• HP Elite 7300: imminent hard drive failure

  Hello

  I have a desktop hp elite 7300 with windows 7

  I get the rather alarming message that my hard drive is about to fail.

  So I bought a new SSD.

  How can I move windows 7 to the new drive?

  Kind regards

  To have a upgrade kit, it is exactly what you need to buy. The second SSD purchase I made for one of my own systems was a upgrade kit in the future in mind. Once you have the kit that comes with the cable and the software, you are ready for the future updates for SSDS on other systems. Usually a major supplier of SSD has free cloning software available for download. It's just being customer friendly. Samsung and Corsair are like that.

  Paragon software and others sell SSDS cloning of the software applications that will do exactly what you need.  There are free applications that clones since the current for the SSD hard drive.

  You can pick up the usb converter cable to SATA to an online retailer or a local store for a price relatively low.

• Western Digital 1 TB My Book external hard drive on Vista 64 - Bit needs driver. Windows can't find it!

  Here's the deal. I bought a Western Digital 1 TB my book about 2 months ago. I plugged on my DELL XPS laptop running Vista 32 bit with no problems and managed to save all my files. Everything worked very well. Although this computer is damaged and sent to DELL for repair. Make the long story short, a replacement computer was sent to me. Now, I have a DELL studio XPS under Vista 64 bit and now the external hard drive is not recognized.

  I understand that Vista supposedly recognizes external drives and download the drivers when connected to the computer. Windows tries to find the driver but is unable to find and does not install. In Device Manager, the drive will appear as unknown device under other devices.

  I searched for an answer to my problem and posted on yahoo as well, but nothing useful that worked were found at the moment. When I do an automatic search for the driver, windows cannot find the software and refers me to the manufacturer of the device. Western Digital returns me to Microsoft.

  I tried all references to Western Digital troubleshooting, and as I said, this device works perfectly on the 32-bit system. I know that this has been a problem for many and would like to know if there is something I can do to get this device working once more. I don't want to reformat the drive, but if I do how can I if the Vista operating system can not find a driver?

  Thank you. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  I searched for the 64-bit operating system compatibility page and indicates the compatible reader.
  
  This is the exact drive I own: My Book Essential Edition 2.0 WDH1U10000 - disk hard - 1 TB - Hi-Speed USB

  The issue is clearly with WD, the 64-bit driver that they provide or the firmware for their unit

• HP Pavilion Elite HPE-140sc - HARD drive

  My PC always says that the HARD primary (Hitachi HDT721010SLA360) disc is "sick" and that he will probably die shortly.  I made recovery discs, but what HARD disc should I buy? Can I use any HARD drive?

  Buy hard drive that looks the most like what you have there now but not smaller

  You should do so as soon as possible to avoid loss of data.  You backup data on an external hard drive.

• Pavilion Elite Hi - 1280t hard drive problem

  When I do a control I have and go into the installation program which shows the new third sata hard drive I installed.  All say non-raid drive to the right.  It also has an option to create a raid volumn on the 0 of the solid state disk.  The new drive is not displayed in windows 7.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Do you mean h8 - 1280t instead of what you have published under the name of your PC product? There is no salvation - 1280t sold by HP...

  This seems to be your desktop CTO (configure to order). What was the original config? You have a pair of SSD?

  Type of computer in the search programs and files, select and click computer management in programs that appear above, and then select and then click Disk Management in the left pane of the tree. You should now have a view and the State of your hard drives installed in the Central upper and lower part of the computer management window.  Use the Windows Snipping Tool to save and post the image here.

  

  In windows you can right click on the drive on which is your new addition. That will invoke the options available for the new drive. You can create a simple or dynamic volume and format the drive among other options. Make sure you that you gave the reader a recognizable name so you do not wipe your operating system by mistake. (I know the name of the example is silly in terms of today ' hui)

• Pavilion Elite M9340f: Replacement hard drive

  Hard disk 750 MB Seagate (Baracuda 7200.11) is upward (lock or blue screen with one his jump).  Bought a new Seagate 1 TB (SATA) office drive to replace.  Recovery disks, format the new drive to 3/3 and then I get the error code 0 400 100 130000 1002 infamous x.  Says to contact HP.

