• Replacement of the HDD - Vaio VPCYB15AG

  Hello

  I'm looking for a new HARD drive for my Sony Vaio Y Series computer laptop VPCYB15AG. The existing a Toshiba MK3259GSXP is about to give up. It was installed by the Sony Service centre somewhere mid 2012 and now everything is out of warranty. According to his page on the Web from Toshiba site, this seems to be Advanced Format (AF) HARD drive, but no AF logo appears on its thumbnail.

  I'm usually well compatibility issues with Win 7 OS without SP1 and HARD AF drive. This laptop has Win7 Starter. I have her 2 recovery DVDs. This is based on the Chipset CPU & AMD Fusion AMD E350.

  It will be good enough to get another HDD AF (according to my understanding that existing mk3259gsxp is also good AF) or he'll always be a sure bet to get the legacy 512 byte/sector format.

  Would be nice to get more clarity / advice on that.

  Thanks & best regards.

  The recovery disk you created should work in normal operation with the drive of 512 format. It will also restore the original and all Windows software operating system that came from the factory setting.

• Clone HARD disk backup and upgrade the HDD on a Vaio S13

  I just bought a laptop SVS13133CGB. I want to change the hard drive for an SSD, because of the problems of latency of disk it gives me with the drive 5400 RPM. Also, I have to change to Windows 7, because of the problems of compaitbality with the applications I run.

  My questions are-

  -Are there problems with an SSD on this model? I intend to use a Samsung 840 250 GB SSD and do a clean install of windows 7 on it.

  -I want to save the data of the existing drive, imaging or cloning, so that I can have the installtion Windows 8 + the recovery partion. (also the key/cert/activation)  Does anyone know if I restore it, everything will work according to the normal? I.e. the assist, the stamina/speed etc button button... I m not sure what cloning software I will use, like I always do research which at the moment.

  Has anyone done the above?

  ravinius,

  1. I don't think there's any question replacing a HDD with a SSD... we can only comment on what has been installed from factory but as I said, I don't see a problem to an SSD.

  2. it is preferable that you create system recovery disc and run that, if you want to revert to Windows 8.  Regarding what makes an exact image, I don't know on this one there... There are several software cloning there, but we cannot comment/recommend on a specific... If you are running the recovery disc it will restore everything back as if it was fresh from the factory (software wise)...

• Can I replace the MK2546GSX HDD with MK2576GSX

  Hello

  I have a laptop, Sony Vaio VGN-CR36G/B, which has the MK2546GSX from Toshiba HARD drive and chkdsk reports bad sectors in it. I would replace this hard drive, but I couldn't exactly find the product in the market to buy.

  Please can someone help me to find a replacement for Toshiba MK2546GSX?

  My questions are

  Can I replace Toshiba MK2546GSX with Toshiba MK2576GSX? Are they the same? Is there a difference in its connections or Sockets?

  or

  Can you suggest a replacement for Toshiba MK2546GSX?

  Any help would be appreciated

  Thank you

  J

  First of all, you can use all the HDD from different manufacturers that are compatible with your laptop.

  The HARD drive TOSHIBA MK2546GSX seems to bear 250GB - 5400U/min and 7-pin S - ATA (SATA 150 MB/s)

  This means that your laptop supports the SATA controller and you should be able to also use the other SATA 2.5 SATA drives!

• Best SSD & HDD configuration environment iMac 2010

  I put my 2010 middle level 21.5 "iMac with a 1 TB Samsung Evo 850 SSD. I'll use the OWC data backup kit to replace the optical drive in the iMac with the SSD. To feel pretty comfortable with the facility itself after having looked through the iFixit guide and various You Tube videos. My issue is with how best to configure the installed SSD.

  I use mostly the iMac for Lightroom CC and I'm under El Capitan.

  My 1 TB HARD drive and is full of about 80%. I want to use the SSD as boot obviously drive and also use it for all my applications. I just want all my old music files and RAW files on the HARD drive that I don't need to access often. There are about 300 MB of old RAW files, I can move on the HARD drive, then once as it is setup, I hope that I'll have to say 500 MB on the SSD and 300 MB on the HARD disk. As my RAW files grow I still move the old files on the HARD drive to keep the SSD to become too full.

