Satellite Pro 2100 and new hard drive

Hi,
I've seen on another post that L0nestar has installed a Western Digital WD2500BEVE (250GB, 5400RPM) into a Pro 2100.
The question I have is what interface is required EIDE or SATA? The original drive states its a SATA interface, but the WD2500BEVE is an EIDE interface?
Hope someone can clear this up for me.
Cheers.

As far as I know all old notebook models have HDDs with EIDE interface. Satellite Pro 2100 is delivered with Enhanced IDE (ATA-5) HDD.
Bye

Hi, I have a macbook pro with a new hard drive installed. My WD external drive backup on time machine now wont let me access the files. I get a prompt saying 'you do not have permission to access the files'

hi, I have a macbook pro with a new hard drive installed and restored. My WD external drive backup on time machine now wont let me access the files. I get a prompt saying 'you do not have permission to access the files' After my new drive was installed I plugged in time machine and it started backing up. I paused it when I realised that it was running for more than a few minutes. I now realise that it probably started backing up the new hard drive all over again. Which makes me think that the original back up must be on the WD back I cant seem to access it. Any ideas would be helpful.

My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different.

My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different. When I look at my backed-up iphoto library folder I see lots of files and folders: ALbumData.xml, Attachments folder, etc. The 9.6.1 iphoto library doesn't appear to be a folder at all. Help!

iPhoto 6 and earlier libraries were regular folders with the kind of files your reporting. With the advent of iPhoto 7 the library folder was changed to a package similar to the application packages but have essentially the same files and folders inside. There's no reason to have access to the inside of the iPhoto Library so Apple changed them to packages.
Do you have a backup copy of the iPhoto Library from before the HD crash. If so restore it to the Pictures folder in your Home folder. If you previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 or earlier download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before trying to open it with iPhoto 9.6.1.

I recently got more RAM as well as a new and bigger hard drive installed on my 2008 MacBook Pro. I backed up the files on an external hard drive, and now I want to be able to access those files (ie: my passwords from my old computer hard drive "keychain access") <= I can't remember them for the lyfe of me! I used "time machine" to transfer the information, but now I want to know how to access those files or import them...Please help! I don't want to have to pay $20 to talk to apple support

Please help!!! Cannot run Windows Update in Win 7 Pro after changing new hard-drive. (X201s)

Hi everyone,
I have been using my thinkpad x201s for more than one year by now. And recently I change a new and larger hard drive for my laptop. When I tried the thinkpad rescue and recovery disc on the new hard drive, everything works fine except that I cannot run Windows Updates after the installation was finished. The recovery DVDs were burned directly from the original image stored in the computer when the first I received my laptop last year.
Every time when I try to run the Windows Update, it shows the following: "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running, you may need to restart your computer."
I restarted my computer later but nothing changed. Can't run Windows Updates and can't even install IE9.
I then moved back to my old hard drive and everything is normal, no problem with Windows Updates. I also tried to create a back-up image by running win 7 Backups and Restore. Later when I changed back to the new drive and followed the instructions to restore my system from the image I created earlier in a USB drive, it worked except that still the system can't run Windows Updates program.
I'm now getting very confused and upset, is it something to do with the software copyright? It's been a week now and I tried to Google the similar problem but no solutions work here. All I want to do is moving my current system to the new hard drive so that I can continue to use my laptop but it just failed updating every time.
Could anyone kindly tell me what to do when changing hard drive in order to avoid the problem I'm dealing with? Sorry I'm not a pro type user and just want my laptop to work appropriately.
My warranty has already expired so I guess the Lenovo Technical Hotline wouldn't answer my questions anymore. Please help!! Much appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance!!

I'm not sure this is the issue, but from your description, it seems as though all you have to do is activate the windows update service. If I were you, I'd search for "Services" in the start menu, open it and look for "Windows Update". Check in its properties that it is set to "Automatic (Delayed)", if it isn't, set it, and start the service, you should then be able to check for updates, be careful though that none of your other programs aren't stopping the service, usually these programs are there to "optimize your performance" or "boost your system",...
Hope this helps.

Transfering Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to a new hard drive

I had to change hard drives and now need to re-install all my application programs. I was able to download Acrobat 9 Pro, but my licensed copy has now turned in to a 30 day trial and I don't know how to get a permanent licensed version. When I call up the software, I get a Software Setup screen that gives me two options. The first option, which is checked by default, is: "I have a serial number for this product." and a serial number is listed below. It is the same serial number I was issued when I purchased Acrobat 9 Pro.
So far so good. Then I click on next, and here is where the trouble begins. I get an Upgrade Check window with the following text:
The serial number you entered indicates that your setup is for a upgrade version of Adobe Acrobat Pro
To be eligible for this upgrade, you must already own qualifying product.
We looked in the default locations for qualifying products installed on this machine, but none were found.
You may verify upgrade eligibility without installing your previous software by completing the fields below.
Select a product you already own
Enter the serial number for this product
Acrobat 9 Pro is not listed in the drop down menu of product selections, so I am unable to get rid of my trial status.
Please help me. I am not trying to upgrade. I am just trying to download a replacement copy of Acrobat 9 Pro, which I already have a license for, on my new hard drive.
Thanks.

