  3. With the help of the rollback on the CD "repair" feature I restored it (backup on external USB connected HDD image) image.
  4. Later, I check the 'properties' from the 'device' (the new HDD of 750 GB and observed that Windows 7 also pointed out this new HARD drive as a 500 GB drive (compared to a 750 GB drive).

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Problem solved.

  I solved the problem as follows:

  1. I chose to reload Windows 7 from "scratch" after your positive validation of this approach.
  2. This required me to reload all applications (for example, Microsoft Office).
  3. Note: A reload of the OS and Applications from "scratch" requires access to the "Product Key".
  4. During the initial charging of Windows 7 and the formatting of the 'new' drive Windows 7 provided the possibility to remove the partitions (remove/reorder) that had been affected by the recovery process 'attempt' described above. With the help of this function I eliminated the partitions and 'Add' the "unallocated" space to the overall capacity of 750 GB HARD drive.
  5. After reloading the OS, I checked via 'Properties' that all of the 750Go were present and available - success.

  Thank you for your support.

• Tecra M9-185 - 750 GB HARD drive not recognized

  I have Tecra M9-185 (PTM91E-0G4045G3) with BIOS Version 1.90 dated the 29.02.2008.
  It came with HARD drive of 160 GB, which is quite old and needs replacement. I want to upgrade the HARD drive. I tried to use the 750 GB HARD drive, but it was not recognized by the BIOS.

  Is it possible to upgrade the HARD disk? Is there a limit to the ability of the new HARD disk that can be installed?

  Hello

  Of course, the HARD drive can be upgraded.
  The laptop supports the SATA controller. The SATA controller is not limited to a special HARD drive size of my knowledge. 750Go should be supported too. But it might be possible that the BIOS is not able to manage these dimensions.
  Try a different SATA HDD with the smaller size.

  But question: why you n t choose an SSD (250 GB)?
  I have improved my Tecra A10 with a 250 GB SSD and the performance gain is amazing. The machine is running much faster and quieter

• Info for: mSATA SSD 80 GB and 750 GB hard drive (7200 RPM)

  I buy the 14-2160SE Envy Beats Edition and it has a double drive; SSD HARD DRIVE &. I can't find any definitive info on the HP site or on the web. I am familiar with both types of readers, but not both on the same computer. How does it work? What is the purpose? If it switches automatically or pass them? And, especially, it works for the intended use? Although this is my first post, I'm a believer in public forums, so I don't know that I'll be back as soon as I got my desire. Thanks in advance for your help. Sam

  The 80 GB SSD can contain the operating system and the 750 GB hard drive will be for storage. SSDS are very (very) fast but expensive, so you can get the speed without the monstrous price advantage by combining a little cheaper SSD with a hard drive for storage. I have a 500 GB SSD and it costs more than $600, but I thought I got a good deal. My laptop takes only a single drive. You have the advantage of being able to use the same laptop 2.

  Readers will appear as readers symbolized under "Computer" (Windows Explorer). The SSD will be "C:\ >. Just be sure to move the "My Documents" folder to drive hard (if this has not already been done). Also when you install a new program and it asks the path where you want to install it, put it on the hard drive. In this way, you keep the SSD of McNeil. 80 GB will be plenty as long as you don't try to store large media files.

• 0x8078012D error code when you back up the new pc for external hard drive

  I have a brand new HP Pavilion Windows 7 Home Premium desktop/8 GB memory/1 terabyte hard drive. Just hung up 3 days ago, and after installing my software, attempted to perform a full backup with the image of a brand new Toshiba Canvio 500 GB external hard drive. I get 0x8078012D error code, without interruption.  I did a check on the external hard drive disk, and it was good. I did a check for virus on the external hard drive, and that was good. I have triple checked the settings for backup and they are as I want them to be. -What is the Toshiba external hard drive or my bad nine HP desktop computer?  I had to call HP tech support yesterday as 2 programs, I had already installed has stopped working, but also Java and Adobe Flash Player. HP technical support was not only bad in his work, but right has supported up and hard with me and talked to me. I told her to give me control of my computer and down the phone that I reported him. He wrecked settings that I had, I did a system restore on the eve of the appellant, which was day 2 of owning the new pc. Now everything works as it was and I think that the 2 programs stopped working due to a Microsoft update that I had done that day. I don't have re-uploaded the 6 latest updates from MS and pc seems to work very well, but I can still save on the Toshiba Canvio external hard drive. Last resort, I reformatted the Toshiba Canvio to NTFS, even if it has already formatted to. Still can not make a backup on the external drive. I don't know what to do. Return the pc?  Return the Toshiba Canvio?  I'm in debt $650 for these 2 pieces of metal. Help please!

  Hello

  The error would have occurred if the services related to backup Windows could have been disabled. This can also occur due to other security software installed on the computer.

  Y at - it a third-party security software installed on the computer?

