Nx 6310 250 GB sata replacement hard drive failed three times.

Replaced 60 GB OG. hard drive with a 250 GB. sata drive. Drive worked fine for 6 months and died. Replaced under a warranty at no charge new one lasted about 8 months and died last one lasted 3 months and is now dead. I read in the hp nx6310 info that 120 GB  is the largest sata drive. Is that because that was the largest drive of the day or is it possable i'm over heating the larger drives ? nx6310 win xp pro 250 GB. 5400 rpm sata HDD. 1gig mem.

Take a look at the drive that they give you and see if they say recertified.  Are you still under warrantee?

    Sorry we are unclear as to the external hard drive and its connection to the TC..
    For instance the light that blinks.. is that the TC or external hard disk or what.
    Did you try just rebooting / restart the whole network in correct order.. modem.. router / TC.. external drive.. clients with 2min gap between each.
    Are you actually running Snow Leopard as the profile states?
    How old is the TC?

  • Replaced hard drive - problems with time machine

    My hard drive failed and I have had a new one fitted by Stomfront but now need to replace all the data.  They recomended putting Mavricks on the new drive and that was put on the new hard disk but the time machine back up has Yosemite.  Seems to cause all sorts of problems.
    I cannot seem to get iPhoto or the photos that were in iPhoto back.  The same with iMovies.
    The Mac is a 27 inch late 2009 with 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 12 GB Ram running OS x 10.9.5

  • Hard Drive failed now time capsule connecting to backup volume for hours

    My main hard drive went bad. I had a spare in my machine. I installed osx on the spare and then migrated all of my data from my time capsule (which had worked like a champ). I am now running fine again and I have all my files, music, apps, everything I had before my hard drive went bad. Now the only problem I have is when I try to connect to time capsule now, there is a little window which reads "connecting to backup volume". It has been this way for hours and I suspect there is something amiss. If it were simply preparing and looking to see what has changed, it would have connected. Can anyone help me out on this problem? I would truly appreciate it.

    John,
    *Reboot Time Capsule*
    Unplug the TC from the wall outlet.
    Wait 10-15 seconds.
    Re-plug it in again.
    After it has restarted (30-60 seconds), does it show up in Airport Utilities?
    If not try "Rescan" again from the File Menu.
    Next, if you want to continue using the TC for Time Machine backups do the following:
    *Reselect Your Time Machine Disk*
    Go to System Preferences --> Time Machine.
    Use the slider on the left to turn “OFF” Time Machine.
    Click the "Change Disk..." button.
    Select "None" and click "Stop Backing Up".
    Now click "Choose Backup Disk" and reselect your backup hard disk again.
    Now use the slider on the left to turn “ON” Time Machine.
    Close System Preferences and try backing up again.
    *Full Backup After Full Restore*
    Bear in mind that in all cases Time Machine will perform a full backup after a full restore. This is normal. Time Machine will resume incremental backups after the full backup has completed. To view previous backups, Control-click or right-click the Time Machine icon in your Dock or Option-click the Time Machine menu extra and Choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks," then select your previous backup volume. You will enter Time Machine and be able to browse your previous back ups and restore files. (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338)
    So even on unchanged hardware, if you reinstall your system software and restore your user data, Time Machine starts anew, and you will not be able to resume backing up with the same history as the previous backups.
    While there may be ways to fool/hack Time Machine into recognizing previous backups without performing another full backup, they are likely rather elaborate.
    Ultimately, though, in a couple of months, all the effort to preserve old backups may seem pointless. After all, Time Machine will eventually purge away that data anyways as it replaces it with new files.
    It may simply be easier to begin a fresh series of backups while saving the previous backups until your satisfied that you have enough history built up. Then delete the old backups.
    Let us know if the above helped.
    Cheers!