  I had planned to restore all my files for the SSD from a Time Machine backup and then format the HARD drive before joining former RAW HARD drive files. But:

  -which is the best way?

  There's an easy way to achieve the same goal without keeping all my cruft?

  -going to have my HARD drive plugged complicated issues when restoring to the SSD?

  -should I use carbon copy cone instead?

  Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

  How to use an SSD with your HARD drive If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do. After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume. Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder. Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content. Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

  Note that if you open the computer Apple won't provide any additional support if you need it. Make sure that you don't damage anything. Learn how to do what you plan to do before you start. It's a bad idea to try to learn along the way. There are small tablecloths at the back of the monitor that must be removed in order to access the disk space. There is also a special thermal cable required. I suggest you visit OWC where provide it a kit to add another disk to an iMac.

  You cannot copy OS X of your HDD to the SSD while leaving everything else behind. After installing the SSD you partition delete it, then install Snow Leopard top of your OS X disk installer supplied with the computer. After that, you can go to El Capitan if you wish.

  Clean Install of Snow Leopard

  1. start the computer using the Snow Leopard installation disc or disc 1 that came

  with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.

  After the ring, press and hold the "C" key.  Release the button when you see

  a small gear appear under the dark gray Apple logo.

  2. once the load setup program select your language and click continue

  button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.

  After loading disk utility, select entry Out-dented the SSD in the list on the left.

  Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility.  Set the number of

  partitions to one (1) from the Partitions of the dropdown menu, click on the Options button

  GUID, click OK, and then select define the Mac OS Extended format type

  (Journaled), then click on the apply button.

  3. once formatting is complete utility of disk and return to the installer.

  Proceed with the installation of OS X and follow the instructions included with the installation program.

  4. Once installation is complete your computer will restart in the Setup

  Assistant. After finishing Setup Wizard will complete the installation, after which

  you will use a new installation of Mac OS X.  You can now begin the process of updating

  at the opening of updated software and installing all recommend updates to bring your

  current installation.

  Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo.

• the vaio l series upgrade to ssd

  Is someone doing a swap on the hard drive of a vaio L series all-in-one? all the instructions of opening and the size of a HARD drive? I guess a 2.5 "HDD will work?

  rumnyc,

  I can't exactly comment on your model (VPCL229FG, support of Asia), but all series of VPCL2xxx should be the same. «The hard disk isn't a 2.5 ", this is a size HDD Desktop 3.5» If you use a 2.5 SSD "then you will need to need a 'conversion' support so he can adapt.

• Laptop Sony Vaio PCG - K35

  I recently had the problem with my laptop and formatted the entire hard drive on my Sony vaio laptop. Now I'm trying to use my recovery disk to restore the computer but this is not the case. I used the windows 98 disk and fdisk fact and it shows my HDD 10MB instead of 80 GB and that is the reason why he won't install, b/c no disk space. The laptop came with Windows XP, no idea why this is happening or how it can be fixed.

• Can I install a HDD IDE in HP A6700Y

  I have a HP A6700Y (REF # NC686AA #ABA) who needs a new primary HARD drive. I want to test it with an IDE HDD I have on hand. Is it possible to install a HDD IDE in this PC? If it is possible, where the controller ports are located on the map? I couldn't see the cables in usual tablecloth or sheets of food for an IDE drive. I'm not familiar with the new SATA technology. Would appreciate some advice.

  Thank you

  Paul,

  Thank you for your response.  The blue connector and one above and to the right are like connectrors IDE. There are four connectors of available power. Could you suggest a resource in order to confirm that these are indeed the IDE connectors? I don't see no labelling around them. I'll try an IDE Ribbon and see if it fits.