  I suggest you to check if the services are running and in manual mode.

  You can follow the methods:

  Method 1:

  Follow the steps to check if services are running. If not, restart them and check if that helps:

  (a) click Start.

  (b) type Services in the start search.

  (c) in the Services window, search for the shadow copy volume.

  (d) right click on the Service.

  (e) click Properties.

  (f) select Start on ManualType.

  (g) click OK.

  (h) now repeat the same steps for Windows backup service as well.

  Check if you find the same error trying to save using the hard disk. If Yes, proceed to method 2.

  Method 2:

  I suggest to temporarily disable the security software installed on the computer and check if it helps. Check out the link to do so:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Important note: security software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  It will be useful.

  Just reply to us with the results. We will be happy to help you.

• New Satellite L650-108 HARD drive died

  Hello

  Two months ago, I bought the laptop mentioned above and while using a few days ago, he went suddenly slow and crashed with a blue screen error. He said he would restart and when he did, he couldn't find the hard drive. I was in the BIOS and it is not listed there, I tried it on another laptop and it didn't work, I tried to put in a basket and that has not worked and I tried a few CD bootable (including Ubuntu Live) and none of them could see the HARD drive. Are there alternative methods that I could use to try to repair?

  As he is still relatively new and under warranty, that the process would be send to Toshiba and in-depth how are their controls on the drive? I don't know how much confidence I'm from a stranger, perhaps rooting through the details on my hard drive of things I've heard in the past!

  Thank you.

  > Are there alternative methods, that I could use to try to resolve this?

  For me its very clear number and don t think you need other methods to check the HARD drive.
  If the HARD drive is not in the BIOS, this means that the HARD drive is dead and must be replaced.

  The laptop is under warranty so get in touch with Toshiba ASP (authorized service provider), your country, to get the new HARD drive.

• How to change the Satellite L670D-103 using new SSD 80 GB HARD drive?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L670D-103 with a 320 GB HARD drive running at 5400 RPM which is too slow for me.

  So I plan to change this factory by a new SSD HDD to increase the performance of the overall system :)

  But as the SSD are expensive, I have only a 80 GB SSD.

  I built the recovery on a USB media and I want to use it to restore my system to the new SSD (I previously did the space needed to ensure that all data can be stored on my new SSD 80 GB space; p)

  Retrieving SSD partitioning new procedure is done without error, but when copying image to restore data to freshly created the partition, one not enough space error stop the process!

  It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb).

  So, how can I restore mysystem on my new SSD?

  Thank you
  Stéphane.

  > It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb)

  To my knowledge, you have different recovery options:

  (* 1) * recovery of factory default software

  (a) recovery to out of box state
  (b) recovery without changing the HARD drive partitions
  (c) recovery of a custom size partition

  (* 2) * "erase the HARD drive.

  I think that if you choose factory default software recovery of-> recovery to out of box state then the recovery would create exactly the same size of partition on the new SSD which were available on the 320 GB HARD drive.
  I think this might be the reason why you have received this message.

  Perhaps you need to choose the 3rd option Recovery on a custom size partition

  What do you think?

• Satellite 5205-S505 - how to install the new OS after replacing HARD drive

  Hello.

  Installed a new hard drive. How to install an operating system?

  I thank.

  Hello

  You have a Toshiba Recovery disk?
  If so, then start on this disc.
  The installation process should start automatically and you must follow the instructions on the screen.

  If you n t have such recovery disc, then you will need to use a Microsoft Windows disk in order to install the operating system.

  Satellite 5205-S505 is a series of laptop Toshiba us and old drivers can be found on the Toshiba U.S. driver page:

• Why Toshiba use Hitachi HARD drive in laptops instead of Toshiba HDD?

  I noticed a bug in 160 GB drive HARD Hitachi - he releases a read/write speed if there are vibrations. I want to buy another drive HARD, Toshiba, think but subj worry - worth Hitachi Toshiba HARD drive?

  Hello

  In of many non-Toshiba computers laptops you will find Toshiba hard drives. because of that I think that both of them are high-quality drives. If you think that the HARD drive on your laptop X computer is defective contact ASP and if the warranty is still valid, you will get a new.

• Satellite 2800 - BIOS does not recogize Toshiba 40 GB HARD drive

  I have an old Toshiba S2800 (if-200 questions in total). He was works very well with a 10 GB HARD drive for ages. Yesterday, I thought that putting his hard drive to a bigger.
  Removed the old and installed a new hard drive, Toshiba MK4026GAX. On the power on the BIOS does not detect the HARD drive at all. I can hear the humming noise (platter (s) rotating), but apart from that, there is nothing. The BIOS indicates disk mode HARD is "unused" and also on page 2 is none shown on the primary hard disk IDE channel. (tried to boot Linux from a CD to see if who sees anything on the IDE channel, but apparently the primary IDE channel is disabled if the BIOS does not detect a master or a slave connected device). Change the mode of the master to the slave na HARD drive? t change a thing.
  The BIOS version is 2.00. Tried to find an older one without success.

