Where to download DM for seagate 160gb hard drive

Yes, although I would use my 160 as the master and the 1TB as a slave to store my info though.

Hi,

Yes of course you can install the Seagate Mementus 160GB, the laptop will take a dive with a 320GB capacity.



Regards.

Have you tried SeaTools or DiscWizard? Both are provided by Seagate and can be downloaded via the following link:

I have always found that the seagate drives are much more reliable than all the other brands. I suggest that you go for a Seagate. As for the overheating my lappy overheats even with a 160GB HDD. Over heating is not dependent on the size of the drive and is caused usually by dust clogging the heat sink. Good maintainance such as cleaning up the dust once in a while is all it takes for a notebook to run cool.

the harddrive size is in another measurement system and the actual size of the drive is exactly what you are seeing 152.

here you can see how my disks show
160GB disk - 152,66GB
1000GB disk - 931.51GB

that is correct.

You need to get a new Hard disk. There is no way to get info off the Hard disk that won't turn in because theres probley a short a an element that failed and burned out. Hope this helped. =)

The IDE version of a 160gb is a:

Seagate Momentus 160GB IDE Laptop Hard Drive
Part Number: 9S1034-506
Model Number: ST9160821A
5400RPM

The SATA version is a:

Seagate Momentus 7200.2 ST9160823AS 2.5-inch 160 GB hard drive

Why do u need DM Cd just get any bootable or xp cd

 

Good luck

 

Hi, Was the original 20Gb HD also a SATA or was it installed as an IDE? Try installing a fresh clean Windows rather than the restore disc. However, you will need the drivers for the SATA 160Gb and press F6 when Windows installers ask you to. Post back how things turn up or should you need further information. Hope this be of some idea/help. Good luck and kind regards.
