• If I swap hard disks of your laptop to another can be used without formatting (Toshiba Hp)?

  What happens if I buy a new copy of Vista and try a Windows repair? My Hp died so I figured I'd just get a new laptop and swap hard drives (not so easy). I have programs that need costly upgrades to run on windows 7 (with no advantage for me except it runs on windows 7). Any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  the answer to your question is: No.

  You can not legally Exchange Vista OEM preinstalled under license hard drives between machines and different brands

  they will not work even less activate due to different mothers, bios, licenses maps, etc.

  the HP Toshiba vista systems come preinstalled and as such, they are the OEM licenses

  OEM licenses are tied to the 1st machine that they were initially installed on

  OEM license dies when the computer dies

  Microsoft sells more vista

  they moved on windows 7

• Swapping of hard disks in X 200 tablet, help!

  I'm trying to swap the 5400 RPM 160 GB of this stock came with a 7200 RPM 160 GB for our Director. The new hard drive is completely empty WITHOUT service partition that I can see. I made the recovery of the original disc disc, but when I try to restore it on the new drive, it is said that it cannot because there is no partition on the disk. I start in DOS and FDISK sees only about 15 GB in both old and new drives instead of the 160 GB. What is the best way to transfer my install XP from the old HDD to the new?  Thanks in advance for any advice...

  Adam

  OK, so I tried to do a full restore with the option of hard disk full restore and it did not work, me still have no the message of partition. However, the restore factory default option worked like a charm, even if it took about an hour and a half to restore what I can deal with this.

• How to find out really currently used physical memory and swap space of hard disk to the virtual computer running?

  Suppose that I'm leaving WinXP hostOS a guestOS. Then a part of this guestOS remain in physical memory and another part is deployed on hard drive in the swap file resp swap partition.

  First question: the complete *.vmdk loaded into memory/swap space or only the part that is currently required?

  Perhaps only a *.vmdk 800 MB / 3GB is really responsible. But these 800 MB could be extended to 2 GB, because the content of these 800 MB is not compressed during load or guestOS drivers allocate additional memory.

  *. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

  How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

  The vmdk is not loaded into memory, because it is the drive of the virtual machine.

  *. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

  Yes, of course not. The memory used by the client is not related to the size of hard but the RAM assigned in the options of hardware reviews.

  How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

  Open the Task Manager and find a task vmware - vmx.exe or vmware-vmx - debug.exe.

  The swap file should be used if you have chosen to allow that VMware Workstation is authorized to Exchange. The file where swaps to door expansion .vmem Workstation. Search folder of comments.

• Silence X 230: Swap HDD to SSD or install mSATA SSD HARD disk?

  Hello

  I have a x 230 with a 320 GB of HDD (7500 RPM) and want to replace it with an SSD for a fully automated machine.

  Right now, most of the time the only sound I hear the machine is the rotation of the disk HARD and TP Fancontrol watch that especially fans are not at all turns. I can afford a 128 GB SSD, but I am confused if I should replace the HDD with a SSD or complete with an mSATA SSD and install Windows, instead. The latter of course would give me 320 GB of HARD drive space, which would be nice, but my priority is the silence, so I need to know if the HARD drive can be powered completely except when I need files from it? If the HARD disk wakes up now and then because of some hidden Windows processes that I can't control, I'd rather than with an ordinary SSD instead of the mSATA SSD. I can live with less space.

  Does anyone have experience with this?

  Thank you

  If you install your operating system and applications on the mSATA ssd and just use the HARD drive for file storage then I think the HARD drive will only turn up when you access these specific files.

  Control Panel (Power Options) and Lenovo Power Manager settings for the hard disk turns off after a period of inactivity. However, the settings apply to all readers. Individual hard drives have no separate settings. I think that the system will not shut down the drive hard as long as there is activity going on in an mSATA SSD.

• Portege S100 - upgrade after cloning BSOD & HARD disk

  Hi all

  I wonder if anyone can help me please. I have a laptop Portege S100 with a standard 80 GB drive. I want to upgrade to a 200 GB drive.
  Here's what I did.

  I ran Acronis to save an image of the 80 GB HARD drive. All backed by an external USB disk and checked. I inverted the readers and restored the image on the 200 GB drive. All restored and verified.

  I restart the PC with the new hard drive in place. "Windows XP" logo comes up, then aarrgh blue screen. Stop x7B.
  Swapped the old disk, system boots fine.
  Check in the BIOS, with the old hard drive in place that the RAID configuration is enabled by default

  New swap disk, JBOD configuration is enabled in the BIOS. Could this be why it is not booting? If I want to activate the RAID configuration, it is ok, but I'm told that it will wipe the hard drive!

  I have no qualms about wiping the new hard drive, but it will work? If I change the RAID configuration, then restore the image? The only reason why I have not done it so far is because it took some time to create the image, and then writing it back on the new disk and at that time there the owner of the laptop is needed it back. !

  Help appreciated!
  Thank you very much
  Alex

  Hello!

  Can you post the BSOD detailed please?

  I'm a little confused on RAID m parameters are you wrote. As I know the Portege S100 can handle only a single HARD disk.
  In addition, you must use the same settings as with the old HDD RAID.

  Maybe the SATA controller has a limitation of LBA 28 bit and can't handle a 200 GB HARD drive. In this case, the larger HARD drive should have 120 GB. Here you can learn more about the limitation:
  http://www.48bitlba.com

  Last but not least, you can see the new HARD drive for errors. Maybe it s faulty. For this, you can use the Drive Fitness Test:

  Sorry, but for the moment I put t have more ideas.

  Good bye

• Qosmio G15R - built by HARD disk error

  Hello

  I get an error message that says "built in hdd error" when starting my laptop. The laptop has 2 HARD drives. A 40GB and the other 60 GB.

  I tried both in the slot to HDD1 and I still get the same message. I was able to use the recovery disk on the 60 GB HARD drive and was able to boot the laptop. He worked for an hour then I got the same message from disk again. Everything is plugged in fine.

  Can anyone help?
  Thank you.

  Hello!

  Have you already tried to install Windows on the 40 GB as suggested boarder?
  And have you checked the 40 GB or 60 GB using Drive Fitness Test?

  If Drive Fitness Test doesn't indicate a mistake I guess that the HARD disk controller is defective. This controller is welded/fixed on the motherboard and so you have to swap the motherboard together.
  It's a little tricky. Of course you can try it yourself, but an authorized service provider can do for you.

  Good bye

• swapping hard drives between 8115-PXI and PXI-8105 won't boot to the top

  I have a test system running Windows XP on the PXI-8105.  I have upgraded the full test for another project system and upgrade my existing systems; the upgrade works on Windows 7 and PXI-8115.  I have Windows 7 and the new test software of new hard drives that have been loaded/configured/tested on a PXI-8115, but I need to modernize the PXI-8105 with them.  It does not work.  Windows begins to start, but fails and trying over and over again.  In order to make the PXI-8105 offline to troubleshoot, I replaced it with the PXI-8115 and the old disk (WinXP).  It did not start, either.

  Here is a summary of my situation:

  • An old a PXI-8105 system running Windows XP
  
  
  • A new system has PXI - 8115 Win7 running
  
  
  • A hard drive (with Win7) since the PXI-8115 does not start on the PXI-8105
  
  
  • A hard drive (with WinXP) since the PXI-8105 does not start on the PXI-8115

  What is different between two controllers PXI that prevents me to swap hard drives?

  A technician with 'the knack' discovered a device driver conflict.  We have removed this driver and Windows was able to use a generic driver to start correctly.  Bob's my uncle.

• How to change the application installed HARD disk?

  My PC following setting:

  C: is for Window XP OS

  D: is installed application

  because the disc is not enough space and need to buy a new SATA III HARD disk after formatting under drive Z:

  I copy everything in D: z: readers and I would exchange the disks for the following parameter:

  D: old drive will become Z: drive for backup

  Z: old disk will become D: drive for installed application, because many applications and installed adjustment use the D: drive for application, so I'd like to preserve the D: drive for application, but I get no idea on how to swap the disks.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

• Need help with my hard disk configuration

  Hi guys,.
  Ive read a lot about the best configuration of hard disk for my editing video pc... but I need some feedback. Here are my specs. Im running Windows 10 with this HD configuration. I use my system for Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Lightroom, and After Effects.

  1 SDS drive 250 GB operating system, program files, swap file

  2 HDD (sata III) of disk 2 TB stockmedia / assets / my documents

  Disc 3 HARD drive (sata III) projects 2 TB

  4 drive HARD drive (sata III) 750Go export/renders, PP previews

  5 HARD drives (sata III) of disk cache AE, PP, scratchdisk photoshop, captured 750Go audio/video media cache

  
  

  If it would be really beneficial to my performance, I also have another HARD drive disc (sataIII) 2 TB which I could build in the case.

  It looks all right? Or you guys change anything? I have a RAID configuration, but what I understand... RAID 3 or 5 would have need of more disks (same size preferred) and preferably a hardware controller. But my budget will not allow this for now.

  Thanks in advance for your comments guys...

  You probably already read this, but if you do not page Tweakers: Disk Setup

  you drive configuration looks good, you can use the windows resources monitor to determine if the readers are struggling as well.

  If I had to change something, I would try 2x2tb raid 0 (disk 2 and 3) for media/assets/projects using mbd raid (if your mbd supports raid). I might even try to add the spare hard drive 2 TB, 3x2tb RAID 0 for performance even more. If 'my documents' is just random storage (not for your active video projects), you can move to another drive out of the raid, as the 4 drive or another room to spare. Since you already have these parts, raid can be a good way to boost performance for free. any raid can add some risks more data loss, so you just make sure that your backups stick to the currents. You can save a copy of the project first (just the file .prproj) in a few different places at the end of your editing sessions, or use auto-enregistre to another location, to avoid having to save as much.

  Moreover a unique fast sata ssd is comparable to 3 hard drives in raid, so you could look (s) ssd, sata for better cheaper and simpler vs an expensive hardware raid card. SATA ssd prices keep falling off and show no signs of slowing down, so if/when you get some later, they could be even more affordable.

• Drive light external HARD disk Warrior exploded

  I use DiskWarrior do a reconstruction of the hard drive to save the files, if possible. Hard drive does not appear on the desktop, which had been seen as a USB device on system information. During the reconstruction, the Seagate external HARD disk light exploded and is no longer visible to the Profiler system as a USB device. Should I cancel the reconstruction? Should I try disk referee to 'stabilize' the disc and run Disk Warrior?

  Can you describe the real problem which caused you to run DiskWarrior "to save the files?  Who can provide a clue about your current situation.

  If DiskWarrior' forever,' you have to cancel rebuild it later.  How long it has beed running?  It may take time, if repairs are done by DiskWarrior.

  DiskWarrior works repairing data directory player (which defines where the files are stored).  There are other types of utilities who hunt the disc for actual data.  For example
