Re: New hard drive in M100 protected?
It is better to install a new 120 or 160 GB HARD drive in a Portege M100?
What are the merits or disadvantages?
Why not? Portege M100 is old, but nice laptop model. If the laptop is in good condition, you must pass the HDDF. The only problem may be HARD drive compatibility. Unfortunately there is no specific info on max capacity of the HARD drive which will be recognized correctly, but I hope you can improve with 100 or 120 GB of the same capacity.

Satellite Pro A60 and a new HARD drive
I installed a new hard drive on my notebook and I can't launch Win XP pro or Win 98.
During the sequence of booting with XP, I get the error message:
Initializing device NDIS:
WINDOWS PROTECTION ERROR.
I checked my bios settings, there are only two
[HARD DISK MODE = Enhanced IDE (normal) and (standard), I have tried both to no success.]
I can run 98 in safe mode, but when I use this mode I can access my DVD - ROM is more.Hello
Please check this link http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/cs-008712.htm.
In my opinion, you should try to preinstall the device using recovery DVDs.Good bye

Hello world
I need help here.
My HP envy m7 J010dx works perfectly with my original hard drive (1 TB).
I am preparing a second HDD (NEW 320) as backup.
I took off the Moose HDD (1 TB) and replace it with the NEW HARD drive (320GB) and try to do a full recovery of the system with the HP recovery DVD.
After full system recovery and laptop computer needs to be restarted in order to continue, the laptop keeps restarting on the logo of windows 8.
I think it says device not found Boot. Also a test using the UEFI tool material HP and all pass.
Replacing the NEW HARD drive with the original of the old HARD drive and it start normally.
What can go wrong here in this case? Thank you very much for the help.
Concerning
John
OK, I read through the thread and this is my point of view on this based on works including restore process with the user created a recovery (UCRDs) media which the user indicated that they used.
If you just want to jump to the conclusion at the bottom, you can see my opinion. If you want to know 'why' Please read the entire post.
Model No.: m7-j010dx
Product #: E0K83UA #ABA
Ships OS: Windows 8 (64-bit)
Recovery HP part No. Kit: 730336-002 (3 DVDs + extra)
User replaced the HARD drive with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM with HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection a new hard drive is a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9320423AS 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache SATA 3.0 GB / s 2.5 "Notebook internal hard drive.
With the help of UCRDs sent media recovery media (SSRDs):
When the UCRDs are created, only the drivers for the HW operation (this is a critical point, that I will look later) are burned to the user created a recovery media. Consider this a snapshot of the current HW, the base drivers and software applications. If you change the HW on your laptop or desktop where the additional device requires a different driver for these features, a few questions you might - recovery process could stop because he can't find the right driver, a blue screen, a lack of start-up or other unstable system.
A few years ago, I had a PC that would not recover because the Blu - ray (ODD) optical disk drive did not work. I replaced the WEIRD Blu - ray with a generic DVD/CD burner into the new part of Blu - ray is presented. I got the PC using SSRDs thinking I would put some time and just install the Blu - ray after the PC has been recovered. The PC recovered and when the new Blu - ray showed I installed the unit and guess what? All PCs have shown in Device Manager and applications was a generic ODD - no Blu - ray capability and ability to read Blu - ray content in the default HP provided for multimedia applications delivered with the PC. Applications were there but no Blu - ray capability.
Huh? It looks that I did not put any time at all.
I inserted the new Blu - ray ODD and distributed recovery with the HP SSRDs.
After recovery, I had all the Blu - ray drivers and applications supported Blu - ray.
The difference between UCRDs and SSRDs:
UCRDs provide a glimpse of what is installed and functional both disks are created.
Version Digest of the player on what is happening with SSRDs to retrieve a PC (before Windows 10):
SSRDs have all the drivers for all the HW and SW qualified for the unit. There may be several drivers for hard drives, different types/screen resolutions, sides, etc. Based on the characteristics of the specific laptop / desktop a process is run called "Do / don't. After entering the recovery SDRD, the Notebook media boots to Recovery Manager. The first step is a raw copy of all the contents of the disc on a temporary partition. Following the Do / do not process looks at the characteristics of this specific unit and remove all other drivers and applications not used by this device. Drivers and the only successful applications are the features supported. And then, the new operating system and recovery partition is created. The PC end recovery of cleaning process and restart the laptop / desktop. And, Yes, you guessed it, if you create the user created a recovery media, you only have the drivers for HW devices and applications of HP on the PC at the time.
So, that being said, what could be the cause/solution?
Hard drives can be different enough so that a different driver (not the UCRDs) is necessary for the newly installed HW.
The SSRDs are supported on the new HARD drive installed?
I don't know, I have an office boy, and I have not tried on this model of laptop.
If you have / acquire SSRDs, I recover the laptop with the new installed HARD drive and see if it works. It may or may not. I don't know what drives were qualified for this laptop.
If this does not work, the last option is cloning via USB connection (old HARD drive in the PC, new HARD drive connected to a USB 3 via the SATA Adapter (dongle) USB port, install or download software cloning and cloning the old HDD to the new.) I just did this on the two older Windows 7 computers laptops using a SanDisk Ultra kit. He has worked on both units.
Conclusion:
I don't think that the problem is caused from a HARD drive of 1 to a 320 GB HARD drive, as it meets the minimum specs for a complete installation. I think the problem is related to the use of UCRDs to retrieve and the UCRDs do not have the HARD driver/firmware/application disc.
But then again, I know.

