[maranello]

try this, just realized: replace the ********** from the link with m e d i a f i r e . c o m

let me know how it goes

 

[Tagging Angel]

thankyou ..i will let you know if it solves the problem .........so that it helps others cos the tech from the hdd are no help at all...........;0)

 

[maranello]

yep, i know, i too went through a lot of trouble to solve my issue

hope you will do to

 

[Tagging Angel]

basically i have overwritten my vd and now it wont let me overwrite it again...........so it looks like i will need the main software to make it work.............

 

[maranello]

meaning what? when you run the vcd file i have sent you, what happens?

be aware, you have to extract the file to a separate folder and run it as administrator or better yet, take ownership of it before running it.

let me if it doesn't work, i'll try to make am image of the full vcd and send it to you

 

[Tagging Angel]

hi when i run the vcd file you gave me it brings up the virtual cd on the hdd which now has a copy of windows 8 on......and i cant re attach the file you gave me instead of windows 8 because its decided that the vcd cant be written over .......so how the hell did i do it in the first place ..........so ive been on line and bought the same drive and im gonna try and see if when i install the lifestudio software if it picks this hdd up again................hope this makes sence........;0)

 

[maranello]

you mean that you managed to re-write the Read-Only VCD drive that appears when you use my file to activate?

 

[Tagging Angel]

yes and it now wont re-write.............i thought if i created a new vcd and then tryed to find the hdd it might find it or if i could re-write it with your file then the hdd would be found but it wont allow me to redo it and from what i have seen it wasent supposted to in the first place...........

I can't seem to PM either...could you send me the link?

I tried "circumventing" the forum link filter, by just clearing out the "**********" with "megaupload"...but it still didn't seem to work...or that site is down.

 

[maranello]

here you go, let me know after you download it

Can you upload the file again? I tried to PM you my mail address, but don't know how to PM you. Thanks man!

At first it didn't work (Hitachi LifeStudio Mobile 320GB, Windows 8), so I ran it in Compatibility Mode for Windows 7 as administrator, and it worked.

Thank you very much!

 

[maranello]

Great to hear that, mate, glad I could help

My old system crashed and lost the file. Could you please resend this to me?
