Any method to use a Samsung 160GB IDE HDD to replace original 60GB HDD in zt3030AP Notebook

Hi,
Anyone know if BIOS version F.55 supports HDD > 137GB?
I want to use Samsung 160GB IDE HDD to replace the original 60GB HDD that has bad sectors?
Any method like BIOS upgrade or must find a 120GB HDD?
Many thanks,
Kenny

trancinchino, you shouldn't encounter any issues in regards to replacing the harddrive in a iMac with a SSD. I believe the issues are the older models such as the 2009. But, be aware that you will need specific tools in order to replace the harddrive because it includes removing the glass panel and the LCD. iFixit's website instructions. http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iMac_Intel_21.5%22_EMC_2428

  • T42 - BIOS does not recognize new Samsung 160GB harddrive (HM160HC)

    Hi all,
    I am trying to upgrade from the original Toshiba 40GB IDE harddrive to a new samsung 160gb IDE harddrive (HM160HC). The drive is marketed as being compatible with the Thinkpad line. I took an image of my original harddrive using WinPE, then popped in the new harddrive hoping I could just copy the old image over. I didn't realize that the laptop did not detect the harddrive, so when i did a fresh partition and format of  "drive 0" it actually wiped out my external harddrive which contained the old image and all my backups (oops). Anywho, that's not a big deal because I was able to recover all the files using GetDataBack, but I still can't figure out why the BIOS is not seeing the new harddrive. Here is what I have tried so far:
    1) I removed the new harddrive from the laptop and hooked it up to a USB enclosue. I then plugged that into another laptop running XP and was able to use the XP disk management tool to partition and NTFS format the drive just fine. I created some test files and folders on it and everything works fine so I know the drive is good.
    2) I put the new harddrive back into the laptop hoping it might get recognized after having been formatted and partitioned, but no luck.
    3) I put the old harddrive back into the laptop just to make sure the BIOS still recognized that one, and it did. So I know the laptop is still fine.
    4) I upgraded the BIOS from 3.14 to 3.23 just to make sure it wasn't some old BIOS limitation on hardrive size. The BIOS upgraded successfully, but still no luck detecting the harddrive.
    5) I set the new harddrive jumpers to cable-select instead of master. Still no luck.
    So as far as I can tell I have no problems with the laptop (since it works fine with the old harddrive), and no problems with the new harddrive (since it works fine externally), but I just can't get the BIOS to recognize it internally so that I can copy the image over and boot from it.  Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Rodrick

    I'm a bit confused with your statement regarding the placement of the screw holes on the Samsung HDD, since I've used many of these drives and have never noticed anything of a kind.
    The verdict here is that the Samsung drive is likely defective. Try returning it for a refund or replacement.
    Good luck.

  • On the Mac Pro Desktop can you use a Samsung smart tv as the main and only monitor? Is there any reason one would not do that with a wireless keyboard?

    I have not purchased the Mac Pro yet when I do my thought is to use our Samsung 55" Smart tv as the main monitor along with a bluetooth apple keyboard. Any suggestions would be appreciated

    A TV set is not a Monitor.
    A TV set is intended for displaying moving pictures, and not stable, static pictures, with bright, saturated colors in adjacent areas on the screen without "bleeding", fine lines one pixel wide without vibration, or smooth-edged diagonals in fine text edges.
    The 55" width is beyond your ability to see the screen edges when sitting close. If you sit appropriately far away, the text will be too small to read.
    The Mac requires that any display respond to a query including display_name and capabilities. Many TV sets have a problem "paying attention" to the computer port and responding when queried, so the screen may often remain dark at startup and after sleep, requiring your intervention to show a picture.

  • Is there any way to use Samsung Gear S watch without syncing email/ calendar from my phone?

    I recently bought a Samsung Gear S watch and got a phone line for it - for personal use. I have an office/ work mobile phone that is Samsung S5.
    I read I must use a Samsung phone to download or activate/ use the Gear S watch - so I downloaded the Gear Manager on my work phone and setup the Gear S watch through my office phone ...
    Does anyone know
    1. If it is possible to use Gear S as standalone device without connecting it with phone at all?
    2. If I must use a phone - can I setup a different email account for Gear S watch than the email account setup in my office phone?
    3. If I must use a phone - can I setup a different calendar (called Schedule in Gear S) for Gear S watch than the calendar account setup in my office phone?
    Any good article/ site for using Gear S  effectively?
    Thanks in advance to all those who may contribute to my discussion/ question.
    Sincerely,
    Amit.

