What is drive "d" on a sr1365cl?

How can I remove a lot of things that are added to my Compaq Presario SR1365CL I do not use?  Is the "D" of ram, an additional storage drive or what?  Will be formatting it help the pc run faster?

Hello:

Most likely the drive D is your recovery partition.

If you remove that you will need to have a set of recovery disks to reinstall the operating system.

It is not unusual for this drive show close to full. You shouldn't defrag it.

You can to your file system tools and first run a disk cleanup, and then running the tool Disk Defragmenter on drive C:\ to tighten a little more performance from your PC.

The best thing to improve speed is to add more physical memory if you can.

  • What HARD drive I can use in Satellite U300 (issue of SATA)

    I have 4 years Toshiba U300. Recently, the hard drive (200 GB 5400 RPM) broked down.
    I want to replace but I don't know that can use any SATA II HARD drive, or I have to use the HDD with SATA I?
    On some forums, I found two users that puted new HARD drive in the old laptop and they complained that the speed of OS boot was hopeless.

    So the question is what HARD drive should I buy for this laptop?
    (I prefer capacity 320 or 500 GB)

    Hello

    SATA controller is downward compatible, you can use SATA I or SATA II HDD.
    It is important that you would use SATA 2.5 HDD. The size is not very important for 500 GB configuration issues should be ok too.

  • Satellite Pro M70 - what HARD drive can you recommend?

    I have Satellite Pro M70 and I have a 60GB HDD that I see what it s SATA 8 MB of buffer memory. The processor it s 1.73 GHz. I see that there is the Samsung typical 160 GB and the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 160 GB at the same price, which is better?

    And for only $ 11 more there's a Scorpio blue Western digital 320 with even 8 MB buffer than other 2. But I don t think so 320, that's a lot for Satellite Pro M70, and I have an external drive 2.5 "250 GB, data with this is not problem.

    What the best solution for this laptop? I don t want to burn now the phone LOL.

    Thank you

    Hello

    If your laptop is already equipped with SATA interface, you can use each HDD with SATA1 or SATA2 port on the new SATA interface there is no limit on the old standard IDE

    It s your choice what HARD drive you buy because I put t know your needs, but in my opinion it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive. All hard drives are similar and there is no significant difference (performance).
    I made good experiences with Western Digital and Hitachi hard drives.

    By the way: you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 rpm or 5400.rpm. Latter is faster but requires more power. In my opinion, this is useful if you often work with large files.

  • What hard drives are compatible for a Satellite L300-1AP?

    My HARD drive is somehow broken :( What hard drives are compatible for a Satellite L300-1AP so that I can something eBay?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Satellite L300 supports SATA HDD!
    SATA controller having no physical limit, you should be able to use any HARD drive 2.5 SATA. So, for example, a 500 GB 2.5 SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive should be compatible.

    then where in my drive hard is my factory set windows xp so I can remove and install the new operating system

    Post edited by: frederic

    Hello

    I m not a Satellite M70 owner but as far as I know this laptop comes with SATA drives. But you can check yourself if you remove the HARD drive and then you can see which interface it is.
    If you have a SATA interface, you can buy each HARD drive you want. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.

    Normally you can install Windows 7 but it s not released yet. Theoretically, it should work but I'll wait until it's official market.

    With a new HARD disk, you use the Toshiba recovery disc too. Why not? It s not dependent on the HARD drive you have so just boot make up and follow the instructions on the screen.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know. :)

  • EliteBook8540w: upgrade HDD on an EliteBook8540w - what HARD drive adapt?

    Hello fellow users of HP laptop

    I own an EliteBook 8540w and wonder what HARD drive I can use to upgrade this box.

    Here are the detailed specifications of the box.

    Processor type: Mobile Quad Core Intel Core i7-740QM, 2100 MHz (16 x 131)

    Card mother name: Hewlett-Packard HP EliteBook 8540w

    Motherboard Chipset: Intel Ibex Peak - M QM57, Intel Clarksfield

    HARD drive:

    The HARD drive I have now is this.

    I assumed that the height of the HARD drive is key here, so not so many restrictions on the HARD drive, is that OK? I could get an SSD as well as long as the height is very well, just?

    Thank you for your help.

    Best regards

    W9Y

    Yes, absolutely. Stick with 2.5 inches wide, 9.5 or 7 mm thickness SATA hdd or SSD. 7 mms are leaner, but the mounting holes are in the same place and the SATA data connector and the power supply is in the same place. You cannot use a 9.5 where only a 7mm is used as on Ultrabooks ultraslim, but a 7mm will replace a 9.5 mm. 7mm fits into the caddy and connectors will still work the drive but does not fill the carriage upwards. Yours is a chunky fellow that originally had a 9.5 mm drive. Sometimes you see disks of 2.5 inches wide from 12mm for blades and those who are not fit.

    If it's in the budget, get an SSD. I'm kinda an envangelist SSD, but you will be too once you have used a.

  • What HARD drive I can use on my Satellite A660-13D?

    Hello

    I'm looking for any compatible for a Toshiba SATELLITE A660-13D hard disk drive as the one inside is dead now.

    This model comes with the laptop is a TOSHIBA MK6465GSX 640 GB, SATA 3 Gb/second 5400 RPM 2.6 revision

    Official suppliers of Toshiba quoted me 130 euros por the same model.

    I can't have such model through any other store or the internet.

    There are a lot of different new TOSHIBA HDD in the market with the largest capacity and much less expensive than the MK6465GSK.

    Can I install any new toshiba HDD on my SATELLITE A660-13D?

    Is there any toshiba page where I can find out what toshiba HARD drive are compatible with my SATELLITE?

    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Fernando

    What you need is 2.5 SATA HDD and it may be Toshiba but it may also be of some other manufacturers. You don't need anything special. If possible consult your dealer and they can help you choose one that suits.

    Now, when you need a new HARD drive maybe you should think about upgrading with SSD. Disc SSD is much faster and use of SSD with your laptop will rapidly increase the performance of s for laptop.

    More info on SSD, you can read on http://storage.toshiba.eu/cms/en/index.html

  • Satellite A60 - 102 - what HARD drive is possible

    What capacity of hard drive used in this laptop

    Hello

    Satellite A60 is a little older series and I think that the laptop supports the IDE HDD controller
    Perhaps the HARD disk controller support for only 28 bit LBA, which means that only 128 GB would be recognized by the BIOS.

    I think a 120 GB HDD should work but I'm not sure if the biggest hard drives would be supported due to mentioned m 28-bit LBA
