• ThinkPad z60m hard drive upgrade

  Hi all I have a thinkpad z60m I bought for a price very low. When I bought the laptop, it has been configured with processor 1.73GHz PM, 256 MB RAM and 40 GB HDD. I've already updated the memory to 2 GB to speed it up and it works well but I am now running out of space, and I want to switch the hard disk. Does anyone know the maximum capacity that can handle this laptop? It says in the manual that it can handle a maximum of 100 GB hard drive. But I came across this site Web offers a 160 GB HDD at 7200 RPM which is supposed to work with z60t z60m and t60 thinkpad. I cannot more than 100 GB for the main hard drive? Anyone here has tried to install a larger than 100 GB HDD main to a z60m? It work? I know I have a lot of questions, but I hope that someone could help me. Thanks in advance!

  Welcome to the forum!

  You can install a HARD drive larger than 100 GB to your machine, no problem. The reason why you see a limit of 100 GB in release documents is the fact that it was available at the time the largest HARD drive...

  I hope this helps.

• ThinkPad series Hard Drive Bay adapter III as main hard drive?

  Hi all

  my work laptop is a 400 T running on Win XP. I would like to start an installation of Windows 7 on a hard drive physical which is not possible with my employer in the near future.

  My idea is now to have a second HD in the Hard Drive Bay adapter III series (let's say that the)

  ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive of 320 GB at 7200 RPM) on which I'd install Win 7. I would then configure the adapter Bay to be the first HD to boot from. I would reconfigure the system to use the internal HD every time I need Win XP with the company of my other stuff.

  I don't want to install Win 7 in another partition I want to take the risk of what going to the XP machine ;-)

  The scenario described above is valid or I have to take account of anything else?

  Thanks in advance!

  saschabeltz, welcome to the forum,

  as the States of cassio , you can boot from a hard drive in the Bay adapter. The best way to do it, after you install in the main Bay is to press F12 at startup; This will allow you to choose the device you want to boot from.

• Secure Hard Drive wipe for Poweredge 2950

  Hello, I recently got a hold of a Dell Poweredge 2950 but until I can do something with it. I need to clear safe hard drives with killdisk (or something similar that will provide newspapers) and I have problems with what I believe, it is the raid controller. I followed these instructions

  http://sysadmin-e.com/securely-wiping-hard-disk-drives-on-Dell-PowerEdge-servers-with-BartPE-and-kill-disk

  and came very close, but it did not work. I have when I get on the use of killdisk for windows, I am able to see the virtual drives all named with the perc 5 / i but later I receive errors when trying to erase the drives. I'm starting to think that it is not possible at this point, the Active Server, but I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this or advice and assistance. Thank you.

  Why do you need to erase the discs on the receiving server safe?  It is usually the responsibility (desire and political) of an organization, before getting rid of a system/disk.

  Are these SAS or SATA drives?  You could attach them to a JBOD controller (PERC 5 support NOT of JBOD/no RAID), and then do the wipe directly to disk without the need to manage virtual disks on the controller.

• Why my external hard drive cannot be mounted or viewd by a Macbook

  Hello

  I can't see my HD exertenal from the finder.

  I do not have G-Tech HD and I use with TimeMachine. This HD has two partitions.

  The first is used for the backup with Time Machine, a macbook air, and the second partition is used to back up a macbook pro with Time Machine.

  It worked fine until I look in the external hard drive (partition macbook). Now, it is not possible to mount the external hard drive. From the Finder, I see no partition eighter the first or the second.

  I plugged it in an another mAcbook air and no way to see inside the external hard drive.

  Howerver, I pluggged in a 14.04 ubuntu and I was able to navigate through the external hard drive

  Why can I see the contents of the external HD with a ubuntu n not with a Macbook?

  And how can I solve this problem?

  See you soon

  El Capitan has permissions configuration much tighter than earlier versions of Mac OS X and it can become a problem to open files from a different computer. You need to tell us what OS you are running on all computers.

  I suspect that Ubuntu is having no problem because it does not under the same restraint of permissions.

  It worked fine until I look in the external hard drive (partition macbook).

  What you have done here, caused the change of permissions.

  Don't forget that connect a player directly on a computer and use it plugged into an airport will have different permissions issues.

  I don't have much in the way of a solution. Apple has changed repair them permissions on El Capitan.

  You have a Mac running an earlier version of Mac OS X?

  If your two partitions are used just to make the Time Machine backups...

• Stor.e TV - last 23% space HARD drive cannot be used

  Hello

  I bought a multimedia hard drive 1.5 TB Stor.e TV.

  I recorded 1.4 TB VOB files and some files are ilegibles (the last copied files).

  After deleting some files, leaving the 23% of free space and compress the disk, reads all the files that remain, even files that before, could not be read.

  The problem is that there are 23% of disk space that can be used.

  A friend who has the same drive has the same problem.

  Greetings

  Hello

  I could imagine that not all the files have been copied properly to the TV Stor.e because of the missing space and this could be the reason why you were not able to play the latest bearable files.

• External Toshiba 320 GB of HARD drive cannot be recognized on Powerbook G4

  OK, if I get a new external hard drive and it will not pop up on my desk. It is a portable external hard drive (320GB) of Toshiba USB 2.0.
  It has a blue led that lights up when I plug it into my powerbook G4, but other than that, I can't find any recognition of it on my computer.

  The other day before this one, I bought another brand, and it was the same result.

