• I want to save my email and then reinstall it after that I have to wipe the hard drive.

  I'll update the hard drive wiping and reloading the software I want, get rid of the junk that I have collected over the years. I backed up my data, photos and music from My Documents, etc. but I can't figure out how I can save my email so that when I reinstall Thunderbird I can just empty files saved in the program and I'm back in business.

• How to clean the hard drive on a Macbook.

  Hi there Apple community support.

  I am trying to clean my internal hard drive. Lately my Macbook has been telling me that my startup disk is almost full, so I was passing by and clean all my files on the hard drive. Also, when I looked at the "about this mac" window to see what was on the hard drive, he told me there were about 50 GB of apps and about 50 GB of movies, this seemed a bit strange that I have not a lot of other apps on my Macbook apart from those he came with, and I also deleted a large number of films I've had. So basically I don't see why my boot drive is full after I deleted a lot of things out of it.

  Thank you

• 1297cb HP P7: lack of response from the hard drive or windows 7 to my monitor help

  Greetings.  I have a HP P7 1297cb, all original material except the memory and hard drive.

  Original OS at home, is now Pro.
  I thought that my hard drive has expired and bought a new WD 2 TB black.
  And I don't have the other HDD cause I already threw out.
  
  So, here I am.   I installed the WD Black again and nothing.  Monitor powers and that's it.
  I get a hard drive light to everything first, about 5 to 10 seconds and off.  Touch HD and feels light low race.
  All fans and fees lights.  Power light on.
  
  No NumLock or number lock lights.  Œuvres and key/monitor / mouse, as I am with them now.
  
  Shot four sticks of 2 GB memory and get the beep.  One at a time plugged in no beeps and back in.
  You use a Windows 7 Pro disk rebuild for installation.  When the computer starts, I tried F10, F12 and nothing.
  I even pulled the mobo battery for a few seconds.
  I disconnected the power supply cord (pc) and held in the power button for about 30 seconds.
  I even turned on with the installation disc in and waited (until at least 20 minutes) to see if the screen would change nothing.
  I am willing to check the cpu, which remains the only thing to check, I'm guessing that about it.
  I get no beep or beeps when the pc starts.
  
  So, I guess also, that my problem was not the hard drive in the first place. ???
  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I don't know what a "Windows 7 Pro Rebuild disk'- so I don't know if it's any bootable media.

  Unless you changed the default device sequence in the start section of the configuration of the BIOS, it will look at the HDD FIRST and since it is empty, the PC will simply sit there - nothing to do.

  So, you must get to a boot device selection screen to boot from the DVD of Win7.

  The typical ways of doing are to press F9 or F12 - one of them will be implemented a unique boot device selection menu.  Then, you select the DVD drive and the PC should then restart.

  It can display a line of text at the top of the screen, something like «press any key to boot from...» "If Yes, press the space bar.

  If the DVD is good, the PC will then start on the initial screen for the installation of Windows.

  Good luck

• Satellite U205-S5002: cannot retrieve the Express Media Player after upgrading the HARD drive

  So I bought just a new Toshiba Satellite U205-S5002 I love it. One of the great features that interest me was the Express Media Player feature.

  My first step was to upgrade the hard disk and 160 GB and 2 GB ram.
  I placed the disk and ram in my old laptop and sold it.

  Before that I did, I made a copy ghosts and ghost of the hard drive to the new drive. Well come to find out...

  Toshiba is not provided with this software preinstalled, so I followed the instructions to burn my recovery disk Express Media Player and the boot on the new disk.
  So this is where the saga begins...

  After 15-20 seconds, I get a soothing blue screen (NOT of blue BSOD you mind) who says:

  /!\
  An error occurred during the recovery of "Express Media Player".
  -------------------------------------------------------
  Please pick up the image again from the beginning.
  Press any key to exit.

  It is typed exactly as it is on the screen. So, I see some other forums saying: you must have the free space of the disk so I resize the partition that allows 200 MB of space. Always the same... then try 2 GB even... then the 50 GB, same problem...

  OK, so obviously not a question of space. I read while I might need to erase the drive... so I delete the partition, this same error... then I run the recovery disk and tell him to wipe the drive, wait 1 1/2 hour, it ends. No dice! So I decide... ok... Well lets try another disk... I have restored my ghost image... and burned the image again... same question... so I decide to the recovery disk and I'll try to reinstall windows in the factory and make a record...

  Well, it does not work as well as you think... the image is incomplete... windows works fine... but the c:\Toshiba\ExpressMediaPlayer folder is empty!

  I'm happy that I have ghosts my original directory. But I decide allows to Express Media Player a shot more now that I have restored to factory... always the same error... I then decide a trial more... I'll erase drive 1.5 hours, I'll restore from toshiba dvd provided but leaving plenty of space at the end 2 GB (I have a lot about people who tell you to base just around 200 MB)

  5 hours later... moment of truth... Well Yes you guessed it... I don't know anything else to try... I have a bad image?
  You need one that I can download what has worked for them for sure? Or have - I have completely found myself by replacing the HDD with after market and which is originally a kind of compatibility issue?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  It s a great story!
  I put t know how to start so maybe first some info on the Express media player.

  As you said, and has already proposed the Express media player has been preinstalled on the second partition.
  If you want to install this media Express on the HARD disk drive, 150-200 MB of free space must be available. This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated.
  To get these free space on the HARD disk, 3 third-party products should be used as for example the Partitions Magic 8!

  I'm not going to write a story how to recover the Express media player because Toshiba has already created useful documents, which described complete installation!
  I found these documents in the knowledge base of computer Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=TIC2

• How to remove the HARD drive password?

  Password, turn on your drive. I know, but cannot remove the password.
  How can I remove HDD password?

  I'm here with the solution...

  1. the HARD drive password can be removed by using security help.

  2 using the BIOS CONFIGURATION go to the HARD drive password section which should appear as follows:
  HARD drive password
  HARD = built-in HARD disk drive
  HARD drive password mode = USER only
  Registered = user password

  3 tab in the "User password" field and just enter the old password and then a new twice (once to check) as you normally would. If you don't want a password, simply press "enter" twice

  * Or try this: *.

  Enter the BIOS
  arrow to the "Registered" field HARD drive password
  Press
  Enter the existing password and then
  Enter the new password (or leave it empty if you n t want one no matter what password), then
  Meet confirm retype the new password (or leave blank (see above) then)

  That's all...

• P7-1490 Pavilion saying that the hard drive needs to be repaired or replaced

  Could Netflix streaming on the computer and look at the poster on the monitor have shortened the life expectancy of the hard drive at all?  Otherwise, I do not use the computer that much, and I'm surprised that the drive lasted only 1 1/3 years.  What part of a computer using streaming more?  The processor, hard drive, both?

  No, I sincerely doubt that the photos could cause such a problem.

  If the drive is empty, do a full format (not quick format) to make it clean.

  Just to be sure, it will be useful if you could do a bad sector scan.

• Envy 15-j059nr: Envy 15-j059nr would not start Windows after update to win10 now the hard drive is missing

  This system worked before Windows 8.1 it has been upgraded to Windows 10 last year. It's my boyfriends computer and last night it kept getting blue screen dreaded with errors on his hard drive. He kept ignoring. Then, his computer's battery died and when he started upward, he could get a blue screen and act as if it would repair itself and would just start all over again. He was going in a loop. He did not know what he was doing, but searched on the Internet and ended up messing around any more.

  Its installation was 850 GB HD 3 partitions, it was set up as a Raid was one the main C drive, one was the restore disc and the other hides. He changed the disk. He changed a few things in bios too, but I don't know exactly what.

  The problelm I have right now, is that when that I boot without the USB bootable media, I created, I'm stuck at a screen that says there is no startup disk and no installed operating system and press F2 to run Diagnostics. When I run the diagnostics, just fine, no errors.

  When I try to recover, repair, reimage or anything other that to reinstall, it goes back to the screen I mentioned above which does not allow me to do anything about this either, with the exception of past at the command prompt, which is X and not C. I did a dir/w and only seen the windows files are here , but under the users directory, documents and images are empty, so don't know if it's even watch what I think it is.

  When I want to install Windows 10, everything goes smooth and then bam, he wants that pilots. I can't find the drivers for this laptop who don't have the .exe and require installation. This notebook is not a CD/DVD player on it. I don't mind doing a reformat and start all over, if I could recover his pictures on his hard drive. They are his grandfather.

  Help, please!

  Thank you in advance!

  You are the very welcome.

  Unfortunately, I woudn't be able to help you with that.

  I'm afraid that the PC is now a useless paperweight because of the BIOS update has failed.  There is usually no recourse other than to replace the motherboard.

  If all goes well, you were able to recover the files before that happened, and if not, get a SATA cable adapter USB and read the hard drive on another PC.

• Removal of the HARD drive

  I'm pretty saavy with material and I create systems and have recently started to fix some laptops, but my DV9700t HP are a bit difficult (well, come to think, it's probably just me; you know, the 40-watt bulb in the box of 100 watt).  Anyway, here's the jist of the matter.  When I custom ordered this beast, I had HP put in Hitachi two 120 GB hard drives, 7200 RPM SATA.  My main drive fills up very quickly so I bought a new Hitachi 320 GB drive, 7200 RPM SATA to replace my second 120 which is practically empty (I'll put this one in my front door).  Anyway, I can't understand how the second 120 GB HARD disk frees itself from its Bay.  There are no screws in cradle Bay, only the four screws holding the HARD drive in the frame, and they are on the side of the chassis.  Someone besides the HP repair people has information or instructions on how to get this drive from the Bay.  I really hope that this isn't a matter of removing all the merits of the case, because it would just be a "what we thought"when we designed this baby"kind of thing...

