• Satellite L300-1bw - Question on the removal of the HARD drive password

  Hi, I own a L300-1bw, is seriously damaged (I'm going to scrap it) I had a HARD drive password to set.

  Now, a friend has a C660 - 26G, which I hope to use to remove the password (which obviously I know).

  Now, I plan to install in the C660 and go into the Bios to remove my HDD password, I will then put it it an external USB caddy.

  Does anyone know if this is likely to work.

  * Just to make it clear, it's my hard drive and I know that the password.*

  Hello

  I read in this thread that someone tried to remove the HARD drive password using a laptop from another manufacturer, and it did not work. But he managed to remove the HARD drive password using a Toshiba laptop.

  Usually, the HARD drive password is stored and encrypted on the HARD drive therefore, theoretically, that it should be possible to delete a password KNOWN to the HARD drive using the C660.

  So I would simply test it

• removal of the hard drive HP Pavilion s3360

  My HP Pavilion s3360 crashed 2 days ago, but because I had to buy a new pc anyway, I don't really mind. But I want to try to delete data on my drive hard (if he has not 'dead'...), so I tried to remove it, but the dvd drive is in the way (even I see not the HARD drive). I tried to remove the dvd drive, but that seemed to be stuck... I don't know much about computers, so I'd like some advice on how to remove the dvd drive (and after the HARD disk) on this particular type of pc.

• Satellite A100 - question on the removal of the HARD drive

  Hi all

  I opened the back panel and have Visual access to the hard drive. It is placed in a kind of rubber cradle / cage. Please advise on how to remove the hard drive and replace it with a new one.

  I need to do this is because I am faced with recurring problems of bad sector and now XP will not boot. So I intend to install a new 160 GB HARD drive and use the recovery disc.

  Also, I enclose the picture of the HARD drive in the laptop when the case was opened.

  [http://img116.imageshack.us/my.php?image=toshibahddrd3.jpg]

  Looking forward to your prompt response.

  Thanks in advance.

  Move the HARD drive to the left and the HARD drive will be disconnected. Place it on a flat surface like desktop and remove the two plastic covers by moving them to the left or the right.
  All that s!

• Removal of the HARD drive

  I'm pretty saavy with material and I create systems and have recently started to fix some laptops, but my DV9700t HP are a bit difficult (well, come to think, it's probably just me; you know, the 40-watt bulb in the box of 100 watt).  Anyway, here's the jist of the matter.  When I custom ordered this beast, I had HP put in Hitachi two 120 GB hard drives, 7200 RPM SATA.  My main drive fills up very quickly so I bought a new Hitachi 320 GB drive, 7200 RPM SATA to replace my second 120 which is practically empty (I'll put this one in my front door).  Anyway, I can't understand how the second 120 GB HARD disk frees itself from its Bay.  There are no screws in cradle Bay, only the four screws holding the HARD drive in the frame, and they are on the side of the chassis.  Someone besides the HP repair people has information or instructions on how to get this drive from the Bay.  I really hope that this isn't a matter of removing all the merits of the case, because it would just be a "what we thought"when we designed this baby"kind of thing...

  Thanks Hüffer!  Ever have the feeling that sometimes you have to be smarter than the object you try hard?  Thanks for the help.  It has already changed and put it back together.  Looks great.  I appreciate really help him.

• Windows XP Pro do not validate after the removal of the hard drive

  In an older machine, I have a copy of Windows XP Pro, it is validated and worked perfectly fine, until I removed a dying hard drive of the machine, then it is suddenly telling me that the OS is not genuine. I can't get to turn on again in a way that I can think of, and I don't see anything immediately above that might interfere with the activation. I would really not like to re - install the operating system, anyway I can activate it again without doing so would be greatly appreciated.

• Dell XPS 420 with Vista Home Premium, replaced the hard drive, download now blue screen errors

  My girlfriend has a desktop Dell XPS 420 quit working a year or 2 ago. A computer technician told me that it sounded as if the hard drive was bad, recently I purchased from Dell, a Seagate 1 TB hard drive (the original is a Western Digital 320 GB).

  I bought also, once again from Dell, a copy of its installation discs for Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

  I installed the new hard drive, correctly, as far as I can tell, but I tried several times over the past days to install Vista and a few times I got errors (BSoD) STOP and a few other times, Windows Installer errors.

  What's wrong?

