• Updated the motherboard, processor and RAM and upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, after upgrade the external hard drive encrypted with bitlocker will not enter the password.

  Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

  Hello

  I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

  Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

  I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

  Hello

  Reassembly of the old computer won't help. You will always need the key to open the Bitlocker.

• Satellite A20-S103 - crackling noise with new HARD drive

  Hello together

  I upgraded my laptop A20-S103 with a hard drive Western Digital WD2500BEVE 250 GB running under Windows XP Pro.
  Since then, I have problems with the sound and the movement of the mouse when the CPU usage is high.

  Up to 50% of its use, works well but before I crack and mouse sticks and made jumping movements.
  The BIOS and drivers are updated to the latest versions of Toshiba online.
  After awhile and a lot of research, I got also the HDD running in DMA mode with the IDE4008.exe ALI tool isn't that hard drive is running in PIO mode.

  In addition, I think that the speed of the hard drive is low when the CPU usage is high.

  Please also read http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=89990𕾆 that is showing that I'm not the only one with this problem.

  Anyone know a solution?

  I agree with Akuma. You should try to update the BIOS and drivers from the chipset and see if it works or not.
  It's worth to try ;)

• the upgrade of my hard drive on an hp laptop. How to create a windows cd? KeyCode on laptop wallpaper

  the upgrade of my hard drive on an hp laptop.  How to create a windows cd?  KeyCode on laptop wallpaper

  You n "t do it this way.

  You use cloning software to clone your existing to the new disk drive.  For portable computers, you will need to purchase an external hard drive enclosure which is (a) compatible with your drive (SATA or PATA) interface and (b) compatible with external connections on your laptop (for example, USB, FireWire, eSata).  Do not spend a lot of money for this speaker ($ 10-$ 20).

  If your new hard drive Western Digital, you can get the free cloning (a 'special' version of Acronis True Image) of WD software (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list and is in no particular order):

  Acronis True Image Home 11
  EASEUS ToDo Backup
  Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
  Casper
  Norton Ghost

  The process is simple:

  1. Install the software on your laptop for cloning
  2. RTFM (do not skip this step)
  3. Install the new drive in the external case
  4. Connect new player to the computer
  5. Clone original disc on new drive
  6. Stop
  7. Unplug the external computer case
  8. Exchange records (original for external disk) and the new laptop drive
  9. Reboot and enjoy your new drive.

  When you know that the cloning operation was successful, format the old drive, which is now in the external case and use it for backup of data.

• Raid PowerEdge r.620 with single hard drive controller

  Hi all

  I have Dell PowerEdge r.620 with 1 * 1 TB hard drive, Raid Controller using mini H710... When I try to install Win Server 2008/R2 x 64 the HDD is not detecting, I've read in this forum of the disc cause hard does not detect is pilot raid is not installed, but I don't have that single hard drive is possible to set up raid with single hard drive or I don't have to use raid controller but I still don't understand how to set up the server with no raid...

  Thank you...

  Dimm21

  Sorry for the late reply, do you mean raid controller in the server? If you want to say, I always do not install driver coz is new server than i've got...

  I want to know, if posibble install raid on one hard drive and how to configure who... Server raid controller is mini H710

  Thanks for your response

  Yes, the RAID controller.  One you have?  I'll assume a PERC H710 for now:

  The H710 PERC is NOT compatible non-RAID (you cannot use a single disk without RAID)... in order to use a hard drive, you MUST configure a single drive RAID 0.  This must be done in the RAID controller BIOS utility, accessed by pressing CTRL-R during POST when prompted.

  Once configured, you need TO load the driver for the operating system, see the drives connected to the controller.

  If you have a H310, it SUPPORTS no RAID, so you do not have to configure anything in the RAID controller BIOS, HOWEVER, you MUST always load the RAID controller driver during installation.

• Possible to replace an SSD with a HARD drive?

  I am currently working on HP Mini 1030nr a friend.  It was sold with a 16 GB SSD and now the operating system broke down.  We decided to go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7, however, the SSD is too small.  I'd rather not go and spend $100 and more on an SSD to replace this one.  I'm able to go out with a HARD drive instead?  16 gb is hardly anything.

  Well, after having read little more on it and opening it up, I discovered that although it CAN be exchanged with a HARD disk, it cannot have a 1.8-inch HARD drive.  I have more of a problem to find these tiny hard drives at a reasonable price.  So, Yes, you can use a HARD drive, but it's almost better just pay the bucks for a new SSD to go through the trouble to obtain one of these mini things.

• My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also backed u

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

• Problem with new HARD drive and Qosmio Player installation

  Hi all
  I hope someone can help, I had my Qosmio for 2 1/2 years now and recently had a problem with the hard drive. I decided to replace the hard drive, because it was the fastest solution. The problem I have now is that I can't receive TV on media center. I tried to install qosmio player at the disk to see if it made any difference, but when I run the provided recovery disc software tells me that there is not enough disk space! The laptop came with a 60G hard drive and the new HARD drive manufactured by the same manufacturer is a 150 GB, can someone help me out with this would be appreciated.

