Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01154809.pdf
Supported hard drive can be found in chapter 3 on page 29.
I don't know why there are different drives based on intel or amd hardware.
I also don't know why any decent brand 250 - 500 GB 7,200 RPM drive wouldn't work.

What type of hard disk should I use if I want to use it on mac and windows?

Hey Forum,
I am using windows xp on my macbook (snow leopard). I came across some dealers who say that there are hard disks for mac only and for both mac and windows. So, I wanted to buy a hard disk so that I can use it both on mac and windows xp, so what type of hard disk should I use? Must I partition into 2?
or are there any harddisk in the market which is compatible for both mac and windows xp without screwing up the format(NTFS/Mac OS X Journaled)? Pls look into this matter and help me with it.
All of your replies and suggestions is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Ala.

Run, don't walk, from that dealer! and never look back
Once in a very long while Apple will have customized firmware on drives, and it is possible to find SCSI/SAS or drives that are destined to be used with high end storage controllers.
But that is the exception that makes the rule.
SATA is SATA. Though.... there are now SATA III drives that don't work in XP, or that need a jumper, and Seagate and some drives have managed to deliver firmware that has caused trouble... and Apple has had to issue firmware updates to help compatibility....

New hard disk in a MacBook (2008) running 10.5.8 and also upgrade it to SL: What are the steps?

Hi -- I want to replace the hard disk in a MacBook that's running 10.5.8. I have a current TM backup.
I also want to upgrade it to 10.6 (SL), and I have the SL CD as well.
My assumption is I should first do the swap and then do the upgrade to SL.
Is the correct sequence to take out the old disk, then put in the new disk, then reboot, holding down a key (but which one?) to boot from the Time Machine disk? Then restore from the TM? Is there more to it than that?
Note that the old disk has a second partition w/ Windows installed on it. This is no longer required (nor is anything on that partition required). Am I correct that the restore from Time Machine will not re-configure/re-install such a partition?
If the above sequence is correct, then once the system is running again I would do the upgrade.
Alternatively, would it be better to upgrade to SL first -- and then swap disks?
I would appreciate some help -- thanks in advance!

Here's what I do:
How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your new 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. 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. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
      (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
      GUID then click on the OK button. 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
      Options 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.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.
As an alternative, after the drive is replaced you can boot from the Snow Leopard DVD and install Snow Leopard from scratch:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc. Insert the disc into the
         optical drive and restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the
         "C" key. Release the key when you see a small spinning gear appear below the
         dark gray Apple logo.
     2. 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.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, set the format type to Mac
         OS Extended (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Partition button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Problems vith Hard disk 2

Hallo!
As Barry Menphill knows well I had problems with an hard disk.
DiskWarrior recovered and I backed up (correct?) all my files (by luck!)
but I can't see the disk on desktop, DiskWarrior can't install new directories and
I can't initialize the disk with Disk Utility,
So:
is this disk good just for trash?
Is there an enough powerful application to inizialize the disk?
Do you think it's good have different systems in different hard disks?
Is Classic useful or just something creating confusion?
What is sense of life? (oops, I want too much!)
Sorry for my English
Thanks

Hi Franko
I can't help you with the sense, or meaning, of life, I'm afraid - perhaps more philosophical Apple users can chip in there...!
As for your hard drive, if it has had a failure, you should not rely on it for anything. All hard drives have a limited lifespan (after all, they are spinning thousands of times a minute for years), and once they die, that's it. And drives are getting cheaper all the time - so I would recommend you invest in a new one and trash this one.
Having different systems on different drives can be good, since it gives you an alternative if one drive fails. In fact, several backup utilities (eg Retrospect, Super Duper) give you the option of cloning a hard drive - which will give you an exact copy of your system on another drive. Or, different applications may have different system requirements - for example, I use a program called Avid Xpress which will not run on Tiger 10.4.7 or newer, so I have one system at 10.4.6 and another at 10.4.9.
Classic is only useful if you have legacy programs which require OS 9 to run.
Hope that helps!

