  I already have Vista running. Last week I had to run the recovery disc that came with my laptop, now I am hearing cracking and screetching coming from the hard drive and it does not start. I intend to buy a new hard drive and replace it myself. How can I move the new Vista of the old hard drive?

  My computer did come with an installation disc, only a recovery disk.

• Answer a few question I need before buying a new hard drive.

  I am looking for a 320 GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0 Gb/s, but I need to know if the SL500 can handle this, or if its interface can manage only 1.5 Gb/s, etc..

  I have also heard some HARD drives are not compatible with Lenovo BIOS, is it true? And if so, where can I find a list or something like that to help me choice the right kind.

  Oh and a side note, I noticed that the thermal grease is marked as a FRU, when processors are marked as CRU... are we expected to burn are processors?  Can I bring my notebook in to get the compond to replaced every time? Each maybe 6 months? It should be charged?

  My sl300 has the seagate 5400,4 Go 160, which corresponds to the reader that lenovo equip and supports 3.0 GB/s.  I'm very happy with it.  It's quiet, and faster than I expected.

  sudo hdparm - tT/dev/sda

  / dev/sda:
  Timing cached reads: 3174 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1588,56 MB / s

• Portege 3500: Need a new HARD drive

  Hello

  I bought a Portege 3500 and after a few weeks of use, the hard disk or fan (safe) started to make loud noises and now every time I turn on the laptop screens toshiba rises and it happens eventually to a screen I wrote what he said below.

  I read somewhere that this means that my hard drive is over and I have to buy a new hard drive.
  Is this true and if so anyone know where I can get a drive hard because the laptop is old?

  The only one I've seen that is in stock is of about £230 and it's about the same price, I bought the laptop.
  Or is there a solution ive tried going on in all modes but it just restarts and Ive also tried to reinstall the OS using the cd but I can't in the menu option to reinstall XP.

  "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

  If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically closed down to protect your files and folders, select last good known Configuration to return to the most recent settings that worked.

  If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the Power or Reset button has been activated, or if you are not sure what caused the problem, choose Start Windows normally.

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt
  Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
  Start Windows normally

  Use top and down arrow keys to move the selection of your choice.

  Hello

  AFAIK Portege 3500 was equipped with the 40 GB IDE HDD.
  This is why you must use an IDE hard drives (not SATA).

  Now, it would be important to know what max HD size could be compatible;
  If the laptop supports 40 GB I think a 60 GB HARD drive might work too.

  I think that you should just google for some 40 GB, 60 GB hard drives, that supports the IDE!

  Best regards

• Satellite T130 - stuck on the loading screen - new hard drive required

  After a message on the screen saying back up your hard drive, it will fail quickly and pressing F1 it seems so stuck on the loading screen. I'm not too good with computers. I just have to buy a new hard drive to get the laptop working again, or is much more complicated than that. My guess is this one.

  Thanks in advance for any help provided

  The first question is: did you create recovery media (USB key)?
  If do not do this if for a long time your HARD drive works OK. original recovery image is saved on the HARD drive, but you must have it USB backup that you can use to install if the disk needs to be replaced.
  Do it as soon as possible. More info on what you can read in s operating manuals.

  What to do with the HARD drive? In my opinion if long as it works it has no reason to panic. Use your laptop as usual. If you notice some performance or more error messages problems I think that you should replace it.

  Replacing the HARD drive doesn't have to be so problematic. HARD drive cover must be placed in the lower corner of your laptop. The smallest is RAM and cotyledon should be for the HARD drive. Check it out.

  Before do you that this is remove the battery and unplug your computer laptop AC adapter / CC.

  If you have no experience with such things please don't made some risky step. You can damage something.

• How to put windows 7 64 bit on my new hard drive?

  Hello

  I have 2 years, this laptop Satellite L505-13j.
  My hard drive is damaged, slow, small. I buy the new hard drive, but I don't have the CD with windows backup and software for this type of laptop.
  Download windows 7 Home premium 64-bit and software for hardware on my laptop? Where?
  With the computer came only CD with windows 7 32 bit

  Original recovery image can not be downloaded.
  What you can do now is to install the clean version of the OS by using the original installation disc of Microsoft or to order the Toshiba recovery disc.

  Of course the second option is much better. To the original installation of disk aid will be very simply and you have activate OS version. Original Toshiba recovery disc can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

• How to install Windows without recovery disc - Satellite A660 with new HARD drive

  Hey,.

  Portable 500 GB HDD of my friend Toshiba Satellite A660 seems to have died.
  I tied him to my laptop on a sata dock and runs a data recovery program because nothing has been saved. The recovery takes forever, however, and she really needs his computer to work.

  Because the hard disk may be damaged in any case, I am considering buying a new hard drive and install in the Toshiba.

  How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?
  The old drive was a partition recovery on it, I think, but this seems useless with a new drive.
  Operating system is Windows 7 64 bit home edition.

  The product key is on the bottom of the laptop.
  I live in Turkey and so I don't think there is a Toshiba store is close.
  There are individual computer stores, so I'm confident, I can buy a new internal hard drive (I could find the sata dock here), but he must know what to do to install the software, etc.

  Thank you!
  Chris

  > How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?

  You either have the recovery disk or you are going to install the system using the Microsoft Windows disk.
  The necessary drivers are in internet on Toshiba UE page.

  The recovery disc can also be ordered here:

• Pavilion p6230y: how to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive

  Hello

  Recently, I had a hard drive failure. The drive is about 7 years so I understand he lived a life busy for a long time, and I plan replace it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make the recovery discs and I don't have a windows CD, because it is installed on the disk hard when I bought the computer. If I had to buy a new HARD drive, how would I reinstall Windows on it without re-purchase a copy? I was told there would be a product key on the chasis somewhere but I couldn't find the model and serial number for the bureau, nothing to do with Windows. I also searched HP website to see if I could order recovery disks, but this option is not visible anywhere. Help, please!

  Thank you, Alex.

  Alex, welcome to the forum.

  Unfortunately, because you did not the system recovery media when you bought the computer, you will need to buy a full copy of Windows 7.

  Here's a guide to help you try to order the HP discs.  However, I believe that it is very unlikely that they are always available from your computer is more than 7 years old.

• New hard drive. Do I need windows disk?

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop and recently the hard drive has failed...

  It was running windows 7 home basic 64-bit and did not come with recovery disks.

  im going to buy a new hard drive to replace soon and I was wondering what discs do I have to get my system running again?

  A member of the family has the same exact computer and I made a recovery disk of the Panel out of it. can I use this disc to install windows or anything? I don't really want to buy hp disc because I don't want any additional programs but if I wrong choose on a windows disk $7,100.

  Yes, you need a Windows install disc. However, there may be a way to restore from the image of the system of the other computer you have, that you say is the same. I'll get back to you on how to do it later.

  You can also use the restore disc, you created from this computer.  If it is exactly the same.  I'm not sure of the legality of it, but...
