• Windows Boot Manager, I want to change the Configuration of hard disk

  I have a computer with two former 500 GB Hard Drives.  The "Legacy" operating system is installed on the first physical hard disk in the system and Windows 7 is installed on the second physical hard disk, they are the identical WD drives.  I bought a new Seagate Barracuda 1000 GB drive, I want to use in place of the mark.

  So currently I have:

  SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

  SATA-5, score 0: 500 GB Windows 7

  With the new player, I want to:

  SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

  SATA-0, Partition 1: 500 GB Windows 7

  I have disk imaging software, able to copy both disks to the new partitions on the new disk.  What I want to know is how can ensure me that I continue to get the start menu to see the two operating systems.

  Of course, I will still have the old hard disks available, and I can always put them in.  It's just that the cloning process takes a long time, and I would like to have my procedure in advance.  The first time I have start the system with the 1 TB drive, it will not be a disk of 500 Go SATA-5, score 0: in the computer.  I don't know which files must be modified to search for Windows 7 in the new location.

  I shouldn't need to do a reinstall of windows.  I think I found the answer to what I was looking elsewhere.

  I remember that two years ago, when I set up the Dual boot system, I followed these instructions:

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/8057-dual-boot-installation-Windows-7-XP.html

  When I did, I had a dual boot menu:

  -Old Version of Windows

  -Windows 7 Professional

  Of course I meant "Windows XP" rather than "earlier Version of Windows.  I searched and found that a tool exists to modify this menu.  I don't remember what they called the tool when I presented this request.  I was pretty sure that the tool would allow me to have the change of start menu where he sought the installation of Windows7.

  Today, I found the name of the tool, it is called BCDEDIT. EXE.  It allows you to safely edit the menu file, and startup locations resemble the old file boot.ini of Windows NT days.  Here's what the tool then generates on the command line.

• configuration of hard disk for Premiere pro

  I have ssd and 2 hard drives, what is the best configuration for encoding with Premiere pro cs5

  My suggestion is to get a good another SSD and use your current (if it's a decent) for operating system/Application files more Adobe left put the media Cache database Cache files in the default location of the C: drive.  Put your project, the media and the rest of the project on the second SSD files.  When you have finished a project essentially, move the files on the second SSD for the drives for archiving and backup.  To keep your C: drive clean then you can delete the media Cache/media Cache database and if you have any project to reopen quickly they will regenerate.

  I take this to the extreme, I use one of my Samsung Q1 (now a new T3 model is available) USB 3.0 SSD is like my second SSD and this way I can walk from my laptop on my desk with the current project or taken different second USB 3.0 SSD and instantly change projects.

• Pavilion p100dx: need to HARD disk for my pavilion p100dx configuration

  Hello team,

  Recently my hard drive of the laptop broke and now I need to replace my hard drive P100DX Pavilion.

  To do this, I want to know the configuration of HARD disk as

  1. 2.5 or 3.5
  2. What is SATA or SATA-no?
  3. SATA is compatible for it?
  4. What is the size of the HARD drive that needs to be? -height, length and width.
  5. Seagate HARD drive would be compatible.
  6. pointers for the HARD drive to buy.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It's a laptop HP Pavilion 15-p100dx ?

  http://support.HP.com/au-en/document/c04463224

  If Yes, then

  1. it uses standard 2.5 "HDD.

  2. it is a SATA HDD,

  3 SATA III (or 3) and SATA II (or 2) is compatible.

  4. all standard HDD laptops would use the same width and length, thickness (hright) can be varry slightly, but your laptop supports 7 mm or 9.5 mm. Better use 9.5 mm because you don't need a frame fill to increase his height.

  5. Yes, HP doesn't produce HARD drives for laptops, it uses Seagate, Toshiba and a few other brands.

  6. you can buy in any computer store BestBuy or Amazon, Newegg...

  Kind regards.

• Need help with my hard disk configuration

  Hi guys,.
  Ive read a lot about the best configuration of hard disk for my editing video pc... but I need some feedback. Here are my specs. Im running Windows 10 with this HD configuration. I use my system for Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Lightroom, and After Effects.

  1 SDS drive 250 GB operating system, program files, swap file

  2 HDD (sata III) of disk 2 TB stockmedia / assets / my documents

  Disc 3 HARD drive (sata III) projects 2 TB

  4 drive HARD drive (sata III) 750Go export/renders, PP previews

  5 HARD drives (sata III) of disk cache AE, PP, scratchdisk photoshop, captured 750Go audio/video media cache

  
  

  If it would be really beneficial to my performance, I also have another HARD drive disc (sataIII) 2 TB which I could build in the case.

  It looks all right? Or you guys change anything? I have a RAID configuration, but what I understand... RAID 3 or 5 would have need of more disks (same size preferred) and preferably a hardware controller. But my budget will not allow this for now.

  Thanks in advance for your comments guys...

  You probably already read this, but if you do not page Tweakers: Disk Setup

  you drive configuration looks good, you can use the windows resources monitor to determine if the readers are struggling as well.

  If I had to change something, I would try 2x2tb raid 0 (disk 2 and 3) for media/assets/projects using mbd raid (if your mbd supports raid). I might even try to add the spare hard drive 2 TB, 3x2tb RAID 0 for performance even more. If 'my documents' is just random storage (not for your active video projects), you can move to another drive out of the raid, as the 4 drive or another room to spare. Since you already have these parts, raid can be a good way to boost performance for free. any raid can add some risks more data loss, so you just make sure that your backups stick to the currents. You can save a copy of the project first (just the file .prproj) in a few different places at the end of your editing sessions, or use auto-enregistre to another location, to avoid having to save as much.

  Moreover a unique fast sata ssd is comparable to 3 hard drives in raid, so you could look (s) ssd, sata for better cheaper and simpler vs an expensive hardware raid card. SATA ssd prices keep falling off and show no signs of slowing down, so if/when you get some later, they could be even more affordable.

• Why the hard disk is divided into partitions of two data (C:Vista and E: Data)?

  I just started a new A200-1V0 and found that disk space is divided into two partitions of sizes equal 'C:Vista' and ' E: Data "(and a small one EISA).

  WHY? What is the logic and purpose? It's not even as if the C:Vista partition is smaller and intended only to the tricks of the 'system' as the root 'Users' (user Documents) is on it also.

  This is the default for Vista (my first use of it), if not, who said that Toshiba could do this without asking me?

  How can I move the root 'Users' in Vista (in the data partition) - if I have two partitions that I might as well use it?

  I can resize partitions in Vista without a utility 3 rd-party (or a complete backup/restore)?

  Thank you

  Hello just YOU

  Please don't be offended because there is no reason for this. You bought the new product with the factory settings. Toshiba and other hardware manufacturer do not know every customer personally and, unfortunately, it was not possible to ask YOU how to set up YOUR laptop.

  Because of this, there is a recovery of product support that allows to configure the HARD disk according to your wishes and needs.

  Please use this DVD and install OS how you want it to be. What recovery procedure starts, you will see CONFIGURATION option on the right side. Click on it and choose the right option.

  Reinstall the OS and enjoy your life. Really, I don't have the time to write on the floors of two partitions, because this is basic stuff and you probably don't want to waste your time to read this.

  Bye and good luck!

• Pavilion dv7t-4100: hard disk failure

  Hello

  I got a Smart disk error, and then I went through the hard drive test, finally got this code:

  GK0468-5AR712W-XD002K - 60A 203

  What should I do now?

  Thank you.

  Hello
  
  Does that mean hard drive is faulty / failed.
  
  Make your model have two hard drives, or is it only a configuration of hard disk?
  
  You have to replace the failed with a new similar form factor.
  
  Any notebook internal 9.5 mm good brand 2.5 inch SATA HDD would work.
  
  Manual - Page 52-58 for the replacement procedure:
  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02666747
  
  If you are under warranty, HP will send you replacement free of charge.
  
  You must use the recovery media after replacement, to restore factory settings.
  If you do not, you have to order from HP in your area directly.

• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

• Hard disk Configuration question...

  Hello

  I just ordered a new Qosmio custom.  It has an i7 Processer 4700MQ and 16 GB DDR3L 1600 MHZ SDRAM.  The primary HD is an mSATA SSD 256GB.  The second and third HDs are the two 500 GB (7200 RPM, Serial ATA)

  I'm looking for the best configuration of the installation for the first Pro on hard disks for best results with respect to the speed and efficiency.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you for your consideration.  It is a big problem for me and I am in kind of uncharted waters with several hard drives.  It is a big step up.  (I'm not a professional.  It's all related hobby)

  It looks like a portable Setup loud enough!

  I suggest doing a RAID 0 the two HDS and most all the data files (media, projects, export) on the RAID. This should give you the best performance for your hardware.

  For files of zero and cache you can experiment with try them first on boot/OS/programs (SSD) drive vs RAID array 0.

  Good luck and please report your finds for your specific projects.

  Kind regards

• Configure a raid with a single HDD on board more than 2 external HARD disk.

  Hello

  I run Win8 Pro 64 bit with Media Center, updated Win 7 Media Library on a 27-1007ev HP all in one desktop pc with a 500 MB HARD drive inside.

  I have 2 external hard drives - one is 1.5 TB used to store data such as pictures and videos etc. NAWL, the other is a 2 TB used as a backup device.

  I want to set up a Raid mirror on the PC's HARD disk to one of the sources, without having to do a reinstall if possible.

  I appreciate the external ability could be underutilized unless I upped the HARD internal disk capacity to match.

  Any advice warmly welcomed.

  Rob

  Hello

  The motherboard in your PC's bios for RAID support.  In addition, there are only two ports SATA; one for the HD and the other for the CD/DVD drive.

  You can use a function of storage W8.  Check out this video W8 storage space.  You cannot use the current drive although I got it to work a long time ago, but have not tried to do recently.

  Another possibility would be to try a software RAID using only two USB external drives. Other possible combinations, but none are going to be as robust as using the bios RAID supported feature.

• Location of the bookmarks on an old hardrive that is not Windows, running but the old hard disk files are accessed through another hard drive.

  The old hard disk does not run Windows, so access to the usual file through Windows Explorer or Firefox has not worked for me. The old hard drive is now a slave drive and all files are intact and accessible via the new Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

  You have Windows configured to display the hidden files and folders? If not, do it as soon as the first. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7

  Then, what version of Windows do you have on the old drive? Your profile folder must be on the way there:

  Windows XP and earlier versions:

  \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Windows Vista and later:

  \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  If you find multiple profile folders, see the recent order. You find a subfolder named bookmarkbackups. This article describes how to restore the .json files, you will find: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.

  A little luck?

• Portege S100 - upgrade after cloning BSOD & HARD disk

  Hi all

  I wonder if anyone can help me please. I have a laptop Portege S100 with a standard 80 GB drive. I want to upgrade to a 200 GB drive.
  Here's what I did.

  I ran Acronis to save an image of the 80 GB HARD drive. All backed by an external USB disk and checked. I inverted the readers and restored the image on the 200 GB drive. All restored and verified.

  I restart the PC with the new hard drive in place. "Windows XP" logo comes up, then aarrgh blue screen. Stop x7B.
  Swapped the old disk, system boots fine.
  Check in the BIOS, with the old hard drive in place that the RAID configuration is enabled by default

  New swap disk, JBOD configuration is enabled in the BIOS. Could this be why it is not booting? If I want to activate the RAID configuration, it is ok, but I'm told that it will wipe the hard drive!

