  I'm looking to get a bigger hard drive for my Thinkpad Edge E430, and I have two questions.

  The current drive is a Toshiba MK5061GSY - SATA 300. This is 0.4 inches high. I'm looking at a WD Green WD20NPVX - SATA 600. It is high 0.6inches.

  1. What size is the HARD drive Bay? Fits in a drive that is 0.6 inches in height?
  2. A disk SATA 600 is backward compatible with SATA-300 port?

  Thank you.

• Satellite C872D - lack area of HARD drive recovery

  Hello

  When I want to Toshiba Recovery Media Creator allows you to create recovery DVDs I have an error message:

  No HDD Recovery area! Toshiba Recovery cannot be enabled.
  What should I do?

  That's big problem now.
  Generally each laptop comes with preinstalled operating system contains the original recovery saved on the HARD disk image.

  For some reason any pre-installed recovery disc creator Toshiba cannot find and access the recovery image. I don't know why this is happening on your laptop, but it can happen if the recovery image is deleted, moved to another location or structure partitions of HARD drive has been changed.

  What can you do now? Nothing. All you can do now is to order the original restore disc and use it to install the original image of recovery designed for your laptop model.

• Replacing the hard drive on X100e

  Hello

  the hard drive on my ThinkPad x100e broke up recently. The guarantee is outdated, so I decided to buy a new hard drive by myself. Are there restrictions with the exception of the size (2.5 ") and interface (SATA II)? I mean, it is possible to use the HARD disk with the capacity and the highest rotation speed?

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  There should be no restrictions on the size and speed.  I've personally used as large as 500 GB drives in my X100E.  Given the problems of heat known with the X100E you can check the output heat and power consumption of the drives you plan and take one with lower values.

• Qosmio G25-AV513 - can't find the 2nd HARD drive

  The G25 AV513, isn't supposed to have 2 drives, one with 120 GB and the second with 60 GB? I see only a drirve in "My Computer".

  I erased my computer and re-installed Windows XP operating system since the original CD Toshiba I chose option 3 "Striping" of readers. I'm supposed to see the two readers in "workstation? I have a total of 180 GB of memory? According to 'My computer' I see the C: drive and its total capacity is only 111 GB.

  I also tried to reinstall the operating system using two other options, option 1 using installation default Toshiba who said I can mirror to another date by using RAID, but I got about 45 GB of memory with this option, and it was the same for option 2, although about 45 GB.

  Once again, showing only a drive in "My Computer".

  This seems to be a series of Toshiba laptops we.
  I searched a few details and found the info on the Toshiba page we:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com

  There are two hard drives (2 x 60GB)
  You can check this in disk management and you will find the available disks.

  I think you can see that a single (120 GB) HARD drive in my computer, because the two hard disks are merged because RAID settings in the BIOS!

• Failure to upgrade the hard drive T30 - blinking cursor - will not progress

  I have trouble to upgrade the hard drive on my Thinkpad T30.

  I'm trying to upgrade a 40 GB hard drive to a hard drive of 250 GB.  (New drive is the EVE of Western Digital WD Scorpio 2500 b)

  I used the Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to clone the drive.  Unfortunately, when I insert the new drive in the computer, booting stops and is at the level of the blinking cursor.

  I used the tools of Lenovo's PC to test everything.

  I have used Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to check the hard drive.

  I've updated my Bios and embedded controller program.

  When I start the computer and press F1 to access the Bios, the sign more shows next to the hard drive.  I understand that this means that the Bios recognizes the hard drive.

  I went into Setup to choose the hard drive as the boot device, but the computer still hangs at the level of the blinking cursor.

  When the new hard drive is connected to the computer by usb in an external case, it shows that the contents of the old drive is copied to the new drive.

  What should I do now to solve this problem and get the computer to boot from the new drive?

  A program, often recommended by the ortegeluis is Easeaus Disk Copy freeware that can help you.

• Identify the second hard drive

  I have a Pavilion dv7-6175us contained a 750 GB hard drive on the card.  At this time, HP sold some similar portable with dual 320 GB drives, but none has been mentioned on this issue on this model.  So I predicted, there would be a free Bay on the disc.  Yet there are two disks.  I checked the HP System utility and on records, he lists a disk 0 with 4 partitions: (0) 199MB, (1) 684 GB, GB of 14.34 (2) and (3) 102,87 MB.  Under the heading of disks, it shows a 684 GB C:, D: 14.34 GB (recovery) and F: 98.87 MB (FAT32 HP Tools).  Nothing lists a disc 1.  Can someone tell me what is the second disc?

