Confused about the capacity of the HARD drive on my new Equium L350

I'm rather confused (normal state) about the capacity of my hard disk. This is supposed to be 120 GB but... On 'My computer', it shows that I have 23 GB of 55.7 left GB on Vista C and 49.8 54.5 on E of data that is delivered to about 110 GB.

I'm already about 10 GB missing but maybe that is taken up with hidden files. More worrying is that I have so little space on Vista C. Can I save files on the data partition, or is that a no-no? So far, everything I've loaded on it goes into Vista C.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

I agree with InvaderZim.

But there should also be another reason why the two partitions of HARD drive are smaller than the whole HARD disk.

I assume you are using the Vista operating system.
Vista uses hidden for some files from recovery partition.
If you check the Disk Manager, and you should see all available on your HARD disk partitions.

See you soon

  • Equium A100-338, replacing the hard drive

    Hi, the hard drive from my Toshiba Equium A100-338 just broke down on me, and now I think to replace. Because I'm not good material, I thought I have ask for advice about it here first. Is this an easy repair that can be done on your own? If so, how can I know if my computer match which new hard drive? I know that I need a 2.5 inch Sata-150 and all that, but I'm not sure of the compatibility.

    In addition, it is worth the money to make repairs like this on such an old computer? I wouldn't throw it out when everything else seems to work very well.

  • Sound weird coming from the hard drive, every Min or 2-Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520

    Not really sure if this is still a bad question. This player has not yet failed. It's just making a weird noise, I have no idea what could be the cause.

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=XwYSdD4fyRU

    The ticking, in this video, is exactly the same. The only difference. Undermines the fact every 1 min, sometimes every 2 minutes... and sometimes all 3 or 4 minutes. And he just does the ticking sound once. not again and again.

    If a tick from time to time. You can hear only - when everything is guiet? Just a tick and it disappears for a while?

    Does that mean that my drive has failed? Reason why I'm asking. After a year of use, the hard drive has failed-It just died. Dell has replaced the disc/Msata too. It was near another year, with replacement. Is this a sign that I should back up and save all my info. Contact dell.

    IF kills laptop another disk hard-is there a chance of the motherboard is defective?

    Things that I've tried - defragment the disk, I even check and repair sectors... found nothing.

    thought about upgrading to an ssd, but I really want to do, if the motherboard is to kill hard drives?

    Thanks for reading

    Here I am again, a bit frustrated... Has achieved a good response when I posted... but nothing else after that... Different response of old Story/Issue...same... (((I thought of it out on mine)))

    Don't know if that's the right answer, but I thought that if there was someone out there with the same problem, it might give you some answers.

    After reading and Goggling... I found a few different answers... "My favorite, but NOT CORRECT"... Your drive is dying, you must back up all the files and save them to an external disk, before it fails... where there is a click or a bad sector... it will multiply and more.

    Of course, there is a simple answer from someone who knows nothing about the hard drive. But incorrect. Especially if you do not experience problems or blue screens.

    A hard click or clunk, may be two different things. Non of them pointing to a player out. Depending on the player, it could be a bad sector. It could be one of 2 things, "THERMAL CALIBRATION ROUTINES", or it could be "ADVANCE DRIVE PROTECTION".

    I don't understand how an any of them work, but a quick Google search should provide you with answers.

    On my drive a simple defrag helped. Now I hear the noise, every once and awhile. Sometimes I don't hear it at all in a session. You are not sure if it was a coincidence? But I feel much better knowing what to do.

    Can someone tell me the procedure? I changed it once before, and I remember having to press one of the function keys when I turned on the laptop with the new hard drive installed.
    Should I have the recovery disk when the laptop is turned on with the new hard drive installed?

    You should take a look in your user manual. Sometimes you will find a detailed how instruction replace the HARD disk, but it according to your laptop model.

