• Satellite L500 Support, new hard drive

  Hey,.

  So basically a few weeks a power surge overloaded my hard drive,

  Unfortunately I lost my receipt so I could not ask for warranty and has to go to a repair shop.

  If the repairs were fine, no drama.

  But basically, rather before where I'm sure I had vista installed, they have installed Windows 7,

  But the problem is that I've lost just some of the features, like built-in webcam Center, so I can't use my webcam and my habit of usb ports seem to work. As I plugged in a usb mouse and I don't even recognize it, it is not even appear in the Device Manager.

  Is there something I can do? I don't know if restoring the factory settings will work, because I have a completely new hard drive.

  Hi mate

  The webcam software can be downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.
  If install you this software, then you will get back the features of webcam.
  In addition, the webcam software does not depend on the model of laptop. I could install the Win 7 webcam software out for L500 on my Satellite A210.
  So please check it should work.

  Generally, the USB port should be recognized automatically without having to install additional drivers. The driver is part of the Windows 7 operating system.

  But you should also try to install the Intel chipset utility.
  It should allow for the USB ports also works.

• Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

  I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
  If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

  How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

  In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

  The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

  NTLDR
  Boot.ini
  NTDETECT.COM
  Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

  Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

  When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

  Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...

• Satellite Pro 2100 - new HARD drive is not booting

  Hello
  I wanted to update my SP2100 with a WD1200BEVE. (120 GB of WD).

  Copy of disk via USB + speakers worked, but after changing the disc nine does not start: the laptop hangs up with blinking cursor.
  Already checked that the partition is active and even a new installation from a CD of XP has the same result! The BIOS seems to accept the drive (if not installing via CD should have failed) so where is the problem?

  Any tips?

  Hi Kannengiesser,

  Which is really strange that you can t start up disk even it s recognized in BIOS correctly...

  You have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If so, you can try this disc factory settings. If it works, it was just an installation problem.

  But I couldn't imagine also that the new HARD drive is not working properly last week I had a similar problem. Made a HARD drive upgrade, but a few days later Windows didn't start because the HARD drive had a bad sector, now I'm waiting for a replacement drive.

• Satellite A135-S4487 - new HARD drive, are not not on the desk

  I have an A135-s4487 with two hard drives, the two 120 GB. I wanted to increase one of the discs with a 500 GB hard drive. I replaced the 2nd hard drive with the new seagate Momentus 500 GB disk. The computer see the drive on the list of devices but cannot see under computer or use it.

  Someone else has had this problem when changing drives, drive is too big and two disks must be of the same size? My OS is the smallest disk. I put the old drive to 120 GB in computer and everything works fine. Thank you

  Running Windows 7 with 4 GB of RAM

  Hi simirob,

  > The computer see the drive on the list of devices but cannot see under computer or use it.
  Yes, because you must create a partition and format everything first before you can use and it s listed under computer.

  Here's a very nice guide how to use the Windows disk management feature to create the partition, format the drive, etc.

• Satellite Pro M30: new HARD drive - what is the max capacity?

  Hello

  My Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 is 4 years old with a 60 GB hard drive (IDE).
  I would like to replace the hard drive with a bigger. What is the best? (BIOS version 1.70, Windows XP Pro SP 3).

  I would be happy not only to get the answer to my question but alos to where I might find the answer myself.

  Thanks and greetings

  Hello

  As far as I know the laptop is equipped with an ATA-100 IDE / ATA-6 HARD drive controller.
  In this case, you will need to use the 2.5 IDE HARD drive.

  I know with certainty that this notebook would support 80 GB HDD, but generally a larger HARD drive should also be possible because the controller is able to manage the 48-bit LBA.
  The 48-bit LBA can handle hard drives of more than 120GB.

  In my opinion, you can try a 120 GB and also 160 GB HARD drive should be possible.

• Desktop HP Pavilion p6-2123: New Hard drive with Windows 7 but cannot get online... need adapter... network error 0 x code 80070017

  I installed a new hard drive and clean installed Windows 7 from a dvd, so I could then install Windows 10 from a record since the upgrade on my pc failed repeatedly.

  After I installed 7, everything worked except that I can't go online. I get error code 0 x 80070017 that tells me to install a network adapter or reinstall a driver. My internet connection in our House work that my husband is able to get online. We have Verizon DSL internet via a network cable.

  My husband downloaded the necessary driver for my pc to a website of HP flash drive, but it Wouln't install/run on my pc.

  Thank you for your help.

  At any time.

  I am pleased to have been of assistance.

