• Cannot physically remove the hard drive from the Pavilion dv4-1430us

  The disk hard origianal in this Pavilion dv4-1430us makes mechanical noises, so I will try to replace it with a new one.  I checked the owner's manual supplied with the dv4-1430us, and it gives these instructions (here condensed): 1) remove the power cord and disconnect the battery, 2) remove the hd plastic cover, 3) remove three screws of hard drive now the hd casing in place and 4) pull hard hd tab to the left then go out.

  The problems are: A) there is no hard drive to draw labels, and B) after you remove the three screws, can't do the hd if I push on it to move to the right or remove it from the left.  I don't want to use tools like screwdriver large flat blade or bars of little Crow because it seems like that would probably break something.  Does anyone know how to remove the hard drive of this particular model without breaking something?

  HaggisCat,

  Thanks for a very detailed and quick response.  It turns out the indications that I read in the manual, your statements and mine were all in line to exert a force on the hard drive in the direction indicated by the red arrow on your image.  (A picture is worth a thousand words and your supplied photo clarity that my summary of instructional text has not.)  I decided to take a picture of the entire hard drive in my dv4-1430us (see below) to show that there is no close tab Mylar pull, as there is on the photo you condition.   (The same gray metal tab that appears in your photo, but no mylar tab).

  

  Apparently my dv4-1430us had some differences at its Assembly of HD compared to yours.  As you can see, the structural elements that surround the HD are very similar to those of your photo, but there is no narrow mylar like in your photo tag.  There is a dark mylar or similar film plastic on top of my HD, and there is a triangle of silver color at the bottom right of this film that points in the same direction as your red arrow.  I tried lifting up the end of this film, mylar and pulling that direction (to the right in this picture), but a part of it (in the upper right corner of this photo) began to tear.  As the film seems to only be glued on the top edge of the caddy HD (also called frame or cage in some articles), I doubted that the show was strong enough to eliminate the stress of a closed winching.  A comrade who has put a video on YouTube showing this procedure also indicated that he had torn this layer of film when he first attempted to remove the HD.  Because I assume that the dark film has a purpose (static protection?)  I gave up shooting at the right edge of the film.

  However the consistency of the instructions in the manual, the instructions on this YouTube video and instructions in your answer on the direction in which the Assembly needed to move HD gave me the courage to put a force pushing the HD in the direction of your red arrow.  To do this, I placed the tip of a flat blade screwdriver large (blade about 5/16 "wide) at the points indicated at the ends of the two yellow arrows in my picture.  In these positions, the blade of screwdriver pushed against the HD box and not the hard drive itself.  Each of these two places, I gave him some very closed but controlled scrimmages, and HD finally moved in the direction of your red arrow as it is supposed to.  I then lifted all of the HD and replaced the HD without incident.

  The action drag the new HD in place was much easier that it was removing the original HD for the first time.  It was perhaps because of some hard rubber padding that has been placed on each side of the original HD assembly that makes for a very tight fit.

  I hope that this description is useful for others who do not have used mylar tab in their computers laptops dv4 and those whose HD assemblies are very tight in.  Thanks again for your quick response that gave me enough comfort to move forward.

• Can't access 2nd HARD drive on the Pavilion p6220nl?

  I had installed a second HDD SATA in my Pavilion p6220nl desktop computer by unplugging the DVD/CD player with its SATA data and power cables.  He succeeded and I was using my regular hard drive so my new drive to HARD drive for several weeks.

  Once my new SATA cable arrived, I tried to reinstall my DVD/CD player that I had also only 2 SATA power connectors.  Instead I tried to use very low power for the new HARD drive connector.  Result, I can not access my new HARD drive.  I tried back (i.e. unplugged my DVD/CD drive again and using this SATA power connector instead) and it still won't go.

  I updated my BIOS and tried everything I can think of, but without success.  If anyone can help?  Is there indeed a Molex Pin 4--> adapter SATA connector?  Could I have ruined my new HARD drive with the two small connector and power cables attached SATA power connector?  Is there a specific SATA ports they need to go in.

  Currently the situation is now:

  SATA Slot 0 - drive DVD/CD (data cable connected only)

  1 - usual HD SATA connector

  SATA connector 2 - new HARD drive

  Slot SATA 3 - empty

  Appreciate any advice or assistance.

  Thank you

  Stephen

  As you said, you had it working. Then attached a unknown thread on the disc. Now, reconnect to a wiring known, that worked. Don't know, don't worry. The car was damaged. Sorry!

• Add hard drive to the media center m7160n

  I added a western digital 500 GB hard drive in my hp media center m7160, no problem physically. Dosen't os find the new disk, while managing the set - up and device see. the device manager says that it works correctly, but that it was not initalized. question: How can I initialize it? Thanks a lot, well being, peace.                       DP

  Hello

  You may need to format the new HARD drive - try the following.

  If you are running Windows XP, see the guide on the following link.

  http://www.simplyguides.NET/guides/prepare_second_hdd/prepare_second_hdd1.shtml

  For Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8, follow these steps.

  Hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type compmgmt.msc , and then press ENTER.  Click disk management in the left pane and let readers load upward.  Right-click on your new HARD drive and select Format to start the wizard.  Windows assigns a Volume Label, so if you're happy with it, just leave the default.  File system is NTFS.  Allocation unit size must be left by default.  Select the option to perform a quick format if it is not already done.  Leave all the other default settings, and then click Ok, and then Ok to start the process.

  Once this done, your new HARD disk should now appear when you look under the computer.

  Kind regards

• Swapped the HARD drive of the Pavilion G6 2264sa with a Pavilion G6 1331sa HARD drive / brightness not wking... !!

  Hello

  Hope everyone is well and wonder if anyone can help me. My problem is my daughter's laptop, she is in the middle of the student to College and all of his work is on his laptop which is a:

  HP Pavilion G61331sa/1.6 GHZ AMD Quad-Core A8 - 3520M APU with Dual Radeon 6620 graphics card + 7450 M / 6 GB memory / dedicated graphics video AMD Radeon HD 6620 + 7450 M bi - GPU (1 GB of DDR3 memory) / 750 GB SATA (5400 RPM) HARD drive / running Windows 7.

  Unfortunately, my son accidentally spilled juice on the laptop. I quickly took all the preventive measures, turn off the power / battery disassembly / HDD and upsets the laptop. I also left in the closet of broadcast for a few days to dry out, then tried again. It lights up and the power light stays on and the fan works but the caps lock button warning light flashing and the screen remains empty, even when I try to use an external monitor via HDMI connections again the external screen is blank. It seems that most of the spill was on the left side of the keyboard because the keys are very sticky this side. I talked to HP to my problem that the laptop is still under warranty, however as we know that it does not cover accidents, and no, we don't have the coverage of the accident. My daughter is in the middle of exams a solution was needed pronto. It was suggested by HP techy guy to buy the modern equivalent with the same HARD drive and just change the HARD drive and update all the drivers.

  I bought a HP Pavilion G6 2264sa / Intel® Core™ i3 - 2370M / 4GB memory / 750 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive / graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 (up to 1.65 GB) running windows 8 (64-bit).

  I changed the HARD disk as proposed and updated all the drivers. There was a slight problem starting up but just had to go into the BIOS at startup (F1 key) Startup Configuration / settings and do know the Boot from the HDD instead of CD ROM, etc.. The HP Pavilion G6 2264sa started with the G6 1331sa HARD drive and works very well. My daughter doesn't have to worry about spending time to find away around a new laptop and windows 8. everything is just where she knows that it is.

  The only problem I have is the brightness (f2 and f3) doesn't seem to work and the screen is very bright degree to cause a headache. I have uninstalled and installed the graphics drivers but still no control over brightness...!

  Any ideas where I have gone wrong?

  Your suggestions and ideas will be very well received and appreciated.

  Thanks in advance...

  This computer does not display any right screen?

  And caps lock flahs once in 4 seconds?

  If it has been: is failled into a CPU and they want also to repair or change your motherboard.

  In any case, go to a place and make planning expenditures compared with the price of your laptop.

  Other way, the disk its ok so your girls its safe.

  You are very wellcome.

  If the HP Forum do not delete my account, I will have more pleasure and response.

• Install the new hard drive into the Pavilion DV2660se - full-size unrecognized

  I have a Pavilion DV2660se and recently began to receive messages from failure on my hard drive.  I was able to order a replacement - it is the same model # former disc, same size, etc..  I installed the drive, then started the system with the recovery discs.  It has been chugging along now for about 3 hours. While the process was ongoing, I was able to look at the drive and to see that it is only accepted with 24 GB instead of the 250 GB is it really.

  Any suggestions on what I can do to install this player and have all recognized?  Thanks for the tips!

  Well, I'm back, don't ask me how, I can at least with all rebuild...

• Pavilion p6-2033de: mounting an additional hard drive to the Pavilion p6 2033de

  I want to get an extra hard drive in this machine (SSD).  Can you tell me what I need to do?  It doesn't seem to be an extra Bay for another hard drive, although there is certainly a spare SATA connector on the motherboard and a spare power connector.  Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

  Hello

  Your PC is not configured for multiple drives.

  1. If you don't use your optical drive then remove it and use a 5.25 "adapter 2.5".  You can always get an external adapter or an enclosure for the optical drive.
  2. Use a 3.5 "to 2.5" adapter and attach the SSD to the bottom of the PC.
  3. This double stacking support 3.5 "HD with a 3.5" to 2.5 "adapter might work.
  4. You might be able to bolt the SSD on the area just above the hard drive. Try to align the SSD at inside the fame of some of the existing holes.  This thread can give you some ideas.

• change the hard drive in the Pavilion all-in - one ms228

  My hard drive has stopped working on my Pavillion ME 228 all in an office.   I found a replacement at a reasonable price.  I bought this computer in France a couple of years ago, it came with windows 7 family in french with a keyboard french azwerty.  Now, I have to change the hard drive is possible to put on Windows 7 'Ultimate' in English (I have the disc) and English qwerty keyboard would work on this subject?

  Any advice would be really appreciated.

  Yes, you can install Windows 7 Ultimate English and plug an English keyboard. It uses only a keyboard USB, right? Computers have no nationality... they will take the language of the hardware and software you install on them.

  If the computer did not come with Ultimate you will need a new key Code. You can install the English version of the Windows 7 level it came with (probably Home Premium) using your own key Code.

• Adding a hard drive to a Pavilion 6000 series computer

  My Pavilion p6210f computer blew a motherboard and I could not find a replacement card, so I bought refurbished HP computer. It seems the same, but the model number is simply: P6000 series. I want to spend the p6210f hard drive into the slot of extension on the refurbished machine. Until I opened the box, everyone sees a problem with this plan?

  I am running Windows 7, so what matters.

  Hello Linda820, here is the link for information on how to remove the hard drive from the Pavilion p6210f.

  Look at the bottom of the page for instructions on hard drive. It is a fairly simple process.

  The only real "shove" the process is the system of lock at the bottom of the hard drive cage. You can see in the photo instructions.

  Since you know exactly on the other HP model, it should be the same procedure to install the disk hard of the faulty system to the recently acquired system, or close to the same.

  You must cable Sata of the old system, given that the other system probably does not have one, and you need to connect to the right of the current hard drve Sata port port.

• I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?

  I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?  Somewhere in the 320 to 500 GB range and I want a quick unit because it will be used for rendering videos.    Thank you for your response.

  Hello

  How fast is fast is the real question.

  Have you looked at hybrid drives OCZ? Expensive but probably the fastest option.

  Seagate also made a hybrid hard drive.  Good price... You will need a 3.5 "to 2.5" support if the player does not support.  If you install the drive in an empty optical Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 2.5" support.

  Your other choice is 7 200 or 10 000 rpm traditional hard drives.

  Another option would be to add a PCI sata and two external hard dirves configured in RAID 0.

• Can I add a hard drive on the U840T-108 Satellite?

  Hello
  I bought a Toshiba Satellite U840T-108 and I had not noticed that there was a 128 GB SSD drive. I would like to add 1 to or 500 GB Sata hard drive.
  Is this possible? T Y is the room in the computer?
  Thank you
  PS: I'm French so excuse me if I speak little English.

  I can see in paper manuals s user that your machine is not the cover of HARD drive on the lower side, so for an upgrade low cover has to be removed and it must be done by the only authorized service.
  If you try to do this alone you will lose warranty valid.

  In my opinion, you have to call the nearest provider of Toshiba in your country, explain the situation and ask for advice. Guaranteed valid is very important to not do something on your own.

  Either way, I think your machine has connector disk HARD vacuum placed near the ventilation of cooling. I m not 100% sure all of this, but you can check with the technicians.

  I think the upgrade of one of my hard drives (ea 320) in my HP Pavilion laptop dv7-4069wm for more storage.  I like to keep the drive that contains the operating system to avoid the hassle to make a copy, but I'm not sure which one that is. I have not replaced a hard drive before, and still less a double disc. Recently, I added more RAM and noticed that both hard drives looked the same. Can someone tell me how to know the difference?

• Pavilion 4070 - us: new hard drive for the recovery disks do not work! Help!

  Hi - the hard drive on my Pavilion 4070 - crashed us, so I bought a replacement - a Samsung SSD 850 EVO, 256GB drive.  The problem is that I can't seem to get the recovery disks to work, and neither Microsoft nor HP is willing to help me.  Of course, Microsoft tells me they don't give me any help for Windows7 OEM versions and HP said that my product is no longer supported so they do not help me.  This is ridiculous - I own a legal copy of Windows 7 and I can't get any help from the company who sold me the computer?

  What happens when I go through the process of installation with the recovery discs, is that instead of the Windows installation continue as it is supposed to, I have "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any."  I'm desperate, I tried two different options - one was the minimum image recovery, the other was a factory restore.  Nothing seems to work. What can I do?   Moreover, the original hard drive is not * completely * dead - I can still access most of the data on it.

  Hello:

  Yes... It works fine for me.
