What external case for HARD drive do I need for my Portege 2010

I have a corrupted windows XP, but fear using the repair option due to the large number of photos of my children who have yet to be backed up or displayed in a photo etc store.

I found that you can buy a hard drive enclosure that can then be used via the USB port to download these important files before any repair option. I bought a standard encolsure 2.5 "from Maplin but the connection is a woman on both ends (enclosure and hard drive) and a few shorter pins on the drive of Toshiba wants the encolsure.
How I progress - my wife won't let me live if I can't get these photos off the coast and professional background should not be necessary.

Help!

Hi Andrew

Problem is that your Portege has 1.8 HDD and I found just this page where you can pick up some http://www.addonics.com/products/io/aks218ide.asp Info

I hope that you will be able to backup your data.

Good luck!!!

  • What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?

    What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?  Also, WHERE can I find this specification?  Drobo claims that 16 TB is the largest external RAID supported and I do not.

    FYI............ 2 UPDATES since I posted this question:

    "1. Drobo has updated their FIRMWARE to allow now to 'beyond' 64 power to RAID".  Thus, their original 16 TB limit has now been replaced by their new limit of 64 to.  Also note that when you use a Drobo, Apple Mac OS does correctly shows space 'Drive' and the 'free space', if the Drobo 16TB exceeds the size; but the Application DashBoard of Drobo displays the correct numbers.  For example, my Drobo 5 d contains 5, 8 TB disks, for a total size beyond 40 to RAID (theoretically, since most of us should know, now, that the ACTUAL SIZE IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER than THE THEORETICAL SIZE).  AVAILABLE FOR USE ACTUAL SIZE IS ONLY 28.9 TB.  Thus, 40-28, 9 = 11.1 TB gets used in place for the PROTECTION of RAID beyond and the difference between REAL SPACE and SPACE THEORY.  It IS NORMAL because any RAID 5 device always uses about 1 size of hard drive for its Protection.  So, knowing this, the DeskTop icon showing 28.9 TB disk space and free space as everything that is not yet used.  However, instead, the Mac OS shows 70,37 TB disk space and free space like 68,37 TB, which are both incorrect.  Although I'd love it if Mac OS has been magically increase my disk space, in fact, these two numbers are false.  Drobo knows this, and Apple has not, in my discussions with both.  So I hope, between the two companies, that this problem can be corrected.

    2. after many hours on the phone with Apple Support, through no less than 6 people including 2 senior advisers, NONE OF THEM COULD ANSWER MY QUESTION ON CE WHO IS MAXIMUM ALLOWED HARD DRIVE or RAID SPACE AUTHORIZED BY Yosemite and El Capitan.  For me, THIS IMPORTANT FACT SHOULD SIMPLY BE LISTED IN THE OS SPECIFICATION TECHNIQUE, it's quick and easy to read on the Support Site.  But Apple is the new bureaucracy, they are, I don't see what is happening any time soon.  So, be aware that, for now, HE IS No. LIMIT ON SIZE, as an Apple adviser said; but could not confirm in writing; and, IT IS AN INCORRECT DISPLAY SIZE AND FREE SPACE, if your drive is greater than an unknown 16 + TB in size.  Note that I have 3 other RAIDs that are properly in place showing that 9 TB, TB 12 and 18 to size; but I do not know how the SIZE IS IMPORTANT to ensure that the operating system display it correctly, except for my Drobo TB 40.  So, the bottom line, somewhere between to 18 and 40 to is where he goes wrong, in its display of sizes.

  • What capacity of the HARD drive in 1670CDS

    New, I HAV Satellite 1670CDS with Phoenix BIOS ver. A 1.07.
    My drive HARD broked down. I have to buy a new one. What capacity of the HARD drive will be detected BIOS corectly? How many GB of hard drive I can buy?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    This kind of information can give you just authorized partner. I found the info your device comes with 6 GB of HARD drive. Am I wrong?

    I'm sure you can use 10 or even 12 GB of HARD drive without any problem. If you want to use more than capacity, it is possible that it will not be recognized by the BIOS.

    I found an offereor which has guaranteed that even at 30 or 40 GB hard drives can be used on older models, but the BIOS should be handled with the special tool and is not for free.