  Hi DCwell1977, while they inspected the drivers of this model, it seems that this unit doesn't have drivers available for Windows 8.1. You can also visit this link and check the compatibility of this model to Windows 8.1. It's not necessarily you cannot upgrade to Windows 8.1, but we cannot guarantee that all the features of this unit will work.

• Data technology Intel rapid storage that can endanger - Sony Vaio

  Hello

  I have a Sony Vaio and since a week started to get this message.

  Intel rapid storage technology data may be at risk. When I click to reset the player, that he's going back in the error mode again. In addition, initially to the top of the window will be stuck at the Intel page that says (Intel Bios H2o), unless I press space that it doesn't let me log on.

  I formatted the system (recovery) and removed all the data but still get the error. Also my system went very very slow. Is my hard drive is at risk.

  Help, please.

  Concerning

  

  in order to see the BIOS HARD drive / UEFI
  Controller SATA HDD must be defined in

  Native / IDE / compatibility mode

  What ever the BIOS / UEFI appointed him,.

  and then after you test before you start in windows it should be indented the
  SATA / AHCI / RAID setting that windows was originally isntalled on

  Start
  Go to the system BIOS / UEFI with the system specified key
  for example.
  Reference Dell = F2

  and change the HARD disk for compatibility IDE controller before starting the system with Seatools BACK disc.

  SATA AHCI / RAID does not use the same ports as IDE
  and so an operating system is not the native SATA drivers cannot see records or even the controller.

• Windows 7 seems to only detect my HDD USB 50% (or less) of the time.

  I'll post the question, followed by detailed system information.  I bought an all-in-1 dual HDD Dock from Amazon, intending to use it to clone my drive and for extra storage.  When I got the thing, it worked perfectly.  I formatted the drive and cloned it once.  Then I cloned my other PC HARD drive.  No problem.  Now, I started using a small 40 GB HARD drive to store data on.  I have set up for quick removal as opposed to High Performance in the Windows computer management tool.  After 2 or 3 days, Windows could not detect the HARD drive that was plugged into the dock, but the built-in memory card reader went fine and was accessible.  I assumed that the used 40 GB drive was bad and he traded with another disk of 120 GB used.  Same question.  Read and writes data for 2-3 days, then disappeared from the workstation and the Windows computer management program.  I wrote again chalked it up to a bad disc.  Finally, I bought a new, sealed in box from Maxtor Diamondmax 16 80 GB HARD drive and installed in the dock.  No problems.  Finally, this one seemed longer that the rest, about 4 or 5 days of heavy use, as I was transferring all the intensive memory of data (videos, games and music).  Then, frustrating, it's the same thing.  The dock SD card and reader Memory Stick see drive fine, but not hard.  I have reset, nothing.  After about 30 min., it will then appear.  The next day at the start, nothing.  Then after that unexpected reset was done, it shows back, data intact, as ever, nothing happened.  It is very annoying, because my data are only available SOME of the time.  (I'm sure you can imagine).  Anyone have ANY ideas?  Beyond me.  Here is my system information: laptop Sony VAIO VGN-FW190, circa 2008, with an Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 [email protected] 2.27 GHz, 2 GB RAM, built-in DVD - RW and Memory Stick/SD card reader, 3 USB ports (which all have the same reaction the disk HARD, BTW) and Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - Bit with Service Pack 1 installed.  Thank you very much for taking the time to read all this, I just wanted to be very clear on the issue.  I wanted to blame the HDD Dock, but very well it seems to work for a bit, and the drive performs very well if I install internally, so I can only blame some Windows/driver problem?  It's a strange question - if they would stop all together, I would understand.  If anyone can help, or need more information, PLEASE contact me.  I ticked the box "Notify me when someone replies"... again, thank YOU!

