• Windows problem for hard drive replacement

  I am trying to replace a hard drive in a HP d530 for a science teacher as the XP is a failure. He needs the XP until I finished preparing the Windows 7 and it has data on the XP and I put Windows 7 on the new hard drive and it has 80 GB. The old hard drive Windows XP and it is a 40 GB. I had two hard drives hooked when installing Windows 7. Windows 7, the name is the C drive and disk XP the D. I tried to start the hard drive of 7 single and it gives me an error of invalid system disk. Press a key to reboot. When I have two connected hard drives, windows 7 starts very well. A computer teacher wants to clone Windows 7 for another professor of science. He said, it won't help him with two hard drives connected. How can I get on the 80 GB stand-alone installation without having to reinstall Windows 7 Windows 7. I want to disconnect the hard drive from XP and just use the hard disk 7. I have the 7 and XP on separate hard drives. They are the two IDE hard drives. I need to get the new hard drive to boot by its self and windows 7 as a stand-alone installation.

  That's good news.

  I'm so glad you took in charge.

  Nice day

  How can I know the HDD I buy will be suitable for my laptop?

  Can you please tell me what era the + key-points + I need to know when buying a new hard drive for my laptop?

  I changed the subject, because it was so dumb. Why would I ask 'what hard drive buy' in a Toshiba forum :) what a forum administration...

  Hello

  Satellite A200 is a more recent series of laptops. This series of laptop use and support the SATA HDD controller and this means that you need a SATA HDD!

  The laptop runs the 2.5 hard drives. The speed of the HARD drive is not very important for compatibility so that you can choose 4200 RPM or other

  In addition the SATA controller has no limitation in size so THEORETICALLY, you should be able to use hard drives with 320 GB or more
  But in some cases rare BIOS would not be able to manage some HARD drive sizes, but this generally isn't the case

  Once you have your new drive installed and your recovery disc made available:

  Place the first recovery disc in the DVD drive, and then press the power button. If prompted to press a key to boot from the DVD do. In the Recovery Manager, select the factory reset. Who will install the operating system and all the partitions that were on the original hard drive.

  Can I use the recovery disk to install the OS?  on this new HARD drive? Yes and Yes

  Can I use the product key on the stikcer on the bottom of the laptop to activate win7? Yes

  Thanks in advance!

• Satellite A200 - recovery for HARD drive replacement drive

  Hi all,

  I have here an A200 owner said that he has just stopped working, it gives the message "BOOTMGR is missing", it was running Vista Basic. Vista recovery disc found no operating system (recovery program has written a few files from Notepad on the drive which seem to be the only things on it) install the drive in an external enclosure and try on another computer shows that the only files are the ones notebook. A disk check program found a few bad sectors.

  I intend to replace the drive, my question is what I can do. the operating system, he had a legal copy of Vista, but it came from Harvey Norman with no recovery disc (if the discs provided?) that I have to buy a new copy of the operating system.

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Hi Zamica,

  I m a bit confused... As a first step, you wrote that the recovery disc found no operating system and then you wrote that he came with no recovery disc

  Anyway, if you n t have a Toshiba Recovery disk, you can order it on the Web from Toshiba site (depending on the exact model) or you can ask a service provider authorized in your country.

• HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive replacement

  Hello

  I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC, and I had problems with hard disk of the guarantee period. for example I buy in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and 2012. Next time, he failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on average).

  The last time it failed, the warranty has expired so I thought to give it a try as employment through fixing/amortization of bad sector seagate software, Toshiba... that came out of Smart Drive Error.

  I use the HARD drive for some time now, but want to be ready for the next round and I don't know that he's going to be gone for good next time.

  Current HARD disk is 640 GB, 7200 RPM hard drive (replaced in 2012). HP 621046-001 manufacturer.

  When replacing, can I use ANY hard drive 640 GB? Can I use a hard drive that is higher than 640 GB? Different RPM?

  Any suggestions on hard drive?

  The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work properly. I had to use the first game I had created just after I bought the laptop.

  Thank you.

  I think that 160GB 2.5 "SATA III SSD is good for the system.

  Thank you

• My Mac has crashed. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Suite?

  I bought my Macbook Pro 17 (it's a Mid-2009, running Cougar 10.8.4) used on eBay, and it came with Adobe Master Suite CS5. I pursued a degree in graphic design, and the computer had everything that I needed to start. Now that I'm out of College, I rely heavily on InDesign and Photoshop to get the job done. However, after five years of loyal service without problem, my Mac has crashed and I have never used time Machine. I might have to reinstall Mountain Lion or replace the hard drive. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Collection of applications? I can save them somehow?

  Any reply and help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you for your time.

• Satellite 1410: I forgot the password for HARD drive

  Hi Please help!

  I have toshiba satellite 1410 series...
  I think that the hard drive was full and it was locked.
  I really need to get to this unblock as im very new to comps. whenever I start my pc it ask me password for HARD drive...
  I need all the help to get this open

  Help, please

  Hello

  AFAIK, you need the old HARD drive password to clear the password disk HARD asking.
  If you have forgotten the password to disk so you don t have any other possibility to get into the HARD drive. In this case, the HARD disk is unusable and unfortunately you need a new HARD disk drive. :(

• Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption. STOP: 0x0000007B__Blue screen

  I have a Vista 64 bit OS.  I tried to do a system restore to the last checkpoint to interrupt a Service Pack.  Restore failed (don't remember exact error), now when I try to boot Vista, I get a message saying to run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption.  STOP: 0X0000007B
  My questions are:
  (1) do I need Vista recovery CD in order to enter the menu advanced at this stage startup options?
  (2) if I decide to upgrade to Windows 7 now, made the stop: 0x0000007B have a problem with that?  or could I fall in Windows 7?
  Vista 64 gave me many problems and I think its time to make him... Thanks in advance... Mark

  Hi Markgod5,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  It seems that the hard drive is damaged if we get this error message to running chkdsk.

  You can start the computer in safe mode with command prompt and see if you can start.  Then run the chkdsk command.

  To do this follow these steps:

  (a) restart your computer if it is running.

  (b) press F8 after your computer powers initially on.

  (c) once you see the menu Advanced Boot Options, you can stop tapping.

  (d) use the up/down arrow keys to select Safe mode with command prompt.

  (e) in the command prompt window, type the following command and press enter Chkdsk /R and Chkdsk /F

  Using recovery DVDs, you cannot switch mode winRE (Windows Recovery Environment) to run chkdsk. You need DVD full version (Win 7/Vista) or Vista repair disk.

  You probably won't be able to install win 7 because the problem is with the hard drive and chkdsk should be run for the error.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

• I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

  I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

  Option 1:

  If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

  Option 2:

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

  Option 3:

  If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.
