• Thickness of Lenovo IdeaPad Z500 HDD; Replacement of SSD

  Hey guys,.

  I own a Z500 IdeaPad with a ST500LM012 HN-M500MBB 500 GB HDD by Samsung.

  I would like to do an upgrade with a 1 TB of HDD, I would put in the HARD Drive Caddy (replacement CD/DVD drive).

  And I also intend to get an EVO 840 Samsung SSD, I place in the main HARD disk location.

  BUT the HARD drive I have now is 9, 5mm thick. And the EVO 840 is 7 mm thick. I have problems in the main HARD disk location?

  And are there opportunities that I can fit a 12, 5mm disk in the location of main HARD drive or the HARD drive caddy?

  I'm terribly sorry for my English is not my mother tongue.

  Thanks in advance.

  Answer: Page 71 of the Hardware maintenance manual provides 9.5 mm hdd/sdd can be used. If you have the Player 7.0 mm it can also be accommodated.

  medo994 wrote:... And are there opportunities that I can fit a 12, 5mm disk in the location of main HARD drive or the HARD drive caddy?

  Answer: For the housing of the primary hard drive, the cage hdd/ssd mounting is designed to 9.5 mm, so a 7.0 mm or 9.5 mm hdd/ssd will fit. However, a 12.5 mm will not match. The caddy, you see the caddy if it can accommodate a hard drive of 12.5 mm. You may need to check the side of the caddy against the STRANGE to see if it will fit in the odd-NUMBERED slot.

• How to level a T61 HDD for one SSD without reinstall?

  Hi all. I bought this ThinkPad, I write with back in 2008 (a T61 6465-CTO with Vista and Intel integrated graphics) and he has been working a lot to me since then. I had no problems with it and his equipment is still able to manage what I have to do. However, I wanted to move her to an SSD HARD drive is faster and snappier. I know that I have would be limited at SATA1 speeds with this camera if I don't want to change the BIOS (which I did not), but I think that even this would be a great improvement on the existing HARD drive.

  To that end, I recently bought an SSD that their prices have dropped slightly (bought a new 120 GB SSD Samsung 840 for less than $100). I said SSD sitting next to me now but I did nothing yet because I want to make sure that I have the right to clone the old disk and swap in the new process. From what I understand instructions, I should:

  1 turn on the computer, install the Samsung Data Migration Software
  2. connect the SSD to a USB port via a USB-SATA Adapter
  3 clone the main for the SSD connected HARD drive using the software of data Migration
  4. turn the computer off, physically remove the old HDD and SSD in its place
  5 turn on the computer and everything should be fact/same as before (with the exception that the computer has a new storage drive)

  Is this correct?

  The HARD drive is encrypted so I removed the password for user/master I have to enter when it starts up, but what I have to do the same for the BIOS password that I am invited to when you turn on the computer? What the hidden; restore partition would clone too much or it would be lost. The HARD drive is in my opinion a 160 GB model, while the SSD is 120 GB but I have read that this difference in capacity should not be a problem since I'm using less of the new disc capacity (I have about 100 GB of free space on the HARD disk)?

  Sorry for all the questions. I have very little experience when it comes to changes in the software/hardware and I really would like to avoid wasting it so I would appreciate any help from people who have knowledge fact how to do this successfully. Thank you.

  The installation that you want to be cloning is optimized for spinning a player - not SSD - and you would have to align in a first time, disable the services later and again, you would not get the performance of a "clean" installation

  You can use any disk Vista installation as long as it matches the version (Home, Pro, full) on your COA - the worst that can happen is that you would have to call MS and activate by phone.

  I had the question why you want to the outdated drivers and other bloat Lenovo recovery partition on expensive SSD space as well, but it's your call. If you provision the reader - and I think you should - you won't initially that much space...

  TRIM running manually is certainly a possibility, but not one that I'm particularly sharp, especially on a small disc of TLC as the Samsung you have. You will need to be on it for not to have slow down for analysis.

  Good luck.

• T61 HDD no operating system validates

  I work at a major University (Paris is) and got a professional T61 6466 - 5DG. It was untouched since November 2007 because I was very happy with my T42 unfortunately struck by lightning through the telephone network. The T61 has been implemented under XP Lenovo in September 2010. I had 2 or 3 times a month a blue screen with something like "attempt to write to the memory. Victory to protect your system has stopped... Reboot... "and I did not like (I tried to build a personal network). "I received last week after the start of"HARD disk not initialized", I restarted and still last Friday the same on a blue screen dark after the Lenovo logo page, but it was the end: the T61 starts an Intel startup routine and said: valid no operating system on the HARD drive. The HARD drive is a Seagate Momentus ST9120822AS 5400-3 (ASM P/N 42 T 1306 and 42 T 1307 FRU). Connected trough is a USB adapter is only seen under XP in Device Manager and is "not initialized". A recovery tool to rebuild the file system (and I could copy the my important Documents) but lacked the FAT32 partition hidden (seen by the same tool on the drive HARD internal to an another T61 6466 - 5DG of a colleague). HARD drive through the Seagate Seatools long generic test and I am more than puzzled. Of course, I did not burn the DVD from the hidden partition: with a new labtop...

  We got in my T61 University many of the same brand and I checked 4: it's the same HDD Seagate and I found on the Web talks of early failures of Seagate Barracuda AND Momentus HDD. His colleagues are not afraid (IBM/Lenovo has been chosen on my suggestion for its reliability: I got the family 380 without any problem). Can you help me?

  Apparently there was a big bug in the software of these hard drives: Seagate explained they just sell the discs as OEM and software disk has been mounted by Lenovo. On the Lenovo support site, there is a software update for the discs. If it can help someone...

• A100 HDD replacement

  We need to recover the disk hard as a former employee has deleted some files in the operating system.
  We do not want to reinstall Windows because it my effect some other files being deleted, and by accident!
  We have the software to recover the data, but must be able to access the hard drive and remove it, then run it on our test machine.

  Does anyone have an idea how to remove the hard drive?

  Hi guys

  I put t know how old is your laptop but I think HDD Exchange should be don by an experienced technician because if damage you some components of equipment or do damage on the lid or the threads of the screw the guarantee will on it.

  In any case I also have information that undercover HDD is set with just a screw like Meier said. If the slot in the HARD drive is removed, hold the HARD drive tab and pull the HARD drive bracket. After that the disk should detach the support.

  2 Will fit a standard 2.5 notebook HARD disk drive 9.5 mm inches (for example 60 GB 2.5 "IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 7 K 60 ATA100 7200 RPM, 8 MB)
  3. is special caddies or cable required.
  4. someone at - it instructions or is simple.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hello.

  regarding your first question:
  BIOS update is useful, but I don't know how much GB the most recent BIOS for P7200 can handle! Try a test!
  2. normally a 2.5 inch HDD fit. I don't know who the old we have size, but you can compare it with the OE ew!
  3. no
  4. normally the change of HARD drive is not difficult. The problem is "the BIOS detects the new HARD drive and the right size." But this only experience could help you!

  Hello! I want to replace my old drive (st9500325as, 9mm) with ST500LM000(7mm) in my laptop (N5010). Which would be OK?

  Yes, but you may need a spacer so that the reader aligns properly.  If your drive does not come with one, you can buy them for a few dollars.
