  • activation and upgrade the hard drive

    I plan to upgrade my laptop with a new solid state drive. Do I have to disable my software Adobe CC on the old disk and reactivated once the new drive is installed?

    May be more prudent to turn off first, but I didn't need to do that when I used the migration program supplied with my new SSD to re - create the new disk from the old & make it the root of the C: drive.

    I was nervous and pleasantly surprised when everything went smoothly.

    New player = Samsung 840 EVO 1 TB SSD

    Migrated from Intel SSDA2M160G2GCN, who has been & is still installed on the computer.

  • Upgrade the HARD drive and install SSD XP to Windows 7 upgrade - which command?

    I want to make some improvements to my trusty HP XP media center PC m7350n.  Ideally, here's what I want to do in a certain order:

    -upgrade the HARD drive (currently 250 and 500 GB installed, replace with 750 unique?)

    -install an SSD as boot drive (60 to 120 GB?)

    -Reinstall XP restore disks media center

    -do a upgrade 'clean' for win 7 Home premium (64 bit?) from the disc "upgrading"

    The Windows 7 upgrade disk looks like for XP/Vista, so I can't put new hardware and go directly to a cost of Win 7 install.

    Plan a.

    I understand the look of for the minimum size of disks restore disks.  All guess what SSD size would be the minimum? I guess the upgrade of the first hard drive and reinstall XP MC since the restore disks would be trivial (as opposed to their use after a motherboard replacement).  If I have XP MC on the SDS, it is only a reason any Win 7 no upgade SDS?

    Plan B

    If I install the SSD after upgrade to Windows 7, I guess I have to use something like a disk copy program to the boot from SSD HARD disk partition.  SUGESTIONS?

    Plan C

    Restoration of SKIP.  Move existing partitions of 250 and 500 GB drives to 750.  Update for Win 7.  Install an SSD.  Move the boot partition.  Use the same drive for both copy program?

    Am I missing something?

    In case anyone is wondering, I have a spare 750Go drive and the Windows 7 upgrade disk so the only "cost" of this update is to purchase the SSD (and if necessary disk copy program).

    Thank you!

    Don,

    Please read this article by Paul Thurrott more "Clean install Windows 7 with upgrade media '. It essentially says you can make a completely clean install on a drive with no operating system. The key is not to enter the COA product key after installation is complete. I, myself, installed Windows 7 to discs using disks 'upgrade' several times without problems of installation or activation. The order I do it with, is as follows:

    1 copy all the files and folders of the 250 and the 500 GB HDD of 750 GB.

    2. remove the 250 GB, 500 GB and 750 GB of computer hard drives.

    3. install the SSD.

    4. install Windows 7 on the SSD without entering the product key.

    5. Once finished Windows 7 installation, enter the product key and activate Windows.

    6. return old hard disks of computer as needed.

    7. install purchased software and Windows updates if necessary.

    You should go to 4 GB of RAM to get the most out of Windows 7 64 bit and you can upgrade your graphics card.

    Note: You will lose all software provided CVS Windows XP on your m7350n. Make sure that you create your HP recovery discs before you proceed with the change of equipment or install Windows 7. Your HP recovery disks can have the factory included HP software... it may or may not work with Windows 7. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

    Michelle,

    Try for battery HP to THE Bing search engine, I found several sites in line with the Chargers and batteries. BattDepot Australia seems to have decent prices... At$ 24.49 for the loader and THE $37,49 for battery. If you have not yet checked the HP battery reminder page, I recommend you do this first.

  • I tried the clean boot and now the hard drive works simply and screen went black. The mouse still moves around the screen without any outher work keys? That is what it is?

    I tried the clean boot and now the hard drive works simply and screen went black. The mouse still moves around the screen without any outher work keys? That is what it is?

    Hello

    You will need to reverse the clean boot, as it is either incidental compared to
    the real cause of the problem. What, where you try to fix initially using the cleanboot?

    You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If so you can try the configuration - control panel
    The Device Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click the driver UPDATE - then
    Right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

    Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is
    CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
    on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
    by tapping F8 as you start several times.

    First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
    That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
    Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
    Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
    field efforts.

    Here's a video of one of them.

  • upgrade the hard drive on Presario 17XL365

    Inherited this machine recently and I was wondering if I can upgrade the hard drive.  He got a Hitachi DK23BA-15 which is ATA - 66.  But I read that the chipset of the motherboard will be ' interface with ATA/66 hard drives in UDMA 2 mode "-a description of the site intel (North 82443BX/South 82371EB).  Intel® 440BX AGPset.

