  Hello

  The HARD drive should be placed on the left side of the laptop.
  I think that it of one near the port of slot and PCMCIA modem.
  At the bottom of the unit, you should find a screw holding the cover of the HARD drive.
  Remove the two black screws and lift the cover of the HARD drive location.
  Remove the two black screws, secure the HARD drive into the HARD drive slot.
  Grasp the HARD-drive carrier handle and pull forward to disconnect and remove the
  HARD DRIVE.
  Remove the four screws flat head of the HARD-drive bracket and lift the HARD drive.

  That s all ;)

• PERC 5 - no Configuration is present! Foreign import can damage the hard disk data ("this is an irreversible process)?

  Our 2950 has humming well when...

  Physical disk 0 change LED color from green to flashing orange.

  Configuring Raid 0 has 2 two identical disks combined into a VD.

  To troubleshoot an amber blink, we re sitting readers and even swapped their location, ultimately restore their substantive positions of basket in their original locations.

  Suddenly, amber LED changed to green new!

  However, the server is unbootable-"zero or logical drives found".

  Reports PERC 'no present Configuration!' in the config of VD but also two reports 2 error free readers in the config of PD.  He also pointed out a 1 DG and VD (1) and (2) PD in config stranger (contrary to what config VD reports - "no present Configuration."

  Ubuntu in rescue (booted from the CD) mode does not see two physical disks.

  What should we do?

  Thanks in advance - this server hosts the web services of a not-for-profit organization.

  Excuse the rawness, but you need to know about the functioning of the RAID and this server before trying anything. There are many places in which he could definitely bad (I'm not saying that isn't already).

  Start the utility CTRL-R, VD MGMT screen, highlight the controller, F2, foreign Import.

  If she fails to import, go to the CTRL MGMT screen and give me the version of the firmware of the lot.

  Next time, call Dell technical support or ask a question here to help them know what to do and how to solve it.

• Why the hard disk is divided into partitions of two data (C:Vista and E: Data)?

  I just started a new A200-1V0 and found that disk space is divided into two partitions of sizes equal 'C:Vista' and ' E: Data "(and a small one EISA).

  WHY? What is the logic and purpose? It's not even as if the C:Vista partition is smaller and intended only to the tricks of the 'system' as the root 'Users' (user Documents) is on it also.

  This is the default for Vista (my first use of it), if not, who said that Toshiba could do this without asking me?

  How can I move the root 'Users' in Vista (in the data partition) - if I have two partitions that I might as well use it?

  I can resize partitions in Vista without a utility 3 rd-party (or a complete backup/restore)?

  Thank you

  Hello just YOU

  Please don't be offended because there is no reason for this. You bought the new product with the factory settings. Toshiba and other hardware manufacturer do not know every customer personally and, unfortunately, it was not possible to ask YOU how to set up YOUR laptop.

  Because of this, there is a recovery of product support that allows to configure the HARD disk according to your wishes and needs.

  Please use this DVD and install OS how you want it to be. What recovery procedure starts, you will see CONFIGURATION option on the right side. Click on it and choose the right option.

  Reinstall the OS and enjoy your life. Really, I don't have the time to write on the floors of two partitions, because this is basic stuff and you probably don't want to waste your time to read this.

  Bye and good luck!

• bad sectors on the hard disk, can't find programs or files

  Has worked on my Toshiba laptop and all of a sudden I got these error messages from Windows on bad sectors, cannot find the files...

  Well, I am unable to find programs or files... well explore works and it seem like windows must work because the computer starts.  I have

  did a scan of spybots and of course we found a few things but that's all.

  I had to start a new user account in order to have access to my hard drive and be able to do some repairs... He showed sound quite complete but unable to show all files or these.

  Tried a restore back a week, but it did not work.  A check on the hard disk and say he can do so that the system is in use.  I have nothing running!

  Don't know what to do next... any suggestions

  How can I "RECORD each piece of data (and I mean everything!)" contained in the hard disk of the laptop? »

  I know PC never fade completely everything, so if there is a way to get personally, I'd really like the head upward on the how to do?  I would be better for me to download all this information on a PHDD, rather than handing the portable real in question so that its content of forensics experts, because current 'Communications Network serious security' we have been subjected to.

  Here you go:

  1. Use an imaging program to create a clone of your hard drive.

  3. Put the clone in the PC.

  It is the only way to really keep all while still able to use the PC.

• photos should be on the hard disk and not a network before catalog reader can find them.

