• Why my hard drive is so active when my calculation goes to sleep?

  Why is my hard drive so active when the screensaver on my computer? Even after I wake up the computer the hard drive screen saver mode remains active for a long time?

  My computer - HP Compaq Presario sr5612f

  Hi GreatNate,

  What type of screen saver do you use? Is one that is preinstalled on the PC, or one that you have installed yourself?

  The processes you mentioned below are some typical process Intenet Explorer, Task Manager (since you opened it to display) and then dmw.exe.

  The dmw file is actually one that you can change the settings to see more system resources. This is a HP support document that explains How to increase the system resources in Vista. Pay special attention to step on the set of non-essential graphics features.

  Here is a web page that explains more about dmw if you are interested.

• Why my hard drive frequently the race, for an extended intermittently?

  My hard drive accelerates frequently (even when I'm not using it) and seems to be racing (for up to 30 minutes at a time). It seems that the computer is actively working on something and runs very slowly if I try to open Explorer or Outlook. The events come & go and can fluctuate quickly. It's driving me crazy. It's noisy and irritating. Don't know if it's a software is automatically updated (eg. Updates Windows or PC Tools antivirus). I did all the checks the system, etc. defragmented. The machine runs well between these events. System checks do not seem to identify all errors. A recent check by a technician after a blue screen error, identified faulty RAM, since replaced, but not other issues.

  I suspect it has something to do with the analysis of the components of the PC Tools software in real time.  According to the options you have installed/enabled, you do not have to all or they are in competition with other things.

  What is your version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Do you have other AV tools installed such as McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, Comodo, etc..

  You can temporarily disable PC Tools and see what things look like.

  You needn't Download Process Monitor.

  You need to download Process Explorer from here:

  You'll like Process Explorer when you get the hang of it.  Process Explorer is the Manager of Windows taskbar on steroids.

  Process Explorer installs nothing so it won't slow down your system since it works only on request.

  Process Explorer can seem a little intimidating at first because it has so much information, but you will begin to make love the way it works when you're looking for performance problems.   You can even say EP you want it to be your new default 'Task Manager' value in the future.  You can always run the original tasks as Manager.

  Once you get Process Explorer running, expand the columns, made drag the corners of the screen for it's largest, etc., so you can see as much information as possible in the window.  Now you can really see what is running on the system.

  Here's a screenshot of my poor system when I use Process Explorer:

  http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2567/ProcessExplorer.PNG

  The small window at the top right shows graphic things.  Each window is a different as rolling graph:

  CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
  Validation of the system
  Physical memory
  Network
  Disc
  E/S

  Roll your mouse over each small window to see what it says that you can see what they are doing.  Double-click the window to make it bigger.

  If your drive is too busy, look a peak in the disc window or double click it to make it bigger.  When you see a spike, you pass the mouse over it and it will tell you the process on your system that is the cause.

  For the experience, when PE upward and running and things are settled down, choose Tools in the properties of your HARD drive and then scan your HARD drive for defragmentation.  You don't need actually to defragment the volume since that take too long - just it will analyze and watch the graph of disk in Explorer process for the tip.

  When analyze you the volume for fragmentation, see the drive activity in process Explorer and hover your mouse over the edge and he'll say dfrgntfs.exe, so now you know that cause the Spike.

  Close all applications that you don't need to your troubleshooting so that they don't clutter things, is PE up and running, let things settle down and wait for the fly and the outbreak in the graph of the disc, hover your mouse over the edge and find out who is the culprit.

• What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?

  What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?  Also, WHERE can I find this specification?  Drobo claims that 16 TB is the largest external RAID supported and I do not.

  FYI............ 2 UPDATES since I posted this question:

  "1. Drobo has updated their FIRMWARE to allow now to 'beyond' 64 power to RAID".  Thus, their original 16 TB limit has now been replaced by their new limit of 64 to.  Also note that when you use a Drobo, Apple Mac OS does correctly shows space 'Drive' and the 'free space', if the Drobo 16TB exceeds the size; but the Application DashBoard of Drobo displays the correct numbers.  For example, my Drobo 5 d contains 5, 8 TB disks, for a total size beyond 40 to RAID (theoretically, since most of us should know, now, that the ACTUAL SIZE IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER than THE THEORETICAL SIZE).  AVAILABLE FOR USE ACTUAL SIZE IS ONLY 28.9 TB.  Thus, 40-28, 9 = 11.1 TB gets used in place for the PROTECTION of RAID beyond and the difference between REAL SPACE and SPACE THEORY.  It IS NORMAL because any RAID 5 device always uses about 1 size of hard drive for its Protection.  So, knowing this, the DeskTop icon showing 28.9 TB disk space and free space as everything that is not yet used.  However, instead, the Mac OS shows 70,37 TB disk space and free space like 68,37 TB, which are both incorrect.  Although I'd love it if Mac OS has been magically increase my disk space, in fact, these two numbers are false.  Drobo knows this, and Apple has not, in my discussions with both.  So I hope, between the two companies, that this problem can be corrected.

