• PowerEdge T310 size maximum Sata HDD

  I would like to put a 6 TB of SATA HARD in a Dell PowerEdge T310 drive, but before you buy the car I want to know if it would work.

  I do not want to use RAID functions, let me just reattach the drive using SATA.

  On the technical specifications for the server, he said that SATA is 2 TB maximum internal storage is from 12 to.

  Kenny_G1892,

  With the T310, with SATA, technically drive 6 TB has not been tested, but it is not a limitation of current. Currently the largest, we propose you for the T310 is a 4 TB drive. I would say that it needs work, but remember that with some operating systems, there is a limit of 2 TB.

• Increases the size of the "HDD Recovery" folder on the partition "D".

  I am the owner of laptop Toshiba Satellite, recently, I noticed that my D: drive (unused) is saturated and after careful analysis I realized that the "HDDRecovery" file size is > 200 GB.

  I don't want to remove the file or remove image files inside that I need the functionality of recovery, but I have not a clue how to handle the recovery process to decrease the volume.

  Do you have an idea how this issue?

  Wojtek

  Hello

  It seems strange to me that the size of the HDD recovery folder would increase up to 200 GB continuously. Probably for laptop computer stores files backup automatically in this folder, but I m not very well why

  However, I recommend you to create a recovery media (recovery disk) using the Toshiba
  Recovery media creator (this software pre-installed on the Toshiba laptop).

  The use of disk recovery (or USB key recovery) would fix the laptop back to the factory and even if settings you should remove the folder in HARD drive recovery or the entire partition, this partition, and these files would be created again.

  Hope that this information could be useful for you.

• I can add a 2nd HDD on my Satellite A300 - 02c?

  Hi all

  I wonder if it is possible to add a 2nd HDD in my A300 - 02c?
  There is a HDD 2 slot, but no sata connector on the card (see the link to the image).

  http://www.NotebookReview.com/picture.asp?f=36752

  I wonder if it is possible to add the connector (by myself or by the customer service).
  If anyone knows if it is possible and where can I buy the sata connector... Please leave a comment :)

  Adrien.

  I think that there is nothing you can do about it.
  Satellite A300 comes with several different hardware configurations and several different mothers. Really, I don't think that you can add it in addition.

  FYI exact nearest maintainer contact authorized Toshiba and ask for help.

  If anyone has any experience with this stuff then the Toshiba service technicians.

• How can I install the 2nd HDD on my Satellite P200 - 14H

  Hello
  I want to know, how can I install the 2nd hard disk on my Satellite P200 - 14H and what I have to buy, because when I open the 2nd hdd slot, so I don't see anything about what I could add the 2nd disc

  Thanks, Filip

  Hello

  Maybe you don't see the second HARD drive connectors because the phone does not support the 2nd HARD drive?
  Not all laptops even if the 2nd HARD drive Bay is available, support two hard drives.
  Laptops come with different hardware and different motherboards, but with the same coverage
  So the bays for HARD drives are available, but the motherboard does not support the 2nd HARD drive interface.

• Size maximum step

  Hi BlueOne,

  We a have rumor no basis here in our Department which indicates the size maximum step is 6000.
  I just have to copy paste of 2PowerX with the declaring type.

  I kept sticking after 8192 steps inside the sequence
  and let it run. Œuvres - as supposed perfekt!

  So, just to clarify. There is a maxium step size?

  Concerning

  Jürgen

  There is no limit other than the amount of storage space and address available. I recommend you look at how much memory you use in the Manager of tasks and avoid going too over 1 gig. 32-bit processes are generally limited to 2 to 4 concerts, depending on the operating system and version of TestStand (if you use an operating system 64-bit and TesStand 2013 you must reconcile 4 shows available, so maybe 2 to 3 concerts could be allowed). If you create blocks of memory such as large paintings, you might start to get errors memory well before 2 to 4 GB but because there is not not a big enough continuous block of address space for such a table.

  Hope this helps,

• Pre-seed evaluation error 2000-0332, Inspiron 7720

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 7720. A few days ago, I have a suggestion of a Dell program to update my BIOS, which I have allowed. Update didn't seem to bring up all additional windows or a progress bar to let me know how would the update, but I don't think too much of it and let the computer do its thing.

