• I want to clone my original equipment existing 500 GB HARD drive to a new 1 TB HARD drive replacement. How?

  G ' Day,.

  I'm getting too big for my old 500 GB HARD drive, so I bought a new 1 TB HARD drive.

  Now I have all of the rescue disks that I made when I first got my laptop Compaq Presario CQ57-105TU . I could use them & fresh install all software & original OS, but then I have to start from scratch and re-install all the software I have installed, in addition to redo all adjustments & changes I made to the Windows 7 operating system since the first day - a year ago.

  Not really how I want to spend the next week or two around.

  I would like to clone the orig 500 GB HDD & all of its content to a new 1 TB of HARD drive.

  Sounds like where I want to go, but for 1 small question. I heard that if I just I'll have about 500 GB of space available new but I was also told that I will not be able to create new partitions of disk on the new HARD drive because of any existing partitions on the original HARD disk are created.

  1. is this true?

  2. in the case, where can I find a failsafe procedure to accomplish the clone, & then create 2 new partitions to cover the free space on the new drive.

  3. If so, is there a work around? If there is what is the procedure (plse give me cramps of brain with the jargon of techno... tnx)

  Some additional information that might be important.

  At the present time, my HARD drive has this configuration:

  

  Now that (Q) Local drive is diferent.  It shows 0 bytes available & 0 bytes used, & I don't have access to it.

  Computer of my wife... another laptop CQ62 model... also has the same drive,

  but hers is labeled as Microsoft Office 2010 Starter... as 0 bytes available & used - also no access, & as below, not showing is not in Dmgt.

  This drive does not appear in my Configuration of MANAGEMENT OF RECORDS : http://i.imgur.com/r4LPrDa.jpg

  Him early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese

  OK...'s done it!

  I used my CLONING HDD DOCKING STATION friends exactly like this, but he bought from a different seller 2 years ago.

  All I did was take my 500 GB drive original & placed in A slot (the front slot - Master) & I placed the new Toshiba 1 TB disk in slot B (the second slot behind Slot A... Middle - Slave). I turned the power on the box. I waited until readers spun & were ready, & I don't have a press the red button on the box...

  25% light started to blink & cloning began...

  About 40 minutes later 50% light began to Flash & the 25% brightness has remained stable.

  This means that 25%of the process has been done, & he went to 50%. .

  This sequence was continued until finally all the lights were on fixed (25% to 100%) which means that the clone was complete.

  I think it took about 2 hours and 15 minutes to clone completely.

  I closed the box power off. Then, I removed the two discs.

  I installed the new drive in the laptop carefully, & reinserted the battery, & I plugged power/charger/adapter sector of the laptop.

  Then, I ran into my fingers & press work / laptop computer shutdown.

  A few seconds my laptop has been as always to initialize.  I just had to check to make sure that I have installed the new drive... & Yes the one on the desk was the original, no doubt which means that my laptop startup disk was indeed the new drive I cloned just to.

  My laptop is started without fault!  without a hitch. Just as he always had.

  I used my computer management Administrative tool - disk management & made a simple volume for the 450 + GB of free space, affecting the next letter available player - in my car (F) case & I named it so.

  Everything worked perfectly, I can read & write on the new partition/volume. As I mentioned previously, I probably won't be able to start from scratch, but my drive (C), but it's fine for me.

  So, what have I learned?

  Well, first of all, my Compaq Presario CQ57-105TU can go to 1 TB of HARD drive without modification.

  Using the cloning method, I did no doubt saved full at least 1 weeks of resettlement work if I selected the new installation method using backup/rescue disks when the computer was first, I created started way back when.

  Outside the 2 + hours time, it took to clone the drive, 15 +/-minutes initially to remove & reinstall the drive, & the time it took to assign the new free space a drive letter (every 5-10 minutes) the procedure was clearly simple cut, I know could have been done differently, but not as simply as the method I chose.

  Pepe, thank you much for the time you spent researching my issues & responding to my message.

