• New hard drive - recovery disks

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6-3230us running windows 7(64 bit). I was thinking of upgrading my hard drive to an SSD and I was wondering if I could use recovery discs to reinstall Windows 7 and all drivers. I have a new copy of Windows 7 Professional I could use and went to the site of HP driver but don't know what all that I have to download to get everything to work. I saw that there is an option to order recovery media and I was wondering if that would do the same and bring the computer back as the first day I bought it without having to use my copy of Windows 7 Pro me.

  Thank you

  Hello:

  Unless you buy the same size (in GB) SSD, as your original hard drive, recovery disks do not work.

  What I suggest to users in your situation is the following:

  Copy the your C:\ drive SWSetup folder to a portable storage device.  Take a look here because it should contain all the program and driver installation files to install on your PC. Some of the installation of the program files will not be considered on the assumption of your laptop and driver page.

  If you have trouble finding drivers, just click on all devices that appear in the device with a little yellow Manager! mark.

  Then after material ID for them, and we can let you know that you need to install drivers.

  If you don't know how to find the hardware device ID, please read the info at the link below.

  If you don't want to lose your windows 7 license pro on your PC, you can make your own drive of W7 premium family if you can read the product key of MS 25 characters on the bottom of your PC.

  Here's how:

  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.

• Install Win8 on new HARD drive using disks of recovery on HP Envy M6

  Okay, so I have my hard drive crashed a few months. So, I ordered a set of HP recovery disks. I finally get around to retrieve Win8 on the new HARD drive. However, I follow these instructions and it does NOT work. I get to the Boot Manager and nothing is there - at all. So, I went back to the BIOS and disabled secure boot (just in case). Yet, nothing. After several hours, I dropped...

  Flash forward to today. I have enabled the legacy starts, moved DVD player y up in my order of start and stuck in a Win7 disc, I have here. One immediately recognizes the disc.

  I finally decided to try to install recovery using USB thought which may help. So, I had on my desktop and tried to rip an .iso of the disks. Both PowerISO and IMGBurn rise "IO error" partially through the period of inquiry.

  I'm starting think that the discs are bad... That would not explain why can't I see my optical drive in the Boot Manager however.

  Thoughts?

  It was records. I downloaded a copy of Win8 and it began immediately.

• Vista - replaced hard drive recovery - disk product SP1 - wicked problems

  Diagnosis indicates a failure possible hard drive on my old desk.

  I replaced the hard drive and used the recovery disc.

  The original machine must have been with Vista Home Premium SP1.

  I can't read most of the web pages - IE7 lacks some features

  I can't update IE since IE8 is not supported on my operating system.

  I can't upgrade via IE, because IE is obsolete.

  I downloaded the SP2.

  I can't install SP2 because Microsoft only supports VISTA with SP2.

  Since the machine is way out of warranty, HP wants to take on talk.

  I'm so hosed. What I have to buy a more recent OS and hope, or is there another solution that I can keep Vista.

  Thank you

  Hi pantinx,

  Welcome to the forums of hp. Thank you for your query.

  Sorry to hear about the difficulty you have had with your upgrade.

  The recovery disk works on your computer with your old hard drive.

  Option 1 Source disc Vista Home Premium (from Microsoft or HP)

  In order to solve your problem, you will need to get an original family premium vista disk or disk of vista Home premium with SP2 or the vista disk .iso image Home premium with Service Pack 2.

  Get the product key from the back of your computer.

  Insert the diskette into the computer or use the tool microsoft usb/dvd tool to create an iso image of the cd or choose the iso file on computer.

  Create a bootable USB drive or use the original disc.

  Run.

• Question of firmware update hard drives/RAID

  We have a Server Power Edge R210II with OS MS Server 2008R2 and a Controller PERC H200 RAID (two disc HARD 1 TB Seagate SATA in RAID1).
  Recently, there is a new firmware for Seagate drives on a dell (Package update for MS Windows) support site.
  I really don't want to lose the server :) and never update firmware on the disks on the server with RAID (I've updated the players only on PC).
  Can someone tell me a procedure to update the firmware on my drives? Problems with the upgrade, best practices etc?
  Thanks for any help,
  Marius

  Best practices:

  • First have a backup. Should data not destructive, but everything can happen.
  • Use SUU or Repository Manager to update ALL of your system - iDRAC/BIOS firmware, PERC and other firmware must be updated before the firmware of the HARD drive.

  Most HARD drive firmware updates are bootable, so you just get the utility boot and update.

  You cannot update firmware of the drive not Dell with Dell firmware (i.e. If you bought the retail/generic readers).

• Re: update hard drive on Satallite L650

  I want to upgrade my hard drive and I was wondering what is the right one for my system.
  In addition, my recovery disks will work to install windows 7 on my new hard drive?

  Upgrade the HARD drive should not be problematic. It is important that you use thr HDD with the same SATA connector.
  Which one you want to buy?

  Recovery disk can be used with a new hard drive.

• Satellite Pro A40: Is it possible to format the HARD drive without disk

  I am passing on a Satellite Pro A40 to a brother. It is in very good condition, but has slowed down over the years. I want to get rid of my data (I have on a new machine) and speed up the system by formatting the hard drive.

  The machine didn't come with a disc for Windows XP, or a recovery CD (just a CD "tools and utilities"). I'm sure the drive HARD will be partitioned, and I can format the drive without such a disc.

  If this is true, how should I do?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I can't believe that you do not have recovery media.
  The laptop must be supplied with recovery CD, Tools & Utilities CD, and WinDVD.

  But back to your question;
  If you insert a new HARD disk, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows to install the operating system.
  The new drive is not partitioned HARD and doesn't have any OS pre-installed!

