• 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.

• 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.

• 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

• So-called lack of cables but replaced hard drive

  Recently, I bought my Macbook Pro 2012 at an apple store because whenever I tried to start, it would show a gray screen with a folder that had an exclamation mark. My AppleCare expired so I expected to pay for everything that needed to be replaced. An employee at the Genius bar ran a test diagnoses and big red accommodations that says 'DEFAULT' appeared. He told me that my hard drive was a failure and should probably be replaced. It would cost $ 160, and all my data on the hard drive will have probably disappeared. I accepted reluctantly, because I need my laptop for work.

  Today, I went to pick up my laptop in a hurry and paid with my credit card, thinking that they did replace my hard drive. However, once I got home, I read the summary of repair of product they gave me and it seems that they only replaced the "ASSY BEFORE FLEX HDD BRKT J30" and the symptom was the defective cables. All my work earlier and data is always on the macbook, and it seems that they have not replaced my hard drive, but the cables. A quick Internet search shows that the only costs of cable around 50-60 dollars of switching. Am I missing something? Why me is billed another $160 for some cables and not a hard drive?

  We are not the Genius Bar.  To be sure you can ask them about possible additional labor costs, including the necessary removal and reinstallation of the original HD.  We are users could only guess at the exact reason.

• Satellite C870 - 1 K 1 and replacing hard drive

  Hello

  I would like to replace the hard drive of wonderful this notebook with a hard disk of 500 GB 750.
  How should I proceed with the Windows installed on the original hard drive, the migration to the new.
  I do not have a CD ROM of Windows 8, was not included when I bought the laptop

  Thanks for your help and suggestions...
  Greetings

  If you use your laptop with an original operating system preinstalled, you can create recovery media using pre-installed recovery media creator tool. After replacing HARD drive, you can use this media and reinstall the original recovery image.

  After that your laptop will again have to factory settings.

• Replacement HARD drive & optical drive to Satellite A45-S1202

  Can someone point me to a reader of alternative alternatives other than the CMS (100-250 GB) 5400 RPM 2.5 PATA laptop universal Hard Drives?

  Can I buy from another manufacturer... If so, what readers are recommended?
  I would like more that what came with this particular computer (60 GB), but the price of replacement of Toshiba seems quite steep.

  In addition, the A45-S1202 came with a DVD player / CD - RW. drive.

  Does anyone know of a replacement drive DVDrw/CDrw (DVD burner) that works with this model?

  Any & all help is greatly appreciated!

  Hello!

  You can buy a larger HARD drive, it's not a problem.
  Satellite A45 unknown to me but I think the bigger HARD disk should be 120 GB because the laptop has an IDE interface and the standard ATA-5 supports only the LBA 28 bits, which means that more than 120 GB hard drives will not recognized.
  So you need a 2.5 HARD disk and 120 GB max.

  I think you also to exchange the drive for a DVD burner, but if you want a new contact a local ASP. They can offer these discs.

  Good bye

• Replacing hard drive with a smaller

  I'm fixing a friends G62 (G62-B27SA to be exact).

  It keeps failing hard drive tests so I'll replace the drive and restore the system with the recovery CD

  The current drive is a 500 GB WD Scorpio Blue.

  My question is - the recovery refuses to fill out if I replace the drive with:

  a / a 320GB Scorpio blue

  b / a 500 GB Toshiba.

  I'm not sure how limited the system of specific components.

  Hello:

  You can almost count on the fact that the recovery discs do not work on a hard drive smaller than that which was originally installed.

  I do not think that the brand of hard drive will also count as long as the size is not less than the original one.

  If you can still read all 25 characters of the product key of W7 on the Microsoft sticker on the bottom of the PC, and the recovery disks do not work, simply do your own installation of W7 media and allows to install W7 on any hard drive size/brand you want.

  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.

• 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.

• Preload replacement hard drive?

  My University is authorized to make repairs, Lenovo ThinkPad, so I dropped just turned off my laptop (T61) to see if the hard drive is a failure. They said that they could drive reimage hard if that's what needs replaced, but I was just wondering:

  The hard drive will have all that came preloaded with it in the first place?

  I can't remember if there are disks in the box or not (and they're back home - while I'm in College).

  Someone else was getting a hard drive replaced?

  Thank you

  If this is the case, simply call Lenovo if your machine is under warranty and deal directly with them. Your bad drive will be replaced by a new, re-created.

  I hope this helps.

• 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.
