Aspire xc-603 I can install an ssd with the preinstalled hard drive

I have an acer aspire xc - 603 with a 2 TB hdd.  I was wondering if it was possible to install an ssd also.  Are there links for an additional SSD as well as preinstalled HARD drive or I have to chose to have either an SDS or hard drive?  Thank you

Your PC has only 2 SATA connectors, you will need to choose if unplug the DVD or HARD disc drive to install the SSD.

  • Satellite A100 - 065 (PSAANA) - can I spend it with a SATA2 HARD drive?

    Hello Forum!

    I want to upgrade to a hard disk of 120 GB (Hitachi) to a 500 GB (Western Digital). I don't know if this A100 supports SATA2.

    I think it's to do with the hard disk controllers that are on the motherboard. This is information I don't think (using the pc Wizard). I am very happy to use a SATA drive, if it is the one which is compatible, but if it supports SATA 2, then obviously I would install a because they are 3GB of bandwidth instead of 1.5 GB as SATA.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated that my hard drive is full.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    You can use a SATA2 HDD without problems. These discs hard are compatible downgrade to the old SATA1 standard, so you can use 500 GB HARD drive, as you suggested.
    But don t forget it will not work with SATA1 speeds, but this should not be a problem normally.

    So have fun with the new HARD drive! ;)

    Good bye

  • Cannot install Windows 8 on the replacement hard drive

    I got the replacement from Dell hard drive which he said would come with Windows 8 and pre-installed drivers. Well, I installed the hard drive and he said no. OS can be found. I didn't have a chance to make my own backup discs, but Dell sent a CD Windows 8 recovery media with the laptop and now with the replacement hard drive.

    When you try to install Windows 8 on the new hard drive, I get to the part where it tells me to choose a partition to install Windows 8 on and none of them will not let me. There are 5 to choose from and I don't know what to do to get past this. The largest partition either 5A about 934 GB of space left out of 1 TB, but as I said I can't choose it or one of the other ones for the installation.

    You just have to click on next, in any case, despite the message?  Otherwise:

    Start on the DVD of Windows 8, instead of install now, click repair your computer, Advanced Options, invites ... when it opens, type the following:

    DiskPart
    Select disk 0
    clean

    Then, try to install.

    The above will remove all the data partition and disk, allowing you to do a clean install on an empty drive (these scores are not required, and Windows will create its own partitions (two) he needs to install and run).

  • Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive with USB operating system recovery?

    I have an Alienware 2015 15 which does not come with a CD player. I install a new hard drive (SSD 2280 m2), so the question is how to install WIndows 7.

    While Microsoft offers an OS IOS for WIndows 8 download that you can put on a USB (with dell, I think that it automatically pulls the product key of BONE off the coast of the motherboard?) this IOS download is not available for Windows 7.

    So the question is the recovery USB OS offered by dell will allow me to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the laptop even USB from recovery of the BONES came with. My last resort is to buy a new copy of windows 7 and a USB external CD/DVD drive.

    TLDR: OS Recovery USB offered by dell will install Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

    The factory restore USB will work on another drive. I did this procedure with the media created from the latest version of Dell backup and restore on my Inspiron 13 7347 and demonstrated the creation of media and installation on a new SSD:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/Dell-backup-and-recovery/

    Since you are using use Alienware Alienware Respawn. Alienware respawn is very similar to Dell backup and restore.

  • Satellite U840W - replacement SSD with current hybrid HARD drive

    I have this model U840W with a hybrid HARD drive (500 GB + 32 GB SSD cache), I would like to replace it with an mSATA SSD. My warranty is left about 2 months... I understand that if I open the bottom cover, the guarantee may be cancelled.

    Read the following thread:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=68779

    What I don't understand is the "live in the mid under foot rubber", what is the best way to remove it? This seems to be the real challenge. A directive (preferably with photos)?

    Thanks in adv!

    Hello

    I wouldn't recommend allows you to replace the hybrid HARD drive on your own even if hand warranty isn't valid anymore.
    Why?
    Because the after replacing a drive HARD or SSD, RAID and TSRI (quick start of Intel technology) mode will not be available.

    To rebuild the factory RAID mode and allow the TSRI, special tools are needed and this can be done by the authorized Toshiba maintainer.

    So even if you would be able to remove the bottom cover and hybrids of HARD drive, the new inserted SSD would not be able to achieve the best performance.

  • Dell Inspiron 3520 - hard drive failure - how to install Windows 8 on the new hard drive

    I bought Dell Inspiron 3520. My hard drive has stopped working completely. It was stated as dead hard drive by diagonstic center.

    I have now bought a new hard drive but have lost data and windows 8 preload on the original hard drive. Dell did not provide any recovery disk for Windows 8 pre-loaded on portable hard drive. How can I then install windows 8 / 10 on my new hard drive?

    The .iso image file official 10565 has only:

    • Overview of the House of insiders
    • Overview of the Insider Pro

    Unfortunately, there are 5 editions of Windows 10 and so 3 are missing. If your key is not automatically entered and accepted, it's probably a simple language edition or edition N.

    When Microsoft release 10586 - TH2 - 1511 Version they will probably have an .iso that contains all 5 editions in 1 .iso or alternatively 5 .isos distinct (I hope as the first case that it will make Windows installation much easier).

  • Install Windows 7 on the second hard drive

    Hello

    I'm new to this bear so please with me. I have a new machine that is running Windows 8.1 and I have 3 hard drives in the machine. What I'm trying to do is to install Windows 7 as a second OS on a disk that is not being used, but whenever I get to 'Install now' page of Windows 7 I have no mouse or keyboard control. Nada.Zip. What am I doing wrong please? Trying to find anything other than the partition online, I have that I can make head or tail nothing. I need not "Partition" anything. It's a car clean and new, and I know how to do it to point to the right of the road. This machine is a build (my first) and I use an i5 4690K on a card mother Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Please keep it simple I know very little of this Tech stuff. Just enough to get!

