• Hard disk Configuration question...

  Hello

  I just ordered a new Qosmio custom.  It has an i7 Processer 4700MQ and 16 GB DDR3L 1600 MHZ SDRAM.  The primary HD is an mSATA SSD 256GB.  The second and third HDs are the two 500 GB (7200 RPM, Serial ATA)

  I'm looking for the best configuration of the installation for the first Pro on hard disks for best results with respect to the speed and efficiency.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you for your consideration.  It is a big problem for me and I am in kind of uncharted waters with several hard drives.  It is a big step up.  (I'm not a professional.  It's all related hobby)

  It looks like a portable Setup loud enough!

  I suggest doing a RAID 0 the two HDS and most all the data files (media, projects, export) on the RAID. This should give you the best performance for your hardware.

  For files of zero and cache you can experiment with try them first on boot/OS/programs (SSD) drive vs RAID array 0.

  Good luck and please report your finds for your specific projects.

  Kind regards

• Hard disk Partition question

  I just bought this computer two days ago. I noticed after I put everything in place that the hard drive has been split in two. How can I send all the space of the D: drive on the C: drive? I tried to extend the volume, but it won't let me.

  Please see these images:

  Thanks for the help!

  Yes, on the data partition. It will then turn black, which means the unallocated space. You will be able to extend the partition to the OS after that.

• Tecra 8000: Question on the HARD disk and the password

  Hi all
  A market recently my son bought an old laptop Toshiba T8000.

  Personally, I have absolutely no knowledge of the laptop myself as a desktop is everything I've ever used.
  However, I recharged the battery and the power, it asks for a password, even if what I believe to be the HD is missing (Vacant housing, left under the keyboard and behind the battery)

  Our local store offers him an incredible £121 a new HD

  HA wasted his pocket money on it or can he get a password and the HD at reasonable price to fit?

  Any help is greatly welcomed.

  BREZ.

  Hello

  Especially the password appears at the beginning of the startup procedure because the BIOS password has been set.
  Unfortunately, you cannot delete or remove the BIOS password if the old password of BIOS is not known to you. Either contact you the person who sells you the device and ask for the password or you will contact the service partner in your country for a deletion.

  I guess that's a Tecra 8000 with the number PAT80XE.
  This unit is a little older and so I think that hard drives are rare, a little so more expensive.
  By the way: the device supports an EIDE HARD disk interface

• R60 hard drive interface

  Hello

  I would like to buy Solid State Drive and Ultrabay Slim adapter for my ThinkPad R60 (9456-HTG) then install SSD as internal hard drive, while my original hard drive would be in housing ultrabay (internal SSD for the system and hard drive in the ultrabay for use from time to time slot). However, I doubt what kind of SSD should I buy? I mean what kind of interface? In other words, what hard disk interface is compatible with TP R60? Serial - ATA (SATA/150) I or Paralel ATA? According to the information on the Lenovo Web page it is SATA (which probably means SATA I). According to the information on the original web page of the manufacturer of the hard drive, it could be SATA I (SATA/150) or Ultra ATA/133 as it is written to the standard ATA/ATAPI-7. According to Ultrabay Slim adapterinformation, which must be compatible with my laptop, the Web ThinkWiki page: 'the map contains a PATA to SATA bridge piece, which means that the drive is SATA, it connects as a PATA (IDE) device', then perhaps also the internal drive has PATA-133 Interface? So, to make the story short, what type of interface is used for a hard drive in TP R60? Anyone know the final answer?

  Concerning

  Eryk

  The system hard drive is SATA. Optical drive [which you intend to replace the Ultrabay adapter] is PATA/IDE.

  Lecter says:

  'The map contains a PATA to SATA bridge piece, which means that the drive is SATA, it connects as a device PATA (IDE)'

  This means that the adapter Ultrabay [for use a second hard drive] must convert the SATA hard drive [old drive system hard] for use with the PATA/IDE controller. Where the word "adapter".

