Install the new disk on Tecra M2

Hello

I have a laptop Tecra M2 HARD drive abandoned a year ago and served in a drawer since I'm keen to get it up and running again, but wonder if I should buy a HDD that is specific to use in it and what is involved?

My interpretation of it is that it's an IDE HDD that is needed, any 2.5 "IDE HDD off ebay will work or do I need to buy a specific brand, because they are not all in the United Kingdom listed for the M2.

If a generic IDE HDD will work in the laptop (like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HITACHI-30GB-IDE-ATA-PATA-2-5-LAPTOP-HARD-DRIVE-HDD_W0QQitemZ320332706439QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Com puting_HardDrives_RL? hash = item320332706439 & _trksid =p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1300|66%3A4|65%3A12|3 9% 3 a 1 | 3A 1318 240%) are additional media required or should he just fit into the laptop?

Then, once I inserted the HARD drive in the laptop computer and turned on, is there anything else necessary or should just be able to get to the top and running with a disc o/s?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Hello

You are right. Tecra M2 must 2.5 IDE HARD drive and you can use it on eBay, but if you must buy new HARD drive I recommend buying the HARD disk with the largest capacity supported. Tecra HDD supports 30 GB HARD drive; 40 GB; 60 GB; 80 GB capacity.

Tecra M2 is cute laptop and if you want to use it for a longer period of time buy 80 GB and be happy. You will have enough space to save a lot of different data.

  • Problems after installing the new disk in the Satellite M70 151

    I have a Satellite M70-151 the hard drive gave up and was unreadable, before that I was using with my desktop via a router, that it worked very well. I had no option but to install a new hard drive now in System Manager, I get of the yellow question marks against:

    First of all, we should start with basic information;
    The M70-151 Sat belongs to the series of PSM71E that's why you should choose this issue of the European driver Toshiba page if you want to download the correct drivers.

    _You will need these drivers: _

  • I installed the full version LavVIEW 8.6. I tried to upgrade to the professional version 8.6 by simply installing the new discs, and it has not upgraded. What do I need to uninstall, or is there a trick?

    I installed the full version LavVIEW 8.6.  I tried to upgrade to the professional version 8.6 by simply installing the new disks, and it didn't perform the upgrade.  First, I have to uninstall and reinstall, or is there a trick?

    Look in the License Manager in the National Instruments of your Start menu folder.  This is probably just a matter of activating LabVIEW 8.6 and maybe some other features with your new code license rather than your previous full version license code.

    Generally no.
     
    How many memory currently have installed? How did you buy?
    Did you buy exactly the same type, brand, model, etc. ?
     
    Why do you want more memory? Depending on how much you have now, and
    What applications you are running, it may or may not do anything for you. More memory
    is this not better for everyone. This is my standard message on this
    Object:
     
    The amount of RAM you need to good performance is * not * a
    unique situation for all. You get good performance if the amount of
    RAM you have prevents you from using the file page in a meaningful way, and
    It depends on what applications you are running. Most of the people a typical range running
    Enterprise XP applications find that somewhere around 512 MB
    works well, others need more. Almost everyone will see poor performance
    with less than 256 MB. Some people, especially those who do things
    as modification of large photographic images, can see an improvement in performance by
    adding even more 512 MB - sometimes much more.
     
    If you currently use the page file significantly, more memory
    will reduce or eliminate the use and improve your performance.
    If you do not use the pagefile significantly, it will make more memory
    nothing for you. Reach
    WinXP - 2K_Pagefile.zip and monitor your use of the page file. Who should
    give you a good idea of more memory can help and if so, how
    lots more.

    You have 35% of your hard drive free. It's disk space, also called
    storage. It is not memory, what is RAM. Adding memory will not make
    any changes to the available disk space.

  • Satellite A300-RJ1 - cannot install the new graphics driver from Intel page

    Hello.

    Another problem.
    When I use the "integrated" Vista, I can not install the new graphics driver (intel inside).
    Whenever the error message: the driver is not validated by your system, please contact your producer.

