• Satellite L300D-10 q recovery DVD Can be used on the replacement hard drive?

  Hello

  I was wondering if the DVD Recovery allows to install Vista on a replacement hard drive? The original hard drive is too small at 160 GB contain all the files that I use the virtual operating system image. The disk hard 500 GB of replacement must be large enough for that.

  The reason why I need to Vista, it's that the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu 8.04.1 and 8.10, cause the fan to run at full speed all the time which is very annoying. So for the moment I can only use Linux in a virtual machine.

  I intend to stay with Toshiba, though, as my two latest portable Toshiba Satellite a PII and a PIII still work today, and both have had Linux on them.

  Now, back to my story, I intend to remove the existing laptop, hard drive use DVD recovery to install to external USB 500 GB disk, replace the existing hard drive in starting up the laptop from the USB and copy my data overall. Before you reformat the old drive as external storage, I will replace in the laptop with 500 GB drive and the test so I can boot from the new drive.

  Key question will be the change of equipment, i.e. the new hard disk of 500 GB prevent Vista to install or activate?

  Thank you very much

  Vista itself can handle huge HARD drive sizes, but the question is: the recovery disc will be happy with 500 GB? The laptop will recognize 500 GB?

  I think it will work very well, because the new laptops are released with 320 HARD drive. 500 GB is not far.

  Its a few trial and error unless anyone here has tested a disc 500 GB HARD themselves.

• Replacement hard drive for Portege P2010 - part number required

  Can someone tell me what is the part number for a replacement hard drive for Portege P2010 is? It has the latest version of the BIOS installed, if the capacity of the HARD disk can be greater than the original 30gig?

  Thank you

  Martin

  Hello Martin

  Unfortunately I was found no specific information. If I'm right, this unit needs 1.9 HDD and I think it can be much more expensive as 2.5 standard.

  Check it please this page http://www.laptopbits.co.uk/Database_files/Toshiba_Portege_2000_and_2010_series_spares.htm
  You will find a few pieces of upgrade for your device.

  Good bye

• 20-d113w want to: replacement hard drive

  Hi, I looked around the Board for instructions on replacing hard drive. I intend to replace the original sata drive 1 TB with a seagate 1 TB sata3 drive. I know this is probably a stupid question, but just installing the new drive and run the recovery software, or something must be done again disc before I run the software. Thanks for any help you can give

  If you reinstall from the recovery discs set, it will not make a difference.  If you use a cloning software, it may depend on the package.  If you need to reinstall using a Windows disk, it should be able to themselves deploy by asking the user questions.

• 15 - r174ca: replacement hard drive

  Hey guys, I'm not good with this part pick up stuff so I hope you can help out me. I got this laptop from my cousin, so I'm not completely sure of what I am working with

  My hard drive failed on my laptop:

  http://www.BestBuy.ca/en-CA/product/Hewlett-Packard-HP-15-6-laptop-stone-silver-Intel-Core-i5-4210u-...

  I'm not entirely sure which hard drive to replace it with so any info would be helpful. The only thing I'm certain of is the 5400 RPM.

  Also, if someone could recommend some items online / in-store (Canada), which are at a good price for their performance features, it would be appreciated

  Thanks in advance

  You must understand that the replacement hard drive you must remove the entire lid and jeopardizes security:

  Your repair manuals

  See pages 53-59.

  As long as you do successfully the replacement, HP will honor still guarantee, however. Just be careful in here.

  You can use any 2.5 inches wide and 9.5 or 7 mm thick hard SATA or SSD.

  the 5400 RPM drives are a significant bottleneck, so in my mind you want to get at least a 7200 RPM hard drive and you really want to get a SSD drive if the budget allows.

• Dv6-7202se replacement HARD drive

  Hi, I want to buy a replacement for my DV6-7202se HARD drive. originally, I have a 1 TB running at 5400 RPM SATA HARD drive. I am running Windows 8.1.

  My laptop is now out of its original 1 year warranty.

  (1) is it possible for me to go to a larger, faster HARD drive?

  (2) my laptop was purchased in the UNITED Arab Emirates. Where can I find the replacement HARD drive here?

  (3) my current HARD drive has a number of specific product? The official site of HP can't give me that and continues to throw messages 'no information found.

  (4) where will I get the recovery disks to reinstall the operating system on it? He came originally with Windows 8, I upgraded to 8.1.

  Thank you!

  You can certainly get a faster drive, but I think that the biggest readers available now 1.5 TB laptop and they all work at 5400 RPM. Here is your Service Manual:

  Manual

  One option you have is to install an accelerator reader WSSD/mSATA cache to speed up the slower drive. The problem on your model, it is very difficult to get to the slot of the WSSD. It is not in the Bay of accessible customer service.

  To speed up the system even more, you can install an SSD expand instead of the ordinary reader, but the largest SSD drive is a 1 to.

  Where you can get all this material in the UAE, I have no idea. I guess you can get things shipped from Europe, Asia and the United States

  In regards to the operating system, unless it does not turn right you can clone (copy bit for little) the old drive and transfer the image to the new, or we can get you a link to download an image of disk for Windows 8, which can be installed on any hard drive. The License Code is embedded in the BIOS of your motherboard, so you just need to install it and Windows will activate automatically.

  Post back if one of these options looks interesting and we can assist in its application.

• Replacement hard drive after the failure of the HD, restore disc problem

  
  

  The replacement hard drive should be the same capacity as the original hard drive.

  If your goal is to use a SSD, then you will need to migrate the operating system with a working operating system software cloning.

  Samsung, Corsair and other manufacturers sell kits of migration with usb connectors SATA that allow the cloning process work perfectly from a hard disk inherited a smaller SSD.

• 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.

• I'm unable to open Adobe Illustrator on my newly replaced hard drive in MacBook Pro.

  I am unable to open Adobe Illustrator on my newly replaced hard drive in MacBook Pro. I get "Error 16". I get a window that says: error in Configuration please uninstall and reinstall the product.  If this problem persists, please contact Adobe technical support help and mention the error code displayed at the bottom of this screen.  Error: 16 http://www.adobe.com/support/

  If you tried to transfer the software from one drive to another while it is probably the cause of the problem.  Adobe software must be installed using installation files.

• I need to reinstall acrobat after having my hard drive erased... does anyone know how to do this?

  I recently had to have the hard drive erased on my computer and have need to reinstall acrobat... can someone help me?

  Hi abderdeen1960,

  If you have purchased Acrobat via the Adobe Store, you should be able to connect to your account on www.adobe.com and find your serial number and a link to download your software again.

  The Acrobat user license allows you to activate Acrobat on two computers, so if you have installed/enabled on the second computer, you should disable a copy before enabling fixed hard disk in place. (If necessary, you can call Contact Customer Care to deactivate your installation disk wiped clean).

  Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

  Best,

  Sara

• A100 replacement hard drive

  I saw the other posts on this but no definitive answer.
  My HARD drive is dying and needs to be replaced. I see the posotion from the LHS is under the Palm drive and there seems to be one removable flap - other posts say there is only one screw to remove, but there is no visible screws under the machine.

  I've changed hard disks on other Toshibas with absolutetly no problem - someone at - it ideas?

  Hello

  Replace HARD drive on this laptop is not simply the procedure. I'm not 100% sure, but the entire Palm rest/Touchpad should be removed first. HARD drive cover is fixed with a screw, but you'll see him only if the Palm is deleted.

  When this screw is removed, hold the HARD drive tab and pull the HARD drive bracket. Next step is to detach the HARD drive from the HARD drive support.
  The device is quite new and first of all, check if the warranty is still valid.
