• Satellite A50 543: Questions about upgrading the HARD drive

  I'm looking to upgrade the internal hard disk on my A50 543 to 100 GB at 7200 RPM. The original drive is a Fujitsu 60GM 4200. I have found no information on the Internet on other readers line CMS that have been tested and found compatible with the A50. I need at least 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM to edit video.

  Suppliers meet usually only with so many laptops on the market, they cannot test each hard drive with any laptop, but can tell if it is compatible with the specifications of the computer and the hard disk specifications and are so confident that their information is accurate that they offer a money back guarantee (excluding shipping costs)

  My question is
  (1) how can I be sure that the drive will work (considering the high international shipping costs) to 100%?

  (2) none of the contributors to this forum may recommend a hard drive internal 5400 RPM or more it has installed on the same model specification?

  Thank you. You are my last hope

  Best regards

  Hello

  If you want to be 100% sure that works on your HARD drive, so I think the best way is to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Here, you can order all the devices and parts compatible and supported.
  I also found these Toshiba hard disks that must be compatible:
  HDD2187B 20 GB 4 200
  HDD2190B 40 GB 4 200
  HDD2193 40 GB 5 400
  HDD2189B 60 GB 4 200
  HDD2194 60 GB 5 400
  HDD2188B 80 GB 4 200
  80 GB 5 400 HDD2191

  In this case, you can use a disk HARD of GB 5 400 80 but I put t found no information about 100 GB of HARD drive.

• Satellite A200SE - Questions about upgrading the HARD drive

  I am trying to upgrade the disk of 60 GB to 250 GB. The operating system is Windows Vista Business. The new drive is a Western Digital Scorpio SATA.

  1 - image backup of the disk system external HARD using backup/restore Vista
  2. use the system recovery disk to reload Windows.
  3 - the disk is formatted and Windows installs apparently. (From recovery disk.)
  4. after reboot, Setup is aborted with message saying (roughly) "Setup cannot continue because of the configuration".
  5 - as usual the message gives no indication as to the cause.

  All the tips and forums involve replacing drive HARD is simple. Does anyone have an idea?

  Ideas would be very appreciated!

  Hi scamp126,

  I m wondering recovery disc doesn t work because usually this disk still works, you install a new HARD drive

  What you can try is a Microsoft Windows disk. Perhaps that the recovery disk is scratched and the files can't be read properly.

  The use of the recovery disc will set the laptop back to factory settings.

• Replace the hard drive and OS re - install Inspiron One 2330

  Hello

  I had my all-in-one desktop Inspiron One 2330 for about 18 months.  I see serious problems with the hard disk, the system hangs, and the event log is full of HD playback errors.

  ePSA diagnosis shows code 200-0142 telling me to replace the hard drive.  The chkdsk utility runs and sometimes corrects problems and sometimes clean.  Such problems at low altitude, I'm surprised that I can start far enough away from launch internet explore and write this message.

  I called Dell support and they were kind enough kindness to send me the original floppy Windows 8.1 for the Inspiron 2330.  I have a disk hard solid state ready to install, and I saw a bunch of great videos from YouTube that explain how to open the case.  The HD swap is not a big deal, but I have a few basic questions.

  I know that many readers here know the answers.  Thanks in advance for help...

  1. If I install a blank HD in this installation media machine Dell recreates all of these crazy Dell partitions?  I have not of much use for them until I ran the diagnostic ePSA and it was extremely helpful.  I hope that you will tell me that if I do a fresh install, I get a new partition ePSA addition to 8.1 Windows on my replacement drive.

  2. I do not see why this machine won't support a SATA SSD SanDisk brand new instead the 1 TB hard drive that came with it.  Is it OK to use SSD drives in these Machines from Dell?

  3. have good links for the operating system Dell re - install procedure?  I will be installing Windows 8.1 on this drive.  Strangely I find no procedure to re - install step by step operating system.

  4. I have read that the activation key for Windows is now integrated into the motherboard of the machine somewhere.  Do I need to enter this key when I re-install?  I don't see all the stickers on my machine with the key.

  Thank you for your help,

  I finished the upgrade SSD in my Inspiron One 2330 with very little trouble.  Here are answers to the questions for those who find my post using original research.

  1. the Dell Windows 8 installation media disc does not any recovery disc partition, new, retail.  If you install fresh by booting from the DVD drive, you get a nice clean install of Windows 8 without any extras Dell.

  It seems that the diagnosis of ePSA is hosted on the motherboard of the system and not the hard drive.  I have had no trouble to boot in diagnostic mode to run tests of ePSA, even if I see any Dell diagnostic partitions.

  If you install fresh from Windows 8 media you definitely lose the Dell recovery partition.  No big loss.  It is a little strange to wait the software stored on the hard disk to help you recover problems with the same hard drive.  I'll just do another clean DVD media installation if this happens again.

  2. my SanDisk 256 Gb SSD is impressive.  It costs ~ $80 on Black Friday, and now my Dell Inspiron One 2330 boots in 9 seconds.  This is measured from fully powered down for the moment, I type my password to connect.  9 seconds - crazy fast.  Modernization of the best ever.

  3. my internet search found many useful message board posts, some web sites and blogs.  Unfortunately there is no official Dell Reinstall procedure that I could find.  The complete replacement of unplugging the power to see Windows 8 on the screen by using a new SSD was about 70 minutes.  I gathered the information I could find and guess the rest.  Worked for me.

  4 Windows 8 activation code is not necessary for a media of Dell Windows 8 re - install.  The installation process of Windows 8 should be reading the key out of the motherboard because I've never been invited to type one in.

