Portege 7220 - replacement hard drive problem

I have a Portege 7220 CTe Windows 98se. The hard drive is deteriorating slowly (bad sectors), so I decided to replace it. The old drive is a Toshiba 6 GB. The news is an IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 10 GB - so-called and apparently unused but dated from 01 Sept.

Summary: the drive has worked once in the Portege, but doesn't work anymore. It continues to operate through a USB interface to another system.

I did the following. (I don't know that there are a lot of unimportant details, I just can't tell who might be relevant):

-Checked the new drive with Hitachi Drive Fitness Test. Ran on the Portege, booting from CD in the docking station. The perfect extract player.
-Make a backup image the old drive on another computer (XP desktop computer) using a USB box and the reflection of Macrium.
-Restored the image to the new drive (using the same USB box).
-In Ran XP Scandisk and defragmentation on the restored drive (no problem, does significant defrag)
-Cleanly removed from the XP system USB and road of the housing
-Put the new, restored in car in the Portege and turned on.

The system could not start, (indirectly) saying that HIMEM. SYS was missing. I plugged the drive into the XP system. Indeed \WINDOWS\HIMEM. SYS was missing, along with the rest of the content of \WINDOWS. The rest of the matching content to the backup. ???????

I copied \WINDOWS to the backup image to the new drive. Neatly removed from the XP system and put in the Portege.

Starting from Win98 system. I tried to start a random application and become system that is not responding.

From this point, I may have not all the actions in the order, but I doubt that counts. I tried the following:

-Hitachi Drive Fitness Test running. He first found the drive but returned an error 'drive not ready '. After repeated attempts to re-seat assigned, check on the XP system, etc it is unable to find the drive to all the
-Go into the BIOS at startup. Sometimes found the drive, sometimes not.
-Office XP still recognizes the player very well via the USB interface. ScanDisk is happy with it, including the surface scan. Hitachi utility only works with ATA or SCSI disks, and I do not have an ATA desktop-laptop adapter.
-Made a new restoration of the saved image. It worked well, but the Portege wouldn't even find the drive.
-Tried the old drive and a travelstar 6 GB to another system in the Portege. Both work very well.
-Tried the new disk in a Portege 7020. Do not just like in the 7220.

I thought maybe it was a power issue. But the two Travelstars (one that works and a new one that doesn't) are valued at 500 my. The old disk from Toshiba which also always works is estimated at 700mA.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently, there's something wrong with your 10 GB travelstar, maybe the MBR or the boot sector

the fact that you can read with a USB connector doesn't mean that the HD is correct, since you do not need the boot sector of this way

I would advice to wipe it completely (with cleandisk or boot-TI-NG), make a new partition with fdisk and reformat the HD in fat32 format

That to do a fresh install with W98, or better: W2000, which spans a 7220 easily and is much better

It is best to copy the directory to install W2000, integer i386 installation CD - on the 10 GB HD (which can be done on another PC with a USB connection) and begin the installation of BACK with Windows NT. EXE

  • 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?

    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.

    The replacement hard drive should be the same capacity as the original hard drive.

    If your goal is to use a SSD, then you will need to migrate the operating system with a working operating system software cloning.

    Samsung, Corsair and other manufacturers sell kits of migration with usb connectors SATA that allow the cloning process work perfectly from a hard disk inherited a smaller SSD.

  • 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.

  • Portege 7010CT - no hard drive recognized

    Hi all

    I have a Portege 7010CT, I want to use to drive my modeltrain, because it has a RS-232 connection. The problem is however it doesnot recognize the hard drive more. I bought a new one that works fine in another laptop but when I put it in Portege said with the installation of Windows that no hard drive is detected.

    Looking in the Bios, it also says that no hard drive is configured. I can't however in the Bios to change this. East - auto detection? What can I do to make the Portege recognize the hard drive? Thanks for help.

    Greetings Willem

    Hey, Willem.

    As far as I know this old notebook used hard drives with IDE interface. Normally, on all hard drives with this interface, you have a rider where you can switch between Master, Slave and Cable Select.