Portege M400 - new HARD drive retains the old HARD drive password?
I have a Portege M400 and I want to move my current hard drive with a new one.
My current hard drive is password protected (I know the password).
My questions are:If I switch to a new hard drive, a new retains the old password or not?
Can I use the old drive with an external enclosure as an external drive, or it is impossible?
I already tried to delete the password for hard drive with the methods presented on this forum by going into the BIOS, but version 3.8 has no option to remove the HDD password and I think that it is impossible to remove it.
Please answer only if you have experience in cases like this, I don't want to spend money on the new hard drive and not be able to use as primary.
Hey Buddy
Please check this thread:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=141590You can remove the HDD password (if it s you known) in the BIOS.
In the field "User password" tab and just enter the old password. If you do want to set the new password, and then press "Enter".See you soon

Portege 3500: Need a new HARD drive
Hello
I bought a Portege 3500 and after a few weeks of use, the hard disk or fan (safe) started to make loud noises and now every time I turn on the laptop screens toshiba rises and it happens eventually to a screen I wrote what he said below.
I read somewhere that this means that my hard drive is over and I have to buy a new hard drive.
Is this true and if so anyone know where I can get a drive hard because the laptop is old?The only one I've seen that is in stock is of about £230 and it's about the same price, I bought the laptop.
Or is there a solution ive tried going on in all modes but it just restarts and Ive also tried to reinstall the OS using the cd but I can't in the menu option to reinstall XP."We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically closed down to protect your files and folders, select last good known Configuration to return to the most recent settings that worked.
If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the Power or Reset button has been activated, or if you are not sure what caused the problem, choose Start Windows normally.
Safe mode
Safe mode with networking
Safe mode with command prompt
Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
Start Windows normallyUse top and down arrow keys to move the selection of your choice.

Hello
AFAIK Portege 3500 was equipped with the 40 GB IDE HDD.
This is why you must use an IDE hard drives (not SATA).Now, it would be important to know what max HD size could be compatible;
If the laptop supports 40 GB I think a 60 GB HARD drive might work too.I think that you should just google for some 40 GB, 60 GB hard drives, that supports the IDE!

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.

Never have cloned a tough, a few questions.
My computer is a Dell GX620. The current HARD drive is a SATA 80 GB. It is shown as drive 0 in the BIOS.
I want to install a 160 GB SATA HDD and clone the content of 80 GB (about 30 GB) on the 160 GB drive.
I am aware to configure things in the BIOS to enable the SATA port to recognize the new hard drive.Y at - it a particular order as to which HD goes first and the second on the power cable?
Will be the 80 GB hd still remain as main, even after cloning?
I guess I need a clone pre-installed for this program?
Bill NoyesYou will have problems if you try to clone with two drives internally and then Exchange. The way to proceed is to clone via a cable of usb drive and then close and install the new largest disk in place of the old drive.

Install the new hard drive - how to proceed?
My hard drive has bad sectors which (according to Spinrite) is not repairable. I also ran all the HP utilities who tell me that the hard drive needs to be replaced. So, I bought a new one that is the same size and the brand as what exists currently in my laptop.
Laptop is HDX16 that came with Vista. I upgraded to Win7 before realizing that my Imaging backups were a failure due to bad sectors. The last good picture I have with Shadow Protect is the system with Vista and is now 3 weeks old. Meanwhile, I use Norton Security backup feature to back up all my files on a daily basis. I noticed yesterday that Win7 has a built-in backup feature imagery so decided to see if she would complete successfully and he did. So now, I have a picture of the Win7 installation as well.
I did system recovery disks for my laptop. If I read information of HP correctly, when I run the restore, it will automatically create the partitions C & D on the new drive, install the recovery disk D environment and continues to run since that installation of Vista hard disk? If so, once the operating system is running on the hard drive again, I think I can then move to Win7 yet and then use the recovery feature to copy the image, I made yesterday to the laptop. Is this correct? Am I missing something?
Otherwise, my other option would be to run the recovery discs, then use the Shadow protect recovery disks to copy the old image of 3 weeks, then switch to Win7 again and somehow find all the files I have created/changed over the last 3 weeks I want to keep and they copy to the laptop?
Any suggestions appreciated because this is the first time I installed a new hard drive.
Thank you.
JO Anne
Hello
It may be faster to simply restore the image of Windows 7 that you have created the new hard - to do this, you'll need to the Image and a Windows 7 repair CD (you should have been prompted to do this after you have created the Image of the system). The link below is a guide detailing how to restore an Image of Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

My MacBook Pro was built in mid-2009, a 2.6 GHz, 13-inch, I just put a new hard drive 700 GB and I added a new battery to include a new CD/DVD drive. I spent more than 400 million dollars.
I understand that I won't be able to get the next Sierra of OS. I need to by a new Mac?
Talk to the people the more I would get if I turn in I'd get is about are about $ 100 million. Please tell me it isn't so.
If you want Siera you will need a new Mac, but you can continue to use the old one as long as you want.

new hard drive, how to reinstall OS x
I have a new hard drive after a crash of the former. How can I install OSX top?
You should be able to boot the Mac using recovery Internet if you updated the firmware to enable.
OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support
If you don't have to update the Firmware to allow it to use the Internet in recovery, you need to use the installation provided with the Mac DVD.
Either way, you start the Mac.
Open disk utility and format the drive under OS X Extended journaled.
Then, quit disk utility and reinstall OS X.
Who will install the operating system on the Mac (likely Lion).
You can then improve it to El Capitan.
If you have a Time Machine backup, you can restore it in recovery from the Internet instead of reinstalling the operating system.

I installed a new hard drive after backing up my old one (Snow Leopard) on Time Machine. I can't understand how to restore the backup to the new hard drive.
First install the OS on the new drive.
During the installation process (or just after, I forget exactly), it will offer you the possibility to configure the machine based on a Time Machine backup. Point it at your TM drive and come back in the morning (it will take a long time).
