• Hard drive used with reinstalled Vista asks you username and password

  I replaced my hard drive damaged by a second-hand and reinstalled Vista. At the start he is now asking for the user name and password. I have a password on the original hard disk, and it did not start. I tried my old user name with blank password, but it didn't work. How can this be repaired?

  I installed Windows again using the original installation disc of Vista came with the Dell laptop. Installation worked fine, but ask some 'Other' user name and password to the launch of Windows. Tried to my 'old', but would not work.

  So I erased opportunity newly installed using the DBAN program and reinstalled Windows Vista hard drive. That did the trick. I was able to launch Windows and create a new username and password. Once I got into Windows, I've updated the drivers from the Dell website using my Service tag. Work now - great Amen!

• Help with the Bios Reset Service password

  I am trying to use the Bios password reset Service to power on password and HDD password. The current Bios setting is "enabled, current". Sidebar using Bios tells me that in order to complete the registration to this function to open the application to create a recovery media and "follow the instructions. I'm lost, there is nothing on the password reset Service. I have already created recovery disks and even a rescue Media disk.

  I found that in the application Client Security Solution, on the Advanced tab, there is a "Hardware Setup Password Reset" function, but it is grayed out!

  As this function is available for selection in the Bios I wouldn't be able to use it?

  I use the recovery feature of Windows password to logon to Client Security without any problem.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!!

  BIOS installed: 7LETC5WW (2.25 - 1, 08) Release Date: 08/01/2009

  Version of client security Solution: 8.20.0023.00

  PS. I will not bypass any password, I want to just activate the hardware password recovery feature in case I need it ever.

  UPDATE:
  In case anyone cares, I have finally found a way to activate hardware password reset in my T61. Here is the solution, at least in my case:

  (1) found the file in Program Files-> Lenovo-> Client Security Solution-> HwPwReset.exe

  (2) run the file and follow the instructions

  (3) a "secure" environment has been created in the hard drive and restarting the laptop

  (4) the laptop started in the secure environment where I was asked to establish 3 security questions and answers.

  (5) restarting the laptop and the status of password in BIOS reset changed on registered.

  Now, if I ever forget the market Hardrive words of past or all I have to do is press F12 at startup, select password reset option of going, meet my security questions and voila, passwords are reset or deleted. Very well!

  BTW, I called Lenovo support twice and after talking to 3 "technicians" and a supervisor, they had no clue on how to do it. Go figure!

• After Vista x 64 BIOS update the BIOS Satellite A200 password - 1 KB PSAE6 queries

  Well, I used the update to the BIOS listed in the updated drivers/bios Toshiba Web site on Windows vista x 64 and of course I used the executable x 64.
  Strangely, when I reboot it, he asks a bios password that I never inserted. So I guess that update automatically inserted a password. Now I can't boot from any device so I can not use the laptop.

  What you have to say about this?

  Hello MC

  You founded some answers? Nobody offered here real explanation which can be wrong there. Perhaps have you contacted partner authorized in your country. They are in touch with Toshiba and I'm sure they can help you about this.

  If you find something about this password problem please let us know.

• Tecra A10 - cannot change the settings of the BIOS with supervisor password enabled

  Hello
  I activated a supervisor for 1.50 acpi BIOS password.

  Since then, I am not able to change the settings (for example etc. - the right of the screen of the BIOS boot order does no more).
  I access the bios with pressing ESC on the boot process, then F1 when prompted "" check system, then press [F1] key. Problem is that I don't ask the supervisor password.
  There should be a prompt for the supervisor password, but it's not. So I am not able to connect as a supervisor.
  I know I can manually change the boot sequence by pressing F12 during startup, but this strict solve my problem.

  THX in advance

  Have you tried to update the BIOS? On the Toshiba site, I can find a newer version that you have right now. Check it!

  Before setting a supervisor password load default settings in the BIOS and then you can set the password and try again. Maybe it works.

• HP dv9000 vista laptop won't start. Cannot 'fix '; BIOS Diagnostics: all GOOD except Hard Drive check result: replace the hard drive NEED the data from this hard drive!

  HP dv9000 vista laptop won't start. Attempt to restore repair result several times cannot be made online. BIOS ran diagnostics, everything was good except the hard disk, hd chk result: replace the hard drive. F11 entered to access advanced hp Recovery Manager options tempted towards the top of the entire disk, all files show while listing to back up, attached to my external hard drive current over the back with success.  Plugged external on another laptop, new files since the previous backup are no where.  Should I buy a new external hard drive and repeat the backup via Recovery Manager Advanced Options or should I remove the internal hard disk and insert it into a case and apply in usb on another laptop to view the files.  I know when my computer crashed, I had too many windows/tabs open and too much process and tried to interrupt a process and I confused his little brain and now he has Alzheimer's disease.  I am freaked because I'll lose everything 2012 including some very important documents and about 50 000 pictures HD (yes I learned my lesson backup!) I am in crisis mode because I recently became sick and my photos and documents is vital for my next year of chemotherapy and radiation. Please advice are extremely appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  This backup after pressing F11 is a HP backup option, not a Microsoft option.

  I suggest that you contact HP or ask their Support Forums.

  It's the normal advice I'd give to record data; but we have no idea of the State of your hard drive.

  Saving your files:

  You can remove the hard drive and put it in a hard drive USB enclosure > plug it into another computer > and try to read and copy your data in this way.

  Or, you can download Knoppix > make a bootdisk to > start your system with it (IF your material is all work) > and copy your data from the hard drive like that.

