Replace drive HARD primary - (FAT partition)?

I have grown too large for the 80 GB hard drive in my 4500 size 6-year-old plan to replace it with a 160 GB IDE drive.  I intend to temporarily install the new drive as a slave, Ghost allows you to make a copy of the first on the second, then swap autour riders to do the second drive (160 GB) drive and cables.  The original drive Dell has a 31 MB FAT partition and the rest is NTFS.  How important is that FAT partition?  Do I need?  Do you know Ghost if he will duplicate automatically or do I need to create it myself before doing the copy?

Thank you.

  • Replace drive hard ze4900 with disk 5400 RPM?

    I am trying to replace the HARD drive on a ze4904US Pavilion Notebook, Phoenix BIOS F.15...  The original drive is a 40 GB 4200 RPM ATA drive.  I found a 5400 RPM 40 GB ATA HDD, rider that he is a slave, installed, but it is not editing as C:.  This laptop does support the 5400 RPM drives?  Should he be attached as master or slave?

    I can boot from the CD of the OS, which displays the C:\ > and complains that the path is bad.  Try to install Windows XP immediately fails with an IO error.

    If I start the recovery console, WFP, I can see the partition (\device\harddisk0\partition1), but it is not a drive letter assigned.

    If I drop in the BIOS, run the HARD drive test, it displays 'Diagnostics not supported' and 'Device No. IDE'

    The drive 5400 RPM came a Win Vista laptop and was initially cavalier as master.  If I leave it set as master boot, a CD of SystemSuite, he gripes 2-4 e/s, (ignored) errors, takes about 10 minutes to pass the time-outs of the IO error, but finally sees the old partition on Win Vista.  So I know that the equipment is in place OK.  Trying to do a trivial co-operation (volume set name) fails.

    I would like to reformat the drive and start with a file system clean, but format C:/FS: NTFS, fails with "drive not valid or not drive."

    I think I can build a bootable CD to update to e.16, the HP BIOS later.  That would support the drive 5400 RPM?

    Fixed! Found a Hitachi Travelstar 60 GB HDD, 7200 RPM, IDE interface, was attached to CSEL, inserted in the HP Pavilion ze4904us, put under tension and it worked like a charm.  The car was seen by the BIOS/advanced/HDD/Diag and it test very well, at least through quick check of phase 1, then I released on bail.  Under BIOS/Palestinian territories occupied? / BootOrder the drive is detected correctly (displays the correct model ID).  Installed WinXP and on my way.

  • S1620CDS: replace drive HARD 4 GB by a 20 GB

    Hi all

    How to replace the HARD drive? I heard that it's located below the keyboard. HOW can I remove the keyboard, then?
    Thank you year hlp.

    [email protected]

    Hello

    You are right. The HARD drive is replaced under the keyboard.

    If you want to remove the keyboard to on this way:
    1 remove the cover of the band. The status indicator panel aims to snap
    in place. Please do not use excessive force to remove or replace. You can't lose this part of both sides.
    2. when the cover of the band is removed, remove the four screws now the keyboard in place
    3 lift the keyboard

    If I remember just the HARD drive fixed with two screws.

    Good luck!

  • replace drive hard kaput?

    When my computer was unable to reboot and chkdsk and the following disk repair utility would not work, I paid to have the laptop looked at by a pro. It turns out that the HARD drive has failed. So the question is: can I replace the drive hard when all I have to work with are the recovery disks that I made when the computer is new? (Door NV57H) The OEM of Windows 7 will be on these discs, which allows installation pretty simple hard drive and recovery? Can I go with a SSD? As a smart enough DYIer with some knowledge of computers, but limited reparations experience can handle such a task?

    SSD become cheaper these days for sure

    They may fail, as any player, as you've seen personally.

    System images are the best way to retrieve install lost hdd or ssd, but they must be on other devices / hdd before they are viable

    But Yes if the recovery cd creation took place all you have to do is install a new drive and the boot CD #1

    Follow the prompts.

  • Replace drive hard hp pavilion dm3 after failure of hard drive test.

    All,

    I have a HP Pavilion Dm3. Windows 8 Beta. My error messages included: drive hard Test failed. Hard disk 1 (303) fast. Hard drive 1 full (395). Most recent upload has itunes. From what I see I need to replace my hard drive.

    My question is this; is there a manual or a guide on how to, 1. physically, replace the hard drive and 2. record information that may exist on my hard drive crashed? Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello:

    There are many models of dm3.

    I pulled a repair of the dm3-2000 series. I hope that this layout is the same.

    Read Chapter 4 of the procedure on the removal and replacement of the hard disk. Do not throw the old hard drive.

    You will need to the caddy, the connector and screw to transfer to the new.

    http://bizsupport1.Austin.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c01893277/c01893277.PDF

    Before you remove the hard drive, you can see if you can copy your files on a USB portable hard drive by downloading, burn it to a CD (using the ISO burning method) and make a the Kapersky rescue CD bootable CD. This will allow you to see the folders on your C:\ drive using the method of the graphical interface of the program execution.

    Then you can copy and paste your files on your portable hard drive.

    If the rescue CD can not see your hard drive, there's probably nothing you can do anything to the drive for recovery.

  • Satellite L850 - how to replace a HARD disk recovery partition?

    Hello.

