Flag of unusual Hard Drive connection - need help to identify

My Pavilion dv9700 just died and I want to recover my data using a hard drive enclosure, but I need to know what kind of case to buy. If it's apparently a hard drive SATA connectors look unusual. There are vertical slits instead of horizontal contacts, I've often seen. What type of connection is?

Best Buy replaced my hard drive at some point if this isn't probably the standard hdd to the laptop. It's a Samsung spinpoint sata model: HM250JI

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here is my hard drive

It's a computer standard notebook SATA hard drive. The thing with all the weird connection points is a small black plastic module that slides on the standard SATA connections, so that the reader can interface with the connection on the motherboard HP. Just grab her and remove it. You have the caddy properly deleted according to the pictures.

  • Transfer of files from the old HARD DRIVE to new computer without an old computer. (He's dead - can not use) I have the hard drive, but need help to transfer my old files and settings.

    ·        My old Win XP computer died - it is completely unusable. I bought a new PC with Win 7 Pro and 1 TB. I still have the old HARD DRIVE (250 GB) which I have attached on the new computer using an external enclosure supports SATA drives. The external hard drive is connected to the computer in USB 3.0. I checked that the new computer can see the external hard drive. (I also used for backups by changing the hard drive with a 2 TB drive 'mass storage' - that works.)

    I searched the internet for possible solutions and found no help. If the transfer of files from Microsoft would change the disc to analyze, it would be simple. But if I select the OLD computer it scans the disk I'm on (new) - automatically.

    Is there anyone who has had the same problem? He must be because computers die all the time and people buy new computers - who then, somehow, they get the former transferred files. I could do it manually, but that wouldn't change the settings. Last resort would be to buy an old computer XP (SATA), replace the drive. Transfer the files, and then sell this computer.

    You may be able to recover your data files, but I hope that you will set up your new system to automatically backup a second internal hard drive or an external USB hard drive.

    This suggestion may not work, but it's worth a try. Buy an external USB drive enclosure. They come in two sizes 2.5 "for the portable computer drives and 3.5" for desktop disks. You can purchase adapters for 3.5 "envelopes so that they can also be used with a portable player. Place the hard drive in the enclosure and connect to a USB port of another computer. Several hard disks are more able to start, but the contents of the disc can still be accessed, read and copied from the disk because you do not use the operating system on a failed disk.

    Here is an example of the type of device, I suggest:

    You need only to the speaker, that you see are not necessarily more expensive. Thereafter, you can put an old hard drive usable, an abandoned because you need a larger drive internal, in the enclosure and use it as additional external storage.

  • Formatted hard drive. Need help.

    Hello

    I had to format my hard drive and now need to reinstall Photoshop CC, CC with Lightroom and Bridge. I have a backup of all my photos and the catalog in Lightroom. I've was Windows 10 running on my pc, but had only the drive for windows 7, so use that for now.

    My "C" drive is an SSD.

    I am a photographer, initially with little computer expertise. I have a friend who takes care of all the technical stuff for me, but it is not available, so I'd appreciate any help in resettlement. I have spent a lot of time frustrated over these past two days re - install programs on my pc and I'd like to avoid problems with the PS and LR. I have lots of pictures on my cards memory (and will be much more after tomorrow) that I must really be the treatment.

    I'm not completely computer illiterate, but have no detailed knowledge, so please keep it simple!

    Many thanks in advance,

  • has had to replace the internal hard drive! need help!

    Hi, laptop HP HDX - 1056CA

    My internal hard drive is totally dead after 2 years (warranty expired), and I had to replace it. I dropped in the new hard drive. But I don't know what are my next steps

    Do I really need to refer to the recovery discs - and they will work on a new hard drive? -I don't mind send away if that's what is needed, but I can't recover my old data, I hope that I can just download the drivers and leave with the machine... (also I go to work on Monday for 2 weeks at an oil rig, records will not be here in time and I won't be able to stay in touch with my friends and my family like the network is very limited as to what we can access if the computers in the Organization).

    can I use my desk top of the page to download and burn the recovery discs? can someone link me to the right place (HP HDX16 - 1056CA).

    My other question is that I have upgraded to windows 7 from Vista, when I ask to do recovery disks I have ask for the vista version and upgrade again (will be microsoft / the computer accepts the only time only upgrading key again?)  or should I go for the version of windows 7?  I need to re install the windows original vista and then switch again to win7, being that the computer has been configured for vista before the upgrade.

    Thank you very much for any help or insight people can give me! I really appreciate it!

    Hi all

    I had a BBQ and three guests oil and gas software and refused to feed them until thelaptop has been fixed.

