  Hello

  As far as I know the laptop supports the disk HARD 2.5 SATA.
  I think you could use a SATA SSD drive. Usually some SSDS require the firmware update but this should be provided by the manufacturers of SSD drives.

• Change hard drive - how do I reinstall Windows copy on the old drive?

  I intend to change my old hard drive to the laptop with a new one. Windows Vista comes with the old drive, how can I move to the new? Copy + paste does not work completely. Thank you!

  Hello

  There are different ways to do

  hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk

  Search for information on this subject on their Web site

  If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

  read the information below

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

  or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

  link below is an example of this:

  http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

  also to put your machine how you bought:

  1. that vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

  You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new hard drive

  ask the manufacturer of the machine how

  2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• How can I change hard drive icon images?

  I have a strange problem that has just occurred in Windows 7.

  I have several hard drives internal and 1 external hard drive.  The external hard drive has always had its own unique icon and internal hard drives all have the same icon image.

  But somehow, the external drive now has an image of the icon of an internal hard drive, and my biggest drive, a HD 1.5 TB, shows the icon used previously by the external hard drive.

  I can't understand why this happened, or how to redefine the way it was.  Don't pose any problem of performance, its just confusing because I saw this image external drive so long I'll automatically for the picture if my computer or Explorer and now that means that I often select the wrong drive.

  I click on properties > customize and select change image folder, then select a hard drive icon I want for each player, but he never changes the icon.  And I'm pointing to an appropriate *.ico icon image file.

  Anyone has any ideas on this issue?

  Thank you.

  Move the Autorun.inf file and the Mxoicon6.ico file on your external hard drive, and restart the computer. Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience

• 7 Windows 7 MCE has continued to record after changing hard drives

  Tuners work;  I can watch live TV with them.  Press Kit and messages error, says the save fails.  I need help with a problem.

  I used this setup for about two years.  Never a problem with registration.  Recently had to replace the hard drives.  After installation and Windows Home Server restore everything worked.  On a couple of days later I started having missing records. I am at a loss on how to proceed.
  When you save to?
   
  can you go into the settings and change the save location (even in a new folder
  on the same drive) for a few days and see if the problem is resolved?

• How clone a HARD drive and then use the clone with VMware (as well as Windows works!)?

  I have a system where Windows 7 is installed, and I'm doing a clone of her image of HARD drive, I then want to use in my main with VMware PC, so that I can start Windows 7 at the cloned disk.

  I used Ultimate Boot CD v5.1.1 with which HDD I wanted to clone, and I cloned using EaseUs Disk Copy, which comes with Ultimate Boot CD. The source HARD drive was 250 GB in size which had 3 partitions, while the USB HDD I have attached to the system, which was supposed to be the disk of destination/clone, was 320 GB in size. I chose to create a replica, exact and up to 250 GB of data (partitions, etc.) has been copied exactly, and the rest of space was not allocated. I have now connected this USB HDD to my main PC, shot to the top of VMware Workstation 8 and defined a new Virtual Machine and chose to boot from the USB HDD.

  The result is that when Windows starts (from the cloned HDD inside VMware), I get the blue screen error until I get to the login screen.

  How can I change my methodology so that Windows starts even on the clone? I can change the tools I use, etc.

  You can use the usb drive is
  you only need to patch the system a little registry
  to do this, you start the virtual machine with the usb drive in a restore win7 CD, and then follow the instructions I posted here
  http://sanbarrow.com/p2v2008r2.html

  Patching - easy Variant

  This procedure is used when otherwise the VM would start in a kind of bluescreen 7B.
  This means that VMware is the target and that you configure the computer virtual with VirtualHardware type 7.
  It applies only if the virtual disk is configured like this
  scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068".
  scsi0:0. FileName = "imported.vmdk".

  On the platform target start the virtual machine, newly created in the Windows 7 recovery CD.
  After the initialization is complete, click CMD and run regedit.
  Select HKLM, then Menu > file > load hive.
  Navigate to the Windows directory on the virtualdisk > system32\config and select the file SYSTEM.
  When asked for a name enter p2v.
  Then find the key

  HKLM\p2v\ControlSet001\services\LSI_SAS

  and the startup type of the REG_DWORD value 0
  Select HKLM\p2v, and then click Menu > file > unload hive.
  You can now close regedit and restart.
  The next time you start, you can start in the 2008 R2 system. He should find the drivers and probably need to reboot when finished.

  first mark a set of recovery media to start, program, thinkvantage, create recovery media. After having done this, then make a backup of your system using rescue and recovery software and then burn the backup to DVD or store it on an external hard drive.

  Now install the new hard drive, then restore the partition recovery and BONE using disks 3 recovery media that you have created, insert disk boot disks 1 and follow invites it. After you install the new copy of the OS with the drivers, you can recharge your backup from rescue and recovery backups that you burn to DVD or stored on the external hard drive.

