• Updated the motherboard, processor and RAM and upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, after upgrade the external hard drive encrypted with bitlocker will not enter the password.

  Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

  Hello

  I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

  Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

  I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

  Hello

  Reassembly of the old computer won't help. You will always need the key to open the Bitlocker.

• Install Windows 8 automatically formats the hard drive? If this isn't the case, I should format it FAT or NTFS drive before installing Win/8?

  Install Windows 8 automatically formats the hard drive?  If this isn't the case, I should format it FAT or NTFS drive before installing Win/8?

  No, this isn't format the hard drive, what's done is put your existing version of Windows in a folder called "windows.old", it indeed erases old files of version and folders, leaving free space on the existing partition "NTFS" (formerly ocupied by your previous version of windows) in which is installed Windows 8.

  And "NTFS" is the only file system that supports Windows 8.

• Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

  Hello

  My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
  I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

  The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
  SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
  He said that there is a missing driver.

  I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

  I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

  What can I do?

  Thanks for the help.
  Best regards
  Bruno Moreira

  More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
  In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
  As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

  However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

  But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
  Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
  Give it a try.

• (win 7 Pavilion): plug 3.0 HP external hard drive gives error message - why?

  I recently purchased a dv6 Pavilion and a 750 HP Pocket media drive gig.

  I am on win 7 64 and I have updated all side Windows.

  Whenever I plug the Pocket media player into a usb 3.0 port on my Pavilion, it gives me the message: "this device can perform faster if you connect it to a port 3.0 usb." In other words, the hard drive does not detect that it connects to a port 3.0.

  What could be wrong? What should I try? Everything is under warranty. The tech support person said just try it for a while, and if the hard disk is too slow, I should call again...

  How much is too slow? Wikipedia says that usb 3.0 can get 500 Mbps. What is a real figure or just a hypothetical transfer rate?  I use the cable that came with the media player of pocket and I tried several usb ports.

  Because the problem is with all the USB ports (not just 1), I have to assume that this is a problem with the operating system, hd or the cable.

  You have any suggestions on how to check and fix this? In addition, can I assume that Windows 8 would do a better job of detection 3.0 devices?

  Thanks for your help.

  Robert Nagle

  The problem turned out to be with the personal media player from HP, not the OS or the laptop. I spent 2 months trying to get HP to honor its guarantee of origin. This personal media player worked for about a day (but not 3.0 speeds), and then he has not experienced a catastrophic failure.

  I have never been able to use this personal hard drive, and HP has done nothing to provide a replacement or repair. (4 support calls from 2 hours, 2 emails, an email sent by normal mail.  This is outrageous! HP, you should be ashamed of yourself!

  I bought and maintained computers for 10 years. I am an expert user, and I've never seen such horrible service of any company.

• Satellite L305D S5895: Win 7 cannot find the HARD drive or cannot format the HARD drive on a clean install

  I have laptop Satellite L305D S5895 of the customer. It was delivered to me by the customer who tried to install Windows XP Pro, Vista and none would install.
  He said he tried all the CD that he had finally dropped on it and delivered it to me installation.

  When I got the score have been removed, so I tried to install Win 7 and when I do a custom install, I get an error indicating that the hard drive can not be formatted on disk 0 or it will give an error that no hard drives have been found.

  I have reset the bios default and no matter what I do, it won't format or find the hard drive. I was going to upgrade the bios, but the only way I found to upgrade the bios is once windows is installed.

  Everyone has ideas about this laptop so I can get a system installed. I checked the bios and there is no parameters for a sata, raid or IDE disk drive, so it seems that this version cannot be changed.

  Thanks for anyone who can help you.

• Formatting a hard drive in win 8, will be the work disk XP TSF

  My XP computer crashed, damage the hard drive. I had to re format in WINDOWS 8. Tried to install XPsp3 on cd, but failed (error code 4).

  Down loaded win xpsp2 file (3.5 "disks) and tried, but failed disk 3 (file setupdd.sys could not be loaded. The error code is 4.

  Can someone help me please?

  There is no need to format a disk before installing Windows.  Put in the form, if necessary, is done as part of the installation process.

  When you've had the disk in the external case, have you tested using a chkdsk /R (a Windows tool) or the manufacturer of the utility test drive?  If this is not the case, do.

  Setup error 4 and setupdd.sys failure suggest that your computer has had more damage than just the power connector: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330181?wa=wsignin1.0

• Win XP Pro and 2 TB of internal hard drive

  I have Win XP Pro on the computer and I just bought the internal hard drive (2 TB). Now ask yourself if they are compatible?
  Would appreciate any help...

  Thank you very much!

  If your motherboard supports SATA-II drives, then your new drive is compatible. Only two ways to discover are:

  (1) plug the drive hard and during the initial boot, enter the BIOS, the new disk appears.

  (2) open "Disk management", you can format the drive (which must be displayed as 1.8 GB in size).

• How can I remove bit locker option from my hard drive?

  I have a password on one of my local hard drives using bit locker. now, I want to remove this password. How can I remove tht?

  Hi HaBiB JHoN,

  1. what operating system is installed on the computer?
  2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

  Method 1
  The best way to remove BitLocker on windows 7 32-bit is to follow the following steps.
  a. click on start
  b. click Control Panel
  c. whereas the Control Panel, find the Bitlocker Drive Encryption icon, click on it
  d. here you will see all the partitions on your hard disk and their encryption status, whether encrypted or not.
  e. that is encrypted, you will find an option to turn off bitlocker. Click on it and wait for the machine to decrypt.

  Method 2
  To prevent losing access to drives protected by BitLocker in case of failure of the TPM secure, forgotten passwords or loss of smart cards or USB keys, it is important that you have a way for administrators to access to BitLocker drives. BitLocker supports the following methods to retrieve access to protected drives:

  a. recovery key or recovery password. You can use a BitLocker recovery password or a recovery key. If a BitLocker key is not available, as in the case of a missing SmartCard or forgotten user password, a 48-digit recovery password can be used to unlock the protected drive. In place of a password, a recovery key which has been stored in a file on a removable media such as a USB flash drive, can also be used to unlock the protected drive.

  b. backup key in Active Directory Domain Services. Password recovering BitLocker can be stored in Active Directory Domain Services. This allows administrators, such as the personal assistant of office help users retrieve drives protected by BitLocker when they have forgotten or misplaced their recovery password.

  c. data recovery agent. A data recovery agent is the person designated as a system administrator, who can use his administrative credentials to unlock BitLocker-protected drives. BitLocker is not configured with the default data recovery agents, neither data recovery agents are enabled by default. They must be enabled and configured by using Group Policy.

  Also take a look at the article:

• Restore Vista Premum (32-bit edition) for the new hard drive from the laptop when original disks are lost?

  Hello

  I'm trying to upgrade from my son's laptop computer and want to replace the current drive with a much larger.

  It is running Vista Home premium Edition (32 bit) and he lost his records came with the laptop: I can do?  I bought Windows 7 Upgrade and a disk hard sata 500 GB, but I need to get Vista on the new drive before Windows 7 readers.

  I backed up the data using Windows Easy Transfer for issue restores the operating system.

  Please note that this is a laptop, I can only have a hard drive up both and I don't know how to get the operating system to the new blank disc? I can create a recovery on a DVD disc / C or something Vista or a 3rd party utility?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Contact the manufacturer to see if you have a recovery Partition and if it can create recovery discs.  If so, create the recovery disks and you will be able to use them to restore the system to factory conditions once you have installed the new drive (but you may need to install the new Vista compatible drivers for the new drive as the recovery disks can have only those for the old disk).  Otherwise, contact the manufacturer and get a set of recovery (at a modest price) discs and use them to restore the system to the conditions of the plant on the new drive.  When we talk to them, confirm that their recovery process allows you to install new drivers for the new drive hard during the process and exactly how do (or it doesn't work - so be sure to check it out).  We cannot help you with recovery of the manufacturer process as it their not Microsoft.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
