• Qosmio G20-108: RAID-> new HARD drive replacement - he does not want to mirror

  I have a laptop G20-108. The raid was quite happilly mirroring then Hdd2 failed. I removed the disk dirve and replaced by a new one [seagate 100 GB sata 150], but he does not want to mirror?

  The stuff of aide said she should recognize a new hard drive with a context menu? I do not have it, but when you click on the console's hard drive icons both say that they are what they should be, but they are both "affected"? Nine should be disconnected not online? should we not say reconstruction?
  I tried pressing the raid button turn off but it wouldn't let me!

  Help how to leave the raid console know it is a new drive and should rebuild Hdd1?

  Hello
  For the use of toshiba (stripping or Mirroring) RAID, you must have two identical drives. Your G20-108 model comes with 120 GB (60 + 60), two hard drives. If you bought a 100 GB hard drive, certainly it will not work.

  Try this, and you will have no problems:
  Make sure that the disks are identical; You can use two different brands, if they are the same size and speed, but it's a BAD IDEA, just get two new hard drives, same brand and size and you make life simple.

• Backups of Server 2008 R2 running slowly after deleting failed drive and adding new USB drive replacement

  We had a disk which is used for our backups on one of our servers using a USB docking station.

  (We use 5 x external hard drives for our backup schedule).

  I removed the defective drive and added a new using the correct wbadmin command.

  Now, everything works fine except that the backup now ends at 0831 considering that with the old disk, it would end to 0600.

  There is no any difference about this disc is in the USB docking station - it's just to take 2.5 hours more than previously on all players.

  Starting backup to 2100.

  What can I do to bring it back up to its initial speed?

  Thanks in advance,

• I want to clone my original equipment existing 500 GB HARD drive to a new 1 TB HARD drive replacement. How?

  G ' Day,.

  I'm getting too big for my old 500 GB HARD drive, so I bought a new 1 TB HARD drive.

  Now I have all of the rescue disks that I made when I first got my laptop Compaq Presario CQ57-105TU . I could use them & fresh install all software & original OS, but then I have to start from scratch and re-install all the software I have installed, in addition to redo all adjustments & changes I made to the Windows 7 operating system since the first day - a year ago.

  Not really how I want to spend the next week or two around.

  I would like to clone the orig 500 GB HDD & all of its content to a new 1 TB of HARD drive.

  Sounds like where I want to go, but for 1 small question. I heard that if I just I'll have about 500 GB of space available new but I was also told that I will not be able to create new partitions of disk on the new HARD drive because of any existing partitions on the original HARD disk are created.

  1. is this true?

  2. in the case, where can I find a failsafe procedure to accomplish the clone, & then create 2 new partitions to cover the free space on the new drive.

  3. If so, is there a work around? If there is what is the procedure (plse give me cramps of brain with the jargon of techno... tnx)

  Some additional information that might be important.

  At the present time, my HARD drive has this configuration:

  

  Now that (Q) Local drive is diferent.  It shows 0 bytes available & 0 bytes used, & I don't have access to it.

  Computer of my wife... another laptop CQ62 model... also has the same drive,

  but hers is labeled as Microsoft Office 2010 Starter... as 0 bytes available & used - also no access, & as below, not showing is not in Dmgt.

  This drive does not appear in my Configuration of MANAGEMENT OF RECORDS : http://i.imgur.com/r4LPrDa.jpg

  Thanks for your time & consideration... Bobby

  Him early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese

  OK...'s done it!

  I used my CLONING HDD DOCKING STATION friends exactly like this, but he bought from a different seller 2 years ago.

  All I did was take my 500 GB drive original & placed in A slot (the front slot - Master) & I placed the new Toshiba 1 TB disk in slot B (the second slot behind Slot A... Middle - Slave). I turned the power on the box. I waited until readers spun & were ready, & I don't have a press the red button on the box...

  25% light started to blink & cloning began...

  About 40 minutes later 50% light began to Flash & the 25% brightness has remained stable.

  This means that 25%of the process has been done, & he went to 50%. .

  This sequence was continued until finally all the lights were on fixed (25% to 100%) which means that the clone was complete.

  I think it took about 2 hours and 15 minutes to clone completely.

  I closed the box power off. Then, I removed the two discs.

  I installed the new drive in the laptop carefully, & reinserted the battery, & I plugged power/charger/adapter sector of the laptop.

