• Replacing the old hard drive to a new hard drive

  Hello!

  need help, I replaced my HARD drive with a new... How can I reinstall the existing operating system?

  What Type of format should, I used?

  Laptop model:

  HP Envy Sleekbook 4

  Windows 8 x 64

  The problem is that the BIOS key Code is Windows 8 and that you have installed Windows 8.1. The embedded key will not activate Windows 8.1. If you want to do this for free and use the key that came with the computer, you must install Windows 8, activate it (or it is activated) and then move to 8.1 by the store. Or just buy a key for 8.1 and use it to activate the installation you have.

• Can satellite A100-847 - I replace my current HARD drive with a SATA2 HARD drive?

  Hello

  I am currently using a Satellite A100-847 with a 100 GB SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive. I plan to change with a Western Digital WD2500BEKT 250 GB SATA2 16 MB 2.5 inch laptop hard drive 7200 TRM. Is it possible to replace my current HARD drive which is SATA with a one SATA2?

  And if not what is my best option upgrade of the mine to a HARD fast (7200 RPM) disc?

  Hello!

  Yes, you can replace the current drive with a SATA2 HARD disk. You already have a SATA interface, and this means that you can use each HDD with SATA interface.

  I don't know Mr. but as far as I know the Satellite A100 cannot use the speed of SATA1. This means that the new HARD drive maybe won't work with SATA1 speed but there is no significant difference in performance.

  A HARD drive with 7200 RPM is really fast, but don t forget it produces more heat and needs more electric battery. A HARD disk at 5400 RPM is perhaps fast enough for you?

  Good bye

• Where and how can I reinstall the external hard drive to the new HD to the computer?

  Original title: HD crashed.

  I want to thank the person who answered my question about the HD crashed I saved all my data and window xp. My next question is, how and where can I reinstall external hard drive for the new HD to the computer? Should I send it to drive c or where? I'm not strong when it comes to computers. I know just enough to get me in trouble. Thank you.

  Hello!

  You will need to use a full copy of Windows XP.  Should be a sticker with the product key on the side of your desk or below if it is a laptop.

  Once you have this drive, you can reinstall Windows XP.  After you have installed all the software and drivers, you will be able to transfer all your data to the new HARD drive.

  If you don't have a copy of Windows XP, you can probably get a copy of the recovery from the manufacturing of computer media.  Just to provide the model and serial number and they should sent it.

• replace the old hard drive with nine in Pavilion dv2019tu

  Max Mamory is 2 GB. I'm sorry.

  AMD model series versions has been reported to have difficulties even with hard drives of 500 GB. There has never been a logical explanation. Since it is SATA it must accept any drive SATA 2.5 inch width 9.5 mm thick. However, the reports were many and not lightly ignored. I can not find plug on the dv2019tu so if it has an Intel processor, I would say that you're good to go with a 1 TB SATA drive, as long as it is not thicker than 9.5 mm. Also pay attention to the connecting piece plastic on the old hard drive. It is necessary to connect the SATA ports on the drive to the motherboard. You have to use it again.

• Replace the 2 hard drives with a hard drive. What cables to use?

  Desktop Pavilion has 2 hard drives (320 GB each), each with 2 cables.  I replace these with a HD (1 to).  Whatever the cable set that I use?  Leave the other disconnected?

  Thank you

  Vern

  Hi Vern,

  The power connector does not matter, you can use.  The SATA cable to be used must be the one plugged into the first connector on the motherboard labeled Sata sata 0.  Remove unused motherboard sata cable.

  Kind regards

• I have an external hard drive that I formatted using vista. I can't read this same hard drive with xp

  I recently formatted a WD external hard drive via my computer vista laptop. I downloaded several MB of files on the hard drive. My Vista laptop crashed and I need a new hard drive. I'm trying to access these files through my XP laptop. I see the DRIVE - "D". However, when I try to access the drive, what happens with "the disk in drive d is not formatted" do you want to format it now?

  That fixed my problem. I can now access this drive.

• Can WRT1900ACS use an external hard drive with disks in RAID 0, 1, or JBOD?

  Hello

  Happy new year.

  Is an external drive with more disks RAID 0, 1; JBOD compatible with WRT1900ACS?

  I have this idea to tie a big (6-8 TB) external drive and use the DLNA feature as an alternative to a computer as NAS and DLNA server. The external drive could be four 2 TB Western Digital hard drives in RAID 0, 1; JBOD. The boxes can be:

  - Western Digital my book Duo.

  - IB-3640SU3 - external case of JBOD 4 x with eSATA and USB 3.0 for disks 3.5 "SATA hard.

  I hope someone can help clarify if I have misunderstood something.

  Concerning

  Jan Rouvi

  Hello. It is not recommended to use this type of enclosure with the WRT1900ACS, since most of this is managed by software that are installed on the computer. The software will not be able to detect hard drives, whether they are connected to the router and the router does not have this capability to configure drives in RAID 0, 1, or JBOD. The configuration of the router storage tool is just very basic. If you really need to configure RAID 0, 1, or JBOD in terms of network, you must obtain a SIN.

• oxC004F061. After replacing a failed hard drive, windows 7 do not allow me to activate. I had replaced a previous hard drive with window xp verson with this same program windows 7.

  Two years ago, that a virus killed my hard drive of windows xp.  Dell has replaced the hard drive as it was under warranty, but spoke to me by getting the upgrade to windows 7.  It was installed after that the new hard drive was put in and worked great until 3 weeks ago, when the hard drive is dead again. replaced the hard drive and put it in the installation discs but do not know where I was wrong.  It will not let me activate windows and gives me the code 0 x C004F061.  I'm short on time to enable any suggestions on what to do.
