upgrade a SATA drive with the largest disk ata

I have an old Presario S5000NX with a second ATA hard disk of 500 GB. Can I replace this 500 GB drive with a new Seagate Barracuda 750 GB Ultra ATA/100 drive with no problem with the BIOS or motherboard?

According to our database, this unit came with 40 GB HARD drive and the system's cable support all hard drives ATA-66/100.

There is an update of the BIOS available for the motherboard 3.17 if it is not updated:

  • Why can't replace my drive hard hp compaq 6200SFF 250gig with the largest disk

    I think I posted this in the wrong section earlier.   I want to replace my drive hard HP Compaq 6200SFF with a larger 250gig. I've done it before with other computers with no problems. I bought a 500gig drive at a local store and makes a picture of Symantec Ghost (option was image-boot) to my 250gig drive.    Then I installed the drive and started again with my ghost drive.  Normally I just launch the function of disk image restore to restore the image of the old drive to the new drive.  When I tried to do with the 6200, very well restored ghost image but as soon as I start on the new drive, I get an error message saying that "windows does not stop normally.   I never get to see the Windows Startup logo and welcome screen or something else than this black screen with white letters.  Windows did end normally when I was last using the 250 GB drive and it will power off.  I can't get the restart to go further - I just get the same error screen - there is no options or choice - all said the message is to call your service representative.  Is there something special about 6200 readers?  Do you need to do something instead of or in addition to making a ghost image?  Is it something in the bios that should reset itself?

    Thank you, Hanspuppa.  I think you have a more recent version of Acronis, I ghost.  However, I was able to solve my problem using the Windows repair disk.  I ghost a disk image (ghost - ib) of my drive hard old man and then did a ' local disk image - of ' put the image on my new drive.  I received the repetitive message "Windows 7 does not normally" but then inserted the windows repair disk and booted from it.  He finds that the boot image on the new drive was bad and repaired.  He did not cela easily - reboot/turn off many times before the finished repair disk, I had and the pc booted from the new hard drive properly.  Now, I can do this with windows 7 and the emulation of hard drive has been to AHCI.  Knit a friend and I tried to do this on an another HP6200 with an image of Windows XP. We did not have a handy XP repair disk, but we went in the settings of the bios under storage on disk and passed the SATA AHCI to IDE emulation.  When we restarted Windows message here once, we supported on enter and him went pc to boot normally.  So the problem revolved around the difference in the AHCI IDE and the boot image created by Ghost.

  • EqualLogic PS4000 replacement doesn't have a disk with the largest disk

    I have a drive failing in PS4000. Now, I need to replace the disc, but is it possible to replace the current failed drive with disc compatible but bigger?

    See the attached picture. I use RAID 50 and all disks are now 300 GB except a spare drive which has been replaced in this same situation earlier this year. Now I have a 600 GB drive, is it ok to swap hot who? Or if she breaks up the raid?

    EQ_PS4000.PDF

    Hello

    Assuming that the drive is a Dell brand 600GO in a baby carrier PS4000, yes it will work.  Only 300 GB to 600GB drive will be used.

    Kind regards

  • I am currently using Lightroom 4. I bought the IMac with the largest memory, but he has quickly filled. To conserve space on my computer, I bought a hard drive and I tried to get my lightroom back up there. (I don't know if I did it correctly or not

    I am currently using Lightroom 4. I bought the IMac with the largest memory, but he has quickly filled. To conserve space on my computer, I bought a hard drive and I tried to get my lightroom back up there. (I don't know if I did it correctly or not) Now, all my photos in Lightroom are "offline or missing", and I have no idea what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I guess you mean not memory and disk space, you want to clear space on the internal drive. Is this correct?

    If you have moved your photos somehow (this is not a backup), please follow these instructions to reconnect photos in Lightroom. Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

    In addition, you must (it is obligatory) make real backups of your database catalog and photos, that means accurate identical copies, made by a method automated and placed on a different physical disk than the originals. Lightroom allows you to make backups of your files of catalog on a regular basis, it is an option under the catalog settings. To make backups of your photos, you need some third party software to do.

  • Can I use a SATA drive in the virtual host as a SCSI disk in virtual machine?

    I'm under (64-bit) 2008 R2 RC as host and VMware Workstation 6.5.2. I installed a linux VM, the distribution doesn't really matter, but now I use Debian 5.01 AMT64. I am trying to use SATA drives to the host as drive virtual in the VM, but not successful. Here's what I did.

    -In the virtual machine of VMware Workstation. Add - & gt; hard drive - & gt; use a physical disk - & gt; Choose the device (use entire disk) - & gt; Finishing

    The drive is affected as IDE drive. Here's the first question, I can use it as a SCSI drive? There are only 4 available in CD-ROM and VM IDE drive takes one. I want to be able to use 10 disks.

