  • Qosmio F30 - how to get started using the external CD/DVD drive?

    Hello Mr President

    I have a Qosmio F30. My CD/DVD drive does not work. I have the USB CD/DVD drive, but I think that F30 does not support external USB CD/DVD drive to boot to the top.

    Please help me. Now, how can I boot Windows XP CD?

    At first, I must say that I really wonder why you do not have something to trade integrated optical drive. Qosmio F30 is not that old laptop and is perhaps the warranty still valid. You should check with the partner of service authorized in your country.

    For start with external peripheral is not so easy because the external drive doesn't recognize started upward. Theoretically you should either external ODD visible to your Qosmio. For older laptop, it is possible if you start Notepad in pilot mode and load BACK to BACK. After doing this you have access to the external hard drive and can start the installation.

    You can do this with your Qosmio laptop?

  • What is the minimum size Flash DRIVE bootable installation of Sierra?

    8 or 16GBs.

    Installers for OS X Mavericks to Sierra bootable USB

    First, review this introductory article: creating a Setup program bootable OS X Mavericks or Yosemite - Apple Support. Second, see this diagram how to create an El Capitan bootable Installer. Just replace the Terminal command with that of the previous article by copying it in the Terminal window.

    You will need a 8 GB or more flash disk USB that has been partitioned and formatted for use with OS X.

    Drive partition and format

    1. Open utility disk from the Applications\utilitaires folder.
    2. After disk utility charges select the drive (entrance Out-bumpy with of the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list to one side.
    3. Click clear in the utility disc toolbar. Name of the player, "MyVolume". <-IMPORTANT!
    4. In the Group dropdown set the GUID partition scheme. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
    5. Click apply and wait for the done button to activate it. When it click on it.
    6. Quit disk utility.

    Create the installation program

    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Choose according to the command line appropriate (in red) on the OS X installer you want. Paste this entire command line by underneath at the Terminal prompt:

    Order for macOS Sierra:

    sudo/Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/MyV--applicationpath/Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app

    Order for El Capitan:

    sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/MyVolume--applicationpath/Applications/Install\ OS\ El\ Capitan.app X\ X\

    Order for Yosemite:

    sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/MyVolume--applicationpath/Applications/Install\ OS\ Yosemite.app X\ X\

    Control of Mavericks:

    sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/MyVolume--applicationpath/Applications/Install\ OS\ Mavericks.app X\ X\

    Press RETURN. You will be asked your admin password. It won't echo on the Terminal window. Press RETURN again. Wait for the prompt to the Terminal, meaning that the process is complete. It takes a while to complete. Be patient.

  • HP ENVY Pro 4-b000: what is the port of hard drive on my laptop?

    I was going to upgrade to an SSD, but I need to know what is the port for the hard drive?

    P/N: B8W17AA #ABA laptop

    grizzogor

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    Sorry but I don't understand your reference to a 'port' for the hard drive.  A 'port' is typically a connector on the case of a laptop when you plug a cable any in.  And, in this sense, there is no "port" for the hard drive.

    This link is to the Service and maintenance for your PC Guide: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=5271152&docId=emr_na-c03404932&docLocale=en_US

    Information hard disk, as well as the replacement instructions, begin on page 37.  Understand, though, that this isn't a deletion-the-cover, ease of use; Instead, you must disassemble the laptop.  Unless you are experienced in doing that, my recommendation is to have the disk swap is completed in an HP Service Center.

    Here is information on Service Centers: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00372730?jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0004

    • What version of Windows are you using?
    • How long have you been faced with this problem?
    • What were the changes made before the show?
    • What is the full error message that you receive?

    I recommend the clean boot and try to install in clean boot state.
     
    Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  • Qosmio G20-114: what are the features of hard drive?

    I just deleted one of my harddrives to my G20 114 so that I can work on my data while my laptop was being repaired.

    My plan was to put in a case of hard drve 2.5 "usb. I was also going to use a spare hard drive 100 GB I need to act as a backup of the operating system drive.

    However, it seems that the arrangemnt pins on the drive, I removed from my Qosmio is different from what I'm used to and it does not seem to hold in the external box. I guess also for this reason that the spare drive I used to fit into the Qosmio. I guess I must be missing something as this may not be the case here. They use some sort of different player in these machines or have I forgot something obvious?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    AFAIK the Qosmio G20 was delivered with S - ATA drives.
    The HARD drive is fixed by 4 screws on the HARD drive carrier.
    Did you remove this media from HARD disk?
    This is perhaps a question why the HARD drive does not fit into the case.

  • What is the function of hard drive recovery?

    Updated from XP to 7 Home Premium and find a record 14.6 GB is only currently 9.6 GB free. What is function of this drive?

    A recovery disk drive is installed by major computer manufacturers (by example, Acer, Dell, Gateway, HP, etc.) and contains the information necessary to return the hard drive from the original computer to its factory configuration.  For example, if you were to read the Guide to the user supplied with your PC and your PC originally came with Windows Vista preinstalled at the factory, the user's Guide would teach you how to use the recovery disk to reformat the hard drive and reinstall Windows Vista.

    Hello Jack,.

    It is usually the case.

    It might be useful to pull down the latest version of the driver for this device from the manufacturer.

    Bought this machine new or used?  If it's new, then the machine should still be under warranty and you could contact them for assistance on the exact capacity machinery.