• Satellite T130-hard disk/disk-Start Up question

  Hello

  I have a T130 2 years old that I use every day for work and have known no problem at all with him until a few days ago, when I noticed that it was taking longer than usual, to power.

  I checked all of my updates were up-to-date they are as far as I am aware of the Tempro and Windows. I did an AVG scan and nothing came out of the ordinary there and I'm still more than a third of the space on my hard drive.

  Everything was going well for a few days then yesterday when I tried to turn on the laptop wouldn't turn on at all--after several tries, on what he finally came and I kept it in sleep/stand by mode until I find what is happening. I ran the Diagnostic PC tool and everything is coming as a PASS except for the hard disk which appears in case of FAILURE. My USB pen is not registered when I try to use it. That said when I checked the PC Health Monitor, it says that my HARD drive was working and that my hard drive was 'good '.

  I assume from the above that there can only be one disk hard question - what is my next step? This kind of thing is easy to repair? Am I covered for what is a matter of product and less than five years, since I bought the laptop?

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  If the HARD drive is not present in the BIOS, you will need to replace the HARD drive with a new one.
  Do you know how to access the BIOS?
  Switch on and press the F2 key. Now, you should check the first page of the BIOS. Usually the CD/DVD drive and the HARD drive must be included with all the details.
  If the BIOS could not recognize the HARD drive, this means that the HARD drive is faulty.

  To my knowledge, you could use a simple 2.5 HDD.
  Here is a beautiful statement containing a few photos and film how to replace HDD on T130 series.

• If the hard disk dies this affect router/WiFi?  I know that this seems to be a strange question.

  If the internal hard drive dies this affect router/WiFi?  I know that this seems to be a strange question.  Logically, they seems to be two independent functions.  However, since I do not understand how it works...

  I plan to spend my old airport extreme (about 7 years) at an airport new Time Capsule or Airport Extreme for better wi - fi range.

  Where the internal hard disk come into your Airport Extreme or Time Capsule dying airport upgrade?

  If the disc is dead, it will be not not to be replaced. This should be done first before to other devices.

• Satellite A100-049: Question about HARD disk space

  My new laptop has a 120 GB hard drive. It is partitioned into 2 drives. My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software on it yet it shows 18 used and only 37 GB free. Can someone tell me why it does not show 2 and 55 GB free.

  Hello

  > My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software top

  I put t believe that! Always is that the device was shipped with Vista or am I wrong?
  I installed Vista on my laptop and the Vista installation needs about 17 18 GB on the HARD disk. Then why you are suggesting there is only 2 GB?

  You said 37GB free on the HARD drive. For me it ok s. 55 GB GB 37 GB = 18
  What's the problem?

• Question on the hard disk on Satellite M40X

  I'm working on a clients M40x and the hard drive broke down and I would like to replace it and I have some options and I was wondering if they will work.

  Currently, there is a MK6025GAS in which is fried. Below are the options I have.

  1 MK6034GAX
  2 MK8032GAX

  Can I use a Maxtor? If Yes, what models?

  HUGE thanks :)

  Hi dude

  You can use the hard disks of each production. It s any HDD manufacturing is. The HARD drive is important! So you need a drive that supports the enhanced IDE (ATA-6) interface!

  The SATA drives are not compatible.

  The MK6034GAX 60 GB HDD and MK8032GAX 80 GB HARD drive looks to support the ATA-100 interface (ATA-6). So, in my opinion, the hard drives must be compatible and should run

• Satellite A200 - Question on RAM and HARD disk partitions

  Maybe it's in the wrong section... I do not know.

  I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).

  The thing is that I have to format and partition differently (since I dual boot Linux) and need to create a structure more like 40,40,100 or such. (100 in fat32, so data is available for both)

  Now I wonder what data should I keep these readers. There is a folder called Toshiba on the C:\ drive that seems to have the drivers and such, some wallpapers and who knows what else. Then there's the WinRE called D: drive which has a kind of sdi and wim files.

