HARD drive replacement when original is discontinued MK3265GSX - VPCEB15FG -.

Hello

I'm in the United Kingdom and in the disk HARD in my VAIO VPCEB15FG (Sony-Asia) is dead and I need to replace. However, I can't buy the original HARD drive more as it has been deleted from Toshiba (MK3265GSX). The Toshiba site mentions he was "replaced" by a new model "MK3276GSX.

This new model will allow me to use my VAIO recovery CD?

I learned from a rep in my local Sony Centre that he expected to be allowed as long as the alternative is non - AF.

In addition, what if the replacement HARD drive is bigger than the original?

Thank you very much!

@Woodaaay

No, the size of the HARD disk does not matter as long as the hard drive is a non - AF, it should work. Yes the VAIO recovery CD works even on a new HARD drive.

Hope this helps

    Try to install the ssd (of course power should be turned off before doing so). After the physical installation and place the back cover press the NOVO button. A menu should appear and select bios Setup to access the bios. If you can go into the bios put the bios configuration to the default values. Then set the PXE boot to disable. Save and exit.

    Note: You must start in a usb/dvd of windows installer since the ssd has nothing about it yet. Then may need to change some settings in bios inorder to do this.

  • Portege 4000 hard drive Replacement - what HARD drive is compatible?

    Is it possible to find a replacement for my Portege 4000 HARD drive, because the original becomes very capricious?

    Hi mate

    I think that the Portege 4000 is an elder and in my opinion this laptop supports a 2.5 HARD disk.
    I m not 100% sure, so I recommend you to install a hardware diagnostic tool like Everest Home Edition which would provide all the information on the HARD drive is internal.
    That would help you get a new, compatible HARD drive.

  • Windows problem for hard drive replacement

    I am trying to replace a hard drive in a HP d530 for a science teacher as the XP is a failure. He needs the XP until I finished preparing the Windows 7 and it has data on the XP and I put Windows 7 on the new hard drive and it has 80 GB. The old hard drive Windows XP and it is a 40 GB. I had two hard drives hooked when installing Windows 7. Windows 7, the name is the C drive and disk XP the D. I tried to start the hard drive of 7 single and it gives me an error of invalid system disk. Press a key to reboot. When I have two connected hard drives, windows 7 starts very well. A computer teacher wants to clone Windows 7 for another professor of science. He said, it won't help him with two hard drives connected. How can I get on the 80 GB stand-alone installation without having to reinstall Windows 7 Windows 7. I want to disconnect the hard drive from XP and just use the hard disk 7. I have the 7 and XP on separate hard drives. They are the two IDE hard drives. I need to get the new hard drive to boot by its self and windows 7 as a stand-alone installation.

    That's good news.

    I'm so glad you took in charge.

  • 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. :)

    Hello

    I saw the 0x0000007B BSOD caused by trying to install XP on a disk hard while the BIOS is designating the reader as AHCI instead of IDE. XP has no native AHCI drivers, resulting in a stop 7B. Unless the PC had originally Vista or Win 7, but it might be useful to check that it is not likely.

    If the BIOS is set to AHCI, you could do one of three things (depending on whether your PC has a floppy drive)...

    1 find the Setup F6 disk on AHCI support at installation time (start with the manufacturer's website if you do not already have such a thing). Watch the very hit F6 prompt early in the installation process.

    2. change the setting in BIOS on IDE / ATA

    3. create a new "slipstreaming" installation disc drivers AHCI in the existing installation disc, see http://www.nliteos.com/index.html

    After the back if your BIOS is IDE / ATA

    I hope I am posting this on the forum,

    I went into computer management console & know that the primary partition - drive C system, boot, pagefile, active lists, dump incident & main partition in brackets but I don't know about the virtual memory paging file. No, there is some data on it. I've been saving the other partition - C drive on an external hard drive.

    Hello

    D: is not a partition backup of your machine.

    Acer has a time set up their machines to the way yours is:

    They had a C: drive for the operating system, a drive D: for data (music, movies, etc you would like to register and a recovery partition 'hidden' to reinstall the operating system and to make the recovery discs to do the same thing.)

    You can merge C: and D: as a whole, BUT save all data on D: first because it will be deleted when you merge.

  • 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.

  • XPS 8300 - steps to install boot hard drive replacement

    So my original Dell hard drive needs to be replaced because it has been send me errors and it is clearly a failure. If I get a new hard drive, I know how to get into the case and fasten the cables. Should I just turn on the computer with the system recovery disk I created previously? Do I need to 'Drivers and Utilties' disc comes with the computer? I've already invited Dell to the Windows 7 disc, but they never sent (4 years ago). I guess the system recovery disk should be sufficient. For any help or suggestion would be appreciated before I take the plunge.

    Hi Nively,

    Using this recovery disk, you will install the image of hard drive Dell of origin on the new hard drive. So, you will have all the drivers and original applications. Of course, you then need to uninstall all software that you don't want, like for example the MacAfee and install all the updates of Windows.

    Make sure the new drive has the same capacity or greater than your original drive.

    I installed Windows 7 Pro to Vista Home Prem Edition.  Back up my HARD drive with the included HP software.  Now I can't get my info on the HARD drive.  When I try to open the computer file backup says msvcr71.dll is missing.  How to install and where?

    Hi dezertdawg,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Msvcr71.dll errors are caused by situations that lead to the removal or corruption of the msvcr71 DLL file. In some cases, the msvcr71.dll errors might indicate a
    problem of registry, a virus or malware problem, or even a hardware failure.

    You can use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to ensure that the system files are intact and replace the file. Follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

    2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

  • Windows 7 and bios sees not the hard drive, but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files

    Please, I need pc

    Original title: windows 7 and bios does not see the hard drive. but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files... Ive a hp Pavilion, what to do?

    Check the BIOS for hard drive setting.

    Make sure that you do not connect the drive to a SATA/RAID port.

    Old IDE drives - check the jumper on the drive (use "Cable Select" as a starting point), the BIOS must also be set in legacy/compatibility/IDE mode. Note: If you currently use the AHCI mode, then switch to IDE mode may cause Windows to boot.

  • 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?