    So if I install a clean windows, so I can install the new graphics driver: S and I want to install because it is much more recently than the preinstalled :(

    Hi mate

    You can install this driver, but you need to use different installation procedure.
    You must install it in the Device Manager.

    Here, you can choose Advanced Setup, then choose don't search. I will choose the driver, then point to the driver files that you have stored on the HARD disk and complete the installation.

    But note; I read here that the use of non-Toshiba drivers is always at your own risk

  • HP EliteBook 8440p: Best boot option after installing the new hard drive and put to memory.

    I just installed the new hard drive for my laptop and will get the cards of two memory installed tomorrow. I would like advice on what would be the best option to start when the laptop for the first time I'm on fire.

    I have the original Windows HP recovery disk came with the computer.

    I also have a recovery disc and a system image on disks created with Macrium Reflect two days ago.

    I also have a recovery disc and a system image is created on an external hard drive Seagate two days ago. (I've read mixed reviews on these is currently working as a media of rescue with Win7 Pro).

    I guess if I use the HP recovery disc I would be then just use any system image I prefer, without the recovery disk. Anyone know if it makes a difference at all which method to use?

    bozzle73

    My recommendation would be to restore using the image of MR (Macrium Reflect) you did.

    But then, I used Mr. on all my PCs for years and am a big fan - having had it Miss ever in the years and years of use.

    You will need boot from the boot of MR media (you did that right) and, if you photographed all the required partitions for the operating system, restore it on the new drive should take a few minutes, and when this is done, you reboot and everything should be OK.

    Good luck

  • I can't install the second disk sata hard

    I have a problem when install the second disk sata hard
    I bought a new one 500 GB and I installed windows xp sp3
    and it works well I plugged in SATA 0 port
    When I want to install a second sata hard disk 320 on sata 1
    and it has an important data, windows will reboot, and do
    blue screen sometimes 'NTFS.sys"or"SCSIPORT.sys.
    and it is written "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".
    If someone help me what should I do or there is no FIX for this problem.

    in the BIOS I have regcognized both hard drivers:
    IDE pri master 500 GB
    PRI IDE slave 320
    Second master IDE-
    Second slave IDE-
    PORT SATA - 0
    SATA 1 - PORT

    I plugged the IDE 2 cd-rom

    ----------
    Specification of the device:
    Windows xp sp3
    card mother gigabyte 848P
    Intel ICH5
    Intel 8I848p775-g
    Celeron D Socket 775

    You said that the hard drives are sata but your bios recognizes them as IDE depending on your position. You might have to set your bios to operate in sata mode or enable AHCI of have recognized them as sata. Regarding the error you get, look in the system BIOS to boot from hard disk command menu. This is different from the command menu of usual starting where you choose each time you start a cd ROM or hard drive ect... The parameter that I refer to determine which hard drive of your computer starts on the first. Change to the primary master 500 GB disk > save your settings and restart your computer. Even if one is defined as main and the other slave is not serious. Some bios have the ability to choose what hard drive to boot from. In other words, it is adjustable to start first on the slave drive.

    Hi jamesgillwn,

    1. when exactly you get this error message?
    2. what disc do you use to reinstall?
    3. What is the exact error that appears when you try to start?
    4. at what point of the installation you get the error message?

    After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.

    First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.

    To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.

    Try the steps from the following link:

    Error message when you try to install Windows Vista by using the DVD drive on the computer: "Windows cannot install required files".

    Note: When you perform the installation, you will lose the data, make sure that you need to backup your data before you perform the installation.

  • Installed the new HD - cannot set up (XPS 400)

    Hello and congratulations in advance for anyone who can help me with this!

    Recently, my Dell XPS 400 crashed and would no longer boot (it worked, but it wouldn't boot because of damage to the discs dual-core).  I decided to buy a new HD to replace the old thinking that would solve my problem... not so much.  So here's what I've done and the question:

    (1) I took out a secondary drive, replaced by my OLD main drive

    (2) I installed the NEW drive into the slot where my OLD main drive used to reside

    (3) for the reset, I reached a display using the key CTRL-I command that told me that I now had a disc in which I could use to 'mirror' of the old drive, which is now bootable.  Of course, I followed the instructions to do this in order to get my computer started.

