• HARD drive and memory upgrade on the Satellite P200 - 17 c

  Hello

  I own Satellite P200 17 c. My current memory is DDR2 PC2-5300 2 GB. I would like to upgrade to DDR2 PC2 - 6400 4 GB of ram. I can do and it's going to be some speed improvements, if I update to PC2-6400 PC2-5300 instead?

  I have 2 hard drives on my P200 17 c. 2 x 100 GB. I want to upgrade one of these two HD ranging from 100 GB to 320 GB 5400 RPM. can I do this? and it'll be a difference if I update with HD who has 7200 RPM?

  Thank you

  First of all: your machine is able to handle a maximum capacity of 4 GB RAM, but please be aware that you won´t be able to use all of the 4 GB due to some limitations of the chipset that are explained in the following article: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

  Regarding the speed of module: chipset specifications are defined for PC5300, so it will not improve your speed when you install faster modules.

  If you want to upgrade your hard drive then do as you like, because it shouldn´t be any restrictions, you can install a drive with 7200 RPM with a slower.

  The only difference will be that the faster drive faster. The performance of the entire system would increase only when you´re install your operating system on the disk more fast (which is the recommendation of my side :))

  My hard drive stop working on my HP Pavilion 23-g013w all in one computer. I replaced it with a new 1 TB hard drive. I also installed new memory Crucial upgrade to 16 GB.   All new "hardware" is installed on the computer.

• Replace the hard drive and memory - guaranteed?

  Recently, I replaced the hard drive on the Wyvern with a 640 GB WD Scorpio Blue after finding that the Toshiba disk stock was reallocating too many sectors (readers are functionally identical), and memory has been updated there is a 2 x 4 GB G.SKILL Kit (from stock 1x4Go, 1x2GB).  My laptop now needs to be repaired for hardware problems totally unrelated to these parties (specifically, one damaged USB and Ethernet Jack).  Overall coverage is affected by these parts or these replacements continue to allow outside replaced part complete warranty coverage?  (The Service Manual indicates that both of these parts are replaceable by the user.)

  Watch more closely the warranty conditions and found:

  This limited warranty [...] does not extend to any product [...] that has been damaged or rendered defective [...] (g) by modification or service by a person who [...] (iii) your own installation of end-user replaceable HP or HP parts if available for your product in the country or region maintenance. [...]

  The way I read the warranty conditions, the conditions above may apply, because the parts are not 'HP or HP approved parts', but only if the defect is actually caused by the replacement of these parts.  In addition, the Federal law stipulates that the simple use of third parties do not void a warranty (15 USC §2302 (c); Please note that I am not a lawyer).

  Anyone else agree or disagree with that?

  Michelle,

  Try for battery HP to THE Bing search engine, I found several sites in line with the Chargers and batteries. BattDepot Australia seems to have decent prices... At$ 24.49 for the loader and THE $37,49 for battery. If you have not yet checked the HP battery reminder page, I recommend you do this first.

• Hard drive and memory for Lenovo idea Pad S10

  I have a Lenovo idea Pad S10 and I love it.  Its a great little machine.  I would like to make one or two questions please.  Can on put a larger hard drive and how much memory is the maximum.  I currently have 2 GB of memory.

  Also, I tried to do my income tax using it - I uses Taxcut and tried to install it on and the machine said he couldn't make Taxcut.  I suppose that the system is not big enough to cope.  If true that I very well because I have a desktop computer, but I was just wondering if we can get a bigger hard drive and if it would make a difference.

  No complaints at all, it's a great machine.

  Thank you

• Slow reaction to hard drive or memory

  I see in my journal from the mistakes of this message.  My computer keeps "freezing".

  The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block

  My guess is that it is a bad block on your D: partition.  You must run 'chkdsk' with the option/r (repair) to fix any bad blocks.  If it finds a bad block, he will try to get it back and then mark it so that he is not back.  Usually the d partition: is a recovery partition, but it wouldn't hurt to do a check disk on all your hard drives.

