Exchange of hard disks

• Mini Mac - exchange of hard disks

  I have two mini Mac - the two 2012.

  Mac mini #1 is i7 2.6 GHz Quad Core - my first desktop computer

  Mac mini #2 is i3 2.3 GHz Dual Core - used as HTPC / Media Server

  #1 has (2) 1 TB disks, which I use a lot less than half (I also have external drives)

  #2 a (1) 512 MB internal drive, which is almost complete

  I plan to (1) move the 1 TB drives from #1 to #2 and move all data (mainly from the iTunes music ALAC and some iMovie video), that would solve the question of space. While they are open I consider also adding an SSD as the diskette of starting to #1, this would improve the startup time, run certain programs a little faster and a 256 MB or 512 MB disk would be inexpensive, that I would win a little more than space for data too. (to be honest, the Mac mini is jealous of the SSD in my MacBook)

  I've increased the RAM to #2, replace a switch of volume on a 3 g iPhone and replaced a screen on an iPad 2, so I'm not afraid of detail work - but only the RAM was easy. I also watched the videos on the replacement of a HD for this model on iFixIt. What is not clear is how much more difficult it is to make the first record as the second. If I move just a reader I wouldn't have to dig in the 1st Bay.

  So, my questions:

  (1) how can I say on the report system which drive is in the Bay, by whom I have which is on top, which is at the bottom? Or can I assume that the startup disk is always on top? (harder to do)

  (2) is the player in the upper Bay of much more difficult to replace?

  (3) I would also examine suggestions for a reliable SSD, but this isn't the substance of my question.

  Thanks for your help...

  Here's a video OWC on how to add a second drive to a Mac mini (same steps for 2011) 2012. I bought their data Doubler kit (and the extra ribbon cable) so that I would have the tools to get the job done right. Seen their detailed video while performing the surgery. I bought a 128 GB OCZ Vertex SSD (now a division of Toshiba and new product name VT180 series) for main and kept startup disk the Apple 512 GB of disk in place. The OCZ Vertex is fast and reliable for fall 2011.

• Exchange the HARD disk of 1 TB for one SSD 120 GB problem...

  Hello

  I just bought a HP pavilion special edition with audio of beets running windows 8.1.

  What I wanted was a windows 8.1 with touchscreen and SSD, but could not find a laptop with all these attributes at an affordable price so decided to buy this one and upgrade to an SSD HARD drive, 120 GB is more than enough storage for me so I bought a Kingston Hyper X 120 GB SSD I did a recovery USB media and installed the new drive, unfortunately, support for hp recovery would not format the SSD drive and then I accidentally formatted the USB and I am not able to make another.

  Any suggestions?

  You could re - install your 1 TB drive in your laptop and a Clone of your SSD drive. Then once the clone is complete simply swap the drives.

  Or you could buy a HP recovery support and recover from your newly installed SSD.

• Re: Satellite Pro A40 - can I change the HARD disk or the same model?

  Hi Forum,

  do I have to wait for safe trouble by changing the hard disk between the following laptops:

  old or damaged laptop:
  SPA40 model PSA45E - 0013T - number GR
  Series No. 34127882 H

  new/own laptop
  SPA40 PSA45E-001VM-GR model number
  Series N0.34117607H

  Thanks in advance for your advice

  Concerning

  You can do it. No problem at all. Hard drives are not specific model of laptop parts and with hard drives is important compatibility.
  On the new laptop, which you can use different hard drives. Important is that use you compatible HARD drive.

  Just do it. After Exchange of HARD drive install Os again and everything will be OK.

• Satellite L650 - Windows detected a hard disk problem

  I have 9 as 4 months old satellite L650 that this microsoft Windows message keeps popping up. "Windows detected a hard disk problem, back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... etc" have I not a bum hard drive or is it a mistake?
  I have
  have the media discs to recover and this means that I have to reformat the HARD drive and try again. !

  Hi watthhel,

  I think the error message must be correct to Windows 7 and you must do what tells you the message: immediately back up your data and replace the HARD drive with a new one. In your case I would never save important files on the HARD drive. Too risky to lose important files

  Your laptop is 4 months old and that would mean it s covered by the warranty. Contact your local authorized service provider and ask for a replacement drive. They will exchange it and the service is free. :)

• How to change the application installed HARD disk?

  My PC following setting:

  C: is for Window XP OS

  D: is installed application

  because the disc is not enough space and need to buy a new SATA III HARD disk after formatting under drive Z:

  I copy everything in D: z: readers and I would exchange the disks for the following parameter:

  D: old drive will become Z: drive for backup

  Z: old disk will become D: drive for installed application, because many applications and installed adjustment use the D: drive for application, so I'd like to preserve the D: drive for application, but I get no idea on how to swap the disks.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

• Move from Vista to Windows 7 AND transfer on a different hard disk operating system

  I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit and in the same movement of time the OS Vista Home Premium 32-bit & a Seagate 80 GB HARD drive to two 250 GB hard drives in a RAID configuration. I intend to replace the 80 GB HARD disk with a faster drive Windows XP, so I find myself with a dual-boot system.  Apart from the exchange of small hard drives, the system will be unchanged compared to when I activated Vista.  Since it seems I have to reinstall all the programs on W7 in any case (damn and the breath), I wonder if it will be necessary (for reasons of product activation) or useful (for operational reasons) to first clone Vista to the larger players. I am aware that Seagate provides cloning software, also free that 250 GB seems a little bit today - but he will do well while this PC is still working. In case it is relevant, the Vista is OEM (I built the PC and I bought Vista with the motherboard), but I will get the retail version of Windows 7.  Most experts with thanks...

