• Using the HARD drive of a Tecra A4 as a for another laptop external HARD drive.

  I have a Toshiba Tecra A4. I want to use the HARD drive as a second hard drive to another laptop, but it seemed to me that the HDD in Tecra A4 has a special bond that does not fit in a standard externel HDD-Bay. Anyone know how I can use the HARD Tecra A4 drive as an external HARD drive?

  Subquestion: is it not possible to use a 2.5 "HARD drive normal in a Toshiba Tecra A4?

  Hello

  AFAIK Tecra A4 has 2.5 inch HDD inside. But the HARD drive has another connector HARD drive that you can remove. The HARD drive is placed in the HARD drive chassis and fixed with four screws. Remove the screw and the connector. Be very carefully and take it easy.

  After that you can use in other laptops.

• I can't activate my real Vista on 'New' material by using the hard drive of my old hardware

  OK, I got a laptop comes pre-loaded with windows Vista and it has got water damage and shorted, the hard drive however is in good working condition. I bought a laptop replacement because I didn't want to be on another computer that someone else would break anyway.

  so I bought this used the laptop from a friend that he would use to intnet and games, she had similar specs as my old laptop except the proccessor was different but similar speed and what not. what I want to do is to install the hard drive from my old with Vista genuine in this 'new' computer that has a hard drive in a way smaller and is loaded with XP.

  compatible sound and I have already, but it asks me for my product key that I have but it says its wrong (I guess as its headquarters in the old hardware) so is there a way to unregister the old hardware or upgrade my hardware information in order to use my old hard drive and keep my status as a true?

  not only is a HDD larger but its quicker and there all my files ive been without for more than a year now and frankly I need it back so bad at this point

  Thank you thank you

  Sorry, but versions OEM of Windows Vista cannot be transferred to another computer.  The license is permanently tied to the original computer, it has been installed and activated on. Carey Frisch

• Tecra M5: How to use the HARD drive password when the HARD drive is connected as an external device?

  I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 with MK1032GSX hard disk. I put a bios password and HARD drive password. Every day I turn on my laptop with my password a number only once: unlock the disk and bios. The password screen is before windows starts.

  One day my laptop motherboard is broken, I bring my pc on the Toshiba support center (less disc) and I'm waiting for him (2 months ago). I need to read my date of the disc, but it is locked by password. The drive is a SATA drive, I put it on a desktop computer and I see it in the bios and in windows resource device, but I do not see in the Explorer.

  None of the software I've tried (HDD unlock, atapwd...) will not work. I have my password, I have not forgotten.

  How to read my date? Can you help me?
  Thank you.

  Hi Oscar

  Hmmm I m not 100% sure, but I think that it s not possible to remove the HARD drive HARD drive password if you haven t your laptop.
  I know that if the HARD drive password has been set the HARD drive is not more accessible and more usable.

• T410 - using the Hard Drive Bay adapter III series

  I have looked in getting more storage data on my t410 and had a few questions about the adaptation of the dvd to the HARD disk to use. (1) the t410 certainly does support the adapter? (2) will the adapter supports all 9.5 mm HDD 2.5 "? can I use a 7200 RPM drive? (3) this configuration supports protection against shock, as the HARD disk drive Bay original? (4) is there anything else I should consider? THX in advance

  ended up finding the Hitachi Travelstar 2.5 750 GB 7200 RPM SATA II 16 MB Cache internal hard - 0S 03339 and Thinkpad Sata HD Bay adapter 3, both from Amazon. the model # on the Amazon unit is the same as the one on the Lenovo site, but was $30 cheaper. Ran $89,99, vs. $61,17 for the 500 GB Hitachi 750 GB... I hope it works like the 500 GB

• Using the hard drive on HP Proliant after installing VSPhere ESXi 5

  I recently installed VSphere ESXi 5 on a HP Proliant server. I've migrated several virtual machines successfully on, with access via client vsphere. I'm trying to find out whether the server is in Raid 5. I called HP and they said that the only way to know is to insert the smart startup disk. I inserted, but I don't know how to access the disk. I know this is probably very simple, but I'm lost. Thanks for your help.

  It depends on if you a raid controller enough disks and supported your server to take a RAID5 configuration.

  Download the HP smart start ISO, ILO mount or burn a CD to boot off the coast so that you can launch the utility of configuration of matrices (ACU). It's really something that should have been done before the ESXi installation.

  See the example below;

  See you soon,.

• Can I use the HP Recovery partition after formatting and partitioning the rest of the hard drive?

  I recently had my HP Pavilion dv4 2145dx laptop (Windows 7 64-bit) go kerput.  The Geek Squad said that the motherboard is dead.  I bought a laptop and I use this one for now, and I use the former dv4 as external hard drive.

  I intend to continue to use the hard drive from the old dv4 as an external unresolved for now, but I wish we could fix the dv4 at some point in the future.  Here's the problem: to get the most out of the former dv4 as external drive, I want to repartition it so that there is an NTFS partition and one HFS partition +.  This way I could easily use it with my Mac and Windows machines.