    They threw the XP disc across the room and were able to start the player directly at the exit of the disk upgrade of windows 7 using the Custom Installation option.

    I'm afraid I can't give you more information, others that there is no need to first load the XP or the use of the USB box with the zip file in in order to recognize that the new installation drive.

    Thanks everyone for all the help offered here here.

  • Password protect an external hard drive connected to Time Capsule

    I have a WD passport external hard drive connected to my time capsule, so my wife and I can easily share files. I have the external hard drive connected through the locked time capsules WiFi network so someone in the House can not access however if they walked the time capsule and not plugged in the external hard drive they could walk away with it. When I try to password protect external hard drive then time capsule may not recognise, and so I can't use it as an external hard drive that is shared. No one knows how, to password protect the external hard drive connected to the time capsule as if someone physically stole the external hard drive it would be locked, but have yet still recognizable by Time Capsule when I plugged?

    Hope that makes sense.

    The only way to do is to encrypt the files on the computer.

    And you both use the same password. Unfortunately, this probably means that you can not share files directly... The TC is not a SIN... never, it was designed for this purpose so there no controls to help admin file sharing.

    If you create a DMG file on WD drive that encrypt you and you can copy files to and from... but only one at a time.

    Another method would be to use a specific software... Watch chronosync.

    http://www.econtechnologies.com/Chronosync/guide-sync-with-disk-image.html

    I don't him have not run in this configuration... so, you have to experiment if it manages what you want.

    I think that there will always be limitations on concurrent access from multiple computers.

  • Windows 7 computer portable HARD drive connected to a professional XP S3

    Windows 7 computer portable HARD drive connected via USB to a desktop XP Professional SP3 PC.

    PC shows the folders, I have access to the folder of Photos, but cannot access the Documents folder where files I need. I tried to share the folder, but it does not work.

    Any suggestions please?

    Probably, this can be corrected by taking possession of these files / directories.  Once you do this, however, you will find probably your permissions in disarray try to re - install the drive in your computer to Windows 7...

  • HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

    Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

    You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

    Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

  • Hello. I created a folder music on my external hard drive connected to my asus router.  I can now access the music through my media library.  How can I change the folder when I make new purchases to iTunes easily without doing it one by one

    I created a folder music on an external hard drive connected to my asus router.  I copied my music from my iTunes library in this folder access and can now my kodi media network.  How I updated the folder when I do new iTunes purchase without having to do it one by one thanks

    You can use a backup tool that updates only modified files.  You don't say what kind of computer you use.

    ITunes is actively using media on the external hard drive so you can replace it. Simply copy the media to one other player does not have iTunes it use it.  iTunes is probably still using media to your internal drive.

  • Re: Satellite A200 - what HARD drive I need?

    Can anyone tell me please what type of HARD drive, I need a Toshiba Satellite A200?

    Is it an IDE or a SATA or something like that?

    The A200 Satellite is equipped with a SATA HDD.

    If you want a new HARD disk, you should a 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface. In addition, you can buy a HARD drive with SATA2 interface because it s downgrade compatible to SATA1.

  • Hi I reinstalled my Win XP Home because the current drive was getting old. But I installed it on a new hard drive connected as "Slave" but now he can't start

    I have connected the new hardrive as a 'slave', re-installed my Win XP even & re-patched everything on it including SP3, programs & ups back-ups, but oh no! the new hard drive when it is plugged in as a 'master', it does not start!

    But with the old hard drive connected as long as 'master', I have the option of "dual boot".

    I guess because my new drive is not a reader of "system"? I can see that my old drive is listed as 'system '. How to make my other even without having to re - install all over again? Thank you!

    Hi Fishlipps,

    Thanks for posting. Most likely you see it as your boot.ini is located on a drive corresponding to your system on a different drive. The easy way to do this would be to reinstall or do a repair on the computer installation. Please make a backup before attempting this.

    1.

    When the message Press any key to boot from the CD appears on your screen, press a key to start your computer from the Windows XP CD.

    2.

    When you see the message to install Windows XP nowand then press ENTER is displayed on the Welcome to the Setup screen, press ENTER.

    3.

    Do not choose the option to press R to use the Recovery Console.

    4.

    In the Windows XP licensing agreement, press F8 to accept the license agreement.

    5.

    Make sure that your current installation of Windows XP is selected in the box, and then press R to repair Windows XP.

    6.

    Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

    Another option would be to modify the boot.ini located directly on the root of your drive. Below is a knockout with instructions on how to do it. However please backup all your data by doing one of them because both can make your computer unbootable.
