Installed New hard drive in Toshiba P875-s7310

A couple of weeks ago my hard drive went out in my toshiba satellite P875-S7310. I did not make recovery disk so i order the recovery media usb from Toshiba. I have installed a new hard drive and have tried to boot up the laptop to the bios so i can install everything from the usb onto the new hard drive. I have tried f2, f12, and holding the 0 bottom. Nothing has worked. What else can i do? I want to fix this laptop and do not know what else to do. PLEASE HELP!!

If Eagle's instructions don't help, reset the machine and try again.

The instructions attached should have come with your flash drive.
According to the spec above, once you've restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents you'll have Windows 8. Follow these instructions to upgrade to Windows 8.1.

Installed new hard drive in a Toshiba satellite and now cant do windows upadates

installed new hard drive in a Toshiba satellite S500-02J . Used recovery stick purchased from Toshiba. Windows installed and everything up and running, but when I go to do a windows update. I received this message: "Windows update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer."
Toshiba help line said it was a problem because new hard drive was not exactly the same as the old hard drive. It was a minor fix but wanted a $100 to perform the fix remotely.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thanks.

Maybe this one from the land down under?

The probloem occurs because the new drive has advanced-format technology. All the new ones do. See this message from three years ago.
The fix is to install a new storage driver.
Intel Rapid Storage Technology
If you've messed around with drivers, you'll probably need to repeat the restore. Introduce the storage driver as early as possible.

Installed new hard drive and windows 7 at the same time. Left old hard drives in computer but unable to get bookmarks from old drives to new.

Installed new hard drive and windows 7 at the same time. Left old hard drives in computer, installed firefox however I have no idea in which file the old bookmarks are located. I still have the old files for firefox in the old drives.

Your "Firefox personal data", like bookmarks, are stored in your Profile folder in Firefox. See this support article about how to recover that data from that old hard drive and transfer it your your new Profile.

Just installed new hard drive in mac book pro 15", when trying to boot OSX from original disk I still get a folder with a question mark in it. How can I reinstall the OS?

Can't seem to get my mac book to boot from the CD after installing new hard drive.
I keep holding down "c" while restarting the machine with the disk in but it just keeps ejecting the disk and giving me a folder with a question mark.

If your on 10.5 with a Intel Mac, I think Apple has jinxed the firmware so you can't boot from the 10.5 disk anymore.
So far several people, myself included, can't boot from a 10.5 OS X disk on a Intel Mac.
Your going to have to buy a 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk, it's wayyy better than 10.5 anyway, faster and most stable even better than Lion. Have to buy iLife though as it doesn't come on the 10.6.3 retail disks, only free with grey disks.

Hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive. When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive. When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

Yes because that information is not located on the hard-drive of your new mac! If it is purchased content from the store, than this issue isn't as bad as it looks!
Here is a link explaining how to get your previously purchased content back:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You also want to authorize your Apple ID account on the computer by following these instructions as well:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1730
Basically this link explains to go to the top left corner of your screen where you will see file, edit, view etc! Click on Store in that section and click on authorize this computer, also you want to make sure that the computer will not automatically sync by going to iTunes in the top left corner, just to the right of the apple symbol if iTunes is selected, and go to prefrences, and here you will see back up! Right under the back-ups has an option explaining to prevent devices from automatically syncing which is good cause you may be able to transfer your purchases from there which will put your content into the computer, and if that happens than we don't lose anything
Hopefully I was of some help:)

First boot into recovery and select Disk Utility>First Aid and repair the disk.
If there is no improvement, perform a Safe Boot:

If there is an improvement, then third party applications are probably the cause of the problem.

Installed new hard drive in imac and i get folder with question mark, put in OS install disk and it does nothing? All I have is wireless key board and mouse, is this a factor?

Other than put disc in you don't give much info about what you've done. With the install disc inserted restart your Mac while holding the C key, that should start it up from the install disc. Should also work fine with a wireless Apple keyboard.

