HELP the T61p Swap hard drive Question - URGENT

My T61p 6459-CTO went black screen. 1 long beep - 2 short beeps, I guess that the MOBO issue problems with Nvidia Chipset on that I read.

So I wonder if I just take my hard drive out and put in it an operable T61p to close specifications would be that boot up and work like my old machine? Or I am a joke?

How close the specs should be? Questions you plan?
I need to get as forward as soon as possible.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Lee

Welcome to the forum!

You may need to day of a couple of drivers, but any T61/p or R61 will work fine as the drive.

Good luck.

    Hello

    At the moment, I have an internal hard drive to WD 2 TB green. So three discs is the minimum requirement, can I add a WD caviar black 1 TB or useless green for video editing, which means I should get WD caviar Black 2 x 1 TB?

    Thank you

    Bert

    Use a small enough disk for OS & programs, something like a Samsung 320 GB Spinpoint F4 and 2 WD Caviar black as D: and E: drives. Use the Green disk for backups.

  • swapping hard drives between 8115-PXI and PXI-8105 won't boot to the top

    I have a test system running Windows XP on the PXI-8105.  I have upgraded the full test for another project system and upgrade my existing systems; the upgrade works on Windows 7 and PXI-8115.  I have Windows 7 and the new test software of new hard drives that have been loaded/configured/tested on a PXI-8115, but I need to modernize the PXI-8105 with them.  It does not work.  Windows begins to start, but fails and trying over and over again.  In order to make the PXI-8105 offline to troubleshoot, I replaced it with the PXI-8115 and the old disk (WinXP).  It did not start, either.

    Here is a summary of my situation:

    • An old a PXI-8105 system running Windows XP

    • A new system has PXI - 8115 Win7 running

    • A hard drive (with Win7) since the PXI-8115 does not start on the PXI-8105

    • A hard drive (with WinXP) since the PXI-8105 does not start on the PXI-8115

    What is different between two controllers PXI that prevents me to swap hard drives?

    A technician with 'the knack' discovered a device driver conflict.  We have removed this driver and Windows was able to use a generic driver to start correctly.  Bob's my uncle.

  • M60: Question about the speed of HARD drive

    Hello

    does anyone know what RPM disk hard m60 turns to?

    That means Smart in the specification of HARD drive?

    Thank you very much
    Panos

    Panos Hi,

    In my view, that the hard drive in the M60 turn 4 200 RPM.

    S.M.A.R.T. means Self -Monitoring hasnalysis and Rinputs of technology. A system in which the hard drive can monitor his own health and report on potential failures before they occur.

    Hi out there,.

    I would like to move a group of new data warehouses vmdk using the cmdlet set-hard drive.

    How could I get the id of the task of the vcenter svmotion operation initiated by game-hard drive, so that I can use wait-job to wait to complete the svmotion operation to start the following?

    Hello

    Welcome to the VMware communities.

    The cmdlet Set - hard drive doen't have a parameter - RunAsync, as for example, the Move-VM cmdlet. This means that the each hard drive Set command must finish before the next command can begin. To this effect, you don't have to perform the synchronization of tasks yourself when you use the cmdlet Set-hard drive.

  • Low beginning on Satellite M40-145 after changing the 160 GB HARD drive

    Hello

    I own a Satellite M40-145 since 2005. After more than two years without any problem, two weeks ago the 80 GB hard drive to the original address has been damaged. So I had to replace it with a new, 160 GB (this replacement was made in a store because it's out of warranty).

    I used successfully on the new HARD drive recovery CD to install Windows XP and all the drivers (just as when it was new).
    I used Partition Magic to create a partition of D for data. Also, I installed Office 2003, Norton 360 and connected to the Internet.
    It worked quickly with only small problems than perhaps with little patience I could fix: as this Bluetooth hardware is not detected and the wireless switch began with the lights off even being in the position we (it worked with new just switching out-lit again). But suddenly, after only one day of use, Windows starts became very slow. It takes about 4-5 minutes until it is possible to use the laptop.

    Now, I tried many possibilities to solve the problem, but always ending on the same problem: I used the recovery CD again and try to use the computer with or without updates (I thought that maybe the problem was due to a bad update), with and without Internet access, etc.
    I also tried in vain the program Microsoft Bootvis to try to speed up the startup, etc.

    I even created an image with Acronis to only with XP and Office running fast, so that I could install it again and try new things.
    I also tried to clean the registry with various programs like CCleaner, TuneUp 2008
    Also the defrag JKDefrag and PageDefrag. But always returning to the same problem after a few days of good conduct.

    I don't know what else I could do. I wonder if maybe the new HD is damaged (although I test and no error or no damage was detected) or if the update BIOS might resolve this problem (I'm not and that's a big risk).

    Please, could someone help me?
    Thank you very much for your attention.
    Pablo

    In my view, that there is nothing wrong with the software or all drivers on you laptop.
    I think the key is the enormous size of the HARD drive.

    The difference between 80 and 160 GB is huge.

    To my knowledge, the BIOS supports a limit on the size of HARD drive and I really wonder why the 160 GB HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS.

    However, I think you should test a 100 GB, 120 GB HDD if the same question perhaps if poster using a HDD a size smaller.

    Hello Fiona-s,

    Thanks for posting in the Forum of Support HP!

    I'm afraid that the HARD drive has failed - the question is material one and all simply restore/reinstall will not solve it. Yes, you need to replace the HARD disk new or better with the SSD. SSDS are up to 10 times faster than hard drives:

    > http://ocz.com/consumer/ssd-guide/ssd-vs-hdd

    > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

    There are more than 100 manufacturers and sellers SSD, but personally, I would choose Samsung, Intel, Toshiba, or OCZ ones.

    Microsoft Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 have supported for SSDS. Vista and XP - no

    You will need a recovery media to restore the windows once you have installed the new SSD or HARD disk.

    You can get possible by contacting HP Support. Here's how:

  • Cursor flashing at the start of the system and hard drive not working do not on the other computer

    Original title: I need help with my Hardrive

    Recently I had problems with a hard disk of computers. So I'm going to give guys the full story, I fell on this computer, it's actually my mums computer and it had a blue screen at startup error. I'm sorry, but I don't remember that the error was called on the top of my head, basiclly I quikly searched online and alll they say should use fixboot. So I did and the computer booted Windows XP very well. So the next day, when I was starting the machine (just to let you know, it would be the first start since I used fixboot, other than the right after that, I don't know if it would make a difference).

    In any case, while trying to start, there was just a slider, or as underscore that retain just flashing in top left corner. I thought that maybe I should reinstall windows on another partition so my files would be safe. I did it, the installation program had no problem with it, but when I booted up I got the same line of flashing underscore / cursor in the upper left corner.

    I thought that maybe I should back up the hard drive using my other computer so I tried to plug in the hardrive in my work computer and the hardrive started to heat up and as if it worked but any hardrive was getting into my computer, I refreshed it, started the computer upward once again, nothing.

    So my question is what is the problem with this hardrive and how I save? I'm ready to do anything, use the live CD, using another computer. I have precious moments of family on the hardrive.

    Thank you guys

    Hi Joemost,

    As you have important data on the hard drive. We recommend that you contact the vendor of hard drive to diagnose hard drive or visit the nearest tech store to save your data.

    There are chances that the boot files are missing on the computer and also you could have not connected the hard drive as a slave when you connected to the other computer. Once you have saved the data, you can repair the existing windows and check if it starts successfully.

    Try these steps to repair install Windows XP:
    a. start the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the boot order in the BIOS OF THE system for the CD starts before the hard drive.
    b. on the "Welcome" screen, press ENTER to start the installation of Windows.
    c. accept the license agreement and Windows will search for existing installations of Windows.
    d. Select the XP installation you want to repair in the list, press R to start the repair.
    e. the installation program copies the necessary files to the hard disk and restart.  Do not press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will continue as if it were a clean install, but your applications and settings are preserved.
    f. when the installation is complete, check if Windows starts correctly.

  • Authentication of computers 2 after swapping hard drives

    My processor of the computer crashed while I bought 2 genuine 2 retailers refurbished Dell computers.  I confirmed the authentication with Dell.  A computer was XP Pro and the other had Windows 7 with 7 offices to help retailers OEM licenses.  They both have been authenticated by SM.  After bringing home PC, I swapped hard drives.  How (if possible) I authenticate these while MS recognizes and updates?

