Envy DV7: What size/form factor hard drive is in my laptop?

Good evening.

Well, my desire for two year, died the other day care of overheating the chronic problems that seem struck Envys at this time. My block of cooling died beforehand, that was probably the cause of the rise in temperature. Yep, that burning smell of rubber from the exhaust vents was kind of present that something was wrong, as well as the characters of ding strange wing that the display has been put in place and the intense heat of the keyboard who suddenly developed. Unfortunately, it was out of warranty. I really liked this PC, too.

In any case, I would remove the hard disk that is inside to retrieve the data using an external hard drive enclosure but I need to know what size or form factor of the hard drive is to buy the appropriate forum. I guess it's a 2.5-inch form factor. Is this correct?

Thank you very much

Bob

Yes, it is 2.5 inches. You can just buy SATA TO USB adapter:

  • Satellite Pro 4280 - what is the size of the HARD drive?

    I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280. According to the manual, it should have a 6.0 GB HDD but in my computer it is shown as having only a 1.34 GB capacity.

    PS I formatted the disk to remove the former owner data and operating system and you have installed Windows 98SE

    [Edited by: admin]

    Hello

    Satellite Pro 428Xcdt was certainly delivered with 6 GB HARD drive.
    Are you sure that you have checked the size of the HARD drive correctly?

    I guess the 1.34 GB is a free space on the HARD disk.

  • What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?

    What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?  Also, WHERE can I find this specification?  Drobo claims that 16 TB is the largest external RAID supported and I do not.

    FYI............ 2 UPDATES since I posted this question:

    "1. Drobo has updated their FIRMWARE to allow now to 'beyond' 64 power to RAID".  Thus, their original 16 TB limit has now been replaced by their new limit of 64 to.  Also note that when you use a Drobo, Apple Mac OS does correctly shows space 'Drive' and the 'free space', if the Drobo 16TB exceeds the size; but the Application DashBoard of Drobo displays the correct numbers.  For example, my Drobo 5 d contains 5, 8 TB disks, for a total size beyond 40 to RAID (theoretically, since most of us should know, now, that the ACTUAL SIZE IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER than THE THEORETICAL SIZE).  AVAILABLE FOR USE ACTUAL SIZE IS ONLY 28.9 TB.  Thus, 40-28, 9 = 11.1 TB gets used in place for the PROTECTION of RAID beyond and the difference between REAL SPACE and SPACE THEORY.  It IS NORMAL because any RAID 5 device always uses about 1 size of hard drive for its Protection.  So, knowing this, the DeskTop icon showing 28.9 TB disk space and free space as everything that is not yet used.  However, instead, the Mac OS shows 70,37 TB disk space and free space like 68,37 TB, which are both incorrect.  Although I'd love it if Mac OS has been magically increase my disk space, in fact, these two numbers are false.  Drobo knows this, and Apple has not, in my discussions with both.  So I hope, between the two companies, that this problem can be corrected.

    2. after many hours on the phone with Apple Support, through no less than 6 people including 2 senior advisers, NONE OF THEM COULD ANSWER MY QUESTION ON CE WHO IS MAXIMUM ALLOWED HARD DRIVE or RAID SPACE AUTHORIZED BY Yosemite and El Capitan.  For me, THIS IMPORTANT FACT SHOULD SIMPLY BE LISTED IN THE OS SPECIFICATION TECHNIQUE, it's quick and easy to read on the Support Site.  But Apple is the new bureaucracy, they are, I don't see what is happening any time soon.  So, be aware that, for now, HE IS No. LIMIT ON SIZE, as an Apple adviser said; but could not confirm in writing; and, IT IS AN INCORRECT DISPLAY SIZE AND FREE SPACE, if your drive is greater than an unknown 16 + TB in size.  Note that I have 3 other RAIDs that are properly in place showing that 9 TB, TB 12 and 18 to size; but I do not know how the SIZE IS IMPORTANT to ensure that the operating system display it correctly, except for my Drobo TB 40.  So, the bottom line, somewhere between to 18 and 40 to is where he goes wrong, in its display of sizes.

  • The recovery disk is sensitive to the size of the hard drive?

    Hello

    I just bought my new laptop Satellite.

    I have owned one of these puppies before and so I know that the Toshiba recovery disc is a ghost image.

    What I did is erased the hard drive clean because it's a piece of the circuit city showroom and t couldn't trust what was out there.

    I put Ubuntu on the laptop. I want to put Vista on a VM.

    As you can imagine, the virtual machine would have much less space than the actual size of the hard drive (200 GB) but of course, large enough to accommodate the installation of vista and all the goodies of Toshiba.

    With this all said, the image will be cough, hanging and allows me not to install during installation of the ghost due to the different size image in space? So say the laptops hard drive space, it is 200 GB, but I only allocated 50 GB virtual hard disk.

    Now I don't have a version of the class my program of schools Microsoft vista legitimate business, but I would use the home premium came with the laptop and use that Toshiba had provided me.

    Then, going to work, or it will not?

    Thank you for your comments.

    > I wonder what the disc labeled "Toshiba recovery disk' which is come with my new laptop that I just bought actually is then.
    Don t confuse boyfriend new Toshiba with Vista OS notebooks are equipped with HARD drive recovery option. But it also contains an option to create a recovery DVD in case the HARD disk will fail.