  Another question, if I buy the 2 GB that is listed in the compatible options for my laptop (A200 - 28 p)
  Link: [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/individualOptions.do?service=UK&OPTION_ID=138301&t oshibaShop = true & SelCategorie = 4700]
  It will match the 2 GB already in the laptop? It will void the warranty anyway?

  Hello

  > I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).
  I assume you are using Vista.
  The 2 GB partition is a hidden partition which contains the data and the backup files in Vista. This partition will be automatically created during the installation of Vista.

  On the other partition 90GB.
  Well, this partition (partition of data) can be used to store files such as photos, movies, personal documents, etc. it s always recommended to partition a large HDD in more partition. This improves performance because the OS can access files much faster.

  Of course, you can change the size of the partitions. In Vista, you can change this in disk management.

  Regarding the upgrade of RAM;
  The laptop seems to supports the Intel® PM965 chipset and it manages 4 GB of RAM. It seems that you could use a 2 GB of RAM in one slot.

  What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

  RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
  Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
  no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
  companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
  because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
  more seamlessly.

  Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
  what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
  original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
  your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
  attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
  also have a solid plan of external backup in place.

• Satellite U405D-S2874: Question on the potential problem of hard disk

  Trying to fix a Satellite U405D-S2874 for a friend.
  As a first step, that it won't turn. Once I have re-seated hard drive, it turned on and starts very well.

  However, he still intermittently will not be powered from a power off State. I get a few indicators as power, load, etc., but at least I see Satellite logo light up, I know that it won't start/turn on fully and I get nothing on the screen.

  What is a problem with the hard drive, or the connection of drive hard, or...? I was wondering if we buy a new hard drive online, that will fix the problem.

  Thank you
  John

  > What is a problem with the hard drive, or the connection of drive hard, or...? I was wondering if we buy a new hard drive online, that will fix the problem

  I put t think that this problem could be linked to the defective HARD drive.
  Usually, the laptop must be able to turn on and the BIOS splash screen should be visible even if the HARD disk is defective.

  Moreover in most cases a message or underscore flashing appears on the screen if the HARD drive is malfunctioning

  However, it is possible to check the status of the HARD drive.
  Download the tool called Drive Fitness Test and test the HARD drive by using this software.
  If some errors would be detected, then you must replace the HARD drive.

  But if the HARD drive is ok, then I would recommend checking the RAM modules first.
  Test the laptop with a test module. Try the two slots.

  If it would not help you, then a motherboard must be verified but generally it is a work of a technician for laptop

• 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

  See you soon

• Question about upgrading windows and replacement of hard disk

  I originally had windows 7 premium 64 bit and later upgraded using a product key anytime upgrade to windows 7 Professional.  I still have the two product keys for the premium and professional.

  I want to replace my hard drive and upgrade to windows 10.

  What I asked:

  I have upgraded to windows 10 first and somehow make a boot disk, replace my hard drive, and then use the disk on the new hard disk?

  Can I get a disk to boot windows professional 7 some hand and use it on the new hard drive and then use the tool of a free upgrade?

  Any suggestion would be great.  Thank you

  You must first reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium, reactivate and then rerun the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional can make sure that it is turned on.

  After which, you can download and install the free update for Windows 10.

  Another option you have is to create an image of your current installation of Windows 7 Professional system and restore it on the new hard drive.

  How to pass Windows 7 to a bigger hard drive - Notebooks.com

  After the restoration of the image and adjust the layout of the partition, make sure that Windows is activated, then check Windows Update for the upgrade of Windows 10 or download manually:

  Retry the upgrade manually:

  Option 1:

  Download the media creation tool

  Click with the right button on the MediaCreationTool.exe file and then click on run as administrator.

  then

  • How to download official Windows 10 ISO files
  • How to: upgrade previous versions of Windows using the file ISO for Windows 10

  then

  • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
  • Reboot several times, and then try again.
  • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
  • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
  • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
  • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
  • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
  • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
  • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
  • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).
