15 t-n200: replacement hard drive dead: what should I buy HP replacement, or everything will work with recovery media?

I have a HP Pavilion 15 t-n200 laptop computer running Windows 7, 64-bit.

The computer got extremely slow and work stoppage. HP diagnostic indicates a failed hard drive, and my warranty has expired. I DO NOT have the recovery media.

My question is this: if I buy the recovery media for my HP computer, should I also buy HP hard drive for it to install correctly? Or can I just simply buy a HDD from a local retailer and use HP recovery support (and the certificate of Authenticity on the back of Microsoft) to reinstall WIndows 7?

Some people suggest that it will work very well, while other members of the forum here have talked about issues and something of tattoos on the hard drive or the Council.

Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!

Hello

No, you don't need to buy the HP's HARD drive, you can buy anywhere, but please use the same band (normally from Toshiba, but please check the label) for the compatibility and capacity or more.

Kind regards.

  • HARD drive dead, change?

    I have a Macbook Pro 15 "i7 mid 2012. My HARD drive just died (slowly and painfully). In a first stage, it froze, then after a reboot, Finder was to crash and restart. Another reboot failed, it just froze on the logo Apple, next took 20 minutes, but it finally began. I thought I could solve the problem by upgrading the operating system (he had done that in a while, I got Yosemite) so I downloaded El Capitan via the app store, but when it was supposed to restart to start the installation, it froze again. I also have Windows 8 on bootcamp so I switched to that to see if it was also weird, but it looked good so I decided to start OS X in safe mode, see if it helps. It didn't, although it start faster, but Finder broke again and finally it froze. I started toward the top of the recovery partition, I have not a Time Machine backup, but an option to reinstall OS X presented themselves, since I already downloaded El Capitan. I tried, but when he asked me to choose the drive it says just that Macintosh HD is locked. I started the recovery disk utility to try to fix it, but he said that he could not, and I should try and save the files that I can and delete it (or replace). At this point I could is no longer connects on OS X, either normally or in safe mode, it would just turn off after about half a minute of the apple logo, and when I tried Windows he just said that there are no operating system. I finally started to recovery and I erased (reluctantly) Macintosh HD, hoping that I could at least save the HARD drive and reinstalling OS X, even if I lost everything. That no longer works and now it won't start in the recovery and said utility disk, the disk has a hardware problem that is not repairable and S.M.A.R.T. status is a failure.

    Now, I'm sure that I won't be able to retrieve my files (but good me if I'm wrong and you know a way) so I need to buy a new HARD drive. Is there a certain type or brand should I buy? I should get the same as (a Samsung 500 GB ST500LM012 I think)? Then I upgraded to an SSD and if so who would work? And also once I change it, how can I reinstall OS X? The Macbook didn't come with a CD and I'm guessing that the new HARD drive will not this recovery partition or an equivalent.

    I'm sorry that I wrote a novel here, I was trying to be thorough. Thanks for any help!

    Any case 2.5 "HDD will work. My personal preferences are HGST and Seagate but there will be a cheerleader for all brands,

    It is the same for one SSD.  The best right now is OWC and Crucial, in my opinion.  This is based on personal experience and the return of the veterans participating ASC comments.

    Search here for possible candidates:

    http://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-notebook/

    With respect to data recovery, you can try to search for software on the Internet, generally, there is a free trial version and if it seems to work, you will need to purchase the software.  You can also retain the services of professional data recovery company, but that will be very expensive with no guarantee.

    My laptop is running out of space so I need to transfer the games mainly from my laptop on an external hard drive.   What are the steps to achieve this?

    Go to computer stores, get an external hard drive of 1 TB capacity. Ask for one that you can just simply copy and paste to transfer files.

    I have a. Digital WD Elements. 1 TB vapacity. It works very well. No action of fancy, complicated to transfer, just copy and paste or drag and drop files.

    I also use it to make Sysytem Image backup.

  • A drive enclosure hard card SBT-EKU25 will work with a Toshiba Satellite L355D?

    As the title indicates, I would like to know if a Sabrent SBT-EKU25 ultra slim USB 2.0 hard drive 2.5 inch pregnant will it work with my Toshiba Satellite L355D model. I've never used a hard drive enclosure before and I just want to be sure that it will work with my computer before buying it.

    The housing of the hard drive, it also says IDE/PATA, but I know not really knowing what that means. I would be very happy if someone would inform me on that as well.

    Thank you for your time.

    MissSakura.

    Hello!

    I don't know, but as I know that this model comes with a SATA (Serial ATA) hard disk drive & enclosure is PATA (Parallel ATA), so it won't work. but you can try and take your laptop to a computer guy and ask him to be sure if the hard drive can be adapted to your external case. Also, if it is a SATA hard drive you can always go for an external SATA enclosure.

    Hello

    Have you checked the manual of the Satellite P10?
    Sometimes, compatible CD/DVD players are in the user manual that must be installed on your laptop.
    If you n t have the user manual, then you can download from the Toshiba page.

    However, if you don't get the right info in the user's manual then I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country for details.
    Usually, you can order a player taken in charge of these guys here.

    It is important that you know which drives are compatible because of the different master\slave\c-salt settings.

    Bye and good luck

  • What type of DVD should I buy to burn my Windows Movie Maker movie? Also, I have Windows DVD Maker, but no DVD burner. What should I buy?

    I created a movie in Movie Maker.  I bought some DVD + r's - the correct burn the movie on?  Also, I don't have a burner, I thought that I did, I can only burn a CD what should I buy?  I don't have a Windows DVD authoring program.

    Hi rondah,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community newsgroups.

    The type of recordable DVD, you need to use depends on your DVD burner, as well as on your DVD player. Some DVD burners can burn only to certain types of DVD recordable. For example, with some DVD burners, you can only record to DVD + R discs or DVD + RW or DVD-R or DVD - RW discs, while some other DVD burners will let you burn on all of these recordable DVD types.

    As long as your DVD burner supports burning to these types of discs, you can use Windows DVD creation to burn a DVD using one of the following types of recordable and re-recordable DVD media: DVD + R, DVD + RW, DVD - R, DVD - RW, and DVD - ROM. These recordable or rewritable DVDs can be either simple single laminate or single sided double layer.

    You should also consider the device you're using to play the DVD once you have engraved, if possible. Some DVD players and DVD - ROM drives play only certain types of DVD. To determine what types of DVDs your DVD player or DVD - ROM drive can play, see the documentation that came with your device or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

  • LR6 will work with my photos that are in the iCloud drive?

    LR6 will work with my photos that are in the iCloud drive?

    The simplest method is to keep your photos and the catalog on an external hard drive. With LR installed on both machines you can share everything between the two that will be always synchronized. And you won't have to worry about an internet connection to stay in harmony.

    Or take a look at the video of Mike on Dropbox. Dosen t He pictures in the cloud, but his Smart Catalog and previews folder sync to the cloud.
