• Taken to the backup of the windows operating system 8 in a USB key (as a recovery drive) but...

  Hello

  I recently bought a Lenovo laptop, Y510p, with operating system Windows 8 unique language. The guy in the store who says his best to take backup of the operating system in a recovery USB disk and said it will take at least 22 GB of space. So, I bought a 32 GB usb 3 pen drive and stored the backup in there, but to my surprise, it took only 13 GB of space. Now, can't do anything with the space remaining on the USB key. My doubt is that, after 6 months or a year, is possible to move the backup content immediately of this 32 GB disk in an another USB 16 GB of space and the boot through it?

  Hi Natasha,.

  I understand that you have created a Windows 8 USB recovery disk and you found it took only 13 GB of your USB 32 GB. So, you want to know if you can transfer it to a 16 GB USB key and delete the one that you have created on the 32 GB drive so that you can use the drive for other purposes.

  We are not able to transfer the recovery image that you created on your USB stick 32 GB on an another USB. However, if your PC comes with a recovery on the hard drive partition, you simply copy the image recovery of this partition on your USB drive 16 GB and can use it as a recovery in the future.

  The recovery image is stored on a recovery partition on the hard drive of your computer. Windows 8 built-in tool lets you copy this partition recovery from the PC to the USB key. Please refer to the article below:

  I have an acer aspire one NET accountant comes with windows 7 Home premium preloaded in it. But my hard drive crashed and does not connect when I start the computer. It shows the PXE M0F message.

• Why windows.edb uses half my 512 GB SSD

  I use Windows8 64 bit and my main HARD drive is a 512 GB of HARD drive.  This is the C drive and contains Windows itself over all my program files.  Data, including multimedia files, downloads etc. are on my drive D, a 2 TB HARD drive.  Relatively standard setup I think.

  I find the windows.edb (in programdata\microsoft\searchdata\applications\windows) file is actually using 211 Gb of my SSD!  Exact number is 210 825.1 MB

  He is half of the total use as I'm up to 40 GB freespace.  What is happening and what can I do about it without having to buy a larger HARD drive? !!

  Go to settings / change PC settings / search...  There is a search button cleaning history.

  I could also go to control panel / indexing / advanced... and press the Refresh button.

• How to install Windows XP on Portege S100 home after HARD drive crash

  In my laptop s100-s1133 of a HARD drive crash. I buy a new one. Now, I can not intall OS (Windows XP). Windows is not installed, because it does not find my HARD drive. I got downlad drivers for toshiba (Toshiba RAID driver for XP (v1.3.8.0, 10/04/2006; 465 K)). After the installation of win98, it cannot detect the CD-rom...
  Y at - it a recovery for this model cd? or can say smb, how can I install WinXP on this model

  Hello

  You are right that you must install the first RAID driver before installing the operating system.
  If you have installed the RAID the installation Win driver will ask you to format the HARD drive.
  In this case, do NOT format the HARD drive because the RAID driver will remove and it is not possible to install the Windows XP.

  Now your question Win98; is on the page of the Toshiba driver you will find not all drivers for Win98 for this device and I assume that you need a particular driver for the CD/DVD drive to activate this device.

  I give you a warning regarding the use of the WinXP

  PS: On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the installation instructions. Follow this guide!

• Installation Windows 10 using ISO DVD - what drivers and HP sw?

  I upgraded to Windows 10 laptop, (ProBook 650 G 1-W7pro 64-bit), and I had a few problems with the Wi - Fi connection that I am trying to solve, that's why... I rolled back to Windows 7.

  I would like to do a clean update using the Windows 10 ISO. My hard drive has four partitions, I would like to erase Hp Recovery partition and Hp tools, in this way I can install W10 on C and then all my data and music on a new partition.

  ...

  But if I switch to Windows 10 using a DVD with ISO... then I lose all the HP software? is it not?

  HP Client Manager of Securety (I use fingerprints), HP Softpaq etc.

  I think that I can download from the HP site on all software and drivers, I need... but will it work?

  Is it too "radical" to use an ISO of upgrade to windows 10 and delete everything I have on the C?

  For example, now I can access BIOS by the Security Manager HP customer... and then?

  I hope that I explain, I speak very well English!

  See you soon,.

  Just move the content of HP_TOOLS to C: If you want to reclaim the disk space and delete this partition.

  If it bothers you, then leave it alone.

• Windows on Satellite M40-276 - no visible HARD drive installation

  Hello

  Since the end of the week, I had time to start my Toshiba Satellite M40-276 (PSM44E)...

  I installed Windows XP Pro, I don't remember installing any kind of SATA/PATA drivers, but unfortunately Windows Setup does not recognize the hard drive installed, which was never changed.

  Now, I have discovered that the hard disk sometimes does not appear in the BIOS?
  Is there any type of driver that I can download and include in a Windows installation CD?

  When I start the laptop with Knoppix 5.1.1 I can copy and access to all files on NTFS formatted disks, the hard drive itself should be well (im checking with HDD Regenerator v1.51 on a Boot CD for the moment).

  And I have another question - y at - it an update of the BIOS for the Satellite M40-276 (PSM44E) which can be flashed on a boot CD? On the official homepage I can only find the update of the BIOS Windows :(

  Thanks for your patience...

  Best regards

  Robert of Austria

  Hello

  Have you tried to reinstall the OS from the Toshiba restore CD? Or did you use the clean Windows XP CD?

  AFAIK the M40 supports a SATA HDD and the laptop was equipped with a SATA HDD controller.
  Windows XP with SP2 should recognize the HARD disk properly.
  If your XP doesn t contains SP2 and include it using the program nLite

  > And I have another question - y at - it an update of the BIOS for the Satellite M40-276 (PSM44E) which can be flashed on a boot CD? On the official homepage, I can only find the Windows BIOS update

  No, only the win-version of the BIOS is available on the Toshiba page!

• When you try to re - install Windows XP, it does not detect the hard drive.

  Hi all. I tired to do a reinstall of Windows XP today. It seems to take a lot of time, and then I did a very stupid thing. I turned off the laptop that I had to go. Now when I try to start the laptop on the cd, I get as far the screen where I have to press on enter to install Windows XP pro on the system or press R to repair. The problem is that there is now no facilities to choose from in the box below and the system is not recognizing the hard drive. I can't even as much as the screen to format the drive. When I press ENTER to install windows xp, then I get a blue screen telling me that the system shuts down to protect my pc. Is anyone able to tell me what to do to solve this problem please. Thank you very much in advance for your help. Noel

  original title: I did a stupid thing... Windows XP Pro

  Sounds like a hard drive problem then. Your drive is maybe defective. First of all, you can use the partition of diagnostic Dell (F12) for its determination.

  In case there is a SATA problem, press F2 to enter the BIOS and change the setting of hard disk SATA to legacy. (Might as well try this first.)
