  Monastir,

  What happens when it stops it is have a Sata driver. It is on the drivers cd you received with your computer. You can also start the computer and press F2 to enter the bios. From there down to Configuration system - SATA Operation and change this to ATA. It is located to AHCI. Save the changes and restart the installation. Once you have loaded Windows and drivers installed, you will need to go back to AHCI.

  Hello SNQQPYSALS,

  You have a few choices:

  1. contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of recovery DVDs.

  They do it for a small fee.

  2 borrow a Microsoft Vista DVD from a friend, etc. (NOT a recovery DVDs) Microsoft DVD will contain all versions of Vista.

  This is your product key that determines which version is installed.

  Just make sure you take the correct 32-bit or 64-bit DVD in Vista 'bit' come on 2 different DVDs.

  3. IF your hard drive is still working, make a game of the recovery before it completely Partition recovery DVDs fails.

  The manufacturer will tell you how.

• New HARD drive - how to install Windows?

  Hey guys,.

  I have a problem with my Dell Dimension 9150. A friend of mine gave me as a gift, because I built his new computer. We put his HARD drive in his new computer.

  The problem is: there is no CD of his computer.

  I have the original Windows XP and Windows MCE and CD licenses. The Dimension has a MCE key so I would like to install MCE.

  After installing a new HARD drive, I tried to install Windows. BIOS shows me the HARD drive. When I start the installation of Windows and choose "Windows Installer", I get to the screen where I can choose, what partition I would use. But installing Windows shows me no HARD drive!

  Don't know if I need SATA drivers? If I should need it, where can I find them? And how to get them in the Windows installation? I know that I can load pressing F6, but I don't have a floppy device.

  Would be great, if someone could help me.

  
  

• Portege 3500: Need a new HARD drive

  Hello

  I bought a Portege 3500 and after a few weeks of use, the hard disk or fan (safe) started to make loud noises and now every time I turn on the laptop screens toshiba rises and it happens eventually to a screen I wrote what he said below.

  I read somewhere that this means that my hard drive is over and I have to buy a new hard drive.
  Is this true and if so anyone know where I can get a drive hard because the laptop is old?

  The only one I've seen that is in stock is of about £230 and it's about the same price, I bought the laptop.
  Or is there a solution ive tried going on in all modes but it just restarts and Ive also tried to reinstall the OS using the cd but I can't in the menu option to reinstall XP.

  "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

  If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically closed down to protect your files and folders, select last good known Configuration to return to the most recent settings that worked.

  If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the Power or Reset button has been activated, or if you are not sure what caused the problem, choose Start Windows normally.

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt
  Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
  Start Windows normally

  Use top and down arrow keys to move the selection of your choice.

  Hello

  AFAIK Portege 3500 was equipped with the 40 GB IDE HDD.
  This is why you must use an IDE hard drives (not SATA).

  Now, it would be important to know what max HD size could be compatible;
  If the laptop supports 40 GB I think a 60 GB HARD drive might work too.

  I think that you should just google for some 40 GB, 60 GB hard drives, that supports the IDE!

  Best regards

• Satellite C660 - need a new hard drive, but which?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-1f1 run windows 7 64-bit. 320GB hard drive there and I want to replace preferably with greater capacity, a but I'm not sure what would be appropriate.

  Anyone has any suggestions please?

  Hello

  Satellite C660, but also other models of notebooks to new generation supports the SATA controller, which means that you need a HARD drive 2.5 SATA.
  The size of the HARD disk is not relevant for the compatibility of the devices. This means that you can use HDD of 250 GB, 500GB etc.

  But I wouldn't take a HARD drive for an upgrade. I would choose an SSD. This SSD drive is more expensive but believe me; It of certainly worth taking a SSD instead of HARD drive.
  You will get great performance gain. This SSD drive is also very quiet.

  Maybe it s best option for you

  After the back if you want more suggestions.

  You have the DVD player external usb? If this isn't the case, you will have to do a Windows 8 reinstall the USB key. You have access to another computer? I can link you to a download of a 64-bit Windows 8 .iso image and a program that will take this .iso and reconfigure on a USB key (minimum 4 concerts) for resettlement. You'll just have to get your drivers from this site and you will be ready to go. In how far gone is the existing drive? If you could pull the C:\swsetup folder out of the existing drive and store it you would have all the drivers and applications preloaded from your laptop.

• Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6: need a new hard drive for the dv6-1230us

  My question is about the HP Pavilion Entertainment dv6-1230us PC. Recently, it was abandoned, and since then it has been giving me the following message if poster every time it starts.

  Not found boot device
  
  Please install an operating system on your hard drive.
  
  Hard Drisk (3F0)
  
  F2 System Diagnostics
  
  "For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup"
  
  I know it's important to run the hard drive test, but when I run the diagnostics of the system for the Test drive, it says:
  "HDD test failed.
  There is no hard drive.

  I was also on the proposed site and even after "reset my BIOS to default", it recommends running the hard drive test, which does not simply because it has not really helped me the "there is no hard drive. There was a YouTube video that I came across thus suggested pulling the hard drive and diconnecting and reconnect to correct the error in this case that the son is detached, but that no longer works.

  SO, I don't know if there is anything more that I can do, I guess that the hard drive is super dead.

  It comes with a Seagate ATA hard drive. I was wondering if I could replace it with a SATA hard drive or should it be an ATA? (Even has the material capacity to support a SATA drive?)

  Also, it is even useful to replace the hard drive? Should I get a new laptop instead? This laptop is used mainly for just browsing online and checking emails.

  Any help is appreciated, thanks.

  Yes, the hard drive is so dead, that he not yet register as a hard drive. The dv6-1000 series certainly uses SATA, not ATA drives so I'm not sure of what you see. You can replace it with any drive SATA 2.5 inch width 9.5 mm thick.

  Watch this video between: 53 and: 59 and see that it's a SATA drive. If yours is different, so you have confused with your model.

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=QQx7PlIXFuE

  Hard disks are a small fraction of the cost of a laptop and if your what it takes to, I would say that to replace the hard drive rather than buy a new one.

  It is an excellent drive at a great price:

• New computer, transfer of hard drives... How can I access the files executable for MS Word or, more importantly, Visual Studio 2012?

  I had an old computer get taken out by a storm. I managed to save to computer hard drives and installed them in a new computer. I can see my programs MS Word, PowerPoint, etc. and Visual Studio 2012. The problem I have is to find the executables for these programs so that I can actually use them. Is there a work around or do I still have to pay for them? VS is a pro version and more than 2K last I checked! Am I missing just the files in a folder, that I don't see? I seem to be able to find the files exc for other programs. (Rosetta Stone)

  Really, I don't want to buy these programs and will probably go to another (more accessible) suite of software, if necessary. I can write the code in other IDEs and use another desktop software which ensures the compatibility of the MS products if that's the case.
  Thank you for your time and understanding,
  HH

  You cannot run programs from the old hard disk, they must be reinstalled on the new installation of Windows computers.

  Apart from the home folder for Office who would be in the Program Files folder, directory on the original drive Setup performs a number of other things. It will make hundreds of changes to the registry, install many libraries and sign them and put some files in the Windows directory itself.

  Also, if the version of Office that was on the old computer came with the PC, it's more likely to be an OEM license. As such, it cannot be installed or run on the new computer as a limitation of the original end user license agreement.

• Tecra M2 - I need a new HARD drive compatible

  Hi, I just bought a 2nd hand Tecra M2, but the hard drive will be replaced soon because it is endangered. I found a hard drive on ebay that says it's compatible, it says in the title for the hard drive

  "Toshiba Laptop Tecra TE S2 S1 M3 M2 M1 hard disk 120 GB.
  (Here's a direct link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toshiba-120GB-Laptop-Hard-Drive-Tecra-TE-S2-S1-M3-M2-M1_W0QQitemZ230361558318QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCC_Dri ves_Storage_Internal? hash = item35a29e6d2e & _trksid = p 3286.m63.l1177)

  but there seems to be so many models of m2 that I don't know if this drive will be compatible with each other. I'm a novice, if you have not already guessed! So, I would be very grateful for the advice. Model No. my particular M2. is PTM20E-01KK3-FR

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  For the Tecra M2 you need a HARD drive with IDE interface, and this means that the HDD from eBay should also work on your laptop properly.

  As far as I know the Tecra M2 may due the only handful of 28-bit LBA limit s HDD up to 128 GB 120 GB HARD drive should work. :)