• What are the requirements with respect to a processor and hard drive and memory is required to run windows seven effectively?

  Can I just move from XP to windows 7 without loosung files already under Xp.

  While XP is allowed as a way to upgrade to Windows 7, you must perform a new installation ("custom"). It is always wise to backup your data on external media (burn DVD, copy to external hard drive, etc.) before you do anything too drastic to install a new operating system.

  Make sure that your hardware is supported in Windows 7. You will need drivers. You can find them in either the OEM (HP, Dell, etc.) If you have this kind of machine or mftrs of individual hardware components. (motherboard, video card, etc.).

• HARD drive with memory cache 64 MB or 128 MB cache?

  If I missed this info on the page of tweakers so someone must fly SA and throw a keyboard on my face because I looked! Yes, I did!

  I was 99% decided on my new PC build when my it provider by e-mail at reduced prices on Seagate Constellation 4TB leads with 128 MB of cache, against the other 4TB readers I considered as having a 64 MB cache.

  This cache is how beneficial when it comes to a video editing multicamera and calibration of effects/color overlay? It's a little more expensive and research, I quickly made, it seems that it is not worth the thousand additional (or one hundred, in terms of dollar...) so please could someone explain the advantages/disadvantages? Thank you!

  More cache is better of course, but I suspect that you would be difficult to see any difference between to 4 disks with cache of 128 MB 64 vs.

  Windows caches too your activity by car and you have gigabytes of RAM to work with, not only of megabytes.

  For the first time, you want to run fast and risky:

  -Right click to file on a drive letter Manager to obtain the Properties dialog box

  -Select the Hardware tab, select your drive and click Properties

  -Select the policies tab

  -Select 'Best performance' (default) for removal policy

  -check the "Enable write cache on the device (default)

  -check the "turn off Windows write hot flushes buffer cache" (default value is not checked)

• Satellite A100 - memory and hard drive upgrade

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Satellite A100-158 of the model code PSAA9E-01700VPT. It came with a 80 GB HDD at 5400 RPM S.M.A.R.T. and 1 GB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz).

  I think that my computer slows to a crawl because maybe I thought the hard drive being old and low memory for recent programs and therefore upgrade the hard drive and memory.

  A Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 inch would fit? According to them, it's running at 7200 RPM with the energy consumption of a drive 5400 RPM (marketing simply bad maybe).

  And a memory card Kingston 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz working? It has a higher frequency than my current ram, but then I guess he can withdraw maximum permitted by the motherboard? I guess that's 533 Mhz as my module memory factory. I can also buy a module 2 GB of the same manufacturer exact DDR 2 as well but 667 MHz instead... still higher than my current memory module.

  Thanks much for the tips... I hope that this will bring my A100 more in standards without going to a new laptop :)

  Hello

  Generally, a HARD drive with more RPM isn't a problem, but he needs a little more power and product more heat, but it should work.
  It s based on your application that you are running. For normal use, 5400 RPM should be ok.

  The modules of RAM with higher specifications are also no problem because it s downgrade compatible for lower speed (533 MHz).
  Kingston is always recommendable, I've never had a problem with these modules. :)

• Pavilion DV6 freezes but passes the Tests of memory and HARD drive

  I have a dv6-3025dx that the POST is fine. It does not start after the screen 7 start, the recovery Partition loading bar or a Windows 7 recovery disk loading bar. The HP Vision diagnostic and a drive OEM 7 freeze as well. Start with a Ubuntu DVD displays icon on the keyboard at the bottom then nothing else than a cursor flashing at the top left of the screen. The HARD drive and memory in the BIOS Tests pass but the start-up Test, the Burn-in Test and the Test of memory in the partition the disk diagnostic all freeze immediately.

