My main drive is more initializing.

Original title: unreadable computer

Start my computer, I was confronted indecipherable text maybe machine code.  I tried safe mode and back to a new restore point, but it would be of no use.  I divided my drive in three and the two other drives work fine but unfortunately my main drive is useless.  In 20 years of the computer, I can say I have not encountered this problem before and I'm at a loss how to fix it.  My windows XP boot disc cannot me access to this partition to repair or reinstall it on top of the ideas on this issue.

"Boot XP floppy" as the diskettes... Needless.

Try to install the xp installation cd, boot the pc on a cd, press the button r to start menu (recovery console).

Select 1 for C: press ENTER key password. Type: CHKDSK C: /p

Run it several times, and then type: DiskPart

See what collection say about youre hd

In addition, C: being the partition with xp on it.

Also, you might also download & run the hd to hd mfg youre checker, get the

Ms - Dos version, install on floppy disk, pc boot diskette

  • T410s Ultrabay problem - hard drive requires more power

    I'm working on upgrading a T410s to give it as a gift to my girlfriend. I've already upgraded the ram and had to replace the screen and both went very well.

    Now, I'm working on adding a second hard drive with the ultrabay. I'll keep the original SSD as my boot drive and you want to use the ultrabay for a normal HARD drive to increase the total space for her. It is a graphic design / photography major space would be nice.

    I bought a 3rd party caddy and a WD Black 750 g 7200 RPM drive through Amazon. I followed the advice that I heard somewhere that you need to make a shortcut of the old EVD to access the new hard disk drive. When I installed the ultrabay and booted up, the computer could not access E:. Nothing happened.

    I heard somewhere else ultrabay housing could use only 5 units of power (I don't know if it was watts or volts) and therefore the WD black drive series, I got is likely to need more power to operate (9-12 units). This noise to anyone who has installed a ultrabay correct? Maybe at the time where the T410s first came out, most hard drives use more than 5 units?

    Any recommendations? Thank you!

    I don't know what are the units of power, and I never heard of the the ultrabay on a T410s not giving a hard drive of all the power he needs. I must admit that I am very skeptical about the claim that you read.

    Perhaps the drive has not been initialized because it's new? If you are on Windows 7, click the Start button and type "create and format" in the search bar. You should see the drive it so that it can be initialized. Another way to get there is by going to control panel > administrative tools > computer management > disk management.

  • HARD MK5055GSX drive is more right?

    Hi all

    I'm looking for a replacement of the internal hard drive for my satellite u500 (which comes from the FSU). The MK5055GSX is made, I am struggling to know which hard drive internal to buy that would work with my laptop (i.e. what model replaced the MK5055GSX possibly?)

    Thanks for your help

    Hello Trudy

    You may not use the same HARD drive to your machine. Your machine can also be upgraded with the other HARD drive. It is important that you use the HDD with the same connector. I guess that your machine's HARD drive with SATA connector.

    Just talk with your local dealer. Explain that HDD was inside and you will get the new HARD drive as a replacement.

    What you can do now is to exchange the original HARD drive, much more fast SSD.

  • Pavilion 9408nr: Add a second drive for another main drive for laptops

    How can I add a second drive for another main drive of laptop computers. I took the car on the same cell type that crashed by the motherboard. I put it in drive Bay 2. Problems with starting. I sometimes want to boot from disc 2. Is there a MBR somewhere? Are there jumpers to make it slave. Sometimes it will install the software on 2 without any question. Is there a way to make a slave?

    Important-copy all data on the second hard drive you want to save on the first hard drive.

    MBR of Windows with the hard drive. Use Windows Explorer to locate the second hard drive. Right-click on it and format it.  Once this done, all what one is a storage device and not bootable until the operating system is installed to it.

    The BIOS will only see the hard drive as a bootable as it will now be the only drive with a MBR boot sector.

    The days of placement of the jumpers to determine master or slave on the disks hard is long gone. SATA drives have no jumpers slave\master like the old school IDE and Eide did.

  • You need 2 TB 2nd hdd on Pavilion hpe h8 - 1380t so I can clone main drive. Problems?

    I need to spend my second hdd to a 2 TB drive, so I can clone main drive.  Are there compatibility issues, that I need to know?

    It should not be. A 2 TB drive is an option on this model. If it will not be the main disk where the OS is installed, then the only real problem in that you should have to run is to find an additional SATA cable.

    Recently, I uninstalled Nero 7 Essentials on my computer.  Now my drive (D :) no longer works.  I tried to install Nero again, but the drive recognize more no disc when I put it.  What should I do to fix this?

    On reboot, Windows should automatically detect the new hardware and install a driver.  Once this done, go to Device Manager and select update.  Or go to the manufacturer of your computer and get an update for the reader.

  • Hard drive get more complete without me to add what whatsoever

    Hey

    I recently noticed that my 60 gig C: drive becomes more complete at the time. I'm not adding anything to it because I installed all my games on my D drive which is 1 TB. I have norton 2010 is installed with updates, so I doubt that it is a virus. Everyone knows this too and ideas of how to deal?

    Thank you!

    Hi Alex,

    Two files to check:

    (1) C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, updates can be found here and after installation should be removed. Sometimes they are not causing the file to grow.

    (2) C:\Windows\Winsxs, this folder often grows when the software is installed because it provides a way to allow several files images required by each of these programs (at the time of Win9x as "dll _"). Really impossible to remove whatever it is here if you want your software to run properly, but that would explain why you live with loss of disk space. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

  • Put the new upgrade of Windows 10 on my 500 gig SSD and make the main drive (C :)

    Original title: Windows 10

    You want to install (upgrade) new Windows 7 Pro 64) Windows 10.  No problem.

    Here's my question and need help.  I want to put the upgrade of Windows new 10 on my 500 gig SSD and make the main drive (C :)  Just got new PC and the SSD is not yet installed in the new machine.

    Is there a way to do this?  I can install the SSD drive in the pc without problems.  But the pc is set up with the C: drive in the primary.  As I understand it, the update will work, but it will not be for the SSD.

    Suggestions?  Is this possible?

    Windows 7 installation will have to be eliminated if its currently on a separate disk. Which means you have to start over.

    I would first disconnect the hard drive with your Windows 7 installation.

    Install the SSD drive, then install Windows Pro 10 on this subject.

    Download and create a bootable copy of Windows 10 Pro:

    Demarrer start from the installation media, and then select the SSD during installation:

    Reconnect the hard drive, then format the installation hard disk.

    Option to consider:

  • My question is: is there an approach appropriate to where and how files should be created and arranged, except directly in your main drive, in my case C:?

    I recently had a hard drive replaced requiring a new installation of Windows 7. When I went to get the system in place, the guy who set up Windows told me that he created the user directory specifically in a way so that new files to be created in a Documents folder that was created under the username. At least that's what, in my view, said.

    In any case, I always create new folders and their subfolders under Local C: drive.  My question is: is there an approach appropriate to where and how files should be created and arranged, except directly in your main drive, in my case C:? Thank you for your help.

    Windows 7 has been designed with the intention that user folders and files will be store in one of the folders under the users, that is to say the Documents, photos, etc.

    It is not recommended to store in the root, i.e. C:\ directory.

    If you have any other disks or partitions, you can store what you want there.
