  Are the backup CD Win 7 those that you made at the beginning when you got the original computer?

  What new MB do you have?  Have you tried a bootable CD or a bootable USB key?

  HP and other PC manufacturers are looking for their id MB and will not install their backups if the system configuration is not that they support.  For example, when I tried to update my bureau a6600f from Vista to Windows 7, could not to restore the MB chipset drivers without reinstalling Vista, Win 7 is not a supported configuration, even if it worked, (a little).

  If the new MB chipset is not the same as HP Holly MB, the new chipset MB drivers are probably incompatible with the chipset drivers windows 7 HP.

  One solution would be to get another hard drive, install win7 (commercial version) on the new drive with appropriate drivers and use the original drive to move or transfer files from.

  There are commercial products, Disk Image, I think and perhaps Spotmau Pro and Fix - it Utilities (everything I have boot CD, I used with varying degrees of success) which will start from their own operating system and allow you to exclude almost everything to another drive, but if you try to move everything, you can end up with the wrong drivers or a bad registry.

  Remember that pilots must be compatible with the hardware of the device, or you will have problems.  Most manufacturers make special versions chipset and firmware drivers, depending on what types of problems that they find in the testing of a new product.  The chipset drivers may or may not work the same as a result.

  You have a lot of work waiting for you if you do not have a replacement motherboard from Holly, I'm afraid, and supported by the manufacturer will not apply unless the configurations are compatible with their original products supported.

• I want to spend hard drives...

  Now, I know that I can take a hard drive and stick it in a computer and it will work. I just bought a new computer and want to give my old to my daughter. I don't have a huge drive hard because I already have one, she doesn't have a need and I don't want to move all the data or reinstall all programs. Both are under Vista. Do you anticipate problems with authentication of Vista because I will be switching hard drives? I don't think I have a copy of smuggling and stop the update because I've changed hard drives around the computer.

• My Time Machine is full. Should I keep it plugged in and turned on even if I switch to another external hard drive for Time Machine backups?

  My external hard drive, Time Machine is full. Should I keep plugged in m and, even if I switch to another external hard drive to keep backups with TimeMachine?

  There is no need to keep two connected external drives. Instead, I suggest you to buy a bigger external hard drive and transfer the backups that you want from the old to the new external drive, so you can use the old external drive for other purposes-> Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

• Can satellite A30-154 - I switch to a 120 GB HARD drive?

  I have a laptop Satellite A30-514 with a 30 GB hard drive which has done a great job.

  Is it possible and easy to switch to 120 GB and pointers to the best HARD drive to use?

  Thank you very much

  Hello!

  As far as I know the laptop is equipped with IDE HDD's. This means that there is a limitation of LBA 28 bits and you can use up to 128 GB s HDD.
  If the upgrade to a 120 GB model should work fine.

  You can buy a disk of each production, but I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

• Acer aspire switch 10F / I don't see hard drive

  Hi, today I got a new acer aspire switch 10F. I live in Poland, but I bought the acer in the United Kingdom.

  So I turn on the acer and I see acer have 10 windows. I check 'This PC' and I do not see a HARD 500 G 0.o disk, only 32GB. I thought I have a version without the HARD drive, but have all versions. The keyboard/dock is heavy, so I think that hdd is in the keyboard, but windows can't see HDD.

  This is screen printing:

  

  In disk management.

  Maybe I don't have some drivers?

  Please help than kyou

  Hello

  Yes, yours is not equipped with a HARD drive. Last year, I have evaluated a similar model (only 32 GB mem) and have not found the dock Ko was very heavy. The message, in my view, that it comes to USB ports (e.g. plugged USB flash drive).

• How can I find the hard drive in my Acer Aspire 10.1 switch keyboard docking station?

  My Acer Aspire 10.1 switch was sold with an additional 500 GB HDD in the keyboard. But the drive only extra hard (except C :) I can find in Explorer's "recovery (D :) ", but this is ony 32 GB, but it goes away when I remove the keyboard, so it is in the keyboard. At the start of the computer there is certainly a hard drive of sound from the keyboard, so there is something in there. OS is Win 8.1.

  the 500 GB HARD drive is on the keyboard, so if you disconnect Switch10, you lose the remote storage.

  You can check it in disk management:

  Logo of the Windows key + x

  Click on disk management

  It will be all avilable storage the list, in order to check if the HDD 500 GB is there and if it is listed as unallocated space.

• internal hard drives within the switching apparatus

  Switching of the internal hard drives in the machine. I have two internal hard drives, C and E of clarification and I replaced my C Seagate 360 with a TB Western Digital because of this hard disk failure false I bought, which I'm sure were a corporate scam to buy more stuff that is really unnecessary. My question is "how to pass these. My HP Pavilion Elite m9150f going in stupid mode on 3 to 5 times a year and I have to do a recovery and I found that doing the hard, it is happening in stupid mode in a very short time. I found is from the CD that it takes a little more, but the best way is to erase completely and reformat the hard drive and then do a clean install, so he prevents her from stupid mode for awhile, this one lasted 4 months but like you have probably understood it's time to do it again. However, as you know it takes 3 times as long to reformat TB as it does a 360 GB drive, so it's the root of my question. I have all my stuff on the E-Drive SG360 for backup, note here backup on this PC has never worked so I don't bother with the so-called machines back to top I just copy stuff I want to record on the E drive and make the ol' copy ' and paste to restore everything. Now because of the time it takes to reformat drive C TB I want to make the switch. Is it as simple as just their switching and pulling the PC with the recovery discs factory to perform RECOVERY and do my usual copy and paste of the Western Digital to now, E-Drive?

