T61 - unsuccessful attempt to upgrade the HDD using "Acronis True Image - disk clone".

T61, Win XP Pro,

Problems with the free space on HDD - disk(160GB) factory original is more than 90% full.

There are a lot of existing user settings and the user information on the HARD drive - of the specific settings for different network environments (home network, company network, VPN, etc.), specific applications, a lot of drivers for specific devices, many documents and photos and other information.

So, we need to upgrade the disk, but we do not want to go back to factory state - we want to keep all existing user settings and user information.

The existing drive was dismantled and connected to a standard desktop PC.

And using "Acronis True Image Home" the existing drive has been cloned again drive WD Scorpio Black 320 GB.

There is not any errors during the cloning process.

But when we set up the new drive of the laptop, the OS has not started - black screen with blinking cursor only flashing white dash (top left). So, we put back the old disk, in order to work.

After cloning, we see the new disk is similar, as it is on the old drive. There are two partition - hidden, system partition partition with Windows XP and all user folders and documents. Thus, we believe that the problem is only in part "start".

Everyone can us advice what is the problem.

Or we let another solution how to change the drive, but without going to the factory condition.

Thank you

Hi MitkoS and welcome to the Lenovo user community!

Try a clone "reverse" as described in Acronis forums:

  • What is the main difference between using using Windows 7 backup & using Acronis True Image backup?

    If I remember, Acronis backup can actually make a real clone (of everything, or the details of my choice) of my entire disk/Partition, and Windows 7 backup will be only some backup (Microsoft?) Programs, including the OS Windows 7, right?

    • The Windows backup tool will save user files. It will not support the system files (unless you choose them explicitly, which is not a good idea).
    • Windows Image tool will create an image of the system partition. It is a very basic tool that is sometimes capricious.
    • Acronis image backup option is similar to the Windows backup tool, but with more options.
    • The image of Acronis image option is a tool for creating image full maturity with a much better functionality and flexibility of the Windows image tool.

  • How to partition the HDD using the recovery CD - Satellite P35-S6112

    Hi all

    First of all, I've read tons of messages within this support site and then decided to open a thread.

    My laptop model Nr: P35-S6112
    Recovery DVD code: TK143/PMAE00127012
    OS: Windows Xp home edition

    I'm trying to re - install the sytem with two disk partitions, but no luck. Recovery DVD (procedure) gives me no opportunity to separate the HDD in two different partitions, also commonly known as C and D when you reinstall the system.

    Many experts support claim that appears during installation install two modes and (Expert Mode) allows the user to divide the hard disk into partitions.

    Please, let me explain how to re - install.
    (A-) I simply recovery dvd in the drive and start the dvd player.

    B-) first black screen comes and asks confirmation to proceed for recovery (F1 means yes.)

    C-) second screen with two warnings as described below.
    1-) to ensure that the recovery CD/DVD is in the CD/DVD drive.
    2-) keep the CD/DVD in the drive until you are prompted to rremove it.
    Continue to press (C). To cancel press (A)?

    D-) then I select (C) and the recovery procedure starts without asking me if I want to separate disk in different partitions. Then, installation ends and creates an entire C: drive.

    I would like to know if this partitioning function is included in the recovery DVDs or should I have to pay for additional software separate my hard drive into two partitions of poor?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello

    Recovery for laptops models European procedure is very well known to me, but I think you have a model of portable U.S. unfortunately I didn t see how it works for laptop computers in the United States, but I guess it must be similar to European models.

    In any case if you say that you cannot use the installation in expert mode I believe you. If there is no way to use recovery media I recommend you use the Partition Magic software. It is a very powerful software and the use you can manage HARD drive and create clean partitions or change the ability of persistence of partitions already.

    Good luck!

  • Upgrade the HDD in Equium M50-192

    Hi all

    I have a laptop Equium M50-192 with the HDD 60 GB MK6021GAS inside.
    Does anyone know if I can improve it with the hard disk of 120 GB MK1646GSX.

    I found the site http://www.storage.toshiba.eu and I checked the two discs; but I don't know if the MK1646GSX disk has a compatible interface type.
    I am confused about the differences between ATAPI/IDE (60 GB MK6021GAS) and Serial ATA (120 GB MK1646GSX).

    Basically can anyone tell me if the 120 GB MK1646GSX will work instead of the 60 GB MK6021GAS?

    Any help gratefully received.

    Zoe

    Hello

    There is a big difference between the IDE HDD and the SATA HDD interface!

    Equium M50 supports the IDE interface and only IDE hard drives are compatible.
    You can use a HARD drive that supports IDE ATA-6 interface.

    In addition, you should know that the BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation. This means that not all HARD drive sizes are supported.
    In my opinion the 120 GB should be ok but it s just my personal suggestion. You know? ;)

  • Upgrade the HDD on the Satellite U200

    3 months ago I bought a Toshiba SATELLITE PRO U200 Jarir Bookstore in Saudi Arabia and I now want to move the HDD of 80 GB to 160 GB.
    However, I note that 1.46 GB the drive hard EISA is partitioned and is not assigned a drive letter. I guess that's the operating system or something like the laptop came preloaded with Windows Vista Business.
    I have the DVD of restoration and would normally just mount the new drive and boot from the DVD following the same procedure as a normal PC. But I can't copy the EISA partition on the new disk. How to pass on the new disk?