The message is indicating you are trying to install an upgrade version of the software, meaning when you purchased it, you purcjhased it as an upgrade to an earlier version. You need to provide proof that you meet the eligibility requirements by specifying the earlier version and submitting its serial number. If you believe you purchased the software as a full version and not an upgrade then you will need to contact Adobe Support directly by chat or phone to work things out.
Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

Satellite A30: Question about new Hard Drive

The hard drive on the above computer has failed. When formating the system hangs at 70%. When running a utility to recover the hard drive again it fails at 70%.
I am now looking at replacing the hard drive and would like to know can any 2.5" hard drive (speed/make/size) be used (non Sata).
I would have assumed it would not be a problem but there is no way of changing the settings in the Bios, does the Bios auto detect the drive when fitted?.
When fitting the hard drive can it be fitted through the access panel on the rear of the laptop or does the whole back need to be removed?
Thanks,
Keith.

Hi Keith,
The hard drive on the satellite A30 is located underneath the optical drive which must be removed from its slot first. To do this just undo one screw (F5 I think) underneath the notebook and the optical drive will then be free to slide forwards.
The hard drive will then be visible secured in place by four screws (2 on each side). Remove the screws and then pull the hard drive towards the front of the notebook to disconnect it from the connector.
You will need to transfer the mounting brackets to the new hard drive which is then inserted by reversing the above procedure.
The BIOS will automatically recognise the new drive.
If you choose a drive with a higher rotaional speed than the normal 4200RPM be careful of the extra heat that will be generated. I use a 5400RPM drive in my A30 and it does tend to warm up quite nicely when the drive is being used heavily.
regards,

Snow Leopard and new hard drive

I want to install a new hard drive in my MacBook and then restore from Time Machine. After I install the new hard drive do I have to reboot from the original OS X disk that came with my MacBook or can I just use the new Snow Leopard disk and restore from time machine?
If I can't reboot right from the Snow Leopard Disk would I have to restore from the original disk, then install Snow Leopard and then restore from time machine?

I did put snow leopard on... another thing don't see my time capsule in the finder left column??? any great ideas? can't wait to start with my TC... thnak you

Run out of Hard Drive space using Premiere Cs5- Can I save my work, buy and new hard drive?

I am in the middle of a project using premiere cs5 and I have run out of hard drive space. Can I save it, buy a new hard drive and install Premiere and then reopen it again without it effecting my project?

If you are talking about only having one drive for Windows and programs AND video data and project files, a better option is to buy a second drive and move your projects and video data files to the new drive

Can't recover software to Satellite L745-S4210 with new hard drive

Was using the laptop when it completely froze. Used power button to force shutdown. When restarted, hard drive was making a ticking noise and got this error message:
PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM
No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key.
Setup utility did not show the presence of a hard disk drive. Assumed that hard drive had gone back.
Purchased a new hard disk drive at MicroCenter. Toshiba 2.5-inch SATA 640GB drive, the same drive that came in the laptop from the factory. Also used the opportunity to upgrade RAM from 4MB to 8MB.
Installed new hard disk drive and new memory. Ordered the Recovery Disk set from Toshiba.
At startup, new hard drive doesn't tick. Setup utility sees a Toshiba hard disk drive. Got the "no bootable device" message. Inserted the first disk of the Recovery package and held down the C key, per instructions. System began to respond but then switched to Windows Boot Manager screen.
Here are the error messages:
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred
Reseated both new hard drive and new RAM. Tried again with same result. Reinstalled old RAM. Tried again with same result.
Now at a wall. What has gone wrong? Is the new hard disk bad? Bigger problem. The unit is outside the factory warranty.
Any help is appreciated.

File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred
I don't understand how that could appear when you boot from a recovery disc with a new hard drive in place. It implies there is something on the drive.
0xc00000e9 "Boot\BCD" "unexpected I/O error "
Maybe try another drive?

Final Cut Pro X and external hard drive problem

We are having trouble getting Final Cut Pro X to recoginse our external hard drive. It is works fine with i movie. We are very new to all of this and desperate for any help.
We have read a previous discussion that recommended we go to disk utilities and change format (currently saying windows ntfs) but worried if we either do "erase or partition 1 " we will erase everything off the external hard drive???
Thank you

We only have the one hard drive and originally formatted it thinking we would use it on a windows computer. Is it strange that it is recognised on I Movie but not FC? If we change the format to MacOS Extended (journaled) we are worried if we apply this it will erase what we have (as says something about this)? We are non tech people and don't know what we are doing!!!

PE 2 video track capacity and new hard drive

A three parter, as one leads to another.
In PE2 I am creating a view with the screen filled for about 10 seconds with a grid of 16 stills in a 4x4 square, peeling each one off quickly one by one. I have stacked the pix on 16 tracks. The software is running very slowly, and re-drawing a lot. I have the all project components (pixs) and the current version stored on an external hard drive. The program itself is on my internal c drive. The hard drive manufacturer says I may need to re-format the hard drive to NTFS (I also have other issues with the hard drive turning off mid-encoding, or not fully loading the program). Questions: (1) Is 16 stacked tracks too much for PE to handle? (2) If I copy the entire hard drive to a different hard drive (that is or is not formatted as NTFS) and then back to my original -- now NTFS formatted -- hard drive, will PE2 recognize the location of the files and use them, or will I need to recreate everything? (3) is there some other way to tell PE2 that the files have been moved, en mass, to a different file, and to look for, say, f/PE2/summervacation/kidsinsand rather than g/PE2/summervacation/kidsinsand?
Thanks.

Ned,
Normally, Premiere (I use the Pro version most of the time) will automatically locate Assets, in the same folder, when you point it to the first. However, I have had a few instances, where that did not trigger, and each Asset had to be re-linked manually. Why? I do not have a clue.
In my biggest Project, that exhibited this behavior, I was using very old versions of the Project in a newer version of P-Pro, AND it was a Mac version (earlier) going to a PC version (later). The Project files (PREL in PE) are but XML files with the links encoded. As stated, Premiere *usually* can find all Assets in the common folder.
One little trick that I learned, in the above case, was to check "Show Exact Match" box, once I navigated to the proper folder, and then for each additional file, I'd uncheck and then re-check that box. Each file would appear, and I'd choose "Open." Yes, a lot of clicks, and why they did not re-link automatically is still a mystery, as it *normally* takes care of all of the rest.
Now, unlike your example, once re-linked, and Saved, Premiere Pro DOES remember, as I would hope, and anticipate.
I'd do a Save_As_a_Copy, and locate this in a new folder. Maybe name it [Filename_New], and work from that. Obviously, keep your original Project. I wonder if there is some sort of corruption happening on these specific Projects. Remember, I am using Pro, and also going from a very old Mac version of the program to a newer PC version, but once you point to the folder, things *should* automatically take care of themselves, for all Assets in that folder.
I wish that I had a definitive answer, but my results have not done, as I would anticipate, or expect. Let us know how it goes, as there might be a clue in there someplace.
Good luck,
Hunt

Moving Adobe Acrobat XI Pro to a new hard drive

I have an installed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro program I use very often on my desktop computer. I installed it with a download install. I am about to transfer to using a new desktop computer and trying to figure out how to transfer the program to my new desktop hard drive without having to pay for it again. Any ideas on how I can transfer it?

Copy the download to the new computer and install. If you are not going to use the old computer any longer, you should deactivate the installation of Acrobat on that system. You are allowed 2 installs with your license for your personal use.

My old mac crashed and new hard drive has new Pages on it but I cannot open any documents. Says to save on 09, I had 08 but it crashed when the computer crashed. Now what?

Open with new Pages and it says my documents are too old, must be opened and saved in 09, but I don't have 09, just fragments of 08 from my crashed hard drive. What do I do now?

Do you still have your installer DVD?
Reinstall iWork '08 and upgrade it to v3.03:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=432&mforum=iworktips ntrick
Then open your documents and Export them to Word .doc/x to open in Pages 5.2.
You can also ask Apple to supply you with iWork '09 so you can access your work.
If that is unsuccessful, since Pages 5.2 is a severe downgrade, missing 110 features, get the iWork '09 boxed set from Amazon for $19.99.

Reinstall Windows 8 on workstation with no recovery media and new hard drive.

Hello. I am needing help with a specific request.
We have a workstation what is running Windows 8. The hard drive failed. The machine has no recovery media that was created, however it is orderable through HP.
With that in mind, where are the tools for IT Pros to reinstall Windows 8 from .ISO or USB media, as we could do in Windows 7 and previous versions?
Windows 8 keeps the license key stored in the BIOS from what I read, and one option is using an .ISO for Windows 8 from an MSDN account. The install will scan the BIOS for the key, find it, and will activate Windows 8.
We are Silver Partner. currently we are turning people away or telling them they must have their Factory Recovery Media for us to reinstall Windows 8 after hard drive failures, since we cannot find any .ISO available, and there is no plain Product Key on
the machine.

Hi ,
"one option is using an .ISO for Windows 8 from an MSDN account."I am afraid it will not work.
The copy of Windows that the OEM installs on a computer is valid only on that unique computer, so it can only be reinstalled and reactivated from the OEM-provided recovery media on that computer. So
I am afraid an .ISO for Windows 8 from an MSDN account won`t be activated automatically.
Here is link for reference:

1.I agree with britishdhez, the best way to solved this issue is contactting the manufacture for a recovery media.
2.As an alternative choice, there is a similar situation and Justin offers several other solutions. Here is the link for reference:
