• Windows Vista install the new WD hard drive empty - does not not :(

  It was my original question: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/HP-Pavillion-a6645f-No-hard-drive-detected-BIOHD-2-err...

  And now...

  I got my CD of HP recovery and ordered a new WD 500 GB HDD... same features as the seagate who pooped me and I can't get windows install on the new HD

  No matter what I do, computer wants to open the Recovery Manager and according to the available procedure does not work.  It works me in circles asking for #1 drive, then the drive recovery supplement and back with no progress.

  What I have to do is use this form: http://vistahomepremium.windowsreinstall.com/installnewhdd/installnewhdd.htm but only the Recovery manager opens when I boot from the CD.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  If I followed your questions correctly... you had a BIOHD-2 error, ordered HP recovery discs, replaced the hard drive and tried to restore your system with no luck. Is that a correct assessment of the situation?

  OK, you need to make a Windows Vista install screen... not who's going to go with your HP recovery CD/DVD. The disks do not contain the Windows installation routine, only the HP Recovery Manager. These discs contain more or less, an image of the HP installed OS and software, plus some drivers and applications. To the best of my knowledge, you should have three DVDs (1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3/3) more an additional drive. You should boot from CD 1 of 3... Then, when asked to insert the 2/3... Then, when asked to insert 3/3. And finally if/when necessary additional drive.

• Buy the new internal hard drive

  I have HP Pavilion dv4-1242TX

  Recently, my original 320 GB (Western Digital Scorpio Blue - WD3200BPVT) internal hard drive crashed and become inadmissible.

  So now I want to buy a new 500 GB internal hard drive, but I'm confused if my laptop it will support or not.

  Internal hard drive WD Blue 500 GB laptop computer (WD5000BPVT / WD5000LPVX)

  MAIN FEATURES

  Other than the size, I see no difference between the two discs.  Just having the Recovery DVD set available and install the new drive, run the set of recovery and off you go.  If the old drive is toast, there's nothing else to do than to run the updates from Microsoft.

  Or install Windows 7, commercial version of your choice.

• Cannot read the old laptop hard drive attached again, says disk needs to be formatted

  Original title: hardware device

  I am trying to up load my old laptop the laptop to my new computer hard drive so that I can access my old files, but it is endlessly with need to format the new device this will clear all data? It only allows me to open the old hard drive at all? Please help I really need to have access to my old hard drive through my new laptop I have no other way to get the information out.

  Hello

  Yes if you format the drive it erases it's clean. Did you put the drive in the computer as the 2nd disc
  If the computer still starts off the coast of its original disk? It's easier to do on a desktop.

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
  Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or another USB
  readers. Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data. (This can be done with the player in the)
  original laptop. If the drive is viable (not totally dead).

  Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The reader might have been damaged and may not be easily accessible. There are professional
  companies that can recover data off a dead drive if it is a costly process.
  Check with a real computer store (one that makes its own service in the House and no leeks)
  and displays a Best Buy or other stores) or system manufacturer support.

  I hope this helps.

• Can I transfer to the new computer hard drive with the operating system

  I am building a new computer and want the best way to transfer my data.  I can transfer the data to a new SATA drive and then install the new drive in the new computer without having to do anything else.   Or I can install XP on the new computer first then do the transfer queue using the old IDE drive in a portable USB enclosure?  or?

  TKS

  John

  Sort that works is great.

  If you use the USB case, make sure that it can provide enough power to the drive.  Usually this isn't a problem if the old drive was a laptop computer but can be a problem if it was a desktop drive.

  Assuming that your old computer still works, the easiest is to put all the files you want to transfer to a folder, and then share this folder on the network.  Connect both computers to your home network, then simply attach to the shared folder on the network from the other computer and drag and drop your files to your new computer.

• Satellite L500-128 using recovery on the new (larger) HARD drive discs

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba L500-128, the original 320 GB hard drive is just too small and I would like to avoid buying an external hard drive (for backup purposes), because in my experience, they are just rubbish and I want that all my data on the laptop.

  I wanted to buy a new hard drive 1 tb (maybe 2) put into it, I guess it is equipped to deal with, (Please someone correct me if they know otherwise) with 4 GB of ram...

  In any case I am really wondered, whether or not I can get out with the help of my new hard disk recovery disks.
  If they did it the old-fashioned way (sending an OS disc and a disc of pilots) I wouldn't even question, but as I created disks of the computer itself, I wasn't too sure when I opened the drives upward to make sure all burned on them ok, I never saw something like what I expected.

  Also, I read somewhere that someone else has tried it and it didn't work, they assumed because the recovery included an image specifically to fit the original hard drive size?

  Can someone enlighten us all please?

  Thank you

  Hello

  First, you must create the Toshiba Recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called pre-installed tool.
  Usually, you should receive a confirmation message that the recovery was created successfully.
  This means that you can use this disk to restore the laptop to factory settings is not serious what HARD drive is in use.
  This means that the recovery disc should work with the other drives.

