If my hard drive is replaced

Does this mean I don't have the ability to record sounds on my computer without an external mic and also means that my video card has been compramised? Because when I save on my webcam that is not ringing and when I try to record only a sound he does more. I also used to be able to used windows movie maker and windows DVD Creator. I can no longer uses because it says something about the video card.

If your hard drive is replaced, and the computer restored/retrieved from reputable, responsible (s) tech, it should work in all directions, as expected. However, if there are problems with the hardware or software in addition to or apart from the problem with HD, this problem or these problems will have to be diagnosed and fixed as well.

  • Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

    Hello

    I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
    I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

    Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
    Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

    So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

    Thank you

  • Can I use my old external hard drive after replacing SSDS?

    I recently bought a replacement of SSD for my hard drive.  A friend suggested I have get a box for the old man and keep it in a backup or extra.  I was wondering how difficult that would be, and I would be able to run applications from her?

    -Matt H.

    Yes, your friend is good, just buy a USB box for this and then you, it's like any other external hard drive. You can get these 10 pounds and more, but you get what you pay for.

    Simply open the screw in the naked reader, plug, close the case and you are done. It's very simple to do.

    Windows 7 upgrade Advisior gives me the ok to proceed with the transfer.  But, I think I need to upgrade the hard drive and a solid state, it will do the trick.

    So the information I need, what is disk hard solid state, I need to replace the Maxtor & 6Y080L0 (81.96 GB drive)

    Rev [edited moderator Serial Number] s/n YAR41VWO.

    Thank you very much for the help.

    Unfortunately, it won't work.

    Your desktop PC old venerable uses don't suport not the SATA interface and IDE hard disks. He certainly gave you several (10) years of great service.

    SSDS use the SATA interface.

    There is none of the hard drives SSD IDE on the market.

  • HP Pavilion 15-p263nl: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion p263nl 15 Notebook PC & Windows 10

    Hi all!

    I intend to add an SSD for my HP Pavilion p263nl-15 Notebook PC. I found some sites that I can remove the optical drive and put a second drive using a caddy adapter in the optical drive Bay. I found that some people on the forum did it successfully, but nothing on my PC model. I want to know if he could work with my product.

    In other words, there is my plan:

    1 remove the real disk HDD hard bay and replace it with the new SSD.

    2. remove the optical drive and replace it with the adapter caddy containing my old HDD.

    3. do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD using a USB key recovery made with my real Windows 10 system (which has been updated from Windows 8.1 July 2016).

    I already have a 120 GB OCZ SSD (OCZ Vertex 3).

    I have a few questions before buying the adapter:

    1 - the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) are recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows, 10)? Is there a limit to a unique HARD/SSD disk drive on the computer?

    2 should. What size the card be? I found offers for 9.5 mm and 12.7 mm that are supposed to be suitable for HP Pavilion in general

    3 - these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? You can expect any problems with this upgrade?

    4 - clean install Windows 10 quote, because I intend to install it on a different drive than the one I used to create the key USB recovery flash? I have never done a clean install of Windows before.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Alessandro

    p.s. in this section of the forum (where I took most of the post), the solution worked almost perfectly, but it's a different product of the Pavilion 15 ^^

    Hello

    1. Yes,

    2. your machines use 9.5 mm SATA Tray,

    3 problem? I can't answer this question because who knows nothing until the track.

    4. I don't know how you create USB recovery but a good new installation should work.

    Kind regards.

  • HP dv6 envy: want to know on the best internal hard drive to replace it with

    Hi friends... I return my hp dv6 want 3 years and it has worked well for me so far, but since last month, everytime I turn on my laptop, a message is popping indicating that YOUR HARD DISK has FOUND YEAR IMMINENT FAILURE AND there NEED TO BE REPLACED and I studied a lot of posts here regarding this problem and everyone was asked to replace it with a new one. I don't know what drive should I replace it with. Could someone please help me in this regard. I need the following details:

    1. where can I find new internal hard drive HP ENVY DV6 1 to buy?

    2. can we replace this hard drive with the hard drive to other companies? (such as seaggate)... If so, so, please let me know

    3. can I replace the hard drive with a hard drive of 1 to solid state?

    4. links to vendors who sell internal hard drive?

    Please help me friends...

    The answer is Yes in all areas. The laptop will accept any 2.5 inch wide disk SATA 9.5 or 7 mm thick and which includes mechanical hard drives and Solid State drives. Where are you located (one country)? Hard drives and SSDS for laptops are a part of the goods. You can pick them up at a Best Buy or Frys if you live where there are no Frys or you can use amazon.com or newegg.com or similar online service. The prices vary a lot, so it is useful to get a good deal. A 1 to SSD can run more than $300, you know. Need instructions for installing and/or migrating software?

