Is it Possible to share a HARD disk drive (with a KNOWN password) protected between ThinkPads?

Greetings,

I spilled a drink sweet in my X 200, fence it beyond all repair.  The X 200 hard drive has ONLY one disk HARD password bios I created and you know.  To try to recover my files from hard drive of the X 200, I removed the disk and inserted into my T60.  When I turned on the T60, I got the usual HARD disk password prompt.  However, when I entered the password (all tiny, no special characters or non-English speaking, and which I know is quite OK), I had the symbol of the incorrect password.  I turned off the machine and repeat this process.  After the second attempt, I saw the password prompt with a closed hand.

Later, I followed a procedure recommended by Lenovo to clear the password (do not think that I am allowed to post a link): enter the password followed by a space.  That did not work.

I wonder if HARD drive pasword protected drive of the X 200 is somehow related to this particular machine and can not, as I had always supposed, be exchanged in another machine and accessible by entering the correct password.

I also wonder if I can have permanantly me locked out the reader by making too many attempts "invalid."

(Edited to add additional information and to make the more descriptive subject that it was originally).

LongtimeTPOwner, welcome to the forum,

Sorry to hear about your situation remove the password must be possible in another X 200 or even another ThinkPad at the same time system for example, T400, T500,... etc.

A consideration that you would like to take a look is the password parameter in the menu BIOS password; If it is set differently on the T60 of how this has been put on the X 200 it could present problems according to the password used, especially if it's "special characters".

Edit; typo

  • Hard disk drive bad, need to use e-recovery in new HD

    They gave me a laptop aspire v5 - 122p and the ALT + F12 for internal recovery does not work. The hard drive and the partition seems corrupt and damaged. Windows 8, try to start, but a message said: there was something wrong and that he will try hard to adapt but it restarts and do the same thing in a loop. I scanned the hard drive with an application which allow me to run it from a bootable usb flash drive. The hard drive came with errors in the sector.

    If I install a new hard drive, I can order an erecovery disk and install all or what I need to do something special? I read somewhere that own hard discs must be prepared initially with another set of tools provided by Acer. The tools provided in the link are in a named ISO "Format CD".

    Yep, it's possible and an unallocated HARD disk is preferable in some cases.

  • Satellite L500 - hard disk drive partitioning

    Hi all (first posting times)

    I came across a little curiosity. Bought new laptop everything installed, then loaded into all the previous laptop backup files, brilliant all work...
    But then noticed was running out of space on the hard disk (drive C)?

    Why? It is a 500 GB hard drive. So I checked. Its actually a HDD 500 gig, divided into two, also. OK, understand that, first partition is C: for all files of system etc, there is d: recovery of files (using about 8 gig) then nothing else... what a mess.

    So the question, can I do the largest C: drive by reducing the D: partition? If NOT, it would make more sense then just make another partition E: for example?

    Oooh and I will make the recovery of files from damage by doing this.

    All your advice much appreciated kind.

    If it is not broken... your cheek is not hard enough *.

    Why are you doing this so complicated? HARD drive has two partitions, and you can use all that space. Toshiba has saved the recovery image of HARD drive on the second partition, but this does not mean that you are not allowed to save your data there. You can do but just don't touch or change folder HDDRecovery. Just leave it there, or make it invisible.

    This file can be used later for the installation of HARD disk image - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
    Imagine the following situation:
    You save all your stuff on the C partition and one day for some reason you cannot boot OS and it is completely unusable. What you can do? Maybe install OS again. OK good idea, but you will lose all your important data.

    In order to better is to save all the stuff on the D partition, and if something goes wrong, you can install OS using HARD drive recovery facility. This means that C partition will be formatted and clean the OS installed on it by using the image of the D partition. The point is that any data saved to the D partition will be there and you won't lose anything.

    If you want to install the OS via recovery DVD (hopefully you have created the) the whole HARD drive will be formatted and you will lose all saved data.
    I hope you understand now how it works then think of all the important data and save it as with certain external devices too.

  • I need the driver for my external HARD disk drive

    Hi how are you?

    Well, I would like to know I do an external drive using the portable hard drive whose name is "Toshiba MK8034GSX" which is with a capacity of 80 GB.
    A few days back I plugged to the USB port with my pc but after that it says need driver and I n t have the HARD disk driver.

    So kindly if anyone has the driver or know the link where I can find the driver then tell me I will be very grateful to you all.

    With regard to:

    Martine André

    Hello

    What is a USB HDD?
    You n t need any driver, and there is no drivers for an external USB HDD.

    The USB driver is part of the Windows OS and it s already installed.
    The USB HDD must be fitted with a plug & play device which means that should be recognized automatically after you connect to the laptop USB port.

    What OS you have and what laptop is it?
    The operating system is up to date?
    USB ports are correctly listed in the Device Manager?

    Hi dynamitenews

     

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
    2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

     

    You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

    Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.

    BIOS WARNING-
    Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

     

    I hope this helps.

    The original hard disk drive has been damaged, and I replaced it the installation a professional version of windows 7, 32 bit.

    I used prior to windows Vista, and everything worked very well. now, with Windows 7 can not format my drive CD/DVD or CD/DVD read/write.

    I tried before solving the problem using Microsoft Fix it but failed.

    Please, I need your help!

    OK what I mean try, reboot your system with the Windows cd again and see if your dvdrwe drive cannot read the disc. Unfortunately, you can have a bad disk but before ruling out, you need to do some troubleshooting steps more. Did you try and install your DVD - RW drive on another pc will exclude both software and hardware, or if you can install another drive on your pc. Good luck

    Hello

    I just bought a Satellite A500-18 t and before the first launch, I wonder if it is possible to create the recovery disk on a USB external drive, rather than burning a DVD.

    No, something like this is not possible.
    Please create recovery DVDs and do not forget, that you will lose not.
    To create recovery discs, I recommend using the media high quality as TDK or Verbatim DVD-R.
    I had very good experiences with the media in the past.

    Yes but only in storage. Add the old drive with the newmodeus.com cable and caddy in the second hard drive Bay. Connect the cable. The old drive should appear in Windows Explorer with a drive letter if it is formatted and partitioned. If it is empty, it should be formatted and partitioned.

    In my opinion, the 2nd HDD or SSD disk is not supported.
    You can use the HARD drive, or you can try to replace with a compatible SSD 1 TB HARD drive. But the use of HDD and SSD drive to one and same time is not possible.
