• New larger HARD drive Validation

  Hello

  This is especially for the Lenovo support, when can we expect the validation of new th 5 to/to 6/8 to HARD drive currently on the market from various suppliers to make it on the official PX6 / list approved PX12?

  Some of the orders of higher capacity were already available for months and yet to see any official support fo these until now.

  We need a new NAS platform and the official support of these larger readers would certainly be helpful in the final decision.

  Kind regards

  Unfortunately we do not have a time on official recommendations yet. However, I am told it in the works.

• Satellite L500-128 using recovery on the new (larger) HARD drive discs

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba L500-128, the original 320 GB hard drive is just too small and I would like to avoid buying an external hard drive (for backup purposes), because in my experience, they are just rubbish and I want that all my data on the laptop.

  I wanted to buy a new hard drive 1 tb (maybe 2) put into it, I guess it is equipped to deal with, (Please someone correct me if they know otherwise) with 4 GB of ram...

  In any case I am really wondered, whether or not I can get out with the help of my new hard disk recovery disks.
  If they did it the old-fashioned way (sending an OS disc and a disc of pilots) I wouldn't even question, but as I created disks of the computer itself, I wasn't too sure when I opened the drives upward to make sure all burned on them ok, I never saw something like what I expected.

  Also, I read somewhere that someone else has tried it and it didn't work, they assumed because the recovery included an image specifically to fit the original hard drive size?

  Can someone enlighten us all please?

  Thank you

  Hello

  First, you must create the Toshiba Recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called pre-installed tool.
  Usually, you should receive a confirmation message that the recovery was created successfully.
  This means that you can use this disk to restore the laptop to factory settings is not serious what HARD drive is in use.
  This means that the recovery disc should work with the other drives.

  But note; This recovery disk using would format the HARD drive and remove all HARD drive partitions. But this should not bother you if you use the disk HARD vacuum ;)

• What is the best way to transfer the file to a new larger internal drive?

  I am running win 7 ultimate.  I had two hard drives of 500 GB.  C is partitioned to 120 GB (not enough) I just installed a 1.5 terabyte drive.  What is the best way to transfer my data? I would keep the 500 GB (now C: and D :) and add the 1.5 to, I also have a 2 external to that I tried to move my libraries at, but I'm confused my system.)  I don't know much about indexing or mapping.

  \

  Consider transferring all the files that are currently in the second partition of 500 GB drive that is hosting the C: drive (you have referred to as D :) on the new drive.

  Once you have done this, you can then delete the D: partition since this 1 hard drive. This would then extend the C: drive to actually use all the 500 GB drive. Finally change the drive letter for the 1.5 terabyte disk d: it in disk management ( Diskmgmt.mscRun)

  So in the end you have a 500 GB C drive and a 1.5 TB drive D.

  When it comes to move libraries Windows has a utility to do it for you. If you click on your username at the top right of the menu start all your user profile directories are displayed. If you right-click on each one and select Properties, those that support this feature will have a tab 'location '. In this tab, it displays the current location of the file, but has a button "move". You move the folder and all its files and subfolders in a new location and update the references, the system uses for this folder.

  So if you created a folder on the D drive say 'Juli-year' and you right-click on Favorites, some properties, then on location you can move this summary folder in C:\Users\username\Favourites to D:\Juli-An\Favourites. Not all folders in the user profile supports this but all the c library files and a few others.

  Of course if you did as I suggested and ended with a 500 GB C drive you may need.

• Need new BIOS for Satellite A30 - 404 to upgrade to a larger HARD drive

  I want to install a new (larger) disk on my Satellite A30-404.
  He says have Bios version 1.80.
  I probably need more recent (since it was purchased in 2003).

  Y at - it a newer version for this machine?

  Hello

  Latest BIOS version can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.
  Currently, the version of the BIOS 1.80 is available and published for the Satellite A30 PSA30E.

  By the way; a more recent BIOS will not help to use a bigger HDD!
  The point is that your laptop supports the Enhanced IDE (ATA-5).
  Since the ATA-5 interface supports the 28-bit LBA addresses you should be possible to use Max 128 GB OF HARD DRIVE. I think that this is the maximum size, which is possible.

  ===========================================================

  BCCode: 7A 0x0000007A

  The main causes of this error are virus/malware, drivers, memory, and disk damage. And
  It may even be combinations of those so meticulous control of all is needed. Possible addition
  the causes are such as the motherboard damaged material errors or other materials.

  BCCode: 7A 0x0000007A

  Cause

  Frequently, you can determine the cause of the error status (parameter 2) KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR bug check. Some common status codes are:

  • 0xC000009A or STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES, indicates a lack of non-paged pool resources.