    (4) while the process worked, it seems that my NEW drive disappeared completely and I have not reached my goal to replace my old hard drive AND my computer, it starts now, always gives me error messages and does not occur at the height.

    Can someone help with this problem who is familiar with what I'm on everything?  I would be eternally grateful!

    Theoretically, I want to do is to completely replace the hard drive with my new drive, use the old BACKUP disk as the new secondary drive and plug the OLD external drive for me to remove files that I need them.  A small crease is that I do not have the Windows XP disks for the software that came with my old computer and I am unable to get them, however, I don't have the disks copied on a separate disk, which seemed to work for the resettlement, but I'm not sure of whether or not it would work on a hard drive completely blank.

    In any case, could someone provide any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Linux has to read your old files very well.  It is not the OS, you need to worry, but instead, the applications you want to use.  For example, you were using different Microsoft Office to create data files, you would find that in order to make the use of these old files, you need something that is compatible with Microsoft Office to read or modify.  Fortunately, there are applications that can do it.  Open Office is one of them, and I'm fairly certain that they have a version that runs on Linux.  The only thing you will not be able to do it is using Microsoft Office because it will not install on Linux.  You will encounter similar problems with each type of file that you created.  In most cases, you will be able to find compatible substitutes for original programs, but there are exceptions.

    EDIT: I have to say that I forgot to mention that I'm talking about Windows XP in the paragraphs above with regard to service packs.  If you use Vista or later, the Council does not apply.

    I have heard many good things about the different themes of Linux, but like anything else, I'm sure he has his own set of problems.  Most people seem to not run into them very often, and many just love it because it helps to avoid many problems presented by Windows.

    If you really want to go back to Windows, and people of Dell cannot accommodate you at a price you will find reasonable, you could try e - Bay or similar online store.  It is my understanding that a lot of people sell their old floppy disks to install OEM Dell through this kind of output.  You need an installation CD of Windows from Dell that incorporates at least Service Pack 2, and Service Pack 3 would be nice.  The old installation diskettes don't work well on many computers produced since 2005 because of the change of PCI - e for the video.  Older drives simply do not have the drivers for the PCI-e bus.  If your computer is old enough to use AGP or earlier, it is not so much a problem.

    The computer is always looking for your old disks because the BIOS setting told him to do.  When you delete a record permanently, you should return to the controller settings in the system setup (F2 during the automatic test after a start screen) and stop the ports having no disc attached.  This allows the BIOS to know to ignore these ports.

    EDIT: I have to say that I forgot to mention that I wrote about Windows XP in the present paper dealing with service packs.  Floppy disks to install Windows occurs more early than those with Service Pack 2 have no drivers for video PCI-e which is used on most computers since 2005.  You don't need to worry about this problem for Vista or later version.

  • my laptop was preloaded and hard drive crashed. Do I have to buy a new drive to install the new hard drive?

    My laptop that I bought in January this year has been preloaded with windows 7 starter. I don't have the installation disc. What I have to buy one in order to install the new hard disk

    Have you given up on trying to resolve why the computer won't start? You will need to provide more information about what happens when you try to start the computer. There are several reasons for which a computer does not start and a damaged operating system is only one. Please describe in detail what happens when you press the button.

    Remember that a computer bought in January 2011 is very likely still covered by the warranty.

    In the event of failure of the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) system, if that's what you see, for most users there is sufficient time to fully record what he says. the exact text is important for anyone trying to diagnose what is wrong. You can save time when the error occurs then by following the procedure described below.

    If you already did it disable the auto reboot system error. This should help by allowing the time to write the code to Stop error and related information correctly. Select Start, do a right-click on computer select Properties, advanced, system settings startup and recovery, system failure and uncheck the box before automatically restarting. Re-do not enable automatic restart in the event of system failure after obtaining this information, this setting is the best left to not allow an automatic restart.

