Question of memory/hard disk drive

• Satellite L500 - hard disk drive partitioning

  Hi all (first posting times)

  I came across a little curiosity. Bought new laptop everything installed, then loaded into all the previous laptop backup files, brilliant all work...
  But then noticed was running out of space on the hard disk (drive C)?

  Why? It is a 500 GB hard drive. So I checked. Its actually a HDD 500 gig, divided into two, also. OK, understand that, first partition is C: for all files of system etc, there is d: recovery of files (using about 8 gig) then nothing else... what a mess.

  So the question, can I do the largest C: drive by reducing the D: partition? If NOT, it would make more sense then just make another partition E: for example?

  Oooh and I will make the recovery of files from damage by doing this.

  All your advice much appreciated kind.

  If it is not broken... your cheek is not hard enough *.

  Why are you doing this so complicated? HARD drive has two partitions, and you can use all that space. Toshiba has saved the recovery image of HARD drive on the second partition, but this does not mean that you are not allowed to save your data there. You can do but just don't touch or change folder HDDRecovery. Just leave it there, or make it invisible.

  This file can be used later for the installation of HARD disk image - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
  Imagine the following situation:
  You save all your stuff on the C partition and one day for some reason you cannot boot OS and it is completely unusable. What you can do? Maybe install OS again. OK good idea, but you will lose all your important data.

  In order to better is to save all the stuff on the D partition, and if something goes wrong, you can install OS using HARD drive recovery facility. This means that C partition will be formatted and clean the OS installed on it by using the image of the D partition. The point is that any data saved to the D partition will be there and you won't lose anything.

  If you want to install the OS via recovery DVD (hopefully you have created the) the whole HARD drive will be formatted and you will lose all saved data.
  I hope you understand now how it works then think of all the important data and save it as with certain external devices too.

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

   

  I hope this helps.

• I need the driver for my external HARD disk drive

  Hi how are you?

  Well, I would like to know I do an external drive using the portable hard drive whose name is "Toshiba MK8034GSX" which is with a capacity of 80 GB.
  A few days back I plugged to the USB port with my pc but after that it says need driver and I n t have the HARD disk driver.

  So kindly if anyone has the driver or know the link where I can find the driver then tell me I will be very grateful to you all.

  With regard to:

  Martine André

  Hello

  What is a USB HDD?
  You n t need any driver, and there is no drivers for an external USB HDD.

  The USB driver is part of the Windows OS and it s already installed.
  The USB HDD must be fitted with a plug & play device which means that should be recognized automatically after you connect to the laptop USB port.

  What OS you have and what laptop is it?
  The operating system is up to date?
  USB ports are correctly listed in the Device Manager?

• Windows 7 is my CD/DVD in the hard disk drive

  I used prior to windows Vista, and everything worked very well. now, with Windows 7 can not format my drive CD/DVD or CD/DVD read/write.

  I tried before solving the problem using Microsoft Fix it but failed.

  Please, I need your help!

  OK what I mean try, reboot your system with the Windows cd again and see if your dvdrwe drive cannot read the disc. Unfortunately, you can have a bad disk but before ruling out, you need to do some troubleshooting steps more. Did you try and install your DVD - RW drive on another pc will exclude both software and hardware, or if you can install another drive on your pc.

• SMART failure provided on hard disk 2: WDC WD 3200AAJS-55RY-AO (S1) __WARNING: IMMEDIATELY back up your data and replace your hard disk drive failure can be immenent

  Please help... I dunno what to do one day, I came home from work and my new about sony vaio desktop has been frozen, so I rebooted and now I have this message when I try to start and I do not have a vista disc or a recovery disc and am worried my lost data as I do not know how to save at this point because I can't even in the windows operating system Vista.  can someone help me please?

  We must believe the error message telling you that your hard drive is about to fail. If you are not technically proficient, take the machine to a local computer technician who will try to back up your data and then replace the hard drive. Do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place. Otherwise, you may be able to get the data saved by one of the methods below and replace the hard drive yourself.

  1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

  2. you can start the target computer with a Bart PE (if you use XP) or a Linux live CD like Knoppix and retrieve the data in this way. General information about the use of Knoppix for this are:

  You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with sufficient capacity to store your data, OR an external hard drive formatted USB FAT32 (not NTFS) *. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

  * My understanding is that you can now write on NTFS from Linux partition. If you wish to do this, Google for instructions on the use of the NTFS driver.

  http://www.Knoppix.NET

  IMPORTANT - If there is no question that the drive is at fault - there are noises, for example - and the data is crucial NOTHING else ON THE DISC. Whenever launch you this player you can destroy data. If this is the case, send the drive to a professional data recovery company. I use savers by car, but there are others. General prices run from $500USD on-site. Investors recovered all disk data on a portable player that failed for one of my clients, and it cost $2 700. He thought that it was worth the money; only you know what's worth your data. I understand that some insurance companies now cover fresh data recovery so check with yours.

• Is Satellite X L855-10 supports a Bay for a second HARD disk drive

  10 - L855 X have an empty slot to add the SSD drive, without removing the current HARD disk?