  • 0xC000009C or STATUS_DEVICE_DATA_ERROR, generally indicates bad blocks (sectors) on the hard disk.

  • 0xC000009D or STATUS_DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED, indicates defective or loose wiring, termination or that the controller does not see the hard drive.

  • 0xC000016A or STATUS_DISK_OPERATION_FAILED, indicates bad blocks (sectors) on the hard disk.

  • 0xC0000185 or STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR, indicates improper termination or defective cabling devices SCSI or two trying to use the same IRQ.

  These status codes are common ones that have specific causes. For more information about other possible status codes that can be returned, see theNtstatus.h file in the operating system Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

  Another common cause of this error message is the defective material or failing RAM.

  A virus infection can also cause this bug check.

  
  Resolution

  Solve a problem of bad block: Generally, a status I/O of 0xC000009C or 0xC000016A code indicates that the data can not be read from the disk due to a bad block (sector). If you can restart the computer after the error, Autochk runs automatically and tries to map the bad sector so that it is more used.

  If Autochk does not scan the hard disk for errors, you can manually start the disk scanner. RunChkdsk /f /r on the system partition. You must restart the computer before the start of the analysis of disk. If you cannot start the computer due to the error, use the Recovery Console and runChkdsk/r.

  Warning   If your system partition is formatted with the FAT file system the long file names that use the Windows operating system could be damaged if you use Scandisk or another MS-DOS-based disk tool to verify the integrity of your hard disk from MS-DOS. Always use the version of Chkdsk that matches your version of Windows.

  Solve a defective hardware problem: If the State of e / is C0000185 and the paging file is on a SCSI disk, check the cabling and SCSI termination for problems.

  Solve a problem RAM failure: Run the hardware diagnostics feeding by the system manufacturer, especially the memory scanner. For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

  Check that all the cards in the computer are properly housed. Use an ink eraser or electrical contact treatment, available in electronic supply stores, to ensure the adapter card contacts are clean.

  Look in the Event Viewer system log for additional error messages that might help identify the device that is causing the error. You can also disable caching memory BIOS to try to resolve this error.

  Make sure that the latest Windows Service Pack is installed.

  If the previous steps do not solve not the error, take the system motherboard to a repair for the diagnostic facility. A crack, a scratched trace, or a defective component on the motherboard can cause this error.

  Solve an infection by the virus: Search your computer for viruses using any update, commercial software that examines the Master Boot Record of the disk hard antivirus. All systems of Windows files can be infected by viruses.

  Could be a driver related issue however less inclined than memory. Update your drivers
  manually looking at system and sites of the manufacturer of the device manufacturer.

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: (look for updates to the BIOS and the driver).

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive?

  I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive? The old drive is much too small.

  I'm not familiar with your model computer, but there are several ways to do so.  If the computer can accommodate multiple disks, you can install the new drive next to the former.  If she does not accept another disk, you can in these external adapters for about $30, which allow you to attach a bare drive to a computer with USB.  Then, you clone the internal drive to the new. Cloning is a special form of the copy.  It copies all files including startup system files so that your new drive is essentially identical to the first.

• Tecra S3 - impossible to duplicate the HARD disk of larger HARD drive

  I have a new Toshiba Tecra S3, I bought one a few years ago with a 100gig hdd.
  I'm running out of room and wanted to move to a larger capacity drive.

  I bought a WD 400 GB sata 5400 RPM and the Appricon Easygig 2 cloning software and the USB universal drive adapter.
  My first attempt I used the default settings and cloning went without problem, but the player does not start. I get the blue screen with an error message.

  I tried cloning with accurate corresponding partitions, same result.
  I tried to use the digital software West, the same results.
  I tried the Acronis software with all the different options, the same results.

  Given that my laptop came with the hidden recovery partition I don't have the original Windows XP pro disk, so I borrow one from a friend and tried to use the recovery of windows on the new drive I just cloned and could not find the hard drive at all.

  I suspect it has something to do with the RAID drivers, but I don't what to do at this point if it is.
  I don't want to start from scratch, I want just all what I have on my 100 GB to my 400GB clone.

  Interestingly, I have used the Appricon method on other SATA improvements on other laptops completely successful, but this Toshiba has me out of resources.

  Does anyone out there have a solution to my problem?

  Hello!

  Garret is right to integrate the RAID driver software Acronis.

