    Well, the first thing NOT to do is clearly format the card.  Yes, all your suggestions (try another computer, try an external card reader and so on) are good, and no one has one clear advantage over the other. I would also add that you might want to try to put the card in the camera and see if the camera recognizes it and the files it contains.

  • Upgrade SSD and allowing the UEFI again after you install Windows 8

    Hi, having a problem w / install Windows 8 on 128 GB SSD using boot inherited (to easily boot from CD/DVD) and then return to UEFI boot sequence. Model is Dell Inspiron 17r SE. I'm absolutely not an expert on the terminology and technology, so I hope that I am using the correct terms. I removed the 1 TB disk that was originally shipped w / to settle more easily. I am able to install correctly to win 8 to the new disk (using a disc Dell win 8). After I reboot and try to come back back in the UEFI, I get a reboot constant return to the menu of the BIOS/legacy/Windows, UEFI, parameters, Diagnostic Boot Manager. Windows 8 will start only if Legacy option or boot first hard drive is selected. I DO NOT have the msata SSD, so my problem is not in the driver problem intel matrix (or whatever it's called).

    I looked at the PDF of installation of windows 8 in the wiki and forums and basically tells you to put the computer in legacy mode and install Windows 8, it does not say you can return to the UEFI boot. The only thing I do not according to who download drivers SATA on USB/add iso and loading them to install. That would be the question? I wouldn't guess.

    I have also tried to hit SHIFT + F10 to install and enter Diskpart, select disk 0, Clean, convert the GPT and exit and then the installation. No change. Am I supposed to completely install Windows 8, go back to install the drive, do the SHIFT + F10 sequence and then install then it would convert my GPT disk? I would assume install Win 8 would like to ask if you had UEFI and law/format accordingly.

    Questions or comments, please let me know. I would like this mode to get started more quickly. It's fast now through the bios boot, but I wish it were through the UEFI.

    When you use the legacy mode to install Windows 8, your setup application assumes that you want to format the SSD as a MBR disk.  That's why your system keeps jumping from UEFI.  Try to remove your current partitions (the disk must be empty to start), change your mode UEFI system configuration option and using the F12 boot menu a time.  Your computer must have an option on this menu to start your DVD/CD drive UEFI mode.  When you reach this point, remember to select the option to format the drive as a GPT disk.  UEFI mode can manage data the MBR and GPT disks, but if you want to start to UEFI, I'm sure the system drive must be a GPT formatted the player so that there the UEFI boot blocks.

    I just installed the latest update to Apple Quicktime (once an update message appears on the screen). When asked if I wanted to re - start the PC now, I clicked on Yes.

    Now the computer does not start. The power led lights up, then the hard drive light blinks for a while, then nothing happens and the PC begins to beep. The beeps are repeated, with 2 short beeps and one long beep. What do the beeps mean?

  • My phone is lock and does not start after you install an update to Windows.

    After you have installed the Windows Vista Home Premium on my laptop, I am unable to start my laptop properly.

    Boots systems and load normally until the display of connection where instead of the login screen, I show the screen updated frozen on "Installing part 3/3 (0%) update." The laptop stays on this screen, with the cursor froze with a loading icon, for about half a minute until the screen shuts off and reboots the system, put the system in a loop, I can't on.

    I tried: turning off on and powered. using advanced boot options to open the system to all types of 'Safe Mode' and leaving the laptop for some time before trying to turn on the system again. All these things have not worked and the system remains in the lock down.

    I wonder if it is a common problem after the latest Vista updates or if it is more specific to my laptop. Whatever it is, any kind of feedback and advice would be most appreciated.

    Thank you.
