• Can I change the HARD drive in my Elitebook 8540w for one SSD?

  Hello

  I have a HARD drive which started making funny noises and I expect to do fast enough. And while that is depressing in its own right, in my view, I better the situation and and put it in a fast SSD instead of the old thing. But before I go and buy the equipment I need to know that it can actually be done. I read another thread on this forum about to put an SSD in the expansion slot (CD/DVD), but I want to replace the main HARD drive. So my best guess is that it is possible, but if there are people here with experience, please guide me in how to proceed.

  I made a backup of all my important files so really the only thing I want to do is remove my old HDD and put a new and then install Windows 7 from disks that followed with the computer.

  I thank very you much for your time and your help.

  Hello

  Nothing don't you to replace an old HDD with a fastest SSD 'modern '. In theory, you can use ANY SDS but on the safe side, please use SSD suppliers which guarantees its product will work as the following seller:

  The process is very simple (I actually put a Crucial 960 GB to one of my machines today). My suggestion: prior to material things, backup all files/data and prepare a 'big bang' (in my case, I cloned my old HDD so very fast). Please read the following articles for more information:

  Hi Danniray,

  If both systems are running Windows 7, then it is very likely hard drives are both drives 2.5 "SATA. However, you need to reinstall Windows. Your Toshiba drive will not work as is in your Dell laptop.

  I'm running an integrator system Windows 7 64 bit on an older system. What I would do is change the hard drives for some more great and maybe change the CPU. Is it possible to re - install the generator in system because I'm not changing the motherboard?

  Yes, you can reinstall Windows 7 OEM System Builder License on the new hard drive with the new processor.

  It will not be a problem in this case, since you don't "move" installation, you are doing a new installation. The less it will take is activation of the phone, as you change the hard drive:

• Change the HARD drive in the laptop Satellite P10-304

  I bought a new hard drive for my laptop toshiba satellite sp10, can someone tell me were the hard drive is in the laptop, so I can change it as it does not tell you in the instructions booklet
  Thank you
  jm75uk

  Hello

  For some portable models change HARD drive is very simple and not complicated. Change the HARD drive in your case will be not so easy, and in my opinion, you should contact the service partner. I don't know how old is your laptop, and if the warranty is still valid, but as Tobi said if you open the Briefcase with laptop computer on your own, you can lose the warranty.

  I don't know, but the HARD drive should be placed somewhere under keyboard because on this model there is no coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner.

  Good bye

• Aspire ZC - 606 how can I replace the hard drive

  Aspire ZC - 606, that will not start. It emits a sound once and asking you "Reboot and select proper boot device" or insert the bootable media...

  I can start the installation and the drive is missing, only the CD/DVD is here.

  I need to pull the HDD and backup all the data on it and replace it.

  I can't find anywhere that shows me the removal process.

  I replaced several HARD drives in all-in-one but have always found some instructions.

  Someone help?

  Pete

  before changing the HARD drive, I would try another SATA cable, is the part number: 50.U86D5.002

  to open the back of your ZC, you must open the 2 feet at the bottom of the back cover and unscrew the 2 screws; with a PIN that you had to push into the small hole in the DVD player until he slip; Then, you can lift the back cover.
