• The HD upgrade and memory issues - Satellite P200D - 10 p

  Don't cancel the warranty if I upgrade the hard disk and the memory of my laptop?

  Also is there anyway to merge two partitions on my hard drive into one without having to reformat the whole disc? For some reason, the hard disk was split into two. The installation of Vista on a 73 GB and I have 74 GB free on another partition.

  I want to upgrade the memory from 2 GB to 4 GB. What are the compatible memory modules (I model P200D - 10 p)?

  Hello

  By reformatting the hard drive you really upgrade the HD and increasing memory is a fairly simple process, so you should not invalidate your warranty.

  However if you open any part of the laptop including the crypt of memory you should make sure what you are doing and can get compatible memory, preferably set in correspondence cards.

  The software you need to merge partitions on your hard drive while running Vista is "Paragon Partition Manager. Symantec Partition Magic does not work with Vista. You don't need to reformat your hard drive, but you'd be advised to backup your critical data before the merger. A word of warning before you do anything, if the second partion maintains records of resettlement for Vista if you encounter a failure, then after you merged the two partitions, the files will remain but the relocation will not work. This is because when you insert the disc to reinstall it will search that partition. A round way, that it is to make an image of your drive before you do anything, then you can always copy of backup image and reinstall your Vista back to the factory setting.

  If you have noticed that I posted above ask you about a memory problem because I also want 2 GB to 4 GB, but it won't have it.

  Hope this helps

• Need of advice, the GPU upgrade and power

  Since this is my first post here I would start by saying hello to everyone. I recently bought an HP Elite M9400t Core 2 Duo Quad 2.5 GHz. It came with 4 GB of ram and an its Soundblaster wireless Xtreme pci-e card but unfortunately only came with an Nvidia 9300 GE, which is more or less a rebadged Nvidia 8400. I would like to know what are my options for the upgrade. I would like to upgrade a 680 to 700 watt power supply food to accommodate the new GPU and I've had my eye on the Geforce GTX 260, but the thing is 10.5 inches long. I measured and it would be a tight fit, but the PSU cables would be in the way, unless I went the way of a modular power supply. HP came with a 350 watt PSU. Tell me a 350 Watt power supply would be sufficient to run say a Nvidia 9600 gt or say a solution simple 9800 gt slot. They all have two minimum system requirements of 400 watts... But.  And. will be a more recent judgment out of the PSU shelves fit in my case? And there at - it no real advantage to using the modular power supply she calls space-saving? Thank you for your help in advance.

  This 9600 GSO is easily from 550 to 700 MHz overclock with ATI tool or equivalent, to put it in with the 9800 GTX.

• Problems with the Express upgrade and an upgrade key

  Before I've had my laptop, I have purcahsed a Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade disks and Windows 7 Professional. I used the ultimate update on my desk and I try to use the Professional on my laptop (which came with home premium).

  The problem is that I now have a "non-genuine" copy of Windows 7 because every time the upgrade does not accept my upgrade key. I understand that they are updated slightly different, but anyway that I actually purchased is more expensive than the anytime upgrade. How to make this work?

  Laptop has Windows 7 Home Premium. I used the Express upgrade to upgrade Windows Professional. Now activate Windows asks me to activate Win7 professional and will not accept the key that came with my Windows 7 Professional upgrade disks. The Activation Assistant says that I don't have the OS to use this key. The online troubleshooting guide says that such an error would occur if I am trying to use the upgraded edition to do a clean install (for example).

  I don't understand, how were you able to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional in the first place through Windows Anytime Upgrade? You have been invited to enter your key first. Windows 7 Home Premium license that you upgraded was activated before the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional through Windows Anytime Upgrade?

  Try the following:

  Click Start, right click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link to change your product key

  Enter your product key and use the phone Activation to activate your license. Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

• The hardware upgrade and the cabinet on a PC running genuine Win XP!

  Hello... I use Beanstalk (Bought in 2002) HCL with original Win XP and I want to change the old motherboard (microATX) and the processor and the ram for a breakthrough because I had more problems with the former. But because of my size the new motherboard (ATX), I have to change the furniture too. The firm HCL contains the thumbnail of Windows authentication. I'll change the furniture and equipment and sell the former. How to change the windows license from the old to the new configuration without having to purchase a new license?

