  for the past 6 months that I had to use a return to the top of the boot disk to get windows to load so I could copy all my important files and documents on DVDs as my windows xp edition home sp3 OS suddenly stopped wanting to load normally and I'd just reformat the HD

  Last week... my browser froze causing me to have to stop by turning off the power button... to restarting my pc, my cd-rom drive is not found and now I am unable to finish to copy my important files and these DVD

  is there anyway I can repair windows without using the cd-rom drive... .. I can get in the F12 boot menu but not in the installer of F2 or F8 safe mode without using a cd-rom drive to launch the boot disk

  2.2 under Win XP home edition sp3 dell xps 210 system, intel duo core processor 4 GB ram and 500 GB HD

  It has only 1 CD/dvd-rom combo drive and 4 smaller slots for memory cards and other... I have 3 slots open usb but do not have the files of windows to a flash drive recovery

  would it be possible to make a recovery file or file on a USB stick the size of a flash drive and boot would need... currently the largest one I have is 4 GB

  Hi storm36,

  You must have the Windows XP disk to repair Windows. As the CD/DVD drive is not getting detected, we recommend you try the following steps and check the result.

  Step 1: Check if the device is detected in the BIOS (basic input/output device)
  a. start your computer and press on delete key continuously to see the BIOS.
  b. check if the CD/DVD device is detected.
  c. If this isn't the case, then unplug the unit and he reconnected inside the CPU/Tower.
  d. check the result.

  Step 2: If the device is detected in the BIOS, try the following steps:
  a. start your computer and boot to the desktop.
  b. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc, and then click ok.
  c. select my computer, click the Action menu and click scan for hardware changes.
  d. check if the CD/DVD device is listed in the list.

  Step 3: If the problem persists, restore the computer
  see How to restore Windows XP to a previous state .
  b. Once you have restored the computer, check if the CD/DVD drive is visible.

• Windows that display only a 1 TB SATa drive 32 GB

  Hello. Recently, I tried to upgrade my HP dc5700 small Form Factor PC XP Professional SP2 to Windows 8 Pro. A disk read error occurred during automatic reboot, which meant that I couldn't finish the upgrade. I had to restore the system using my HP recovery DVD, but that did not work, so I chose the format & recover, which seemed to work until I realized that I only had 32 GB of available disk space on the hard drive of 160 GB. I thought it must be a hard drive problem, so I installed a not 1 TB hard drive and reinstalled from the recovery disc. But the problem is still there. I checked the BIOS and I have the latest version: 786E2 V02.09. Any ideas?

  No problem. As I had everything backed up in any case, I decided to cut my losses and installed Windows 7. Problem solved :-)

• 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.)

• Windows Media Player does not recognize external DVD drive - so how do you watch a movie DVD?

  I just connected an external DVD - RW drive in my ultrabook of Windows 8 for the first time.  The ultrabook recognizes the drive and the dvd movie which are, but Windows Media Player only - only says: "connect a device".   The resolution of the issues said that the drive works properly.  I can't copy this movie at the video store, because it's a borrowed DVD.  So, how do WMP to recognize the DVD drive and play the movie?

  Hi HWH-CED,
  DVD playback is possible in 8 Pro windows media center. Player Windows Media 8 has no native codecs DVD added to it. You have the option to purchase an update for your Windows 8, which is Media Center Pack to allow playback of DVDs on your computer.
  * Note: Media center pack is only an upgrade for existing computers to Windows 8.

• Windows media player does not work as no driver DVD

  Had to format drive (trojan) & reinstall Windows XP home. Now Windows media player does not work as no DVD driver download from Toshiba site?

  Hello

  Usually the Windows media Player is not able to read DVD movies IF no plugins were installed.
  To watch DVDs, you can use programs such as WinDVD or PowerDVD.
  These programs are designed for the DVD play!

  But you can also visit the Microsoft Web site and search plug-ins for Windows Media player.
  Then you can download and install to play a DVD with WMP

  Best regards

• Windows 7 detects no not my external hard drive

  Hard drive problems title: original external

  I'm having a problem with an external hard drive (Toshiba Multimedia Center Gigastore) who worked with an old laptop on XP but that died a death now, I have connected the player to my last laptop with windows 7 and switching market gives used 'ping' say it has detected a USB connection on my laptop, but then nothing happens.

• Satellite X 200-20 s - Windows 7 recognized only two speakers

  After having upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit, but I work notice that the audio driver only recognizes the option "2 speakers", and the subwoofer is no longer. I tried the latest driver from the U.S. site, but still no joy, everyone has found a solution for this?

  NIC

  Hello

  Why you checked Toshiba page we? I searched a bit on the Europe of Toshiba page and there I found your laptop and there you can also download all drivers:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  You should try the driver 64 bit Vista from this page. Maybe it will work

  By the way: you have installed the correct version of the BIOS? From Toshiba Web site presents two different versions: one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit.
  Make sure that 64 bit latest BIOS is installed.

• AT300 recognizing only not SD cards restarted.

  Hi all.

  Recently got a Tablet AT300 largely because the SD slot full size (a rarity in tablets). My intention was to load images from an SD card in my digital camera directly on the Tablet, however encountered a strange problem.

  When I put a card camera SD in the SD slot, the Tablet does not notice it unless I can put the Tablet market again. When I put the card in, the section of 'Storage' shows only the internal storage - external SD card appear not at all. However, if I reboot the tablet with the SD card still in it, she then "notice" the SD card and entered storage (with option to 'disassemble').

  It seems that it will only detect and mount an external SD card * if * the card is in the Tablet during startup. Don't know if it's all simply down to a lack of functionality 'plug-and-play"in the Android operating system or something else - if it is a fault with the unit, I need to know, so it can be returned during the warranty period.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  I think that it is a usual procedure for Android devices.
  The device must be turned off before inserting the SD card.
  I have an Android smartphone that support the mini SD card.
  The phone should be turned off until the SD card is inserted.

  Then if you want to remove the SD card, you must first take it apart.
  Go to applications-> the settings-> storage-> Unmount SD card
  Then you can remove the SD card in the slot!

• Exe in 32-bit Windows XP works only not in 64-bit, Windows Vista

  Use the demo version of LabVIEW 8.6 since internet downloaded and Windows XP 32 bit OS. I have developed an application and creates an exe file which communicates with a card reader to USB chip. This exe file works fine with this USB device in Windows XP 32 bit OS.

  But when I used this application exe on Windows XP 64-bit OS and also in Windows Vista 64-bit OS, the application does not work. Communication with the USB smart card reader is not at all to establish. The USB device will be appropriate driver 32-bit and 64 - bit automatically when updating on various operating systems.

  How to solve this problem? I have to install all the drivers 64-bit for LabVIEW?

  Thank you

  Its often the simple thing miss us

  In fact, my application developed in WinXP, took always dll to the folder "data" and not the c:\windows\system32 folder. In Winscard.dll of Vista is different from the one in the WinXP. That makes the difference. The application now works when I manually copied the directory system32 under WinVista winscard.dll in the folder "data" application.

  Is anyway to do this without copying? This means, that I need the application to load the dll into the system32 instead of the folder directory "data"? I hope that I was clear?

  Thank you
