• Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite A100-906 with 160 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

  Hello guys,.

  First of all, I would like to congratulate all the people here for their good advice.
  As for my question, I want to upgrade my HARD drive. I have the laptop A100-906, which has a drive HARD 100 GB 5400 RPM Hitachi.

  The hard drive, I would like to buy, is also Hitachi but with the highest capacity (160 GB) and RPM faster (7200 against 5400).
  I wonder, if my laptop supports this drive and if I have problems with temperature and noise, because the HARD drive runs at 7200 RPM.

  To summarize the above, is it really useful to replace my old 5400 RPM HARD drive to a new 7200 RPM?
  Should I buy a new one with 5400 RPM to avoid having problems of temperature and noise?

  Please let me know your opinion and thank you in advance.

  Hello

  As you already know we can only speculate on the size of the HARD disk
  In my opinion the 160 GB would be possible. But it s just my personal opinion.

  In any case, the higher speed (7200 RPM) HARD drive should be a problem. I noticed that many laptops use 7200 RPM HDDs and 5200 RPM. So I imagine that the heat produced by the HARD drive shouldn't t increase the level of temperature at a critical level.

  If you have files of worksheet they can very well be compressed. If you have files, installation files, they can also be good candidates. Web pages are also good candidates.

  In Windows Explorer, blue file names means Tablet (it is the file system compression not aka zip files compressed files). Green filename means Encrypted.

  To disable file names colored, in Explorer - Tools menu (Alt + T)- display tab and then clear the check box for Show encrypted or compressed NTFS in color .

  Hello. I so want to know if there is a way to keep the photos on icloud and get them deleted on your iphone, so that there is no problem of storage of the device.

  iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.

• The warranty will be void if I upgrade the RAM on the Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3-581?

  The warranty will be void if I upgrade the RAM on the Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3-581? I read that one of the slots of RAM is expandable to 8 GB. Also some of the models M3 have SSDS, according to my specifications mine is not, is it possible to put my own in?

  Thank you.

  Nice day

  1. regarding upgrading to SSD and memory size max, please send me the part number of your machine or your serial number and I will advise you with accurate information.

  2. with regard to upgrading the ram, you can do it, BUT if damage you no matter which component while improving the security, then the warranty is voided. Also note that if you upgrade the ram, Acer will only cover its own warranty parts. If the ram you add becomes faulty, you will need to return the ram to the person / reseller you buy.

• G71-340US notebook - a disc will modernize a SATA 3 GB/s 7200 RPM drive work?

  The 320 GB drive that came with my laptop G71-340US is short of space, and I want to spend at least a 500 GB drive.  An upgrade to a SATA 3 GB/s 7200 RPM drive work? My thoughts are that if I upgrade the disk I might as well get a faster at this point drive if the G71-340US laptop will support it.

  Thanks much for any help!

  Hello

  On some models, there are problems with 500 GB HARD drive. It is safer to stay with 320 GB drive HARD and just get the external HARD drive. If you have a chance, so it is interesting to test this great HARD drive. You can only check it is detected by the Bios or not.

  If you are in the United States, then from there what I remember that Newegg offer return policy for what does not work for you.

  You have 30 days for this step. Please check this information on your own because I'm not sure of him.

  7200 RPM HARD drive runs faster and you will feel this change for you.

  If you want to change the HARD drive for the biggest or fastest then you should use clonning like EASEUS Todo - Backupsoftware.

  It will copy everything from old HDD again and allow you to use your system without having to reinstall.

  See this tutorial. You will find information how to use this software.

  You will need 2.5 "SATA external enclosure. Get in this new HARD drive and connect it to your laptop via USB.

• Will there be any problem of reactivation after the XP system restore?

  I just do a system restore (if out-of-the-box original factory of the machine) to a disk image.  After starting in Windows XP Pro SP2 I have entered configuration information initial requested as well as (as requested) Windows product key, but I jumped the (reactivation) activation step for now.  The motherboard has been replaced a year ago and I added RAM.  I all provided with the machine when you purchase including an OEM Windows XP SP2 "Recovery disc".  Will I have problems trying to activate/reactivate Windows or do I have to call Microsoft customer service to begin with.  Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

  If the replacement motherboard was provided by Dell and Windows XP is as you mentioned a Dell OEM Dell recovery disk is required to provide support by Dell with Microsoft license agreement. If the computer is still in warranty, then support should be free.

  Activation should not be a problem as long as the product key belongs to the OEM recovery disk.

• Mid-stop import iPhoto because "there was a problem downloading, one of the photos?

  I tried to import the 7000 + pictures on my phone to my macbook like 10 times but every time it stopped at halfway and stated that it cannot be completed because there was a problem of downloading an image. I then tried to import the first two hundred or two and he did the same thing. Then I imported the fifty first, and they've been through. So I continued past by fifty until I couldn't and tried to figure out if there was a photo or an image type (forfeiture slow-mo, time, etc.) who could not go to iPhoto (I don't know if it's one thing, I didn't know what it could be). So there was a slow mo video in a bunch and I deleted it but it still does not work and so now I do not know what that prevents my phone to import. If anyone knows, please help! I have more storage on my phone and desperately need these photos out (but remove them is not an option, I already went through and deleted screenshots and other things I don't want / need). Please please please give suggestions!

  Can you get the material with the Image Capture (in the Applications folder)?
