Satellite A60-772: What readers need after format HARD drive?
I would format my hard drive. Should what drivers I have to load after the format? Thank you
Hello Eliane
After the installation of the OS, you must install the drivers, tools and utilities. As far as I know with your laptop is also supplied Tools & Utilities CD. This CD contains all this stuff. If you do not, you can download it from the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page support & downloads.
It is very important to install things in the right order. To make this review please document Instructions of facilities.

Hello
I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The HARD drive is configured to have a small partition for reserved system, Partition C for the system and the Partiton E for my files. D drive is the DVD ROM Drive.
Very occasionally when I try to open the my computer Explorer window is white and I get a message that I need to format the drive F. I did not have a permanent Drive F and when this happened had no other connected devices.
Drive F is often used, as are other drive letters, by various devices from time to time, such as external hard drives, Flash, my TomTom SatNav players, camera, readers of cards etc.
Can someone explain why this happens and if I can do something to stop what is happening in the future?

Some Dell computers hard drives are extremely sensitive, if your computer is DELL' consider the technical service. Because if you run recovery, you have a headache.

Hi all
I use Sony handycam model XDR150E. I am not able to take any video, it always shows me HDD format error.
Please let me know how to solve
You can also use a data recovery software to help you.the disc you are trying to access either is not designed to be used with your OS, or it has been damaged and the data can no longer be read. Each diskette and hard disk must be formatted to prepare media for use with a particular file system.
to resolve the error format hard drive , use a third-party software or ask for the help of an engineer.

Do I need an external hard drive if I use iCloud?
Do I need an external hard drive if I use iCloud? I had used a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition, 500 GB, for the past 7 years. It kept blinking and blinks so I unplugged probably too old.
Now, I'm wondering if I should get another external hard drive or if iCloud does automatic backups. I'm not too knowledgeable on these things and would appreciate help.
I use a Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite.
Thank you!
Yes, you need an external hard drive to back up your Mac. iCloud or iCloud library reader are not a backup of your data and documents. Are the copy job. Get a new external drive with enough storage - Lear three times the size of the internal drive of your Mac and then set up Time Machine.

Installation of SP3 on a newly formatted HARD drive
Hello
I have a few questions about the installation of Windows XP Service Packs on newly formatted hard drives.
Recently I have formatted a new HARD drive and installed Windows XP Home Edition. In order to be upgraded to Service Pack 1 to 3, it is recommended to connect to Windows Update and download and install it from there. I did this and was prompted to install Service Pack 2. During the last steps of the installation (I think that durng the procedure of 'start process'), I lost Internet connectivity and was impossible to reconnect (I use a USB dongle. I think that a virus infection is interfering with the connection). That's why I had to restart my computer for the installation could be completed, but it seemed to be successful that I was able to reboot without any problem. I assume that the installation had actually finished and it was just reset stage that was interrupted.
Question: even if the installation of Service Pack 2 has not finished and my machine seems to be fine, reinstall Service Pack 2 in order to ensure that it is completely installed?
Question: Why should I install SP2? If Service Pack 3 contains all fixes and features of all previous Service Packs and it is acceptable to upgrade to Service Pack 1 to 3 directly, why didn't Windows Update invite me to install Service Pack 3 instead?
Question: I have found a manual download of Service Pack 3 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5b33b5a8-5e76-401f-be08-1e1555d4f3d4&displaylang=en), but Microsoft strongly recommends that use you it only on machines in a network, and not on a single computer. Y at - it hurt to do?
A question here, is that if Microsoft recommends that download the latest Service Packs of Windows Update online, so it seems not possible to fully guarantee your Windows installation before connecting the interest for the first time. All the while I'm software download and installation of Service Pack 2, malware, worms and viruses have been infecting my computer (Avast! blocked a malware exploit). So even if I managed to upgrade to Service Pack 3, my machine is already infected.
Is there a recommended way to upgrade to Service Pack 3 before you connect to the Internet for the first time?
Thank you
Tristan

Iso file of windows xp can directly be installed USB on a formatted hard drive?
Iso file of windows xp can directly be installed USB on a formatted hard drive?
Not directly.
There is a SMALL chance that if your hardware supports it (unfortunately never say you anything on your PC or BIOS), you can boot from a USB stick or an optical drive and install Windows XP like this.But it is unlikely.In addition, tell us what you mean by 'windows xp iso file. This is very vague, and we do not know what you are talking about.Finally, if you want to ask questions here, really read the answers and recognize them in some way.

Original title: Windows 7
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP 1 that have previously been installed then bought my laptop. Product key number is fixed under the laptop.
I need to format my drive due to some problems and having to reinstall Windows 7. can I use the same product key and where can I get the installer of Windows 7 because I don't have it.
Thank you
New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".
For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.
It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?
Make sure you scroll down and read the section:
What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?
