• computer portable HARD drive

  My motherboard the HP G56-130SA died on me and I want to take out the HARD drive and install in my office to copy files on. Can anyone put me in the right direction in order to get an adapter (the United Kingdom) which will connect the cable of the HARD disk on my desktop SATA? Preference in-House then I can reuse as a spare drive!

  Have the same problem with the slimline DVD drive. I got a lead for the SATA but not the power cable.

  The DVD player has a different connector. 'S called it miniSATA.

  computer laptop optical mini-SATA to SATA Adapter regular

  However, a (SATA) hard drive of the laptop connects to the same connectors SATA Office. Same data and power cables. If your portable player seems different, it is just in a basket that had to be removed to expose the naked reader or has a connector on to attach to the motherboard for the laptop. I assure you that there is a regular SATA drive. Just open the side of the desktop and connect a SATA cable data and power on the drive from the laptop and the other end to the mother/power supply card and the reader will register and you can copy files over, it pick up when you're done.

  Many jobs now have a support to mount a 2.5 drive inches (mainly for the SSD) but if yours doesn't, you can get a 2.5 inches for support adapter 3.5 inches like that and permanently mount the drive of the laptop in the office.

• Image portable HARD drive for transfer to the new computer portable HARD drive on the same laptop

  Location:

  Laptop was to receive the new HARD drive more big;

  Configuration is complex and has a lot of data and SW engineering.

  Own re - install would take too long.

  In operating systems earlier I just created an image, installed the new HARD disk and restored the image.

  In Vista, it does not. New HARD drive with image does not start. (Partition is correctly selected as active)

  Tried other methods, including Robocopy but without success.

  Sysprep is the right solution? If so, how will this affect users profiles and installed applications?

  Thank you

  Paraxis

  Hi Paraxis,

  Whenever we use the system image and restore from it, the hardware must be same, as has already been made to backup. The hard disk partition should also be in the same size.

  You can use Sysprep on your computer and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  Preparation system (Sysprep) tool is a technology that you can use with other deployment tools to install Windows on new hardware, operating systems. The Sysprep tool prepares a computer for imaging of disc or delivery to a customer of the configuration of the computer to create a new computer security identifier (SID) when the computer is restarted. In addition, the Sysprep tool cleans up user-specific and settings specific to the computer and the data that should not be copied to a destination computer.

  Access the links below for more information on Sysprep.

• New external USB 500 GB Portable Hard Drive appearing is not in Windows Vista

  I connected a new 500G portable hard drive to a front USB port on my HP PC (with an AMD Phenom X 4 image processor), under Windows Vista Home Premium. Windows presented a pop saying that the driver has been installed, then he said: USB device installed. The software of the device has been installed successfully and is ready for use.

  However when I looked for the drive in Windows Explorer it wasn't there. I read in this forum, and using the information that I realized that I accessed the computer on my PC management - up it only shows C: drive and D: drive image factory, but below that, when disk 0 is assigned to the C: and D: drives it shows disk 1, unknown, uninitialized. Assuming that it is the car in question, I tried to initialize the disk, but then the error FUNCTION INCORRECTE.

  I don't know what to do at this point. If the player has not been assigned a letter, there seems to be no way to transfer or partition.

  A new drive must be formatted. That is why it is sjowing up as disc 1, unknown, uninitialized.

• Can I have the HP Portable hard Drive 500 GB connected all the time to the laptop?

  Hello. I bought a HP Portable hard Drive 500 GB with USB 2.0 to 3.0 running on Windows XP in a Toshiba Satellite laptop since 2003. I had a few problems, probably due to the low speed of my USB port, but now it seems OK, as I moved it to a different USB port according to the instructions for help. My question is if the hard drive has been designed to be connected all the time or if I have to disconnect me and just use it whenever I have store information. Thank you

  Hello

  I connect 3 of them to one of my laptops all the time. I actually use a (7 ports) USB hub

• portable hard drive of 1 t - can be used without a computer

  I need to a portable hard drive 1 t, as I can up load my pictures from my camera 7 d on the hard drive without using a computer. I don't want the addition of weight/packing space of computer on my church sponsored 2 week trip to Israel.

  Although there are offers available, they usually come to such a price premium you are much better off to find a small tablet or netbook computer that can accommodate a card reader and a USB hard drive external standard.

  These alternatives give you the advantage of being able to download a copy of your photos to the cloud using the wifi at the hotel. This way, if the drive is lost or stollen that you still have a backup of your photos available.

  Hi Carolinelightfoot,

  This error message occurs when the system could not read and write data to the registry file. The error indicates a problem with the registry.

  Method 1:

  You can run a Checkdisk to see if there are drive errors that can cause this problem.

  Check your hard drive for errors

  Note: When you run the disk check, there is a chance of losing the data that you can take a backup of important data before you run checkdisk.

  Method 2:

  You can also try to boot from a full version of Windows Vista installation disc and try to perform a restore of the system to WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment)

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  Hope this information is useful.

• Old access portable hard drive which had the windows user password

  My old laptop's motherboard is fried.  I took the hard drive and put in the case of the speaker.  want to access the files on the old hard drive but it was password protected.  How can I get rid of this password or be able to access the hard disk?  Thank you

  You can't install a program on the old hard drive to the new hard drive and expect it to work. You must install the program on your new computer and open the data from there. It does not matter that the old installation of Windows has been protected by. It also does not matter if you have UAC enabled for the old installation of Windows or not. The only place it's important is the new installation of Windows which you are working. If you still do not have the data , you need - not the programs - within your new installation of Windows, start the new computer with a Live Linux CD (Knoppix or Ubuntu) and copy the data to your new hard drive. Linux will not honor Windows permissions.

  If you still cannot understand this, consider the computer and the drive to a local professional reputable (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place). They will be able to get your data easily.

• I got my product key Windows 7 enabled on my computer, then my hard drive crashed, so I had to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive. He is now not letting me turn it back on.

  original title: activation problem

  -I got my product key Windows 7 enabled on my computer, then my hard drive crashed, so I had to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive.  He is now not letting me turn it back on.  What should I do?  I don't want my computer or Microsoft thinks I use a version of Windows

  It is Windows 7 Home Premium, and I my here in front of me activation code.  But it is to say that it is not valid.

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Portable: hard drive DST SHORT failed

  My computer won't start and repeatedly goes to a blue screen with a sunburst type above (the mouse pointer still work). I've run the HP tests and get this result:

  "Short DST: FAILURE.

  FAILURE ID: GDSDBX-TLR7RJ-9XL03F-604J03

  PRODUCT ID: XF288EA #ABU

  Hard drive 1

  "Test drive: FAILED.

  I guess that means that my hard drive is irreparable, but can someone confirm this. Also, I will be able to buy another hard drive and use the ERD that I did to reinstall Windows 7? I ask because it was preinstalled on your laptop and came with no disk to reinstall. Only, I was commissioned to do a repair disk.

  Thanks in advance.

  Dan
