JUst change the HDD with another brand type HDD. Try Western Digital, they are pretty good at hard drives.

DJ Rick is right.  Remove the hard drive and either set the drive as a primary slave in another computer, or get a external hard drive kit for notebook hard drives (about $30) and install the drive into it.  It converts the harddrive into an external hard drive.  You connect it to a computer via USB and plug in the a/c power cord to supply power to the drive and that's all here is to it.  Should take you under 5 minutes to assemble the hard drive into an external hard drive kit.  CompUSA carries the kits.  Good luck.

First, it's ntfs. (Which stands for new technology file system. ;) \n\nTo do so, you'd need a copy of Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Buy the upgrade package, and install it. Once installed, convert your hard drive to NTFS. \n\nYou can usually do that with the management window in XP or 2K.\n\nDo some google searching, and you'll find some walk-thrus.

You can use MacDirve(it costs around $50), to create format and read HFS(+) partitions, there will be some problems with Windows XP, so read this "tutorial":\nhttp://www.bioneural.net/2004/07/30/backing-up-to-a-hdd-in-a-cross-platform-world/\n\nAnd here is MacDrive site:\nhttp://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive6/

do you mean just backing up data and you need help with doing that or do you mean making a clone of the hard drive and hence need some imaging tools like nortons ghost or true image by acronis or something to that extent also if you do a search on google for unattended that is a good one, its by sourceforge.net\n\nThat should help you out somewhat, I suggest you post back with some more info :)

Hard drive manufacturers offer utilities that you can download from the support section of their websites that help you install hard drives.  They also have good installation guides available.\n\n(Most utilities need at least one of the hard drives to come from their company)\n\nAssuming you have a single existing drive, what you need to do is to first add the new drive as a second drive in order to copy your existing drive data to it (using the utility).  Then you can swop the drives over.\n\nThe new drive will then act just like the original drive.\n\n(The most common problem in installing drives is getting the jumper settings correct.  If the computer doesn't recognize the drive it is almost always the jumper settings).

did u install an operating system or not yet ?\n\nif yes, then open "My Computer" if u use windows operating system and right click on each drive and chose properties.\n\nif no, then the easiest way is to plug ur hard drive to another pc which has an operating system and do the same\n\n\ngood luck mate.. ;)

You will have to do a complete reinstall and reformat of the drive. To do this, when reinstalling and it says it already exists, escape and go to the partition disk manager and have it erase existing partitions and create a new installation partition, then format it with NTFS and continue with the installation. Another option to reformat the drive is to use a tool such as the Ultimate Boot CD, and use it formatting tools such as Ranish Partition Manager to create your new install partition.

Just plug in your external hard drive, and start My Computer.  If the hard drive is properly formatted and partitioned, then it should show the drive with a new letter on the same place you will see your "C" drive.\n\nIf it does not show up then you will have to initialise the disk and format the disk for you to begin using it.\n\nAssuming everything is fine, simply drag and drop files into the new drive.  It maybe sensible to create folder and organise your data.\n\nSimply, right click on one of the files/mp3 etc and choose Open or to be more specific choose Open with and select the appropriate program.\n\nAlso before powering down your external hard drive or your computer, remember to disconnect the external drive safely on Windows.  On the System Tray, where your time shows on the bottom right hand corner.  There is an icon if you hover the mouse over it says "Remove Safely" or "Remove Hardware Safely".  Click on this and it will display the devices that are currntly connected.  Click on the entry related to the external hard drive.  If you do not do this, the hard drive can get corrupted.\n\nI lost about 40Gb worth of data by not doing this in a moment of madness.\n\nHope this is helpful.

Does it already have an operating system on it? If it does, you cannot partition a HD that already data on it (unless you want to erase the data).\n\nIf it's a new drive you've added, you can partition it through Disk Management. To get there, right click my computer, go to manage, left side, under storage, there's "disk management". Right side has all your options.

You'll need a disk management program that is capable of repartitioning the drive on-the-fly. PartitionMagic from Symantec is one such product, but there are many others.

firstly install OS with 10 GB as primary partition and leave the left extended patition untouched. After installation of os(in case windos xp) goto control panel>administrative tools>computer management>Disk management...and then create logical partitions following the steps....\n\n1)Right click on extended partition Shown.\n2)Then Click on New logical Drive.\n3)Select partition type(Extende,primary,Logical).\n4)Put the size of Partition as needed by you.\n5)Select drive letter(Recommende:-leave it default).\n6)Select format of file system(NTFS,FAT).\n\nand click on next.\nthe drive will be created.
