• What spare hard drive do I need? Thank you...

  Hello

  Thank you for viewing my post. I really appreciate any input.

  I have a laptop Compaq Presario C306US

  I need a new had drive and the recovery disc for this.

  I was wondering, what replacement hard drive would be a better solution for it? Also, where can I get the recovery disc for the computer? I need them both.

  Thanks again for any help.

  Kind regards

  Stephen

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See page 5-7 for the removal and replacement of the drive hard. It uses the old IDE PATA aka to hard disks that are becoming hard to find. Unfortunately, they are also stupid expensive:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=9SIA0AJ17B5685

  The least expensive is located at 4200 RPM 40 gig for $100. Above is a 60 GB 5400 RPM for $120. Frankly the laptop isn't worth much. I doubt that HP still has the recovery disc for him, but we can find a download of a version of Windows XP OEM and you should have a key Code for XP on it.

  If HP is defined recovery you can get to it here:

• Hard drive failure immanent - have spare hard drive to install, but you need to know how

  Reading "HDD error" message says the hard drive is about to give up and I need to save - great - I have a spare hard drive that I can install - now the question is how can I transfer my copy of vista64 from a hard disk on my machine to another drive on the same machine.
  Yes, I saved all the documents vital to an external hard drive.

  Hard drive manufacturers normally provide their software websites of cloning to what you want to do...

  And there are 3rd Party Software to do you buy:

  Or try this:

  How to get Vista recovery Media.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.

  Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.

• Spare hard drive stops tray and rubber for X 201

  Hello

  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X 201. Due to the nature of my job I am frequently necessary to start a variety of operating systems. Recently I moved Ubuntu on a spare HARD drive to protect the integrity of the BONE, so now I have two hard drives - one that start in Windows 7 and another that starts in Ubuntu. The problem is that if I connect hard drive via the USB port to start Ubuntu, it's slow death and I had cases where the hard disk has developed bad sectors because the USB cable came loose and disconnected the disk. The only other option I currently use is to manually exchange internal hard disks every time I need to change operating systems. I was wondering if I can buy a platter of spare with her rubber mounts hard drive so that all I have to do is unscrew the cover of the drive Bay (one screw) and swap discs rather than to have to unscrew all and and screw on the other HARD drive repeatedly.

  Could someone please provide me with a FRU number for all of the SATA HDD assembly (less the HARD drive itself, of course, but including rail rubber).

  Thank you

  You can use the metal, the rubber bumper tray and the Bay's plastic cover.

• Portege 7100 - what size HARD drive it does support?

  Hello

  my old man (I'm a student, so no money for a new) Portege 7100 (ct) has a small hard drive, so I want to shift to a bigger... but what size HARD drive supports the 7100ct? (and that's a 1.8 "or can I use drives 2.5"?)

  thx for any help...

  Hello

  As far as I know that your unit has standard 2.5 "hard drive. Unfortunately there is no public record of such information. Accurate information, you can get that from accredited service partner or even some HARD drive supplier.
  In my opinion, your device must be able to manage with maximum up to 8 or 10 GB HARD drive. For me, we know that some offering it can manipulate the BIOS with special tools and after that BIOS recognize a much larger capacity HARD drive.

  Try to pick up some information on the net service partner or call your country. I believe that consultation service is free.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro 2100 - what HARD drive do I need?

  Hi all,

  I just got a Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100, but the hard disk has been removed for the protection of the data. Now, I don't know what type of HARD drive, I have to get PATA/SATA?
  Can a little help if you please?

  Hello

  You can buy this store on the computer HARD drive because it has an IDE interface. You can t use a HARD drive with the new SATA interface.

  So I agree with Akuma. Already, I think that everything is written here.

• Qosmio F10-132 - HARD drive failure - what HARD drive do I need?

  Hello, my hard drive is down, I have to find another, on the external drive only from the web of toshiba 2.5 are available!

  the HARD disk must be an IDE? not a SATA?

  you, changed your? where to find it?

  Thank you

  Hello

  AFAIK the Qosmio F10 needs SATA drives
  I think that you should find these information in the user manual, or here in the forum, use the search option and you will get a few discussions about the HDD F10

  However, these 2.5 SATA HDD can be bought from dealers for different laptop/computer or online (online store).
  You do not need to buy a Toshiba HDD usually, you can use different hard drives from different manufacturers, but the plug of HARD drive be right!

• 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!!!

• Pavilion 15: What replacement hard drive?

  Hello

  I need to replace the hard drive on laptop Pavilion 15 of my son. Can anyone recommend what to buy. I do not have a backup cd, so presumably I need to re - load windows etc. as well?

  Thank you very much

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  Media of 6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard drives in 9.5 mm (in.37) and 7.0 mm (.28 in.) thick (all hard drives use the same bracket)

  So this confirms accept the one I linked in the post above.

  Unfortunately, the removal of the hard drive is a little tricky. Start the p. 85 of the manual which shows how to remove the top cover.

  You can skip over the part on the withdrawal of the screen and go to p. 105 for the hard drive.

• what external hard drive should I buy to save a 2009 MacBook Pro with USB 2.0 port?

  I want to back up the hard drive on my circa 2009 MacBook Pro (13 '') with Snow Leopard.  There are so many things out there and I want to get the right one!  My MacBook has only a USB 2.0 port.  I need to do this because I take the machine to have the battery replaced and because I am buying a new machine soon and would like to transfer things I backed up on my new machine.  Any recommendations for what is the most appropriate portable drive would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

  I use this external enclosure: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MSTG800U3K/

  Can take any 2.5 in drive (HD or SSD).  I swap currently 3 bare drives (WD 750 GB Black) for familyvideos/data, clones, test data discs.  $72 seems expensive, but it has Firewire 400/800 and USB 2.0 and 3.0 interface for use with many computers.
