  • What hard drive can I put in a touchsmart iq800? This is the 3rd time it's crashed.

    I have a touchsmart iq800 with windows 7, 64 bit. This is the 3rd time I've had a hard drive failure in 2 1/2 years.  I am not too familiar with computer lingo and need to know what type of hard drive to get. I called hp and they wouldn't tell me anything because I'm out of warranty. I know I have a seagate. At this point, I want something entirely different. If someone could just tell me what name, #, etc of a hard drive, I can order one. I've installed 2 already and am getting good at it. Not sure if that's good or not! thanks in advance. 

    The iq800 appears to be a series number and not a model or product number. Please provide the full HP model name and/or product number of the computer in question for accurate assistance.

  • What hard drives can be installed into a MBP?

    I'm looking at options for upgrading the internal hard drive on my MBP, and have noticed that there are 250GB 2.5" drives available (e.g. http://www.skycomp.com.au/productinfo.php?productsid=67390). Can you install any old 2.5" drive into a MBP? If so, how hard is it to do? Are there any common gotchas with trying to image the old drive to the new one, esp. when using BootCamp?
    Any help much appreciated. Apologies if this is a noob question.

    *"Can you install any old 2.5" drive into a MBP?"*
    Yes, as long as it's a SATA and not an IDE/ATA drive.
    *"If so, how hard is it to do?"*
    Instructions can be found at http://www.ifixit.com
    Keep in mind though, that if you do decided to install it yourself you run the risk of voiding the computer's warranty.

  • What hard drive can I upgrade with on iMac intel early 2010

    what hard drive can I upgrade with on iMac intel 27 inches early 2010

    You can install any 3'5" SATA hard drive on a Late 2009 iMac. Have a look at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/hard_drives_and_SSD
    Note that Late 2009 and later iMacs have got the temperature sensor inside the hard drive. If you install a hard drive without a sensor, fans won't work correctly. Read > http://blog.macsales.com/2751-proprietary-cable-can-put-the-brakes-on-upgrading- late-09-imacs

  • How large of a hard drive can i put in my Macbook Pro (early 2011)

  • Which hard drives can I put in my 120gb ipod classic? 30gb, 60gb, 80gb or only a 120gb?

    which hard drives can I put in my 120gb ipod classic? 30gb, 60gb, 80gb or only a 120gb?

    Physically, the small capacity hardisk (60,80) are thicker at 8mm,
    while the 120gb is thinner at 5mm,
    there are some thin hardrive 30 GB (MK3006GAL), 60GB (MK6015GAL) and 80GB (MK8022GAA).
    The firmware 2.0 should be able to handle upto 160GB.hardrive.
    However the difficulty, is opening the iPod case, and getting the thin hardrive or else your iPod case wont close, better stick to 120GB.

  • What Hard Drive Can I use?

    Ok stupid question time. I want to get a firewire enclosure and put 3.5 hard drive in it for my mac mini. Can I buy any old hard drive and jam it into the box or do I have to buya hard drive that is specific for the Mac? I mean are hard drives mac or pc specific or are the just hard drives and formatted to the pc or mac when you buy them? I am sorry for the dumb question but I have been a PC user for years and am pretty new to the Mac world (only 1 year so far). Thanks for the reponse.

    Just curious what should I be looking for with
    regards to the enclosure? I mean is the Vantec
    Nextstar 355 the only one I can use? I was hoping to
    find one a little cheaper than $69.
    I'm new to Mac as well. I've only had mine about 2 months. As far as HDD Exclosures, you should be able to find an enclosure for less than $69. A couple things to look out for when buying an enclosure is to look at the drive size capability. I've seen enclosures that at in the $30 price, but some stop at the 200Gb size range, where the ones in the $70 range, will support the larger drives like 500Gb. Now, this isn't always the case, as I have seen some expencive enclosures that don't support beyond 200Gb drives.
    Now, if you decide to buy the enclosure, and drive as seperate pieces, you're drive will most likely not be partitioned, or formatted, as this is normally the case with boxed Western Digital, Maxtor, etc... So you'd need to take care of that with the Drive Utility that's part of your Mac after it's in the enclosure and connected to the Mac.
    As a side note, I was down at my local CompUSA and they had a 160 Gb External LaCie Firewire drive at $139.00. This was a better buy for me, as I didn't need to buy the components, didn't need to put them together, and was less money than buying a 160Gb drive and enclosure. The LaCie drive was formatted FAT32, which I quicly changed to the Mac Journaled File System.

  • What size Hard Drive can I put in my iBook?

    Hello all,
    I have a 12 inch 800 MHz iBook. The 30GB internal drive failed on me a couple days ago. Good thing for external drives:). Anywho, I'm just wondering what the biggest size drive I can get for a replacement?
    Thanks for any and all help,
    Dan

    I just upgraded my iBook today with a Samsung 120gb(111gb formatted), 5400rpm Hard Drive. So far it runs smoothly and zips a little faster than the factory 40gb. It took me time and patience but it can be done, I also bought a Panasonic DVD burner, with patchburn(free software online) it works great too.

  • What Hard drives can unplug into my Airport Extreme?

    Can I plug a normal flash stick into the AirPort Extreme or do only powered external hard drives work with it.

