• My pc under Win 8.1. The system was asked to scan the hard drive (c). Once this is completed all the files in the sent folder went. Help!

  Run on a Dell PC (Win 8.1) for the last year or two. So far have had no problems with Thunderbird (latest version) until today (04/04/2015). For some unknown reason, my PC "action center" has suggested I should scan the 'C' drive for potential problems. It is worth noting that I was not aware of any problem of system before this message and I have no idea what were potential problems. Then, like a rooky with computers, I followed the rules and scanned the drive as suggested.

  The analysis took about 20 minutes to complete, followed by a normal startup. Everything was fine, except when I open Thunderbird Email, I observed that all messages/files (an estimated 1000) in the sent folder had been removed. All other Email TB cases appear normal and I can send new Emails and receive same OK.

  A test Email has worked with the file/message sent goes in the sent folder.

  Anyway, is allowing to recover the loss of files/messages sent and why the sweep of the 'C' drive would create this problem?

  Please provide the procedures to recover even at your earliest.

  Kind regards

  You will need to ask Microsoft make their software, is not something that one can guess at, a local technician could perhaps look at and advise you. But what we suggest here is guess and guess.

• Where can I get the Toshiba Tecra A9 for tools after formatting the HARD drive?

  Hello.
  I bought a laptop Tecra A9 with Vista Business. I would format because there are a lot of tools and programs on it the notebook already that I didn't need, and it's very slow.

  There is a "hidden partition", but if I use it to recover it installs all tools and software.
  Fortunately, there was a DVD of Vista Business in the area.
  So I would use that one.

  Now my question: some of the tools (Toshiba HDD protection, Fingerprint-Software) seem useful and I would like to reinstall as soon as he runs again. Where can I download them? I only found the drivers on the Toshiba site.

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  > Fortunately, there was a DVD of Vista Business in the area. So I would use that one.

  It's very strange because I know Toshiba laptops are supplied only with the Toshiba Recovery CD and not an original CD of Microsoft Vista.
  If you want to use this recovery CD, you will get the same OS preinstalled with all the drivers and tools such as at the beginning.

  In my opinion, you should remove all simply not necessary tools and operating system utilities and don t install the OS again!
  For registry cleaning, I recommend using the freeware program called CCleaner!

  Good bye

• Failure to upgrade the hard drive T30 - blinking cursor - will not progress

  I have trouble to upgrade the hard drive on my Thinkpad T30.

  I'm trying to upgrade a 40 GB hard drive to a hard drive of 250 GB.  (New drive is the EVE of Western Digital WD Scorpio 2500 b)

  I used the Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to clone the drive.  Unfortunately, when I insert the new drive in the computer, booting stops and is at the level of the blinking cursor.

  I used the tools of Lenovo's PC to test everything.

  I have used Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to check the hard drive.

  I've updated my Bios and embedded controller program.

  When I start the computer and press F1 to access the Bios, the sign more shows next to the hard drive.  I understand that this means that the Bios recognizes the hard drive.

  I went into Setup to choose the hard drive as the boot device, but the computer still hangs at the level of the blinking cursor.

  When the new hard drive is connected to the computer by usb in an external case, it shows that the contents of the old drive is copied to the new drive.

  What should I do now to solve this problem and get the computer to boot from the new drive?

  A program, often recommended by the ortegeluis is Easeaus Disk Copy freeware that can help you.

  ?? and install windows 7

  I have a compaq presario V6000

  Just use the W7 installation disc to clean the disc. I always recommend what he got rid if Vista entirely. In this way there is no chance of getting errors because you're from "unallocated space" as if you put in a new hard drive of bran. Do the usual and create recovery disks in case you go back to Vista and of course to back up all your personal stuff to be reinstalled later.

  There is also a file on drive "C" called SwSetup which you must save it. Here are your drivers for Vista which will work in W7 and most importantly is the software that will not have the W7 installation disc, such as Microsoft Works, and I'm guessing that Cyberlink DVD suite. It is a very useful file.

  Once, you save all the things I said, then go for the clean installation. You will have less problems in the end.

  Here's a good tutorial on how to do a clean install of Cheryl. There a screen shot too.

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/OperatingSystems/SS/Windows-7-clean-install-part-1.htm

  After installation, the first driver you want to load is your video card driver.

