G71 340US hard drive replacement/upgrade questions

I have a hard drive that is dying a slow death.  Only, I ordered a new hard drive for this laptop update a few minutes previously, literally and noticed a difference on the product page of the etailer between the title of the HDD that I ordered and the specifications for it.  The title indicated that the replacement of the hard drive is a SATA 3.0, but the specs seem to indicate that the hard drive is a SATA 6.0.  After doing my research, I know that the G71 340US laptop comes with a SATA 3.0, so I know not, at the very least, it supports SATA 3.0.

So here are my questions: the G71 340US laptop does support SATA 6.0?  If it isn't, the drivef that I just bought will be retro-compatible with this laptop?

There is no such a thing, to date anyway, which is called SATA6.

I guess you mean SATA600 instead.

SATA600 is the same specification as SATA3. A hard drive of SATA600 is interchangeable with a disc spec SATA3.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive replacement

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC, and I had problems with hard disk of the guarantee period. for example I buy in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and 2012. Next time, he failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on average).

    The last time it failed, the warranty has expired so I thought to give it a try as employment through fixing/amortization of bad sector seagate software, Toshiba... that came out of Smart Drive Error.

    I use the HARD drive for some time now, but want to be ready for the next round and I don't know that he's going to be gone for good next time.

    Current HARD disk is 640 GB, 7200 RPM hard drive (replaced in 2012). HP 621046-001 manufacturer.

    When replacing, can I use ANY hard drive 640 GB? Can I use a hard drive that is higher than 640 GB? Different RPM?

    Any suggestions on hard drive?

    The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work properly. I had to use the first game I had created just after I bought the laptop.

    Thank you.

    I think that 160GB 2.5 "SATA III SSD is good for the system.

  • I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

    I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  • My Mac has crashed. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Suite?

    I bought my Macbook Pro 17 (it's a Mid-2009, running Cougar 10.8.4) used on eBay, and it came with Adobe Master Suite CS5. I pursued a degree in graphic design, and the computer had everything that I needed to start. Now that I'm out of College, I rely heavily on InDesign and Photoshop to get the job done. However, after five years of loyal service without problem, my Mac has crashed and I have never used time Machine. I might have to reinstall Mountain Lion or replace the hard drive. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Collection of applications? I can save them somehow?

    Any reply and help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time.

  • Hard drive replacement and warranty question Portege and Tecra models

    Good afternoon

    I'm hoping for a little clarity if a laptop warranty is invalidated if the hard drive is replaced for another title of model/difference. The company that I work buys models Tecra and Portege for these last years, if we decide to buy more large hard disks and get our IT Department install them will be that gap in the agreement of guarantee with Toshiba?

    I talked to Toshiba and they were a little gray in their response. They said that, if you didn't damage the laptop, it should be fine, but if you send it as an unrelated question, with what they can carry out repairs on the laptop if the hard drive does not match the orgional one provided...

    Can somone if this is the case? It seems ridiculous that you would not be able to replace the drive even if bought from an official and used dealer in a corporate environment.

    Kind regards

    Jonsey

    As much as I know RAM and HDD upgrade do not negate the warranty. For many models of laptops, you can find instruction how to do this. It is described in the document of the user s manual or you can find short videos on Toshiba documents (knowledge base).

    Even on this forum in the USER SELF REPLACEMENT section you will find instructions how to replace the hard drives.

    What you can also do is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and check what they say on this subject.

  • Satellite M70-192 - question of HARD drive replacement

    Hello...

    It's just my first time to ask for help in this forum... and besides, in any forum on the whole wide net.
    So, sorry if am don't do this right... that's...

    My brother bought a laptop (Toshiba Satellite M70 - 192 psm71e-01k00rar) of the Kuwait around 2006. A few months ago we started hearing "noise noise deaf deaf" - ing sound inside the camera and the screen is just deleted (there was an error message that is encrypted but I wasn't able to note it). I was able to boot from the DVD or USB drive. So I thought that maybe the hard drive has been the only problem.

    I put in a new HARD drive (a 320 GB western digital scorpio wd3200bevt) and started to reinstall the system (I forgot which of the 2 supplied Toshiba cd I inserted first - media cd or the windows xp CD-ROM) but in the middle of installing the keyboard area was so hot that I unplugged / stop the laptop immediately.

    After that, the HARD drive has become invisible to any Linux or rescue CD or utility of HARD drive that I tried to boot from... (fortunately?) The said HDD vendor as the HARD wd scorpio drive + really + defective and they replaced...

    * now the questions: * I discovered that the rated current for the HARD drive (60 GB) provided originally for the Toshiba M70 is a little bigger than the new wd scorpio *(.55 amp) *. Could this be the reason why the 1st WD Scorpion got "fried"?
    Is it a SATA1 - SATA2 question?
    How can I _properly_ replace/upgrade our laptop HARD drive?

    Please note that before I bought the new HARD drive, I ve read somewhere in the "net I could use a disk sata2 on a sata1 controller, etc. + * pls help!" * +

    Toshiba services are simply too expensive for me right now if will send it (cell phone) in a licensed shop. Why I'm in DIY mode that s. I don't think I can afford an another fried Scorpion!

    Thank you!
    yours,
    TAC

    I don t think that a larger and faster HARD drive might be the reason for the higher internal temperature.
    You said that you have heard and his strange "noise noise deaf deaf." Such sound could be created by the defective cooling module. A defective module could be responsible for the highest internal temperature

    > Is it a SATA1 - SATA2 question?
    Here's your second thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//message.jspa?MessageID=150272
    You can see that the SATA2 is compatible to the bottom and the s SATA2 HARD drive would work with common controller SATA HDD.

