• Windows does not restart after you install the new hard drive.

  Hi, I upgraded from 100 gig 250 gig drive hard nice clean installation, worked perfect. Turn off the laptop, turn back on and only bios are accessible, without window, just a black screen with a small white bar flashing at the top of the screen. Put old drive in, everything works fine and in disk management the new shows drive but are not accessible? Anyone got a clue?

  Now I found the answer to my problem. Acer Aspire9802 WKMI recovery allows only 32 GB max loading mbr, therefore partitioned readers with a free majorgeeks.com partitioner and ye he

  The free program, I called EASUS PARTITION MASTER, dead easy to use for a novice like me! and with an instruction book complete in pdf format

  I guess if the sata drive is the same sata version as controller on your laptop, that's to say sata 1 or 2 or 3
  And if a later version of the sata it's backward compatible?

• Install a new hard drive - need advice!

  I intend to install a new hard drive on my Compaq C500
  All hard drives are the same physical size or do I need a specifically for this laptop?
  I do not have the windows install disks, but I have the sticker on the laptop with the product key to this topic, is it possible to download and install it?
  And what I have to install the drivers manually or it will install when I install the OS?
  Thank you
  Tom.

  I don't know of anyone who has a copy of it,
  Is there a way I can download and install with the product key that I have?

  Yes, but if it is not an official partner, I can't give you the link.  And currently I don't know any for Windows Vista.
  For Windows 7 (Digital River is an official partner of Microsoft): [link]

  I guess your best option is to contact HP support by phone or chat online at http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

• Having trouble installing new drivers after installing a new hard drive and Windows Vista.

  I just installed a new hard drive on my computer of dell inspiron 1525. I managed to do it and it worked. I had a disc from dell to reinstall windows vista edition Home premium 32-bit and had drivers and utilities dvd. However I couldn't connect to the internet. I understand I'm missing some drivers but I rebooted the computer, but it goes to the black screen asking you to start in safe mode, safe mode with network, normally and something else. But after trying all of them, it goes straight to this same screen. What can I do? Or I can clear the new hard drive and start over? Any ideas?

Download and install as you did on the first computer, sign in to your Adobe account on the Adobe using your Adobe ID website, download the desktop app from clouds, then download the software. Sign on a computer that should not be used: log in and log out of the desktop Adobe Creative Cloud application

• Windows 7, re - install the new hard drive was a success, but I now get guests that it is not valid, and I need to buy Windows 7

  From January 2013, after a series of about 13 automatic updates, Windows 7 hang in the boot process.  Using the repair function of the system on the Windows 7 installation disc, I was able to select a restore point at the beginning and Windows would be operated until I chose shutdown and updates would be automatically install 13 updates and then freeze at startup.  Finally, in a workaround, I would choose standby extended instead of shutdown until the system would break down after 10 days.    After going through this loop until the end of February, I bought a new hard drive and installed Windows 7 again.  I used the product key and the OEM ID on the back of my Acer Aspire 5253 - BZ849, but keep getting prompts is not valid.  How can I get this fixed WITHOUT PAYING for WINDOWS AGAIN!

  The product key on the back label of the Acer PC is: * product key removed privacy * (initially, it has been accepted as valid.  Now I get guests that it is not and I have 22 days to activate.)  There is also a code in parentheses (X 16-96072), followed by 168-00196-149-361.

  Other data are product ID: 00359-OEM-8992687-00006

• Need help to install the new hard drive in Satellite Pro M10

  Hi all

  My hard drive died in my M10 Pro Satellite so I decided to adapt to another.
  It fits very well in the caddy, but just does not want to slot into place correctly as something seems to be stopped.
  The M10 only accepts a certain brand/model?
  Also, nobody knows this as the largest capacity M10 will accept?
  Thank you very much.

  Concerning
  J

  As much as I know should not be problem at all. Take the old and the new HARD drive and compare the connectors. I hope that they are the same. I can only imagine that the new HD is not placed correctly in the HARD drive bracket. Make sure that the new is placed as an old man after his retirement from the laptop.

  As for max capacity of HARD drive, there is no precise information and we can only speculate on this. Try to use the search option on this forum. Maybe someone already talked to upgrade the HDD on Sam/Satellite Pro M10.

  The fact is that Satellite Pro comes with 30, 40 and 60 GB hard drives. How many GB does your new HARD drive?
