• 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.

• Should I initialize a New (New to this computer, but it's a backup with the DATA disk) HARD drive?

  I have an internal backup drive that I used for a computer that crashed.   Hard drive that had the operating system gone wrong. I'm sure that the backup drive (no operating system, only the Acronis backup data) is ok.  I took, put it in a box of hard drive and plugged on my other computer to get all the data out of it. It is recognized in but device manager not MY computer.   Information have read so far wants choose me to go to right click on my computer, Manage, and chose the disk management.  Then he wants me to initialize the disk. The information said once the disk initialized, I should be able to access all data on the disk.  I do? I don't want to erase all data on the disk. I prefer to take it to a PRO for $100 if there is even a small chance I could damage or erase the data on the disc. Please notify.

  Do not initialize the disk.  That would erase all data.  It is possible that the hard disk enclosure does not work right, causing Vista to see the player correctly as not initialized.

  Did you create Acronis Secure Zone on the drive for backups?  If so, you will need to use the same program from Acronis to access. It would be interesting to boot from the Acronis recovery disc and see if it can read backups. Boulder computer Maven

• NB550D - replace the RAM or HARD drive without voiding warranty?

  Hello!

  I noticed, that generally, Toshiba users replace their HARD drives and RAM memory without voiding the warranty.

  But I'd be happy to get official confirmation if NB550D netbook.
  Can I pass without problem, my material in this model?
  If it is relevant, I'm of the Poland.

  Thank you in advance!

  Hi dude

  Since it is only a user to user forum you will get no official confirmation here
  But you're right. The RAM and HDD Upgrade or replacement will not void the warranty.
  These pieces are extensible, and as much as I know that is mentioned in the user manual.

  Greetings

• The Inspiron 9200 HARD drive replacement

  I read some previous posts about the replacement of HDD for an Inspiron 9200, but is there a resource out there that I can use to determine if a HARD drive that I buy will be compatible.

  I currently use an IBM HTS726060M9AT00 (Hitachi 7 K 60) 60 GB drive. I don't want to maintain the 7200 rpm on my next purchase, but what other card that I need to know. Can I use SATA, or can I just use an ATA HDD?

  I'm just frustrated with this current drive, it is extremely hard and his last breath?

  Good reources out there with lists of hard drives? Maybe you have a good suggestion. I want to just make sure I don't buy an inconsistent player.

  Thank you for your help,

  Stav

• Hard drive replacement and warranty question Portege and Tecra models

  Good afternoon

  I'm hoping for a little clarity if a laptop warranty is invalidated if the hard drive is replaced for another title of model/difference. The company that I work buys models Tecra and Portege for these last years, if we decide to buy more large hard disks and get our IT Department install them will be that gap in the agreement of guarantee with Toshiba?

  I talked to Toshiba and they were a little gray in their response. They said that, if you didn't damage the laptop, it should be fine, but if you send it as an unrelated question, with what they can carry out repairs on the laptop if the hard drive does not match the orgional one provided...

  Can somone if this is the case? It seems ridiculous that you would not be able to replace the drive even if bought from an official and used dealer in a corporate environment.

  Kind regards

  Jonsey

  As much as I know RAM and HDD upgrade do not negate the warranty. For many models of laptops, you can find instruction how to do this. It is described in the document of the user s manual or you can find short videos on Toshiba documents (knowledge base).

  Even on this forum in the USER SELF REPLACEMENT section you will find instructions how to replace the hard drives.

  What you can also do is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and check what they say on this subject.

• Satellite L70-A-109: is-replace HARD drive empty my warranty?

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite L70-A-109, but I would like to replace the HARD disk with a disk hard solid state
  Now replace the drive HARD void my warranty?

  I can replace the ram and I see that the ram and HARD drive are under the same door

  Also if I can replace it without voiding my warranty where can I find the drivers?

  It seems, for my model, that there is no drivers well think I find the drivers for the normal series of L70 - A
  those are the same?

  I hope toshiba can help me with this question...

  Replacing the HARD drive does not affect the warranty.
  Here all the details and instructions how to replace the HARD drive
  [Toshiba Satellite C70 / C75 / C70D / C75D / L70 / L70t / S70 / replace drive HARD S70t | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU3703HG0000R01.htm]

  > I find the drivers for the normal series of L70 - those who are the same?
  Did you find another Satellite L70-A-xxx model on the page of the Toshiba UE driver?
  I imagine that you didn t.

  You'll find drivers choose L70 - A short numbers and additional satellite as PSKNEE, PSKN2E, etc.
  At the bottom of the unit, you will find a label providing different numbers.
  There is also a number something like this: + PSKNEE-00D003BT +.
  It's _Model_ part number and in this case to get the drivers, you need search satellites L70 - A PSKNEE.

  Hope you know how to search the drivers now.

• 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.

