  Hi all

  I need help with the following. My laptop information:
  Toshiba Satellite L25 S119
  Model - PSL2XU D 00500

  My HARD drive is a Toshiba 60 GB 5400 RPM (MK-6026GAX) hard disk.

  Would be it someone please let me know where I can find the HARD drive diagnostic software appropriate to the hard drive of this model. I suspect that it starts to develop problems and run a check until I have look at the controller.

  Please notify.
  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  Google can answer this question too... ;)

  There are a lot of diagnostics for your HARD drive. You can use the Drive Fitness Test of Hitachi for example. It creates a boot disk where you can boot from to start the test.

  An alternative look at HD Tune. It s Windows based but can check bad sectors too. In addition it allows to test the speed of the HARD drive.

• 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.

  Hey @DaveTully,

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

• Can I reinstall the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional on a new hard drive without any problem of product/activation key?

  Recently, my hard drive crashed and could be damaged, because I can not install anything on this subject.

  I still have the CD of Windows XP Professional that has been used to upgrade to Windows 7.
  So, if I buy a new hard drive and install XP first and then upgrade to windows 7. I'll be able to
  to do this without side windows activation problems.
  Or do I have to buy a new drive for windows?
  PS: Is it important that it is the version of Windows 7 professional student discount?
  Thank you.

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• A few questions on password setting in BIOS HARD drive

  In the BIOS, theres a option to set passwords on hard drives

  Has anyone used this?

  How difficult is this? That you must enter a password each time you access the hard drive?

  Please explain

  If you use your laptop for private only and if there is no risk to you that someone else may have access to your data I put t recommend that you set the HARD drive password.

  It is very nice and good feature if you have sensitive data stored on your HARD drive and use your laptop in the company or take with you.

  All other information, you can pick up in the document of Toshiba.

• HP Pavilion dv9500 hard drive, speed + other problems

  I time it has mine HP had some problems

  I rebooted with installing windows 7 again.

  Then I get a lot of problems, it was the hd which gives the problem

  When I look at true hd, I saw that it is not the normal SD but SATA 7 connection

  I have two vertex 3 60 GB SSD and they go instead of hd perfectly.

  The problem is the connection to this SSD

  I have this good connector?

  This SSD will work with the HP Pavilion DV9500?

  This SSD is perhaps to fast for HP? Maximum transfer for hp is 1.5 Gb/s, I think

  How many MB is it?

  When I install Win7 with latest drivers.

  laptop processors work around 50-70% without any program is launched!

  I worked more then a week to find new drivers, why HP not with a program to update this driver is automated? The HP update works not at all, he said, everything is ok. But with a pilot programs, it finds more then 40 drivers unupdated!

  I see mine laptop with 2 GB of ram, startup, there are already 90% used.

  Is it not better to change the ram to 4 GB? because it's only $ 28

  What is the good ram?

  When I give mine for problems HP laptop I recover it with a working DVD drive step.

  The DVD player can read compact optical disks but not read or write DVD.

  What can I do?

  Can I change the DVD player. Are their sold somewhere?

  You have a lot of questions here. Firstly, Yes, the connector of the drive hard eBay is the right and it will work on any SATA including SSD drive. I think the DV9500 and more it is SATA 2 (3 gb/s) interface, but it's not really important. A 60 GB SSD will not be enough space.

  HP does not have updates of driver for this machine for quite a while. I wouldn't too much stock in these update pilot programs that you download from the Internet. Indeed, they often contain spyware that could explain why you have high CPU utilization. If you can give me the exact model number or at least tell me if it is an AMD or Intel version we can get better drivers. The pilots of two wholesale to be aware of are the chipset and video drivers. If you have the AMD driver chipset nVidia processor must be specifically responsible. Windows it will not pick up. You definitely need at least 4 GB of RAM, and Yes, you use the DDR2-800 SO-DIMM. Also, you should install 64-bit Windows 7.

  This is a DVD burner. The façade can be a different color, but you can reverse your.

  Easy to replace. Just return the laptop and look for a screw in the center of the bottom panel. It will have an icon of disk beside him. Remove the screw and slide the drive.

• Disk W530 Hard Drive Bay Adapter problem

  W530 ordered on 14/01/2014. I replaced the 500 GB with a SSD hard drive and wanted to use the reader HGST it came with a disc of Nimitz adapter. I can delete the partition and create a new volume, but it fails during format. It fails even when it is formatted a ready to use.

  I have a 250 GB drive at 5400 RPM Hitachi which works very well in the Bay. With the help of a USB drive Bay I can delete the volume and rebuild the drive of 500 GB. Why do I have a problem with this drive in the drive Bay?

  I plugged the hot formatted disk and it lights up immediately, I backup on it now. I don't know why I got so many problems earlier.

  Thanks for the reply.

• Hard drive crashed, software Instaled new disk how to keep data?

  My computer has a new hard drive, (crushed).  I have hotsync with Outlook.  My Outlook 2003 data on the ditches.  I have the data on my Palm Z22.  I installed the software on my computer, it finds the files on the network.  The name of the computer and the name on the Palm are the same, but when I try to hotsync I get the message that I can't hotsync with this name as it is used.

  I only tried to hotsync custom that concerns me that I could lose the data on nmy Palm.

  Remove the Palm desktop hotsync name. So when you sync it should ask you if you want to move the profile on the device to this PC. Select Yes. This will probably cause duplicates but without hard resetting the device is the easiest way.

• Increasing hard drive size of problem

  Hello

  I am trying to increase the size of the hard disk of the virtual machine in vSphere, but the option for all the drives are grayed out on a server specific (all other servers work very well and seem to have the same configuration).

  Is there a list of parameters, that I can use to determine why it is grayed out?

  The ones I know:

  -There are no snapshots on virtual machine

  -The SCSI controller is a LSI Logic SAS (I know that you can't increase with an IDE controller/drive)

  -All hard drives are thick provisioned

  What else could be?

  We use vCenter 4.1 and ESXi 4.1. The VM version is 7, Windows Server 2008R2.

  Thanks for any help,

  David.

  Just to be safe. How to check that there are no snapshots on the VM? Using the Snapshot Manager or by checking the vmdk file name in parameters of the HARD disk of the virtual machine or by examining the data store? Sometimes the Snapshot Manager shows not all snapshots (especially when the backup software is in use).

  Please open the browser of data store and double check there is no - 00000x.vmdk files.

  André

  PS: If you find the snapshot files in the data store Navigator, open the snapshot to the virtual machine Manager, create a new snapshot, and then select 'Delete All' which will merge/delete all snapshots, appears in the Snapshot Manager or not.
