Question Equium L350 - 10L new HARD drive and recovery

Hi all.

My L350 - 10L has a HD death. Just does not start. I tried the HARD drive recovery system, but after it formatted the HD I got a message saying that the image file is corrupted. I removed the HD and connected to my desktop to save personal files (before I tried the recovery) and there were real issues reading the disc. I got most of the documents & E-mail eventually (had to run a lot of check disk runs using a 3rd party disk partition software). I think that the drive is actually physically damaged somehow.

I'll need to buy a new set of Toshiba recovery disks (too long a story to explain, but it's basically my fault), but my main question is this: if I buy a new HD still recovery disks to restore my system to its original state even if it isn't the original HD? There, I guess I mean will the recovery discs recreate the 3 partitions - WinRE (Hidden), Vista C: and D: data and set the correct boot and information industries? And I suppose that a secondary question who would be the HD should be the same size as the original one (120 GB said / 111GB actually)?

Thanks in advance.

The Toshiba Recovery disk will define the laptop (and HARD drive), the factory settings.
This means that the recovery DVDs will format the whole HARD drive and it will create the partitions and all the rest as on the first day of purchase.

I hope I could bring a precision...

  • New hard drive and recovery disks

    Hello!

    I will replace my origianl HD with a new in a NC6400 laptop.  I have the recovery disks created when I received it.  Is it just a matter of changing the drive and running recovery disks?  Will be - this re-install all the drivers for the laptop as well?  I know that all data and installed programs will not be there, it's the drivers I'm worried.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Your recovery disks will reinstall your operating system, all the drivers and all the software that originally came with your laptop.  They will also recreate the Partition Recovery D: on the new drive.

    I hope this helps.

  • Having trouble installing new drivers after installing a new hard drive and Windows Vista.

    I just installed a new hard drive on my computer of dell inspiron 1525. I managed to do it and it worked. I had a disc from dell to reinstall windows vista edition Home premium 32-bit and had drivers and utilities dvd. However I couldn't connect to the internet. I understand I'm missing some drivers but I rebooted the computer, but it goes to the black screen asking you to start in safe mode, safe mode with network, normally and something else. But after trying all of them, it goes straight to this same screen. What can I do? Or I can clear the new hard drive and start over? Any ideas?

  • Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?

    Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?

    A message on the RAID 0 volume failed is a recognizable error message, but the news is not good.

    RAID, by its nature, requires 2 or more drives.  RAID = redundant Bay of independent (or inexpensive) disks

    RAID 0 is the worst of the different RAID choices.  It increases the performance of hard disk by spreading or striping, data on two disks so that he can read and write more quickly. Unfortunately, such a picture offers no protection of data - in fact, it increases the chances of loss of data since the failure of a disk in the array results in the loss of all data on both drives. RAID 0 configurations are standard on high-end and PCs graphics games and provide a performance gain measurable, albeit modest for games, graphics applications and other programs intense from the hard drive.

    In view of the foregoing, the best course of action for you and your parents is to take the computer to a local computer professional - not a type of place BigBoxStoreUSA or GeekSquad.

    Hello

    Yes, you can reinstall vista with your product key on the new hard drive

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • HDD problem IBM Thinkpad T42. I can't install NEW Hard Drive and NEW OEM Windows XP?

    Hi all

    When I turn on the notebook Windows XP starts up and everything is loaded. But after 5 or 10 minutes, the response is very slow. If I click on any window and try to open any folder, or open internet explore it takes about 1 or 2 minutes to respond. I tried several ways to scan disk and Defrag, but still that are of no use. I also tried 'Difficulty automatically File System Errors' and ' will search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors ", but this problem is still there. Even when I stop it takes too long to stop about 15 to 20 minutes.

    When I turn on again NEXT DAY Windows XP starts and everything loads quickly. After 5 or 10 minutes, the response is very slow. This problem occurs for a few days.

    I then used "IBM Rescue and Restore" to load fresh operating system. Still the problem does not get fixed.

    Can you get it someone please let me know if this is problem of hard disk or something else. I'm guessing it's related to the hard drive.

    If it is the drive hard problem how to save (clone) of this old hard drive AGAIN DISK (after buying) HARD.

    If I buy the NEW HARD DRIVE and CD/DVD of NEW OPERATING SYSTEM OEM VERSION it will work? Do existing mother board ALLOW to load a NEW VERSION of OS OEM?

    Thank you

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer, IBM and ask them to send a recovery disk/s XP set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  • Hard drive crashed with CS5 on it. Has not been disabled before the collision. Desktopcomputer again loaded on the new hard drive and bu news updates do not work on the new computer.

    Hi, I hope I'm in the right forum! I have a laptop Aspire with Photoshop CS5 extended. The computer's hard drive crashed and so I had to get another hard drive! Obviously as the hard drive crashed, I was unable to disable CS5 extended before the crash. I have it charging on the new hard drive and in the meantime bought a desktop computer in which I loaded CS5. Updates have been working fine on the laptop. I tried to update the program on the new computer, but continue to receive error messages. I have read in any problems and think maybe computer laptop harddrive that crashed had CS5 yet on it, as I was unable to turn it off because I didn't know he was going to crash. I am only able to load CS5 on 2 computers and if it is still on the destroyed hard drive so I'm not able to turn it off and so I presume that is why I can not download the updates on my new computer. I hope someone can help me. I want to keep CS5 on both computers. Thanks in advance bunch Kara

  • HP G71: Install the new hard drive and the raw copy

    Hello

    My HP G71 is 64-bit, 4 GB RAM and hard drive WD320BEVT. The laptop has more than 5 years of service and I want to replace with a new hard drive while performing a raw copy of the current. I have a dual boot Win 7/Ubuntu installation I want to keep on the new hard drive.

    As I have not found a new HD of the same type and capacity, I would like to replace the current one with an another Western Digital 2.5 ", the IDE interface, but with a capacity of 0.5 to 1 TB (I choose one or the other).

    My questions:

    -can I install one of these hard drives on this laptop? They are compatible with the current BIOS/chipset?

    -If I make a raw copy of the 320 GB drive to the 0.5 or 1 TB, how would the current operating system partitions will be reflected in a higher capacity drive?

    -J' bought an IDE/USB interface adapter as well as to make possible the raw copy, could you recommend, if these questions have the THUMB, a good free to use software that I could use?

    Thanks for your help!

    Yes I use Kubuntu and tried several times to just the entire disk image and it does not reproduce partitions Linux and Grub, but when you try to start Linux it will hang and say can not find the prior specific hard drive. So now I just make a backup of Windows and reinstall Kubuntu from scratch. Much easier. I think there are also Linux backup programs you can use, but never really saw the need.
