Satellite P30 - the Maximum hard disk size

Hello
I have a Satellite P30-141 with BIOS version 1.40 works with XP pro SP2.
The hard drive is a 60 GB model and I want to move to a larger model.
I think a 160 GB Seagate 5400.3 model but I'm not sure if the BIOS can support such a large unit. Did anyone done this before? What is the biggest player, that you put in your P30?
I also have the Hitachi 7K 100 100 GB as a second option if the Seagate won t work.
Thanks for your help.

Hello

I don't know about 160 GB and 100 GB should work without problems.

Good bye

  • The virtual hard disk size

    For worker Analyzer IO VM, it is recommended to create a larger second virtual hard disk that serves as a target IOmeter.


    Is the size of the virtual hard drive exactly the same workload working set size, which means that all data in the virtual disk is read from or written to storage during the race?

    Do you have other recommendations to decide what size the second virtual hard disk should be a VM worker?

    Thank you

    Rebecca

    Hi RS_1, it's useful, but I was looking for some additional tips for the user guide.

    I received responses from some of the developers of IO parser and also ran a few tests of my own.

    Iometer generates its I/O based on the number of blocks of target disc (i.e. the manually added virtual hard disk on the worker VM).  The size of the disk hard virtual will be be equivalent to e/s working set size.

    For a virtual hard drive that strikes only cache, a rule would be its size to 100 MB.

    For a virtual hard drive that hits the disk, the virtual hard disk could be sized anywhere from 10 GB to the top. The drive, / o most actually hits disc rather than cache.

    To do this, I created a 200 GB thin provisioned virtual hard disk for my e/s VM Analyzer worker. As I ran the Iometer workload, I could see the thin disc quickly increase from almost nothing to its size fully provisioned. This means that the new virtual hard disk sectors were continually being read and written by Iometer. Interestingly, it only took about 5 minutes to flesh out a whole 200 GB drive. Obviously, this speed would depend on the type of I/O profile used.

    I also tested a 20 GB disk Iometer vs virtual a virtual drive of 200 GB. Average latency, IOPS / s and flow were all better for 20 GB disk - because a greater proportion of e/s in this case was hit the cache, tilt the numbers positively.

    So, even at the drive hard virtual, sizes last 10 GB, size of the VHD will affect yet observed performance to Iometer.

    Hello

    A late response.
    A half year ago, I asked about the maximum size hard drive for the Satellite 1700-400

  • Portege M200 - what is the maximum HARD disk?

    Hello

    I need to know what is the maximum capacity of the hard drive that is supported by Portege M200.

    Hello!

    I guess that the Portege M200 is equipped with an IDE HDD interface. This means that the laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits and so it can only manage s HDD up to 128 GB. If you can use a 120 GB HARD drive in this notebook.
    If you want to learn more about the limitation of the LBA you can look on Wikipedia or here: [www.48bitlba.com].

    I have good experiences with Seagate drive HARD Hitachi s, but you can also buy another HARD drive. ;)

    I hope I could help you.

  • Maximum hard drive size in the Lenovo 3000 N100

    I have Lenovo 3000 N100

    It came with 100 GB hard drive 5400 RPM

    What is the maximum hard disk that can be used. Is it possible to only 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM?

    Thanks for the answer

    Abraham

    No, I'm this based on the Avenue of the planets. Kidding.

    I base this experience with laptops cheaper and lower quality supporting better hard disks, processor, etc. etc.

    Also the fact that some N100 configurations included a 250 GB SATA 5400 RPM hard drive. No reason why will not work a 7200 RPM drive.

    We invite you to seek advice elsewhere.

  • Is there a way to increase the size of the virtual hard disk? in the VM? ESXI 4.1

    HelloW to all.

    I created VM with the size of the hard drive of 80 GB and now I want to increase the size of the 80 GB to 150 GB drive does not add whit extra 70 GB partition but to increase the patitionn of 80 GB.

    Is there a way to increase the size of 150 GB of the virtual hard disk? in the VM? ESXI 4.1

    Thanks in advance.

    If the guest operating system is windows, then follow below process-

    Scenario-1 his drive is not the boot partition.

    1. click on the settings of the virtual machine

    2. Select the hard drive to increase and give the size you want (don't forget that you should have a free space available on the data store).

    3. go to disk to the virtual machine management, and then rescan disk (you will see the unused space)

    4. open the cmd/command prompt, then run diskpart by using the diskpart command

    5 then... the drive... After this list give the command "select disk 1" (1 is the disk you want to expand)

    6. After selecting the disk, type extend (extend order will extend the drive)

    7. exit diskpart.

    Scenario-2 If the drive is the boot partition.

    1. power of the virtual machine. (go on change settings of ==> click on the drive you want to extend ==> copy the path of the disc)

    2. go to any other test VM and add disk--> disk existing use ==> give the drive path that you want to extend ==> Assistant to finish.

    3. Select the hard drive to increase and give the size you want (don't forget that you should have a free space available on the data store).

    4. select disk of the virtual machine management, and then rescan disk (you will see the unused space)

    5. open / cmd command prompt, then run diskpart by using the diskpart command

    6. then... the drive... After this list give the command "select disk 1" (1 is the disk you want to expand)

    7. After selecting the disk, type extend (extend order will extend the drive)

    8 exit diskpart.

