• Upgrade the HARD drive and install SSD XP to Windows 7 upgrade - which command?

  I want to make some improvements to my trusty HP XP media center PC m7350n.  Ideally, here's what I want to do in a certain order:

  -upgrade the HARD drive (currently 250 and 500 GB installed, replace with 750 unique?)

  -install an SSD as boot drive (60 to 120 GB?)

  -Reinstall XP restore disks media center

  -do a upgrade 'clean' for win 7 Home premium (64 bit?) from the disc "upgrading"

  The Windows 7 upgrade disk looks like for XP/Vista, so I can't put new hardware and go directly to a cost of Win 7 install.

  Plan a.

  I understand the look of for the minimum size of disks restore disks.  All guess what SSD size would be the minimum? I guess the upgrade of the first hard drive and reinstall XP MC since the restore disks would be trivial (as opposed to their use after a motherboard replacement).  If I have XP MC on the SDS, it is only a reason any Win 7 no upgade SDS?

  Plan B

  If I install the SSD after upgrade to Windows 7, I guess I have to use something like a disk copy program to the boot from SSD HARD disk partition.  SUGESTIONS?

  Plan C

  Restoration of SKIP.  Move existing partitions of 250 and 500 GB drives to 750.  Update for Win 7.  Install an SSD.  Move the boot partition.  Use the same drive for both copy program?

  Am I missing something?

  In case anyone is wondering, I have a spare 750Go drive and the Windows 7 upgrade disk so the only "cost" of this update is to purchase the SSD (and if necessary disk copy program).

  Thank you!

  Don,

  Please read this article by Paul Thurrott more "Clean install Windows 7 with upgrade media '. It essentially says you can make a completely clean install on a drive with no operating system. The key is not to enter the COA product key after installation is complete. I, myself, installed Windows 7 to discs using disks 'upgrade' several times without problems of installation or activation. The order I do it with, is as follows:

  1 copy all the files and folders of the 250 and the 500 GB HDD of 750 GB.

  2. remove the 250 GB, 500 GB and 750 GB of computer hard drives.

  3. install the SSD.

  4. install Windows 7 on the SSD without entering the product key.

  5. Once finished Windows 7 installation, enter the product key and activate Windows.

  6. return old hard disks of computer as needed.

  7. install purchased software and Windows updates if necessary.

  You should go to 4 GB of RAM to get the most out of Windows 7 64 bit and you can upgrade your graphics card.

  Note: You will lose all software provided CVS Windows XP on your m7350n. Make sure that you create your HP recovery discs before you proceed with the change of equipment or install Windows 7. Your HP recovery disks can have the factory included HP software... it may or may not work with Windows 7. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

• New hard drive and cloning Windows asking for the password and end the session

  Hi all

  Need help please. I just bought a Cavior of WD 1 TB hard drive. I have used Norton Ghost to clone my old hard drive again. Then I removed the old hard drive and another to start the system. Currently, Windows XP was asked to enter the password (in my old drive hard, there is no password entry required). When I press ENTER, the windows log.

  Also, I tried to log in after you have set a password using ERD Commander (locksmith). I get the same result, that is to say Windows log off after entering the password.

  I am at a loss on how to proceed from here. I do not have the CD Windows XP that I bought this computer a few years and did not remember receiving the Windows XP CD. I don't have the product key which is glued on the computer case.

  Help, please. I have to activate Windows again?

  Ghost allows you to create a backup "Image", and then restore the image to the new disk.

• Computer HP Desktop M1188A upgraded the HARD drive and memory upgrade possible

  Hello

  I have a HP Desktop M1188A running XP Media Center 2005.  The computer runs very slowly and was only 27.6 GB of free space left on the hard drive with a total area of 149GB.  It has 512 MB of memory installed a 4 GB maximum.  Speed supported is PC3200 MB/sec.  Type of DDR.  DIMM slots 4.  160 GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive.  Fact hard drive 160 GB 7200 RPM SATA means it is a SATA connection?

  I want to switch the HARD disk like this I hope that the computer runs faster.  I'm a complete novice with respect to the operation of computers.  What to buy to upgrade the HARD drive?

  Will it also upgrade the installed memory?  If so, what to do?