  A sticker placed on the PC "case" tends to mean that it is an OEM version.  OEM versions, by the terms of license AGREEMENT, are "forever" related to the first PC that is installed on.  The 'sense' standard and accepted PC can also be interpreted as 'mother '.  Substitute her means that the motherboard you would have a new PC at the end of the "improvements".

• Resize the search box and address box Win7

  Resize the address bar and the search box in Windows Explorer in Windows 7.  I have the double arrow to resize, but nothing happens when I drag it.  I tried to unlock the toolbars, but this does not change the action.  My address is 1/4 the size of the search box and the strange looks.

  Set your DPI up to 185, I set mine at 185 and the issue went away.  anything between 185-200 and the problem comes back.

  185 is an acceptable DPI, just a workaround solution.

  and a little faster than a SFC installation or repair, which solves the problem.

• A few questions regarding the hardware upgrade and the games on Satellite Pro 2100

  Hey,.

  I thought that posting this here because it's more about the lines for the games I could think on another topic.

  I'll get to the point... Basically, I bought a laptop from a guy that my friend knew. He barely used this laptop and didn't know anything about computers, and he tried to avoid as much as possible. So he got rid of this laptop for me for real cheap.

  Now I got it, I had expected either of two things with the laptop.

  (1) what I'll use it so I can sit in his bed and travel a little bit while having files, movies, music and internet access. (it wasn't my main idea)

  Or

  (2) it allows to play video games on it, or to update, so I have a better chance to do so.

  I was hoping to get for video games, mainly for my brother to use because his computer is lagging a lot while playing world of Warcraft. I was hoping that this notebook would give him a better experience for a while.

  But as I was installing the game on this, I noticed that the disk space is low, so I'm going to buy an external hard drive, so I can send files between the PC and the laptop, and I got an error message saying that the RAM was under "minimum requirements" for WoW.

  So I know that I got to level it with something big, but I know not what, so I'm not quite sure that this laptop will run the game at a decent rate. So I thought that I turn to a computer forum and ask.

  It's my laptop;
  [Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 45659 ie]

  This laptop will do the job don't you think?
  Or it will be better for simpler things, or less if I had the ram to 1gig?

  I don't know much on the laptop, and I'm not really willing to spend too much on fixing, if it's just a change of the ram, then it wouldn't cost much for than to upgrade around 1gig.

  Hello

  First of all, I must say that this notebook belongs to an older series laptop.
  It was equipped with the 1.8 Celeron CPU, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB or 30 GB HARD drive and a 16MB graphics card internal.

  What you can do is upgrade the RAM up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) and the HARD drive. But I think that the maximum size of HARD drive that would be recognized by the BIOS is 120 GB.
  I think that the laptop supports one IDE controller and it limited because of the 28-bit LBA HARD drive size.

  So finally, it is important to mention that you can not pass the graphics card because it s soldered onto the motherboard. Upgrading the CPU is not possible or very difficult.

  I come to the conclusion that you will not be able to play games of new generation on this machine. The hardware specs are maybe too low a few simple games would run on this laptop but I'm sure that other newer games will not run smoothly.

• Legal upgrade (and activate) for Win7 64-bit Windows XP 32-bit WITHOUT overwriting current (replacing) Win XP 32-bit install?

  I use version OEM Windows XP HOME 32 bits on a Gateway desktop computer - with no problems.  However, the hard drive is to reach the end of its planned life expectancy, and approaching the period of support for XP.

  To solve the problem, I installed a new (small capacity) hard drive, with the intention to install Win 7 Pro (64 bit) on the new drive.  I read and reread ALL instructions on different help pages (for installation) (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/)... and avoided all of the common problems.

  Currently I have the old (Win XP) and the new hard drive physically assigned to DH0 DH1 - as a CUSTOM, run Setup. -leaving me with a choice of dual-boot to initialize the top between "Earlier version of Windows" (on DH1) and Windows 7 (on DH0).  They both starts without any problem.

