Increase the hard disk drive capacity on a MacBook Air

is it possible to increase the hard disk drive capacity from 64 to 128 G? How do I do it?

It would appear Apple does not intend for you to do it.
It might be possible, if expensive.
I would consider an external drive.

  • How to make the RESCUE AND RECOVERY hidden partition when changing the hard disk drive

    I've got T61 and I'd like to know if is it possible (in case of changing the HDD) to make the RESCUE AND RECOVERY hidden partition  on the new hard disk drive? If yes - please let me know how to do that.

    hi you the rescue partition is made automatically when you use your recovery cd's on the new HDD so no problem there!

  • Portege M400 - Windows XP cannot find the hard disk drive

    Hi,
    Ive got a Portege M400 to which im wanting to start a fresh, I never had the tablet XP CD so im trying to install using a XP Pro disc but everytime I get no hard drive can be detected and I tried a another Home edition disc also.
    Ive searched for SCSI/ SATA drivers but can only find RAID drivers to which are no good for me,
    Hopefully someone can help me out
    Thanks

    Hi wacksonjackson,
    Why these RAID drivers are not good for you? Windows XP requires RAID drivers if your notebook has RAID controller and there is no other option to install XP from a normal Windows XP disk. So download the RAID drivers on official Toshiba website. Either you create a new installation disk with RAID drivers using freeware tool nLite or you copy the drivers on an external USB FDD and load them during XP setup.
    Also check similar threads here in forum. You will find hundreds of similar threads about SATA and RAID drivers.
    Check this!!!

    Matthew:
    Indicating your location in your Public Profile makes it easier for those who respond to your queries. In addition, identifying your computr by processor speed will also be helpful.
    Your computer will support a 2.5" Parallel ATA/IDE Hard Disk Drive. Here is a list of available drives. Use the filters in the sidebar to screen for capacity and manufacturer etc. then select and compare drives, or select the drive you like and Compare prices.

  • Hard disk drive replaicement

    I have a Hard Disk 1 (301) error message, when turning on my laptop. It says something along the lines of "the hard disk has detected an imminent failure".
    My laptop is a HP Pavilion G7-1033cl   (windows 7), purchased in 2011,  so it's out of warranty.
    As far as a noticed in some other answers, I shoul replace the hard-disk for sure.
    Ok, my question is: What kind of hard disk shoul I buy for replacing it? What's the best recommended?
    Thank you for your help!
    GStoicu

    Whenever the Hard Disk fails with an error Hard Disk 1 [301] that indicates that the Hard Disk Drive has failed and that requires a replacement to resolve the issue
    This issue could be due to Application or driver conflicts, virus issues, file corruptions due to incompatible applications, improper shutdowns, update failures due to conflicts, sudden power surges, if notebook is dropped etc..
    HP will provide a replacement Hard Disk Drive if the Notebook warranty is Active, If not you need buy a SATA Hard Disk Drive from a retail shop nearby
    Please make sure you are getting at least equal capacity as the original one in order to use Recovery Disks. If you need you can buy a larger, but not smaller capacity Hard Disk Drive. For example if you have a 500GB Hard Disk Drive you can upgrade it to 750GB Hard Disk Drive but not 320GB Hard Disk Drive
    Please try the below shown troubleshooting steps once:
    Step 01. Remove the battery and unplug the AC/Power Adapter
    Step 02. Press and hold the Power button for more than 30 Seconds
    Step 03. Plug in the AC/Power Adapter (leave the Battery out for now)
    Step 04. Press the Power button and check if the Unit works normal
    If the above mentioned steps does not help, then you can try reseating the Hard Drive on your Notebook
    If the issue persists again please Contact HP if your HP Notebook is under warranty, HP would replace the Hard Disk Drive and provide you a Recovery media to restore factory operating system after replacement (if you've not yet created Recovery Discs/USB Media)
    Note: Back up all the personal data to an external drive if it's possible. Otherwise you could connect the failed HDD via SATA to USB adapter with another PC or same PC after replacement of HDD & re-installation of OS and try copying /recovering the files. You can also refer to the below shown link for further support

