    • When you receive this error message?
    • What were the changes made before the issue started?

    Try the SFC scan on the computer.

    SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

    Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC/scannow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.

  • How can I get an another vista disk to reboot my laptop

    Hi all

    I had a system crash about a year because of a virus and a friend wiped my laptop and installed xp saying it was better than vista.

    However, I had nothing but bother with him for about 6 months now, it's just doesn't work the same and of course I can't update the system either.

    I hunted for the vista disk provided with the laptop but I can not find them anywhere and it will cost me a small fortune for a store to reinstall vista for me even if I have my product key.

    Is there anyway that I can get this disk from toshiba or Microsoft to reinstall?

  • Satellite L305D - cannot HARD - Vista disk partition

    I have a new PC laptop toshiba Satellite L305D which I'm unable to partition.
    It works under windows vista.

    I released the hard drive up to 74 GB of capacity of 120 GB.
    Recently, I used utility partition paragon that signals the related files and is so unable to make the partition.
    The narrowing of Vista utility does not display again whatever it is, it appears as 0.

    What kind of partitions you now exactly?

    Perhaps you can post a screenshot of the Vista disk management utility because I m a bit confused now. You wrote about 74 GB of free space and Vista doesn't show anything

  • Satellite Pro U400 VISTA disk management has 6 primary partitions

    Hi all!

    I have a strange effect on my Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro U400 (but it seems not to be specific to this one that I saw the same symptoms elsewhere, at the same time):

    I had the laptop with a 320 GB drive with recovery-(invisible / "Configuration EISA", 1,46 Go) system (C:, ~ 150 GB) and data (E:, ~ 150 GB) volumes. It's the usual structure of Toshiba,

    pre-installed OS was Vista professional.

    As I plan to install Linux in addition, I have done as a result of preparations:

    Recovery disc Vista created 1.).
    2.) C: shrunk to ~ 100 GB using Vista disk management tool.
    3.) E: shrunk to Go ~ 98 using Vista disk management tool.
    It is suggested that 4.) E: directly behind C: using Parted Magic CD.

    Finally I got a 97 GB of free space at the end of the disc, and everything worked well away. Creating an additional on the free area, Vista disk management, resulted in an extended partition created by Vista. This extended partition contained the extra volume as well as the free space remaining behind.

    To prepare for installing Linux, I've finally created three logical Volumes inside the extended partition with Vista disk management tool.
    After that, I had the following structure of the partition on the disk (indicated by the Vista Disk Manager):

    invisible 1.46 GB, primary
    C:, ~ 100 GB NTFS, primary, active, System
    E:, ~ 98 GB NTFS, primary, data

    ~ 97 GB extended partition, containing:
    2 GB unformatted (planned for Linux swap)
    20 GB unformatted (planned for Linux root "/")
    21 GB unformatted (planned for Linux "/ home")
    Empty remaining 54 GB space

    More on Vista worked properly!

    Recently, I installed OpenSuse 11.1 using the volumes placed within extended partitions (user-specific configuration). The Installation worked correctly. Logical volumes have been formatted to

    2 GB of swap (swap Linux, / dev/sda5)
    20 GB ext3 (Linux root ' / ' on/dev/sda6)
    21 GB unformatted (Linux "/ home" on/dev/sda6)

    during the installation of Linux. Linux and Vista up and running with their scores. If I look at the hard drive with Linux' partitioning tool, I see three main partitions + range, as expected. The scope contains the Linux partitions + empty disk space.

    HOWEVER:
    ========

    If I look at the hard drive with the Vista disk management tool now, I get the following image:

    invisible 1.46 GB, primary
    C:, ~ 100 GB NTFS, primary, active, System
    E:, ~ 98 GB NTFS, primary, data
    2 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
    20 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
    21 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
    Empty remaining 54 GB space

    This means:
    VISTA DISK MANAGMENT ME PRESENT 6 PRIMARY PARTITIONS WITHOUT ANY COMPLAIN
    Although a hard drive on the PC architecture usually only supports maximum 4 primary partitions.

    Issues related to the:

    Have you ever seen a similar behavior?

    Is this a bug of presentation in the Vista disk management tool?

    Or is it a bug in formatting under Linux?

    Is there a solution for this problem?

    At present, the two BONES work very well. However, the disk will be get permanently damaged as soon as I try to create more partitions in the empty space left?

    Sincere greetings and thanks for your comments.

    Girard

    > Have you ever see similar behavior?
    NO.

    > Is this a bug of presentation in the Vista disk management tool?
    I doubt that it is a bug, I think you forgot something.

    As far as I know you can create 4 partitions on the HARD drive and this is the reason why you have the ability to create an extended partition.
    An extended partition can be divided into several logical drives.

    That is why it s wise to create a primary partition for Windows OS for example and an extended partition, which can decompose the in logical drives (partitions) different.

    However, I put t see a problem if everything works properly

  • Can I replace the memory and not lose what is on the old memory for a Mid 2007 Mack computer desktop Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GHz processor speed, 1 CPU, 4 MB of Cache L1, the 4 GB memory at 800 MHz bus speed.  Only 1 slot can play memory, the other is damaged

    Can I replace the memory and not to lose what's on the memory of the former?  I have a Mid 2007, 20 "desktop Mac, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GHz processor, 1 CPU, 4 MB L2 cache, 4 GB of memory, 800 MHz bus speed.  I have a backup device.  A RAM slot is damaged.

    You are confused of RAM and disk space available.

    RAM stores information temporarily while the Mac is enabled and the application is reached. RAM replacement has no effect on the long term of your information storage.

    The hard drive is where your information is stored in the long term. If you replace your hard drive, you need restore the information from a backup.

    FYI, for your iMac, the maximum RAM is only 6 GB.

  • With Windows XP Professional X 64 expire, what is the replacement? Windows 8 not compatible.

    With Windows XP Professional X 64 expire, what is the replacement? Windows 8 not compatible.

    With Windows XP Professional X 64 expire, what is the replacement? Windows 8 not compatible.

    Windows XP 64-bit is one of those odd elements that does not quite fit in.  It is based on the code of Windows Server (hence why it only goes back to the SP2 not SP3 as Windows XP did) so it is - upgrade (for purchase in any case) options are limited.  Frankly - Windows XP 64-bit is one of these products, most people should have just skipped (in my opinion) - and with this in mind - the replacement for those running it should be to get Windows Vista 64 bit or Windows 7 64-bit or 64-bit Windows 8.  It there just will be no discount to do on monetary incentive plan.

    My suggestion - if your system is good enough, compatible, etc. and you actually * needed * to upgrade (it's not like YOU all just because Microsoft will stop their support extended to it in 2014 - big deal?)  Download Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and clean install.  You can use the free Windows XP (32 bit) MOU to run many older programs, you have * if * you have one that cannot be run under Windows 7 or with the compatibility mode.
     
    In addition - get an unknown computer (for you).  You can find a lease one or something with Windows 7 64-bit, probably for the same amount you'd pay for a version non - OEM Windows 7, pay a little more and you'll probably have a machine that could handle Windows 8 - If you wish.  ;-)

  • I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp.

    I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp. Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?  I would that all is the same except the size of your hard drive will be increased.

    Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?

    Yes.

    You use the disk cloning software.  In some cases, a new player may even be bundled with software that will do this for you.

    Unless your laptop has a second drive Bay (most don't), you will also need an external hard drive enclosure.  As a general rule, these connect via the USB port, although if your laptop has a connector FireWire or eSATA you can also use these interfaces.

    You must select your external enclosure based on 3 criteria: the type of connection to the laptop. the physical size of the disc (2 1/2 inches for computer laptop drives); and player interface (determined by the connection of the internal drive of your laptop). For example only (no recommendation), if you wanted an enclosure for a 2.5 IDE drive "which connects using USB 2.0, Newegg has 17 products

    The (slightly) more expensive items among the software, you will need.  For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602 this particular House will work with SATA or IDE drives.

    If you buy an external enclosure that doesn't include cloning software, the software may be available for free from the manufacturer of the new 320 GB drive (e.g., http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list):

    Hi, William,.

    Persistent desktop notification - it is an image that is displayed on the system tray if your copy of Windows is not genuine. You can interact with icons under this picture, but you will not be able to interact with the image itself or hide it from view. The persistent notification will continue to display until your copy of Windows is genuine.
