Replacing the hard drive issue Compaq F750US

Hi all. Thank you for reading my post. I tried searching to see if it has developed, but no luck.

My laptop (Vista Home Premium) has a 120 GB 5400 RPM hard drive, which is the ability and I would like to replace it with a Raptor SATA 320 GB drive 10 000. I was wondering if this drive would be compatible at that speed, or should I go with a 7200 RPM drive... Or I can improve the speed of the drive at all? The cache size is a factor at all?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

These 2.5-inch Velociraptor 10 000 discs are too thick for laptops... they are made for the blades and such. The best you will get is a 7200 RPM 2.5-inch with a 16 or 32 meg cache. Yes, cache makes a difference. The more the better, but the sharp increase comes when you go 8 meg meg 16.

    Recovery of DNG issue: I have photos stored on an external hard drive which have previously been imported into Lightroom and converted to DNG.  The laptop on which I was running Lightroom died and I had to replace the hard drive and rebuild the computer.  In the process of my Lightroom program and catalog related to these images have been lost.  When I re-associate these photos with my new installation of Lightroom and a new catalogue is there a way to retrieve the keywords or other changes or metadata catalogue Mountaga?  Is any of this information embedded with the imge DNG file or was it only in the cataloght lost on my failing hard drive? I re-import just as if it were new images with no prior treatment of Lightroom?

    By default, LR saves all changes in the catalog, and that applies to any type of file.

    Optionally, you can save changes to the file as well, for raw files owners, this will create a xmp file - for DNG that changes are going to be cooked in the file, without additional xmp file.

    But it does not default. Go to the catalog and parameters under the control of metadata automatically save changes to XMP.

    Unless you do this, the changes are saved only in the catalog.

    Hope this makes things clearer.

    Hello

    Browse the following documents carefully & follow him.

    Test a HDD in BIOS ; Laptops HP - how to run the hard drive Test

    Hard disk failure errors

    Test the hard drive by using SMART

    Normally the HP disk HARD Selft Test works well, but the information stored in S.M.A.R.T indicates that your HARD drive will fail.

    It seems the automatic test crashes if there is a bad sector that has not yet been remapped. If you back up all your data before performing a full format on the disc it will fix the problem (assuming it's the same problem I had). In the meantime, I would check what are the SMART test results... you may have a faulty hard drive. (one or two bad sectors are not as bad as HP are affected because these will be remapped as soon as a write is attempted on them).

    If it gets corrupted, go for another one again.

    First of all trying to read the above documents and try to do it again.

  • 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.

  • 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)

    FYI - I have used the adapter is even cheaper now

  • Problems with folder permissions after replacing the hard drive

    Hello

    Recently, I replaced the hard drive on my mac.  Already before the replacement, I got the files that I had locked.  Now I'm unable to open the file.  I get the error "the folder 'nom_de_dossier' can not be opened because you don't have permission to see its content".  I looked at the permissions for the folder and everything he says is fetch.  I ran a command in the Terminal and for one of the records in question, that's what I see-

    Running OS X El Capitan

    Try this first:

    Start the mac all holding the SHIFT key, it is slow, connection, and then select Restart from the Apple menu.

    When this does not help:

    Reset password utility in the recovery Partition:

    1. Restart your computer from the recovery partition.
    2. Open disk utility and run a repair permissions on your boot volume (in ElCapitan click the first aid tab). Once this completed, close disk utility. We do this for good measure.
    3. Open a Terminal from the Utilities menu. Type in resetpassword and select your user (NOT administrator system/root) account in the menu drop-down.
    4. Click on the Reset button at the bottom of the window ACL section and Reset the folder permissions.
    5. Exit the utility password and return to the main recovery menu.
    6. On your keyboard, press + Q and restart your computer. It is very important that you don't hold down the power button to exit the recovery session, or the ACL Reset to occur.
  • Replacing the hard drive on my Portege A200

    Hi, I would like to replace the hard drive in my a200 with a bigger, but I don't know how to remove the current, just wondering if any of you guys could help me?

    Thank you james

    Hello James

    Unfortunately the A200 does not for me, but the concept is still the same. At first check if you can find coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner of your unit. If you can't find it from the outside as it comes to the very complicated situation. It is possible that the HARD drive is under the keyboard.

    If you have not many don't experience do it alone, because you can damage something, and the guarantee is no longer valid.

    Good luck!

  • 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 ;)

  • Satellite L300-A13 - how to replace the HARD drive?

    I need to replace my drive hard because I got a disc error and I could hear noises from him. Someone knows the size of the current hard drive replace (either 3.5 SATA or whatever it is)?

    No space memory but actual size, so it can fit inside my computer and someone know a tutorial to replace by yourself?

    Hello

    To replace the HARD drive, you need a 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface. These 3.5 HARD drive you want to say are only for desktop PC s peut t used in laptops to buy a 2.5 so one.

    But it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive or the size. Just look for a 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface.

    Replace the drive is pretty easy: just remove the two screws on the underside of the cover of the HARD drive. You can exchange it.
    I know because I have the same laptop. ;)

  • 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! :)

  • Re: Satellite P200-178 - how to replace the HARD drive?

    Is it really possible to replace the HARD drive on this model? I have another satellite & which was 2 screws & pulling on one leg, job done.

    The P200 has an opening apparently get actually on the HARD drive but it gets you on the underside of the car, so I think that you will have to pass the upper part by means of the keyboard.

    Can anyone help? I lost 70 pounds on a HARD disk that cannot be mounted?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    As far as I know on all models, it of possible to swap the HARD drive.

    According to the user manual on the underside of the laptop it is a case of HDD for HDD1 and HDD2. This coverage is provided by one or two screws, I think that should be deleted. After that, you are able to exchange the HARD drive.

    Take a look on the underside. HARD drive swap is not complicated and can be done in a few minutes. :)
