• Firebird 802 - upgrade hard drives - Solid State / hybrid anyone?

  I'm upgrading hard drives on my Firebird 802 (the part the WEAKEST of my Firebird and the SMALLEST score on Windows Index). I replaced the drive secondary with a Seagate 500 GB SATA drive at 7200 RPM (ST950042 4AS) and REALLY improved performance (I have my file on the secondary drive).

  It's now time to upgrade the MAIN disk. I'm looking at a "Hybrid" car A Seagate ST95005620AS Momentus XT 500 GB Solid State Hybrid Drive - 500 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA 3 Gb/s.

  Has anyone tried upgrading the main drive of a hybrid? For a solid Sate drive?

  Thank you

  Enzo

  Well WELL, @ 10:39 PM PST after FOUR and a HALF and TWO attempts of the hybrid drive WORKS as my main drive on my Firebird 802!

  Using the data transfer software CMS Bounceback ($14.99 per download) the program was missing several files that were essential for the computer to boot. Once I checked the transfer journal and moved the files myself IT BOOTS!

  THUS, in a few weeks, I'll post the kind of increases in speed that I experience. First comment, my drives are running @ 98 degrees F. It's HOT, so I'll have to come back a fan for the hard disk enclosure, in fact, you can put at the front of the box and jump through this background grid. Going to put in place tomorrow. Now I'm BEAT!

  Thus, it CAN BE DONE on your Firebird! Solution, HERE!

  Thank you!

• 6400 upgrade Hard Drive just SHRUNK... Once again!!!

  First of all let me state that I am ready to throw my computer and TWO 2, TWO Yes upgrade hard drives out of my 2nd floor window!

  OK, my wind is done, for now.

  I have an Inspiron 6400 with HDD 80 GB of origin (73.1 GB space.)  I wanted to go to a Western Digital 250 GB hard drive.  I bought the drive and cloned it.  My first attempt was a purchase Norton Ghost program (after the $150 for the reader, that's another $50 for the program) I cloned it from the laptop via a USB - SATA connection.  Everything seemed fine, until I swapped hard drives.  He got through the BIOS, no problem, then started to windows.  Immediately, it projected blue and that was that.  Swap return original hard drive, everything OK.  Put old drive in the spare computer/SATA slot and realized that the reader shrunk to 73.1 GB. . the SAME SIZE as the original drive.

  After days/weeks and literally probably 5 to 6 hours of troubleshooting, downloading about 4-5 programs, utilities, etc, and have EVERY single utility, test and program otherwise tell me the car was very good (less the fact that he was now 170 GB smaller) I thought that drive was simply bad then returned.  (After fighting with Tiger Direct, I had to return it directly to WD, but they at least sent me a replacement unit before that I had to return the first...  (where my 'two' drives))

  So I have the new, 2nd hard drive in hand and I say to myself that I would be the clone differently, from my desktop (Dell 690) who had a few ports SATA spare on it.  I cloned it with a different program and once again, everything seems to be okay.  It showed in my office.  This time, I've set manually the new disk partitions to what I end up with.)

  So I put the new, larger, cloned drive in the computer, booted and BAAM!  Exactly the same thing.  Blue screen stop...  And guess what... The drive is now 73.1 GB. . and once more, there is nothing I can do to bring back to 250 GB... any computer, software, utility, etc. I throw at it or throw it out in...

  Back to Western Digital... but this time, I don't know yet what to say or how to proceed.

  My questions are:

  1. What is happening and why I can't get a 250 GB drive in the machine.  (I can't find ANYWHERE a maximum limit of hard drive)

  2. any thoughts on how to get my drive to the correct size of declaration?

  I'm really steam it... I have never spent so much time on what should be a simple question in my 15 years and more and about 20 + systems of computers through my hands...

  Thanks in advance

• Can not activate CS4 Web Premium after the upgrade Hard Drive Mac OS x 11.3

  I can't access any program now CS4 after upgrade my hard drive to an SSD. I get a small dialog box saying "license for this product has stopped working. Error code 150:30"MacBook Pro, OS X 11.3 (el Capitan). The chat tech support person told me that CS4 is "not compatible" with El Capitan, but I've been using Cs4 for several months now with El Capitan, so it's not true.

