• Can satellite A100-847 - I replace my current HARD drive with a SATA2 HARD drive?

  Hello

  I am currently using a Satellite A100-847 with a 100 GB SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive. I plan to change with a Western Digital WD2500BEKT 250 GB SATA2 16 MB 2.5 inch laptop hard drive 7200 TRM. Is it possible to replace my current HARD drive which is SATA with a one SATA2?

  And if not what is my best option upgrade of the mine to a HARD fast (7200 RPM) disc?

  Hello!

  Yes, you can replace the current drive with a SATA2 HARD disk. You already have a SATA interface, and this means that you can use each HDD with SATA interface.

  I don't know Mr. but as far as I know the Satellite A100 cannot use the speed of SATA1. This means that the new HARD drive maybe won't work with SATA1 speed but there is no significant difference in performance.

  A HARD drive with 7200 RPM is really fast, but don t forget it produces more heat and needs more electric battery. A HARD disk at 5400 RPM is perhaps fast enough for you?

  After you replace CD/DVD player with HARD drive in the Bay of correspondence, I had a problem with the BIOS. After starting, I received a message 'there is not a boot manager' and CTRL + ALT + DELETE. So is that posible F9 and start to use Option manually hard. Please tell me what I should do to fix this problem.

  Thanks for your advice. I remember what I had to do in the BIOS. I had to choose the Boot Option and excludes "Boot from Bay upgrade". That's all. Of course subsequently followed "save all".

• Installation of a second HARD disk (slave drive) in an Inspiron 3646

  Can I add a second HDD (a slave drive) to an Inspiron 3646? It's a new I 3646, he replaced one consumed. I managed to save the hard drive and I would like to install it as a backup drive/extra storage.

  I can't find any technical information on the Dell website, no patterns or the FAQ.

  There are two bays 'open' on the rear of the case. It allows to install the reader?

  There is no cage attached to these berries or inside the case. Workaround is to make an external hard drive and plug in usb, but would rather put it in the box.

  Any suggestions? Thank you.

  Is it possible to remove the optical drive and replace it with a second hard drive?  This needs no additional hardware?  He would support a 3.5 or 2.5 "hard drive using this method?

  sdxm

  Yes, you could.

  There are two 5.25 "x 3.5" and 5.25 "x 2.5"Bay of converters available, probably 2.5 HD"would be the best fit, but you have to find a 5.25" virgins for the collar. [page 34].

  Hello

  my dvd drive not recogonising not any disk, I tried MS fixit but no resultsI.I use a Samsung dvd player in my Win 7

  Its possible that the cd/dvd drive does not, it can happen. Try a lens of dvd/cd cleaner to see if that helps.

  Make sure you have the latest drivers and software installed for the reader, if they are damaged, they may have to reinstall.

  If you haven't already done so, check out this article - https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/314060 that has a number of suggestions to try.

• Replace the DVD drive with lightscribe on Satellite M60

  Is it possible to buy a lightscribe for the M60 dvd drive replace a normal drive. I have a lot of videos that I made more certain that I bought and I transfer them to DVD, it would also be useful to label the disks that hold backups and plans that we use. I prefer the direct info disc rather then print the labels and stick them onto the disc printing. I can do the work myself if I get hold of the drive and the driver.
  There is still a lot more left life warranty Toshiba in the machine and I am reluctant to update. I have two other M60s in my office and they gave very good service.

  Thank you Russell.

  Hello

  If you take the risk that your warranty would be voided and you find a compatible player then do it. Sorry, but if I were you, I would buy an external USB-DVD/RW lightscribe capabilities. It s fast enough and he would support lightscribe that you need.

  It's the only option I'd choose, but I would´t screws my machine during the warranty only for some purposes "DVD-labeling"...

• w540 replace the cd for a second hard disk drive?

  Hello

  I ordered the thinkpad w540 last week. With a dirve normal hard drive and a CD compartment. I figured out after the arrivied to the computer I got a solidsate inside my xps 15 hp.

  In the best of cases, I would replace the CD drive, as says the config in the web page in timeline option could be done. How could I know if it is possible to replace the CD player with another hard drive?

  Otherwise I would try to replace the original disk for the solid state hard drive, but in this case I loose windows system 8. Is is possible to install again in the new hard drive with the same license?

  I was wondering just because it would be nice to keep the drive inside your computer instead of having to plug it in all the time, due to the faster speed, it would be good to use is as the primary dirver.

