• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• How can I restore Vista after replacing hard drive?

  Hi I have a PC laptop toshiba stellite with basic windows vista preinstalled, I suffered a hard drive failure and I had to install a new hard drive, I did save the procedure hard disk original and recorded on the disc but the disc will not work on the new hard drive, I have still the product key for the original operating system can I how can restore the operating system to factory condition

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Satellite L300D-242 - cannot install Vista after replacing HARD drive

  Hi wonder if anyone can help mei have a L300D_242 toshiba satellite that broke down and I bought a new hard drive for it because the original was not good.

  I tried to install a Vista premium 32 bit on the new hard drive, but it does not install until the 4th stage and then stops or hangs until he finishes.

  Does anyone know how to install a new hard drive and windows on this laptop?

  Thank you

  Hello

  What Vista did you use? TOSHIBA recovery disk or a disk of Microsoft Vista?
  Format you the new HARD disk before starting the installation of Vista?

  It is possible that the new HARD drive is not good and therefore the system can not be installed properly
  You can check the drive HARD using a tool called Drive Fitness Test download this as its a freeware program and test your HARD drive.

• How can I reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive?

  I strongly suspect failure of hard drive on my old computer XPS 420. Data recovery isn't a problem. However, because the way I too lazy to buy a whole new operating system, is possible that I can transfer the installation of Windows Vista on a new hard drive? I told me that Dell will send me an installation disc to do, but how to make a record like this, and is there another way?

  I'm thinking of ghosting the HDD on another and the use of the recovery for nuke partition in a new facility, but it would even work?

  Thank you

  The simplest method, I prefer to install a replacement hard drive, is to clone the existing hard drive to the new, that will also transfer all applications and programs.

  You need an imaging utility, similar to True Image Home 2015.

  http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage

  Acronis resize partitions transferred to match the size of the new hard drive.

  Hard drive manufacturers, also have their own free cloning software available, but it can be used only with their hard drives.
  
  First, install the new drive as the secondary and the image of the main hard drive in it.

  Immediately after the cloning, shut down the system, switch the data cable [SATA port 0] to the new disk, making the new master hard drive and see if the system boots properly.

  Start the system with only the new hard drive connected.

  Be sure to leave the original drive disconnected, until the new hard drive is working to your satisfaction.

  Before cloning a hard drive, make sure that the existing drive has no corruption or virus on it, because they will be transferred to the new hard drive.

  It will take a second SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

  What is obtaining a disc from the Dell operating system Vista OEM [If Dell still copies of this available media], but you can be out of luck unless you have a warranty from Dell, but it's worth a try to see what is happening.

  If you reside in the United States, or the Canada and are the registered owner of the computer, with an active warranty, a disk that contains the operating system specific to your system factory installed can be requested HERE.

  Note: Dell may impose a charge for the disc.

  If you do not live in the United States, contact the Support from Dell, which is located in your country.

  Hard drive crashed in my Acer Aspire 3680-2682. I replaced the hard drive with a larger HARD drive and did a clean reinstall of Vista Basic to my CD anytime upgrade. My computer did not come with recovery discs and the recovery partition of course disappeared as well.

  Can I use my same product key that is on my COST base sticker of Vista?

• Local tech installed Windows Vista Home Premium after a hard drive failure. However, my key is Windows Basic. Is the copy, he put on my system illegal?

  Genuine Windows clean install

  Hello

  I had a problem with my laptop Acer Extensa 5230th. It was not started and so I took for Matech computers.  They diagnosed as having a mechanical drive problem.  So they replaced the drive and installed a more recent version of windows vista on.  Note: I haven't bought a new copy of vista family premium, he said he was going to reinstall vista.  It had windows Vista Home Basic, it has installed vista Home premium and said that he had validated by call from windows, but I'm suspicious because I don't think you can use a base of windows key to validate Home premium!  It means that he has put on an illegal version on windows or used the genuine key that came with the laptop.

  In addition, on computers of brands, if this happens again, how is a technician for legally to reinstall the original windows that it came with the new hard drive? How to install windows vista basic on the new hard drive by using the original key to make it genuine? What windows installation disc would you require? or is it easier to just buy a new copy of windows?  I heard that many technicians, prefer to install illegal versions of cracking of windows instead of the customer to buy the new installation of windows.

  Kind regards

  Lewis

  Here are some utilities which displays product key Vista Matech used to activate Windows:

  Please do not post your key on this forum, rather checking to see if it matches the key on your laptop, I(Correction: "if it isn't') it will fall sooner or later"Non-genuine"that your key was for another version of Vista so what was installed.
