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:

performance, as does an SSD, especially if you are using Leopard 10.5.8.

I put a new hard drive in my laptop and when I install Vista I get this message: "windows cannot configure windows to run on this hardware of computers." I can't install an oem on a new hard drive version? This is the portable original in all other respects.
original title: new hard drive and vistaHello
strange that you can request that
HP computers have been known to not let you install Vista on a non HP bought replacement hard drive
There were a few posters with this problem here
If the OEM disc for this particular laptop, you should be able to reinstall it as many times as you want as long as you have not changed the main material (the motherboard)
You can change the hard drives, RAM, etc.
I presume that you boot from the Vista DVD

My MacBook Pro was built in mid-2009, a 2.6 GHz, 13-inch, I just put a new hard drive 700 GB and I added a new battery to include a new CD/DVD drive. I spent more than 400 million dollars.
I understand that I won't be able to get the next Sierra of OS. I need to by a new Mac?
Talk to the people the more I would get if I turn in I'd get is about are about $ 100 million. Please tell me it isn't so.
If you want Siera you will need a new Mac, but you can continue to use the old one as long as you want.

Pavilion a1710n impossible to enter the BIOS from the put in new hard drive
I have a HP Pavilion a1710n desktop initially under Vista Home Premium. Problem is hard disk came out, I then replaced with a hard drive Western Digital SATA of similar type. However, now I am unable to enter BIOS using F10 or Escape or by pressing the F1 key turning on the PC. When I tried to put Vista on the PC, it stopped and gave me an error 0 x 80070002; Lack of D:\Sources\Installation, which I do not know what it means exactly or how to fix it. I had already updated the Vista Home Premium to Win7 Pro. Given that the disc is a disc update of Win7, guess I'll have to reinstall Vista first and then update again to Win7 Pro? At the moment everything I have on the PC is the new hard drive without any Windows operating system and my PC doesn't seem to be reading the new hard drive, I think, and in the Start Menu, it is shown as 3rd master drive and DVD is 2nd Master. So what happened the 1st master? No what should be my new hard drive? I'm always so frustrated and of course, my PC is long out of warranty, although I tried calling support without much help I'm afraid. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello again patticat22,
Thank you for responding to my message. If I understand your reference Bravo you check to see if you can find a solution? If and it would be better to search for accepted Solutions because they are used to indicate that a solution has been found, where a Bravo must indicate appreciate for a position.
As for your question, I think it could be a drive for the failure of the installation that you have and recommend you order another set. I'm you provide a link to the HP Support document: looking for HP recovery discs or a USB HP recovery disk?, which has all the necessary steps to guide you through the ordering a new set of recovery disks. There may be a fee for ordering them, but I think this will solve your problem and get your computer back operational.
So you can try to use the HP support document: removing and replacing the CMOS battery, that you want to remove the battery (keep out 24 hours before putting it again) and put it back. This should clear your BIOS and reset back to factory. If the BIOS is still inaccessible after that, I think it would be best if you contacted technical support HP for repair options.
United States supports Contact link options HP products purchased in the United States.
Outside WE support link to connect with options for HP products purchased outside the United States.
Please re-post though I have well understood you or if you need additional support. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great weekend! -

laptop will not allow new hard drive
Laptop HP 2000-2b19WM will not again take hard drive, no parameters in Bios to allow to change the SATA or IDE drives I activated the legacy... support any help would be appreciated...
OK, that makes sense. Starting with Windows 8 key Code is built into the BIOS. If you could get an OEM of Windows 8 drive you can install it and it just works (activate) without needing a key Code.
And if she has had 10 Windows activated on this subject, you can reinstall Windows own 10 and it will activate only as soon as it is connected to the internet.

I put the system disk in my cd drive, but it does not start. I looked in my bios and I see my cd listed and I chose it to start up. Does anyone have the answers. I worked on this for 2 days and I am at my wits end at this point. I even recorded files from the drive to a flash drive, but that doesn't work anymore. Help.
[edited for clarity]
You can check if the new HARD drive is listed on BIOS SATA devices?
Press F2 at startup.
I don't think that the size will be a problem but you need to check if the HARD disk is read by the BIOS.

If you create recovery discs when you got the computer, you will need to ask the manufacturer for their recovery disks.

I already have Vista running. Last week I had to run the recovery disc that came with my laptop, now I am hearing cracking and screetching coming from the hard drive and it does not start. I intend to buy a new hard drive and replace it myself. How can I move the new Vista of the old hard drive?
My computer did come with an installation disc, only a recovery disk.
Probably you need to use the product key on your computer to activate Windows.