  I thought that the BIOS has a limit of 32GB, but when I connect a 120 GB hard drive (WD scorpio), it has been recognized by the BIOS and the PC was ready to boot from the device.

  I would have thought computers laptop Toshiba were at least compatible with another device (e.g. hard drive) Toshiba

  Someone has any idea how to operate?

  Thanks in advance!
  Robbie

  Hello

  It of very strange that the 120 GB HDD has worked on your old Satellite 2800 unit.
  I know that the BIOS would not recognize these large HARD drive sizes.

  In any case, seems the purchased disk is not compatible with your laptop and you can buy one that is supported.
  I discovered that the 20 GB HDD MK2016GAP could be compatible

• New X120e: slowdown in hard drive problems

  Hello. I bought a brand-new x120e last month and I feel stutters intermittent video (but not audio usually). He plays very well for a few minutes, then I get massive frame drops and resumes after a few seconds. This problem can be seen with mpeg videos 4 code of SD resolution. Initially I suspected that my videos have been corrupt, but they are actually perfectly fine (even video will be stutter at various points. They are also very well on other machines). I tried at least 10 different videos, and the problem can be seen in each of them.

  I tried VLC, windows media, classic CCCP Media Player, player and they all have the same problem.

  When I look at the CPU usage history, there is no unusual spikes or falls in the use of the CPU for stuttering (constant at 20% or more).

  I had the same problem with the stock drivers. I installed the latest update of drivers and bios Lenovo site but same problem (I also tried the drivers far more directly from AMD, but uninstalled prompty them because they seem to break the brightness of the screen.) Unfortunately I forgot to try video playback).

  I tried to disable all the options from the Catalyst Control Panel, but no improvement in video post-processing.

  I'm sure this isn't malware or virus related - I have MS security essentials running home and I didn't download all applications other than steam, chrome and above media players.

  Flash (youtube, etc) and video Netflix seem unaffected.

  I suspected that maybe my HDD wakes up from his sleep after a few minutes of inactivity, but I doubt that's it. Power management settings are defined so that my hard drive goes to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity, but the saccade occur more often than that. (Besides, I don't think that video playback counts as inactivity)

  Any who are having similar problems?

  Thank you.

  While I was watching the resource monitor during playback of movies, and there are spike use highly visible hard drive for stuttering. I tried to increase the size of buffer in VLC settings and that seems to help a lot.

  But I found a behavior more disturbing while experimentation. It seems that whenever there is any vibrations or movements, the drive slows down. This could be constantly observed by typing or moving the laptop while the benchmark of HARD drive is running. It is about half of what he would normally get.

  I don't know if this is a defect or some sort of safety mechanism, but I have half a mind to replace it with the SSD. Users of laptop lenovo saw something like that?

  EDIT: Well, too bad. I have discovered that now the Protection System Control Panel activates that allows me to set the sensitivity.

• Do I have to buy a new license if my hard drive breaks down?

  I recently bought an upgrade from vista to windows7. I have everything backed up before upgrading, but couldn't do it once the upgrade is complete. About 3 days after I installed upgrading of primary and secondary hard drives both failed... Obviously, portable hard drive do not last as long as computers desktop and 5 years is a long life of your laptop, or so I thought. in any case, I have two new 750 GB momentus xt hybrid SSD of HD and I'm ready to rock but no OS because the key does not work since is not attached to the HD crashed. Any ideas? Please help, I am already tired of using my laptop to marry; his old and say that it is the turtle, and not the rabbit would be cruel to the turtle.

  Like you bought an 'upgrade' I presume that you have actually installed as such on your failed HARD drive now.

  With a new drive HARD vacuum, you have no earlier version of the OS (Vista) for the drive of W7 upgrade to recognize.

  This may be a workaround,

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/31402-clean-install-upgrade-Windows-7-version.html

  or if it does not work you can try this method of double installation Vista, which is a valid path to a clean install.

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/68767-clean-install-upgrade-Vista.html

  If it will not always turn on then you are going to have to plead your case to MS via the telephone support option.

  It is up to you to ensure that your license is valid and that you do not violate the EULA

  It just loks like the new graphics card prevents the hard drive to run.

  All attached cables (power cable 6 pin) and locked firmly into the PCI slot.

  Is it possible that the new card draws so much power that it prevents the hard drive of the race?

  I'm not familiar with current PC for sale, regarding upgrades.  Since is considered a new HP, try looking at the list of options on the HP website.  Most higher end PC have the options that you choose before buy you, to customize the generation.  Choose a model with options that match your criteria now and notice the upgrade options - write down them - to avoid confusion later.  OR go with a customized version, but this could mean significant spending.  It is the hand off the coast between prebuilts and personalized.
