Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?

Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?  The bios is version v3.26, and the operating system is XP with SP3.  40 gig HD is full and you are looking to replace it but do not know what the size limit is with this bios version.

Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion a705w desktop. This is based on the assumption that you converted the 5 and 0 and the fact that you mentioned a 40 GB hard drive.

You already have the most current version of the BIOS of your computer and running the most recent service pack of Windows XP. Your computer and the operating system should support a drive of 500 GB without problem. The only problem is that your computer isn't any SATA ports, only 66/100 IDE (PATA). Look at local retailers and online for the IDE drives.

  • What can I put the RAM and the hard drive of a Macbook Pro 13 "2014 in a Macbook Pro 13" 2016?

    The main logic of my Macbook Pro 13 "2014 card is broken, and it turns out that it will be much easier and just slightly more expensive, buying a new Macbook Pro that, in order to replace. I would like to set up my new Macbook Pro 13 "online in a way such that it is as cheap as possible, while always respecting the level of my former. So, if I could order one with the minimum of RAM and disk space hard and then put these pieces of my old in the new, this would be ideal.

  • Can I put the 80 GB of HARD drive in an Apple MacBook A1181

    Hi people

    I have the opportunity of buying one handed to nine computer 80 GB Apple MacBook A1181 laptop at a very good price (to replace a broken ASUS eee PC if someone asks why).

    In the MacBook HARD drive is 80 GB.  It is (apparently) running Mac OS x 10.7 Lion

    It's an easy task to do the following:

    (a) replace the 80 GB HARD drive with a larger - eg 500 GB

    (b) install Windows 7 (running under Bootcamp)?

    (c) install Microsoft Office 2010 (for Windows) - I have the installation discs

    If so, can someone explain HOW (knowing that I'm a Windows user in the long run, but did not use the MacBook/Macs)

    Also, if the battery does not charge, it's (relatively) easy to replace work or not?

    Thanks in advance (and Happy New Year)

    RB

    Yes, it's a relatively easy job to do, but it is worth to upgrade a macbook from 2007? It's a very old machine and it may not last that long. I would not recommend it.

    However.

    It is easy to replace the hard drive. https://www.iFixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+Duo+hard+drive+replacement/282

    Installation of bootcamp is also pretty simple before installation of Windows 7 and previous versions on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support (Please note that you will need a 32-bit version of windows 7)

    Battery can be changed easy super. You only need a coin to do.

    still more mac differs from windows because it is more pre-defined and settings are located a little differently. Also, everything you do with control is now in the order (so cmd + C and cmd + V).

    Conclusion: Yes, you can use the macbook that you could buy, but you must consider the costs of the upgrade (you will most likely need more RAM to run any programs so our) and how long you plan to use this laptop.

    See you soon!

  • ZBook 15u G2: is it possible to upgrade the G2 Zbook 15u from the 500 GB Samsung SSD 850 evo 500 GB SATA HARD disk?

    Turns out that the hard drive that I got this laptop when I bought it is not really meet my needs, and I'm looking to upgrade. I looked around, and the EVO of 850 SSD Samsung 500 GB seems a good choice for what I'm looking for.

    I just wanted to check if my cell phone is compatible with this ssd. My initial assumption is 'yes' but before I drop money I wanted to confirm this. For reference, I went to the start with the 500 GB SATA hard drive, and I'm looking to upgrade the 500 GB Samsung ssd 850 evo.

    I can provide the SN of my laptop for reference, if needed.

    Hello

    The simple answer is Yes you can. You can use a standard SSD 2.5 "to replace the current HARD drive. And the Samsung is a good choice.

    Kind regards.

  • virtual hard disk to a SATA hard drive?

    I can create the VHD as a SATA hard drive please?

    Hello

    No you can't create a virtual drive IDE or SCSI, SATA hard drive.

    Any reason that you want to create a SATA drive? If it's for performance reasons, then a SCSI disk tends to outperform the SATA drive.

    If it's because your host has SATA drives, then it doesn't matter that the disk subsystem is completely isolated from the host, the virtual machine does not know what type of disk system is used to host.

    hope this helps,

  • Can Satellite Pro L300-22N - I use a SATA hard drive?

    Hi all!

    My hard drive is broken. Now, I want to put a new one in it. I have a SATA hard drive, but I can put it in this laptop? Because the old one was an ATA (I guess)

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    I can confirm the info given by Liam.
    The L300 supports the SATA interface and you use the SATA 2.5 HARD disk

  • I can't install the second disk sata hard

    I have a problem when install the second disk sata hard
    I bought a new one 500 GB and I installed windows xp sp3
    and it works well I plugged in SATA 0 port
    When I want to install a second sata hard disk 320 on sata 1
    and it has an important data, windows will reboot, and do
    blue screen sometimes 'NTFS.sys"or"SCSIPORT.sys.
    and it is written "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".
    If someone help me what should I do or there is no FIX for this problem.

    in the BIOS I have regcognized both hard drivers:
    IDE pri master 500 GB
    PRI IDE slave 320
    Second master IDE-
    Second slave IDE-
    PORT SATA - 0
    SATA 1 - PORT

    I plugged the IDE 2 cd-rom

    ----------
    Specification of the device:
    Windows xp sp3
    card mother gigabyte 848P
    Intel ICH5
    Intel 8I848p775-g
    Celeron D Socket 775

    You said that the hard drives are sata but your bios recognizes them as IDE depending on your position. You might have to set your bios to operate in sata mode or enable AHCI of have recognized them as sata. Regarding the error you get, look in the system BIOS to boot from hard disk command menu. This is different from the command menu of usual starting where you choose each time you start a cd ROM or hard drive ect... The parameter that I refer to determine which hard drive of your computer starts on the first. Change to the primary master 500 GB disk > save your settings and restart your computer. Even if one is defined as main and the other slave is not serious. Some bios have the ability to choose what hard drive to boot from. In other words, it is adjustable to start first on the slave drive.
