• Satellite A200 PSAF3A - upgrade the hard drive - data retention?

  Hello

  I am working on a Toshiba Satellite A200 PSAF3A with a dying 160 GB Fujitsu 5400 RPM SATA drive installed.
  I would like to replace the hard drive 400 GB 5400 RPM SATA drive in a car with a Fujitsu and transfer any existing information on it. I noticed that there is a standard C:\, a System Volume of Toshiba and a HDDRecovery partition on the current drive.

  Can someone tell me if this is possible by using disk imaging software? If so, what are the issues could meet? (eg. new player will only recognize the old C:\ partition size etc.)

  I have already created a backup of the drive image and all 3 partitions (as she made a lot of noise and possibly at its output) using shadow protect Desktop
  Toshiba HDDRecovery & the System Volume partitions don't show in SPDesktop as the affected drive letters, so I don't know if I can restore using this program. Everyone has used successfully to achieve this result?

  pus
  I also have a Ultimate Boot CD for Windows here, and have successfully used the Roadkills Disk Copy with a SATA Adapter USB to copy a C:\ on a laptop in the past. It would be a better approach? I was thinking of using this method because it must copy all 3 partitions, then just use GParted to resize C:\ to fill the rest of the available HARD disk space.

  Thanks in advance :)

• Upgrading the RAM. Can I use the old memory of the computer for the newly purchased computer.

  My old computer which does not has RAM 1.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR @ 106 MHz (2, 5-3-3-7), while the anther computer, I bought recently has RAM DDR 400/128 bits. Can I use the old memory of the computer for the newly purchased computer. Are they compatible? Thank you

  Hello nonmae,.

  You must use DDR 400/128 bit RAM in your system. @ 106 Mhz DDR is quite old. It's also much slower than the DDR 400. RAM is not particularly expensive today and it is always best to stick to that suggests your PC user manual.

  You must use the same speed too, if you use a lower speed, the memory of your PC by default at the lowest speed, thus slowing the PC

• Satellite U205-S5002: cannot retrieve the Express Media Player after upgrading the HARD drive

  So I bought just a new Toshiba Satellite U205-S5002 I love it. One of the great features that interest me was the Express Media Player feature.

  My first step was to upgrade the hard disk and 160 GB and 2 GB ram.
  I placed the disk and ram in my old laptop and sold it.

  Before that I did, I made a copy ghosts and ghost of the hard drive to the new drive. Well come to find out...

  Toshiba is not provided with this software preinstalled, so I followed the instructions to burn my recovery disk Express Media Player and the boot on the new disk.
  So this is where the saga begins...

  After 15-20 seconds, I get a soothing blue screen (NOT of blue BSOD you mind) who says:

  /!\
  An error occurred during the recovery of "Express Media Player".
  -------------------------------------------------------
  Please pick up the image again from the beginning.
  Press any key to exit.

  It is typed exactly as it is on the screen. So, I see some other forums saying: you must have the free space of the disk so I resize the partition that allows 200 MB of space. Always the same... then try 2 GB even... then the 50 GB, same problem...

  OK, so obviously not a question of space. I read while I might need to erase the drive... so I delete the partition, this same error... then I run the recovery disk and tell him to wipe the drive, wait 1 1/2 hour, it ends. No dice! So I decide... ok... Well lets try another disk... I have restored my ghost image... and burned the image again... same question... so I decide to the recovery disk and I'll try to reinstall windows in the factory and make a record...

  Well, it does not work as well as you think... the image is incomplete... windows works fine... but the c:\Toshiba\ExpressMediaPlayer folder is empty!

  I'm happy that I have ghosts my original directory. But I decide allows to Express Media Player a shot more now that I have restored to factory... always the same error... I then decide a trial more... I'll erase drive 1.5 hours, I'll restore from toshiba dvd provided but leaving plenty of space at the end 2 GB (I have a lot about people who tell you to base just around 200 MB)

  5 hours later... moment of truth... Well Yes you guessed it... I don't know anything else to try... I have a bad image?
  You need one that I can download what has worked for them for sure? Or have - I have completely found myself by replacing the HDD with after market and which is originally a kind of compatibility issue?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  It s a great story!
  I put t know how to start so maybe first some info on the Express media player.

  As you said, and has already proposed the Express media player has been preinstalled on the second partition.
  If you want to install this media Express on the HARD disk drive, 150-200 MB of free space must be available. This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated.
  To get these free space on the HARD disk, 3 third-party products should be used as for example the Partitions Magic 8!

  I'm not going to write a story how to recover the Express media player because Toshiba has already created useful documents, which described complete installation!
  I found these documents in the knowledge base of computer Toshiba:

• Why did NVIDIA driver installed on Satellite P200-13Z?

  This might be a bit a thick question but can someone tell me why when I go to change program/uninstalling, I have a program
  NVIDIA driver does it say I or you can get it if so how?