  Here are a few other tidbits:

  5. the Dell Windows 8 media support I was sent by Dell wasn't Windows 8 and 8.1.  I spent more time pulling down of updates, restart and then installing Windows 8.1 on the app store that I did replace the hard drive.  Don't forget: some updates depend on other updates being present.  Really, you need to run the Windows update utility several times to get everything down.

  On the good side of things, my restarts are now long 9 seconds.  I have no problem whatsoever reset to any indication that the system needs to restart to complete the installation of an update.

  6. after obtaining my update to 8.1 Windows system, I installed all the latest drivers for the Inspiron One 2330, which could be downloaded from Dell.  This figure includes a BIOS update which has been a royal pain to apply.  To do this I had to create a start-up separated from 'BACK' USB key.  In fact, it is possible to create this rudimentary special boot using utilities downloaded from Dell drive.  Locate the "diagnostic Distribution Package (DDDP)".  Good luck with that.

  7 Dell backup and restore has been completely useless for the replacement of my SSD.  I have had two drives bootable USB thumb complete with full system backups, the backup restore and Dell refused to restore my data on my Virgin SSD drive.  The error message has complained that my new drive is too small.  It was laughable: my original hard drive was something like 95% of free space.

  8. There is a bonus in all this: by rebuilding your system using the original Windows 8 media, you get a nice fast machine without the excessive Dell bloat-ware.  I do miss the software pre-installed in all.  Glad to get rid of it in fact.

• Problems with folder permissions after replacing the hard drive

  Hello

  Recently, I replaced the hard drive on my mac.  Already before the replacement, I got the files that I had locked.  Now I'm unable to open the file.  I get the error "the folder 'nom_de_dossier' can not be opened because you don't have permission to see its content".  I looked at the permissions for the folder and everything he says is fetch.  I ran a command in the Terminal and for one of the records in question, that's what I see-

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Running OS X El Capitan

  Try this first:

  Start the mac all holding the SHIFT key, it is slow, connection, and then select Restart from the Apple menu.

  When this does not help:

  Reset password utility in the recovery Partition:

  1. Restart your computer from the recovery partition.
  2. Open disk utility and run a repair permissions on your boot volume (in ElCapitan click the first aid tab). Once this completed, close disk utility. We do this for good measure.
  3. Open a Terminal from the Utilities menu. Type in resetpassword and select your user (NOT administrator system/root) account in the menu drop-down.
  4. Click on the Reset button at the bottom of the window ACL section and Reset the folder permissions.
  5. Exit the utility password and return to the main recovery menu.
  6. On your keyboard, press ⌘ + Q and restart your computer. It is very important that you don't hold down the power button to exit the recovery session, or the ACL Reset to occur.

• Equium A100-338, replacing the hard drive

  Hi, the hard drive from my Toshiba Equium A100-338 just broke down on me, and now I think to replace. Because I'm not good material, I thought I have ask for advice about it here first. Is this an easy repair that can be done on your own? If so, how can I know if my computer match which new hard drive? I know that I need a 2.5 inch Sata-150 and all that, but I'm not sure of the compatibility.

  In addition, it is worth the money to make repairs like this on such an old computer? I wouldn't throw it out when everything else seems to work very well.

• Qosmio X 500 - 10W - can I replace the HARD drive with another?

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio X 500 - 10W with two drive HARD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500 GB 5400 RPM 8 MB? SATA II but is one of the hs so I'm wondering if I can be replaced by a more powerful style, drive HARD 750 GB 7200 RPM / min 16 MB Toshiba courses?

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Your question is a bit hard to understand, but I think you want to replace the HARD drive with another (faster) model, right?

  Well, that s no problem. 7200 RPM hard drives works, they are a little stronger, but they're faster so if you need more performance without problem.
  750 GB or more are also no problem because the SATA interface is not the limited capacity. Theoretically 1 TB or more should also work.

  Anyway, you can buy the 750Go you mentioned that it will work. :)

• Replace the hard drive

  Hello

  I have a HP TouchSmart IQ826T and the warranty has expired. I had a hard drive failure and after you run several tests and diagnostic tests have determined that I need to replace the hard drive.

  My question is that I currently have a Seagate ST3500620AS 500 MB drive installed in my PC and I was wondering if I could change it to a hard drive more large capacity.

  I'm not an expert, but a novice all help from the forum would be greatly appreciated.

  I am running Windows 7.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello:

  According to the page on the card to your PC, you can ride on a 1 TB drive.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01640567

  I don't know why HP dropped the rpm on a 1 TB drive. I think a disk 7 200 rpm would be nice too.

  Below is the link to the guide of upgrade and maintenance.

  Hello

  This backup after pressing F11 is a HP backup option, not a Microsoft option.

  I suggest that you contact HP or ask their Support Forums.

  It's the normal advice I'd give to record data; but we have no idea of the State of your hard drive.

  Saving your files:

  You can remove the hard drive and put it in a hard drive USB enclosure > plug it into another computer > and try to read and copy your data in this way.

  Or, you can download Knoppix > make a bootdisk to > start your system with it (IF your material is all work) > and copy your data from the hard drive like that.

• Replace the HARD drive - same MODEL same vs P/N

  I intend to replace the HARD drive in my T30 with the same original title Travelstar.  There seems to be a lot of available.  It's cheaper to buy a disk without the caddy and I can transfer the caddy from the old drive.  I found the discs "naked" with the MODEL number matching (ICN25N040ATCS04-0) but the PART number is different (mine is 08K 1089).  Specs are the same.   Is a football match of MODEL number sufficient, or do the different p / n apply to different interfaces or other settings that should I worry about the?

  TIA,

  Dan

  as long as it is a form factor 2.5 inch PATA 9.5 mm disk hard drive then its okay. The travelstar disc is used in many different company machines, so the player you replace may not be a machine IBM/Lenovo, it might be just as likely a compaq machine, etc..

  But nevertheless, it should work.
