• Portege S100 Ultra Slim Bay HARD drive adapter take 2.5 HDD?

  As the title says really, think to add a second hard drive to my portege s100, but not sure if the Ultra Slim Bay adapter HARD disk can take normal 2.5 "HDD, or just the special Ultra Slim Bay HARD drive.
  Thank you

  Hello

  First of all, you need to use the HARD drive adapter selectable right Bay which is compatible with the Portege S100.

  I found an and it seems that the HARD drive adapter Bay selectable PA3408U-1ETC is the right!
  Case Interface is serial ATA (SATA). And the Serial - ATA 80GB HDD Kit PA3407U - 1 H 80 must be compatible with the select Bay case

  Hi SB

  What old Tecra you mean exactly?

• Tecra M4-138: update BIOS (i) 3.40 (ii) Slim Select Bay HD

  (i) recently (12/06/2007), Toshiba has released an update of the 3.40 BIOS which can be done only through windows. I own a Tecra M4 - 138 running Win XP Tablet Ed and since now I've updated windows fron BIOS (now it is under v3.30). But the last update can be satisfied! After you run the update, it displays a small window with the label 'run... '. "and a bar running and... that's it! After waiting nearly an hour nothing happenned. I called the local dealer and they advised to perform decommissioning if the system restarts to repeat the procedure and if the problem continues to avoid the update. Is this (thankfully)! Because I don't know if this update fixes important and by default, I tend to be updated, any valuable advisor?

  (ii) I'm trying for some time to put a HD (secondary IDE) to my Tecra M4-138 using the Slim Select Bay drive HARD adapter (PA-3134U-2CTE), an IDE interface and... of Toshiba 120 GB HD... SATA (!) all bought them 4PC GMBH (a Premium Business Partner of Toshiba...). In any case, after not receiving their share of response to my posts, I decided to use this SATA HD as external USB and I am now looking again for a 2.5 "HD (IDE) put in PA-3134U-2CTE. The question: what can be the maximum capacity that resists the Slim Select Bay?
  ?:|

  The update of the bios version 3.40 is logical, but it is not necessary if you are running a stable system.

  There are two major improvements:
  1. exit TV (S-Video) is compatible with Windows Vista now
  2 Improments about Chipset Intel

  If you have a floppy drive there is another possibility for updating the bios.
  Extract the 3.40 bios. Copy the files chgbiosa.exe and BIO0026T.COM on the diskette.
  Now you can perform the update of the bios as described in the http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000000b07 Bios FAQ in the traditional update section.

  According to your second problem:
  Tecra M4 has no real limits on the size of hard drive in the Bay of select. The only thing you have to rememer is Tecra M4 has an INTERNAL Serial ATA HDD but select bay with a selectbay for Parallel ATA HDD adapter.
  So I wonder you bought a SATA HARD drive - for this slim selectbay adapater. PATA HDDs will only fit in!
  Back to your question once again. You can buy any real 2,5 "PATA HDD for this card. To get the good HARD-Adator disc on the HARD disk, you should consider buying a drive hard Toshiba selectbay in Catalog option (for example PX1340E - 1 12)

• Satellite Pro 6070 Slim Select Bay Drive doesn't regonize CD

  I have a problem with my Slim Select Bay DVD. The drive motor is running and the laser unit moves, but it does not recognize the discs until I flip the whole notebook on the right side.
  Then, after a few attempts with opening and closing of the drive, the drive reads the disc in most of the time. So I think that it is a problem with the contacts inside the laptop because windows recognize it every time.

  Has anyone here an idea of how solve it?

  Thank you very much

  Sorry but I do not understand your question. Of course, there is problem contact and how you think that you can solve.

  If someone write here you should disassemble the entire laptop and check or perhaps own contacts your really want to do this?

• How much space do I need to allow for Vista while partitioning the hard drive?

  How much space do I need to allow for Vista while partitioning the hard drive?

  I am installing on a new drive hard and need to partition the hard drive.

  I remember he had a certaing amount allocated for vista and before recovery.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  40GBs is the minimum; who will be vey quickly useless.

  Recovery partition would have been photographed by the manufacturer of the computer hard disk and you can't replicate that.

  You can use all of the hard disk space available to install Vista on.

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• I need a driver for a Maxtor 3200 external hard drive compatible with windows 7

  I need a driver for a Maxtor 3200 external hard drive compatible with windows 7

  I just got a chat session with a Seagate tech (formerly Maxtor).  He said that the Maxtor 3200 s/n I made in 2006 don't is NOT supported by Win7 and never will be.  I just bought the year last from Radio Shack for about $80,00.  If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to try.  I read a blog by which this guy has followed this procedure and it worked, said: let HD; Start Win7; Turn on HD; restart the pc (NOT reboot).  Who has not worked for me.

• Tecra W50 - cannot start when installing the second hard drive (caddy).

