• System recovery satellite M50 after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  The drive of my laptop Satellite M50 becomes rather clicky and looks like it's on its way. Replacing, it will not present any problems, but I will replace it with a drive of at least double the capacity of origin.

  At one point, I had installed a Linux system and when I tried to reinstall my Windows system on a partition that is smaller than the entire recovery cd disk threw a wobbly and refused to proceed as it did not recognize the hardware profile of my portable computer, that the drive was too small.

  I expect the same thing to be true once I upgraded the HARD drive.

  How can I avoid this problem?

  Thanks in advance

  I would like to clone the old drive if it is an option.

• Satellite A50 - message from system disk insert after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  I have an old A50 and the HARD drive comes with it's very slow and cracking now, so I'm trying to replace it with a new HDD - Hitachi travelstar 7200 RPM of 60 GB, with ATA interface.

  I took the old HDD and put the new, then on A50 and press F12, and then insert the CD recovery and restored (installation) everything on the new HARD drive. Once it's done, I rebooted A50, but what I got is then a black screen with the message "Insert system disk..." Does anyone know what I did wrong? I got tired of it several times, but I got the same results...

  Thank you.

  I think that Akuma is right.

  On FAT32 and Windows 98 should define the active partition, and then it should work.
  Then download a MS-DOS boot disk and burn it to a CD as Akuma has suggested. I tried it and it works :)
  It is quite easy with Nero.

  Good luck!

• Recovery value creation after replacing hard drive

  I am running Windows 7 on a laptop Pavilion. I have a recovery of the value that I created a few years before on the DVD-r. In the meantime, I had my hard drive (and then my processor) replaced under warranty. Do I need to recreate a set of recovery, or the existing set will work?

  Hello

  As long as the motherboard has not changed, your existing recovery disc set should work fine.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro 2100: How do I reinstall the OS after replacing HARD drive

  I have a Toshiba SP2100 and I want to replace the hard drive, but I don't have any recovery CD
  So, how can I put the o/s back on?

  Try to connect the external HARD drive to the computer via the USB port and try to copy all content from the internal HARD disk external HARD drive. Then you could try to insert the external HARD drive in the laptop.
  But I've never tried this procedure and don t know if it will work.

  But usually after replacing HARD drive you should boot from the Boot CD as recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
  After the installation of clean Windows OS, you can visit the Toshiba drivers and you can download and install the drivers of Toshiba and utilities.

• Satellite 1410 714 extremely slow after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite 1410-714 which has had a hard drive failure. I replaced the drive, but now the computer is extremely slow. Windows has been reinstalled, it was really slow too much and now it takes minutes for windows to start.

  I suspect that something might have broken on the motherboard and the hard disk. I checked mobo replacement parts, but have not found anything for-714, so a 1410 mobo compatible? This model has a processor celeron 1.8.

  Thanks for help.

  Hello

  I can t think the motherboard is broken after replacing HARD drive.
  I suggest updating the BIOS first. Maybe your old BIOS have a few problems with the most recent HARD drive.
  Please check site driver Toshiba for the latest version of BIOS.

  Have you used any anties Virus applications?

• HP Pavilion 17: mouse pad does not work after replacing hard drive

  Hello

  After replacing hard drive and installing windows 8.1, I can't use my mouse pad.

  I installed the Synaptics driver but it didn't help.

  How can I check that mousepad device is not damaged when replacing the hard drive and which also can I try to fix the mouse pad?

  USB mouse works fine.

  See you soon

  The only way to be sure is to open it up and see if the touchpad cable was disconnected during the upgrade of the hard drive. That's my bet. Easy to forget when you're winding. You don't provide complete model number, but many of the recent models Pavilion 17 require removal of the cover together to get hard disk that requires disconnection of the touchpad cable.

• Recovery disk works does not after replacing hard drive Pavilion dv7

  Hello. I have problems of replacement of a failed hard drive in my HP Pavilion dv7-6154nr notebook running Windows 7. New HARD drive seems to install OK, but I get a Windows Boot Manager error when I try to run the recovery disks created when the system was purchased. The message says "the boot selection failed because a required device is not accessible" "status: Oxc000000f.

  More info: I upgraded the HARD drive from a Toshiba MK6476GSX - 640 GB - 5400 RPM for a WD Black 7500BPKTSP.  I don't see any info in the new HARD drive in system information / BIOS so I don't know if it is recognized. However, it take and pass a diagnostic test.

  Thank you.

  You are the very welcome.

  Now you get the drivers from the support page and driver for your PC.

  If you have a problem to find drivers (such as the wireless, unless you already knew what the wireless adapter model you have in the PC, you will not know which driver to install).

  Just after the hardware ID's for all you can't find the drivers.  Who need device drivers appears in the Manager for devices with a little yellow. brand and labelled with material generic terms such as a network Contoller or PCI device, etc.

  If you don't know how to find the hardware ID, please read the info on the link below.

  Hello

  You need to create the own recovery in the past disc!
  This recovery disk allows you to install the Toshiba image after the HARD drive is dead or has been replaced.

  In case you have not created this disk, it is possible to order this support:

• No sound on my Satellite after replacing HARD drive.

  I recently got a new hard drive on my PC, but there is now no sound system in the computer.
  I guess I need to install drivers? What drivers do I need and how to install? Thank you.

  Hello

  You really think that someone will be able to post a useful answer without knowing details of your laptop model and the installed windows operating system?

  I can tell you a standard procedure.
  After having changed and replaced the HARD drive, take the Toshiba Recovery disc and install the system using this disc.
  All the drivers and tools are preinstalled on this OS, and by using the recovery disk, you should get the sound on your laptop.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro P100: How to recover BONES after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  I bought a satellite Pro P100, and I want to change my hard drive
  I have the CD restored, but I think that this will not work with a new hard drive!
  What can I do to recover my windows?

  Sorry for my englich!

  Thank you

  Hey Phillipe,

  Your recovery CD works on what hard drive install you in your laptop. Are the only factors affecting the hard disk of your choice: -.

  1. compatibility of the BIOS (should not be a problem with the P100 model)
  This model mainly old laptop impact where the BIOS could not recognize larger drives.

  2 form factor
  You should make sure that the disc you choose has the same physical dimensions as your
  existing drive.

  3 speed
  Disks hard more quickly improve access times so check out 5400 and 7200 RPM. (there may be a problem
  with the generation of heat so 5400 RPM is probably better than 7200)

  The are no problem with Windows licenses as the license applies to the operating system itself and not on the hard disk on which it is installed.

  Kind regards

• HP 14-r206nv: Windows activation rejects laptop product key after replacing hard drive

  Hello.

  The hard drive of my laptop not then the computer was sent to the official service (first back to the store where I bought as it is still under warranty). Today, that she came to me with a new hard drive but with no OS installed, so I tried to install it on my own as I am a student in computer engineering.

  I know that in windows preinstalled computers laptops like mine is the product key is stored in the bios I did a clean install of Windows 8.1 64bits (non-professional because I know that you need to install the exact same version). But the problem is that now, windows can not be activated. Activation in internet reports"Error Code: 0xC004C003. "Error description: the activation server determined the specified product key has been blocked '.

  So I tried to do an activation phone but microsoft support, they responded that it is not a valid product key and that I should get in touch with the manufacturer! What's wrong?

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your post on activation problems and wanted to help.
  
  Sorry, but that's just one buy volunteers self-help personal forum and we cannot do anything about the problem of activation of here.

  As I see it, you have two options (1) of the store and the Support of HP (2).

  About the store, they SHOULD have returned the laptop you fully functional.  So if it was MY PC, I would go assault store and REQUEST that they we're right.  You've taken or sent to them to be fixed, not to give cost you a virgin machine!

  Regarding technical Support HP, as this PC is still under warranty, you should contact HP Customer Support directly so they put you in contact with HP Tech Support to see what they can do on the diagnosis and repair of your machine remotely.
  
  I did recently, and HP technology was able to remotely access my PC on the Internet and to make the necessary repairs.