  In general I just leave my laptop on nonstop and put to sleep when not in use (I remember reading somewhere on the departure of the user of Windows 8 guide just let it sleep instead of turning it off). Yesterday, I went home for Thanksgiving so that my laptop was in mode 'sleep'. When I tried to turn on my laptop, I noticed that it was no longer in fashion 'sleep' and had put off instead. Not much, I thought, but when I turned it on, I got an error screen in the sense of

  PXE-# Media test failure, check cable of

  PXE-#: exit Intel PXE ROM

  I found myself at the start screen, which allowed me to run the diagnostics. I left running and came across 2000-0332 error code in the form of assessment of pre-boot, who told me that something was wrong with my memory of the video card (abnormality of the video memory integrity test). After a bit of research on this code, it may have something to do with my BIOS and I should try for the flash. However, I wasn't able to do it through USB (I get the error "invalid or damaged bootable partition" when I leave the USB key in start) nor the CD (does not seem to the .exe on the CD is detected).

  I tried to get to the BIOS screen by pressing F2 at Dell logo but I always end up on the same screen which lists me my legacy startup options (I don't get the screens of typical BIOS that allows me to change my default settings, boot order, etc.). The choices listed are removable disk, CD/DVD/CD-RW drive, second disk and network. By pressing F12 does the same thing. I noticed that the hard drive is not listed so I though that maybe something was wrong with my HD, but the evaluation shows that it works very well.

  I'm really in ideas on what to do. If worst comes to worst, I can try to exchange it for another since I'm still in the trading period, but I prefer to keep my laptop current and its information.

  Hi Andresmou,

  I'm sorry for the experience. As the error is related to the video memory, I suggest to install (flash) the latest BIOS and run diagnostic tests. You can download the latest version of the BIOS from the following link by drilling in the Service tag and click on the "Drivers & downloads" tab:
  http://Dell.to/117d6Zu

  Please let me know the results of the test.

• Try to reinstall Windows 7 on an Inspiron 7720 - "OS not found" error

  Hello

  Then; I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 7720 with a reformatted hard drive and I need to reinstall windows 7. I do not have the original relocation provided with this exact laptop DVD but I don't have any Dell laptop to another (a Studio 1558) and another disc of Windows 7 from a desktop computer (drives and OS that was on the laptop before the failure of HARD drive are all Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - Bit). When I turn on the laptop with a drive and hit F12 and then select ' CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive' in the boot options screen displays "Operating system not found" immediately and remains on the screen until you restart.

  I perform a full diagnostic check and everything going on, I made sure the CD - RW drive is no. 1 in boot priority (not imagine that questions if I manually select it). The HARD drive and CD - RW drive are detectable in the BIOS too... I have no idea what the problem is, any help will be greatly appreciated!

  Many thanks in advance,

  Looks like the optical drive may be defective... You must try the new installation via the USB port. At this point, I would recommend arm SecureBoot and UEFI. Clean then install Windows 10 RS1:

• (Inspiron 7720) Cannot be started on the installation of Windows 8 media in UEFI

  Hello

  I just got a Dell's Inspiron 7720 (computers laptops 17 ") running on Windows 8. As usual, I want to reinstall Windows 8 myself to ensure that I have a clean install (and to be sure, I'll be able to do if I change my HARD drive). I want to do in UEFI mode and not in Legacy mode.

  • I tried to boot on Dell Windows 8 DVD (requested by phone, IE 8 64-bit Windows) by pressing F12 at startup: the only options are "Windows Boot Manager" and "Network Boot. No way to boot to DVD, Windows starts automatically.

