R51 new HARD drive will not restore factory correctly state with discs
I caught a HDD of 80 GB on old computer my gf, and I thought I would use it to replace the 40 GB hard drive in my ThinkPad R51. There is not really important info on my old hdd, so I just created a factory recovery disks, put on the new hard drive (both are PATA) and ran from Rescue and Recovery. After completing restore to factory state all the new hard drive will do is Rescue and new Recovery charge. It does not load Windows. Is there anything else I need to do?
Shot in the hip here, but ISTR that some versions of R & R restore the image of 'restoration' in HD, then you restart to R & R and run a restore it to complete the restore of the rest of the car.
As I said, just something I've seen elsewhere. Worth, perhaps,

Can't reinstall XP service pack 3 on the new hard drive, will not cross of EULA
Computer VOstro 220 (Dell) under the age of 18 months. Internal HD died and was replaced two weeks ago with a HD internal 320, the speed of 7200 Western Digital. (Micro Center, a computer store large installed the HD that I bought at the store)
I used the OEM "reinstall Windows XP service Pack 3" DVD. With F12 I put the computer to boot from the DVD.
DVD boots, I chose the option to install the OS
Fisrt I see the message that the program checks the material. No error message
Then I see the screen with the words "Windows Setup". Five minutes later, Microsoft EULA (end-user contract) is displayed. IT does not scroll, I used the arrow keys on the keyboard to get at the end of the EULA was waiting for some kind of "type option"I agree". But there is nothing.
Nothing more happens. No additional configuration.
What is the problem? What should I do to get the Windows XP installation to continue?
Why not install the operating system?

Satellite Pro 2100 - new HARD drive is not booting
Hello
I wanted to update my SP2100 with a WD1200BEVE. (120 GB of WD).Copy of disk via USB + speakers worked, but after changing the disc nine does not start: the laptop hangs up with blinking cursor.
Already checked that the partition is active and even a new installation from a CD of XP has the same result! The BIOS seems to accept the drive (if not installing via CD should have failed) so where is the problem?Any tips?
Hi Kannengiesser,
Which is really strange that you can t start up disk even it s recognized in BIOS correctly...
You have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If so, you can try this disc factory settings. If it works, it was just an installation problem.
But I couldn't imagine also that the new HARD drive is not working properly last week I had a similar problem. Made a HARD drive upgrade, but a few days later Windows didn't start because the HARD drive had a bad sector, now I'm waiting for a replacement drive.

Original title: startup problem
I tried cloning from my hard drive with Clonezilla, and he gave me a bad sector error. I have since run the hard drive test in bios and it passed. Anyway, clone has failed, and now the original hard drive will not boot. My dvd player won't turn when I try to load the Vista repair CD (Vista Home Premium 32 bit). Clonezilla removes the start settings for the original disc? And if so, how can I restore it? The computer starts just a black screen with a cursor at the top left. When I install the hard drive in a box and connect it to another computer, it shows the partitions and files all seem to be there.
Hi DougEisenmann,
Clonezilla is not supported by Microsoft.
If you are unable to boot from the Vista repair disk then you will need to go into the system BIOS and make sure that it is configured to boot from the DVD drive.

I have a MacBook from 2008. 4 years ago I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive. I have thousands if photos on it. IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?
< re-titled by host >
I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.
Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?
How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files? Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?
IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.
I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?
IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?
What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

Hard drive will not accept any CD or DVD
I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8 version. The hard drive will not accept a CD or a DVD. Thinking maybe I left a floppy disk in the drive, I tried to eject, but the eject button does not eject anything. I have not tried to insert a disk for a long time, so do not know how long it could have been a problem without me realizing it. I tried to shut down the computer and restart, but this does not solve the problem. I did some research using the Apple Hardware Test, but the instructions say insert the Applications install disc 2. Unfortunately, as I can't insert a disc, I can't deal with the problem in this way? Any suggestions?
Have you tried:

A single hard drive will not be shared on network. All other players share very well.
A single hard drive will not be shared on network. All other players share very well. Don't have a homegroup installation because I also have XP machines. The drive is on a windows machine 7. I checked all the settings. Of course, all the machines are on the same workgroup. It's just 1 road. The other 5 on this computer share very well.
Hey Timmy,

