hi tryagain,
-for your first problem (hdd size) try a 160gb drive, this should work (your current drive is a 60gb?) but also 320gb should work
in my expirience i found if a 60gb hdd runs on a controller a bigger one also works...
-for the second (win install) you can avoid activating windows again by cloning your system to the new harddrive
there are free clone tools available that you can use
-for the last one (manuals for old Toshibas ) there is a point "archive" to choose in download area where the "real old" user manuals can be downloaded,
but i think you are searching for further information to disasemble your machine - i cant find anything like that also...
but hey! no warranty - no cry.... for your 430 ;-)

Can I take the drive out of my old Mac Pro and pop it into the new one, to save transferrig everything across?

It's a crap shoot. It probably won't work (different hardware). But it shouldn't hurt to try. Don't know what Linc is thinking about it not being "advisable". If it doesn't boot, or hangs with a gray screen, or hangs attempting to login, then you will know.
But you could boot in your new machine's boot drive and use migration assistant to move stuff from the old to the new.

I put my sim card into a new iphone and tried to change it back to the old one and now the phone is locked. It's asking for a passcode and I didn't have a passcode set up.

Hi! I need help! I put my sim card into a new iphone (3g) and then tried to put it back into the old one to get my contacts from it. Now the old iphone is locked and it's asking for a passcode, but I never set up a passcode on it. Has anyone experienced this or does anyone know what to do? Thanks!

Not sure if this applies to your region, but in Australia the SIM password is often written on the "credit card" sized plastic card that the SIM was provided to you with the phone by the telco. Do you still have this? It could be in the iPhone box?

Yes all of the iPhone 5 family use the nano sim, so as long as you did not switch to a phone locked to another network it will work. But you do need to go through the activation/setup procedure with tHat sim.

Clifton I must disagree with you on the above statement. It is my opinion and experience that you should never connect the camera directly to any computer, Mac Windows Whatever.
It is always best to Remove the memory card from the camera and put it in a card reader, whether an external reader or one built into the computer, to copy images from the card.
Hi Shootist. I would be interested in hearing some reasoning on this. I almost always use a USB cable to connect my camera to the MBP for transferring pictures, and have moved about 30,000 this way over the last 6 years since my photography went digital. Recently, on the rare occassions when I have only a few to transfer and I was too lazy to go for the cable, I have used the card reader; about half those times I have difficulty getting the MBP to recognise the card. I find I have to press the card very hard into the slot for it to be recognised.
My rationale is quite possibly wrong, but I feel that the USB connectors are more robust and hard-wearing than the flimsy connectors on an SD card. Also, I haven't measured it, but I think the data transfer is faster with the cable. (I just came across this test, which reports noticeably faster transfer for cable than built-in card reader, but the computer was a PC)
Chiara, sorry for hijacking your thread.

Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro? I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame? The manual should say.

Help me, Can i plug TNT Riva 32MB 4x/2x card into AGP 2x mainboard? How?

i have MSI Riva TNT 32MB 2x/4x, now i want to install it on my old computer. Mainboard just support AGP 2x. I heard from someone if i plug 4x AGP card into AGP 2x , it will burn mainboard. Thus i want to exactly what thing i need to do in order to plug my video card into 2x AGP mainboard.
You can send email to me:
[email protected]
Thanks

thats not true, because older video cards 2x use a different voltage than the newer 8x and 4x boards. case in point: my a7n8x will only take 4x/8x cards... its keyed differently, but in his case I think it is fine because the card says "4X, 2X"

I've broken my iPhone and have put my sim card in my old iPhone 3. If I plug my old iPhone 3 into my computer, will it update the iPhone 3 with everything that is on my phone that is now broken, or will it 'update' iTunes with what was on the old iPhone?

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.