  • Just bought a Lenovo 3000 N200 without a hard disk drive, need software

    I just bought a Lenovo 3000 N200 Type 0769-BLG assembly date 07/09 from e-bay, it looks brand new but it had a fault, it was dead, perhaps a faulty motherboard and the hard disk drive had been removed.  Assuming I can get the fault fixed, where can I get the Lenovo software that came with the original hard disk drive, I would prefer a free source, if that is possible, perhaps some kind person has put all of the CD's on to a DVD that I can borrow or buy a copy of. I was an IBM employee for 30 years before retiring 15 years ago. Dan McLean in Scotland, UK.

  • Satellite M30X - high hard disk drive utilization

    After login in Windows XP (SP2), my toshiba laptop is very slow. The hard disk drive light is continuously on for 5 minutes. I've looked at the task manager, but CPU utilization is low and RAM usage is low. There is no program that seems to use a lot of CPU or RAM.
    I've actually turned off the paging file to see if the problems due to intensive use of the paging file on the HDD, but problem persists. The model of the laptop is Satellite M30X-113.
    I don't know if it's related, but this problem arose around the time that I've taken out a 256 MB RAM module and installed a 512 MB one (making the total ram memory 1024 MB).

    Hi
    > I don't know if it's related, but this problem arose around the time that I've taken out a 256 MB RAM module and installed a 512 MB one (making the total ram memory 1024 MB).
    If this issue has begun after installation of the new memory module then I would say that the new memory module is responsible for this issue.
    You could also try to put back the 256MB module to check if the issue still persist.
    This would be the easiest way for checking

  • Qosmio X500/00X System Recovery (Factory Reset) From Hard Disk Drive or Separate Disk

    Hey Guys,
    Looking for your advice and any links if any...cheers in advance
    My Situation
    In December 2009 I purchased a Toshiba Qosmio X500 - Model No. PQX33A-00X00J
    At the time I upgraded my purchase from Toshiba Reseller BD4U, going from the standard 1x 500GB Sata drive + 1x 64GB SSD... to instead having 2x 500GB sata drives. I purchased with 3 year onsite next business day warranty, that is is now expired.
    It came loaded with MS Win 7 Premium Home Edition - but no disks provided.
    My Needs
    I need/want to factory reset my PC - its starting to run slow
    I need to re-partition from my existing 4x partitions to just having 2
    The Issues
    Possibly as a result of upgrading the disk drives at time of purchase, I don't believe I have a hidden Recovery partition in order to do a System Recovery from the Hard Disk Drive - see image of my current partitions attached
    I don't have Win 7 OS installation disks or Toshiba Driver disks as they should have been installed by Toshiba
    My Questions
    Do You agree that I DONT have a Recovery Partition - when looking at the partition image? I'm confused on this point coz people say its hidden!?
    Given I have no Toshiba Drivers Disk or Windows 7 OS disks - what should I do? I'm thinking of downloading Win 7 (use my product key from sticker under PC) and making a disk/USB (but need to learn how)
    Is this where I get ALL necessary Toshiba drivers for my PC from?
    Does Toshiba provide a link on its site and instructions on where to get Win 7 from so I can make a recover disk??
    Notes
    Tried to email Toshiba support but at step 1 of their email process validation failed due to my PC being out of warranty so will call them on Monday instead
    THANK YOU THANK YOU, for any help you can give big ro small
    Cheers
    Rick

