• 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. :)

• Windows 8 license after replacing the HARD drive

  Original title: change of equipment (HARD drive)

  Good night, I have a computer laptop windows 8 and I fear that the HARD drive (malfunction) he'll need replacement.

  My question is, what will happen to my windows 8 license, once my current HARD drive stop working (because the key is encrypted in the bios)?  
  Please note that in the country where I live customer support is, at best, ineffective, so personal attention is not an option.
  Thank you before hand.
  Send you my best regards.

  Hi, Caesar,

  Activation pairs your product key in your hardware configuration and helps to verify that your copy of Windows is not been used on more computers than to allow the 3668Microsoft Software License Terms.

  If you change the hardware on your PC, you must contact support to activate Windows by phone.

  As you have decided to replace the hard drive, you could face an activation/Windows not genuine error.  You can follow these steps to make a phone activation.

  a. press Windows key + X , then click run, then type: slui.exe 4

  b. press the ENTER key

  c. Select your country from the list.

  d. choose telephone activation .

  e. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  f. explain your problem to the support person

  See the article:
  How to activate a Microsoft product using Microsoft Product Activation Center

  Hello

  Your laptop is considered as coming with a 320 GB drive hard, but you can install just as easily a 500 GB or 750 GB HARD drive if you want a little more space - readers at the following links are examples that would be perfect for your laptop.

  Hard drive 500 GB

  750 GB hard drive.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 57 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Regarding the upgrade your Ram, the maximum is only 8 GB (IE 2 x 4 GB Modules) - an example of an upgrade appropriate can be seen on the link below.

• How to replace the hard drive with an SSD on a model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286

  Hello

  I would like to replace the hard drive on my model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286 with a disk solid state drive (SSD). First of all, I would like to know if this is possible. Second, what is the best way to do it? I'm under the Yosemite OS if that makes a difference.

  Here are some technical details of my current system:

  -MacBook Pro 15 inch, late 2011 model A1286

  -OS yosemite

  -16 GB of memory/RAM

  -Currently using stock HD

  All instructions step by step would be helpful with what software should I use to make backups of my current operating system (e.g., SuperDuper). I would also like to know what tools or material I need like type of screwdriver, cables to transfer data to the SSD, etc.. My goal is to not have to reinstall each app one by one on the SSD, but if that's the only way to do it then it's okay.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  You can see instructions OWC here. Tools are mentioned in the discussion (I used a plastic knife picnic with the stronger edge somewhat blunt for nylon pry tool). I suggest you invest in one of these external fences. Install the SSD in who and clone internally externally with CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. Then move the external drive of the internal drive after the start of the SSD in the external to confirm the operation.

• Replace the HARD drive - same MODEL same vs P/N

  I intend to replace the HARD drive in my T30 with the same original title Travelstar.  There seems to be a lot of available.  It's cheaper to buy a disk without the caddy and I can transfer the caddy from the old drive.  I found the discs "naked" with the MODEL number matching (ICN25N040ATCS04-0) but the PART number is different (mine is 08K 1089).  Specs are the same.   Is a football match of MODEL number sufficient, or do the different p / n apply to different interfaces or other settings that should I worry about the?

  TIA,

  Dan

  as long as it is a form factor 2.5 inch PATA 9.5 mm disk hard drive then its okay. The travelstar disc is used in many different company machines, so the player you replace may not be a machine IBM/Lenovo, it might be just as likely a compaq machine, etc..

  But nevertheless, it should work.

• Equium A100-338, replacing the hard drive

  Hi, the hard drive from my Toshiba Equium A100-338 just broke down on me, and now I think to replace. Because I'm not good material, I thought I have ask for advice about it here first. Is this an easy repair that can be done on your own? If so, how can I know if my computer match which new hard drive? I know that I need a 2.5 inch Sata-150 and all that, but I'm not sure of the compatibility.

  In addition, it is worth the money to make repairs like this on such an old computer? I wouldn't throw it out when everything else seems to work very well.

• 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 ;)

• Equium - how to replace the HARD drive?

  Hello

  I need to replace the hard drive on my Toshiba Equium.
  Can someone tell me the procedure? I changed it once before, and I remember having to press one of the function keys when I turned on the laptop with the new hard drive installed.
  Should I have the recovery disk when the laptop is turned on with the new hard drive installed?

  Thank you very much

  Tim.

  Hey,.

  You should take a look in your user manual. Sometimes you will find a detailed how instruction replace the HARD disk, but it according to your laptop model.

  If you swapped the HARD drive, you need to reinstall Windows. Therefore, you can take the Toshiba Recovery disk that will restore the initial setup in a few minutes with all the drivers and tools. You only have to boot from that drive and that s all! :)
