  • Any suggestions to clean the hard drive of personal data, so that I can give my laptop without security concerns?

    Any suggestions to clean the hard drive of personal data, so that I can give my laptop without security concerns?

    Richard's suggestion is about as extreme as you can get. Of course, it works very well and the data is not recoverable, but unless you have State secrets then it might be a little overkill. It is the only way to be sure that the data is destroyed, but 100%!

    There are programs such as (Darin of Boot and Nuke) DBAN or KillDisk which can erase the disc at the point where it would take massive resources (money, time and material) to retrieve all the data. Then, a new installation or Windows recovery would be needed. But you don't have to replace the hard drive. It is effective even against the pirates experienced more than 99.9%.

    Hi amcop4591,

    1. How is - that Mount you the drive on the computer?

    2 Di you use any third-party tool to mount the drive?

    I suggest that you remove the external drive using the disk management and check back later if you can change the permissions on the drive.

    If you change the permissions, make changes to the permissions on the drive and then mount the drive.

  • Security of the data to hard drive replaced under warranty

    My laptop is fixed by virtue of the extended due to a hard drive failure warranty. HP has no problem, replace the defective drive. However, I asked that they return the drive failed for me, because it contains personal data and I want to make sure it is properly destroyed. They refuse to send me the original drive, unless I have pay $290 for it. Otherwise they will simply ship the laptop to me not repaired.

    I am very hurt to her comfortable while simply trust that the reader will be well destroyed. I hear too many stories on data personal discs playing in landfills or elsewhere. I don't know that it would happen to HP, but then I don't know it won't, either, and it is not a value of potential risk.

    Does anyone know what HP is doing to "destroy" a hard drive? Alternatively, anyone has any advice on how to convince HP to return my hard drive of origin for no additional cost, as it should be without me having to jump through hoops?

    I can assure you that all personal data is secure when HP parts for refurbished devices used. HP treats thousands of thousands of pieces per day. Unless your failed hard drive is labeled "TOP SECRET" noone will give him a second glance. It merely add to the line, dismantled and the parties go into hp quality tests where they create parts for refurbished devices. The trays are too sensitive for them to be swapped around without a clean room. They are destroyed. probably thrown in a dumpster somewhere. Once that any type of dust gets on the trays the discs are unreadable, even if they have been good before he was saying-assembled. It is not cost-efficiant to slow production just to get the trays on a hard drive in a clean room. It is easier to throw away them and have a machine to replace

  • Request to format the hard drive

    What a good application to format a hard drive that would be sold to someone else?

    I m usually a larger capacity hard drives and hard disk which has been the main drive, even if it is formatted through disk utility change, it offers a way to completely erase the data, so it cannot be retrieved by another user of the doesn´t. So I m just wondering if West another application that would allow me to do exactly that. I m running Mac OS X Lion mountain.

    Thanks for the tips

    Use the option erase secure in disk utility, or throw the files which have data sensitive in the Finder and many empty the trash before you format it.

    Files that are coded can simply be deleted.

  • Thunderbird, re - install can not find the e-mail accounts in the previous drive C:\

    QUESTION; Where should I go from here?

    STORY:
    My C:\ drive (!.) TB) began to balk when after that I got a little more than 800 GB stored on it. My tech told me that the case of the machine would hold two internal HDs. We bought an extra 1 TB HD and it installed Windows essential, all the drivers and my regular backup utility so that we can make an immediate reflection of the drive on an external hard drive.

    Two internal parts carry Windows 7 64 bit, and by changing the Boot Setup, I can boot from either - no errors or red flags.

    I downloaded TB 31.0, installed on the new disc. then copied it to App Data and Application Data including all files in TB from the old HD (2 Windows user accounts) to discrete files on an external drive. From there on, I copied them into the appropriate folders for the two users on the new HD. Thunderbird will otherwise not them, even if I used each solution and tip, I learned with TB on a dozen years. I worked on number of days following, checked several similar articles on the forum and do not see a solution. (And my tech has never wanted to learn something about Tbird; nor has he had to in the past.)

    I just uninstalled Thunderbird 31.0 and deleted content under TB in App Data records (2) and (2) the Application data on the new drive C:\. I first of all confirmed that all previous data is available on the old HD and that the copy on the external drive is complete and accurate - and without any locking Windows security. Local settings on both old-reader/users folders were locked and could never access, but some TB related files were there in the past.

    What should I do? (1) install an older version of Thunderbird and hope I can marry the old files in? or (2) what can suggest you?

    Thanks in advance. EDJ.

    I solved the problem with a drawer 3 rd (not the best) solution. I put all the profiles of previous TB (with all mail folders) side; then configure new TB accounts access to Gmail and Yahoo mail.
    Once I drained all accumulated mail servers, I'll go through the old records (under the old profiles) and carefully, one at a time, move the folders that I need to keep the local folders account. That method appeared in an another related posts; practical, easy and he killed me.

