New number of hard disk?

I installed a new HD. I could see it in the list of HD but have not yet seen and don't know how to access it. I used another program that sees the HD but XP only. Anyone knows how I can get for it? I tried to reinstall the drive configuration, but nothing says that I do not have access. This is a dynamic disk and says that I can not put in place. He then use Windows disk management to get back to a basic disk. I don't know how to get to the Windows disk management area. Anyone?

One way to get into disk management is:
Right click on 'My Computer'-> manage-> Storage-> disk management
Another way:
Start-> Run-> "diskmgmt.msc".

Here are some articles that might help:

    Hello

    Did you use the FAT32 or NTFS?
    I use partition Magic 8 to do and to manage the partitions on the HARD disk.

  • Export the drive letter of windows and vmware number of hard disk in csv format

    Hello

    is there a way to export to CSV, the windows drive letter (c:, d:, e:, etc.) and the number of disk hard vmware ("Disk 1", hard disk 2", etc.) to a csv file?

    Take a look at this document: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-12180

    It is based on the idea of Hugo Peeters', but it uses the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet and therefore does not require a network connection to work between the virtual machine and your station PowerCLI.

    Export is sent to the Out-GridView cmdlet, but it can be easily redirected to a CSV file by replacing the line:

    $DiskInfo | Out-GridView

    with:

    $DiskInfo | Export-Csv "C:\Script\VMDiskMapping.csv".

  • New update of hard disk for Satellite L670D-102

    Hello

    I need to get windows 7 on my old hard drive and on my new hard drive update. I can't find "media copy" file/folder. I did a windows disc when I arrived as he forced me to do but only loads a 'safe' version of windows on the new hd and wonder for other discs.

    Local dealer believes there are 3 back up discs to load up. I tried to save, but it takes more than 7 DVDs and still unfinished when I run out of time. Takes all day to do it. I tried an 'image system' through the windows and that works, but said that the new disk is the same size that the old image of disk system has been removed. Old drive 250 GB I think, new drive is 1 TB. Local dealer said try to reset the computer to the factory and see if "copy media" thread/folder reappears.

    Someone at - it ideas please!

    Message has been modified: the model name added to title

    At first, I must say that you must tell us which model of laptop you have exactly.

    In general the whole situation is pretty simple. Your laptop came with the version of the OS pre-installed (recovery image). Using preinstalled Toshiba media creator you recovery tool can create bootable recovery (DVD or USB) media that you can use for the installation of recovery.

    After HDD just change boot image recovery this recovery media created facility.

    To be honest I do not understand your ad and you wrote all this has created media.

    Hello texcajun, you should be aware that the Windows operating system will only allow a maximum of 4 primary partitions.

    Your hard drive has probably already created 3 partitions. It is more likely is the 100 MB system partition, the partition C:\ and the D:\ Recovery partition.

    It may be possible to create additional logical partitions, linked to the primary partitions.

    Just some thoughts.

  • Missing originals after copying photos for a new mac external HARD disk library. How to fix this?

    Move the library of photos hosted on an external HARD during a new mac disc.

    I can open the app and import new pictures, but I can't change any of my previous photos because he complains that the original is not found. The "Use as system library" button is gray which implies that the current library of photos on the new mac is defined as the system library.

    I still have access to the external HARD drive that I imported a couple hundred new photos for the new mac.

    How can I fix?

    How did you set up your library.  You use a library "referenced"?

    If Yes, then you have lost the links with the original files.

    You have the iCloud library enabled in the preferences of the iCloud photo Panel?

  • How to change the application installed HARD disk?

    My PC following setting:

    because the disc is not enough space and need to buy a new SATA III HARD disk after formatting under drive Z:

    I copy everything in D: z: readers and I would exchange the disks for the following parameter:

    Z: old disk will become D: drive for installed application, because many applications and installed adjustment use the D: drive for application, so I'd like to preserve the D: drive for application, but I get no idea on how to swap the disks.

    If you have the recovery disks, they should include your operating system (Vista) and all the drivers and programs provided with your computer. He must restore it to the way it was when you bought it originally.

    You need to update right after installation (of course).

    Good luck!

  • Satellite l.660-12 q - would the recovery disk rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition

    Talk about confusion. Does anyone know how to get a Toshiba C660 work after the HARD drive failed and the owner has stupidly NOT followed the instructions to make a recovery disk. Will be the recovery disk (if buy you one from Toshiba) rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition and install windows 7 (original OS) and accept the product key printed on the Windows license, attached to the base of the laptop. I have read a number of suggestions, but these have been considered incorrect by others.

    Surely, Toshiba must have a way to sort this problem.

    They read these messages?

    Hey Buddy

    I don't think it's really complicated, that I could find all the information about the recovery procedure in the user's manual

    The recovery disk must be created on the first day of purchase its recommended to create one in case something would be wrong with the HARD drive.

    The recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package containing Win system, drivers, tools and all the stuff pre-installed on the notebook.
    You bought the laptop and the system has already been activated so that you have need of t the key placed at the bottom of the unit.
    In addition, the use of the recovery disc formats the drive HARD integer (partitions too) and set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of the purchase.

    There is also another option to recover the notebook called HARD drive recovery. This HARD drive recovery requires no recovery disk. The recovery disc HARD would be to use format ONLY partition C (System).

  • Help! Installation of HP Vista recovery disks to a new HARD disk

    I found the same problem in this forum and several others online, but have not been able to find one with a solution!

    I have a HP Pavilion Notebook DV6633US

    I created recovery discs when I got to the computer

    Last week, crashed HARD drive.

    I bought a new Western Digital HARD drive (the original in the laptop was a Seagate)

    The Western Digital graphic shows the compatibility with my laptop specifically

    I upgraded from the 120 GB to 160 GB

    I tried to run my recovery disks

    It installs the necessary boot files, runs the Windows progress bar and then goes to a blue screen with an operable mouse cursor and an error message that says:

    "This PC is not supported by the system recovery discs. You can continue to recover this system with these discs. »

    The laptop is out of warranty at this stage.

    I contacted Technical Support HP in 2 ways and got 2 different answers. I don't know who to believe and do not want to take the time or spend the money on ordering the wrong solution.

    Technology through the Online Chat support says:

    My recovery disks have "gone wrong", and I need to order new HP.

    They insist that will not solve the problem, but I have read in several places online is not the solution

    Technology through support email wrote:

    Just bought HP hard drive works, it comes with its own recovery disks. The recovery disks have a tatoo/signature for specific hardware.

    The HARD drive I bought was reduced to $40. The HP HARD drive is $ 130.

    A ride more. If the HARD drive has a tatoo/signature on my initial, recovery discs - it true for other components?

    While it was still under warranty, I got a CD/DVD defective drive replaced, also a defective mother replaced, and I added the additional RAM.

    I saw several other posts with the same question and a number or suggestions are displayed, but it seems that they never send once they have found a solution that worked.

    Before I bite the bullet and spend the $130 on their HARD drive I want to be sure that will work, and if there is a way I can make it work with the HARD drive that I have bought, I would of course like to do.

    Here, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    SOLVED!

  • When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

    Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.
