• 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.

• Damaged laptop hard drives can be recovered?

  Hello

  I hope you can answer my question, as I've had a little trouble with my TOSHIBA Satellite Pro

  The strap of my laptop broke so that on my shoulder, and the bag bag fell to the floor. In 1 of the card slots PC is a wireless LAN adapter. (Bad luck) wanted that it was on the side of the laptop that hit the ground, causing the map being pushed higher in the side of the laptop about an inch

  Since then, the laptop has not started up.

  2 questions:

  1. do you know what hardware is close the PC card slots, and if they are difficult to repair/replace

  2. If the laptop is completely been goosed, is it possible to use the hard drive from Toshiba Satellite Pro and ask a farm to copy all information/data from the old hard drive to the new hard drive?

  Thank you
  brand

  Hello Mark

  In my opinion, you should contact Toshiba service partner allowed in your country and explain to them the situation. Toshiba laptops have no standard hardware architecture and you'll be lucky if anyone can give you correct answer (you didn't mention WHAT Satellite Pro you have). On this way, we can only speculate because nobody knows how much is the damaged laptop.

  I suppose that the HARD drive is no longer usable but you can try to connect to another laptop as external, then check if the HARD drive works or not.

  If you have important data on this topic you can contact some IT closes that are able to save the data. Everything is possible, but it will cost a little more.

• HP Envy dv6 7247 cl: what is the cable that connects my laptop HARD drive?

  There is a small cable about an inch of that long, it connects a SATA 300 HD to something else, I can't not recognize inside my laptop, my hard drive is dead and along my warranty gone, is it possible to replace the snack cable replace my HARD drive does not work?
  
  Here's a Visual.
  
  Thank you.

  Hello andrew8blue,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I saw your picture and read your thread. The cable is not a replaceable part. You might have to replace the whole motherboard if the HARD drive does not work.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you!

• Satellite A300 - Questions about the second HARD drive Bay

  To the underside of the laptop, there is an empty Bay for a second HDD internal.
  It is in the lower left corner (the first internal hard drive is on the lower side right) and the Bay has a sata connector.
  The plastic cover of the empty Bay extended columns so nothing (not even a hard disk) can be positioned on the inside.

  Someone knows:
  -If the sata connector works
  -If I can connect a secondary internal hard drive which work together with the primary
  -Where I could order the support for the secondary hard drive (i.e. toshiba code)
  -Where I could order a plastic cover without extensive columns, bcz I want to break.

  If my question is not clear, I can upload a photo.

  Thanks in advance

• Equium A210 - Question on two 2 hard drives using Vista

  I'm looking for some portable refurbished Toshiba and see that some of them (including the title template) have 2 hard drive bays. An individual has a specified 80 GB drive and I am puzzled as to how, if the 80 GB is divided, it can run Vista.

  I intend to use the built-in hard drive to run the programs and the OS and use an external drive to store all my data, that's why I go for a laptop with a hard drive relatively low and hopefully get a good quality for less money machine.

  But I would like to know what size are these 2 drives and you would be grateful for information about the ins and outs of the 2 hard drives.

  Thanks in advance if you can enlighten me :)

  Hello

  > An individual has a specified 80 GB drive and I am puzzled as to how, if the 80 GB is divided, it can run Vista.
  Your question confuses me, I wonder what's not clear for you
  You are right. Some series are equipped with two bays for HARD drives, but this does not mean that you can use 2 hard disks because not all models with 2 bays for HARD drives supports 2 HARD disk controllers. So before use 2 HARD drive, you will need to check first if the second span would contain HARD drive connectors.

  In addition, the installation of Vista OS always create 2 partitions on the HARD disk.
  A small partition is hidden and it contains the necessary vista backup files that are needed to repair the Vista operating system (in critical situations).
  The second partition contains the common files system.

  This is the whole secret of Vista

• Satellite A50 543: Questions about upgrading the HARD drive

  I'm looking to upgrade the internal hard disk on my A50 543 to 100 GB at 7200 RPM. The original drive is a Fujitsu 60GM 4200. I have found no information on the Internet on other readers line CMS that have been tested and found compatible with the A50. I need at least 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM to edit video.

  Suppliers meet usually only with so many laptops on the market, they cannot test each hard drive with any laptop, but can tell if it is compatible with the specifications of the computer and the hard disk specifications and are so confident that their information is accurate that they offer a money back guarantee (excluding shipping costs)

  My question is
  (1) how can I be sure that the drive will work (considering the high international shipping costs) to 100%?

  (2) none of the contributors to this forum may recommend a hard drive internal 5400 RPM or more it has installed on the same model specification?

  Thank you. You are my last hope

  Best regards
  Vince

  Hello

  If you want to be 100% sure that works on your HARD drive, so I think the best way is to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Here, you can order all the devices and parts compatible and supported.
  I also found these Toshiba hard disks that must be compatible:
  HDD2187B 20 GB 4 200
  HDD2190B 40 GB 4 200
  HDD2193 40 GB 5 400
  HDD2189B 60 GB 4 200
  HDD2194 60 GB 5 400
  HDD2188B 80 GB 4 200
  80 GB 5 400 HDD2191

  In this case, you can use a disk HARD of GB 5 400 80 but I put t found no information about 100 GB of HARD drive.

• Questions about X 240 hard drive replacement

  I read through the related content on the hard drive for this machine swaps, but I wanted to clarify a few things before going forward.

  Background:

  • Lenovo X 240 w / 500 GB HDD and SSD 16 GB (both came standard), Windows 7
  • HARD drive is faulty (confirmed)
  • I've built / repaired my PC in the past and have a moderate comfort level 'dig deeper' a machine

  Issues related to the:

  1. I will replace with a 500GB HARD drive (or more) SSD. I understand a type reader 2.5 "SATA III will work, but I've seen classified not only 7 mm compatible heights but 9 mm heights will work as well - is this true?
  2. Given the essential motivation will be a SSD, I think that disk cache 16 GB SSD will be useless? Is there a wrong to her leaving (without performance degradation)? If it is best to remove it, I understand it is not easy to access (is there a decent tutorial on how to do it)?
  3. I have a backup image on an external drive (made with standard tools of Win 7), which will be the best way to get this door to the new SSD? I've got a KingWin EZ-Connect and another office that could be exploited which simplifies the process
  4. To confirm, I read a topic on the copy of a HARD drive for an SSD associated spacing address 4K, but don't think that this is the case, it was a Win 7 OS on the original HARD drive?

  Thanks for the help

  Hello and welcome, drandersoninc

  1. Yes, x 240 supports SATA III drives, 7 mm or 9.5 mm height

  2. no need to have a cache drive if the primary drive is the SSD. Remove after uninstalling the software cache.

  Useful items to find the drive inside the laptop and remove it:
  https://download.Lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/PC/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/x240_hmm_en_sp40a26001_02.PDF

  http://lenovolearning.bhivesoft.com/bhive/t/1004/sessions_details_public.jsp?content_id=7966

  Disk cache is placed under the internal battery, on the cover of chip card reader.
  Open the 3rd link above, take a course, go to the part of the technical review, expand it, select "ThinkPad x 240 m2 - 3rd slot. You will see drive cache.

  3 use the cloning software, clone the content of all of the reader (not a partitions). You need just a USB SATA box.

  4. There is no problem of k 4 with modern and win7 discs.
