• Satellite P100-160 - how to identify HARD drive?

  I have a P100-160 (part number PSPAAE-01D00UEN).

  Hi ian5184_1,

  If you check the specifications of your book, you can check what HARD drive is built in or you have a look in your user manual.

  On the first few pages, you will find all the information on the material, and there is a HARD drive with Serial ATA interface built in.

  If you think about upgrading the HARD drive, you can buy each 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface. On this interface, there is no limit of capacity. :)

  How can I identify a defective internal hard drive to be replaced on a macpro 2009 beginning el capitan running

  A good starting point is the Information System (Option while clicking the Menu Apple key). At the hardware level, click on Express SATA/SATA and look for the SMART State in the bottom right pane for each HD listed in the upper pane right. Unless the State is OK, looks like not verified. If the drive is totally dead, search for a missing list for a drive Bay, you know is filled.

• How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate? I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2),

  How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate?  I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive.  To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.

  How can I accomplish this? The program does not seem to give me the ability to specify a file to which to write the backup during a given session files.  In addition, I do not understand why I can not see the file name in Windows Explorer - my files options are defined to be able to view hidden and system.  Would be grateful for any help you can provide, tonight if possible.   Best regards, Oliver for Norm

• I have problems with anchors named in my htm file. I clearly identify them as being in the document (ie., internal links within the file).  When I preview the file in a browser, the links point to my hard drive, which is totally false. What do I need

  I have problems with anchors named in my htm file. I clearly identify them as being in the document (ie., internal links within the file).  When I preview the file in a browser, the links point to my hard drive, which is totally false. What should I do to change it?  I use DreamWeaver 2004 on a PC.

  You will need to correct the links that begin with "file".

  Now that your site has been defined, you just delete the bad links and DW left write the good ones for you.

  Click on the yellow folder on the property inspector, and then select the target page.

  

  If your site is small, you can edit the links manually (remove the part in red)

  It would be useful that post you your code on the page so that we can see if you use the old technique or new for these links.

• How to identify the type of HARD drive / Serialnr

  Hello community,

  I would like to know if it is possible to identify what HARD drive I have access in practice:

  In a scenario of esxi 5.5, I have 2 or 3 identical HDDs which can be distinguished by the ability of (identical), and the identifier that is advertised to Configuration-> storage. Here, I see only identifiers like naa.5002455784d568d3, but where I can see the manufacturer, the model and - if possible - the serial number of this device?

  I would like to know which physical hard drive, specifically, is assigned to my storage.  OK, I could stop the esxi system and remove all hard drives except one and find the ID but I can identify the HARD drive also directly in the vsphere client?

  Thank you for any suspicion!

  Greetings

  Tom

  Hi friend

  Use this command in your ESXi: # esxcfg - scsidevs - l | egrep-i ' display name. vendor'

• Memory full. HPW to identify and remove duplicate files. great western digital external hard drive is that it is not working properly

  hsving obvous problem assostated with little or no space drive. slow operion of progtams "program does not" and 'unable to write' trusted sites.

  Sometimes when the hard disk becomes incredibly full, you can even copy files to an external hard drive. In such cases, simply pull the disk and put in a USB external hard drive case. Attach it to a working computer and copy the data in this way, either on a drive in the system of work or another external hard drive (it will be slower). Delete the data out of the full disc.

  Help, please. Thanks in advance.

  You are welcome.  Thank you for the additional information.

  Here is a video that will explain a lot better I can of RAID 1.

• Dimension E310 will identify the 2nd HARD drive

  I am trying to add a 2nd HARD drive on my Dimension E310 (WinXP Media Center Edition 2005) without success.  I bought a naked WD10EZEX and 1.0 TB SATA cable and have physically installed the drive and connected the power cable from Garland.  SATA data cable is connected to the SATA-2 port.  When I go into the BIOS settings, the original boot drive 80 GB is recognized but the second disc of 1.0 TB is not.  I turned on the port, but the disc ID says 'unknown '.  If I spend two readers autour, the first hard disk (CT 1.0) is recognized but the second disc (the original 80 GB) drive ID: unknown.  BIOS is version A03 (08/10/05).  What I am doing wrong or do I not have a defective SATA-2 port?

  Hi, Osprey4.  Thanks for your suggestions.  I tried to connect just one drive at a time for the second SATA port, leaving the first open port and got the same results.  No disc has been recognized.  I chose to not reset the CMOS.  It seems the second port does not work.  I can accept and manage with just one port I have available with the larger HARD drive.

  Thanks again for your support.  I'll mark this thread as "resolved".

• Seagate external HARD drive expansion will not identify Windows 7 x 64. OK in a first time and fine on Vista x 86.

  Recently installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 Vista Home Premium x 86. Under Vista, everything was fine. Less than 7, my Seagate expansion (1.5 TB) hard drive initially was recognized (I have iTunes library I can't play to prove :)) after a few days using 7, however, I lost the external HARD drive. I get the error message is "software device driver is not properly installed." In Device Mgr, it says it's an "unknown device" with the yellow! triangle. "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) "appears in the details of the device. No updated drivers are available. Windows updates are up to date, nothing helps. Restart, reinstall, restore driver, deactivation, nothing works. Tried to update my BIOS, but it is already the latest version of Dell. Trying any other Dell Update, what it offers is the Download Manager, but not actual updates I select. I'm not allowed to use this player all of a sudden, after that it worked fine for a few days!

  Specific features of the system are as follows:

  Name of the operating system Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
  Version 6.1.7600 Build 7600
  Another Description of the OS is not available
  Manufacturer of operating system Microsoft Corporation
  System name PHIL-PC
  System manufacturer Dell Inc.
  Inspiron 530 s model system
  System Type x 64-based PC
  Processor Intel (r) Pentium (r) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00 GHz, 2000 Mhz, 2 Lossnay, 2 logical processors
  BIOS Version/Date Dell Inc. 1.0.18, 24/02/2009
  SMBIOS 2.5 version
  Windows directory C:\Windows
  System directory C:\Windows\system32
  Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume3
  Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "6.1.7600.16385".
  Physical memory (RAM) installed 4.00 GB
  Total physical memory 4.00 GB
  2.54 GB available physical memory

  Thanks in advance for any helpful info!

  All this occurred within three days of using Windows 7 x 64, so I don't think there is a previous restore point to go back to. However, I would not I install updates to be rendered unusable and allow my system, and their insecurity. And, as stated in my original post, I have gone through the drivers to uninstall or disable normal, remove, reinstall, etc. etc. without help.

  An update my original post, I finally got the unit of work, although not as fast as it was in Vista x 86. I did back up the device to a laptop from Vista Home Premium I have, let it load the drivers it needs, and then after reconnection to 7, it has been working well, but overall slowly in read/write functions and clicking on a lot more than he did primarily when operating. What I went through get this thing to work, I think that the currently loaded driver is for a 32 bit OS, and there is no update (again) for 64-bit. I leave it alone, because it is functional, and if it is not recognized after the next set of Windows updates, I guess I have to restore to a previous image.

  Dell doesn't seem to have anything for her, and Seagate plans explicitly on their site that they don't provide drivers for this HARD drive while referring to Microsoft or the manufacturer of the equipment for drivers.

• D610 will not identify 250G HARD drive

  I am trying to install a 250 G HARD drive in my D610.  I've updated the BIOS to version 08 (later), but it will only recognize the disk as 137G.

  Is there a limit on this computer?

  If so, how do I partition a hard drive?

  
  

• HP SimpleSave 500 GB external hard drive is identified however the data is not displayed

  Hi, I have a HP SimpleSave 500 GB external hard drive. Till a month back I had copied, files, documents, mp3 etc in this player. And a few weeks back when I plugged it to recover some data on this subject, I was unable to see any folder in which I had copied the same. In the properties it shows to me that about 120 GB is used, which some how make sure that data are on it, however, due to an unexplained error, I am unable to see. Any help will be appreciated.

  Hi TinmanSav,

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: Run the hardware and devices Troubleshooter and see if it makes a difference.

  Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

  Method 2: I suggest you disable and re-enable the USB controller and check.

  Use Device Manager to disable and re-enable all the USB controllers. This allows controllers to recover the port USB of his condition does not respond. USB controllers represent the USB ports in Device Manager.

  To disable and re-enable the USB controllers, follow these steps:

  a. click Start, type "Device Manager" in the start search box and press ENTER.

  b. Expand Universal Serial Bus of controllers.
  
  Note: You need to scroll the list to find this point.

  c. right-click on the first USB controller under Bus USB controllersand then click Uninstall to remove it.

  d. Repeat steps above for each controller USB is listed under Bus USB controllers.

  e. restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically check for changes on the hardware and reinstall all USB controllers that you uninstalled.

  f. check the USB device to see if it works.

  Method 3: Check if the external hard drive is recognized in disk management and assign a drive letter to the same.

  To open disk management, follow these steps:

  ·         Click Start, type disk management in the start search box and press enter.

  If the drive is detected in disk management, I suggest you to assign a drive letter and see if that does the trick.

  For instructions, see this article:

  Change, add, or remove a drive letter

  You can also check the external hard drive on another computer.

  Let us know if that helps.

• New installation of Windows 7 will not identify the second internal hard drive

  Attempted recently to upgrade a computer running the SP3 of XP to Windows 7.  Bought the new FULL version of 7.
  Have two 1 t Seagate Barracuda SATA drives on board; Operating system in partition 1 of disk C:. second disc to store data only.

  Several unsuccessful attempts to install 7, but with helpful suggestions, others on this forum, (i.e., update of the BIOS, re-formatting drive C to do a clean install, etc.) finally managed to a successful installation.

  All right, except that it does not find my second hard drive.  I have the disks attached ports SATA 1 & 2, but the system reads them so much as the C: drive.  The second disc appears in the BIOS Setup and Explorer as just the C: drive.

  Tried to change the SATA port for second drive to 3 and 4 with the same result.  It always appears as the C: drive.

  How can I get the systΦme can recognize the drive, so it can be assigned to a drive letter and I can access?  I suspect that the reformatting of the first disc for installation probably erased some boot sector/configuration info.

  A side issue: before attempting to upgrade to XP, I backed up my "Documents and Settings" on an external drive.  Now that XP is passed to the computer, can I continue to use Windows Easy Transfer to retrieve all my settings and info from the program, or who's going to screw me up?

  Check if the hard drive is assigned to a drive letter in disk management.

  Click Start, right click on computer

  Click on management of

  Expand disk management

  Select your external hard drive if its posted here

  Make a right click paths and change drive letter

  Restart your computer, open the computer in the start menu and see if it shows then.

• Identify the second hard drive

  I have a Pavilion dv7-6175us contained a 750 GB hard drive on the card.  At this time, HP sold some similar portable with dual 320 GB drives, but none has been mentioned on this issue on this model.  So I predicted, there would be a free Bay on the disc.  Yet there are two disks.  I checked the HP System utility and on records, he lists a disk 0 with 4 partitions: (0) 199MB, (1) 684 GB, GB of 14.34 (2) and (3) 102,87 MB.  Under the heading of disks, it shows a 684 GB C:, D: 14.34 GB (recovery) and F: 98.87 MB (FAT32 HP Tools).  Nothing lists a disc 1.  Can someone tell me what is the second disc?

  I did some additional research for this series of laptop and came across this maintenance and service guide.
  http://goo.GL/C3uNc

  Page 6 lists configurations available hard drive that came with this series. According to her, the 750 GB configuration is a double hard drive configuration. However, this adds not enough upward. It is noted that the maintenance and care guide for all series within the d7-6000 family.

  Two hard drives of 750Go total, they will have to be 375 GB for each hard drive following the common practice of using two identical hard disks.
  375 GB is not a standard size or that I've ever seen for a hard drive.

  Looks like that hard disks have not been removed after reviewing a previous post. Because of the conflicting information from HP sources, would it be possible for the two drives be removed temporarily to inspect? I suspect a step maybe a hard disk but a shell of one to serve as a placeholder.
  Once removed, the hard drive must be written on them. If they are both hard drives, please post back the size displayed on them. As I have already said, standard RAID practices should not lead to 750Go.

  I really hate for your purchase of hard disk to be in vain.