  Thank you
  ED.

  Have you tried to install Qosmioplayer initially, then on operating system? If I remember well, on this first portable Qosmio, it was very important to install Qosmioplayer initially.

• A40: problems, I think that with a hard drive

  Hello! Bit of background - had a laptop Toshiba SA40 ISI during a little less of 2 years, and there have been some major problem with it in these last days (until then it had been beautiful and functional with brio).

  He started working yesterday incredibly slowly, took forever to load, kept on crashing etc. After the restart for the 5th time, it would have just send me to the "Windows didn't load correctly screen ' and ask me to select an option, and whatever that I did sent me to the toshiba load screen, Windows does not at all.

  So I had use the product recovery disks and reformat the hard disk. For half a day, the laptop was working once again excellent, no problem. Then this morning, out of nowhere, it completely crashed again. I rebooted, and again the same problems appear. But now I can't used the product to reformat recovery disks. A few times he reformatted then the screen became all black. The error messages became more in worst - now, when I'm trying to recover, comes up with an error message:

  GDISK (e) cannot write to sector 0 of the fixed disk 1 - the IDE controller error

  F0ollowed by a little more information, I have not a chance to note that the screen then recovering flashed, then the screen says:

  !!!!!!!!!! Error!

  Then a screen that says:

  DAY 02/05/06
  Error No.: 11030
  Message: Invalid destination drive

  He has gradually deteriorated. I think there is a problem with the hard drive, the previous messages referred to make it incapable of partition. It is quite anmnoying as it came straight from heaven. Everyone has experienced or heard of something like that? Anyone know what is the problem or what to do? How do you think it will cost you for difficulty? I don't know if it is covered by the warranty, or if this series comes with 2 year warranty.

  Any help would be much appreciated

  Russell

  Hello

  If the warranty is valid, then all replacements will be done free of charge. If you are not 100% sure so call the Toshiba service in your country. Please note; If you open the notebook (remove covers) by yourself if you will lose the warranty.

• Y480 - laptop does not start with attached hard drive enclosure.

  My laptop started clicking and will boot LAN, so I opened it and looked at the hard drive. All seemed well, it wouldn't be fair to start. Then I removed the metal casing around it and stuck the drive in. Everything started normally. Chkdsk shows nothing wrong with the hard drive, and I'm not sure why remove the dressing would affect startup. All the thoughts/solutions?

  Blue... temporarily parts of the sponge to keep the HARD drive in place.

  and if your Y480 is still under warranty, can consult a Support technique Lenovo...

• If your computer comes with a hard drive of 32-bit pc will work better by adding another hard drive of 60 bits or transfer all files on the hard drive of 60 bits?

  The pc is a hp pavilion a706n and windows vista ultimate.

  Hello

  You confuse the version of Windows with the hard drive.

  A hard drive is a physical device for Windows (operating system)
  are the programs installed. When the data is created and saved which are written in the
  hard drive. A hard disk is analogous to a wardrobe as a storage device.

  Hard drives are not little dependent, which means that you can run Windows 32 or 64 on them
  If the rest of the system is compatible with every version.

  Windows can be 32-bit or 64-bit. But not all hardware systems can run both.
  Many 32-bit systems cannot run 64-bit Windows.

  Your computer came with at least a possible hard disk to add possibly
  internally, and certainly outside.

  WiKi - hard disk drive
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive

  As TrekDozer said that your computer cannot run as 64-bit Windows if you need to stay
  with 32-bit Windows. However, you can add additional hard disks of extra disk space.

  Check with HP support, their books online and the drivers, diagnosis, and
  their forum are good sources of information from others with the same or similar
  systems.

• Blue screen error: 0x0000001a when using system to restore with new hard drive disk

  original title: blue screen error when you use the system disk to restore with new hard drive

  I bought a new hard drive to my computer because the old one gave me a bunch of error messages on screen blues. I installed in the tower and tried to use my restore and system recovery disks that the manufacturer has given me, the process has got to the last disk then asked for the system once again restore disc, and then began to load the last steps and went to blue screen error. I don't know what to do, I mean it's a whole new drive hard, so where could the error come, theres nothing on the hard drive because I have not yet used really, yet. Help, please

  I have finally fixed the problem myself. The problem was that one of the sticks three memory was bad and the only way I could test this error. I took two sticks a left, used disks I had and was able to restore my computer, then I put a stick, turned on the computer, had no errors so I let him, so I put the last stick in and com immediately on, I had the Disconnections: memory management and that's when I knew that the last stick of memory was bad I took it back and now my computer works well and I can't buy more memory for not too. So if someone gets this BOSD error on memory, I'd say 8/10 computers have bad memory (not a number). If youcannot run the tool of diagnosis of memory like me then I would suggest to do what I did with the trial and error, it was the only way to understand the problem. Thanks for your help
