• Compaq Presario 2586US laptop - hard drive upgrade

  Recently, I took a chance and bought 2 'parts only' Compaq Presario 2500 laptop computer series off Ebay and was able to make a unique work PC with motherboard of the 2586US being the motherboard, I used.  I don't have a hard drive, so I bought a Samsung 160 GB ATA drive.  Turns out I have to not need the adapter on the end of bus because it plugged right in the motherboard making.  The reader is supposed to be ATA100 and ATA133 at the upper end (I don't remember which).  I put the drive and installed Windows.  I noticed that it seemed slow but Windows showed the disc to the original format.  Then I went to dual-boot with a Linux distribution and encountered errors.  Thanks to a lot of research on the web I found the BIOS and the IDE interface itself (?) apparently does not have a drive larger than 137 GB.  I checked the BIOS and indeed it says the maximum usable size 137 GB.  It also shows the transfer rate to DMA2, which, as I understand it, means that it is only the transfer to 33 MB instead of 100 or 133 MB.  The service manual says ATA100, so it should support a transfer DMA5 rate.

  I don't pretend to understand all of this at all.  So, I'm looking for help.

  (1) is anyway to go beyond 137 GB on a hard drive in this laptop?

  (2) otherwise, it's the fact that my drive is actually 160 GB when the PC support 137Go cause more problems?

  (3) what should I do to obtain a rate of transfer beyond DMA2?  The configuration of the BIOS doesn't let me tab this field to change.

  Thanks for any help and explanations that I can understand.  Don't forget that I am just your average Joe and not some kind of expert at all.  I found a lot of this on the web but don't know what it means.

  Thanks in advance!

  After a lot of research and reading on the net, I found the following link:

  http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~leeey/A7A266/

  Basically, the driver ALi M5229 was the problem.  It was not really support the DMA modes.  The link explains this and provides a link for the driver of the UDMA for the chip (it is not only the miniport driver that you get from the Compaq/HP site).  I installed it, had to reboot about 3 or 4 times due to messages "new hardware has been installed, but a reboot is required.  When I finally got around those I noticed that in Device Manager I see the ALi controller and it is listed as a UDMA controller now.  The individual channels are not displayed (the pilot seems to configure the drives as SCSI peripheral nickname).  Using the included ALi utility, it shows my driver running at ATA100/133.  Startup, everything including startup items until my office is there, the system's busiest has been reduced to about 1/4 or 1/5 while she was before.   I have a new system of hearts for my office, so sometimes I think that it still seems a bit slow, but there is a world of difference between a modern quad core system and this old laptop P4 architecture, etc..  But okay, the laptop works fine now in Windows.  Now I'll have to see what it looks like for Linux, because I have no idea what it uses for the driver ALi M5229.

  I think we can safely call this thread closed, how ever do you that.  Somehow, I thought she was going to be a bit obscure, and I guess you can say it was!

  Thank you all for any help here!

• Computer HP laptop slim 500 GB HARD drive: used for HP laptop HARD drive upgraded to Win 10 Pro with key now stuck after HP Drive Encryption Login

  I bought a portable hard drive used HP for the upgrade of my Lenovo G550 with ugraded CPU with Intel's CORE DUO T9300 2.50 ghz

  (HP hard drive: computer laptop slim drive HARD 500 GB SERIAL ATA DISK DRIVE S/N W627S9NL P/N 756731-001 MFG Seagate Technologies DOM 8 / 2015)

  I was happy to see that the hatd drive had already installed because Windows 7 I had bought already separate legitimate Windows 10 Pro license key for the upgrade. I was able to go online and download the upgrade of Windows 10 and used my purchased license key to activate my updated.

  While doing the installation, there are some HP software that was still on the hard drive. I thought it would be good to have some additional security protocols, so I also installed the WinMagic Securedoc Bootloader v1.2.12 and saved the drive encryption HP with the security issues and password for secondary access.

  10 Windows has been activated and everything was beautiful. But when I restarted the laptop, I put my password for windows and then it goes to this screen of disc HP encryption rises. I put the password and it is accepted - and then the screen turns white... not offshore... jblank TEU with a cursor flashing that doesbn can't react to inputs.

  I tried leaving it for a day or so and still nothing.  There is nothing I can change in the configuration of the BIOS that works so far.

  I also tried Reimage download on USB and re-creation of the sequence of boot, but not good. Even tried a boot drive, but nothing there either. I'll try again.

  I don't know where to go or how to get beyond the screen of HP encryption.  I am pretty good at following directions, I don't know coding, but may do what you suggest to help me fix this problem.