  My photos are on a network drive. I created a catalog on the hard drive of my computer of these photos. When I later open the catalog, Lightroom indicates that the file is not found. Photos should be on the hard disk and not a network before catalog reader can find them?

  "Can't find" indicates Lightroom does not know the location of the photo because it has been moved, deleted or renamed outside of Lightroom.

• Dell Vostro 430 sometimes breaks down and does not find the hard drive in the bios

  So I have this old - ish Dell Vostro 430, intel cpu, windows 7 hard disk sata 250 GB, 4 GB of ram.

  Update BIOS to the latest version 2.4.0

  In certain exceptional circumstances, this PC sometimes crashes in windows, it is restarted, and then when he comes back it does not find the hard drive as a gift. He is not seen in the bios and does not start.

  To fix, I have to unplug the power cable, wait a few seconds, plug in, reboot the computer and it starts normally, load windows and everything.

  So far, I have tried to paginate on another hard disk, reinstall the Windows operating system from scratch, and same thing happens from time to time.

  It is difficult to find the cause of the problem, because this happens very rarely.

  Sometimes, when the pc is turned on for the first time in the morning, the hard drive is not found by the bios and we reappear at the same trick (disconnect the power cable) to take him back.

  When it crashes when using inside Windows, it seems that the reason is the computer can't find the hard drive.

  Such computer is out of warranty.

  It would be nice to just throw this computer because it is still fine for the work it has to do, + I have Windows and Office OEM license on it, as well as many other software that I have to reinstall etc.etc.

  No idea what I could troubleshoot?

  Maybe change the motherboard? How can I buy a new motherboard for an out of warranty Dell?

  While possibly keeping all the OEM licenses (Windows 7 and Office 2007).

  Desu

  .. .once in a while...

  That will make hard to resolve this situation.

  • Have you tried to replace the battery in the motherboard, if nothing else than to exclude it? CR2032, 3-volt lithium-ion, ~ $2 at discount stores. Do not forget to open the BIOS Setup and copy down all current settings first because remove battery BIOS resets the default values, which is maybe not correct for your specific system.
  • Have you tried another SATA data cable, or reinstall the existing at both ends?
  • Have you reinstall RAM and PCI card in their slots?
  • Have you used canned air to blow out the dust?
  • Maybe a power supply problem... ? If insufficient voltage, he could not start the HARD drive quite fast at startup, or quick enough after your option settings to be able to turn the HARD drive off when it is not accessed, what may cause this error message 'not found '.
  • If you use a power strip or surge protector, have you deleted and the PC connected directly to a wall jack?

  If it is a motherboard defective and you replace it with another jury of Vostro 430, you shouldn't have any problems with Windows or Office licenses. Assuming you are using Windows Dell reinstall for exact same version of Windows drive that was installed at the factory, it should not even ask the product key, if you must reinstall Windows on the HARD drive. But even if she asks, there should be a sticker somewhere on the PC with your unique product key so you can enter if the installer made the request.

  and make sure you have the Office product key too...

• Equium P200D - Question about running out of space on the HARD disk

  First of all, let me say that I am a Silver Surfer and don't know much about how works laptop or where it stores information!
  I don't am not in the least HI - TEC so please be gentle with me.

  I use an older Equium P200d for 1 year with two 40 GB hard drives each.
  My C drive has only 2 GB of memory left available while my E drive still has 30 GB.

  I have only 3.7 GB of programs loaded (according to the research of control panel) and I know that I have 4 GB of music.

  My query is - where is the other 30 GB missing?

  I made the Scandisc option and deleted all the stuff from there and a defragmentation procedure.

  Y at - it searches I can run to find junk I have more need?

  Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.

  Hey Buddy

  If you are using Vista, then you should consider that Vista creates an additional partition on the HARD drive.
  It s hidden and it contains backup files in order to repair the operating system if something goes wrong.

  In addition HARD drive must also contain HARD drive recovery files (image).
  These files are required to recover the laptop HARD drive.

  So the hidden partition and the recovery of HARD drive that could be the main reason why you noticed smaller amount of space available on the HARD disk

• Move the existing 5.5 ESXi installation of the HARD disk on USB.

  I need help on what would be the best approach to move my existing ESXi 5.5 install the HARD disk to the new USB.

  Then you tell your environment uses the local disk to your VM data store (s)? In addition, you want to move your partition ESXi to USB and recover the local disk space? I think if it was me, the the more safe thing to do would be to shut down the system, pull on the local drive on just enough to disable / he dethrone, insert the USB key and run ESXi installation. Then (after checking the boot order) reinstall the local disk and boot the system. Once the USB key version boots, make your configurations (DNS, NTP, license etc.) and add the data store (s) existing local drive. You can then add existing virtual machines via "navigation" of the data store (s).