  I run Dell diagnostics that took almost a whole day, but I don't think anything. I have not partitioned the hard drive, it's like 931 GB.

  I think that may be something related to the RAM, but I'm not sure.

  Thanks for any help.

• DELL PowerEdge 1800 Raid SCSI

  Hello!

  At the moment im dealing with a DELL PowerEgge 1800. It is used for BS that development issues - not a productive machine. Performance problems caused by SCSI for Dell Perc 4 controllers are well known, according to me. This is exactly my problem.  :|

  Attached to the Perc 4 there are 4 pcs. 146 GB pluggable hard drives to hot home. I want to change the Perc to something with more performance - but without changing something to minimize costs.

  I'm not able to find something suitable in the HCL for ESX4 (which is not to say it is not written there...). I need a single channel U320 raid controller with PCI - X or PCI-E interface. I Don t mind if it is not listed in the HCL (server is for test and dev only)-he comes to work.  And need a fairly cheap controller card.

  At first I thougt on an Adaptec 29320-R. But I read that this type of controller only is not supported by ESX 4 more because of the 64-bit compatibility.

  So I see two ways:

  1: find a suitable map (see above). Someone at - it ideas?

  2: return o ESX 3.5 because they could be more controllers can be used in this scenario. The 29320-R can be used here?

  THX in advance for your ideas...

  Martin

  In the compatibility section of material from the VMware site... ([http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?action=search&deviceCategory=io&productId=1&advancedORbasic=advanced&maxDisplayRows=50&key=&release] = 13 & datePosted =-1 & partnerId = 4] & [] ioTypeId = 1 & manufacturer [] = - 1 & vid = & did = & svid = & ssid = & rorre = 0)

  Site of Adaptec 29320ALP card supports support RAID 0, 1, and 10 only.

  The card 39320 is also listed in the HCL

  With several controllers Adaptec SCSI RAID more listed, you have to choose between. I am assured to seek those who would compatible with ESX/ESXi4 u1, but as far I can see, at least compatibility version 3.5.

  At this point, you will need to search with the features really, you need and a price you can get purchased cards.

• Removal of the hard drive on Inspiron 620?

  I must be really slow because I saw someone else asked this question, but how do I remove hard disks of the computer?  The online manual shows the years 620, which has a different configuration. This manual presents a tab on the cage of the hard disk that you push and then lift.  My 620 has no tab.  I pushed and pulled this thing in all directions without success.  I have removed the screws on the rails, but can not remove the individual unit either.

  Thanks for any help.

  There is the hidden for drive recovery partition. now, I've wanted this disk recovery partition removed for more space for important files of video editing.

  How can I remove this parition hidden containing the recovery disk?

  I bought the support for laptop recovery CD - I have no need of the hidden partition.

  in the process, I deleted the existing partition (not the hiiden recovery partition) and installed vista ultimate 32 and it lights without problem. I then installed
  the INF chipset utilitty downloaded from the Lenovo Web site, and then installed some drivers downloaded - and all in perfect condition smooth running.

  now, I decided to remove that hidden partition containing the disk recovery - whatever happens after that, I have the recovery CD.

  "" "This applies only to Windows Vista.

  * Make sure that you have backed up your OEM code before deleting the Rugged hidden

  The hidden restore Partition Lenovo is a protected partition, then you will not be able to remove it through disk management as you would with any other normal partition. You can use Diskpart. You can still use these steps to remove the hidden restore partition if you have already done a clean install, but you will need a 3rd party software to combine with the main partition. It is better if you remove the first hidden restore Partition, then cross with a clean install using one of the many guides available on this forum.

  Step 1.
  Burn recovery media. Type "Recovery media" (without the quotes) in the search in the Start Menu. Open the application and follow the instructions.

  Step 2.
  Open the application by typing Diskpart either 'Diskpart' (without the quotes) in the search, or type "Diskpart.exe" in run by pressing Windows key + R.

  Step 3.
  Now with open Diskpart, you must enter the following command lines:

  I. type "list disk" without the quotes and press ENTER.

  II. Type in "select disk 0" and press ENTER.

  III. then type in "list partition" and press ENTER.

  IV. then type in 'select partition x' x = the recovery partition you want to delete (I think it's 1, I do not remember) replace x with the number of recovery partition and press to enter.

  V. finally type in "delete partition override" and press ENTER.

  That should do the trick. Good luck!