    What you did is not possible. Windows and Office OEM versions live and die on the computer on which they are first installed. OEM licenses are not transferable.

  • Request help second addition, internal hard drive [HP Pavilion Elite e9290f]

    Hello

    Quick question here. I am a music producer and you can always use a ton of extra space as some of my projects are 17 to 20 GB in size. My HP e9290f comes with a stock of 1 TB Seagate (I think) internal hard drive. I intend to add this DeckStar HGST hard 4 TB (7200 RPM)

    However, I am not sure, if this drive is compatible with my computer. I talked about the upgrade & maintenance manual but inside, he tells me only how to replace the current internal hard drive. The addition of this amount of space external hard drive is not an option since all my ports are used by external hard drive! Can anyone shed light on what tools I need exactly to connect this HD extra 4TB? I would appreciate your answers, because time is of the essence

    Hello

    I have not tested a HDD 4 TB on the motherboard of truckee. In theory, it should work as a data reader set shaped like a GPT disk.

    Another option if you don't want to take the risk is to install two hard drives of 2 TB. The one in the location empty in the cage from the hard drive and another in the optical drive Bay (if open) second.  You will need one 3.5 "to 5.25" adapter if you use the optical Bay.

    Check on the return policy for the 4 TB harddrive and see if your can return/exchange it if it doesn't work.  Kit retail for Hitachi 4TB has an optional driver if the motherboard of your PC will not format the drive completely outside up to 4 TB.

    Thank you

    Not in the way you probably do. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See Page 50. Unlike the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv7, Pavilion 17 has that a single hard drive Bay. The only way to add a second hard drive is to remove the DVD (optical drive) and insert a DVD to the hard drive bay adapter. The manual shows how to remove the DVD player and you can buy the adapter at amazon.com or jacobsparts.com. Note that this is a 9.5 mm thick disc, not a 12.7 mm. Both types are available. I do not recommend the adapter DVD player solution because you lose the use of the optical drive, and also because the interface of optical drive is usually not as fast as the main hard drive interface. Always fast enough for simple storage and you can run a video of her, but you do not want to edit the video of this disc, for example.

    https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

    If you decide to go the route of adapter DVD I would buy a large capacity 5400 RPM SATA 2.5 inches wide and drive hard thickness 9.5 mm. No sense in buying a reader more expensive high-performance.

  • Is it possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?

    I wonder if it is possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?

    If 'yes', I guess I have to go for a SATA SSD if there is. But I have to worry about other specs?

    If 'Yes'... what could be.

    I googled my question but no answers... so I ty Wizzards :-) Forum

    @Lord_Nikon

    In fact, this is not true. As long as he uses a large SSD enough it will be able to use the recovery media. I suggest using a SSD of 256 or 512 GB if budgeted for the upgrade...

    He doesn't have to make a Windows 7 installation USB drive and use the activation key license on the certificate of authenticity from the PC Windows to perform a cleanup to install.

    One of them should be on your PC. The Prodct key is what is needed for installation and activation online.

  • Windows 7 will not activate with the OEM key, after the failure of HARD drive.

    Hello

    I was recently asked to repair my brother DELL laptop.  The HARD drive failed and the system unusable.  I replaced the HARD drive and installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 (earlier version of windows) from my own installation media.  The recovery partition had survived the failure of HARD drive, I would have just cloned that and used, but this was not an option in this case.

    The problem that I am experiencing, is that windows don't will not activate, saying that the key is not valid.  I was told that installing Windows 7 media would work with a retail or an OEM key, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  The key OEM I use, is from the computer it came from originally, and the only material change is the new HARD disk.

    I try to avoid ordering an OEM Dell installation CD, as which costs money (I already have my own installation CD) and takes time (why do they have them available for download?).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    you use an OEM SLP key that only works with the manufacturers recovery media.

    change the product key to that on computers of COA
    Click Start, type slui3, press ENTER.

    Additional information:

    Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

    OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

    COA SLP: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)