    Yesterday I changed my email password on my home computer.  Today, I can't get any new emails on my Samsung Galaxy 4; I deleted the email account entirely and tried to set it up again as a new account, using the new password, but it keeps giving me an error message that reads: Cannot safely connect to server.  The new password is working on my home computer.  I even tried the old password; it just gave me the same error message.

    I'm sorry you're having issues with your e-mail account on your phone Rusty1112. Let's figure out what's going on. First, please try deleting account/information again and then restart phone. When phone is back on, try adding e-mail account again, and be sure you're entering exactly as you set up, meaning its case-sensitive. If you're still getting same error, please let us know and let us know what e-mail account it is, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.

  • I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

    I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down  command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
    Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

    Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
    You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

  • How can I use my Samsung 193p as a second monitor?

    I am trying to use my Samsung 193P Monitor as my second monitor. It usually has great contrast and good color when attached to my PC. I plugged it into my imac using a DVI to mini DVI adaptor I bought at the apple store. Now it has awful color and the whites are a muddy grey. There do not seem to be any drivers to download. I've called Samsung and Apple and they have no ideas. It is at 1280x1024. Does anyone have any ideas for me? Is there a way to get the monitor communicating with my imac?? Thanks.

    Thank you for the suggestions. I tried again. The thing about the Samsung 193P is that it doesn't have any external "buttons" to push for contrast and brightness. You are supposed to use MagicTune to do this, but of course, that is not compatible with mac. Without any adjustments, it usually looks great on a PC. Do you think I could use my Spyder to calibrate it with the mac? Could I only calibrate the 2nd monitor? I don't want to adjust the new mac monitor in any way. Would that be an option?

  • Having trouble using a Samsung LCD HDTV with my new mac mini...help?!

    I have a brand new mac mini running snow leopard. I am trying to use a samsung HDTV (1080i). I've got the display connected and it is working but the font on the windows is not very crisp at all...it is actually hard to read. I've adjusted the resolution in my settings to all the different options. When I use the 720p option the font gets a little better but the windows are HUGE, when I use 1080i the windows shrink to the correct size but the font gets worse. Anyone have any ideas?

    Be sure to designate the HDMI input on the Samsung TV as a 'computer' source. This seems to help how it presents the image on the TV. The other thing to adjust is the font smoothing settings, via System Preferences > Appearance.

    Alternatively you could use OLE2 to do the bulk of the importing and exporting and then use the webutil file transfer functions to move the file to the client and then simply open the file there...That might be more efficient in terms of performance as well.

  • Samsung IDE HDD shows less than total capacity

    Hi Everyone,
    It's been over a year without any major issues with my PB which is nearly 5 yrs old. However, recently I bought a Samsung (Model: HM160HC) 160GB IDE Hard Disk for back-up. Funnily, it showed me a total capacity of 128GB when I connected it through a External FW Enclosure. This is what it showed me on Disk Utility application before I could format the drive.
    The vendor took the drive back, formatted it on a windows machine and gave it back to me where it showed me 160GB total capacity. But when I formatted it (Mac OS Extended, Journaled) though Disk Utility, it once again showed me a total capacity of 128GB and an available space of appx 127GB.
    What am I missing here? Need some help very badly, very soon...
    MP

    Hello eww,
    Thanks a ton for your reply. Unfortunately I have two FW Enclosures with identical Chipset and both show 128GB available space. And I will not be able to figure this one out, till I lay my hands on another FW or USB enclosure.
    Having said that, when I put the Samsung HDD in the very same FW enclosure which I have after the hard disk came to me MS-Dos formatted, it did show 160GB. I have 2 questions now:
    1. How can the same Firweire casing with the same drive inside which is wondows/MS-Dos formatted (on a windows machine) recognize full capacity of 160Gb and when I do a Mac OS Extended-Journaled formatting to the same drive inside the same casing the capacity shown is 128GB?
    2. If I decide to put the same Samsung HDD inside my laptop, boot from my external back-up drive, format the internal, will it show full capacity?
    Looking forward to a workable solution...

    If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast.  If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used.  The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID .  Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network.  A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default.  Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in.  HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you.  You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files.  Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.

    Not sure this will work but if you go into the Keyboard preferences, then click the Keyboad Shortcuts tab, and then the '+', you can add your own shortcuts for any application.  I am not sure what happens if you try to override an existing shortcut since I haven't tried using this.

    Probably against my better judgement I'll also throw this out there - there's an Unsanity haxie called Menumaster which might also allow you to do what you want.  Against my better judgement because personally I stay clear of haxies.  It's (all haxies) probably almost certain to break in Lion.  They always do with each major release.
