Hard drives can be switched?

I just bought a new Pavilion p6 2376PC with a card mother Pegatron AAHD2-HY (HOLLY2) and the computer itself works very well I'm not at all happy with Win8.I have also an old P6310yPC of flag running Win7 with a card mother Pegatron M2N78 - LA Violet6 who has malfunctioned. Both cards have the same processor and memory. The only real difference is the embedded video.

I would like to know if it is possible to replace the Win8 HDD with HDD Win7? Are there real differences between the two mothers who cause the Win7 disk not work correctly?

For any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

There may be several reasons why it won't work, but most would be the OEM Windows license does not.  There is the problem that many face on the drivers for all the hardware.  I've given people complain about Windows 8 and wanting to come back not Windows 7, but you really try some of these tips: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33642_7-57496506-292/how-to-get-the-start-menu-back-in-windows-8/

  • Change HARD drive can always use recovery disk to reinstall Windows?

    I have a HP dv7-4296nr, partition recovery and recovery disks. Now, I want to change the current HARD drive to the new HARD drive. But I wonderring after I change the HARD drive, can I use the restore disc I burned before reinstalling windows?

    Hello

    Yes you can.  Your existing set of recovery disks will not only install the operating system on the new hard drive, but will also reinstall all of the original software that came with your laptop as well as re - create the Partition D of recovery on the new drive.

  • I'm trying to run a program back to 7. I know it is not possible, but anyone who has used dosbox? And if I load xp on an external hard drive can I have essentially two separate computers?

    How can I run a program back through windows 7? DOSbox? zinstall? Or loading of a xp via external hard drive? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    DOSbox or BACK (or XP or another 32-bit version of WIndows) on a virtual machine.

    An external hard drive can be used only if it is connected by SATA (not USB). In this case, it seems to be an internal drive.

    If you have Windows 7 Professional, you can use XP Mode. Otherwise, use VMWare Player http://www.vmware.com/products/player/, Virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org/ or Windows Virtual PC http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx to host your virtual machine.

  • HARD drive can be found on LX835-D3380

    Can anyone help? Went to switch pc on lx385-d3380 and all of a sudden, that is to say no drive found.

    Hello

    The HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS?
    Go to the BIOS by pressing F2. Usually the HARD drive should appear on the first page of the BIOS.
    If it is not listed, the HARD drive was not found by the BIOS... I suppose that because of HARD drive failure.

    In this case, the HARD drive should be replaced to solve the problem.

  • internal hard drives within the switching apparatus

    Switching of the internal hard drives in the machine. I have two internal hard drives, C and E of clarification and I replaced my C Seagate 360 with a TB Western Digital because of this hard disk failure false I bought, which I'm sure were a corporate scam to buy more stuff that is really unnecessary. My question is "how to pass these. My HP Pavilion Elite m9150f going in stupid mode on 3 to 5 times a year and I have to do a recovery and I found that doing the hard, it is happening in stupid mode in a very short time. I found is from the CD that it takes a little more, but the best way is to erase completely and reformat the hard drive and then do a clean install, so he prevents her from stupid mode for awhile, this one lasted 4 months but like you have probably understood it's time to do it again. However, as you know it takes 3 times as long to reformat TB as it does a 360 GB drive, so it's the root of my question. I have all my stuff on the E-Drive SG360 for backup, note here backup on this PC has never worked so I don't bother with the so-called machines back to top I just copy stuff I want to record on the E drive and make the ol' copy ' and paste to restore everything. Now because of the time it takes to reformat drive C TB I want to make the switch. Is it as simple as just their switching and pulling the PC with the recovery discs factory to perform RECOVERY and do my usual copy and paste of the Western Digital to now, E-Drive?

    Please someone with the know let me know

    Thank you very much, RickS

    Aparently, you can not RESPOND to your own message.

    No one answered so I went ahead and did it. Lost all learned but a lot on the partitioning of hard disks and all together, in addition to becoming the hard drive back to R & R until less than 6 minutes time to unplug the PC at the rear, turn 05:53, my best so far. but she is back to being usable was a day and a half.