  I'm so glad all your fears & roadblocks have been made not, & in the end, it was possible to accomplish the task against our initial concerns - count in a very loose way with the greatest ease.

  Here are some pictures of the Station of Clone (the box) exactly like the one I used:

• Partitioning hard drive, I want to spend 30/40 GB drive and the remaining space for the creation of other partitions.

  I created a recovery disc for my system that I bought the new laptop.
  It consist of 500 GB HARD drive, now the problem is the C - drive which is my WIN7 Home Basic installed occupies 400 GB of space and the D-drive has only 25 GB.
  My problem is I want to partition the drive C so that the other player must occupy the space according to my condition.
  But here its only gives me half the space to shrink.
  I mean, when I opened diskmgmt to shrink, C this is 200 GB disk space allotted to me.
  Medium I can use this space to create other partitions, but what I want is, I want to spend 30/40 GB C drive and the remaining space for the creation of other partitions.
  Help, please... Thnks...

  That's what we tried to tell you. An OEM installation does not lend itself to change and having to clear guarantees for re-setup means that you must be quite certain that you have other reliable ways to re-setup.

  If you want to dabble with Linux or dual boot, you should buy a complete commercial edition of Windows 7 that will give you more flexibility and accept that for drivers etc, you're on your own...

• Qosmio G30 - RAID may not reflect new 500 GB HARD drive

  I have installed 2 new identical 500 GB hard in my Qosmio G30 with Windows XP.

  The system works well, but the disc cannot be mirrored. Report of the Raid Controller is 'Normal Operation status.

  This disk cannot be used for mirroring because it is outside the management of the RAID."

  Who can tell me whether it is a disc error or is the drive of 500 GB to big for the toshiba with Windows XP raid controller?

  > Can anyone tell me if it of a disc error, or is the drive of 500 GB to big for the toshiba with Windows XP raid controller?

  Hmm. I m not very good, but it could be possible that the 500 GB HARD drive is too big for the mirroring of the mode.

  But have you tried to change the mode in comforter Toshiba RAID you might find in Toshiba Assist-> Protect Fix & -> RAID Console

  Check if you can switch to the mirroring.

  By the way; RAID-1 is defined in the BIOS?
  Usually, when you use RAID-1 configuration, the RAID is set to mirroring. In this case, the operating system recognizes the reduced ability to both hard drives (in your case, it is not important since you are using the two 500 GB HDD).

  Check it!

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

• Clubhouse second 500-319na hard drive

  I bought a HP Pavilion 500 - 319na Office in summer and you want to install a 2nd hard drive. There are alternatives to the Board connections and the power supply for the internal hard drive has a backup connection. From what I read, it must be SATA 3. I've read conflicting opinions on this forum.  Some say yes, some say no.

  OK, there seems to be only have a single Bay (a bad oversight by HP) but as I find a way to get another drive is there a reason why it shouldn't work.

  From what I've read there are 2 max by TB.

  I want a definitive answer please!

  8.1 64-bit win.

  It's the hard drive, which I intend to buy.  The specification says XP, Vista, Win 7, but do I with that reason to think it should work win 8.1

• I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?

  I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?  Somewhere in the 320 to 500 GB range and I want a quick unit because it will be used for rendering videos.    Thank you for your response.

  Hello

  How fast is fast is the real question.

  Have you looked at hybrid drives OCZ? Expensive but probably the fastest option.

  Seagate also made a hybrid hard drive.  Good price... You will need a 3.5 "to 2.5" support if the player does not support.  If you install the drive in an empty optical Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 2.5" support.

  Your other choice is 7 200 or 10 000 rpm traditional hard drives.

  Another option would be to add a PCI sata and two external hard dirves configured in RAID 0.

• Is it possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?

  I wonder if it is possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?

  If 'yes', I guess I have to go for a SATA SSD if there is. But I have to worry about other specs?

  If 'Yes'... what could be.

