Replaced hard drive need ethernet and network controller

Hello
I replaced the hard drive on my satellite L655.  I installed windows and used my existing key code.  The laptop is telling me I have no ethernet and network controller.  I have tried to find the correct drivers. Since I am starting the computer from scratch do I need to install other drivers as well?  Please help.
Thanks
Heidi

I'm so sorry, Heidi. I misread your first message. I thought you had restored the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
That's the best thing to do. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. Windows is preactivated.
If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here .
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 71 of the User's Guide.

If you have problems with drivers after doing that, see my previous message.

  • T42 Ethernet and Network controller problems

    I am fairly new to computers and obtained a T42 for my grandson. Please bear with me as I am rather Techno challenged and battled now for 2 days getting internet connection. Had to do a clean XP SP2 installation and landed up with a host of Other devices issues with Yellow Question marks. Have downloaded most drivers from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads with various success. Need serious help here please.
    In Device manager I am sitting with two unresolved issues under Other Devices
    Ethernet Controller PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_167D&SUBSYS_05771014&REV11\4&111A1FD8&0&00E0
    AND
    Network Controller PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4224&SUSYS_1011808&REV_05\4&AD1B67F&0&10F0
     I have downloaded various drivers but still cannot get them to work. Not sure which of the drivers to use.
    In another forum somebody replied
    The Intel PRO/1000 is an ethernet controller. Once you get that installed and establish a network connection, you can download and install MS dotnetfx and Lenovo System Update which will download and install all the other drivers automatically. Or just download them yourself and manually install them.
    Not very helpful as I could not figure ou thow to install as the drivers that I downloaded did not fix this and no further help from them when I questioned this
    Please if someone here will give us some step by step directions. The model is 2373-L77 if that will help

    Checked the "DEV_" # on www.pcidatabase.com
    upper: Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet driver (it seems, you have a T43-System Board in your T42 or you have a T43).
    lower: 802.11a/b/g WLan adapter driver (Intel 2915 Wireless LAN adapter)
    Please find the installation instructions on the linked pages. Executing the downloaded packages extracts them only to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\xxx.
    Starting there you'll need to execute the setup as described on the download page.

  • Replaced hard drive: need helping getting songs off ipod to itunes

    I recently had to send my computer into apple for repair, needless to say they had to replace my hard drive so i lost all of my music. However it is still on my ipod, so i was wondering if there is a way to transfer it from my ipod to my computer

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    Senuti Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Replacing Hard Drive, Logic Board and Ram due to failure on my iMac

    My current mac is crashing and burning, I will be replacing the above components. I trying to backup my system on time machine but I get a message that reads, that Backup FAILED. I am dragging stuff over to my free agent E hard Drive. But, any other suggestions on what I should drag to help me recover stuff when I do get my iMac back? Or, can the system be restored as the way it was before, without time capsule or backup from somewhere else. I have also tried to backup to my other external hard drive,and same issue backup failed. To fix problems I was told to erase and reinstall my system, and then used time machine to bring back my original computer and then was told to erase my time machine to start to a new backup my computer. Hence the the problem. I use my iMac for work, not just to twitter or face book etc. any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Replaced hard drive, need to re-link Time Machine

    Please, before you start typing any response, read my entire post.
    I recently upgraded my internal HDD. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the old drive to the new one, and when I booted up my computer after physically installing it, it worked fine. However, when I plugged in my Time Machine backup, it started to prepare to backup the entire drive, as if I had never backed up before.
    I stopped the back up in progress, and started to look for a way to re-link my Time Machine backup drive.
    After pouring through post after post, I decided I do NOT want to open Terminal and go through a thousand meticulous steps to change my drive's UUID, or rather change the UUID that Time Machine looks for.
    I would rather reboot, wipe my new drive again, and restore from my Time Machine backup, as it seems to be the easiest way to re-link without getting a headache.
    However, do I need to delete the backup that I stopped, before doing anything else? I'm going to assume so? Otherwise I'm afraid Time Machine will try to complete it, and start backing up the entire contents of the drive all over again--my original problem that I'm trying to avoid.
    Your advice?

    Those rarely work anyway.

    That won't help, either. It doesn't matter how you get the data onto the drive, it's a new drive, with a new UUID (and it will get another new one if you do the restore). Time Machine will do a new, full backup of it. You cannot prevent that.
    How large is your Time Machine drive, compared to the size of the data it's backing-up?
    Time Machine will start deleting old backups, trying to make room for the new one. If the TM drive is less than about 2.2 times the size of the data, the backup will fail for lack of space after deleting all but the most recent backup.
    If it's much larger, then fewer old backups will have to be deleted. Unfortunately, it's impossible to predict how much space each will gain.
    So, if your drive is well over 2.2 times the size, just let it do the full backup.
    If not, either erase the drive and let it start fresh, or start over on a different (probably larger) drive.

  • Mac Pro 3,1 - did my hard drive die? And what should I replace it with?

