• Upgrade the hard drive or the new laptop

  I currently own a mid-2010 Macbook Pro that works well (Apple store ran all the checks and he said everything was good), but there almost six years and I don't want to die any time soon (I need a laptop for school). I do not use the mac for something other than Microsoft Office, several tabs on browser, iTunes and occasionally streaming of netflix (just the basics, no game or something serious). Someone has advice or comments on what would be best? And if upgrading the hard drive seems to be a good option, does anyone have good recommendations?

  Here are the specs of my Mac:
  -Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
  -Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
  -Hard drive: 500 GB storage

  In addition, Yosemite (10.10.5) running on the machine without any problem even if it is sometimes slow.

  Thank you!

  Use it as it is. Why update the drive? If you run lack of storage space on the disk, delete some files or get an external drive and move some files on the external drive. Make sure that you back up your data.

• Upgrade the hard drive or consider a new ThinkPad?

  Hello

  I have an IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad R51e with a 40 GB hard drive. I'll soon be at the limit of ability, and I think to upgrade the hard drive.

  My laptop is under warranty until May 2009, says I guess some of you maybe understand my dilemma. Even the technology IBM says it was a difficult call. He suggested an external drive, but I really wanted to do as it would go against how I personally use my laptop.

  He gave me a 80 GB hard drive part number 13N6709 (it is the biggest hard drive I can go internally with the R51e) which will cost me $261,00

  I tried looking for answers to these questions, but the more I read more my head began to spin.

  There are a few questions (with the help of the people in this forum) I'm eager to know before investing more money in this laptop.

  Do I need other parts to install the new HDD?

  The Pro Windows XP was preinstalled by IBM/Lenovo. It will recognize my serial number to install it?

  All my recovery disks will still work with the new hard drive? Or do I have to buy a new game?

  I'd be better to just buy a new laptop?

  If, therefore, for those knowing what are the features that are on the R51e IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad would get the most bangs for the bucks?

  I'd appreciate really no knowledge that any of you can give me.

  Sincerely,

  Kat

  
  

• I'm unable to open Adobe Illustrator on my newly replaced hard drive in MacBook Pro.

  I am unable to open Adobe Illustrator on my newly replaced hard drive in MacBook Pro. I get "Error 16". I get a window that says: error in Configuration please uninstall and reinstall the product.  If this problem persists, please contact Adobe technical support help and mention the error code displayed at the bottom of this screen.  Error: 16 http://www.adobe.com/support/

  If you tried to transfer the software from one drive to another while it is probably the cause of the problem.  Adobe software must be installed using installation files.

• upgrade the hard drive on Presario 17XL365

  Inherited this machine recently and I was wondering if I can upgrade the hard drive.  He got a Hitachi DK23BA-15 which is ATA - 66.  But I read that the chipset of the motherboard will be ' interface with ATA/66 hard drives in UDMA 2 mode "-a description of the site intel (North 82443BX/South 82371EB).  Intel® 440BX AGPset.

  So my question is, any laptop drive ide or eide will work with this?  Or I need to find a player who is specificially ATA-66.  Any info on the momentum and the size limitations would also be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance!

  It's a record of 4200 RPM 15 gigabytes. You can use any portable player of up to 120 gig eide, but not anymore. Anyway, you would benefit from a rotational speed of 5400 RPM which is what you can find in the market these days, but will not improve your ATA - 66 maximum transfer speed. The most recent ATA - 100 or 133 readers interfacera just at the speed of 66 but faster speed of rotation of the drive will always access same time help lower transfer speed if that makes sense.

  The number of ATA - 66 is just the maximum theoretical speed, which you reach rarely, in any case.

  If I upgrade the hard drive on my HP G62-149WM to a 750 GB drive (or maybe a 1 to) and use the factory purchased the set of recovery disks, it will install the recovery (hidden) on the disk partition, or not?  What IS the recovery partition, it will install (if installed)?

  Hello

  You can certainly move to a 750 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive, a 1 TB would also be possible, but it is not listed as a compatible hdd in a service guide. After a reset, the laptop will be in the same condition that you used for the first time (OS preinstalled). The recovery partition is going to be on the hard drive as well. Size is not too large, I think that it would be up to 15-20 GB...

• Failure to upgrade the hard drive T30 - blinking cursor - will not progress

  I have trouble to upgrade the hard drive on my Thinkpad T30.

  I'm trying to upgrade a 40 GB hard drive to a hard drive of 250 GB.  (New drive is the EVE of Western Digital WD Scorpio 2500 b)

  I used the Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to clone the drive.  Unfortunately, when I insert the new drive in the computer, booting stops and is at the level of the blinking cursor.

  I used the tools of Lenovo's PC to test everything.

  I have used Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to check the hard drive.

  I've updated my Bios and embedded controller program.

  When I start the computer and press F1 to access the Bios, the sign more shows next to the hard drive.  I understand that this means that the Bios recognizes the hard drive.

  I went into Setup to choose the hard drive as the boot device, but the computer still hangs at the level of the blinking cursor.

  When the new hard drive is connected to the computer by usb in an external case, it shows that the contents of the old drive is copied to the new drive.

  What should I do now to solve this problem and get the computer to boot from the new drive?

  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 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.

• Problems of formatting of the new hard drive in Macbook Pro

  Hello

  My internal hard drive in my MacBook Pro mid 2012 broke down. So I installed a new hard drive a ST1000LM014 of Seagate 1 TB hybrid discs which according to IFIXIT.com must be compatible.

  I then boot the server Apple Macbook and party in disk Utillity to format the hard drive. The hard drive is visible and I'm then in the partition, choose the 1 partition, Mac OS X (journaled) + GUID. But while the partition that I get the error message failed to file system format.

  I tried different options in disk Utillity and I am able to format the disk using FAT or ExFat. But it does not help me to use my mac hard drive.

  Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? And it does not seem like a problem with the functionality of the hard drive?

  Thank you

  You must select the disk of material-name (upper, outermost level descriptor), not Volume name.

• Upgrade the HARD drive to SSD

  So in late 2014 I bought Macbook pro 2014 that contains one of the latest computers in this line in order to start the HARD drive. The other day my HD crashed and I need to buy a new one that would give me the opportunity to upgrade to an SSD. What would exactly be the best SSD replacement that would work well with my computer? All I really want is something that will work well with the macbook, I have now.

  That's the one I was thinking about buying, but I just wanted another opinion http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Gaming-2-5-Inch-Internal-ST500LM000/dp/B00B99JU5M? ie = UTF8 & PSC = 1 & redirect = true & ref_ = ox_sc_a...

  The product you have listed will work fine on your macbook pro. But you must be aware that the hard disk you have in mind is NOT pure SSD,.

  It is a 'hybrid' SSD + HDD, it is much cheaper than a 500GB SSD habit. for example, the samsung EVO 850 costs $150.

  The hybrid approach basically means a great 'flash memory' (in seagate device is 8 GB) is built into the hard drive.

  and smart algorithms runs in this regard to cache your files frequently used in this flash memory is faster than a traditional HARD drive.

  It is still until you think is best for you.