    WOW, thanks Macius for that great, full and thorough reply...cheers mate
    I suspected I didn't have a recovery partition - so thanks for confirming it as I planned to risk it and try! I guess it doesn't really matter why, and it would be futile to go and blame the re-seller or Toshiba at this late stage in the game in hopes they would help...
    Yeah, I just went to Microsoft Software Recovery hoping to download Win 7 OS and create a recovery disk but of course Microsoft would NOT allow it due to it being software that was pre-installed on the device blah blah blah (see error image)
    And I didn't bother back then in 2009 to create recovery media as you wisely descibed, mostly due to laziness and mentally putting it in the 'too hard basket'...I didn't really understand it - or much about computers at the time.
    Re - your Option #2 - thanks for confirming Toshiba drivers. I could/can do this - but don't really want to buy something I already have, perhaps I'll check out ebay or see if a friend has a disk
    Re - your Option #1 - I'm currently based in Vietnam and wont be back in Oz till late in the year, so will see if I can find a reliable Toshiba service provider here - but wont hold me breath on this one
    I'm thinking that IF Option #1 is a No-Go then - maybe Plan B or Option #3 could be:
    Do an Audit of Programs to identify those I don't need and can safely remove - then remove using Control Panel/ Remove Programs tool
    Reformat all other drives (not C:// where OS is)
    Then use some re-partition software e.g. Disk-Partiton.com
    Any final thoughts???
    Anyhow - thanks very much again
    Rick

  • Intel Xserve will NOT boot from hard disk drive

    I have two Intel Xserves 2.0 QC machines
    I have tried to re-install version 10.4.11 OS (don't ask) onto a Hard disk drive that is in a Disk drive caddy and inserted in the machine.
    When booting from The installation DVD media
    The disk is seen by the "Disk Utility" (the disk is partitioned as GUID boot) and the installation proceeds to the disk.
    Once the first pass of the installation is complete and the system reboots, the system shows the folder and ? mark.
    If I boot and hold "ALT" key to view all avaialble boot options the Hard Disk Drive does NOT appear as valid boot disk.
    It does show, the still inserted Installation DVD.
    I CAN boot from an external firewire drive and the Hard disk drive is visible to the OS once logged in.
    I have tried different caddy postions (left, middle and right)
    I have tried bona fide Apple supplied Disk drives
    I have tried various different caddies
    I have tried installing Operating System 10.5.*  and  10.6.8 server
    I have run SMC reset and system reset
    But still I cannot boot off from any Hard Disk Drive inserted in a caddy at the front of the system.
    Has anyone seen this behaviour?
    Is it fixable?
    Do I have replace something like the Hard Disk Drive back plane circuit board? Or even the main logic board?
    I have now run out of ideas and cannot find any help in discussions or just googling.
    ANY help would be very appreciated
    Regards
    Tony

    Antonio Hi !
    QC = Quad core  or  QX as it is written on the "pull out" serial number tab at rear of system
    I have 3 late 2006 Intel xserves
    On my intial posting I declared 2 were 2.0 machines - when I was trying to be concise
    2 of the macines are 2.66 systems and 1 is 2.0 system - all are QX machines
    the 2.0 and 1 of the 2.66 will NOT boot from the ADM and disk inside the system - whereas the other 2.66 system will.
    I have many different Caddies and these have different product/model number labels
    603-9965
    603-9545
    603-9796
    these are marked "intel SATA"
    The 80Gb was only one of the drives tested - I have used Seagate 400Gb 750Gb and 1Tb  -  all of which have been used in systems at one time or another
    and as I said the drives ARE visible once the operating system (either installation DVD or external firewire are booted from) - they are just NOT visible when the system is searching for boot media.
    Thanks for the guide - I will look through that and continue to try and find an answer

  • How do I remove the Hard disk from computer? I have an old iMac, model M5521 circa 2000.  I need to wipe the disk clean to DOD specs before donating it.

    I have an iMac Model M5521, circa 2000, which I must wipe the hard drive clean to DOD specs before donating it.
    I have the DOD software on another non-apple computer.  I need to remove the hard disk drive from the iMac to do this.
    How do I get to the hard drive?  I find only two screws on the back of the monitor/case and they do not help.  What am I missing?
    Thanks

    It's not too hard but you have to take off the bottom cover of the case. These instructions shoudl show what yo uneed to do.
    http://www.scribd.com/doc/103447/iMac-G3-Disassembly-Guide
    I pulled the original 10G hard drive from our M5521 and replaced it with a larger one. The whole thing took under 45 minutes, including the 15 minutes it took me to recover a screw that fell into the works.

  • 9.2.1 upgrade - hard disk driver prob.

    Hi all,
    System
    PowerPC G4 dig audio dual533
    768mb ram
    40gb HD - 9.1OS
    120gb HD - OSX tiger
    I have installed a 2nd hand 120Gb HD which I totally erased writing 0's over it then partitioned (1) MacOS extended.
    Loaded OSX tiger onto it and all is sweet no problems at all and loving the new interface!
    Now the problem is I want to use my Illust9 & Phsop6 on the old 40gb HD which is running OS9.1.
    Tried to access one of the progs via Tiger, classic started up and basically hung on the startup screen so I had to cancel it. That is when the problems started.
    I booted up the OS9.1 drive and lost use of my enternet300 adsl internet connection. Reloaded adsl software, didn't fix. Also missing Quicktime VR plus tried using Illust9 and got systems error of controls trip extension. A few other things seemed to go wrong as well.
    Read somewhere that it was highly rec to upgrade to 9.2.2 to utilise the classic environment effectively.
    As I had lost my internet connection on the old HD I downloaded the Mac OS 9.2.1 Update.smi, Mac OS 9.2.2 Update.smi and HardDriveUpdate1.smi files from my Tiger HD.
    Back to the OS9.1 HD to install the updates and it comes up with.....
    The hard disk driver on the disk "PowerMac G4 Install" cannot be updated with this program because the disk is not an Apple hard disk. Contact the manufacturer of your computer or hard disk to see if you need to update the driver.
    After alot of stuffing around I have done the following in this order.
    after each one it didn't fix the problem
    1. OS9.1 software restore in place
    2. OS9.1 software restore clean install
    3. Erased HD and initilised 1 part partition using OS9.1 software install CD
    then installed new OS9.1 by booting up from install CD
    4. Erased HD and initilised 1 part partition using OSX tiger software install DVD from 120gb HD, then installed new OS9.1 by booting up from install CD
    thinking this would sort the driver problem but no go.
    same problem when trying to upgrade to 9.2.1!!!!!!!!!!!
    any ideas?
    40gb HD is a IBM-IC35L040AVER07-0
    appreciated

    PowerPC G4 digital audio dp533   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  
    PowerPC G4 digital audio dp533   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    OK,
    I have Erased the 40gbHD and erased, initilised it with a 1 part partition using disk utility from the OSX tiger on the 120gb HD, then installed a new OS9.1 by booting up from the OS9.1 install CD.
    Used the 9.2.1 upgrade which was downloaded from Apple.
    Followed thier instructions in the read me file by
    turning extensions to 9.1 base
    make sure file sharing is off (wasn't on in the first place)
    then restarted
    no other apps running and straight into starting the upgrade
    started the install process
    unchecked the option to update driver
    starts to install goes for about 6% and then the box comes up with......
    This version of Mac OS can not be installed over the localized version of Mac OS on the disk named "XXXXXXX XXXXX".
    Please choose a different destination disk, or perform a clean installation.
    SURELY IT CAN"T BE THIS HARD TO UPGRADE FROM 9.1 to 9.2.1 to 9.2
    COME ON APPLE help me out here!!!!! FFS!
    can't do a clean install, haven't got the disks!!!!!

    Is the hard disk drive of T400 2.5"? Thanks!

    But if the T400 shipped with an SSD, the SSD is often the 1.8" type, so there is a 2.5" to 1.8" adapter installed.
