Replacing drive in XP Home

I replaced my c drive after a virus.  The new drive will not recognize the slave. It appears in disk management with a dynamic disk with a yellow mark. The right side is empty. When I use command prompt and follow the steps in the help section, it says that dynamic disks are not supported by this system. The only option I have is to convert it to a basic disk (which is what the c drive is listed as). Do that I lose all my data and programs. How do XP recognize the drive that was there before I replaced the c drive?

Hello

To access data on the disk, you must add the disk to your computer's system configuration. To add a disk to your computer's system configuration, import foreign disks (right-click the disk and then click import foreign disks). All existing volumes on the foreign disk become visible and accessible when you import the disk. For instructions describing how to move and import disks, see to move disks to another computer

  • Replaced drive now in lieu of a State, does that mean?

    I had a drive fail in a PV hanging off a PERC 6, and it rebuilt to the hot spare fine.  Now I'm put a new drive in the slot where the failed drive was, went into the RAID BIOS where I assumed it would be in a Ready state and waiting for me to mark it as the new hot spare, but it is in a Replacing state, not Ready, so I cant mark it as the new hot spare. Does this mean its rebuilding from the hot spare to that new drive and then the former hot spare now live drive will go back to being the hot spare again?
    

    Hello rjo80,

    Yes the hot spare is to copy the data on the replacement drive & once it's over then it will go back to being a spare disk.  On the PERC card, there is a feature that recalled the copy that has been activated & with that enabled that is why u who sees in the PERC bios.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • replaced drive perc5i

    Hello

    I recently replaced a drive in a poweredge server 2950 with perc controller 5 / i running RAID-5. There are 4 disks on slot 0 and 2 drives on the connector 1.

    Replaced drive is 0:0:1 and is stuck in the ready state.  I have tried to add as a hot spare but can't seem to get this drive to come online.  While checking this point, disc 1:0:5 is also stuck in a ready state, and not online. (I think that this was replaced by a former employee in the past)

    1. can you someone explain global hot spare vs dedicated emergency and if I want to drive one.  I find this very confused and do not understand the reading that I still find.  One even told me that the replacement drive would only pick up the slack for the connector, to which it was attached?

    2. how to make disk 0:0:1 online and 1:0:5 online?

    3. the disk 0:0:0 is also in a State of predicted failure and I have a disc for this but I would like to firstly with these other two.  I understand, that it is unlikely to have two failed disks at the same time, but we are dealing with 2006 readers

    Any help would be appreciated.  I apologize in advance for any terminology that I hacked upward and also for my ignorance on this subject.

    1.

    Dedicated hot spare: A disk that is ready to take the place of a disk that fails - any disk that is part of the table that is assigned the rescue. If you have a RAID 1 and RAID 5 3x1TB 2x1To, you can assign the emergency to protect ONLY the RAID 5, so if a RAID 1 drive fails, it will not rebuild, but if a disk in the RAID 5 fails, it will rebuild in who has no place to drive.

    World Relief: A disk that is ready to take the place of any disk that fails - a disk that is part of a table. In the scenario above, you can assign the disk as a global hot, then regardless of what table failed disk belongs, the hot spare will rebuild in its place.

    A hot spare must be at least as large as the disk, it must replace, and a hot spare must be the same type of disk (SATA/SAS) than the player he must replace.

    This is not true.

    2.

    It depends on your configuration. Obviously you are not running just a single RAID 5, or with two drives in the State LOAN, your data table / would be gone. So, we need to know exactly the configuration that you are running.

    3.

    Yes, you should start with the other two, with fully redundant table and fail in good health before the disc pred. You will need to FORCE it offline before replacing... WHEN you are ready to do so.

  • Replace drive HARD laptop HP bf69WM 2000

    Hello

    I recently acquired the dead laptop HP 2000 model bf69WM with a hard drive (error in the log of BIOS: 03F0). I studied a replacement and found gaps in the Service Guide. He says that the supported drive has an RPM of 5400 in section 7200 in another. The drive 5400 RPM is 9.5 mm. The 7200 disk is 7mm. The HARD death drive is a Toshiba 320 GB model MQ01ABD032.

    If I replace with another Toshiba 5400 RPM, 9.5 mm drive all should be well, (I assume apples to apples). If I replace it with the 7200 RPM drive 7 mm: has) the highest ROTATION speed will cause more heat and perhaps premature? (b) will it be should I buy another drive Assembly to support the drive of 7 mm?

    I'm looking to a Western Digital drive. In addition, this particular model does not support larger capacity drives or SSD?

    Thanks in advance for any information.

    Is a license for your laptop to Windows 7 or Windows 8? Can't help much with Windows 8, but if you have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit here is a link to an .iso that is a legal copy of the operating system that you are naked.

    This will work only if your laptop came with Windows 7 installed. If it is Windows 8, you will have recovery media order of HP.

  • Could not restore Windows 7 for replacement drive

    HP Pavilion 6267c running Windows 7 64 bit would not start.  Diagnostic said failed to find the startup disk.  Replace 750 GB drive with Seagate Barracuda 1 TB drive.  A ran disk original restoration and after initial installation, but I have the following message:

    Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on a hardware on this computer.

    Retries of installation with the same results.

    any help is appreciated.

    Hello

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the activation code on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery process, it is a job before right around if you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE your PC came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to version exact commercial that you would need.

    If you don't have access to a retail disk, you can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA to demand and when the installation is complete use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load delivered normally with OEM installations.

  • 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

    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.

  • Windows Vista Vista replacement drive?

    Several years ago, I bought a laptop Sony with Windows Vista preinstalled.  I've then upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate when it came out.  I was recently infected by a virus that froze my computer and I had to wipe the hard drive but have no disk Vista replacement.  How can I get these?

    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

  • I customized my ff and edited a few scratches here and there, but after each reboot ff replaces! and my home/arrow/refresh page buttons are really becomeugly

    Hello

    I use FF for years, but now it is starting to disappoint me! I adapted my FF and added some scratches here and there, and normally, everything else as I want/set but... until a few days... every time I restart FF it replaces some scratches left to right and vice versa! Very annoying!

    Another problem is that my "home/arrow page (rear) / refresh" buttons have become so ugly and small and no I don't thick 'buttons' in the options.

    I don't really know what is the problem, but now it is starting to be very boring!

    Here's a printscreen BEFORE FF it's ruin: look how beautiful the buttons are and other things!

    [img] http://I3.lulzimg.com/1919c1d2a9.jpg line

    And here are FF ugly with ugly buttons and in the good uppercorner strips left the adblockplus should be on the right, but it is replaced by its me after that I restarted FF each time!

    I admit that when I saw that it replaces the scratches I UN-and/reinstalled FF and after that the buttons becomes too ugly....