  • My iMac G5 cannot detect my Seagate 160GB SATA II hard drive

    Hi,
    My mac is iMac G5 1.6G 17 inch with no iSight.
    Recently i buy a new Seagate 160GB SATT II(ST3160812AS) and try to replace with my old internal hard drive.
    First i use the SuperDupe! software to clone with my old HD.It works fine and can be read the data via a external SATA box.
    Then i shut down the Power and follow the instruction provied on the Apple web site to replace the HD.
    After i replace the HD and power on the mac, the display only show a gray backgrounp and the apple mark does not show up!
    I recheck the install and the data/power cable is well and connected.
    I use the Mac OS X install CD to run the disk utility and i found the cd-rom is the only device it found!
    I try to reset the PRAM and NVRAM, the problem still exists.
    I sent back the HD to the store for fix and they said the HD works fine on a PC!
    So, is there anything i missed to replace the new HD or the iMac just does not support a SATA II hard drive?
    Thanks a lot
    iMac G5 1.6G 17 inch Mac OS X (10.4.4) the new HD is Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 160G
    iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

    So that I get this right, you cloned the internal OS X drive onto an external FW-SATA HDD using SuperDuper! ?
    There sounds like an issue that the iMac doesn't recognise the SATA II drive for some reason - would've thought it should do.
    A quick trawl through the knowledge base should reference any info that the iMac only supports SATA I for your revision, which I'm guessing is A.
    Just checked - as you should/could have - the iMac you have only accepts PATA drives. So you'll need to exchange or buy an ATA 6 HDD for your iMac to work, without booting from the external drive.

  • Replacing hard drive and system recovery

    I have a HDX 16 1155CA laptop running Windows 7 ultimate (upgraded from the pre-installed Vista). I recently dicovered a bad sector or several bad sectors on my hard drive using many diagnistics tools. SMART info indicates 3 pending sectors. Also,the hard drive failed the self test under BIOS self diagnostics. As my computer may be facing imminent hard drive failure, I'd like to replace the hard drive. Are there any HHDs with larger storage space and higer RPM compatable with this laptop? Also, i can't create a second set of recovery disks containg my current system and settings, how would I be able to recover my system/data and how should I back up all my current files?
    Thanks.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi:
    You can use the Windows 7 backup and recovery system to make a ghost image of your current hard drive contents onto a portable hard drive.  You will also have to make a boot CD which it will give you the option of doing, to access the recovery files, and reinstall your current configuration.
    However, if I were you, I would back up any files, music and photos separately that I didn't want to lose, just in case the reinstallation fails.
    While HP doesn't show any upgrades for your hard drive, I would imagine you would be safe installing up to a 640 GB 7200 RPM SATA drive. It is a modern enough PC.
    You may also want to be on the safe side, and order a set of recovery disks for your notebook. They will be for Vista, but you can then go ahead and install W7 again.  A set of recovery disks normally costs around $16.00.
    Here is the link to your notebook's support page.  Under the "Alerts for this Product" section, you can click on the blue link that states "How to Order Recovery Disks"

    Here are answers to your question.
    1) You can upgrade to 500GB and its possbile without any problems
    2) No constraints on size or make. You can use any brand or manufacturer of your own choice
    3) You need to install your OS using recovery disks. There is a guide available over here
    4) There will not be any problems if you using recovery disks on new HDD
    5) There wont be any conflict. If you do face any issues, you can always post your query on the forums.
    6) Unfortunately there is no other way. If the HDD test fails, it means its gone. Only option is to replace HDD.

  • HOW TO REPLACE HARD DRIVE WHITE MACBOOK EARLY 2009

    I have a White MacBook Early 2009, I need suggestions. My Macbook is still running fine, but would like to know which Hard Drive I should purchase as replacement. Thinking of going 500GB if possible, I already downloaded the instructions. Just trying to get my ducks in order for when that time comes, hopefully not for a few more years.

    For a new hard drive try Newegg.com

    Here are instructions on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
    To transfer your current hard drive I like the applications Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. They make a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive. http://www.bombich.com/index.html or http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html 
      You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.

    You're welcome, Tim.
    What operating system are you installing on the machine?
    The specs state it shipped with W7 Basic.  That OS should load without issues.
    If you are trying to install XP, it will not install unless you load the SATA ACHI drivers either at the F6 prompt or you need to slipstream them into a copy of your XP installation.
    If you are attempting to install XP, please read this link below and that should solve that issue.
    Your notebook has the Intel NM10 Express Chipset.

