Topic: Laptop HDD to desktop? How

[leightot]

I have defective laptop with bunch of files in it, gusto ko sana retrieve mga files ko in drive D or E kahit wala yung sa main drive. Pano kaya to? I only have desktop to do it. thanks

hindi naman problema yan whether its 2.5" (for laptops) or 3.5" (for desktop) same lang naman gamit na connection (mostly SATA), so pwede parin isaksak sa SATA port ng desktop motherboard mo yan. ang isang magiging possible problem mo lang dyan is kung saan ilalagay in case gusto mong gamitin as HDD for desktop (some cases merong case ang 2.5" so you can put it in the 3.5" bay sa casing

kung ayaw mo magbukas ng casing, you can also use 2.5" external casing para via USB ang connection sa PC mo

it would be easy if you have SATA connection sa Mobo ng PC mo and sa lappy naman for sure SATA na yung HDD mo

or kung wala naman you can buy HDD dock Station

mahal ang docking station dito sa Pinas.

250 lang ang external casing sa CDR King.

tried this, direct I changed my 3.5hdd to 2.5 from my laptop pero ayaw mag pursue sa windows. bios check ok pero when upon "starting windows" biglang mag rereboot. laging ganun..


would buying an external case is ok? thru USB baka mas gumana?

Pwede naman po siguro sir na wag nyo pong papalitan yung 3.5" HDD nyo. Basta ikabit nyo lang po yung 2.5" na parang additional lang sya. So yung OS dun pa din magbo-boot sa 3.5" HDD. Kung wala kayong extra SATA cable, baka po pwedeng yung sa DVD ROM nalang muna ang gamitin nyo.

[bodieph]

did you check the SATA sequence? is it set to AHCI or IDE? my guess is ang gamit ng laptop mo IDE and ang setting sa bios mo is AHCI (or vice versa). yung sinasabi mong biglang nagrerestart that is one indication na ganun (baliktad ang settings so OS does not recognize it and cannot run properly hence the restart)

or gawin nalang secondary HDD yung laptop HDD

[MasterChief63]

ok ang nangyayari is that 2 Versions of WINDOWS ang nakikita nung PC mo kaya nagcoconflict, your best option is sa BOOT DIRECTORY set mo kung sino ang mauuna sa boots equence so the correct WINDOWS is loaded and as sir bod said set the correct setting sa HDD mo

Thanks ya'll ginawa ko yung suggestion ni Bodieph and Marabutit. pinalitan ko muna sa dvdr then used my main HDD as my os and laptop HDD as secondary. salamat.