  My graphic is Intel
  I have series Satellite P200-13Z

  Hello

  I agree with Garrett. Recovery image is obviously designed with different display drivers and can be used on the same model laptop but with different graphics adapter.
  I'm sure that you can remove this preinstalled software from NVIDIA.

  Anyway, this does not permanently affect stability and performance of the laptop.

• Question about a Satellite P200-13z graphics card upgrade

  Can I upgrade the graphics card on my Satellite P200-13z? What are my different options and the corresponding prices?

  Only, I built in 3D accelerator card intel.

  Hello

  These issues have been several times here in the Toshiba forum and there is only one answer.
  It s not possible to update the graphics card on any laptops!

  The GPU is mostly welded and mounted on the motherboard and it of impossible to remove it!

  You ask for options? Well, I read on maps external graphics for laptops, but in my opinion, this isn't a real option and don t think that the performance of this graphics card would be much better that your graphics card internal laptop P200

• upgrade the hard drive on Presario 17XL365

  Inherited this machine recently and I was wondering if I can upgrade the hard drive.  He got a Hitachi DK23BA-15 which is ATA - 66.  But I read that the chipset of the motherboard will be ' interface with ATA/66 hard drives in UDMA 2 mode "-a description of the site intel (North 82443BX/South 82371EB).  Intel® 440BX AGPset.

  So my question is, any laptop drive ide or eide will work with this?  Or I need to find a player who is specificially ATA-66.  Any info on the momentum and the size limitations would also be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance!

  It's a record of 4200 RPM 15 gigabytes. You can use any portable player of up to 120 gig eide, but not anymore. Anyway, you would benefit from a rotational speed of 5400 RPM which is what you can find in the market these days, but will not improve your ATA - 66 maximum transfer speed. The most recent ATA - 100 or 133 readers interfacera just at the speed of 66 but faster speed of rotation of the drive will always access same time help lower transfer speed if that makes sense.

  The number of ATA - 66 is just the maximum theoretical speed, which you reach rarely, in any case.

• Satellite M40x-189: on the HARD drive and graphics card update Question

  Hi people just a few quick questions.

  1. a second hard drive can I be mounted on the cell above?... it came with a 60 GB HARD drive
  graphics mobile geforce or ati 2. can / will be mounted instead of the integrated graphics card?

  the answers would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  It is not possible to upgrade or replace the graphics card. The graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard. It s not the same technology as on desktop computers.
  Upgrading the HARD drive is something different. It of possible to replace the HARD drive to another. But before you replace the HARD drive, you must check if the HARD disk is compatible and if the BIOS will recognize.
  Sometimes the BIOS cannot recognize the hardest.

  Good bye

• Upgrade the hard drive on my HP G62-149WM for a 750 GB,

  If I upgrade the hard drive on my HP G62-149WM to a 750 GB drive (or maybe a 1 to) and use the factory purchased the set of recovery disks, it will install the recovery (hidden) on the disk partition, or not?  What IS the recovery partition, it will install (if installed)?

  Hello

  You can certainly move to a 750 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive, a 1 TB would also be possible, but it is not listed as a compatible hdd in a service guide. After a reset, the laptop will be in the same condition that you used for the first time (OS preinstalled). The recovery partition is going to be on the hard drive as well. Size is not too large, I think that it would be up to 15-20 GB...

• Failure to upgrade the hard drive T30 - blinking cursor - will not progress

  I have trouble to upgrade the hard drive on my Thinkpad T30.

  I'm trying to upgrade a 40 GB hard drive to a hard drive of 250 GB.  (New drive is the EVE of Western Digital WD Scorpio 2500 b)

  I used the Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to clone the drive.  Unfortunately, when I insert the new drive in the computer, booting stops and is at the level of the blinking cursor.

  I used the tools of Lenovo's PC to test everything.

  I have used Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to check the hard drive.

  I've updated my Bios and embedded controller program.

  When I start the computer and press F1 to access the Bios, the sign more shows next to the hard drive.  I understand that this means that the Bios recognizes the hard drive.

  I went into Setup to choose the hard drive as the boot device, but the computer still hangs at the level of the blinking cursor.

  When the new hard drive is connected to the computer by usb in an external case, it shows that the contents of the old drive is copied to the new drive.

  What should I do now to solve this problem and get the computer to boot from the new drive?

  A program, often recommended by the ortegeluis is Easeaus Disk Copy freeware that can help you.

• Upgrade the hard drive or consider a new ThinkPad?

  Hello

  I have an IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad R51e with a 40 GB hard drive. I'll soon be at the limit of ability, and I think to upgrade the hard drive.

  My laptop is under warranty until May 2009, says I guess some of you maybe understand my dilemma. Even the technology IBM says it was a difficult call. He suggested an external drive, but I really wanted to do as it would go against how I personally use my laptop.

