  Any SATA HDD 3.5 "internal 7200 rpm or compatible, my preference would be to install a Western Digital HD, other brands available hard drives are Seagate and Toshiba.

• Impossible to format my Sandisk Ultra Plus 16 GB MicroSD

  Hi, I bought this product about an hour ago from Bestbuy. It was sealed in his case, there is no way, it was a homecoming.

  When I insert the SD card with the inside microSD adapter to my computer, it asks to format the drive. Then the Format Windows removable disk appears and says that my card is 30.6 MB... When I click on Start to get in shape, with the default given the options, it returns back that it is impossible to format.

  I tried the SD Formatter 4.0 card. He says that it is write protected, even if the switch is not in write protect mode.

  I have a MicroSD USB Reader. I tried this way too, and it does not work.

  I would like to get assistance.

  I found my problem.
  As well my card reader USB MicroSD and SD of the laptop slot could not format/read it. I don't know for what reason. But they were a couple of years.
  Today, I bought a new card reader. I could open the drive very well and format.
  Hope this helps some people.

• Vostro 460 found network card Code 31 need to reboot 3 to 4 times

  I have 10 Vostro 460 s, network cards themselves not at startup.  You must restart the systems 3 - 4 times to get Windows to find network cards.  All the drivers are up to date.  This may be related to a Windows update, because the machine were very good for a month or two until an update is released.

  We have the same problem.  3 of the 11 Vostro 460 lack of NIC I totally agree with jason629. Call Dell for a new MB or get a new network card. I spent hours and hours to try to update the bios/driver, restart, unplug, reset MB, shaking. I ended up getting new network cards.

  Disappointed. Quailty of Dell is downhill.

• Upgrade card chart Mini-Tower Dell Vostro 460

  Hello everyone. I am completely new to this physical thing of the entire computer, and I would like to help. I am looking to update my current card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 420) chart for my Vostro 460, and I was wondering if someone else had gone through that process or could give me some detailed help. I don't really know a lot of graphics cards, and try to understand those who work with the system I have is a bit confusing.

  I realized that I need to improve my diet (currently 350 watts) in order to get a decent graphics card. I was thinking to get this 500 watt a I've seen recommended on another forum-

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817151119&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&aid=10446076&PID=6146836&SID=f6vge9gxnfbi

  That will fit in the 460 Vostro mini tower, right? Don't want to buy something and then didn't even hold.

  As for the graphics card I want, I'm pretty open with regard to the price range. Basically, I'm trying to run something like Skyrim on higher settings, but I don't need a fool of computer game set in place. Someone here could give me some advice on what I should consider buying?

  Just get a GeForce GTX 750 Ti and you won't even have to upgrade from your diet.  They use 60-Watt and GeForce experience will optimize Skyrim on Ultra settings clocked at resolution of 1920 x 1080 with this card.

  This one HERE is popular and didn't even need any connection of auxiliary groups of power because of how effective power this new chip is and they run very cool, so you'll have no problem at all heat.

• Can I format my secondary hard drive on another PC?

  I understand that you format a secondary hard drive before using this, but what happens if I format it in another computer and place it in another computer? I basically want to just send my files on the secondary hard drive then put the hard drive in another computer and transfer the files on the primary. Should it be formatted when installed in another computer, every time and will it be ok if I just send my files to real vivid primary in another computer? Thank you

  Format on a computer and you can use it in all that are supported by the type of file system.  Use NTFS for windows computers.

• Impossible to format the full Volume - Adaptec 3405

  

  As you can see, the unit supports and recognizes correctly the volume of 2 TB, but breast of ESXi is impossible to format a VMFS beyond 45.26 GB volume.  It seems that we are stuck in a total of 50 GB of space on a volume of 2 TB.  Someone at - it ideas?

  Thanks in advance,

  nniemeyer2

  Your volume TB 2.04, VMware is limited to a size of 2 TB - something more volume that wraps to lose the first 2 TB. Then the 40 GB, you can format is 0.04 CT.

  Resize/re-partition your device less than 2 TB.

• Missing drivers for Vostro 460

  I inherited an old 460 Vostro without an operating system, so I'll try to put up with my copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. I can't get the built-in NETWORK interface to work.

  None of the drivers at http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/vostro-460/drivers seem to have anything to do with the chipset or the network card.

  Anyone know where I can find all the drivers for this computer?

  Thank you.

