• Satellite Pro L50 - a: how to replace the memory, HARD drive and battery

  I just uploaded 2 new video from Youtube on the L50 - A. Satellite Pro

  The first is a tear down showing how to replace the memory, hard drive and battery (you can also clean the fan if it detects overheating).

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=IG0lW7t92bI

  BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

  WARNING - proceed at your own risk and don't forget static precautions!

  Hope they help and if you have any questions let me know.

  Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
  Be careful about this.

• Can satellite A100-847 - I replace my current HARD drive with a SATA2 HARD drive?

  Hello

  I am currently using a Satellite A100-847 with a 100 GB SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive. I plan to change with a Western Digital WD2500BEKT 250 GB SATA2 16 MB 2.5 inch laptop hard drive 7200 TRM. Is it possible to replace my current HARD drive which is SATA with a one SATA2?

  And if not what is my best option upgrade of the mine to a HARD fast (7200 RPM) disc?

  Hello!

  Yes, you can replace the current drive with a SATA2 HARD disk. You already have a SATA interface, and this means that you can use each HDD with SATA interface.

  I don't know Mr. but as far as I know the Satellite A100 cannot use the speed of SATA1. This means that the new HARD drive maybe won't work with SATA1 speed but there is no significant difference in performance.

  A HARD drive with 7200 RPM is really fast, but don t forget it produces more heat and needs more electric battery. A HARD disk at 5400 RPM is perhaps fast enough for you?

  Good bye

• Replacing an old hard drive causes the system had become unbootable

  OK, here's the scenario.

  Background:
  My old computer with Windows XP has been installed on a hard disk of 40 GB. Later through subsequent updates, I bought the upgrade Windows Vista Professional (retail) and proceeded to install Vista on a brand new 250 GB hard drive. Initially, he had some problems I did a clean install with upgrade to Vista, but then with the help of Mircrosoft support (and several hours of reformats and corrupt the old installation of XP) managed to get Vista installed hard disk new and active. I kept the old drive hard in the computer for about a year, but then noticed that he was starting to get out. I moved all the old information off the drive and recently bought a 1 TB drive to replace. I deleted everything that above with the exception of a few remaining files that won't let me not delete - documents and settings and startup records, respectively.

  Problem:
  When I take the old 40 GB hard drive to reside on Windows XP, my computer when startup is unable to find a drive it can boot from. Under disk management, it is labeled as system - even if the windows directory is on a completely separate drive. My intention was to replace the old hard drive, but I can't get my computer to recognize that it is not on the system drive somehow.

  Question:
  Is it possible to change what hard drive is recognized as a system disk or make sure I can get out the old hard drive and still keep my bootable system?

  Hello Lightningfst,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers Forum.  First off I would say that, before trying any of the suggestions I'm about to do that you completely back up the contents of the drive with Vista Business as a precaution.  The first suggestion I have is to copy the MBR of the disk of 40G to 250G drive.  It could be as simple as that.  However, when Windows sees a drive and initializes it, Windows writes a serial number of 4 bytes in the MBR (sector 0) of the disc. No matter what partition you create on this disc is then associated with the serial number and the drive letter that the partition is given.

  When you then progress to clone a boot partition on the new disk with a cloning program that does not copy the MBR, the serial number of the old drive is not copied to the new disk, so the new disk retains its serial number Windows has seen before.

  When Windows starts on the new disc, he sees the serial number of the new drive and guess the partition that is on that now belongs to the previously selected drive letter which is almost always not C:. Since installing Windows starts on C:, there is now no C: drive when Windows starts. Trying to connect allows Windows attempts to load the user from C:\Documents and Settings\registry, and the C: drive is not there, so Windows simply to abandon the attempt to logon and closes a session back.

  If this happens to you after copy the MBR of the disk of 40G to 150G Unit let us know and we can help you solve the problems that.  I hope this information is useful.

  Thank you

  Assuming that you are referring to Windows 7, there is a good guide on the link below for the present - to ensure that if the Disk Image is saved on an external HARD drive, that it is connected before starting.

• Install the operating system after replacing the corrupted hard drive Asus q500a

  The hard drive on my Asus Q500a is bad (he had checked the repairman). They told me that I could replace it (it will just keep failing until at last it dies just) but I have to re - install the operating system. The laptop comes with Windows 7 and I upgraded to 8 when it came out (I think). I don't have a recovery disk.

