XPS 8300: Install new hard drive 3 TB BSOD results after imaging but not after Win7 clean

I have a XPS 8300 and the original Seagate 2 TB hard drive is dead. Because being forced to install a new HARD drive, I opted for 3 TB and bought a WD because I had horrible luck with Seagate repeatedly.

Anyway, I installed the new HARD drive and booted from the Windows 7 64 bit Pro installation disc and attached my external drive to backup and choose the backup image to the new disk. It completed without error, but when the computer restarts, I get a blue screen of death with the 7B stop code. I tried to put the HARD drive in a box and attached to another computer, and all my image files are there so I know that the computer was able to write the image to the new HARD disk. How to fix the BSOD errors? I set to update to the latest version of the BIOS (A06) but always the blue screen. I tried to install the latest Intel drivers also and which does not seem to do anything.

Frustrated, I installed Windows 7 clean on this drive and I am writing this message from him. The drive appears in my computer as a 2 TB. Disk Management displays 100 MB System Reserved Partition, Partition C: of 2047 GB and 746 GB unallocated.

Why a new installation does not seem to work (I know that I would have to format the 746 GB to use it and to give it a new drive letter) but the imagery that the disc breaks down. What Miss me?

I've seen a lot of posts on using Intel drivers to solve similar problems. These drivers get breaths during the imaging process? Should they be installed before the imagery of the backup? (Thought that I did, but maybe I didn't do it right - their installation can be verified before the disk imaging?) Tried to call Dell and Windows support... am no where in a hurry.

Hi LG1382,

You cannot start Windows 7 on a 3 TB drive. You can use it for data, but not as the system drive. Windows 7 can only start TPG on systems with BIOS UEFI, which does not the 8300.

  • HP Probook 4520 s installed new hard drive with Windows 7 pro x 64 and drivers - very lag

    Hello

    I had my HP Probook 4520 s for 5 years and a few months ago, he started to become very lag, especially when you use the internet, streaming video and games.

    I thought I had identified the problem as a bad sector on the hard drive and so I bought a new hard drive and upgraded the RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB at the same time.

    When I installed the new hard drive, I couldn't burn an image of my old hard drive (it would stop during the process and was unable to do so because of an error). I used my little HP Windows 7 Pro x 64 operating system DVD and your HP Application and Driver Recovery DVD to install the necessary drivers on my replacement new drive.

    The RAM and the new hard drive seem to be good, however, it's more lag. I tried to use latancy monitors to see if the drivers are the issue. It seems that there is a huge amount of latancy and my CPU is at an almost constant usuage of 100%.

    LatancyMon points in the following drivers: usbport.sys, tcip.sys, acpi.sys, iastor.sys, ndis.sys, dxgkrnl.sys and so on.

    I've seen forums where they will guide you step by step how to determine what drivers are causing latancy. This I could do although he always seems to change drivers who are the cause of the problem and there seems to be a lot of pilots of causing this problem it is so difficult to bring out here that one. In addition, there seems to be no solution to these problems. The only one offered is to update the offending drivers. This does not solve the problem with lag and the latancy yet.

    Any ideas?

    P.s. I really don't know not what is the underlying issue is here so I don't know if this is the right forum to post in. Drivers may not at all be the issue, I spent the last four weeks trying to solve this problem.

    Hello skinandbones13

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I understand that you have a problem with your laptop. However, since it is a commercial laptop, you should post your question on the map cell of the HP Enterprise Forums for a better answer.

    Have a wonderful day!

    Hey Buddy,

    To be honest, it's really hard for us, users, to say what causes this problem and I think you should test more yourself

    Anyway, you have reinstalled Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk?
    You should also check if all Windows updates are installed and if you have yellow exclamation points in Device Manager.

  • Install new HARD drive in a PC 2100

    If anyone can help, I bought a second hand Toshiba SP2100(Model no.:PS210E-0069-5M) with a TravelStar 20 GB HDD. I bought a Toshiba MK4025GAS 40 GB of HARD drive to replace the 20 GB HARD drive, but when I install it, it is not recognized in the BIOS. I connected the new HARD drive to my PC via a USB cable to the IDE and the disc is recognized. Any ideas.