    I recommend you to check this. Set the switch to Master and try again.

    Hello

    It sounds a bit like a HARD drive problem.
    I recommend checking out the HARD drive using a free tool called Drive Fitness Test
    This free tool allows you to get more details on the State of the HARD drive and maybe some error would be detected which would mean that HARD drive failures and disk HARD must be replaced.

  • 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.

    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?

  • Dv6-7202se replacement HARD drive

    Hi, I want to buy a replacement for my DV6-7202se HARD drive. originally, I have a 1 TB running at 5400 RPM SATA HARD drive. I am running Windows 8.1.

    My laptop is now out of its original 1 year warranty.

    (1) is it possible for me to go to a larger, faster HARD drive?

    (2) my laptop was purchased in the UNITED Arab Emirates. Where can I find the replacement HARD drive here?

    (3) my current HARD drive has a number of specific product? The official site of HP can't give me that and continues to throw messages 'no information found.

    (4) where will I get the recovery disks to reinstall the operating system on it? He came originally with Windows 8, I upgraded to 8.1.

    Thank you!

    You can certainly get a faster drive, but I think that the biggest readers available now 1.5 TB laptop and they all work at 5400 RPM. Here is your Service Manual:

    Manual

    One option you have is to install an accelerator reader WSSD/mSATA cache to speed up the slower drive. The problem on your model, it is very difficult to get to the slot of the WSSD. It is not in the Bay of accessible customer service.

    To speed up the system even more, you can install an SSD expand instead of the ordinary reader, but the largest SSD drive is a 1 to.

    Where you can get all this material in the UAE, I have no idea. I guess you can get things shipped from Europe, Asia and the United States

    In regards to the operating system, unless it does not turn right you can clone (copy bit for little) the old drive and transfer the image to the new, or we can get you a link to download an image of disk for Windows 8, which can be installed on any hard drive. The License Code is embedded in the BIOS of your motherboard, so you just need to install it and Windows will activate automatically.

    Post back if one of these options looks interesting and we can assist in its application.

  • HP Pavilion G6-1D69CA - hard drive problem

    Hi, I had this HP G6 for over a year and guaranteed missed a few months ago. It is the second laptop I got from HP. It was a replacement for my HP 2000 model who broke in less than half a year. It broke now. When I try to start the laptop takes me to the screen of SMART hard disk error hard drive 1 list (301). When I try to take stock of hard disk in the diagnostic system it fails and he gives me this failure ID: 90EC0C - 5 T 5709-MFGH5A-608703. My question is that replace HARD drive would solve this problem? If Yes, what models can replace this with? Should it be as SMART compatible.

    Yes replacing the hard drive would solve the problem. You can use any hard drive laptop 2.5 inch SATA; they are the industry standard. All hard drives are compatible SMART and not having CHIP would be like having a car with no lights on dash oil pressure. You can remain in blissful ignorance while the parties fail around you and do you more damage as you keep rolling.

    Post back and we can walk helps you purchase, install, and upgrade the software on a new hard drive. It will cost less than US $100... as low as $60, depending on the size and speed.

  • dv6700 broken HDD "#10009 replace hard drive".

    Hi, my laptop model dv6700 and hard drive: 250 GB SATA. I made the recovery disc. Problem: disk hard abandoned recently and in the BIOS HARD drive health check, he showed '#10009 replace hard drive' query: 1) as I need to replace the hard drive, I want to upgrade to 500 GB. Is it possible or not? (2) if so, are there restrictions on the size, the brand of HARD drive? 3) once I have replace my HARD drive how to get my old OS (I have vista Home premium with the laptop)? (4) there will be a problem if I use my recovery on the new 500 GB HARD drive discs? (5) there will be a conflict in recognizing the new 500 GB HARD drive?

    Here are the answers to your question.

    (1) you can switch to 500 GB and its possbile no problem

    (2) no constraint on the size or brand. You can use any brand or manufacturer of your choice

    (3) you need to install your operating system using recovery discs. There is a guide available on here

    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.

  • 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.