    Hi,
    I inherited my late husband's 2008 Mac Pro (3,1 model) which had 2 x 500GB hard drives in it and 6GB of RAM. I filled the remaining hard drive bays with 1TB drives (I take a lot of video so needed the extra space). The boot drive was partitioned 50/50 in Boot Camp. I've upgraded the RAM to 10GB and I am currently running Lion.
    Today, while doing something as innocuous as scrolling down a web page, the bottom half of my screen went black and the top half began flashing wildly. When it  stopped after several seconds, the mouse would not respond and I could not click on anything. If flashed a bit more, and then I had mouse control back but could not click on anything - web links, applications, finder. After waiting patiently but getting nowhere, I powered the machine down manually, and when I re-started it, it failed to boot. The chime sounded, the apple appeared, and the little revolving wheel, but at the point where the screen would normally go blue then display the desktop, it just went white. The fans spin, but otherwise it's very silent.
    I tested with a second display, got the same issue. I tried booting to recovery mode but it went back to the white screen. I could start in target mode, and there were no issues with flickering screen, so I don't think it's the graphics card. Then I tried browsing to the hard drive over the network, but it wasn't showing on the PC network page, nor could I connect to it via the home theater system, which I can normally do as the streaming app launches on start-up. I am assuming this means the drive has failed? It's the original, and we bought the machine when they were new to the market, so is a good 5 years old. It contains not only the boot drive but my documents, photos, websites, selected videos, all of which are backed up on the Time Capsule, and I was in the process of uploading to cloud backup as well (although not very far along, due to data cap and slow international upload speeds). I had no warning it was about to do this, but then I guess sometimes you don't!
    Assuming I need to replace the drive, would it be worth replacing it with an OWC Mercury Electra 480GB SSD in an Icy Dock sled? Or would that be overkill for such an old machine? Would getting a standard 7200 WD Caviar HDD or similar give me enough of a speed boost? Obviously I am rather enamoured with the idea of a blazing fast SSD but I'd have to import it (not available locally) so I don't want to shell out all that money unless it's really going to make a massive difference.
    Is there anything else I would need to know about using an SSD over a HDD? I assume I would fire it up the normal way - install it, boot from my Snow Leopard install disc (I downloaded Lion from the App Store) format it, clean install SL, then re-update to Lion, then restore my Time Machine backup? Am I likely to experience any weird issues due to it being an SSD? I see talk online of firmware problems and something called TRIM that I don't know anything about. If it's most likely that I can install it and rock on as normal, then I'm pretty keen, but if there's a reasonable probability of it being temperamental, I probably wouldn't be willing to deal with that (and therefore go the HDD route instead). Therefore I am very keen to hear people's opinions and experiences.
    Sorry for the terribly long ramble. The more I have researched this, the more questions it raises! All advice gratefully accepted. Thanks!

    more than likely it is your video card. If it is ATI 2600XT, tell it bye-bye. The card is barely used at all in TDM or Safe Boot Mode. The 2600 and Lion and the issues with that card, even if it seems okay, is not.
    Depending on Windows OS as to how it mounts and sees your Lion HFSX (there is a nice HFSX driver from Paragon, and an NTFS driver for Lion too)
    480GB SSD is overkill for any system unless you are pushing CS6 2-3GB images and then for scratch. All you need for a boot drive is about 100GB.
    If you have an SSD now, then 1) you need to do a full image backup and restore (regularly as maintenance), and 2) TRIM Enabler
    Save Lion and you can always do a clean Lion install w/o going back to SL - but you might want to keep SL (dual boot) and handy if you run into anything you still need that required PowerPC/Rosetta
    FBDIMM RAM dies, Amazon has $32 kits of 4GB. And having all 8 DIMM slots filled improves things. If you need or want to and feel 16GB isn't overkill.
    SSD and issues are always possible. you should not just go along. not without a clone image. And you should have another drive w/ TRIM Enabler so that you can do a repair and "trim" what is needed.
    Clone a system with CCC regularly. Bootable. And can also be used by Setup Assistant.
    Install Lion over a heavily used SL system and there are likely remnants of old things that get in the way and left in there and not removed.

  • Hard drive recently failed and iPhoto brings a -36 error when copying need help accessing image files

    I recently updated my computer to mountain lion and after doing so my computer would no longer boot up.  I took it to the apple store and they told me that the hard drive was damaged and needed to be replaced.  They were booting my computer with an external drive and in doing so could access my computers HDD.  Upon starting to drag and drop files to a new hard drive I started to get a lot of -36 errors.  I proceeded to go go,e and create my own bootable thumb drive and try doing the same process with more time to look through it.  I have up till now been able to copy most of my files but have run into a problem with iPhoto.
    I have been searching around for a while now and have yet to find a method that helps me in my particular situation so I am now asking for help myself. I will explain what my current system of file recovery is and see if anyone can help me out.
    I have since then replaced the HDD in my computer and purchased a SATA external HDD enclosure for the original drive.  This allows me to still access all files and folders from the original drive.  I have managed to recover a majority of the files but have recently run into a problem with the iPhoto library.  Every time I try to drag and drop the iPhoto library to my new HDD it fails after "transferring" 2.02GB and tells me it has encountered a -36 error because some files cannot be read or written.  I believe I am using iPhoto '09, I will check and confirm that later.
    I am looking for a way to open iPhoto's library and access the image files it seems to be hiding from me. Please understand that I cannot open the iPhoto library either, I have lost access to the library entirely and want to see if there are any image files that I can save.  I dont have the computer backed up recently and want to save my photos.  Thanks for looking and I'm hoping someone can help.

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command). Rebuild it to the Pictures Folder. This might overcome the -36 issue.
    (This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.)
    Failing that you're into recovering your Originals from the damaged Library and creating a new Library and starting over from scratch.

  • I work for a university and we have a legal apple vendor.Can we re-install macosx for a replacement hard drive for a old macbook?Just one example.

    I work for a university and we have a legal apple vendor who we get to buy all our Apple products from.Can we (university) re-install macosx for a replacement hard drive once the hard drive gets replaced? How can we as the university IT department legally re-install macosx on a imac,macbook, macbookair etc. We would like to load customized macosx imaging software onto the mac machines(imac, macbook, etc ). The university has its own IT workshop and we would like our users to get their laptops back in the shortest turnaround time.

    We're not "Apple Inc." here, just users like you.
    So whatever we say is not an official statement, nor does it in any way, shape, or form represent the official or unofficial policies or opinions of Apple, Inc.
    But I'll offer my quick opinion, having worked in information-systems and technology support in a wide variety of environments over many years.
    Question #1. "NO!"
    No tech support nor repair facility, even if "Apple-authorized", is automatically empowered to install or upgrade OS X on a replacement hard drive just because it is more convenient or time-efficient. When the repair is complete, the student should be expected to (re)install the operating system themself*!
    Nurturing students (and occasionally dragging them, screaming and kicking!) as budding computer-, tablet-, smartphone-users to become digitally self-sufficient is a worthy goal that any institution of higher education must pursue.
    Making students totally dependent upon "Mother Support" for every little thing about their personal digital devices is a grave disservice to both the students and the people who provide the support. Support-mothered students do become life-long digital dependents, instead of taking the required time to learn enough about the care and feeding of their digital "pets" to sustain them. Entreprenurial students may choose to become 'experts' and actually help each other with their devices, and even make money doing it. Some students may even be inspired/coerced to pursue a career in tech support!!!
    *By all means, if the student requests additional help (re-installing the OS), then the University should charge the student a fair price for the service, provided that the user provides the OS on original or upgrade media, or in the case of the 'digital download' upgrades (for OS X 10.7 and 10.8) provides proof of purchase for the OS upgrade, or the original purchase receipt or other recognized documentation for the purchase of the computer showing the version of OS installed when purchased. Students need to learn about personal responsibility, economics ("What is MY time really worth"?), and proper record-keeping too!
    Question #2. Regarding the customized imaging software, provide it on media or a link for students to download and install it. Make it their responsibility!

  • Corrupt hard drive needs to be replaced?

    I WAS TOLD BY BEST BUY GEEK SQUAD WHEN I TOOK MY LAPTOP TO THEM A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT MY HARD DRIVE IS CORRUPTED AND I NEED TO REPLACED IT. IS IT TRUE THAT I HAVE TO REPLACED MY HARD DRIVE AND THEN USE MY RECOVERY DISC WHICH I DON'T HAVE TO FIX THE PROBLEM?

    Hi:
    It depends on what the hard drive diagnostics test reported, as to whether or not it needs to be replaced, or if only the operating system needs to be restored.
    You can probably order recovery disks from HP for your notebook, but without knowing the full model number of it, I would not be able to provide any further details.
    If you do not know the full model number of your notebook, then please read the guide at the link below for how to find out that info.

  • Need replacement Hard Drive, What model?

    My computer has recently failed, and I ended up taking it to best buy's Geek squad. (I know I know, but it was free). They determined that my hard drive had failed and would need to be replaced. However they said the drive was a PATA drive and not a SATA and would therefore be more difficult to find a replacement for. They recommended that I just buy a new computer.
    My question is: will a SATA or SATA II drive be compatible with this computer? Everything I read about the T61P is that they used SATA hard drives. If so, is there a way I can find which hard drives will be compatible with my computer?
    The computer in question is a T61p purchased in December 2007. The factory hard drive it came with was the 100GB 7200 rpm one.
    I should also mention that the CD/DVD drive has failed so it will be difficult to use a recovery disk. I have a USB external CD drive, but not sure if that will be operational without the drivers installed.
    Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Once again, the legendary Geek Squad to the rescue...NOT.
    Every single T61 that rolled off the assembly line used SATA drives, and nothing but SATA drives.
    The last ThinkPads that utilized PATA drives were T43/p two generations earlier.
    So yes, you can install *any* 9.5 mm laptop SATA hard drive or SSD in your T61 but...given the competence of the crew that had diagnosed the patient in the first place, how can we be certain that it's indeed  the hard drive that had failed?
