• Installation of a HARD drive bigger to an old A120 - any size or XP activation problems?

  Satellite Pro A120 WCC PSA - 007009EN, 1.46ghz GHz Celeron M 410. Present HDD - Fujitsu MHV 2060BH PL (according to Belarc Advisor)

  This old machine still works perfectly, and I think the installation of a hard drive over to dual-boot Linux with the existing XP (Home edition).

  (1) anyone know what size hard drive can be adapted to this model? I had a glance on the Toshiba site, but can't find anything for this other than the manual model rather vague.

  (2) is it likely to be difficulties with the annoying "genuine advantage" em / the product activation process? Ideally, I would like to use Macrium reflect to the image of the current installation, and then write the image to the new hard drive. Although using the product recovery CD could give a new installation in nice, it would be convenient to avoid having to reinstall applications, get rid of the Norton AV 90 days etc. The only other product of MS on the machine is 'A Note,' that came with the computer and is very useful. (And "reactivated" which easily when I started to use the machine after the former owner had reinstalled from the product recovery disc.)

  (3) anyone know where free online manuals for old Toshibas? According to my first question - I find the user manual lacking in useful detail and can find nothing useful for the Toshiba archives. (I'll also post a query on a 430 old - if I could find a source of information, this would save me to barely have advisers useful forum more often that it is absolutely necessary!)

  My apologies if I'm slow to respond to all posts. I need to get out, but you come back tonight in case anyone has any suggestions.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi tryagain.
  -for your first problem (hard drive size), try a 160 GB drive, it should work (your current drive is a 60 GB?) but also 320 GB should work
  in my possession, I found if a 60 GB HDD runs on a larger controller also works...
  -for the second (installation of win), you can avoid activating windows again by cloning your system on new hard drive
  There are tools available free clone that you can use
  -for the last one (manual for old Toshibas) there is a point 'archive' choose in the download area where 'real old' operating manuals can be downloaded,
  but I think you're looking for more information to dismantle your machine - I can't find anything like that also...
  but good! No not guaranteed - no a cry... for your 430 ;-)

• How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive?

  How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive, please?  I was going to re - install, then I changed my mind.
  Now, every time that I reboot, instead of launching Windows XP Pro, it try to run Windows installation.  The installation program appears as a second menu item under "Windows XP Pro" on the black screen at launch.

  How can I remove it from the startup screen and flush it out of my system?

  Any correction, automated for this?

  Thank you.

  It is difficult to determine what you did, but the symptoms you describe can be eliminated by editing the boot.ini file (you can also make things really difficult if you make a mistake when you edit the boot.ini file, so be careful).  Will not be "flush out the Windows installation" of your system, but it will stop the menu from appearing at startup time.

  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022

  Your boot.ini file probably has a second line in the [operating systems] section.  Make sure that you delete only the line that points to the installation routine.

• 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.

• Satellite Pro M45 overheating after a few updates and installation of new HARD drive

  I have a sat pro p4 overheated now. I tried the old hoover and this does not work. The thing is that both fans do not seem to turn on. All this happened after I downloaded some updates to put on a new hard drive, I bought.

  Now the fans are not at all turns. My m/b is actually a model of the A45 and I put a 2.0/128/400 CPU inside. The old man who was in it is a 2.4./512/533

  It seems that you have changed almost everything on the laptop.
  Motherboard, CPU, HARD drive, etc.

  Believe me; It s not easy to say why fans don t start. How everyone should exactly known what you did on your laptop?
  Maybe the card mother doesn t provide the power for the fan or the connection is failing.
  Are you sure that the motherboard is ok?

  Unfortunately, all we can do is to hear from you.
  But usually some diagnostic tests are needed to locate the fault.

• Can Equium L40 - I change hard drive SATA to AHCI Mode?

  Hello

  Anyone know if it is possible to change the hard drive to SATA AHCI (or same IDE) mode in the BIOS?

  I see the hard drive in the BIOS but I can't select to make changes as long as it is "gray".

  I installed the latest version of the BIOS, but that made no difference.
  Thank you very much.

  I put t have this model of laptop, but usually the controller SATA in BIOS mode options are AHCI or compatibility.
  I presume that it is set to AHCI.

  Your laptop's SATA HDD so I put t understand why you want to change anything. Using the AHCI mode HARD drive can operate at full speed.

• 2nd HARD drive causes Qosmio G40 Crash

  My C drive is divided into 2 partitions in Vista Premium fine and everything ok.

  2nd HARD drive causes computer crash with the following error message:
  0 x 00008086
  0x00000100
  0X000002B4
  0x00000001
  0x00000000

  I reinstalled everything wiped disks and now the drive will not format
  I read it could be a SATA problem but in the ability to change BIOS settings are not accessible.

  My missed day guarantee until it does not so I can t get it done about it.
  Before that happened, as I used to be able to use it for a while, then something relaxing blue screen, sometimes the laptop doesn t even see s it.

  Can anyone throw any light on the problem?

  Hello!

  Have you tried the Drive Fitness Test as suggested Akuma? You can check the HARD drive for bad sectors.

  CHKDSK isn't identical to the DFT and it can t detect errors on the HARD drive. Please run DFT to determine if the problem is the HDD, or not associated with.

  Good bye

• HP Pavilion 17-g101nu: installation of Win7 Hard Drives NOT FOUND

  I just bought a new HP Pavilion 17-g101nu and tried to install Win7 on USB.

  During installation, there is no drive to sellect as when the operating system must be installed.

  What can I do?

  I found people on the use of the internet a sort of burnt laptop drivers CD and then install them while on the process of installation of the window. Who will also work?

  I have also not found any settings in the BIOS on the formats of SATA and so on.

  I thank the of for playback.

  (I have no idea if this is the right place to ask, but just bought this laptop with only of BACK).

  Hello:

  First you must make sure that you have entered in the BIOS and enabled legacy mode that must disable secure boot.

  Then see if the response marked resolved in the link below allows you to install W7 from your USB key.

  Your laptop is the same chipset and the 6th series of processor gen like the one referenced in the message.

  I'd rather than PCIe PCI for this purpose.

  HP liked SIIG for a number of their SATA PCI slot cards.  SIIG has updaters for these maps on its web site, and the pilots understand place in Windows 8.  Here's what I recommend if you want to only two new SATA internal ports:

  http://h30094.www3.HP.com/product.aspx?SKU=3062195&mfg_part=SC-SAT212-S4&pagemode=CA

  There is also a card HP SIIG eSATA that HP has used, and I have also used that... it worked great.  It has two eSATA ports and no port SATA internal:

  http://h30094.www3.HP.com/product.aspx?cache=2012565552&culture=en-us&SKU=2850719

  In addition, you can connect a single SATA hard drive on an eSATA port (the reader would need external power supply) for formatting, etc.  For that you need a cable with eSATA on one end and a connector type SATA internal regular on others... it is so much easier than to open the box and play with the internal cables.  The best quality I've found for those who are Macgurus.com or Granitedigital.com.  Opt for a shorter (1 m) rather than a longer therefor version if you choose to do so, in order to reduce the risk of interference (which I have never seen this):

  Macgurus told them are indicated for the generation SATA I, II and III, and they are a little cheaper for a length of 1 m of the granite.  Both are excellent companies.

  Finally, there is a HP SIIG PCI with combined eSATA/SATA, with a player external eSATA and SATA port internal:

  http://h30094.www3.HP.com/product.aspx?SKU=2850718&mfg_part=SC-SA1012-S1&pagemode=CA

  I'd stick with HP SIIG solutions and probably buy directly from HP for this unless you can find the same for much less expensive on eBay.  The cards have had several revisions, and I think that if you get your HP, you would later.

• Installing a hard drive SATA 2 with the first hard drive is an IDE hard drive

  I have an M50 - 8187 think Centre and I see on the motherboard and in the manual that there is a 1 SATA and SATA 2 connection. I tried to plug in a SATA 2 hard drive but when I connect it using a SATA data cable, there is nothing recognizable in the BIOS.

  I took a 30 GB IDE HDD and hung like a slave and the BIOS recognized immediately.

  My question is, if a SATA hard drive can be used on the M50 series think Center and if so, what do I do I do get recognized in the BIOS SATA 2 controller. I've updated the BIOS with the latest version, but it did not help. I don't see where in the BIOS to enable the SATA.

  Help about my problem is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Yes, Regina is the Canada.

• installation of old hard drive with windows Xp in a new Core I7 processor

  Don't want to format the hard drive and lose all programs and files.

  Besides the updates, there are two types of license and (excluding the Media Center) two versions of Windows XP.

  License types: OEM and retail

  Version types: Home and Professional

  Just because you have professional does not mean that it is not OEM.

  OEM licenses must have a certificate of authenticity with activation key stuck to the case somewhere commercial Versions have not an activation key sticker will accompany the installation media.

• Dv6 - 6153cl supports hard drives SATA III?

  I have a problem with my laptop and I think I've narrowed the problem down to the HARD drive. I want to replace and update, but I don't know what drives can I use.

  I would like to know if I can install a SATA III HARD disk in my computer laptop dv6 - 6153cl. From what I can tell, it currently has an installed SATA II HDD. Can I switch from SATA III or am I stuck with SATA II?

  Download the SATA-III. Even if the motherboard supports only SATA-II (not true in your case), you can use the SATA-III drives. SATA is fully backward compatible. But, yet again, your motherboard HM65 chipset that supports support SATA-III. A good rule of thumb is that if it has USB 3.0 is also SATA-III. Not 100% true but terribly close to true.
