• How to set up a hard drive for storage?

  I have an SSD that I installed windows and commonly used programs. I also have a HARD drive that I intend using storage and less programs commonly used. I see that I can right click on the hard drive in the computer, I have the ability to create libraries. Can I just that and then run, documents, music and videos on this drive? Or do I put the files named programs, Documents, music, ect on my new drive and choose to install and register these files?

• How to set up two hard drives (but not three)

  I just added a second hard drive (500 GB SATA).  It is currently empty.

  My first hard drive any currently-operating system (XP), programs (including PE4), multimedia files, scratch your files, etc.  The first hard disk is about 200 GB with only about 22 GB free.  There are about 70 GB of various video media on the first hard drive.

  I read a lot of stuff about the implementation of three or more hard drives (OS/programs on the media, on the other hand, scratch files on a third).

  But I only have two disks and will not get a third for this machine.

  What is the best thing (s) to pass to the second drive?  (Note that I would rather not move BONES).

  Besides everything that I should get to the second drive, is there a mileage by moving or by simply reinstalling PE4 on the second disc (assuming this is possible)?

  For the record, I'm not a guru of user or computer power.  I just went into the machine store and claimed a second drive.  I have no idea on RAID etc, but I guess they aren't any RAID or RAID 0 (don't know what I'm talking about).

  Thanks for all the ideas.

  Given your hardware, I would leave the OS (obviously) and all programs on your C:\ drive. I propose all the media project, files etc. to D:\, and assigning Scratch Disks even as project, keep on D:\ also. As to your swap file (virtual memory in Windows), I doubt that you would see good imporvement moving to D:\, but you might want to experiment with this. I would also like to experiment with it running with a defined size (about 2.5 x your physical RAM) and also let Windows manage dynamically. I create a project test for experiments and then do the same on this project with a clock at hand. You will probably find that there is little difference between the configurations, and if this is the case, then I would leave just the Page on C:\ file, where it is located now. Where people usually see a big difference it is with a RAID 0 two small, but very fast HDD or a smaller very fast HDD, just for the swap file. Even in this case, the increase in speed may be minimal and could not justify the cost of the addition, say a 10 000 rpm 160 GB SATAII HDD, just for that purpose.

  With this third HDD in the example of the harm, the media would go on that, but in your case, I would move to D:\. The idea is to spread as much of the workload, as it is possible, as much physical HARD drive, as you have.

  Also, by giving your programs and your operating system a little more "room for manoeuvre", will allow you to eliminate as many bottlenecks, you can.

  RAID is either configured via software or hardware. They are a method of combining disks HARD physical in tables. If you have not done this physically, and with the two HARD drives you have, there is no real reason to do, you don't have to worry about this. Suggestions of harm to RAID are to the highest speed (and probably a redundancy built in), in particular with HD media. However, in order to offer their full potential, you need matching 3 physical HDD, or 2 at least. Again, in an ideal world, you use a RAID controller card and does NOT go with a stripped software RAID.

  Good luck and you will not be sorry that you added the extra 500 GB. You should notice an increase in speed in many operations and probably more stability with the largest projects.

• How do I "Defrag" my hard drive - Dell XPS 8900?

  I heard that it is good to defragment your hard drive, especially for the ouv of flight that I use my machine for.

  But my machine has a SSD for powered by a normal hard disk - caching and normal defrag utility will not let you to this "hidden" traditional disc

  Thank you

  You specify the drive when you run defrag?

  Try to run the defragmentation from a CMD window. At the prompt, type first to:

  Defrag C: - one

  Press

  This will give a report on how fragmented the drive is. If you decide that he needs to defragment, typeRegeditdans;

  Defrag C:

  Press

  And you can type in defrag C: /? to see a list of all the "available switches" available for defragmentation.

• A few questions on password setting in BIOS HARD drive

  In the BIOS, theres a option to set passwords on hard drives

  Has anyone used this?

  How difficult is this? That you must enter a password each time you access the hard drive?

  Please explain

  If you use your laptop for private only and if there is no risk to you that someone else may have access to your data I put t recommend that you set the HARD drive password.

  It is very nice and good feature if you have sensitive data stored on your HARD drive and use your laptop in the company or take with you.

  All other information, you can pick up in the document of Toshiba.

• 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.

  + The message was edited: link has been removed ad channel may not +.

  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

  I have a number of readers of the previous Mac that can fit in this PowerMac G5, but I don't know what - if anything - is necessary to make them fit. Or guides, assistance would be appreciated.  Thank you!

  You need a 3.5-inch SATA drive. Concerning how to swap the drives you can use these instructions to fixit. You can skip step 4 that this plastic cover does not need to be removed. https://www.iFixit.com/Guide/Power+Mac+G5+hard+drive+replacement/1952

• 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.