  I went in the "Bios" by pressing F2 at startup (Startup tab):

  • I tried to disable "Secure Boot": no result, kept this option disabled.
  • I activated the Option Rom legacy: a new menu "Legacy Boot: ' allows me to start on the drive of DVD, but housing starts of start-up Mode Legacy, which is not allow me to install Windows 8: the installer says my partition table is GPT, so I can't select any partition on my discs to install the OS.
  • I tried to add a boot option with the name of the Boot Option as ' CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive': is in the list of system files "PciRoot (0x0) / Pci (0x1F, 0 x 2) /Sata (0x3, 0x0, 0x0) /CD" or 2 entries like "PciRoot (0x0) / Pci (0x1F, 0 x 2) /Sata (0x3, 0x0, 0x0) /HD'." ""» I tried all. I left the "File name" line empty. No results: the CD begins to spin at the start and then the operating system starts 2 seconds later. I tried repeatedly pressing "Enter" immediately after the choice of my new boot entry in F12 menu, same results.
  • I tried everything above with the operating system on a USB stick (formatted to Fat32 using this http://www.servethehome.com/uefi-bootable-usb-drive-windows-8-windows-server-2012/), no result. The light on the USB is indicating activity for 2 seconds, then turns off when Windows starts.
  • I tried to start my DVD and my USB on a new Inspiron 660 (office): a line is automatically added in the F12 boot menu and I can start on the DVD or USB in UEFI mode (and I can reinstall Windows), so my devices seem not to be the problem.
  I spent two hours on the phone with a Dell technician, and he was not able to solve my problem.
  It seems to me that Dell has not even attempted to check whether their own DVD of Installation OS works on their computer
  I think I need to write something in the "File name" box when you add a new Boot Option. But why? I forgot something?
  Thank you in advance for the time you spent reading this.

  OK I solved the problem. It's very simple, but obviously the bios needs an update: the one-time boot menu (the one launched by pressing F12 at startup) does not work in the UEFI.

  So, how to start on the DVD in UEFI mode:

  • Insert the DVD into the drive
  • Start your computer by pressing F2 to enter the Bios
  • Go to the Startup tab
  • Add a boot option with the name of the Boot Option as ' CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive' and check that the 'CD' in the end enabled, as "PciRoot (0x0) / Pci (0x1F, 0 x 2) /Sata (0x3, 0x0, 0x0) /CD'." Let the empty file name entry.
  • Put the new entry before 'Starting Windows Management' in the UEFI Boot section.
  • Save and restart.
  • When asked, press a key to boot from the DVD. DO NOT USE one-time F12 BOOT MENU: by SELECTING ' CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive' will NOT WORK.
  When Windows is reinstalled correctly, just change the new boot order or delete the boot entry you created before. Never use the single start menu unless you want to start in Legacy mode (it works).
  I can't believe I lost so much time on this... I hope this will help.

• Inspiron 7720 SE 17 ": how to connect two external monitor?

  Is possible to connect this laptop external monitor 7720 to two (don't mind if computer screen is disabled or duplicate).

  I have two samsung 21 '' monitor (HD).

  If so, how?

  Hi, I would like to participate.

  I wonder if one of you can confirm that it is impossible to use this inspiron 7720 in a configuration triple monitor (no duplication but only stretching from the screen)? I wonder because it is usually possible with maps of optimus and win7/8 but not this time - could only manage to run 2 of the three.

  And to answer riscy00: Why use a splitter? Simply use HDMI and vga, and turn off the screen of the laptop. I did it today.

• The maximum size of the HDD in Portege A100

  My hard drive 40 Gb in my Portege A100 age of 3 years. just died. I was wondering how big a hard drive to buy while it will be recognized by the BIOS?

  Someone in the internet used a 60 GB HARD drive in the Portege A100 and it worked.
  Maybe a 80 GB is possible, but there is no statement official on the size of HDD supported and compatible.

  The best way is to test different sizes with a distributor of HARD drive.
  Thanks for posting a comment after the HARD drive test

• The maximum size of HD in Inspiron 6000

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me, I'm new on this.

  I would like to get a new hard drive for my wife's computer.  I had a few crashes, error messages make me think that my HD is dying.  I have re-formatted a few months ago at once and he ran through CHGKDSK, but the problems are back.  The computer drives 4 years now.

  Here are my coordinates systems, using the tool I found on the wire ' what to include with your message.

