• EliteBook 8640p does not start after replacing hard drive with a 128 GB crucial disc M4

  Hi all

  This morning I was not in box a new Elitebook 8640 p and instantly replaced the hard drive with a new 128 GB crucial disc M4.

  Machine installation installation clean Windows, restarted etc. I then installed the drivers, restarted etc. Have a windows index score and I was immediately impressed by the 7.9, but...

  The laptop won't start. Right after that the first portable screens it just stops at a black screen where it should show the logo "windows". I put the original hard drive in and the machine starts very well and I put the M4 in my office and it begins to start.

  It seems so the reader is fine and the laptop is fine, but the whole... Nope.

  Any suggestions?  (I want to send them both back after spending this money a lot of things should work like clockwork)

  Solution: It seems that Crucial screwed up again

• Re: Satellite P300 - replacement HARD drive with no recovery discs

  Hi all

  I came to the conclusion that my HARD drive has failed. (PXE-E61error) now seeks to replace.

  Unfortunately I didn't create a recovery CD, and even if I did, my windows (label) key is unreadable.

  He comes, if I replace the HARD drive, to buy a new copy of windows, can I simply start from the CD, install windows on the new HARD disk, and then install the drivers from the Web from Toshiba site or what I need to buy recovery CD?

  Model - PSPCCA-05Y01Y

  I had to spend an hour or so scouring Google and the forum, but to no avail.

  Thanking you in advance for your help.

  Yes, you can do it. Install the version of Windows. All the drivers, tools and utilities that you can download from the Toshiba support page - http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/download

  This machine has been delivered with Vista, but I recommend you to install Win7. It works perfectly and very stable on this machine.

• Replace hard drive with any of the recovery discs...

  I have a Dell inspiron I5 3521 with widows 8.0. My hard drive has failed recently, and I stupidly did not have any backups previously. I tried to make one when I realized my hard drive was damaged, but I think the hard drive froze in the middle to catch her on the back. So I ordered a new hard drive online half. The original was 500GBP. New is 250. Now under the protection of Dell and restoring it freezes at 11 percent any action I take is to say system reset/factory reset to factory condition. Out of options. Out of my mind. Help, please. Friendly firs DIY attempt, geek team wanted $ 300 of ish to do this. Even with the problems I have, I still think it's a feature.

  How to get a CD restore partition?

  xxxChrispyxxx

  Dell does not provide a "recovery partition CD", they send only DVDs reinstallation of the operating system that was installed at the factory.

  If you are a resident of the United States and are the registered owner of the computer, a disk that contains the operating system specific to your system factory installed can be requested HERE.

  Note: Dell will charge for the disc, if there is no warranty

  If you do not live in the United States, contact the Dell Technical Support which is in your country.

• Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD? or would it be too expensive?

  Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD?

  or would it be too expensive?

  Yes.  There are several alternatives.  I found a way relatively inexpensive, using a map of mSATA (very small SSD) and an adapter to connect it to the connector IDE 44 pin internal of my PowerBook.  It works very well.  Rather than repeat what I posted previously, you can watch these two topics (which also has good info, other users)

  Re: This win to install a SSD drive in a PowerBook G4?

  Re: SSDS  (my post is halfway - "this is how I did with my trusty Pismo...) »)

  FYI - I have used the adapter is even cheaper now

• Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Nowsome keys on the keyboard no longer works.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

  Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Now some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

  Probably nothing, it's probably a fluke. Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM by iMac Intel SCM and reset the PRAM. If this does not work, try a USB keyboard to test, if it works then your original keyboard has failed and must be replaced.

• laptop HP pavilion touch 14: replaced defective hard drive with pre installed OS on new HDD - device not found Boot (3F0)

  Hey guys,.

  I have a pc hp pavilion touch laptop 14, which has been having a defective hard disk that the operating system was not start and the system test indicated that the hard drive contained errors.
  
  I replaced the hard drive with a new one and before installing the hard drive I formatted with a win installation 8.1. I thought the laptop would just start normally to win8, but gave me a screen saying:

  boot device not found please install an operating system on drive hard drive (3f0)

  The hard drive is new and I did not not how its gives me this error!

  In addition, this laptop does not seem to boot from a cd to format!

  Any ideas?
  
  Thank you
  Karl

  Hey BHK6,

  I found out what was wrong! It was so simple!

  I just need to make the boot inherited from the bios, like that he started directly from the hard drive and does not need of any software pre installed HP to start.

  Thanks for your help anyway

• Re: Tecra A9 - 11M - replace the HARD drive with a larger

  I have a Tecra A9 - 11 M with Windows XP Professional installed. I would like to replace the hard drive with a larger drive and install Windows 7 Professional.

  Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?

  Difficulties to install Windows 7 on this model?

  Hey,.

  > Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?
  I assume you mean 500 GB and not 500MB, right? ;)

  Well, the Tecra A9 already supports SATA interface and there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface, so you can install a 500 GB HARD drive or more (750 GB, etc.). Just make sure that it s 2.5 SATA HDD.

  You can choose each brand of HARD drive because each model will not work. You can buy a Toshiba HDD, Western Digital HARD drive or another. No problem ;)

• Qosmio X 500 - 10W - can I replace the HARD drive with another?

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio X 500 - 10W with two drive HARD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500 GB 5400 RPM 8 MB? SATA II but is one of the hs so I'm wondering if I can be replaced by a more powerful style, drive HARD 750 GB 7200 RPM / min 16 MB Toshiba courses?

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Your question is a bit hard to understand, but I think you want to replace the HARD drive with another (faster) model, right?

  Well, that s no problem. 7200 RPM hard drives works, they are a little stronger, but they're faster so if you need more performance without problem.
  750 GB or more are also no problem because the SATA interface is not the limited capacity. Theoretically 1 TB or more should also work.

  Anyway, you can buy the 750Go you mentioned that it will work. :)

• Can satellite A100-847 - I replace my current HARD drive with a SATA2 HARD drive?

  Hello

  I am currently using a Satellite A100-847 with a 100 GB SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive. I plan to change with a Western Digital WD2500BEKT 250 GB SATA2 16 MB 2.5 inch laptop hard drive 7200 TRM. Is it possible to replace my current HARD drive which is SATA with a one SATA2?

  And if not what is my best option upgrade of the mine to a HARD fast (7200 RPM) disc?

  Hello!

  Yes, you can replace the current drive with a SATA2 HARD disk. You already have a SATA interface, and this means that you can use each HDD with SATA interface.

  I don't know Mr. but as far as I know the Satellite A100 cannot use the speed of SATA1. This means that the new HARD drive maybe won't work with SATA1 speed but there is no significant difference in performance.

  A HARD drive with 7200 RPM is really fast, but don t forget it produces more heat and needs more electric battery. A HARD disk at 5400 RPM is perhaps fast enough for you?

  Good bye

• Do need me an adapter to replace the hard drive with an SSD

  I want to know before I get out my drive if I need adapter to replace my old hard drive with a drive way SSD SSD drive to connect directly to a MacBook pro six, one?  Or do I need an adapter for the interface on the SSD

  SATA SSD have the same footprint than conventional hard drives (some may be thinner than 2 mm, but the closing screws are adjusted for difference) Although adapters can be provided, you must not use in your MBP.  I installed three SSD in my Mac without adapters.

  Ciao.

• 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:

  FBData 12/12/2014 of the folder - file

  language of the file folder 12/12/2014

  Application of DiscVerifierib.dll 28/05/2011 extension 222 KB

  HPFileMgrdll 29/05/2011 "" 441 KB "

  Restore the 28/05/2011 "" 14 337 KB "

  _______________________________________________________________________________________________

  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.

• Error 1 full (305) hard drive with dv6-6119tx - is it worth to replace the HARD drive?

  Hello!

  I bought the mobile entertainment HP Pavilion dv6-6119tx (QB365PA) in July 2011. The specifications are - processor: Intel Core i5 - 2410M, integrated RAM DDR 3 4 GB, HDD: 640 GB (Toshiba) operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium x 64

  Since I bought this machine it has been giving me problems in time. First webcam died within the first 2 months, then the DVD recorder failed then it was the keyboard and finger print sensor. There were several problems with the installation of microsoft update. Six months ago, I replaced the 6-cell battery. I bought a costly maintenance contract for the second year, given the number of aging I met within the first year of use. Apart from the battery which was of course not covered under the contract, I had no other problems in the 2nd year. And just as this contract expired in August of this year I started facing problems, I got BSOD on two or three occasions. After each incident system booted normally and everything was fine except the Device Manager indicates problems with infrared devices consumers. The problem seems to have exploded on its own. Then since the past two months, my computer started freezing during startup and for initial 5-10 minutes. After startup. In this duration, I checked several times HARD drive health using the utility BIOS InsydeH2O repeatedly. The time required for the diagnosis seems to be gradually increasing with each analysis later but he still passed diagnostics. But today, when he sent 'Hard disk 1 (305) full' message and yet I am able to boot but with freezy start-up. Today, the system froze in the middle of something twice and I had to stop hard. When I ran Avast! It froze at 99% on detailed analysis. He struck the syswow64 folder file and showed an infected file.  I have run windows error checking-HD and it showed no errors.

  My questions are-

  1. what seems to be the problem? What is a HDD failure or infection?

  2. is it useful to replace the HARD disk if the problems are the result of HARD drive problems?

  3. I argued my sytem on external HARD drive, I can install Windows 7 on new HD, if get a?

  4 system backup of files is only 274 MB in size, is this good?

  5. If I purchase the new hard drive has the same specifications and manufacturer as the current one or can I update? If I can update what are recommended replacements?

  Hi KlebersonofGun:

  Thanks yo for your answer.  I send you a link to the Guide "Maintenance and Service" for your computer, click here. Page 62 has a section on the replacement hard drive

  You can use any brand of hard drive, as long as it fits the plug.

  I hope this helps.