  If you still have problems with the flash player and this file, the only other suggestion I can offer would be to burn the file to a CD and run the executable file I've first validated from the CD or transfer the 2nd file I posted from the CD to the hard drive, or find the driver on the CD folder.

• Satellite C660 needs new HARD drive - Windows 7

  Hello

  My C660 needs a new hard drive. It came with Windows 7 Home premium pre-installed, and I would like to get back to that.

  If I go to Microsoft to download windows 7 with my product key, it gives an error. I contacted the support Ms. I don't remember what they said, but they could not help, perhaps because it was a version of installed manufacturer?

  So if I get a new hard drive, how can I go back to my previous operating system, Windows 7 Home Premium?

  Help please?

  You can have the previous operating system (recovery image) If you install it using a recovery (DVD or USB) media.
  I assume that you did not create this media recovery in the past, the right?

  If you always use your laptop and pre-installed OS try please create this media using pre-installed recovery media utility. More info on what you can read in the document of the user manuals.

• HP Probook 4520 s installed new hard drive with Windows 7 pro x 64 and drivers - very lag

  Hello

  I had my HP Probook 4520 s for 5 years and a few months ago, he started to become very lag, especially when you use the internet, streaming video and games.

  I thought I had identified the problem as a bad sector on the hard drive and so I bought a new hard drive and upgraded the RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB at the same time.

  When I installed the new hard drive, I couldn't burn an image of my old hard drive (it would stop during the process and was unable to do so because of an error). I used my little HP Windows 7 Pro x 64 operating system DVD and your HP Application and Driver Recovery DVD to install the necessary drivers on my replacement new drive.

  The RAM and the new hard drive seem to be good, however, it's more lag. I tried to use latancy monitors to see if the drivers are the issue. It seems that there is a huge amount of latancy and my CPU is at an almost constant usuage of 100%.

  LatancyMon points in the following drivers: usbport.sys, tcip.sys, acpi.sys, iastor.sys, ndis.sys, dxgkrnl.sys and so on.

  I've seen forums where they will guide you step by step how to determine what drivers are causing latancy. This I could do although he always seems to change drivers who are the cause of the problem and there seems to be a lot of pilots of causing this problem it is so difficult to bring out here that one. In addition, there seems to be no solution to these problems. The only one offered is to update the offending drivers. This does not solve the problem with lag and the latancy yet.

  Any ideas?

  P.s. I really don't know not what is the underlying issue is here so I don't know if this is the right forum to post in. Drivers may not at all be the issue, I spent the last four weeks trying to solve this problem.

  Hello skinandbones13

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  I understand that you have a problem with your laptop. However, since it is a commercial laptop, you should post your question on the map cell of the HP Enterprise Forums for a better answer.

  Have a wonderful day!

• Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive with USB operating system recovery?

  I have an Alienware 2015 15 which does not come with a CD player. I install a new hard drive (SSD 2280 m2), so the question is how to install WIndows 7.

  While Microsoft offers an OS IOS for WIndows 8 download that you can put on a USB (with dell, I think that it automatically pulls the product key of BONE off the coast of the motherboard?) this IOS download is not available for Windows 7.

  So the question is the recovery USB OS offered by dell will allow me to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the laptop even USB from recovery of the BONES came with. My last resort is to buy a new copy of windows 7 and a USB external CD/DVD drive.

  TLDR: OS Recovery USB offered by dell will install Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

  The factory restore USB will work on another drive. I did this procedure with the media created from the latest version of Dell backup and restore on my Inspiron 13 7347 and demonstrated the creation of media and installation on a new SSD:

  Since you are using use Alienware Alienware Respawn. Alienware respawn is very similar to Dell backup and restore.

• Installed Windows on a new hard drive with an old processor, the video controller, there are no drivers

  I have an old optiplex Gx280 dell and she had a damaged hard drive. I didn't need anything out of it so I got a new hard drive from Seagate internal tb and install a new copy of Windows 7 ultimate on it. I have updated all drivers for obtained with the exception of my video controller. Since then, I've used about 200 GB of space on it from the information that I want to keep, but apparently the drivers because this computer does not exist for windows 7. What should I do?

  Standard-Intel915G/915GV/910GL VGA graphics card
  Hardware acceleration is completely upward
  Dirctdraw, Direct 3D is not available

  If you can't find a driver update, you can try installing the driver in compatibility mode ' old'.  Simply right click the Installer do > properties > compatibility mode > choose OS

  Good luck

• Can I install unused Windows 7 on my new hard drive with Windows 8?

  SO to make a long story short I let my friend borrow a laptop computer and in some SORT he wiped the BONE. I have a HP Pavilion g7 and it is running windows 8. I called HP and after 45 minutes they told me they could send me a new hard drive and a 8 windows recovery disk. I already have an unused copy of windows 7. My question is can I install windows 7 on it and forget just about 8. (Yes, I'm one of those people) but it's so much easier for me to use. but theoretically, since I do not have an operating system on the hard drive I should be able to right? Thanks in advance!

  Original title: Windows 8 for windows 7

  Check the HP website first to ensure Windows 7 drivers are available for this laptop model. So here, there should be no problem with installation of Windows 7.

• How to install W7 on a new hard drive with an upgrade disc

  This issue was published and responded differently and I'm looking to help determine that I'm not just doing.

  I have a desktop dell Inspiron 540 initially installed with vista and upgraded to w7 with upgrade disk.  PC currently has a raid 0 on two drives configuration.  I want to do a clean install of w7 on a new 2 gig disk and remove my raid disk, so I unplugged my raid drives and plugged the new drive with the boot sequence set on DVD as priority to start.  When I put the drive of W7 the PC starts and begins installation of W7 and passes by a couple of reboots before it comes to rest on and the screen eventually white.  My questions are the following:

  (1) is the w7 stall out because it's only a upgrade disk.  I've read that even an upgrade disc must fill a system knowing that I finally needed to authenticate the license but this not yet get there.

  (2) or is the problem that none of the original pilot was loaded onto the new drive before trying to install w7?  I don't know if I have the disks just as the PC was rebuilt with new hardware warranty, so I don't know the Dell disks I have are no longer valid and if I install w7 without them.

  (3) if I do not have the right Dell driver disks is there a way to only install drivers without having to install as I prefer to do a clean vista w7 install.

  (4) when my pc normally starts in a raid 0 configuration and passes to the bios Setup screen, there will be an another intel matrix storage screen which is where I need to enter CTRL + I to enter the raid configuration...  After that I disconnected my original discs and installed a new this screen intel never presented itself - is that because I have not installed the drivers from dell?

  (5) others have suggested that I should keep the original discs in place for now, install my new hard drive, install W7 on the new drive and then delete older readers.  However, if I do and if Miss me the physical disks, if I remove the old drives, which allows W7 still starts it correctly once I deleted the old hard.

  THX,

  The disc itself is a full install of W7, it is key that defines as an upgrade and the normal solution to a blank disc is not enter key questioned at first, but to call the Activation Center later. That's because Windows 7 is a completely new system and use nothing of Vista/XP even if the upgrade should be complete.

  If the system restarts once again successfully during the installation, then it booted from the HARD disk as the installation tasks are all made from there. As JW suggests to test the HARD drive, most manufacturers offer on their website diagnostic utilities that are in the CD or bootable USB format then not dependent on the installed o/s. In addition, a contender is memeory questions, either swap autour, replace or reduce the system to a stick to eliminate the problems.

  Make sure RAID mode has been disabled in the BIOS for Windows 7 AHCI or SATA mode should work well when a single drive is equipped with RAID should disable auto. The keys Ctrl + I is a precursor of the o/s drivers so a function RAID BIOS Setup screen is not apply to it is not there. He disappeared because there is a single disc and you can't build a matrix on a single disc.

  All compatible motherboards in PC today have all the installation of Windows 7 no driver needed. They are normally added after the initial installation. If it's still a Dell Mobo, then the same driver drive should work as it will identify all required driver.

• HP mini 210-1032cl. I have a new hard drive with nothing on it. I don't know what to do.

  Someone sold me a mini 210-1032cl without hard drive.  I bought a hard drive on ebay.  Where should I go from here.  I can't access anything on my hard drive with disk management.  I did some research and saw the formatting and partitioning of hard drive using disk management.  But how to do this with nothing on the disk?  Which is the best operating system I can buy which also has an Office suite (if there is such a thing)?  I'm trying to restore the mini without breaking the Bank.  I will soon go to College and I need to get my mini operational as soon as possible.  Apparently, this mini was Windows 7 Starter.  I tried the HP Support, but it is so confusing to me.  I don't know what I'm doing.  Thanks in advance for your help and your insight. Forgive my ignorance.

  Hello:

  My recommendation is to click on the link below, and then click to expand the line of order recovery media, then click on the blue button more details and order the recovery disks that are going to install the operating system, software and drivers originally came with the laptop.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4062&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=4125470

  BEFORE YOU ORDER DISKS... Two important points to note...

  1. you will need a USB DVD drive to use with the recovery discs.

  2. the hard disk that you purchased should be the same storage capacity or larger than the original drive came with the laptop.

  The original specifications drive was 160 GB.
