• Satellite L50 - A-1 DG - with the new SSD HARD drive replacement

  Satellite L50 - A - 1 DG

  I would put my SSD in the PC and install win7 on it. But it does not work.

  I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

  I tried to replace the SSD hard drive. Then the pc cannot start up. And I can't get into the bios or adjustment.

  Someone knows what's the problem?

  > I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

  This does not work with all models of laptops.
  As far as I know that the laptop must support Slim Select Bay and the BIOS should also support this hardware option. But in your case, it doesn t.

  One possible solution is the use of SOLID-STATE drive instead of the HARD disk.

  You said that you are not able to access the BIOS after these updates.
  Well, before you do this (a SSD drive connection) you should access the BIOS and must disable secure boot and must set the start mode MSC mode.

  The comments appreciated.

• Satellite A55-S106 does not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive

  I replaced the 60 GB IDE HDD in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A55-S106 with a 160 GB one of Western Digital.

  I've restored a Ghost 10 image to the new drive on a hard disk external. The computer still recognizes only 60 GB. Belarc and HD Tune to see a 160 GB drive, but show the volumes as being only 60 GB.

  Disk management Windows show 93,16 GB as unallocated.
  I am running Windows XP SP3.

  Someone at - it ideas? The BIOS can be crippled somehow? I can't find anything in the BIOS that seems to address hard drive size.

  I started directly on the Ghost recovery CD after installing the new drive. Should I have formatted, it firstly somehow? Here I used the original recovery CD to recover everything first and then restored the Ghost image?

  I put a 160 GB drive in an old 1999 Dell desktop running Windows 98 and no problems like that. It is hard to believe that a laptop from 2005 would have this problem. It is, however, my first attempt at using a version of Ghost Windows hard drive recovery.

  > I started directly on the Ghost recovery CD after installing the new drive. Should I have formatted, it firstly somehow?

  Yes, I suppose the HARD drive was not formatted in NTFS file format.
  This is why I would recommend booting from original Toshiba Recovery CD and then check if the HARD drive has been recognized correctly!

  Please check first!

• Satellite L670D - issue of recovery on the new HARD drive

  Hi all.

  I actually sent this support Toshiba has a few days ago, but still have received no response and thought I would try this forum.

  That's the problem; the hard drive of my laptop is a failure, I had warnings to create a backup and replace the drive hard as soon as possible. I have done this and have mounted with success the computer with a new brand Hitachi 500 GB hard drive, with no problems.

  Then, I entered the program installation and makes the dvd the first boot drive. The first disc of recovery in the drive and it starts perfectly and started the process. I then went through the recovery procedure with the DVD 3 x on my computer, it seemed to work flawlessly, and after inserting all 3 disks in the order as requested, I was instructed to remove the final support.

  I have reset the boot hard drive and windows started normally until I got to this point. "the installation program starts services. Then comes a pop-up window saying; "windows could not complete the installation, to install windows on installation, this restart of the computer.

  Of course I tried to start in a few other ways to the f8 advanced boot options, but he always does this same thing.

  I can't imagine what the problem is that everything seems to go well until this?

  Hope you can help me solve this problem.
  Thank you

  Hello

  Only thing I would say is that you need to install recovery image again. Please try it out and post comments.
  It will be interesting to know if the same thing will happen again.

• New recovery disks the size of hard drive

  Hello world

  I created a set of recovery disks for my laptop HP Pavilion G7. He was 6-disc. The original hard drive recovery disks made of was a 750 GB hard drive.

  The drive began to die on this laptop. I have another laptop I do not use and which has a new 500GB inside. I went on the hard disks they are compatible.

  My question is can I use the recovery discs I had made of the 750 GB drive that is now dying and to get new hard disk that is 500 GB. I started the process, but stalled on to Midway through the disc 4. Is it because I put in a smaller HDD?

  At this point I have to buy a hard drive that is at least 750 GB?

  Please advise and thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Recovery media may have problems if used on the lower to the original discs.

  Another option that you might consider, like your laptop originally shipped with Windows 8 and the activation key is stored in the Bios Chip, would be to create your own OEM of Windows 8 installation disc.

  For more details on how to do this, see the post Hüffer 3rd on the following link - Note: download is subject to a ceiling, you may need to try over a period of several hours before it starts successfully

• Windows Vista install the new WD hard drive empty - does not not :(

  It was my original question: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/HP-Pavillion-a6645f-No-hard-drive-detected-BIOHD-2-err...

  And now...

  I got my CD of HP recovery and ordered a new WD 500 GB HDD... same features as the seagate who pooped me and I can't get windows install on the new HD

  No matter what I do, computer wants to open the Recovery Manager and according to the available procedure does not work.  It works me in circles asking for #1 drive, then the drive recovery supplement and back with no progress.

