• Envy Touchsmart 15-J144na: HP Envy material of hard drive Kit

  Hi all

  So I am desperately looking for a replacement hard drive cable for my laptop. (Envy Touchsmart 15-J144na)

  HP part number is 718432-001. (Directly from repair HPs)

  I tried the company I used to use FAE Supply Chain and after taking the money, they said two weeks later that they do not have, nor can they get it, for having issued a refund!

  I am now hunting around but with very little success.

  I only really need the cable, but fortunately buy any combination of products and parts to get to the bit, I want!

  I'm self-employed, so that each day that passes that I lose money.

  If anyone knows of any good company in the United Kingdom (or even in the world, im not picky!) would be great get your suggestions.

  (Prefer original HP parts, but I can't afford to be more fussy!)

  PS I tried all the companies on the site Web of HPs for the part and none of them have or even know what part im speaking of! (With the exception of Europarts EET I'm waiting for)

  Thank you

• Firebird 802 - upgrade hard drives - Solid State / hybrid anyone?

  I'm upgrading hard drives on my Firebird 802 (the part the WEAKEST of my Firebird and the SMALLEST score on Windows Index). I replaced the drive secondary with a Seagate 500 GB SATA drive at 7200 RPM (ST950042 4AS) and REALLY improved performance (I have my file on the secondary drive).

  It's now time to upgrade the MAIN disk. I'm looking at a "Hybrid" car A Seagate ST95005620AS Momentus XT 500 GB Solid State Hybrid Drive - 500 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA 3 Gb/s.

  Has anyone tried upgrading the main drive of a hybrid? For a solid Sate drive?

  Thank you

  Enzo

  Well WELL, @ 10:39 PM PST after FOUR and a HALF and TWO attempts of the hybrid drive WORKS as my main drive on my Firebird 802!

  Using the data transfer software CMS Bounceback ($14.99 per download) the program was missing several files that were essential for the computer to boot. Once I checked the transfer journal and moved the files myself IT BOOTS!

  THUS, in a few weeks, I'll post the kind of increases in speed that I experience. First comment, my drives are running @ 98 degrees F. It's HOT, so I'll have to come back a fan for the hard disk enclosure, in fact, you can put at the front of the box and jump through this background grid. Going to put in place tomorrow. Now I'm BEAT!

  Thus, it CAN BE DONE on your Firebird! Solution, HERE!

  Thank you!

• 6400 upgrade Hard Drive just SHRUNK... Once again!!!

  First of all let me state that I am ready to throw my computer and TWO 2, TWO Yes upgrade hard drives out of my 2nd floor window!

  OK, my wind is done, for now.

  I have an Inspiron 6400 with HDD 80 GB of origin (73.1 GB space.)  I wanted to go to a Western Digital 250 GB hard drive.  I bought the drive and cloned it.  My first attempt was a purchase Norton Ghost program (after the $150 for the reader, that's another $50 for the program) I cloned it from the laptop via a USB - SATA connection.  Everything seemed fine, until I swapped hard drives.  He got through the BIOS, no problem, then started to windows.  Immediately, it projected blue and that was that.  Swap return original hard drive, everything OK.  Put old drive in the spare computer/SATA slot and realized that the reader shrunk to 73.1 GB. . the SAME SIZE as the original drive.

  After days/weeks and literally probably 5 to 6 hours of troubleshooting, downloading about 4-5 programs, utilities, etc, and have EVERY single utility, test and program otherwise tell me the car was very good (less the fact that he was now 170 GB smaller) I thought that drive was simply bad then returned.  (After fighting with Tiger Direct, I had to return it directly to WD, but they at least sent me a replacement unit before that I had to return the first...  (where my 'two' drives))

  So I have the new, 2nd hard drive in hand and I say to myself that I would be the clone differently, from my desktop (Dell 690) who had a few ports SATA spare on it.  I cloned it with a different program and once again, everything seems to be okay.  It showed in my office.  This time, I've set manually the new disk partitions to what I end up with.)

  So I put the new, larger, cloned drive in the computer, booted and BAAM!  Exactly the same thing.  Blue screen stop...  And guess what... The drive is now 73.1 GB. . and once more, there is nothing I can do to bring back to 250 GB... any computer, software, utility, etc. I throw at it or throw it out in...

  Back to Western Digital... but this time, I don't know yet what to say or how to proceed.

  My questions are:

  1. What is happening and why I can't get a 250 GB drive in the machine.  (I can't find ANYWHERE a maximum limit of hard drive)

  2. any thoughts on how to get my drive to the correct size of declaration?

  I'm really steam it... I have never spent so much time on what should be a simple question in my 15 years and more and about 20 + systems of computers through my hands...

  Thanks in advance

• Can not activate CS4 Web Premium after the upgrade Hard Drive Mac OS x 11.3

  I can't access any program now CS4 after upgrade my hard drive to an SSD. I get a small dialog box saying "license for this product has stopped working. Error code 150:30"MacBook Pro, OS X 11.3 (el Capitan). The chat tech support person told me that CS4 is "not compatible" with El Capitan, but I've been using Cs4 for several months now with El Capitan, so it's not true.

