• HP Pavilion 15 laptop: HARD drive SSD update for HP Pavilion 15 laptop

  Hey there!

  I own a HP pavilion 15 notebook PC, [model number: F6C42PA #ACJ]. Currently, it is equipped with a 1 TB SATA HARD drive. I was going to upgrade to SSD. Kindly guide me through the steps and the compatible products. Also is there a simple way to just walk into an authorized service center of thm Center and ask to do the upgrade?

  Thank you

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Any form factor of 2.5 in SATA SSD will work and I recommend a Samsung Evo 850.

  There is a link for all sizes available on the page. I recommend that at least a 256 and 500 are quite affordable nowadays.

  Where do you live? Country only, please. I heard that HP Service centers will perform memory and SSD upgrades on these 'closed' systems but I don't know where all of them or what they would charge. You should be able to find a competent local computer shop to do. It does not put security at risk, but the warranty is not revoked if the work is done properly, without damage to the laptop.

• Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!

  Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!  Gee, who could have possibly guessed that would happen?  I tried all kinds of silly workarounds, I found on the internet, but still it will not register the stack of DVDs and other discs I have.

  If you're like me and upgraded your iMac that came with a cd/dvd drive internal... so he has to come out to give way to the fusion or the SSD drive, do NOT buy the apple superdrive.  It will work with your computer!

  Think I'll get a laptop samsung...

  Ironic, isn't it? Own Apple SuperDrive will not work with Apple computers. Shame you don't check here first that we would have warned you. Return Apple overpriced and buy a nice third-party player for a third of the price. I love the LG units. You can consider a loading plate because they are more reliable, and you can use these pesky disc when you get one.

• Acer recovery disks do not install Windows 7 on a new hard drive SSD

  Hi all!

  I have Ace Aspire 5742 G laptop and I have problems to install the Windows 7 operating system on my new hard drive SSD (I bought the SSD because the original hard drive is defect and do all the time... blue screens)

  For the factory restore, I use the restore disks. I burned the discs a few years back when the laptop has insisted me to do (using eRecovery or something, in total 3 dvds).

  Testing of computer to install the operating system with the DVD (asked to insert a dvd and then press a key). The real problem is that the installer will just in loops, restart and eventuallyfreezing in the end...

  Restart--> Acer--> Windows logo takes over... files-> from windows-> reboot-> etc.

  Which continued for more than an hour (on the first dvd!) and all of a sudden that it froze right on screen "starting windows..." I had to restart and stars on again once.

  I can still use my old formatted HARD drive, should I do the new set of recovery disks or use a USB?

  Thanks for the answers in advance!

  I was not able to edit my previous post, so I'll make a new...

  So I thought (with the help of Google) that the problem was that I had installed the new DDR3 memory game. When I changed them back to the original ones (2x2gb) everything worked smoothly.

  anyway. Thanks for the help!

• Seagate Hard Drive Firmware Update for the drive model: ST1000LM024

  I have (HP Pavilion dv6-7180se Entertainment Notebook PC). All the drivers for this model installed correctly except the drivers Frimware (Seagate hard drive Firmware Update) and (PLDS Optical Drive Firmware Update). the first one says "this hard drive model is not supported. Model = ST1000LM024"but my hard drive came from the factory, so what is the practice solution to install this driver? images .view of problems:

  This is to seagate:

  and for PLDS:

  Need help. Thank you.

  What mean of these messages, is that these "Firmware updates" do not apply to material in your specific computer. The two "Seagate Firmware Updates" are respectively for the hard drives of 250 GB / 320 GB and 500/750 GB hard drives. Your computer comes with a 1 TB hard drive, which is not subject to updates of the firmware. The "PLDS Optical Drive Update" is for another drive to CD/DVD only installed in your computer and also does not apply. There is no further action to take... Do not attempt to install these updates of firmware, because they do not apply to the hardware in your computer.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  The main cloud Creative program must be installed on your system's main drive - then you can't have the whole installation on a separate disk.  Applications can be installed on a different disk.

• 15 - af004ns: update hard drive SSD 15-af004ns

  Hello

  How can I change my hard drive with an SSD? Is it possible?

  Thank you.

  Yes, possible. Here is the Service Manual:

  Your manual

  See page 40 for instructions on removing the hard drive. A 2.5 inch wide SATA SSD will be installed instead of the hard drive. The hardest part is migration/relocation of software, but if the old drive still works, you can make a recovery HP USB or Windows itself has a capacity of backup and restore.

  Technically, the removal of the hard drive is not allowed for the consumer but HP assured us if you do without damaging the computer laptop, warranty won't be not taken away.

• Pavilion 15-ab057nr: How can I change for one SSD HARD drive and update my RAM?

  Hi, I would like to change the hard drive of my computer (Pavilion 15-ab057nr) for one ssd and also add another module of RAM. The problem is that I've never opened a laptop before, and I don't know where to start, or what should I do after I opened the computer. I don't know if anyone could help me by giving me a guide on how to perform these upgrades, every little detail would be useful. Thank you.

  Hi @IYMF,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

  I stumbled upon your post on the HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-ab057nr and tried to help you! I looked in your question about upgrading the internal hardware. I understand that you are looking to upgrade your hard drive to a Solid State Drive, as well as adding another module of RAM.

  Here is a link to your Service Manual. You can find the specifications for compatible discs on page 49. Please note that this laptop model doesn't support that type hybrid Solid State Drives.

  Maintenance manual, page 55, there will be a list of the size of RAM supported, but also a guide on the replacement of the RAM. Up to 16 GB of RAM may be supported in a 8GB x 2 configuration.

  On pages 46 to 50 of your maintenance manual, you will find instructions on how to remove the rear panel of the laptop, as well as, instructions on the removal of the original hard drive.

  I also found this Vidéo Guide giving visual aid on the replacement of the hard disk. The model of laptop in the video is not exactly the same as the model that you have, but it can provide assistance, however.

  Please let me know how it goes.

• Cloning hard drive SSD - STARTUP FILES ARE GONE

  So I recently bought an SSD to put in my computer with my current hard drive.  I used this tutorial: http://lifehacker.com/5837543/how-to-migrate-to-a-solid-state-drive-without-reinstalling-windows to clone my hard drive of my ssd.  I was planning on just moving to the ssd (including my os) and then using my drive hard just store files on.  When I followed these steps, he created a "system reserved" disk (D :) on my computer.  I went into the bios and choose my SSD to boot from, but he said that he could not.  Thanks to some research I discovered that the system reserved player will often take startup files.  I was wondering if there is any way I could move the boot system files reserved my ssd drive.  I formatted my original hard drive yet so I think that the boot files should always be out there as well (?).  I have either a windows installation disc.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Permutation of my HARD drive SSD, need a file ISO in Windows 8

  Hi all

  First of all, sorry for the long story, I want to clarify.
  I use a laptop ASUS ROG G750, came with preinstalled Windows 8. I've updated to windows 8.1 blue as it was released.
  I am facing the load always full HARD drive problems constantly, tried several solutions but not worked so far (the parameters of maintenance, defragmentation...). Some have said probably the cause comes from the windows installation, the establishment did not leave 350MB partition C:... I have no idea, and all other stations have no training. This should be the last of them, as other people who buy the same laptop got a 30% rate to have this problem.
  I want to move to a SSD, I got a Plextor M5S 128 G.  Now the new problem arises... I don't know how to start.
  1. I would like to install Windows 8.1 directly, but I think that my laptop have windows 8, and it wouldn't work like that.
  2. I don't have a Windows 8 or 8.1 version OEM to install, I tried an ISO from the site of microsoft retailer, but it requires a key retailer...
  So it would be great and awesome if someone can tell me anywhere who can make me an official ISO file, Windows 8 legitimate. There are a lot of windows 8 / 8.1 preactivated out there to get it, but above all they are Pro or enterprise... version I don't want to use a cracked version of Windows, as I don't have a product key, why would I?
  -----------------
  UPDATE: Im download an OEM of Windows 8 version from an unreliable source, it mentions that if my laptop has Slic 3.0, it would automatically add the product key from the Bios...
  If it works?
  -----------------
  Any thoughts?
  Thanks in advance.

  That's what you do:

  If you're running Windows 8:

  Press Windows + W

  Type: create the recovery disk

  Press enter

  Insert a USB stick 8 GB or more space

  Click next and follow the instructions on the screen

  If you are running Windows 8.1:

  Press Windows + S

  Type: create the recovery disk

  Press enter

  Insert a USB stick 8 GB or more space

  Click next and follow the instructions on the screen

  Connect the recovery drive and the start of it.

  When booting from the recovery of Windows 8 disk (USB drive or optical disk); the Windows logo is displayed on a black screen for a few moments; in the background, the computer actually starts in the environment of Windows Recovery (called simply, Windows RE).
  Windows RE is based on Windows PE (Windows Preinstallation Environment)

  How Windows RE works, once a prompt asking the user to choose a keyboard layout; for example, we could choose available United States. However, if the layout you want do not appear; then, select,
  See more keyboards.
  (There is a total of 16 pages of keyboard layouts, arranged in alphabetical order).
  
  

  

  This next screen allows three important options:
  
  
  

  
   
  Click the Troubleshootingoption: it's the refresh option. Reset the computer; or, use the advanced disk recovery tools.
   
  
  Click the Reset the PCoption: this option will reset the PC and at the same time, remove all the files.
  Windows RE will find and save all data, settings, and applications; It will then install a fresh copy of Windows and restore all data, applications and settings.
  When the PC is restarted. Connect with the existing username and password and it will find all the installed data.
  
  However, desktop applications that have been installed will not be backed up or restored. the reasoning is that it is possible that a recently installed desktop application might be the cause of instability.
  Windows RE will create a list of applications that were not backed up or restored, so that a decision can be taken, if it need to reinstall them.

• Replace hard drive SSD

  I have a 15 inch macbook pro late 2008.This came with a 250 GB hard drive that I partitioned

  two areas of 125 GB that appear as separate HD1 and HD2 hard drives on my desktop. I have OSX 10.5.11

  the HD1 and the last OSX El Capitan on HD2. According to what I want to do I can boot from either HD

  and so each OS. I want to replace my original with a SSD hard drive. The little material is quite simple

  but I want to retain the same configuration on disk partitions, i.e. 2 new with OS on each different

  and all applications and files for each. Basically an exact copy of the original disc.

  I have free external USB and FireWire HDs and a copy of Super Duper. How can I go about it?

  Use a utility like SuperDupercloning or double clone. Clone your original drive on another external drive firewire is bootable.

  Then after installing the new disk, boot from the clone and clone for the new SSD.

• Difficulty finding a WD external hard drive after update to 10.11.4

  Hello
  last week I updated my OS to El Capitan 10.11.4.
  After that, I have problems, make a backup on my external drive (Wester Digital MY Passport Ultra).
  After reset total of my iMac, the backup runs once, but the hourly automated backup stops.
  A manual start is not successful.

  The external hard drive is visible in the finder, but clicking the map Backups.backupdb, nothing happens. After a reboot all backups are still visible.
  It seems that the external hard drive is dismantled after the initial backup.

  Time Machine is running, HD connected properly.
  Latest version of the WD software is installed.

  Does anyone know the solution for this problem.

  Hi wots36,

• Hard drive SSD 80 GB in the Qosmio G50-10 t

  Hello

  Is this hard drive Intel SSD X 25-M 80 GB will work ok as a main system in the Qosmio G50-10 t.

  Hello

  The Qosmio G50 supports SATA 2.5 HDD.
  The Intel SSD X 25 - M 80 GB is a 2.5 SSD with the SATA interface.

  I think that the SSD should work in your G50 and the BIOS should recognize it because it supports the SATA interface as well.

  PS: there is also a disc SSD Intel X 18 - M Mainstream SATA, but it s 1.8 just and not 2.5

• Replace hard drive SSD on end 2009 27 "iMac

  end 2009 27 "imac

  OS X 10.11.3

  3.06 GHz intel Core 2 Duo

  4 GB memory

  According to the genius bar, the Seagate 1 TB hard drive on my end 2009 27 "iMac is a failure.  They told me that they do not have the parts to replace and suggest I do myself or take it to Best Buy.  Best Buy said that they are unable to do so I can't to try it myself.  I read and watched directions to ifixit and several other sites.  I am convinced that I have the skills to do the replacement, but I'm less confident about the purchase of equipment:

  (1) Ifixit say I should use a Seagate drive to replace the Seagate drive I have.  Engineering made no mention of this.

  (2) engineering suggested I buy a Crucial BX200 480 GB SATA 6 GB/s 7 mm (with 9.5 mm adapter) 2.5 "disk flash internal SSD (part #CT7414188).  The essential site says I need part CTSSDCONVT a 2.5 "to 3.5" SATA SSD/HHD converter for 2006-2012 MacPro.  They suggest that it will work in my iMac as well.  Articles and discussions have referenced problems with noise from the fan and order and mention with fixes software and manual control of the speed of the fans.  When I mentioned questions fan of genius, he said not to worry about this, and the Crucial site makes no mention of him either.  The SSD costs $129,99 and converter $ 21,50 for a total of $151,49.

  (3) OWC offers aDIY Bundle which includes a 480 Electra of mercury GB 3 G SSD, newer technology AdaptaDrive to allow installation of the 2.5 "SSD and a digital probe online that eliminates the noise of the fan and maintains control of the correct system fan through management for the iMac system controller.  The package costs $199,75.

  Bundle OWC seems like a good deal but it seems to me that SSD Crucial works to 6 GB/s and the Electra of mercury to 3 Gbps.  If I go through the replacement, it seems more sensible to get the 6 GB/s.

  I wonder if I can mix and match and use the Crucial SSD with the Adaptadrive of more recent technology and digital sensor OWC.

  Any suggestions from anyone who has done this replacement would be appreciated.

  2009 iMacs have SATA 2 - meant 3Gbps rate.  It does not matter if you use 2 SATA and SATA 3 - you get only speed SATA 2.

  Second - the adapter for 2.5 to 3 5 - don't hang a lot of money on this,-l'ebay has many choices.

  My personal experience, support 'intel' works best - since it is the length, so the seat fits much better.

  Yes, you can mix and match - choose what might suit you best.

  For me, I had Apple OEM SSD (Samsung doing this - 256 GB, SATA 3) with intel on iMac 2011 (SATA 3 speed), with support from OWC thermal line sensor.

  Samsung 830 (256 GB and SATA 3) on iMac 2010 (SATA 2 speed), with support from Intel, with OWC thermal line sensor.

  Note: the probe heat 2010 and 2011 are different.

  Good luck.