    Hello

    Why not to duplicate the entire HARD drive on the new. There are enough programs fulfil-> www.ubcd4win.com.

    Otherwise just install your new HARD drive in your machine, perform a restore of the system on your new HARD drive, copy your files on it and that's all. Don t worry about the partition, if it s on your old HARD drive and restoring the system should probably create it on the new hard drive.

    You won´t know until you've tried it. :)

    Please give some feedback after your restored your system, would be interesting to know if the recovery has created a new partition "EISA".

  • Upgrade the HDD and RAM

    Hello

    I have a HP dv7-3085dx (product no: VM188UA #ABA) and I need to upgrade my hard drive to an SSD & increase my RAM. currenlty I have 500 GB hdd & 6144 MB ram DDR3.

    1. Please let me know if Serial ATA III SSD (Samsung - 840 EVO 250 GB Internal Serial ATA III Solid State Drive) is compatible with my motherboard. And is it possible to use this (primary) SSD as well as my old HDD (secondary).

    2. do I need to buy additional cables for this upgrade?

    3. What is the rate of transfer of my RAM? If I could buy a compatible RAM.

    Your specific motherboard has the chipset Intel 5 series which is only capable of SATA-II. However, the Evo of 840 Samsung SATA-III will work fine and you will always see at an astonishing speed. You have chosen a good SSD (the same that I use, so I'm a little prejudiced).

    With regard to memory, this is the crucial.com on your model page showing it will take up to 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) SO-DIMM DDR3-1333.

    http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Pavilion%20dv7-3085dx

    And Yes, you can use 2 hard drives in any dv7. It will take a second drive caddy and cable available here:

  • Upgrade the HDD satellite 2450

    Hi all
    After reading a bit on issues related to atmosphere on the laptops HARD drive, I am writing to see if anyone has any experience to do so on a Satellite 2450 model (-101), which came with a 30 Gb HD (MK3021GAS).
    I want to install a HDD of 80 GB (such as MK8025GAS), can anyone give me an advice on which model HD would be best to use? Behind the possible limitations of the BIOS, I noticed a different interface specification (for example it is ATA - 6, while my current is DMA/ATA-100, and I'm not sure about the significance of this...).
    Thank you very much in advance,
    Alberto.

    Hello

    I studied a bit and I found information that the unit supports only 30 GB, 40 GB and drives hard 80 GB.

    HDD2181B 30 GB
    HHD2182B 40 GB
    HDD2171B 40 GB
    HDD2183B 60 GB
    HDD2184B 60 GB

It keeps giving me an error: access to \Tools\dp.sc was denied, I tried to run as administrator, but still will not work. I tried once again in safe mode, it always gives me an error, but without the sentence or an error number. It just says ERROR. Is there another way to try a factory reset?

  • Upgrade the HDD on R61i... What options

    I am facing the age-old situation... short of HARD drive space.

    I am considering upgrading my drive HARD internal R61i. It came with a Seagate 160 GB. I have my eye on a Seagate 320 GB. The 160 GB will be installed in an external enclosure, reformat and used as storage device.

    In most software installed at the factory, I have many installed in my 160 GB, currently only 2 software that I have the original installation cd. In addition, I do have a lot of data files yet. So, I would not need image or ghost my the 160 GB to 320 GB new data. Therefore, I don't mind just to make the Revovery Media to run cd that takes a few hours and then install my other software.

    Of after what I have read in various forum posts (again to perfect oneself by using the search function), I came to a conclusion of the 2 options.

    1. after having come out the 160 GB and by installing the 320, I should be able to run the recovery DVD media (created from the 160 GB) State factory on the 320 GB.

    I could be wrong on this point, the DVD would create a hidden partition on the new 320 for ThinkVantage software and the balance of the right of disposal, from 300 to 310GB abt?

    This means that I'm going to make 2 partitions (1 hidden and large available partition 1)

    2. this option, I'm not sure how to go about. Is it possible to create 3 partitions on the 320 GB? A hidden ThinkVantage, a 120 GB for programs and the other for/data storage.

    You've got the basics right and then create your existing 160 GB drive recovery discs discs and use them to install the OS on the new...

    I'd go with 7200 RPM, if you're looking for 320, or if you really need space, with 500 GB / 5400 RPM.

    My personal preference would be Seagate, since I've never had failed their drive on me, but to each his own...

    I hope this helps.

  • How to upgrade the existing using the new version of Muse Web site

    I've recently updated to the last version of Muse (2015.0) and may not know how to upgrade my existing Web site. Used to, I would just click on publish and it would update in real time on my site. Now, I don't see how. Someone out there who can help me with this? Thank you

    Hi HeikeDN001,

    With the recent release of Muse CC there was a little problem with publication to business Catalyst Control Panel. It has been resolved locally and will be available in the next version of muse. For now, you can try a workaround to deal with the problem. You must use this workaround only once and then Muse will begin to function properly.

    • Create an empty site of Muse.
    • Publish it to BC with any name at random.
    • Once the new published file close and open your original file.
    • Now, try to publish your original file and you will be able to see all the options you could see as soon as possible.

    Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

    Kind regards
