• Laptop hard drive failures

  My laptop hard drive crashed. It is repaired by a new disc with the approved o/s. It doesn't have a D partition now. Is there any use in my command, recovery disks? I already started to restore applications and data.

  Hello

  I see what you mean

  If media recovery is all benefits for you, depends in large part of the operating system that you use and whether you have any other way to reinstall the operating system in case of accident - for example if you are using Windows 7, you can easily create your own installation media and use the key of 25 characters of your coa label to activate it. A complete list of Windows 7 ISO files here.

  If you are under Windows 8, these files are not so easy to find, so you spend your recovery media order may be worth considering.

  In both cases, the only way that partition D (recovery) can be recreated would be to use a set of recovery media (disk or flash drive) to perform a factory reset as it will not only reinstall the OS, but to recreate the original scores, with only your laptop delivered.

• Update of RAM and hard drive for Compaq 6710 b

  Hey guys,.

  I had Compaq 6710 b and I'll update my Ram and HARD drive on it with these (link here)

  On the system view, it says memory: 1.99 Gb and the Crucial site gives these details:

  Maximum memory: 4 GB
  Slots: 2

  But I looked under the hood of the ram and only thing I saw was a simple location with stick of 1 GB (below Sorry for bad quality and light photos)

  http://i.imgur.com/F0MKO.jpg

  So then it just a single cell phone location? And I can buy a 1 x 4 GB DDR2 ram stick?

• HP Pavilion 15 laptop: HARD drive SSD update for HP Pavilion 15 laptop

  Hey there!

  I own a HP pavilion 15 notebook PC, [model number: F6C42PA #ACJ]. Currently, it is equipped with a 1 TB SATA HARD drive. I was going to upgrade to SSD. Kindly guide me through the steps and the compatible products. Also is there a simple way to just walk into an authorized service center of thm Center and ask to do the upgrade?

  Thank you

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Any form factor of 2.5 in SATA SSD will work and I recommend a Samsung Evo 850.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820147372&cm_re=Samsung_850_Evo-_-20-147-372-_-product

  There is a link for all sizes available on the page. I recommend that at least a 256 and 500 are quite affordable nowadays.

  Where do you live? Country only, please. I heard that HP Service centers will perform memory and SSD upgrades on these 'closed' systems but I don't know where all of them or what they would charge. You should be able to find a competent local computer shop to do. It does not put security at risk, but the warranty is not revoked if the work is done properly, without damage to the laptop.

• Update of Windows, external hard drive + sound problems

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1720 with Windows Vista installed. I recently bought a Western Digital 1 TB external hard drive, which I forgot to unplug a couple times when I turned off the computer... Windows normally the thing 'install updates & stop', and I'm sure that he accidentally put the files to one of these updates on my hard drive, because a little bit ago, I noticedthis new file . He also said that the hard drive is used whenever I'm trying to remove it safely, even if I did open / running. I wonder if there is a way to solve this problem...? Is it safe to just delete the files from my external hard drive?

  In addition, around the same time, through the speakers of my laptop stopped working. He still works perfectly with headphones plugged in however. In playback devices, speakers/headphones (SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC) is active and supposed to be 'working '. When I check with Device Manager, it says that the software is up-to-date and fully functional. I wonder if this could possibly be linked to a bad Windows update... and also how to fix it.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  The software is delivered with the drive from Apricorn wire works fine until windows 7.  The latest version of the software works with windows 8.

• Computer HP laptop slim 500 GB HARD drive: used for HP laptop HARD drive upgraded to Win 10 Pro with key now stuck after HP Drive Encryption Login

  I bought a portable hard drive used HP for the upgrade of my Lenovo G550 with ugraded CPU with Intel's CORE DUO T9300 2.50 ghz

  (HP hard drive: computer laptop slim drive HARD 500 GB SERIAL ATA DISK DRIVE S/N W627S9NL P/N 756731-001 MFG Seagate Technologies DOM 8 / 2015)

  I was happy to see that the hatd drive had already installed because Windows 7 I had bought already separate legitimate Windows 10 Pro license key for the upgrade. I was able to go online and download the upgrade of Windows 10 and used my purchased license key to activate my updated.

  While doing the installation, there are some HP software that was still on the hard drive. I thought it would be good to have some additional security protocols, so I also installed the WinMagic Securedoc Bootloader v1.2.12 and saved the drive encryption HP with the security issues and password for secondary access.

  10 Windows has been activated and everything was beautiful. But when I restarted the laptop, I put my password for windows and then it goes to this screen of disc HP encryption rises. I put the password and it is accepted - and then the screen turns white... not offshore... jblank TEU with a cursor flashing that doesbn can't react to inputs.

  I tried leaving it for a day or so and still nothing.  There is nothing I can change in the configuration of the BIOS that works so far.

  I also tried Reimage download on USB and re-creation of the sequence of boot, but not good. Even tried a boot drive, but nothing there either. I'll try again.

  I don't know where to go or how to get beyond the screen of HP encryption.  I am pretty good at following directions, I don't know coding, but may do what you suggest to help me fix this problem.

  Can you help me?

  Sorry... I missed the part that you have a license Win10.  I thought you were trying to activate 10 using the OEM HP license and causing problems.

  I do not use HP encryption applications - as having recently completed a career in the InfoSec, I personally focus together on the encryption of the PC to be laughable-, but my guess is that you are basically out of luck.

  If it was my drive, I WIPE the drive of all its content and then again install Win10.  A good product to do i.e. DBan: http://tiptopsecurity.com/how-to-securely-wipe-your-hard-drive-with-dban-erase-your-data-for-good/

  Once your disc is clean, then simply install Win10 on it.

  That said, with a bit of luck, one of the HP EXPERTS will probably come along and tell you how to get around their encryption.

  Good luck
