What type of hard drive for a first gen 20" iMac PPC

Do I need an EIDE drive? ATA?

They use ATA or PATA drives. Visit OWC for replacement drives.

  • What type of hard drive replacement should i use to replace the hard drive in my first generation mac min 2005 model a 1103?

    what type of hard drive replacement should I use to replace the hard drive on my first generation mac mini model a 1103?   G4 1.25 mhz 40 gb hd 1 gb. mem.

    You'll need a 2.5" parallel ATA interface hard drive. Most are 5400RPM, forget 7200RPM drives and slower 4200rpm drives.  You don't want a serial ATA (SATA) drive, as that has a different connector and won't work.
    One source I've used for drives is Newegg, and their parallel ATA hard drives are at http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007605%2060000344 2&IsNodeId=1&name=IDE%20Ultra%20ATA100%20%2f%20ATA-6 .  Newegg also has many user comments about the drives. Other sources are OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ (Click on ATA on the left) . Look for at least a 3 year warranty.

  • What type of hard drive is in my hp1000

    what type of hard drive is in my hp1000 it has taken a dirt nap and i will need to get a new one

    Hi:
    Please enter the product number for your notebook in the applicable box at the link below.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/siteHome?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=228&sw_lang=&product=top
    The product # can be found on the same sticker as the serial number.
    Then you will be directed to the support and driver page for your PC.
    On the lower right side is a Manuals link.
    There should be a maintenance and service guide which will tell you what the hard drive part numbers are.
    Google one of them and you will have your answer.  Sometimes they just state 5,400 RPM hard drive and not much more, but when you google the part number, you normally find out exactly the info you need.
    If you have trouble finding the info, please post back with your full model number.

  • HT201250 I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?

    I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?  No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!

    1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

  • What type of hard drive do I need for a Creative Zen Vision

    Hey everybody.
    I have a Creative Zen Vision:M, and unfortunately after dropping it, the hard drive has decided to pack up!
    I have decied to replace the hard dri've, but wondered which hard dri'ves are compatible with the Zen Vision:M? I know the hard drive is a .8" drive, but that's all I know what to look for so far...
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    It uses a standard 2.5" HDD. You can find them around in any good computer shop. You can use larger (capacity) as well. If you wish to find exactly the same one please try:
    (a) Open Device Manager,
    (b) Expand Disk drives item
    You can see brand and model of the current HDD on your computer. If it failed already, pull it out and check.
    Regards.

  • What Type Of Hard Drive Do I Have & Backing Up.

    I just got an email from Apple that says I have a Seagate Hard Drive that my fail and it is on recall.  Call them to set up for a hard drive replacement.  This raises questions for me I hope I can get answers here for.
    1.  How can I check to see if I actually have a Segate Drive?
    I assume it is somewhere here, but not sure where:
    "Apple Logo > About This Mac > More Info"
    2. I am told that to swap the hard drive I will need to bring in all of my original install disc plus any other software  I ordered with it (Final Cut Express in my case).  So what is the best way to back everything up so when I get it back  I will not have to re-type all of info for my emails, contacts, passwords and WEP for wifi, ect, ect.
    3. Will Time Machine remember everything or will there still be some items that will require re-entering?
    4. I have a 1TB internal drive that currently only has about 95 GB being used. Can I use a 400 GB external Passport that is MacJournaled as a Time Machine Backup?
    5. What about security issues, since I assume Apple will keep my old seagate drive they recalled.  Should I ask for it back or actually trust them to dispose of the data properly?
    6. Any other tips before I begin this process is apprecitaed.  I am trying to do this with as little headaches as possible.
    Thanks.

    Open Disk Utility which will display that information. However, since you were notified you should have the drive in question.
    I would suggest a cloned backup of the drive on an external HDD:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      2. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      3. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
          entry field.
      4. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
      5. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    After cloning use OPTION booting to startup from the clone:
    Boot Using OPTION key:
      1. Restart the computer.
      2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
      3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
      4. Select the external backup disk.
      5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
    Now erase your internal drive:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data - one pass - and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    This will remove all traces of your information from the drive as if it were new from the factory.

  • About to replace hard drive for the first time

    Hello,
    I am about to help my grandson replace a hard drive (and upgrade the RAM) on an iBook G4 800mHz
    laptop. The current HD is certified dead by our Apple Genius Bar genius, and with any luck, that's all. (I am able to boot the machine from an external drive OK)
    He has purchased a Fujitsu 120GB HD from OWC (likewise a 1GB RAM chip) after careful research into compatibility with this particular iBook model. We have been studying the IFixit and powerbookmedic manuals and are thoroughly intimidated by fears of ripping connectors from logic boards (well, I'M intimidated at least!). Bought the right and proper tools, torx and philips drivers and spudgers and all. Right.
    My question is this: the HD arrived with a tiny blue part taped to the package....looked like it may be a jumper (I remember this from when friend helped me replace my G4 power pc HD). Does this drive require the placement of a jumper? Also, is it always necessary to format the HD before installation of the OS? Is it really as simple as taking the old drive out and putting the new one in exactly the same way? The instructions look very straightforward, tedious, but straight forward?
    Any wisdom before we start to pry open those fragile bits? thanks a bunch!
    Dave