    If the failure occurs during the initialization of the computer, you need to try a different approach. You can access the Advanced Options Menu of Windows on multiple computers by constantly pressing the F8 (key) key when starting and selecting the option - disable automatic restart in case of system error. This method is not always easy to use because it may be difficult to press the F8 key at the right time. Try again if it doesn't work the first time. On some computers, a different key must be used.

    You can get the computer to boot by following the advice in the following link:

  • Install the new hard drive - how to proceed?

    My hard drive has bad sectors which (according to Spinrite) is not repairable.  I also ran all the HP utilities who tell me that the hard drive needs to be replaced.  So, I bought a new one that is the same size and the brand as what exists currently in my laptop.

    Laptop is HDX16 that came with Vista.  I upgraded to Win7 before realizing that my Imaging backups were a failure due to bad sectors.  The last good picture I have with Shadow Protect is the system with Vista and is now 3 weeks old.  Meanwhile, I use Norton Security backup feature to back up all my files on a daily basis.   I noticed yesterday that Win7 has a built-in backup feature imagery so decided to see if she would complete successfully and he did.  So now, I have a picture of the Win7 installation as well.

    I did system recovery disks for my laptop.  If I read information of HP correctly, when I run the restore, it will automatically create the partitions C & D on the new drive, install the recovery disk D environment and continues to run since that installation of Vista hard disk?  If so, once the operating system is running on the hard drive again, I think I can then move to Win7 yet and then use the recovery feature to copy the image, I made yesterday to the laptop.  Is this correct?  Am I missing something?

    Otherwise, my other option would be to run the recovery discs, then use the Shadow protect recovery disks to copy the old image of 3 weeks, then switch to Win7 again and somehow find all the files I have created/changed over the last 3 weeks I want to keep and they copy to the laptop?

    Any suggestions appreciated because this is the first time I installed a new hard drive.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It may be faster to simply restore the image of Windows 7 that you have created the new hard - to do this, you'll need to the Image and a Windows 7 repair CD (you should have been prompted to do this after you have created the Image of the system).  The link below is a guide detailing how to restore an Image of Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

  • GarageBand wasn't able to install the new sounds

    I'm under GarageBand 10.1.2 & OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 on a Macbook Pro 13 retina "(2016).

    A couple of weeks, that I have installed additional drummers with no problems. I noticed, however, that many of the sounds in the sound library had an icon to download next to them; so I went to the GarageBand menu, option "Sound Library / download all the available sounds" and they begin to download immediately. Most of them have installed fine (and is still usable), but at some point the download has stopped and a window appeared with the message "GarageBand wasn't able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open GarageBand to download and install again. »

    Since then, whenever I open GarageBand, downloading continues automatically, but after a few minutes I get the same annoying message.

    I searched the Internet and tried all the following without success:

    (1) closed and reopened GarageBand

    (2) given in market system

    (3) delete the folder "/ private/var/folders/lq/nb_0wt4d1zq5rs933745flww0000gn ' and all its contents

    (4) remove the "user/Library/Caches" folder and all its contents

    (5) the latest version of Java from Oracle (update version 8 101 - build 1.8.0_101 - b13)

    I always feel the same frustrating lock when I open GarageBand (download starts and after a while it stops and the error message shows up again... and again once).

    I've included some screenshots on this post below, which illustrate the issue.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me with!

    Just to be sure - you have enough free storage to install all the new sounds? The instrument only GarageBand library has 14GB on my Mac.

    Until you try to install the sounds still launch the Console application and look for messages of diagnosis in the Console, when GarageBand gives the error message.  Are there clues, all messages associated with GarageBand in the Console window?

    Sometimes third part applications or incompatible system additions could cause this kind of problem, as firewall and antivirus software, for example, Little Snitch or Kaperski. If you have any of these installed, disable it before attempting to download the software.

    To prevent the non-standard extensions system to interfere, restart the Mac in Mode safe, before you try to install again, see: try safe mode if your Mac does not commissioning - Apple Support