  But if I do that, I'm not sure if the image of HP recovery would continue to operate.  If it does not, then if/when I get the old dv4 a new motherboard, I couldn't restore the operating system from the recovery partition.  It is a problem, because I have not create recovery disks (stupid, I know - I'm definitely making them for the new machine).

  So, I want to do these two things:

  (1) create my dv4 recovery disks.  Can I do this if the dv4 drive is mounted in an external enclosure?

  (2) format and partition the drive dv4 (the leaving intact recovery partition) and later to recover the system from the recovery partition.  The recovery partition would continue to operate in these conditions?

  Thanks for any help that anyone is obtained.

  Hello:

  What you do to the C:\drive will make the ineffective recovery partition.

  You will not be able to create a set of recovery discs unless the drive is usable in Notepad.

  Can you still read all 25 characters of your product key of W7 on the bottom of your laptop broken?

  If so, you can do this...

  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.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  Or, you can probably still order a set of recovery disc for your HP laptop.

• How can I remove the recovery partition from a corrupt HARD drive that I replaced in a laptop?

  I replaced a HDD corrupted in the laptop of a friend and you want to reuse. How can I delete the recovery partition? When I try to use my Windows 7 computer management tool, it will not access? I did a complete player wipe (twice) what the partition is still there and I can't remove it. It's 14 GB of space I want to retrieve and use the HARD drive in another system at a later date.

  Thank you

  Try the command line option:

  Start cmd.exe as an administrator, then inside the window cmd, type

  DiskPart

  then, type diskpart

  list disk

  take note of the correct disc ID to clear

  type

  Select disk x

  (where x is the ID of your disk to erase)

  type

  clean

  your HARD drive will be erased completely

  or you can try the magic of partition:

  http://www.partitionwizard.com/

  or if it does not work:

  Hiren's boot cd and gparted tool available.

  You must create a bootable CD or USB pen as media.

• Use the flash drive for the paging file

  Hello. I would like to use a USB flash drive for the file rather than the HARD disk to increase performance on an older system. I've set up to use the flash player and the system restarts. But whenever I check, it uses the HARD drive. Why doesn't the setting?

  Hello. OK, well I got what I was doing wrong. I never put the c: for not having a swap file.

  http://www.ehow.com/how_6054256_use-USB-memory-RAM-XP.html

  @greenestguy

  Swap file cannot be larger than 4 GB, so no need for a 8 GB flash drive. Save some $$.

  Don't know why it would be a bad idea because MS have programmed it in Vista and Win 7 as ReadyBoost. I suppose there is always the chance that I don't see any difference on the old hardware, but I do not see how it would break anything.

• Replace the hard drive on dv6-2136el

  Hello

  My dv6-2136el hard drive is broken and I need to replace it.

  I have the recovery disks that I created with Recovery Manager.

  Which hard drive I buy in order to restore the computer with the recovery disks that I created? It must be the same disk or can I buy a bigger or faster?

  To reinstall the system enough to replace the hard drive and start the recovery cd?

  Thank you for your valuable suggestions,

  Matteo

  Hello

  The best idea is to open the Windows Device Manager and check if there are any entries with a yellow icon against them - pilots who are not always installed by Windows 7 automatically can include the card reader, DriveGuard, validity sensor driver if you have a fingerprint reader.

  Regarding the partitioning of the HARD disk, there should be no problem using Windows disk management tool to reduce the Partition C - 60 GB is fine for the operating system.  Also remember that you can have only 4 partitions primary (you will already have 2 - hidden and system that contains startup files and the C partition).

  Kind regards

• Tecra R850 cuts the power to the HARD drive to the soft reboot

  Hello

  We have hundreds of these laptops and use the HARD drives encrypted in them.

  A soft reboot, they cause the HDD re - encrypt itself due to loss of power when you soft restart.
  Someone at - it a work around for this (parameters of the BIOS, the BIOS update) that won't cause this issue for us?
  I believe that we are currently on version 2 BIOS. "something"if it helps everything.

  Thanks in advance,

  Sean

  The laptop turns off a moment during a warm reboot. An update of the BIOS will not change that.

  Maybe you should use Bitlocker.

• Qosmio - how to access the HARD drive?

  Hello
  the Qosmio G30 is completely 'dead' and I removed the two HARD drives.
  Anyone know how I could access the HARD disk without having to start the RAID... How could restore data by using the HARD drive as a USB device?

  Thank you
  Mike

  Hello

  You want to remove the internal HARD drive and want to connect it as external device using an external HARD drive enclosure?

  In this case you will need an external SATA USB controller because the Qosmio G30 supports SATA drives.

• Remove the hard drive and optical drive on HP pavilion 500-164

  Hello

  I was eager to build a new computer and was hoping to use the hard drive and the optical drive from the Hp Pavilion 500-164 to reduce their costs. I'm confused as to how to remove the optical drive, because I removed the two screws on the left and don't know how to get to the other side as it wouldn't come out. When you remove the hard drive, the SATA cable wouldn't come off, so I stopped here and would like some advice on how to remove the hard drive from its Bay.
