How t change the startup hard disk?

I upgraded my hard drive to a 500 GB to 2 TB Drive with a hard drive, copy of the program, thinking I could copy my files to the new drive.

Help. I need to start on my old HDD 500 GB.

You could add the second hard disk of 500 GB as a slave and copy your files on the hard disk of 2 TB if its startup. If its not bootable, try to load Windows on it and install the 500 GB drive as a slave and copy your files:

  • Portege A100: Change the new HARD disk in slave mode?

    Hello, I have a portege a100 laptop, I want to buy a Dvd for my laptop burner and one in mind, even if I need to put my hard drive in slave mode first, that the dvd drive is set as master.
    My hard drive model is MK1032GAX, could someone tell me that it is possible to do so, before buying the dvd burner to 100%.

    Hello

    To my knowledge it s is not possible. The technology of the laptop is different, and you can't compare it with the desktop PC.
    As far as I know, the settings are fixed and you cannot change it. I think that the HARD disk controller is set master and you need to buy a compatible CD/DVD player.
    Player settings are different and the Toshiba service partner can give you more details about compatible CD/DVD players.

For example, when I connected my Vivo X 5 in computing, it usually appeared Vivo (I) and the Sd Card (F). Then some time later, it auto-changed on the removable disk (I) drive removable (F). Regarding my from a friend, after she plug his USB drive in my computer, its name from Pendrive changed disk removable (J).

  • How to install the removable HARD disk in series Predator G

    I am able to remove the HARD drive bracket and see there are 4 metal poles with silent blocks.  I can't understand how to mount the HARD drive in the mount.

    Is there something Acer which shows or describes how to do this?  The plastic is flexible enough to make me able to force the sides apart, but then it can break...

    Thank you

    If you need to remove and insert a new HARD drive hot swap Bay, you will need to enlarge the 2 plastic strips on the sides of the HARD drive.

    If you can take a photo and post, maybe I will better understand your question.

  • Satellite P100-307 - is - I can change the internal HARD disk 500 GB model?

    Hello

    I am a beginner and I would trade my internal 200 GB of HARD drive against a 500 GB Samsung HDD. I have a Satellite P100-307.
    Is this possible at all?

    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Hello

    Theoretically, it should be possible to use 500 GB laptop HARD drive. He already has SATA interface and it would mean that there is no limit of capacity as on the old IDE interface.

    So, you can buy every 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface. It makes no difference if you buy A manufacturing or B. It of your choice!

  • Read the last sector of the virtual hard disk

    Hello

    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium VM inside VMWare Workstation image. I want to access the last sector of this Virtual Hard Drive. However, I do not within Windows 7 itself.

    Instead, I want to start this virtual system using a bootable Livecd. To this end, I can create an ISO using the Windows XP Installation CD and Bart PE Builder.

    Now my question is, how do I boot under VmWare Workstation Livecd Bootable using Bart PE created so that I can access the virtual hard disk.

    And also, once I started the new system, I want to read this last sector of the virtual hard disk. This is for testing purposes. I know, it could be done on a running system as well however, I want to be able to do this in VmWare Workstation.

    I searched the net for a solution. I came across the Disk Explorer utility, which is available here:

    www.Runtime.org/DiskExplorer.htm

    In my view, this will allow me to read the last sector and thus copy. It is however an expensive software. They have even a plugin developed to work with BartPE, which is available online here:

    http://www.Runtime.org/diskexplorer_for_ntfs.cab

    But we need to provide the license key in the .inf for this file to work.

    In any case, I know how to prepare the Windows Bootable Live CD using BartPE.

    You can try to temporarily adjust the Type of guest OS Linux or edit the .vmx to have these parameters/values or temporarily remove the USB controller.

  • How to change the letter on the external HARD disk

    My drive external hard was originally on drive F, and with that, I got all my music iTunes also. However, for some reason, my computer stopped recognizing the F drive; the following message appears when you try to open this drive:

    "The drive or network connection that designates the shortcut 'F Drive.ink' is not available. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and then try again. »

    The problem I have now is that the external hard drive is now the G disk and iTunes does not recognize the path (G:\iTunes), I say to use, for example, my music is not loading properly and that a fraction is playable.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Hello

    I would recommend to change the external drive (g) to F letter.
    Do you know how to do this?

    After the external HARD disk is connected, you need to access the disk management and you will see the HARD drive (unique partitions) and other readers.
    Then you must mark the external HARD disk and should change the letter F.

    Perhaps the letter F was reserved for another drive.
    In this case, you need to unlock the letter F by assigning another letter to the reader that uses the letter F.

    I copy everything in D: z: readers and I would exchange the disks for the following parameter:

  • How to change the default save to C: disk / d: /.

    I saw the article about how to change the default value.  I only did this and is installed by default on the D drive, but the computer still records in two drives and does not record on 'my documents', but saves just 'documents '.  When I click on the file I save it says it is registered in two places.  When I click on the two places, it shows that the default is now D: which is what I want.  I don't want for the file to be saved in two places.  Is there a way to save only on D: and eliminate the duplicate record on C: not safe if possible... help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    When you say c: documents and D:Documents, can provide you the full path you are viewing?

    The real essentials you need to know is that libraries are not records.  They are really just a quick search of several places.  Try this: right click on the document library and select Properties.  This will tell you where the library is looking.  Whenever you open the document library, it performs an instant analysis of these places and tells you what he found.  Is not additional copies files, it's just search results. If you delete something, you remove the one and only original, everywhere where it is.

    You might ask "well, what's the point of a library?  I'm glad you (perhaps) asked.  The reason is you have a lot of places.  Take me for example.  I have some movies on my hard drive.  I have more moves on an extra drive (they will all take place on the main drive).  In addition, my roommate has a few movies on his drive.  With a library, I have a library of videos that research on all drives and gives me a single view combined all our movies instantly.  Now I can see all my films in my library at the same time, no matter which disc they are on.
