HP 8560p laptop: hp 8560p's caddy drive upgrade hard hot swappable

Upgrade of removable hard drive Bay is hot swappable so that I can without damaging it remove the optical drive Bay and insert the caddy upgrade hard drive, while the unit is running, i.e. without turning it off.

It is theoretically but I hesitate. Why do you need to do this? I could check and see if the DVD drive appears in the removable hardware when you click on this icon in the lower right

If it shows up here so you can stop it and I would be sure that it is OK in this case.

  • Caddy drive HARD Lenovo B50-80 problem

    I bought an SSD in order to exchange it and original drive HARD laptop but when I connect the box HARD drive, bios does not recognize the original HHD in the caddy. Does anyone know why it can summer happening?

    There is a problem with the help of an SSD / HARD drive in some laptops optical Bay (no brand is safe) and it seems to point to the chipset expecting to see a STRANGE on this port and only an ODD.

    When you install or use any other player, he is unable to access the way it waits and causes the machine to hold on to this moment here.

    This is the best that I was able to get outside of the redesign of the interface to conform to a SATA plug-and-play and hot plug specification.

    My advice to those who seek to replace the STRANGE with an SSD or a drive is to contact the manufacture, talk with their tech line and see if it has been done successfully with your model in the past and what it takes to get there.

    Good luck.

  • I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp.

    I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp. Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?  I would that all is the same except the size of your hard drive will be increased.

    Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?

    Yes.

    You use the disk cloning software.  In some cases, a new player may even be bundled with software that will do this for you.

    Unless your laptop has a second drive Bay (most don't), you will also need an external hard drive enclosure.  As a general rule, these connect via the USB port, although if your laptop has a connector FireWire or eSATA you can also use these interfaces.

    You must select your external enclosure based on 3 criteria: the type of connection to the laptop. the physical size of the disc (2 1/2 inches for computer laptop drives); and player interface (determined by the connection of the internal drive of your laptop). For example only (no recommendation), if you wanted an enclosure for a 2.5 IDE drive "which connects using USB 2.0, Newegg has 17 products

    The (slightly) more expensive items among the software, you will need.  For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602 this particular House will work with SATA or IDE drives.

    If you buy an external enclosure that doesn't include cloning software, the software may be available for free from the manufacturer of the new 320 GB drive (e.g., http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list):

    You say that you have started from the XP CD, but something is wrong with that
    you do. Just boot from the CD and follow the prompts for a
    clean install. A new installation by formatting the

    Hello

    It depends on the type of license you have, as to whether you can transfer it or not.

    Pre-installed Licenses OEM (HP, Acer, etc.) and the Microsoft System Builder OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they are installed on and channels of license when this machine dies.

    OEM licenses are not transferable.

    If you have purchased your own license for sale retail of Windows and installed yourself, yes you can transfer it to another computer.

    Retail licenses are transferable.

    Just be sure that you have only installed on one machine at a time.

    A single license means one Installation.

    And if it is retail and transfer you, in all likelihood will have to reinstall the operating system, as this disc hard the 'old' aura card mother drivers installed, which will cause starting problems.

    Information on what you need the driver can be useful, but--
    All the drivers for your card mother books must be downloaded from the Acer site.
    These should include drivers for the cards that use a PCI slot. If not then you would

  • Satellite Pro M10 - the (original) display driver upgrade?

    Hello

    is it possible to upgrade my display driver on my laptop M10 with the original driver? I'm using the latest drivers nVidia Toshiba (36,48) but NVIDEA has already more recent upgrades, but it will not recognize the my graphic card and refer to the use of Toshiba drivers.

    Any way to install the original NVIDIA driver instead of the Toshiba driver?

    Thanks for the help
    Andreas

    Hello Andreas

    I put really don't know if it is possible to install the original NVIDIA driver but it is recommended to use the driver provided by Toshiba. The reason is very simple. This kind of restriction is done to save the cell damage equipment. As you know the cooling of the hardware components is not so easy and.

    Because of this, he cannot allow that this graphics card works with maximum power. In this case, it produces a lot of heat and it may happen that the card may be damaged or the laptop turns off due to overheating. If there is a message that the card is not there it's just a mechanism of protection, and there is no way that the hardware may be damaged. Believe me the repair costs are very high.

    Good luck!

  • Satellitre Pro 2100 hard drive upgrade

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite Pro 2100 2 years with an internal 30 GB hard drive.

    I would like to replace the hard diskwith a 60 GB model.

    Is this possible and if yes, what models can be used (can I do it myself)?

    Stefan

    Hi Stefan

    In the lower corner of your laptop, there is the cover of the HARD drive and disc HARD exchange is not complicated. I'm sure that 60 GB HARD drive can be built in.

    In my opinion you should take some information about it. You can contact the Service partner in your country or it is also possible to find a supplier of HARD drive on the net. They have information specific to which HARD drive fits a certain model of laptop.

  • Satellite A200-1If - drive external HARD after a while is "unknown device".

    Hello!

    I have such a problem: I work with my external case alu Toshiba 3.5 HDD 500 GB and after awhile of copy of the files in the laptop it disappears and appears this luckily device recognized.
    Can it be caused by not enough power in the USB port?

    THX for any help or the workaround

    Hello

    Yes, this may be caused by the fact, there is not enough power provided by the USB port. first of all, note that external USB hard drives 3.5 inches are generally designed to be used with systems of office due to their higher power needs (this is also the reason that many need an external power supply of their own). my suggestion would be to buy a 2.5 inch drive external hard USB is designed to be used with laptops. Another reason that the hard drive may disappear when copying files, is that there may be a problem with the connection of the USB cable between the laptop and the external HARD drive. I suggest to check that both ends are connected properly and not put any pressure on the cables and keep them stable.

    I hope this helps you with your question

  • Satellite P100-332: Upgrade HARD drive and 4 GB of RAM

    Hello

    I'm new to the forum...
    Well, I want to change 2 things on my Toshiba Satellite P100-332

    1. I have 2 GB of RAM at 533 mhz and I saw on Everest, as well as on the information that I put up. 4 GB RAM 667 mhz. If I want to ask if theres no limitation about to use a special brand of RAM? Or can I use any laptop RAM to 667 mhz? I buy 2 DIMM 2 GB 667, to stay with 4 GB RAM 667 mhz.

    2 - my laptop came with a 4200 RPM ATA hard drive and I want to know if I can change my hard drive to another as one with 7200 RPM SATA as a http://www.pcvonline.com/productDetails.aspx?prodID=7434 and I have not seen yet if the Board supports, but does anyone know if I can put one like this?

    Hello

    (1) the Satellite P100-332 RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB and you can also use the modules of 667 Mhz because AFAIK the FSB supports 667 MHz also.
    But the fact is that Windows 32-bit (Vista and XP) would see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

    (2) the laptop supports the SATA HDD controller and this is why you must use a SATA HDD. But usually it s no matter if the HDD SATA supports the 7200 RPM. In my opinion, you should be able to use these 7200 RPM HARD drive.

    Good bye