  He gave me a 80 GB hard drive part number 13N6709 (it is the biggest hard drive I can go internally with the R51e) which will cost me $261,00

  I tried looking for answers to these questions, but the more I read more my head began to spin.

  There are a few questions (with the help of the people in this forum) I'm eager to know before investing more money in this laptop.

  Do I need other parts to install the new HDD?

  The Pro Windows XP was preinstalled by IBM/Lenovo. It will recognize my serial number to install it?

  All my recovery disks will still work with the new hard drive? Or do I have to buy a new game?

  I'd be better to just buy a new laptop?

  If, therefore, for those knowing what are the features that are on the R51e IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad would get the most bangs for the bucks?

  I'd appreciate really no knowledge that any of you can give me.

  Sincerely,

  Kat

  
  

• Upgrade the HARD drive and install SSD XP to Windows 7 upgrade - which command?

  I want to make some improvements to my trusty HP XP media center PC m7350n.  Ideally, here's what I want to do in a certain order:

  -upgrade the HARD drive (currently 250 and 500 GB installed, replace with 750 unique?)

  -install an SSD as boot drive (60 to 120 GB?)

  -Reinstall XP restore disks media center

  -do a upgrade 'clean' for win 7 Home premium (64 bit?) from the disc "upgrading"

  The Windows 7 upgrade disk looks like for XP/Vista, so I can't put new hardware and go directly to a cost of Win 7 install.

  Plan a.

  I understand the look of for the minimum size of disks restore disks.  All guess what SSD size would be the minimum? I guess the upgrade of the first hard drive and reinstall XP MC since the restore disks would be trivial (as opposed to their use after a motherboard replacement).  If I have XP MC on the SDS, it is only a reason any Win 7 no upgade SDS?

  Plan B

  If I install the SSD after upgrade to Windows 7, I guess I have to use something like a disk copy program to the boot from SSD HARD disk partition.  SUGESTIONS?

  Plan C

  Restoration of SKIP.  Move existing partitions of 250 and 500 GB drives to 750.  Update for Win 7.  Install an SSD.  Move the boot partition.  Use the same drive for both copy program?

  Am I missing something?

  In case anyone is wondering, I have a spare 750Go drive and the Windows 7 upgrade disk so the only "cost" of this update is to purchase the SSD (and if necessary disk copy program).

  Thank you!

  Don,

  Please read this article by Paul Thurrott more "Clean install Windows 7 with upgrade media '. It essentially says you can make a completely clean install on a drive with no operating system. The key is not to enter the COA product key after installation is complete. I, myself, installed Windows 7 to discs using disks 'upgrade' several times without problems of installation or activation. The order I do it with, is as follows:

  1 copy all the files and folders of the 250 and the 500 GB HDD of 750 GB.

  2. remove the 250 GB, 500 GB and 750 GB of computer hard drives.

  3. install the SSD.

  4. install Windows 7 on the SSD without entering the product key.

  5. Once finished Windows 7 installation, enter the product key and activate Windows.

  6. return old hard disks of computer as needed.

  7. install purchased software and Windows updates if necessary.

  You should go to 4 GB of RAM to get the most out of Windows 7 64 bit and you can upgrade your graphics card.

  Note: You will lose all software provided CVS Windows XP on your m7350n. Make sure that you create your HP recovery discs before you proceed with the change of equipment or install Windows 7. Your HP recovery disks can have the factory included HP software... it may or may not work with Windows 7. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

• Upgrade the hard drive or the new laptop

  I currently own a mid-2010 Macbook Pro that works well (Apple store ran all the checks and he said everything was good), but there almost six years and I don't want to die any time soon (I need a laptop for school). I do not use the mac for something other than Microsoft Office, several tabs on browser, iTunes and occasionally streaming of netflix (just the basics, no game or something serious). Someone has advice or comments on what would be best? And if upgrading the hard drive seems to be a good option, does anyone have good recommendations?

  Here are the specs of my Mac:
  -Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
  -Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
  -Hard drive: 500 GB storage

  In addition, Yosemite (10.10.5) running on the machine without any problem even if it is sometimes slow.

  Thank you!

  Use it as it is. Why update the drive? If you run lack of storage space on the disk, delete some files or get an external drive and move some files on the external drive. Make sure that you back up your data.

  I want to switch the HARD disk like this I hope that the computer runs faster.  I'm a complete novice with respect to the operation of computers.  What to buy to upgrade the HARD drive?

  Will it also upgrade the installed memory?  If so, what to do?

  Everything I need to know?

  Thank you.

  See you soon,.

  Michelle,

  Try for battery HP to THE Bing search engine, I found several sites in line with the Chargers and batteries. BattDepot Australia seems to have decent prices... At$ 24.49 for the loader and THE $37,49 for battery. If you have not yet checked the HP battery reminder page, I recommend you do this first.
