If so can someone point me to an online manual or email one toHi John,this looks like the manual for your notebooka short glance I see nothing about HD thoughand here is a download link for a pdfit's similar for your 512 model.-Best RegardsHiMan. Physically, it should be easy - or at least it is on the 528s I have here.Remove HD cover and basically pull the old out and slap in the new.However (there is always one of 'those') getting the machine to work withthe new one is another matter. The BIOS (or at least the part reachable bythe end user) on the 528 is extremely limited so you may be somewhat limitedto an exact replacement. I am told there is service software that allowsfull BIOS access but have not seen it.Sorry I can't give you more info.c'John Guynn' wrote in messagenews:[email protected].

Thank you so much, that looks close enough to the512T that I can decide if it's worth the effort to try to fix thisunit that's been in my office since I started this job. Thanks for trying. The 512T doesn't have an externally accessiblehard drive. It's under the keyboard as best I can tell. The 510documentation that the other response pointed me to seems to beexactly what I was looking for.JohnOn Wed, 30 Jun 2004 12:52:37 -0600, 'commander' wrote:Physically, it should be easy - or at least it is on the 528s I have here.Remove HD cover and basically pull the old out and slap in the new.However (there is always one of 'those') getting the machine to work withthe new one is another matter.

Ihate it, if there are no service manuals readily available. It also looks asif acer has an ftp server for bios updates and other stuff.
Call theirsupport?You mention 'fix it'. Are you sure the HD is the problem, or do just want alarger one? I'm asking, because I had once seen bad HD troubles on an oldernotebook. Full of bad sectors.
Ok after low level format for a while, thenbad sectors again after several unexplained crashes. Turned out the contactof the power plug unit to the motherboard was partially loose. Got thatrepaired and no more HD problems (with the same old HD) I have heard of.-Best RegardsHiMan.

It was in myoffice when I started this job and has a post-it on it that reads,'Bad Hard Drive'. I've got no power adapter to try and power it upwith. Everyone I ask about it says they know nothing about it andthe guy who I replaced retired and took a job outside the country.John.

How do you plan to use it at all?
You power itup tom see the post? I might be misunderstanding something. Any chance youhave(can borrow) a known good HD for testing (better one with no importantdata on it)? Or could you put it in another notebook to check, what it doesthere?-Best RegardsHiMan. On Fri, 2 Jul 2004 09:31:26 +0200, 'HiMan' wrote:'John Guynn' wrote in messagenews:[email protected].

I've been here less than a month, and thisparticular piece of equipment isn't high on my priority list so Ihaven't had a chance to track down a power supply.
Currently itdoesn't power up but I'd guess that's because the battery is out ofjuice. I'm also unsure of how many of these particular Acer notebooksare floating around the office/department. I certainly haven't seenone I can snatch up and use as a test bed for the drive that is saidto be bad.John. 'John Guynn' wrote in messagenews:[email protected]. You've hit the nail on the head.

Notebook drives unfortunately are not aseasy to exchange as desktop drives You could also consider buying an adapterto mount it in a desktop.
If you want to avoid any 'confusion' of theinstalled OS (XP and/or 2K should probably better not be booted on just anyother PC), you could for a first check just look, if the bios does recognizethe drive. But then again without a power supply you can't really use thisnotebook anyway? Should you find one, have a look, if the manufacturer ofthe drive offers any diagnostic software. I know IBM has a so called drivefitness test, whereas Toshiba offers nothing (confirmed by their support).-Best RegardsHiMan. So, I just replaced my openSUSE boot hard drive.
I thought I wouldoutline the process and procedures I used which was successful. What Iwould like to know is, could I have done this another way or done it ina better way? I would like to hear from you if you were able to replaceyour booting openSUSE hard drive and you did not need to reinstallopenSUSE to make it work.I decided I wanted to replace my hard drive in the least amount of timewith the least amount of work.

Phew!The server already has two drives installed.
We are notusing a RAID array.On these two drives, we have 3 volumes - SYS and APPS onone drive, and DATA on the other.We've fitted the drive into the hotswap tray, and insertedit into the server.

The steps are:Backup ServerRemove DS from ServerReplace DisksInstall NW65, New Install with same name and ip as 'old' serverinstall into tree (its DS 8.7.1)install arcserve (backup program)create volumes - can I now create NSS volumes and restore to them?restore data and user volumes.have I missed any steps??ThanksGraemeSounds good.Or. If the bud.I am looking to replace our older 10GB hard drives (1 main, 1 is a mirror)with much larger drives. What is the best way to do this? Of course, Iwould like to basically clone the 10GB main drive, or copy it to thelarger drive that i have just purchased, and then allow it to create amirror image of itself as before on the 2nd larger/newer drive. Whatexact procedure shoud I follow to do all of this?You might look to the Portlock products for this.A question though, what type of drives?-Barry SchnurNovell Support Connection Volunteer SysopSCSI drives.
Is th.I've been searching Novell to fine the currently recommended way forreplacing a servers hard drives (including sys) without changing theservers identity in NDS. I found a couple of articles for earlierversions of Netware and wasnt sure if they applied to NW65.
Maybe itscalled migrating server hardware now as opposed to replacing serverhardware. Can anyone point me in the right direction?Thanks.Allen Morris CNEAllen, take a look at the Portlock products for this - they have theability to do the imaging.-Barry SchnurNovell Support Conne.Our server is 4.11 sp9 running in an old box (Pentium II). It has twomirrored Seagate scsi st34501w drives 4.5 g, 2 partitions (AIC7870.DSK).It is running Arcserve 6.6 for tape backups (TR-20) on a HP tapebackup. We have no 'real' technical support team on-site, just me withlimited knowledge of Netware and pc's. We have no budget, hence theancient server!I was planning on buying a couple used backup scsi drives off of ebayI don't have any errors reported yet, but one of the drives is getting'loud' with what sounds like bearings' wearing out.Hi there,I am running out of space on a NW5.1 sp2a server. It's a 9.1 GB harddrive and already has 4 netware partitions. I want to replace thiswith a36GB hard drive and extend data volume.
As it has max number ofpartitions, you can't ghost the drive and extend the volume as netwaredoes now allow us to create netware partition beyond 4 partitions. SoIhave tested with server magic to extend the partition and then usenetware to extend the volume. Is there any other ways to do this jobquickly and without much hassle? How do other people out there dodriverep.Hi folks,My old IBM IDE 120GB drive was getting old and full and I purchased anew one of 500 GB so I wanted to have an exact copy of my windows andlinux partitions on the new one, thinking I could later expand or playwith the partition sizes.So I thought I could use dd to copy byte-for-byte, unplug the old one,plug the new one and it will work.This was a little mistake. Some things from Linux are related not onlyto sda and sdb but also to disk-by-id.
And neither Windows was booting.I prefer to have only one hard disk, because my computer is a Shuttlewhere 2 HDD si.Hi,Scott Moulton has a number of presentations on Hard Drive data recoverywhich goes to the PCB replacement level and beyond:recommend you watch them if you are all interested in this processThere is lots of information on how hard drives work and how you could fixthem yourself if you are brave enough.Kind RegardsSimon.Okay, I am running OpenSuse 11.4 with Gnome3, with 2 hard drives. One isfor the system and has three partitions - root, swap, and home. Thesecond is only data storage. Last week I started getting popups statingI had a hard drive going bad.
I checked SMART status in disk utilityand had several bad sectors on the system drive, so I cloned the driveto a new one with Clonezilla. Here is where everything went kooky. WhenI booted the new disk I had a ton of errors at boot along the lines ofunable to find a drive. Upon closer inspection I realized the thesystem located the drive.We have a netware 6.5 server which is about 3 years old. It is currentlyrunning service pack 4a. Since it was new we have had periodic problemswith 'user data write' errors and pool deactivations. We are using an IntelSRCU42x RAID controller to mirror a pair of Maxtor 70 GB drives, and a pairof Maxtor 36 GB drives (the 36 GB drives were added a little over a yearago).
The 70 GB mirror houses the Sys volume and our main data volumes. Itis also where we are experiencing the errors. We can go a few monthswithout error, but the issue will always resurface.