  • Cannot transfer Time Machine backups on the new drive

    I store my backup Time Machine on a Seagate 1.5 TB drive when the drive starts giving errors.  I had files on this computer and was able to transfer all except for 2 who were on unreadable sectors.  Fortunately, one of these files was an older archived version that I could afford to give up and the other was a temporary file in the photo library and since all other items were okay, I think I'm good.

    The problem came when I tried to transfer my Time Machine backup of 800 GB for a new disk.  When I copy and Exact-paste (cmd-opt-shift-v) the Backups.backupdb to the new drive, it gets the extent of November 23, 2015 and then dies because reports of the Console to the system, it gets an IO error when you try to read:

    /Library/SystemMigration/history/migration-245250B6-4F52-4FBB-BD61-546A8C19CCD5/ QuarantineRoot/private/var/db/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_x86_64

    in the relevant backup.  And because it's an IO error it simply abandons the whole process so I have no backup from November 23, included, for now.

    Because the disc is unstable, I wasn't able to use disk utility to make repairs on it.  The disc is what is and I have to deal with the mess, that I do not have the disorder, that I would have.

    I tried to manually place the missing files in the database, but the operating system will not let me.  I want to just copy my backup / OS X stop abandonment and be more like Windows and give me the options to "try again" or "fail" instead of just quitting!  I mean, why should I lose my backup all hierarchy of 23 November and beyond, simply because you cannot read a file, a file that I could simply replace in the backup of the current version or you can just ignore it.

    I tried to copy files on and setting xattr on them to be backup items, but they are wrong.  I tried chflags parameter to make the writable directory, but it does not work.  I can't copy the missing files to fix my archives.  Help.

    Please, don't try to transfer backups of a failed drive. Placing the disk aside until you don't know no longer you need the data, then delete and recycle. Start a new backup set on the new drive. For more security, you always have more than one backup.

  • Can I synchronize the information to this firefox but didn't save anything on the hard drive?

    Hiya,

    I have a laptop at home that I have used for years. Of course, I've saved loads and loads of the saved passwords. I installed Firefox sync here.
    On my computer at work, I've just matched the sync with my account. Its downloaded all of my info with success and I placed a master password on all my saved password just in case.

    My question is if, for increased security, it is a way in which every time I open Firefox, sync will access my information but then, immediately after the closure of Firefox it deletes just all my data on the hard drive of the PC?
    That is, is there a way to not save any info on is the hard drive of the PC but access my details of the model home?

    Thank you
    William

    No, Firefox Sync does not work in this way. Everything that you synchronize your work yo will stay there unless you delete the daily data.

    IMO, a better solution would be to use Portable Firefox on a USB for your work PC. No data will be loaded on your work PC. everything will be on the USB key instead. When you eject the USB stick your Firefox data will be in your possession, nothing remains on the PC where it has been used.

    Firefox Sync works between your PC and the 'portable' installed USB version.

    Hi daniel,.

    could test you the firewall settings, maybe there is a setting that affects the CD ROM drive.

    I had googled around but found nothing that could solve your problem!

    One question: do you use the OEM OS from Toshiba recovery or a full version of XP and it's house or teacher?

  • Out of the blow of sleep when the HARD drive password used on Portege R700

    Hello
    I just got a DLI R700 with Win 7 Pro 64-bit
    I have a very annoying problem because it must be plus 1 minute to accept the password after the resumption of the mode standby. It would be faster out of the hibernation!
    So he wakes up from his sleep in a second, then you can enter the password without any problem but you just can't click on the arrow or press on enter up to what more than one minute. Similarly, it will accept even fingerprints directly at the exit (you get the green check mark) after wake but then expects just over one minute to move in the opening session on the desktop screen.

    Through a process of account, I worked on what was going on...
    Only, it crashes when you have the password on resume from sleep. CV password sleep turn out and he throws back in Office windows in seconds of wake
    This does not happen to resume from hibernation or reboot - scan of fingerprints or password is entered, then goes right into the office in a few seconds
    I started uninstalling software fingerpint, vap, power, toshiba - nothing always security management the same. Then I realized the password HARD drive - which was defined using the security of Toshiba and deleted using the same, has been still enabled in the bios. I have this off and everything works fine. I reinstalled the vap, power management and fingerprint software and everything is always very well, so it was defnitely the HARD drive password.
    Now it's really fake I want to have a RESUME from sleep password and HDD password protection - I have to choose between one or the other, unless I want to wait more than a minute each time he wakes from sleep which is a real pain! So it's clearly a bug in HARD drive password settings, probably in the bios? I have the latest BIOS installed.
    Any ideas on how to get this sort?

    Does anyone else have this problem with be either 32-bit or 64-bit. Or everyone doesn't have this problem, that is to say that they hear HARD drive password AND he wakes with password ok in a few seconds?
    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    It's really hard to say something about what I can only say that I can t noticed this problem on my Windows installation.

    By the way: you are using the version Windows from Toshiba or your own installation of Windows?

    Theoretically, it could be a problem to install Windows or disc itself are you able to test another installation of HARD drive or windows that you can make sure it is not a software problem?