• Satellite 1800-712 does not start with the new HARD drive

  Hello world.

  I am currently trying to install a new HARD drive in my notebook of 1800-712.
  I'm having a few trubbles as my Satellite won't start with my new HARD drive.

  I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version.
  The new HARD drive is a 40 GB Samsung.

  Any suggestions on what I need to do to make it all works?

  THX, Philippe

  Hello

  This device was shipped with 20 GB HARD drive.
  You again is 40 GB.
  I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive because of the size.

• SMART short self-test - on the second hard drive

  HP Pavilion Elite e9270t - 3 yrs old, Win7.

  Became the error SMART self-test short the original drive so I installed a replacement and transferred files.

  I get the same error on the second h/d. I have my doubts that the second disk is having the exact same error and wonder if the s/w test is actually the problem.

  It could very well be the connectors that gives you the question instead of the HARD drive itself. I would run the HARD drive test in BIOS instead of the short test.

  Try this:

  1. Plug the AC adapter into the computer if it is not already connected.
  2. Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
  3. Press the power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS Setup menu.
  4. Use the right arrow or left arrow keys to navigate the menu selection to find the Auto test primary hard drive option. Depending on your BIOS, it is under diagnoses or tools.
  5. Select self-test primary hard drive, and then press the Enter key to start the test.

  Figure 1: Example of a primary hard disk self test screen

  
  

  The hard drive self test performs a Quick Test , followed by a complete Test. During each test, the window displays a status bar and a scheduled for completion

  Let me know the results of this test.

• Cannot set the password for hard drive on the W530 with Intel SSD 520

  Hello

  I have a w530 with an Intel SSD 520 in primary hard drive Bay. Whenever I try to set a password for the primary hard drive, it doesn't stick. If I chose master + user or simply user, I will enter the password, it will take the passwords without producing an error and then just dump back me to the screen of passwords while leaving the disabled hard drive password.

  BIOS is on the latest version for the w530 and SSD, the machine seems fairly normally operate differently.

  Does anyone have ideas how I can activate the password? Thank you!

  Hi, ctenorman

  I did some research and came across this thread of Intel. There are a few people in the thread who were able to set the password on this particular drive. It seems that changing the BIOS "SATA" compatibility mode, set the password, restart, and then change it to "AHCI" worked for some, but not all customers with this player.

  Good luck and let me know how it goes

• Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6: need a new hard drive for the dv6-1230us

  My question is about the HP Pavilion Entertainment dv6-1230us PC. Recently, it was abandoned, and since then it has been giving me the following message if poster every time it starts.

  Not found boot device
  
  Please install an operating system on your hard drive.
  
  Hard Drisk (3F0)
  
  F2 System Diagnostics
  
  "For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup"
  
  I know it's important to run the hard drive test, but when I run the diagnostics of the system for the Test drive, it says:
  "HDD test failed.
  There is no hard drive.

  I was also on the proposed site and even after "reset my BIOS to default", it recommends running the hard drive test, which does not simply because it has not really helped me the "there is no hard drive. There was a YouTube video that I came across thus suggested pulling the hard drive and diconnecting and reconnect to correct the error in this case that the son is detached, but that no longer works.

  SO, I don't know if there is anything more that I can do, I guess that the hard drive is super dead.

  It comes with a Seagate ATA hard drive. I was wondering if I could replace it with a SATA hard drive or should it be an ATA? (Even has the material capacity to support a SATA drive?)

  Also, it is even useful to replace the hard drive? Should I get a new laptop instead? This laptop is used mainly for just browsing online and checking emails.

  Any help is appreciated, thanks.

  Yes, the hard drive is so dead, that he not yet register as a hard drive. The dv6-1000 series certainly uses SATA, not ATA drives so I'm not sure of what you see. You can replace it with any drive SATA 2.5 inch width 9.5 mm thick.

  Watch this video between: 53 and: 59 and see that it's a SATA drive. If yours is different, so you have confused with your model.

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=QQx7PlIXFuE

  Hard disks are a small fraction of the cost of a laptop and if your what it takes to, I would say that to replace the hard drive rather than buy a new one.

  It is an excellent drive at a great price:

• My hard drive crashed and I need to reinstall XP PRO but my computer does not start on the CD

  I went into the BIOS and changed to start from the windows xp pro disk but no matter if I put in the pro or the original disk, I get 'disk read error.  CTRL Alt Del to restart.  BIOS can see how much space is left on the hard drive, so it's there, and BIOS knows I want to boot from the installation disc, but it doesn't.  What I am doing wrong?

  Hi Jade4142.Did try you go to BIOS and set it to the default settings and put the disc in, and then restart. There are many variables to a disc is loading. It could be the Platinum cd/dvd is defective, the disc is dirty, scratched or any black disc market. It you load on the HARD drive that crashed? If so, it could be that the HARD drive is infected? If this is a new HARD disk, you must leave the disconnected HARD drive, start the computer that lights up and looking for a hard drive. In this way the motherboard works independent of the HARD drive. The motherboard doesn't have a HARD drive to boot. Once you start without a HARD disk he won't say you no HARD drive or o/s found. Stop it. Connect the HARD drive for the sake of things a NEW HARD drive. Then start the unit go to BIOS and set to boot from the cd/dvd and then save and reboot. If the disc is genuine, and it's a new HARD drive, it should load without problems. He must ensure that the cd/dvd is above the machine to choose this path.click top and press the sign on your keyboard + and you'll see it move to the top of the list. If she is not at the top is not first in line to start. Just trying to help.
