• Disk replacement HARD Qosmio F60-111

  Hello

  There was a hardware error in my laptop and the dealer told me that there is an error with a hard drive and it will be replaced under warranty.

  My question is that is that the new drive will come with the same configuration and the score of the original hard drive? I mean that it will be a breast hidden restore partition?

  My laptop is Qosmio F60-111

  > My question is that is that the new drive will come with the same configuration and the score of the original hard drive? I mean that it will be a breast hidden restore partition?

  The new drive HARD would not be partitioned and contain all the data!
  After replacing HARD drive, you must use the recovery disk in order to install the system, the drivers, tools and for the partitioned HARD drive.

  Did you create a recovery disk in the past?

• Replacing hard drive for Satellite 2450-101

  Hi, my laptop hard drive is broken and I need a hard drive replacement for my aging * Satellite 2450-101 * urgent, but I can't find my mannual and another source model support for portable computers.

  I thought it was a * standard internal 2.5 "IDE * (and thinking about buying a digital _Western 250GB 2.5" IDE hard drive 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache - OEM, model _: _WD Scorpio WD2500BEVE - 250 GB - ATA-100_), but I am not sure.
  If anyone knows? Help, please. Thank you very much!

  I think 120 GB maximum capacity too.

  If you have misplaced the user manual you can download it on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online downloads support & -online manual

  I founded you can use a second HARD drive in the Bay to select if you need more disk space.
  Drive external HARD is also a good solution for more disk space.

• Memory and disk HARD upgrade question - Satellite 5200 801

  Hi all

  I really need your help to upgrade my toshiba Satellite 5200 801 (model: PS520E-31P1D-EN), basically it's the version specification factory (technical instructions on the link below)
  http://www.cwrose.de/Toshiba/S5200.html

  What I want is to get faster internal memory, you can buy for this model (currently I have two default 256 mb DDR 266 MHz CL2.5 memory sticks). Will probably do a gig of memory (I could have more, but it depends on the price).
  As well, I want to spend the HD to 160 gig (about), as well as get a faster hard drive then the current 60gig 4200 RPM Hitachi HD (as soon as possible for the specifications of my laptop).

  Anyone know what would be the best option?

  Someone said that it would cost all under 100 (that would be cool), but I don't know anything about the compatibility of different companies etc.
  Can anyone recommend what equipment... .and where * I hope that ebay or studs :)
  I need to go to get this sorted out

  PS:
  FYI, I mostly use the laptop for graphic design, video, and the interwebz.

  Thanks for any help you can give!

  Hello

  You can upgrade the Satellite 5200 801 memory and HARD drive.
  S for laptop computer memory can be improved up to 1 GB of RAM. So you can use 2 x 512 MB PC2100 DDR - RAM modules.

  Check this link 5200-801 Satellite:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=6116&ft=m&St=3

  In my opinion, you can use the modules of memory from different manufacturers, but the module must support these specifications: 200-Pin PC2100 (266 MHz) DDR SODIMM
  I suppose you could also use a 400 Mhz because the laptop supports a 400 Mhz FSB too.

  I think that an upgrade of the IDE 160 GB HARD disk is not possible. To my knowledge, the BIOS can support such massive size of the HARD drive. But this is only my personal opinion. If I was you I would try a smaller HDD like 100 GB or 120 GB.

• Disk replacement HARD satellite 1800-400,

  Prices differ as much here, so I think to replace my broken HD Toshiba (I believe that is / was 20 GB) with a new HD. Can I use one of the new 5400 RPM type disks, or if I hold with 4200 RPM normal ones?

  If I do, should I first replace the old BIOS?

  Maybe you need to consider the noiselevel to a 5400 RPM hard drive?

  Update the BIOS? ... Never change a running system ;)

• Disk replacement hard satellite M20

  I had a problem with my satellite M20 Ref PSM20Q-00PZ6

  The original HD (Toshiba MK4025GAS) is totally dead.

  I bought a new one (toshiba MK6025GAS), the same 60G instead of 40.

  I had never recognized by the bios, unless I have set it up on another laptop to change its size to 8.4 G.

  How can I configure it to be recognized as a 60G?

  Hello

  It seems that the BIOS cannot recognize the disk properly due to the size of the HARD drive. Unfortunately, I put t found any details on the size of HDD supported, but in my opinion the 60 GB of HDD is not supported if the BIOS recognizes the HARD drive correctly.

• Replacing hard drive on Satellite M105-S1021

  Hello

  I'm looking to replace the hard drive of my laptop M105-S1021. Unfortunately, the disk hard original died on me packed and is about 6 months ago. I was quoted a couple grand to recover "perhaps" the content (no, I didn't have a backup and Yes, - lesson learned to always back up). I decided not to part with my money.

  This phone is a beast of a machine these days, relatively speaking (past 8 years). However, I don't want especially chuck and I really need for word processing and light Internet use. I do ' t present the boot floppies initial, but thought I would load Ubuntu or Mint as a BONE from a flashdrive (wahey for FREE software!).

  Been sniffing everything on eBay and discovered a true plethora of hard drives 2.5 "SATA. My question is this: do I need to stick with the original HD specifications? I post a picture of the HD but I do not see this feature available for this composer. It is a Hitachi 5v 1. 0a, 80 GB SATA, 5400 RPM HD.

  Of course, I can use another brand than Hitachi, but it needs to have the same input voltage (output? I don't know yet what this number means, but figure it has something to do with the power that there is a "DC" next to him)? Can I use a 7200 RPM to it rather than a 5400 disc? If I want to increase the capacity, can I use, say, a drive of 320 or 500 GB?

  And a question about SATA I vs II and III: I read that SATA II and III are retro-compatible and will slow down themselves if used in a SATA I machine. Is this true? In looking at all the different 2.5 "HDs on eBay and other sites, the connectors seem slightly different - the same, but some have little plastic shields and the extra bits coming out. Asked if SATA ALL connections will be adapted to all SATA computers or if they may have to be slightly modified (not the pins, but surrounding housings or housings).

  Anyway, thanks for any help and advice given.

  > My question is this: do I need to stick with the original HD specifications?
  Not really the important specification are: SATA and size 2.5
  The laptop supports a SATA controller and you use a SATA 2.5 HARD.
  GB size isn t really a key you could use a 100 GB, 250 GB and a 300 GB should not be a big problem.

  > And a question about SATA I vs II and III: I read that SATA II and III are retro-compatible and will slow down themselves if used in a SATA I machine. Is this true?

  Yes

• Re: Disk failure hard on my Satellite A305-S6905 1 year

  My hard drive is defective on my laptop [a Satellite A305-S6905] so it was a year old Feb 11' th not guaranteed, now I have to pay someone to put in a new HD, will pay for HD and pay to put a new OS in there because they do not come with operating system disks more, a good I had already bought a Windows 7 disc , but wait... I can't use it, it is an upgrade, so now what am I going to do?

  Hello

  I agree with the user above. Replacing the HARD drive is easy and can be done in a few minutes. On the underside, remove the cover of the HARD drive which is fixed by screws, and then you can exchange the HARD drive.

  Reinstalling Windows, to the disk recovery Toshiba or a disk of Microsoft. All drivers and tools can be downloaded from the Toshiba site.

Until a few days ago, it worked with my PC. He still now, have the same problem, but that sometimes he can't start several times and then she came back to do it again. I thought that it will more work and not a problem. I am very nervous and furious...! >:(
  2. Another problem is that my drive hard(location is C:\), it cannot load my system sometimes as the first problem earlier. Not only that, when it is started my PC, I checked all my hard drivesof driver name(I have 2 HARD drive, everything is very old)right click on C:\, click 'Properties' and then click 'Material' tag for the driver name lists. I don't see a single HARD drive driver name(it's in D:\), not on C:\ Name of the driver drive HARD, but in 'My Computer', it takes C:\ icon to click. I don't know why a few months ago, it has worked until now, one is missing and we're still on the list of driver name.

  Hope everyone give me help.

• Disk replacement hard m6 envy

  Looks like I need to replace the hard drive on Envy 6. Warranty expired 6 days ago! I can't leave with Best Buy for 2-4 weeks so I want to try replacement myself. Where can I buy the correct hard drive and can I do it myself? Then load a new operating system? What I have to do new Windows 8 (don't like it)? I have all my files stored on Carbonite. Thank you!

  Thank you very much.

  I had the honor of serving.

  Yes, you can install W7 on your laptop.

  If you have a full W7 64 bit program and product license key, you can do the following to install W7...

  First of all, you need to change a BIOS setting (and you'll need to do in order to boot from the recovery W8 disks too).

  See this link below...

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03736054

  Then for the W7 x 64 drivers you must:

  First, install the amd chipset driver and restart. The first file listed in the page.

  http://support.AMD.com/en-us/download/chipset?OS=Windows 7-64

  Then all the W7 x 64 drivers and software of this model will work also on yours.

• Replacing HARD drive questions

  My laptop is as follows:

  HP DV6-1355DX

  Windows 7

  OEM HARD drive is a WD 5000BEVT p/n: 499040-002

  Other posts in this forum, I'm certain that my laptop HARD drive has failed.  I found multiple suppliers for the exact same HDD, but I know that the technology has changed since this particular laptop was bought there are 3 1/2 years.  That being said, I really have no idea on HARD drive except for their purpose.  So my question is can I replace/upgrade HARD drive with a different manufacturer/model?  If Yes, what manufacturer and model do you recommend, and other that physically remove/replace, what would I do for install (software) to make this new feature of HARD drive properly in the laptop?  I have a system recovery disk.

  Thanks in advance to anyone and everyone who can offer sound advice and will take the time to help me.

  No, you don't have to worry about this. Version BPVT supports the Advanced Format Technology that should be more reliable than technology in the BEVT discs...

  Hello

  This question is not for the laptop manufacturer but for software producer.

  If you have two partitions copy this image to the second partition (D) and check if it is not visible. I do the same with the Norton Ghost image creator.

• Replacement HARD drive questions

  So to make a long story short the Thinkvantage Toolbox thing reported a bad hard drive for about a month now.

  I get no other indicators of failure of emminet as bad sectors but didn't want to push the thing as its under warranty so I am in touch with the contact centre yesterday and had a replacement delivered today drive, and I live in the Bush so kuddos it.

  However, I have this HARD drive with nothing but lables to ship the old man back to "avoid being charged for the new part.

  If at this point, I have two main concerns.

  I understand the work of monkey of replacing the drive on this computer, but am I to assume that the new disc has a preloaded OS or something or there at - it a procedure that I could follow, perhaps?

  I've done some general poking around on the net and you have not found anything so far so I'll try here.

  My second consideration relates to return a drive that I lived with for more than six months and shows no other problems except for a flag of Thinkvantage.

  I understand that there is a kind of extended warranty "servece" that allows the physical conservation of the old drive and I'm not trying to be a jerk on everything that I understand the recycling of old electronic devices and so forth and so but it seems silly just send my old data like this on a vague threat of a charge if I do not return the part.

  I am happy to return the thing, but if I am not satisfied that I was able to erase the disc it will come back with a few nails through it and etc.

  Is that going to undergo this 'charge', they mention?

  If the old drive was more like a bad drive I would not also be concerned about data cleaning, but I'm not tickled on the idea of sending the thing somewhere with more than half a year of various personal information on this subject in its current state.

  How they even think that they would be "charge" is another question altogether, but I find rather reasonable for my worries appealed, if one is available to force the issue unnecessarily.

  Thank you.

  Well, got some information by e-mail, Lenovo, this morning.

  Fitness beat email out here to the boonies in less than 24 hours Friday.

  UPS has been everywhere this one not?

  The confusing side kuddos for the speed again and I noticed that the replacement drive is more than 50 concerts more so than the old car so more warm and fuzzies of my dissertation.
