• Need advice with the hard drive upgrade

  Greetings Applelonians:

  I bought a new HD 480 GB SSD for my 15 MBP (to 2011) to try to help improve the performance and install it myself. I'm hoping to get some tips on the sequences necessary for install and then restore my files Office 2011. (I've known slowness notable speed as well as issues of program Outlook-so think I should try to start more as fresh as possible).

  I'm clear on the mechanical steps to install the drive, but there seems to be a few options on the side of software I found. I have a copy of Snow Leopard, which came with my MBP, so in theory I think I should be able to install an operating system from scratch, and then do the upgrades, right?

  I also have a SATA cable / USB, I see that some have used to clone the existing HD. As mentioned above, I think I should start with a new installation of the operating system (which simply Mac store recommended for $80 there), so I don't think that cloning is the best option.

  Here are my questions:

  (1) if I install the new HD, because it is out of the box, and then insert my Snow Leopard, which will load the necessary drivers required? or do I need to format the drive (on the outside?) before you install it?

  (2) I have a Time Machine recent backup contains all my critical data that I need to restore (for most all files MS Office 2011). I was intending to do a new installation of Office 2011 after the installation of the HD and then restore my Office files from the external backup of TM. I wonder if the TM backup contains only files, or if it also contains the actual programs (e.g. office). If the latter, is there another method I use to transfer other files that a full restore?

  (3) also in this sense, once I get El Capitan, installed on the new disk, my TM of Yosemite Backup is in conflict with that?

  Thanks in advance for any comments and help!

  The f

  I recommend to format the new external SSD for Mac OS extended (journaled) and either use Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner to load the data on the new SSD.  Installation of Snow Leopard is not necessary.

  Ciao.

  It is not so easy to change the HARD drive on this model.
  You have to remove many parts like keyboard, screen, cover and screw a lot.
  It's a little tricky, so you should have experience with this.

  As Akuma, go to a local ASP (authorized service provider) has said. They can help you replace the HARD drive.

• HP ENVY 14 2020NR: need a recommendation for a replacement hard drive

  Greetings,

  I have an a HP ENVY 14 2020NR with a hard drive died. Blue several screens before the new year, did a complete system restore, which seemed to have fixed things. Unfortunately, after 10 days the blue screens are back. The unit is several years old, and my next step is to replace the hard drive. I have all the data backed up elsewhere and ready DVD restore disc.

  Here are the specs of the drive:

  Hitachi disc HARD 7 K 750-750. P/N H2T7501672S.

  I am trying to identify the right replacement hard drive. Looks like it was 750 GB at 7200 RPM. Some choice out there. Can anyone recommend the correct replacement hard drive?

  Thanks in advance!

  Based on the laptop HP ENVY 14 - Maintenance Service Guide, it seems that your computer supports the following readers and more.

  6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard drives (HD) and the SSDS (SSD), 9.5 mm (. 37-in) and thicknesses of 7.0 mm (. 28 - in)
  Customer-accessible
  Serial ATA
  Supports the following hard disk configurations:
  ● 750 GB (7200 RPM)
  ● 640 GB (7200 RPM)
  ● 500 GB (7200 RPM)
  ● 320 GB (7200 RPM)

  Supports the following simple SSD drive configurations:
  ● 128 GB mSATA,
  ● 80 GB, mSATA
  ● 160 GB, SATA

  According to the above information, any hard disk 2.5 "SATA or SSD of 9.5 mm and 7.0 mm profile should work fine. This includes the newer readers who are more capacious.

• A100 replacement hard drive

  I saw the other posts on this but no definitive answer.
  My HARD drive is dying and needs to be replaced. I see the posotion from the LHS is under the Palm drive and there seems to be one removable flap - other posts say there is only one screw to remove, but there is no visible screws under the machine.

  I've changed hard disks on other Toshibas with absolutetly no problem - someone at - it ideas?

  Hello

  Replace HARD drive on this laptop is not simply the procedure. I'm not 100% sure, but the entire Palm rest/Touchpad should be removed first. HARD drive cover is fixed with a screw, but you'll see him only if the Palm is deleted.

  When this screw is removed, hold the HARD drive tab and pull the HARD drive bracket. Next step is to detach the HARD drive from the HARD drive support.
  The device is quite new and first of all, check if the warranty is still valid.

• Satellite L300D-10 q recovery DVD Can be used on the replacement hard drive?

  Hello

  I was wondering if the DVD Recovery allows to install Vista on a replacement hard drive? The original hard drive is too small at 160 GB contain all the files that I use the virtual operating system image. The disk hard 500 GB of replacement must be large enough for that.

  The reason why I need to Vista, it's that the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu 8.04.1 and 8.10, cause the fan to run at full speed all the time which is very annoying. So for the moment I can only use Linux in a virtual machine.

  I intend to stay with Toshiba, though, as my two latest portable Toshiba Satellite a PII and a PIII still work today, and both have had Linux on them.

  Now, back to my story, I intend to remove the existing laptop, hard drive use DVD recovery to install to external USB 500 GB disk, replace the existing hard drive in starting up the laptop from the USB and copy my data overall. Before you reformat the old drive as external storage, I will replace in the laptop with 500 GB drive and the test so I can boot from the new drive.

  Key question will be the change of equipment, i.e. the new hard disk of 500 GB prevent Vista to install or activate?

  Thank you very much

  Vista itself can handle huge HARD drive sizes, but the question is: the recovery disc will be happy with 500 GB? The laptop will recognize 500 GB?

  I think it will work very well, because the new laptops are released with 320 HARD drive. 500 GB is not far.

  Its a few trial and error unless anyone here has tested a disc 500 GB HARD themselves.

• Satellite L70-A-109: is-replace HARD drive empty my warranty?

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite L70-A-109, but I would like to replace the HARD disk with a disk hard solid state
  Now replace the drive HARD void my warranty?

  I can replace the ram and I see that the ram and HARD drive are under the same door

  Also if I can replace it without voiding my warranty where can I find the drivers?

  It seems, for my model, that there is no drivers well think I find the drivers for the normal series of L70 - A
  those are the same?

  I hope toshiba can help me with this question...

  Replacing the HARD drive does not affect the warranty.
  Here all the details and instructions how to replace the HARD drive

  > I find the drivers for the normal series of L70 - those who are the same?
  Did you find another Satellite L70-A-xxx model on the page of the Toshiba UE driver?
  I imagine that you didn t.

  You'll find drivers choose L70 - A short numbers and additional satellite as PSKNEE, PSKN2E, etc.
  At the bottom of the unit, you will find a label providing different numbers.
  There is also a number something like this: + PSKNEE-00D003BT +.
  It's _Model_ part number and in this case to get the drivers, you need search satellites L70 - A PSKNEE.

  Hope you know how to search the drivers now.

• Satellite M40x-112 - need advice on upgrade HARD disk

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M40x-112, it is almost 3 years and the hard drive (TOSHIBA MK8025GAS ATA) has problems, I need to change it, but I don't know a lot of this so I ask for help and advice on which hard drive should I buy for this laptop.

  I searched and read, but I still don't understand... In my view, there are many interfaces like PATA, SATA, ATA, then I saw ATA-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 also Ultra-ATA/100, EIDE, IDE etc etc... so I'm really confused...

  What interface using my laptop? What interface to use the new hard disk?

  And what hard drive 2.5 "is good? You will find a large number of companies, which is the best hard drives for laptops?
  My current hard drive is fat 80 GB. I would switch to 160 or 250, this guy do you recommend?

  Thank you all very much for your help,

  I understand that very well the different titles of interface HARD drive confused most people me too in the past ;)

  Then I would try to clarify some things;
  There are two important differences between the interfaces of HDD; IDE (ATA, PATA and also known as EIDE) and SATA (SATA).

  ATA - 5, Ultra ATA/66 means Ultra DMA 3, 4 (44.4, 66.7) means UDMA/66
  ATA - 6 means that ultra ATA/100 that means UDMA 5 (100) means UDMA/100
  ATA - 7, Ultra-ATA/133 means that UDMA 6 (133) means UDMA/133

  and so now ;)

  Your laptop supports the drive HARD IDE (ATA-6) Enhanced interface and you must use the IDE HDD (NOT of SATA)

  I'm not sure on the size HARD disk max because Toshiba doesn't provide official information on the max supported drives hard but a 100 GB maybe 120 GB of HARD drive might be possible.

  Best regards

• Error "Cannot read disc" after nc4200 replacement hard drive

  Hi all

  I read through the postings but did not see an exact match for the issue I'm having.

  My 5 year old needed nc4200 finally a replacement hard drive.  I bought a new 120 GB ATA-6 WD Scorpio Blue 40 GB ATA-7 Toshiba plant.  I was able to clean up a few errors on the old disk and the Partition Magic 8.0 successfully used to copy all the data in a single primary partition on the new 120 GB drive using all available space.

  I started with success the drive on the Windows desktop using a separate post of full PC.  When I inserted the new, WD drive in my nc4200 however I got an error "cannot read disc" immediately after the MESSAGE.  The BIOS is a short wee on tests of diagnostic and other information on the hard drive, but I ran with success a test drive in the menu of the BIOS with the net results.

  I have advanced and updated the BIOS to version F.0F thinking there may be some 1024 cylinders deliver or other incompatibility big disk, but this new version also shows the error of reading.  At this point, I'm stumped.  Why this new boot in my desktop PC drive but fail in my nc4200?  What do I have to use some tools HP blessed to make this readable disk?

  Thanks in advance!