  Dell Insipron 6000
  XP Home SP2 Build 2600
  1.6 Mhz Intel Pentium M, 64 KB l1, 2048 Kb L2 (I think 800 Mhz)
  MO: Dell 0J5165, bus clock 133, Bios A09 28/09/05
  2 GB of Ram (533 I think)
  Intel 915GM/GMS, 910 GML Express chipset
  SHP screen 15.4 Dec2004
  HD: Toshiba MK3021GAS 30 GB RevGA129D

  Here are my questions:

  (1) does make sense to bother to change the hard drive.  For the $$, I'd be happy if he won me a year or two.  This seems worth it.

  (2) is it worth going with a 7200 RPM.  Noise and heat may frustrate more speed.  I read that the speed difference is barely noticeable.  I wonder if it would be noticed at all on a system without a video card.

  (3) what is the size of maximum HD that can take this computer?  This is my real question.  I have conflicting information, which is very confusing.

  a. when I put my service in the Dell website tag I get 4 options, 3 are HDs dell I don't want not to bother with, the fourth is a WD 160 GB, 5400 RPM Scorpio WD1600BEVE.

  b. I had a dell sales agent tell me over the phone that it was guaranteed to work.  in fact I could put up to 320 GB in and it would be all recognized (they got my number from service).  She was happy to sell me the 250 GB, since it was listed as compatible, but it was out of stock.

  c. I had seen on several forums, which, much different maxima, ranging from 120 to 250, however, those who bought this disc only see us 128 MB and some saw all 160.

  d and this is the kicker.  I had a Technical Support agent Dell tell me bluntly that 100 GB is the maximum for my system (they got my number from service).  This same agent also said, in words not equivocal, the reader very I've watched, the WD1600BEVE, was an external hard drive., and that the Web site and the consignee were wrong.  BTW - he was happy to sell me the Dell 100 GB drive for $ 100 MORE than the WD 160 GB.

  So I really hope someone can help me understand this.  I would like to get the 250 GB if I can (I already have all the discs I need) but with all these contradictory answers, I can't decided.

  Last question, if I buy the 160 GB of dell and I don't see that 120 GGB of space will only damage anything?

  Thanks again in advance for the help.

  
  

• Inspiron (7720) Boot from mSATA Instructions

  Bought a special edition of the Inspiron 17R (7720) this week to replace my old Inspiron 5100 beloved who died last Thursday after nine years of being the best computer I've ever owned.  Has decided to pass the 32GB mSATA chip to a 128 GB and use it as OS disk, reserving the disk of 1 TB of storage as only linking the mSATA is much faster to use it as a cache for the tray.

  As has been discussed on dozens of threads (here and elsewhere) that I read today, the Dell BIOS doesn't recognize the mSATA as bootable, or from UEFI or legacy.  Then, mounting on the dead ends that I came down, here's what I have to operate:

  1 acquire new mSATA drive.  Mine is a Crucial 128 GB m4.  (I don't know whether or not the rest of it would be to work with the Council of 32 GB by default, but 32 GB is terribly low for a modern OS.)

  2. acquire a Windows 8 installation DVD.  (Dell does not include it with the package is the only complaint I have about my purchase.  OS install media should ALWAYS be included with an OEM PC.  A-l-w-a-y-s.)

  3 turn the laptop, remove the battery, remove the cover from the bottom (only 2 screws, well made, Dell).  Now, remove the 1 TB HARD drive (4 screws, but slides easily) and set it aside.  Then replace the 32 GB mSATA drive existing with your new, bigger mSATA player (1 screw).  I have a 128 GB, but it should work as well with a 64 or 256 GB.  Replace the cover and the battery.  At this point, both the regular SATA slots must be empty.

  4. start the PC, press F2 to go to the BIOS.  Insert your Windows 8 (or 7, it should work with Windows 7 as well) DVD.  Go to 'Advanced' and set operations the Intel Smart Response on AHCI SATA.  Go to 'Start', set up Secure Boot to disabled.  Then set the load run Legacy Option to "Enabled".

  5. move the CD/DVD/CD-RW-above hard drive under the new start menu in the legacy.  Press F10 to save and exit.

