  What is NTFS?

  What type of disc to I use to make a backup?

  Hi Heather_604,

  There are two ways you can do: you can convert the external hard drive to NTFS, or you can format the external hard drive to NTFS.

  Personally, I suggest that you format the external hard drive, but this will remove all data from the drive. Temporarily, you can copy what is on the hard drive on your C: drive if you have enough free space (or DVD) - once the external hard drive is formatted NTFS, you can copy everything back.

  Hello

  Disable/remove your Verizon Wireless software or contact Verizon for help with this error. Posts like this occur generally when third-party utilities are used to manage connections and issues must be resolved by the Distributor, because they are often specific to that software.

  Verizon support suggest that you go in the Options Internet/Control Panel and on the Connections tab, check the option "never establish a connection" is selected.

  Hey guys, as you can see the image below... I bought a new Kingston 8 GB DataTraveler® 101 and I want to ReadyBoost, but it says "this device cannot be used for readyboost"... format of the file system is FAT32...
  "ReadyBoost is not activate because the service responsible for ReadyBoost (Sysmain) has been disabled on this computer." An administrator can turn on service Sysmain.' = I can't find Sysmain service. :(

  I have 4 USB and not everything can use readyboost...
  I can't find any solution for this problem... Well, hope that the microsoft team can help. :)

  ReadyBoost is designed for computers with 1 GB or less RAM, who have no possibility to increase...

• Satellite L755 - creator Toshiba Recovery disk cannot be used

  I L755 series PSK2YE for 40 days, and I have a problem with the part recovery disk creator. According to me, it lacks something I simply don't have the TRDCLcher.exe in the menu. I uninstalled probably by mistake or so.

  I still have the recovery disk on D: partition.

  Is there a possible way to get this file back then I do drive recovery?

  Kind regards
  Alec

  Hello

  This means that you can start t the creator of disc recovery or what happened exactly?

  Recovery disc creator can t be reinstalled because it s only preinstalled on your laptop. I think that in this case, your only chance is to leave the drive recovery HARD option and reset Windows to the factory settings. With the box settings, you can use the recovery disk creator.

• Boot Camp Windows Installation 10 - "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. It's the GPT partition style.

  Hello

  I tried to dual boot Windows 10 alongside OS X El Capitan on my iMac 21.5 inch i5 end 2013. I have followed all the instructions in the Boot Camp assistant, restart, choose the yellow 'Windows' drive to boot from, but when I get to the Windows installation, enter the product key and language, and then select the partition (0-4, the partition Disk Partition) it tells me that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »

  So I found this answer: How do I install Windows 8.1 on Haswell MBP

  But then I received the same error.

  Tried this: http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2362

  But fdisk TPG allow me to change anything, as the SIP is enabled.

  Tried to disable SIP via a command line in a terminal in recovery mode, but got an error-bash: command not found csrutil.

  So now I'm stuck on all fronts. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  1. your iMac end 2013 supports the facilities of BIOS/MBR and GPT/EFI.

  2. the legacy BIOS/MBR method requires a hybrid MBR.

  3 EFI/GPT is recommended for your specific model.

  4. you can use the GPT Fdisk steps in your link to make your drive a GPT disk only. It is not enough.

  5. you will need to convert the FAT32 partition space using the following OS X Terminal

  diskutil eraseVolume free disk0s4 FREE

  This will return an error, because free space is not associated with disk slices.

  6. at this point, use the USB installer created by the wizard of BC, boot from it and hold down the Alt/Option key and select Boot EFI (not Windows). Point to the portion of the free space that you see after the + 620 MB Recovery HD. It will separate into a small (128 MB) MSR and the rest as MSD (NTFS).

  7. do not install W7 in Boot EFI, because it has some difficulties.

  8. when Windows is installed, and BC drivers are not installed, run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder.

  9. If csrutil is not found, you are in the recovery of the Internet, because your local Recovery HD is corrupted. The rescue of the failure of the local recovery is restoration of Internet. Your must be on El Capitan. There is no csrutil (or SIP) before El Capitan.

• partition 'Windows cannot delete the active system partition on this disk.

  P.S. I have the "Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium32 - bit Operating System Disk" provided with my computer when I bought it new. Thank you! -Jeff

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  Delete the existing Partitions during the process.

• My xp upgrade window window error 7 "Windows cannot be installed to this disk pahrd space.

  Original title: update my Windows xp to Windows 7.

  Edit: Switched from Windows XP to Windows 7.

  Hi, I'm installing ion window 7 my laptop which is a window XP, when I install on a partition, it says: Windows cannot be installed to this disk pahrd space. Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS. What does that mean?

  Hi Steven,

  Thanks for the details.

  The error message indicates that you need convert a Partition to the NTFS file system. Because Windows XP supports two disk file systems: the table of allocation of file (FAT) file system and the file system NTFS and Windows 7 supports NTFS only if you need to convert the partition to NTFS first to start the installation.

  You can take the help of the article next to use Convert.exe to convert a Partition to the NTFS file system, and then try to upgrade or install Windows 7.

• Error, Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk.

  problem with installing win7 on my toshiba satellite c600 system. during the installation of the OP it says that windows cannot install on the drive. in the detailed information, it says"windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. ensure that the drive controller is enabled in the bios menu. the computer', but there is no such thing of controller in my bios menu. IM using usb to install win7 ultimate. Thank you

  I would check with the computer manufacturer to see if there is an updated BIOS updated.

  Thank you

• Error: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.

  I do a custom installation of Windows 7 64-bit and am boot from upgrade retail DVD. Motherboard is an Intel D975XBX . I have the latest version of the BIOS from Intel. I do not use the integrated RAID SATA Silicon Image controller and hear my SATA to emulate IDE mode in the BIOS. During the startup of Windows 7 DVD, it always tells me that he needs additional drivers, so I point to the latest drivers from Silicon Image Vista 64-bit Intel, and he proceeds to the next screen.

  Then I get the screen that shows me the list of my disks and partitions that asks where I want to install Windows. On every single disc I click on, at the bottom of the dialog box, I see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and the message "what Windows can not be installed on the disk ...". "When I click on the"View details"link next to it, I see a dialog box that says:"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Make sure that the drive controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu. "

  I have four SATA drives, three that I use for several years with Windows XP. The fourth disc is a brand new Western Digital 750 GB that I bought just for Windows 7, so that I can dualboot. I can boot fine in XP, I see all four drives very well and I used the XP Disk Manager to format the new 750 GB drive.

  To repeat: I get the "Windows cannot be installed to this disk" on all readers listed: a vacuum brand new, one that starts well in XP and the other two that I use to store data for the instance of my XP.

  I searched on Microsoft Answers, as well as through the internet for a tip on how to solve this and found nothing.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you
  Bill

  The only possible answer for you is to find Windows 7 compatible drivers for the Sata controller or get a new controller.
