New hard disk for HP Pavilion All-in-One MS228sc

I need to get af new hard disk drive for my HP Pavilion All-in-One MS228sc. I have great difficulties in getting in touch with HP denmark since my product is out of waranty.
My questions is if the PC can handle a disk larger than my current on on 500 GB. Further more I am not sure about other potential limits the PC could have ini regards to speed and other parameters on a new disk drive
This question was solved.

As your computer is out of warranty, please purchase a 500GB - 2TB 3.5" SATA2 or 3 hard drive from an online or local retailer. If the new drive is an AF (Advanced Format) drive, you may have issues using the HP Recovery Media you created or purchased.
If this is the case and you can still read the 25-digit Windows product key on the Microsoft COA affixed to your computer, you can install Windows 7 using this key. Please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instructions on how to download Windows 7, create the installation media, and install Windows 7 using the 25-digit product key from the Microsoft COA on your computer. This method will not install any HP customizations or value-added software and you will have to manually install all needed drivers.
Links to Windows 7 SP1 can be found HERE and HERE. (Download the Windows 7)
Direct link to Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. (Use to create the media from the ISO)

Maximum RAM for HP Pavilion All-in-One MS228sc

Since my HP Pavilion All-in-One MS228sc is getting increasingly slow - even after releasing space on the hard-drive I am researching on the possibility for a RAM upgrade.
The Pavillion ins "born" with 2 GB RAM in the slots and 2 GB virtual RAM.
My question if I can subsitute the one or both the RAM blocks with 2GB block. In that way I will get 3 or 4 Physical RAM instead of 2.
I assume that will increase the performance a great deal

Where could I buy a new hard disk for my macbook pro 15''(MB986CH/A)

Does anyone know where I could buy a new hard disk for my macbook pro 15''(MB986CH/A) (mid 2009)? The hard drives sold in Apple Store are not for macbook pro... Thanks a lot!

At one time Apple use to put an Apple firmware on the drives installed into Mac computer. That is not the case anymore. And even if they did that firmware was just to indentify the drive as an Apple drive. Those same drives would work in any computer and any drive would work in a Mac computer. Same is true today. There are NO Apple Mac drives. Apple uses the exact same drives as any other computer.
Apple uses the exact same hardware as all other computers. Same CPU, GPU, RAM, Drives, DVD drives you name it, it is the same as any PC.
Good Luck but just because you go to a Mac-centric store doesn't mean it is any different then what you would buy some place else, other then it may cost more from one of those Mac-centric places.

Thanks. According to my previous experience with an old white macbook, there might exist some compatibility problems for the hardware I bought from computer parts store...That's why I want to find an official retail store or reseller.... Thanks anyway!

Hi there ricalimo,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps in the article below. If the issue is location specific, than you may want to save the article so you can perform troubleshooting when you are experiencing trouble.

Need to install clean OS on new hard disk for MacBook air

I have just installed a new hard disk on my MacBook air. How do I format and install OS?
What OS to install?
How to format?
The origin hard disk is dead!

Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

New hard disk for a Wallstreet powerbook

I have a Powerbook G3 Wallstreet M4753 which runs a 233MHz processor and 256Mb of RAM. Currently it has a 2 GB hard disk running Mac OS 8.1. I would like to fit a 20GB hard disk that can run on OSX. I have tried before but cannot get the machine to work with a new disk, I have heard something about “blessing” the disk. Please can someone help by telling me the exact way of installing the new larger disk and how to get OSX loaded.

Stephen:
Your WallSteet will support a 2.5" ATA/IDE HDD up to 120 GB, like one of these at OWC. To install, follow the step by step directions at http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/PowerBook-G3-Wallstreet/HD-Replacement/3/4/. Once installed, you will need to boot from the install disk and format the HDD Mac OS Extended (HFS+). You should then be able to install your OS.
Are you planning to install OS 9 or a version of OS X? You WallStreet will natively support Jaguar (OS X 10.2.8). With a 233 processor I wouldn't attempt anything later. If you have OS 9 install disk here are directions for formatting and installing:
Format and Install OS 9
This process will completely erase everything on your Hard Disk Drive. Be sure to Backup your User Folder and all third party apps you can't afford to lose
1. Boot from your OS 9 install CD holding down C key.
2. Go to Drive Setup and reformat your drive as Mac OS Extended (HFS+)
2. Reinstall OS 9
3. Update to 9.2.2: Mac OS 9: Available Updates
4. Update your firmware
If you are planning to install Jaguar, you can then install it over OS 9 or post back for directions.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

HT1338 I have updated my new MacBook Pro for HP Photosmart All-in-One, but it still will not scan - it will print, but will not scan. How can I fix this?

I have installed the updates for my HP Photosmart All-in-One c309a. It prints, but will not scan. Tells me to update - I did that, but still won't scan. Any suggestions to make the scanner work?
This all worked perfectly with my old 2008 MacBook Pro.

Have you tried scanning from Image Capture or Preview?
A current driver is shown to be available for Mavericks (auto-downloaded):

But many people have found that manufacturer scanning control software doesn't work. They have to use the Apple-provided software.

And will the computer be able to use this drive?
What about a Samsung 250GB 5400rpm 2.5" Serial ATA ?
Cheers
Mark

how can i made dthe new hhd ready voor accepting in the laptop get now error that hdd is not visable
thnx b verhoof

Yours is a very advanced laptop. It supports RAID in the BIOS. How do you have the hard drive configured in the BIOS?
Here is the RAID manual:
RAID manual
I am assuming you have one 2.5 inch 1TB WD Velociraptor hdd installed in the laptop. You should have the SATA interface set to AHCI (see page 14). If you already have it set that way then there is some other problem we need to figure out.

For what we are going to do is that we try to run the client export with t-code SCC8, since the system respond Runtime Errors

New hard disk after time machine restore doesn't boot, NEED HELP

Hi,
I just bought a new hard disk for my computer and it works fine if you just install the OS X, but every time I do a restore from my time machine I received a screen after the boot that tells the following:
"You need to restart your computer, hold on the power button until it turns off, then press the power button again."
This message appears in many languages, I do the restart and the same message comes again every time.
I already tried the disk utility when I boot with the OS X DVD and says that the disk is ok. I also tried a PRAM reset.
The result is the same message.
Does any body knows what I am doing wrong or why is this happens?
thanks for any help

This is a kernel panic. They are often, but not exclusively, hardware related. Some reading for you:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1392
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
If this only happens after a full restore from TM, that might suggest something you are copying back over is causing the problem. You may want to ask in the Snow Leopard TM forums about how to identify the culprit, or do a partial restore that might skip the system files likely to cause a panic:

I need to configure a new hard disk as backup disk for time machine. The set up program is running and it says it will take 9 days to backup about 56 GB. Is it normal ?

5 hours to do 6 GB of transfer is NOT normal, even for USB 2.0 so there's something wrong here. I'd say cancel it, wipe the drive and then test the integrity of the drive. Do some file transfers over to and see if it's behaving normally. It could be a bad USB cable, it could be a bad drive or bad enclosure. As it's new, I suspect you haven't really put it through its paces yet and it's important to do that first before commissioning it to serve as your "reliable backup."
