• Satellite L300D - TEMPRO said that I have no space on the HARD drive

  Hello

  I'm new to the site... I got a L300D for three months and no problem but in the last two weeks, I had TEMPRO warns my readers have free space that disappears quickly.

  In fact at this moment I have a total of * 800Mbs * when in fact I more than * 90Gbs * and I even used a shedder file to clean up more space.
  Is there a way to get TEMPRO on track or is this a normal problem, unsolveable.

  Hey Buddy

  TEMPRO is a tool that scans the entire HARD drive
  I guess you have different partitions on the HARD drive and I guess Tempro tells you that the free space among available partitions_ _on breaks down

  Well, I'm not quite sure what partition is a sense but perhaps hidden partition Vista first, s (WinRE).
  You should know that Vista uses a hidden backup files partition, this partition can be used if something goes wrong with the operating system

  I think Tempro means that partition

• Satellite A100-451 - a few questions on the HARD drive, speakers

  I hope someone can help with these that I could not help on the information line.

  How fast is the hard drive on this laptop? He said SMART 160 GB, but does not specify a speed, although I'm guessing its 5400 RPM.

  Are the Harmon Kardon speakers? The specs say Toshiba stereo, and even on the Comet, he said Harmon Kardon. Here is a good bass-wise?
  Looks like there is no bluetooth, I find a little surprise.

  Finally, the only place wherever I can find it for sale is the comet... I was wondering it anyone has also saw that I had some dodgy experiences with them.

  See you soon

  Hello

  I found some info that the rotation of the HARD drive is 4200 RPM. I'm not sure 100% on speakers but usually if laptop a harman/kardon speakers it is not in the specification but for A100-451, it is not the case. This info, you can get the garage directly.

  BT is not available, and it shouldn't surprise you because most of the A100 models are supplied without BT module. You can use any time key USB BT. IT is simple to use and really cheap.

• I want to reinstall Windows Vista, but have 2 partitions on the hard drive partition which should I use?

  Which partition should I use to re - install Windows Vista? A partition is much smaller then the other.

  Hello

  you don't say how you are trying to reinstall vista

  If you use a microsoft vista dvd you would normally select a CUSTOM installation that gives you the opportunity to see what partitiions are available, what size are they and what is currently installed on them etc.

  It is then to you to delete the existing partition where vista is already installed and reinstall on the same partition or where you want to

  We cannot see how your hard disk is configured

  We can only give you general information on this subject

  read the tutorial below well especially the steps below:

  Now it's time to choose the installation type. Update or custom are the choice, but as you can see, in this case, Custom is the only option. There are two points to note. The first is under Customs where it says you can use this option to change the disks and partitions. This is true to a point. You can create and delete partitions and resize a partition using the command 'Extend '. The second thing to note is that if you want to 'Upgrade '. you need start the installation from Windows inside.

  Once determined the type of installation, it's time to decide where to install Vista. As you can see on the screenshot options in this scenario are limited. There is a 20 GB hard drive and it is all unallocated space. If your intention is to return the entire disk in Vista with none of the additional partitions for other uses, all you have to do is click on disk 0, and then click the [next] button. The installation will continue.

  etc.

• Questions after the hard drive recovery. No longer can run backups or disk defragmentation.

  This weekend I had a problem with my C: drive. It is in the format of RAID and replace one of the disks. However, I had some problems during reboot and had to use the installation disk to recover. I finally returned the operational system and thought that I have not lost all system data. However, my task scheduler has lost all scheduled tasks, I is no longer perform planned "backup files" in the center of backup and restore and when I force a backup in the backup and Restore Center I have a "the system cannot find the file specified 0 x 80070002. Also, I can not throw the Defrager disc from the control panel of the System Maintenance - only through the command line. Plan a daily Defrag. A file must be corrupted somewhere. How can I fix without having to reinstall completely all of this?

  Because it seems to be no good answer to the problem, I decided to reinstall Vista

• Satellite A100 - question on the removal of the HARD drive

  Hi all

  I opened the back panel and have Visual access to the hard drive. It is placed in a kind of rubber cradle / cage. Please advise on how to remove the hard drive and replace it with a new one.

  I need to do this is because I am faced with recurring problems of bad sector and now XP will not boot. So I intend to install a new 160 GB HARD drive and use the recovery disc.

  Also, I enclose the picture of the HARD drive in the laptop when the case was opened.

