New hard drive and CMD R does not work
Hello
My old hard drive crashed while I bought a new one. I tried restoring the internet and it goes through the process, but I just get the apple logo that stays for hours. Can someone point me in the correct direction. I am assumeing that I need to make disk utility but I can't seem to him so that I can format the drive. I also have a snow leopard but startup disk that gets the same results of just the apple logo.

How to reset memory NVRAM (or LANDAU)
If your Mac does not start properly or one of the functions listed in the previous section is strange, you can perform a simple reset of your Mace NVRAM or PRAM. Your Mace NVRAM or PRAM reset Resets the data stored on its default setting. (Note: as always, we strongly recommend having a full backup of your important data before troubleshooting your Mac.)
The process to reset the PRAM and NVRAM is exactly the same thing. Just follow these steps:
(1) turn off your Mac.
(2) (2) tourner turn on your Mac, and when you hear the ringtone to start, immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. (Note: you can use a wired keyboard to reset).
(3) holding the keys until the Mac restarts and you hear the startup chime for the second time, and then release the keys.
After resetting the NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure some of your settings of Mace. If you're still having problems with your Mac, you may want to consider resetting the SMC.
What is SMC?
On Macs with Intel processors, SMC is system management controller. The SMC chip controls your function of sleep Mace, various lights and indicators, speed of the fan and keyboard backlight power among other things. So if your fan Mace is out of whack, lights are misconduct, he answer correctly when the lid is closed, or the Mac not turn on at all, you might want to reset the SMC. (Note: again, be sure to have a full backup of your important data before resetting the SMC)
How to reset the SMC in a MacBook with a non-removable battery
(1) stop the Mac.
(2) connect your power adapter to your Mac and a power source.
(3) with the Mac turned off, press shift-control-Option and press the power button at the same time.
(4) release all the keys and turn on your Mac.

HP 6450 b HARD drive in secondary Bay does not work
I bought a HARD drive caddy to mount a drive to expand on my HP 6450 b (Win 10) using the connection of SATA DVD ROM.
First with SO HARD drive is a WD 250 GB SATA 2 3 GB/s.
I see my product spec TEC and I chose a HARD Seagate 500 GB SATA 3 6 Gbps drive to put in the caddy as a secondary HARD drive.
I mounted the caddy with the new HARD drive, but it does not work: initially, the portable green light turn on, but does not Society. Without any error message, after a few seconds the led become yellow and green for some time and after that the PC turns off.
When I put off the caddy with the secondary HARD disk, the OS starts correctly.
I read similar posts in the forum and I have:
(1) check the option in the BIOS to activate the secondary HARD drive is active (in FACT, it is enable)
(2) turn off the launch of the er disk HARD secondary (DONE)
(3) test on the HARD drive (in FACT, it's OK)
I tried to set up in BIOS the SATA 3 GB/s speed, but I can't find the option. I see that someone has done this action.
That would be the problem?
I also think that could be a problem with drivers to support the new secondary HARD drive, but I don't know how to do.
Is there someone who could help me?
Thank you
Andrea

New test: the pc does not start if I put on the caddy without hard drive.
I think it is proof that the problem is my caddy.
I would also come to this conclusion. Request a RMA number for that one and find another brand.

I read everything I can find on this problem. I don't have any roxio software on my machine and this driver is associated with the roxio software. This problem just started a week ago. the only program I have installed is corel photo album 6. I uninstalled the driver and then win7 reinstalls on reboot with the same problem. This is associated with a recent windows update? is there a registry fix? WTF?
Kent...
Hello
The updates that you have installed?
We are not sure what could have caused this problem. You can try to remove the affected filter drivers and check. This helped little.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit in the list programs.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}Warning There may be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must ensure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the default data value is the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM and the class data value is CDROM.
3. in the right pane, click UpperFilters, and then click on remove.
4. click on Yes to confirm the deletion of the UpperFilters registry entry.
5. in the right pane, click LowerFilters, and then click on remove.
6. click on Yes to confirm the deletion of the LowerFilters registry entry.
7. exit the registry editor and then restart the computer.Note After the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry and the LowerFilters registry entry, you may lose functionality in certain programs such as CD recording programs. In this scenario, you must reinstall all of the programs involved.

