500GB HDD in SPLIT 13-M100EIA Model
Hi,
I hope this is the appropriate place to ask this...
I am about to purchase a Split X2 but before I do, I want to know if:
1. A 500GB HDD can be installed inside the base of the SPLIT 13-M100EIA X2.
2. If I can upgrade the RAM from 4GB to 8GB
Thanks.
Link to the system in particular is

Hello Dean / Huffer, thanks for the reply
About the Service manual, I just wanted to be 100% certain
that it also applies to the 13-M100EIA model, cause
it looks more like a generic manual for all 13-M*** models
rather than being model specific.
2. "Why not just order it directly"? Well finance
I live in an EMEA region,
Customizing directly from HP would cost US$1,300
Shipping to my country would cost me about US$425
Total = US$ 1,745
Buying the basic offering locally costs about $970
Upgrade about US$150-200
Total = US$1120-1170. Makes more sense, dont you agree?
Besides should there be a problem in the future,
HP service and support would not even touch it, if it were purchased outside the region.

Other type split X2 I've seen that there is a hard disk.
My Notebook has no hard disk type
Is there any space to install?
Please advise for me~!Hi @Parkjh
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
In answer to your question, here are the product specifications of your notebook:
HP Split 13-g210dx x2 PC Product Specifications
From that you can see that you currently should have a 128GB SSD installed.

I have an Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it. The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network. This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an additional antennae? If so, which one because my research is confusing me about what is supposed to work with this computer.
Please check out the following Apple Support article to see if your particular Power Mac model supports an external Wi-Fi antenna.

I want to clone my existing original equipment 500GB HDD to a new 1TB replacement HDD. How to?
G'Day,
I'm gettin too big for my old 500GB HDD, so I bought a new 1TB HDD.
Now, I have the set of rescue disks I made when I first fired up my Compaq Presario CQ57-105TU Laptop. I could use them & fresh install all the original computer software & OS, but then I would have to start from scratch & re-install all the software I have installed, besides redoing all the tweaks & modifications I 've made to the Windows 7 OS since day one---over a year ago.
Really not how I want to spend the next week or two +/-.
I'd like to clone the orig. 500GB HDD & all its contents to a new 1TB HDD.
Sounds like where I want to go, but for 1 small issue. I've been told that if I do just that I will have about 500gb of new available space, but I was also told I won't be able to create any new drive partitions on the new HDD because of some way the existing partitions on the original HDD are created.
1. Is that true?
2. If not, where can I find a failsafe procedure for accomplishing the clone, & then creating 2 new partitions to cover the free space on the new drive.
3. If so, is there a work around? If there is what is the procedure (plse don't give me brain cramps with techno lingo..tnx)
Some additional information that might be important.
At present my HDD has this configuration:
Now that ( Q ) Local Disk Is diferent. It shows 0 bytes available & 0 bytes Used, & I dont have access to it.
My wife's computer...a different Laptop model CQ62... also has the same drive,
but hers is labeled as Microsoft Office 2010 Starter...also 0 bytes available & used---also no access to it, & like below, not showing in Dmgt.
This drive does not show up in my DISK MANAGEMENT Configuration: http://i.imgur.com/r4LPrDa.jpg
Thanks for your time & consideration.....Bobby

This question was solved.
View Solution.Ok....it is done!!
I used my friends HDD CLONING DOCKING STATION exactly like this one, but he purchased it 2 years ago from a different seller.
All I did was take my Original 500GB Drive & placed it into slot A (the front slot - Master) & I placed the new Toshiba 1TB Drive into slot B (the second slot behind Slot A..the middle - Slave). I turned the power on the Box. I waited till the drives spun up & were ready, & then all I did was press the red button on the Box...
The 25% light started flashing & the cloning began....
About 40 minutes later the 50% light started flashing & the 25% light stayed steady.
This meant that 25% of the process was done, & it was proceeding to 50%. \
This sequence continued until eventually all the lights were on steady (25% thru 100%) which meant the clone was complete.
I estimate it took about 2 hours & 15 minutes to clone completely.
I shut down the Box by turning off the power. I then removed both drives.
I carefully installed the new drive into the notebook computer, & reinserted the battery, & I plugged in the notebook's power supply/charger/adapter.
I then crossed my fingers & hit the notebook's power button.
Within seconds my notebook was booting up as always. I just had to check to make sure I really did install the new drive...& yes the one on the desk was the original, which definitely meant that the drive booting my notebook was indeed the new drive I just cloned to.
My notebook booted flawlessly!! without a hitch. Exactly as it always had.
I used My Computer Management Administrative tool--Disk Management & made a simple volume for the 450+ GB of free space, assigning the next available drive letter -- in my case Drive (F) & I named it as well.
Everything worked perfectly, I can read & write to the new partition/volume. As I noted earlier, I probably wont be able to boot from anything but my (C) Drive, but that's fine for me.
So, what did I learn?
Well, firstly, my Compaq Presario CQ57-105TU can upgrade to 1TB of HDD without any modifications.
Using the Cloning method I did definitely saved me at least 1 full weeks of re-installation work if I chose the Fresh install method using the Backup/Rescue Disks I created when the computer first was started way back when.
Outside of the 2+ hours of time it took to clone the drive, the 15 +/- minutes to originally remove & reinstall the drive, & the time it took to assign the new free space a drive letter (all of 5-10 minutes) the procedure was a clear cut simple one, which I know could have been done otherwise, but not as simply as the method I chose.
Pepe, thank you very much for the time you spent researching my questions & responding to my post.
I'm so glad all your fears & roadblocks were not realized, & in the end it was possible to accomplish the task contrary to our initial concerns---matter in factly with the greatest of ease.
Here are some pics of the Clone Station (the Box) exactly like the one I used:
Cheers to all,