    Make sure that USB flash drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT 32 before you plug it into the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.

  • How much hard drive can i put in?

    I just recently purchased a Mac Pro from early 2006. It has the 2 X 2.0GHz Dual Core (4 core) Xenon 5130 processors  with 2 GB of Ram. It came with 250 GB of hard drive space which I am looking to expand. However, I would like to know what the maximum capacity the processors and/or Ram can handle so that way I don't destroy the computer. So, does anyone know?

    RAM. You do want more no matter what. Amazon: 2x2GB $36 and I would get at least two for 8GB (and pull the 2GB you have)
    Disks: $110 will buy you:
    1TB WD Black / 128GB SSD / WD 10K VelociRaptor 250GB all good solid and improvement
    And do not put all your files on the one drive. Use the four disk bays: system, data, backup at least.
    $300 with work and tutorials on MacRumors and Youtube a pair of 5355 2.66's 8-core
    Same system I have and still going better than before.
    And ATI 5770 or something but you will not be able to boot from any DVD or pre-10.6.5 system.

  • How many hard drives can you put in a pavilion p2

    Can I put one or two more hard drives into a Pavilion p2 1122? Is there a particular spec or physical size that this must be?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Your HP Pavilion p2-1122 Desktop Computer only has space for one hard drive in it... the one installed at the factory. The only way to add any more drive internally, is to remove the CD/DVD and use that space, or to fabricate and install a drive cage... room permitting.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • How big a hard drive can I put in my mac

    Hello everyone,
    Inspired from succefully putting a new DVD-RAM burner in my iMac G4 800Mhz (thanks to this forum for helping me get the jumper switch setting right) I have now ordered a 250GB hard drive with the plan to open up my blob again and exchange the hard drive.
    However, I have heard that the computer might not recognise a HD this big and that 128GB might be the maximum. Can anyone confirm/deny/agree anything on this? I am running on 10.3.9.
    Also (while I'm here asking questions) can you tell me something else. If I put in the new hard drive, boot up with my OS 10.3.9 discs and instal the OS will that all then work and be fine? I have a new external case for the old HD so after the instal I plan to transfer my photos and music across to the new HD.
    Thanks everyone.

    imac G4 flat screen 800Mhz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I have a machine like yours 800mhz G4 iMac and I installed a Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 250gb disk - much noiser than the Maxtor I took out but Seagate is one of the most reliable right now. I think you can put in any ATA100 disk, remember to set the jumpers on the new drive exactly the same as the one you're taking out (mine was master with DVD as slave but sometimes its the other way round).
    I also installed a Pioneer DVR110 (now with firmware version 1.37 Region Free), and a 512mb stick of ram internally & 512mb sodimm on the base whilst I was at it.
    My machine is just over 3 years old and i noticed that the heat conductive grease on the CPU had dried out so I removed the heatsink and carefully scraped of the dried stuff and reapplied a thin film of new silver based grease.
    Don't forget to re-grease the other parts of the imac chasis to allow dissipation of heat.

  • Replaced dying hard drive, can't boot into installer

    Well, this is always fun.
    My hard drive was dieing in my 12-inch Powerbook (last-model, I believe), so I ordered a bigger one and just finished installing it.
    So, I try to boot to my 10.5 installer disk, and it gets to the Apple logo for about a minute, occasional DVD drive noise, and then freezes. Even the little spinny thing stops spinning. Sometimes there are vertical, dotted lines running through the darker areas, sometimes not.
    It was doing this when my previous hard drive was dieing, and that was on 10.4. I can now and could then log into single-user mode, but no GUI. I've tried everything I can think of, and nothing's worked thus far.
    Any help? My laptop is completely dead without an OS, and I've got school work and a programming internship that largely rely on my laptop.

    sheez
    I'm really ashamed of these forums. Doesn't anyone here even know how to ask intelligent questions?
    I managed to rip apart some of the info from the Single User mode, purchased a new set of OS disks, ran the hardware test, and discovered the video RAM had failed the test.
    ANY of those should have been suggested by someone with some repair knowledge. Non-booting? Did you ask about the hardware test built into the OS disks? Noooo, I had to find that out , and run it, myself. Problem not solved by replacing hard drive? Gee...
    Strange vertical lines on a boot screen where there shouldn't be any? Mayhaps it's video related? Hmmm? Even if you were wrong, it'd have been SOMETHING to try, instead of silence.
    Maybe I should just amble around here and show you people how to help people. I've had almost NO help (often no replies, either) for most of my questions on this forum, despite offering more information than most, and I ultimately have solved most of them myself, when they didn't resolve themselves.

  • How Big a Hard Drive can I put in my macbook?

    I'm looking to upgrade my internal hard drive, is there a limit on the size I can upgrade to? I have a 150G drive, and I'm running out of space. I'm thinking about going for the gold, and getting a 1T...  any recommendations?
    Thanks!

    Unless it is a Unibody Macbook, you must deal with the 9.5mm height restriction. Try to get a hard drive with a 3 year warranty if you can. Also if the machine is pre-2009, make sure the drive is compatible with SATA-I at 1.5 Gbps data transfer.  If it is 2009, there might be a firmware to install before it can use a faster drive. 2010 and later usually need no firmware update.
