• How to change the hard drive from the slave to master drive?

  Original title: drives hard slave to master, how.

  I try to use an external hard drive carrier to download my data files on my laptop. One worked as a data file. The second and third would not show.
  They can be slaves, so how can I change the masters so that I can download them?

  If the suggestion to use disk management doesn't help you, please explain what you mean by "first' and 'second and third."  You have several hard drives, multiple partitions on a single physical disk, or just several files?

  Also explain in detail the steps you take to 'download' (i.e., transfer) the files to your laptop.

  Status 'Master' and 'slave' is not applicable to your situation.

  Hi Danniray,

  If both systems are running Windows 7, then it is very likely hard drives are both drives 2.5 "SATA. However, you need to reinstall Windows. Your Toshiba drive will not work as is in your Dell laptop.

• replaced the hard drive, Illustrator CS4 now does not start

  After that I replaced my Mac (paid by Apple, fortunately) Fusion defective hard disk and restored everything from a Time Machine backup, Illustrator CS4 gives me error 150:30 when I try to run, with instructions to contact Adobe support web site. All I get there are some frequently asked questions and their cat gives suggestions repeated to try the forum. I'm surprised research here do not find other people who have had the same problem. I would have disabled AI CS4 before hand, but the disk failure came quickly and by surprise.

  I've logged into my Adobe account and could see my products, but could not find anywhere to administer anything, like resetting of the authorized computers one can in iTunes.

  Does anyone have a suggestion? I would of course welcome.

  Thank you

  Rick

  Contact support to reset the activations, run the cleanup tool, and reinstall it correctly. There is no magic involved and I'm sure that your own web searches have come up with the same instructions, even if you seem to refuse to recognize them as the correct procedures.

  My computer stopped working and a new hard drive has been implemented. Now my computer asks for a product key and my computer says that I am using a windows vista that is not authentic. My background goes black and won't keep any substance I put in place.

• Change the HARD drive in the laptop Satellite P10-304

  I bought a new hard drive for my laptop toshiba satellite sp10, can someone tell me were the hard drive is in the laptop, so I can change it as it does not tell you in the instructions booklet
  Thank you
  jm75uk

  Hello

  For some portable models change HARD drive is very simple and not complicated. Change the HARD drive in your case will be not so easy, and in my opinion, you should contact the service partner. I don't know how old is your laptop, and if the warranty is still valid, but as Tobi said if you open the Briefcase with laptop computer on your own, you can lose the warranty.

  I don't know, but the HARD drive should be placed somewhere under keyboard because on this model there is no coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro L500-1W4 - cannot install Win 7 Pro after changing the HARD drive

  Hi all

  I need assistance with Windows.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Windows 7 preinstalled pro and the recovery DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Pro.
  I had to change the hard drive, so I try to reinstall Windows 7 from the recovery CD, but it does not work. He said that it is not possible to install this on this machine.

  So I tried with Windows XP CD recovery and no problem
  I'd rather have windows Windows 7 but I do not know how to retrieve
  Last information, the Windows XP CD recovery came with the laptop that Windows 7 was made by the store who sold me the computer.

  Thank you for your help
  Julie

  As far as I know there is not a kind of limitation and if there is no problem with the original recovery for Win7 disc, you should be able to install it on any HARD disk that you use with your machine.
  I upgraded HDD to the SSD on my installation of picture machine and the restore worked without any problems.

  To be honest, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but the Win7 installation disc is somehow suspect for me. I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but somehow, I feel you didn t get original drive Win7. Best evidence is the Windows XP Home edition recovery disk. The prinziple with Win7 is the same and it should works.

  When you use this disk you should have the menu as shown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  This document explains how this works with the original installation disc of recovery.

• Satellite P10 - how to change the HARD drive?

  I'm not too sure about the P10, but on my A30 the hadr drive is under the DVD-ROM. It is secured in place by a single screw (accessible from under the laptop), and when it is deleted the DVD-ROM slides just to place revealing the hard drive.

  The hard drive is fixed with 4 screws (2 on each side)

• HP pavilion dv6-7029wm recovery kit lose after changing the hard drive

  Hello

  Recently, I changed the hard drive after the old one crashed, so I need the recovery kit, but the site it says shipps only in canada or the United States

  as I left the States, how can I get them?

  where can I download the recovery image and burn it to a DVD?

  Hello

  Another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• Change the hard drive of my Inspiron 9300

  Hello!

  This is my first post on this forum.

  Since July 2005, I have a Dell Inspiron 9300.

  As it is now out of warranty, I would change the hard drive in it.

  So I have a few questions, I'm looking for answers to if possible.

  I will present my questions in two different parts, the first is on the material, the disc itself and then the software thing.

  (A) material:

  (1) should what equipment I expect? I know it's a hard disk IDE, so I guess I have to get the same kind, in parallel ATA works?

  (2) I read here and there that the BIOS is limited to hard drives 120 GB, because more is not supported by the latter. You know a way to expand this capacity? (Only a medium chest!)

  (3) what kind of drives advise you? (Brand, speed, etc...)

  (4) I read on description hard drive 'IDE ATA 100' or ' IDE ATA 133 "in online shops, you know what it is?

  (B) software:

  (1) I would like to be sure that I will install the same things as when I do "Ctrl + F11", for the utility norton Ghost (want to keep this option!), which reinstall the entire computer with factory settings. I will get this during the installation with the recovery CD? Or you have a way to get this? (I want the same computer I have today, except a different HDD only!)

  (2) do you know how to create a D: partition, so that I have a part for programs and a part for the storage of the files?

  (3) how to install, is it: replace drive HARD; start the computer while starting on the recovery CD, Partition the disk HARD C: and D: (with the D: partitioned within the C: drive, I guess) and complete the installation of windows with the included Dell factory settings?

  I hope that I won't bore you with my questions, and you'll be able to answer. It would be nice, because I'm not a pro from the computer, only an amateur.

  Thank you very much

  Vincent

  
  

• change the hard drive in the Pavilion all-in - one ms228

  My hard drive has stopped working on my Pavillion ME 228 all in an office.   I found a replacement at a reasonable price.  I bought this computer in France a couple of years ago, it came with windows 7 family in french with a keyboard french azwerty.  Now, I have to change the hard drive is possible to put on Windows 7 'Ultimate' in English (I have the disc) and English qwerty keyboard would work on this subject?

  Any advice would be really appreciated.

  Yes, you can install Windows 7 Ultimate English and plug an English keyboard. It uses only a keyboard USB, right? Computers have no nationality... they will take the language of the hardware and software you install on them.

  If the computer did not come with Ultimate you will need a new key Code. You can install the English version of the Windows 7 level it came with (probably Home Premium) using your own key Code.
