How can I mount a drive hard macbook on an imac?

Hello

I have a start 2011 15 "macbook pro that upward and died suddenly last night. Some preliminary research suggests that it is probably the logic board. I expect to be able to get the files on the hard drive (it's already been replaced once!) on my iMac. Both were under OS 10.8.4. The hard drive I use in the laptop is a 500 GB Seagate portable thin SSHD. I took out the hard drive and used a SATA Adapter USB to connect it to the iMac but I get the following error: "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer."

Is it possible to recover these files or am I stuck with a giant, useless paper weight? No, I had not run a return upward in some time. No, unfortunately I don't have the money to get fixed logic board, if that is indeed the problem.

Thank you in advance!

Why not buy an external enclosure for this drive? Check if OWC (macsales.com) maybe you adapt to your player.

    How can I configure my drive hard thunderbolt from 8 TB to back up all my devices using a Wi - Fi connection?

    What you might hope better would be to use a Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter to connect to the router, but even if it works, it would be like a fire (Thunderbolt) connection to a water hose (Ethernet) is launching... and expect to get more water on the hose... more, the best that can be done without wire will be about half the speed of the Ethernet network.

    Sorry, this is no sense... a Thunderbolt drive is designed to connect directly to a Thunderbolt port on a computer, or in a Garland with other devices Thunderbolt.

    In other words, as soon as you break the chain of connection Thunderbolt, the speed drops to Ethernet or even low speed wireless.

  • How can I reformat my drive hard when I'm away from my windows vista disk?

    System backup and restore do not work. My windows update does not work.

    I have spyware and viruses that mess my computer. I have to reformat my hard drive and I can't find my windows freakin vista disk.

    So how do reformat you without disk of window vista, I need detailed instructions on how to do this.

    Without an OS disk, Vista or otherwise reformat will not improve your
    situation. You have options that...
     
    a. you can use the integrated recovery of your PC system (if it has one). Often
    It's accessible by repeatedly pressing F12 during restart (you may machine)
    be different). Do not forget to copy on critical files before you implement a
    recovery, or one of the following options...
    b. you can contact your PC manufacturer and ask a set of Vista restore disks to
    as your system to its original state. There may be charges for
    This service.
    c. you can buy a new set of installation of Windows 7.

  • How can I erase the drive hard when I can't read the screen of the monitor?

    I need to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows xp but I can not "cmd" promp because I can't read the monitor

    What do you mean that you can not read the monitor? Is the black screen or it seems weird when you start the operating system? And why do you need command prompt to reinstall an operating system?

    You need not be inside an operating system to reinstall.

    1. Insert the installation disc and turn on your computer
    2 watch it down or up for orders of F access the BIOS (usually F2) or the Startup Manager (usually F12)
    3 power on the system again, then press the button once Startup Manager as a couple at the time wherever you turn on the computer.
    4. Select the CD/DVD drive as the boot device
    5. a screen will come in saying to press a key to boot from CD (so press a key) and the installation will begin.

    If you don't have a Boot Manager, then you must start in the BIOS or Setup and move the CD/DVD drive up to make the first boot device.

  • How can I know which drive hard connection will fit in my XPS 400?

    Hello. I'm looking for more space and more speed from 400 XPS under Vista 32 bit.   Because I have a Pentium D 2800 core duo and 4 GB of ram, it seems to me that the last reasonable upgrade is a bigger drive.

    It currently has a WD 160 GB with 8 MB buffer.  My wife says that it's slow.

    In addition, the ones I see on Tiger direct shows SATA 300. Is it the same as normal Sata?    All are sata drives compatible with the specification xps 400?

    Option A): Western Digital Caviar SE16 640 GB hard drive - 7200 RPM, 16 MB, SATA-300, OE. $80.

     

    Option B):Hitachi sister 7 K 1000 1000 GB hard drive - 7200 RPM, 32 MB, Serial ATA-300, OEM.  $110 after rebate.

