Help to new primary hard drive sounds: HP Pavilion 6620f PC

I'm a non-technical guy who just replaced the main OEM 1 TB drive with a VelociRaptor 300 GB 10000 RPM hard drive. The installation went well, thanks to the fantastic instructions of the manual of HP and it works fine. Hard Disk Sentinel (free version) tells me that his condition is "perfect."

Here's my question:

  • the new drive is intermittent but constant and subtle sounds and I don't remember hear them before.
  • Is there a problem or is it only a function of another type of hard drive?

For any help or suggestion accepted with gratitude! I hope that I worry about anything, but do not have the technical expertise or experience to know!

Thank you

Linda

Hi Linda,.

Hard disks have different acoustic characteristics according to the manufacturers (and in overall models from the same manufacturer).  In addition, you went with a 1 TB of HARD drive that probably have a rotational speed of 5400 RPM on a faster drive.  If you are hearing just weak 'rattling', I think it's perfectly normal and given the utility disk HARD sees no problem with the drive, I would say that everything is fine.

Best regards

  • cooking of the primary hard drive files

    I'm tring to back up all my files, but only my recovery files are back up. When I click Change backup settings, I noticed two hard drives listed. The main hard drive and the hard drive recovery. The hard drive recovery is the only one that I can select and deselect. The main hard drive is already enabled and cannot be deselected, yet when I save files and the custom of primary hard drive then upward. Is it possible I can open the hard drive so that I can save? On the way back up there is a message that says that Shadow backup is in progress. That this has something to do with the fact that the basic motivation is the watch that it is selected but are let me uncheck it? Thanks for any help you can give me.

  • How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

    How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

    Keep all the files on external hard drive image?  Nothing else and no pictures on the desktop?

    Keep all image files both places?

    What is the best way to go through thousands of images in the Organizer to identify and place them in files?

    Once I've placed a file, I just leave it in the entire catalog or a way indicate to me that it has been sorted?

    As overwhelming, any tips/shortcuts/schemes, you can offer are welcome!

    As I only have the version of the EP, here is some info on the organiser:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/how-to/use-elements-Organizer.html

    Independent of how this feature works, you want to have your photos in one place and have a backup (second copy) somewhere else. All hard drives will not be successful at some point - some more early, some late - never trust to have your files in any safety devices if they are on a single disc. Once you have your sorted, it would be useful that you will organize/name/tag new photos immediately if the task is relatively short and simple. I copy my photos on my internal hard drive for my camera, take a quick look with preview to see who needs some changes and then decide where to put them - either drop them immediately after naming them or bring in an editing application and then file them away.

  • Transfer iTunes library to a new external hard drive.

    I did a few years back, but as for the double control procedure to ensure I would correctly.

    My iTunes music library is stored on an external hard drive. It's almost to capacity, if I want to transfer the files from current music on an external hard drive more.

    I don't want to "lose" my preferences iTunes, settings etc that I have playlists, ratings and other data.

    I understand that the first thing is physical copy music files to the new external hard drive.

    What is the procedure to then "point" to the new hard drive.

    Thank you.

    Copy the iTunes folder whole, not only the media, on the external drive, launch iTunes with the Option key, choose this library and keep a backup on a different drive of it.

  • Replace T420s with a new SSD HARD drive

    Hello

    I wonderd if it is possible to replace with a new SSD HARD drive, while putting the HARD drive in the Bay of Ultra-slot.

    And if so, what SSD model should I buy, and how do I transfer the operating system and the data for the SSD?

    This SSD model will be compatible?

    Corsair neutron Series 120 GB SSD Sata III MLC 2.5 inches Retail

    Thank you very much

    Guy

    Yes, what you are proposing is quite feasible. You will need an adapter Ultabay to organize your HARD drive in the Ultrabay housing on your system. These are available from Lenovo, but are relatively expensive. You can get a much less expensive (~ $ 10) a compatible version on eBay. It is not as well finished as the real issue, but it works well.

    The best way to transfer everything on your SSD is "clone" of your HARD disk using a software as Acronis True Image. If your current HARD drive is made by Western Digital or Seagate you can get a free copy of Acronis on their Web site. Put the SSD in the SATA drive Bay and the HARD disk in the UtlraBay. Set the T520 to start from the Ultrabay, install/run Acronis here and make a clone for the SSD. Then boot from the SSD and you'll be all set.

    With respect to the SSD, many people here have had good success with Crucial M4, 520 Intel and Samsung 830. I guess that Corsair works perfectly as well, but I didn't know all messages from people here who have done so.

    Before ordering a SSD confirm if the HARD drive is 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick. Then order the same thickness SSD. This way, you will be able to use the metal rails caddy and rubber who now hold your HARD drive to contain the SSD.

  • I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive

    I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive because the drop-down list in the Disk Management Console does not give me this option. I'm logged in as an administrator and running Windows XP.  The driver for the new hardware is not digitally signed because I can't initialize the disk.  So I can't get my new hardware to run.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the option "Initialize disk" in the Disk Management Console?

    Can you simply right-click and format everything first?  The drive must be formatted before use, make sure that you format NTFS.

    or just leave both of these boxes unchecked?

    Just select Quick format. You need not enable compression of files and folders.

  • Large hard drive on HP Pavilion M9361 elite.

    Hi all

    I have a HP Pavilion M9361 3 years old uk spec, the second hard drive failed the other day which was a Hitachi 500 GB, 3 GB / s, as he says failure of hard drive soon!

    I'm doing something wrong?

    Any help is always appreciated

    Thank you very much

    Steve,

    Hi Steve,.

    If the PC starts again without the new installed hard drive then the PC was non-RAID 0 and RAID 1 mode.

    It is possible that the Intel RAID controller trying to format and synchronize drives. This could take a while. You should see some messages. You see?

    If not, try the following.

    You may need to drop the RAID parring in the Intel RAID Utility. Don't forget that your data and your hard drive is backed up. You should see instructions when you start on how to access the Intel RAID Utility.  Usually the keys Ctrl + I keys will allow you to access the utility. That, without the new installed hard drive.

    Once you remove the parring RAID then you should be able to boot your PC.  If it works, then go ahead and install the new hard drive and see if the PC boots. If the PC does not until now with the new HD then attached the new HD is dead.