  I have no qualms about wiping the new hard drive, but it will work? If I change the RAID configuration, then restore the image? The only reason why I have not done it so far is because it took some time to create the image, and then writing it back on the new disk and at that time there the owner of the laptop is needed it back. !

  Help appreciated!
  Thank you very much
  Alex

  Hello!

  Can you post the BSOD detailed please?

  I'm a little confused on RAID m parameters are you wrote. As I know the Portege S100 can handle only a single HARD disk.
  In addition, you must use the same settings as with the old HDD RAID.

  Maybe the SATA controller has a limitation of LBA 28 bit and can't handle a 200 GB HARD drive. In this case, the larger HARD drive should have 120 GB. Here you can learn more about the limitation:
  http://www.48bitlba.com

  Last but not least, you can see the new HARD drive for errors. Maybe it s faulty. For this, you can use the Drive Fitness Test:

  Sorry, but for the moment I put t have more ideas.

  Good bye

• T1200XE error fall on hard disk 0 initialization

  Hello!

  I just bought an older T1200XE. When I start the laptop, it prints the message "error initializing hard disk 0" after the memory test, (a few seconds). I have to start with a floppy disk BACK.

  If I run FDISK, after awhile, it says 'Disc read error fixed', but if I run FDISK/status it shows me the disk of 20 MB. I downloaded FreeDOS and the FDISK, including in this OS says "controller error".

  I have an another T1200XE and this is exactly the same!
  I can't believe that two controllers or hd is dead!

  It may be possible that the free battery CMOS have erased the BIOS, but, how can I access the BIOS and configure the 20 MB HD? any idea? The setup1.exe program do not have a HD section...

  Help please!

  Thank you to.

• A MK-8025GAS HARD disk will fit in my M10 Pro Sat?

  I think my laptop satellite PRO M10 HD upgrade but I do not know if the Toshiba 80 GB HD MK-8025GAS fits well inside the laptop. would be any problem of pins or something similar? I did look at other Toshibas not HD and they are not due to external HD case, near the axis side.

  Can any boyd help me?

  The response of the Toshiba storage Division was:
  "For more information about using a 80 GB HARD drive, contact the manufacturer of your laptop."

  Yes really well!

  Hello

  As you probably know hard drives manufactured by Toshiba, you can find in the notebooks of different laptop manufacturers. Toshiba HARD drive producer is not obliged to test the compatibility of products with thousands of laptop models. Regarding that it is OK.

  Back to your question: your laptop model comes with 30, 40 and 60 GB HDD, depending on the hardware configuration. Unfortunately there is no public document on the compatibility of the HARD disk for your model, but it is possible that 80 GB HARD drive will not be recognized correctly by the BIOS. If you wish, you can contact the Service of your country partner and try to pick up a few details.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A - Windows Setup cannot find a HARD disk

  Hi all

  I have a laptop which is a Toshiba A-Series and a few days ago, I had a problem on my laptop.

  Then I decidec to format my laptop Toshiba using Windows XP CD then there arrived a few steps, it gives the following error message:

  Setup did not find hard disk drivers installed in your computer.

  Make sure that the hard disk drivers are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that no matter what disk - related hardware configuration is correct. It may be running a manufacturer - distribute diaagnostic installation program.

  The installation program cannot believe. To quit Setup, press F3.

  Could someone help me with this!

  Concerning

  Hello!

  Have you looked for a bit in the forum for this problem? You will find a large number of threads.

  However, you need the SATA drivers if you are installing your notebook computer with the Microsoft installation disc.
  I put t know what laptop do you have but for laptops equipped with Intel chipset, you need Intel Storage Manager.

  Download the drivers on the Web from Toshiba or Intel site, copy it to an external floppy drive and load it with F6 after booting from the CD.
  Or create you your own installation with nLite [www.nliteos.com] disc.

  Good bye