Playlists Missing After Install New Hard Drive and Upgrade to Win 7

My computer needed a new hard drive and I upgraded from Win Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium.
I am trying to get my Playlists back for my iTunes in my "Administrator" user account, after reinstalling iTunes and putting my music libraries back onto my computer.
(I had installed 32-bit Win7 OS myself, computer worked OK for about 1 day, then would not boot up; I took computer to shop, they said I needed new Hard Drive, and I gave them my new Win7 OS computer disks)
I am confused over whether I have 32-bit OS or 64-bit OS. They recommended installing 32-bit OS, I agreed, and believed that I had 32-bit OS installed; however, Computer / System Properties state "System type: 64-bit Operating System"
Prior to my installing Win7, I backed up the following onto my Western Digital "My Passport Essential Portable Hard Drive:"
("My Administrative Account"): Users / Owner / My Music
and
("My User Account"): Users / Yank / My Music
My "Administrative" and "User" user accounts contain different songs in iTunes.
If helpful, I could describe what is in each of these 2 backed-up music folders.
To get started, I copied both my "Owner" and "Yank" user folders in the C: User folder; however now I have "Owner," "Yank," and "Yank.Owner-Toshiba" folders in the C: User folder. I think I did this by creating a new Yank user account by creating a new account, not by my copying a folder into C: User folder. The Owner folder has a picture of a lock on the folder icon.
Because I had trouble merging My Music folders in the Owner folder, and I was confused, I copied everything that was in the Owner folder into a new folder in the Owner folder, "NEW OWNER FOLDER." I also copied my Owner Music folder into several places in my Users / Owner folder.
I also ended up changing the "iTunes Media folder location" several times, using iTunes "Edit / Preferences / Advanced tab / change "iTunes Media folder location". When I chose "Reset," it shows "C:\Users\Owner\NEW OWNER FOLDER\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media"
I've also played around with "Edit / Preferences / Advanced tab / 'Keep iTunes Media folder organized' "
When I open my iTunes, I have no playlists.
However, when I went to my "Yank" user account and opened iTunes for the first time, the playlists associated with that account were visible.
How do I get my playlists back on my Administrative Account, which is my main song collection and had many, many playlists?
Thank you.

YAY!
I didn't try shift-start of iTunes, but I DID GET MY PLAYLISTS BACK BY FOLLOWING YOUR OTHER ADVICE:
I went to my external hard drive, went to my backup at Users / Owner / My Music / iTunes / and searched for library.itl
Four files with that name were found, with different dates.
I chose the most recent, dated just a few days before I made my backup to the external hard drive.
I copied it to my computer's hard drive into the following location:
C:\Users\Owner\NEW OWNER FOLDER\Music\iTunes
which overwrote the file which was located there.
When I opened iTunes, ALL MY WONDERFUL PLAYLISTS WERE THERE!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SOLVING THIS FOR ME!
CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW DISAPPOINTED I FELT WHEN I BELIEVED THAT I HAD LOST ALL OF THE PLAYLISTS WHICH I HAD CREATED OVER THE YEARS? Many of my playlists were composed of whole albums whose songs I had added to iTunes.
THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH!

Help! Still get error message after installing new hard drive

The original problem is below and thought that it would help to include it to see the initial problem.
I went out and bought a new hard drive (500gb) and installed it in my laptop. I went to use the restore disks and I got the same exact error mentioned below. I used a set of disks that I copied from the original recovery disk and it still did the same. What is the error code and how can I fix this!!
Please help!!
I have a Satellite A215-S7444 laptop and everytime I go to restore the drive to it's factory settings using the Toshiba recovery wizard I get the following error: ERROR: 03-EEEE-000, AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED, PRESS [OK] TO TURN OFF COMPUTER.
Just a note, I have used my recovery disks to restore the factory settings before with no problems at all, now I get this message. All the files are accesible on the CD and I have no virus' on my computer.
Lastly, the image part of the drive (The one that is like 1.5 gb) which is usually visible is not any more and has not been for a bit when you should see it when you open "My computer". You can however see it when I go to "Administrative Tools-Computer Management." It states that the drive is Healthy (EISA Configuration), type is basic, and there is no file system associated with the drive and there is no drive letter for it either.

Thanks for your quick reply! I was wondering if anyone would reply!
I made the copies on a suggetion that the original may be scratched or something so I figured what the heck? I did format the hard drive though. It is a Seagate 500gb hard drive. I only formatted the whole drive and figured that the restore disks would make the additional partition.
Aside from that, it's the same error message that I had on the original drive. The original drive and OS works (Vista), but I wanted to restore it because I just wanted to wipe everything and start clean. What can be causing the error message, and what IS the error message?
Anymore suggestions or help would be great as I am in desperate need of getting my computer back to working.
Thanks again for replying!

Installed new hard drive, but now cannot get OS X 10.5 to install?

Hi everyone,
I seem to have gotten myself into what is probably a very stupid position, so fair warning on what you're about to read.
I have a Macbook Pro 17-inch, early 2011, 8 GB Ram, 2.2 Quad-core, Model A1297. The original hard drive (750 GB Toshiba MK7559GSXF) started warning me of S.M.A.R.T failures and gave me just enough time to move my data off the laptop. I bought a Western Digital Bare Drive 500 GB (this guy) and swapped the two out. At this point, my original hard drive was completely dead and it's completely my fault for not catching it earlier (btw I could both verify and repair the failing disk, but the SMART status was failing so it would not allow me to do much more than that).
Once I installed the new hard drive, I erased/restored the new drive using DU and then tried two different things that have both failed:
Went to the next steps without partitioning the new drive
Went to the next steps after partitioning the new drive once using the format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Picture.
Then I tried to install Mac OS X two different ways that have both failed:
Tried to "Reinstall Mac OS X" through the online option (accessed through command + option + R on bootup), however this failed and I realized that it probably failed because my macbook shipped with Leopard and it was trying to install Lion. Tried it anyway and got variation of "this option is not available at this time" error.
Tried to reinstall the OS using a DVD. This Macbook came with the DVD for Mac OS X Leopard Version 10.5.1 System build 9B21. I inserted the DVD and then restarted the laptop holding down the option button. When I watched videos online of other people doing this, they always got at least two different 'icons' so to speak when they did this (around minute 3:13 of this video for example): the hard drive and the Mac OS X Install DVD icon (picture). I only got the install DVD icon. When I went ahead and clicked the arrow to install the OS, the DVD spins for a few seconds and then the laptop freezes (can't move mouse, no discernible sounds that anything is happening)
At this point, I know I've screwed up repeatedly, but I don't know how to fix it. Any ideas?

Hello,
Not sure what you used to Format it in the 1st place!?
Once booted from the 10.5.1 Install Disc, try reformatting the drive again, does it show in Disk Utility from the Install Disc??

Didn't watch the video on my slow connection, but option/alt boot would only show Drives/CDs/DVDs with OSX already installed on them.

Qosmio F30 - installing new hard drive

Hi,
I have just installed a new hard drive on my Qosmio F30 - It originally only came with one 60 GB hard drive.
The second drive is identical to the first in every way, i.e. 60 GB Toshiba drive.
I have initialised the new drive and it is showing as online and unallocated. I want to use the drive to basically increase my capacity, not as a mirror, and therefore selected this option using the RAID utility.
However when I expelore the C drive, it still only shows the total capacity of the drives as 60 GB. I assume that both drives should be showing as one drive, as 120 GB.
Is the drive working properly?
Thanks

Hi!
Chad is right, you should check the BIOS if the second HDD is recognized properly. Then you can set the RAID that you want. As I understand you right you want RAID 0.
If you dont have the user manual you can download it on the Toshiba website:

Trying to install new hard drive in MacBook

Hello,
I am at a dead end and would appreciate your help.
Due to a no-boot situation that I chased for several days. My hard drive was damaged (many corrupt/damaged/orphaned files) I confirmed that by using Apple Hardware test and then running a fsca check that said the disc was unfixable, I had to replace a failed system internal hard drive that HAD tiger 10.4.6 OS on it
I just physically installed a new 160 GB WD (Sata) hard drive in a Macbook. No problem!
However, when I try Power + C key to boot from the install disk #1 so I can get to disk utility to partition format etc. the new drive
--------------------------------- I can't get there from here???
After the start up chime, and after a short delay I see a ---black folder icon--- on the screen with a question mark symbol on it that is blinking.
It seems that the Mac is telling me that it can not find the "System" Boot or some other needed folder.
That actually makes since since I know that the new Hard drive internal/system drive is blank and NOT partitioned, initalized or formatted.
The ONLY way I know to (prepare) the new disc for reinstallation of the OS is to boot from the install CD (power + C key)and navigate to the Utility area and prepare the new drive.
Right?
But I can not get any further than the point where I see the blinking black folder icon and question mark so NO UTILITY options are available to me.
NOTE:
I do have several windows based PCs that I could use to format/partition IF I can find a utility or program that will allow me to set a Mac partition from a PC based utility (and no, I do not want to end up with a Fat32 partition on the Mac)!
If there is a utility available I can install the new disk as a external USB connected unpartitioned hard drive and go from there.
Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do to get on with this matter?
Help of any kind will be appreciated.
(short of trashing the Macbook---Yes I considered doing that too)
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
Try just the C key alone, or the Option key, which should show boot choices, then...
"Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the Erase tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume, then choose MacOS Extended Journalled.
6. Click Erase & look for Security Options. choose Zero 1 pass."
