I have an Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830 t-68U118. The original hard drive died, so I replaced it with a new hard drive. I loaded Windows 7 x 64 and loaded the chipset drivers and the network drivers. The laptop is always my bluetooth equipment (even if I loaded the drivers Atheros). Does anyone else have this problem? How can I get the bluetooth to work?
It would probably depend on the status of the warranty of the system.
You must contact the service for options.

Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.
How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.
I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:
Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive. SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max. Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.
Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive). To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp. For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc
There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:
http://safelyremove.com/index.html Among other features:The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.

How can I get my computer to use my second drive?
I went to my computer and saw that I have 2 hard drives, each written that they have about 70 GB. Is this really true I have 140 GB in total? If so, how can I get my computer to use my other drive. I'm sorry if I wrote it in the wrong section.
Hello Mathieu,
Yes, there is a way, but there are "attacking" the drive so that the computer knows where it is. Who also encourages you to understand how you want to use the drive. Most people put their operating system and programs on a disk, the disk 'C' (C:\BootDrive would be an example) and to put their data on a second disk, the disk "D" files (D:\DataDrive would be an example).
Once you've got it organized on paper (or in your head), to be labelled and / or format the drive. You can use the mechanism in the post following blue microwave, or you can use the freeware Aomei Partition Assistant application, which will be the ID and label and / or format your drive, according to what is needed. Download the app here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link).
Once installed, you select the drive in question and select Properties, which will tell you the status of your order and options to your need to work with her. For example, if its not allocated, you will need to return it, format it and assign a drive letter. Or he may have already assigned a drive letter and just need to be formatted to be used. Or it may be already in. The program will tell you what you have and what you need to do as your next step.
Let me know what instructions to proceed to the next step.
Kind regards