  Hello

  In my opinion, the 2nd HDD or SSD disk is not supported.
  You can use the HARD drive, or you can try to replace with a compatible SSD 1 TB HARD drive. But the use of HDD and SSD drive to one and same time is not possible.

• Tecra 8000: Question on the HARD disk and the password

  Hi all
  A market recently my son bought an old laptop Toshiba T8000.

  Personally, I have absolutely no knowledge of the laptop myself as a desktop is everything I've ever used.
  However, I recharged the battery and the power, it asks for a password, even if what I believe to be the HD is missing (Vacant housing, left under the keyboard and behind the battery)

  Our local store offers him an incredible £121 a new HD

  HA wasted his pocket money on it or can he get a password and the HD at reasonable price to fit?

  Any help is greatly welcomed.

  BREZ.

  Hello

  Especially the password appears at the beginning of the startup procedure because the BIOS password has been set.
  Unfortunately, you cannot delete or remove the BIOS password if the old password of BIOS is not known to you. Either contact you the person who sells you the device and ask for the password or you will contact the service partner in your country for a deletion.

  I guess that's a Tecra 8000 with the number PAT80XE.
  This unit is a little older and so I think that hard drives are rare, a little so more expensive.
  By the way: the device supports an EIDE HARD disk interface

• Question on the hard disk on Satellite M40X

  I'm working on a clients M40x and the hard drive broke down and I would like to replace it and I have some options and I was wondering if they will work.

  Currently, there is a MK6025GAS in which is fried. Below are the options I have.

  1 MK6034GAX
  2 MK8032GAX

  Can I use a Maxtor? If Yes, what models?

  HUGE thanks :)

  Hi dude

  You can use the hard disks of each production. It s any HDD manufacturing is. The HARD drive is important! So you need a drive that supports the enhanced IDE (ATA-6) interface!

  The SATA drives are not compatible.

  The MK6034GAX 60 GB HDD and MK8032GAX 80 GB HARD drive looks to support the ATA-100 interface (ATA-6). So, in my opinion, the hard drives must be compatible and should run

• Cannot access the HARD disk drive HARD - Satellite P300 recovery

  Hi all

  I want to perform a Toshiba product recovery, using the partition on the HARD disk. I did it before and no problem.

  But when I press F8--> computer repair--> selection language--> then I have to select a user (Administrator / my name/guest) when I select the administrator, it says that my account has been disabled, when I select the user with my name (Kenneth) he continues to the menu where I can choose the different options for recovery. If I select the product Toshiba blah blah thingy a screen comes up saying it can't find 01 HARD drive. I did nothing with the partition containing Vista.

  My guess is that I need to log in as an administrator, which is impossible. My user account in Vista is a Director,

  Can someone please?

  I use a P300

  Best regards
  Kenneth

  You have made changes on the second partition where is placed folder HDDRecovery?

• failure of hard disk drive necessary to reinstall WinXP Home on replacement HARD drive

  I have an of Western Digital HARD drive with my system of operating XP Home 32-bit installed on my primary C: drive.

  I have run the Diagnostics tool online to WD for the reader who found intractable errors on the disc, which indicates an imminent drive failure and an email their technical support confirms the disk needs to be replaced SOON before she completely fails.

  I copied all personal off the drive failed on another drive good files and am now ready to remove the failed drive and install a new replacement main primary HDD and then reinstall my XP Home on it - so - until I started to do this thinking, I would ask for tips in anticipation of a smooth, re - install on the new drive.

  I got a 25 character key and proof of 8-character license key. There is a Microsoft sticker on the back of the pc (that I do not see to read right now, but its there).

  So, I remove the old drive and fit the replacement drive and this format and then install my XP Home - can we see a particular problem with activation?

  concerning

  Depending on whether you have a recovery CD suitable for activation key for your sticker or not, there are three possible courses of action. Each activation of the path should not be a problem unless this procedure has been done several times or your 25-character key fell into the wrong hands.

  If you have a recovery CD

  Make the re-installation, follow the control points in my first post in this thread...

  .. .so how to get XP to date.

  If your recovery media is a service pack before SP3, there is more information on how to get to SP3 in my first post in this thread...

  If you do not have a recovery CD

  I hope that your original drive will have a recovery partition or the means to create a recovery CD. If you can create recovery media do now. In the contrary case and the original disc has a recovery partition make a clone of the original hard disk sector by sector to your new car now. If the clone is successful, i.e., that there are no unreadable sectors, is perhaps the best way to proceed in any case, especially if your PC is in good health other than the imminent failure of your HARD drive. If the clone does not work out, you can always fall back on the new installation. The advantage of a clone is that there is no re-setup software to (updates Windows or Office to give just two examples) and didn't need to be restored. I paid for the partitioning/cloning software and have no experience of all freebies out there to make recommendations, perhaps 10crackers can help with this.

  If you have managed to create a recovery media, you can use it instead of cloning.

  If you clone successfully you can just use it as is, or use the built-in recovery partition that you just cloned to do a clean install.

  If you don't have a recovery media and cannot create an and is unable to successfully clone

  You will have to contact the manufacturer of your PC to see if they can provide recovery media.
