A temperature probe is really necessary for the replacement of the hard drive?

I replaced the hard drive in my late 2009 iMac 21.5 ". In the OWC video, he calls for a probe. My hard drive is not one of the built-in ones. I was wondering if I really need or the computer will work fine without it?

Well without it your HD fan will be clocked at high speed all the time. The good news is that you can also control the fans/temp via the software. Here is a free software that works very well. http://www.eidac.de/

  • Is it dangerous for the HARD drive, the icon she samples D:\?

    Is it dangerous for the HARD drive, the icon she samples D:\?
    .. The example of the start menu button is also in D:\. (Classic interface)

    I downloaded the 'old' Nice and exchanged icons on my desktop.
    The user, workstation, trash ones and two new folders using the icons for them also.

    The question is - I moved these new icon samples in D:\ (which is not the main drive) and I was wondering if the PIN that reads the HARD drive is physically mobile all the time on one side of the disc to another. Because the icons are located in the D:\... and these icons are defined on elements that are found in C:\, lol!

    so I was wondering If it damage the hard drive (physically)!

    Please answer, thank you!

    Hi Kaloyan,

    Keep the icons in the D drive or any other drive which is not the main drive does not affect the HARD drive somehow.

  • Question of replacement for the hard drive MacBook Pro Late 2008

    Hello

    My MBP HD headed to the exit so I'll take the plunge and get a replacement SSD to install it.  Being not too tech savvie I'm trying to cover all the bases before starting the replacement so I think I'm OK to get to the old and a new one outside.

    I read that a clean install of Mac OS X is recommended.  The plan is to install the new SSD and connect the old HD the MBP for a speaker for the migration of files once the SSD has been formatted and installed operating system.  One of my questions is what OS can / should I install in the first place on the new SSD.  I have the Leopard installation disc that came with the MBP, I also have a Snow Leopard install disc I bought (this is the version 10.6.3).  Start with the Snow Leopard disc or do I have to install Leopard first?  I would get the new OS SSD up to version I'm currently on (10.7.5).

    My other question is around RAM.  As part of the upgrade, I plan to replace and max of RAM, I've seen is now 8 GB between the two slots.  I read what the maximum capacity to 8 as part of an update of the firmware.  So the question is: should I do all updates of OS before installing the RAM?  The MBP would difficult treat 8GB if the firmware update is not installed through the different software updates that will be needed once the OS is installed on the SSD?

    Advice/suggestions appreciated.

    See you soon

    Replace the RAM can be done at any time. If you have already downloaded the firmware required, it has already updated your material and will not be lost when you replace the hard drive. However, according to Apple, your computer can manage only a 4 GB. I could be missing something...

    See here: MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) - technical data sheet

    As far as your OS issue, the best thing to do is get the updated software to match the information that you are migrating back (to make sure no problem with migration). The best way to do it, is to download recovery disk wizard and install it on an extra USB key. This allows you to install Lion without having to install Leopard or Snow Leopard first. This will also use disk utility to format the new SSD correctly.

  • The recovery disks do not work for the hard drive replaced in my Presario CQ4010F desktop PC

    Hi all

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ4010F Desktop PC (Windows 7 64-bit) in which the hard drive went bad. I bought a new hard drive which is a 1 to, the failed drive was 500 GB. So, I ordered disks system recovery, four in total. The disk labeled 'Use this first!' appear to be running fine, then prompted me to launch the next disc, which I assume is the 1 of 3 system recovery disk. With the computer, always, I inserted the CD 1 of 3 and have waited and watched as nothing has happened. I restarted the PC with the 3 disc 1 again and that will inspire nothing happened. Any help is appreciated in this matter.

    Hello:

    If you can't get the recovery disks to work (don't make sure that the keyboard, mouse and monitor are connected), then you can make your own windows 7 installation DVD and use that to at least get windows 7 installed and your PC back to the operation.

    Here's how.

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  • What drivers are REALLY necessary for the 230 x?

    Hi guys,.

    I recently bought the 230 x - it's great. I also bought an ssd with it and replaced defaultt with the ssd hard drive and did a clean install of Windows 7.

    I have 2 questions:

    -the drivers are REALLY essential for my device? Visualize the page drivers, there are a LOT of drivers that can be installed, but I think that some of them are not really necessary, because I don't want to slow down my superfast x 230.