  What I have to do is use this form: http://vistahomepremium.windowsreinstall.com/installnewhdd/installnewhdd.htm but only the Recovery manager opens when I boot from the CD.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  If I followed your questions correctly... you had a BIOHD-2 error, ordered HP recovery discs, replaced the hard drive and tried to restore your system with no luck. Is that a correct assessment of the situation?

  OK, you need to make a Windows Vista install screen... not who's going to go with your HP recovery CD/DVD. The disks do not contain the Windows installation routine, only the HP Recovery Manager. These discs contain more or less, an image of the HP installed OS and software, plus some drivers and applications. To the best of my knowledge, you should have three DVDs (1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3/3) more an additional drive. You should boot from CD 1 of 3... Then, when asked to insert the 2/3... Then, when asked to insert 3/3. And finally if/when necessary additional drive.

• Historical files Windows 8 will not recognize the new external hard drive

  I just bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio) with Windows 8Pro (System op 64-bit, Intel I7, 1THD).  One of the reasons is that I have approached Win8, is I liked the concept of the new 'File History' backup utility  I started to use the computer with an ext WD My Guide of the HD and the history of the files seemed to work.  Then the drive external hard went wrong and I just bought a new WD My Passport 2 t ext HD.  Historical files will not recognize this drive.  He keeps asking the old drive.  When I attached the new drive and go to the screen "Select drive", it says "no usable drives are detected.  Please connect a drive... "I know that the drive is there because I see under 'My computer' and I can copy files to it.  But the history of the files do not recognize.  WD, I called and they helped me to update drivers and even made a update firmware on the drive, but nothing is done.  I tried several fixes suggested in a few links Microsoft 'how file history works... '. «, «What to do if the file history works more...» ", etc, but all without success. The tech also remote BestBuy Geek squad my computer and tried EVERYTHING and could not get it to succeed.  BTW, it's not the HD post because put us on another computer to WIN 8 and Hx file found immediately.  Tech people thought that it was a deep registry with Win 8 problem and their only suggestion was to reimage my computer with the original recovery disk.  But who is going to cost me an arm and a leg.

  I'm not very tech savvy, so I know there must be something very simple, I'm do wrong or overlooking and I hope that some dear soul on this forum or someone from Microsoft can give me an idea or two.  Thank you very much

  I was having this same problem, but then noticed a presentation text easy to miss in the historical files tool that says that the disc "cannot be a part of a library" or something like that. In my case, I had files on my external hard drive that have been included in several libraries... and none that I really used, so I removed the files (and deleted the libraries for good measure). A fast system restart later, and my player does not appear.

  I don't know why MS did not propose it again for this thread as the more obvious thing to check, but there you have it. Something simple and quick to check that could save you some frustration.

• Inspiron 13-5323 does not start after the new installed hard drive

  Fall of my Inspiron and Geek Squad said she needed a new hard drive.  I installed a new identical to the former myself blue WD.  When activated, it immediately passes to "Phoenix Securecore Tiano Setup.  Pre-launch tests indicate that the new hard drive works fine.  I tried to start in safe mode UEFI and in the boot Legacy mode, but no boot.  I get a message "Not found operating system".  It is my understanding that this computer has an operating system embedded on the motherboard.  I previously had it improved Windows 8.1 to 10.  When I tried to boot mode safe mode using F8, I had the same operating system not found message.  The F2 and F4 keys on commissioning do nothing different, either.  Am I missing a step in the window settings of Phoenix?  Suggestions while in Phoenix window bringing me could happen to start the system would be appreciated.

  In fact you have reloaded the operating system?  If not, the new drive is empty - it's why you see the message you see.

  You will need all the recovery media, as you did when you received the system - or, if you do not prepare a set, you will need to call Dell to buy a flash drive with the media today.  The alternative is to download Windows 10 TH2, of the same version (standard, pro) that has been installed and activated previously.  You can then reload the operating system.

  > What should I do with a hidden partition in Windows Vista that is used for the start?
  The hidden partition is needed for the repair of the system!
  If something goes wrong with the system, Vista would be able to repair the system using the files from the hidden partition.
  The Vista operating system creates this partition automatically during the installation of the OS!

  After you change the HARD drive, just start using the Toshiba and Vista recovery disk should create the partitions and must run the installer automatically

  Check out bad news.

  Unknown HARD disk password cannot be removed or deleted.
  In this case, the HARD drive is blocked and is no longer usable

  I think you can abandon this HARD drive and you can buy a new :(