  Please someone with the know let me know

  Thank you very much, RickS

  Aparently, you can not RESPOND to your own message.

  No one answered so I went ahead and did it. Lost all learned but a lot on the partitioning of hard disks and all together, in addition to becoming the hard drive back to R & R until less than 6 minutes time to unplug the PC at the rear, turn 05:53, my best so far. but she is back to being usable was a day and a half.

  The answer to the question is when you put that there is nothing usable at all because the PC looking for the OS and boot any disk has. I had to start player, I chose so that I could erase and reformat the C drive and run the installation of the OS. Once he was done with that I had to choose again which drive start so I could erase and reformat the drive E then he would leave goes to the starting window when I turned it on.

  Simple answer is not a. Read above.

• A mechanical hard drive of switching to a solid state HD

  Members of the Forum,

  I have no experience in doing this, but I am considering upgrading the hard drive in my X220s (7465 model) to an SSD, hoping the upgrade will increase the speed of the system.

  I ask advice and opinions:

  1. I have several Windows 7 programs and data using about 50% of the current unit.  How I would transfer current programs and data from the HARD drive for the future SSD?  The complexity is the transfer?

  2. the laptop is stored on a Windows Home Server.  Restore on WHS will install the operating system and programs on the SSD?

  2. the effort would be useful I would realize a really noticeable change in performance that is worth the effort and expenditure.  The low-voltage 2.26 GHz processor used in the X200s is not the fastest on the block.

  I don't know how easy it'll be to clone your the one existing for the new SSD.  There is a software that does - I think Newegg gives you something for free if you buy one of the Intel SSD.

  Otherwise, you can do like I did when I upgraded to an SSD. New Windows 7 install and reinstall all my existing software disc, either via download.

  The speed bump is worth it in my opinion – it seems that the readers of Intel (X 25 line) are still at the very top of the list of quality and performance by a long shot (and not much more expensive than the other options out there).  AnandTech and Tomshardware have good primers on the SSD market and what to keep in mind if you prepare the switch.

  My good experience with putting a small SSD in my office made me out here, I'll only buy machines configured with SSDS.

• Help with hard drives and the "switch" statement

  All the

  I was wondering if you could please help? It's probably more to do with "powershell" than powercli but are... What I'm trying to achieve is the ability to create a function that runs through all my VM - counts the number of hard drives by VM - crosses EACH hard drive and gives me the ability of each of them. He then returns to a csv file (which iknow how to do). The segment below is pretty well what I want, but I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the amount of code! I tried using a foreach statement, but got stuck (PS - the maximum number of hard drives of our virtual machines can have is 5)

  I'm just using a switch statement, because that is what I "thought" answered the problem. However if there is a way I could get the same result without so much 'code' that would be ideal.

• ON DEMAND! Sudden HARD drive failure. Need urgent advice concerning a new

  So when I got home, I noticed that my laptop no longer works. It seems that my HARD drive has failed. I've owned a laptop Lenovo Z50-70.

  I use the laptop a little more for the games, but especially for programming under Windows or Linux.

  Can someone tell me what settings should I consider for this? Can I get the latest SATA? Or look at the cache or rpm?

  The other variant is the purchase of an SSD now (250 GB or more) at the moment and buy another for installing Linux later, as I don't have a lot of money for the time cutrent.

  I need quick and easy answers right now. Thank you very much!

  Cache on HD

  SSD would be your best bet. Make sure it fits. Most are not a problem to look toward the top of the physical specification of the existing drive.

  Invest in an external for backup and Imaging. If you restore, then it's a walk in the Park. Otherwise, looks like you may have lost data.

  @Alin742

  Go to this site and create a bootable CD.

  http://hddguru.com/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/

  Boot from the CD.

  If she asks do you want SCSI, click No or just press ENTER. (countdown to 30 seconds)

  The port selection select your HARD drive. (Usually 1, 3 or 6).

  If you do not see your HARD drive, you will need to restart and go into the BIOS and SATA ATA value.

  After choosing your type of HARD drive, ERASE and press to enter. (This will erase all data).

  Leave it to erase the entire disc. (Depending on the size, it may take 2 to 5 hours.)

  Once done erase all disk F4 2 hit shots and will start the test.

  Many people simply replace the HARD drive and all that is wrong is there is simply soft errors. (Errors caused by software not hardware errors.)

  If you need help running the program let me know.

• How to switch my system on a larger hard drive without having to reinstall the OS and lose my data?

  replace the hard drive

  I'm looking to replace my hard drive but I need all the files it is about it, passing a small hard drive to a larger hard drive. My question is how can I save all the files on the disk and how can I get the operating system on the new hard drive without the original disk

  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):

  Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