    -are there a way to download all THE drivers both in place one by one?

    Thank you in advance,

    Mustafa

    Hello and welcome,

    I can't tell you which drivers necessary for what you want to do, but the best way to get them is to install ThinkVantage System Update.  Run it and it will present all the appropriate drivers for the download and installation.

    You can review the details of each before you download and decide which ones you want.  Only, check the box for those that you want and let TVSU download and install to a slap.

    [edit] It is a pure opionion, based on nothing else than my preference: I'd rather live with the installation of Lenovo for awhile and see what I like - and then uninstall the stuff I have not.   IMNSHO, the initial indigestion is not that bad on a ThinkPad.  OTOH, depending on the size of the SSD, a clean installation may be the way to go.

    Concerning

    Yes, it will support a 500 GB or HDD Terrabyte 7200 RPM 2.5 inch SATA. Your installation can be transferred to a new larger drive using cloning. There are several programs that can do of CLonezilla (free) to pay software like Acronis True Image. Need you a SATA to usb adapter to hold the new player during the clone process.

  • Too big for the hard drive from the photo library

    My iMac has two internal drives - a hard drive of 250 in the solid state and a disk of 1 TB of data.  I am trying to import about 80 GB of photos. To be able to access on my other devices Apple iCloud, I know, they must be on the HARD DISK, but I don't have enough room due to the large number of iTunes files already there. Is there a solution to this? I wish I could share all my photos between the office, the iPhone and the iPad. Thank you.

    Launch of iPhoto, Aperture, or Photos with down option, create a library on the external hard drive, and if you use pictures, set it as the system library. The volume used to store the must be in Mac OS Extended format.

  • Pavilion G6t-2200: replacement for the hard drive g6t-2200 problem

    Original hard drive failed completely. Have inserted 3 different drives in this laptop and BIOS doesn't recognise it, even a brand new 500 GB drive.

    Any suggestions on how to get this pc to recognize a replacement disk would be appreciated. I buy HP recovery CD and they do not work on it because of this problem.

    PS the pc was working fine until the original disc is dead so I suspect not the motherboard.

    See if the BIOS is set on and switch to whatever that is not defined on the secure boot or inheritance.

    Hello, I put a new 1 TB HDD in my laptop of co-workers for her and comes to know there is no adapter on two hard disks to connect to the motherboard, where can I get one of these adapters? I saw a post not a few minutes ago, but he didn't say where I can get a.

    NO, I don't want the caddy, I mean the slip which connects the SATA plugs weird connections inside the bays 1 and 2.

    In addition, why in the world did you choose to use these connections owners, have you tried to set a new standard or something? Now, my co worker must wait for God knows how long it will take to get his laptop in working condition.  I'm so happy that I chose Custom build my personal computers.

  • Problems with my XPS 1530, think it's the hard drive

    I recently had some problems with my xps 1530. The screen freezes quite often. Okey it no worries, I'm really used to it since my last pc was 5 or 6 years ago when I bought a new, but it does not seem to recover after this freez. I have no way to turn it off except by pressing the power butten for several seconds. I'm no expert, but I don't think it's good for the hard drive. And seriously, I'm tired of doing too many times. In any case, I decided to run a disk check, although it usually runs after reboot in this way. When he starts checkup automatically after a reboot, like that, there are only 3 steps.

  • Conclusion removed the hard drive

    Our "old" laptop teacher at work will be used by students this year so our IT team has removed all hard drives.  Unfortunately, one of our teachers made a mistake on the external hard drive backup and lost his papers. The info was accidentally recorded on the hard drive... not the external drive. All hard drives (hundreds and hundreds) are now randomly laying in boxes.

    We can find the laptop that was hers, but is it possible to find the serial number for the hard drive that had been in it? Are the serial numbers for the laptop in any way linked to the serial number on the hard drive? Just try to find every way possible to help him.

    Not sure about the BONE... probably the latest or next to last.

    Thank you!

    There is no correlation between the installed hard drive and MacBooks in which they have been installed. Then the next number in the series could even have another brand of disc.

    Frankly, I can't remove these drives. A single pass of erasure with writing zeros would be crushed everything (but it takes all afternoon). Crushed once sufficient for everything but nuclear secrets.
