• Replace HARD drive under warranty?

  This request is on your laptop L655 - 17H.

  I think my hard drive might start to fail, so I wonder if Toshiba it will replace, even if it is currently in a State of 'working '. I recently have slow downs and several boots failed, but this issue seems to have stabilized itself for now (the hard drive seems to have reconfigured the bad sectors). From my experience, once sector remapping starts to happen, things tend to come down quite quickly from there. Here are the S.M.A.R.T. data off the drive.

  Given that the threshold for sectors reassigned on this player is 36 (until he comes in and mark it as a failed disk) and 13 of them have been used in such a life short (less than 300 hours), I think the HARD drive in this book can be considered to be defective.

  Would Toshiba share my view and replace the drive under warranty, or what I should expect some sort of catastrophic failure before going through the motions?

  As a side note, Toshiba does not seem to be recognizing the serial number of this laptop, which is strange.

  Thanks a lot for any input,

  Gareth

  What you read here on this forum are of different opinions, but what you need is the real answer, and you can get it from Toshiba service only guys.
  They can check your HARD drive and replace it if necessary.

  Make a call, explain the situation and hear what they think of this.

  What you need to do every day is the backup of data.

• Pavilion 15z-ab100: replacement hard drive under warranty outside the country of purchase

  Hey everybody. I bought a laptop HP the HP online store in the United States in November 2015. I am currently in India and my laptop hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced. My laptop warranty is valid outside the country of purchase (USA)?

  Can I get the hard drive replaced under warranty in India, even if I bought the laptop in the United States? I read somewhere that the replacement of equipment under warranty can be done in the country of purchase. Is this true?

• Replacing hard drive and Windows 7 has been installed now can not activate

  Original title: WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE
  
  Had to replace the hard drive on my desktop. A Windows Vista. Came back with Windows 7 Ultimate installed. Now I can't turn it on. As of just put Windows Vista on.

  Hello

  Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista. You cannot use the recovery Partition method because it should be replaced by the installation of Windows 7...

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Reinstall the Vista Ultimate upgrade after replacing hard drive - remove Windows PowerShell

  My HDD recently crashed and the manufacturer (Dell) gave me a new one with the software and systems II had orginially purchased pre-installed on the drive.  In this case, I had Vista Home Premium installed.  I got about a year ago, bought and upgraded to Vista Ultimate and I'm now trying to reinstall (I have it on DVD).  When I do, I get a message that I must remove Windows PowerShell before upgrade.  I can't find PowerShell in the application removal utility, even if I can find it when I search in the start menu.

  Any thoughts on how to deal with this?

  In addition, since the beginning of this thread, I found the following instructions in another thread:

  How to uninstall Windows PowerShell

  To uninstall Windows PowerShell 1.0 in Windows Vista, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, in the Search box, type appwiz.cpl and press ENTER.
  2. In the tasks list, click View Installed Updates.
  3. In the list to uninstall an update , right-click right of Windows PowerShell (TM) 1.0 (KB928439), click on uninstall and follow the instructions to remove Windows PowerShell 1.0.

  But, I do not see Windows PowerShell (TM) 1.0 (KB928439) in the generated list (although there are many, many others).  I found three programs of powershell appears when I put in the search box of start powershell.  Can I just delete them?

  Thank you.

  Try download Revo http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/revo-uninstaller/revouninstaller.html to uninstall all the programs of PowerShell.  I hope that you will find the main program so it can be uninstalled.

  If that doesn't work, uninstall each update of PowerShell that you find.  Also, check the master list of program to see if you can find.  A when done, reboot and start the installation again and see if you come up against the same error.  If so, we may have to try another way to get rid of it - but we will cross that bridge if we come to it.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• 1260 US G7: replacement hard drive HP g7 1260us with Home Premium Windows 7 (64-bit) now lost for a start to the top

  Received under member declaration of support in his last paragraph, but only gives not the link still since I wasn't not answer you immediately... does anyone have this link noted below for me to go and burn a DVD.

  (I thought when I downloaded my files on a USB flash drive before you recover he would have windows 7 on it, but when I tried the new replacement hard drive I get: no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.)  When I read the files on the USB stick on another computer, it reads:

  In any event, at least, we can connect you to an official Microsoft Windows 7 disc download, which you can use to put Windows 7 on the computer and with some drivers from this site, we can get you going again. You'll need another computer with internet access and a DVD burner or another flash drive.

  The key must rely on the label inside the battery bay or your laptop.

  I think that what you did was copy the program to restore the laptop computer files. Actually let Recovery Manager do the recovery media by running the Recovery Manager program.

• Cannot install Windows 8 on the replacement hard drive

  I got the replacement from Dell hard drive which he said would come with Windows 8 and pre-installed drivers. Well, I installed the hard drive and he said no. OS can be found. I didn't have a chance to make my own backup discs, but Dell sent a CD Windows 8 recovery media with the laptop and now with the replacement hard drive.

  When you try to install Windows 8 on the new hard drive, I get to the part where it tells me to choose a partition to install Windows 8 on and none of them will not let me. There are 5 to choose from and I don't know what to do to get past this. The largest partition either 5A about 934 GB of space left out of 1 TB, but as I said I can't choose it or one of the other ones for the installation.

  You just have to click on next, in any case, despite the message?  Otherwise:

  Start on the DVD of Windows 8, instead of install now, click repair your computer, Advanced Options, invites ... when it opens, type the following:

  DiskPart
  Select disk 0
  clean

  Then, try to install.

  The above will remove all the data partition and disk, allowing you to do a clean install on an empty drive (these scores are not required, and Windows will create its own partitions (two) he needs to install and run).

• Replace hard drive, no readable product key; How to reinstall Windows 7?

  I bought a Dell laptop with Windows 7: Home Premium pre-installed a year and half ago.  The hard drive just completely crushed, and I just got a replacement hard drive for it.  The computer did not include a recovery disk, and the product key on the bottom sticker has worn to the point of being unreadable.  How can I reinstall Windows 7 for the new hard drive?

  You need to contact DELL technical support about obtaining a replacement product key because they are responsible for the license that is preloaded on your computer.

• 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.

• 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.
