DVD -RW/+RW, NEC-Optiarc Writemaster LF Black slim (AD-7593A-01)

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Buyed the new DVD writer for my laptop. The old DVD ROM (Toshiba SD-C2612) didn’t read some new CD/DVD disks so I dicided to replace with new one.
I found the description about new Sony/NEC Optiarc with IDE – AD-7593A-01 and ordered online in sokol.ua (from home computer in Thursday evening). On next day in 11AM the sale person called me by phone to confirm the order. They do not want to receive the WebMoney as payment method now and suggested to buy for cash. In Saterday we got the unit in their shop.
291hrn ($63) All works well and I can read all my disks now.

Omnibook XT6200 and replace hdd (WD2500BEVE)

Monday, September 1st, 2008

I buyed and installed succesfull this WD2500BEVE in my XT6200.

The correct algorithm is:
1. download the Data LifeGuard Tools at http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=701&lang=en

2. create boot floppy and create the partitions (no more than 137Gb every) in LifeGuard Tools

3. install Windows XP (with SP2! – very important). If you’ll install the Windows XP from recovery CDs (for laptop) then only 137Gb will be available because SP2 is not included there.

BIOS in XT6200 will display 137Gb anyway but Windows XP SP2 will work correctly with all 250Gb

PS: I tried to install the Vista but for some reason the setup is hang. Not sure why – maybe DVD corrupted. Anyway now I work with Windows XP SP2 without any problem.