  First, set up your operating system installed.
  

  Then, install all Chipset drivers, restarting after each of them.
  

  Thirdly, install the Broadcom NIC driver. Reboot when finished.
  

• Impossible to format or use USB - external HDD - storage device.

  I have a computer at home using Windows 7 and laptop using 7 Starter. I also have a 350GB HD and DVD writer unit that attaches via USB. Computers see the DVD burner and the hard disk consider both as a mass storage device. However, when recording work this unit is not available as an option. It may need to be formatted. Windows seems unable to cope with this task. Any ideas how to use this hard drive? Suggestions welcome. Main computer is an all-in-one advent. The phone is a Samsung.

  If the external hard drive was manufactured until Windows 7 is released, you may need to download a driver for him to the company that makes it.  A number of people have reported this is the case.  You didn't say what brand drive you have or how old he was.

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• Satellite U400-112: impossible to format the local drive (damaged MFT?)

  Hello!

  I had a pretty serious problem with my HARD drive.
  250 GB HARD drive
  C: 116 GB - NTFS - Windows XP (Vista initially)
  D: 1, 5 GB - NTFS - (Vista Recover?..)
  E: 117 GB - RAW (was NTFS prior to crash)

  Local drive E: MFT have been damaged because of the virus attack (I hope not because of my madness!). It's NTFS, now it's RAW. I got all the necessary data partition with program ZAR, but all my attempts to recover or just the format E: remained unsuccessful.
  None of the defective sectors found on the HARD drive. Standard Windows tool to format the disks fails: 'it's impossible to finish the formatting of E:

  Before this problem with the E: drive, I had several problems with HARD drive. I have never divided re discs, to Partition Magic from the beginning he identified incorrectly. I tried Partition Magic 7 and 8.
  Link: [error screensaver | http://cs1498.vkontakte.ru/u169802/154397/x_3a82b4fb.jpg]

  The problem is that the special programs (I tried "find and Mount") also could not identify partitions to correct the defective MFT. I thought that low-level format can help me, but I heard, that the use of all applications for other producers can probably destroy my HARD drive. Are there only special applications of Toshiba developed for such cases? Or you can advice me something else?

  Thanks for your help!

  P.S. These applications did not help me:
  Find and Mount (can't find the HARD drive)
  Acronis Recovery Expert (does not find the HARD drive)
  OnTrack EasyRecovery Professional (does not resolve the error, but help to recovery data)
  HDD Regenerator

  Thus you get back all your important data?

  I would like to just launch Recovery to restore the HARD drive to its factory condition. If the recovery fails, you can try to delete the partitions with FDISK from a startup MS-DOS disk. Free bootdisks can be found at www.bootdisk.com

  FDISK can also repair a Master Boot Record by running this command: FDISK/MBR
  But it is not 100% reliable, it could cause more harm than good.

• Satellite 2450-201: impossible to format SD card 4 GB card

  Hello

  IA´m an owner of Satellite 2450-201 and I have a big problem.
  I just bought a 4 GB SD memory card and Nice, it adapts to the side slot on my laptop.

  This is the first time using the memory card, so a needs-to-format window appears when I try to access.

  The window has the right information: 3.78 GB, Fat32,...

  I click 'OK' and informs the Windows (XP SP2): impossible to complete format (here is Portuguese, then it is translated into English)

  If the correct size is informed, 3.78 GB, why windows can't format it?

  My laptop is virus and spyware free (only 23 spots in the running and supervision), I have SP2, Bios (most recent) 1.50, SD my controller drivers is up to date (the last and the only one that was released in 2003).

  Also tried third party "Panasonic SDFormatter 2.0". He reports the (physical) unit or the mem SD stick is not compatible with the program. And the same effect occurs: the Sd device lost the nice icon and I need to remove/insert the SD card to see again the same story.

  Help me please, friends.

  Hello

  It of very strange that you re possible to see the plugin SD card. Some people suggested that this SD card supports only 256MB, 512 MB cards and more with no MMC support.

  I put t know if you have a format utility Toshiba SD card installed on the laptop, but on many notebooks of utility such Tosh is preinstalled and could be used for formatting of the card.

  According to some poster in this forum the Portege M400 utility format could handle 2 GB, but not sure about 4 GB SD cards.
  If possible, you can try to install this utility on your laptop, but you know you don't have much chance that it works.

  I think that in this case only an external SD card reader will help you.
