Fast hard drive hardware issue

Hello, my HP dv6z-1100 just died and I bought a laptop replacement. However, I want to get the data on my hard drive in my new computer - I have done similar things with other disks hard (I have a SATA/USB cable), but I don't know how to remove my hard drive.

Could anyone refer me to the good book/charts? I found a manual, but it was not very useful. Also, is anyone could speak of experience about how hard remove a hard drive of this computer is really? I wonder if I could do something stupid and lose all my data.

Hello

It's a fairly simple process to remove the hard drive - the procedure is detailed on Page 57 of your & Maintenance Guide.

Kind regards

  • Replace a damaged by a larger, faster hard drive.

    I have a laptop CQ62-306AU Presario with a damaged hard drive that still worked somehow in safe mode. The vehicle currently has a HD SATA 320 5200 I want to replace it with a 750Go drive 7200.

    The repair manual says it will support a HDD of 750 GB 5200, but also the only HD 320 GB it supports is a 7200 while my current HD is a 5200. A little confusing.

    Does anyone have any idea if it will support my preferred 750Go 7200 disk?

    Hello

    I don't think that we also have 5200 TR / MIN, yes you can use 7200 RPM HARD drive, it is a little faster than 5400 RPM. More CACHE will be better but more expensive.

    Kind regards.

  • Larger and faster hard drive model T61 6458-CTO

    6i would like to know which is the hard drive bigger and faster that I can buy for a T61 (6458-CTO).

    It has a 80 GB hard drive, 5400 RPM and SATA interface (1.5 Gb/s).

    Can I buy a SATA II (3 Gb/s, 500 GB and 7200 RPM) for this computer?

    Thank you.

    Jon

    > Buy a SATA II (3 Gb/s and 500 GB 7200 RPM) for this computer?

    Yes, you can, however, due to limitations in the T61, there only a SATA I interface. This isn't really a problem because the drive itself is unable to transfer data at the maximum speed of the interface.

  • Portege S100 ATA HARD drive password issue

    Hey guys

    I just wanted to ask a quick question. I've owned a Toshiba portege S100 computer laptop for about 18 months and he's had a life constantly on hard lol and some stains of coffee etc. Unfortuantly it launched the bucket the other week, so I got out and got a new toshiba laptop :)

    My problem is that I can't access my hard drive? He had a password for HARD drive that I got and now I can't unlock it. I tried several tools to unlock the dam thing and wil it unlock NOOOO! Now, I'm an unhappy man, because all my work was there.

    I have a tool that has several options to unlock HARD disk utility? It requires a login and a tank to fill? I was wondering if someone can help me?

    TY in advance

    Zarren

    Hello

    Unfortunately, if the HARD drive password has been set and if you n t know the password you will not be able to unlock the HARD drive.

    To my knowledge, the HARD drive password can be deleted from the BIOS and any other disk HARD unlock utility will not work.

    In my opinion, there is nothing to my buddy :(

  • External hard drive mounting issues on MacOS Sierra

    After upgrading to OS Sierra, I found that my USB3 drives, directly connected to my iMac end of 2012, turn off at startup. USB 2 disks are unaffected and connect properly. The only way to access my USB3 disks is to disconnect and reconnect every time I start the computer, then they are ok. I tried to reset the NVRAM, but it did not work. I found Os El Capitan until this issue is resolved.

    Do not mount or actually turns out always the system start? It was not clear in your subject line and content later, what was going on.

    Are they NTFS formatted drives? See the solutions frequently asked and answered forum if they are.

  • Can I use a faster HARD drive on my Satellite P10?

    Hello

    Have a Satellite P10 can replace 4200 drive with 5400 speed without fear more of heating or other problems?

    Hello

    Today, I had a similar ad: D, so I can really answer you: Yes because there is no huge difference if you use a player of 4200, 5400 or 7200 RPM.

    The heat is not SO significantly that the machine could be damaged. Don t worry and just install the drive you want to in your machine.
    BTW. : Make sure that the drive is compatible with your machine regarinding the chipset and so on. Sometimes there are readers who don t work generally well with some machines toshiba like seagate or western digital, but not all and not every machine ;)

  • Satellite P300-135 system issues using two HARD drives

    About a month ago I bought a faster hard drive for my laptop (because it wasn't hard drive 5400 RPM by default), and computer technicians to the store where I bought my laptop has recommended a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 250410.

    The first couple of days everything went smooth, but after that, every second, restart my OS (Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit) reports of problems with my video card, sometimes 'Windows cannot initialize the device of this hardware driver. (Code 37) ", the other time"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. " (Code 43) ", and when this error occurs, the keyboard and the keyboard do not work too.
    I made a simple and primitive diagnosis by deleting the second hard drive and rebooted 5 or 6 times, and everything went very well.

    So I think the problem is that the laptop has not enough power for two hard disks. Is it true, or is my phone begins to fail?

    Sorry for my mistakes of language, but English is my second language.

    Hello

    Usually the second HDD should not affect the performance of the system, but it of impossible
    So maybe you should test the specifications and performance of OS using another HARD drive maybe a HARD disk that takes in charge of 5400 RPM

  • How to copy data from one hard drive to another after the upgrade?

    I have a HP e9220y, and I recently bought a new hard drive for it. There is nothing wrong with the former, but this one has a 64 MB cache and 7200 RPM so I hope it will be a little faster. I installed it and it works fine, but I want to copy all data from the old disk to the new so I can start everything off the faster hard drive and I seem to have a bit of doing wrong. I can't just copy and paste because of the Windows system files that are used. And last night when I set up Windows backup, and went to bed, when I thought it that Windows has recovered from a stop unexpected, rebooted, and only 2 GB of data saved obtained.

    What is the best way to move all the data from the old drive to the new drive, make it the default C: drive and move partitions system and factory_image as well? Thank you!

    Please read this link to another post made by Big_Dave and myself

    (1) If your old drive and the new drive is Seagate or Western Digital, then free House with their cloning software.

    (2) before starting the clone process, I found best to perform a disk cleanup and defragmentation.

    Cloning software to copy the two partitions. Example:

    Old drive 250 GB formatted to 232 C: created 220 and 12 GB D:

    New 1000GO drive formatted to 931 GB created 919 GB C: and D: to 12 GB

    The "Seagate disc Wizard" cloning software will let create you a clone automatic or manual partition resizing.

    The two modes to offer an overview of the actions before commit you. The manual on this page of Seagate (PDF) is 68 pages.

    After the cloning process he complete, all you have to do is swap on the disks. Besure to connect your new disc on the original motherboard SATA port.

    HI - it would be an update of the stock 5400 RPM, 500 GB HARD drive. The 7200 drive I bought is 1 TB.  Thanks in advance for any help!

    As long as it's a SATA HDD with a 2.5 form factor ", it will be compatible.  You experience a slight increase in performance with the faster HARD drive, but it will not appear in 50% faster than the 5400 RPM HARD drive.

    Hello

    RPM refers to the rotation of the head per minute.
    It's the speed of the HARD drive the faster the head rotates faster HARD drive can write and read data from the disk.

    Usually the 7200 RPM is a very good report, so if you are looking for a HARD drive then I recommend you buy the HARD drive supporting this speed but this value is not very important for the performance of the laptop everything is good to have, but not very necessary. You know
