You lost me in the first 30 seconds. First unplug your computer. No don't. Touch your computer first with it plugged in. No just leave it plugged in...
James Guy Photography so people suggest that the first thing you do is turn off your computer, (for safety reasons I presume), though he suggests you leave it plugged in so you can ground yourself using it to keep any static electricity from ruining your computer.
The name of this video is all wrong, it should be called take a tour of my PC for dummies chapter 1. Your sharp as a tack! Working on electrical devices while it's still plugged into the wall? I'm at a loss for further comment.
I had one of the old ones and I couldn't find a way till you said I need the one long cable but I notice that I needed for the cd thing but luckily me I had an old as pc in the backyard with what I needed this help me a lot lol thanks
If I take a hard drive with data/programs from a computer that is dead. ( Drive is ok, I think but the fan,plug etc isnt working...can I reinstall the drive on a new computer (same brand/type/year)? Does the data disappear or will it work on a comparable computer?
Hi. My question is how to get a replaced hard drive to boot up and go into windows. Because I really wanted to save the data on the hard drive from a 2002 Dell Windows XP desktop computer that went out on me and no longer booted up and stayed on, I took that hard drive and put it into a 2004 Dell Windows XP desktop computer hoping it would just boot up and work. The replaced hard drive in the 2004 Dell read the hard drive but it would not go into Windows. It just goes round and round saying "how do you want to start your Windows?". Can you give me some advice on how I can possibly get my replaced hard drive to work in the Dell 2004 I just got???? I'm aware it might be a longshot. Thank you kindly.... - James
Excellent demo. Thumbs up. I wonder how you format it without operating system. Windows etc. I'm replacing mine since old hard drive is broken according to diagnostics. But everything else works fine.
I only have one disk in my computer (windows 10) if i change it will i have a new operating system including the remove of all my files so this would be something like factory reseting your pc??
You need to unplug one of the drives and power up the computer to see which drive is missing. Alternatively you can get the serial number of the drive from the PC and read that on the label of the drive.
I'm replacing a 2nd drive (my os/games/programs are on an ssd. My hhd has died), after I back up what I can is it safe to just swap the hhd with a new one and my os will work as normal with my ssd?

If I Put The New Drive In Like You Just Showed Then What Do I Do Cause I'm Not Just Adding A Drive I'm Replacing The Only One That Came With THe COmputer? ... Please Get Back Thanks
Thats what i want to do with this desktop I received it has only 200gb found this 2tb hard drive laying around but when i install the hard drive and turn the desktop on it goes into error mode i need to find out how to copy the OS from the 200gb hard drive to the 2tb hard drive how do i do this
Kuca I’m looking for a rail or tray whatever the blue thing is as well! Did you ever find out where to get one I need one with those clips on the side of it
Little question if i put an old hard drive with windows installed in a new computer without windows, will the new computer get windows automatically? or will windows be deleted?
If you have a hard drive with windows already on it and you put it in a new computer, windows will probably boot on the new machine. When windows boots up it will start replacing drivers and reconfigure some things as it was previously set up for a different machine. Also, Windows will detect complete change in hardware so it will want to re-activate, this should be successful as long as the cd-key used is still valid. If the key was from an old volume license (like an expired TechNet account) it may not activate, you would need to put in a valid key to activate Windows.
Hey,I have a toshiba hard drive and it is suposed to have 3Terabits but when I pluged it in says it has only 100 mega bites... Can you help me in any way?

I have a dead hard drive. & a used hard drive in another computer. Can I just replace the used one with the dead one since I don't want to buy a new one? But it has win xp on it.
it should be illegal for somebody to even be able to make a video like this with a computer with a green pre-built motherboard if you know what you was doing you wouldn't have a pre-built system with that dusty-ass motherboard

@@WalterWhite37104 Plug it in but leave it off, that grounds the PC to make sure you dont potentially damage it with static, but wont shock you
The instructions on how to take it out is at 4:33 the rest of the video is just him explaining what SATA is.
thx dude :)
Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need.

Somebody tell this man that he should never open his case when there is power going in to the computer.
This was 10 year ago people were dumber back then
Hell I open the PC while it's running. There's no need to turn it off. I'm an Electronics Engineer. If you want to hot swap a drive just do it.
@@SuperCoolZomb1e like you
How do you re-download the operating system?
Just a Tip! An older hard drive or most older Components take a Molex Cable which is the 4-pin Big Connector for power. Great Tutorial Though!
I may disagree with leaving the power cable connected, but the rest of the video is very helpful for a HD replacement novice.

This guy doesn't know how to properly ground and just rambles on for several minutes explaining obvious steps.
Wish you had then reloaded the operating system. I'll look to see if you have another video. Thanks.
Thanks, trying to keep my knowledge up to date, and this was helpful.
Hows that coming for u now in the current era?

It's too bad you didn't make the video on how to install an operating system, though! =P
Have a question, after installing the hard drive, do you just use the windows installation disk afterwards to load the os?
If I take a hard drive with data/programs from a computer that is dead. ( Drive is ok, I think but the fan,plug etc isnt working...can I reinstall the drive on a new computer (same brand/type/year)? Does the data disappear or will it work on a comparable computer?

Calling a sata drive newest technology is pretty interesting to think about now since most people just use SSDs
