• Format hard drive for Media Center

  I have a Dell E1705, which I used for several years.  During the system was under warranty, a Dell technician I crossed of reformatting the hard drive and had me format in a single partition.  I discovered once this is completed there is a hidden partition to enable the functionality of Media Center work.  I tried to make a 1.5 GB hidden partition, but could not make it work.  I'm tired of formatting and reinstalling and just went ahead and started using it.  Supervisor of the technician, I was working with at the time said to call him just at the time when I wanted to start.

  My warranty has now lapsed.  I want to reformat the hard disk and to return the media center functionality.  I don't know how to format the drive hard so that the installation works properly.

  I have the reinstallation of the operating system CD (DVD) "Version of Windows Media Center 2005 with Update Rollup."  I have a Cd labeled "to reinstall Dell Tools System Software", "Drivers and Utilities for.

  reinstall Dell Inspiron and XPS system software","to reinstall Dell Media Experience 3.1 "and" to reinstall Dell MediaDirect on Dell Inspiron 9400 and E1705 systems".

  I think I can get through the basics of starting from the DVD and reinstall Windows as well as to get pilots back in the drivers disk.   I would get the media central part back to feature so needs to know how to reformat/repartition my hard drive so that it works.  All the words of wisdom / tutorial on adding information necessary to solve my problem would be appreciated also.  I looked around, on the support.dell.com site and forum of users without finding something that helps me to solve this problem.

  
  

• new hard drive for laptop

  I have a laptop dv7-3140el and HD samsung HM641JI 640GB 2.5 "SATA 5400 RPM (to replace car failure). To buy a new hard drive I have to take the same or I can take 7200 RPM instead of 5400? What technical specifications should I look for when buying a hard drive for computer laptop dv7-3140el? I wouldn't make a bad purchase!

  Sorry for my bad English

  Hello

  Here are a few points to note when replacing your HARD drive:

  You are not limited to any particular drive manufacturer.

  The speed of rotation of the disc can be 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM

  The new drive HARD should be at least the same capacity (or slightly more is okay) as the original drive - mounting a drive smaller than the original often causes risks with recovery media.

  The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  750 GB hard drive for laptop.

  If necessary, the procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 47 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

  Kind regards

• replacing hard drive for Pav P7-1240 & SSD

  Part 1: I have a desktop computer Pavilion P7-1240. It is just 1.5 years... 1 TB Hitachi hard drive has not now.  I went out and bought a WD 1 TB Caviar Black internal Performance Desktop retail hard drive Kit (WD1003FZEX); go mainly for the guarantee of 5 years... the rest of the features seemed to match (3.5 ", 7200, 1 to, SATA 6) except the WD a 64 MB cache, the Hitach did not state on the player the amount of cache.  Will this swap drive out like for like or any other change in the drivers, etc. should be done?

  Part 2: I would like to install a 128 GB SSD in the P7 as the main OS drive.  What changes should be made so that the system recognizes the additional disk.  I tried to plug into the SATA4 slot and the power cable, but the system did not not recognize/see the SSD drive.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated for these two.   Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I return the drive and get a non-advanced HD format.  This way your recovery media, HP will work. If you do not create the external HP recovery media then contact HP support and order media.

  In addition I send back the SSD and order 240 + GB model so that the support of HP recovery will allow a restoration works.  If you decide to go with this option, then keep the hard drive for now.  It may be "well-prepared" once you have Windows 7 running with the latest updates. At least BIOS settings have been tampered with then the SSD is probably dead.

  While there may be other ways to get your PC up in the race without using the HP recovery media, this can and has led to confusion later when start HP function keys do not work properly.

• Secondary hard drive for Satellite Pro P200-1DV

  Anyone know if it is possible to add a second hard drive for the P200-1DV?

  There is room inside the machine, but there is no connector?

  As I know the second HARD drive update is not possible because there is no available connectors. The universal laptop Briefcase belongs and it will be used for all models of laptops P200 and some of them come with 2 hard drives.

• Replacement hard drive for Portege P2010 - part number required

  Hello Martin

  Unfortunately I was found no specific information. If I'm right, this unit needs 1.9 HDD and I think it can be much more expensive as 2.5 standard.

  Check it please this page http://www.laptopbits.co.uk/Database_files/Toshiba_Portege_2000_and_2010_series_spares.htm
  You will find a few pieces of upgrade for your device.

  Good bye

• Compatible hard drives for Portege 3480CT

  Hello

  I have a Portege 3480CT and I need to replace its 12 GB (IBM & reg Travelstar) drive hard internal since the former on a developed bad blocks. Now, I assumed that it would be relatively simple, but I was wrong.

  In any case, I got a replacement 2.5 "HD (this time a Hitachi Travelstar, 20 GB drive), but I couldn't make it work. I ran the program from IBM/Hitachi diagnosis and while the old 12 GB HDD is detected and removed ok, the 20 GB does not even get detected (i.e., seems that nothing is on the line of the IDE).

  It was suggested to me by IBM and Hitachi that there is a list of compatibility to their hard drives, and may not be supported (http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/compatibility.htm), but I could not find my disc on their list (model is HTS424020M9AT00). Basically, what I want to know is what drives * are * compatible or what my problem with the laptop is otherwise.

  For more info, when I try to install Win2k, I get an ArcRead failure, probably because he thinks that the drive does not exist.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I guess that there is problem with drive HARD and false parameter who decide if the HARD drive is the master or slave.

  In my opinion you should contact the Service partner to ask them which HDD is suitable for your device. You can also check on the net and picking up some information because there are a lot of different suppliers where you can buy the HARD drive. I also found information that it is possible to use the 40 GB HARD drive for your unit, but it must be built in by seller.

• Adding 3rd hard drive for HP Pavilion Elite m9250f

  I have a Pavilion Elite m9250f running Windows Vista Home 64 bit. The computer currently has two 500 GB hard drives for a total capacity of 1 TB. I would like to add a third drive to increase storage capacity.  I have a SATA to 2 to and cables. When I tried to install the new drive above the two existing disks, he did not slide smoothly. When I removed the already highest reader, I could slide the new drive into but the screws are not line up properly with the new drive. This leads me to believe that I can not install a third drive in the Bay. Is this a correct assumption?

  I have an available expansion Bay below the optical drive but am not sure that it is usable for a hard drive. If the use of the expansion Bay is possible, do I have to buy a hook or how to mount the drive in this space?

  If necessary, I can copy the data from the secondary drive on an external drive and replace it with the new drive. However, I need confirmation that the secondary is the player in the foreground of both in the hard disc enclosure.

  Thank you for your help.

  If the task under the existing optical Bay is open, just use an adapter to fill the space and to mount the drive in there.  Make sure of course that there is a power cord and a SATA port.

  Here is an example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816119027

• Satellite A105-S4074 - which HARD drive for upgrade?

  I want to replace the Toshiba MK1234GSX (120 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA-150, 8 MB cache) hard drive on my A105-S4074 laptop with a bigger. My question is whether it is good to buy a Toshiba HDD no.

  Available on direct to my computer Toshiba laptop is only the following HARD disk:
  HDDR320I02X
  Toshiba 320 GB 2.5 "5400 RPM internal notebook hard drive - SATA"
  Capacity: 320 GB
  Interface: Serial ATA 150
  Speed: 5400 RPM
  Buffer size: 8 MB

  I wonder if such a 320 GB or 500 GB WD HARD or Momentus drive will work very well, for example
  -Western Digital 320 GB / 500 GB Scorpio blue SATAII 5400 RPM 2.5 IN. 8 MB in bulk / OEM hard drive (WD3200BEVT/WD5000BEVT
  -Seagate Momentus 5400.6 320/500 GB 5400 RPM / MIN SATA 3 GB/s 8 MB Cache 2.5 inch internal NB Hard Drive (ST9320325AS/ST9320325AS)

  Also, is it wise purchase a 7200 RPM HARD drive for this laptop? Would this work?

  Thank you

  Hello

  First on interface SATA there is no capacity limit. This means that you can buy each HARD drive with SATA interface and it should work fine.

  It is also irrelevant if you buy a Toshiba, Western Digital, etc. There is not much difference between the models. It of your choice what you buy! ;)

  Theoretically, 7200 RPM HARD drive should work but don t forget that they produce more heat and need more battery power. 5400 RPM should be sufficient for most applications.

• How to partition a hard drive for a B50-70 for Linux? No problem with that?

  Hello

  How to partition a hard drive for a B50-70?

  I want to install Linux and keep Windows 8.1 also.

  This will affect the software factory example: back up hard drive function, OKR?

  Problems partitioning B50 of the 1970s?

  Is it acquisitions have 8.1 Windows on a laptop Lenovo-B50-7?

  What will happen if I got rid of Windows 8.1 operating system?

  Thanks in advance.

  Information on the machine:

  B50-70

  Model name: 20384

  Windows 8.1

  I've not seen / heard of successful use of the flash drive for recovery purposes. The default software using optical disk, when I used it on my G580.

  If your laptop does not have a CD / DVD burner, you may need to contact them directly to discuss this option.

  As to where he is? It is a hidden partition on the hard drive, is usually not accessible.

  Cloning the hard drive can not return to that partition hidden - it would be a little bit the clone of the drive to work.

  I recommend to download your manual of maintenance on the Support site and learn more about the 100% specific for your laptop recovery process.
