• Satellite A210 - 17l BIos update to take care of advanced format HARD drive problem

  Hi all

  Really hoping someone can help me with this.

  My old HDD not was not so I cloned the entire disc before it failed. -Just in time, too.

  I ordered a new drive - it's a WD scorpio black - Advanced format.

  Unfortunately I can't get my picture on this new album.

  Also, I am unable to do a reinstall with the original restore also cd because it doesn't have service pack 1 and that means that it can't recognize the HD.

  In any case id prefer to be able to restore my image and not make a re-install when even if possible.

  So my question is this:

  Y at - it an update of the bios I can ask my another pc version 2.00 is available which will include options to change the options of ide drive - ahci?

  It's the only solution I can think of-bearing in mind I do not have an operating system installed, so the alignment tools are not an option as another fix. -Fast technology of storage Intel drivers do not work, because I have an AMD athlon processor.

  So is there any BIOS I can Flash my computer with to activate the options mentioned?

  I have a method to Flash the bios with a BONE, so this isn't a problem.

  Also other suggestions for workaround on this more than welcome.

  Thanks :))

  Hello

  Update BIOS don t help you. To my knowledge, it does not add additional options such as a switch between AHCI and compatible mode.
  In addition, you can use ANY BIOS. You must use the BIOS that came out for the model of laptop. But as I said, this isn't a solution.

  In addition, the image of Toshiba already contains all the drivers in order to install the system. It s any SP1 isn t the image part.

  I guess you're talking about Vista OS, given that the laptop came with pre-installed Vista OS. http://www.Toshiba.co.UK/discontinued-products/Equium-A210-17I/

  I recommend you format the HARD drive first.
  Use a tool called Gparted. You can create a bootable USB key containing this tool.
  This allows to start Notepad in order to format the HARD drive.

• "Re: Toshiba M10: replacement 7 k 200 with Advanced Format HARD drive" 7 K 750 HDD

  Can we see problems with the replacement of the original Hitachi TravelStar 7 K 200 (200 GB) HDD, that went into my two year old Toshiba Tecra M10 - 11 X, with a so-called 'Advanced Format' 7 K 750 (750 GB or maybe 640 GB) hard drive?

  Like the original, I want to dual-boot the new disk using three partitions:
  * Windows 7 32-bit
  * Data
  * Windows XP
  and would probably clone one disk to another (by increasing the size of the partition!) with the v5 of Macrium Reflect.

  I read up on top of the TravelStar 7 K 750 form, the alignment tool from Hitachi, Microsoft KnowledgeBase article 982018 "an update that improves the compatibility of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Advanced Format drives is available" Bit-tech http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/sto...t-hard-disks/1and so forth, but wonder if anyone has actually replaced the HDD with all original Advanced Format drives and could therefore have a certain experience to share?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  "I put t have experience using this advanced Format ' 7 K 750 HARD drive but in my opinion he should not a problem using this HARD drive.
  The laptop supports the SATA interface and if this HARD drive would also support the SATA controller, the HARD drive should be recognized too

  But of course, it is my personal opinion...

• HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC: HP Envy 15 with SATA USB adapter 512th Advanced Format HARD drive

  Hello:

  I want to clone the HARD drive in my system via a USB to SATA Adapter for an identical external HARD drive - this record could then be used to get back in the quick business failure of internal drive. Internal and external drives are the types of advanced Format.  The drive is: HGST HTS541010A9E680. I see the 4 areas of native k when the disk is connecetd via a USB adapter?  So far, my older USB/SATA Adapter shows the areas 4096 bytes, not he emulated disk 512 byte sectors.

  Thank you

  Hi @teranz

  Thanks for the reply.

  Unfortunately the adapters can be hit or miss, not always reliable. You could talk to the manufacturer of the adapter for advice.

  Regarding booting from a USB key, it looks like you want to install the OS on a USB device. It is possible with some advanced configuration, but it is out of the reach of these forums. You may find help by searching for «portable Windows installation»

  Good luck

  You can, but don't need to format the disk first. Just boot from the
  Windows 7 DVD and follow the instructions for a clean install. A cleaning
  the installation begins by formatting the disc for you.

• After win7sp1 clean install on a new hard drive, Windows Update runs forever - have tried MANY fixes

  April 2, 2016

  For several days, I have reproduced this problem by starting with a W7Sp1 drive and also start with a considerably older drive of W7.  The old installation of W7 is going very well, first run of WUpdate receives a few fixes, apply and restart.  Rerun WUpdate and she finds Sp1.  Installation of Sp1.  Rerun Wupdate and it says to upgrade to a new Wupdate.

  After the SP1 update and the new windows update, this system offers the same WUpdate symptoms as if from the W7Sp1 disk.  Immediately after the installation of the drive, run the wupdate.  He said: it must be updated to a new Wupdate.

