Drive replacement hard Compaq CQ58-205SL

Hi all

In the last few weeks my PC started to show an error message during boot saying: "SMART hard drive check failure: imminent failure" or something similar. In any case I have already concluded that the only way I have to solve this problem is to replace the hard drive, so I wanted to replace the old with a new, maybe better. I'm looking to make myself so I would like to know if there is a guide and advice on which drive hard I have to buy.
Thanks in advance.

You need to replace the original with a disk hard drive hard laptop SATA is the same ability or more. Keeping the capacity of the new drive is less than 1.5 TB. Your laptop "Media 6.35 cm (2.5 in.) 9.5 mm hard disks (. 37-in) and thicknesses of 7.0 mm (. 28 in).

You will need your drive series recovery or recovery usb support to restore the operating system and drivers required on the laptop.

Is your laptop still under warranty? Check the status of your warranty here.

  • Drive replacement hard satellite 1900 704

    Hello!
    I have problems with my hard drive, I think it is dying...
    So I want to replace it with a new one, but I don't know where the hard drive.
    Anyone know where it is and if it's easy to remove?

    Thanks ^_^

    Hello
    It is very easy to swap the HDD on Satellite 1900. At the bottom you will see the HDD cover (near battery) fixed with two screws. Remove them and the HARD drive can be removed. If I remember correctly, the HARD drive is on this cover but replacement is not complicated.

    Hello Fiona-s,

    Thanks for posting in the Forum of Support HP!

    I'm afraid that the HARD drive has failed - the question is material one and all simply restore/reinstall will not solve it. Yes, you need to replace the HARD disk new or better with the SSD. SSDS are up to 10 times faster than hard drives:

    > http://ocz.com/consumer/ssd-guide/ssd-vs-hdd

    > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

    There are more than 100 manufacturers and sellers SSD, but personally, I would choose Samsung, Intel, Toshiba, or OCZ ones.

    Microsoft Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 have supported for SSDS. Vista and XP - no

    You will need a recovery media to restore the windows once you have installed the new SSD or HARD disk.

    You can get possible by contacting HP Support. Here's how:

  • How to replace Windows 8 with Windows 7 on a Compaq CQ58

    Hello!

    Yesterday, I bought a Compaq CQ58 with Windows 8 on it. I would buy Windows 7 to replace Windows 8 with. But:

    1. it is posible to change 06:52 on my laptop CQ58?

    2 and if so, can I have programs default HP on this subject?

    3 and if so, how?

    When you request support, please provide the model name and product number complete (p/n) of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

    The information requested above are on the bottom of your computer, inside the battery compartment or on the BIOS boot screen. Please see How can I find my model number or product number? for help more to find this information. DO NOT include your serial number. Please enter the product/model information consumer HP Online Support page and post it here for our review.

    1. it is posible to change 06:52 on my laptop CQ58? YES, it is probably possible to install Windows 7 on your computer.

    2 and if so, can I have programs default HP on this subject? NO.

    3 and if so, how?

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

    After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

    If you install from a USB key and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '. This should clear up the CD/DVD device is missing.

    In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

    From the top...

    (1) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

    (2) when the MENU is displayed, press "F10".

    3) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", 'USB 3.0 pré-OS Config' and the value 'Auto '.

    4) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", "Startup Options" and "Secure Boot" the value 'Legacy Support' the value "Enabled" and "Disabled"

    5) press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes".

    (6) computer should restart and display "Change of operating system startup Mode"... type the four digit code, then press "ENTER".

    (7) let Windows 8 boot to the top and put the Windows 7 SP1media in the drive to DVD or a USB port, then logout / stop.

    (8) to turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

    (9) when the MENU is displayed, press the key "F9" and then select the correct boot UEFI source (CD/DVD drive internal, USB drive, CD/DVD, USB Flash drive, etc.). ... Press any key to start the CD/DVD, if prompted.

    (10) select "Language", "time / currency ' and 'Keyboard' settings and then click"Next ".

    11) click on 'install now '... Check "Accept terms" and click "next". Click on "Custom (Advanced)".

    (12) you may need to provide Intel or AMD SATA/RAID drivers at the moment...

    (13) ' where do you want to install Windows 7? Select "Disk / Partition" with "Unallocated space", you created earlier, and then click "next".

    (14) follow all instructions and meet the need. Enter the Windows 7 key when asked.

    (15) download and install the drivers from the support page for your computer.

    After installing the drivers, please post the "Hardware ID" Device Manager (text only) for all other devices missing or unknown as illustrated in the example below.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Replace hard drive DC7600 mini lathe

    I have a HP Compaq Business Desktop dc7600 - P4 630 convertible minitower which was provided with two drives 80Gbyte hard.  I would like to replace one of the disks (D) with 160 GB SATA 3.0 GB/s hard (HP PY277AA part number) or hard drive of 250 GB SATA 3.0 GB/s (number PY278AA).  Is there a reason not to go for the biggest of them?  BIOS won't recognize the larger size and how to configure it?  And, finally, when I open the case of the PC, is it obvious which drive (C or D) is that?

    Thank you

    You will have no problem according to the size of the disk. You can just remove old and plug replacement. When installed go to computer, right-click and select manage and find disk management. It will show the new drive as empty space, and you can do a right click on it create a partition and format and do not forget to assign a drive letter. I guess that drive D is for storage. Readers don't will not labeled C and D physically but not bootable drive will usually be in the higher numbered SATA port. You can certainly test and error if all else fails. Simply unplug one then the other and see if the system boots. I personally would clone the existing to the new drive, which will be faster startup disk. If you need help with that, after return.

  • A100 replacement hard drive

    I saw the other posts on this but no definitive answer.
    My HARD drive is dying and needs to be replaced. I see the posotion from the LHS is under the Palm drive and there seems to be one removable flap - other posts say there is only one screw to remove, but there is no visible screws under the machine.

    I've changed hard disks on other Toshibas with absolutetly no problem - someone at - it ideas?

    Hello

    Replace HARD drive on this laptop is not simply the procedure. I'm not 100% sure, but the entire Palm rest/Touchpad should be removed first. HARD drive cover is fixed with a screw, but you'll see him only if the Palm is deleted.

    When this screw is removed, hold the HARD drive tab and pull the HARD drive bracket. Next step is to detach the HARD drive from the HARD drive support.
    The device is quite new and first of all, check if the warranty is still valid.

    It is not so easy to change the HARD drive on this model.
    You have to remove many parts like keyboard, screen, cover and screw a lot.
    It's a little tricky, so you should have experience with this.

    As Akuma, go to a local ASP (authorized service provider) has said. They can help you replace the HARD drive.

    Hello

    You MUST use SATA, no choice. You're probably talking about SSD. There are several standard HDD around. I bought one week last disk HARD next to test things-much cheaper elsewhere

  • Qosmio F60-111 - HARD drive replacement

    I have a F60-111 and he had a problem bad hard drive several months ago, he was not even a year and was already late and crashing all the time. I have 3 years international warranty for it, so I sent the laptop in Saudi Arabia and the hard drive was replaced in January, I got just now, but I am disappointed. The laptop works, of course, but the replacement hard drive was only 100 GB, which is a big downgrade of its original capacity of 600 GB.

    My problem is my laptop has been repaired, but it was replaced by a lower capacity hard drive. I feel blurry, am I entitled to compensation? Thank you.

    Hello

    That s is truly amazing. Please don t wait so long and communicate with this service as soon as possible. Explain the situation and ask their explanation. Something like that should not happen, and the defective HARD drive must be exchanged with the same.

    If they do not cooperate you should comment a threat by directly contacting Toshiba.

    What do you think of this?

  • With the help of product recovery CD when the hard drive replaced

    Hi all

    It seems that my hard drive is defective, so I bought a replacement, installed in the laptop OK and tried to use the Toshiba product recovery disc. The laptop started with the disc OK and recovery of product starting screen appeared and I started the process. The process starts, but then crashes and no matter how much time wait nothing further happens.

    I put the defective hard drive, back to and started on the recovery disk and it started and the process started OK.

    The recovery disc can not be used on a replacement hard drive? Surely, this is possible, as hard drives do fail and must be replaced.

    Can someone tell me how to fix it please?

    Thanks in advance!

    In General, you can use recovery image after replacing HARD drive. I did the same thing on my machine.
    It was: is the new HARD drive recognized properly? After Exchange of HDD enter BIOS and check this.
    Before you begin the recovery image installation if please try to set the BIOS to the default settings and try reinstalling the recovery image.