    So my question is, any laptop drive ide or eide will work with this?  Or I need to find a player who is specificially ATA-66.  Any info on the momentum and the size limitations would also be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    It's a record of 4200 RPM 15 gigabytes. You can use any portable player of up to 120 gig eide, but not anymore. Anyway, you would benefit from a rotational speed of 5400 RPM which is what you can find in the market these days, but will not improve your ATA - 66 maximum transfer speed. The most recent ATA - 100 or 133 readers interfacera just at the speed of 66 but faster speed of rotation of the drive will always access same time help lower transfer speed if that makes sense.

    The number of ATA - 66 is just the maximum theoretical speed, which you reach rarely, in any case.

  • Upgrade the hard drive or the new laptop

    I currently own a mid-2010 Macbook Pro that works well (Apple store ran all the checks and he said everything was good), but there almost six years and I don't want to die any time soon (I need a laptop for school). I do not use the mac for something other than Microsoft Office, several tabs on browser, iTunes and occasionally streaming of netflix (just the basics, no game or something serious). Someone has advice or comments on what would be best? And if upgrading the hard drive seems to be a good option, does anyone have good recommendations?

    Here are the specs of my Mac:
    -Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
    -Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    -Hard drive: 500 GB storage

    In addition, Yosemite (10.10.5) running on the machine without any problem even if it is sometimes slow.

    Thank you!

    Use it as it is. Why update the drive? If you run lack of storage space on the disk, delete some files or get an external drive and move some files on the external drive. Make sure that you back up your data.

  • Upgrade the hard drive on my HP G62-149WM for a 750 GB,

    If I upgrade the hard drive on my HP G62-149WM to a 750 GB drive (or maybe a 1 to) and use the factory purchased the set of recovery disks, it will install the recovery (hidden) on the disk partition, or not?  What IS the recovery partition, it will install (if installed)?

    Hello

    You can certainly move to a 750 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive, a 1 TB would also be possible, but it is not listed as a compatible hdd in a service guide. After a reset, the laptop will be in the same condition that you used for the first time (OS preinstalled). The recovery partition is going to be on the hard drive as well. Size is not too large, I think that it would be up to 15-20 GB...

  • 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.

  • Upgrade the hard drive or consider a new ThinkPad?

    Hello

    I have an IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad R51e with a 40 GB hard drive. I'll soon be at the limit of ability, and I think to upgrade the hard drive.

    My laptop is under warranty until May 2009, says I guess some of you maybe understand my dilemma. Even the technology IBM says it was a difficult call. He suggested an external drive, but I really wanted to do as it would go against how I personally use my laptop.

    He gave me a 80 GB hard drive part number 13N6709 (it is the biggest hard drive I can go internally with the R51e) which will cost me $261,00

    I tried looking for answers to these questions, but the more I read more my head began to spin.

    There are a few questions (with the help of the people in this forum) I'm eager to know before investing more money in this laptop.

    Do I need other parts to install the new HDD?

    The Pro Windows XP was preinstalled by IBM/Lenovo. It will recognize my serial number to install it?

    All my recovery disks will still work with the new hard drive? Or do I have to buy a new game?

    I'd be better to just buy a new laptop?

    If, therefore, for those knowing what are the features that are on the R51e IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad would get the most bangs for the bucks?

    I'd appreciate really no knowledge that any of you can give me.

    Sincerely,

    Kat

  • Upgrade the HARD drive, memory and display on Satellite A30 921 driver

    I got a model a30-921, satellite phone for two years now. I would ask someone who could help me how to put my hard drive from 40 to the majority and the memory to 1 g. and also where can I find the latest driver for ati mobility radeon igp 9000.

    Thank you and looking forward to here from you soon.

    Hi Remelito,

    I use a 80 GB hard drive in my SA30 and I suspect it would probably work with a 100 GB drive. However, as portable hard drives tend to suffer ruptures busiest I think their close office 80 GB is perfectly o.k. for me. I tend to have 25-30 GB used with the rest of the temporary files during editing of the videos etc. The hard drive in the A30 is usually under the optical drive to remove all first in order to access the hard drive.

    Your A30 can be upgraded to a maximum of 2 GB of RAM in two slots. Currently, you will have 2 X 128 MB or 2 X 256 MB modules of RAM installed. You can get the modules of memory in the sizes of 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB or 1 GB. the following URL provides information on reference numbers (the United Kingdom site), but you can Google for a suitable provider.

    Toshiba unfortunately do not provide regular updates to their display drivers (at least in my experience). Like you, I have an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000IGP in my SA30 and I resorted to a driver Omega catalyst in order to play newer games. I ran this Omega driver for many months now with still no Bul. You can obtain this driver from: -.
