Tecra S5 - After replacing the HDD I can't install Windows XP

I cannot boot from CD, I have tried by booting from CD through BIOS, by pressing "C" but I had no luck.
Any ideas?

Hi
Either you CD/DVD drive starts to malfunctions and you would not be able to boot from any disk or the CD/DVD drive does not handle only this certain disk.
You could try to bun/copy the disk and could try to boot using the copied CD.
In many cases the CD/DVD drive cannot read only one, certain disk. This happens due to old CD/DVD firmware.
Try to copy the disk using another computer maybe it will work if not, then you need to change the ODD.

  • Toshiba Tecra S3 - New SSD stuck on JBOD, can't install windows on it

    I just got myself a Kingston V series 64gb SSD drive, but I'm unable to have it detected by windows installers.
    After looking around, I found that drives in Tecra S3 have to be on "1RAID 0" and not JBOD to enable windows to
    be installed on it. (unless you use the recovery CD, which I don't have right now, even if I wanted to use it)
    I also found that the "string" needed to get the BIOS to change it when you get to "execute creation"
    is 1,2,3,4, [enter].
    But here's the catch : +the BIOS ignores the string.... +
    I type the string, 1234, [enter], and it cancels my desired change as if I said NO and set it back to JBOD.
    (if I don't type the right string, it just get out of it but stays 1raid0 and "execute creation" is still there)
    I tried on one of my other drives, and it worked fine, but for some reason this drive doesn't seem to want me to do it.
    I tried the drive on USB (works fine) and the BIOS sees it for what it is, so the drive is working well (from my testing)
    Any Ideas on what to do now would really be appreciated, I'm running out of ideas on what I didn't do correctly
    Thanks!

    Hi

    Did you include the RAID driver into Windows before you have tried to install OS again?
    On the Toshiba European driver page you can find the RAID driver which should be included while Windows installation setup.
    Regarding the BIOS RAID change;
    Im not quite sure but it could be possible that you cannot change the RAID option due to the SSD drive.
    If other HDDs work properly and if the RAID can be changed using an common HDD then the issue is related to the new SSD drive.
    Maybe you need to update the firmware on the SSD drive check it.

  • Can't install Windows 10 on Yoga 2 13 inch

    Hello, I have a Yoga 2 13 inch with the 500GB Hybrid drive.  When i try to upgrade to Windows 10, either via internet connection or USB drive created with MediaCreator, I get the message: "You can't install Windows on a USB flash drive using setup" It seemt that setup is seeing the Hybrid drive's 32GB of flash as if it were an external USB drive. Anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks,Ski

    Yes, you should check the Disk Management also again. The SSD should be displayed there, if it is not being displayed then change the Boot Mode from UEFI to Legacy and try to install windows. (And Yes SecureBoot needs to be Disabled)
    Ideally, the SSD should be initialized first from the Disk Management (But after all tries if you still can't see it, just try the above method.

  • Qosmio X500-10W - Can I replace the HDD with another one?

    Hello
    I have a Qosmio X500-10W with two HDD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500GB 5400RPM 8MB ??SATA II but is one of hs so I wonder if I can be replaced by a more powerful style HDD 750GB 7200tr / min 16MB Toshiba course?
    merci

    Hey,
    Your question is a little bit hard to understand but I think you want to replace the HDD with another (faster) model, right?
    Well, thats no problem. HDDs with 7200rpm will work, they are a little bit louder but they are faster so if you need more performance no problem.
    Also 750GB or more is no problem because SATA interface is not capacity limited. Theoretically 1TB or more should also work.
    Anyway, you can buy the 750GB you mentioned it will work. :)

    Just how do you do an internet recovery on a system that has a blank HDD with no operating system that the unit cannot boot from????
    If your Mac came preinstalled with Lion or Mountain Lion after you install your new blank HDD, restart the Mac while pressing/holding the COMMAND+OPTION+R keys until you see a spinning globe. Make sure you have an Internet connection (WiFi or Ethernet). This will boot into Apple's Recovery HD servers and present you with the OS X Utilities Menu. From there you can select Disk Utility to format your new HDD and then reinstall Mac OS X for the OS that was preinstalled.
    Internet Recovery doesn't care if you have an unformated HDD because it boots over the Internet to Apple's servers, not your HDD.

  • After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and itunes, it seems that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior..

    After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and my ipod (Classic 160gb) it would seem that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior to the original harddrive's failure for Tiger OSX 10.4.11
    Any ideas on the subject would be most helpful
    Thanks in advance
    Dingoh

    The last security update released for Tiger users was the 2009-005 update. The latest version of QuickTime is 7.6.4. The last version of iTunes that can run on Tiger is 9.2.1, because 10.0 only supports Mac OS X Leopard and later.
    So, are you on version 9.2.1?
    Was it Tiger or Leopard you had on the drive before?
    iTunes 9.2.1 download...

  • Replacing the HDD on a Satellite M50-A-110

    Hi,
    I just bought a new Satellite M50-A-110 and I wanted to replace the HDD that came with the laptop with my existing SSD.
    Unfortunately, there is no way (that I could find) to reach the HDD bay.
    In the previous versions I could replace it with no hassle at all, but here the whole bottom panel is made out of a single piece of plastic that I couldn't remove.
    Can somebody please help me out?
    Is there a trick in removing the bottom panel that I'm not aware of?
    Thank you for your assistance in advance and all the best,

    Hi
    Well, the HDD as well as the memory modules or battery are placed under the plastic cover at the bottom of the unit.
    You will have to remove the whole plastic cover to get access to such parts.
    From my knowledge there are 12 screws securing the bottom cover.
    Then you could gently remove the logic lower from the upper by prying the edge of the lower from the right corner.

  • High temperatur​e after replacing the CPU T2500 - T7200 in T60

    After replacing the CPU from T2500 to T7200 CPU temperature ranges from 70-85C. It seems to me high, I think about replacing thermal grease or thermal paste application. What's better? Do away with the original gray ribbon and attach a new heatsink or better smear toothpaste?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    there was a test done and toothpaste came out close to most themal paste.
    artic 5 should never be used in a laptop.
    it silver and thats a no no on mobile cpu.
    use a non conductive one or a thermal pad.
    the gray ribbon is a themal pad best to use WHAT CAME IN IT.
    reason is that can be a shim and do away with that and no contact.
    you went from a 31 watt to a 34 watt TDP not alot but it gonna run hot.
    75-80 c is hot yea but you have 65nm cpu class thats gonna run hot because it old and getting a lot of work.
    so you all know toothpaste might been used in tests but i not use because it can dry out and you dont know whats in in exacly.
    thermal wise i do belive whats in toothpaste is very good thermal wise but stick with the gray ribbon.
    Please disregard the above post(er).
    I've used AS5 on thousands of ThinkPads with no ill effects, actually the exact opposite. Minimal research of experiences posted by other owners on Bill Morrow's ThinkPad Forum will confirm this statement as well. Arctic Silver is as good as it gets unless one wants to spend $50 for a tube of thermal paste.
    To OP, your machine is running way too hot for the CPU in question. My 15" T60p with T7600 idles under 50 degrees C, and doesn't go over 62 in normal use. And yes, it has AS5 in it.

  • Anybody have problems restoring Iphone 4 for verizon after replacing the LCD

    anybody have problems restoring Iphone 4 for verizon after replacing the LCD

    i didnt replace the screen on my verizon iphone, but i have had several problems in the past with restoring, however they are always easily solved for me by plugging into another computer and restoring from there once its restored off that computer you can then plug back into your computer and put your info back on.
    also remember to copy the ipsw from your iphone software updates folder onto a flash drive and onto the computer you are using to update to save yourself form downloading the ipsw on that computer (if it is not already on that computer). then just do an option restore by holding option key when you hit restore and select the ipsw you want to restore to.
    hope this helps

  • Replacing the hdd to a ssd.

    I would like to know if the action of replacing the hdd will void the warranty, and also which is the size of the hdd?

    Hi:
    There should be no problem with the warranty as long as you don't break something trying to install the HDD.
    HP will not support the SSD however and your recovery disks won't work because the new drive will need to be the same size as the 500 GB HDD you removed.
    I have a workaround for the recovery disk issue...
    According to your PC's system specs it came with W7 Home Premium 64 bit.
    It has to be the English, French or Spanish version too.
    If so, download the W7 Home Premium 64 bit ISO file at the link below.
    Burn the file to a disk using a DVD burning program that can burn ISO files so the DVD is bootable.
    Burn at the slowest speed you can.
    Then use the 25 character product key on the bottom of your notebook to activate the installation.
    Visit your notebook's support and driver page to install any drivers you need.

  • [NB] X4200 RAID1 question - steps after replacing a HDD?

    Hi,
    I got an X4200 machine with LSI RAID controller, 2 HDD, configured as RAID1.
    Question - after replacing a HDD, do I need to do anything for the data to be sunched on the new HDD, or is that automatic?
    TIA,
    P.S - looking at doc 819-1157-21 (Sun Fire x4200 service manual) sections E.4.1.1 & E.4.7 makes me more confused instead of answering my question...

    Found it - http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4933-13 chapter 2, hot swapping - "The firmware supports hot swapping. The hot-swapped disk is automatically re-synchronized in the background, without any host or user intervention. The firmware detects hot swap removal and disk insertion. Following a hot swap event, the firmware readies the new physical disk by spinning it up and verifying that it has enough capacity for the mirrored volume. The firmware re-synchronizes all hot-swapped disks that have been removed, even if the
    same disk is re-inserted. In a two-disk mirrored volume, the firmware marks the hot-swapped disk as the secondary disk and marks the other mirrored disk as the
    primary disk. The firmware re-synchronizes all data from the primary disk onto the new secondary disk."

  • Hi, please, anybody knows how many coolers has an iMac 27 Intel core i5? The widget iStatpro shows 3. I changed my HD (the previous one of 1TB crashed) and after that the HDD cooler is constantly working at 4.600 rpm. Anybody is facing this problem?

    Did you replace the HD yourself? If so what HD did you use?
    You should be aware that the symptom you describe is likely to be because you've used an incompatible HD. The current Macs have the temperature sensor actually in the HD package, with a modified cable to connect to the logic board.
    If the sensor is not in circuit, the fans will run full tilt all the time.
    Also, if it was under warranty, I think you'll find you've just voided it.
