• 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.

• HELP the T61p Swap hard drive Question - URGENT

  My T61p 6459-CTO went black screen. 1 long beep - 2 short beeps, I guess that the MOBO issue problems with Nvidia Chipset on that I read.

  So I wonder if I just take my hard drive out and put in it an operable T61p to close specifications would be that boot up and work like my old machine? Or I am a joke?

  How close the specs should be? Questions you plan?
  I need to get as forward as soon as possible.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Lee

  Welcome to the forum!

  You may need to day of a couple of drivers, but any T61/p or R61 will work fine as the drive.

  Good luck.

• Authentication of computers 2 after swapping hard drives

  My processor of the computer crashed while I bought 2 genuine 2 retailers refurbished Dell computers.  I confirmed the authentication with Dell.  A computer was XP Pro and the other had Windows 7 with 7 offices to help retailers OEM licenses.  They both have been authenticated by SM.  After bringing home PC, I swapped hard drives.  How (if possible) I authenticate these while MS recognizes and updates?

  What you did is not possible. Windows and Office OEM versions live and die on the computer on which they are first installed. OEM licenses are not transferable.

• defective hard drive out of warranty

  I want to install a new hard drive in my 4 years old Mac Mini. It is out of warranty. The hard drive has failed. Installation seems pretty easy, but once I have change the old hard drive with the new, how to restore the internet of the OS. I don't have a recovery disk.

  Assuming that your model never came with a DVD of recovery:

  Clean Install of El Capitan on a new disc

  1. Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command + Option + R until a globe appears.
  2. The Utility Menu appears in 5 to 20 minutes. Be patient.
  3. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
  4. When loading disk utility, select the drive (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
  5. Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
  6. Set the GUID partition scheme.
  7. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
  8. Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.
  9. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
  10. Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

  This should install it the version of Mac OS X that has been previously installed when the computer was new.

• The urge to Ultrabook 6 problem with recovery after failure of hard drive (out of warranty)

  Hello

  Please can someone tell me if it is true that to use HP factory recovery disks, hardware must be exactly the same as when purchased.

  After hours wasted trying to get the recovery disks to work, I find myself with the same "failed to retrieve @ screen and some unnecessary lines of code."

  In reading the various posts, it seems that I have a replacement for HP HARD drive of the same type that came with the computer. If this is the case, then the links on the support pages should say this before I have pay £39 for a set of disks.

  For me, a hard drive is a hard drive. I replaced a drive fried (1 month out of warranty expires) with a good brand replacement, but larger. Disks won't load.

  However, I could load W7 form an iso file and get that to work. I need the recovery because I do not know how to configure raid which allows the QuickStart on this laptop, and I don't have the time or no further inclination to make it work.

  Partly a rant, sorry, but I'm wrong, and is there a solution?

  Concerning

  I have seen others with this problem. Unfortunately, the only working solution, I remember the top was where a guy removed the player cache Msata, ran recovery then reinstalled.

  On a single charge of Win 7 I think you could install the Intel Quick Start software, then use it to activate the quick start. I have more a laptop Win 7 with Msata to test, but I remember the software could be opened from the icon beside the system clock and used to toggle the quick start.

• It's back up to swap hard drives on a Lenovo/IBM

  
  

  You have the option in the BIOS choose which disk you will begin since if there is one installed in the UltraBay slot. It would be under BIOS > startup > startup then you press 'enter' and choose the drive, press F10 to save and exit.

  Replacing a hard drive in R60 should take not more than a minute, but. Now, do the swap "at least once a week" is not something I would recommend long term.

  I hope this helps.

• Questions and swap hard drive M18x R2

  First, let me describe the problem.  For the last couple months my Alienware M18x R2 acted weird.  It started with not to close or put on correctly, should be really really a lot of time to stop it.  I thought it might be memory related and replaced it with GSkill RAM with timings better and things seem to be improving a little bit.  Now lately it was stop in the middle of games.  Just black out and closing.  Recently there has been some problems with updates.

  I did a restore of the system when I know it was not working properly, run Eset, Malware bytes, disk cleanup, defragmentation, and he did not better.  So I ran support assist, and Alienware autopsy by the Bios and everything is OK.

  My rig has 2 gpu 675 m GeForce, 32 GB of RAM, 64 GB mSata cached, 2 x 512 GB 7200 RPM HDD RAID 0.  Out of warranty

  I thought that the hard drives are failing or corrupt. There is a very slight on slot higher RPM.  So I decided I want to replace the SSDS and possibly upgrade the 120 or 128 GB mSATA.

  This is so a few questions-

  1. What size SSD work? 7mm, 9.5 mm?  I plan to get at least 2 480 GB RAID 0

  2. it has SATA III for correct readers?

  3 is it worth it to upgrade my mSATA cached to disk or not?  Is this SATA II or III

  I'll do a clean install of windows 7 Professional on them.

  I was watching Mushkin reactor or chronos, San disk ultra.  Everyone runs it 730 s Intel in a M18x, I hear that they are running more hot.  I am looking for performance and reliability. I in playing time.

  News, thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

  Hello

  1. It supports 7 MM SSD
  2. It supports mSATA SSD SATA II and SATA III, for the ordinary 2.5 inch hard disks, it only supports SATA II.
  3. The upgrade, it might increase performance since its being used as a caching device. It is compatible SATA II and SATA III.

• Question of swap hard drive NAS Datastore

  I make a hard drive on my QNAP NAS hotswap... as long as it's RAID 1. I have RAID 6, so I have to stop my NAS to swap a hard drive.

  Stupid question: can I stop my NAS without closing all my virtual machines? I can make sure there is no change to the VMs. Sorry, I'm looking for an easy solution < g >. I don't have a storage vMotion-enabled.

  One of my hard drives in the NAS is to launch during the self-test read errors.

  Thank you

  Mark

  Without stopping the virtual machine, you will need to move to a different external storage device.  If you have any other storage to move the virtual machine then your only option is to stop.

• Swap hard drive

  I have a 5WV280 of Compaq Presario thirteen with a 80 GB PATA hard drive I want to replace it with a 80 GB drive internal SATA II Intel X 25 - M solid state - model SSDSAZMH080G2C1.  My operating system is XP Ms.

  It is possible and it will make a significant difference to the performance of the computer?

  The original motherboard will support disk SSD Intel?

  What type of adapter/converter will be needed to connect the SATA drive to the PATA cable?

  Hello

  5WV280 has a speed of only 200 MHz FSB and the requirements for the Intel Solid State Drive are fairly high.
  In addition, the motherboard only supports IDE hard drives. There is no SATA connector on the motherboard to connect SATA HDD.

  However, PATA SATA converters are available. However, the bus speed required for the connection of a Solid State drive is very high, compared to what might be available using such an alternative arrangement.
  
  Suggests, do not connect this HDD SSD Intel to this computer.

  Thank you.

• EliteBook 8540p: HARD drive, out of warranty failure

  Our laptop Elitebook 8540 P gives a terrible warning about the imminent demise of the hard drive.

  Failure ID is 90F953-5B67SD-XD7U3A - 60A 503

  Product ID is XT924UA #ABA

  Capacity is 320 GB

  So, looks like it's time to replace the HARD drive. I saved the document, making a system image and a repair disk. My question is, how do I proceed from here?

  It would also be nice to know why the warnings are produced. Operation seems normal.

  See you soon.

  Gerry6

  The warning is a good thing - in a bad situation. The hard drive is under surveillance and warning is always a heads-up before he finally dies on you, so you can get a backup.

  You can buy a Mobile SATA Hard Drive to install and then start with your repair disk to restore the Image of detail. Just be sure to get a capacity at least equal as the 320 GB or more.

• swap hard drive now says Windows 7 not genuine

  So, the hard drive Dell to my son died, and to avoid buying a new drive, I traded on an Acer that we had in the attic. All this is good, responsible drivers and it works really well spent. Well until he began to blink's is not a thing of product Windows genuine. I tried to cross and turn on and authenticate with the Microsoft tool, but it says that it cannot validate. Can I do here? I have the stickers of the Microsoft authentication for them, if this is useful.

  Is the edition of Windows 7 installed the same as the edition which has already been installed on the hard drive dead? If it isn't, then it won't be not active.

• Swap HARD drive (boot drive) between two computers?

  I wonder if there is no Microsoft license/activation experts out there who can give me a definitive answer on this one.
  I need to be able to work in two places (in the United Kingdom and a foreign one), moving between them every few weeks.  I'll be traveling by plane if need a light solution - I can not just to put the computer in the car.
  I think build two identical computers, one for each location, with a hot (probably SSD) drive.  The theory is that I should be able to simply remove the CD, get on a plane, connect the drive to the other end and continue to work there when I left.
  As far I can understand from various forums, it should be technically possible.  The only problem is license/activation of Windows 7.  Is this legal use of a Windows license?  And I have to reactivate Windows whenever I passes the engine?
  Since the machines are self-built, obviously it will be a full license of Windows (not OEM).  I would even buy two licenses, if need be - although we'd probably stay in his blister unless there is a way to install two licenses on a single machine.
  (Please do not suggest I use a laptop / remote desktop rather: there are good reasons that none of those who work.)
  Thanks for any advice you can provide.

  Be aware that the same part number is not enough, but also the same revision. Check the label to the number of part on the side / end of the card mother of PN and revision boxes. Also enter the BIOS and check the number of revision for each Board.

  As to the execution of Windows Update would change the location of your PC (router / IP address / zone / ISP). Too many location changes can trigger WGA.
