The G550 hard drive upgrade

• 8900 of the XPS hard drive upgrade

  Hello

  I recently bought a desktop computer Dell XPS 8900 running Windows 10. I would like to replace the original 1 TB harddrive with a 6 TB drive. Both are Seagate disks.

  My plan was to copy all of the original content of drive to the new drive. This includes the Windows partition and 4 partitions hidden of Dell.

  I used Acronis True Image 2016 to make the clone and it worked except that all the partitions are exactly the same size as the original drive and I get about 561 GB of unallocated space at the end.

  Acronis software seems to include controls to change the size of the partition, but I can't expand any partition. In addition, I notice that if I do not clone one of the partitions it is always created on the other drive, but without any content. So it seems I can't change the partitions at all.

  What I wanted for the scores of Dell to stay the same size but the Windows partition would develop and use all other non allocated space. As it is now the 6 TB drive might work, but most of its space is unusable.

  I tried a partition also software with without success. So, where will I leave here to copy the hard drive without a large recovery effort?

  Thank you

  Mike

  UPDATE:

  After many hours of grief and dead ends, I found a solution to my problem.

  First of all, this link describes the Dell recovery options. (Add w for posting a link)

  ww.Dell.com/support/article/US/en/04/SLN297920?c=US&l=en&s=BSD&CS=04

  I did not like these options and didn't try. I guess they would only restore the image 1 TB. Instead, I decided to clone the drive.

  I used a free version of Macrium Reflect this. The target drive has been connected via USB. Despite their claim that I could use the software to resize partitions, I was unable to change partitions and ended up with a copy of 1 TB. In addition, they have no support for their free version. But I had a clone of work on my new 6 TB drive.

  Then, I used AOMEI Partition Wizard free Version to merge the OS partition and unallocated space. To do this open the program, do a right-click on the OS partition and choose 'Merge the Partitions' then select 2 partitions you want to merge (OS and unallocated space) and then select 'OK '.  The computer will restart several times, and when it was done my OS partition was 5,44 TB.

  Good luck if you try it yourself.

• The DM1z hard drive upgrade

  Hello

  I want to improve my DM1Z Notebook PC configured with hard drive of 320 GB/7200 RPM-64-bit Windows 7 to 750 GB.

  I read in the specifications that the hard drives compatible with this camera are:

  • 750 GB-5400 RPM
  • 640 GB 5400 RPM
  • 500 GB, 7200 RPM
  • 320 GB, 7200 RPM
  • 250 GB, 7200 RPM

  Is there a technical reason why this unit does not support hard drives 640 GB and 750 GB at 7200 RPM?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Fortunately, it will support hard disks that you mention at 7200 RPM, even if the compromise is a little less time battery and a little more heat (but really nothing significant).

  You cannot use an upgrade disc to install an OS on a new hard drive.

  You could clone the old hard drive to the new hard drive using a program like Macrium reflect free

• HP elitebook 8570w: advise the hard drive upgrade

  Hello

  Recently, my hard drive stopped with the work. I have a HP elitebook 8570w. The current hard drive that had a 7200 RPM. Now, I noticed my laptop starts heating fast enough. I was wondering what hard drive, I could choose to prevent this from happening so fast.

  Should I choose a SSD driver?

  They are faster than a HARD drive?
  They produce less heat, less power?

  Should I choose a hard disk of variable?

  Hello

  I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

  Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

  I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

• Install Windows 7 upgrade on the new hard drive?

  I have the Windows 7 upgrade version that I installed last September, but a few days ago my hard drive died.  How do we install the version 7 upgrade on the new hard drive without using a previous version of windows on it?

  In order to install the Windows 7 upgrade version, you must have a system of eligible operating Windows installed and activated.  You cannot install a version upgrade of Windows 7 on a drive blank.  The installation procedure you do not insert a Windows disk in the drive for verification, eligible operating system must be installed.

  If you do not have a qualification system of operating Windows installed with an activated genuine license, then you can not use the version upgrade of Windows 7 - you would need a license of Windows 7 "full version".

  In summary:

  1. a Windows operating system to eligible address must be installed.
  2. the Windows operating system to eligible address must have a genuine license (product key) and it must be enabled.
  3. to upgrade, boot on the eligible Windows desktop, insert the Windows 7 upgrade disc in the DVD player.
  4. when the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.

  You should be able to repair the installation, if your installation one fall. I suggest create you a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to spare you the trouble if your computer one fall in the future.

  You can work around this two ways, I would suggest that you create a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to save you the trouble if your computer loses the system failure or instability. Since you are in possession of a valid license of Windows Vista for this computer, you can use the following method to do a clean install with upgrade support:

• Hard Drive upgrade - what is the best software to transfer information

  I don't know how to transfer files and folders, no problem, but I want to upgrade my hard drive but don't want to lose my settings or programs.  I don't want to start over.  I had success in the past with some programs when switching from an old computer to a new, but it will not work on the upgrade.  Anyone know of a program that will allow me to put an external information, install the new hard drive and install XP, then copy the original information and programs.  The challenge for programs to work properly.

  It's on an Inspiron 8600 running XP Pro.

• IBM Thinkpad with XP Home Edition preinstalled but no XP installation CD. Will need to re - install XP from CD after planned hard drive upgrade. How can I create a CD to install XP from the installed system?

  Hi, I bought an IBM Thinkpad with XP Home Edition pre-loaded in 2005 (the XP key sticker is on the bottom of the laptop), but did not receive an XP installation CD - I understand, it is a common practice. I want to improve the internal hard drive (for a bigger) then you will need to re - install XP from CD. They tell me that there is a way to create the XP (on the CD burner) installation installation CD but have no idea how. I can't imagine I'm the only person to have had this problem. Can you tell me where I can find the instructions how to do this please? Any help is welcome. Thank you very much.

  There are many cloning utilities, but I recommend Acronis True Image. You can clone your hard drive, then use TI to the image of your system and to make incremental backups. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Latitude D810 PATA for upgrade of the SATA HARD drive

  I have a laptop Dell Latitude D810, with an ATX hard disk controller interface (at least it is what I was told that I have, in addition the Linux kernel reports ATX so), but the installed hard drive is a Hitachi Travelstar 7 K 100 60 GB: HTS721060G9AT00, which a Ultra ATA drive with IDE interface. It connects to the motherboard with a Foxconn adaptor (p/n 59PJA). I have two questions:

  1. How can I be sure that I actually have an ATX interface for hard disks in my laptop?

  2 if I do, can I get an adapter to connect the hard drive to the ATX system board?

  
  

• XPS 410 (Dimension 9200) hard drive upgrade. What is the limit?

  Currently, I have 3 hard drives in my XPS410: year 80 to run programs and the Windows host and two 500 GB (configured as RAID1 for mirroring) for documents, music, etc. I make an edition of AVCHD movies and would like to add additional hard disks to my computer for storage/backup of the images.

  The two slots in the hard drive inside the case are busy. In addition, the 3rd hard drive lies in the 5.25 "bay - using an adapter. I have no floppy drive or media card reader. So, I think to put two hard drives in these slots and their establishment as a separate RAID1. Are there problems for 5 hard drives in this particular machine? I definitely have available SATA ports... Then the power supply handle this situation (my graphics card is nVidia GeForce 8300 GS)? Since space is tight in the area of card reader floppy/media, put two hard lead create a problem with the temperature of the hard drive?

  Thank you very much in advance for your time and help!

  I have the first two in the lower bays and the other two are in the two upper bays, which are for the floppy drive and the card reader. You don't need any additional hardware, just the additional screws that are already in the case.