  Looking forward to your prompt response.

  Thanks in advance.

  Move the HARD drive to the left and the HARD drive will be disconnected. Place it on a flat surface like desktop and remove the two plastic covers by moving them to the left or the right.
  All that s!

• Reinstall XP Pro upgrade after formatting the hard drive, the invalid product key

  I'm going through a gateway with xp adding purched proessional xp home.

• Failure to upgrade the hard drive T30 - blinking cursor - will not progress

  I have trouble to upgrade the hard drive on my Thinkpad T30.

  I'm trying to upgrade a 40 GB hard drive to a hard drive of 250 GB.  (New drive is the EVE of Western Digital WD Scorpio 2500 b)

  I used the Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to clone the drive.  Unfortunately, when I insert the new drive in the computer, booting stops and is at the level of the blinking cursor.

  I used the tools of Lenovo's PC to test everything.

  I have used Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to check the hard drive.

  I've updated my Bios and embedded controller program.

  When I start the computer and press F1 to access the Bios, the sign more shows next to the hard drive.  I understand that this means that the Bios recognizes the hard drive.

  I went into Setup to choose the hard drive as the boot device, but the computer still hangs at the level of the blinking cursor.

  When the new hard drive is connected to the computer by usb in an external case, it shows that the contents of the old drive is copied to the new drive.

  What should I do now to solve this problem and get the computer to boot from the new drive?

  A program, often recommended by the ortegeluis is Easeaus Disk Copy freeware that can help you.

• Bad sectors on the hard drive; help to isolate or repair

  Hello, recently I discovered that my windows get to slump that closely mimics a gel at a random time. After a lot of research on this topic, I did several diagnostic tests on my laptop and finally reduced to my hard drive.
  The problem is evident for the following reasons:
  • When I tried to run chkdsk/r/f, which is always translated by he stuck to "step 4: check the data in the file" around 70%.
  • When the slowdown occurs, the resource monitor from Task Manager for the disk activity showed 1 KB/s (not sure if this is suspicious)
  • Tried various hard drive diagnostic tools. WinDLG gets blocked for a certain sector, but has never even if I waited for 6 h +. SeaTools for DOS has reported that the hard drive failed the tests. Dell diagnostic tool also pointed out the hard drive, is not the test of confidence in some sectors. Toshiba Diagnostics tool did not work as I could not highlight the readers so he could test.
  Formally, this means that I have bad sectors on the hard drive and I want to know if there are solutions to 'fix' or isolate him rather than replace the hard drive. The hard drive is only a year old and I would like to get as much time as I can with the drive without having to spend on a new.
  In addition, I also came to this post here which seems to reflect the same situation:
  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-performance/trying-to-fix-Chkdsk-from-freezing-at-stage-5-of-5/b8b8d748-3b50-4cff-9a28-9469fcfa3b97?page=1&TM=1325413573002
  However, there are a few parts where I am confused and does not really apply to my situation (for example, meanwhile his stage 5, for me its stage 4). Thanks in advance for any help.

  CHKDSK does not indicate a failing hard drive, it indicates problems with the filesystem (NTFS.sys) hard disk.  I like to repeat because that may indicate more out of trouble (if you get several times CHKDSK repair things, then something else is the cause).

  That's what I'm looking for:
  "Windows has made corrections to the file system."
  Know me mistakes.

  DO NOT use the drivers from the resource CD.  They are overwhelmed when you get them.  Go to the Dell support site and download the latest versions here.

  Unfortunately, unless your highly qualified with a soldering iron on small electric parts, then there is no replacement of the part.  Also unfortunately, there is no test for a motherboard problem, so we have to everything else on the rule.

  If it passes all the tests, it indicates that it passed all tests.  All these tests are software - they can not physically 'see' a hardware problem, but can deduct that it based on the results of the tests.

  I suggest you a few additional tests before start thinking that it's the mobo.  They are Prime95 test and tests stress CPU at this link: http://www.carrona.org/hwdiag.html

  I also suggest another facility 'clean' - just to be sure.  Here's what I propose for a clean install:
  [quote]
  For testing purposes, it is best to install Windows "clean".
  It is, basically, install the way that Microsoft intended (with the drivers from Windows Update).
  This procedure is for Windows 7, Vista is similar (but has 2 service packs)

  You will need your installation/recovery DVD (s) before you start.  Once you wipe the hard drive, there is no going back!

