  the upgrade of my hard drive on an hp laptop.  How to create a windows cd?  KeyCode on laptop wallpaper

  You n "t do it this way.

  You use cloning software to clone your existing to the new disk drive.  For portable computers, you will need to purchase an external hard drive enclosure which is (a) compatible with your drive (SATA or PATA) interface and (b) compatible with external connections on your laptop (for example, USB, FireWire, eSata).  Do not spend a lot of money for this speaker ($ 10-$ 20).

  If your new hard drive Western Digital, you can get the free cloning (a 'special' version of Acronis True Image) of WD software (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list and is in no particular order):

  Acronis True Image Home 11
  EASEUS ToDo Backup
  Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
  Casper
  Norton Ghost

  The process is simple:

  1. Install the software on your laptop for cloning
  2. RTFM (do not skip this step)
  3. Install the new drive in the external case
  4. Connect new player to the computer
  5. Clone original disc on new drive
  6. Stop
  7. Unplug the external computer case
  8. Exchange records (original for external disk) and the new laptop drive
  9. Reboot and enjoy your new drive.

  When you know that the cloning operation was successful, format the old drive, which is now in the external case and use it for backup of data.

• HDX18: the upgrade of my hard drive

  I have a portable hdx18 I want to improve a few things on.  I thougt go to a SSD hard drive but do not know what is compatible with my laptop.  I've seen drives that specify the SATA, SATA II and SATA III.  Can you please help?

  On another note, I also want to upgrade the RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB.  I've seen some people say that their HDX18 can take memory DDR3.  Is this fair?

  Thank you, Henry

  The MX100 has generated some problems here, where HP laptops will not detect the SSD. So I would say on something other than this one. The model number of the laptop is usually printed on the bottom or in the battery bay.

• HP Pavilion Notebook PC g6: the upgrade of PC hard drive laptop HP Pavilion g6 - model no C4M01EA

  Hello

  I want to upgrade a hard drive of my laptop to 250 GB SSD drive.

  Did anyone of you has an idea about this?

  Disc specification hard existing is as below.

  • hard drives of 6.35 cm (2.5 in)
  • 9.5 mm (.37 inches) and
  • 7.0 mm (.28 in.) thick
  • Serial ATA (SATA)

  Please suggest me on this.

  Thanks in advance for your time.

  You can do it. Where are you located (country)? This will determine which brand of SSD can be purchased and at what price. If you can find the Samsung Evo 850 is a very good.

  G6-2213so is the model and here is a video showing the replacement hard drive.

  Here, the technician is not a question. You can avoid all eyes on the Bay coverage of service by pulling the battery Bay after removing the screws.

  We can also help to software migration / relocation if you have any questions on this subject.

• The upgrade of my hard drive

  OK, so I need to replace my hard drive. I will move to solid state. I'm on a mid range decent Toshiba which needs a little booster shot. 7, updated to 8 and 8.1 and, more recently, 10.

  Here's my question:

  With my previous laptop, I got the hard drive crash. Buy a new and got the message "Windows is not genuine" that eventually everything except my laptop brick. Microsoft contacted several times and just got screwed. They said that they could not validate my copy. I talked to a lot of people over several weeks. I bought the laptop for $1500 so it REALLY me upset that Microsoft screwed me over like that. I hate Apple so much, it would have been enough for me to jump ship. I bought my new laptop (Toshiba mentioned above) shortly after because I got a discount of killer through my University.

  My question is this:

  If I get a new hard drive, I do get high again and not be able to have Windows? Or something has been put in place to prevent that BS?

  As long as you have your product key code which proves that you bought, you can install it on any drive that you want to.

  you use a computer HP Acer OEM SLP key. It would never work.

  so, your bios date 22/04/2009 is before that windows 7 does not have a bios compatible win 7. your computer came with Vista.
  you will need to buy a genuine windows or go back to the windows with that your computer shipped.
  OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates.

• the upgrade of my hard drive on my pavilion dv7 4280us.with SSD

  Upgrade to ssd drive using my recovery disc to install windows 7 it to load any disc 5 restarts to the start SCREEN of the HP LOGO screen and it doesn't recognize the OCZ VERTEX 4 DRIVE I install.

  My PC IS Pavilion dv7 4280us.

  Hello:

  At less than your SSD is the same size or larger than the mechanical drive, that you have replaced, the recovery disks will more than likely working.

