Portege S100 - upgrade after cloning BSOD & HARD disk

Hi all

I wonder if anyone can help me please. I have a laptop Portege S100 with a standard 80 GB drive. I want to upgrade to a 200 GB drive.
Here's what I did.

I ran Acronis to save an image of the 80 GB HARD drive. All backed by an external USB disk and checked. I inverted the readers and restored the image on the 200 GB drive. All restored and verified.

I restart the PC with the new hard drive in place. "Windows XP" logo comes up, then aarrgh blue screen. Stop x7B.
Swapped the old disk, system boots fine.
Check in the BIOS, with the old hard drive in place that the RAID configuration is enabled by default

New swap disk, JBOD configuration is enabled in the BIOS. Could this be why it is not booting? If I want to activate the RAID configuration, it is ok, but I'm told that it will wipe the hard drive!

I have no qualms about wiping the new hard drive, but it will work? If I change the RAID configuration, then restore the image? The only reason why I have not done it so far is because it took some time to create the image, and then writing it back on the new disk and at that time there the owner of the laptop is needed it back. !

Help appreciated!
Thank you very much
Alex

Hello!

Can you post the BSOD detailed please?

I'm a little confused on RAID m parameters are you wrote. As I know the Portege S100 can handle only a single HARD disk.
In addition, you must use the same settings as with the old HDD RAID.

Maybe the SATA controller has a limitation of LBA 28 bit and can't handle a 200 GB HARD drive. In this case, the larger HARD drive should have 120 GB. Here you can learn more about the limitation:

Last but not least, you can see the new HARD drive for errors. Maybe it s faulty. For this, you can use the Drive Fitness Test:

Sorry, but for the moment I put t have more ideas.

Good bye

  • Services Windows problems after cloning a HARD drive

    Hello

    I recently cloned my HARD for one SSD drive, using the SSD as my boot device. Since then, I was able to successfully access Windows services.

    For example, I've tried to expand a partition on my SSD and went to computer management. I got a message saying that it

    "cannot open log events on the computer service.

    I click OK and the computer management opens.

    Clicking on device management, I get a long enough message that appears that says

    'Disk management could not open Virtual Disk Service (VDS) [name of the hard drive]. This can occur if the remote computer does not support VDS, or if a connection cannot be established because it has been blocked by a firewall of Windows. For more information see on diagnose and correct this problem, see Troubleshooting Disk Management by using disk management. »

    I click OK and the message disappears.

    If I click on Services and Applications in the left pane I get WMI control and Services in the central pane.

    I double-click on Services, scroll down to virtual disk, double-click anywhere on the line, I get

    "Windows could not open the service of virtual disk for playback on the local computer. Error 1726 the remote procedure call failed. »

    Is someone can you please tell me what is happening? What have I done? Why am I not able to access disk management?

    I tried sfc/scannow and I get the message

    "Protection of resources Windows could not start repair service".

    EEK! What have I done?

    Thanks for the help, but I thought about it.

    I had turned off by mistake in my BIOS PATA, and causing the problem.

    Thank you for taking the time to respond, however. It's very appreciated.

  • How to install Windows XP on Portege S100 home after HARD drive crash

    In my laptop s100-s1133 of a HARD drive crash. I buy a new one. Now, I can not intall OS (Windows XP). Windows is not installed, because it does not find my HARD drive. I got downlad drivers for toshiba (Toshiba RAID driver for XP (v1.3.8.0, 10/04/2006; 465 K)). After the installation of win98, it cannot detect the CD-rom...
    Y at - it a recovery for this model cd? or can say smb, how can I install WinXP on this model

    Hello

    You are right that you must install the first RAID driver before installing the operating system.
    If you have installed the RAID the installation Win driver will ask you to format the HARD drive.
    In this case, do NOT format the HARD drive because the RAID driver will remove and it is not possible to install the Windows XP.

    Now your question Win98; is on the page of the Toshiba driver you will find not all drivers for Win98 for this device and I assume that you need a particular driver for the CD/DVD drive to activate this device.

    I give you a warning regarding the use of the WinXP

    PS: On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the installation instructions. Follow this guide!

    Retrieve the laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc after the HARD drive was replaced?

    The operating system which is part of the Toshiba recovery image has already been activated so the new activation should not be possible and necessary!

  • Portege M200 - what is the maximum HARD disk?

    Hello

    I need to know what is the maximum capacity of the hard drive that is supported by Portege M200.

    Hello!

    I guess that the Portege M200 is equipped with an IDE HDD interface. This means that the laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits and so it can only manage s HDD up to 128 GB. If you can use a 120 GB HARD drive in this notebook.
    If you want to learn more about the limitation of the LBA you can look on Wikipedia or here: [www.48bitlba.com].

    A month ago my laptop has suffered a critical failure of hard drive. So I sent in under warranty and it come back a day or two ago. With him a piece of paper stating that I have to reinstall windows in bold, yet windows (Vista) originally came with it (without a cd or a dvd if I remember correctly).

    I thought I was going to see the same installation process of windows the manual tells me to go through that when I arrived to the laptop, instead, I get a black screen back apparently under windows 98 (?) with "C:\ > ' ask me for an order or a file.

    So yes, I'm completely lost.
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    > more windows (Vista) came originally with it (without a cd or a dvd if I remember correctly
    You are right. But the laptop came with the option of disk recovery HARD and with a GREAT recovery disc creation notification using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery disc creator.

    So if you didn't create the recovery disc then you would not be able to install Vista again. :(mais autant que je sais que vous pouvez commander un Recovery disk (pour tous ceux qui ne l t créer une disquette de récupération propre) from here):

  • Reinstall Windows 7 on new SSD after failure of hard disk, damaged, incomplete product key

    I have a HP Pavilion.  The HARD drive recently failed completely, no possibility to recover data at the moment.  I ordered a set of HP recovery disks, but they seek the recovery on the HARD drive partition; There is no such partition that I replaced the HARD original with a new SSD drive.  To make things worse, the place that HP has chosen to put the Microsoft product key sticker resulted in the product being partially faded key.

    So, to summarize: HP not Pavilion with a corrupt OEM HDD and so far no data recovery possible. a new SSD with no partitions on this subject; a set of recovery disks from HP that don't just work; a sticker with the product key with the first two digits of the product key (as well as some of the barcode, etc.) rubbed off because they have chosen to place the sticker on the bottom of a working computer instead of, say, under the battery, it can be protected.

    If someone in the community has a suggestion as to how to install Win 7 (must be 7 on this system, cannot be an iteration of 8 or 10) from scratch, without having to buy it and with a corrupt OEM disc and a partial product key, I'd love to hear it.  Maybe it's time to install Debian on it?

    Ahh, this is the crux of the problem... the bootmgr is missing.

    To restore the windows off the factory restore DVD, you must configure the BIOS to use the DVD drive as the primary boot device. The machine will then start on the first DVD, and you will not get the above message.
