  Hello

  Sounds like hardware and you cannot resolve hardware with the software. Check with the system
  Manufacturer of support, their books online, the diagnosis and ask in their forums (if
  There are). Or check with a real computer store (one who does on its own in-store service
  This brand and model of laptop).

  Remember that you can not resolve hardware with the software.

  Troubleshooting you can try:

• Disabling a hard drive in the Device Manager make it stop spinning and using power?

  If I go into DEVICE - DISK DRIVES MANAGER, then I right click on my second hard drive internal (not hand on which Windows Vista is installed, but my extra hard drive that I purchased separately and added inside my computer on a SATA port), and then click DISABLE, then can you tell me if this selected hard drive :

  1 stop rotating?

  2. always powered?

  In other words, DISABLING a drive hard internal in Device Manager stops it to use the power and spinning?

  The reason I ask is the following: I want to use this second hard drive only for backup, this is why I don't want to use the power and wear when I'm not a backup, in other words, almost all the time.

  Thank you!

  
  

  Hello

  Well Yes and no--or it depends on the BIOS - Controller - the inner workings of the drive and
  usually, they will follow this path:

  A Second hard drive uses the power when not used?
  http://www.ehow.com/about_5333434_second-power-not-being-used.html

  Don't forget there is a report which do not use the drive to maximize your comfort removes
  most of the advantage of not to use regularly to preserve its life expectancy, which is a little questionable
  anyway. If use you really only rarely, and then it does not start and stop much, then you
  could have extended his life (or not). If the drive is the size, it could be put to better use
  then extend his life a little reward compared to the optimization of its purpose.

  Here is a recent discussion however please note there is no 'right' way and certainly there
  is a roll in all methods.

  http://photo.NET/digital-darkroom-Forum/00VBXM

  "Generally" things that have the most impact on life in car (assuming that no default) are "generally" heat,
  so frequent starts and stops and finally use. The problem is it is almost impossible to
  really effectively control the last two unless you use rarely drive. (Problems of food can
  also impair a driver, especially brown outs (low power) and voltage spikes.

  I hope this helps.

  I have a laptop Samsung R710, who settled with Windows 7. The laptop came with a built-in webcam. I was not able to get a piece of software to recognize the camera. I did a system restore.
