Rename a hard disk will cause problems?

When I got my new custom Windows 7 PC built last year, the technician just copied over my old XP, which was a Compaq machine. I don't know if he named the "Compaq" c: or if Windows automatically named that. What I want to do is to rename the drive to something more relevant, since this is a Compaq computer.

If I rename the drive, it causes problems with the applications already installed on it?

Thanks for your help!

Name change is OK. The drive letter (C:\ etc.) is the part you do not want to change (cannot change if Windows is installed on it), if the partition has installed software.
If a partition has only the files that are not related (target or path) to any software, you can change the drive letter as well.

    I think my laptop satellite PRO M10 HD upgrade but I do not know if the Toshiba 80 GB HD MK-8025GAS fits well inside the laptop. would be any problem of pins or something similar? I did look at other Toshibas not HD and they are not due to external HD case, near the axis side.

    Can any boyd help me?

    The response of the Toshiba storage Division was:
    "For more information about using a 80 GB HARD drive, contact the manufacturer of your laptop."

    Yes really well!

    Hello

    As you probably know hard drives manufactured by Toshiba, you can find in the notebooks of different laptop manufacturers. Toshiba HARD drive producer is not obliged to test the compatibility of products with thousands of laptop models. Regarding that it is OK.

    Back to your question: your laptop model comes with 30, 40 and 60 GB HDD, depending on the hardware configuration. Unfortunately there is no public document on the compatibility of the HARD disk for your model, but it is possible that 80 GB HARD drive will not be recognized correctly by the BIOS. If you wish, you can contact the Service of your country partner and try to pick up a few details.

    Good luck!

  • The modernization Pavilion dv8t 16 GB memory will cause problems?

    I have a HP Pavilion dv8t Quad Edition Series Notebook PC, product number: VF836AV. The maximum amount of memory that can be installed in it is 8 GB, according to the operating instructions. I recently replaced the original 8 GB with 16 GB of memory, and the 16 GB is recognized automatically. The Windows system information report now shows that the installed physical memory is 16.0 GB and total physical memory is 16.0 GB. In addition, the original memory installed in the PC has been Crucial DDR3 PC3-10600 of type, and I replaced it with a Crucial DDR3 PC3-12800 memory of type. However, the newly installed 12800 DDR3 memory does not work at its full rated speed, it runs at the same speed as the original memory. There seems to be no problem with the configuration of the improved memory, but I can't help but wonder why the manual (and even Crucial memory Advisory tool) says that the maximum installed memory should be 8 GB. Memory of 16 GB currently installed will cause damage or some other problem in the long term?

    Hello:

    A few other people have installed 16 GB of memory in their notebooks with 1st generation i7 quad cores and reported no problems at all.

    I would be not the least bit concerned the performance of 16 GB in your mobile life.

    The reason why that memory does not run at 1600 MHz is...

    Memory can only run as fast as the processor FSB speed which, in the case of yours is 1333 MHz (10600).

    If the 12800 memory simply downlclocked to match the speed of the processor.

    Not until you get to the Intel 3rd generation I series with an Intel 7 series chipset processors memory runs at 1600 MHz.

    So there is nothing wrong at all to your situation.

  • Downing, one of my three guests will cause problems in vCenter?

    I need to update the firmware of the controller on my three hosts. The production server only virtual machine that we currently have a very low maintenance window. So I stopped all the virtual machines on the same host I can then shut it to the bottom/update the firmware on this host without causing problems with the rest of the vCenter environment? If I'm able to do, I have another question. Once guests are updates that are not hosting the production server I could move the production server VM to one of the servers updated until the host is updated and then bring him back?

    One of the reasons for getting a cluster is to avoid downtime in the event of a failure of the host, and/or maintenance. As long as the remaining guests have enough resources (CPU, memory) to run more virtual machines, there will be no problems.

  • RND4000 - change the hard disks, will that erases data on older players

    I took out the old records and set it asside.

    Then put in some different readers. Different drives are from a NAS RNDX4000 and they initialize automatically.

    I wasn't expecting that.

    Now, if I take on different disks and put the old disks in will I lose all the data?

    I need to still get the data on the old disks. They worked very well.

    I don't want them to be initalized.

    The reason is that the RNDX4000 was struck by lightning. Really wanted to get information out of thoes readers. Now, I don't want to lose the information I had in RND4000 work.

    OS 4.x ReadyNAS all begin with the formatting of disks when they are hot-inserted and in many cases even when they are not hot-inserted.

    But if you turn off, insert the old disks in their original locations, and then powered on, then the system should simply repeat the operation without loss of data or reformatting.

  • AVG Internet Security and AVG PC Tuneup will cause problems after upgarding to Windows 10?

    Original title: AVG vs 10 widows

    I used AVG Internet Security 2015 and AVG PC Tuneup 2015.  They will create no problem if I install Windows 10 as a replacement for Windows 7 Home Edition? wouldn't be better to remove them?

    If you look at the AVG support community there is not a lot of issues with AVG and Windows 10 products and the few that you can read on are resolved quickly - usually with an AVG uninstall and reinstall (especially after the migration of the BONE).

    If you are migrating your Windows 7 to Windows 10 I think I would uninstall all AVG products if they don't get in the way, completed the transition from OS and then reinstall AVG products from scratch on Windows 10.  Some problems of AVG support are usually solved with uninstall/reinstall anyway.

    From the looks of the circulation in this Windows 7 community, you're more likely to have questions Windows 7 migration to Windows 10 (or try to go back) with AVG.
