  I installed again but did not know that the previous facility where still there.

  I tried to clean the disc, but I don't me "from previous versions of windows" to clean.

  I find no windows.old file. (Enabled hidden files)

  Only I have a disc ssd 60gig and want the missing 35gig kindly returned to use.

• S50 satellite - B - 15 p - it is possible to add addional SSD or HARD drive?

  Hello

  I recently bought a laptop Satellite S50 - B - 15 p.
  I'm very happy with it

  My question is about its SSD drive
  It is now 128 GB.

  It is possible to add addional SSD or HDD.

  Or replace the current by the new with a higher capacity.

  My best regards

  I don't have this model of laptop, but according to some pictures I found isn't Googling around this model of laptop SSD? HARD drive covers in the lower corner, therefore, as a general rule, these updates is not supported and should not be done by the owner of the laptop.
  If you want to have full access to the SSD, you must remove the lower cover and it can be done by authorized personnel only. If you try to do it yourself you will void the warranty.

  In my opinion, you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help or, at least, good advice what to do about it.

• I have a mac 2009 i (late), I want again to install snow leopard (I have the disc), but my driver disk is broken! So I want to ask if there is a way to create a disk image of my windows pc to use it through the hard drive of my imac Lord?

  External DVD USB drives are cheap. Usually $20 for a good quality player. Just buy one of these at Best Buy or another store and use it to install Snow Leopard. Then you also have a drive for something else that you have on the disk.

• 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.)

• Dual-boot Windows XP is installed on the external hard drive

  My computer has Windows XP and Windows 7 installed. I added a hard drive with Windows XP is already installed on the computer.

  In order to access additional hard drive, I need to change the priority of the hard drive in the BIOS.

  Is it possible to add a boot option to the Boot Manager screen so that I can boot from the additional hard disk without modifying the BIOS settings?

  First of all, to the best of my knowledge you should not change anything in the bios to access the external drive.

  Second, if Xp has not been installed on the external hard drive while the drive is connected to the computer in question it will not be loaded. Simply, it does not work like that. Even if you install Windows on the outside when it is connected to your computer, I don't think it must configure the boot.ini file, giving you the ability to dual boot when the computer is turned on. You can boot from the external drive provided however your bios supports booting from a usb key. I think that to accomplish what you want, you will need to remove the hard drive of the external envelope and attach it to your computer using an eSATA cable. Then it will be recognized as a regular system disk.

• New computer that is running Windows 7 does not recognize my external hard drive completely

  I bought a new PC with windows 7.  I use an external hard drive with USB to move the files from the old PC (XP) to the new PC.

  When I go to 'my computer' focus on the external hard drive storage devices is not displayed.

  When I go on my devices, the external hard drive appears.  When I look at the details on this HD and pushes to execution, windows States there are no problem.

  The clues of what I need to do so that I can look at the files on my external hard drive?

  Thank you

  Hi Andre,

  I've struggled for some time with this one, here's how I finally solved it.  Apparently, USB drivers for mass storage devices was not compatible with my external hard drive.  I simply uninstalled the USB drivers for mass storage devices, then plugged my hard drive.  Automatically downloading appropriate drivers, and I was good to go.

  Just thought you might want to know that.

• Windows could not complete the format (external hard drive)

  I use windows 7 64 bit and my external hard drive crashed and has converted his car to RAW format rather than NTFS

  I tried to solve the problem by changing the name of 'L' discs to other letters and retry the format without success

  I also tried to use the disk management format and changed to an optimal device

  And also I tried using diskpart.exe

  This has not just to reformat the drive, so I can use it I do not have the information about this because it's still all on my computer any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

  Hello
   
  
  could a. you give us the exact error message and the error code, if any?
  b. what commands did you tried the diskpart utility?
  c. I recommend to do the full format rather than the quick and check.
  d. also try to format the drive on another computer and check.
  
  I recommend you to use the clean command to remove and format all partitions on the external hard drive and check. See the article below for more information.
  A Description of the Diskpart command-line utility
  (This article is valid for Windows 7 too.)
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/300415
  Note: Run the clean command, you delete the content and the partitions on the external hard drive.

• My previous version of windows (which is already installed on the hard drive) will erase if I boot from a bootable USB. Please help me!

  I have Windows 8 is installed and an iso of Windows 8.1 on my USB.

  My previous version of windows (which is already installed on the hard drive) will erase if I boot from a bootable USB. Please help me!

  When you upgrade to 8.1 Windows it will replace your Windows 8.0. The only way I know to have both is to buy a copy of Windows 8.1 and install on another partition or drive.  Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

• Install Windows 8 - cannot find my SSD disk hard - HP envy 4 ultrabook - 1046TX

  I downloaded the upgrade of windows 8 for $14.99 and have managed to create a boot usb device. I was able to run the installer until the stage where windows has found hard drives. I have an SSD and windows is unable to find it during the installation. Can someone help me? I have a HP ENVY 4 ultrabook...

  Same problem here. I think it is a driver problem. HP people are those who should solve. It seems that other people have the same problem (http://windows8forums.com/windows-8-installation-upgrade/11607-cant-install-win-8-hp-envy-4-1046tx.html). And someone has solved through HP!

• 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!