  6. your PC should now start from the Windows 8 DVD in the drive (NOTE: you should also be able to do this with a USB key, if it is properly formatted).  Follow the on-screen installation process to install Windows 8 on the mSATA disc.  Once installation is complete, you should be on the Windows desktop.  Shut down the PC.  (NOTE: I tried with the HARD drive that is still inside, but it was disk 0 and the SSD was disk 1 it would install only my DVD of Windows disk 0, so I highly recommend you to remove the HARD drive before you try to install Windows on the mSATA SSD.)

  7. once more, remove the battery and the back.  Replace the 1 TB HARD disk drive in the primary SATA slot where you removed in step 3.  Replace the back cover and the battery.

  8. start the PC from your DVD of Windows 8 again.  On the partition of Windows 8 configuration screen, delete all existing partitions (it's like six of them) on disk 0 (the 1 TB of HARD drive).  Install Windows on the disk newly empty.  You should see him also, as disk 1, your mSATA SSD, ignore it for now.

  9. the PC will reboot, and you should leave it to an office of current Windows to run on the HARD drive.  Go to computer (just type in the search option on the "charms" on the right side of the screen in Windows 8), you will see three disks, the one you are on, the system recover the mSATA SSD disk and the first partition on the mSATA SSD.  Note the drive letter of the primary partition on the SSD.  Mine was E:\, but yours may be different.  You can verify that it is the right due to the amount of available disk space.

  10. download an install EasyBCD:

  http://www.Softpedia.com/get/system/OS-enhancements/EasyBCD.shtml

  11. start EasyBSD.  Click the "add a new entry".  Set name "SSD" or something similar, and set the primary partition on your SSD drive.  (Again, mine was E:\.)  Click Add entry.

  12. on the left side of EasyBSD, click on modify Boot Menu.  You should see two entries, one for 'Windows 8' or something similar to "SSD" (or whatever you named in step 11)  Delete the one that says 'Windows 8' so that the only entry is the one that you just created, "SSD" in this example.  Save the settings.

  13 eject the DVD from your PC Windows 8.

  14 restart.  (If you wish, you can push F2 to return to the BIOS and HDD on the CD/DVD/CD-RW-drive in the boot order of inheritance).

  15. your PC should now boot directly to the installation of Windows 8 on your mSATA SSD.  To check this, turn on computer, you should see three disks, your C:\ drive With 100 GB or so free OS (on a 128 GB drive), a "System Reserved" disk (350 MB HARD disk) and the much larger primary partition (also on the HARD drive).  You can go to control panel | System and security | Administrative Tools | Computer management | Disk management and delete the primary partition on the HARD drive.  (Always best to let the system reserved alone, especially because it is paltry 350 MB.)  Once the primary partition is deleted, you can use the rest of this spacious 1 TB drive for what you want.

  That's all.  You now have only one copy of Windows running on your player mSATA that your PC will start automatically and the main HDD for storage.

  SUMMARY: Yes, this process involves installing Windows twice, firstly on the mSATA drive, then back to the HARD disk.  But since the Dell BIOS will not show the mSATA drive in the boot order, you must partition on the HARD disk to tell the computer to boot from the mSATA SSD.  With EasyBSD, it is just a few clicks to tell the boot record on the HARD disk (which does not appear in the BIOS boot options) at the start of the mSATA SSD (who does not appear in the BIOS boot options).

  NOTE: I don't know if it will be an optimal procedure for speed, security or anything else.  I know that it will work.  If you want a clean, without installing bloatware Running Windows 8 off the mSATA drive on this laptop model, the above should do it for you.

  Yes Im so happy it worked, I put in a 128 GB Plextor M5M in the msata, quick blazzing it hits 500, but as Sata II is capped, my SSD is maxed out at HDTach, then in Bay 1 I a new HGST Hitachi 1 TB sata iii travelstar 7200 RPM drive I had for 69.99 and in Bay 2 original 5400 RPM drive , I'll probably be being sold and put into another HGST, these are fast and great energy saving. Then I advanced and got 16 gb (8gbx2) of 1600 patriot signature ddr memory. Its the 3d version with the blu ray drive, at the end, the stats are sick
