• Replacing the hard drive for HP Mini 1140NR

  Hello!

  I need help. I have a HP Mini 1140NR Vivienne Tam edition (NB134UA), which is unfortunately more under warranty. Recently, my hard drive has begun to fail. The original hard drive is a 60 GB Toshiba MK6028GAL 1.8 "4200 RPM PATA drive with a ZIF connector. I bought a new hard drive on eBay very similar: a 120 GB MK1231GAL Toshiba 1.8 "4200 RPM PATA drive with a ZIF connector. For some reason, the drive is not recognized by the netbook. I know it's getting common because I can hear it turn up when I turn it on. But when I try to enter the BIOS, it tries to read the disc (it is said that a primary IDE drive is detected), but ultimately fails to recognize the drive. According to the manual (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01631228.pdf), this model "supports every 4.57 cm (1.8 inch) parallel ATA (PATA) hard drives. I then updated the BIOS version e.16 F as he supposedly "solves a problem where the system can not be able to complete the hard drive diagnostic test (HDD) in the configuration utility in the BIOS for a Toshiba hard drive". This did not help the issue all.

  My question is this: If this netbook isn't compatible readers of this ability, or did I just get a dud of a hard drive? I would need to know pretty quickly since I only have a limited window to return the player to the seller.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Thanks for the update, I will cite this discussion here.

  Unfortunately, Toshiba MK1231GAL cannot work in MBA. See the response from Toshiba:

  Dear Mr. xxx,

  Please contact the Toshiba Storage Device Division of Toshiba Europe.

  The MK1231GAH has a 4 KB (physical) block size - not to be confused with the size of the logical block, which can be selected when formatting a HARD drive.
  The MK1231GAH block size is 4 KB and physics, and it is immutable defined on the set.
  This makes the incompatible HDD for use in an application for laptop or PC/Mac/Linux. It is for use in the applications of (THIS) big electronic public only.

  Good point with the data sheet, we´ll change.

• LaCie d2 Thunderbolt 2 incompatible drive with Mac mini?

  Hi all-

  Well, I bought a new LaCie d2 Thunderbolt 2 3 TB Lord drive for use with my mac min (mid 2011).  I've used several external drives Seagate Thudnerbolt (1) with the mini (with my monitor beyond chain) without problem.  However when I stop upacked the new LaCie, and plugged my mini and starting chaos ensued.  I have a strong internal drive satate and starting in about 12 seconds.  With the LaCie, it takes nearly a minute and a half.  Then, when the pointer moves the mouse, clicking on does nothing.  After 14 minutes click finally takes effect and seems to operate normally afterwards.

  I closed and returned to my old Seagate Thunderbolt 1 drive and it works fine.  I swapped the cables thunderbolt and used another well-known cable.  I had command of cable on the Thunderbolt of LaCie ports.  I disconnected the monitor of the Thudnerbolt chain and run the drive only.  All to nothing does not.  The LaCie is supposed to be good on system 10.6.8 and later, I am running 10.7.5.

  Anyone know of problems with the current crop of drives LaCie Tunderbolt with Mac mini?  Thanks - Randy

• Install Panther PPC for external hard drive on Mac Intel

  I have an old iMac G3 333 MHz, 192 MB of RAM. No firewire, no DVD. I updated its 120 GB hard drive, made 2 partitions (a 7, for the system 77 GB) and installed OS 10.1. I replaced the PRAM Battery (the clock is not reset on reboot) and the firmware is up-to-date.

  Now I want to upgrade the system to OS X 10.3 Panther (to try to use the WiFi adapter that uses only the drivers OS X 10.3), but there is some kind of problem with the installation. The installation discs are read perfectly on iMac in point 10.1, when I start to install it under the current operating system, it starts after the reboot, but after it's the consistency of hard drive check, it seems to freeze, it shows progress maybe a single pixel on the progress bar (expected about an hour or two (, no change). I checked the disk with disk utility, and that's okay. And when I try to boot from the CD directly (holding C) it's light gray screen with the Apple logo and the circle of dashes thing and freezes.

  So I thought that the solution might be to take the iMac hard drive, plug it into my MacBook Pro (early 2011) as external USB disk and install Panther on it. The fine wire work, I can read/write HD on MacBook Pro iMac, but Setup cannot start because it is assumed for PPC computers, while my MacBook Pro is based on Intel of course...

  Is there a way to install OS X supposed to PPC on the external drive to the Mac to Intel processor? Or maybe there are other ways to solve the problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  The solution is to understand why it does not work (as it should) while the drive is installed in the iMac.  You do not have to operate using the MacBook, because it cannot run the software for Mac PowerPC.

  Is Panther drive installing a retail disk?  In other words, a drive sold separately in a box for all models taken Mac supported.  NOT a disc that came with a specific Mac model.  If I remember, the detail for Panther disc is black with a big X silver, and it's an disc enabled, not only a single disc.  If you have a gray disk, it's a disc that came with a specific Mac model, and it may not work with your iMac.

• HP Mini 2102: Exchange hard drive on HP Minis (2102/110-1025DX)

  I have two HP Minis; 2102 and 110-1025DX. Both are running Windows 10 Pro and were responsible for similar programs.

  For several reasons, I want to be able to swap hard drives between these two devices, but I don't know how possible it would be. My questions are:

  1. The OS Win 10 Pro would be recognized by the new devices? Should I just change the product key after permutation to "force" an acceptance?
  2. Drivers: I don't know how the pilots could be loaded. They both use the HP Wizard, I could simply run to load the best drivers?
  3. 'Detail' is my MS Office programs; one of my main goals is to move from Office 2010 Pro Plus to the other Mini, but I lost the installation media. I said that office 2010 Pro Plus cannot be downloaded from MS as other office products.
  4. All that I'm missing?

  Thanks in advance for help on this issue.

  If the two laptops are allowed to run Windows 10 i.e. are "activated" you should be able to swap hard drives. 10 Windows is enabled by Microsoft's servers and they must recognize that the host of transplant (I'll use donor and host to refer to the original computer that had the hard drive and the computer where he ends up, respectively) is OK to run Windows 10. Just to be safe, I would have the key for the handy host but you shouldn't have to use it. Drivers will probably not be a problem because all netbooks are essentially the same material. If you're worried, drivers for the host system are held in a C:\swsetup folder on the hard drive that you can copy to use if necessary in the host system after transplantation.

  The question is the activation of the Office program. I'm not too familiar with how the works of its licensing and activation but I think there may be a problem of EULA with you trying to do or copyright.

  You can buy MS Office 2010 Pro Plus for cost not much:

• Clean hard drive and install Windows 7.

  I have a packard Bell desktop computer that was originally installed Windows Vista. When I bought it, I downloaded and created via the site of Packard Bell recovery disks. But last year, when I tried to recover my computer with disks that I realized my recovery disks did not work properly and I couldn't get my computer back. So I decided to buy Windows 7 instead of buying Packard Bell recovery disks. I was using my computer with Windows 7 until today. Today when I tried to wipe my hard drive and reinstall the software I could not install them because the error message said that there was not enough memory in the assigned disk drive. How can I clean all old Windows folders and other files in order to empty the hard drive and reinstall Windows 7 software?

  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

• external hard drive reformatting Mac for Windows

  I am running windows 7 I just picked up a new external hard drive. My computer does not show that it connected. The drivers have been installed and it says that the device is working properly, but I can't record on it or get my computer to recognize... Thank you S/R Art

  Hello and welcome!

  A new HDD may not formatted or partitioned as they won't know if you're going to use it on a Mac or Windows.

  When you connect the hard drive to your PC, Windows should have led you to format the drive.

  If not, click Start > search for create and Format hard disk permissions > then right-click on your external hard drive and select another format or create a new volume.