  I took a quick glance and there is no drivers for your model in W7, but like I said your Vista drivers should work fine.

  If this does not work you can always roll back to Vista with your recovery of the disc that I asked you to do.

  Just to answer your question, I wouldn't wipe drive. In fact, it is not clean the disk. Filled it with a bunch of useless information so no one can retrieve what was already on the disk before. Wipe drive is used if you ever decide to take your computer to the recycling depot.

  Who does not resemble a very stable place to put a new OS if you use Wipe drive.

• All the tools to monitor the temperature of the HARD drive?

  Someone knows any tools to monitor the temperature of the HARD drive? which can be set all of a specific level.  If the temperature is over 50 degrees, it will give any warning.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

  I'm not sure about the alerts, but I remember using SpeedFan , a long time ago to monitor temperatures.

• When I run Firefox using Yahoo as homepage the hard drive running constantly. What is going on?

  The hard drive is acting like I run a virus scan or software is responsible. It does not stop. I ran scans - nothing works. If I run Google or IE it happens.

  You remember disabling all willing associate JavaScript using the extension of QuickJS? If so, you can see the question if their re-allowing help with Yahoo.

  I notice you have some Yahoo related plugins. From 33 Firefox, less common plugins have been passed to "Ask to activate" so sites need your permission to use them. This can be confusing to Yahoo.

  To test this theory, you can try to move these plugins on one of the other options:

     Always Activate - all sites can use the plugin without specific permission
     Never Activate - no sites can use the plugin (unless you give them permission through the Permissions page of the Page Info dialog while viewing the site)
  

  To make this change to open the page modules using either:

     Ctrl+Shift+a
     "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
  

  In the left column, click on Plugins. I suggest trying to "never activate" first. During the visit of Yahoo mail once again to test, you can use Ctrl + Shift + r to reload the fresh site from the server (without using cached files

• Satellite L300D - TEMPRO said that I have no space on the HARD drive

  Hello

  I'm new to the site... I got a L300D for three months and no problem but in the last two weeks, I had TEMPRO warns my readers have free space that disappears quickly.

  In fact at this moment I have a total of * 800Mbs * when in fact I more than * 90Gbs * and I even used a shedder file to clean up more space.
  Is there a way to get TEMPRO on track or is this a normal problem, unsolveable.

  Hey Buddy

  TEMPRO is a tool that scans the entire HARD drive
  I guess you have different partitions on the HARD drive and I guess Tempro tells you that the free space among available partitions_ _on breaks down

  Well, I'm not quite sure what partition is a sense but perhaps hidden partition Vista first, s (WinRE).
  You should know that Vista uses a hidden backup files partition, this partition can be used if something goes wrong with the operating system

  I think Tempro means that partition

• Wizard BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

  How is it assistant BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

  This has two questions:

  1 capacity of SSDS faster for Fusion drive has been reduced. Therefore less effective for the reader of the merger. For example if I need to create a partition of 80G for my windows bootcamp partition, only 48 G will be left in the drive of the merger.

  2. ability of the bootcamp windows partition becomes very limited, cannot be greater than 120 G.

  3. even when I try to fuse out of the drive of fusion in the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD disk, and then run the BootCamp assistant to create the bootcamp partition start from scratch to reinstall El Capitan only on the HARD drive (without drive Fusion), it won't let me do anything, it just shows an error that says something like "a person has created additional partitions on this drive please select. another disc. But there is nothing else to choose.

  Before my (5 K, 27 inches, end of 2014 retina) to El Capitan Yosemite, I was able to use the previous version of the wizard BootCamp 5.x to create the partition, bootcamp on the drive of the merger. And it will be divided in the fuser unit in two and insert the Bootcamp partition (with the size I chose, which can go up to 1 TB) between two partitions of MAC OSX.

  The disk partitions resulting from it, will be the partition MAC OS x on the SSD, the partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #1, partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #3.

  Then there is the BootCamp partition on the HARD drive partition #2.

  Is there a way to get what I need?

  That is what has been described in this notice of two canoes?

  Installation of Windows on a Boot Camp partition on a drive of TB Fusion 3

  n-on-a-3-TB-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/Winclone/support/installing-Windows-on-a-Boot-Camp-partitio

  Thank you.

