Change hard drive HP Pavilion dv4-1433sb

I just got my HP Pavilion dv4-1433sb Small Business Edition Notebook - I bought with a 250 MB hard drive and you want to change a 500 MB or 750 MB drive befors I load all my programs and data.

Help please with two questions:

1. the computer comes with several factory-installed control programs, I want to keep - how can I get the transfgerred to the new hard disk?

2. this hard drive work in my new system?   http://www.TigerDirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4846364&CATID=1277

I like Seagate and is only $129-

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

1. your recovery cd/DVDs, then you can start with them in order to reinstall the software factory:

Another option is software imaging, although it is always preferable to also have all of the recovery.

Macrium Reflect disk imaging:

2. shoud hdd works, although we have seen some problems reported with 500 GB hard drive.

  • hard drive HP pavilion dv4-2145dx

    My cpu is just out on this laptop and the tech said it would cost too much difficulty and that it would be better to just get a new laptop. I ordered a new laptop and my question is can I take my hard drive off the broken one and transfer the information I have on my new computer? I was told there were maps and boxes of hard drive I could buy for it but do not know what to look for and those who would collaborate with the specs on this laptop. Also is it an easy process or require a lot of computer knowledge? I would greatly appreciate any advice or help I could get. I have so many things on the broken computer that I don't want to lose. Thank you

    Hello

    As far as I know the laptop supports the disk HARD 2.5 SATA.
    I think you could use a SATA SSD drive. Usually some SSDS require the firmware update but this should be provided by the manufacturers of SSD drives.

    What do I need install the second hard drive HP PAVILION: p6633w?

    Hello

    You need two cables, one is a sata cable:

    http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/30305659/706331346/STARTech-com-6in-SATA-to-right-angle-SATA-serial-ATA-cable-female-SATA-female-SATA-6-inch-red/ListingDetails.html?_%24JA=TSID:13315% 7Ccat: 30305659% 7Cprd: 30305659 & kw = {keyword}

    This cable is only for data and connect the hard drive to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

    The other cable is energy:

    http://www.itpartsdirect.com/STARTech-15-24cm-4-pin-Molex-to-SATA-power-cable-adaptor.html

    It connects the hard drive to the PSU.

    You can also buy a combo like this cable:

    http://www.Amazon.co.UK/DP/B00064GBT4/?tag=hydra0b-21&hvadid=9550951989&ref=asc_df_B00064GBT4

    All you have to do is to connect the hard drive and that's it. Make sure that the main drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are the numbers 1, 2, 3...)

  • 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.

  • HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15: I changed my hard drive (HP Pavilion), how can I get all features associated HP I used to have?

    My hard drive is broken on my HP Pavilion sleekbook 15.

    (Pavilion product number: D3D66EA-#UUW)

    I had to change it and, of course, to reinstall my windows 8.1 (I have the installation DVD)

    Everything works fine with windows, my problem is that the I ve lost all my HP related software and features.

    At the start, he says just something on the motherboard and then he hits me with a logo instead of the HP logo and stuff Windos... Everything seems to work twice as slow as it was before I had to change the HD? Both the HD: s had the same spesifications.

    Is there anyway I could get the default HP-software and features on my new hard drive?

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    You said that you have restored your PC using a DVD, but HP recover media consists of a SET of DVD, not a single DVD - so I have to assume that it was NOT a support of HP recovery.

    Ordinarily, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state. That would erase the entire disk, format the drive and install the operating system, drivers and utilities HP.

    Unfortunately, there is no support of HP recovery related to HP for your PC Product Page. This could be an oversight by HP, or it could also mean that HP stock is no longer the recovery media for your PC. They store any long recovery media for older PCs.

    You can try to contact the HP customer directly, using the links below, to see if you can order them if:

    If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

    If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

    NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!

    If HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    Good luck

    How can you know which hard drive can replace your current one? Also, you can replace a 1 TB harddrive with a 2 TB HDD? Thanks for your comments. I really have no knowledge about this.

    JTKB715, welcome to the forum.

    Here is the Product Specifications page for the computer.  The hard drive is SATA.

    Here is a guide of Western Digital that will show you the types of interfaces available and what hard drives are compatible with Windows 7.

    You can replace the disk of 1 TB with a 2 TB drive.  It is the maximum value supported by Windows 7.

  • Size of the hard drive HP Pavilion g6 - 2263sr

    Hi all!

    This week I bought a laptop HP Pavilion g6 - 2263sr with Windows 8 is installed.

    I am completely satisfied with it except for one thing.

    Her hard drive was designed in such a way that now it is divided into two discs (see the screenshot below). The C drive is disproportionate to the d drive. The problem is I want to reorganize their abilities (for example I want to drive C: be drive D: 115 GB and 180 GB). So my question is: is a user authorized to make these changes or this setting cannot be changed without resetting the BIOS and its setting of futher?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Please don't touch to D:, it's your last resource to get your machine. You can create another drive say F: C: cut in two. Please read the following article:

  • Qosmio F750-129 - change HARD drive

    Hi all

    For my QOSMIO F750-129, currenlty it works with native hard drive Hitachi HTS547575A9E384 (5400 RTM)

    I would change this hard drive for a faster:

    Seagate hybrid SSD Momentus XT ST750LX003 2,5 "SATA III 750GO (7200 RPM)
    or
    Hybrid of Seagate 1 TB portable computer SSHD ST1000LM014 (5400 RPM)

    Is it possible for you (power, temperature, SATA interface...)?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    To increase the performance of the laptop HARD drive change is recommended. I recommend exchanging it with SSD. You will see the difference. Computer laptop will start and runs much faster than before.

    Toshiba also offers SSD so if you need some info visit http://storage.toshiba.eu/cms/en/index.html

  • Satellite M30 - need to change HARD drive

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite SM30-104 (model No.: PSM30E-0QRYK-EN) in 2004 and it seems that the HARD drive is dead since it reboots windows xp family again and again. While Windows is loading, at some point, the laptop restarts from the beginning. I can not even access the Bios.

    Therefore, I suspect the HARD drive to be dead and would like to change: SMART MK4021GAS HDD2182 B ZE01 T, 40 GB, 4200 RPM,.

    Could you please let me know where I can buy a new, similar or compatible with more storage?

    Your response will be much appreciated!
    Best regards

    Florian PAUMEIR

    > Accordingly, I suspect the HARD drive to be dead and would like to change: SMART MK4021GAS HDD2182 B ZE01 T, 40 GB, 4200 RPM,.

    Hmm if the HDD died then windows would not load what whatever, and you get an OS message cannot be found.

    However, if you want to change the HARD drive then you can do this
    You will need a 2.5 IDE HDD. I think the 120 GB limitation due to the LBA28bit
    However, it is my personal opinion perhaps more HARD drive would be compatible as well

  • Can Equium L40 - I change hard drive SATA to AHCI Mode?

    Hello

    Anyone know if it is possible to change the hard drive to SATA AHCI (or same IDE) mode in the BIOS?

    I see the hard drive in the BIOS but I can't select to make changes as long as it is "gray".

    I installed the latest version of the BIOS, but that made no difference.
    Thank you very much.

    I put t have this model of laptop, but usually the controller SATA in BIOS mode options are AHCI or compatibility.
    I presume that it is set to AHCI.

    Your laptop's SATA HDD so I put t understand why you want to change anything. Using the AHCI mode HARD drive can operate at full speed.

  • Re: M100 change HARD drive

    Hello

    I have an 'old' Portege M100 and I suspect a broken HARD drive. The laptop freeze suddenly and sometimes crash with a blue screen. Most of the time it will not start at all. I managed to reinstall XP with my recovery CD twice, without change.
    I would like to change the HARD drive, but I read somewhere that the BIOS is actually on the HARD drive itself. Is this true? If so, how can I swap the HARD drive then? I also fear that changing the HARD drive will make inoperative recovery CD?

    Don't want to lose the M100 ;)

    Hello

    As mentioned, the BIOS is stored on the ROM chip which is part of the motherboard.
    To update the BIOS ROM module must be flashed.

    The other thing is that the replacement of the HARD disk is not really complicated.
    To my knowledge, you need the 2.5 IDE HARD drive.
    Bay drive HARD bottom of the unit and it s fixed with screws.
    If you remove the cover of the HARD drive Bay, you can easily remove the internal HARD disk.

    In some cases, it s in the cradle and you need remove the extra screws (2 on each side) so of to withdraw his support.

    See you soon
