• Pavilion a6500f: can I use my old hard drive as a second drive to the new I install.

  I have a Pavilion a6500f I can access is no longer as he continues to tell me there are registry errors.  My recovery disk (I got a) or do a hard reset or else he will start.  It came with a window that says recovery system or start Windows normally.  I get a new hard drive to it and have a whole new Windows 7 installed.  The thing is that I don't want to lose all my stuff on the old hard drive.  So my question is can I install the OLD hard drive as a second drive to the new?  If I can then I can just copy all the files from the old drive to the new and use the old as a memory drive.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  The simple answer is Yes.

  (1) I would like to replace the hard drive with the same drive size or larger. But does not exceed 2 T.

  (2) I hope you made the original recovery DVD set the original recovery firstly, DVD media DVD + R try as these will save you having to create a driver disk.  If you really have to buy a complete set of recovery, get it here. It will have all the necessary drivers.  Only $27.00

  (3) I copy the files and destroy the old disk. Its usefulness is damaged since 2008.

  Hello

  Can I use an external hard drive from 1 to 2 to my laptop? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

• can I use an external hard drive to increase the disk space and memory on xp?

  I am considering an external hard drive of 1 TB to trasmet all files on the computer. There is little hard drive space and memory left. Can I use the external hard drive free space and can it will be installed via USB and use my operating system?

  You can use the external hard drive to transfer your data from your internal hard drive.  Cannot move system files (such as Program Files, Windows and swap files) well.  Looks like your use of the word 'memory' made reference to disk space - it normally refers to which an external drive would not affect RAM.  If you mean disk space, however, you can certainly free SPAC drive this way.

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  Hello! You need a new PC Yep!
  But there are other ways to do

• How can I move the old hard drive to new programs.

  I tried to upgrade Windows 2000 Pro, XP Pro on my hard drive. XP would install, but would break to the BSOD with a STOP of the F4 code. BCupdate2 says that the startup code is up to date. NTDLR and boot.ini and NTDETECT.COM are present on the old hard drive. After 2 days of searching and trying different solutions, I bought a new hard drive and installed XP Pro top. System is now running. I want to make my programs from the old hard drive to the new hard disk as well as shortcuts, system settings, user accounts, and user data. I want the new HDD to resemble the old hard disk would look like had XP installed successfully. I have a utility provided with the hard drive, but it says it will take the BONES of the old drive and put it on the new drive that would make my non-operational system. Any help? The history of the old drive is 64 XP was installed originally, but some of my programs wouldn't not below so I installed Windows 2000 Pro. Which was great for several years, but the new versions of the software I use has stopped running less than 2000.

  I'm sorry, but it is not possible to move programs from one operating system to another.  You must reinstall the programs.

  Your data files must be in the Documents and Settings\ folder from the old hard drive and you can copy them to the folder on the Windows XP system.

• Satellite P200-13Z - upgrade the hard drive - can I use SATA II hard drives?

  I have a Satellite P200-13Z with simple standard Fujitsu 120 GB SATA hard drive. I want to change this to a RPM SATA II 250 GB Western Digital 7200 RPM drive. This interface SATA laptop does support SATA II? Thank you very much!

  Not your portable computer does not support SATA II.

  However, you can buy the SATA II hard drive and put it in your laptop. Only way to get it going is to restrict the new speed of SATA HDD, I accelerate. To do this is to introduce a jumper on the drive to restrict it to SATA I speeds up. Once it's done put in your laptop and viola, it works.

  Good luck, but I would like to get a toshiba technician to install it if its under warranty. It's for your own good, so you don't turn your laptop into a boat anchor.

• Recently, I built a new computer and used my old hard drive. Now, I can't activate Windows XP via internet or telephone?

  Hello

  I recently built a new computer with a new motherboard, processor and RAM.  The computer works well, but I can't go through the activation of Windows XP.  I tried connecting via internet, and he said that I didn't have a connection, which I know that I do because I can connect to the internet on my motherboard cloud browser.  I tried to call the number that was given, but the computer says that it is not a valid product.  I know that my copy of Windows XP is valid - in my old system, it worked fine.

  Please help me to activate my version of Windows XP.

  If the old version of Windows XP is installed on the computer when you bought it, you invalidated the license by moving the hard drive to a new system.  This license lives and dies on the parent computer/card origin.  If it was a copy of the (bought in a store) retail of Windows, I'd recommend replace because move one disk hard from one computer to the other, sometimes translated as difficult solve incompatibilities due to driver problems.

• Can I use an external hard drive that is compatible to Windows on a Mac through reformatting?

  I bought a Seagate Expansion 4 TB USB 3.0 hard drive.

  F8 & PSC = 1 https://www.Amazon.com/GP/product/B017KE8OG0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?IE=UT

  But it is only compatible with Windows.

  Can I reformat the hard drive on my MacBook Pro - or it would even rise not?

  If so, what format to use? Mac OS extended (journaled)?

  Thank you!

  PS: I tried to put this in the Mac system software, but I could not find in 100 + element of submenu. I must say the redesign of the forum makes it much more difficult to use, and it is almost impossible to find positions in some themes that were available in the old form by a simple click on a symbol. It feels like Apple wanted to have as bad an organization like Google (endless sub-menus in otherwise good work pro apps e-mail) and be too cryptic in its structure than that of Windows. Apple, please go back to the simple user interfaces that can be understood by logic. Yes, I tried to put this comment in a comment forum, but I could not find.

  1. Yes, you can.

  2. Yes.

• Can I use 1 TB hard drive on my Satellite L40?

  Hello!

  Is it possible to change my 120 GB drive hard wit 1 TB HITACHI SATA III hard drive on my Toshiba L40?
  I think my HDD is Sata II now and I'm not sure if is compatible with SATA III and the size 1 TB...

  Unfortunately, you will not be able to find the official statement from Toshiba on this subject but, well I know, you can use SATA III on this old machine.

  I put t know what is the reason to use this HARD drive. You cannot use your old laptop with normal HARD drive with, say s, 300 Go?

• Use the old hard drive?

  I just replaced my old time capsule with a new one.

  Can I now use the old time capsule as a hard drive?

  I wired to this old laptop and you want to back up laptop to manually time capsule.

  But I do not see the capsule in the finder.

  shouldn't this work?

  any tips?

  I wired to this old laptop and you want to back up laptop to manually time capsule.

  Not the correct way to define things upward.  Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the new time Capsule on 'o' WAN port on the old time Capsule <-->. Make sure that the old Time Capsule is set to run in "Bridge" Mode and turn off the wireless on the device.

  Then you can connect your old laptop using another Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the old Time Capsule <-->(or the new Capsule of time, if you wish).

• Satellite A200-1 s 5 - can I use a second HARD drive and RAID?

  Hi all

  Toshiba Satellite A200-1 s 5 is eligible to add a second hard drive? It has RAID controller as much I know - it might help?

  Thank you
  Denis

  If you have a SATA connector in the second HARD drive Bay, you can use a second HDD. Check it!
  Then you can buy each disc HARD what you want with SATA port.

  The Satellite A200 doesn't have a RAID controller.