    Hello

    Well, it's not easy to say why the HARD drive may not be recognized.
    I think because of the size of the HARD drive. But that's my own opinion. Have you tried to update the BIOS? Please see the Toshiba for the right BIOS download page. But beware because the incorrect BIOS procedure may damage the motherboard.

    Good bye

  • Bluetooth driver after installing new hard drive

    Hello:

    RE: HP Pavilion DV7 - 4270us Windows 7 64-bit

    Two weeks ago, I replaced the internal hard disk on the above referenced pc. I added slowly back the necessary drivers and software using a large HP Expert.

    (Note: I have create recovery discs when the pc was new, but for some reason, they would not install new hard disk.) This is the reason why I'm adding drivers and software available, one at a time.)

    3 questions please:

    (1) because my pc's bluetooth, I don't remember adding a bluetooth driver. How could I know?

    (2) Lightscribe software has been installed at the factory on my pc, but I have not just now. Is it possible to get that back?

    (3) reviewed the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, but was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find the drivers for my pc if I have upgraded. In addition, read on the forum, it seems to be quite a number of issues upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8. 1. What are your thoughts?

    Thank you for your help and suggestions.

    For the Bluetooth drivers:

    If you need drivers, follow these steps:
    1. in the run box, type devmgmt.msc.
    2 unknown devices would be listed as such and plotted with a yellow question mark.
    3. Select the unknown device or any other device you need of drivers and right-click to access the properties.
    4. in the Properties window, click the Details tab and select Device Instance of Id or hardware ID from the drop-down.
    5. an alphanumeric string, like this DEV_7130 & PCI\VEN_1217 & SUBSYS_012F1025 & REV_01\4 & 6B16D5B & 0 & 33F0 is the marker for the identification of the unit.
    6. Please provide this number so we can offer you the appropriate driver.

    Here is the link to the lightscribe software:

  • No input signal after installing new hard drive

    SUP guys, im need help, my hard drive on my computer has stopped working, I'd get an important flasher hits and it looks like it please insert a disk and when I did a diagnosis, I had hard drive errors I went and bought a new one.

    In order to take the old one out I had to remove the cables from the hard drive, the big white thing that plugs into the motherboard, the processor fan and cable.

    I put in new hard drive, put everything back as it should and when I boot it all im getting are no signal input on my screen, I have tried on 3 different screens and got the same thing.

    Here are some pictures of the inside of my computer:

    If you notice the VGA thing on the 2nd picture, should no more added to it? I mean in addition to plug the cable from the monitor, I have the impression that there should be something added to the back of it, I just noticed now, the computer and the screen worked perfectly before.

    It's a HP model number is a6655f, it came with vista, but after putting in the new HD, I intend to put windows 7, I have a copy of it.

    I guess with the new hard drive and I am I was right assuming that you have already installed windows 7

    Sounds like you need drivers for the drive, and sounds like a simple problem, download drivers and install I believe that when you install windows 7, it offers you the possibility of drivers installed.

    Oh and you could try to change SATA to IDE in the BIOS and see if that helps

  • Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

    I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
    If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

    How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

    In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

    The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

    NTLDR
    Boot.ini
    NTDETECT.COM
    Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

    Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

    When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

    Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...

  • No sound after installing new hard drive

    I recently installed a new hard drive for windows XP and I installed all the updates of windows updates. I plugged in an Altec speaker system exactly as I did before, but I can't not all sounds.

    When I click on "Sounds and Audio devices" in the Control Panel, I see "No Audio device".

    I tried all the troubleshooting options. I think I need to download new audio drivers, but I can't figure out how to do this.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated!

    There could be a possibility that you may still need to download additional software.
     
    Perhaps, your motherboard has audio drivers available at their homesite or perhaps your sound card as well.
     
    However, if you have a brand system / pc, and then click on his homesite and look for the model number for the available downloads and updates.

  • Installed new hard drive on laptop with Windows 7 can install Windows XP on external hard drive and plug it into USB?

    Original title: Win7 Pro + HD Ext different OS
    I just installed a new hard drive in my laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
    Would it not be possible to install WIn XP or Win 98 + older software (Win 98 or XP) on an external hard drive, then plug it into USB, laptop, in order to run old programs of 16-32 bit?

    It would be best to run Windows 98 or XP in a Virtual Machine, if you need to run older programs.

    You can use a free software such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMware Player:
