Success story on the installation of hard drive of 160 GB to a Satellite M30 106
Hello
I upgraded my Satellite M30-106 with a 160 GB HDD and it works brilliantly. The hard drive I bought is disc Hitachi 5 K 160 PMR - my only worry was bios (someone suggested he can not see) but it went smooth. I have no worry about power because the new takes less energy (it runs faster however). I have not noticed any hitch or any strange behaviour and I admit to more than a month now and it has been widely used.
Best regards
Swarvek
PS. Sorry to start a new thread, but man, it has been locked.
PS2. I also brought up my memory some time ago to 1 GB - kingston value ram has been around - this laptop doesn't seem to be too fussy about memory.
Man, it's good, because one of my friends was about to publish a thread about upgrading its M30 because he didn t know if a disk over big then 100 Gig will go into his machine.
Well, I must say thank you for your experience posted here. :)
Have a nice weekend

Query related to the installation of hard drives
Original title: hard drivesI have two hard drives and I want to set up as1. a stand-alone hard disk that holds the operating system2. the second hard drive to keep the files like doc, files, photos, video, and downloads.How can I do this?Thanks in advance.It's just a matter of creating a partition on the 2nd HARD drive. Then you can use it for whatever you like.
You can install programs, or just use it to store data.
HARD drive with a speed lower than 7200 RPM are generally best left to the storage (Western Digital Black are
7200 RPM. Their VelociRaptor is the record of 10 000 rpm).
Software load a little slower and may run more slowly on the 5200 RPM HARD drive. Are the 'Greens' HDD
usually about 5200 RPM.-If you run short on the HARD the OS disk space is a way to create more space
move your music, photos and video to the other HARD disk records.A method to move the folders in your main user folder is to R / click the respective folder
and go to Properties.
Click the location , and then select the partition or folder on your HARD drive that you want to move
This folder is a subfolder of.
After data is transferred, it will be a new shortcut to this new location in libraries.-If you do not use the libraries you can simply move the data to a new folder on the other HARD drive
(without using the 'rent' option) and pin a shortcut from the new folder to the
Icon from the Windows Explorer in the taskbar.[If you also need information on how to set up partitions and otherwise manage the HDD-]
The two HARD drives should show up in disk management. This is where you create or delete partitions on your
HARD drives
Go to control panel (or start menu) > administrative tools > computer management.
Then click on disk management.
-The HARD drive with the operating system will say - ( system, start...) Main partition). It could be either disk 0 or 1 depending on the port on which the HARD drive is connected to the motherboard.
The other disk HARD would have "unallocated space" If no partition was made.
If the disc already has data, then it must also propose in the Start Menu > computer and data
should be accessible and ready for to add you more data.
If the 2nd HARD drive has no data that you have just made a new Partition. With a drive of 80 GB HARD is a single partition
generally the best option for the management of space.You can get more details on how to use the disk by typing disk management management in the
Search box Start > Help and Support.

AndreaI think that this old notebook to old IDE connector so please be sure of the former is back with a new.
80 GB capacity will be OK.Best thing you can do is remove the old HDD and check if the HARD disk is connected directly or with the small adapter. M30 is old model laptop and I do not exactly remember what it looks like but, in general, I sure you can use this disc HARD m.
In the worst cases send it back.

