  • HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

    Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

    You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

    Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

    Am trying to re - install Acrobat 9 Pro (includes the Distiller) after installing a new hard drive. iMac 27 "2009, ElCapitan 11.11.6. I have the original dmg file. have also tried copying from back up. Same thing is happening anyway. It seems to load correctly. When open it asks my password but not to its own serial number. It is open, but don't watch not at the full bar at the top, that the word Acrobat, and it does nothing? Worked very well before the old drive crashing. On the same operating system?

    Not compatible does not mean that it cannot work (even if sometimes this does not mean that). This means that it has never been tested and not be fixed; This often means people have seen strange and unpredictable issues.

    Acrobat makes changes to the system, it is always more vulnerable. DC Acribat is the current version. If the goal is to slow down completely, perhaps more profitable subscription activity.

  • Help! -PDE-S3100 Bluray does not read My Passport USB hard drive.

    My brand new BDP-S3100 works well with everything... except that it does not read my hard drive 1 TB passport. I know that the hard drive and cable are fine, because I can access and play movie files using my old LG Blu - ray player.

    The player does not seem to recognize the drive, as it shows in the menu of the screen as "My Passport", but then it just keeps load information for minutes (I see progress in rotation of the icon), until it stops and shows nothing.

    I checked, and the Sony player has the latest version of installed firmware.

    Any ideas? Thank you!

    Thanks for the reply.

    In fact, I managed to solve the problem by unplugging the player for about 10 minutes (I should have tried this first)! After that, it will work very well and I was able to access the AVI files in my laptop hard drive.

    See you soon.

    Hello

    If your problem is with Office, read this:

    ·                         Office TRIAL activation

    ·                         you would have a preinstalled trail version of office installed

    There are only so many days use or use of the times with a version of office to test

    I'm sorry but the Office comes for free with a windows operating system

    You must purchase separately the Office

    and the product key on your computer/laptop is for the windows operating system not the office suite of applications

  • Windows XP Pro does not correctly load after the release of the Radeon graphics driver

    Hello

    I have a Shuttle XPC with Windows XP Pro and an ATI Radeon Sapphire graphics card. The entire system is 5-6 years, if that helps my raw description.

    My graphic card Radeon has had performance problems, so I downloaded ATI "autodetect tool" and he did choose the update of the driver concerned. After installation and reboot, my PC load Windows XP, but remains unused in ' grainy 8 colors low resolution version ' of my office. No icons, toolbar or whatever it is well visible. The mouse moves the pointer autour, but does not respond to clicks. The only combination of keys which gives anything is Ctrl + Alt + Delete, raise the usual options (in this case useless) to lock the computer, close the session, stop etc.

    In short, it seems that I'm not really on my desk, even if it loaded my wallpaper by default.

    'Safe mode' or "last working configuration" does not take me anywhere useful.

    How to contact with the system to at least start to change my settings for graphics cards?

    I thank very you much for any help.