  I did some additional research for this series of laptop and came across this maintenance and service guide.
  http://goo.GL/C3uNc

  Page 6 lists configurations available hard drive that came with this series. According to her, the 750 GB configuration is a double hard drive configuration. However, this adds not enough upward. It is noted that the maintenance and care guide for all series within the d7-6000 family.

  Two hard drives of 750Go total, they will have to be 375 GB for each hard drive following the common practice of using two identical hard disks.
  375 GB is not a standard size or that I've ever seen for a hard drive.

  Looks like that hard disks have not been removed after reviewing a previous post. Because of the conflicting information from HP sources, would it be possible for the two drives be removed temporarily to inspect? I suspect a step maybe a hard disk but a shell of one to serve as a placeholder.
  Once removed, the hard drive must be written on them. If they are both hard drives, please post back the size displayed on them. As I have already said, standard RAID practices should not lead to 750Go.

  I really hate for your purchase of hard disk to be in vain.

• Why do not the remove-hard drive remove a disc with a new SCSI controller?

  Hi PowerCLI gurus,

  I try to use PowerCLI to automate the solution for article configuration of disks to use VMware Paravirtual (PVSCSI) SCSI adapters (1010398).

  Remove-hard drive sometimes gives me a misleading error when I use it to remove a hard drive with a new SCSI controller.

  The FlatHardDisk specified 'Hard disk 3' no longer exists, or never existed.

  Can anyone here explain the error?

  My version of vCenter server is 5.1.0.

  My PowerCLI version is 2.0.

  Here's what I've done to reproduce the error.

  First of all, I connect to vCenter and stop the virtual machine.

  $TestVM = 'TESTVM '.

  $TestServer = ' vcenter - test.local ".

  SE connect-VIServer-Server $TestServer

  Stop-VM - $TestVM VM - confirm: $false

  I add a new hard drive and store it in a variable so I can refer to it for the next steps.

  New hard drive '.

  -VM $TestVM '

  -Persistent persistence"

  -Flat DiskType '

  CapacityKB - 1024'

  StorageFormat - thin '

  -OutVariable TempDisk

  I make a note of its name.

  $TempDisk.Name

  Because my VM already has 2 discs, the output is "hard drive 3.

  Then I add a new SCSI controller on the hard drive.

  New SCSI controller.

  Hard drive - $TempDisk '

  -Type ParaVirtual '

  NoSharing - BusSharingMode

  Now, I try to remove the hard drive from the variable to remove the disc.

  Remove-hard drive - hard drive $TempDisk - DeletePermanently-confirm: $false

  It fails with an error that says "Hard drive 3" has already been removed.

  Remove HDD: 12/02/2014-18:51:33 remove-hard drive the FlatHardDisk specified 'Hard disk 3' no longer exists, or never existed.

  On line: 1 char: 1

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: Client20_VirtualDeviceServiceImpl_TryValidateDeviceExists_DeviceDoesNotExist, VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.RemoveHardDisk

  But I see that there are still "hard drive 3"!

  Get-disk hard - VM $TestVM - name 'hard drive 3.

  CapacityGB persistence Filename

  ----------      -----------                                    --------

  0.001 persist... B-DATA-01] TESTVM/TESTVM_9.vmdk

  Is this a bug or am I missing something?

  I don't think that the cmdlet uses actually the UID, but more likely a MoRef to the vSphere object that represents the hard disk.

  Remember that under the covers most of the PowerCLI cmdlets do calls to the vSphere API.

  Change the Uid, property value indicates that the hard drive connected to the new controller is a new and different purpose.

  And this explains why the hard drive remove does not work with the original hard disk object, it no longer exists.

• Series Edge (E) internal second hard drive

  I was wondering if users of portable Edge series or E are using / used a second internal drive?

  Officially, their sales staff, in this series of laptops feature to replace the optical drive with a hard disk has been removed. Their tech staff said when I asked. There is no official Lenovo adapter for E series, but some are available spare parts. Is that what someone has successfully used a Lenovo HD adapter in their E series? What the aftermarket ones? What were your experiences?

  Side note: I doubt that the feature has been removed. Optical and hard drives are same. Because it's an entry-level computer, it would cost more to remove the option rather than maintain and publicly asserting that it does not work.

  I doubt that they will remove the possibility of using optical drive SATA for HDD device connector. There is also the slot m2 you can use a SSD NGFF. I used 3 internal hard drive on my ThinkPad E520 and E530.

• R51 new HARD drive will not restore factory correctly state with discs

  I caught a HDD of 80 GB on old computer my gf, and I thought I would use it to replace the 40 GB hard drive in my ThinkPad R51.  There is not really important info on my old hdd, so I just created a factory recovery disks, put on the new hard drive (both are PATA) and ran from Rescue and Recovery.  After completing restore to factory state all the new hard drive will do is Rescue and new Recovery charge.  It does not load Windows.  Is there anything else I need to do?

  Shot in the hip here, but ISTR that some versions of R & R restore the image of 'restoration' in HD, then you restart to R & R and run a restore it to complete the restore of the rest of the car.

  As I said, just something I've seen elsewhere.  Worth, perhaps,

• MacBook not detect External Hard Drive

  I have just started using MacBook 12 "with usb port c, I got with my mac usb c normal usb converter, I tried with the memory stick and it works not, but with my 2 external hard drives to detect anything or even show in disk utility, please help.

  Are external hard drives in the self-powered speakers, or are they

  useful for a response be searched; several answers may exist.

  You have this card?

  • USB - C Digital AV Multiport card

  Sometimes different adapters are needed; other times a hub with

  options, if you have more ports than the original; and all the

  would need primarily to use USB - C. Including the AC adapter.

  Not all power cards will allow the adapter 29W would be used; so

  Depending on the choice or availability of other versions, you can

  not be able to use the product. Also, not all USB - C for other type

  plug adapters are of equal or reliable quality. Check it out see.

  • Using the USB - C port and adapters on your MacBook (retina, 12 inch, early 2015) and later - Apple Support

  A memory stick requires no power to the rotation degree

  hard drives in external enclosures will be; so if these external HARD disk

  units have their own adapter, which should make a difference.

  And if so, you may not have had a problem. There may be other

  problem behind the situation you are facing.

  There is a built-in to the computer in his OS X; diagnostic test but

  that can't help if the problem is a device adapter.

  Don't know what else to say...

• Problem of storage space satellite L305-S5962 HARD drive when installing XP

  Hello

  Last week, I ordered two TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5962 for my children and finally happened yesterday.
  I was so glad that I found all drivers XP needed for it on Toshiba USA website, however something weird happened when I went to install XP over there.

  It came with preloaded Vista and while under Vista, I checked the HARD drive space it is said about 250 GB (240 - ish), but during the installation blue screen boot XP it read C 131 GB only partition.
  So, if you round up to about 130 GB, where the other 90 GB's?

  This problem has happened to these two Toshibas, and read the two HDD substantially the same.
  In Vista, it reads close to 250 GB, but when installing XP blue screen (once I turn off the AHCI setting in BIOS) it reads at 131 GB. Is this some kind of driver issue? or to issue OS with AHCI?

  On the Toshiba site there are two HARD drive drivers, are a .exe and the other a .zip file.
  I tried both in the XP installation CD of nLite, but it does not help.
  It still reads GB 131, so now I have no idea what to do, or maybe I have something wrong during the splicing of nLite?

  In any case, if anyone has some insight on this problem, please let me know.

  Thank you!

  -G.P.

  P.S. Here is the link to site from USA, for XP SP2/SP3 drivers, HARD disk drivers.

  Even once, if someone has seen, thank YOU!

  > I checked disk space HARD it is said about 250 GB (240 - ish), but during the installation blue screen boot XP it read the partition C 131 GB only.

  The HARD disk is partitioned into 3 partitions.
  The first partition contains OS preinstalled; Vista
  The second partition contains the image of Toshiba HDD and the last third partition is hidden. It s a small partition created by Vista and it contains the backup files. These files can be used if something goes wrong with Vista OS or if Vista needs to be repaired.

  So I guess you've seen only the first partition that contains the operating system Vista