    Thanks in advance,

    First you need to remove the hard drive win - 8.1 so that other drive has it's own boot loader installed on his record rather than share with the victory-8 drive,

    Then go into the bios of your motherboard and disable secure boot. Advanced / Start and scroll to the bottom for secure boot

    If you see a list Type OS to other OS.

    Usually access is typed on the delete key when switching voltage or F2 to enter setup.

    Once the secure boot is disabled Insert win 7 dvd or flash drive.

    Save the changes and then press the F8 key to start menu

    Select the dvd or flash drive.

    Try to install now.

    Once installed win 7 you can stop and reinstall the hard drive win-8 and use F8 to select who has never install you want to start too.

  • How to run windows 7 on the laptop already installed windows 8 from the same hard drive

    Hello

    I use a computer dell laptop with windows 8 OS. I want to install Windows 7 as another operating system on the same laptop. I got the image file on the hard disk in a different partition. I have not found any flash drive or dvd close to home. So, is it possible to make from the same laptop?
    Thank you
    Teja

    You will need to put the contents of the ISO image of Windows 7 on a DVD/Flash drive file and start, but after that you can install it on the same hard drive.  You could take little space and divide your hard drive into multiple partitions and install on one of them, or you can create a virtual hard disk (VHD) file and install on that.

    I wrote about the VHD method on my site back when Windows 8 came out first, but it works backwards too.

  • How to install Windows 7 on the new hard drive?

    I changed the old hard drive (500 GB) with a new hard dirve (1 Tera) and now I have two problems:-

    1. how to install Windows 7 on a new hard drive?

    2. my laptop came preinstalled Windows 7 Pro, but all the DVD kit (disk reclaimer Application & discs) + Revocer operating system, which has been provided (by Lenovo) for the laptop is in the Windows 8 Pro. So, how to install Windows 7 Pro, my laptop while all the DVD sets are in Windows 8 Pro?

    either way, this is my laptop spec (for reference); -

    * Note *.
    I intend to install Windows 7 Pro on my new hard drive using another DVD of Windows 7 (not DVD provided by Lenovo), but how do all Leveno program located in the disk 'Application & recuperator readers' (by example; - Lenovo system health and Diagnostics, Lenovo Power Control, Lenovo Fingerprint Reader) to install this hard drive? (as I told you before, all the DVD kit is at or only for Windows 8 Pro)

    I hope someone will help me answer my question,
    Thank you

    I found the solution.

    Response to question 1; using a recovery & backup software to clone my current operating system, and then transfer them to my new hard drive.

    Response to question 2; Download all drivers and software (all the application that located on the DVD of the kit I have) on the official website of Lenovo.

    or another solution, send to a computer service shop and let the experts (workers) install it for me (the most simple and sure way).

    I had my office since 2008 and I decide to format the drive, now I need to know If I can install the same operating system (Windows XP) once formatted?

    As long as you have the CD key and product instalation, Yes.

    Do not forget to install the latest drivers from device XP (starting with the card mother/chipset driver) of the web site of the manufacturer of the computer support.

    Because I assume that you use XP with the same product key until and up to now, you may have to activate by phone.

  • I have an acer Aspire T180 and I can no longer go back to my hard Drive

    I'm having some problems with the backup of my hard drive and the media pool shows this isn't a thing here

    E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.
    place help do you think

    Hey O Dwayne,

    ·         What happens when you try to back up?

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         Use any third-party for the backup application?

    ·         Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    ·         What exactly you talk like a Media Pool?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Check the status of dependent services backup. Follow these steps:

    (a) click Start, type services.msc and press to enter.

    (b) double-click Backup Windows and Volume shadow copy services.

    (c) make sure that the startup type is automatic and the services are started.

    (d) apply the settings.

    Note: If the Volume Shadow Copy service is stopped all restore points will be lost.

  • I can install Windows 7 on a new hard drive for HP Envy m6 1205dx

    My HP Envy m6-1205dx son is a notebook of 2013. The screen was broken and I replaced one. Now he says that there is not a BONE, I tried to install a full version of Windows 7 Professional, and he said that he there was not a boot device. I've reconfigured the BIOS to boot with the CD/DVD ROM and it started installing. When he arrives at the point of asking where to put the installation there is no option. I checked the connection to the hard drive and it is not a problem here. I think to buy a new hard drive to install the Windows 7 operating system, I am afraid that it will not work or he will say that I need to install the drivers. This laptop originally supplied with Windows 8. Can I install this version of Windows on this laptop? If I need to install the drivers how can I get them? It cannot be a website to download the drivers on your computer. I can't do without the computer having an operating system. I downloaded some drivers from a link, I saw on You Tube and put it on a flash drive, but none was consistent, one of them did read on a different/more older computer I tried to install this OS on and it says that the driver was out of date. It seems to me that a (FULL VERSION) drivers and everything else you might need. I'm not computer savvy, so I do not know! I'm just trying to save my investment of $600 on this computer without spending $300. I can get a new hard drive for $80 and it was on that I would go; However, I will buy a new Windows 8 operating system if it is the only option.

    There is no device driver Windows 7 for your model, only Windows 8:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5359748&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en

    If there is no driver, your PC may not work correctly (No. LAN or WiFi, Audio, USB, etc.) after the installation of Windows 7.

    Check your hard drive, if the laptop has been abandoned the drive may be defective and must be replaced.

    You can order a support of HP recovery:
