Don't change your hard drive empty guarantee?

I think that the answer may be obvious for this but I can't find anywhere so here we Mix.

OK, so I posted on here a few days on my failed hard drive and determined that I should be replaced, using the extended warranty that I had which allows a free repair on the spot.

However, two days ago I had to go back to the House of my parents for personal reasons and have not yet updated my address for lenovo. I also not received a call from a technician again. It would not be a big deal, but I start a job in a couple of days where I worked as a sales agent of my laptop and I need it to be functional, so it can run the software suitable for Monday.

As I've already got the replacement of the hard disk and USB recovery by lenovo post, would it void the warranty if I took it on myself (or a more computer savvy friends) to replace, rather than waiting for the technician to contact me? This isn't a question of impatience, simply a question of "I need my laptop to be 100% functional, so I can work it. Thank you!

It is primarily focused on the opinion, but I'm sure that the hard drives are believed (by customer replaceable units). Given that they you mailed the replacement drive, you should be able to install a new, and return of mail.

The box with the hard drive came with a return shipping label? If so, just call Lenovo support and check if you can just do the replacement yourself. Only downside is that you also have to redo the Windows installation if the drive is not image pre.

Once again, I recommend you call to confirm, but if you're uncomfortable, replacing, it will not void your warranty.

    I know how to do, but before I go and replace the HARD drive, I had a question about the warranty.

    I've still warranty on the laptop when I said change HARD drive myself? Or I lose it?

  • Satellite Pro L500-1W4 - cannot install Win 7 Pro after changing the HARD drive

    Hi all

    I need assistance with Windows.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Windows 7 preinstalled pro and the recovery DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Pro.
    I had to change the hard drive, so I try to reinstall Windows 7 from the recovery CD, but it does not work. He said that it is not possible to install this on this machine.

    So I tried with Windows XP CD recovery and no problem
    I'd rather have windows Windows 7 but I do not know how to retrieve
    Last information, the Windows XP CD recovery came with the laptop that Windows 7 was made by the store who sold me the computer.

    Thank you for your help
    Julie

    As far as I know there is not a kind of limitation and if there is no problem with the original recovery for Win7 disc, you should be able to install it on any HARD disk that you use with your machine.
    I upgraded HDD to the SSD on my installation of picture machine and the restore worked without any problems.

    To be honest, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but the Win7 installation disc is somehow suspect for me. I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but somehow, I feel you didn t get original drive Win7. Best evidence is the Windows XP Home edition recovery disk. The prinziple with Win7 is the same and it should works.

    When you use this disk you should have the menu as shown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

    This document explains how this works with the original installation disc of recovery.

  • Change the HARD drive in the laptop Satellite P10-304

    I bought a new hard drive for my laptop toshiba satellite sp10, can someone tell me were the hard drive is in the laptop, so I can change it as it does not tell you in the instructions booklet
    Thank you
    jm75uk

    Hello

    For some portable models change HARD drive is very simple and not complicated. Change the HARD drive in your case will be not so easy, and in my opinion, you should contact the service partner. I don't know how old is your laptop, and if the warranty is still valid, but as Tobi said if you open the Briefcase with laptop computer on your own, you can lose the warranty.

    I don't know, but the HARD drive should be placed somewhere under keyboard because on this model there is no coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner.

    Good bye

  • ? Primary Master Hard Disk S.M.A.R.T. Bad Status. WARNING: Return immediately-up your data and replace your hard drive.

    When I start my computer, an error page appears. At the bottom of the page it says, "Primary Master Hard Disk S.M.A.R.T. Status Bad." WARNING: Return immediately-up your data and replace your hard drive. Press F1 for Setup, F2 to continue"I was just pressing F2 and then it starts normally, but whenever I start my computer, the same page comes up.

    Is this serious or it could be something minor? Do you have any suggestions? What does that mean? What should I do? I followed some information in the forums of someone who has had the same problem and finally, they fixed them, they said that when they made a prior microsoft update what they where missing a Parcer.

    Note: I tried to save my data before, but something goes wrong and the backup will not be completed.

    You can download the program for diagnotics HUtil Samsung http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/support/downloads/Hutil210_iso_for_CDROM_drive.zip

    It's an ISO image then unzip the file and write the ISO image to a CD.

    Then restart the PC and booting with the CD. To do this, you must change the priority/boot order in the BIOS to boot from the CD first.

    Once you have started the program HUtil it will detect your hard drive Samsung. Select the hard disk.

    Enter the main Menu on the tool. Go into the menu of the tool and enter Auto diagnosis. Enable diagnostics to run, once done it will ask you if you want to perform a surface analysis - enter Yes. The analysis of surface will take some time to complete. If errors are found, it reported.

    Once more I recommend you backup your data as soon as possible, preferably before executing HUtil program.

    Write when the cache is enabled: when data are written back to the hard drive, it is written in the cache that is much faster to actually write to the hard drive. An acknowledgement of receipt is then sent by saying that the data has been written on the hard disk, when in fact it does not. In this way so that the data is actually being written to the hard drive to the rest of the system can continue to work. However memory cache is volatile, if the power goes off, the data in the cache is destroyed and if it has not been written to disk hard and yet he's lost.

    If your settings are correct. Usually the drives are configured for performance and the write cache is enabled. While flash drives and memory cards are configured for the fast-moving and write cache is disabled.

    It will not be a problem in this case, since you don't "move" installation, you are doing a new installation. The less it will take is activation of the phone, as you change the hard drive:
