Hello

2 GB drive allows you to store a copy of some files but it is not big enough
to perform a backup of the system.

  • What size of HARD drive is compatible with my Satellite A100-771

    Hey guys,.

    is there a size limit of HDD for my A100-771?
    And what type of HARD drive I need? IDE or SATA?

    Thank you very much.
    Eathen.

    Hi dude

    From my experience, the Satellite A100 series was equipped with SATA drives.

    There should be a SATA HDD controller and you can use SATA 2.5 hard drives.

    I think that there isn t disc HARD size limit since the SATA controller is not limited to all special HARD drive sizes

    I think that most SATA HDD must be compatible

  • What kind of hard drive is HP Pavilion dv6700. its about 7 years

    its running vista, but the computer will not start all the way.  I did a diagnostic test and it said to replace the hard drive so im wondering what kind of hard drive is in it.   What is happening is the load on the computer to the microsoft, just before you put your password and then just stays black.

    Piece of cake on your model.

    If the test indicates the disk needs to be replaced, I would not argue against this info.

    You can try reinstalling the operating system before you buy a new HARD drive, but if it doesn't, then you know that the drive is kaput.

    Here is the link to the service manual.

    R & R procedures are in Chapter 4.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01295877.PDF

    You will also need to reinstall the operating system. You can see if the recovery discs are available by contacting HP technical support.

    If you can read the product key of MS Vista 25 characters on the bottom of your PC, you can do your own Vista installation disc and allows to install the operating system.

    If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

    You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

    Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

    The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

    I selected no, make the ISO file.

    It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

    I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT PC desktop computer, they worked perfectly.

    When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-v...

    After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

    This is where I buy my PC hardware:

    At the top of the drive of 250 GB 7 200 rpm of line:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822136279

    A 250 GB drive to 5 400 rpm standard of good quality.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822236238

    You must transfer the caddy, the screw and the connector from the old HARD drive to the new, so nothing to mix until the job is done.

    I think that this old notebook to old IDE connector so please be sure of the former is back with a new.
    80 GB capacity will be OK.

    Best thing you can do is remove the old HDD and check if the HARD disk is connected directly or with the small adapter. M30 is old model laptop and I do not exactly remember what it looks like but, in general, I sure you can use this disc HARD m.

    In the worst cases send it back.

  • What size of HARD drive should input--> expert mode

    I cannot using the last portion of the expert mode where you can specify the size of the new disk.
    I don't know what value to enter in the space.
    When I click on enter, he keeps emphasizing it and do nothing.

    You must put the size of the partition you would like to have.

    You can make it visible in disk management settings.

  • Satellite A40 - what size of HARD drive max is possible

    This Satellite A40 has a 40 GB drive at 4200 RPM.
    Looking for 120 GB and 160 GB.

    This question is to know if I can consider a higer RPM one / or access time.

    What are the limits?

    Maurice Newsome

    Hello

    I presume that the A40 supports an IDE HDD ATA-5 controller.
    In this case the 120 GB is the max of the LBA 28 bit

    But in your case I would first test an 80 GB or 120 GB HARD drive.

  • What type of HARD drive I can use Satellite M70-337?

    Hello
    I want to upgrade my Satellite M70-337 with a 120 GB HARD drive. I have an external USB with a Toshiba MK-1234GAX 120 GB disk drive in it, I could share with my original 40 GB hitachi drive.
    Is this compatible with the laptop HARD drive toshiba, if not, what is the specification for the necessary HARD disk?

    Thanks for any help!
    Károly

    Hello

    I think what you need is a HARD drive with the SATA interface. I think that the 40 GB of HARD drive that was installed in your laptop supports a 5400 RPM.

    To my knowledge the external USB case supports an IDE hard drives. But you know, it is possible to s that your external HARD drive supports a SATA interface. In any case, you must check it before using this laptop computer HARD drive.

    In addition, there is a problem with the size of the HARD drive. It is a 120 GB HARD drive and, possibly, the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive. I think you can use 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB hard drives but I'm not sure about the 120 GB.

    But you can test it.

  • Equium M70: Size of what OS on HARD drive and partition of creation

    Hi all
    I reinstalled my os using the provided recovery CD. The new hard drive I'm helping him right now is a WD 120 GB sata drive.

    My question is, what is the normal size of installation on the hard disk for the operating system? Is it possible that 6.98 GB as shown in the C drive properties? Also how can I perform a full reformat on drive C and that in order to partition the hard drive into 2 separate drive?

    Thanks for any help!
    Károly

    The Toshiba Recovery CD contains not only the operating system, but also different applications, driver and utilities. The whole software needs space on the HARD drive and 7 GB is nothing unusual.

    If you want to create multiple partitions on your HARD disk, you do not need to format all of the C drive but you could use a 3rd party software like Partition Magic 8 to create partitions
    This tool is awesome, you can control and manage the partitions very easy.

    Unfortunately, it won't work.

    Your desktop PC old venerable uses don't suport not the SATA interface and IDE hard disks. He certainly gave you several (10) years of great service.

    SSDS use the SATA interface.

    There is none of the hard drives SSD IDE on the market.

    This is why it was suggested at the forum that you referenced to turn off the old office in the pasture.

  • Lenovo ideapad Y510P what kind of hard drive is this?

    Hi people,

    I have a question. Today I want to defragment my Ideapad Y510P, but I don't know why I have 5 stations of hard drive? What type of disc is \\?\Volume{3db4... (see photo)

    Gamenick wrote:
    But that disk station is fragmented by 29%, it does not matter?

    As noted that the partition has been created by the operating system. I don't know what (probably for recovery). Since there is a schedule for Defrag I think it will be supported by the system when the time comes. So I just deal with C and D and leave the others alone. The other two partitions should be used by OKR.
