Wishing to upgrade hardrive of Think Pad 2530 - z60m, from 100MB to 300MB

I am trying to upgrade my computer to Vista Business, but I only have about 42MB left of hard drive capacity. Does anybody knows what the difference is between 300GB 5400 RPM Universal SATA - 8MB and 300GB 7200 RPM Universal SATA -16MB.
I aqppreciate your advise, and thank you in advance.

The difference is the speed and buffer, the latter drive being faster and having twice the buffer and it will perform a lot better than the first one.
Please be advised that you have to stay with 32-bit Vista on your Z60m, 64-bit will not install on it.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
George

  • TS1702 how can I remove large number of photos on my iPhone 4s from iTunes using a PC - Lenovo Think Pad - so that I can reduce the space used on the phone by 50%?

    You don't need iTunes for that. Simply connect the iPhone to the PC where it will be recognized as a camera. You can then select the photos you wish to transfer, transfer them, and delete them.

  • Think pad up grade

    i have a think pad modem  600  window 98 the hard drive is not working. can i get hard drive to fit? can it be up graded to 2000xp

    Welcome to the forum!
    Yes, you can get a new hard drive...any PATA/ATA-6/IDE laptop drive will work. And yes, you can upgrade to Windows 2000, with sufficient amount of RAM (256MB, preferably more) your ThinkPad will run them just fine.

  • I noticed that Find My iPhone on iCloud hasn't worked since iOS 8 came out. My device uses iOS 7. My question is: do I need to upgrade my device? If not, what should I do? I do not wish to upgrade my device.

    I noticed that Find My iPhone on iCloud hasn't worked since iOS 8 came out. Whenever I try to use it, it always says "All Devices Offline." This is regardless of whether I am in a good Wi-Fi zone or not.  I like to use Find My iPhone to remotely track my battery charging status whenever my phone is charging in a different room. That's been really handy, which is why I really need to get this fixed. No matter what computer I use, the problem is always the same.
    My device uses iOS 7. My question is: do I need to upgrade my device? If not, what should I do? I do not wish to upgrade my device, especially considering the bad things I've heard about iOS 8.
    Feedback would be welcome ASAP.

    You don't need to update to iOS 8 to use Find My iPhone.  If you haven't already tried, go to Settings>iCloud>Find My iPhone and turn it off, then reset your phone (hold the sleep/wake and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release).  After it restarts, turn Find My iPhone back on and see if it works properly now.

    You can create an install disc but you would have to download Mountain Lion to do so..

  • I have an IBM Think Pad and since installing the latest version of Firfox, the trackpoint scrolling on my mouse no longer works

    I have an IBM Think Pad and since installing the latest version of Firfox, the trackpoint scrolling on my mouse no longer works

    Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work.<br />
    Close and restart Firefox after changing the pref.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
    *Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

Recently it will load up to the screen where you put in your password and let you put it in your password but then just loads to a all black screen with just a mouse pointer on it thats it. I read on line that some other thinkpads had this issue with a display driver but i couldnt find anything on the one i have. The one i have is running windows 8. Any help is greatly appericated.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and I wish to upgrade with Adobe Creative Suite 3 but the option is not coming up on the drop down menu

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and I wish to upgrade with Adobe Creative Suite 3 but the option is not coming up on the drop down menu

    The first two issues sound like a video driver problem.
    What is the make/model of your video card/chip?
    What is the installed video driver number and date?
    For the last issue, it could be many things, including the video driver. I'd look over this ARTICLE, and if there is nothing in the first part, then move on to tuning up the OS an computer in the second part. That would probably be a good time to post the full specs. of your computer, and also both your Project and Source footage. Finally, part three covers many troubleshooting tips, and furnishes many links.
    Good luck,

    My laptop: Ibm Thinkpad T30 Windows Xp Pro

    Love you ajkula66111
    I have heen having the same problem with my T40.  I put the expansion memory in the orignal slot under the keyboard and it starts up like a dream.
    Before I would have to start it up a few times before it would not beep and go to BIOS and then start for real.
    summitzl, check out the link (you could probably find the exact one for your computer type, but here is what to look for).

    I do not know if you have an expansion memory (slot is on the back of computer, first one listed on the page of how to get to it), but I pulled that one out and put it in my orignal slot since I am pretty sure the expansion one is newer.
    Now, I do not know if I should try to put the old one in the expansion slot or what.
    THANK YOU!!!

  • Water Spill- think pad twist

    Hello All, I accidently spilled a little (maybe a 1/4 cup) into my think pad twist. The water quickly drained out the sides. After it dried, i turned it on, and the screen flickered and distorted, but evenutally i got an "installing windows updates" screen, which then flcikered and the machine turned off. Help! Any suggestions? My understanding is that the keyboard is spill resistent, so maybe it;s not that bad? thanks!

  • How come I can't connect to my wifi on my iPad?  My other think pads are connecting.  I reset all my settings and nothing.  We have a jet pack and I can connect to that?

    I can't connect to our wifi.  All our other think pads are connected.  We have a jet pack and am able to connect...but why not our two think pads?  I reset my settings and still doesn't work?  Thx

    Try rebooting the router. Whether or not it is working with other devices does not matter.

  • My iMac says I have 10.6.8 operating system now. Problem is I do not know if that is 'Lion' or 'Snow Leopard' ... and I wish to upgrade to 'Mountain Lion'

    My iMac says I have 10.6.8 operating system now. Problem is I do not know if that is 'Lion' or 'Snow Leopard' ... and I wish to upgrade to 'Mountain Lion'

    That is Snow Leopard.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    Before upgrading check that you computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Snow Leopard General requirements
      1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
      2. 1GB of memory
      3. 5GB of available disk space
      4. DVD drive for installation
      5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may
          apply.
      6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    First, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 as stated above.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
    Before upgrading check that you computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Lion System Requirements
      1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or
          Xeon processor
      2. 2GB of memory
      3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
      4. 7GB of available space
      5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
      1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
      2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
      3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
      4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
      5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
      6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
      7. Xserve (Early 2009)

    You can write to Apple with the serial number and they can tell you exactly when your MacPro (as opposed to Mac Book Pro) was manufactured.
    And in the Apple menu > about this Mac >  more info > there should be sufficient detail to narrow it down.