  How can I replace the corrupted hard drive and re-install the operating system?

  If I need to buy Windows 8, where can I find?

  Would it not easier that I left the repair shop handle it?

• Can I replace the SSD HARD drive in my sve15123cv

  Hello

  I use sve15123cv, I want to replace the SSD HARD drive. Is this possible?

  Which SSD is good?

  Hi zunnun,.

  Thank you for visiting the Sony community!

  It is possible, but we cannot guarantee that it will work without any problem. You need to consider certain things such as the specification of the HARD drive, thickness or dimension of the SSD that you plan to install first. Your Vaio SVE15123CV is a non American model. Unfortunately, we do not have full details and specifications of your machine. However, you can coordinate with the Sony support based on your location or where you bought the device.

  For further assistance about your concern, please contact the representative offices of offices/Sony Sony nearest your place of residence in the Asia-Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to the proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.

• Replaced the portable hard drive, and I can't delete the EISA partition on original disk (which I want to reuse)

  I use a laptop 17 inch set that has two slots for drives 2.5 inch/9.5 mm, but it only came with a hard drive (in the primary).  I recently bought a 160 GB SSD and installed in the main Bay, by completely removing the original hard drive.  I installed Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit on my new SSD using my OEM Vista disc (as well as all pilots, maintenance SSD utility provided by its manufacturer, etc.), and it works beautifully.

  The secondary hard drive Bay was still empty, so I put my original hard drive (conventional spinning drives) return in this Bay. It was immediately found my BIOS and Windows, so I cut and pasted all the valuable data on my SSD (it is not many).  Then I deleted the main partition, for the purpose of releasing the entire disk for stuff like the music.

  Much to my dismay, the snap disk management in the utility included in Windows Vista computer management doesn't let me delete the EISA partition on my old hard drive. When I right click on the Visual representation of the partition, the only option I get is 'Help', 'Remove' or other useful functions (who did not appear for the main partition, and I was able to delete).

  I need the EISA partition because A) is not yet on my boot drive and B) I have all my original OEM recovery disks, and they are in excellent condition.

  If someone could tell me how I could delete the EISA partition on a hard drive formerly-primary but secondary now 111GB laptop to recover the last 9 GB for use by the illustrious Mozart and Tchaikovsky, I would be very grateful.

  I expect there to be a way to do this in Windows, I don't know, that's why I post here, but if not, I am willing to find and download an ISO to burn a disk Knoppix to start Linux temporarily just to delete the EISA partition (well I would really prefer not to do it for various reasons).

  I ended up downloading a free disk partitioning softpedia.com hard tool and he was able to delete the EISA partition without problem.  I then uninstalled the free tool I had just downloaded (honestly, I don't even remember the name of the program, but it was not hard to find in the list of hard disk utilities Softpedia search), and then used the disk management snap-in in the computer management utility to format the disk, which now has my music on it.

  I started this thread when I thought I was out of options, to quickly realize that some kind of solution could be obtained by downloading something from Softpedia, which was true.

  My apologies for taking up forum, but I hope someone in a similar situation finds this useful thread.

  Thank you very much!

• Satellite A210-171 - replacement screen and HARD drive

  Hello

  My partner is having some problems with his laptop computer, namely one - screen flickering Guard (lines run through, like a jump of TV) indicates that there may be a problem to use. She's out of its warranty, so I'm going to replace the screen.
  Can anyone suggest where to look for a replacement, we are not rich - I have a budget for it and so I'm looking for some advice.

  Second, she had a replacement hard drive recently, the person who put the new, has done so with a lot less of it, 60 GB instead of 160 GB, I'm looking to replace it in the same was as above.

  So, can you give me advice on this practice as the last time I worked on a portable computer was 2001 (the size of a house!) and also make suggestions on alternatives less expensive which would continue to operate.

  The laptop in question; http://www.morecomputers.com/extra.asp?PN=psafje-003003ks

  Thank you very much

  Hey Buddy,

  In this case, you must contact an authorized service provider. Guys can order all spare parts Toshiba they will agree and will function properly. On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of them!

  On the LCD, you should choose an original. There are many different screen on the market and it is difficult to tell if another would work in your notebook.

