Any tool of hard disk available?

• Windows Boot Manager, I want to change the Configuration of hard disk

  I have a computer with two former 500 GB Hard Drives.  The "Legacy" operating system is installed on the first physical hard disk in the system and Windows 7 is installed on the second physical hard disk, they are the identical WD drives.  I bought a new Seagate Barracuda 1000 GB drive, I want to use in place of the mark.

  So currently I have:

  SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

  SATA-5, score 0: 500 GB Windows 7

  With the new player, I want to:

  SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

  SATA-0, Partition 1: 500 GB Windows 7

  I have disk imaging software, able to copy both disks to the new partitions on the new disk.  What I want to know is how can ensure me that I continue to get the start menu to see the two operating systems.

  Of course, I will still have the old hard disks available, and I can always put them in.  It's just that the cloning process takes a long time, and I would like to have my procedure in advance.  The first time I have start the system with the 1 TB drive, it will not be a disk of 500 Go SATA-5, score 0: in the computer.  I don't know which files must be modified to search for Windows 7 in the new location.

  I shouldn't need to do a reinstall of windows.  I think I found the answer to what I was looking elsewhere.

  I remember that two years ago, when I set up the Dual boot system, I followed these instructions:

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/8057-dual-boot-installation-Windows-7-XP.html

  When I did, I had a dual boot menu:

  -Old Version of Windows

  -Windows 7 Professional

  Of course I meant "Windows XP" rather than "earlier Version of Windows.  I searched and found that a tool exists to modify this menu.  I don't remember what they called the tool when I presented this request.  I was pretty sure that the tool would allow me to have the change of start menu where he sought the installation of Windows7.

  Today, I found the name of the tool, it is called BCDEDIT. EXE.  It allows you to safely edit the menu file, and startup locations resemble the old file boot.ini of Windows NT days.  Here's what the tool then generates on the command line.

• Satellite Pro 4200: is a Toshiba Software to check available HARD disk?

  Hello

  My 4200 Pro Satellite got too hot and the hard drive was struck by who (scandisk stops at 84%, very slow data access). Is there any available Toshiba Software with which I can check the HD and get a diagnosis?

• Equium U400-145 - where is the HARD disk protection tool?

  I just bought an Equium U400-145, and in the manual it says there is a Protection of the hard disk utility and properties are accessible from the icon on the toolbar or via the start menu in Toshiba - Utilities.

  There is no icon in the toolbar and without Protection of HARD drive in the start menu. Protection disc HARD drivers are on the C: drive, but when I try to install I get a message HDD Protection is not supported on this model. It's strange because the download from Toshiba site lists the Protection drivers from the HARD drive for this model.

  Any who have HARD drive Protection works on this model or know if it should work?

  I have a U400 to and protection of the HARD drive is not available on all models of laptops U400.
  The user manual has been created for all the U400 laptop models and it of possible that your U400 doesn t support this feature!

• MacBook pro cannot detect ANY hard disk

  Greetings,

  I have a 13 macbook pro (mid-2012 a1278) inches and when he start shows the folder with the question mark. I think that bad hard drive, so I get a new drive, drop it in and then try to start a recovery from the internet.

  After connecting to the internet and download the recovery image, I load disk utility, and he does not see the new hard drive. Am I a bad disc, I wonder?

  So I drop the old drive in a hard disk enclosure and connect to an another macbook, and that is, I can see all the files. I put the new drive in the caddy and it can detect and partition/format the new drive.

  Thus, the macbook can not see any hard drive.

  This seems to be functional in the case, as I can load the internet recovery image and exploit all the basic functions (Restore disk, time machine, access to the network, keyboard and mouse, etc.)

  It will not just to see the hard drive.

  I've never had a hard disk controller macbook to go ahead without him taking the rest of the macbook with her. Am I missing something?

  Your MBP may very well have a bad hard drive cable.

• Install XP: Setup did not find any hard disk installed

  I have this old computer. When I try to install Windows Xp, it says that Setup did not find any hard disk. I have readers of diskette and cd on the computer. A source told me that I need a SATA RAID driver until I do.

  Windows XP
  AMIBIOS
  MSI

  Correct, you will need to download the appropriate TXTmode drivers and put them on a floppy disk. If you have a MSI motherboard in your system, you will get these drivers from MSI.

  It would be also possible to get Windows to load with a change in your BIOS settings, but I recommend that get you the correct drivers.

• Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 - HARD move available disk protection software?

  Hey all.
  I have Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 m 8.

  some laptops for most of the newer mine, even with other brands are equipped with a protection system of the hard disk as the Lenovo ThinkVantage. I wonder if this is just a software or integrated into a thing of material inside the laptop so that the program can fucntion properly. If you have a similar software for my laptop model in the case of the software only, OR you can supply one for me?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  If the Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 would support such feature then you will find the necessary software on the European driver Toshiba page.
  In most cases it s called: HDD Protection Utility.

  Many but not all Toshiba notebook supports this feature.
  My U400 supports and I could find the necessary software on the Toshiba driver page.

• FAT32 option not available to format the hard disk during Windows 7 installation

  I have a computer of Windows 10.  The owner wants to put on Windows 7.  I change the hard drive on the mbr to gpt.  But with the BIOS to TPG, I read that it, the bios would accept FAT32 hard drive.  I don't seem to have this option only NTFS.  Question: How to format a drive in FAT32.

  Hi John,.

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  Before you begin, note that the FAT32 file system has size limitations. You cannot create a FAT32 partition greater than 32 gigabytes (GB). In addition, you cannot store a file greater than 4 GB on a FAT32 partition. If the partition you want to format is larger than 32 GB, NTFS format may be a better option.

  However, I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.
  Reference:
  Format
  https://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730730.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

  Important notes:
  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes all the data on this subject. Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin.

  Additional information:
