My hard disk v3-472 comes off and I have to take it apart to reconnect.

I use my laptop in two different places.  Twice the hard drive has come loose, I don't give "no disc bootable" the first time that I took for geeks, they said it was just loose, but somehow I have all lost and had to reinstall the OS myself or pay $150.  The second time, I took apart and replace the hard drive in place.  It works very well, I've lost nothing and it costs nothing.  The laptop don't be dropped or shaken and I carry it in a Briefcase on the sweet side.  Is there a difficulty to keep the player stands.  This a V - 3 472 P.  I love it and it's just the right size and weight for the volunteer work that I do.

Since there are no screws that hold the cradle, I suggest you to put 2 pieces of Ribbon insulator (insulation tape) between HDD and SATA connector.

This will help the image of the HARD drive to the SATA connector.

  • When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

    Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

  • Connect physical hard disks to the virtual machine (and leave the data intact)

    Hello

    I'm looking to virtualize a SOHO headless server, that I use mainly for secure file storage.

    Currently, the system runs Linux installed on a small disc and has two drives 1.5 TB, used exclusively for data, in a cluster of ZFS mirroring. (I use the ZFS-fuse Linux-based application).

    I want virtualization for two reasons. One is to make administration easier and safer - avoid having to connect a keyboard and the physical monitor to the box from time to time. The other is that the machine is a bit more powerful to handle the load, and I'm hoping to make it work on other, more challenging tasks.

    Now, there is a catch. These discs are as highly important. I mean the data on them. What I need is to convert the current Linux system to a virtual machine, or re - install Linux on a virtual machine (don't like that), then connect the physical disks to the virtual machine as if they were actually connected.

    I certainly don't want to vmware touches those disks somehow.

    I've read the documentation, but I'm a noob when it comes to server virtualization and system engineering and don't quite understand if this is possible or not. These discs are not a SAN, they are physically connected to the server, I want to install vSphere on. (Of course, I'll log out when I run the setup of vSphere. But I need plug them again later, and they need to be sure that vmware will leave them alone and pass them to the virtual machine transparent.)

    Sigmoid wrote:

    Oh yes, the cluster mirrored ZFS. It is essentially a software RAID type thingie.

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

    A material, or the point of view of virtualization, it appears two hard drives with a single huge partition on each that is not transparent to anyone, except the implementation of ZFS.

    OK, means that you can break the RAID, connect the drives to different host and configure RAID once again, right?

    Let's do it this way

    1. We will need a disc player more for VM, cause on flash, we install ESXi
    2. I will share ZFS :-), all you need to do with that before you install ESXi
    3. make the BACKUP!
    4. Disconnect the data host drives
    5. install ESXi 4.1 U1 free version on flash
    6. Download the site VMware vSphere client
    7. Connect the VM disk to ESXi
    8. customer help create the virtual machine and install the OS on it
    9. stop the virtual machine and esxi
    10. connect DATA drives to the ESXi host
    11. begin to ESXi
    12. See how to add RDM on youtube, after client use, change first hardware VM--> add a new hard disk--> choose Raw Device Mapping--> (physical or virtual) mode--> store it with folder VM - FACT
    13. Start the virtual machine, now your VM should see both drives, with good data course :-)

    I have just made this procedure (add ROW with data in Linux VM) on ubuntu VM, works well

    Unfortunately, there is no way to recover your Windows COA key - neither HP or Microsoft will have any record of it.

    However, if you use recovery discs for your laptop, they will not require the key to the COA and will activate automatically.

    If you wish, you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below.

    If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

  • Hard disk crash, reinstall Adobe CS6 and LR 6 Progs.  How should I treat the activations?

    Hello.  I have two questions, and both are presented here because they are linked to the main problem.

    Question 1:

    I had a hard drive failure.  I lost my operating system and applications.  I am aware of the issues with Adobe software activation.  I am a registered user of Adobe CS6 and Lightroom 6.  I need to reinstall, but I don't want the activation count against me, as I also want these programs on a laptop.  I can't 'turn off' these programs as the hard drive failed.  I have more access to this broken system.  I reinstall my whole system.  How to achieve this?

    Question 2:

    I bought Lightroom 6 an update of Lightroom 5.  Since I had the hard drive failure, and I guess I'll get help with question 1 above, must I reinstall Lightroom 5 first?  I would prefer not to reinstall Lightroom 5 I want the new installation of the system to be as clean as possible.  Please notify.

    I can't save anything else on my computer and I feel as if I had barely whether registered here initially. My (C) drive is almost full and my local disk drive (D) has so much space to this topic, but I don't know how to do as my default player. I tried following the suggestions of the people online, but nothing helped. Can anyone help?

    The first thing to do is run the disk cleanup utility. Instructions here.

    Then, try to move some files and folders. There are a few different folders, you can move from the C drive to the D drive. So let me suggest you only start moving your files, documents, music, photos and video from C to d. here are the instructions. You need to do one at a time. To find them, in Solution Explorer, expand the C drive, find your name under users and all your personal files are there.

    After these two things, tell me how much space you have on C.

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.
