• Satellite A200 PSAF3A - upgrade the hard drive - data retention?

  Hello

  I am working on a Toshiba Satellite A200 PSAF3A with a dying 160 GB Fujitsu 5400 RPM SATA drive installed.
  I would like to replace the hard drive 400 GB 5400 RPM SATA drive in a car with a Fujitsu and transfer any existing information on it. I noticed that there is a standard C:\, a System Volume of Toshiba and a HDDRecovery partition on the current drive.

  Can someone tell me if this is possible by using disk imaging software? If so, what are the issues could meet? (eg. new player will only recognize the old C:\ partition size etc.)

  I have already created a backup of the drive image and all 3 partitions (as she made a lot of noise and possibly at its output) using shadow protect Desktop
  Toshiba HDDRecovery & the System Volume partitions don't show in SPDesktop as the affected drive letters, so I don't know if I can restore using this program. Everyone has used successfully to achieve this result?

  pus
  I also have a Ultimate Boot CD for Windows here, and have successfully used the Roadkills Disk Copy with a SATA Adapter USB to copy a C:\ on a laptop in the past. It would be a better approach? I was thinking of using this method because it must copy all 3 partitions, then just use GParted to resize C:\ to fill the rest of the available HARD disk space.

  Thanks in advance :)

• Recovery of Satellite A215 after replacing the hard drive

  I have a Satellite A215 from issues taken to a store, they said the hard drive was going wrong, they extracted the files it could.
  I replaced the concert of 80 hitachi Moose with a new concert of 500 hitachi. When I try to launch the boot disc that came with the computer it says loading windows then goes to a recovery mode and I can't function.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you

  At this point, it would be interesting to know if the same thing would happen with 100 GB HARD drive. Do you get the such or similar HDD somewhere for testing purposes?

  It's that you can't manipulate image recovery and recovery installation procedure. Either it works or not.
  To be honest, I'm a little surprised by your upgrade. I can't imagine that a small car can work with stronger engine 10 times. What do you think?

  Welcome to the forum!

  Go into the BIOS (F1 at startup), set the "compatible" SATA mode (NO AHCI), then press F10 to save and exit, and you should be all set.

  Good luck.

• Question on erasing the HARD drive and partitions

  Hi my name is Fanta and I want to sell my laptop to someone, but I want to avoid impersonation so.
  I'll use an erasure software that will wipe away my whole HARD drive until there is no data.
  This is why I would like to know if there is a recovery on my HARD drive partition ready, and if there is a partition to the HARD drive recovery.

  Wipe tool will wipe the partition on the HARD disk. If he wipe the partition will take the recovery partition and if I need the recovery partition and I don't what will happen?

  Hello

  Generally, you won't find any recovery on the HARD drive partition. The Toshiba Recovery CD should always be supplied with the device. It must be only installed the operating system with the Toshiba drivers and utilities.
  However, if the Erase tool will also clear your partition then all files and data will be deleted.

  The HARD drive will be formatted again during the installation of the OS. If you want to use partitions on the HARD disk, you can create it in addition with Magic8 Partitions. I use this app and it of very great.

• Satellite A300-1mz I use the recovery disks after an upgrade of the HARD drive?

  I'm upgrading the disk hard of my * toshiba a300-1mz *, but I am sure that I can use the * recovery disks * marked the first boots to the l.o. (vista)

  I expect your support...
  Thank you very much...

  Hello

  Yes, you can do it!
  If the HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS, then you should boot from the recovery disk Toshiba in order to reinstall the operating system which has been pre-installed by Toshiba.

• I wonder if Malware can circulate and operate on my computer in the same way as LoJack where it can not be removed by simply erasing the hard drive.

  Hello!
  If I understand it, when the LoJack software is loaded on
  a computer (leave a CD/DVD) somehow or other, a change is made to
  the BIOS chip. In turn, this translates into a situation that even if the
  hard drive is wiped away, the product survives and can still call home.

  Now, if LoJack for this, as I have suggested in the past, why not a
  specifically designed * malware * do exactly the same thing if it was
  planted on a CD/DVD which a user deliberately 'responsible' for an individual
  goal? For example, a CD used to install drivers for a printer, or
  Perhaps, a CD ordered by mail to install Windows XP SP2?

  Serious question.

• Windows XP cannot be installed on Satellite A30 after replacing the hard drive

  Hello
  you have a problem with my satellite A30 - hard drive has been corrupted (due to accumulation of dust on the cpu!) and I replaced it with a 100 GB hard drive.
  Tried the 'recovery cds', but get an error message 'error #1537 file greater than 4 billion number' and recovery has been abandoned halfway after inserting the third cd. The XP Home operating system does not install completely. Any suggestions?
  Thank you very much for your help, has soon

  Hello

  already tried the recovery process more then once? If so, the error appears at the place of installation? You said that you have installed a new hard drive but actually you have formatted the hard drive before you perform a full restore? That would be really helpful, sometimes recovery is suspended because the disk formatted or partitioned before luckily.

  You should really try. One way would be to use the "UBCD4Win' which is a Windows Live CD with really good tools. Format your hard drive with this CD and retry the recovery. Maybe it works...

