drive hard Max presario cq61-402sa

The hard driveon my presario cq61 402sa laptop is dead. So I need a new SATA drive. What is the greatest player that I can install it. The BIOS seems to be v20

Hello:

According to the manual, 500 GB at 5400 RPM.

I think you could install a SATA II 500 GB 7200 RPM, but the higher RPM drive will reduce the battery life between charges.

A 1 TB drive is too thick for the drive Bay.

  • Drive HARD Max size for Satellite 3000-514 with BIOS 2.30

    Hi people!

    What is the largest size HD notebook with BIOS 2.30 recognizes.
    I have not found any FAQ information ragarding this version of BIOS.

    Thx for your help.

    Hello

    Satellite 3000-514 supports the HARD disk sizes up to 30 GB.
    You need a disk HARD 2.5 ", the 9.5 mm support bus master IDE, synchronous Ultra DMA 33/66

    Larger sizes of HARD drive are not supported, and I guess that the BIOS will not recognize it.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Presario CQ61-110SL: upgrade for laptop Presario CQ61-110SL from XP to Windows 7 with new SSD EVO 840

    In fact on Presario CQ61-110SLI I have XP installed the Vista of origin instead.

    Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and contestually get a new SSD Samsung 840 rather original EVO... What is the correct procedure?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    There is no procedure to upgrade from XP to Win 7, it would be clean installation.

    1. place the SSD drive in the machine instead of the HARD disk

    2. start the installation of Win 7 disc to install Win 7 (best x 64 edition)

    3 install the drivers of the machine, you can download from >here<

    Windows 7 is optimized to work with SSD, there will be no problem.

    If you have important data on your old HDD, you can either save it before (on external support, USB key, Cloud solution, etc.)  or after it (via a USB cable plugged into the laptop as external drive). This is also an option to transfer data.

    Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Happy holidays!

  • Compaq presario cq61: compaq presario cq61

    Hello..

    Please can you help me?

    I have a compaq presario cq61 and I tried the code 3 times and a nother cod came

    65976686

    I saw that you will help many people, giving them a code

    thanx

    You are the very welcome.

    I'm not a PC repair in commerce or training technology, but that you normally get the message means that the hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

    Also, you need to reinstall the operating system on the hard drive of replacement (if you choose to replace it).

  • HP Presario CQ61-334ER: Windows 7 license

    Hello!
    A few years ago, I bought a HP Presario CQ61-334ER laptop with OS Windows 7 Home Basic already installed license.  Windows license key is noted on the label on the laptop, but there is no CD drive with the operating system.

    Now, there are a few problems with the hard drive, so I have to replace it with a new HARD drive.

    Can I reinstall the same version of Windows 7 on a new hard drive, using the psecified license key Windows on a laptop? Or I can reinstall OS on the new HARD drive using system repair discs?

    P.S. in Microsoft Support advised contact me HP support as the laptop was purchased with already installed the operating system.

    For your first game, you can try to order the HP recovery media to install so that you can restore it to the factory. See first part...

    Get a HP USB recovery or HP recovery disc drive
    Read this before ordering your recovery discs! (United States and Canada only)
    Creation of recovery disks or saving a recovery Image on a USB key-CD/DVD (Windows 7)

    As for your second part, your key to produce both that the laptop was unique to your laptop and located on the COA sticker. You can reinstall Windows 7, but it must match your previous Windows 7 Home Basic not another different version of Windows 7. Then your product key will work and you can re-enable again to make it work. If you bought a different version and higher to Windows 7 then you should got a new product with him key to activate the Windows 7 new with this.

    Hi all!

    I have a presario CQ61, which does not have anyting when I turned it on. The screen remains black, the fans start to run and I search for CD-Rom. Uppercase + numlock sparkle for 2 times in a row and then a short break and then they start again.

    I tried a hard reset, removed the CMOS battery, reinstalled the memory and the hard drive is not attached at this time.

    I hope someone has an idea of what is wrong with the laptop.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Compaq Presario CQ61 - 417SA Notebook PC Freeze issues

    Hello everyone

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ61 - 417SA Notebook PC running on Windows 7 Home Premium. The laptop freezes at random times, sometimes minutes after use or an hour after use. It does not result by clicking on a program or a file. I have printing freeze the problem may be caused by the failure of the hardware, possibly the HARD drive.

    Here are a few observations from the laptop and the things that I tried to diagnose or repair.

    • During a typical blocking the HDD LED light is always on
    • Also had the blue screen and freeze black screen
    • No error message
    • Hard disk becomes very hot
    • Entered the BIOS and run automatic test of the primary hard drive and memory Test using InsydeH20 Setup utility but it went together.
    • Laptop computer has been completely reset to factory settings so it is impossible due to the high utilization of the processor
    • Idle while the CPU usage is generally of the order of 13%-25%, with a peak of rare of 53%
    • The hard drive is a Western digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 2.5 "SATA

    The laptop is not used so wiping back to settings to original wasn't a problem, but I would like to return to a usable level.

    Thanks for any help you could offer

    Mike

    I was certain insistence autour in my computer and I'm done to restore back to factory settings. So far, it has not frozen and seems to work properly.

    I tried updating the BIOS with HP Support Assistant, but it does not work. Hoping to solve the problem I went online and updated my support Assistant. After this success, I then managed to download the BIOS from internet F.15 version I was also looking for. Everything seems to work quite fine at the moment, although there are a few updates to Windows that will not be installed. The progress bar shows the animation download but the installation hangs at 1 / 8. Some items are classified as "recommended" or "important" so any help with this problem would be immensely appreciated!