  Any ideas?
  Where can I check the settings of 'visibility' (right term?)?

  Also of note: I have a printer that plugs into USB and it works very well. Also I have an iPhone that works very well with the computer and another (independently operated) external drive that works.

  Is it possible that I would need to remove the software for the other drive? Doesn't seem likely, but I'm at a loss.

  Thanks for reading and for any help!

  I don't use no matter what mac operating system, so I can't tell you if there is an option that makes the HARD visible disc.

  But you do not have any disk utility?
  Or does first be formatted to HFS file system?

  And what software use to the other drive?

  Sorry, but these are only rough thoughts, as I'm really not familiar with these operating systems.

• Newly installed hard drive, cannot get the reinstallation of Windows 7 to the end

  Hi all. My factory-issued Seagate 1 TB hard drive of origin provided with my PC Pavilion Elite HPE-240f failed a few months ago and I finally had time to fixation (rock a Pavilion dm4 laptop in the meantime, I'm not in a huge rush). I replaced it tonight with a Western Digital Blue 1 TB hard drive, which I know is Advanced Format.

  I love HP platform minor changes in the the Windows 7 OS, I went ahead and tried to reinstall the OS of my recovery disks that I made when I got this PC. I checked the BIOS settings and the new hard drive WD IS recognized, the size is correct, etc. It has been configured in RAID with the SATA controller, and I tried to put out when the installation of the operating system initially lacked AHCI. It seems to be stuck in some kind of loop in the final configuration step, and I get out of the dialog box "Installation of Windows set up Windows to run on a hardware on this computer" could not. Hit Okay sends in reboot and after that I get a "Windows is unable to complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation"notice.

  It makes me batty, and I really want my back office. This is a great machine, and as much as I love my laptop, it can't handle heavy programs like Photoshop or my multitasking fool. I managed to get the OS installed by forcing the system to bypass its system predefined through registry commands, but the important things were wrong, as Windows Update does not work, so I'll try to reset all with only recovery disks. So far, no go. I am extremely tired, frustrated, and it's late, so apologies for what I've left out or of typos. Any help on how to solve this problem is GREATLY appreciated.

  Thank you very much for your response, @MechPilot. I actually found what I thought, it's perhaps the question a day or two before your answer: my computer was manufactured and purchased just before October 2010, which has been cut for restoration placed disks shaped for the drives non - Advanced Format. All the following which has been reformatted accordingly. I contacted HP and bought the replacement of the recovery discs (made in 2012), that I received yesterday. After several hours of nerves and finger-crossing, it worked like a charm. The operating system has successfully recovered, and I couldn't be happier!

  I answer computer said of office right now, in fact! Thanks again.

• my hard drives cannot be defragmented? Why?

  12%.After Defrag before defragmentation using Disk Defragmenter, I checked the State of fragmentation of a disk is hard to show the same.again... using tune up utilities I defragmented my hard drives.but before and after defragmentation percent the framentation had even... Why so happening? / What is the * responsible for that?

  Download and run Defraggler (freeware), you will be able to things by yourself:
  http://www.Piriform.com/Defraggler/download

  Analyze and click file list and you will see a complete list of fragmented files. After defragmentation, click analysis and review the list of files. You will see the system restore points still listed and others he is unable to defragment.

  Your 3D movie file is very big, so attempts to defragment, it may not work. The only way to defragment very large files is to copy them to another partition / drive. Delete the file in the first drive / partition and defragment the partition, including the free space (a Defraggler option). You can then copy the video file and you have a good chance that it will not be fragmented. If fragmented if will be less fragmented than before you started. If you download large defrag before you download files will help.

  If you have a managed Windows swap file, it can be difficult to not see large files not fragment. The problem is that the pagefile can be multi fragmented which in turn fragments of free disk space. Defragmenters do not defragment a swap file, and these are building blocks on the disk. That is why I recommend to have a fixed minimum = maximum pagefile. However on a well filled partition (less than 60% free space) it becomes gradually more difficult to create a swap file single fragment.

• New hard drive, cannot connect to PES on the second computer

• Moved files on external hard drive cannot find my changes in lightroom

  I use Lightroom 4 on a Mac.
  I moved recently all my photos on an external hard drive, and nothing I've read yet could help move my images edited in Lightroom.

  In lightroom, beside the heading folder I clicked on the + and added my external drive - it shows it's Green and alive.

  All the pictures I had initially recorded on my Mac hard drive are now showing on external drive - good.

  In lightroom, the subfolders in my Mac hard drive are now show with question marks that files are missing - who they are, because they are now on my external hard drive.

  What is my problem, all the editing I did on these photos in lightroom before is now gone. How do the editing work I had done on these photos to appear on the external hard disk images? If I look at my pictures on the hard drive of the Mac, they show they have faded and disappeared, but it shows all my changes again on the photos. External hard disk, it shows the original version of the image with no changes made.

  Note: I backed up my computer before moved me all my photos, so if I need to put them on hard drive on my mac, I am able to do.

  Update

  I have solved my problem. If someone comes across the question I was trying hard, I suggest to try move the files from WITHIN lightroom.

  Initially, I had used my OS to move my files to image on an external hard drive, by simply drag and drop. Lightroom was not able to keep the editing I did on these pictures after that that they were moved. I restored a backup on my Mac and place the files in their original location. Then within the lightroom program, I was able to move the folders from photo (with modifications) on my external hard drive.