  • I can't say what's on my hard drive and what is in my iCloud

    I'm trying to free up hard drive space and storage iCloud added.  Unfortunately, I'm unable to see exactly what is on my hard drive.  I don't have duplication, but to delete almost everything on my hard drive.

    Help?

    iCloud is geared towards sharing between devices and is not designed for cloud storage only. Everything you place in iCloud Drive will also keep a copy of your MacBook. You can save possibly reduce the space required on your Mac if you use iCloud photo library by going to the preferences of Photos and turn on "Optimize Mac storage" but which only applies to photos and will be possible only if space is needed.

    There are 3 third-party services like Dropbox and OneDrive that have options for cloud storage only.

  • What is the largest hard drive that will work in dv6324us laptop computer?

    What is the largest hard drive that will work in a HP Pavilion dv6324us laptop?

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01035677.PDF

    Support for HARD drives and capacities are listed in Chapter 3, page 3-25.

    Personally, I think you could install a SATA II 320 GB to your laptop.  Maybe even a 500 GB.

    You could also probably install a drive of 7 200 rpm for better performance or if the battery life between charges is more important for you, then stick with a disk of 5 400 rpm.

  • I installed an external USB connected hard drive Seagate, it slowed the computer and check the new disc repeatedly

    Hello

    I installed an external USB connected hard drive Seagate to copy some movies and pictures of my HP laptop with Vista, but it became a big problem. It slowed the computer and check the new disc repeatedly. Then it wouldn't start without the external drive at all but it was working fine once he was conducting with the external hard drive. So thinking I can outsmart the computer, I uninstalled the drive from Control Panel. Now it primer not at all. The computer lights up briefly and then goes out of itself almost immediately, is there a solution to this? Thank you

    Original title: startup problem

    Hi SomBhattacharya,

    Please try the possible fix following first thanks to Carey Frisch:

    1. open the BIOS of the motherboard.
    2. find where it says Priority Boot Device, then select CD/DVD-ROM 1, 2nd Hard Drive and disable all the rest.
    3 find somewhere in the BIOS where it says BOOT USB, Wake on USB, etc. and disable all unnecessary options.

    And second if it does not help, you can try the following with Blue Michael:

    Local Geek Squad had me intentionally set the BIOS to the correct order, then re-order and SAVE.
    It worked, even if the list of the BIOS was always in the right order.

    I hope this helps!

  • Equium M70 - what does average rpm in case the HARD drive?

    Hello

    I'm currently looking to buy a hard drive but don't know which means that the number of rounds, IE is it better to have a higher or lower rpm file?

    Thanks for any help

    Hello

    RPM refers to the rotation of the head per minute.
    It's the speed of the HARD drive the faster the head rotates faster HARD drive can write and read data from the disk.

    Usually the 7200 RPM is a very good report, so if you are looking for a HARD drive then I recommend you buy the HARD drive supporting this speed but this value is not very important for the performance of the laptop everything is good to have, but not very necessary. You know

  • Envy DV7: What size/form factor hard drive is in my laptop?

    Good evening.

    Well, my desire for two year, died the other day care of overheating the chronic problems that seem struck Envys at this time. My block of cooling died beforehand, that was probably the cause of the rise in temperature. Yep, that burning smell of rubber from the exhaust vents was kind of present that something was wrong, as well as the characters of ding strange wing that the display has been put in place and the intense heat of the keyboard who suddenly developed. Unfortunately, it was out of warranty. I really liked this PC, too.

    In any case, I would remove the hard disk that is inside to retrieve the data using an external hard drive enclosure but I need to know what size or form factor of the hard drive is to buy the appropriate forum. I guess it's a 2.5-inch form factor. Is this correct?

    Thank you very much

  • External 1 TB HARD drive not recognized PS3

    Hello

    I brought a 1 to external yesterday, had home loaded up, went to the to connect to the PS3 via USB and my PS3 does not recognize. I called the computer store, that they said that I had to format, so I followed the instructions to change the settings for EXFAT and it still does not work.

    Someone in English can help me please?

    Hi djsi,

    Unfortunately I think that it s hard to say something, because here he s a forum user to user Toshiba and you should request this in a forum of PS3 for example.

    No one knows what PS3 and the firmware you have and what type of HARD drive you have.

    So just ask an expert PS3 or PS3 Forum. There, you should get an appropriate response. ;)