  Thanks Hüffer!  Ever have the feeling that sometimes you have to be smarter than the object you try hard?  Thanks for the help.  It has already changed and put it back together.  Looks great.  I appreciate really help him.

• Swapped the HARD drive of the Pavilion G6 2264sa with a Pavilion G6 1331sa HARD drive / brightness not wking... !!

  Hello

  Hope everyone is well and wonder if anyone can help me. My problem is my daughter's laptop, she is in the middle of the student to College and all of his work is on his laptop which is a:

  HP Pavilion G61331sa/1.6 GHZ AMD Quad-Core A8 - 3520M APU with Dual Radeon 6620 graphics card + 7450 M / 6 GB memory / dedicated graphics video AMD Radeon HD 6620 + 7450 M bi - GPU (1 GB of DDR3 memory) / 750 GB SATA (5400 RPM) HARD drive / running Windows 7.

  Unfortunately, my son accidentally spilled juice on the laptop. I quickly took all the preventive measures, turn off the power / battery disassembly / HDD and upsets the laptop. I also left in the closet of broadcast for a few days to dry out, then tried again. It lights up and the power light stays on and the fan works but the caps lock button warning light flashing and the screen remains empty, even when I try to use an external monitor via HDMI connections again the external screen is blank. It seems that most of the spill was on the left side of the keyboard because the keys are very sticky this side. I talked to HP to my problem that the laptop is still under warranty, however as we know that it does not cover accidents, and no, we don't have the coverage of the accident. My daughter is in the middle of exams a solution was needed pronto. It was suggested by HP techy guy to buy the modern equivalent with the same HARD drive and just change the HARD drive and update all the drivers.

  I bought a HP Pavilion G6 2264sa / Intel® Core™ i3 - 2370M / 4GB memory / 750 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive / graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 (up to 1.65 GB) running windows 8 (64-bit).

  I changed the HARD disk as proposed and updated all the drivers. There was a slight problem starting up but just had to go into the BIOS at startup (F1 key) Startup Configuration / settings and do know the Boot from the HDD instead of CD ROM, etc.. The HP Pavilion G6 2264sa started with the G6 1331sa HARD drive and works very well. My daughter doesn't have to worry about spending time to find away around a new laptop and windows 8. everything is just where she knows that it is.

  The only problem I have is the brightness (f2 and f3) doesn't seem to work and the screen is very bright degree to cause a headache. I have uninstalled and installed the graphics drivers but still no control over brightness...!

  Any ideas where I have gone wrong?

  Your suggestions and ideas will be very well received and appreciated.

  Thanks in advance...

  This computer does not display any right screen?

  And caps lock flahs once in 4 seconds?

  If it has been: is failled into a CPU and they want also to repair or change your motherboard.

  In any case, go to a place and make planning expenditures compared with the price of your laptop.

  Other way, the disk its ok so your girls its safe.

  You are very wellcome.

  If the HP Forum do not delete my account, I will have more pleasure and response.

• the hard drive of my computer is purchased full.i a drive.how external hard change outside the primary disk so I can download music easily?

  the hard drive of my computer is purchased full.i a drive.how external hard change outside the primary disk so I can download music easily.right now my external backup just my computer that isn't doing me good

  original title: external hard drives

  You don't want to change your external drive to your main drive.

  You can move your music files on the external drive - or you can move other data on the disk to make room for your music on the internal drive.

  What applications do you use to play music?

  As described in the first link below, you can move your full "My Documents" folder on the external drive.  Alternatively, you can simply move your music files.  If such an arrangement would give you a satisfactory performance, however, depends on how your external drive is connected (for example, USB 1.1, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, eSATA, Firewire, network) and other hardware features of your computer.

  Not all of the following conditions will be applied to you, but some of the tips can be useful.

  There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a bigger internal hard drive.   You can move the data to your external drive, but if it's the data that you use frequently, slower access times may annoy you.  Therefore, I do not recommend that you move your My Documents folder in its entirety on the external drive, but you can certainly do this by following the related instructions.

  • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
  • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
  • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
  • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
  • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)
  • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)
  • See also:

  " How to recover disk space on Windows Server 2008 and Windows XP computers? ."

  " Forty ways to free disk space ."

  But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

  In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files you must move it to your external drive.  If you want to move an application, you will need to uninstall and then reinstall it specifying your external drive as the installation location.  You can not simply move the files.

• Can't reformat the hard drive

  Hello I do not know much about computers.  I'm trying to find a way to reformat the hard drive on my son computer for a clean installation of XP Pro.  Initially, XP Pro SP1 has been installed on my IBM Thinkpad.  I have automatic updates must occur on the computer so over time, the service pack has been upgraded to SP3.  The corruption of the computer does not restore system, internet access and several programs running on the device.  When I try to format the hard disk with my XP Pro SP1 disk fails because the system is currently running SP3.  I tried to uninstall SP3, but the system does not.