• Why the HARD disk is partitioned into C & D on Satellite Pro C partition

  Why the HARD drive is divided and how to use it?

  It is important that the one that I use?
  It turns into one big disk?

  The manual says nothing about this.

  Thanks for any help

  Ken

  Hello

  The HARD disk is partitioned and contains two partitions. The C partition is the system partition that contains the Windows operating system. The second D partition contains data drive HARD recovery.
  HARD drive recovery allows you to establish the notebook back to factory settings without the recovery disk usage.

  But it s is strongly recommended to create the recovery disk! The user manual provides the info on that in case something goes wrong with the HARD drive, the recovery disk allows you to recover the laptop.

  Of course, you can delete the D partition if you want to, but before doing so, you must create the recovery disk.

  However, my HARD drive contains 3 partitions. I created an extra. In my case, the C partition contains only system and the unique software. My files private like Mp3, movies, etc. are placed on the D second partition).
  The third partition (E) contains a folder with games.

• Satellite P300 - 190 PSPC2C - water spill and the HARD disk does not appear on the Setup

  Hello

  Spilled water on the keyboard. Laptop has stopped working.
  Dried, but did not recognize the HDD start up and HDD does not Set - up.
  Moved the HARD drive to another location of the HARD drive on the laptop and it appears at startup and boot OK.
  Is there an easy way to find and repair the defective HARD drive slot?

  Thanks for any help.

  PK

  Hello

  The HARD drive slot is not repairable. It s a HARD disk controller and I guess the HARD disk controller is dead.
  The HARD disk controller is part of the motherboard and if you want to repair it, so the entire motherboard must be replaced.

  New motherboard would cost a small fortune he of not good about market 350Euros
  That's why I put t think it is s to replace the mobo only to get the HARD drive in the first location of work

  This is my personal opinion...

• Satellite A100 - cannot find the recovery disk to restore to factory settings

  Hello
  I hope someone can help out me?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100, model PSAANA-04E005 under Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 32-bit. I am wanting to sell, but have all my programs stuff etc I want to erase files and be able to convey simple with system also when I bought. Memory (purchased January 2007) gave me a Toshiba Recovery with this power drive do something if I needed it's of course is not the case to be foundI.

  Is there anyway I can fix this? All I can download etc to do this?

  Thanks heaps

  Hello

  If you n t find the recovery disk more and you want to restore the original settings, ask an authorized service provider. Guys can put in order a new disc of recovery for you.
  You have the address of the guy?

  Alternative, you can also sell the laptop without recovery disks. Just wipe the HARD drive before selling it with the HARD drive like s boot cleaning tool Darik and nuke or some other program.

  But I think you get a better price if it comes with recovery disks ;)

• Tecra S3 - impossible to duplicate the HARD disk of larger HARD drive

  I have a new Toshiba Tecra S3, I bought one a few years ago with a 100gig hdd.
  I'm running out of room and wanted to move to a larger capacity drive.

  I bought a WD 400 GB sata 5400 RPM and the Appricon Easygig 2 cloning software and the USB universal drive adapter.
  My first attempt I used the default settings and cloning went without problem, but the player does not start. I get the blue screen with an error message.

  I tried cloning with accurate corresponding partitions, same result.
  I tried to use the digital software West, the same results.
  I tried the Acronis software with all the different options, the same results.

  Given that my laptop came with the hidden recovery partition I don't have the original Windows XP pro disk, so I borrow one from a friend and tried to use the recovery of windows on the new drive I just cloned and could not find the hard drive at all.

  I suspect it has something to do with the RAID drivers, but I don't what to do at this point if it is.
  I don't want to start from scratch, I want just all what I have on my 100 GB to my 400GB clone.

  Interestingly, I have used the Appricon method on other SATA improvements on other laptops completely successful, but this Toshiba has me out of resources.

  Does anyone out there have a solution to my problem?

  Hello!

  Garret is right to integrate the RAID driver software Acronis.

  Therefore, you should use BartPE (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/).
  Install Bart PE and then copy the drivers RAID PE builder folder PE Builder\drivers\SCSIAdapter
  Create a folder for the drivers, and copy the drivers inside.
  In addition, you need the plug-in for Acronis True Image but I do not know Mr. you should find it on the site Web of PE Builder.

  Then, you can burn a bootable Windows CD. On this CD is also Acronis software and then you can clone it.

  Good bye
