Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Gateway 7422 is basically the same computer, made by ARIMA, with the following differences:
7422 / 6805
Mobile Athlon 64 3400+ / 3000+
1 GB Memory (2X512) / 512 MB (2X256)
ATI Radion 9550 w/64 MB / ATI Radeon 9600 w/64 MB
(Both running at same speed)
80GB 4200 HDD / 60GB...
I have the extended warranty and it says that after the manufacturers warranty expires (1 Year) REPLACEMENT of the merchandise fuffills the terms of the warranty, Repairs only do not end the warranty.
I went from an m680 to m6809 to my m6811 with no problem.
Third and fourth number being 43,44,45,46,or 47 are the ones affected by the original hinge cover internal dimesnsion being too small. 48 and higher have a redesigned cover that fixes the problem.
I have an m6811 by eMachine. The problem is fixed by having the correct BIOS and by loading the latest drivers. My laptop switches from 800MHz to 2.2 GHz based on load on AC and DC.
Check the partition on the new drive to make sure it is set active.
A better way is to make an image of your current drive to some other location (CD, DVD, another external drive, network share, etc,) then restoring to your new disk. That is how I transfer to a new hard disk.
Good Luck!