  I think I need an OS disc.  However, I bought Vista with the machine but the OS disks have not been provided.  The software is on a patrician, on the failed drive, and I do not know the product key #.  Is there a way to save my OS or I have to buy new ones?  If Yes, I think I would upgrade to Windows 7.

  Hello

  If unallocated space is after the last partition and the last partition is the 'C' partition, then you can use disk management. If the last partition is HP tools or recovery then you can delete the partition by using Disk Management and then increase the size of the partition 'C '.

  BTW - VISTA does not support partition covering them.

• Pavilion HPE H8-1234: what hard drive to replace current for Pavilion H8-1234

  The hard drive I have now is HDS721010CLA630 SCSI Disk Device with 1 TB.  This is bad.

  I know its SATA 7200 rpw, NTFS but otherwise unknown and I'm not a computer geek. Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit

  I use Carbonite reflection WD 4 TB my book external hard drive and my current hard drive (going bad) is now imaged. I was told the new replacement hard drive should be similar, a little bigger is ok, but cannot change otherwise the card mother or any other pilots, summer, etc or the restore image will not work.

  What features of hard drive do I buy that resemble what is the system now? The new hard disk can be bigger (2 TB would be great), but most of another must be similar to the mirror image can be used to restore as well as Win 7 Pro and Outlook 7 configurations and all to a new internal hard drive.

  Western Digital, Seagate seem reliable, but I'm unable to understand other descriptions such as sata 3.0 vs 6.0, red, black, cache memory 64 MB instead of 32 MB whatever that means? What should I choose?

  Any thoughts on what kind of buy that is compatible with the motherboard and others on my system would be very welcome!

  Thank you very much!

  Hello.

  On descriptions of hard drives, HARD drive cache refers to the amount of data, the drive is able to get ready for treatment. Essentially the more Mo - better, but as Big_Dave says:

  «the performance between a cache 32 MB or 64 MB would be negligible unless your PC is running an interactive application of DB.»

  SATA is a computer bus interface that is a standard for connecting hard drives in the computer systems. There are three types that are retro-compatible and have different transfer rates - SATA I is 1.5 Gb/s, SATA II 3.0 Gb/s and SATA III is 6.0 GB/s.

  Regarding the colours of WD, each player has a build-in features specific which makes it good for different purposes. So according to what you are going to do the HARD drive, I recommend a different color.

  For example, WD Blue is a regular daily reader that is most commonly used for ordinary calculation, workloads and play of light and combined with SSD. He is quite able to run most of the games as well as many programs for editing or programming. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=S7uxm7

  WD Green is your energy-efficient drive that works cool, calm, and saves a lot of energy. It is designed for secondary storage and backups, and these characteristics allow it to be an excellent choice for quiet versions of backup or archiving. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=iTh9tK

  WD Black is the record of performance of the consumer of WD. It is the fastest among them and has a built-in dual-core CPU that makes the ideal player for multitasking. It is designed for heavy games, large workloads and the intensive use of file. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=hSoUcT

  Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

  See you soon!

• How to use the book of fonts with fonts that are installed on the external hard drive

  I have all my fonts to a folder on an external hard drive. How can I use font book to manage these fonts? I want to keep on the external hard drive, not book fonts move them to my main hard drive. For some reason, font book does not know where are the fonts and as soon as I show, he sets in motion all the fonts on my hard drive in a folder/library/fonts. NOT what I want! I don't want thousands of fonts clutter up my main hard drive. I just can't understand how the font book. Only option, I can see, it is 'Install' and it is then the copy begins. I read and tests all day and I just can't understand this. Thanks for your suggestions.

  Font book handles only the fonts that are present in one of the folders of fonts on the startup disk. It can disable these fonts, but it won't work as a custodian of the fonts installed also. I would have suggested using a symbolic link to the folder fonts on the external drive to ~/Library/Fonts, but apparently that no longer works: allow to use symlinks in ~/Library/Fonts