  Well, I guess you can call this one resolved.  I sent the WD Scorpio Blue 120 GB drive (model WD1200BEVE) and ordered a WD Scorpio Blue 80 GB (model WD800BEVE) instead.  I cloned my old Toshiba 50 GB 5400 RPM (model MK6026GAX) with Acronis True Image WD Edition.  I installed the new drive in my nc4200 and pulled upward on the first try!

  I'm still not sure why the 120 GB didn't work.  The only thing I noticed is that the done 120 GB one noise rattling and the 80 GB is not then maybe the drive was defective.  I'll never know however, if it was the drive or the size of the drive, that was the question, but I hope that this info will be useful to someone else looking to exchange a HD of aging in a nc4200.

• Satellite Pro 2100: How do I reinstall the OS after replacing HARD drive

  I have a Toshiba SP2100 and I want to replace the hard drive, but I don't have any recovery CD
  So, how can I put the o/s back on?

  Try to connect the external HARD drive to the computer via the USB port and try to copy all content from the internal HARD disk external HARD drive. Then you could try to insert the external HARD drive in the laptop.
  But I've never tried this procedure and don t know if it will work.

  But usually after replacing HARD drive you should boot from the Boot CD as recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
  After the installation of clean Windows OS, you can visit the Toshiba drivers and you can download and install the drivers of Toshiba and utilities.

• Replacement hard drive for Portege P2010 - part number required

  Can someone tell me what is the part number for a replacement hard drive for Portege P2010 is? It has the latest version of the BIOS installed, if the capacity of the HARD disk can be greater than the original 30gig?

  Thank you

  Martin

  Hello Martin

  Unfortunately I was found no specific information. If I'm right, this unit needs 1.9 HDD and I think it can be much more expensive as 2.5 standard.

  Check it please this page http://www.laptopbits.co.uk/Database_files/Toshiba_Portege_2000_and_2010_series_spares.htm
  You will find a few pieces of upgrade for your device.

  Good bye

• Satellite 1410 714 extremely slow after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite 1410-714 which has had a hard drive failure. I replaced the drive, but now the computer is extremely slow. Windows has been reinstalled, it was really slow too much and now it takes minutes for windows to start.

  I suspect that something might have broken on the motherboard and the hard disk. I checked mobo replacement parts, but have not found anything for-714, so a 1410 mobo compatible? This model has a processor celeron 1.8.

  Thanks for help.

  Hannu

  Hello

  I can t think the motherboard is broken after replacing HARD drive.
  I suggest updating the BIOS first. Maybe your old BIOS have a few problems with the most recent HARD drive.
  Please check site driver Toshiba for the latest version of BIOS.

  Have you used any anties Virus applications?

• 20-d113w want to: replacement hard drive

  Hi, I looked around the Board for instructions on replacing hard drive. I intend to replace the original sata drive 1 TB with a seagate 1 TB sata3 drive. I know this is probably a stupid question, but just installing the new drive and run the recovery software, or something must be done again disc before I run the software. Thanks for any help you can give

  If you reinstall from the recovery discs set, it will not make a difference.  If you use a cloning software, it may depend on the package.  If you need to reinstall using a Windows disk, it should be able to themselves deploy by asking the user questions.

• replacement hard drive and using recovery discs made by myself.

  HPdv6 mobile 2119tx. After replacing hard drive and loading the recovery discs (which I did) successfully, now it reboot something messages cannot locate the disc or load bootable disc (sorry, don't remember the exact wording, but back to the beginning). Could this be because I replaced a 650 GB drive with a 500 GB drive.

  Hello:

  Normally you cannot use recovery on a smaller hard disks.

  But you should be able to boot from the first disc of recovery at least and see what happens.

  To do this, you must have the first disc in your dvd player.

  Restart the PC and at the beginning of your homescreen HP, tap key ESC then choose one time start in the menu.  Since then, select the DVD drive and continue.

  If the ESC key method does not work, press the F9 key instead.

  It depends on the type of BIOS in your PC (normally according to his age) which key you need to type.

• 1260 US G7: replacement hard drive HP g7 1260us with Home Premium Windows 7 (64-bit) now lost for a start to the top

  Received under member declaration of support in his last paragraph, but only gives not the link still since I wasn't not answer you immediately... does anyone have this link noted below for me to go and burn a DVD.

  (I thought when I downloaded my files on a USB flash drive before you recover he would have windows 7 on it, but when I tried the new replacement hard drive I get: no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.)  When I read the files on the USB stick on another computer, it reads:

  _______________________________________________________________________________________________

  In any event, at least, we can connect you to an official Microsoft Windows 7 disc download, which you can use to put Windows 7 on the computer and with some drivers from this site, we can get you going again. You'll need another computer with internet access and a DVD burner or another flash drive.

  The key must rely on the label inside the battery bay or your laptop.

  I think that what you did was copy the program to restore the laptop computer files. Actually let Recovery Manager do the recovery media by running the Recovery Manager program.