  • HP Pavilion 15-e073ca: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion e073ca 15 Notebook PC & Windows 10

    Hello!

    I intend to add an SSD in my two years 15-e073ca HP Pavilion Notebook PC. I found some sites that I can remove the optical drive and put a second drive using a caddy adapter in the optical drive Bay. I found that some people on the forum did it successfully, but nothing on my PC model. I want to know if he could work with my product.

    3. do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD, using a recovery USB stick made with my system Windows 10 real (which has been updated from Windows 8.1).

    I plan to purchase the following parts:

    1 - a HDD / SSD cart adapter for HP Pavilion 15 (model OBHD9-SATA-SATA-BU9), of NewmodeUS (http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=583)

    2 - a SSD 128 GB (article SDSSDHP - 128G), SanDisk (http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/ultra-plus/?capacity=128gb)

    I have a few questions before I buy parts:

    1 - the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) are recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows, 10)? Is there a limit to a unique HARD/SSD disk drive on the computer?

    2 - the height of the SSD is 7mm, and it seems that my old HDD is 9.5 mm in height (model WDC WD10JPVT-60A1YT0). It would cause no problem (I need to add spacers)?

    3 - these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? You can expect any problems with this upgrade?

    4 - clean install Windows 10 quote, because I intend to install it on a different drive than the one I used to create the key USB recovery flash? I have never done a clean install of Windows before.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Haghe

    Your plan is perfect. The SSD to will of 7 mm that always come back fine it just will be lower in the caddy. The holes and SATA connections are in the same place as a hard drive of 9.5 mm. You can use a spacer (many SSD include one in the box) but not really necessary.

    Installing SSD for Windows 10 the way you expect is not really "own", that he will again introduce files and programs, in my opinion and certainly drivers. Whatever it is, it works perfectly and activates the old installation has been enabled.

    The hard disk in the optical adapter will not be bootable and will transfer the data a bit slower than a drive in the main compartment, but will still be usable for most cases. If you need fast input/output like Photoshop or video editing move the job file to the first SSD. Alternatively, you may wish to consider documents and photos and other migration on the HARD drive to keep the 128 GB SSD to fill. You can right-click on these files and select 'place' and move them. After the back if you need some help with that.

    Enjoy.

  • Broken hard drive repair/replacement

    My 2 year old g580 Lenovo specifications had a hard drive failure where the use of the disc works 100% or at a constant pressure, even if it is inactive. I thought it was a problem too so I bought a Lenovo approved hard drive. Then I read that the OS is attached hard disk.

    I was wondering what course of action, I must take, I read that it is possible to migrate the operating system with some 3rd party software, although it seems a little fishy and I would rather see my alternatives. Is there a way to have a windows replacement drive sent me, or another way to get windows on my laptop?

    Then the product key shoul is a chip on the motherboard.

    If after installation of Windows 8, it should detect the key of the product itself.

    You need only install the new hard drive in your system and install windows 8.

  • System Restore op after failure of HARD drive and replacement

    Hello

    I have an old laptop dv9000 with XPPro factory installed SP2, since upgraded to SP3. The hard drive failed (Seagate 80Gig). I checked with the test of the bios Setup, he said "fail" and I checked by booting from the windows installation disc CD player. He said, not found hard drive. SO, I bought a disc bytes of more 1 t (same mfr Seagate, same 5400 RPM) and installed. I have a backup network (Seagate Black armor) drive and I was able to restore the last backup. The booted cd drive the recovery disc for this program, the hard drive light blinking and it seemed to be something for 3 hours, then told it was full.

    But the new drive does not start. I've read on this forum and of the joint recommendation was to use the system provided with the laptop recovery disks. I dug through the boxes in the garage and have found the system recovery discs and my 14 cd makes system restore. :-) makes to keep unwanted sometimes. But I tried the system recovery disk and it will not start in the cd player. I get a white screen with the cursor in the left flashing top. I went back to try the recovery of Seagate disk, and now it will not start either. I tried to remove the new HARD drive. with or without a cd in the player it displays the message "No Op sysytem found." SO I think that something touched the CDdrive. But it is interesting with the blinking cursor will restart the machine, then perhaps a part of the op system is loaded.