    > How can I properly replace/upgrade our laptop HARD drive?
    Replacing the HARD drive is not difficult. I see that you have already found the HARD drive Bay and bought a HARD drive.
    In your case I recommend using the common SATA 2.5 HARD drive with 100 GB maybe 120 GB.

  • Portege R700-1hd: Questions about HARD drive replacement and passwords

    I have a 1hd R700 with 320 GB HARD drive in stock. I want to upgrade it to 500 GB. This update should be pretty simple, cloning from the old to the new.

    However, I was wondering about the HARD drive password / finger.
    My HARD drive it configured to use a fingerprint/password on boot - I guess that it is involved in the BIOS and the drive itself, but I'm not exactly sure how.
    I think the HARD drive itself is locked, it is not a Windows or BIOS password.

    If I change the HARD drive will still be able to use startup disk HARD password/fingerprint? Are there requirements for material of HARD drive I need to consider before buying new HARD drive? As should be a specific type of HARD drive to work with password disk HARD/fingerprint digital?

    Thank you

    Hi bullerd,

    The HARD drive password is stored on the HARD drive so when you replace the HARD drive you must set a new password of HDD in BIOS. The password is not stored in the BIOS. In addition fingerprints can also be stored on the HARD drive or let s say fingerprint digital software but all of the operating system must be installed after Exchange HARD drive so it s new problem.

    So the two passwords you mentioned are stored on the HARD drive so it s no problem to swap the HARD drive. :)

  • Upgrade to Windows 10 after that I got my hard drive replaced

    Hello

    I have a Dell Inspiron 15R running Windows 10 I received through the upgrade process.

    Recently, he has developed some hard drive problems I went and got the hard drive changed but had to install windows 8 because it is the operating system it came with. So I very well, I'll go through the whole process again no problem.

    I spent a few hours trying to raise all the updates and then realized that there was none, so I downloaded the Windows 10 Upgrade Wizard and tried to go through but it gave me an error for "Operating system". It says "You need to activate Windows before upgrading".

    He said windows is activated but Activation details displays a 0xC004C003 error code. I looked at this community solutions to this and tried the phone activation process, but it says I could be victim of piracy of software through automated Messaging. Who has no sense because I was running the same copy before with my Microsoft ID and all.

    Why he thinks that the software can be hacked?

    What should I do now? It is ridiculous to force me to buy a new key. Why should I pay again for something I already own.

    If I've been duped by the store, I got my replaced hard drive so how can I restore my windows with my own key?

    Help, please!

    Thank you

    [A moderator has left your forum thread Win8 specific update to the assets of Win8 (etc) - specific forum for us.]

    I figured out how to get my key from the BIOS.

    Have you tried to activate (for example by telephone) with that key? -Online http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/24636-activate-windows-8-phone.html

    Here again, this page shows the 0xC004C003 error code means you will need to contact a Microsoft customer service representative.  YMMV

    How can I clean install windows without a disk?

    For Windows 8 (.1), see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

    If you want to upgrade to Win10, there is a way to do it, too - but I think you would be better to remove your current installation of Win8 & running (i.e. activated & fully-patched - including get Windows installed 8.1) before worrying about the upgrade to Win10.

    PS: The guy 'at the store' caused these hassles. Maybe you should contact the store & gripe?

  • Question of hard drive replacement warranty.

    I just bought my first Dell laptop, which comes with 1 year limited warranty.

    The laptop itself has a 1 TB HDD and an SSD of 32 GB. If I took it to an authorized and had the SSD has swapped a larger internal drive, is that voids the warranty on the machine?

    It's my first computer I actually bought for my part, I want to make sure I'm doing everything right.

    You did not mention the computer model of office or the laptop you are talking about if this response is from guess your configuration.

    Generally systems with a mechanical hard drive capacity (the disk of 1 TB in your case) and a small capacity SSD (32 GB in your case) are delivered with the ssd configured to be used as two player cache to accelerate the use of the disc hard capacity mechanical with the software Intel Rapid STORAGE, but also a way to speed up startup and wake from sleep with the Intel Rapid START software.   The small capacity of 32 GB SSD is very probably a small card called mSATA (micro SATA).   A 32 GB drive is not enough space to use as a boot drive.  There are 64, 128, 256 GB mSATA but discs are not really worth the expense.   It isn't really a replacement value for the mechanical hard drive capacity with a 2.5 "SSD (very expensive for a1gb SSD 2.5" ($400?).)

    The combination of a mechanical drive inexpensive large capacity and low capacity mSATA is the best of both worlds, great amount of storage at a low price and the fast performance of an SSD as you often use the same files over and over again and the SSD used as cache makes the system behaves almost as fast as a machine that has only a solid state for most of the users drive.

    All that is to say that you have probably no need to spend money on an update unless you need to improve the marginal performance it provides, or you simply have money burning a hole in your pocket and want to spend.

    To answer your question on if your warranty make changes to your original system configuration, the answer is now.  However, if you encounter a problem that Dell feels support is linked to a part, you added to the system they may ask you to remove it and restore the original return to figuration co system to continue troubleshooting... But it is quite likely that this would never happen.

  • Satellite P200-1BA - questions about the HARD drive RAM upgrade

    There is a 2nd internal HARD drive Bay, but not a female connector. Can I install it? How?
    There are 2 slots for RAM, all together 2 GB. Is it possible to exit an and instead place a token 2 GB to 3 GB total or should I always double channel pair RAM?

    It is not possible to install the second HARD drive. The laptop box is universal for all models P200, but some of them are delivered with 2 drives hard HDD upgrade is not possible.

    With the RAM modules, you can do what you want. To be more precise, YES! You can remove a 1 GB module and put 2 GB RAM. Please just use high quality Rams and not some products without name at low cost.