• After changing hard drives, I get an error message that says: I need a full version disc windows genuine

  Original title: replacement hard drive configuration issue

  My hard drive crashed and I can't access anything anyone on this subject. I have a second hard drive that was used for additional storage only. I'm doing this second walk my master drive. After changing the cables, jumpers, the bios settings to show as the master I am using the Windows XP disk, I try to put in place. I get an error message that says: I need a full version disc windows genuine, not a disc to upgrade to. When I bought the computer it came with Windows ME preinstalled and there was no disk that came with the machine. When I went to XP apparently, I bought a version upgrade, not the full version. Is it possible to get a cd of microsoft, or download a file, which can help get this another hard drive mounting correctly?

  Thank you

• After changing hard drives on my Toshiba laptop, won't activate Windows Vista.

  I have two laptops Toshiba Satellite, I bought new. Due to hardware failures, I changed the hard drive of a laptop in the other. Everything works fine, but now the Panel / System states that I have two days until automatic activation. He also said whenever I try the option activate the invalid product key! The Microsoft product Authenticity sticker is more readable on the laptop where the hard drive was born. In question operating system is Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Help, please!

  original title: activation problem?

  You can buy a full license of Windows 7 and install it, but make sure that your computer meets the Windows 7 system requirements

  You need a qualification license Windows to upgrade; you don't when you moved the hard drive.

  You don't say what the problem is with the hard drive of the laptop you are trying to install this hard drive Vista preinstalled from the other laptop in.

  If you bought them at the same time, two thay have Vista Home Premium on them?

  Why not use this laptop you try to go there and his original hard drive, if still OK.

  If its hard drive is not OK > you can then put this "non-genuine" hard drive in it > reinstall the correct version of Vista that is pre-installed on the notebook computer > then purchase an upgrade to Windows 7 If you wanted to.

  One of the posters put this Information in place in the Forums:

  And most importantly make sure that Toshiba has Windows 7 drivers available for your model laptop activate Windows 7 works correctly.

  See you soon.

• Change HARD drive can always use recovery disk to reinstall Windows?

  I have a HP dv7-4296nr, partition recovery and recovery disks. Now, I want to change the current HARD drive to the new HARD drive. But I wonderring after I change the HARD drive, can I use the restore disc I burned before reinstalling windows?

  Hello

  Yes you can.  Your existing set of recovery disks will not only install the operating system on the new hard drive, but will also reinstall all of the original software that came with your laptop as well as re - create the Partition D of recovery on the new drive.

  Kind regards

• How can I search for ALL photos on my hard drive, windows 8?

  I had windows xp and all I had to do was to go to research and select the photos and ALL photos on my computer would come. How can I do this with windows 8?

  If you open your hard drive in the file Explorer, you can use the wildcard character * to search for something as *.jpg to find all JPEG images.  Doing this would look like with that by typing in the search box:

  

  But you can find all the images, even if they are other types (.bmp or .png or .gif).  To do this, use the search toolbar that appears at the top.  Use the type menu and tell him you want to search for all images.  It is quite similar to XP, except you get more choice.

  

• Change HARD drive on Satellite L300 - Windows Vista need

  Hi all

  My laptop hard drive is completely dead and the repair option didn't work.
  I backed up all my data, etc., including the folder HDDRecovery and WinRE partition/folder.

  This is a laptop Toshiba L300, which I bought in the United Kingdom (from the Toshiba online store) and I now live in China. I visited the workshop of local support from Toshiba in China, but they were unable to provide any assistance that offer me a disk empty (usually overpriced).

  They said that they can not install anything because the model is different from those that are sold in China and the Windows Vista sticker is no more on the laptop (Vista sticker for a couple of years ago but I think it has never been a serial number).

  Anyway, I didn't buy their hard drive and I didn't really get the original hard drive since that I didn't, and I decided to buy a hard drive from another brand for myself.

  My question is: is it possible to install the Windows Vista (which I've already paid anyway) in my new hard drive? I don't know if it's relevant, but I will emphasize here that I saved my folder HDDRecovery both WinRE partition/folder. I'm not ready to re - buy Windows or buy the top-selling Toshiba Recovery disk. My plan is to install a Linux OS if Windows is no longer an option.

  I could give you all the details of model and the order if necessary.

  Thank you
  Georgios

  > is there a way to install Windows Vista (which I've already paid anyway) in my new hard drive?
  Yes, but you can do so via the original recovery DVD only.
  Saved on external HARD drive recovery image is useless now. I put t understand why you didn t created recovery disk according to the instructions of Toshiba.

  If you don t want to get Toshiba disc I recommend you to install the clean version of Win7. Your model of laptop is fully supported for Win7 and it works perfectly on your machne. I ve installed long ago on friends L300.

  Linux is also good alternative.

  It's your decision.
