• Install the new hard drive on Satellite Pro 6100

  Hello

  I have the Satellite Pro 6100 and the hard drive has failed. Bought a new hard drive but have no idea where to begin to install it. Also, I have the product key for windows xp pro, but don't have a disc. Is there a way to get around get one, or someone has any ideas please?

  Thank you

  Michelle

  Hmmmm... It's very strange that you n t have idea how to start. Throughout history, there are only two options:
  -for the installation of an operating system you can use the original Toshiba Recovery disk that came with this laptop. If you n t have it then
  -use the Microsoft installation for the installation of the OS disc. All the drivers, tools and utilities must be installed Additionally one by one. Each of them you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads

  Please note: the product key at the bottom belongs to original recovery image so you probably won't be able to use it for the activation of the operating system.

• Need help to install the new hard drive in Satellite Pro M10

  Hi all

  My hard drive died in my M10 Pro Satellite so I decided to adapt to another.
  It fits very well in the caddy, but just does not want to slot into place correctly as something seems to be stopped.
  The M10 only accepts a certain brand/model?
  Also, nobody knows this as the largest capacity M10 will accept?
  Thank you very much.

  As much as I know should not be problem at all. Take the old and the new HARD drive and compare the connectors. I hope that they are the same. I can only imagine that the new HD is not placed correctly in the HARD drive bracket. Make sure that the new is placed as an old man after his retirement from the laptop.

  As for max capacity of HARD drive, there is no precise information and we can only speculate on this. Try to use the search option on this forum. Maybe someone already talked to upgrade the HDD on Sam/Satellite Pro M10.

  The fact is that Satellite Pro comes with 30, 40 and 60 GB hard drives. How many GB does your new HARD drive?

• Problems of formatting of the new hard drive in Macbook Pro

  Hello

  My internal hard drive in my MacBook Pro mid 2012 broke down. So I installed a new hard drive a ST1000LM014 of Seagate 1 TB hybrid discs which according to IFIXIT.com must be compatible.

  I then boot the server Apple Macbook and party in disk Utillity to format the hard drive. The hard drive is visible and I'm then in the partition, choose the 1 partition, Mac OS X (journaled) + GUID. But while the partition that I get the error message failed to file system format.

  I tried different options in disk Utillity and I am able to format the disk using FAT or ExFat. But it does not help me to use my mac hard drive.

  Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? And it does not seem like a problem with the functionality of the hard drive?

  Thank you

  You must select the disk of material-name (upper, outermost level descriptor), not Volume name.

• New hard drive gets the INVALID disc Windows 7 64 bit upgrade product key!

  I installed Windows 7 Home Premium and within 24 hours, my hard drive is dead. I replaced the hard drive and reinstalling Windows 7 Home Premium with 64-bit disc. Everything went well until the time of the entry of the product key. When I typed in the key of this program returned an INVALID KEY message and instructed me to check and retype the key, I did. Product key message invalid was repeated. I have not installed a previous version of windows before you reinstall 7, and the installation program never asked me to check my right to use the upgraded version (Yes, I used the CUSTOM install method).

  The INVALID PRODUCT KEY message due to the absence of an earlier version of windows is detected on the new hard drive? I need to install my OLD version of windows before proceeding with Windows 7, can I? Please help me understand what is happening with this PC. I convinced my sister to be upgraded because Windows 7 is SO much in my PC, so that she bought the upgrade disc and tried for a week to get its system works as well as mine has inlaw for several months. I have not heard of someone having this much trouble with the upgrade to Windows 7.

  Product keys don't care equipment. They only care about the version of Windows that you are trying to install. (However, you cannot validate a facility later but this is another topic).

  If your product key is rejected, then you are two typing errors or you are using a key that does not match the DVD that you are using. This could happen if you use a MS Office key for a Windows installation to a key of Windows 7 OEM for a DVD retail of Windows 7.

• CD/DVD driver removed from the registry in XP Pro with Service Pack 3

  I think that my CD/DVD driver has been removed in the registry in XP Pro with SP3. It does not appear in the system, or Device Manager. I tried solutions provided Microsoft Fix - it and have had no success. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? If nothing else, what is and how can I attempt a remote restore? The CD/DVD drive has no access to the system path, so I can't use my recovery disk. Thank you!!

  You have posted a question of Windows XP to a group of win7?

  Assuming that it is a desktop computer turn off / shut off the current, open your case and verify / reconnect the cables to the cd

  And at the end of the day, maybe your cd/dvd has not, I suppose that any other err devices listed in Device Manager?