  After a few experiences, I discovered how to fix this problem.  I don't know if this method is 'safe', but it works for me and until there has been no data loss/hard disk problem.  This fix works for Windows 7 and Windows 8.  Here are the steps to take to solve the problem:
  Disconnect the USB port from the all-in-One HDD Docking station PC.
  Startup PC.
  With a docking power off power, remove any HARD drive located in the All - In - One HDD Docking station.  (SD/Memory Sticks do not need to be removed, but any device connected to the USB port of the station MUST be removed).
  All-in-One HDD Docking unit on and connect to the USB port.  PC should detect the SD card reader was plugged.
  Then the power of the device is turned on, quickly and carefully insert a HARD drive.
  Wait for Windows recognizes the drive.
  Then place the other HARD disk if necessary.
  If you haven't already done so, use the Windows Management tool to 'say' Windows on new readers.
  You will need to repeat this procedure every time you start IF you switch off the docking station.  A reset will not cause Windows to "forget" the readers if the power of the station is not interrupted.

  As I said, I don't know if this method is 'safe', but it works for me.  However, I would make sure that your readers are set up for fast moving as opposed to High Performance in the Windows computer management tool.  Good luck.

• Sony Vaio in operating system not found?

  I have a laptop Sony Vaio, model SVE14AJ16L number and I got a new drive hard since the hold had ceased to function. I didn't need all the files on the old drive, so I just jumped out. I installed the new drive, but then did not work the Assist button. I googled this and I couldn't find a solution. I need to install Vaio care, but cannot find the Vaio care for my model number. I needed to install Windows 8, but for some reason it wouldn't detect the DVD or USB. I made the USB drive bootable using rufus and I downloaded an ISO and intended to put the serial number on the bottom of my laptop. It looks like all that operating system not found. I can't go into the BIOS, because that's what the assist button, and it does not detect. The towers of DVD and USB activity led blinked his eyes, but nothing. I don't know what is happening. Even when I took out the hard drive and put in the DVD/USB, it seems still operating system not found. I can't find the model number on this site.

  TL; DR
  Installed a new drive, HELP does not, does not detect a bootable USB/DVD, appears only as an operating system not found. I made bootable USB/DVD and tested on other computers.

  Please help, thanks.

  Basically, I don't have your system to test, so I'm just guiding you the general procedures.

  First of all, FORGET the ASSIST button. To explain the question "why?" would take a lot of time and goals here is to install new windows in your new drive.

  Secondly, I highly recommend you have all the necessary drivers for your equipment before your proceed with the windows installation 8 or 8.1. I own VPCSB28GG and Windows 8.1, several functions DO not work properly as it does in Windows 7. So, unless you have a deep knowledge on the computer, do not go for windows 8.1 yet or at least try to install windows 8.1 on a different drive for a test run.

  Thirdly, I strongly recommend allows you to install Windows 7 USB stick / 8 / 8.1 since the DVD player is not a reliable source from USB. Microsoft also provides tools to help people installing Windows 7 / USB 8.x. Please google it.

  As the symptoms that you have described, I recommend the steps as follows:

  1. go in the BIOS / settings (by pressing F2 during POST) UEFI. Under start options, your system may use a different name, but in principle it is similar to this: '1 ST Boot Device' "2nd Boot Device" "3rd Boot Device"... and so on. The value '1 ST Boot Device' your desire, such as CD-ROM bootable media, DVD-ROM, external USB/HDD. In my case, it is an external device because I use USB boot Windows 7 / 8.x installation. The "2nd Boot Device" in the HARD drive internal value. Drive HARD internal is your disk newly installed (or current).

  2. run the windows installation wizard. During the installation of Windows, your computer may restart several times. However, AFTER THE FIRST USE, you must go to the BIOS / UEFI with once again. The value '1 ST Boot Device' internal HARD drive. If you forget this step, you will encounter a loop of Windows installation. So, I suggest to pay attention pls. After that Windows Setup is complete, you can install drivers for your system. Find it in Support to the Sony Web site. You will need to download the Windows 7 drivers for Windows 8 as Intel Management Engine, components Sony blah blah blah. Please keep in mind, Vaio Care cannot make you suggest.

  3. in the installation of Windows, you won't find your HARD drive to destination of installation. In this case, go to the BIOS / UEFI setting, replace your SATA AHCI by compatible IDE or SATA port configuration. You can later change back to AHCI AFTER installing your SATA driver.