    1 TB disks seem to offer with 32 MB.  The 640 GB has only a case of 16 MB.   Assuming 640 GB is enough space, is it better to get the 16 MB buffer or is it useful to switch to a memory size 32 MB buffer? I get a pop in performance?

    Thank you!!

  • T61p how can I back up my hard drive

    <->Hello

    My laptop out of no where would not turn on and exposes the 1 long beep and 2 short beeps with a white screen. He is 5 years old and started to act a little, so I had to replace anyway, but my question is how can I save my drive hard if I can't turn on your computer?

    I read somewhere there is some type of adapter under $ 10 that plugs directly into the hard drive and then I can plug in my desktop computer... anyone know if this is true and this which is called the cord I need? Or how I could do to get my files on my hard drive?

    Thank you.

    Note of the moderator; subject published

    Will need you a 2.5 "USB to SATA external enclosure. You can buy some fees at most computer stores, for example the selection to computers Canada. 2 USB works perfectly although you can spend a little more for the newer and more fast USB 3 which will be on your new computer.

    Once you have moved the disc again case simply plug into a USB port as if it were a USB flash drive. The operating system will recognize it, install the necessary drivers and allow you to access the help of Windows Explorer or similar.

    (Note that this assumes that you does not have a hard drive on the old disk T61p password.)

  • When I replaced a hard drive, I wanted the same drive letter, but he wants me to take another. How can I assign the drive letter, I replaced?

    When I replaced a hard drive, I wanted the same drive letter, but he wants me to take another. How can I assign the drive letter, that I replaced. The letter is now used by another device?

    Open disk management, find the drive using the drive letter you want to use, change the drive letter of this to 'Z', find the new drive, change the drive letter that you want, and then change the drive letter of the drive you have labeled it 'Z' to a drive letter of your taste.

    Hi Theo,.

    HARD drive is mounted on your machine fest, and it is not easy to change. First you have to remove the keyboard, then view and top of page coverage too. If you want to do it yourself, be careful. If you do something wrong, it can be very expensive.

    It is not easy to say which is the limit of the HARD drive, but I'm sure you can use 10 GB with no problems. Try to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Perhaps, they can give you specific information.

  • Mounting my drive hard exFAT fails more than 70% of the time in Windows XP.

    Mounting my drive hard exFAT fails more than 70% of the time in Windows XP.  I downloaded the Microsoft exFAT driver (Windows XP-KB985704 - x 86 - ENU.exe) and installed XP Service Pack 3.  However, when I turned the computer off and restart it, the disc will install.  I'm having this problem with several readers.  Looks like the player trying to get (new Windows hardware sound chimes when you plug in the drive).  Then rapidly thereafter dismantle it quickly sounded. When I take the car and plug it into my Mac, it is still rising.  Is it possible that I have to do something more to install the Microsoft exFAT driver?  The drive is made by G-technology.  I also tried to remove the disc before you turn off the computer and turn off the computer with the mounted drive yet.  Whatever it is, the reader is not recognized when I restart the computer.  I ran an on the disks and sometimes Apple disk utility, I get the message that the reader has a cluster to run repair disk.  After that, the player either go up or not.  There is no virus on the Windows computer.  The operating system is a novelty.  I use the system only to run AVID.   No other software is on the computer other than what came with it.  The computer is a HP 8600 workstation.  I mount the drive through a port firewire 400 on the computer using firewire 400 to 800 cable G technology.

    Hi motionpicturedirector,

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium. How can I get this drive?

    I have an Acer Aspire 5610 and my hard drive died.  I need to reinstall windows, but have no disk.  I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium.  How can I get this drive?  Acer sells not more the disc for this model.

    Hello

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    As Acer does not have them, you have to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    No you haven't, how it was labeled in the old pc is irrelevant, just install you it as slave on your PC drive, depends on the question of if you need to change the jumper on the drive. Some PC manufacturers require the rider to be set as "cable select" others as "slave" (unless of course, it's a sata drive that requires no jumpers)