  HOWEVER - during inspection, I see that the folder "OLD Windows" on Windows 7 drive in a VACUUM.  This indicates that installation of Windows 7 does not recognize the existence of my current installation of Windows XP on the other hard drive?  Upon activation, I get the dreaded
  "Windows 7 activation error: 0xC004F061.
  because "a previous version of Windows wasn't on your computer when Windows 7 was installed. To install an upgrade version of Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP must be installed on your computer. "

  The new Windows 7 must be installed on the same drive as the old Windows XP  In order to activate the 'upgrade '?

  I have no problem with the drudgery of migrating my data and install applications from one drive to another with an empty directory "OLD Windows" - as long as both car are mounted.  My only question is to know if the 'new' Win 7 64 - bit OS SHOULD replace the old XP 32-bit operating system in order to Activate the newly installed operating system Win 7 64 bit.

  Is there an 'Official' Microsoft document that answers this question?

  Thank you

• HP Pavilion DV6500: upgrading the BIOS on HP DV6500 w/Win7-64

  HP Pavilion DV6500

  Service etiquette: dv6607rs

  Memory: 2 GB to 4 GB upgrade

  Operating system: Win7 Ultimate 64-bit

  HD: upgrading to the new Toshiba 1 TB HDD - MQ01ABD100

  OLD HD: Western Digital WD1600BEVS - 60RST0

  CPU: upgrading to AMD Turion64 X 2 TL-66, 2.3 GHz

  OLD CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X 2 TK - 55 1.8 GHz

  Motherboard model: Quanta 30CF

  Motherboard Chipset: nVidia nForce 630M (C67)

  BIOS: Phoenix HP, 23/07/2007, F.06

  Had this laptop for free because he was constantly overheating and blue screening and the keyboard didn't work. Bought the new keyboard and fixed overheating by a cleaning in depth and the new thermal paste to the heat sink. Then, I decided to update as much as I can and use it to make music.

  The BIOS are very old, F.06. I was told that I should update the BIOS, because the most recent BIOS also included fixes for overheating, among other things. Unfortunately, I was told also that you need the operating system is Vista or BIOS update program "brick" laptop.

  I got what I thought, it was the ingenious idea to use my old hard drive, install Vista on it (came to me with Win7 too), update the BIOS, and then replace the new HDD with Win7 in. Trying to install Vista on my old hard drive, the installation routine says impossible to find the hard drive, and I need to install drivers to "see" the hard drive.

  I don't know exactly what I need. I tried several AMD AHCI drivers, but I have not found the good, or I need somethng totally different AMD AHCI drivers.

  I guess I have two questions.

  1. is it possible to update of the BIOS under Win7, without having to try to do it on another hard drive with Vista?

  2. If Vista will be used, what exactly I need / have to do to get Vista to recognize my original hard drive?

  (Hard drive model D'origina listed at the beginning of post)

  I want to emphasize that although I have not used the laptop much since I upgraded the CPU, everything seems to work well. I'm just worried that I may have still some problems of overheating, especially since the most recent processor can generate a little more heat than the original (35 watts instead of 31 watts).

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Kind regards

  Bill

  Ok. I'm done.

  The hard drive was not recognized because I did something stupid. When I got the new drive and put the old man back, I forgot to transfer adapter plastic little new hard drive to the former. The pins on the old drive never made contact when I put it back in the system.

  Once I realized my mistake, I could format the old drive, put Vista on it, Flash the BIOS to the most recent/last version and then replace the old drive to the new drive with Win7-64 on it. Piece of cake.

  Now, I did almost everything possible to restore and modernize this computer:

  • Faster CPU support
  • Max RAM
  • Battery high capacity
  • New, 1 TB hard drive (with the pin adapter back on!)
  • Replaced the optical drive non-working
  • Replace the non-functional keyboard
  • BIOS flashed
  • Replace hard drive broken plastic cover
  • Replaced the knob cracked and melted
  • Win7-64
  • Clean the vents, fan, radiator, new thermal paste

  Everything seems to work OK so far. Let's see if the overheating problem that caused my ex-wife (the killer of computer) to throw this laptop comes back, or if it is fixed for good. Thanks to those who replied with their answers to help me.