    9. go to change the setting of this test VM and select the hard drive... ==> click on remove virtual machine. (do not drive delete)

  • Satellite l.660-12 q - would the recovery disk rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition

    Talk about confusion. Does anyone know how to get a Toshiba C660 work after the HARD drive failed and the owner has stupidly NOT followed the instructions to make a recovery disk. Will be the recovery disk (if buy you one from Toshiba) rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition and install windows 7 (original OS) and accept the product key printed on the Windows license, attached to the base of the laptop. I have read a number of suggestions, but these have been considered incorrect by others.

    Surely, Toshiba must have a way to sort this problem.

    They read these messages?

    Hey Buddy

    I don't think it's really complicated, that I could find all the information about the recovery procedure in the user's manual

    The recovery disk must be created on the first day of purchase its recommended to create one in case something would be wrong with the HARD drive.

    The recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package containing Win system, drivers, tools and all the stuff pre-installed on the notebook.
    You bought the laptop and the system has already been activated so that you have need of t the key placed at the bottom of the unit.
    In addition, the use of the recovery disc formats the drive HARD integer (partitions too) and set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of the purchase.

    There is also another option to recover the notebook called HARD drive recovery. This HARD drive recovery requires no recovery disk. The recovery disc HARD would be to use format ONLY partition C (System).

  • Move the physical hard disks to new server

    First of all, before I have offend anyone wrong, yes there is a back-up. The "Extend reasons" why would I be willing to do this style of rough house upgrade are given below


    Simple explanation of the problem

    I have moved the physical hard disks (6 discs in the 0 + 1 array) in a HP Proliant ML350 G6 low for HP DL360 G5.

    The hard start and loading VMware 4.0 disks but no network connection. It shows the assigned static IP but no connection to the network.

    Also tested network cables. ;-) Firmware update on both boxes

    I have improved the VMware ESXi 4.0 to HP VMware hypervisor 5.1(1??) Edition, still no IP connection.

    Any Suggestions to get this NETWORK card IP address running?

    The drive in the array goes back to the system original and boots with work IP (and upgrading VMware 5.1 too)

    Extent of the reasons

    It is a small business with a single physical server, we borrowed a temporary server (used) from our supplier

    The current table (6 x 136 GB drives 0 + 1 array) has 408 GB of usable space. The person who made the initial VMware/OS load charge did not increase the block size for the Server Windows Small Business 2008 has a maximum of 320 GB volume

    Which is now max out.

    The goal is to have the production server upgraded to (8 x 450 GB drives 0 + 1 array) to 1.8 TB of usable space. Ideally the SBS 2008 will be migrated from the temporary server on the production server with sizes of block appropriate for larger volumes. The intensity of the current SBS has VMware unrelated corruption that would also give reason why we do not want the original charge on the new drives in the production box.

    It is also an Exchange Server which is critical for the company, I can't bring down the server for more information, then 1 hour without impact 7 x 24.

    The Back-up exists but isn't something suitable like a Veeam but is Microsoft Backup to disk iSCSI

    Hi, what I would say to access this server esxi through DCUI and access network configuration. If you can't see the network cards then you can also assign IP address from there for the management and you can also select NIC, you want only for management purposes.

    Thank you

  • Location of the bookmarks on an old hardrive that is not Windows, running but the old hard disk files are accessed through another hard drive.

    The old hard disk does not run Windows, so access to the usual file through Windows Explorer or Firefox has not worked for me. The old hard drive is now a slave drive and all files are intact and accessible via the new Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

    You have Windows configured to display the hidden files and folders? If not, do it as soon as the first. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7

    Then, what version of Windows do you have on the old drive? Your profile folder must be on the way there:

    Windows XP and earlier versions:

    \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Windows Vista and later:

    \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    If you find multiple profile folders, see the recent order. You find a subfolder named bookmarkbackups. This article describes how to restore the .json files, you will find: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.

    A little luck?

  • How to change the letter on the external HARD disk

    My drive external hard was originally on drive F, and with that, I got all my music iTunes also. However, for some reason, my computer stopped recognizing the F drive; the following message appears when you try to open this drive:

    "The drive or network connection that designates the shortcut 'F Drive.ink' is not available. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and then try again. »

    The problem I have now is that the external hard drive is now the G disk and iTunes does not recognize the path (G:\iTunes), I say to use, for example, my music is not loading properly and that a fraction is playable.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Hello

    I would recommend to change the external drive (g) to F letter.
    Do you know how to do this?

    After the external HARD disk is connected, you need to access the disk management and you will see the HARD drive (unique partitions) and other readers.
    Then you must mark the external HARD disk and should change the letter F.

    Perhaps the letter F was reserved for another drive.
    In this case, you need to unlock the letter F by assigning another letter to the reader that uses the letter F.

  • Is anyway to create fifth partition and keep the basic hard disk?

    Hi, my laptop is g7 1207se Pavilion and the and HP has made 4 partitions (C for windows) and the other 3 for system files and recovery, I want to create a new partition for my files (so I can recover my system without losing them) or install other operating systems, but apparently if I want to create fifth partition I have to convert my hard drive in Dynamics by the practice that I won't be able to boot from any partition but the C, which means no recovery and no other operating system.
