17i wanted to replace SSD HARD drive

I just bought a new screen Envy 17 t tactile image with a 1 TB HARD drive 5400 RPM. At the same time, I bought a new Samsung 840EVO 500 GB SSD with the intention to replace the slower HARD disk with the fastest SSD. I thought it would be a simple switch (I replaced the older drive in my laptop with no problems). I thought it would be a few screws and a small sign removed from underneath the laptop and everything would be made.

But after I got the new machine, I got everything install and running and left information for the SSD HARD drive, I have everything off and returned the machine and unfortunately... There are no signs (as described in the documentation) that I expected. She only siingle piece!

How to HARD drive to replace it? Am I supposed to remove all the screws and remove the bottom or top (where the keyboard is) does jump off and you have access from above?

Help!

This model requires the removal of the top cover to the hard disk:

  • Replace SSD hard drive on laptop HP 650?

    Hello

    I read here that some HP laptops BIOS will only recognize certain approved components, such as wlan etc. cards

    What I would do is replace the hard drive on my laptop HP 650 - C5C49EA with a Plextor SSD and would like to know if there is a BIOS (or other) limitations that would prevent this.

    I read the interview and the Guide Service for this model, and have made similar exchanges before, I am confident in my ability to lead the real exchange.

    Thank you!

    Hello:

    Normally, this restriction applies only to network WLAN and WWAN cards.

    I have never heard of anyone having a problem of rejection of the BIOS on a PC built in the last 3 years on the installation of an SSD.  Some old PC recognize an SSD as a hard drive, but the BIOS would not have rejected it with a device unsupported error code.

    Your PC should have no problem to launch a SSD instead of the mechanical hard drive.

  • I want to replace my hard drive with an SSD. I is a SATA drive, but do not know the type.

    I have a model m9373.me, an office, built in 2008. I want to change my SATA hard drive for an SSD, but I can't know what the active drive SATA type is. Should the new disk SSD be SATA I, II or III? How will I know?

    Here are the specifications of your computer has HP Pavilion Elite m9373.me-. According to specifications, your computer is shipped with 2 x 750 GB drives (3.0 Gbps) SATAII 7200 RPM hard. Depending on the age of your computer, it supports the SATAII specification. Any SSD you buy will probably be a device SATAIII (6.0 GB/s) and will be retro-compatible with SATAII ports on your motherboard. Note that the SSD will only transfer data as fast as allow the port of the motherboard. You won't get the full implementation of the SSD in this system.

  • Acer Aspire V15 Nitro replace SSD HARD drive

    I bought this laptop in March 2015. This laptop comes with 1 TB of HDD.

    I wanted to replace the HDD SSD but I called the service center (Service of Highpoint), Acer technician told me that there is no way to replace with SSD because the port is different, any SSD can also compatible with this laptop HARD drive port.

    This make me very confuse because I search in google, replace with SSD is quite possible.

    So I'm here to ask for advice. Hope can get a response. Thank you.

    Published:

    My laptop model: Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition (VN7 - 591 G)

    -Core i7 4710Q

    -12 GB OF DDR3 RAM

    -HARD DRIVE 1 TB

    -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M

    you have 2 options on your laptop:

    (1) switch for one SSD 1 TB HARD drive

    (2) add an SSD on form factory M2 on its location (top-left, near the fan), so you can have installed SSD and HDD

    the second option, other users have done so, and sometimes they have had some problems during the recording of the SSD as first boot device (or window Boot Manager), since the BIOS tries to boot from SATA port.

    You can force it by pressing F12 at startup and select the appropriate boot device.

    It is up to you.

  • ProBook 4720 s replacement SSD HARD drive

    Hello.

    The hard drive in my ProBook s 4720 died recently and I would like to replace it with an SSD. Some computers are known to have a "white list" incorporated in their bios of the materials they will accept. Before I have to buy the new drive, I would like to know if it will work with my computer.

    the model I have in mind is:

    Samsung 840 TLC base 120 GB (MZ-7TD120BW)

    Than you for your answers.

    It should not be a reason any, that it wouldn't work. I have install third party SATA SSD in HP laptops all the time without any problems.

    One caveat with the 4720 s given it is a XP - era system - if you haven't done so already, upgrade to Windows 7. Earlier versions of Windows do not support for SSD TRIM functions, which can lead to the degradation of performance and service life deteriorated as well as potential data security issues when you use SSDS.

    Seems that you need a 2.5 IDE HARD drive.
    I think you can take a 120 GB HDD and the HDD should work properly.

    HARD drive Bay must be placed at the bottom of the unit.
    Its guarantee with a plastic cover and screw. Remove the screw, then cover in plastic and then you should be able to remove the HARD drive...