    If you buy an old series laptop with Win XP, then it might be possible that you don t have the option to drive HARD recovery, but instead, you've got a recovery disk.

    As you said above; the recovery disk contains an image (I doubt it s a ghost still image) that contains an operating system Windows, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.

    Hello

    You are welcome.

    Check on Amazon or Newegg for a replacement HARD drive.

    Here's what's in your PC now. You have a hybrid HARD drive.

    • Size: 1 TB HARD drive

  • Pavilion dv7-4000 1 replacement of hard drives with more

    I have a dv7-4000 series double portable hard drive running windows 7 64 bit. One of the drives died and I am looking to buy a replacement and want to upgrade, but I'm not sure if I have 2 hard disks of different sizes.

    (1) can I replace factory bad HARD drive with a larger 320? (I'd then 1 factory 320 GB drive and 1 car again, more)

    (2) is the brand of the material of hard drive (Toshiba courses)?

    (3) are there any specific specs I should look for or avoid (ie. rpm, Gbps, etc.)?

    Hi wweksjk! : Yes, you can have 2 HD with different capacities for example on my PC of Xion MSI, which was built in 2006, I had 2 HD Western Digital, respectively 160 GB & 250 GB divided into 3 partitions

    the brand name is not as important as the number of turns faster the car turns your computer will be faster

    also look at the size of the buffer on the disk as well because the more it will speed up the boot time as well

    However install a new drive as boot drive will be complex, but if you follow the instructions that come with the HD installer it is possible

    for example, a 7200 RPM drive is faster than a 5400 RPM, but not as fast as a model k 10 or 15 k

    Good luck

    hope this helps to & help

    Happy holidays!

  • Is there a limit on the size of the hard drive that can recognize ESX?

    Hello

    I would like to know if there is any limitation with regard to the size of the hard drive that can recognize an ESX 3.5 Server? I have a Dell server with 1.8 TB of HDD. When I try to install ESX 3.5 on it, ESX shows that space and be approzimately 1.4 TB. I understand that ESX requires little space, but I would not be the image that it's 400GO.

    What is a RAID?  You could have 6 300 GB drives, RAID requires treatment, and basically, 1 disc is overload, so it seems you are using RAID 5 (if you have 6 disks).  In this case, that is right you have 1.4 flying over, which is what ESX sees.

  • What capacity of the HARD drive in 1670CDS

    New, I HAV Satellite 1670CDS with Phoenix BIOS ver. A 1.07.
    My drive HARD broked down. I have to buy a new one. What capacity of the HARD drive will be detected BIOS corectly? How many GB of hard drive I can buy?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    This kind of information can give you just authorized partner. I found the info your device comes with 6 GB of HARD drive. Am I wrong?

    I'm sure you can use 10 or even 12 GB of HARD drive without any problem. If you want to use more than capacity, it is possible that it will not be recognized by the BIOS.

    I found an offereor which has guaranteed that even at 30 or 40 GB hard drives can be used on older models, but the BIOS should be handled with the special tool and is not for free.

  • I can't say what's on my hard drive and what is in my iCloud

    I'm trying to free up hard drive space and storage iCloud added.  Unfortunately, I'm unable to see exactly what is on my hard drive.  I don't have duplication, but to delete almost everything on my hard drive.

    Help?

    iCloud is geared towards sharing between devices and is not designed for cloud storage only. Everything you place in iCloud Drive will also keep a copy of your MacBook. You can save possibly reduce the space required on your Mac if you use iCloud photo library by going to the preferences of Photos and turn on "Optimize Mac storage" but which only applies to photos and will be possible only if space is needed.

    There are 3 third-party services like Dropbox and OneDrive that have options for cloud storage only.

  • What is the largest hard drive that will work in dv6324us laptop computer?

    What is the largest hard drive that will work in a HP Pavilion dv6324us laptop?

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01035677.PDF

    Support for HARD drives and capacities are listed in Chapter 3, page 3-25.

    Personally, I think you could install a SATA II 320 GB to your laptop.  Maybe even a 500 GB.

    You could also probably install a drive of 7 200 rpm for better performance or if the battery life between charges is more important for you, then stick with a disk of 5 400 rpm.

    Please help me. How can I unlock my administrator account while accessing this form another hard drive. ?

    Please help me...
    I use windows xp svc pack 3. some how it gets corrupted now and all my important data is in the folder my documents on my desk. I got my account with a password. I tried to repair my widows through the recovery console, but I was unable to open a session in my Windows through this procedure just stuck computer is there. even when I tried to fix it through the installation of windows, Setup also stuck on the step where it says "in search for earlier versions of windows."
    now, I tried to copy the data by accessing another operating system on another hard drive but when I opened my account administrator located in the documents and settings folder, it says access is denied. I really need that data on these files is very important to me.
    If you have an administrator password in windows, then the recovery console would need in order to log in the disk system, i.e. the c prompt.
     
    If you tried to do a repair with the cd, then it may not have worked if your cd is the sp2 version of windows on your computer has been updated to sp3 version.  for the sp2 of xp cd works, you will need to uninstall the update to sp3 via Add/Remove programs.
     
    so, now that you have enslaved the hard drive on another computer, you will need to do is try to take ownership of the files/folders:
