Unable to format hard drive for Windows

• format hard drive for windows and larger files, TV supports

  Hello

  pls suggest me with the solution to the following problem.

  I need to know what format of hard drive works with mac, windows, & TV too, even for large files and quality bluray movies

  FAT32 only supports files up to a maximum size of 4 GB, which would be certainly much too small for Blu - Ray quality media.

  exFAT supports files of unlimited size effectively, Mac and Windows can read and write to exFAT to format external drives but neither can boot from such a unit. If a TV or other system supports exFAT drives, you need to check yourself formatted.

  NTFS supports files of unlimited size indeed, Mac can only read NTFS, it cannot format or write to NTFS, unless you get an add-on. Of course Windows supports NTFS. Again, you will need to check if your TV etc supports NTFS. If you want to add full support for NTFS to a Mac, I recommend this - https://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/

  HFS + is the current format of Apple and new supports files of unlimited size effectively. Mac can of course read, write and format disks. Does not support the Windows as a standard HFS +, but still, you can buy an add-on for Windows Add this feature. It is extremely unlikely that a TV would support HFS +. If you want to add full support for HFS + for Windows, take a look at this - http://www.mediafour.com/software/macdrive/

  There are also other formats of disc for example ZFS and BTRFS, Ext3, Ext4 and soon SATF, but in this case, they are not relevant.

  Note: as indicated above, in many cases, I said 'actually unlimited', it is of course a limit, but one so great that he will strike you not for individual files, including Blu - Ray or even files UltraHD (4 k).

• How to get personal files on a backup external hard drive for windows 7

  How to get files from a backup external hard drive for windows 7 pro. ? I DON'T WANT TO RESTORE WINDOWS 7, JUST MY PHOTOS & DOCUMENTS.    TO THANK THE TAXI 53 DRIVER

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  You can restore backed up files lost, damaged, or accidentally modified versions. You also to restore files individual, groups of files, or all files that you have saved.

  If you are restoring files from a backup that was made on another computer, the files are restored in a folder under the user name that was used to create the backup. If the user names are different, you must navigate to the folder where the files are restored.

  I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.

• Denied access in writing to a disk external hard drive for Windows XP laptop.

  I have my laptop running on Windows XP. Recently I am facing difficulties to copy the files to my portable hard drive to an external hard drive (Intenso) - the error message "Unable to create the new folder - access denied".

  Surprisingly, the last time that I triedto copy some files was in December 2010 and everything worked fine. Even more surprising is that when I'm trying to copy files from my laptop to desktop hard disk Intenso I barely have problems at all! It works very well. Also, the operating system of my portable desktop is also WindowsXP.

  It seems that the hard drive is formatted with NTFS, and you must add the "everyone" to the root of the drive with ALL the account permissions and leaves all of the subfolders will inherit this setting.

• Format hard drive for Media Center

  I have a Dell E1705, which I used for several years.  During the system was under warranty, a Dell technician I crossed of reformatting the hard drive and had me format in a single partition.  I discovered once this is completed there is a hidden partition to enable the functionality of Media Center work.  I tried to make a 1.5 GB hidden partition, but could not make it work.  I'm tired of formatting and reinstalling and just went ahead and started using it.  Supervisor of the technician, I was working with at the time said to call him just at the time when I wanted to start.

  My warranty has now lapsed.  I want to reformat the hard disk and to return the media center functionality.  I don't know how to format the drive hard so that the installation works properly.

  I have the reinstallation of the operating system CD (DVD) "Version of Windows Media Center 2005 with Update Rollup."  I have a Cd labeled "to reinstall Dell Tools System Software", "Drivers and Utilities for.

  reinstall Dell Inspiron and XPS system software","to reinstall Dell Media Experience 3.1 "and" to reinstall Dell MediaDirect on Dell Inspiron 9400 and E1705 systems".

  I think I can get through the basics of starting from the DVD and reinstall Windows as well as to get pilots back in the drivers disk.   I would get the media central part back to feature so needs to know how to reformat/repartition my hard drive so that it works.  All the words of wisdom / tutorial on adding information necessary to solve my problem would be appreciated also.  I looked around, on the support.dell.com site and forum of users without finding something that helps me to solve this problem.

• Correct installation of the new hard drive for Windows 7

  Have a disk hard fatal crash with Dell OEM Windows 7on, so I bought a new hard drive compatible system and have my old system Win 7/recovery of data on a memory stick. It's been years that last I formatted, partitioned and installed an operating system on a new hard drive and I totally forgot how it's done. Vaguely remember some DOS commands were required to work out of BIOS (?). Can anyone list the individual measures to be taken, assuming that the hard drive is physically installed and turned on? It would be a great help!

  Unless this stick memory has on her installation files as well, you cannot reinstall win7 on the new hard drive

  You will need the DVD / or the ISO of Win7.

  ]

  And no you do not need BACK. Just the dvd or ISO / to boot from. Then you can format / partition in the configuration screen

• Incompatible with the controller hard drive for Windows 10 update

  After 4 TEC, I was able to update Windows 10.  Now the report of compatibility for my computer says that my hard disk controller is not compatible with Windows 10.  I have Windows 7 and its been running pretty well with some minor problems.  When I go to search for drivers or windows updates, it seems to continue indefinitely and do nothing.  Not sure if that has anything to do with the controller, but I thought I would include this information.

  The latest technology suggested that I go to my local IT guy... funny, considering it's my computer at home.  What are my options?  Or someone has an idea how I could get the controller fixed my own?  Or should I consider 10 Windows a lost cause and wait until I get a new computer?  Thank you!

  Hello!  Thanks for the reply.  I've updated driver for the controller, and the next day was 10 Windows in my Windows Update.  I opened it to the top, and it worked!   Now have 10 Windows happily running on my computer.  Thanks for the information!

  If you can get the Nero software is another matter.

  You usually don't require any installation disk to use an external usb device

  When you insert the disc it seems either Computor (RSM) or in disk management?

  If it is not in the Device Manager there at - it marks of yellow warning?

  Hello

  It is forbidden to move that preinstalled OEM license for Windows 8, which is installed on the laptop to a pc hard drive.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

  The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

  License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  If you are talking about undelete programs, car brands, or
  anything else, which is better is a matter of taste. You will get different
  responses from different people.

  That said, I like http://www3.telus.net/mikebike/RESTORATION.html

  If you can recover data from a damaged disc depends on what the
  the damage. But in general you can not. In most cases, your only recourse
  is to bring or send the drive to a professional file recovery company.
  This kind of service is very expensive and may or may not work your
  case.

• partition on hard drive for windows vista Ultimate edition

  Hello iwant to repartition my HDD = 160 gigabytes to install windows vista ultimate on it so I would like to know how to make the partition (C) for windows vista ultimate

  You can decide yourself what size you want, superior to the minimum required by Microsoft, which is 40GBs (which is too little, in my opinion)

  Use the whole 160GBs as I already advised you, or decide for yourself!

  Those are your choices.

• Format HARD drive with windows 8

  Hello, I just formatted HDD with win8 include the recovery partition.

  I can find a link to download the recovery disc.

  and cannot find the product key for the operating system.

  How to install legal win8 to HP?

  Hello

  If your laptop is originally shipped with Windows 8, the activation key is stored in the Bios Chip and read automatically during installation.

  It also works if you create your own OEM Windows 8 install disc - see the 3rd Hüffer on the following link.
