• Burned correctly data CD is no longer recognized, R4000 laptop

  It is a Presario R4000 with a DVD/CDRW drive (GCC-4243N), running XP Professional SP3.   I burned of data and live linux CD (all CD - R) with this machine and used about before without any problem.  I also use the same CD on several other Compaq computers without problem.   Now, this machine refuses to recognize any CD he previously engraved (CDFS file system) but it will recognize that all commercially burned CDFS CD including HP repair restore CD, disk driver D-link, the MS OS, Apple CD repair disks, etc.  It recognizes also any CD in UDF format.  I know that it is not directly related to XP because I can start some favors Linux from USB keys and they cannot recognize CDs engraved on this machine either and but can recognize the comercial CD also.  If I remove the hard drive and set the BIOS to boot from the optical drive, HP CD boot repair only, my live linux CD engraved on this machine (they do on other machines); rather, they go into an infinite loop that I can break with the pause button.   I have a boot drive ultimate for windows that uses a XP (Bart PE) preinstall the operating system, and oddly enough it makes also a loop but much more slowly so that I can select options in the start menu and run them from when the drive works perfectly (this is a CD - RW).

  Has anyone seen this type of behavior?

  How can I tell what BIOS of motherboard and drive firmware issue?

  Is there available utilities to assess the integrity of the ROM in question?  I want to recover backups of them, calculate hashes and compare to HP, if I can get a clean copy.

  It is a problem with the laser in the CD player. The fact that he made the same everywhere in the OS' you must mean it's material. You can probably find a DVD burner for this machine for eBay $25 and so forth.

  The case holding the Maxtor no longer works or the Maxtor drive itself is a failure. Your first step is to contact their technical support.

  http://www.Seagate.com/www/en-us/support/

  It is a perfect illustration of the reason why you cannot rely only on an external hard drive for backup. You have to burn to DVD - R on occasion or using a service like Mozy offsite backup. Hard drives are mechanical devices, and like any other mechanical device, they can fail.

  If Maxtor (Seagate) tech support determines that your hard drive has failed, you can still get the data on it, but only by sending the drive to a professional data recovery company. I use Drive Savers for my clients, but there are others. Professional data recovery is quite expensive, running with an average of about 2700 $ $500-$3500.

• Y50-70 - USB Reader and card reader no longer recognized

  I have Lenovo Y50-70 (running Windows 10) and my WD My Passport Ultra external drives are more recognized (they worked fine until 3 days ago). My card reader CF is no longer recognized either. My Samsung Galaxy S5 works well.

  The WD My Passport drives Ultra both my card reader still work with my older ThinkPad, which works in Windows 7. This isn't a disc problem, or a cable problem.

  When I look in devices and printers, the WD My Passport Ultra appears. It has the following warning sign for troubleshooting option. When I troubleshoot it comes back telling me that the driver is not installed. Continuing, he finds the driver, install it and asks to restart the computer. After the computer restarts, the drive still does not appear.

  When you look at the properties of the drive, it says that the driver is not installed and an error code 28 the list.

  Comment to Moderator: The model is added to the object for clarity.

  Thanks Bill - Sorry for not being specific. Both my WD drives (which have no external power sources) that my card reader does not work. I tried to remove the drivers and rebooted the computer, but none of it works.

  You can try to restore to a date (three or four days before the problem) and see if you have the problem solved.

• Installation of XP is no longer recognized by the Setup disk after Format of Partition

  Hey all,.

  In short, my problem is that I have an installation of XP (home or professional) intact windows, but after deleting another partition, the computer does not start to it. My question is what are all the things needed for a computer can be started on the windows partition - even just to the loading screen (which files are needed on the partition, for example boot.ini file, which must be in the MBR, how to mark a partition as bootable; etc.). Here is a description of exactly what has happened and what is the current situation:

  I was working on a friend's computer, and he asked me to delete the partition that it has not been used (D) and melt in his primary partition (C) where was the installation of Windows. I used a program called Easeus to format the partition for Windows let me to merge. The program asks for a restart, and then it is initialized to a screen where he deleted the partition, then restarted once again, probably to load Windows.