  Can you help me?

  Sorry... I missed the part that you have a license Win10.  I thought you were trying to activate 10 using the OEM HP license and causing problems.

  I do not use HP encryption applications - as having recently completed a career in the InfoSec, I personally focus together on the encryption of the PC to be laughable-, but my guess is that you are basically out of luck.

  If it was my drive, I WIPE the drive of all its content and then again install Win10.  A good product to do i.e. DBan: http://tiptopsecurity.com/how-to-securely-wipe-your-hard-drive-with-dban-erase-your-data-for-good/

  Once your disc is clean, then simply install Win10 on it.

  That said, with a bit of luck, one of the HP EXPERTS will probably come along and tell you how to get around their encryption.

  Good luck

• Upgrade the hard drive on Presario 2100

  Computer of my wife has only one hard disk of 40 GB in it and she almost maxed out.  I was wondering what hard drive internal, can I get?  Would this be a job - Western Digital WD3200BEVT 320 GB 2.5 "laptop hard drive?

  Thanks in advance.

  Mike

  N ° this WD3200BEVT Western Digital 320 GB 2.5 "portable hard drive is a SATA interface unit that does not work on the IDE hard drive inside your Presario 2100.

  You must find an interface IDE Hard Drive (60, 80, 120 or 160 GB). Unfortunately, I do not know what is supported by the Southbridge chipset on this interface.

• Satellite A50-111 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello!

  I need to upgrade hard drive of my laptop because it is very slow. However, I know it's a 60 GB to factory-installed 4200 RPM.
  I'm ready to be upgraded to a fast 7200 RPM, if possible, with a decent capacity, but I'm not sure of the supported hard drive type (IDE?, 2.5?) is a model of 5 years. In my view, there are incompatibilities with the laptops today, hard drive formats, so I really need help.
  Thank you very much for your help!

  These are the specs on the site
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 97598

  Hey Buddy,

  In my opinion the HARD drive upgrade will not increase performance well then you should try the other options first as reinstalling Windows, or upgrade the RAM.

  Anyway, Satellite A50 use IDE interface, so you can use hard disks of 120 GB of disk space.
  Of course, you can take a model at 7200 RPM, but they need more energy and produce more noise.
  I recommend a 120 GB 5400 RPM model. That s pretty fast!

  Hello

  are there restrictions on the type of hard drive that you can on this model?

  RPM
  buffer
  Number of PINS
  Type of the ATA

  I was watching a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 ST980815A, if this helps answer the question.

  Concerning

  Lee

  Hello

  I found the info your device comes with 40 GB IDE (ATA - 5) HARD drive. I think in your case, to capacity. High-capacity hard drives are not recognized properly, but I think that with 60 or 80 GB HDD should perhaps be recognized correctly.

  If anyone on this forum can give you accurate information, I recommend you contact your local dealer or service in your country. They are experts upgrade material and they have accurate info on HARD drive upgrade.

  Good luck!

• HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

  HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

  I want to put in a 60 GB SSD into the CD slot and want to see how fast it will support as this will be used for the Cache

  Thank you

  The published information is not explicit; He says only: SATA for the expansion Bay while the main hard drive Bay expressly says SATA-III. However, given that this isn't just an optical drive Bay, but also a general 'Bay expansion', it is safe to assume it of on the same SATA bus as main drive and is a SATA III interface.

  Data sheet

  6470b is also supposed to have a slot for a WSSD mSATA, but he is not described in the Manual:

  Manual

  Obviously the WSSD would work better for cache but you can use a 60 gig SSD in an expansion bay for both cache adapter. Even if the connection is SATA-II, it will be much faster to work for a cache of acceleration.

• Laptop hard drive failures

  My laptop hard drive crashed. It is repaired by a new disc with the approved o/s. It doesn't have a D partition now. Is there any use in my command, recovery disks? I already started to restore applications and data.

  Hello

  I see what you mean

  If media recovery is all benefits for you, depends in large part of the operating system that you use and whether you have any other way to reinstall the operating system in case of accident - for example if you are using Windows 7, you can easily create your own installation media and use the key of 25 characters of your coa label to activate it. A complete list of Windows 7 ISO files here.

  If you are under Windows 8, these files are not so easy to find, so you spend your recovery media order may be worth considering.

  In both cases, the only way that partition D (recovery) can be recreated would be to use a set of recovery media (disk or flash drive) to perform a factory reset as it will not only reinstall the OS, but to recreate the original scores, with only your laptop delivered.