  In the past, when I've got a new Mac or upgraded the operating system, I had the opportunity in an Adobe dialog to enter my serial number in, but this is not the case now.

  Nothing has changed since this morning except my newly upgraded hard drive. Except that this time I don't have a way to enter my serial number and reactivate.

  Can anyone help?

• Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  I want a bigger hard drive, but xp home edition preinstalled. If I change the hard drive I don't think that the recovery disc would work to re install xp. How can I do this without having to buy a new version of windows? Oh, it's a portable satellite pro spa10.

  Sorry, but why you are suggesting that the recovery CD will not recognize the new HARD drive?
  The fact is that if the BIOS will recognize the new HARD drive then you will have no problem for the recovery and the installation of the OS.

  If you want to upgrade the HARD drive, you must use a compatible. Then everything simply initialize-towards the top of the recovery CD and the operating system will install on the new HD disc.

• Satellite P20 upgrade hard drive

  I have a 20 P with 60 GB hard drive, which fills up quickly.
  Can I switch to one of the largest new HD such as

  Toshiba 100 GB MK1032GAX?

  I also guess that my standard would be IDE and I can't use S - Ata?
  The BIOs supports this size of HD?

  Thanks, Birgit (starting the computer)

  Hi, Birgit

  As far as I know just newer models of laptops have 100 GB hard drives. I had last year to P20. Nice unit.

  In my view there should not be any problems but of course try to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner in your country. They have experience with the hardware upgrade.

  Please let us know if the upgrade will be successful.

  Thank you

• Satellite P100-332: Upgrade HARD drive and 4 GB of RAM

  Hello

  I'm new to the forum...
  Well, I want to change 2 things on my Toshiba Satellite P100-332

  1. I have 2 GB of RAM at 533 mhz and I saw on Everest, as well as on the information that I put up. 4 GB RAM 667 mhz. If I want to ask if theres no limitation about to use a special brand of RAM? Or can I use any laptop RAM to 667 mhz? I buy 2 DIMM 2 GB 667, to stay with 4 GB RAM 667 mhz.

  2 - my laptop came with a 4200 RPM ATA hard drive and I want to know if I can change my hard drive to another as one with 7200 RPM SATA as a http://www.pcvonline.com/productDetails.aspx?prodID=7434 and I have not seen yet if the Board supports, but does anyone know if I can put one like this?

  Hello

  (1) the Satellite P100-332 RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB and you can also use the modules of 667 Mhz because AFAIK the FSB supports 667 MHz also.
  But the fact is that Windows 32-bit (Vista and XP) would see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

  (2) the laptop supports the SATA HDD controller and this is why you must use a SATA HDD. But usually it s no matter if the HDD SATA supports the 7200 RPM. In my opinion, you should be able to use these 7200 RPM HARD drive.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A120-107: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello world

  I have a 120-107 I am generally satisfied but the hard drive is too small and I think the upgrade in about 100 GB. What should I look for when buying? Any suggestions on the best drive to get? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

  Hello

  "you just have to take care, that you buy a Sata Drive in the"form factor"2.5". That's all.
  As I know, the biggest that drive was delivered with this machine was a 120 GB SATA drive.

  Regarding the manufacturer: do not hesitate to take all the manufacturers that you like. The best would be Toshiba at all ;)

• Cannot install recovery image on my Equium after upgrade HARD drive

  Hello

  I just installed a new hard drive for my Toshiba laptop Equium I contacted Toshiba who informed me that I could mount up to 1 TB, I opted for with a 500 GB at halfway.
  After installing the drive I inserted the disc of recovery after a while, it was loaded with the operation completed successfully message. Next message put in place windows could not configure windows to run on this computer hardware. Then windows could not complete the installation to install windows on installation, this restart of the computer...

  At the end of the restore process a message tells me to remove the recovery disc and output as soon as I get the laptop stops and doesn t re boot automatically. During the next restart windows message Vista starts for the first time then the cycle starts again. I tried to reload several times recovery according to the instructions, but not good.

  Any help much appreciated

  I put t know which model of laptop you have, but if the recovery image is Vista, it must be quite old model, maybe Equium A200.
  To be honest I didn't experiment with the upgrade of the HARD drive on older models, but I can imagine the image recovery are a problems with hard drives with huge capacities.

  Display please model name and which HDD you inside now.
  By the way: if possible, try to install Win7 using Microsoft installation disc. I m it will be safe works without any problem.

• problem trying to upgrade hard drive on 3000 x 4

  Hello
  I am trying to upgrade the hard drive on my Satellite 3000 x 4 a 15 GB Toshiba MK1517. I bought a Seagate ST94811A 40 GB I wanted a speed + increase in size. I removed the drive Toshiba took off the lower metal/plastic shield and its successor the the Seagate, removed the jumper to set as master, attached to the external cover and screwed in place. I turned on accidentally, I missed the BIOS screen and it says no operating system, so I rebooted then you press F2 to enter the BIOS (version 6.0 of Phoenix 4). Unfortunately, it just says not: 'no disk' next drive, he even will not allow set me all settings (it's the same thing with the Toshiba drive). The BIOS seems to have no advanced settings is a cut from the version that works only with the original Toshiba drive? I've updated to the latest version 1.6 on the Toshiba site. I really want to get the player to work please help.

  Thank you

  Will be

  Salvation will be

  I'm not sure but I think in the Phoenix BIOS, there is no setup. HARD drive is automatically recognized and you can install OS. Before doing this, it is advisable to make two or more partitions.

  If it works well please let me know.

  Good bye

• Portege M400 - upgrade HARD drive protection and vibration

  I think the upgrade from 80 GB to 500 GB HARD drive, but I was wondering how this affects the protection against vibration - I should get a player that has not integrated it and the new disc will have the same protection against vibrations the original - that is I presume the protection mechanism is outside the drive and just parks the drive head when it detects a movement.

  ... actually looks that most have detection of shock, I'll go with a Toshiba drive because it stresses peace.

  Hey Buddy!

  Hmm... First of all I'm not sure if a 500 GB will work in your laptop if only 80 GB HARD drive is installed. I m also asks that you need as much disk space in a laptop. For example, 160 or 250 GB is enough for me because I store most of my data on s to external HARD disk or DVD.
  Let me give you a little advice: in this case I'm going to my local computer store and talk with the seller which HARD disk, it can recommend. After that, I was able to test the HARD drive in a computer store and, for example, it doesn't work, you can buy a new one. Who is really nice and it should be possible in most computer stores. ;)

  Regarding your question of vibration and shock protection, I think that a new drive HARD doesn't affect this feature because they don t have such a feature built-in so it makes no difference what HARD drive you buy.

  Good luck!

• upgrade hard drive shows old size

  I have a HP Pavillion Elite four years old m9500z.  I had a hard drive failure, so I installed a new hard drive.  I did a system repair disc, and then made an image of an external hard drive system.  Everything went very well.  After completed I installed the repair disk, shut down the computer, removed and installed the new hard drive.  The old hard drive was 320 GB and the new drive is 2 TB.  Reinstall it also seemed to go well.  After the relocation was complete I started the computer and everything looked good and has a great.  I checked the 'computer' to see the new hard drive, but it showed the size of the old 320 GB drive.    This computer has Vista and I upgraded to 7, so I did that upgrade disc that is why I made the image of the system.  Any suggestions?

  

  Thanks am... everything worked and all is great!

• By Satellite L300 - 18 d - upgrade HARD drive

  Hi all.
  I have a Satallite L300 18(d), which I want to upgrade the hard drive on, could someone tell me the maximum size I can fit is?
  Thanks in advance ;-)

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to find these info. All you can get is info from users who have version HARD drive on this machine.

  For example, a friend of mine bought used last year L300 on eBay, and the disk HARD has been locked by password for HARD drive. We bought new HARD drive. It was 200 GB HARD drive, and everything went well. The original was, if I m remembering well, 120 GB.