• Inspiron 6000 new hard drive is not compatible with the old

  I just bought a drive hard 2.5 "new for my Inspiron 6000, a Seagate Momentus 5400.4 (250 GB).  The interface does not seem compatible, unfortunately.

  My computer is already more than 3 years old and I replace with a HD 2 years expansion, simply unplug the old, switching on the connector and plug the new. They must have changed the interface on the new readers!

  My question: is it likely, I just need a different connector, or is the new HD totally incompatible?   I have this spec should I ask the manufacturer of HD in order to ensure that a new HD fits?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Maybe the HDD IDE controller supports only 28-bit LBA and it would mean that more than 120 GB of HARD drive are not supported.
  In this case, you can only use hard drives that are not more than 120 GB.

  I think that you will need to test a HARD drive with a smaller size

  The site is authentic.  You have two options when you do your relocation:

  Method 1

  1. Download SP3 form the Microsoft site and burn it to a cd or copy it to a flash drive.
  2. Reinstall Windows with your original Windows XP CD.
  3. Use the copy of SP3 that you burned on the CD or copied to the flash drive and update the machine to SP3.  Note that if you have an original CD of 'gold' of Windows XP without service pack that you install SP1a or SP2 before you install SP3, SP2 is available here , download and save it with SP3 before making your relocation.

  Method 2

  1. Download SP3 from the Microsoft site and it wake to your Windows XP CD.
  2. Install Windows XP with your slipstreamed CD and your installation will be in SP3, when installation is complete you will not need to install service packs, you'll just have to do some other updates that have been released after SP3.

  The http://lifehacker.com/386526/slipstream-service-pack-3-into-your-windows-xp-installation-cd is legitimate, it only gives you instructions on how to create and burn a CD of SP3 slipstreamed Windows XP.  If this seems too daunting then use method 1 to install Windows.

  Both methods are very good but method 2 allows a nicer cleaner installation, everything is installed to SP3 level and there are no remnants of previous service packs.  While creating the slipstreamed CD may appear to be a time consuming task, in the end, it will be a time saver and afterwards if you ever have problems with the installation of Windows you may need this cd SP3 slipstreamed to all repairs on the installation.  You can create the SP3 cd now and do it ready and at hand for future needs.

• Installed new hard drive on laptop with Windows 7 can install Windows XP on external hard drive and plug it into USB?

  Original title: Win7 Pro + HD Ext different OS
  I just installed a new hard drive in my laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
  Would it not be possible to install WIn XP or Win 98 + older software (Win 98 or XP) on an external hard drive, then plug it into USB, laptop, in order to run old programs of 16-32 bit?

  It would be best to run Windows 98 or XP in a Virtual Machine, if you need to run older programs.

  You can use a free software such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMware Player:

• With the help of recovery on the new hard drive disks

  Hello

  I have an old t160.uk of Pavilion.  The hard disk starts to sound a bit grumpy.  I have a spare I want to replace it with.  Can I create recovery discs using the partition, and then replace the hard drive and reinstall windows xp on the new drive? or the recovery disks only works on the original hard drive?

  See you soon,.

  Hirroshi wrote: what determines if the new hard drive will be compatible with the recovery disk?  Could I connect the new hard drive in another Bay and try to use the recovery disk, before removing my old hard drive?

  Hello Hirroshi, it seems that drives hard very little HP only work in an HP computer, or so I said. I think it has to do with some code that HP puts in the Master Boot Record, but that's just a guess. I read on the Forum that this is the case.

  I suggest that you delete the partition on the replacement hard drive, and then create a new partition and format the hard drive. You should be able to use the recovery disk, if they are not damaged and that you have a valid burn.

  You can try to install the replacement hard drive in the system you propose, and it can work very well. It's certainly worth a try.

  Here is a link that shows how to perform a recovery facility when a hard drive is replaced.

• Satellite A100-529 and new HARD drive

  I bought a new HARD drive: Samsung HM320JI (320 GB/SATA/5400 RPM / 8 M I)
  When I turn on my laptop, it loads as 60%, and then it crashes. Why? It is not compatible?

  Satellite A100-529
  PSAA2e-01J00ZG3
  BIOS: 2.30

  What should I do?
  I formatted my new HDD using my desktop PC

  I don't understand what you mean with these 60%. 60% of what?

  In my opinion the new HARD drive should work fine with your Satellite A100.
  As Alex has already written fair use facilities for the installation of the OS recovery disk and I think everything should be OK.
