Tecrra A4: Need a 80-100GB HARD drive
My ATA-6 hard drive 80 GB on my Tecra A4 must have suffered some damage from shock at the beginning of his life. As he has dozens of defective sectors.
Tried to fix with various "smart" software And clean windows. They run for hours and nothing the player works, but you can't rely on it.
I think it's time to bite the bullet and get a replacement. I looked at the Toshiba MK1031GAS 100 GB (I guess that's a good compatible replacement).
I was wondering if anyone else had suggestions in the order of 80 to 100 GB?
Hello
On the market, there are two different Tecra A4: one with Intel-Celeron-M and the other with Intel-Pentium-M (Dothan) processor. The other is delivered with maximum 100 GB HDD. I put t know which one you have, but I assume that there should be no problem.
This unit has the ID PTA42E-XXXXX. Check it out. For more specific information please contact the SAV Toshiba partner in your country.
Good bye

Hello
You need two cables, one is a sata cable:
This cable is only for data and connect the hard drive to the SATA connector on the motherboard.
The other cable is energy:
http://www.itpartsdirect.com/STARTech-15-24cm-4-pin-Molex-to-SATA-power-cable-adaptor.html
It connects the hard drive to the PSU.
You can also buy a combo like this cable:

All you have to do is to connect the hard drive and that's it. Make sure that the main drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are the numbers 1, 2, 3...)

I need to format the hard drive but don't have the windows vista disc to reinstall, but have had the key code that vista was preinstalled do I have to buy a new drive for vista
Hello
How to reinstall Vista
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

I need to replace my hard drive in my Samsung laptop, I have windows 7
I need to replace my hard drive in my Samsung laptop, I have windows 7. I want to reinstall it on the new hard drive running on linux but on install windows 7 on a virtual hard drive, how can I transfer the activation code
In other words, you can't.
Assuming that your edition of Windows 7 is the one that supports the transfer of a virtual machine (i.e. the upscale home and more)...
You will need to do a clean install of the virtual machine, using the retail media and the key of the COA sticker.
You may need to activate by phone.
Note that Samsung have historically refused to provide any form of media except through a factory install. This means that it is almost impossible to install the original media for anything except the original disk, using the recovery partition.

Do I need a specific external hard drive to back up an iMac or I can use?
I learn by an advisor to apple support I need to update the software on my mac. Before doing that I have to back up using an external hard drive. Can I use any external hard drive or do I need a specific which is compatible.
You can use the time Capsule's internal drive or one regular, but will probably have to reformat a disk that is not specifically intended for Macs. Except otherwise stated, Time Machine and other products that require that the backup drive be formatted as Mac OS extended will not be able to go back to a dedicated NAS.

Thank you for any help you can give me BJ
When you request support, please provide the model name and product number complete (p/n) of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.
The information requested above are on the bottom, back, next to your computer or on the BIOS boot screen. DO NOT include your serial number.
Any hard drive should be able to work on your computer, as it is the same type of interface. After replacing the hard drive, you may need to check that it is seen by the BIOS.
After replacing the hard drive, use the HP recovery media that you created when you first set up your computer to return the computer to a factory State. If you don't create this media, media must be bought from HP customer care through a depression. This method can be valid in the United States and the Canada. Contact customer support and see if you can ask the media
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Hello
You can format with Windows itself during installation. You can also format with other software like Acronis driver cleaner, Partition magic, East-Tec DisposeSecure create a bootable media. I use them when I want to perform a low-level format, they are shareware, but you can find in Google how to activate the. You can also do a free search utility

Need info on the HARD drive adapter and utility installation Vista on Equium A110
I am the owner of a satellite A110 - 233 (PSAB2E), and I've recently upgraded to Vista after installing 2 GB of RAM. However, I was somewhat short space hard disk and I dealt with a new 120 GB HARD drive. However, it seems that the computer has an interface of edge, like the current Hitachi TravelStar HARD drive connector - it's not like there's a plug of the adapter on the disk. Anyone know where I can get an adapter for my hard drive of 40 pins 'traditional '?
After I installed Vista and flashing my BIOS, I have ConfigFree reiinstalled and value added package (among other pilots). However, running ConfigFree always leads to a crash with the ID of BSOD "NO_MORE_IRC_STACK_LOCATIONS."
In regards to the PPV, I mainly wanted it for energy savings. However, searching for him gives only 'Power Saver help'.Can someone give me guidance here? Thank you.
Hello
Did you know that you have a disk serial - ata of your machine which is not compatible with the standard IDE (40 pins)? You won´t get a spindle adapter 40 to serial ATA, SATA is a completely different technology to the IDE.
You will need to return the drive, you bought and buy a disc serial - ata, that will fit your machine.A small idea on my side about your BSOD:
Download the powersaver and the configfree for vista on the internet (it is a good address: http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp) and reistall that stuff, maybe it helps.

Need advice on replacing hard drive Toshiba
I have other manufacturers with a 60 GB MK6021GAS HDD Toshiba laptop. According to me, the hard disk is endangered and I want to shoot anything on the restore disc to another new. I need everything from the disk because the OS image is one that has been charged by the company, with that I have a contract and apparently the standard that came with the laptop is not compatible with their applications that I have also loaded on the laptop.
I don't want to travel more than 100 miles in business COMPUTING of offices to have another OS loaded on the new drive I did not, so what I guess I want to do is to create an accurate picture of the existing drive, then restore the image to the new drive when I get it.
I tried to make an image of the disc using Paragon exact Image 7 SE, but download from the failed hard drive on a dump of DVD disc fails consistently, after copying 1.6 Go Go 8,32, the statement that the hard drive is damaged.
Another piece of software, Active SMART also reports that of the disk failure is imminent, reporting a status of 'Bad' for this disc. I have run chkdsk many times over the past months on the hard drive and on a few occasions, he isolated the defective sectors. So, everything indicates that the days of the disk being really numbered.
I want to be able to do is buy another unit of MK6021GAS HDD and get all the files from that defective to the new without having to reload the operating system, data software application etc.
Is this possible? If Yes, what is the best way? How can I get all of the disc if this software Paragon doesn't let me extract everything? Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Phil.Hi Phil,
Your problem seems to be that certain parts of your drive hard existing cannot be read and thus your attempts to copy the data on the drive will fail. You will need to use a suitable backup utility must take into account segments on your drive so that you can get a copy of safety as much as possible your system.
I know that Norton Ghost has the option to ignore bad sectors when you take a backup (I myself have used in the past). You could then do a restore of the magnified image to a new disk, but if ignored bad sectors were in a critical area of the operating system, then you still have problems after restoring.
Alternatively, you can copy both of your personal folders as possible to an external support and then reinstall your OS from scratch even if obviously would need you a valid drive of installation/recovery of Microsoft (or OEM). You can then restore your personal files.

Can you please tell me what era the + key-points + I need to know when buying a new hard drive for my laptop?

I changed the subject, because it was so dumb. Why would I ask 'what hard drive buy' in a Toshiba forum :) what a forum administration...
Hello
Satellite A200 is a more recent series of laptops. This series of laptop use and support the SATA HDD controller and this means that you need a SATA HDD!
The laptop runs the 2.5 hard drives. The speed of the HARD drive is not very important for compatibility so that you can choose 4200 RPM or other
In addition the SATA controller has no limitation in size so THEORETICALLY, you should be able to use hard drives with 320 GB or more
But in some cases rare BIOS would not be able to manage some HARD drive sizes, but this generally isn't the case