    The answer to the question is when you put that there is nothing usable at all because the PC looking for the OS and boot any disk has. I had to start player, I chose so that I could erase and reformat the C drive and run the installation of the OS. Once he was done with that I had to choose again which drive start so I could erase and reformat the drive E then he would leave goes to the starting window when I turned it on.

    Simple answer is not a. Read above.

  • Help with hard drives and the "switch" statement

    All the

    I was wondering if you could please help? It's probably more to do with "powershell" than powercli but are... What I'm trying to achieve is the ability to create a function that runs through all my VM - counts the number of hard drives by VM - crosses EACH hard drive and gives me the ability of each of them. He then returns to a csv file (which iknow how to do). The segment below is pretty well what I want, but I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the amount of code! I tried using a foreach statement, but got stuck (PS - the maximum number of hard drives of our virtual machines can have is 5)

    I'm just using a switch statement, because that is what I "thought" answered the problem. However if there is a way I could get the same result without so much 'code' that would be ideal.

    Switch ($vm.harddisks.length) {}

    ($vm.harddisks.length - eq. 1) {

    ($obj |) Ajouter-Membre Noteproperty 'Disk 1' ($vm.harddisks [0] .capacitykb))

    }

    ($vm.harddisks.length - eq 2) {

    ($obj |) Ajouter-Membre Noteproperty 'Disk 1' ($vm.harddisks [0] .capacitykb))

    ($obj |) (Add - Member Noteproperty "Hard Disk 2" ($vm.harddisks [1] .capacitykb))

    }

    ($vm.harddisks.length - eq 3) {

    }

    Try something like this

    $vm. Hard drives | %{

    $i ++

  • Satellite Pro M70 - what HARD drive can you recommend?

    I have Satellite Pro M70 and I have a 60GB HDD that I see what it s SATA 8 MB of buffer memory. The processor it s 1.73 GHz. I see that there is the Samsung typical 160 GB and the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 160 GB at the same price, which is better?

    And for only $ 11 more there's a Scorpio blue Western digital 320 with even 8 MB buffer than other 2. But I don t think so 320, that's a lot for Satellite Pro M70, and I have an external drive 2.5 "250 GB, data with this is not problem.

    What the best solution for this laptop? I don t want to burn now the phone LOL.

    Thank you

    Hello

    If your laptop is already equipped with SATA interface, you can use each HDD with SATA1 or SATA2 port on the new SATA interface there is no limit on the old standard IDE

    It s your choice what HARD drive you buy because I put t know your needs, but in my opinion it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive. All hard drives are similar and there is no significant difference (performance).
    I made good experiences with Western Digital and Hitachi hard drives.

    By the way: you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 rpm or 5400.rpm. Latter is faster but requires more power. In my opinion, this is useful if you often work with large files.

  • Satellite M30 - what compatible HARD drive can I use?

    Hello

    My Satellite M30 hard drive crashed (after 3 years of intensive use). I would like to replace it, but I don't know which drive is suitable (SATA, ATA 6... etc). The original for this computer hard disk is the MK6021GAP.

    Can someone hep me on this subject? By the way, is - it complicated to replace the hard drive on this computer?

    Thank you

    Use the advanced search of this forum and you will get several results with different threads on the same topic.
    The replacement is not difficult. At the bottom f the unit, you will find a HARD drive Bay. Armand, remove the cover and cut the shape of the disk of the controller. But be careful.

  • Tecra S1 - size HARD drive can I use

    Hello

    I have a Tecra S1 and looking to upgrade the hard drive because it is only the 30 GB model.
    I found the HDD compatible in terms of size, but my question was if there was a restriction on the ability of the HARD drive, or I can go to any size I want?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks Chris

    Hello

    AFAIK the Tecra is supported by the IDE HDD controller and you have the 2.5 IDE HARD drive.
    I guess that the IDE controller supports ATA-100 standard and therefore the LBA48bit would be too pressed and this means that you can use hard disks of more than 120 GB.

    But if the ATA-5 controller / LBA28bit ATA/66 only then would be sustained and in this case, you can only use the 120 GB HARD drive as a larger size.