  The HARD drive, you can buy everywhere. Just ask Google for some online stores where you can buy it. I have good experiences with Western Digital.

  for the readers of plateau...

  You can use any 2.5 ", height 9.5 mm SATA drive. I got one for hitachi travelstars (now owned by western digital), which were originally ibm. others have all also good luck with (and loyalty towards) other brands. Choose your ability, the speed, the size of the cache, etc. of many online merchants have a good selection.

  for SSDS.

  same features as physical size above. you will need to do research in reliability, chip controller oddities, etc., but they get a lot more reliable. they need it another type of disaster recovery plan, however, as failure means no data is salvageable I heard. with top readers, depending on the type of failure, some recovery is generally possible without resorting to expensive professional services.

  for both types of readers, you should be able to use disks of 7 mm of height also long as you install the drive in the case of existing drive and use rubber track. This maintains alignment connector with the drive Bay.

• Pavilion G6t-2200: replacement for the hard drive g6t-2200 problem

  Original hard drive failed completely. Have inserted 3 different drives in this laptop and BIOS doesn't recognise it, even a brand new 500 GB drive.

  Any suggestions on how to get this pc to recognize a replacement disk would be appreciated. I buy HP recovery CD and they do not work on it because of this problem.

  PS the pc was working fine until the original disc is dead so I suspect not the motherboard.

  Hey @DaveTully,

  See if the BIOS is set on and switch to whatever that is not defined on the secure boot or inheritance.

  Here is a guide on how to do it: Computers HP - Secure Boot (Windows 8)

• has had to replace the internal hard drive! need help!

  Hi, laptop HP HDX - 1056CA

  My internal hard drive is totally dead after 2 years (warranty expired), and I had to replace it. I dropped in the new hard drive. But I don't know what are my next steps

  Do I really need to refer to the recovery discs - and they will work on a new hard drive? -I don't mind send away if that's what is needed, but I can't recover my old data, I hope that I can just download the drivers and leave with the machine... (also I go to work on Monday for 2 weeks at an oil rig, records will not be here in time and I won't be able to stay in touch with my friends and my family like the network is very limited as to what we can access if the computers in the Organization).

  can I use my desk top of the page to download and burn the recovery discs? can someone link me to the right place (HP HDX16 - 1056CA).

  My other question is that I have upgraded to windows 7 from Vista, when I ask to do recovery disks I have ask for the vista version and upgrade again (will be microsoft / the computer accepts the only time only upgrading key again?)  or should I go for the version of windows 7?  I need to re install the windows original vista and then switch again to win7, being that the computer has been configured for vista before the upgrade.

  Thank you very much for any help or insight people can give me! I really appreciate it!

  Hi all

  I had a BBQ and three guests oil and gas software and refused to feed them until thelaptop has been fixed.

  They threw the XP disc across the room and were able to start the player directly at the exit of the disk upgrade of windows 7 using the Custom Installation option.

  I'm afraid I can't give you more information, others that there is no need to first load the XP or the use of the USB box with the zip file in in order to recognize that the new installation drive.

  Thanks everyone for all the help offered here here.

• Specifications required for the replacement of a hard drive

  Hello

  I have a Presario CQ60 laptop 212em. If I had to replace my hard drive and could not get a replacement of original HP for my computer, what are the elements of the specification would I need to know when looking for a new from another manufacturer to ensure a smooth transition?  Does anyone know the full spec of this hard drive in mine, or how I can find it? I live in England and the originals of HP are not sold here... no positive result from Google anyway.

  Also using HD another manufacturer would affect my use of the HP Recovery discs?

  Thank you

  You need a laptop SATA hard drive. They are generic and interchangeable and much, much less expensive purchased retail rather than buying directly from HP. I think that well less than 50 pounds will buy a 250 GB or 320 GB. We isolated reported problems with 500 gig and any size of 7200 rpm disks. I have never had these problems, but they are there so to be 100% sure get anything larger than 320 gig and stick with rotational speed of 5400 RPM.

  You, the recovery disks to recover on any hard drive, which you put in there.

  Here is an example of a good reader on newegg.com and I think they ship to Europe or I don't know that you can find a similar site in the United Kingdom:

  320 GB 5400 RPM drive