  That's where the trouble starts. Instead of windows, I have nothing else than a cursor flashing ("_") in the upper left of the screen. After 60 seconds, nothing was. I rebooted a couple of times, still no windows.

  The first thing I tried was to throw the disc to reinstall the window. I got to the screen configuration and supported on entry to choose a windows installation to repair, however he could not find one on the drive C (or D). I then tried to install Windows on drive D, hoping at least to be able to access the files on your computer with a parallel installation and then clean things later, but the installation struck a BSOD (sorry I don't have the message). The last thing I tried using the recovery console, but the only one installation of Windows that he found was on the D drive (I guess it was the remains of the failed installation that I had tried just because it contained only a few system files).

  So I still need an operating system to access the files on the C drive, so I did an installation of Fedora Linux (on a small new partition in drive D). I could check on the files and they were all intact, including the Windows system files. I could not find anything wrong with the partition, except for the apparent absence of a file boot.ini on drive C. I tried to add a boot.ini file by default (even though I wasn't sure exactly what should be in it). I can only assume that when my friend had the computer built with partition by a local technology company, they did the D drive partition bootable, but put the Windows files on the C drive. It makes no sense, but I can't find any other reason format another partition that windows would make it unbootable.

  The problem is, now, I have GRUB installed to Fedora. GRUB cannot boot directly on Windows, so he has to begin on an another bootloader that can. I think I have GRUB pointing to the right partition, but I get an error message. So, what I want to know from a point of view of Windows is everything necessary for a successful boot, assuming I can get GRUB to work on his end. What should a healthy Windows boot look - exactly, what should happen?

  The other option, of course, must do a fresh install of Windows on drive C (and hope for no BSOD more). I could put all the files on the partition of Fedora and move them back after the relocation. So what you think - is it worth a try even to save the current installation of Windows?

  Feel free to ask questions or for clarification. I have a limited capacity to test things, I have to wait until I can get to his computer. Your help is very appreciated!

• I try to install vista on a computer running xp. XP does not even recognize the vista disc is in the drive. XP recognizes any other drive that I use and the vista drive is recognized on other computers, that I put it in it's not a prob with the disk or cd

  I try to install vista on a computer running xp. XP does not even recognize the vista disc is in the drive. XP recognizes any other drive that I use and the vista drive is recognized on other computers, that I put it in it's not a prob with the disk or cd rom

  The Vista installation disc is a DVD. Apparently, you don't have a DVD player. You would need to purchase/install a DVD-ROM or DVD - RW to install Vista. Are you sure that your hardware supports Vista before doing this?

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/get/system-requirements.aspx
  Even if a minimum of 1 GB, the requirements in the real world Vista requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM to run without problem. You will also need Vista drivers for all your hardware.

• Three laptop computers and benefits

  What are the benefits of having three laptop computers (two panoramas purchased in 2007 and 2009 and a W7 in 2010)?  Since I have access to computers outside my home and at work every day, I use these computers portable "home" to the local library or Starbucks, or at home, for a total of about 10-15 hours per week.  In view of the 'rule' on the purchase of a new computer and also my interest for the loading of black & white oldie films on You Tube, much more quickly than in 15-20 minutes, I'm going to start EXPERIMENTING with one of the three computers laptops etc. 5-7 years, I have now and barely use, IN DESINSTALLANT about half of the 65 PROGRAMS & FEATURES and turning OFF also about 50% of startup items , as well as the Services OF BOOST PERFORMANCE & SPEED and I hope that load much faster films.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  You should ask AT & T company, your Mobile or cable what they offer. 0.6 MB/s is slow for me. I live on a mountain and only high speed available here is cell. Cell phone is expensive but my speed is great to 21.6 Mbit/s and only because I live near a tower. Distance and movement affects the cell speed. Your best bet is cable.

  Can I subscribe to Acrobat Pro DC and load it on my desktop and laptop computers with one subscription?

  one single-user subscription lets you install your programs cc on an unlimited number of computers.

  the only limitation is that you can only sign-in (and so start your adobe programs), at most, two computers at a time.  But adobe's sign and so easy is not important if you have an internet connection.
