Maximum hard drive that can be installed in a Compaq Presario SR1500NX desktop?
I have an old Compaq Presario SR1500NX of Office I want to configure it as a server at home. Currently, it has the original hard drive (80 GB). I am trying to find out what the maximum capacity HD I can install it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hello
The motherboard has 2 SATA ports, I have no idea why HP installed a drive HARD IDE 80 GB port in the first place. If you plan to reuse the IDE port, you can get up to 137 GB only. You can install drive HARD 160 GB or more, but you need to divide first and then combine it later, it is a very long way.
Why not install the controller SATA 1 TB and keep intact 80 GB. The machine has 2 HARD drives at the end.
Kind regards.

What is the maximum size of hard drive, which can be installed in a desktop pavilion d4790y?
It would be a secondary drive, not the boot drive.
The operating system is Vista Home Premium, 32-bit. The version of the BIOS is 5.08.
Are there any changes or upgrades that would allow an internal hard drive 3 TB to install?
Here are the specifications and configurable options for your desktop HP Pavilion d4790y and here are the specifications of its card mother P5BW - THE (Basswood2). Based on the specifications and the age of the computer, I would expect you to use a hard drive 3 TB as a secondary drive on Windows Vista (DISPLACEMENT SP1 or SP2) and Windows 7. Formatted as MBR would require the drive to use with a minimum of two partitions. Formatted as GPT would require only a single partition. In no case will you be able to use the 3 TB as a boot device drive because your computer does not support a UEFI BIOS that allows booting from a GPT formatted disk. No changes or updated should be held.

Is there a limit on the size of the hard drive that can recognize ESX?
Hello
I would like to know if there is any limitation with regard to the size of the hard drive that can recognize an ESX 3.5 Server? I have a Dell server with 1.8 TB of HDD. When I try to install ESX 3.5 on it, ESX shows that space and be approzimately 1.4 TB. I understand that ESX requires little space, but I would not be the image that it's 400GO.

What is a RAID? You could have 6 300 GB drives, RAID requires treatment, and basically, 1 disc is overload, so it seems you are using RAID 5 (if you have 6 disks). In this case, that is right you have 1.4 flying over, which is what ESX sees.

The maximum size of hard drive that can be used in an a6400f
I am installing a 2 TB hard drive in a computer a6400f, he said during the installation of Windows 7 windows cannot install with this hardware of computers. The hard drive is recognized in the Bios. I had an old 500 gig and windows installed without any problems.
I don't know how or when it has changed, but the problem was that, in the BIOS, the interface has been set to Raid and IDE not. Why someone knew about it?

I want to upgrade my XP computer to Windows 7. I have 2 drives, a master and a slave. Given that I can only do a custom Setup, before I upgrade I want to backup my data on the slave drive and then do the custom Windows 7 install on the master. I have this possible? And, if possible, can I then copy the files to the slave to the master?
Yes, you can.
To ensure a security update, follow these steps:
Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.
You will receive the following warning:
The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK
The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.
Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.
You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

I can't boot from the CD, I tried booting from CD via BIOS, by pressing 'C' but I had no luck.
Any ideas?
Hey Buddy,
What disc you are trying to start exactly?
Have you tested different discs?You should check the boot order in the BIOS. Configure the CD/DVD drive as first boot device and test it again!

Maximum hard drive size in the Lenovo 3000 N100
I have Lenovo 3000 N100
It came with 100 GB hard drive 5400 RPM
What is the maximum hard disk that can be used. Is it possible to only 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM?
Thanks for the answer
Abraham
No, I'm this based on the Avenue of the planets. Kidding.
I base this experience with laptops cheaper and lower quality supporting better hard disks, processor, etc. etc.
Also the fact that some N100 configurations included a 250 GB SATA 5400 RPM hard drive. No reason why will not work a 7200 RPM drive.
We invite you to seek advice elsewhere.

My default hard disk is almost full and I plan to update. What is the maximum size that this model could overcome? Very well is 2-3 to?
Another question.
I replaced my optical drive to a box with a 250 GB SSD HARD drive inside. I installed my new operating system here, and makes the default boot drive. The default value of HARD drive that comes with the laptop is my backup drive. This is configured by okay?
or
Do I have to put my SSD on the default HARD drive space and put my 2 to/3 TB harddrive on the caddy for maximum performance?
Hello
1. in theory, you can get 2 TB or TB but 1 TB has better peformance.
2. you cannot boot from the caddy. My suggestion: use for normal Bay and 2 TB SSDS in the caddy. You both what you want.
3. as (2) above.
Kind regards.

It would be only format 2.3 TB. Is there a limit to the amount of the size of the hard drive that it can manage Windows Vista Ultimate? If so, is there a way to enlarge it.Vista only supports drives of 3 TB for storage of the data and do not install the Vista operating system on this drive.

How can I do a disk Government cleanup using vista on a hard drive that I sell?
How can I do a disk Government cleanup using vista on a hard drive that I sell?
The above is very good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OR for a Vista reinstall:
Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