  I googled my question but no answers... so I ty Wizzards :-) Forum

  @Lord_Nikon

  In fact, this is not true. As long as he uses a large SSD enough it will be able to use the recovery media. I suggest using a SSD of 256 or 512 GB if budgeted for the upgrade...

  He doesn't have to make a Windows 7 installation USB drive and use the activation key license on the certificate of authenticity from the PC Windows to perform a cleanup to install.

  One of them should be on your PC. The Prodct key is what is needed for installation and activation online.

• Qosmio G30-126 (PQG32E) - very slow performance of HARD drive

  I have improved my Qosmio G30 126 at 4 GB of Ram, SSD 64 HDD as windows7 boot partition and 500 GB 7200 64cache HARD drive as drive HARD secondary but I have a very slow HARD drive performance when working in windows7, but when I work on a virtual machine Windows XP, the disk HARD perforemance is fine.

  I've upgraded all drivers from toshiba.com for windows7 ultimate 32-bit drivers including drivers from the chipset intel but my problem is not solved. I also check all other performance issues and its OK.

  The same problem exsists on my old HARD drive on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit and Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit.

  I used HD tune software to check my HARD drive it accelerates gives about 100bps in windows 7 for my SSD and it gives 285mbps (this is the actual read speed) in the machine virtual Windows XP and the actual speed is significantly different.

  Please tell me what to do because I suffer from my laptop very slow and spend a lot of mony on it without more.

  Hello

  To be honest it is really hard to tell why you have slow HARD drive performance but especially it s associated with a large number of programs they are running in the background. How many processes are started after Windows starts?

  Also, the antivirus program may affect the performance of the computer. I would recommend using the AntiVir freeware tool and the Windows Firewall. That's enough if keep you Windows up-to-date and use a new Internet browser.

  Also check the other discussions of the forum on the slow performance. You can find a lot of useful tips to improve performance. For example:
  -Defragment HARD drive
  -Disable the startup programs you don't need
  -Uninstall unnecessary programs
  -Run the CCleaner tool to remove old registry keys

• Qosmio X X 870-1006: browsing movies to HARD drive

  Hi, I'm new here and I want to question asa...

  I recently purchased a qosmio.
  It was working fine, until one day I tried to watch a movie to the HARD drive.
  It was great and everything, but then I realized that the tone of voice is higher.
  It started to sound a bit like the Chipmunk and the speed of video playback is faster than expected (maybe it's the cause of the noise problem))... but when I also try to play a movie on a DVD disc it works perfectly fine.

  I tried all the videos I have on my HARD drive, and each has the same problem.

  Can someone help me?

  Have you tried different software as for example the VLC Player?
  Try it!
  Install VLC player and test how would be the video files from the HARD drive

  By the way: what types of video files are affected (avi, mp4, mpeg, etc.)?

• 2800-500 satellite HARD drive upgrade

  Hi all

  Am wanting to upgrade my drive hard toshiba 2800-500, because it is currently has a 20 GB in there no model no MK2016GAP and would like to upgrade to a 40 GB with a model without MK4018GAS. I just want to know if it will work without any restrictions for example BIOS problems or other things?

  Hi Christian,

  You should have no problem of reclassification of the a 20 GB hard drive to a 40 GB one. The machines no longer manufactured (or updated BIOS) after the end of the 1990s can handle larger disks.

  Kind regards

• Satellite U400: Change a 250 GB on a 500 GB hard drive

  Hello

  hope you can help me...

  I am interested in the Toshiba laptop Satellite U400. The hard drive is to small for me.

  I just want to know if it is possible to change the hard drive to a new one with 500 GB. It must be a 2.5 inch as Samsung's Spinpoint hard drive, right?

  Or can someone tell me about another 500 GB that I can use for this laptop?

  Thank you...

  Hello
  Well you can use hard drives from other manufacturers like Hitachi. The important thing here is, it must be 2.5 "and the SATA interface. That's all.

  Technique, it would not be a problem, but I don't know if the BIOS will recognize the big HDD.