    -L' use above configuration, if I start the VM, I don't know where devices are. I can't find any device in the name of/dev/hda, / dev/hdb etc.

    Here is my second question. Where are the devices on a virtual computer that were created as virtual disks?

    Hello

    with 2 k 3, you won't have these problems.

    VMware affect physical as IDE disks if the host sees as IDE. He attributes as SCSI host sees the SATA or SCSI drives.

    If you want to change that - you can use this old post of mine. If the descriptor of uncertain post before use you it so that I make the changes.

  • What is the largest disk Win2000 can handle?

    Original title: Using the new drives multi-terabytes with Win2000

    Material of Baring emits what is the largest disk Windows 2000 Workstation, able to work with 500 GB disks, will be able to work with?

    James ludovic

    James,

    There are a few things to think about here:

    • NTFS can support 256 terabytes
    • MBR disks can support 2 Terabyte drives
    • Dynamic disks are not limited to the MBR 2 Terabyte limit
    If my understanding is that if your drive is formatted in NTFS and you have a dynamic disk, Windows 2000 can support up to 256 terabytes. For more information about dynamic disks, seeworking with basic and dynamic disks.

  • Update the system with the esata disk configuration

    I want to save my disk main boot to a 3rd sata drive uses the front esata port.  This so that I can install a new SATA (2 x 1 = 2 to) and using configuration RAID 0 with the new hard drive configuration.  Who currently use with 2 sata drives (WD 300 GB 10Krpm = C: disk main boot;) WD 1 to 72K rpm = 1 disc (unformatted); Seagate 250 GB 72 K rpm = disc 2 (unformatted).  Unable to find the training to get in shape for the transfer of backup... Be patient with me, I went big in my bench of first generation project and I started just to get back into the hobby of building a pc.  Any advice?  How can I get vista to access the esata to format it and do a full pc to save on disk 2.  So I want to install the new WD 1 TB sata 72Krpm and remove @D 300 GB 10Krpm drive 0.  At the end, and then restore the PC sauvegardΘ esata data.  Make sense, or is there a better way?

    500 GB could be sufficient to allow the recovery discs, you did to work.

  • frequent blocking of 30-60 seconds with the solid disk activity

    I have a problem when VMware Workstation locks for 30 to 60 seconds, with the solid disk activity.  No reaction, even to things like no caps lock or num lock (virtual machine uses the keyboard extended; if I'm in the host, it shows the caps/numlock lights - i.e., VMware is busy and does not move the keyboard to the virtual machine, but does not lock the host)

    Host and client are Windows XP SP2; I am running VMware Workstation 6.5.0 build 118166 (there is a newer version, but nothing in the release notes applicable looks to this)

    Laptop has 4 GB of memory, 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo.

    2 discs; system on a virtual machines on another (7200 RPM, 16meg cache)

    I tested both S.M.A.R.T. drives - well within the parameters of "good".

    I tried everything I can think with it - enabling/disabling virtual memory (XP) on the host or client, performance parameters, change the virtual computer's memory size, etc..

    It happens sometimes strange - when I'm just typing (as in this sentence - it just did it) and is happening in the virtual machines that are different sizes of memory.  It seems to happen in all virtual machines, regardless of their size of the memory.  (I have VMs from 512megs upwards) It happens when I'm under VM only one or more - it seems worse when running more than one, but not linear. at the least not bad enough to keep me from running more than one.  (I usually use only one or two virtual machines) It never happens if I am not under VMware. If I'm just under apps on the host.

    It does not matter what applications I use in the client.  Definition of VMware to keep everything in memory does not help.  Disable the removal of pages of memory doesn't help.  (which shouldn't matter if I run only 1 VM, would it?)  Newspapers are disabled. I have configured VMware to use the maximum of the reserved memory (3456meg).  There is no worse if I run apps in the host (usually just one editor, sometimes Firefox, sometimes Nero Burning Disc)

    I am baffled by the latter.  It seems to be deteriorating lately, but maybe it's just my annoyance level Crescent...  I'm not sure; I think that way started when I went to this laptop, but I'm not sure.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    -Al Weiner-

    Look over your logs, I see that you seem to have active VMware shared folders.  VMware shared folders have all kinds of strange questions.  Try to disable/turn off your VMware shared folders to see if that makes a difference.

    This means that you can see anything on the screen of the laptop or only if you try to start with the recovery disk?
    You can start Windows or access the BIOS?

    Hello

    You am I entitled?
    You are able to turn on the laptop and you can see the Toshiba splash screen at the beginning, but you cannot boot from the CD.
    Right?
    Have you tested different CD bootable as drive Linux Live CD or recover from Toshiba?

    Theoretically the question could be just a bad drive but of course the CD/DVD drive could be faulty too if the CD/DVD drive cannot boot from any CD, and then try to clean the lens laser alcohol or cotton tip.
