This may not be good for the components. Static (from the carpet) can damage them.

that's good news !Hope you do not have problems booting from it ..The system boots after a couple of days automatically (the only way to get XP stable i guess ...)
I tried (as several other people did also) sometime ago with the samsung SSD. copying the disk was no problem but booting was a problem... It booted not always because the motherboard does not support it 100 % ...When it booted from the SSD it was indeed fast. but because the BM5 boot automatically after a couple of days it is not usable ... I use now a hybrid disk and the result is also good but not as fast as 100 % SSD ;-)
Keep us informed if there are no problem booting the system every time

Did you replace with SSD?
I have a Beomaster 5 with hard drive brake.
I need install the windows xp and original Bang & Olufsen Soft.
Haw can i make this. ?
Short answer is - you can't... Firstly - are you sure it is the HDD? Quite often it is the motherboard.
Try pulling out the disk and seeing if you can access all the partitions on the disk - if you can, then the likely problem is the MB. This can be replaced by either a B&O one or a MB which is mostly compatible - you just need to do a bit of surgery on it (there is a good thread in this forum that explains how to do it.
Hi Martin
I know it's an old post, but I just recently bought a 1TB BS5/BM5 and so far I have successfully upgraded it with WD Blue SSD.
My initial intention was to expand available storage to 2TB, but I only managed to use it up to 1TB. When I do re-partitioning with MiniTool Partition Wizard, BM5 boots up normally, but when I select Mode->System on main navigation screen (to check available space), system crashes instantly. For the same reason I cannot enter the Service Menu to reboot it from Service Tool USB and do the Recovery... :-/
I've seen from your posts that you uses Gparted. I used MiniTool PW (doing it on another PC), as IMO all disk partition tools should be doing the job more-less the same way. Are there some additional steps/parameter settings which I am missing?
I am using BV7-40 as a monitor, have Service Tool USB and keyboard/mouse combo. I haven't transferred any music yet, so doing everything from scratch.
All suggestions are welcome
Thank you
Damir
Hello Damir
which WD Blue harddisk do you have installed ?
It works fine ?