A1103 new Ram and HARD drive will not start
Hello.
I have a Mac mini A1103. When I got there the folder flashing with question mark. I got a macbook earlier where this problem was solved by installing a new hard drive. so I ordered a new 160 GB IDE 2.5 "5400 RPM and 1 GB Corsair Valueselect DDR1 333 MHz hoping that this will help me get the mini running and preforming a little better with 512 MB of Ram.
When I boot the mini after swapping ram and hard drive I always see the same flashing folder. I can reset the NVRAM Boot, enter diskmode target? (I think) and the Boot Manager.
When I enter the Boot Manager I can see the following screen
a few times I get to this screen for Open Firmware screen where I can use certain commands such as vram-reset reset-all rebot and so, but sometimes I'm just stuck on this screen.
Anyone have any suggestions on what is wrong and what I can try next? I do not have the boot original dvd but I have a usb bootable with IOS 10.6 and a dvd with IOS 10.6 (not original) but I can't get botting from any of the devices.
A Mac Mini A1103 has a G4 Power PC processor and cannot be greater than 10.5.8. Superior OSX versions require an Intel processor.
In this statement "a usb bootable with IOS 10.6 and a dvd with IOS 10.6 (not original)" I think you mean OSX, not of iOS. You must obtain a copy of the original installation disc which was 10.3 or 10.4 or disk to upgrade to 10.4 or 10.5 full retail. Coverall A1103 all three 2005 models of the Mac Mini G4.
You cannot use a grey disc unless it was delivered with your specific Mac. Native gray disc with Macs and can not e used on the other model of disc.
You can probably call Apple and order a copy of the original disks

I have a T61 with XP on it. The factory hard drive was beginning to show its age, so I got a 500GB WD Black drive for her. I used Acronis True Image to clone the old hard drive to the new. I used my counter top to do the cloning. When I plug the new disk in, the cursor just blinks and it will not start.
I thought that maybe the clone was bad, so I put the new drive hard back at the top of my desk and is able to boot all the way to the windows start screen. If I plug the old drive in the laptop, it starts very well, simply refuses to boot from the new drive.
Guessed it.
Put the new hard drive into the computer, put the old hard drive in a USB enclosure and done a CD boot Acronis, and made the clone of the laptop. Runs like a champ and now flies.

Re: Tecra 9100 - new HARD drive is not detected
I have a Toshiba Harddisk provide a Tecra 9100. Checking the BIOS it shows "Enhanced IDE", but you are trying to boot from the disc does not work HARD. Even trying to install a new operating system present, that the HARD drive is not detected.
From the laptop is also very long.
Any idea?Your new HARD drive is larger than 120 GB? The HARD disk controller supports the 28-bit LBA and large drives as 120 GB will not be recognized by the BIOS.
What you mean with Enhanced IDE? The BIOS recognizes the new HARD drive with model number?

New HARD drive is not recognized on Tecra M1
Hello
I am new to this forum, so apologies if this is an old question.
My Tecra M1 gave a quality service for the past 6 years, but recently, the Toshiba management console has put a message saying that the HARD drive will fail quickly.
I loaded immediately turned off my main files before you remove the HARD drive. It is a Toshiba MK6022gax 60 gig IDE hard drive. I bought a new disc of gigabytes of 60 MK6022gax, but when I mounted this same I got the error message "error ide #0". Installation XP or the BIOS can see this new record.
I then reassembled the old HARD drive, which started OK. I then mounted the new disk in a USB enclosure, initialized, partitioned and quick formatted using the XP disk management. He picked up OK. Then I copied some files to it and read them back with no problems, then the drive itself works very well. But when I plug as the main 'C' drive, I get the error message again and is not recognized by the bios or XP put in place.
Clearly, there is some BIOS (?) or startup procedure I have to do to get this recognized record. Help!
I have Tecra M1 long with 60 GB HARD drive. Right now, I've updated compatible HDD TOSHIBA HDD 2184 B.
I can confirm that the HARD drive is recognized correctly and I actually have the new install of WXP Pro.In any case, have you tried to upgrade the BIOS to the default settings?
As far as I know that nothing should be set before you put the new HARD drive and it must be recognized correctly. -
New hard drive does not appear in the disk utility
I am installing a new hard drive in my late 2011 13 "MacBook Pro. I started using apple's online retrieval system and went to disk utility. I tried to format the drive, but he is stuck saying "remove disc" for about a half hour, and then I had a rotation beach ball and could not move the cursor. I restarted the computer and now the drive does not appear in the disk utility. Any help is appreciated as I have no idea where to go from here.
Thank you.
You will may be turned off and check that your hard drive is correctly positioned with all the screws tight.