  Then, I ran into my fingers & press work / laptop computer shutdown.

  A few seconds my laptop has been as always to initialize.  I just had to check to make sure that I have installed the new drive... & Yes the one on the desk was the original, no doubt which means that my laptop startup disk was indeed the new drive I cloned just to.

  My laptop is started without fault!  without a hitch. Just as he always had.

  I used my computer management Administrative tool - disk management & made a simple volume for the 450 + GB of free space, affecting the next letter available player - in my car (F) case & I named it so.

  Everything worked perfectly, I can read & write on the new partition/volume. As I mentioned previously, I probably won't be able to start from scratch, but my drive (C), but it's fine for me.

  So, what have I learned?

  Well, first of all, my Compaq Presario CQ57-105TU can go to 1 TB of HARD drive without modification.

  Using the cloning method, I did no doubt saved full at least 1 weeks of resettlement work if I selected the new installation method using backup/rescue disks when the computer was first, I created started way back when.

  Outside the 2 + hours time, it took to clone the drive, 15 +/-minutes initially to remove & reinstall the drive, & the time it took to assign the new free space a drive letter (every 5-10 minutes) the procedure was clearly simple cut, I know could have been done differently, but not as simply as the method I chose.

  Pepe, thank you much for the time you spent researching my issues & responding to my message.

  I'm so glad all your fears & roadblocks have been made not, & in the end, it was possible to accomplish the task against our initial concerns - count in a very loose way with the greatest ease.

  Here are some pictures of the Station of Clone (the box) exactly like the one I used:

• How can I put in a new hard drive to replace the main HD that crashed and that contains the operating system

  My HD C: broke down and needs to be replaced.  It contained the operating system (XP).  My other drive is OK.  I have all the original cdroms, including the operating system.
  I need to know if I should be careful what it is.

  Hello Nigel

  Each hard drive is different with their adjustment as far as riders go unless you have purchased the same exact model. Make sure that you set the jumpers on the correct setting for the new hard drive with the manual that came with the hard drive. You can also reconnect the cables of data and power supply for the reader who does not appear because they can be loosened.

  Hello Vishal,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

  If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.

• HARD drive replacement when original is discontinued MK3265GSX - VPCEB15FG -.

  Hello

  I'm in the United Kingdom and in the disk HARD in my VAIO VPCEB15FG (Sony-Asia) is dead and I need to replace. However, I can't buy the original HARD drive more as it has been deleted from Toshiba (MK3265GSX). The Toshiba site mentions he was "replaced" by a new model "MK3276GSX.

  This new model will allow me to use my VAIO recovery CD?

  I learned from a rep in my local Sony Centre that he expected to be allowed as long as the alternative is non - AF.

  In addition, what if the replacement HARD drive is bigger than the original?

  Thank you very much!

  @Woodaaay

  No, the size of the HARD disk does not matter as long as the hard drive is a non - AF, it should work. Yes the VAIO recovery CD works even on a new HARD drive.

  Hope this helps

  If your system already has Windows installed and activated 10 follow my instructions here to directly download and reinstall clean Windows 10:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/a-clean-install-of-Windows-10/Windows-10-clean-reinstallation-via-bootable-USB-from-ISO/

  Looks like you're in this scenario.

  Note Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 editions are specific. If your system came with Windows 8.1/10 unilingual homepage, Windows 8.1/10 will not be activated.

  Unfortunately there is no clear marker for end users to determine the edition so my advise is to try first to try Windows 10 Home, if she does not activate Windows 10 unilingual homepage.

  Get a SSD for optimal performance.

  Dell have updated drivers for Windows 10 pilots (WT64a) system:

  See installing the driver recommended order:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/2015/09/27/driver-installation-order-Windows-10/

  If Windows 10 was not enabled you must reinstall Windows 8.1 and then upgrade. Follow my instructions here:

• I bought a new hard drive to replace my old, broken, what do I have to buy windows again?

  Hello world!

  I have a laptop very old but relatively powerful. The hard drive on this laptop broke about two years ago and I did not get around to fix until today. I bought a new hard drive and tried to download Windows 7 on a disk from the internet, I entered the product key located on the bottom of the laptop but I was arrested when I was told that the software is preinstalled on the previous hard disk by the manufacturer. It seems that the key I is still active on my old broken hard drive. Y at - it no word-all about this problem? or do I have to buy Windows 7 for my work laptop?

  Any help would be great, thanks.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?
