• Satellite Pro 4280 - what is the size of the HARD drive?

  I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280. According to the manual, it should have a 6.0 GB HDD but in my computer it is shown as having only a 1.34 GB capacity.

  PS I formatted the disk to remove the former owner data and operating system and you have installed Windows 98SE

  [Edited by: admin]

  Hello

  Satellite Pro 428Xcdt was certainly delivered with 6 GB HARD drive.
  Are you sure that you have checked the size of the HARD drive correctly?

  I guess the 1.34 GB is a free space on the HARD disk.

• Paragon/Ghost: Create a bootable clone between the (hard drives of different sizes to)

  I was web-searching options of backup in the last days and want to settle on a solution of freeware Paragon or Ghost (I know that the latter meets the needs, but I wonder if the first can do with relative ease for a beginner). Here's the scenario:

  My current Toshiba Satellite A660 (PSAW3C-047017 model) running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The HARD disk is the disk HARD MK6465GSX from Toshiba (http://storage.toshiba.eu/cms/en/hdd/multimedia/product_detail.jsp?productid=341). I bought a small (500GB) Seagate Momentus XT, which has apparently Advanced Format. I guess the Toshiba HDD 512 bytes/sector, because nothing comes up in a search on the web for Advanced Format for this HARD drive.

  I would like the Momentus XT allows you to create a bootable to my Toshiba HDD clone. The Momentus XT will be in a pregnant that will interface to the portable computer via eSATA. After cloning for the Momentus XT, I would replace my Toshiba HDD in the laptop with the Momentus XT due to its superior performance. The Toshiba HDD becomes my HDD auxiliary (in the external case) for the cloning of the weekly. If nothing ever happens to the Momentus XT in the laptop, I can then take the Toshiba HDD out of the enclosure and put it in the laptop. However, this mode of use of the means I have to be able to clone initially Toshiba HDD Momentus XL, then clone in the other direction later.

  I read a lot about needing to be trendy, but not having alignment issues do not image, cloned, or formatted a hard drive before (except obey blindly support), I'm foggy on the understanding. Seagate announced their SmartAlign technology, but there is no corroboration on its effectiveness and no info about HARD drive models have it. Because Windows 7 is described as supporting the AF, I guess that many of the issues identified by SmartAlign are nonissues to me.

  My concern is that if there are other traps due to the corresponding HDD sizes and sectors that could create problems for the cloning process, both the Toshiba HDD for the Momentus XT and vice versa. Consequences (and solutions) I'm trawling for are the inability to create a clone bootable, the completeness and accessibility of the clone and align content makes this performance impact (with the exception of those to avoid due to the use of Windows 7).

  A friend I know that Ghost will properly manage the HARD disk and differences in size of the sector gracefully, avoiding the above consequences. I was wondering if freeware Paragon will handle this scenario as well. Paragon is free, but apart from the functional qualities, I would also consider ease of use in order to take a decision on the two.

  Thanks for any comment on the ability of Paragon freeware to manage this scenario, the comparison of usability of Paragon & Ghost for this scenario, and anything else you think is relevant in the choice between them for my scenario.

  In my opinion, this question should be forwarded to the Paragon supports.
  http://www.Paragon-Software.com/support/
  Check the knowledge base or the forum of the community.

  From my point of view, you must first create a Toshiba Recovery disk.
  In this case, you are always secure you can set the laptop back to factory settings, even if the HARD drive was going to die or the system would begin to run crazy.

  I have used Ghost in the past in order to back up my files. I created an image of my two partitions bootable file and this race smoothly unfortunately cannot say on Paragon or compare both applications.

• Satellite C660 - update the HARD drive firmware question

  I have satellite C660 with hard drive: MK3275GSX, firmware: v.GT001M. On another Web site support site I found the update of firmware for v.GT002D ([link: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/mw/en/mwdhs1/DriverDetails/Product/latitude-e6330?driverId=FP21C&fileId=3126089791&osCode=W732 & languageCode = en]).

  Can I use this update?

  Question may be stupid, but why firmware update HARD drive? Over the past 10 years I ve ever installed an update of the HARD drive.

  If Toshiba support doesn t offer an official update on the download page, I think that you don t need.

• The recovery disk is sensitive to the size of the hard drive?

  Hello

  I just bought my new laptop Satellite.

  I have owned one of these puppies before and so I know that the Toshiba recovery disc is a ghost image.

  What I did is erased the hard drive clean because it's a piece of the circuit city showroom and t couldn't trust what was out there.

  I put Ubuntu on the laptop. I want to put Vista on a VM.

  As you can imagine, the virtual machine would have much less space than the actual size of the hard drive (200 GB) but of course, large enough to accommodate the installation of vista and all the goodies of Toshiba.

  With this all said, the image will be cough, hanging and allows me not to install during installation of the ghost due to the different size image in space? So say the laptops hard drive space, it is 200 GB, but I only allocated 50 GB virtual hard disk.

  Now I don't have a version of the class my program of schools Microsoft vista legitimate business, but I would use the home premium came with the laptop and use that Toshiba had provided me.

  Then, going to work, or it will not?

  Thank you for your comments.

  > I wonder what the disc labeled "Toshiba recovery disk' which is come with my new laptop that I just bought actually is then.
  Don t confuse boyfriend new Toshiba with Vista OS notebooks are equipped with HARD drive recovery option. But it also contains an option to create a recovery DVD in case the HARD disk will fail.

  If you buy an old series laptop with Win XP, then it might be possible that you don t have the option to drive HARD recovery, but instead, you've got a recovery disk.

  As you said above; the recovery disk contains an image (I doubt it s a ghost still image) that contains an operating system Windows, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.

  Good bye

  P.S. - sorry for peut English

  Hello

  Are you sure that the HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS?
  Seems that the laptop does not support the new drive (100 GB, 7200 RPM).

  Perhaps because of the large size of HARD drive and the fast rotation value.
  I would try to use a 60GB 5400 RPM a 80 GB HARD drive maybe works but it seems that the 100 GB HARD drive is not compatible

• Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!

  Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!  Gee, who could have possibly guessed that would happen?  I tried all kinds of silly workarounds, I found on the internet, but still it will not register the stack of DVDs and other discs I have.

  If you're like me and upgraded your iMac that came with a cd/dvd drive internal... so he has to come out to give way to the fusion or the SSD drive, do NOT buy the apple superdrive.  It will work with your computer!

  Think I'll get a laptop samsung...

  Ironic, isn't it? Own Apple SuperDrive will not work with Apple computers. Shame you don't check here first that we would have warned you. Return Apple overpriced and buy a nice third-party player for a third of the price. I love the LG units. You can consider a loading plate because they are more reliable, and you can use these pesky disc when you get one.

• Envy 15-j059nr: Envy 15-j059nr would not start Windows after update to win10 now the hard drive is missing

  This system worked before Windows 8.1 it has been upgraded to Windows 10 last year. It's my boyfriends computer and last night it kept getting blue screen dreaded with errors on his hard drive. He kept ignoring. Then, his computer's battery died and when he started upward, he could get a blue screen and act as if it would repair itself and would just start all over again. He was going in a loop. He did not know what he was doing, but searched on the Internet and ended up messing around any more.

  Its installation was 850 GB HD 3 partitions, it was set up as a Raid was one the main C drive, one was the restore disc and the other hides. He changed the disk. He changed a few things in bios too, but I don't know exactly what.

  The problelm I have right now, is that when that I boot without the USB bootable media, I created, I'm stuck at a screen that says there is no startup disk and no installed operating system and press F2 to run Diagnostics. When I run the diagnostics, just fine, no errors.

  When I try to recover, repair, reimage or anything other that to reinstall, it goes back to the screen I mentioned above which does not allow me to do anything about this either, with the exception of past at the command prompt, which is X and not C. I did a dir/w and only seen the windows files are here , but under the users directory, documents and images are empty, so don't know if it's even watch what I think it is.