  An alternative to the installation of W7 (only if you can read the full product key 25 character), is to do this:

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

• The maximum size of HARD drive the BIOS sees in Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series systems

  I want to switch the HARD disk in my Satellite Pro 4340. I know the 4200 and 4300 SP series can take at least a 20 GB HARD drive that I've already updated a SP4270 and SP4280 drives from 20GB already.

  I did a search on assignments earlier re. Satellite Pro 4200 and computers portable 4300 series as various other contributors of this forum had already asked this question. A respondent suggested that they had installed a 60 GB HARD disk without problem.

  Someone at - it else mounted a big HARD drive (or more even) in these notebooks series 4200 and 4300 and managed to do work OK and had the BIOS to recognize the total size of the HARD drive?

  What is the largest swap HDD that someone did with success on these machines of 4200/4300?

  Unfortunately, you will not be able to find accurate information about it. All you can find are reports from other users. I am really interested about other views.

  By the way: 60 GB HARD drive is not sufficient for you?

• Satellite L20-182 (PSL2XE) & 120 GB HARD drive upgrade

  HELO :)

  I'm going to buy a new HARD drive and I think that about 120 GB but I.m not sure if it works in my L20-182 (PSL2XE). The user manual says:
  + "Available in four sizes: 40, 60, 80 and 100 GB." Other drives may adopted in the future. "+ Is - anyone of you tried to put 120 GB? It work? Need BIOS update?

  wooytson

  Hello

  The user manual says that you can use up to 100GB HDD for sure.
  I think the tough have not been tested on this notebook L20 and it seems that we can only speculate whether it is possible or not.

  The problem is that the BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation. So not all HARD drive sizes are supported. In the worst cases, the BIOS does not recognize the HARD disc.

  However, I think that you can test. There is a great chance that a 120 GB might work properly!

• Satellite A200-193 - installing an extra HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A200-193 and I would like to install one additional go 160 HARD drive into the free location.
  The problem is that there is no SATA connector to this place (switch on the motherboard, not more).
  I know there are computer A200 laptop with a second HDD and my question is "if I go into an official TOSHIBA Service Center, it is possible to install a SATA connector in this free site, this is to allow the installation of additional HARD drive?

  If someone could help me on this point, it would be great.

  Thank you.

  Hi Mathieu

  I see that you are a bit confused ;)
  As you known t n, there are probably different Satellite A200 series a series helps the second HARD drive upgrade and some A200 series cannot be upgraded
  But the A200 series was equipped with the same laptop covers

  This means that you will find the second drive HARD on all mobile A200 Bay but the drive HARD (SATA) connectors don t exist on each series.
  It seems that your laptop cannot be upgraded with the second HARD disk because of the second missing HARD drive interface.

  I hope I can clarify this confusing question ;)

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE: need new HARD drive compatible

  Hello

  Jealous of my relationship with my Tosh laptop - my wife - angry of stupidity, decided to slam closed
  OOPS, it no longer works.

  After cooling down - she did not apologize, BUT said she would pay for the repair.

  After investigation, I feel it may be the hard drive - I have re-installed from master disks and it worked sort of--even allowed to install aol.
  AND he then stopped loading - hearing closely it seems to be looking for the hard drive to complete the load.
  It's a Toshiba Satellite Pro A210 IB1 model PSAFHE - 00800PEN and has a Hitachi hd
  HARD DRIVE: 5K 250-160
  Model: HTS542516K9SA00 5 v DC 700mA 160 GB SATA 5400 RPM

  I can't seem to find one anywhere - tried to contact Toshiba to know what would be appropriate replacements - picking the winning lottery numbers would be easier to get through Toshiba. So I thought I would try the forums.
  In my opinion, it's the hard drive BUT as a mere mortal, I could be wrong - all advice would be appreciated.

  Please tell us what drives fit
  concerning

  Hello

  It seems that the laptop supports a HARD drive 2.5 SATA.
  As the controller SATA HDD has no limitation, all SATA 2.5 hard drives should be compatible.

  If you want, so you can choose a 250GB 2.5 SATA HDD THAT and normally it should work as part of your laptop.

• Satellite U940 - Random BSOD after replacing HARD drive

  Good day ladies and gentlemen!

  I was wondering if I can win some lights here - as I google myself in a bunch of flange on the issue, I have!

  I am a famous computer technician (modest too) and more recently, a client of mine introduced me to a ultrabook Satellite U940 - lovingly with the SSD / HDD Raid 0 configuration running our beloved Windows 8.