  After having worked on those weeks, I realized that I need very painfully (by first going back to Yosemite and bootcamp 5 to escape all the limitations of El Capitan and BootCamp 6) I want to share here. Someone at - it other smarter solutions welcome.

  Note these steps and mentioned drivers only work for my version of iMAC, retina 5K late 2014. If you have other material, please search on the web to see which driver will work first. And all of these steps are destructive and assumed that you first take backup. It is only shared for interest only. Readers will have to bear your own risk.

  A. take backup

  1. take a backup completes my iMac Fusion Drive using Time Machine. Then restart with a Yosemite USB installation and select Terminal from the menu on the top bar.

  B. fuse out of the merger in two physical disks drive: SSD + HDD

  1. in the terminal, type the commands in show what the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the disc fusion)

  Cs diskutil list

  2. in the terminal, type commands for the fuse of the fuser unit and separate them to an SSD and a HARD drive.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the drive of the merger. There are many articles in this community on how this could be done,

  diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

  CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

  This should finish within 30 minutes. If you have taken more time, this means that your reader of fusion has been altered somehow.

  I hit this issue too.  To use this command to remove the fusion drive hung up, and I need to do the hard to scramble a few sections of data in the hard disk partition table using the controls to tell the OSX this hard drive is a new without partitions:

  Cat >/dev/random /dev/disk0 (where/dev/disk0 is the SSD)

  and repeat for disk1/dev/disk1 which is the HARD drive in my case).

  This command will not return anything, but expect to press Ctrl-Z to end after 1 minute.

  2 create independent partitions (non-fusionend) for the installation of OSX.

  Borne Terminal output, and select disk utility, in disk utility, select the drive to HARD disk (and not on the partition), you will see the error message and you will be asked if you want to fix the fuser unit, click on ignore. Then wipe the HARD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"HARD drive".

  3. Repeat step 2, and then erase the SSD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"SSD ".

  C. install on the HARD disk as drive didier autonomous not fusion.

  1. go to Yosemite install screen and proceed with the installation of a clean copy of Yosemite to the iMAC. then connect you.

  D. use BootCamp Yosemite f5 to install windows.

  1. launch Yosemite bootcamp.

  2. check the two checkboxes for creating the USB drive to install windows 7 or a later version, and to download the windows supports the Apple software.  Do not click on the last box to install or remove windows pie creating real bootcamp partition again.

  3. it may take several hours to complete this function of your internet b/w and also performance of your USB drive.

  4. If you install Windows 7 (like me), then the downloaded drivers will not work for you, this will cause the issue of the device driver appleDSS.sys does not like this driver and others are too recent for windows 7 to use.  Also, your keyboard and mouse may not work even if you try to plug in a USB external keyboard or a mouse. You need to replace the drivers downloaded by others (the Boot Camp 5.1.5769 drivers that I find in this link: Software Support of Boot Camp 5.1.5769.) (Note: this driver is material specific only works for my iMAC model).  Once you have downloaded it, copy the two files in the root directory of the USB installation to replace the original ones. It's specific and material available for download somewhere on the Apple Site.

  -From the Finder, delete the $WinPE$ and the Boot Camp of the FLASH PLAYER files.

  -Expand the old drivers for Boot Camp 5.1.5769 (two records and another file) on your desktop.

  -Copy the $WinPE$ and records of Boot Camp in the FLASH PLAYER.

  5. open Boot Camp Assistant again and only select the third option, install Windows 7.

  It will show you the screen to select what installation disk, select HARD drive.

  Then drag the slide bar to select the size of the Bootcamp partition for windows you want, knowing that there is a restriction for windows installed using training camp on a MAC that the last byte of the BootCamp partition must reside in the first byte of the 2.2 T of each physical hard drive.

  For my case, I need only 500G for bootcamp and leaving behind 1.7 to for my MAC OSX partition immediately after the bootcamp partition and an another 0.8 T MAC OSX partition after him. 1.7 TB and the partition of MAC OS x 0.8 TB well exploited in the meantime bootcamp partition, will be merged into a fusion drive by Bootcamp. Thus, you will end up with total 2.5 TB of disk space in a logical drive - fuser.

  Go to this link for more details on this subject: n-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support/installing-windows-on-a-boot-camp-partitio

  6. continue the process to partition the hard drive, then it will restart automatically in windows installation mode, install windows.

  7. once the installation is complete, check that windows is functioning correctly.

  E. Si you want to upgrade to windows 10 Windows 7.

  1 if you plan to upgrade to windows 10, you'll find that the windows IE v.8 7 is no longer works and had many problems to load the page.  Then when you try to download the latest version of Internet Explorer, you get an error that you need at least windows 7 SP1 to support the last IE.  Life is too complicated, just download the google Chrome browser, then search for download windows 10 and then run the Microsoft valuation tool to upgrade.

  2 but before upgrade you, unplug all your MAC USB drives, otherwise, you will find that, after having spent an hour downloading the windows 10 software, the upgrade will fail with the error "/ dynamicupdate...» ». It is an inexplicable mistake that no one seems to understand why. There are articles with proven results that the removal of all USB drives before running the windows 10 upgrade tool will correct this problem.

  F. reinstall OSX El Capitan

  Once your target windows system (if windows 7, windows 8 or windows 10) works very well.  You can continue to create again your Fusion drive and reinstall OSX El Capitan.

  1. Insert the install of OSX Yosemite rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

  2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

  3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

  4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

  5. in the terminal, type the command 'diskutil list cs' and you should see nothing to prove that there are no existing fusion drive yet.

  6 type the 'diskutil list' command to list all disks and partitions.

  The SSD has two partitions, the/dev/disk0s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk0s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD around 121 G.

  The HARD drive has two partitions, the/dev/disk1s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk1s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD.

  G. delete the logical storage of nucleus on the HARD disk drive and it refuses with the DSS to form a merger with faster performance disc

  1. Insert the install of OSX El Capitan rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

  2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

  3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

  4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

  5. in the terminal, type orders for (to show what are the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the logical drive). You should see the logical volume to basic storage group created using two partitions on the hard drive, 1.7 TB and TB 0.8 created when we run the Yosemite Bootcamp to install windows.

  Cs diskutil list

  6. in the terminal, type commands to delete logical drives from basic storage.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the logical drive.

  diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

  CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

  7. tap "diskutil list" command lists all the resulting partitions. You should see that the HARD drive has the following partitions.

  / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0

  1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

  2: Apple_HFS 1.7 Untitled TB disk1s2

  3: disk1s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

  4: Microsoft database BOOTCAMP 503.0 GB disk1s4

  5: Apple_HFS 801,4 Untitled GB disk1s5

  8 type the following commands to create the logical volumes group, named "myLVG" (or the name) of fuser using the usable for OSX to the SSD and HDD partitions.

  diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2 disk1s5

  Note: Mark the group id of logical volume shown in the results.

  In my case, I want to book the last partition as standalone partition disk1s5 no-fusionend, so I can use it to raise the back, or format it in FAT32 to allow the exchange of data between the MAC and boot camp.

  So, I do not understand this last partition in the drive of the merger. in my case, the command that I used is: diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2

  9 create logical volumes named "Macintosh HD" (or you call it) on the logical volume group we just created for the reader of the merger.

  diskutil createvolume logical volume group ID jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%

  10 command "diskutil cs type list" to check the resulting fusion drive created.

• Satellite Pro P300 - remove the HARD drive to make a backup?

  My P300 went to my local store to repair for a network card problem. I thought it was just a software problem or driver, so I wasn't worried that my machine is still under warranty. After investigation, they stated that they could not resolve the issue, so would be to reformat and reinstall the OS, they thought they should solve the problem.

  To my horror, I found that they had broken the seals of guarantee and open to the top of the machine. They claimed the only way to save the P300 before reformat it, is to remove the HARD drive!
  Is this true?
  (It turns out that a broken chip is to blame, but because they violated the warranty, Toshiba will not touch!)

  Can anyone say about this the removal of HD to support it please?

  Hey,.

  Normally it of not necessary to restore the factory settings with to remove the HARD drive but don t you worry about this. The laptop can still be opened from a service provider authorized without losing the warranty.

  I also put t know why they did, perhaps they have checked the material. It would be possible because they have professional diagnostic tools.

  But interesting to know whether or not your problem is now resolved?

  Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, disk management.

  Do right click on E a remove it. After that, you should be able to enlarge C with right click and choose the option of not. But you'll have to save files on E first, so as not to lose them.

  If this does not work for any reason, you will still be able to use 3rd programs like partition magic. I've used several times and I am very happy with it.
