HARD drive caddy gets stuck into the Ultrabay slot. T510.

I bought myself a caddy of SATA hard drive on ebay (Yes, a knockoff of one) and put it in the ultrabay with an SSD inside housing (the plan was to clone my current drive for the SSD and then put the SSD into the slot of the readers later). The caddy went fine, but now it just won't come out. I push the release switch and try to push the second switch upward, but it is completely stuck in there...

My first plan was to remove the keyboard and just take a look to see if there's anything obviously wrong. This plan was stopped when one of the screws holding the keyboard in place was too tight, and they are really small screws. I didn't try not more scared to round the screw head.

If at this point, I'm probably going to have to send walking back to Lenovo and ask them to disassemble the laptop to get that thing. Until I do that, someone has ideas or ideas on what could be done?

  • HARD drive 2 TB - stuck to the size of the LUN 256 GB

    I'm unable to untilize the free space on a 2 TB HARD drive. I am told is 1.81 TB free space but I'm going to create a data store, I thought that the maximum size is 256 GB. Also, when I try to increase it, it tells me that the value is greater than the capacity of the disc (which contradicts the previous readings).

  • Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9 - use of the HARD Drive Caddy

    Hello

    When I got my new laptop the first think I did was to install an SSD.

    I don't usually use my optical Bay so I am planning to install a HARD drive enclosure.
    Someone has already done this, and if so have you had any problems? Also, what are data transfer speeds?

    Thank you

    Fraser

    I can't tell you if this extra HARD drive caddy will work in the Satellite Pro C50 series STRANGE Bay - A - 1 K 9 because that depends on the support of the BIOS and the controller.

    I read about these updates several times in different forums and to be stone, sometimes it is possible, but in many cases, the BIOS does not recognize this drive caddy HARD and laptop does not start.

    In the case where you have already tried these updates, please share the details with us!
    I think it would be very interesting for others, if this update worked correctly.

  • I need to format the hard drive but don't have the windows vista disc to reinstall, but have had the key code that vista was preinstalled do I have to buy a new drive for vista

    I need to format the hard drive but don't have the windows vista disc to reinstall, but have had the key code that vista was preinstalled do I have to buy a new drive for vista

    Hello

    How to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • My files on the hard drive are getting corrupted?

    I use the model of MacBook Air 2013 Yosemite running. I have a Seagate BackPlus 1 TB drive to NTFS. And I use Tuxers NTFS on my Mac to read and write files from NTFS devices. Lately, I'm sloly from knowledge that my files on the hard drive are getting corrupted. When I try to open any folder I blocks until I have remove my hard drive. I lost some files like this. Now, they are completely inaccessilble. The big sone files show even ehen 0 bytes, they are around a GB or something. I start out freak because all my data is in this hard drive. 1 TB of data. Its my life is locked in it.

    Is someone can you please tell me what is happening with my hard drive?

    Thanks in advance...

    Is someone can you please tell me what is happening with my hard drive?

    Probably not. The problem you are experiencing is almost certainly that the drive itself has failed. It could have also been caused by third party software that you use to support a formatted NTFS volume. Isolate the cause to one or the other is probably not an effort worth it, because the files themselves are probably already damaged and unusable. In this case the only alternative to certain to succeed is to restore from a backup.

    As you know the Mac FAT32 and ExFAT supports and can read, but not write - formatted NTFS volume. For this reason, if you ask the Windows compatibility, you must select ExFAT.

    You could try using the third-party data recovery software, even if success is not guaranteed. I can offer no specific product recommendations.

    Hi Mikepolifka,

    ؠ What updates did you install on your computer?

    Try SafeMode as the first step.

    Safe mode is useful for troubleshooting problems with programs and drivers that might not start correctly, or that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. If a problem does not reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. If a program recently installed, device, or driver prevents Windows from running correctly, you can start your computer in safe mode, and then remove the program that is causing the problem.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    You can also perform a restore of the system on your computer and check if the problem persists.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

    If it works fine after system restore you may have to manually install updates one and check the status.

    I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook.  (No DVD player).  From the start on the hard drive, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor.  The cursor does not type.  For me, maybe I need to reinstall windows 7 and startup tasks are corrupt.  I have my product key genuine for the computer, but no way to get to windows.  How to restore windows on a netbook that won't start?

    original title: Netbook Windows 7 problem

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    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.

    Borrow a 32 bit Genuine Windows 7 friends DVD disc if you know someone who has one.

    Make an image of the DVD, you can use a program like ISO Recorder to do.

    If you don't have a Windows 7 DVD to borrow, try to upload a picture:

    I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility. However, the next time you start, the startup process is blocked to halfway to new (on the screen with the toolbar and the status of apple). I want a more permanent solution to reinstall the operating system every time. Would appreciate someone's suggestions and thanks in advance.

    Replace your hard drive.

    You have a backup of trust? If not, buy a disc of exterrnal for that as well.

    The progress bar from the left end at the beginning of the commissioning indicates that your drive has been so damaged, it could not be mounted. Five minutes of progress bar is shown as it does the equivalent of disk utility (ERD [Directory]). If you have reinstalled several times and the problem is not fixed, your drive is in solid form.