    It is an old machine, the old system of the op. I shopped Hp store and only Windows8 available now. SO I am forced either on the cutting edge with all new bugs and learning curve, or I'm trying to get this old lady will machine. Other things I've linked, hard reset, restore the default bios.

    Ideas that you may have will be appreciated.

    Hello

    The laptop is back running with the new hard drive, Yay! and a new cd player.

    Here's what he had to, for anyone who has ever has the same problem:

    The CD player was bad. The nearest local supplier on the list for assistance parts hp gave me was a suitable replacement. I installed, and the system restore disc started and ran immediately.  I decided to check and see if the windows install disc would go and restore the sytem since I thought that I had already restored the entire C: partition. He started, but did not find the hard drive. He gave an eror message that does no drive found.  I went to the hp system restore disc and running. It took several hours reformatted the drive (by removing everything I'd put) and rebooted several times. Eventually, he came with a windows desktop computer. This is the factory installed there are over 5 years old. I installed the Seagate backup software and running. He seemed to have more options running in windows he did directly from the boot cd. One of the options was to restore the MBR. I had to find out what it was, Master Boot Record. I thought that it should be restored. The full restoration of the backup process C: took another few hours, but he finished and gave a message of the operation successfully.

    Then I rebooted and got windows, connected and got my office logon screen as it was at the time of the backup. Success.

    In the future, I'll watch that restore MBR, maybe it's there, and I missed it the first time. I have a slight nagging worry that maybe something else caused both drives to fail almost at the same time. But I'm not going to fuss with it. I hope that the machine works well for a little longer.

    Thanks to those who have tried to help.

  • How can I put in a new hard drive to replace the main HD that crashed and that contains the operating system

    My HD C: broke down and needs to be replaced.  It contained the operating system (XP).  My other drive is OK.  I have all the original cdroms, including the operating system.
    I need to know if I should be careful what it is.

    Hello Nigel

    Each hard drive is different with their adjustment as far as riders go unless you have purchased the same exact model. Make sure that you set the jumpers on the correct setting for the new hard drive with the manual that came with the hard drive. You can also reconnect the cables of data and power supply for the reader who does not appear because they can be loosened.
  • Pavilion HPE H8-1234: what hard drive to replace current for Pavilion H8-1234

    The hard drive I have now is HDS721010CLA630 SCSI Disk Device with 1 TB.  This is bad.

    I know its SATA 7200 rpw, NTFS but otherwise unknown and I'm not a computer geek. Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit

    I use Carbonite reflection WD 4 TB my book external hard drive and my current hard drive (going bad) is now imaged. I was told the new replacement hard drive should be similar, a little bigger is ok, but cannot change otherwise the card mother or any other pilots, summer, etc or the restore image will not work.

    What features of hard drive do I buy that resemble what is the system now? The new hard disk can be bigger (2 TB would be great), but most of another must be similar to the mirror image can be used to restore as well as Win 7 Pro and Outlook 7 configurations and all to a new internal hard drive.

    Western Digital, Seagate seem reliable, but I'm unable to understand other descriptions such as sata 3.0 vs 6.0, red, black, cache memory 64 MB instead of 32 MB whatever that means? What should I choose?

    Any thoughts on what kind of buy that is compatible with the motherboard and others on my system would be very welcome!

    Thank you very much!

    Hello.

    On descriptions of hard drives, HARD drive cache refers to the amount of data, the drive is able to get ready for treatment. Essentially the more Mo - better, but as Big_Dave says:

    «the performance between a cache 32 MB or 64 MB would be negligible unless your PC is running an interactive application of DB.»

    SATA is a computer bus interface that is a standard for connecting hard drives in the computer systems. There are three types that are retro-compatible and have different transfer rates - SATA I is 1.5 Gb/s, SATA II 3.0 Gb/s and SATA III is 6.0 GB/s.

    Regarding the colours of WD, each player has a build-in features specific which makes it good for different purposes. So according to what you are going to do the HARD drive, I recommend a different color.

    For example, WD Blue is a regular daily reader that is most commonly used for ordinary calculation, workloads and play of light and combined with SSD. He is quite able to run most of the games as well as many programs for editing or programming. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=S7uxm7

    WD Green is your energy-efficient drive that works cool, calm, and saves a lot of energy. It is designed for secondary storage and backups, and these characteristics allow it to be an excellent choice for quiet versions of backup or archiving. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=iTh9tK

    WD Black is the record of performance of the consumer of WD. It is the fastest among them and has a built-in dual-core CPU that makes the ideal player for multitasking. It is designed for heavy games, large workloads and the intensive use of file. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=hSoUcT

    Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

    See you soon!