  When I want to install Windows 10, everything goes smooth and then bam, he wants that pilots. I can't find the drivers for this laptop who don't have the .exe and require installation. This notebook is not a CD/DVD player on it. I don't mind doing a reformat and start all over, if I could recover his pictures on his hard drive. They are his grandfather.

  Help, please!

  Thank you in advance!

  AggieFan378

  You are the very welcome.

  Unfortunately, I woudn't be able to help you with that.

  I'm afraid that the PC is now a useless paperweight because of the BIOS update has failed.  There is usually no recourse other than to replace the motherboard.

  If all goes well, you were able to recover the files before that happened, and if not, get a SATA cable adapter USB and read the hard drive on another PC.

• Help a fool please ~ deleted partition, lost the hard drive size

  I'll try my best to make this as clear as possible, thank you for your time...

  Received my free copy of windows 7 home Premium

  Wanted a clean install (not an upgrade)

  Back up all the data and the programs that I installed

  During the installation of win 7, I deleted the recovery of the system partition and the 2nd partition of my HARD disk (has been labeled d, came that sort of lenovo factory, had 70 GB size I think)

  I thought that if I deleted the partition of the hard drive space would be added to the 1st partition and it did not

  Have materialized with the installation of win 7, and now I just have never found my C: and the GBs of the 2nd old partition so its as if I lowered my total HARD disk size

  How can I get my C: to have all of the 320 GB? Thanks for any advice!

  You can allocate the unused disk space as follows.

  Start > run > diskmgmt.msc

  Right-click on the Windows partition [should be C] and click on "expand". Extend partition as needed and enjoy.

• What is the hard drive more large size taken supported by the HP Pavilion a6650f?

  Hello, I have a HP Pavilion a6650f that I got from a friend a few years ago.

  I'm looking into upgrading the hard drive to a SATA 1 TB or 2 TB drive. The vehicle currently has a 80 GB IDE drive. I know it is originally with a 500 GB SATA drive (which was later to be defective, so he gave it to me after his warranty missed).  The original drive left after that (of course) missed coverage.

  He currently runs Ubuntu Linux 12.04 EAP 32-bit.

  This PC would be able to use the 2 TB drive Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 7 200 RPM?

  http://microcenter.com/product/386364/Barracuda_2TB_7, 200_SATA_6Gb-s_35_Internal_Hard_Drive_ST2000DM...

  The computer should be fine with SATAII disks up to 2 TB. Greater than 2 to cause problems for you. In addition, you may need to update the drivers for the readers of Format 'Advance '.

• How to upgrade the size of the hard drive and transfer all THE OS/software/data (image) of the original disk?

  HP desktop with a HDD normal computer. Win Vista 64-bit Windows.  But the question is generic for another one with Win7 and another with XP.

  The problem is that I want to do is to replace the hard drive with a new fresh Plus unit.  I want to keep exactly the same software as that on the original disc.   I want to know how to transfer data from the old disk to the new image.   I remember the old days BACK to copy just the files copy very well, but OS files data files and startup records, etc. etc. should be in areas on the disk, so you can not just copy the.  I know there are software packages ghosts to even a backup image to a computer, to recharge on a true double drive on a death warrant of the disc, but is it the same path to use for an upgrade?   Then, there will be no problem with MS or others by looking at the serial number of the disc material and decide on their software are installed on a new machine without a license?  etc.

  All experienced suggestions would be appreciated.

  IE brand disks: Seagate, WD, and a few others provide the software with the package of disk or from the Web site that allows cloning on the same drive size, but for a larger drive.  Acronis will be similar.  As long as the size of the disk is not unreasonable, they do it quite easily.  Depending on the age of the system, however, some may not tolerate the readers more great or the more recent huge 2 TB.

• Must the updates and hot fixs remain on the hard drive after having been loaded? Is the information provided in the operating system?

  Original title: need for disk space

  Here are the official specifications of Toshiba for your PC...

  http://support.Toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?ContentId=638405&isFromTOCLink=false

  All interface PATA (IDE) connectors are a standard 40 pin.

  I know that there is no restriction on the mixture of ATA drives with different speed capabilities and no restrictions on what cable you use, whether 40 wire or 80 strand (but still 40 pins).

  Faster drives will only work at the speed of the slowest car on any cable and 80 strand cables are needed to make ATA66 or higher drives run at their native speed.

  In addition, no player can work faster than the motherboard chipset permits, in your case ATA66.

  My provider of trade has still some disks 3.5 '' PATA in stock, but these are becoming harder and harder to find. Indeed, it is possible that production has ceased and that suppliers are just exhausted stocks.

  I can certainly say that, when repairs this technology were more frequent, I never had problems with discs theoretically faster on the same cable as slower drives, nor by using faster on 40 cable strands discs. In fact, of many penny pinching manufacturers (some of them major) regularly used for the optical drive and hard drive on the same cable as the motherboard has two connectors, resulting in a decrease in performance on the disk hard (although most of the people would not have noticed the difference). Sometimes, the cable would be 40 strand (understandable if you are penny pinching) and sometimes the cable would be 80 strand (laughable if you are penny pinching because they are [were] more expensive).

  Pass your question about vacant below the sound card. Unless your text confused me, this space is for expansion cards no disk drives. Space that you reference is probably to the back of the PC. Hard drives are normally located toward the front of the dedicated PC "berries". Unfortunately, I could find no photo on the Toshiba site, and still less those internal.

• Update of Vista 32 bit does not work after replacing the hard drive

  A month ago the hard drive of my computer (ACER Aspire 6920) had to be replaced. The disk image hard precedent (which includes the c: with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, SP 2 build 6002) has been mirrored to the new hard drive. Everything seemed to work fine until I noticed that I don't have more updates from Microsoft. I tried a manual update and got the message that the update service was not working and I have to restart the computer. However, the Task Manager showed that the update service has been executed. Of course, I rebooted the computer, but nothing has changed.

  I found a whole bunch of recommendations for this issue in this forum, but nothing seems to work:

  • The Microsoft FixIT tool indicates a problem with the update of components, and then said that the problem had been solved successfully. However, the problem is still there and rerun the FixIt tool Gets the same message on a problem (yet) found and fixed.
  • I also stopped the update service, delete all content in Windows/C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and restarted the service. without success.
  • I've temporarily disabled my security suite (Eset Smart Security 6) and tried the update. I also have fittings the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to the scope of the antivirus, without success. On the old hard drive, I used a different security suite so I thought that maybe the ESET (that I installed everything recently) could be the cause of the problem, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
  • I also followed the instructions provided by Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058, but again, no change at all. However, it should be noted that registering some DLLs that Microsoft listed does not work (message that the DLL is not found or some server entry point (my translation, I'm using the German UI and don't know English good term; sorry) could not be found.)

  Http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 , I found another tool that supposedly can solve some problems of updating; I downloaded the version for Vista 32-bit, but it cannot install it on my computer (error code = 0xc8000247 during installation).

  So I'm really lost now what else to do. I would appreciate any suggestions. Please note that I am not technically very warned :)

  ARG, apologies.

  Was not aware that they had dropped support for Vista... (I myself have 'graduated' Vista earlier)

  The fact that you have not already installed TSRI is exactly your problem.

  Recent hard drives using 'Sectors 4 K', also known as 'Advanced Format Technology'.

  If the installed hard disk driver currently is not compatible with this specification,

  It will result in oddities like the status of the service Windows Update is not recognized correctly.

  Installation TSRI will fix this in most cases.

  Alternatively, if you are using Vista SP1 or later version (or 7 SP1), you can use the real driver.

  Since you are already updated to SP2, we will see if it is a viable solution.

  Go to: start-> Control Panel-> programs-> programs and features

  In the list of installed programs, locate and remove if found.

  -Intel Matrix Storage Manager

  -Intel Turbo Memory

  This should force your computer to go back to the real driver provided by Vista.
