Since I upgraded to Windows 10 I have not been able to log on to Windows Escape, Cortana, Bing, and I have no sound. This did not happen immediately, but about a month later. I am seeing the mute sign, but cannot left click on it. When I try to install sound in the manager device, It states that I have no plug in and no service. It also states that the sound is working properly. I have many trouble shooting approaches, first unintalling and reinstalling. The left click on the mouse will not work, only the right.

Created an external USB recovery drive and my WD external drive lost capasity from 2TB to 32 GB.

My HP Z1 Workstation, with an internal solid state drive C: and Windows 10 Professional, has 314 GB used space and 149 GB free. The filesystem is NTFS.


I used “WD My Passport Ultra”, 2 TB from Western Digital, with filesystem NTFS, to create an external USB recovery drive with Windows 10.


The system files, 4.45 GB, on my workstation was backed up to this external drive. When it was done "WD My Passport Ultra" had lost capacity from 2TB to 39GB and the file system on the external drive had changed to FAT32.


Will there be a problem to recover my HP Z1 Workstation, with filesystem NTFS, from the recovery drive with filesystem FAT 32 ?

 

Can I restore the capasity of the external drive ?

 

Thank you for comment.

I have it for quit a wile I had some sluggish performance, so I decided to do a cleen re-installation of Windows 10

after rebooting it comes up

Intel(R) ...

RAID Volumes:

None defined

it then lists both of the drives as "Non-RAID Disks"

(press Ctrl  I for options)

 

then I get  an Error saying:

No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key

 

I tried to re-install windows with original CD's (Win 8) from HP but same results when boot up

 

what does that mean? does it supose to be RAID disk? I always had it as two seperated disks.

any help would be greatly apriciated

The systems starts blinking the Monitor after installing an update.

The following message was stated when updating:

 

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. driver update for AMD Radeon (TM) R7 Graphics - Error 0x8024ce2b

 

After a few boots/days the system seems to be operational again and in the update log I can see:

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. driver update for AMD Radeon R7 240

 

In the log I find many updates from

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. driver update for AMD Radeon(TM) R7 Graphics

and

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. driver update for AMD Radeon R7 240

 

How can I stop this or make it a correct update?

Can I replace my 685.5 GB Hard drive with a 12 GB one?

I have a Seagate Hard drive with 685.5 GB  AND Processor   4GB Memory  Computer Version 8,862.3.0 (6/29/2011)  I have Windows 7 Home Service Pack 1  

I don't want to upgrade to a newer version of Windows.  I like Windows 7 just fine and don't need the headache of learning a new OS even if it didn't have all the glitches that I have been reading about.

 

I was thinking about applying for a work from home job and the computer requirements say that I need a computer with 12 GB Hard Drive.  

 

Can I replace my current hard drive with a 12 GB one, assuming that I could find one?     Is my computer too small?

 

Too old?

 

Also, I have a 12 GB HP Recovery Drive (D) with only 1GB Free.  Is there any way to delete most of the info on the recovery drive (leaving  only the most recent information,) to free up more space?

I have an older HP Pavillion P6313. PC crashed, hard drive failure. Replaced HD and the CD/DVD Rom drive as both reported hardware failures. I made 3 recovery discs when I first got PC.

Inserted disc 1 and it loaded and was refomatting HD when process froze.

Do I now have to wipe the drive and start again with recovery discs?

Or, if the recovery disc 1 were corrupt could I get another and how?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as well as a good leaning experience.

Thank you,

Hello help desk,

I am planning to buy an HP Z420 or Z620 and want to pair it with a GTX 970 but I have concerns about incompatible power supply connectors. Please answer the following:

1) Will GTX 970 work in the Z420? Z620?

2) What power supply connector adapter, if any, will I need?

Thanks,