  2. after many hours on the phone with Apple Support, through no less than 6 people including 2 senior advisers, NONE OF THEM COULD ANSWER MY QUESTION ON CE WHO IS MAXIMUM ALLOWED HARD DRIVE or RAID SPACE AUTHORIZED BY Yosemite and El Capitan.  For me, THIS IMPORTANT FACT SHOULD SIMPLY BE LISTED IN THE OS SPECIFICATION TECHNIQUE, it's quick and easy to read on the Support Site.  But Apple is the new bureaucracy, they are, I don't see what is happening any time soon.  So, be aware that, for now, HE IS No. LIMIT ON SIZE, as an Apple adviser said; but could not confirm in writing; and, IT IS AN INCORRECT DISPLAY SIZE AND FREE SPACE, if your drive is greater than an unknown 16 + TB in size.  Note that I have 3 other RAIDs that are properly in place showing that 9 TB, TB 12 and 18 to size; but I do not know how the SIZE IS IMPORTANT to ensure that the operating system display it correctly, except for my Drobo TB 40.  So, the bottom line, somewhere between to 18 and 40 to is where he goes wrong, in its display of sizes.

• IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  I have a MacBook from 2008. 4 years ago I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive. I have thousands if photos on it. IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  < re-titled by host >

  I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.

  Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?

  How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files?  Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?

  IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.

  I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?

  IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?

  What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

  Recovery of DNG issue: I have photos stored on an external hard drive which have previously been imported into Lightroom and converted to DNG.  The laptop on which I was running Lightroom died and I had to replace the hard drive and rebuild the computer.  In the process of my Lightroom program and catalog related to these images have been lost.  When I re-associate these photos with my new installation of Lightroom and a new catalogue is there a way to retrieve the keywords or other changes or metadata catalogue Mountaga?  Is any of this information embedded with the imge DNG file or was it only in the cataloght lost on my failing hard drive? I re-import just as if it were new images with no prior treatment of Lightroom?

  By default, LR saves all changes in the catalog, and that applies to any type of file.

  Optionally, you can save changes to the file as well, for raw files owners, this will create a xmp file - for DNG that changes are going to be cooked in the file, without additional xmp file.

  But it does not default. Go to the catalog and parameters under the control of metadata automatically save changes to XMP.

  Unless you do this, the changes are saved only in the catalog.

  Hope this makes things clearer.

• The maximum size of HARD drive the BIOS sees in Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series systems

  I want to switch the HARD disk in my Satellite Pro 4340. I know the 4200 and 4300 SP series can take at least a 20 GB HARD drive that I've already updated a SP4270 and SP4280 drives from 20GB already.

  I did a search on assignments earlier re. Satellite Pro 4200 and computers portable 4300 series as various other contributors of this forum had already asked this question. A respondent suggested that they had installed a 60 GB HARD disk without problem.

  Someone at - it else mounted a big HARD drive (or more even) in these notebooks series 4200 and 4300 and managed to do work OK and had the BIOS to recognize the total size of the HARD drive?

  What is the largest swap HDD that someone did with success on these machines of 4200/4300?

  Unfortunately, you will not be able to find accurate information about it. All you can find are reports from other users. I am really interested about other views.

  By the way: 60 GB HARD drive is not sufficient for you?

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  No, at least not by us.

  Open a hard drive for some reason any at all can be done in special
  laboratory as parameters. Something else will destroy the disk.

  There are companies trying to recover data from broken disks,
  and they are sometimes successful. And who knows, maybe they
  sometimes use methods such as what you describe.

  But if you plan to use such a company, know what they
  are all very expensive. It does not for most people.

  For the future, if you have files you want to be sure are not
  lost, make sure to have in place a backup procedure on a regular basis the

  I formatted my hard drive and xp wouldn't charge b/c he didn't see the hard drive. I then installed Windows 7 starter and cannot be upgraded. .

  Probably, you need to boot in the BIOS of the computer and changed on the hard drive in IDE mode, SATA, so it can be recognized by Windows XP.

  Before that you plan to replace Windows 7 with Windows XP. Have you tried to familiarize yourself with the operating system first?

  If you want to run Windows XP, you can consider to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP. You first need to know if your computer is compatible with Windows XP. Much more modern computers are gradually support for Windows XP.