I want to upgrade the 500gb HDD to an SSD on an S230u with windows 8 but want clone the drive
I want to upgrade the 500gb HDD to an SSD on an Thinkpad Twist S230u with windows 8 but don't want to lose the data and programs installed on the drive and have to start over. I tried to clone it but no software could do it. I tried acronis and EasyToDo. I was able to clone it with a duplicator but it wasn't bootable. Am I to assume that what I need to do is the following - 1- Create the recovery media on a 32gb usb stick. 2- back up the drive using Acronis (or other) 3- Physically replace the drive 4- boot to the USB Recovery Media and bring the system back to it's original state out of the box but with the SSD Drive. 5- Use Acronis (or other) to restore back up made of the 500gb prior to removal. Thanks in advance! Scott Fischer
Before you start cloning your HDD with acronis, you have to prepare the SSD:
at first: connect your SSD with USB to your notebook and
1. Start CMD.EXE as Admin
2. type: "diskpart"
3. type: "select disk x " x = Letter of your SSD
4. type: "list partition" the drive should be unformatted
5. type: "create partition primary align=1024"
6. type: "active"
7. type: "format fs=ntfs" --> wait some minutes
8. type: "assign letter=x" --> For example "x"
9. type: "exit"
Start acronis true image 2013 (trial version)
select "Backup" without empty sectors
you can select any partitions, so also the the invisible lenovo backup paritions
The Backup can be "Restore"-d to the SSD, incl. GPT (MBR like in UEFI Systems)
After all, the SSD is ready to use. Booting on USB gives here a blue screen. I tought it was my fault. It isnt. You can build in the SSD into your SATA Port and Windows 8 will boot very well.

I have recently purchased a hybred 750GbHDD as an upgrade for my MAC Book Pro (Intell Version) I have a boot camp partition to the original 500GB HDD. How can I expand both partitions to fit the new drive?
I have tried bootcamp and have had no luck due to the fact that boot camp doesn't see the additional HDD space of 250Gb. What am I not doing?Ouch, well there is a problem.
This is the stack of partitions on your old drive
EFI (hidden)
Lion (50GB say)
Bootcamp (50GB say)
Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
This is the same stack on your new drive imaged from the old one.
EFI (hidden)
Lion (50GB say)
Bootcamp (50GB say)
Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
Emtpy Space (100GB say)
This is what you want
EFI (hidden)
Lion (100GB say)
Bootcamp (100GB say)
Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
EFI has to be at the top of the drive and Lion Recovery has to be at the bottom of the drive.
And you only have four partitions.
You can't move the Lion Recovery Partition or Bootcamp partiton, however you can expand the Lion Partition into empty space below it. (but can't delete or move the Lion Recovery partition)
Your Duplicator duplicated perfectly, too perfectly Likely would work with same sized drives/partitions.
This is what your going to need to do.
You need to move the Bootcamp partition to a blank external drive using WinClone and disconnect. This is so you have two backups of it. (one on your old 500GB drive)
You will need a drive enclousre or IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable for the older 500GB drive and option key boot from it. (some enclosures can't be booted from so check first Other World Computing is good place to ask)
Download the free Carbon Copy Cloner, grab any new files off the new 750GB internal drive to the old 500GB your booted from.
Open Apple's Disk Utility and Erase with Zero option the entire internal 750GB drive and let it rip, this will map off as many bad sectors and improve reliability.
Now use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the 500GB Lion + Lion Recovery Partitions to the internal 750GB, it will "fix" things and place Lion Recovery at the bottom of the drive where it belongs, give all the extra space to OS X Lion.
Next your going to have to follow WinClones instructions to restore your Bootcamp, likely you will have to recreate the Bootcamp partition first (in Bootcamp) to the size you want and then clone. Likely Winclone may "fix" Windows to recognize it's in a new larger partition now. I don't know you'll have to check as I haven't used it.
When Bootcamp creates the partition it will place it near the bottom next to the Lion Recovery Partition.
As you know you will have to re-validate Windows with Lord Redmond or it expires as you changed the hardware. -
iMac 500GB HDD occupied by 499.25 GB "other" files while all other types of files show "0 KB", what gives?
I've tried cleaning up the HDD from HD tool twice and pressed command-option-P-R while restarting the Mac afterwards. The avaliable HDD space "improved" from 1.3 MB to 121 MB after the first restart and descresed down to 119MB after the second restart. I have kept very little AV files as well as doucment files. My application programs are just several GB. Is this a system problem. Do I have to reinstall the system?
Much appreciate any advice!!