  In the past, when I've got a new Mac or upgraded the operating system, I had the opportunity in an Adobe dialog to enter my serial number in, but this is not the case now.

  Nothing has changed since this morning except my newly upgraded hard drive. Except that this time I don't have a way to enter my serial number and reactivate.

  Can anyone help?

• HP Envy M6: My HARD drive is not bad on my computer? I have reloaded Win 8 and upgraded to Win 8.1 but he keeps crashing

  Hi need help and answers from an expert!

  My HP Envy M6 Recenly has stopped working correctly, so I decided to recover as soon as possible.  She still had the same problems, so I decided to restore factory with recovery USB flash drive I did.  Always had the same problem happens after I rebooted 8 Win and improved to 8.1.  It would work for a few minutes and stop working I used chkdsk and it says it fixed a few problems with the drive.

  I went through the same steps another 3 times!  After each time that once I had that he would be running again after a clean reinstall.  I would like to run chkdsk and it looks like he fixed some error, but last time, it wouldn't or couldn't find some files to run and crashed.  I tried loading Acronis and tried to reinstall the backup from there but that also failed to correct the problem.  I came to the conclusion that my HD is physically wrong?

  I guess the recovery process would reformat the partitions before you reinstall so it's not a logic error (software)?  From the recovery partition, the recovery Flash disk media and recovery software acronis can fix this, I can only assume, there is a problem with the drive itself?

  Is there a way to check this?  I don't mind replacing the drive to a SSD, so this isn't a problem, but I can't seem to find a product key.  Nothing printed on the bottom.  I read somewhere that it is now integrated with the motherboard bios so can I just use the recovery media that I did on a flash drive?

  Also, I have my backup file but I could never find the location of the image my wife loaded as the photo of "lock" screen which I do not have a copy of.  I have the backup files for windows 8.1 by Acronis and according to me, a Windows backup file on a backup drive, but I was wondering if these "locked screen hidden image" would be held somewhere in these data?  It is not under the images and I have never been able to find or understand where windows keeps this image.  I used the search without success.

  Of course, this is not critical, but I hate losing this particular image.  I hope it's keep somewhere in my back upward and when restoring with a new drive hard I can reload the backup and restore.

  So I really ned knowledge step by step: my HD is bad?  How can I check without having to spend hours to reload only to fail?

  Why chkdisk does not?  Or should I simply replace HD and if so what can I use the new disk recovery media and product ID will be accessible through the motherboard?

  I intend to upgrade to win 10, but I need Win 8 loading first, then move to 8.1 then move to Win 10?  Also in the future if it crashes how can I recover to win 10? Since it is free now but will not be later.  The upgrade will allow me to make a copy (a copy) to win 10?

  A lot of questions, but please provide the fastest solution to my problems and concerns.

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello fmhawaii ;
  
  I read your post on your PC crashing and wanted to help.

  It certainly seems that your hard drive has failed.  Some PC allows the drive to check in the BIOS: test a hard drive in the BIOS. HP® customer support

  If that confirms that the disc is bad, then you will need to replace it.

  As for activation, you are right in that, with Win8x machines, the product key is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware, however, the instructions in this link, show you how to recover: find product - key for Windows 8

  When you restore from recovery media, which is supposed to automatically read product key, so you will not have to enter something to activate reinstall it.  My guess is that the drive problems that prevented from happening.

  Acronis allows you to mount an image file by using a drive letter, and once you do this, you should then be able to browse through the content to find the file you want.  However, depending on what part of the logon icon changed, it might be embedded image in a Windows system file, and unless there is a separate copy of this image, it will be very difficult to recover.  IF you Google it, you might be able to find downloadable tools for disassembly of this file and subseuent extraction of this file.

  I wouldn't hurry to Win10, but if you choose to follow this path, don't forget to make a new advance Acronis backup, then you can return to a system of Win8x of work if something is wrong - as the Win10 GoBack function is known to be unreliable.
  
  Good luck

• Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  I want a bigger hard drive, but xp home edition preinstalled. If I change the hard drive I don't think that the recovery disc would work to re install xp. How can I do this without having to buy a new version of windows? Oh, it's a portable satellite pro spa10.

  Sorry, but why you are suggesting that the recovery CD will not recognize the new HARD drive?
  The fact is that if the BIOS will recognize the new HARD drive then you will have no problem for the recovery and the installation of the OS.

  If you want to upgrade the HARD drive, you must use a compatible. Then everything simply initialize-towards the top of the recovery CD and the operating system will install on the new HD disc.

• Satellite P20 upgrade hard drive

  I have a 20 P with 60 GB hard drive, which fills up quickly.
  Can I switch to one of the largest new HD such as

  Toshiba 100 GB MK1032GAX?

  I also guess that my standard would be IDE and I can't use S - Ata?
  The BIOs supports this size of HD?

  Thanks, Birgit (starting the computer)

  Hi, Birgit

  As far as I know just newer models of laptops have 100 GB hard drives. I had last year to P20. Nice unit.

  In my view there should not be any problems but of course try to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner in your country. They have experience with the hardware upgrade.

  Please let us know if the upgrade will be successful.

  Thank you

• 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

• Satellite Pro A120-107: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello world

  I have a 120-107 I am generally satisfied but the hard drive is too small and I think the upgrade in about 100 GB. What should I look for when buying? Any suggestions on the best drive to get? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

  Hello

  "you just have to take care, that you buy a Sata Drive in the"form factor"2.5". That's all.
  As I know, the biggest that drive was delivered with this machine was a 120 GB SATA drive.

  Regarding the manufacturer: do not hesitate to take all the manufacturers that you like. The best would be Toshiba at all ;)

• Cannot install recovery image on my Equium after upgrade HARD drive

  Hello

  I just installed a new hard drive for my Toshiba laptop Equium I contacted Toshiba who informed me that I could mount up to 1 TB, I opted for with a 500 GB at halfway.
  After installing the drive I inserted the disc of recovery after a while, it was loaded with the operation completed successfully message. Next message put in place windows could not configure windows to run on this computer hardware. Then windows could not complete the installation to install windows on installation, this restart of the computer...

  At the end of the restore process a message tells me to remove the recovery disc and output as soon as I get the laptop stops and doesn t re boot automatically. During the next restart windows message Vista starts for the first time then the cycle starts again. I tried to reload several times recovery according to the instructions, but not good.

  Any help much appreciated

  I put t know which model of laptop you have, but if the recovery image is Vista, it must be quite old model, maybe Equium A200.
  To be honest I didn't experiment with the upgrade of the HARD drive on older models, but I can imagine the image recovery are a problems with hard drives with huge capacities.

  Display please model name and which HDD you inside now.
  By the way: if possible, try to install Win7 using Microsoft installation disc. I m it will be safe works without any problem.

• problem trying to upgrade hard drive on 3000 x 4

  Hello
  I am trying to upgrade the hard drive on my Satellite 3000 x 4 a 15 GB Toshiba MK1517. I bought a Seagate ST94811A 40 GB I wanted a speed + increase in size. I removed the drive Toshiba took off the lower metal/plastic shield and its successor the the Seagate, removed the jumper to set as master, attached to the external cover and screwed in place. I turned on accidentally, I missed the BIOS screen and it says no operating system, so I rebooted then you press F2 to enter the BIOS (version 6.0 of Phoenix 4). Unfortunately, it just says not: 'no disk' next drive, he even will not allow set me all settings (it's the same thing with the Toshiba drive). The BIOS seems to have no advanced settings is a cut from the version that works only with the original Toshiba drive? I've updated to the latest version 1.6 on the Toshiba site. I really want to get the player to work please help.

  Thank you

  Will be

  Salvation will be

  I'm not sure but I think in the Phoenix BIOS, there is no setup. HARD drive is automatically recognized and you can install OS. Before doing this, it is advisable to make two or more partitions.

  If it works well please let me know.

  Good bye

• Portege M400 - upgrade HARD drive protection and vibration

  I think the upgrade from 80 GB to 500 GB HARD drive, but I was wondering how this affects the protection against vibration - I should get a player that has not integrated it and the new disc will have the same protection against vibrations the original - that is I presume the protection mechanism is outside the drive and just parks the drive head when it detects a movement.

  ... actually looks that most have detection of shock, I'll go with a Toshiba drive because it stresses peace.

  Hey Buddy!

  Hmm... First of all I'm not sure if a 500 GB will work in your laptop if only 80 GB HARD drive is installed. I m also asks that you need as much disk space in a laptop. For example, 160 or 250 GB is enough for me because I store most of my data on s to external HARD disk or DVD.
  Let me give you a little advice: in this case I'm going to my local computer store and talk with the seller which HARD disk, it can recommend. After that, I was able to test the HARD drive in a computer store and, for example, it doesn't work, you can buy a new one. Who is really nice and it should be possible in most computer stores. ;)

  Regarding your question of vibration and shock protection, I think that a new drive HARD doesn't affect this feature because they don t have such a feature built-in so it makes no difference what HARD drive you buy.

  Good luck!

• Equium A100-549: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello
  I'm looking to upgrade the hard drive on my A100-549 that 40 GB is not enough.

  Anyone know what kind of car I need to buy?

  Looked at Ebuyer and there is some Toshiba 2.5 "hard drives, but want to make sure that I have buy one that will be compatiable with my laptop.

  Any ideas?

  See you soon

  Hello

  In my opinion, you need the HARD drive with Serial ATA interface and you can use 40/60/80/100/120 GB hard drives.