  1 back up all your data.
  It will wipe everything off of your hard drive, so what you want to keep should be backed up elsewhere.

  [b] [u] NOTES: [/ b] [/ u] If this is due to an infection, remember to analyze the data with current antivirus to another system to locate and remove malware.

  2. connect the system to the internet (if the system shows then disconnect from the Internet, do).

  3. use one of these free utilities to wipe the hard drive:
  DBAN (http://www.dban.org/download)
  KillDisk (http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm).
  This will remove also any partition system - then the intallation/recovery recovery DVD are essential!

  4. install Windows by booting from the installation/recovery DVD - [b] [u] DO NOT change any settings! [/ u] [/ b]

  5 visit Windows Update and get all updates

  6 visit Windows Update and download the Service Pack 1 (normally under important updates).  Read these notes for installing SP1: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2505743

  7 visit Windows Update and get any other available updates

  8. check device for all unknown/disabled devices Manager - if there are unknown disabled devices, secure them with the latest drivers from the website of the manufacturer of the device (not the PC manufacturer)

  9 download, install and update a free antivirus, so it does not get infected during the test (http://www.carrona.org/freeav.html).

  [u] if problems persist [/ u], the problem is probably with your hardware.

  [b] [u] warning: [/ u] [/ b] If you have an Asus motherboard, check the date on the file C:\Windows\System32\driver\ASACPI.sys.  2004/2005 is a problem, 2009,2010 is OK.  Updates are available on the Web from Asus site.

  [b] [u] warning: [/ u] [/ b] If you have a Sony system, make sure that you do NOT have the 2007 version (or earlier) Extension of Firmware of Sony Analyzer (SFEP.sys).  To update this driver immediately!

• Satellite C660 - update the HARD drive firmware question

  I have satellite C660 with hard drive: MK3275GSX, firmware: v.GT001M. On another Web site support site I found the update of firmware for v.GT002D ([link: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/mw/en/mwdhs1/DriverDetails/Product/latitude-e6330?driverId=FP21C&fileId=3126089791&osCode=W732 & languageCode = en]).

• Question of replacement for the hard drive MacBook Pro Late 2008

  Hello

  My MBP HD headed to the exit so I'll take the plunge and get a replacement SSD to install it.  Being not too tech savvie I'm trying to cover all the bases before starting the replacement so I think I'm OK to get to the old and a new one outside.

  I read that a clean install of Mac OS X is recommended.  The plan is to install the new SSD and connect the old HD the MBP for a speaker for the migration of files once the SSD has been formatted and installed operating system.  One of my questions is what OS can / should I install in the first place on the new SSD.  I have the Leopard installation disc that came with the MBP, I also have a Snow Leopard install disc I bought (this is the version 10.6.3).  Start with the Snow Leopard disc or do I have to install Leopard first?  I would get the new OS SSD up to version I'm currently on (10.7.5).

  My other question is around RAM.  As part of the upgrade, I plan to replace and max of RAM, I've seen is now 8 GB between the two slots.  I read what the maximum capacity to 8 as part of an update of the firmware.  So the question is: should I do all updates of OS before installing the RAM?  The MBP would difficult treat 8GB if the firmware update is not installed through the different software updates that will be needed once the OS is installed on the SSD?

  Advice/suggestions appreciated.

  See you soon

  Replace the RAM can be done at any time. If you have already downloaded the firmware required, it has already updated your material and will not be lost when you replace the hard drive. However, according to Apple, your computer can manage only a 4 GB. I could be missing something...

  See here: MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) - technical data sheet

  As far as your OS issue, the best thing to do is get the updated software to match the information that you are migrating back (to make sure no problem with migration). The best way to do it, is to download recovery disk wizard and install it on an extra USB key. This allows you to install Lion without having to install Leopard or Snow Leopard first. This will also use disk utility to format the new SSD correctly.

• Copy the files from the flash drive on the hard drive but I don't want to copy the files I already have.

  I have Windows XP.  I have a flash drive with many files that I have on my second hard drive.  I just it copies the files that I have on the hard drive and I don't want to have to sit and answer 'yes' or 'no' question about the replacement of files each time that it recognizes a file duplicate. How do I do that?

  When you see this double prompt or not, are there not a checkbox that says something like "Always do this for all files" or something in that sense?
   
  You can manually copy the files. Here is the CTRL key while you click the files you want and then just drag them to the location on the HARD drive.
