  Windows will recognize a new hard drive (I assume that you will start the machine from cd) and it has need of formatting it will tell you. You will then need to change the format to FAT32 to NTFS - Windows Help will tell you how to...
  If you are keen on the old disk to the new disk of mirror image, then I think that google some research is in order for example "mirror new portable drive ' there are older versions of disk imaging programs available for free download that will handle NTFS. to search for names include Norton Ghost and Acronis.

• Disk not configured VM after Exchange hard drive Slots / berries

  Hi - I have 5.5 ESXi configured HP DL380 G6 server and three independent logical drives.  I had exchanged a HDD in slot 1 with slot 3 to do a test, but then he returned to original slots.

  In the ESXi VMware client, I see the detected hard drives but next to him said ' ' unconfigured disk and virtual machines, I say unknown inaccessible. "

  I removed the VM of the inventory by pressing a note KM, but the problem is that I do not see my data stores, none of the hard disk appears in the Configuration > storage > devices section. If I can see them in the Configuration > health > storage area.

  Any thoughts on what I can do for the disc to be recognized, all that was done was split/Bay 1 hard drive was moved to slot/Bay 3 and vice versa.

  Would appreciate the help as I would not start over.

  Thank you!

• Portege R700-1hd: Questions about HARD drive replacement and passwords

  I have a 1hd R700 with 320 GB HARD drive in stock. I want to upgrade it to 500 GB. This update should be pretty simple, cloning from the old to the new.

  However, I was wondering about the HARD drive password / finger.
  My HARD drive it configured to use a fingerprint/password on boot - I guess that it is involved in the BIOS and the drive itself, but I'm not exactly sure how.
  I think the HARD drive itself is locked, it is not a Windows or BIOS password.

  If I change the HARD drive will still be able to use startup disk HARD password/fingerprint? Are there requirements for material of HARD drive I need to consider before buying new HARD drive? As should be a specific type of HARD drive to work with password disk HARD/fingerprint digital?

  Thank you

  Hi bullerd,

  The HARD drive password is stored on the HARD drive so when you replace the HARD drive you must set a new password of HDD in BIOS. The password is not stored in the BIOS. In addition fingerprints can also be stored on the HARD drive or let s say fingerprint digital software but all of the operating system must be installed after Exchange HARD drive so it s new problem.

  So the two passwords you mentioned are stored on the HARD drive so it s no problem to swap the HARD drive. :)

• Backup of two mac mini hard drives

  I have a Mac Mini 2011 with two 500 GB hard drives.  I have apps and General things about hard drive #1 and #2 only has pictures and videos.  Will be Time Machine backs up both drives to my external hard drive as one or two separate back ups?  I see files of backup HD #1, but not sure if the HD #2 files are also there.  I can't find an answer in the support documents.  Ideas?

  Open the Time Machine system preferences pane, click Options, and check if the disks are in the exclusion list.

• Mini Mac server - attachment of external hard drives file transfer speed

  Hi guys!

  I wanted to increase the speed and storage capacity to transfer to my Mac mini file, so I bought a box of external hard drives. The one I bought is: http://www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=219

  Built-in the Mac mini hard drives transfer the file to 60 MB/s (writing and reading) and I wanted to get better speed of file transfer, so I bought an SSD that is going to be inside with an another HARD drive of 3 TB for archiving my files. The housing is connected by USB3.0 (5 Gb/s) for the Mac mini.

  [SSD-> files I opened every day] - speed around 550 MB/s write and 500 MB/sec in reading

  [HDD-> Archives, files that I have does not open very often] - speed around 150 MB/s write and 150 MB/sec in reading

  So I did some benchmarks on my new Setup, and the speed is not really what I expected. Transfer of file max speed I have achieved is about 100 MB/sec in writing on the external SSD plugged into the mac mini. This transfer has been filed since an iMac 21 "2011 with an SSD (with almost the same speed read/write than the box) so it's quite disappointing.

  It is possible that the Mac has a 'file transfer speed limit' is somewhere? Or whatever else that could affect that?

  More information on my setup:

  Mac Mini server 2012 - 2 TB RAID 1 - Mac OSX 10.9.5

  iMac 21 "2011 - Crucial SSD 275 Gb - Mac OSX 10.9.4

  IcyDock external enclosure - 4 bays, USB3 5 Gb/s

  -Red WD HDD 3To

  -Crucial SSD 1 TB

  Together internal Gigabit Ethernet network

  Thank you!

• Mini Mac hard drive

  LSAT night my Mac Mini unexpectedly crashed. My screen is returned and I could hear what I listened for maybe 5-10 seconds more, then he stopped. He tried to restart it, but there was some vertical bars on the screen and he would charge only at half way. I tried again, same thing. If my hard drive is kaput, I would say. First question: how hard is it to replace a hard drive in a Mac mini, and what is the best HD? Ideal would be at least 500 GB. I'd love to tell you exactly how old my Mini's, but I can't get to this info. My best guess is 2012.

