    Re: cant find the hard drive info on my parts manual???

    If the HDD is still working plug the HDD into any PC computer SATA slot.


    How to get HDD size information:
    -----------------------------------------

    From the windows CMD prompt type in :

    wmic diskdrive list brief <enter>


    Alternatively you could use:

    From the windows CMD prompt type in :
    diskpart <enter>
    list disk <enter>



    How to clean/wipe a corrupt HDD. (WARNING : Use at your own risk)
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    diskpart <enter>
    list disk <enter>
    select disk "your volume number here" <enter>
    clean all <enter>

    **** """CLEAN ALL""" will write zero's to every track on the HDD *****

    You are so right. THAT is why our agreements stipulate that our techs are the ones to remove the HDDs and then hand them over to the concerned parties. We can then replace the drives as we need to.

    I believe that is also Ricoh's published policy.

    Or what type and size HDD needed on these
    thnaks
    Literally any working HDD thats 2.5 inch SATA 80GB or more will work. You don't want something over 200GB as the machine does not need a size that big and they will be more expensive than one that was say 80GB or even 160GB.

    Format the HDD with a SATA cable, install in the machine and format through SP mode

    My experience is that 80GB and 160GB drives are older, harder to find, too small for most newer MFP and actually cost more than newer technology drives. You never want to install a drive that is smaller than what the MFP originally came with as it might not work. Ricoh does not cover the manufacturers label so you can always find the model and Google it to see the size. There a couple of models where Ricoh special formats the drives and you are forced to purchase from Ricoh. These are older machines, usually with a pair of drives that must be replaced as a set and frequently no longer available.

    Thanks for the advice. Will keep that in mind for my next HDD purchase. I've got a little present for you. Try to set this image I have attached as your avatar. I know you have tried these before, but just bear with me on this one......

    Tried a different lower capacities for the 03 Series but didn't work. Even a 120GB SSD detects but while formatting, it gives 670. My conclusion was to install a 240GB or more. Maybe for the older machines, the lower capacity will work.