  Here´s the link to the CD "UBCD4WIn": www.ubcd4win.com ".

• wipedrive tool allows to erase the hard drive

  Hello

  is there problem may occur if I erase all the % of files100 (the system vista, retrieving files... files) from the hard drive by wipedrive tool

  ?? and install windows 7

  I have a compaq presario V6000

  Just use the W7 installation disc to clean the disc. I always recommend what he got rid if Vista entirely. In this way there is no chance of getting errors because you're from "unallocated space" as if you put in a new hard drive of bran. Do the usual and create recovery disks in case you go back to Vista and of course to back up all your personal stuff to be reinstalled later.

  There is also a file on drive "C" called SwSetup which you must save it. Here are your drivers for Vista which will work in W7 and most importantly is the software that will not have the W7 installation disc, such as Microsoft Works, and I'm guessing that Cyberlink DVD suite. It is a very useful file.

  Once, you save all the things I said, then go for the clean installation. You will have less problems in the end.

  Here's a good tutorial on how to do a clean install of Cheryl. There a screen shot too.

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/OperatingSystems/SS/Windows-7-clean-install-part-1.htm

  After installation, the first driver you want to load is your video card driver.

  I took a quick glance and there is no drivers for your model in W7, but like I said your Vista drivers should work fine.

  If this does not work you can always roll back to Vista with your recovery of the disc that I asked you to do.

  Just to answer your question, I wouldn't wipe drive. In fact, it is not clean the disk. Filled it with a bunch of useless information so no one can retrieve what was already on the disk before. Wipe drive is used if you ever decide to take your computer to the recycling depot.

  Who does not resemble a very stable place to put a new OS if you use Wipe drive.

• How to use recovery discs to get rid of the hard drive password?

  I got this calculation and it asks me to put in the built in HARD drive password, I don't have so I bought the recovery disks. I did what he said but did nothing? Help me please!

  The recovery disk will not remove the HARD drive password. Recovery disk will just reinstall Windows with all the drivers and tools (factory settings), but not remove any HARD or BIOS password disk. Of course the Windows password is deleted installation recovery but that s all.

• The recovery disks do not work for the hard drive replaced in my Presario CQ4010F desktop PC

  Hi all

  I have a Compaq Presario CQ4010F Desktop PC (Windows 7 64-bit) in which the hard drive went bad. I bought a new hard drive which is a 1 to, the failed drive was 500 GB. So, I ordered disks system recovery, four in total. The disk labeled 'Use this first!' appear to be running fine, then prompted me to launch the next disc, which I assume is the 1 of 3 system recovery disk. With the computer, always, I inserted the CD 1 of 3 and have waited and watched as nothing has happened. I restarted the PC with the 3 disc 1 again and that will inspire nothing happened. Any help is appreciated in this matter.

  Hello:

  If you can't get the recovery disks to work (don't make sure that the keyboard, mouse and monitor are connected), then you can make your own windows 7 installation DVD and use that to at least get windows 7 installed and your PC back to the operation.

  Here's how.

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

• Command line after erasing the hard drive

  I work for a charity and have inherited a HP Compaq 6735 s in which the HD has been erased. I have no recovery disks. Simple question - how do the command line? The start menu is exactly that, a menu. Can I go out to a command line?

  To run a command, you must first run a code it-such as files on the hard drive or a bootable floppy. There is no file on a hard drive wiped. Start with a Windows or other bootable media diskette.

  You should be able to get the installation of HP media. Give them a call.800 - 334-5144 if you are in the United States or to the CA.

• Satellite 5100 503: change the HARD drive and start questions

  My hard drive in my Satellite 5100 broke down and I want to change it.

  According to various posts in the forum, it is not possible to start the 5100 from a CD when there is a (new) hard drive in the machine. And the only way to change the boot sequence is via Windows - what does more - there is no other way to change the settings of the BIOS within Windows.

  I looked in the manual - I find no mention after pressing F12 C or any other combination to change the boot sequence (of course I tried yet without result). The only thing I found possible is to press ESC + F1 for BIOS settings default _restore_. And turning the power on by pressing on the left of the space bar gives me the opportunity to Flash a new BIOS.

  Is this really so? Because that would mean I'm stuck. And in this case I will just save the money for the new hard drive and throw my laptop... (and probably by another brand next time - but I sincerely hope that is not so much...)

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards
  Thomas

  Nice. ;)
  To my knowledge, it was always possible to boot from the CD. Also, after replacing the HARD drive

• Can satellite A100 - I put the HARD drive with 7200 RPM model?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-044, I would spend my the 120 GB HARD drive to a more large (250 GB or 320 GB).

  A 7200 RPM would work on this subject? It seems Web compatibility sites they show 5400 RPM more, I would like to set up my laptop for recording/mastering so music wants a fast machine, I don't really mind if it consumes more energy...

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you
  Stone

  Hello!

  Of course, you can swap the HARD drive with a model more fast using 7200 RPM. But as you say, it takes a little more energy. The new HARD drive should be a little faster, especially access time should be lower.

  250 GB or 320 GB should be possible; you need a HARD drive with SATA interface.

  I hope I could help a bit.

  Good bye