  Hi all
  I have a Tecra W50 PT640A 04103NN1.
  When a second hard drive is installed in the Bay of DVD player cell phone will try to boot from the drive bay, not the internal drive
  This second drive has no operating system installed and so the fails to start.

  If I hit F12 at startup and select HARD drive, while the machine starts correctly. That is starts on the main hard drive.
  Change the order of boot in the BIOS makes all the difference; He will always try to boot from the second drive bay drive first.

  All known A it works correctly?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Doppelfrog,
  I had the same problem with my W50, got my HDD caddy a few days ago.
  You have a bit of luck to fix this problem?
  I believe that the Bios for this laptop is not developed to serve both drives (like the computer I had that one drive Bay) and it is not possible to prioritize the witch THAT HDD should start first...

  Kind regards

• How do I know if my laptop has two bays HARD drives?

  Hello

  Dv6-6093ex product name

  Product number: LM610EA

  If I had upgraded to standrad HDD in an SSD and want to leave the HARD drive installed in drive secondray Bay. Can my laptop cause two bays for HARD drives?

  I install SSD on the main drive Bay. If I don't need the HARD drive storage space, I'll just move to the disk bay secondary school (I assume that my laptop has two bays for HARD drives).

  Your laptop has a 2.5-inch HDD Bay. There is no WSSD slot so you can have a single hard drive, unless you are willing to give up the optical drive, in which case you can use an optical drive for hard drive adapter. If you want to use a SSD put in the slot 2.5 internal and a hard drive in the Bay optical adapter.

• A temperature probe is really necessary for the replacement of the hard drive?

  I replaced the hard drive in my late 2009 iMac 21.5 ". In the OWC video, he calls for a probe. My hard drive is not one of the built-in ones. I was wondering if I really need or the computer will work fine without it?

  Well without it your HD fan will be clocked at high speed all the time. The good news is that you can also control the fans/temp via the software. Here is a free software that works very well. http://www.eidac.de/

• I need to back up an entire hard drive, XP and all

  I replaced a strong record for my neighbor and found myself in a strange position. I need to back up the entire hard drive, so I can replace it with a larger, but cannot start on this disc (when its in my computer) because of a BSOD. I can start in my regular reader (the one I normally use in my computer) and browse the disk I'm trying to backup with no problems. I tried to use Norton Ghost, but when I try to boot from the new drive, I get an error and cannot continue. That I can use that backs up the entire disk, including Windows XP and all the files and allow me to boot from it?

  4ndyC2D,
  Microsoft didn't offer not any type of disc for XP Imaging tool.  At this point, you will need to use a 3rd party program to accomplish the task.

• FAT32 formatting for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista

  How to format FAT32 file system for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista?

  Hi MVRMVR,

  Windows will work generally only format a drive in FAT 32 if it has a capacity of 32GB, no more. To format in FAT32, Yes, would need to create multiple partitions. This, of course, you don't want to do.

  I have not tried to format a large drive in FAT 32 but I guess that any third-party partitioning software (Acronis, Paragon etc.) would be able to do it without any problem. Alternatively you can do it from the Windows command prompt. For more details, see the link below:

• Drive hard County Bay & hard drive Bay opening in HP ENVY 15-3090

  Greetings,

  I have a HP ENVY 15-3090 ca I bought last year that I believe has a failing hard drive.  It's discs hard perfect excuse for me to install a larger (or more?) and I would like to ask for some information on the laptop.

  First of all, are there two hard drive bays or just one?  I know that I could use my optical drive to a new hard drive Bay, but I'd rather not.

  Second, how deepen access to the area of the hard drive Bay so that I can install it with a new drive hard (or readers?).  It is not immediately obvious to me how I could open this laptop at first sight and inspection, but I could be missing something painfully easy.

  Thanks in advance for your time, I appreciate it.

  Hello

  Your laptop has 1-Bay HARD drive: the drive sits under the same cover that conceals the battery.  There is a catch, you have to slide before that this coverage will release - see the description & images on Pages 43-44 of your & Maintenance Guide.

• Use the TC for backup and as external hard drive

  Hello

  Can I use TC for backup and as external hard drive?

  If yes then when it is full, TC erase my personal data I have stored in TC as a hard drive or erase the oldest backups?

  1. Yes, but you shouldn't. Your working data and backups must be on separate drives in case one of them goes down.

  2. Time Machine will not erase the data it did not originally there.

• I can read only half of my product key due to wear, but I need to reinstall xp on my hard drive again. How can I get the key?

  I can read only half of my product key due to wear, but I need to reinstall xp on my hard drive again. How can I get the key?

  If you can still boot your old disk, you can use a program such as one of them:

  KeyFinder: <> http://www.magicaljellybean.com/ >
  Belarc Advisor: <> http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html >

  to read the key out of your old system.

  Also note that if you have a system OEM and the OEM installation disks, the key can be incorporated in the installation discs and can not be necessary when your reinstalling Windows.