You figure out how to do it on your OS using C/C++ code.
Then you write a wrapper in JNI to call your C/C++ code.

What is the best way to connect a hard disk?

Hi. I want to buy a hard disk (not a NAS device) and plug it into my Airport Extreme in order to share data between two Mac computers, and to stream iTunes content to my Apple TV.
One option is to purchase a hard drive (say, a 2TB Hitachi G-Technology drive) and connect it to the USB port on the back of the Apple Extreme. The other option is to purchase a drive with an ethernet connection (say, a 2TB Lacie drive) and connect it to an ethernet port on the Apple Extreme.
Which is the better option? Will I see any significant difference in performance accessing the data on the hard drive from my Mac computers via the USB option versus the ethernet option? Is either option better for streaming movies from the hard drive to my Apple TV?
Thank you.

In the second case what you'd have actually is a NAS. Apple's AirPort routers aren't known for fast file sharing. The NAS option might be faster.

I could be wrong, but an AppleTV may not be able to access content directly from a network drive. It may require that a Mac serve as an intermediary.

What type of hard disk should i use

I have a imac 27 inch late 2013 , 3,5mhz Intel i7.
I want to get a hard disk to store photos and others.
what do you suggest.
Thanks

I am going to assume you already have at least 1 high quality backup disk. If you do not that should be your #1 priority. NEVER use a backup disk to also store data files though!!!
However back to your original question and off my soapbox! Many experienced users on these forums prefer OWC (www.macsales.com) Mercury Elite Pro series of EHD. Very high quality, reasonable cost and excellent service. Here is the link to get you started:

HD. What is the biggest ultra-ATA hard disk out
there?
The largest drive out there that will fit in your Powerbook is 160GB. I have a seagate 160GB drive in my 1GHz 17 inch PowerBook. Newegg lists it for $109.99.

Can I use an SATA HD?
No you cannot use a SATA drive.

HT1349 How to format my hard disk and restart

THis aftrnoon my system wouldn't start. a black screen with OS X utility. Now I want to format my hard disk and install OS. X

Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.

Replacing T510 hard disk - 2 questions...

Hello All,
I have a T510 with 320Gb hard disk. I want to replace the hard disk with something with more capacity. I have 2 questions:
Will this void my warranty - I have 500+ days left
Can I take a complete copy of the hard disk and have all my applications and settings work exactly as they did on the old disk?
Thanks in advance,
James
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just as The Dude says. I swap my drives weekely in my T510. I use Acronis True Image and create Rescue Media on a Thumb drive. I boot to it and clone my internal HDD to an external eSATA drive. That takes 8+ minutes. I then swap drives and clone from the external eSATA to the new internal drive. When done, I remove the thumb drive and boot to the new drive - now exactly a duplicate of what is on the eSATA external.
This was, I have two complete backups of everything - and when I travel, I carry the "reserve" HDD in a small neoprene bag.
If you use the Ultrabay adapter, you can clone drive to drive internally.

Reformatting Hard Disk - any problems with CC?

I want to reformat my hard disk and start again - its got to that point where the PC seems to be running slowly and the OS needs re-installing. It's Windows 7 Pro 64-bit version.
Does anyone know if there are any issues with re-installing CC? I'm worried that doing this will use up one of my licenses and I won't be able to put a copy on my laptop in the future. (We're allowed two copies aren't we, one on the PC and one on a Laptop, for example?)
Thanks for any help.
Brian

Hi Brianpeart,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
The CC has been activated twice.
you can deactivate it in two ways.
1. Launch any of the CC application and go to Help>Sign Out(Adobe ID)
For CS6 apps Go to Help>Deactivate
2.Go to Preferences of Creative Cloud and in "General" tab click on "Account" and click the button "Sign Out from Creative Cloud".
Note:
It will deactivate all applications associated with your Adobe ID installed on the same machine.
or
When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.(To deactivate from preinstalled machine, Open any Adobe CC application > Help Menu > Signout.)
Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.
You have already deactivated it from one machine, hence you can activate it on third computer.
