• need help to install El captain on iMac 2010 after secure hard disk format

  Hey guys... This might seem newb but the other day, I wiped firmly (format single-pass) my HARD drive on an imac 2010 with the Mavericks. Somehow the OS partition has been removed by the previous owner, but they didn't know how and gave me the system as a gift. I had the opportunity to reinstall the Mavericks via internet, but using the original Apple ID, which I couldn't, so the full format. Formatting completely unregister the iMac and delete the App Store, iTunes, ID and other settings/passwords? I have a bootable USB, which will install El Captain but need to know if using my own Apple ID for the installation will work without problems? I'm at the point where the system is no longer automatically starts in recovery mode, like the format, which means that command + R is my next step, but I had to order a keyboard/mouse fixed Magic since it did not come with those. In any case thanks for any advice you can offer.

  The Mac doesn't work this way. The material is not registered to any particular Apple ID. You can either use OS X Internet Recovery, which will install the original system provided with this computer, or you can install from a bootable installation on a UBS drive, in which case you can install any version of the operating system supported by the hardware you choose or that you can download.

  In both cases, once you have started the computer from the recovery of the Internet or the USB drive, run disk utility to completely erase the disk before running Setup.

• I can't install Vista Home Basic Edition to a HARD disk formatted my installation disc

  My computer crashed by a virus. I removed the hard drive, hooked to my Windows 7 computer and formatted the hard drive. I tried for days now all possible variations in the installation menu and it fails every time! Urgh! Very frustrating!

  The disc was sent to me by Microsoft a couple of years with a product key. How can I make this work? Please...!

  I was on it for a week now. I tried all the bloody configurations that I could think of!

  I'll try what you suggested for the tenth time now - it fails every time! I find myself with a message in the upper left corner of the screen: white all type of small letters on a black screen: "no partiton bootable in the table" - no "partition", but "partiton. Just before comes up and locks the computer I see a flash of blue screen that tries to restart the computer. The Bios can be damaged by a virus? If so - how can fix this?

  Too bad... Thanks for the reply, Walter. You made me think in a different direction, that is to say, I realized that the virus was in the CMOS. So I simply removed the battery and moved the RTC Ram rider to clear the clock, so to speak. Boom! It worked! Computer has started in the setup of Vista no probs... 1 million thank - you.

• Hard disk formatted, freshly installed Windows 8, but it does not work with the old key

  I had bought a Lenovo Z570 two years back, with Original Windows 7 Home Premium.

  When Windows 8 released in November 2012, I had bought and upgraded online for her.

  I had used the Windows 8 since then. Yesterday, due to various problems, I had to format my hard drive, and when I finally managed to install Windows 8 on my laptop again, it does not allow me to activate windows 8 using my normal key (he says that this key did not work)

  It was the key in the email from the seller, and I have an e-mail, which has a Bill to prove.
  I guess this could be due to the PC 1 by purchase clause, however, it's the same PC (more like laptop). So I do not understand why I would not be allowed to activate the software I used earlier on the same laptop still on the same laptop after installing it.

  Please get to me as soon as possible if there is a solution.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey! Thanks for your help, but I had refreshed my windows 8 in the meantime and connected to the internet after that. and then when I followed your instructions and run slui.exe, it says that windows is activated. so I guess that the problem is solved.

  Hello muhammad.

  Before you do anything with this player, you can search online for some data recovery utilities so that you can try to recover your data.

  What operating system do you use?

  Have you tried running chkdsk on the drive?

  Let us know.

• I downloaded the Microsoft compatibility pack. He asks me to double click the File Format Converter.exe file on my hard disk to start the Setup program.

  Original title: could not open the file.

  I received by e-mail a file which I can not open... so I downloaded the Microsoft compatibility pack. He asks me to double click the File Format Converter.exe file on my hard disk to start the Setup program.  I'm not savvy and don't know where to find it!  Your help will be admired.  BF

  Hello, I downloaded myself today and when I read your question, I went looking for him.

  The only place where I found it was prefetch.

  However, I was able to view the file after downloading.

  When I download I always save it to the desktop, then the scanner and then double-click it to install. If you haven't noticed where it was installed, check your temp folder.

  Or download it again and save it to the desktop.

  I hope this helps.