  All things according to their entire course - Hitachi hard drive failed (as google tells me is to be expected).

  So, I replace the hard drive by a great little number Western Digital, cloned from Hitachi, sector by sector, and after a significant cajoling with bcdedit and bootrec amount, I could so he could begin our good liked Windows 8.

  However, since then, I have random BSOD, cold boots failed and all sorts of errors.

  I ran all the regular patches - SFC/scannow, chkdsk/r, Windows 8 repair facilities, etc., but it is still volatile jolly.

  Things seem not to be as they were with this Satellite little ol '-before any repair, the peripheral device manager showed two "RAID 0' in the category of hard drives, and since then it shows the individual SSD and the WD HARD drive."

  I've updated the driver for the Intel Rapid Storage at latest on the Toshiba site, but nothing helps - alas!
  The weird part is that if I do a reboot on this little beauty, she starts without any problems, but a start cold after a power off is a completely different question - dummy - spit crashing, dumping, in general!

  If there is a troubleshooting there champion who can destroy my help in this situation, I'd be very impressed and never have if they could provide assistance in this regard.

  Unfortunately Microsoft - are we are all end by using these products of ever-so-pretty Appl?

  Hello

  I read in some discussions here in this forum only after replacing the disk SSD or HARD drive, the RAID configuration is lost and must be rebuilt on a device Windows 8.

  But this can be done very easily, and this can be corrected by an authorized Toshiba because this procedure requires special tools and utilities.

  Unfortunately, it seems to me that you will need to contact the ASP in your country to get this problem resolved :(

• Equium L20-197 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive

  Hi all

  I recently bought an Equium L20-197 and I thought to install a larger HARD drive.
  I wanted to know what the maximum size of HARD drive that can be installed on an Equium L20-197 (I guess it's 120 GB, as it is on the L20-187 but I'm not 100% sure)

  I have also been seaching for the IDE drives and found a list of sites who have PATA, ATA100 etc. are also the IDE drives? (I checked the wiki and articles all point Yes, but a little more confirmation would not hurt)

  I was also wondering if the HARD drive I install must be brand toshiba (or if it even makes a difference).

  Thanking you in advance for any help you can provide.
  K

  Hello

  Equium L20 is very similar to the Satellite L20.
  Search here in the forum for similar issues. If you want to use the advanced search option, you will find a few useful headings.

  I know, it's that you can use the 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB 2.5 IDE HARD drive supporting the UDMA100

  Good bye

• Satellite L655D-011-HDD/SSD Alert, HARD drive failure?

  I have an old L655D-011 of 6 months and yesterday it started to appear with the message to back up my files because there is a problem with my HARD drive. Well, after having a technical support in the past, I don't give that easily and simply run my laptop to the nearest authorized service center. Instead, I help out.

  I did the BIOS update finally. No change in question.
  Finally had time to create a recovery media. No problem with that at all.
  I reformatted. No change in question.
  Checked the health monitor. It shows that my HARD drive is "good". Yet, when I double-click the icon, I get a pop - up with the following message:

  "Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert."

  Disk0

  Your HARD drive is SMART failure to predict which monitors the status of operation of the HARD drive. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a back-up to the date of your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new replacement if necessary. »

  So, after that I decided to run a CHKDSK /f /r. Result: 'windows replaced bad clusters in file name \hiberfil.sys 44990.'

  I should be good to go, right? N ° same problem with the precaution of backing up my files.

  But this isn't good, is it? If my HARD drive is about to fail why monitor health show that everything is "good"? There is no problem with gel, pxe.boot errors, rattling disc, unusual vibrations or read/write failures.

  So, my questions (after all the above and see other threads to ask questions about HARD drive failure messages) are: were there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly? Are failure drives hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)? The health monitor working correctly?

  In my opinion your questions cannot be answered simply.
  > Are there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly?
  How many people must confirm that they have the same problem? I guess this happens from time to time, but you cannot say that this problem is known.
  You will always find people who noticed the same issue and not on Toshiba forum only, but on all the forums where people discuss cell phones in general.
  > Is the disk failure hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)?
  How to check or confirm this?

  You know, during the first backup all your important data, watch carefully what happens the next few days. If the info appears again and again, contact the nearest service Toshiba and let them Exchange the HARD drive.
  The guarantee is valid and it will be free of charge.