• I can't recover my system (DV6000) using recovery discs after replacing the card mother/HARD drive

  I have a DV6408nr (windows vista Home premium) I had to replace the motherboard and hard drive. When installing the new motherboard (same part No.: 443775-001) and insert the recovery (bought from HP) discs that I have, I received an error message stating that the PC could not be recovered using my disks. The serial numbers on the label service and in my bios do not match. When I entered the serial number of my bios in HPpartsurfer, he said that the system is a DV6449us. I already checked my RAM and HARD drive is brand new/not formatted. I used these recovery discs (manufacturer: 483905-003/483906-003) successfully before on other flags of DV series. Is there a reason why these discs should not work on two motherboards in the same system with these similar specs? What should I do to get my system recovered?

  The number of the motherboard and other show information in the bios of the new Commission?

  The numbers do not match the recovery disks or information is missing in the bios.

  If it's really a mismatch, then you will need to find the good recovery disks or use a Dell installation disk operating system and use the product key from the sticker on the laptop to get activated, and then manually install the drivers.

  If the bios tattoo is damaged or missing information only a used HP Center can then fix the tattoo.

• 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.

• Low beginning on Satellite M40-145 after changing the 160 GB HARD drive

  Hello

  I own a Satellite M40-145 since 2005. After more than two years without any problem, two weeks ago the 80 GB hard drive to the original address has been damaged. So I had to replace it with a new, 160 GB (this replacement was made in a store because it's out of warranty).

  I used successfully on the new HARD drive recovery CD to install Windows XP and all the drivers (just as when it was new).
  I used Partition Magic to create a partition of D for data. Also, I installed Office 2003, Norton 360 and connected to the Internet.
  It worked quickly with only small problems than perhaps with little patience I could fix: as this Bluetooth hardware is not detected and the wireless switch began with the lights off even being in the position we (it worked with new just switching out-lit again). But suddenly, after only one day of use, Windows starts became very slow. It takes about 4-5 minutes until it is possible to use the laptop.

  Now, I tried many possibilities to solve the problem, but always ending on the same problem: I used the recovery CD again and try to use the computer with or without updates (I thought that maybe the problem was due to a bad update), with and without Internet access, etc.
  I also tried in vain the program Microsoft Bootvis to try to speed up the startup, etc.

  I even created an image with Acronis to only with XP and Office running fast, so that I could install it again and try new things.
  I also tried to clean the registry with various programs like CCleaner, TuneUp 2008
  Also the defrag JKDefrag and PageDefrag. But always returning to the same problem after a few days of good conduct.

  I don't know what else I could do. I wonder if maybe the new HD is damaged (although I test and no error or no damage was detected) or if the update BIOS might resolve this problem (I'm not and that's a big risk).

  Please, could someone help me?
  Thank you very much for your attention.
  Pablo

  In my view, that there is nothing wrong with the software or all drivers on you laptop.
  I think the key is the enormous size of the HARD drive.

  The difference between 80 and 160 GB is huge.

  To my knowledge, the BIOS supports a limit on the size of HARD drive and I really wonder why the 160 GB HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS.

  However, I think you should test a 100 GB, 120 GB HDD if the same question perhaps if poster using a HDD a size smaller.

  Best regards

  Hello Fiona-s,

  Thanks for posting in the Forum of Support HP!

  I'm afraid that the HARD drive has failed - the question is material one and all simply restore/reinstall will not solve it. Yes, you need to replace the HARD disk new or better with the SSD. SSDS are up to 10 times faster than hard drives:

  > http://ocz.com/consumer/ssd-guide/ssd-vs-hdd

  > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

  There are more than 100 manufacturers and sellers SSD, but personally, I would choose Samsung, Intel, Toshiba, or OCZ ones.

  Microsoft Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 have supported for SSDS. Vista and XP - no

  You will need a recovery media to restore the windows once you have installed the new SSD or HARD disk.

  You can get possible by contacting HP Support. Here's how:

• Windows 7 will not activate with the OEM key, after the failure of HARD drive.

  Hello

  I was recently asked to repair my brother DELL laptop.  The HARD drive failed and the system unusable.  I replaced the HARD drive and installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 (earlier version of windows) from my own installation media.  The recovery partition had survived the failure of HARD drive, I would have just cloned that and used, but this was not an option in this case.

  The problem that I am experiencing, is that windows don't will not activate, saying that the key is not valid.  I was told that installing Windows 7 media would work with a retail or an OEM key, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  The key OEM I use, is from the computer it came from originally, and the only material change is the new HARD disk.

  I try to avoid ordering an OEM Dell installation CD, as which costs money (I already have my own installation CD) and takes time (why do they have them available for download?).

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  you use an OEM SLP key that only works with the manufacturers recovery media.

  change the product key to that on computers of COA
  Click Start, type slui3, press ENTER.

  Additional information:

  Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

  OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

  COA SLP: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)
