What do I need to do to replace my 80 gig HDD with a larger capacity HDD?

I have an older Mac mini, running OSX 10.6.8 @ 1.83 GHz w/2 GB ram.   It is used primarily for email, iPhone photo storage, and online banking. Works, but now I am out of memory. rather than buy a new unit, I'd prefer to replact the 80 GB HDD with a larger capacity drive. What do you recommend?

No such thing as a "PC hard drive".      Im sure it comes formatted in MSDOS or otherwise, ...doesnt mean anything.
  Ive got a 100 drives laying around here, most came formatted in DOS or Exfat or NTFS , just formatted all of them for Mac.
format the HD as Mac OSX extended journaled ,....takes 5 seconds.
CLONING:
1. grab carbon copy cloner or superDuper CLONE app.
2 attach target clone drive via USB in an enclosure or HD dock. Firstly format the target (external new) HD or SSD in disk utility in “Mac OS extended journaled”
3. clone internal HD to target HD or SSD (external) [takes about 40 mins depending on size]
4. Boot ONCE from external (go to sys. preference to boot from external) to TEST the new Clone
5. open bottom (see videos on ifixit or youtube on same) and remove old, install new.

Done
(FIRST TIME after installing,  boot will be SLOW,...normal and ignore that).
Clone APPS
Superduper does not clone the recovery partition, but that is NOT necessary if you keep the original HD as a “backup clone”. Most don’t bother with the recovery partition in a clone, however that is your prerogative.

My 80 gb drive has about 1 gb available,
Sounds like an old drive there.......  nice Hitachi or Toshiba 1TB external drive is average $70
Time for a new (additional)  archive HD for data protection.

  • Re: Toshiba M10: replacing 7k200 HDD with Advanced Format" 7K750 HDD

    Can anyone see any problems with replacing the original Hitachi TravelStar 7K200 (200GB) hard drive, which came in my two-year-old Toshiba Tecra M10-11X, with a so-called "Advanced Format" 7K750 (750GB or perhaps 640GB) hard drive?
    Like the original I would like to dual-boot the new drive using three partitions:
    * Windows 7 32-bit
    * Data
    * Windows XP
    and would probably clone one disk to the other (increasing the partition sizes!) using v5 of Macrium Reflect.
    I've read up on the TravelStar 7K750 specs, the Hitachi Alignment Tool, the Microsoft KnowledgeBase article 982018 "An update that improves the compatibility of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with Advanced Format Disks is available", Bit-tech's http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/sto...t-hard-disks/1, and so on, but wonder whether anyone has actually replaced the original hard drive with any Advanced Format disk, and so might have some experience to share?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    I dont have an experience using such Advanced Format" 7K750 HDD but in my opinion it should not be a big problem using such HDD.
    The notebook supports SATA interface and if this HDD would also support the SATA controller, then the HDD should be recognized too
    But of course this is my personal opinion...

  • What do I need to make 32bit games play on x86-64 with intel gm965?

    I have been trying to get a bunch of 32bit games to play on x86-64 with no luck.
    Ive tried quake4, prey, and now doom3 and all seem to have the same issues. They start to work and the screen goes black, then it just goes right back to the desktop.
    I have installed the entire lib32 group, and still no luck.  I even tried install lib32-intel-dri from aur but still no luck.
    Do I still use lib32-nvidia-utils with an intel chipset, because thats what gets installed by default when i install the lib32 group?
    Here is the output from doom3 (quake4, and prey had a very similar output where they all said idRenderSystem::Shutdown() but I already removed the packages out of frustration so I dont have the outputs from them, Im pretty sure its probably the same exact problem with all of them though)

    Dump lib32, get a 32-bit chroot, and run with schroot -p "your game"
    Within your chroot you'd need to have the intel drivers installed in a version exactly matching your main system's. It takes a bit more HD space (less than 1 GB), but you get a much easier system since you're using the packages maintained in the repos by devs/TUs instead of lib32 packages maintained (primarily) by volunteers for their own specific system.

  • What cables are needed to extend the range of my airport extreme with my time capsule

    I just purchased a new Time Capsule, and I want to install it and use my current Airport Extreme to extend our home's wireless network. What extra cables are needed, and is there a diagram for this setup? We currently have a broadband network.

    Apple's instructions to do this are here:

    You will need an Ethernet cable to connect your new Time Capsule to the AirPort Extreme.

  • Replacing old TC with new larger capacity TC and using old TC as an external HDD

    I currently have a 500GB 1st gen TC.  I am running out of space for back ups and running out of room on my iMAC HDD.  I would like to purchase a nw 2TB TC to back up both my iMAC, macbook, and expected Macair when the new ones are released.
    Questions:
    1. Can I use the old TC as an external HDD only?  I would like to place my iTunes Library and photos on it so it is visilble accross the network via wi-fi.
    3.  If I move my libraries is there a method to make them available to me when I travel via the internet?  Or is this the upcoming cloud sharing I've heard so much about? 
    2. My understanding from vaious discussions is that I can not connect the old TC (via the TC USB port) directly to the the new TC and have the old one continuously backed up to the new one (iMAC---new TC usb---old TC).  In other words, if I were to move my itunes and photo media to the 500GB old TC then they would not be backed up.  However, what if I conencted the old TC directly to the iMAC? 
    old TC----iMAC---new TC
    Would it back-up to the new TC now?  Can I connect it to the iMAC ethernet port or would i have to use the USB connection?
    3.  Can I daisy chain them together in a way that the new TC will backup both the iMAC and the old TC?
    iMAC---old TC----new TC

    You can connect a USB drive to the TC, and back up some or all of your Macs to it instead of the TC's internal HD.  See #Q2 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.
    And you can put other data there, too, such as your iTunes library, but for best results you'll want to partition the disk. Otherwise, Time Machine will, eventually, use up all the empty space.
    Also note that Time Machine cannot back up from any network drive, so you'll need to find an alternative way to back up that "other" data.  The Chronosync app might be viable.

  • Can I replace the curent hard drive with a larger one in my early 08 Book

    OK - we have had this machine for alittle over a year. I bought it as a refurb from Mac (my personal favorite way to buy anything Mac) and we are running out of space. I have all of our pics on an external HD but still have the music on the main HD of the MacBook.
    I know that the options of putting my iTunes library on the external is always there, but I HATE HATE HATE having things not on my machine. Things never seem to work just right when they are accessed remotely. Maybe I am not doing something right with the networking, but there seems to always be a delay. With the music, we have Airport connecting 2 remote sets of speakers and the AppleTV and there seems to be a delay even empty spots in the music when I am playing it remotely.
    SO - what options do I have on the internal HD of my MacBook or can you make suggestions on the remote synching of the external HD and libraries, etc.
    Many thanks for your help!
    David

    If you want to upgrade the HDD to 320GB/500GB and then upgrade the RAM to 4GB:
    RAM you want to buy:

  • Replacing PS4 HDD with an old 1TB HDD

    Hello Everyone, I have recently bought a PS4 which will be delivered within 1-2 days. I really wanted a larger Hard drive as I think 500 GB won't be enough for me so I decided that I will upgrade my HDD to 1 TB before using my PS4. I have a 1 year old external Hard drive samsung m8 1TB which I wanted to use in my PS4. the problem is that the hard drive has corrupted twice in past. I used to watch 1080P MKV movies on my Samsung LED TV but it started getting corrupted and unreadable and only way to use it again was to format it and yes I did it twice only. I was using my old PS3 controller usb cable for my hard drive to connect it with my computer or LED TV. My concern is, would I be able to use it on my PS4 without any issue? As it might be the USB cable which would be causing my external hard drive to be corrupted or my LED TV or due to the data which I was containing in my Hard disc. Even If it may corrupt in future, will it damage or affect my PS4 negatively because if it will not harm my PS4 than i will give it a try so I can put back the original PS4 500 GB HDD if my hard disk corrupts again. Thanks!

    I wouldn't risk it if the hdd has had problems in the past it will have problems again. Do you want to install hundreds of gigs of data only to discover 3 or 4 months down the line the hdd has gone corrupt again.
    1tb hdd are cheap nowadays may as well buy a new one and give yourself peace of mind that you won't have problems a few months down the line.
    It wouldn't damage ps4 just cause a bit of inconvenience as you would have to format the drive again. Then spend hours downloading and installing everything again. different subject, how do you have a a sign with your id under your comment how do i get it?

  • What is the need of creating New order type in PO

    Dear Experts,
                 I have a doubt in MM, what is the need of creating New Order Types?  Please explain with Business scenario.  Thanking you,
    Regards,
    Elangovan.A

    Hi Elangovan
    Whenever you have a doubt like this...
    --- just verify the config settings for your parameter (order type here).
    ---Also check whether authorizations can be given for this ?
    ---Do you need it for specific analysis ? Are there standard reports/listings available ?
    So, some of the uses of order type are:
    1) What are the parameters controlled by order type ?
    It controls the number ranges and screen layouts etc. So, if you want to have different set of number ranges and different screen settings, then you may need a new order type.
    2) Authorizations can be controlled with order type.
    3) You can also use it in analysis/listings
    Best regards

  • Zfd4.01 remote control via desktop4.exe. What rights are needed?(repost, seems to have been stuck in wrong thread)

    Hi.
    Trying to give some non-admin users the right to remote control workstations via the user object. I have followed the tids/documentation for
    this when using ConsoleOne and that works just fine.
    When trying to remote control a user object with desktop4.exe (dopps zenwsbrowser actually) there seems to be some rights missing. Making the
    user into an admin solves the problem and until the remote controlled user changes IP on his workstation it keeps on working even when removing
    admin rights.
    So the question is simply put:
    What rights is needed on user AND workstation objects to remote control with desktop4.exe? Or if someone knows how I can check what attributes
    has changed on a user after a remote control has been performed that would be sweet too.

  • Picking up a Canon 60d, what do I need to know?

    I've been using a Canon XH-A1 HDV camcorder and am making the switch over to a Canon DSLR for video (Canon 60D). I know from reading that the video files the 60D records is not 100% compatible with Final Cut Express, so what do I need to know about using the files in projects with FCE? Do I need to convert them with a separate application on my mac or can I just import the files into FCE and convert them in there before I edit?
    Any input about using a DSLR for video (60d or 7d) would be a great help!
    Thanks in advance!

    The iPhone does NOT support Bluetooth synch to other phones.  You need to export your phone contacts to a computer to a program such as Address Book or Outlook and then synch those contacts to your iPhone using iTunes.
