What type of DVD can I use for backup of Windows?
I'm wanting to make my backup of Windows and I was wondering what type of DVD media I use. Is it better to use a RW or one R type DVD.
I have a HP Omni 220-1180qd, A5W89AV #ABA, Win7 64 bit running.
I thought I read it can use CD, DVD, but I want to know which would be the best choice.
Thanks for any help and any help is appreciated.
Honestly, an external hard drive would be a better choice. The difference between-R and + R/W is only + R is "Writable" and + R/W is "Re-Writable. If you intend to do periodic backups, go with an external hard drive... If you intend to make backups very little, consider DVD + R discs.

I created a movie in Movie Maker. I bought some DVD + r's - the correct burn the movie on? Also, I don't have a burner, I thought that I did, I can only burn a CD what should I buy? I don't have a Windows DVD authoring program.
Hi rondah,.
Welcome to the Microsoft community newsgroups.
The type of recordable DVD, you need to use depends on your DVD burner, as well as on your DVD player. Some DVD burners can burn only to certain types of DVD recordable. For example, with some DVD burners, you can only record to DVD + R discs or DVD + RW or DVD-R or DVD - RW discs, while some other DVD burners will let you burn on all of these recordable DVD types.
As long as your DVD burner supports burning to these types of discs, you can use Windows DVD creation to burn a DVD using one of the following types of recordable and re-recordable DVD media: DVD + R, DVD + RW, DVD - R, DVD - RW, and DVD - ROM. These recordable or rewritable DVDs can be either simple single laminate or single sided double layer.
You should also consider the device you're using to play the DVD once you have engraved, if possible. Some DVD players and DVD - ROM drives play only certain types of DVD. To determine what types of DVDs your DVD player or DVD - ROM drive can play, see the documentation that came with your device or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

HP Pavilion P6-2212D: what brand of ram can I use for Joshua-H61-Μatx?
Can what brand of RAM I use for Joshua-H61-Μatx?
Hello
If the new DIMM specifications correspond to the existing DIMM specifications then you shouldn't have a problem. You can download and use CPU - Z to determine specifications.
HP would be a place to start or the underside of the manufacturers.
I would recommend that you try the tools of these manufacturers: Corsair, Kingston and Crucial. Once you have determined the DIMMs you need, then commercial support contract or technique to verify that you have selected the correct DIMMS. Buy directly from the manufacturer is generally preferable that they will stand behind their product.

What HARD drive max can I use for Satellite 2410-504
Hello
I have a Toshiba 2410-504 P241E the 20 GB drive HARD is almost full, and I would like to buy another larger capacity disc to replace.
My question is what is the maximum capacity disc and what type of drive this machine will support?Note: I have the latest version of the bios installed and the machine is running Win XP pro.
Concerning
Bob
Hello
I think that the laptop supports an IDE HDD controller that supports only 28-bit LBA as suggested by resident. This means that the controller does support max 128 GB IDE hard drives.
Since ATA - 6 (Ultra DMA mode 5 or Ultra-ATA100) the 48-bit LBA is supported but I n t think that Sam 2410-504 was equipped with the ATA-6 controller and therefore, it seems that 120 GB (128 GB HARD drive not available) disk HARD is the maximum that could be used.
See you soon

Satellite L20-100 - what modules of RAM can I use for the upgrade?
Hi all
I have TOSHIBA Satellite L20-100 and I need to upgrade the ram memory up to 2 GB.
I found these models on the internet but I don't know that it is compatible with my computer laptop or not.the following module on the eBay store:
* 1 GB Kingston DDR2 667 Mhz 1 GB DDR laptop 2 NB RAM *.
* Hynix 1 GB RAM DDR2 5300 s - computer notebook memory 667 MHz *.
* ASint 1 GB DDR2-667 PC2-5300 PORTABLE 200 pin MEMORY *.Already now I have 512 DDR2 667 Mhz
Or any knows from where can I update the correct RAM?
Hello
Theoretically, you can use all modules store because all the modules to meet specifications, DDR2-RAM, 1 GB, etc. for example.
In your case, I'd take the Kingston RAM. I've never heard ASint RAM, but I have good experiences with RAM Kingston. I always use Kingston RAM to upgrade my notebooks and never had any problems.
Last but not least, you can also buy RAM of an authorized service provider.
Good bye

What type of layer should be used when using the effects lighitng filters "I can't using the way I expect to work -
I want to add lights to he image - and to inform the parties of the image - I duplicated the layer add the lights in the filters, but it does not act as a process additive-
Check out this tutorial from Phlearn on YouTube. It is a bit more flexible, but, of course, requires a bit of elbow grease more Photoshop-wise.

Using this technique, you can adjust the 'lights' as you want by manipulating setting masks. See screenshot below. (Still once again, excuse the butchering.)

I need to restart my computer to its original settings, as I just bought. I did the backup drive for my laptop and need a backup disk to restore my computer. Can I use a backup from another laptop, same brand disc and the same software (vista). Can it be done? If so, what documents do I need to create a backup disk and what to put on it. Help, please.
Hello
recovery discs are computer brand and model specific
If you need the drive for your recovery or read alternative methods below
If you don't have a recovery disk, you must have a recovery partition to do the same thing
Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista:
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
their request also how to make this recovery partition recovery disks
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

What type of certificates are not suitable for the signature of the extensions to HTML5?
It is not clear to me, of the literature exactly what types of certificate are not suitable for the signature of the CC2014 HTML5 extensions.
I used a Thawte 'Adobe Air' certificate for signing extensions based on Flash. It is now expired. Can I buy the same type and that will work cross-platform for the signature of the extensions to HTML5?
See http://www.thawte.com/code-signing/content-signing-certificates/adobe-air/index.html
Thank you
Hi meeky2,
Required certificates have not changed for HTML5 extensions, so the same type of certificate that you had before work ('Adobe Air' certificates are very good).
Note that if you only distribute your HTML5 extension through modules Adobe / Adobe Exchange, then there is no need to use a paid certificate. If you distribute your extension elsewhere, then you should do the same thing as you did with the extensions of the AIR.
Best regards

Hello
This model of laptop is not known to me and it will be interesting to know what this antenna can be used for purposes. It is not described in manuals s?
AFAIK WLAN module is connected to a WLAN antenna in the rear part of the s display. I'm sure that there is no way to connect an external antenna to the wireless network card.