  Everything I need to know?

  Thank you.

  See you soon,.

  Michelle,

  Try for battery HP to THE Bing search engine, I found several sites in line with the Chargers and batteries. BattDepot Australia seems to have decent prices... At$ 24.49 for the loader and THE $37,49 for battery. If you have not yet checked the HP battery reminder page, I recommend you do this first.

• Upgrade the hard drive and OSX

  I have a macbook pro 2009 environment.  He was bought with Snow Leopard, but now running the Mavericks.  I'm looking to upgrade to SSD drive, but I don't want to clone each update of Snow Leopard for the Mavericks.  I was wondering if there was a simpler solution that: Copping files on an external drive, install the SSD with Snow leopard, then the upgrade to the Mavericks and reloading files.  Any other suggestions/easier way would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  The easy way is to clone your current HDD to the SSD. Then you would start from where you are today.

• HARD drive and memory upgrade on the Satellite P200 - 17 c

  Hello

  I own Satellite P200 17 c. My current memory is DDR2 PC2-5300 2 GB. I would like to upgrade to DDR2 PC2 - 6400 4 GB of ram. I can do and it's going to be some speed improvements, if I update to PC2-6400 PC2-5300 instead?

  I have 2 hard drives on my P200 17 c. 2 x 100 GB. I want to upgrade one of these two HD ranging from 100 GB to 320 GB 5400 RPM. can I do this? and it'll be a difference if I update with HD who has 7200 RPM?

  Thank you

  First of all: your machine is able to handle a maximum capacity of 4 GB RAM, but please be aware that you won´t be able to use all of the 4 GB due to some limitations of the chipset that are explained in the following article: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

  Regarding the speed of module: chipset specifications are defined for PC5300, so it will not improve your speed when you install faster modules.

  If you want to upgrade your hard drive then do as you like, because it shouldn´t be any restrictions, you can install a drive with 7200 RPM with a slower.

  The only difference will be that the faster drive faster. The performance of the entire system would increase only when you´re install your operating system on the disk more fast (which is the recommendation of my side :))

This new computer doesn't have a hard drive and I can't figure out how to download it on my new computer.

How can I still download it if the serial number does not appear in my plans and products page? I still have the drive and everything that came with it.

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

• Satellite P100-332: Upgrade HARD drive and 4 GB of RAM

  Hello

  I'm new to the forum...
  Well, I want to change 2 things on my Toshiba Satellite P100-332

  1. I have 2 GB of RAM at 533 mhz and I saw on Everest, as well as on the information that I put up. 4 GB RAM 667 mhz. If I want to ask if theres no limitation about to use a special brand of RAM? Or can I use any laptop RAM to 667 mhz? I buy 2 DIMM 2 GB 667, to stay with 4 GB RAM 667 mhz.

  2 - my laptop came with a 4200 RPM ATA hard drive and I want to know if I can change my hard drive to another as one with 7200 RPM SATA as a http://www.pcvonline.com/productDetails.aspx?prodID=7434 and I have not seen yet if the Board supports, but does anyone know if I can put one like this?

  Hello

  (1) the Satellite P100-332 RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB and you can also use the modules of 667 Mhz because AFAIK the FSB supports 667 MHz also.
  But the fact is that Windows 32-bit (Vista and XP) would see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

  (2) the laptop supports the SATA HDD controller and this is why you must use a SATA HDD. But usually it s no matter if the HDD SATA supports the 7200 RPM. In my opinion, you should be able to use these 7200 RPM HARD drive.

  Good bye

• Hard drive and global upgrades

  Hi so my

  HP Pavilion p6707c

  hard drive has an honor to failure so I want to replace it and take this opportunity to upgrade other components in my lap.

  I want to upgrade the hard drive, RAM, CPU and graphics. I was wondering if someone could give me a good recommendation for a much higher performance processor and the RAM upgrade but the graphics should be an upgrade of my old graphics: a G - force GT-440.

  The RAM is expensive, as I said and I do not think 4 gig sticks would work. I really don't think it tops out at 4 concerts. When this computer is out 4 concerts was very good, and now it's low-end but still usable.

  The HP BIOS is limited and is not not going give you overclock options.