    Toshiba laptop Satellite L850. PSKDGA-02Y012. The original HARD drive has failed in his colleagues even mobile, so we replaced the two HARD drive after you have created a recovery USB. When used to restore the operating system to original status of OOB.
    That has worked and portable runs much, but now I want to BACK the recovery partition (now only on the USB I think) for the new HARD drive.

    Simple to shrink the disk HARD C: (partition 2) on the HARD disk, but then how to transfer twhats on the USB (USB recovery stick) back on the HARD drive?

    Thanks for any help.

    Karim...

    Hello karim

    When you buy the notebook you will get it with preinstalled operating system (recovery image). Original recovery image is saved on the HARD disk on the recovery partition.
    Each owner of the laptop has option to make the backup recovery image and create recovery media. It could be the DVD or USB support. You can do this by using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool.
    This tool will create bootable recovery media that can be used for the installation of original image recovery if there is problem with the installation of image disk HARD recovery or when the drive is defective and must be replaced.

    Where the HARD drive is faulty and should be replaced or the owner of the laptop to upgrade HARD drive, you can install original image created using recovery recovery media (USB). After installing recovery image, you will have the same situation as for the first boot after the purchase of the laptop. With other words notebook will have factory settings again.

    In this case original recovery image is already copied onto the new HARD drive and you will also be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery. There is therefore no reason to copy a recovery on HARD drive media.
    Please note: installation of HARD drive recovery works with the factory only settings.

    If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

    Good luck.

  • Replace drive HARD system with Samsung EVO SSD 1 TB of HP ENVY 17 - j005tx laptop computer

    Hi all

    Wanting just a few tips on how to migrate and replace the system drive without having to reinstall everything again.

    The Migration of Samsung tool work?  When I check my HDD in the laptop there 5 partitions...

    The HARD drive, I would like to replace a the following Partitions:

    400 MB (Recover Parition)

    260MO (EFI Partition)

    904 GB (drive c :) - NTFS)

    350 MB (recover Partition)

    25.5 GB (drive D: Recover - NTFS drive)

    According to the Samsung User Guide data Migration tool, he mentions the following:

    http://www.Samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/MZ-7TE1T0BW

    6 recovery OEM partitions, at the plant by computer makers, cannot be replicated. However, if the PC is manufactured by Samsung and SRS (Samsung Recovery Solution) 5 or 6 is installed, the recovery partition is automatically cloned. (Not supported in versions prior to SRS 5)

    How can I migrate all recovery OEM as well as partitions C: and D: partitions?

    Thanks in advance

    Jim

    Laptop HP ENVY 17-j005tx, HP ENVY 27 - k001a, HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 G2020T, HP MediaSmart EX495 Server tilt, HP MediaVault 2020, HP ENVY 120 AiO Printer

    If you burn the recovery DVD, you don't need the recovery partition... they hold the same data. I try the clone on the new drive and see if it works. If it isn't then you still have the original drive and nothing has been lost. Reported problems with the migration of Samsung software. Personally, I use Acronis True Image Home for cloning, and it is not.

  • Laptop HP 15 (r063tu): would replace drive HARD regular with SSD boost speed & performance significantly on my HP 15 laptop?

    Hello

    Regular HGST (Hitachi) hard drive failed on my HP 15 laptop and I chose to replace it with a spare Seagate Momentus 500 GB HDD (because of the emergency). I read in some other posts on this forum that SSDs increase startup speed and general performance much more conventional hard drives. In addition, seems SSD uses less power and generates less heat, which is optimal for laptop computers. Although SSDS are still quite expensive compared to regular hard drives (a regular 500 Gb portable HDD costs about Rs. 3500, or about $50), all in an SSD with a capacity of 240 GB Samsung / available on Amazon.in Kingston costs about Rs. 5000 (about $70). Thus, a half of the capacity of a normal HARD drive SSD hard drive costs still much more

    Would consider to replace my current HARD drive with an SSD if it's worth the investment (I intend to use this laptop for more than two years).

    Also, please confirm if my model supports SSDS, as he has probably that one Bay to hold an SSD or a normal HARD drive. Would be useful you can offer a good/model mark of SSDS as well. Thank you very much.

    See you soon!

    I support the opinion of Hüffer about SSDS and laptops.

    I replaced the spinner in my laptop HP 2011 with an SSD and it's like having a new machine.  It starts instantly and runs a lot faster, more I don't have to worry about the rotation drive going bad.

    An SSD is the best investment to improve the performance of your laptop.

    Good luck

  • Need to replace drive HARD for Satellite 2450

    My hard drive is about to die and I can't find a replacement/Exchange. Does anyone know how? References to this topic are 000601002 TOSHIBA 03152 S. Toshiba support said they dropped the product.

    Hello

    You n t need to buy especially this HARD drive device. You can buy a new one that supports the same old properties HDD Splendido.

    To my knowledge the 2450 Sat supports an enhanced IDE (ATA-5) interface. In this case, you can buy the HDD IDE.

    Please have a look also to the size of the HARD drive sometimes the BIOS could not recognize the HARD drive because of the limitation of the size.

    What size did you use? 40 GB? In my eyes, you can use a HARD drive between 20 and 60 GB.

    Hello

    The old HDD on your machine is a little thicker, but at least 4 screws I do not think that new SSD will circulate in the case. I have actually put new SSD in one of my laptop (not HP) and no problem, BUT I don't move this laptop. If so, blue tac can help.