500GB HDD for White 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo?
My current HDD is a 120GB FUJITSU MHW2120BH and I desperately need to upgrade the HDD. I would like to use a 500GB and have found this Seagate http://thurly.net/7wq which I believe should fit but would like to know if will or if there is a better 500GB HDD to use?
Thanks.Thanks for that.
The XT500 Hybrid is twice the price of the other HDD so I'm not sure paying the extra will be worth it.
Guess I will just have to see how I feel when ready to order. -
What is the best 500GB HDD for a 2007 macbook pro
what is the best 500GB HDD for a 2007 macbook pro. This is a pre unibody machine.
I am upgrading at the minute and can't make my mind up. I need a 7200rpm drive, but have heard some stories concerning overheating etc.
These are the drives I am looking at: Seagate Momentus, Hitachi Travelstar and Western Digital all 500GB, running at 7200rpm.If you haven't already, you might look a the user comments at http://www.newegg.com on those hard drives. If you don't get other comments here, you might post in the MBP discussion (this is the iMac discussion) at https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro

Hey guys. I have a x220 with a 320GB HDD, I want to upgrade to a 500GB HDD but I don't want to manually reinstall everything.
I've got 3 partitions:
1. Local Disk(*) (looks like some system partition or something, 1.1GB, with 348MB used)
2. C: (the main partition) (281GB)
3. Lenovo recovery Q: (15,6GB)
What I want to accomplish is that after the upgrade, the C: partition would extend to the amount of new space available.
I have, at my disposal, a desktop PC where I can connect both the new and the old HDD to perform the cloning. Now all I need is to know how to do that.
Solved!
Go to Solution.KirillM,
I don't know about Clonizilla' capabilities as I used Acronis s/w which can clone the drives with different size. All you need in that case is to select manual mode for partitions resizing (instead of auto i.e.proportional mode). Then select System_DRV and Lenovo_Recovery partitions and leave their size as original. All remaining drive space will be occupied by partition C:.

USB External HDD Enclosure with a 500GB HDD!!
Hi All,
I was just wondering if anyone has come across using a 3rd party USB external HDD enclosure with a hard drive (mine is 500GB HDD). What I am trying to do is to format the HDD so both PC and MAC can use it but it will be mainly connected to my iMAC. I have tried by using PC to format the HDD to NTFS but MAC will not show the HDD on the desktop when I plug the USB to the back of the iMAC.
I have done some researches and it seems the only way to do make this possibe is to format it into FAT32. So I have tried to use FDisk to make the partition but it doesn't seems to support anything bigger than 120GB, now I am really stuck. If anyone knows any quick and painless solution, please spare me some advice.
Headache!!
Dave
iMAC 20" Core2 Duo 2.16 1GB Mac OS X (10.4.9) Mac OS X (10.4.9)Windows can use, but not format, large FAT32 partitions. Microsoft wants to discourage using FAT32 for portable storage (for marketing reasons).
The solution is to use Mac's Disk Utility to format the disk as FAT32 (misnamed MS-DOS in Disk Utility). The disk will then be read/write by both Mac and PC.
Also, it's worth pointing out that you can read and write NTFS disks using MacFUSE with the NTFS-3G plugin. Albeit, this is very awkward to do unless you've got some UNIX shell experience. -
My iMac ( Summer 2010 ) internal Hard Drive failing.. It's a Seagate 500GB HDD.
My new iMac ( summer 2010 - July 2010 ) internal Hard Drive is failing..
1) sometimes the imac can't see the hard drive to boot from..
it would stay in the grey screen ..
2) sometimes the imac boots up after a cold start.
but some applications such as Safari would die or crash on me.
I think the file system on the mac is corrupted.
I believe that the internal hard drive is failing..
I can boot up from the external firewire 800 hard drives fine..
The internal hard drive:
Model: ST3500418AS
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 SATA 3Gb/s 500GB Hard DriveWhy not starting from the external HDD, and then do a "Repair Disk" of the Seagate.
If that does not help buy a new HDD, put it in and clone the latest external disk to it :
When you have two external disks, make a clone of the Seagate on the one that does not have the latest backup, because the Seagate may fail while doing the cloning. Use Carbon Copy Cloner or Superduper. -

I have replaced the drive but when I start the machine pressing the C key, it hangs with the apple and the spinner spinning.
Thaks.
José Luiz RiveraAt some point it will ask you to select a WiFi network name, if you have WiFi, and the password for it or you can Wire the Mac to your internet router with an Ethernet cable.
If you have no internet access at all you are, what they call, SOL. You'll need to get an internet connection to reinstall OS X.