  Hello
   
  We cannot move the operating system from one hard disk to another. However, we can install the operating system on another hard drive or take the whole operating system if necessary system image backup.
  NOTE: You'll have to do a custom Setup to upgrade to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
  Windows Backup gives you the opportunity to create a system image, which is an exact image of a disk. A system image includes Windows and your control panel, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working. When you restore your computer from a system image, it's a complete restoration; You cannot choose to restore individual items and all of your current programs, Control Panel, and the files are overwritten.

  For more information about backup types, see this link:

  I hope this helps.

• Is it Possible to share a HARD disk drive (with a KNOWN password) protected between ThinkPads?

  Greetings,

  I spilled a drink sweet in my X 200, fence it beyond all repair.  The X 200 hard drive has ONLY one disk HARD password bios I created and you know.  To try to recover my files from hard drive of the X 200, I removed the disk and inserted into my T60.  When I turned on the T60, I got the usual HARD disk password prompt.  However, when I entered the password (all tiny, no special characters or non-English speaking, and which I know is quite OK), I had the symbol of the incorrect password.  I turned off the machine and repeat this process.  After the second attempt, I saw the password prompt with a closed hand.

  Later, I followed a procedure recommended by Lenovo to clear the password (do not think that I am allowed to post a link): enter the password followed by a space.  That did not work.

  I wonder if HARD drive pasword protected drive of the X 200 is somehow related to this particular machine and can not, as I had always supposed, be exchanged in another machine and accessible by entering the correct password.

  I also wonder if I can have permanantly me locked out the reader by making too many attempts "invalid."

  (Edited to add additional information and to make the more descriptive subject that it was originally).

  LongtimeTPOwner, welcome to the forum,

  Sorry to hear about your situation remove the password must be possible in another X 200 or even another ThinkPad at the same time system for example, T400, T500,... etc.

  A consideration that you would like to take a look is the password parameter in the menu BIOS password; If it is set differently on the T60 of how this has been put on the X 200 it could present problems according to the password used, especially if it's "special characters".

  Edit; typo

• Move the physical hard disks to new server

  First of all, before I have offend anyone wrong, yes there is a back-up. The "Extend reasons" why would I be willing to do this style of rough house upgrade are given below

  
  Simple explanation of the problem

  I have moved the physical hard disks (6 discs in the 0 + 1 array) in a HP Proliant ML350 G6 low for HP DL360 G5.

  The hard start and loading VMware 4.0 disks but no network connection. It shows the assigned static IP but no connection to the network.

  Also tested network cables. ;-) Firmware update on both boxes

  I have improved the VMware ESXi 4.0 to HP VMware hypervisor 5.1(1??) Edition, still no IP connection.

  Any Suggestions to get this NETWORK card IP address running?

  The drive in the array goes back to the system original and boots with work IP (and upgrading VMware 5.1 too)

  Extent of the reasons

  It is a small business with a single physical server, we borrowed a temporary server (used) from our supplier

  The current table (6 x 136 GB drives 0 + 1 array) has 408 GB of usable space. The person who made the initial VMware/OS load charge did not increase the block size for the Server Windows Small Business 2008 has a maximum of 320 GB volume

  Which is now max out.

  The goal is to have the production server upgraded to (8 x 450 GB drives 0 + 1 array) to 1.8 TB of usable space. Ideally the SBS 2008 will be migrated from the temporary server on the production server with sizes of block appropriate for larger volumes. The intensity of the current SBS has VMware unrelated corruption that would also give reason why we do not want the original charge on the new drives in the production box.

  It is also an Exchange Server which is critical for the company, I can't bring down the server for more information, then 1 hour without impact 7 x 24.

  The Back-up exists but isn't something suitable like a Veeam but is Microsoft Backup to disk iSCSI

  Hi, what I would say to access this server esxi through DCUI and access network configuration. If you can't see the network cards then you can also assign IP address from there for the management and you can also select NIC, you want only for management purposes.

  Thank you

• How to find out really currently used physical memory and swap space of hard disk to the virtual computer running?

  Suppose that I'm leaving WinXP hostOS a guestOS. Then a part of this guestOS remain in physical memory and another part is deployed on hard drive in the swap file resp swap partition.

  First question: the complete *.vmdk loaded into memory/swap space or only the part that is currently required?

  Perhaps only a *.vmdk 800 MB / 3GB is really responsible. But these 800 MB could be extended to 2 GB, because the content of these 800 MB is not compressed during load or guestOS drivers allocate additional memory.

  *. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

  How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

  The vmdk is not loaded into memory, because it is the drive of the virtual machine.

  *. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

  Yes, of course not. The memory used by the client is not related to the size of hard but the RAM assigned in the options of hardware reviews.

  How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

  Open the Task Manager and find a task vmware - vmx.exe or vmware-vmx - debug.exe.

  The swap file should be used if you have chosen to allow that VMware Workstation is authorized to Exchange. The file where swaps to door expansion .vmem Workstation. Search folder of comments.

• Drive light external HARD disk Warrior exploded

  I use DiskWarrior do a reconstruction of the hard drive to save the files, if possible. Hard drive does not appear on the desktop, which had been seen as a USB device on system information. During the reconstruction, the Seagate external HARD disk light exploded and is no longer visible to the Profiler system as a USB device. Should I cancel the reconstruction? Should I try disk referee to 'stabilize' the disc and run Disk Warrior?

  Can you describe the real problem which caused you to run DiskWarrior "to save the files?  Who can provide a clue about your current situation.

  If DiskWarrior' forever,' you have to cancel rebuild it later.  How long it has beed running?  It may take time, if repairs are done by DiskWarrior.

  DiskWarrior works repairing data directory player (which defines where the files are stored).  There are other types of utilities who hunt the disc for actual data.  For example
