    With a bit of work by someone who knows how to do such things, not Apple computers could read some files on the Mac if file sharing is configured on the network... devices non-Apple and... He knew the device passwords or administrator for Macs.

    Mac could also play the files on other Macs if file sharing has been implemented and the device password or admin was known.

  • DV7 - 7333cl: how to extract usable data from a bad drive using 22 pins adapter usb to SATA on the new HD

    Greetings HP Forum,

    Recently, I replaced a bad hard drive on my laptop. I need now step by step procedure to extract usable data from the wrong drive using 22 pins adapter usb to SATA on the new HD.

    NOTE: I can't not all data that especially if some of the software downloaded on the replaced disk can be altered. Should I first download Internet Antivirus to protect my new hard drive? I'm not an expert, or even close to this when you work on the back of the laptop, so I'll have to step by step how to download and to partition the data recoverable and software, etc..

    Thanks in advance for your help... I greatly appreciate it!

    See you soon!

    Wes

    It is not complex. Attach the drive to the adapter and connect it to any other computer with good antivirus and antispyware installed. I use Malwarebytes and Avast. When you connect the adapter with the drive connected to the usb port, the drive will appear and it will be assigned a letter maybe E:\ or F:\ or something else. Immediately, he analyzes with the antivirus and anti-spyware. Quarantine or delete any virus or malware it finds. Then, it's just a matter of navigate the disk and copy and paste the contents of the host computer in a directory for this purpose. Obviously, you can copy from documents word, photos, music files, but you cannot copy the applications like Microsoft Word, iTunes. Photoshop.  You may need to take ownership of the files on the old hard drive, but Windows will guide you through this. Don't know what else I can answer.

    Hello

    I created the DVD Qosmio G20 and this unit is probably more simple as on your F20. In any case if you carefully read the user for F20 manuals described therein:

    Video - in Port
    The port is used differently depending on the OS used in the computer.

    Windows XP Home Edition model: with the VIDEO-IN cable bundle, peripheral external such as TV, VCR, etc., can be connected to the computer and with WinDVR and WinDVD Creator Platinum 2 can be used to modify or view the entries.

    Media Center Edition model: with the cable to VIDEO IN cable or satellite set-top boxes can be connected to the computer to watch channels. Video not CAN NOT be retrieved for editing as in the model of Windows XP Home Edition.

    Now the question: which OS comes with your F20?

  • Remote Desktop from Win7 not passing is not by the cisco pix firewall, but xp can.

    our company lan remote office work like this:

    Win7 for win7 ok

    Win7 for xp ok

    XP and win7 ok

    XP to xp ok

    Which leads me to believe that all the parameters and features of firewall and rdp pc work fine.

    our remote users connect via the cisco through our cisco pix vpn client business and Remote Desktop works like this:

    inside lan xp ouside xp OK

    inside lan xp ouside win7 OK

    Here's the problem:

    inside to outside win7 win7 ==> does NOT connect to (rdp that is)

    inside win7 for xp outdoor ==> does NOT connect to (rdp that is)

    External clients CAN of course accept rdp because it works when initiated by the xp machine.

    ONLY win7 machines cannot use rdp through the cisco firewall

    Yes, the dns resolves properly throughout.

    Yes, remote desktop IS active (Yes, some may ask me that...)

    Ping is not allowed through the firewall, so it makes no difference.

    the result is the same whether the win7 firewall is on or off.

    all the necessary pc firewall settings are good, as demonstrated in the first part.

    Why can you connect the NO Win7?  but the XP machines?

    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    I think that there are some weird setting in Win7 that didn't exist in winxp.
