Want 750-103D: secondary drive is wiped clean on factory reset

I've screwed to the top of my installation of office and had to do a factory reset. All my applications were in the main drive and no apps such as photos, music, documents in my secondary hard drive. As a precaution, I unplugged the secondary drive before I did the factory reset. After the factory reset desktop started successfully. Then I stop and plugged back the secondary drive but to my horror on 2nd boot my secondary drive had been wiped and all my apps not disappeared. I don't understand.

What have I done wrong?

I don't think that something was wrong.

The new operating system is not reading secondary drive completely as the file system may be different.

Assign a drive to secondary drive. Press Windows + R, type deskmgmt.msc and press to enter. Here, you would see a drive or disk space that would be unassigned. Right click on the drive and assign a drive.

or

Insert the image secondary drive in an external hard disk enclosure and connect an external drive and you should find the content.

If you have disconnected the secondary drive there is no way of that new OS will erase the content, unless you asked.

  • It seems my time machine and external hard drive are wiped clean this morning I started my computer. Is there a way I can know for sure if anything is salvageable?

    I started my iMac this morning find a message that I didn't stop my Seagate external hard drive properly. I always just shut down my computer, I do not close the hard drive first. Now the computer says disc is not readable by this computer. Looks like it's a goner but maybe not, I don't know. I can't tell if it's the same thing to my Lacie Time Machine. There are no backups on it. How will I know what to do? Nothing is salvageable?

  • 750-103D want: I want to install a 3rd HARD drive but the system will not start

    Desktop motherboard has 5 heads SATA (of which 2 were used for the first DvD and HARD disk in the original Setup) and the box has 3 bays for HARD drive, but there is no additional power from the PSU cable.

    I installed a new SSD as my main and designated record the 1 TB of HARD drive that came with the desktop as my secondary school and office works just great.

    Now I tried to install an another 1.5 TB HARD drive for storage. I used a SATA power cable Y (1 male to 2 females) to extend the existing cable. However, to my great disappointment, the system is unable to start up. I guess that supply POWER 300 watts current is insufficient to start 3 disks to a single supply with extension cable.

    Issues related to the:

    1] sells HP a 500-watt power supply with power cable for SATA 3 HARD drive?

    [2] is a compatible power supply on the market (ie. not HP) who can stand in 750-103D envy? Brand/model and how much?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Probably, you have misunderstood my response.  Unplug the original HD boot drive.

    Your question is not the power supply lack of insufficient power.  I have observed remains with HP computers with a power supply that would support three HDs off a 300 Watt SATA power cable voltage.

    Perhaps the third HD is formatted incorrectly or is defective.  The other possibility is that your SATA Y cable connection is defective.  You also need good 5V and 12V.  In addition, if you have made any hardware changes to your PC you have not indicated, then it is possible that you may need a bigger power supply.

  • Tecra M9-185 - 750 GB HARD drive not recognized

    I have Tecra M9-185 (PTM91E-0G4045G3) with BIOS Version 1.90 dated the 29.02.2008.
    It came with HARD drive of 160 GB, which is quite old and needs replacement. I want to upgrade the HARD drive. I tried to use the 750 GB HARD drive, but it was not recognized by the BIOS.

    Is it possible to upgrade the HARD disk? Is there a limit to the ability of the new HARD disk that can be installed?

    Hello

    Of course, the HARD drive can be upgraded.
    The laptop supports the SATA controller. The SATA controller is not limited to a special HARD drive size of my knowledge. 750Go should be supported too. But it might be possible that the BIOS is not able to manage these dimensions.
    Try a different SATA HDD with the smaller size.

    But question: why you n t choose an SSD (250 GB)?
    I have improved my Tecra A10 with a 250 GB SSD and the performance gain is amazing. The machine is running much faster and quieter

  • Info for: mSATA SSD 80 GB and 750 GB hard drive (7200 RPM)

    I buy the 14-2160SE Envy Beats Edition and it has a double drive; SSD HARD DRIVE &. I can't find any definitive info on the HP site or on the web. I am familiar with both types of readers, but not both on the same computer. How does it work? What is the purpose? If it switches automatically or pass them? And, especially, it works for the intended use? Although this is my first post, I'm a believer in public forums, so I don't know that I'll be back as soon as I got my desire. Thanks in advance for your help. Sam

    The 80 GB SSD can contain the operating system and the 750 GB hard drive will be for storage. SSDS are very (very) fast but expensive, so you can get the speed without the monstrous price advantage by combining a little cheaper SSD with a hard drive for storage. I have a 500 GB SSD and it costs more than $600, but I thought I got a good deal. My laptop takes only a single drive. You have the advantage of being able to use the same laptop 2.

    Readers will appear as readers symbolized under "Computer" (Windows Explorer). The SSD will be "C:\ >. Just be sure to move the "My Documents" folder to drive hard (if this has not already been done). Also when you install a new program and it asks the path where you want to install it, put it on the hard drive. In this way, you keep the SSD of McNeil. 80 GB will be plenty as long as you don't try to store large media files.

  • Solid State Drive SSD how to store the user accounts on secondary drive

    I installed windows on a SSD and I want to use a secondary drive for all my data. How to configure windows (explorer) to do this? Thank you, DM.

    Move the users directory and directory ProgramData on one drive other than the drive that contains the Windows directory Warning Using the ProgramData parameter to redirect folders to one drive other than the system volume will block your ability to upgrade to later versions of Windows.

    By changing the location by default of the user profile directories or folders of program data to one volume other than the system volume, you cannot service your Windows installation. Impossible to apply updates, patches or service packs to install. We recommend that you do not change the location of the user profile directories or files from program data.

  • Just reinstalled Windows, permissions on the secondary drive are bent now

    My 320 GB hard drive that has Windows 7 installed on it crashed. I also had a secondary drive of 1.5 TB of storage. I bought a new 500 GB drive and installed Windows 7 fresh top. Now, I think all permissions on this secondary drive are confused because they were originally from the previous installation. At first, I was getting errors in the programs that I couldn't because I don't have permission to write files, so I said the drive to give me ownership of everything on it.

    That seemed to work for a while, but now - and it is perhaps even more boring - when I try to move or copy files, even if I am the owner, it keeps popping up that box (which NEVER happened on the previous installation, incidentally) tells me I need administrator permission to move the files. The first time I saw it, my account was created as an administrator, so I was like "What the heck?" but I hit the little 'yes' with a shield next to him and the files will move as I indicated.

    After spending a ton of time to search the Internet for more information on this subject, it looked like whenever someone asked something similar to this, they would immediately get said, before all else, that they shouldn't be on the admin account, so I thought it was probably a good idea anyway, and who knows maybe it will solve the problem so I did an admin account, logged in it and the value of my main account to a Standard user. Now, logged into my account as a Standard user, when I try to move the files in the same way, the same box appears, except that now I have to enter the password of the Admin account to move files, too!

    I really don't want this obscene level of security on a single user's computer, but I tell myself that all this has something to do with the previous installation of Windows and system files on the secondary drive.

    Long story short, I want the nagging box go away, and I'm out of ideas.

    I solved my problem, I think.

    First: I deleted this user, who, after researching online, I found was just as I thought, an old rest of the previous installation of windows. Remove from the list of permissions of the folder seemed to work well and removed everything.

    Second: drive D right click, entered the security, hit advanced, tap on change permissions, open my standard user and deleted permissions. I hit OK, checked the box on the next screen to replace all child object permissions and click OK. It took some time to change all the permissions, but then I checked the various folders and files to confirm that the standard user was on the list.

    Third: once this was done, I did the same thing AGAIN. Right click the D drive, entered the security, hit advanced, tap on change permissions, open my standard user and he gave TOTAL CONTROL. I hit OK, checked the box on the next screen to replace all child object permissions and click OK. It took some time to change all the permissions, but then I checked the various folders and files to confirm that the standard user was on every list with full control.

    Fourth: I changed to the standard user account and tried to move one of the files previously not moveable, and it worked very well.

    MY THEORY OF WHY THIS HAPPENED: when I reinstalled windows, I chose the same username of the main account again. This may have confused the file system, so I need to get rid of all remnants of the old installation. My username and the name of the computer being the same, I just need to trash the permissions for the old compname/username and then reset again for the compname/current user name.

    I could be WAY OFF with this theory, but it seems to have worked.

    A bit of research I could do, but I'm not going to do, would be to reinstall Windows again and choose a different computer name and the user name to see if the same issues that happened, or if the new permissions set correctly. Or heck, even if the old permissions were still there, but once I took control at the start, it would work. But I'm not going to reinstall Win again, so I don't know who.

    Basically, I think that when you have a situation like mine, it is maybe just tell Windows to appropriate the entire disk is not good enough, and you must make sure that all the old stuff is removed before this. (If your username and compname are the same thing again.)

    As how young Win7 is, I guess the percentage of those who have reinstalled as it is still quite low, so it's probably a problem not frequently encountered. You can have people from MS to test on this!

    Thanks for all the help, I'll be sure to check if there are other problems and let you know!

  • Can I use my secondary drive with operating system installed only on the primary drive?

    I run my sim card on a Sharp 70 "Led 1920 X 1080 p, its so rude, but I like it. I recently got the GTX 590 to find FSX hate double GPUs.Another lesson learned the bad sense, lol. (soon gtx 680)  Also I saw FSX does not play well with the RAID. The sim card is dependent on almost all CPU but with mem cpu and mobo upgrades I should;(better!) See a significant difference. I see a drop in FPS on such a large screen, are there tips to improve?

    Thanks a lot for your answer.

    (24 gb 1866 mhz mem, Asus p6t7 Mobo, intel i7 975 happen soon.)

    Oh yes, I am running an i7 - 2600 K on an Asus P8Z68-V mainboard with memory 32 GB GSkill, Yes, I use a lot of memory, but my performance is excellent, no bottle no necks here. I read that my favors 1600 MHz cpu, with a card mother dual channel is to have triple or quadruple channel about the latency of memory and cache. I think you should run an i7 - 2600 k or even an i7 - 3770 k and at least a card mother with a Z68 or better (Z77) chipset, I also think that FSX could benefit from the technology of fast storage Intels. In addition, I think you should consider at least a 32nm, otherwise a 22nm CPU. Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge CPU are pretty hard to beat. I use my system for games, photo editing and a few VMs running via VMware 8.0 and I'm quite satisfied with the overall performace, with 32 GB of memory, I'm not even under a swap file. In any case, you need to re - consider your choice of material. I have always a way to upgrade with my CPU, hard drives and the GPU.