• Step to convert the current Dell PowerEdge 1800 server in Esxi 4

  We have production server, which is Dell PowerEdge 1800 with Windows SBS 2003 with 3 hard drives in RAID. And then, we want to make this server as VMware Esxi 4 with the same Windows 2003 SBS server. We will replace the 3 new hard disks, but new readers are not the same as the old disks. What is the right next step? Because it comes to the production server, we cannot lose all data.

  1. use VMWare vCenter Converter to convert the current Windows 2003 SBS to VMWare workstation

  2. Replace with 3 new hard drives and install VMWare EsXi 4 CD

  3 use VMWare vCenter Converter to load WMWare workstation image into the new server Esxi 4.

  Please let me know if this is the correct order? Is there a risk? Thank you!

  Welcome to the community - that sounds about the right order =

• Conclusion removed the hard drive

  Our "old" laptop teacher at work will be used by students this year so our IT team has removed all hard drives.  Unfortunately, one of our teachers made a mistake on the external hard drive backup and lost his papers. The info was accidentally recorded on the hard drive... not the external drive. All hard drives (hundreds and hundreds) are now randomly laying in boxes.

  We can find the laptop that was hers, but is it possible to find the serial number for the hard drive that had been in it? Are the serial numbers for the laptop in any way linked to the serial number on the hard drive? Just try to find every way possible to help him.

  Not sure about the BONE... probably the latest or next to last.

  Thank you!

  There is no correlation between the installed hard drive and MacBooks in which they have been installed. Then the next number in the series could even have another brand of disc.

  Frankly, I can't remove these drives. A single pass of erasure with writing zeros would be crushed everything (but it takes all afternoon). Crushed once sufficient for everything but nuclear secrets.

• Dell Inspiron 545 s, compatibility of the hard drive.

  On my desktop Dell Inspiron 545 s, I want to replace the hard drive of 320 GB Western Digital (WDC WD320AAKS - 75L9A0 ATA) with a Western Digital 1 TB HDD (WD1002 FAEX) ' Black'.  It will be compatible with my system?  It not, what other disk hard Western Digital of same capacity is compatible?

  This drive will work fine.

• Remove the hard drive before sending for maintenance?

  Hi all, I'm somewhat new, so I hope that people can help me with this.

  My T400 mother board seems to be dead, which means I can't use the laptop at all. I called Lenovo service center and they told me to post my laptop for them (my warranty is still valid).

  However, I realized later that it was the small matter of trust all my data for them, so I called again to ask. A different operator recommended that I have remove all the hard drive before you post the phone for them. That's what I intend to do, but I forgot to ask if it was OK to remove the disk hard when there is a motherboard problem.

  Is it?

  No it will work as it did you do not have to do anything, it will have the same serial number of the system but have different material serial number

• Change a failing drive - RAID Dell Poweredge H310 - RAID 1

  Hi guys,.

  Thank you for everything that support you in these forums. I'm new here.

  We have a Dell PowerEdge T320 server on my new place of work. It is Dell Poweredge H310 RAID controller on it. It is configured in RAID-1, with 2 discs.

  Now my question is: in the event that one of the drives breaks down:

  1 - I should insert the new drive into the slot where the failed disk has been inserted, or in the following location?

  2 - will be the new drive automatically "copied" with the healthy disk data or it will need some work?

  I read the manual and chapter 'Replacement year Online physical disk', says the following, but I don't know the answer to these questions:

  1. in the management of virtual disks window, select Virtual Disk # and press the arrow key down until the physical disks is highlighted.

  2. press arrow right key to expand the list of physical disks that are members of the virtual disk.

  3. press the down arrow and select the desired physical disk that you want to replace. Press to view the list of operations permitted on the disc.

  4. Select Replace and then start.

  5. tap on the down arrow to select a replacement disk and then press the SPACEBAR to select the disk.

  6. click OK to start the replacement.

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Kind regards.

  Videoclocknet,

  You must remove the failed disk and replace it with another similar drive on the same niche. When you choose the following location, be sure to follow the steps in the virtual disk management screen (VD) as you have indicated.

  The failed drive will be replaced and the replacement drive will be one on the following location. Either way is perfectly fine. You can then monitor status of the VD and the reconstruction process using OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA).

  2 disks configured in RAID 1 act as a reflection of the other. Failure of 1 drive ensures that the same data are available on the other. When you replace the failed disk, the rebuilding process begins, and the same data gets automatically copied.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions.