  Thanks in advance,

  -Jorge

  Hi, Jorge

  you will need an adapter "caddy" to house the second HDD/SDD. Ch right here in the forum, see http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?location=forum-board%3AW_ThinkPads&q=caddy... .

  For my W540, I use the caddy of http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=555 and have a very good experience over the years (W510, W520, W540...).

  Regarding replace drive HARD original with SSD, there are basically two possibilities - either you use the recovery option (create your own media - see google or trying to get a Lenovo - not sure it will work) or use a transfer software. I have used for years Acronis products, especially because it acknowledges the SSD and aligns everything as it should on SSD (won't go now too deeply in the alignment of industry and to this day).

  And if you want to run your W540 on steroids, alias max possilbe storage capacity, see my signature...

• Satellite A500-141 - the CD/DVD drive will not recognize any disk in the status bar

  I watch the DVD yesterday and he played upward halfway through and almost jerky. Ejected and thought no more of him now, the player will not recognize any disc, be it video or sound. I tried a system restore but still the same thing that it is not read disks. Any help appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi quietly,

  If your CD/DVD drive doesn't work, how do you have a system restore?

  Is the CD/DVD drive listed in Device Manager correctly or you see a yellow exclamation mark on it?

  Maybe the lens is dirty and must be cleaned with a Microfiber cloth. Open try CD/DVD and try to clean the lens with a clean Microfiber cloth.

• Satellite A200-21dts CD/DVD drive with a Blu - ray drive replacement

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite A200-21dts supplied with the mat * a UJ-850 drive.

  My original disk no longer works...
  I plan to buy a new one, but I wish that whoever has a buit in the Blu - ray dvd player.

  I've heard that not all players are working with Toshiba laptops, so I would like a little help to find a bluray player that would work with my laptop.

  Two readers caught my attention:
  the Panasonic UJ - 120 and the Sony BC 5500 has.

  These drivers work with Toshibas?
  Anyone have another suggestion?

  Thank you much for the help!

  Hello

  > These drivers work with Toshibas?
  I think you will have to test it yourself.
  As much as I know Toshiba didn t nothing said about Blueray players compatible Satellite A200.

  The fact is that not all readers are compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
  With the help of ODD is not compatible you will get an IDE #1 error and the drive will not be recognized by the BIOS.

  But I've read here in the forum that some guy managed to upgrade own Toshiba units with a blue ray player
  So I m thinking you've got a good opportunity to update.

• "Re: Toshiba M10: replacement 7 k 200 with Advanced Format HARD drive" 7 K 750 HDD

  Can we see problems with the replacement of the original Hitachi TravelStar 7 K 200 (200 GB) HDD, that went into my two year old Toshiba Tecra M10 - 11 X, with a so-called 'Advanced Format' 7 K 750 (750 GB or maybe 640 GB) hard drive?

  Like the original, I want to dual-boot the new disk using three partitions:
  * Windows 7 32-bit
  * Data
  * Windows XP
  and would probably clone one disk to another (by increasing the size of the partition!) with the v5 of Macrium Reflect.

  I read up on top of the TravelStar 7 K 750 form, the alignment tool from Hitachi, Microsoft KnowledgeBase article 982018 "an update that improves the compatibility of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Advanced Format drives is available" Bit-tech http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/sto...t-hard-disks/1and so forth, but wonder if anyone has actually replaced the HDD with all original Advanced Format drives and could therefore have a certain experience to share?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  "I put t have experience using this advanced Format ' 7 K 750 HARD drive but in my opinion he should not a problem using this HARD drive.
  The laptop supports the SATA interface and if this HARD drive would also support the SATA controller, the HARD drive should be recognized too

  But of course, it is my personal opinion...

• P6620: Installation of the second hard disk

  How to install a second hard drive (4 t) of my HP P6620?  I opened the box and there is no extra cable for adding disks hard disks/CD.  Two slots used for cables are currently being used by the installed hard drive and a CD player.

  Hi @jdrabourn!

  Since all SATA ports are used at the present time, you can go with a SATA multiplier in order to have more drive connected to your PC. Plug you it in to a single SATA port, but limited all disks to the SATA speed (for example 4 discs on a 6 GB/s aura port 1.5 Gb/s limit each). This is different from a RAID controller because controllers allow a potential speed on each disc while the multiplier limited all disks to the single port speed.

  Regarding the cables, you will need additional in order to connect additional HARD drive.

  Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

  See you soon!