    If you swapped the HARD drive, you need to reinstall Windows. Therefore, you can take the Toshiba Recovery disk that will restore the initial setup in a few minutes with all the drivers and tools. You only have to boot from that drive and that s all! :)

  • Satellite A30 PSA30E - BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive

    Hi all
    I have a Satellite A30 (PSA30E) and I start the computer. When I enter the BIOS it does not recognize the hard drive.
    Does anyone no what I can do?
    Is it possible to restore the BIOS?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

    Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
    If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

    Please provide more info. You see error messages?

    You will need to replace the hard drive with a new hard drive compatible. SSDS are also compatible with your laptop.  Source reference dm4 laptop maintenance & service guide

    You will need the game of recovery disks or recovery media that you did after you set your laptop.  The recovery media to recover the operating system and applications provided with your laptop on a new hard drive.

  • How to upgrade the size of the hard drive and transfer all THE OS/software/data (image) of the original disk?

    HP desktop with a HDD normal computer. Win Vista 64-bit Windows.  But the question is generic for another one with Win7 and another with XP.

    The problem is that I want to do is to replace the hard drive with a new fresh Plus unit.  I want to keep exactly the same software as that on the original disc.   I want to know how to transfer data from the old disk to the new image.   I remember the old days BACK to copy just the files copy very well, but OS files data files and startup records, etc. etc. should be in areas on the disk, so you can not just copy the.  I know there are software packages ghosts to even a backup image to a computer, to recharge on a true double drive on a death warrant of the disc, but is it the same path to use for an upgrade?   Then, there will be no problem with MS or others by looking at the serial number of the disc material and decide on their software are installed on a new machine without a license?  etc.

    All experienced suggestions would be appreciated.

    IE brand disks: Seagate, WD, and a few others provide the software with the package of disk or from the Web site that allows cloning on the same drive size, but for a larger drive.  Acronis will be similar.  As long as the size of the disk is not unreasonable, they do it quite easily.  Depending on the age of the system, however, some may not tolerate the readers more great or the more recent huge 2 TB.

  • Re: Tecra A7 - what is the maximum capacity of the HARD drive?

    Hi all

    Is there any BIOS, hardware limitation of a hard drive replacement for Toshiba Tecra A7? I'm looking to install 500 GB hard drive. Will it work?

    Thank you
    Matt

    Hello

    As I know there is no limit of capacity on the HARD disk for Tecra A7 already has a SATA interface and a controller for the HARD drive.

    So, theoretically, 500 GB should work fine, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work.

    But you could give us a feedback here, how it works with 500 GB! ;)

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    This kind of information can give you just authorized partner. I found the info your device comes with 6 GB of HARD drive. Am I wrong?

    I'm sure you can use 10 or even 12 GB of HARD drive without any problem. If you want to use more than capacity, it is possible that it will not be recognized by the BIOS.

    I found an offereor which has guaranteed that even at 30 or 40 GB hard drives can be used on older models, but the BIOS should be handled with the special tool and is not for free.

  • Qosmio G30 - capacity of the HARD drive even after disable RAID

    Hi all

    I have a G30 with two hard drives, which were broadcast in RAID 1 configuration for a year now. For RAID 1, I activated the mirroring and everything worked perfectly.

    However, I'm now running out of space so I turned off mirroring using RAID console.
    My question is "why do I always see the same capacity of HARD drive when I go on my computer? I hope that there is a simple answer to this.

    Thank you for Uncle Bob.

    Can you see the drive in disk management?
    Perhaps the HARD drive is not enabled or needs to be formatted.

    And the BIOS recognizes the another HARD drive?

    No, at least not by us.

    Open a hard drive for some reason any at all can be done in special
    laboratory as parameters. Something else will destroy the disk.

    There are companies trying to recover data from broken disks,
    and they are sometimes successful. And who knows, maybe they
    sometimes use methods such as what you describe.

    But if you plan to use such a company, know what they
    are all very expensive. It does not for most people.

    For the future, if you have files you want to be sure are not
    lost, make sure to have in place a backup procedure on a regular basis the
    external media player.

    OK, until recently, the hard drive of my laptop couldn't, and I had to replace, no biggie, I really care about this laptop in any case. Then I threw ubuntu top and let it go from there.
