How do I initialize a new from WD HD in my HP laptop?

Hi,  My HP laptop hard drive went south.  I need to know how to initialize a replacement.  I have a set of Recovery Discs I made 4-5 years ago.  Will they initialize, partition and format the new hard drive or do I need a WD utility and which one(s) if I do?  I had trouble trying to 're do' the old drive.  If the discs are corrupt, what WD utilities do I need to do the job?  FYI, the new HD, on order, is a WD7500BPKX. Thanks inAdvance for your help.  bob03

HP recovery discs will NOT format, partition, and/or initialize a drive. You must do that first. First go to hp.com and download all current device drivers for your hardware and copy them to a cdrom or USB flash drive. Use only the first HP disc, the one containing the Microsoft OS, unless you want all of the "extras" HP loaded onto your PC. Then install only the necessary device drivers from the cdrom or USB flash drive.

  • How do i sync the songs from my iphone 4 to my laptop

    how do i sync the songs from my iphone 4 to my laptop it will sync photos and apps but wont sync songs i have bought

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

  • How do I transfer my songs from my old computer to my laptop? They are both the same iTunes account

    How do I transfer my songs from my old computer to my laptop? They are both the same iTunes account.

    These are two possible approaches that should work to move an existing iTunes library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where computer has died with no backup then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    How do I transfer a rental from my iphone 5 to my laptop?

    Sorry, but you cannot. If you rent a movie or show on your iPhone, you can only watch it on your iPhone. If you want to watch the movie/show on your laptop, you'll have to rent it again.

  • How can I get imported pictures from my ipad 3 to my laptop?

    Pretty much what the quetions states - "How can I get imported pictures from my ipad 3 to my laptop?"
    I've imported a load of pics from my Nikon D40 to my iPad 3 (ios 6.1) using the iPad camera connector. 
    So far so good.
    However I cannot sync the pictures to my laptop (win 7).  I would like to be able to keep the albums I have created, and get them to the laptop too.
    If a restore was required I might lose thee pics.
    Any advice or apps recommended to help me?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve Potter

    To copy photos to your computer that were copied to it via the camera connection kit (or taken with it or saved from emails/websites) then see this page (as far as I know you can't copy their albums) - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard

  • Anyone know how I can transfer my playlist from iphone to Itunes on my laptop. Computer had crashed. I am unable to export. I had backed up songs to icloud which are now on my laptop however without the original playlists folders?

    Anyone know if I can transfer my playlist from iphone to Itunes on my laptop.
    I am not keen to sync my iphone to my new laptop in case it wipes out my playlist.
    My Computer had crashed so I am unable to export a playlist.
    I had backed up songs to icloud which are now on my laptop however without the original playlists folders?
    Any suggestions?

    Hello CDA ENT
    I would turn off the automatic syncing so that way you can see what is on your iPhone. From there, you should be able to see what is on your iPhone and then can export out the playlists and then import them back to your library. I would also recommend backing up your iPhone before going through with this process. To export a playlist, have it highlighted then go to File > Library > Export Playlist…

    Open iTunes Preferences and select the Devices tab. Select the option to prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.

  • HT1766 How do I save the music from my iphone 5c to my laptop?

    Hi,
    How do I save the the music from my iphone 5c to my laptop?
    Thank you.

    Hello daisyruth,
    If the music on your iPhone 5c was purchased from iTunes there are two different ways to get this music to your iTunes library. You can either connect your iPhone to iTunes and transfer the purchases or you can download your purchases directly to your iTunes library from the iTunes program itself. The following articles will help you get that music to your computer.

  • How to do initialization for new system setup?

    Hi, Experts:
    I need your help! Can you tell me your suggestion please?
    This is a new system setup. We are about to test on the Initialization/Delta process.
    The data source is 2LIS_13_VDITM 7.0 version. The test is on the PSA.
    I have done an EARLY Initialization. On R3 system, if a billing record is canceled, we are able to capture it in the RSA7. Then, we did a delta load which were successfully tranferred to BW system.
    However, if I created a new order and push it to Billing, I am NOT able to find it on RSA7 of the Delta queue.
    That would mean, the delta queue could not capture any new billing records.
    Then, besides the early init, we tried to do an Initialization without Data Transfer in the hope that this could resolve the new records issue, it doesn't allow to do it, saying "no 2 initialization".
    What is the right way to do initialization??
    Thanks guys!!

    Hello Sylvia,
    Changing it to new delta mode need not clean out everything in BW.
    its a change in R/3 side on how delta records will be pushed.
    Delta queue will remain the same in R/3.
    But since you have already missed some records and you are not sure which one.
    Also the existing records in the delta queue are not the correct one as these are not bringing new records according to you.
    So I will suggest you after you have done the changes to queued delta....do a fresh start.
    Delete the data from the DSO.
    1)delete the existing and do a new init without data transfer so that a new delta queue is created.
    2)Fill the set up tables first and start the full repair loads to DSO.
    3)once all the history is loaded then you can schedule the delta.
    Thanks
    Ajeet

  • HT1688 How to transfer photos and videos from my iphone to my pc laptop?

    Hi,
    I have a pc laptop and a iphone 3GS. How do I transfer the photos and videos from my iphone to my pc?
    Please help.
    Thank you!

    I've seen posts before from users that report their computer suddenly stopped seeing new photos on their device.  I'm not sure what the solution would be though.  At least we know it's not a connectivity or usb device driver issue.
    You could try transferring your photos (and videos) to your computer wirelessly using an app like PhotoSync.  Once transferred, delete them from your phone to eliminate a possible data corruption issue that may be causing this problem.  Then, if you still want the photos on your phone, you could then transfer them back using PhotoSync.