    See page 47 for hard disk access and replacement. Without the drive of the WSSD, it is just a matter of replacing the HDD with a SSD 1 TB. Cloning a larger to a smaller drive can be a bit complicated so post back if you need some help with that.

    I always recommend a Samsung Evo 850 as best consumer SSD. I recommend you get at least a version of 250 gig and preferably a 500.

    You don't need to worry about any special BIOS settings or anything just to plug and treat it like any other hard drive. Many people resist the question and read articles that are a few years old at the time when you had to 'create' the system for one SSD. Not really need more.

  • Satellite U945-S4110 replacement SSD HARD drive

    Hello

    Recently in my ultrabook, I replaced the drive HARD SSD TOSHIBA Q Series Pro 256 GB.

    For the SSD to work and to be able to install the system, I had to remove the second disk, mSATA SSD 32 GB, because the system does not want to install.

    Because I am a passionate fan, I want to ask for advice on how to force them to work the two discs. What are the steps, or what are the programs should be used.

    Thanks in advance for your help and your patience

    I guess you want to install the system using the reader of external CD/DVD or start from the key USB flash memory.
    Right?
    In both cases, you must disable the option 'safe start' available in the BIOS.

    In addition in the case of installation of Windows 7, you must pass the UEFI boot mode option to the CSM.
    If you want to install Win 8, you can still use the UEFI mode.

  • Replacability SSD/hard DRIVE on the new Y400/Y500 series

    Hi forum, I know laptops are not yet published, but I wonder about their hardware configurations.

    I am running a Y560p with Self installed 64 GB msata WSSD, and I noticed that the new Y500 Y400 will have of the WSSD of 16 GB. I wonder: 1. why these small capacity and 2. will it be possible to replace the standard mssd with a WSSD of 64/128 GB, and then use that drive as start/program drive the HDrive has no need go up during the use of the battery.

    If the HD will work with DSS, all energy savings are cancelled and is one of the few things that stop me from buying a Y400 at the time wherever he is released, it has estimated 3 HOURS of battery LIFE? In my view, it could certainly be expanded through base being installed on msata programs (web browser, office, etc.).

    Thank you!

    Yes, I think so. In other laptops with preinstalled msata ssd, ssd is first of smaller size and is used for the cache.

  • Qosmio X 500 - 10W - can I replace the HARD drive with another?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio X 500 - 10W with two drive HARD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500 GB 5400 RPM 8 MB? SATA II but is one of the hs so I'm wondering if I can be replaced by a more powerful style, drive HARD 750 GB 7200 RPM / min 16 MB Toshiba courses?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Your question is a bit hard to understand, but I think you want to replace the HARD drive with another (faster) model, right?

    Well, that s no problem. 7200 RPM hard drives works, they are a little stronger, but they're faster so if you need more performance without problem.
    750 GB or more are also no problem because the SATA interface is not the limited capacity. Theoretically 1 TB or more should also work.

    Anyway, you can buy the 750Go you mentioned that it will work. :)

  • to replace my hard drive from 160g to 500g, what do I know

    you want to replace my hard drive on a compaq presario sr055cl. It has a drive hard 160 g what size I can

    Here is the service manual showing how to replace a hard drive:

    Manual

    It has 2 SATA connectors. Here is a picture of the motherboard.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00069442

    It's primitive SATA. It is a SATA connection to an IDE bus. However, having a 160 gig drive already installed tells me that the motherboard will accept Large Block Addressing 48 bit (LBA48), which means that you are not really limited by size. I am sure a 500 gig drive will work and will bet that a 1 TB would also work. I also bet you would have problems with a disc high density 2 TB or more. The existing drive is an IDE, which means that it is connected to the motherboard with a flat ribbon cable. You will have a hard time finding an IDE drive on the market these days. It must be SATA. Simply attach a cable SATA data between the hard drive and the motherboard. You probably need a molex (4pin white) SATA power adapter, too, but often those that come with the hard disk or are available for a couple of bucks at the store where they sell hard drives.

    You should be able to clone the old drive using the new cloning software. I like and recommend Acronis True Image Home. If I did that I plug the new SATA drive into the port of the motherboard with the cover side and power also make the SATA drive. I would leave the original disc in and start cloning software disk doing a proportional resizing, all partitions are extended by the same percentage. After the clone is done remove the original disk and bolt the SATA drive in its place. I would just say allows you to add a second hard drive, but the computer doesn't have space for one unless you want to remove the card reader.

    You may need to enable the SATA ports in the BIOS if they are not currently in use. Photo linked above motherboard page shows how to enter the BIOS. If you need assistance.