  But note; This recovery disk using would format the HARD drive and remove all HARD drive partitions. But this should not bother you if you use the disk HARD vacuum ;)

• Satellite Pro M30, it is recommended to install the new nVIDIA display driver?

  I own a laptop Satellite Pro M30, which includes a GeForce FX Go5200 GPU from nVIDIA. On 27 July, nVIDIA has released a new driver and related software (version 61.77), as indicated by nVIDIA, fits all the its GPU.

  I tried to install this new driver on my laptop (after removing the old driver following the instructions by nVIDIA) but it does not install. Does anyone have an idea why?

  Why the new driver is not displayed on the Toshiba support site driver for this laptop?

  Hello

  All drivers are designed and tested to laptops and Tom is right about producer for laptop. This means that you can find the download page for all drivers needed on Toshiba.

  As much I know Toshiba supports the drivers shipped with the device drivers and updates if necessary.

• Satellite L50 - A-1 DG - with the new SSD HARD drive replacement

  Satellite L50 - A - 1 DG

  I would put my SSD in the PC and install win7 on it. But it does not work.

  I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

  I tried to replace the SSD hard drive. Then the pc cannot start up. And I can't get into the bios or adjustment.

  Someone knows what's the problem?

  > I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

  This does not work with all models of laptops.
  As far as I know that the laptop must support Slim Select Bay and the BIOS should also support this hardware option. But in your case, it doesn t.

  One possible solution is the use of SOLID-STATE drive instead of the HARD disk.

  You said that you are not able to access the BIOS after these updates.
  Well, before you do this (a SSD drive connection) you should access the BIOS and must disable secure boot and must set the start mode MSC mode.

  The comments appreciated.

• Re: Satellite P500-12F - cannot install the new nVidia display driver

  Good evening

  I'm sorry for stupid question, but I don't know what to do. I have the Satellite P500-12F.

  I tried to download the new graphics drivers for the NVidia card, I went to the site of NVidia and downloaded a new driver, which dates back to December 2009, instead of mine, which is July 2009, however, when I try to install it, the system indicates that Joana does no hardware that is compatible with the new driver.

  Could you tell me, what am I doing wrong? I could use any guidance as well. Thank you very much!

  Hello

  Why you try to use the nVidia display driver? These drivers are not pre-tested on the laptop and installation is at your own risk! In the worst case, you could destroy the graphics chip.

  As Akuma written already using the latest drivers Toshiba because they are pre-tested.

  Why you want to update the display driver? You are not satisfied?
  Remember: never change a running system! ;)

• After installing the new disk hard Windows XP tells me that I have to reactivate.

  original title: problem after the activation of the product

  I put a new hard drive in my computer and activated with microsoft. When I restarted my computer, I get a window saying I need to activate my copy. If I click No, it restarts the computer, if I close Yes it says it is already activated and when I click ok it reboots the computer

  Start in safe mode, install SP2, SP3 install.

  Reboot in normal mode, it should work. I think that it maybe an old cd rather than the last version supplied with certificate of authenticity.

• Historical files Windows 8 will not recognize the new external hard drive

  I just bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio) with Windows 8Pro (System op 64-bit, Intel I7, 1THD).  One of the reasons is that I have approached Win8, is I liked the concept of the new 'File History' backup utility  I started to use the computer with an ext WD My Guide of the HD and the history of the files seemed to work.  Then the drive external hard went wrong and I just bought a new WD My Passport 2 t ext HD.  Historical files will not recognize this drive.  He keeps asking the old drive.  When I attached the new drive and go to the screen "Select drive", it says "no usable drives are detected.  Please connect a drive... "I know that the drive is there because I see under 'My computer' and I can copy files to it.  But the history of the files do not recognize.  WD, I called and they helped me to update drivers and even made a update firmware on the drive, but nothing is done.  I tried several fixes suggested in a few links Microsoft 'how file history works... '. «, «What to do if the file history works more...» ", etc, but all without success. The tech also remote BestBuy Geek squad my computer and tried EVERYTHING and could not get it to succeed.  BTW, it's not the HD post because put us on another computer to WIN 8 and Hx file found immediately.  Tech people thought that it was a deep registry with Win 8 problem and their only suggestion was to reimage my computer with the original recovery disk.  But who is going to cost me an arm and a leg.

  I'm not very tech savvy, so I know there must be something very simple, I'm do wrong or overlooking and I hope that some dear soul on this forum or someone from Microsoft can give me an idea or two.  Thank you very much

  I was having this same problem, but then noticed a presentation text easy to miss in the historical files tool that says that the disc "cannot be a part of a library" or something like that. In my case, I had files on my external hard drive that have been included in several libraries... and none that I really used, so I removed the files (and deleted the libraries for good measure). A fast system restart later, and my player does not appear.

  I don't know why MS did not propose it again for this thread as the more obvious thing to check, but there you have it. Something simple and quick to check that could save you some frustration.
