  • Windows Vista will not see Seagate 320 internal drive to format

    I bought a 320GB Seagate (7200 RPM) opportunity and I'm trying to install Vista on it. The computer BIOS sees the drive, but loading Vista it does not show the HD as an external drive and ask drivers for it. The disk has been previously formatted for Mac.

    Try to use SeaTools for Windows.  See also: Seagate Installation Assistance

    Please note that the hard drive needs to be internally mounted inside the computer because Windows Vista will not install on an external hard drive.

    Hey Brian39

    If you change the motherboard that you normally have to reinstall vista

    your hard drive if you ever reinstalled vista contains the drivers for the old motherboard etc.

    and if vista is pre-installed you can not put the motherboard unless you do so in collaboration with the computer manufacturer

    If a retail license, you can change the motherboard

    but you will normally always reinstall vista for reasons

    Hi Ron,

    To provide the proper resolution, that I would need more information on your side.

    1. What is the name of the program that does not open?

    2. What is the accurate and complete error message?
    3. when, exactly, you get this error message? It is by running the program or the installation of the program?

    This problem can occur if the program is not compatible with Windows 7.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you try to open the program in compatibility mode. Check if it helps.

    Make older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, you can try to install XP Mode and then try to run the program in XP Mode.

  • Windows 7 will not accept any ati driver and catalyst control center at the same time.

    I tried a number of ati drivers. My card is a 4870 x 2 2 GB edition. The driver that windows installs will not accept any CCC.

    I did also install CCC and only driver left. I tried to play Everquest 2, first game to install, and it crashes before the charge, gives me an error of ref dx9.

    I'm assuming that windows 7 has the new package dx so I shouldn't have to reinstall that. I downloaded some of them however.

    I'll try a restore and see if it works. If I could go back in time and never bought this o/s I now.

I tried to go back to an earlier date using System Restore, no results. Can reset the computer by default, there is work in the F 11 key and then recover my files. Do I need a recovery disk?

    Thanks for the reply. I made the. Backup of files Wizard. At the end she asks 'Please insert the USB key' - I suppose to download files on an external drive. Well I bought an external drive and connect it to the USB port, nothing happens. He said only: "no available drive. What should I do now.

  • Windows Vista does not accept my password (unchanged) but I have no recovery disk - Windows is already installed

    Hello

    As the title says after using my laptop without any previous problems, suddenly I can not connect on Windows Vista.

    I'm 100% sure that the password has not been changed, caps lock, shift, caps lock Num etc is not active.

    When I bought the laptop, Vista was already installed, so I don't have a recovery disk.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

    This is the Information from Microsoft on the problems of passwords;

    You will need to borrow a Microsoft DVD from a friend, Recovery DVD a manufacturer without these special work options available.

    If you are unable to connect to Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you can use the Windows Vista System Restore feature, or the Windows 7 system restore feature.

    You may be unable to connect to Windows Vista or Windows 7 in the following scenarios:

    • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
    • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
    • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
    • Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

    Malware can also cause problems with passwords:

    Download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:

    And here's how to go in Safe Mode options; Select safe mode with networking from the list of options:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    If the above does not fix it:

    Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    Thanks, Terry

    I don't have a solution to your problem of "dvd".
    I have a suggestion:
    Forget to take the backup of files with dvds.
    Buy an external hard drive and use it for backups of files.

    A hard disk of 1 TB post can be had less than $100, to the Canada. The United States will be even less.

    Thanks to the external hard drive for backups of files, you don't have to sit by the computer and feed it with DVD whenever he asks. You can walk away. The computer will do its thing without you.

    A 2 x 4 in box will store all your files. No DVD more formatting. No more marking each dvd. No stacks more DVD.