I had to reinstall Vista and now my display driver and the microphone does not work.
I recently had to reinstall Windows Vista on my PC. Now my audio works perfectly, but my microphone will not even if the Control Panel recognizes it is connected and working properly. Also, my display driver stopped responding from time to time and crashes my computer. Geek Squad, I need new drivers, and they want me to pay 130 to install. I'd rather do it myself. I tried to install the driver for my card NVIDIA and Vista, but that did not help.

BOUGHT NEW COMPUTER WINDOWS 10, CHANGED ITUNES MEDIA LOCATION FOR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. THE MUSIC DOES NOT APPEAR ON ITUNES.
Changing the iTunes media folder location setting affects only where new additions to your library will be stored. To use a disk external drive to store your library complete (and assuming that you have access to the original data of the library on an old computer) you must copy the iTunes folder, by default in C:\Users\username\Music, on the external drive - structure library and its records should be like this:
The hold button SHIFT DOWN when you start iTunes and when you see this message:
Click choose a library... then find and select the iTunes Library.itl in iTunes on your external drive folder.
For more information, see user turingtest2 on make a library of portable split. You must also acquire a 2nd external drive and allows create and maintain a backup your library.

Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?
A message on the RAID 0 volume failed is a recognizable error message, but the news is not good.
RAID, by its nature, requires 2 or more drives. RAID = redundant Bay of independent (or inexpensive) disks
RAID 0 is the worst of the different RAID choices. It increases the performance of hard disk by spreading or striping, data on two disks so that he can read and write more quickly. Unfortunately, such a picture offers no protection of data - in fact, it increases the chances of loss of data since the failure of a disk in the array results in the loss of all data on both drives. RAID 0 configurations are standard on high-end and PCs graphics games and provide a performance gain measurable, albeit modest for games, graphics applications and other programs intense from the hard drive.
In view of the foregoing, the best course of action for you and your parents is to take the computer to a local computer professional - not a type of place BigBoxStoreUSA or GeekSquad.

Hi, I hope I'm in the right forum! I have a laptop Aspire with Photoshop CS5 extended. The computer's hard drive crashed and so I had to get another hard drive! Obviously as the hard drive crashed, I was unable to disable CS5 extended before the crash. I have it charging on the new hard drive and in the meantime bought a desktop computer in which I loaded CS5. Updates have been working fine on the laptop. I tried to update the program on the new computer, but continue to receive error messages. I have read in any problems and think maybe computer laptop harddrive that crashed had CS5 yet on it, as I was unable to turn it off because I didn't know he was going to crash. I am only able to load CS5 on 2 computers and if it is still on the destroyed hard drive so I'm not able to turn it off and so I presume that is why I can not download the updates on my new computer. I hope someone can help me. I want to keep CS5 on both computers. Thanks in advance bunch Kara

HDD problem IBM Thinkpad T42. I can't install NEW Hard Drive and NEW OEM Windows XP?
Hi all
When I turn on the notebook Windows XP starts up and everything is loaded. But after 5 or 10 minutes, the response is very slow. If I click on any window and try to open any folder, or open internet explore it takes about 1 or 2 minutes to respond. I tried several ways to scan disk and Defrag, but still that are of no use. I also tried 'Difficulty automatically File System Errors' and ' will search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors ", but this problem is still there. Even when I stop it takes too long to stop about 15 to 20 minutes.
When I turn on again NEXT DAY Windows XP starts and everything loads quickly. After 5 or 10 minutes, the response is very slow. This problem occurs for a few days.
I then used "IBM Rescue and Restore" to load fresh operating system. Still the problem does not get fixed.
Can you get it someone please let me know if this is problem of hard disk or something else. I'm guessing it's related to the hard drive.
If it is the drive hard problem how to save (clone) of this old hard drive AGAIN DISK (after buying) HARD.
If I buy the NEW HARD DRIVE and CD/DVD of NEW OPERATING SYSTEM OEM VERSION it will work? Do existing mother board ALLOW to load a NEW VERSION of OS OEM?
Thank you
Contact the manufacturer of your computer, IBM and ask them to send a recovery disk/s XP set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

Don't know how to do this, pls help if possible.
Hello;
Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
I read your post on problems to do a restore by using the disks and wanted to help.I know this may sound weird, but at the time of Win7, I would have problems installation or upgrade of PC, if there is too much memory system. So, what I would say, it's to put the old memory and see if that makes a difference. I know it shouldn't, but it could.
Good luck
I'm a volunteer and I do not work for, or represent, HP.