    David,
    As Adrian says use the same tape. Actually the service manual say the same thing, i.e. to remove it carefully so it can be reused.
    It's called Kapton tape ( from 3M of course but apparently developed by DuPont ) and I've been interested in it for a long time since it works so well. So I Googled it ( Google is your friend ) and came up with tons of sources. This one was very informative:
    http://www.technicaldevices.com/Details.cfm?ProdID=361516
    "PRESSURE SENSITIVE SILICONE ADHESIVE SYSTEM ; TRANSPARENT AMBER COLOR ; USED FOR FLAME RESISTANT ELECTRICAL INSULATION, WIRE AND CABLE WRAP, WIRE BUNDLING TERMINATION, SPLICING OF HI-TEMP REFLECTIVE THERMAL INSULATING FILM ; EXCELLENT SOLDER MASK FOR CIRCUIT BOARDS ; RELEASE SURFACE FOR HEATED PLATENS IN HEAT SEALING / LAMINATION ; RESISTS HIGH HEAT OF MOLTEN SOLDER TEMPERATURES OF 100ºF - 500ºF"
    Oooh now that IS some nice tape. Might have to get some of that and there are a lot of places where it's real cheap. I had assumed it was real expensive and according to Electronic Goldmine it was:
    "Most distributors sell this roll for $50 to $60." They're selling theirs for $24 but that other place $1.00 for what looks like the same stuff. Wait check that, if I'm reading that right it's 6" for $1 and the other place has 36' but it's only 1/8" wide.
    Crap.

  • What types of hard drives are compatible with my HP Folio Laptop?

    I got a refurbished HP Folio 1029wm.I'm statisified with its performance.
    It's just for some reason that I wish to upgrade my hard drive to larger capacity.
    I'm wondering whether the mSATA SSD is my only option? Any Alternatives?
    Like SATA SSD, or hybrid drives, will they be possible to be installed on my Laptop?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You've got no other option because no slot for HDD, only for mSATA as you already know:
     Hard drive
    Description Spare part number
    128-GB mSATA solid-state drive (SSD) 672616-001
    If you wish bigger (capacity) HDD, please try this:

  • What size external hard drive for cc?

    I want to have Br, Ps, Ai, Ac and perhaps a few others on an external hard drive.
    Any suggestions what size?

    Hi doppelganger,
    Each of the mentioned softwares will require around 1 GB or more disk space. All the softwares can be accommodated within 20 GB.
    You can go ahead and purchase a 500Gb or 1TB Hard Disk as these are the most commonly available external hard disks used these days.

  • How do I find out what type of hard drive I have?

    I recieved a message from Apple that I had to have my 1TB Seagate hard drive replaced.  However, when I look in "About this Mac," it says my memory is a "4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3".  I don't know whether this "memory" is the same as my hard drive.  Does this means that the message reached me incorrectly?  I am not sure whether this is an Intel so sorry if I asked the question on the wrong board.

    And if you want to verify that your hard drive is indeed under the current recall you can enter your machine serial number on this apple site:
    http://www.apple.com/support/imac-harddrive/
    It's a good idea to take a look at the Apple recall page every now and then, not all recalls have notifications sent out.

  • I need a replacement hard drive for a 2004 G5 PowerPC iMac.

    I picked it up for free at a garage sale, then opened it up and saw that ithad no hard drive. I don't know exactly what to buy, so if anybody could give me links to some on Amazon or Ebay that would be great. I don't really care about the capacity of the hard drive. Thanks!

    Generally speaking any 3.5", 7200 RPM 1.5 Gbps SATA hard drive will do.   3 Gbps are too fast for it, and some may not down step without the proper jumper setting.

  • What kind of hard drive do I need for my HP Pavilion dx6650us entertainment notebook PC?

    I have a HP Pavilion dx6650us entertainment notebook PC that has the BSOD. Even when I run it in SafeMode I have absolutly NO desktop. I've tried EVERYTHING. I have lost hope. So im just going to buy a new hard drive. Does anybody have ANY idea what type of hard drive I need and aprox. how much it might cost? Please let me know(: Thank you.

    It is a standard laptop 2.5 inch wide SATA hard drive like shown in this picture:
    Look at Page 9 of this Manual:
    Drive Manual
    This will show how to replace it. Do you have the recovery disks that you could have made when the laptop was new? If not you are going to have to get a Windows disk or some HP recovery disks.
    Here is a drive that would work for you.
    160 gig 7200 rpm drive for $45
    This drive will be faster than what you had and is a bit larger. A very good deal for the price. You perhaps already have a second hard drive in the system. See the manual on page 9 for the location of both hard drive bays. You could move the secondary drive (if there is one) over into the primary position without spending a nickel. In fact, that is a great idea. If you do that and still get the BSOD, then it might well be something else going on other than the hard drive. The hard drive is a likely issue but it could also be the memory and other things, too. However, I think the second drive is only found in the dx9000 models so do not be shocked if you do not have a secondary hard drive bay in your machine. I have never seen a dx6000 series but am pretty sure it is a lot like the dv6000 series of which I have seen more than my share. They have a lot of issues and I am concerned you will be spending money on a new hard drive that will not fix anything.
    Feel free to post back with issues or questions.
