• How do clone you a hard drive on a P6770T

  Background: I have a P6770T Office, number of product XX204AV #ABA, OS: Windows 7 Home 64 bit service pack 1.

  Partitions: C: 685 GB D: 12.7 GB (recovery), Q: 0GO (MS Office 2010 protected).

  Question: I would like to add a second hard drive to the PC as a clone.   First of all, a second internal hard drive can be added (is there a location for the drive and a SATA cable port)?    Second, how do clone you a hard drive with the three partitions, as described above?    I need instructions for cooking book style because I'm a newbee.      Thank you.

  It is usually best to make a clone with an external drive. It makes no sense given the power (spinning). Seagate and WD offer similar programs, called 'DiskWizard '.

  What you'll need:

  (1) software cloning (I'll link Seagate) download the utility and download from this page user's Guide.

  (2) buy a 1 t Seagate drive (like your hard drive is a nominal 750Go).

  more than you will need:

  (3) Sata Drive enclosure includes ESata rail.

• Reformat Windows 7 hard drive for the next clean install Windows ISO 10

  This is in anticipation of the next clean install of Windows 10 ISO.

  It is understood that I need to move from Win 7 to win 10 first, before clean install. (Select MS verify the legitimacy)

  Question: How do I reformat my another computer on Windows 7 (Vista upgrade)?

  Note: Two computers are different: the first is a HP, the other is a gateway.

  ("Partitions" of hard drives may be different.)

  I don't know: if I can use the recovery made the first computer disc to reformat my second hard drive?  If this isn't the case, I'll be in trouble, because I don't know how to reformat my second computer.

  You need to use the means to reinstall that you can upgrade Windows Vista Setup to format the drive.

  The other system recovery media is likely to not work, but you can always try, but have appropriate reinstall media just in case.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

• Satellite Pro L50 - a: how to replace the memory, HARD drive and battery

  I just uploaded 2 new video from Youtube on the L50 - A. Satellite Pro

  The first is a tear down showing how to replace the memory, hard drive and battery (you can also clean the fan if it detects overheating).

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=IG0lW7t92bI

  BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

  WARNING - proceed at your own risk and don't forget static precautions!

  Hope they help and if you have any questions let me know.

  Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
  Be careful about this.

• How to get a manufactured HARD drive date?

  How to decode a serial number of the HARD drive to get the correct manufacturing date?

  I found some information, see the attachment below, but the HARD drive in question is SATA and serial number decodes to Feb 1997 which may not be correct.
  SN in question is 27MJFxxxx. Instructions below, 7 = 1997 - which would be 2007?

  Thanks for any help.

  How to encode a Toshiba hard drive serial number?

  Toshiba serial number (S/N) includes the date of manufacture. The first digit of the serial number indicates the month of manufacture and the 2nd digit is the year.

  Example:
  M Y x x x x x x x
  M = month
  Y = year

  Data for the month goes from 1, for January, by 9 in September, then X, Y and Z, for October, November and December.

  Examples:
  2 8 1 7 0 0 0 1
  2 = February
  8 = 1998

  3 0 5 4 4 3 0 6 T
  3 = March
  0 = 2000

  X 9 7 8 3 3 1 T
  X = October
  9 = 1999

  The remaining digits contain information about the plant and the production line, and some numbers are reserved for a continuously running serial number.

  Hello

  I googled a bit and there are a lot of people that suggests how to read a serial number, I have no idea if he of right, but for example if you have a serial number: X7TO234534, then the product data would be October 2007 (X 7)
  X = 10 = October, Y = November, Z = Dec
  The first number is the month and the second digit is one year.

  So in your case, the serial number 27MJFxxxx should mean Feb 2007

  However, these are only some gossip on the internet and who knows if it of good or bad

• How to connect two external HARD drive satellite and the same printer?

  Hello

  I have now two laptop Toshiba Equium.
  What is the best way to connect them so that they can access the same external hard drive and the same printer?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I guess the two laptops are in the same network; Home LAN or WLan. Right?
  I this case I recommend you connect HARD drive and printer to one of the portable satellite.

  Then you can share the HARD drive and the printer with other cell phones on the LAN.

  You could add the network permission to others, and in this case the other participants of the network would be able to share the printer and HARD drive.
