• Pavilion Slimline s3760a: hard to replace by disk drive cloning

  Product name: Pavilion Slimline s3760a

  OS: Vista

  Hi all

  I'm Turina, just joined the forum think I write in the right place, but I would like to know if I am not please.

  So we had our computer for several years, the hard drive is in red then am swapping try it before he died of old age, for a WD 1 TB hard drive.

  I use a Sata-usb adapter and the editing software Acronis True Image WD to clone the installed hard drive.

  It is only used at home, and we buy another for games, so it is just the usual photos, music, computer documents, type ftp and Web site stuff, but nothing too consuming.

  I don't think I have the original cd that came with the computer, so I do not have a cd of the operating system.

  Have already saved the computer several times so I'd go back to setting before changing the original hard drive?  No important stuff there that I can't get back.

  The questions are:

  1. The current drive is partitioned, the C: and the D: which is the original Image.  I want to know if I can clone the image factory separately to the C drive on different drives.  That is to say the image of origin on a disc and the rest on another disk.  Actually I don't know what is an original image, but after reading on this subject, I guess, it's the information to restore your computer to factory settings?
  2. If I can't clone separately, when I clone the drive will be the computer then be able to recognize the additional 1 TB or it will still recognize just aware of the 320 GB memory disks.  I know that you can enlarge the partitions don't etc. no idea how or even if I need to do this?
  3. And a separate SSD or same disc for the operating system would be more killing?  Actually I don't think I can put the operating system on a separate drive because I don't have the cd and don't know if I can do it with the cloning software.  But thought I'd ask anyway.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks for your time

  After you run the clone, this player can be connected with the drives original wiring (SATA and power data).

  This new cloned drive should start without problem. The original drive may be stored safely up to your satisfaction.

  A cloned drive is an exact copy of the original disc. It is intact, with all the programs and data files.  There is no further action required.

• Hard drive or SATA connector?

  A few days ago I received the dreaded stop sign on the start screen, fearing that my hard drive has failed Finally I quickly bought a compatible. The next day, my drive hard original was 'work' again, slowly but surely she came back to life. Happened to my new hard drive, I decided it was time for an upgrade anyway. I created a bootable usb key, and with my new hard drive (1 TB of seagate Alpha) connected internally, I was ready to breathe new life into my old mac. As I was formatting the seagate OSX journaled with GUID I kept getting installation errors, and disk errors. After several attempts, I decided to give up. I then connected the seagate through a SATA to a USB (external) and voila! He was able to put in the form of OS X journaled with GUID card (it means the drive is well?). So, I have connected the seagate in-house and represented the boot drive. Everything was successful until the very last moment, where I got the dreaded

  "OSX could not be installed on your computer file system check or repair a failure. Quit Setup or restart your computer and try again.

  So I tried again and the results were the same.

  What continues? Is there a problem with the seagate or is it an internal problem with the connections?

  Both are pretty easy to fix the parts are readily available, or it could be something else?

  Ask if you need more details, I believe that it is a fairly common problem.

  I forgot to take pictures of all the error screens as well

  Thank you

  Hi Yangw29:

  You said that your new work drive connected to your computer through SATA to a USB cable.

  Try it will be your old hard drive.

  Remove it from the computer and connect it via SATA to a USB cable.

  To test if the problem is your hard disk or the SATA cable:

  You can remove your Mac hard drive and install in case external OWC external box or by using a USB to SATA adapter SATA USB adapter and connect it to your MBP via USB. And then try to boot from by using the Boot Manager. This will help determine if your hard drive or SATA cable are at fault. If she starts the MBP, will very probably be the problem the SATA cable drive needs to be replaced.

  Start from the disc using the Boot Manager: How to choose a disk to boot your Mac.

  What year / model is your computer?

• Satellite L500 - hard disk drive partitioning

  Hi all (first posting times)

  I came across a little curiosity. Bought new laptop everything installed, then loaded into all the previous laptop backup files, brilliant all work...
  But then noticed was running out of space on the hard disk (drive C)?

  Why? It is a 500 GB hard drive. So I checked. Its actually a HDD 500 gig, divided into two, also. OK, understand that, first partition is C: for all files of system etc, there is d: recovery of files (using about 8 gig) then nothing else... what a mess.

  So the question, can I do the largest C: drive by reducing the D: partition? If NOT, it would make more sense then just make another partition E: for example?

  Oooh and I will make the recovery of files from damage by doing this.

  All your advice much appreciated kind.

  If it is not broken... your cheek is not hard enough *.

  Why are you doing this so complicated? HARD drive has two partitions, and you can use all that space. Toshiba has saved the recovery image of HARD drive on the second partition, but this does not mean that you are not allowed to save your data there. You can do but just don't touch or change folder HDDRecovery. Just leave it there, or make it invisible.

  This file can be used later for the installation of HARD disk image - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
  Imagine the following situation:
  You save all your stuff on the C partition and one day for some reason you cannot boot OS and it is completely unusable. What you can do? Maybe install OS again. OK good idea, but you will lose all your important data.

  In order to better is to save all the stuff on the D partition, and if something goes wrong, you can install OS using HARD drive recovery facility. This means that C partition will be formatted and clean the OS installed on it by using the image of the D partition. The point is that any data saved to the D partition will be there and you won't lose anything.

  If you want to install the OS via recovery DVD (hopefully you have created the) the whole HARD drive will be formatted and you will lose all saved data.
  I hope you understand now how it works then think of all the important data and save it as with certain external devices too.

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

   

  I hope this helps.

• printer shows as removable disk drive

  Today, after several years of operation, my HP Officejet J6480 started appearing as a removable disk drive, which makes my out-of-date configuration backup USB drive (the designated reader is a letter out now).  I can redo the backup configuration to get around this, but would rather fix the problem.   Still, it will print and fax.  I tried unistalling the material and then put it back, but still have the same question.  How can I get that back to just a printing device and not a removable disk?

  Hello

  The machine probably uses the card reader on the printer as a reader of withdrawal. You can ALWAYS reassign the external HARD disk drive letter and keep your backup even drive. Please use the tutorial below for Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8:

• SMART failure provided on hard disk 2: WDC WD 3200AAJS-55RY-AO (S1) __WARNING: IMMEDIATELY back up your data and replace your hard disk drive failure can be immenent

  Please help... I dunno what to do one day, I came home from work and my new about sony vaio desktop has been frozen, so I rebooted and now I have this message when I try to start and I do not have a vista disc or a recovery disc and am worried my lost data as I do not know how to save at this point because I can't even in the windows operating system Vista.  can someone help me please?

  We must believe the error message telling you that your hard drive is about to fail. If you are not technically proficient, take the machine to a local computer technician who will try to back up your data and then replace the hard drive. Do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place. Otherwise, you may be able to get the data saved by one of the methods below and replace the hard drive yourself.

  1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

  2. you can start the target computer with a Bart PE (if you use XP) or a Linux live CD like Knoppix and retrieve the data in this way. General information about the use of Knoppix for this are:

  You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with sufficient capacity to store your data, OR an external hard drive formatted USB FAT32 (not NTFS) *. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

  * My understanding is that you can now write on NTFS from Linux partition. If you wish to do this, Google for instructions on the use of the NTFS driver.

  http://www.Knoppix.NET

  IMPORTANT - If there is no question that the drive is at fault - there are noises, for example - and the data is crucial NOTHING else ON THE DISC. Whenever launch you this player you can destroy data. If this is the case, send the drive to a professional data recovery company. I use savers by car, but there are others. General prices run from $500USD on-site. Investors recovered all disk data on a portable player that failed for one of my clients, and it cost $2 700. He thought that it was worth the money; only you know what's worth your data. I understand that some insurance companies now cover fresh data recovery so check with yours.

• Installing Windows said "we have found no disk drives. How can I get a storage driver?

  My hard drives of computers were completely destroyed by overhead sprinklers during a fire. Installing Windows said "we have found no disk drives. How can I get a storage driver? I can't go online until I have install windows. Thank you

  Hello

  So it does not start from the disc, but when you get to the part where it asks me to choose a disk to install Windows, you do not see something here, is that correct? Go to the menu of the Bios (tap button "F2" at startup to access the Bios), then Advanced and check what you show for the SATA/operating Mode option.

• Recently switched from PC to Mac. I have the CD for the CS6 Adobe Creative Suite for Mac and PC. How can I get the serial number of the CD Mac OS with no disk drive?

  Recently, I switched from PC to Mac. On my PC, I got the Adobe Creative Suite Design & Web Premium (academic edition) CS6. I bought the product through my school and have two installation CD, for Windows and Mac.

  I try now to download this product on my new Macbook, but do not have a hard drive. When I check my saved items, it says that I have the Creative Suite CS6, but under the platform, he said "Winner" and serial number is for Windows product. Of course, this won't work for my Mac OS.

  So my question is, how do I get the serial number of the installation CD Mac OS with no disk drive? I guess that the numbers are different because when I put the Windows product number in the install window on my Mac, it does not work.

  So my question is, how do I get the serial number of the installation CD Mac OS with no disk drive?

  You use this procedure to share your serial number CS6 win to Mac CS6.

  Buy and use an external optical drive connected via USB. Apple sells a. Most of the other USB external optical drives work very well. It is better to get a powered by AC power from the USB bus vice.

• Driver XP SATA for Satellite Pro L300 PSLB9E

  Hi all I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 PSLB9E and I am trying to downgrade from Vista to XP. I have the sata AHCI controller mode, I looked for this drivers on the toshiba site and the site of intel, but none of these work when installing xp and pressing f6 when you use a usb floppy drive. Any ideas?

  Hello

  If you have set the compatible SATA mode in the BIOS, then you n t need to install all the drivers SATA!
  Compatibility mode allows you to run the HARD drive without SATA drivers.

  But if you want to use the HDD in SATA mode, then you will set back to AHCI.
  In this case the SATA drivers must be installed in order to use the HDD in SATA mode.

  The laptop seems to be equipped with the AMD CPU and so you need a SATA chipset AMD driver. That are in the package of graphics (record SBDrv/SATA") driver
