• Portege M400 - cannot install Windows XP on the new HARD drive

  Hello here is my problem,

  I bought an older Portegre M400 E, without a HARD drive. So I buy a new Samsung 400 GB. I looked in the Bios (ACPI BIOS Version 3.40) and it is ok. He shows me the HARD drive with built in Assign LD - 0 status ONLINE, 400 GB size so it seems to be nice. Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0
  So, I want to boot from the Windows XP CD, not recovering my own.

  Windows open to the top and after a short period, the installation ends with the message that it is not any HARD drive. This I try sometimes :-( Hope someone can help me.
  Do not forget that I didn't have any HARD disk with the dates of the laptop.

  Thank you Carsten
  (Sorry my English is not so good Im from the Germany)

  Wilkommen!

  > Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0

  I don't know much about your model, but I think that something wrong with the raid in the Bios settings. What other options are available in the Bios for the State of the hard drive? I found the RAID driver on the Toshiba driver page. It is possible, that you can integrate in with a program called nlite Windows installation disc or install Windows as in compatibility mode, and install the Raid driver. then

  Is it possible to have an installed HARD drive? I really wanted a laptop SSD and HDD but after taxes and a full warranty of 2 years, $1 100 is my limit. I wonder if down the line, I can install a HARD drive.

• Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.

  Thank you

  PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well

  Hey,.

  If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.

  As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

• Portege R700-1hd: Questions about HARD drive replacement and passwords

  I have a 1hd R700 with 320 GB HARD drive in stock. I want to upgrade it to 500 GB. This update should be pretty simple, cloning from the old to the new.

  However, I was wondering about the HARD drive password / finger.
  My HARD drive it configured to use a fingerprint/password on boot - I guess that it is involved in the BIOS and the drive itself, but I'm not exactly sure how.
  I think the HARD drive itself is locked, it is not a Windows or BIOS password.

  If I change the HARD drive will still be able to use startup disk HARD password/fingerprint? Are there requirements for material of HARD drive I need to consider before buying new HARD drive? As should be a specific type of HARD drive to work with password disk HARD/fingerprint digital?

  Thank you

  Hi bullerd,

  The HARD drive password is stored on the HARD drive so when you replace the HARD drive you must set a new password of HDD in BIOS. The password is not stored in the BIOS. In addition fingerprints can also be stored on the HARD drive or let s say fingerprint digital software but all of the operating system must be installed after Exchange HARD drive so it s new problem.

  So the two passwords you mentioned are stored on the HARD drive so it s no problem to swap the HARD drive. :)

• Satellite A210-1AO - support SATA2 hard drives?

  I have Toshiba Satellite A210-1AO and I want to spend her hard drive.
  It does support SATA2 hard drives?

  Hello

  Disks hard SATA2 can be used in every laptop or computer with SATA interface. The new SATA2 interface has the same connector and downgrade compatible. This means that SATA2 is faster, but only in theory. Hard drives are not fast enough to achieve these speeds possible.

  In addition there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface you can buy what you want and have fun with the new HARD drive! :)

• HP Pavilion a6667c: HP Pavilion a6667c, install the HARD drive to the SATA port

  My question is: is it OK to install a hard drive extra (in this case, my old laptop drive) in one of spare SATA ports on the motherboard? My first two is taken over by my first hard disk and the optical stock.

  You can add the disk as a data disk. This tray will work. Data cable  

  The power supply should have additional Sata power lead.

  Hi Merlin,

  Thank you for the information.

  Have you tried to run a check disk from the BIOS (Basic Input Output System)? If this isn't the case, you can try to do a hard drive from the BIOS test & see if the problem still occurs.

  If you are not comfortable with the BIOS, you you contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  I don't want Windows 7 at all so I'm ready to lose all data, so how can I do to remove it?

  You say that you have started from the XP CD, but something is wrong with that
  you do. Just boot from the CD and follow the prompts for a
  clean install. A new installation by formatting the
  drive and does not care what version of Windows is installed (or
  even if any version of Windows is installed.

• Install a hard drive

  Original title: Pedro

  Y at - it a problem if I (temporarily) install a hard drive in my PC of capacity equal to one he has (both 1 T). I know that a hard drive with a lower capacity would cause the original HD does not work when the reinstalled (500 MB in an original HD 1 TB).

  Thank you for your advice.

  Pedro

  You can give more details about what you are considering, but--

  "I don't know a hard drive with a lower capacity would cause the original HD does not work when the reinstalled"

  You can install the variable capacity HARD drives and mix the SSD HARD drive. Mixture of capacity should not

  normally cause any HARD disk to stop working.

  -What you need to be careful when you install a HARD drive in the case, is not Exchange not the cable on the

  Windows HARD disk is installed on a different SATA port (what good practice dictates as Port 0)

  If you do not have what you need to rearrange the order in the BIOS Boot section (or change again the cables),

  or the machine can "read" the HARD drive badly and not start Windows (depending on the configuration of the BIOS).

  Examples:

  -J' have a machine with an e-SATA docking station I can pop any HARD drive in.

  I have backup of HDD of 80 GB, 320 GB, 500 GB and 1 TB.

  (This machine has a SSD and 2 TB HDD installed)

  I also use that HDD dock for a 'double' boot Win10 from an another SSD

  (Win7 is installed in the case, then I have to change the BIOS boot option when I change from one OS to the other).

  -My second machine (with an SSD, 500 GB and 1 TB HDD installed) doesn't have the luxury of a

  e SATA dock, so with this one, I use a spare door HARD disc that came with the case and the spare SATA and

  cable to connect temporarily HDD with the stop sign and the HARD disk on the table

  (power off and disconnected so that the implementation).

  This is not a practical method for the weak and not heated, but works well with my old HARD drives.

  For most people, using a HARD "external" drive that comes in its own case with a cable USB or e-SATA

  connection is the best option.

• So basically I can't extend my 3 TB hard drive 3 TB because windows 8 is the treatment as a MBR. Error [0 x 80042468]

  So basically I can't extend my 3 TB hard drive 3 TB because windows 8 is the treatment as a MBR. Error [0 x 80042468]

  Background: after a bit of trouble to install windows 8 on my SSD, I had at one time install on my drive 3 TB of seagate for troubleshooting. Of course, this has reduced the reader to 2 TB for the MBR. I finally solved the problem by changing the mode AHCI instead of IDE interface and installed the OS on my SSD. To my dismay, I could not reclaim the unallocated space.

  I tried to format the drive and delete volumes using disk management, windows 8 installation disc command prompt (you have the option to format and remove the disks and volumes). Basically, I'm stuck. I can't extend the volume. Windows 8 install disc gives me the error [0 x 80042468]

  There is a similar problem but I can't access the answer. (ACCESS DENIED)

  * edit * there is no system of operating on the 3 TB drive, it is completely on the SSD.