  Therefore, you should use BartPE (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/).
  Install Bart PE and then copy the drivers RAID PE builder folder PE Builder\drivers\SCSIAdapter
  Create a folder for the drivers, and copy the drivers inside.
  In addition, you need the plug-in for Acronis True Image but I do not know Mr. you should find it on the site Web of PE Builder.

  Then, you can burn a bootable Windows CD. On this CD is also Acronis software and then you can clone it.

  Good bye

• New (MK6025GAS) HARD drive not recognized by S2410-304 s

  Hello

  I recently bought a larger HARD drive for my Satellite 2410-304 s, a Toshiba MK6025GAS with 60 GB of memory. I formatted with another computer, and then I put in my notebook and started from the WinXP CD. But he did not find a HARD drive... :-/

  Then I handed over my old HD and installed the new HD as an external drive (via Firewire). I had no problem using it, so I used Knoppix to copy my system partition to the new drive. Everything was fine, but when I swapped the drives, my computer could not find new HARD drive...

  I tried several times, but he always said I should check the cable etc.

  The latest BIOS is installed, then what else could be the problem? I am grateful for each index...

  Damian

  Hello

  Interesting problem.
  Do you have an error message when you try to start? Please put it back in the computer.

  If you go into the BIOS, you see that there is a used HARD disk mode (normally, it should say Enhanced IDE I think).

  If it looks good, can you start on some OS (CD or floppy) and use the utility for partitioning, it must focus on the disc? What it teaches you?

  He finds the disc? Is how big this report? Correct or some size weird? If it shows a strange size then it is a problem of translation between the physical characteristics of the disk and BIOS and that could be problematic to solve. Some diskvendors have a special driver that will help you in situations like these. I'm not sure that this will solve your problem, but it's at least worth a try.

  If you create a partition and format, it works as supposed?
  Next step is to make it bootable and try to boot from it.

  Good luck

• El Capitan stop built into the optical drive to work?

  Hi people

  I hear and read that El Capitan stop construction in the optical drive to work? I don't know if it's true, and other bugs.

• Replace T420s with a new SSD HARD drive

  Hello

  I wonderd if it is possible to replace with a new SSD HARD drive, while putting the HARD drive in the Bay of Ultra-slot.

  And if so, what SSD model should I buy, and how do I transfer the operating system and the data for the SSD?

  This SSD model will be compatible?

  Corsair neutron Series 120 GB SSD Sata III MLC 2.5 inches Retail

  Thank you very much

  Guy

  Yes, what you are proposing is quite feasible. You will need an adapter Ultabay to organize your HARD drive in the Ultrabay housing on your system. These are available from Lenovo, but are relatively expensive. You can get a much less expensive (~ $ 10) a compatible version on eBay. It is not as well finished as the real issue, but it works well.

  The best way to transfer everything on your SSD is "clone" of your HARD disk using a software as Acronis True Image. If your current HARD drive is made by Western Digital or Seagate you can get a free copy of Acronis on their Web site. Put the SSD in the SATA drive Bay and the HARD disk in the UtlraBay. Set the T520 to start from the Ultrabay, install/run Acronis here and make a clone for the SSD. Then boot from the SSD and you'll be all set.

  With respect to the SSD, many people here have had good success with Crucial M4, 520 Intel and Samsung 830. I guess that Corsair works perfectly as well, but I didn't know all messages from people here who have done so.

  Before ordering a SSD confirm if the HARD drive is 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick. Then order the same thickness SSD. This way, you will be able to use the metal rails caddy and rubber who now hold your HARD drive to contain the SSD.

  If your current system does not work, there is no need to bother with data backup, installation of applications and get a Windows XP installation CD (although regular backups are important to do as a general practice).

  Instead, clone your current hard drive to your new hard drive.  All you need is an external hard drive enclosure and disk cloning software.  In addition, once you have made sure that everything works correctly, put the old drive in the external box and use it for backups.

  Some of the cloning apps below are also disk 'images' (e.g. Acronis True Image).  A disk image can be compressed so that, for example 58 GB of data can produce a 40 GB image file.  Some of the apps, and of also can selectively backup specified files.

  The housings of external drives more to connect to a USB port.  Make sure just that buy you one with the good 'form factor' (portable = 2.5 inches, computer desktop/Tower = 3.5 inches) and internal drive connector.  Many but not all speakers can deal with SATA and PATA time.

  This example (for laptops) is not the less expensive external hard drive enclosure, but it's a decent case that can be used with either SATA or IDE (PATA) drives and comes with its own software package of cloning: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602

  It is a very good buy for a drive IDE (PATA) Office size: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602

  In general, Newegg is a good place for your search options by looking at the comments by users.

  If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):
