The hard drive failed on my HP laptop. I bought a new hard drive (not HP) and loaded the HP recovery disks, but a screen will appear that says it is not compatible. Can I use this new hard drive, or should I buy a hard drive for HP?
I looked at a few tech forums and from what I can tell, HP crashes their system you can't use hard disks of third parties. To make a third hard drive to work (depending on the online forums), you will need to bring a technician certified in HP in order to run a utility of DMI (?) and "tattoo" the hard drive for HP use (estimated at close to $45).I can't find a technician certified in HP in my area and Geek Squad said that they can do it more... my laptop is now an expensive paper weight, or there at - it another option (short of spending hundreds of dollars on the purchase of a new Vista + MS Office license)?Hello
posters have reported problems with the use of a replacement hard drive not HP, etc.
as you say you know the answer to your problem buy a new hard drive from HP and then reinstall using their recovery disks
If you have problems with the HP recovery process, contact the manufacturer
It's their recovery process not microsofts

Conversion of Raid 1 configuration to 1 normal hard drive with Windows XP Professional
I have a Dell Precision Workstation 380, which has been set up at the factory in Raid 1 with 2 Seagate 160 GB hard drives. The operating system is Windows XP Professional. I would like to delete the Raid 1 configuration and that the computer is a normal hard drive configuration 1. Can someone help me with a step by step procedure to achieve this?
Hi cbcenterplus,
RAID 1 means that you essentially two drives separated with identical information. In order to break the RAID is simple. Start on the Intel RAID Option Rom utility (ctrl + I), replace two disks drives non-members, and then restart your computer. The 2nd disc will receive a new drive letter, and you can get in shape by using the disk management and have extra space.

Y480 - laptop does not start with attached hard drive enclosure.
My laptop started clicking and will boot LAN, so I opened it and looked at the hard drive. All seemed well, it wouldn't be fair to start. Then I removed the metal casing around it and stuck the drive in. Everything started normally. Chkdsk shows nothing wrong with the hard drive, and I'm not sure why remove the dressing would affect startup. All the thoughts/solutions?
Blue... temporarily parts of the sponge to keep the HARD drive in place.
and if your Y480 is still under warranty, can consult a Support technique Lenovo...

I have a G4 laptop. I put a new hard drive in it?
I have a G4 laptop in very good condition, but there is very little space on the hard disk. Can I put a new one in it?
Yes, although the effort can be called "Difficult" due to other elements
in the path before the actual task is completed. Not only the wires or cables.
the screws are different lengths and must therefore be ordered so that you can
keep track of their investment for better.
Replacement of the disks hard ATA/IDE rotation is more difficult to obtain, and
a better alternative is a product available (example) OWC
It is a Solid State Drive. Faster, the performance of the system greatly improve
and consumes less energy. An example of 60 GB is here for ATA; they have other:
https://eShop.MacSales.com/item/OWC/SSDMLP060/
Examples include when above is also presented on the website page
is a rotating disk hard of 60Go, much less expensive. does not improve
performance, as does an SSD, especially if you are using Leopard 10.5.8.

Instructions on the replacement hard drive with additional detail in the commentary to the user
section, located at the iFixit repair for iBook G4 guide page. See your:

Good luck in this case!