• FAT32 option not available to format the hard disk during Windows 7 installation

  I have a computer of Windows 10.  The owner wants to put on Windows 7.  I change the hard drive on the mbr to gpt.  But with the BIOS to TPG, I read that it, the bios would accept FAT32 hard drive.  I don't seem to have this option only NTFS.  Question: How to format a drive in FAT32.

  Hi John,.

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  Before you begin, note that the FAT32 file system has size limitations. You cannot create a FAT32 partition greater than 32 gigabytes (GB). In addition, you cannot store a file greater than 4 GB on a FAT32 partition. If the partition you want to format is larger than 32 GB, NTFS format may be a better option.

  However, I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.
  Reference:

  Important notes:
  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes all the data on this subject. Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin.

• Scores of deletion/formatting of hard disk

  Formatting and the removal of the hard drive partitions more often or him more often deteriorates its performance? I have Western Digital Blue HDD 320 GB of space with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed.

  Formatting and the removal of the hard drive partitions more often or him more often deteriorates its performance? I have Western Digital Blue HDD 320 GB of space with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed.

  Formatting and removing partitions delete not actually given. It affects only the data to free space. If you really want to delete data, you must erase a disk by overwriting (HDD) or by flushing (SSD) technology. See here for more details:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/cleaning-up-a-drive-format-vs-secure-wipe-SSD-and-HDD/

  Be careful of the differences between an SSD and HDD in that regard. SSD drives have limited write cycles and how they assign data differs so conventional means to wipe a HARD drive do not work correctly for one SSD and should not be made.

  You can format, delete, and clear (if you are using the correct method on the HDD/SSD) as often as you want. I can say that my machines are clean installations of Windows much more frequently sometimes up to 5 per day according to the question if I do a test or a style guide. Today, I actually installed Windows 10147 3 times and Windows 10130 2 times. I reinstall Windows 10147 again for another test.

  However always expect a SSD or HARD disk failure and backup your data to an external storage drive or a hard cloud like OneDrive regularly. This means that you are ready for a hardware failure or a software failure. Actually your disc cannot fail for years but if it does its best to prevent than cure.

• DVD cannot install on Mac to format hard disk [using a case-sensitive file system]

  This morning I received my DVD with Lightroom 6 Win/Mac. I have inserted in my drive superdrive. But: Installation on my MacBookPro was denied, reason: my hard drive format is supported by the use of small and capital letters - which is the way normal for MacOs and necessary for backup with TimeMachine. What is the use of a Mac-DVD which can not be installed on a Mac? Something must be wrong here. Would be very grateful for help.

  'Standard' OS X file system is not case sensitive. Although you can use upper and lowercase in a filename to the extent where the system is concerned 'Filename' and 'filename' are the same. So if you try to copy files with the same name regardless of the case so the copy will result in a dialog box asking if you want to replace a file of the same name.

  I guess in your case, your disks have been formatted with case-sensitive file system, and you should generally refrain from using a file system case-insensitive with OS X.

• Export the drive letter of windows and vmware number of hard disk in csv format

  Hello

  is there a way to export to CSV, the windows drive letter (c:, d:, e:, etc.) and the number of disk hard vmware ("Disk 1", hard disk 2", etc.) to a csv file?

  Take a look at this document: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-12180

  It is based on the idea of Hugo Peeters', but it uses the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet and therefore does not require a network connection to work between the virtual machine and your station PowerCLI.

  Export is sent to the Out-GridView cmdlet, but it can be easily redirected to a CSV file by replacing the line:

  $DiskInfo | Out-GridView

  with:

  $DiskInfo | Export-Csv "C:\Script\VMDiskMapping.csv".

• 6 to up to 1.6 TB available external hard drive formats

  Just bought a 6 TB external HD. When the formatting only to 1.6 is available. Why?

  Computer: Mac mini (mid 2011)

  OS: El Capitan

  Hard disk: disk red 6TB WD NAS hard drive - SATA 6 Gb/s 64 MB Cache, 5400 RPM class 3.5 inches

  Hello Welcome to Apple Support communities, and Curtis

  I guess that you'e using disk utility to do the formatting? Your problem seems curiou, this looks like a problem, I used to have with 32 - bit systems, but since your Mac Mini is a 64-bit computer, this should be irrelevant. Maybe El Capitan can simply not fomt a player as such.

  Out of curiosity, have you tried to format the drive Seagate on another machine but also your box Seagate does support a USB 3.0? It is much faster than FireWire, it will be better fair access to juice a big drive.

  Kind regards

  Peter.