  • Need help with replacement hard drive

    My hard drive has stopped working on this computer and since i only purchased it on 10/2012 I really don't want to replace it just yet.  I am trying to buy a new hard drive but I would like a Seagate.  I want to upgrade from  1 TB to 2TB.  I was wondering if there is a Seagate product out there that would be compatable with the original hard drive but in 2 TB.The original hard drive is a HDD GNRC 1 TB SATA 3 ECO 7200 rpm 3.5".  I was looking at a Seagate 2TB SATA 6.0 but I do not know is the SATA 6 will work with the original SATA 3.  Can you please help me or guide me in the right direction for a replacement.  I also have the HP recovery CD's coming to me in the mail.Thanks,GinaCee 

    Hi Big_Dave,Thank you for your help.  I found this hard drive at Newegg and I was hoping you could tell me if it would be compatable.Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive.   Or is there any Seagate product you could reccomend? I have a Seagate external hard drive and I like thier product, so I was hoping that they made something compatable for my HP.  I will be installing this drive myself.  I have all the instructions from the HP website and it doesn't look that difficult.  Just waiting for my restore CD's and a replacement hard drive so I can start this project.   Thanks again!Gina 

  • Question about replacing hard drive

    Hey everyone. I had a question about replacing a hard drive for a 2012 midyear pro. I have replaced hard drives before on windows machines, but this is the first mac I have owned. It didn't come with a hard drive when I bought it, but I do have mavericks installed on a usb. As far as a new hard drive, will any 2.5 laptop hard drive work? I read it needs to be 9.5mm thick. Is that correct? As far as I am concerned, hardware is hardware and should be the same as replacing a hard drive on a dell laptop but wanted to see if apple has any weird restrictions.
    Also, is there anything I need to consider or be aware of when putting in a new hard drive? Or can I just hook up the hard drive and plug in the USB and install the software onto the hard drive. Thanks
    Excuse and ny ignorance as I am new to macs.

    Yes.  Any SATA drive will do with those specifications.
    Also, is there anything I need to consider or be aware of when putting in a new hard drive? Or can I just hook up the hard drive and plug in the USB and install the software onto the hard drive.
    Assuming that the installer is functioning correctly, install the HDD in the MBP and engage the installer.  You should come across a 4 option menu.  Select Disk Utility from it.  Open Disk Utility>Erase and format the HDD to Mac OS Extended (Journlaled).  One you finish that, you may install the OSX.
    Ciao.

  • I am having trouble finding a replacement hard drive

    Evidently I blew my hard drive when I installed a web cam.  Now I can't seem to find a replacement hard drive for my z61t through Lenovo online or phone service.  Does anyone have any tips on where I can find a replacement?  I'm so discouraged -- I should have bought a warranty but thought they should guarantee it longer than 1 year so on principle I held out.  Now I am 2 months past warranty and this is where my principles got me!!!  I am a fifty-something technophobe -- can any of you youngsters help me?!?!

    I'm interested to hear how Fishbert is doing with cable replacement…
    So far, so good.
    One of the symptoms of this issue is an incrementing of the drive's CRC error count.* Back on the 28th (right after doing the cable replacement), S.M.A.R.T. Utility told me my CRC error count was at 6322. From early July when I upgraded to EFI 1.7, until the rollback tool was released (in August?), this was how high the counter had climbed… plus a bit from testing back-and-forth when PU1.0 showed up.
    Anyway, 6322 was the count on 11/28/09. A bit ago, it read 6324 (12/05/09). I don't know where those 2 extra came from over the last week, and I'm going to continue checking in on it, but 2 is a far cry from the 6000 or so over a month, maybe a month and a half. And as for user experience, I haven't seen any of the freezing typical from this issue, either.
    * Again, there seems to be more than 1 issue that people have come in here with, but CRC errors was identified fairly early on as a characteristic of this issue, and is one I definitely saw on my machine, so I use it here to illustrate the difference I see.
    it seems like only solution is changing the SATA-cable, the problem; it's out of stock at third party vendors. (hot Christmas gift, everyone is buying it), Fishbert how is it holding? give us an update.

  • Can i install sata III hard drive?

    Hi, i've an iMac G5 20" iSight with an intel core duo 2ghz. I would like to know if  i can install a sata III hard drive like 128GB Crucial m4 2.5" SSD.
    Thx a lot.

    First, you do not have an iMac G5. G5s are PPC machines, but yours is an Intel model.
    You can install a SATA III drive but I would not spend the money since your model only supports SATA I or SATA II depending on which model you have. I would also be careful about using Crucial SSDs because they may not all work in a Mac. I would get your SSD at OWC instead. You will find their equivalent product for SATA I or SATA II here. I have two of these drives, and they are excellent.

Maybe you are looking for