  My next question is if I can use my old 2007 (I think) MBP to access some of my files. Or better yet, if I can partition. I've recently upgraded to El Capitan on my Mini.

  I'm quite concerned to be without a desktop computer, so I hope I can fix/replace my HD soon. I can't afford a new Mini, so as hard as it sounds, I hope the replacement of the HD is not too involved.

  Depending on whether your HARD drive is installed in the upper or lower Bay, determines how many parts to remove to access.

  iFixit.com has Visual instructions about how do to replace a hard drive in a Mac Mini. I did it several times and it is not so difficult. You just need to go slow and keep track of all parties.

  OWC (Macsales.com) hard drives are very good. I recently bought a 1 to 7200 RPM disk HGST for about $65.

  As far as trying to get all the files off of it, you can try to put the Mini Mode target by its reboot by holding down the T key. I use a Thunderbolt cable for this. I don't know what you need to use with a Mac in 2007. If you are able to get the target Mode and then the 2007 Mac Mini you could see if you can copy files on. If all goes well, you have a sort of return to the top of the Mini before the drive failure.

• You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?

  I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.

  You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.

• Mac Mini does not recognize external hard drive

  Hello!

  I have a weird question on my Mac Mini. I have two Seagate to 8 external drives connected via USB to my Mac Mini (mid-2011 with Maverics). The discs worked well, but suddenly one of them will not be recognized by the Mac Mini.

  I connected the hard drive of my MacBook Pro and an old PC and it works fine and all files are available, but for some reason, my Mac Mini will have nothing to do with her anymore.

  It does not appear in the finder or disk utility. I unplugged the hard drive for hours and then tried to plug it back without a bit of luck. I restarted the Mac Mini on several occasions. I also tried to connect it to all the USB ports on the Mac Mini. When I connect it to the USB ports, there is no whisper sound indicating that it has started working. However, no sign of it on the Mac Mini.

  It's like the Mac Mini has decided to ignore the external hard drive, no matter what I do. Seeing this works on other devices, I'm fairly certain that the problem lies in the Mac Mini.

  I'm no expert, so any help will be very valuable for me. And if you are kind to help, please explain it to me like I'm 8 or 93 years old.

  Thank you.

  Are these drives powered independently or they depend on USB power?

• Mac Mini loses the connection to the internal hard drive

  Hello

  I got in trouble once per day or almost one year that my Mini mac interrupts the communication with the hard drive. You can work away and all of a sudden all gel applications. Say, you happen to have a terminal open, if you try to execute commands in / sbin as stop or something like that, it is to say that you don't have access to the files with an error like this:

  bash: / sbin/shutdown: device not configured

  Finally the Terminal Server session freezes as well.

  I used the Apple Diagnostics for all the materials and it test verifies all very well. I bought and installed a copy of TechTools Pro (v8.0.3 build 1967) and he reported no problem whatsoever with everything. To be on the safe side, I replaced the memory, still no luck.

  I've lived a lot of system updates and none of them seem to have solved the problem. I am currently on OS X El Capitan v10.11.5 Beta (15F18c). Yes I know it's beta, but this problem before any release of El Capitan.

  The most reliable way to reduce the appearance of it during my work day is a reboot planned each night. For one reason or another, which reduces the frequency.

  I am at a loss on how to fix this and would appreciate any advice.

  Material is a Mac mini (end of 2012), the processor is an Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz, is now 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory, graphic is Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB, storage is a 500.11 SATA GB Apple drive ST500LM012 HARD drive

  Thanks in advance.

  Maybe a bad connection tight to the HD. It could be the end of the water which connects to the system board. I had similar symptoms on my Mini 2012 and it is in this regard.  Like you if I stop and then after awhile restarted, it would be OK for a while.

  It could also be a problem with the HD

• Portege R600 - exchange of HARD drive

  We are very impressed by our new R600-S4201, among the first to be released in the American market. But we would like to exchange an SSD for the 160 GB conventional hard drive. CSR Toshiba says that we can do it - that it will not void the warranty - but unfortunately the disassembly procedure did not he still Manila.

  R500 instructions do not help the R600 is a unique piece, with only applies for memory, etc., but not for the hard drive.

  We have removed all the screws (really ALL), including the screw of one side, but the background is not 'free '. It is hung up by the projection of the ports, etc. on the eSATA (side not the DVD). It is too thin and fragile to take a lot of strength, then we're stuck.

  It seems that the background should move outwards if he wants to overcome these obstacles. We should remove the top panel, paved touchscreen and keyboard, but there is no obvious way to do it.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  AFAIK swap the HARD drive, you must remove the cover on the bottom side.

  On this laptop it s a little more delicate and you need to remove a large number of screws to exchange the HARD drive. If you go to a local ASP and ask a technician for help.