Cursor flashing at the start of the system and hard drive not working do not on the other computer
Original title: I need help with my Hardrive
Recently I had problems with a hard disk of computers. So I'm going to give guys the full story, I fell on this computer, it's actually my mums computer and it had a blue screen at startup error. I'm sorry, but I don't remember that the error was called on the top of my head, basiclly I quikly searched online and alll they say should use fixboot. So I did and the computer booted Windows XP very well. So the next day, when I was starting the machine (just to let you know, it would be the first start since I used fixboot, other than the right after that, I don't know if it would make a difference).
In any case, while trying to start, there was just a slider, or as underscore that retain just flashing in top left corner. I thought that maybe I should reinstall windows on another partition so my files would be safe. I did it, the installation program had no problem with it, but when I booted up I got the same line of flashing underscore / cursor in the upper left corner.
I thought that maybe I should back up the hard drive using my other computer so I tried to plug in the hardrive in my work computer and the hardrive started to heat up and as if it worked but any hardrive was getting into my computer, I refreshed it, started the computer upward once again, nothing.
So my question is what is the problem with this hardrive and how I save? I'm ready to do anything, use the live CD, using another computer. I have precious moments of family on the hardrive.
Thank you guys
Hi Joemost,
As you have important data on the hard drive. We recommend that you contact the vendor of hard drive to diagnose hard drive or visit the nearest tech store to save your data.
There are chances that the boot files are missing on the computer and also you could have not connected the hard drive as a slave when you connected to the other computer. Once you have saved the data, you can repair the existing windows and check if it starts successfully.
Try these steps to repair install Windows XP:
a. start the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the boot order in the BIOS OF THE system for the CD starts before the hard drive.
b. on the "Welcome" screen, press ENTER to start the installation of Windows.
c. accept the license agreement and Windows will search for existing installations of Windows.
d. Select the XP installation you want to repair in the list, press R to start the repair.
e. the installation program copies the necessary files to the hard disk and restart. Do not press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will continue as if it were a clean install, but your applications and settings are preserved.
f. when the installation is complete, check if Windows starts correctly.Visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

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.

Is it possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?
I wonder if it is possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?
If 'yes', I guess I have to go for a SATA SSD if there is. But I have to worry about other specs?
If 'Yes'... what could be.
I googled my question but no answers... so I ty Wizzards :-) Forum
In fact, this is not true. As long as he uses a large SSD enough it will be able to use the recovery media. I suggest using a SSD of 256 or 512 GB if budgeted for the upgrade...
He doesn't have to make a Windows 7 installation USB drive and use the activation key license on the certificate of authenticity from the PC Windows to perform a cleanup to install.
One of them should be on your PC. The Prodct key is what is needed for installation and activation online.

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

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.

Hi all
I have a Satellite L70-A-139 youcef.
And at the back of the laptop, there is a cover that is fixed with a screw.Wil I void the warranty when I unscrew and take a look?
I want to upgrade my HDD to SSD.
The motherboard supports Sata III: D.Thank you!
No, the mandate must still be valid.
There is a removable cover at the bottom of the unit as shown here:

I think this info should be mentioned in the user manual too. -

I can't reinstall drive would work I had been a responsible adult and created the disk when the laptop is new because the disk is smaller.Is it possible to reinstall the original Windows 7 Home Premium operating system of the copy of the HARD drive recovery Partition?
> Is it possible to reinstall the original Windows 7 Home Premium operating system of the copy of the HARD drive recovery Partition?
No, to my knowledge, this is not possible, even if you copy the contents of the recovery of HARD drive on the new partition on the new HARD drive, HARD drive recovery option does not appear in the advanced boot menu.
So, it seems you need to order a new drive to get here:

Product: F9J38UA #ABA
Model: 17-e117dx
Thank you
Not in the way you probably do. Here is the Service Manual:
See Page 50. Unlike the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv7, Pavilion 17 has that a single hard drive Bay. The only way to add a second hard drive is to remove the DVD (optical drive) and insert a DVD to the hard drive bay adapter. The manual shows how to remove the DVD player and you can buy the adapter at amazon.com or jacobsparts.com. Note that this is a 9.5 mm thick disc, not a 12.7 mm. Both types are available. I do not recommend the adapter DVD player solution because you lose the use of the optical drive, and also because the interface of optical drive is usually not as fast as the main hard drive interface. Always fast enough for simple storage and you can run a video of her, but you do not want to edit the video of this disc, for example.
https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/
If you decide to go the route of adapter DVD I would buy a large capacity 5400 RPM SATA 2.5 inches wide and drive hard thickness 9.5 mm. No sense in buying a reader more expensive high-performance.

Hello
does anyone know what RPM disk hard m60 turns to?
That means Smart in the specification of HARD drive?
Thank you very much
PanosPanos Hi,
In my view, that the hard drive in the M60 turn 4 200 RPM.
S.M.A.R.T. means Self -Monitoring hasnalysis and Rinputs of technology. A system in which the hard drive can monitor his own health and report on potential failures before they occur.
