• Need to retrieve the HARD drive off accident T61

  My T61 crashed a while back and I would like to recover the files from the hard drive. The T61 used BIOS protection to prevent any intrusion HDD. I have my password, but no way to use it. I can attach it to another computer via the USB port, the drive will appear as unallocated. Suppose I need to ask for the password. Don't know how to do this. I have an older T60, but have been hesitant to connect this drive in it as the main drive, because the components are a little different and may not react as well. Certainly not worth damage to a work computer.

  What is the best way to recover these files?

  Thank you!

  Welcome to the forum!

  You won't damage the T60 by inserting the hard disk stuck in it, and the material must be close enough for you to be able to clear the password in the BIOS and then to recover the files.

  Good luck.

• Need to replace the hard drive on HP DM4 2165-DX, need info on compatible disks.

  Hello.

  The hard drive in my HP DM4 2165-DX failed.

  Can someone tell me what [SSD and non - SSD] HARD disk are compatible can I buy and trade?

  Thank you.

  You will need the service manual you can download here:

  Manual

  Page 43 shows how to swap out hard drive.

  There are 9.5 mm thick and 2.5 inch wide SATA drives, mechanical or SSD. Eventually, it was mounted with a 160 GB SSD, but you can install more if you wish. I recommend at least a mechanical 7200 rpm or a hybrid disc if you do not want an SSD, but if you can afford to spend the money a SSD is the only way to go.

  It is the SSD, I have my own laptop (I have a 512 GB of the same drive model):

• Do you need to partition the hard drive to install Windows Vista Home Premium?

  I try to install Vista Home Premium on a Dell XPS 420 desktop computer and want to know if the hard disk must be partitioned before that I can do?

  If I need to, how to do?

  Thank you.

  You need at least a partition on the hard drive before you install OS, using management of build-in the windows disk, but there a lot of limit, if it could not reach your goal, you could use the 3rd party freeware

• HP Pavilion g7-1167, which is needed to replace the hard drive

  In fact, I have a few questions.

  First of all, I was streaming How I Met Your Mother online when a box appeared and gave a kind of message (I don't remember now). He was just sitting there, so I restarted the computer. After the reboot, the computer would not go beyond the screen "start wondows. I ran a dignostic and it says that the short test failed. I then ran a diagnostic in the bios and it ran the short test, he failed, then he ran about 5% of the test long then stopped and said "hard drive full 1."

  After looking online, I think it's a sign that it crashes. I already ordered the new hard drive and the kit at HP.

  But now I need to know how to get all my info out of it. My brother has an external hard drive that I can use, but I don't know if it will work.

  In addition, once I have installed the new hard drive I think I need to re - install windows and something else? Do I have to re - install and how do I do that if I don't have the disks? Can I do a recovery on that disk now, or is it too late? If so, how do I?

  I'm sorry, I don't know anything about computers, so any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  First of all, about your existing data, here are some options that you can try.

  1. one possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is to follow the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can launched from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files. 

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windo...

  2 another option would be to remove the drive HARD, place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

  External 2.5 HARD drive caddy ".

  **********************************************************************

  Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new drive, I don't think that you will be able to create a viable together your disc recovery disc HARD existing, but you can order a set of replacement of the HP recovery discs using the link below.

  Order HP recovery disks.

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

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

• Need to replace the hard drive on laptop G56

  Hi all

  I have a hp g56-108sa laptop. I had the hard drive replaced once under warranty and there yet again, but I don't want to not wait 10 days so he could be replaced again if I want to get a new drive hard but with a greater capacity (mine is 250 GB and I'm looking for ay buying a 320 GB one) , and I want to replace. Is this feasible?

  I ordered a few partners hp recovery disks that I stupidly didn't create a when I had the chance. The reason I ask this question, it is that I've read that other people have had problems by replacing the original drive with the largest on laptops

  Thank you in anticipation

  Hello

  You should have no problem with a 320 GB HARD drive, the drive on the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  Hard drive 320 GB

  The procedure to replace the hard drive is detailed on Page 37 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Once this is done, just use the recovery disks you ordered to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - they will also recreate the Partition D of recovery on the new HARD drive.

• 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.

• I need to replace the hard drive of my Acer Aspire all-in-one 5600U?

  I have an Acer Aspire all-in-one 5600U. The other day the power in our House went out due to a storm. After she came back and went to use my computer, the screen was black and said "Reboot and select proper... boot device." ». I tried to download the tool of creation of media to a USB port and start the system using this. I can get into the menu troubleshooting but nothing works. When I try to make a custom Windows installation, it says "no signed device drivers were found". What is a hard drive problem? In the BIOS, under Boot Options is does not list a specific hard drive. It just says: 'hard drive '. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.

  Thanks, that's what I needed to know. Appreciate the help, IronFly.

• Satellite L300D-10B - need to replace the HARD drive

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba satellite L300D-10B and I need to replace the broken hdd in my laptop.
  It is a hitachi 160 GB at 5400 RPM SATA.

  Is it possible to move to a greater capacity (500 GB) and a little faster (7200 RPM).
  is - that someone at - he had success with any particular model?

  Hello

  In my opinion, is not a big problem to use a faster and larger HARD drive.
  The laptop supports the SATA HDD controller and this controller must be able to manage these drives.

  Welcome them