  (PS in each Installer Win7, I authenticated the product key and activated windows.)

  After that, Windows Update never runs you want fixed.  (Left running 10 hours overnight).

  (NO OTHER programs or anything like that is installed after installing Win7 and starting with Windows Update problems).

  =============================================================

  I found 2 programs: FixitAllUp.

  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 - downloading "MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run". (Chasing a "minimal boot"). The last time I have raced, he said if found 2 problems, but only fixed a.  I hit the button Details where he says that he finds the same 2 problems and fixed them BOTH.  It corrects "Missing or damaged registration Service" he said: he can't solve 'Installation problems of the recent updates' - but when you hit details it button show both under "green checkmark" FIXED.  (I also tried to run this several times, and he always finds and he said exactly the same thing, as did the first round).

  Also have run "WindowsUpdateDiagnostic" downloaded from the microsoft site.  It's the same notes 2 problems and fixed one or both depending on if you are looking the summary or detail.

  I read many many cases of a problem that dates back to 2011 and with various assumptions for this problem.

  AND YET, Windows Update checks the updates for EVER and EVER.

  Help

  There is a solution and it works very well...

  Windows Update problem (new)

  The following procedure applies in the case of installation (reinstall) Windows 7.  It does not apply to a usual, normal day.

  I'm afraid that you will do the reinstall again.  Not a terrible penalty to pay.  Usually takes less than an hour.  Then immediately proceed to the next procedure.   It's strange, but it really does work and many people have proved it.

  NEVER install anything other than Windows updates until your system is up-to-date.  Once you have the list update, install all together.  Installation of updates in batches is not expedite the process or do better.

  1. Before you begin to re - install, download (32 or 64 bit) KB3083710 and KB3102810 in advance and store on a USB
  2. Start and end the re - install Windows 7 SP1
  3. Before that the newly installed system can go online for the first time, Disconnect the computer from the Internet.  This chronology is essential.  The system should NOT have access to the Internet when it starts.
  4. Install KB3083710 and reboot manually.
  5. Install KB3102810 and reboot manually.
  6. Restore the Internet connection, and run Windows Update as usual.
  7. After a few minutes, you should have a lot of updates to download and install.

• Installation of SP3 on a newly formatted HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a few questions about the installation of Windows XP Service Packs on newly formatted hard drives.

  Recently I have formatted a new HARD drive and installed Windows XP Home Edition. In order to be upgraded to Service Pack 1 to 3, it is recommended to connect to Windows Update and download and install it from there. I did this and was prompted to install Service Pack 2. During the last steps of the installation (I think that durng the procedure of 'start process'), I lost Internet connectivity and was impossible to reconnect (I use a USB dongle. I think that a virus infection is interfering with the connection). That's why I had to restart my computer for the installation could be completed, but it seemed to be successful that I was able to reboot without any problem. I assume that the installation had actually finished and it was just reset stage that was interrupted.

  Question: even if the installation of Service Pack 2 has not finished and my machine seems to be fine, reinstall Service Pack 2 in order to ensure that it is completely installed?

  Question: Why should I install SP2? If Service Pack 3 contains all fixes and features of all previous Service Packs and it is acceptable to upgrade to Service Pack 1 to 3 directly, why didn't Windows Update invite me to install Service Pack 3 instead?

  Question: I have found a manual download of Service Pack 3 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5b33b5a8-5e76-401f-be08-1e1555d4f3d4&displaylang=en), but Microsoft strongly recommends that use you it only on machines in a network, and not on a single computer. Y at - it hurt to do?

  A question here, is that if Microsoft recommends that download the latest Service Packs of Windows Update online, so it seems not possible to fully guarantee your Windows installation before connecting the interest for the first time. All the while I'm software download and installation of Service Pack 2, malware, worms and viruses have been infecting my computer (Avast! blocked a malware exploit). So even if I managed to upgrade to Service Pack 3, my machine is already infected.

  Is there a recommended way to upgrade to Service Pack 3 before you connect to the Internet for the first time?

  Thank you

  Tristan

  I see that you have already improved HARD drive and 320 GB. So you could tell us if you've some HARD drive problems.

  If you have already installed the new HARD drive and have been able to install the operating system, then I put t see serious reasons why new HARD drive shouldn't t work.

  Iso file of windows xp can directly be installed USB on a formatted hard drive?

  Not directly.

  There is a SMALL chance that if your hardware supports it (unfortunately never say you anything on your PC or BIOS), you can boot from a USB stick or an optical drive and install Windows XP like this.
  But it is unlikely.
  In addition, tell us what you mean by 'windows xp iso file. This is very vague, and we do not know what you are talking about.