  If you n t have the original CD of Microsoft OS you can contact the service provider allowed in your country and you can order it.

  I hope I could help

  Good bye

• Update hard drive in the MacBook Pro (early 2015)

  What type of SSD will work in a MacBook Pro 13 inch screen of early 2015? I was told by someone that Apple no longer use the SATA drives and they now have their own exclusive hard drives and hard drive connectors. Can someone clarify this for me? I want to upgrade a 256 GB to 500 GB drive.

  New mac systems use style card SSD instead of 2.5 in block style (search for mSATA and M2 style SSD).  Apple uses a protocol of interface owner so you can not buy any card SSD on shelf.

  Another use main contributor a low profile SD card like this http://www.microcenter.com/product/441001/128GB_SDHC_Flash_Memory_Module that can stay connected to the SD slot card all the time and not poke out.  Also external fencing to swap nu-disks for a virtually unlimited storage.

• Update hard drive to the Satellite Pro L300

  Have a Satellite Pro L300 with a 120 GB hard drive, running Vista Home, the reader is divided 50-50 and does'nt Vista as to move the partition (Partition Magic does not work)...

  So would like to change to a larger HD... Q / I can do this, and how hard is it? even with the recovery of files on the Partition and if I bought the Toshiba recovery disks, gruff, when the player is changed discs would not reconise the largest disk that I discovered in the past using Norton Ghost.

  Upgrading the hard drive doesn't have to be the problem.
  HARD drive is placed in the lower corner under the HARD drive cover. HARD drive cover is fixed by two screws. Remove the screw, then the HARD drive cover. Please do it gently. After having this deletion drive by pulling on the tab kit attached to the pack, following the direction of the arrows.

  According to the specifications of the laptop you need SATA HDD and it can be upgraded up to 500 GB.
  After upgrade the disk HARD use recovery DVD for installation of operating system.

  Any other questions? ;)

• Update hard drive.

  I have HP pavilion 15-n208tx and he has 1 TB HDD installed I want to replace with 2 TB HDD. And I want to know if my upgrade of the portable hard drive of computer support please tell me as soon as possible.

  Yes as long as it is not thicker than 9.5 mm you can replace the disk of 1 TB with a 2 TB drive. You may find it useful to have handy maintenance manual:

  Your repair manuals

  See p. 59. The Service door on the bottom gives access to the memory and the wifi card. Replacing the hard drive requires significant disassembly and is technically only supposed to be done by an authorized service provider. The guarantee will be compromised in other words. If you just need a lot of storage space, you may want to consider a second hard drive bay adapter optical to know where the DVD player.

• Qosmio G20: update HARD drive internal

  My G20 has 2 60 GB HARD drive.
  I'll remove the No2 car that does not have windows for a bigger. It took me a bit to a source in the UK and I have a price of 199.99 gbp for a 120 GB drive. Does that seem reasonable for a real player Toshiba?

  Due to another disk HARD 100 GB being 99.99 gbp. I don't know what to do either would drive as good as Tosh one? Also can I turn off the computer and exchange them because in my computer both drives are called Toshiba Raid.

  I'm not clued up on Paolo etc any help or advice would be appreciated.
  Thank you

  Hello

  The price of HARD drive depends not only on the size of the HARD drive, but also on the rotation of the disk, size of buffer.
  I think that the Qosmio also supports S - ATA interface. In this case, you need a compatible SATA HARD drive.
  In the user manual which must be preinstalled on your laptop, you will find instruction how to remove and install the HARD drive.

  RAID uses 2 HDD. You can set it up as a mirror RAID-1 and RAID 0 stripping. When you use RAIND-1, data is stored twice so that even if there are problems with a HARD disk, the other HARD disk can be used to retrieve the data.
  The additional HARD drive capacity must be equal to or greater than the capacity of the first HARD drive. Additional if you are using RAID-1 the operating system recognizes the slightest ability to drive HARD 2.
  In this case, if you use a 60GB and a 120 GB OS recognizes it as 60 GB. The extra 60 GB of the second HARD disk cannot be used.

  But all this s information you can find in the user manual.

• Can WRT1900ACS use an external hard drive with disks in RAID 0, 1, or JBOD?

  Hello

  Happy new year.

  Is an external drive with more disks RAID 0, 1; JBOD compatible with WRT1900ACS?

  I have this idea to tie a big (6-8 TB) external drive and use the DLNA feature as an alternative to a computer as NAS and DLNA server. The external drive could be four 2 TB Western Digital hard drives in RAID 0, 1; JBOD. The boxes can be:

  - Western Digital my book Duo.

  - IB-3640SU3 - external case of JBOD 4 x with eSATA and USB 3.0 for disks 3.5 "SATA hard.

  I hope someone can help clarify if I have misunderstood something.

  Concerning

  Jan Rouvi

  Hello. It is not recommended to use this type of enclosure with the WRT1900ACS, since most of this is managed by software that are installed on the computer. The software will not be able to detect hard drives, whether they are connected to the router and the router does not have this capability to configure drives in RAID 0, 1, or JBOD. The configuration of the router storage tool is just very basic. If you really need to configure RAID 0, 1, or JBOD in terms of network, you must obtain a SIN.

• How to free space on the hard drive recovery disk?

  My J: drive (recovery) is near capacity after a reinstall of Windows 7. How to clear space on this drive?

  Hi John R H,
   
  The purpose of the training of recovery is to store all the files needed to do disaster recovery, when the system becomes unstable. The recovery disk is actually a partition on the hard drive of your computer - not a real physical disk. There is much less space than other drives. If you use the recovery disk to store files (such as backup files), the reader is full quickly and can cause serious problems when you need to use the system recovery.
  Note: Do not store files on the recovery drive. The only files on the recovery disk should be linked to a system recovery.