  I reset BIOS, change the RAM with known working sticks and clone the HDD on a well known player and still get the same result. I had to clone the drive from a different machine, because Acronis True Image 2011 boot disk crashes after the splash screen. A 3rd party BACK base RAM and HDD tests pass with flying colors; including Windows, MemTest86 Memory Diagnostic + and video memory Stress test. Basically, I can't start any GUI environment. only of DOS or Linux command line. I'm guessing that maybe the video chip? Ideas or confirm my diagnosis?

  Thank you!

  You make text based OSes seem to work well. This could mean that the video card is at fault with loads greater than the bare.

  However, it could also be a SATA controller flaw that does not correctly handle the load. There is really no way to test this reliable I found.

  No matter whether the video controller or the controller SATA, the result is the same and that is replace the motherboard. If it was office, a SATA PCI-based controller can be purchased cheap enough to exclude it. However, this is not an option here.

  It really isn't too much other material in a notebook that is involved in the boot process and most of the material is soldered to the motherboard.

  I'm sorry.

• Failed hard drive on HP laptop. After replacement, can I put OS and memory?

  I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook PC, model dv9617nr (HP pn GS730UA).  An error message at startup says "Operating system not found" so my Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit (updated two years ago) does not load. I guess that means that my hard drive has failed. How can I test this hypothesis? Yet once, guess I am not mistaken, and I ordered the recommended replacement (pn 590736-001 HP) of spare parts warehouse ($142.50 plus port charges). Are there instructions on internet to make this replacement? After I do this replacement, I thought I could install Windows 7 I have and upgrade to 4 GB SODIMM the 1 GB SODIMM memory that originally served as. What problems I have with hardware compatibility with Windows 7? If the memory module that I use has the same features as the HP recommended replacement (pn 598861-001 HP), i.e. 800 MHz, 200 pins, PC2-6400, SDRAM, but greater capacity memory of 4 GB, I have compatibility problems to use it? Please advise me on these issues. Thanks, Jeff

  Hi, Jeff:

  Let me knock your question...

  First, to confirm that your HARD drive is dead, go into your BIOS menu. There should be a diagnostic utility hard disk and memory.  Run the HARD drive Diagnostics utility and see what it reports. More that likely that the disk HARD fell down, and is more usable.

  You can order a replacement disk or you can get just about any hard drive SATA II - 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM.

  You could go to 250 to 500 GB, if you choose. Unfortunately at the present time, HARD drive prices are unreasonably high due to the flooding in Thailand, where many HARD drive manufacturing plants. Some have been damaged heavily, causing HARD drive prices triple almost from one day to the next.

  This is a disc, you can get that I think is better than what you have now: this one is 7 200 RPM. Faster but uses more energy.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822136279

  You can get the version of 5400 RPM... too similar. Not as good as the caviar black. It's more along the line of what you would get at HP.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822136387

  Read the comments at the same time, or you are free to get HP.

  There are instructions for installing the hard drive and memory on your laptop support and driver page. Click on the manuals on the right side of the page.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01278446

  So, you want to watch the maintenance and care guide.

  You can upgrade the memory to a maximum of 4 GB by using 2 x 2 GB memory PC2-6400. You can get it at HP, or you can get it on the link below. It is the memory that I use. In fact I just ordered this same memory to install my sister-in-law in dv6700.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820148159

  Now you can install W7 very well. I installed W7 Home Premium 64 bit on my dv6810us which has pretty much the same material as your and 4 GB of memory (the same that I posted above).

  However, here's the catch. It depends on what version of W7 you have. If you have a W7 upgrade version, you must install a qualifying operating system on the hard disk before you can improve.

  If you have a full version of Windows 7, then you can install it on a blank hard drive.

  If you have the version upgrade, contact the HP support and ordering a set of recovery disks Vista. Install Vista, then uprade to W7 if you have the updated release of W7.

  You can use the vista drivers support page of your laptop for all the drivers you need that W7 has no power.

  One thing... NOT (updated flash) BIOS while running Windows 7. You can Flash only using windows vista.

  I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please let us know.
