• missing hal.dll message after removing the hard drive

  Original title:Ok, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll. My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer?

  OK, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll. My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer? The reason why I ask, is that I physically removed the hard drive from the computer and then start the computer I get the same message hal.dll lack. Since the hard drive is not installed, the only place where this message comes's cmos or bios of the computer.
  I know it seems odd, but I couldn't believe it when I saw it after removing the hard drive. It used to be with older computers and Windows 95 or 98 when you took a hard drive that wasn't working and installed with one that works from a different computer, you could swap out and boot the computer and make a few changes to some drivers if you.

  So what is windows xp write to the memory cmos on my computer?

  > Ok, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll.

  The same as what? If you reference another thread, please include a link to it.

  > My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer?

  It is not write anything for her at all.

  > Lack of the reason why I ask this is that I physically removed the hard drive from the computer and then start the computer I get the same message hal.dll.

  I think that you're wrong. I would like to say two things happening:

  1. you have more than one hard drive and the problematic drive was not removed, or

  2. you deleted something other than a hard drive.

  Do you have a CD in your CD drive by chance?

  What is the brand and model of your PC? Are you able to get into the BIOS?

• I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter t

  Redesign existing external hard disks and still 6 Lightroom able to find existing photos.

  I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

  I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.

  Any help would be welcome.

  Thank you!

  So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

  Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

• U430 power and key flashes after removing the hard drive

  Hello world

  I just bought a U430 touch and try to put in an (Sandisk Ultra Plus 256 GB) SSD.

  I followed the instructions on how to open the lid and remove the hard drive as described in the maintenance manual. I created a USB startup disk and changed the order of boot from USB. But when I try to press the Novo key to then proceed with the installation of Windows, the power light and keyboard just begins to Flash slowly. I tried it turn instead to use the Novo key and the same thing happens.

  I tried to do it with and without the key USB is plugged. I also then put the old hard drive and put the top back on and he always does. I thought maybe that just means that it is in mode 'sleep' but by pressing the power or by pressing the keys does not help.

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you.

  Pretty beast feeling right now. The memory seemed to bottom, but it wasn't.

• Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1DJ does not supply power to the top after removing the HARD drive

  Hello world!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1DJ. It has a 750 GB HARD drive, but it wasn't enough for me. So I bought a Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive. I have undone all the screws, carefully (using my driver's license), lifted up the plastic and removed a HARD disk.

  BTW, I really like this plastic solution on the HARD drive!

  Then I realized, that all my stuff is still on it.
  So I put the HARD drive, I'm going to copy everything on my drive hard Ext. planning.
  Well I screwed it back, got the battery, put the back of the AC adapter.

  Battery charge light was on, indicating that the current flows. I pressed the 'Start' button, and nothing happened. He broke yet still nothing. I plugged the battery and the AC output adapter, I held the Power button for 30 seconds, put everything back still nothing. I got scared. Opened back once more, just to take a look at, so anything that slipped on. Nope.

  Everything is a okay. What should do? I have the warranty? I hope not.
  Can I fix myself without void my warranty? I hope so!

  And also: I bought the laptop in Hungary, but I'm in Germany. Can I fix here in case my warranty is valid?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Sincerely,
  Bertold Juhasz

  I just took the hard drive out of mine and put it back to see if I could reproduce your problem after trying several times I had no problem.
  Have you checked the pins at the end of the hard drive to see if all are damaged, another that I can't imagine what else.

• Satellite M30 - error message after replacing the DVD drive

  Virgin, excused my English ;)
  I have a satellite m30 and I replaced the DVD-cd-rw drive in series with a SLIM NEC ND-6650 DOUBLE LAYER, DVD time bios gives me error
  0203: failure IDE #2
  Is it possible to remove this message?

  Hello

  As far as I know that this message can not be eliminated and it happens every time if you want to use the drive is not compatible. Always is it that all readers may not work with all models of laptops.

  In this case, fundamental problem is the pin assignment. It is not the same in all players.

• CD-ROM error at the start after replacing the DVD drive - Qosmio F20-574

  OK, so I have a Toshiba Qosmio F20/574 and I am trying to replace the factory DVD player (TEAC DV-W28E) with a Liteon DS-8A1P (f/w CX12). With or without a DVD Im reader get a CD-ROM error at startup. The only time where what I don't get, is when I start with the factory DVD player.

  Here are the things I've tried...
  -Cleared CMOS memory
  -Remove the bezel to ensure his grip at bottom
  -l' utility EEPROM set the drive to slave.
  -tested the portable player in another
  -uninstalled the factory dvd player via the Device Manager and tried to boot with the new dvd drive

  Here are the things that I found bizarre...
  -in the BIOS (BIOS 1.30 ACP) under IO device, it shows the hard drive and cd, but it is not listed by name, his watch only the IRQ of the primary and secondary IDE controller (integrated drive HARD IDE primary (1F0H/IRQ14), CD-ROM (170 H/IRQ15) secondary IDE). This does not change, even if I start without a DVD player.
  -There is no update available for this laptop BIOS. It is a Toshiba of the Japan and the Ive tried using Qosmio F20 BIOS 1.40 to another region, but this does not work.
  -I can't find a firmware for the Liteon DS-8A1P (CX17) update

  I can't think of anything to try. I really need help! Any ideas?

  I'm afraid that you are using the optical disc drive not compatible and there is nothing you can do. Check it please s user guides document for your model of laptop and you will find a list of all compatible ratings.

• replace the dvd drive pavillion 1157

  The DVD in my HP Pavilion p7 player - 1157c is having a problem reading the CD/DVD, once they are placed in the drawer.  That's what I've done so far:

  • I reinstalled the cables although they were not cowards.
  • Uninstalled the DVD driver and restarted the computer and Windows 7 64 b reinstalled the driver.

  The drawer will always open and close and makes normal sounds when you first insert a CD, but it stops after a few seconds.

  After that these things did not work, I decided to buy a replacement for the CD/DVD drive last night and went to install it this morning but it seems that the power supply works in the way and I can't get the DVD player.   Y at - it something for the old DVD out without removing the power supply?   I'm usually not mechanically challenged but this has me confused.

  Thank you very much

• CD/DVD drivers are missing and my system is not able to detect the dvd drive.

  Hi, after installing some updates my dvd/cd drive is not detected by the system and the option is not in my computer menu, so I checked in the Device Manager. and my cd/dvd drivers are completely absent and not present in the Device Manager. I m using vista Home premium, help someone
  Thank you

  Hello

  1st reboot and watch again in Device Manager:

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system
  Designer and manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case
  (Read burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 pieces
  No function while others do so properly.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? He
  are some registry entries that do not fix the resolution of problems and those who "might".
  be the cause.

  Check with your system manufacturer Maker and possible device for two firmware
  updates and the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the CD/DVD drive - sub
  the key of course because there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific
  involved as well as the settings key.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE
