  • Pavilion g7 1070US: installation of new SSD

    I'm helping a friend with a HP Pavilion g7 1070US laptop. His original hard drive crashed and we bought a PNY 960 GB SSD drive to replace its old WD 500 GB. We were able to restore his old Win 7 because while trying to create a USB startup device the MS site says our OEM license. So we bought a new Win 10 license with a USB and when you try to start the message; "Core security check failed" appears, and the computer restarts then cycling in the same message. I tried to boot from another key USB and DVD ROM created by MS media creator but the same warning message appearing.

    Later we have formatted the drive outside the laptop with a SATA adapter.  Reset us the BIOS by default. The drive is recognized by the internal BIOS diagnostic and test memory was also executed.  Both pass.  However, whenever a start is attempted the system responds with a BSOD and the message; "The verification of the security kernel failure".  All the world is facing a situation difficult always. I even bought an old copy of Win 7 Home edition and the installation CD has the same problem.

    Any suggestions...

  • Installation SSD in laptop HP Pavilion g7 2025sr

    I want to add SSD in laptop - HP Pavilion g7 2025 sr. (premium SSD370 Transcend SSD 128 GB 2.5 "SATA III MLC (TS128GSSD370))

    Issues related to the:
    1. What about compatibility with this laptop?
    2. can I use an SSD on the maximum settings (reading-530 MB/s, 470 MB/sec)?

    No problem. The SSD to settle and work. However, ask if he will take full advantage of the potential speed of the SSD, which means really wondering if the SATA ports can do SATA-III (600 Mbps) speed of transfer. The used chipset, AMD A70M, is capable of SATA-III and all indications are that your laptop is going to make a transfer SATA-III. Even if not, the difference between a SATA-II and SATA-III is negligible. Using a computer, it's like driving a road course, not the name of Bonneville Salt Flats. Very rarely you hit the upper theoretical transfer speed. In order to do not overthink it just to go and enjoy.

  • Installation SSD in customized HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook Edition

    Hello

    You may have two configs using SSDS. The first is to get an SSD as Samsung 256 GB 2.5 "(j'ai eu sur mon Core i5/GT 650 M Dv6-7000) Pro and use it as a main boot drive in the hard drive Bay." The second is to have an mSATA (a bit more difficult to access as says Hüffer) SSD as boot drive (I just got one on a laptop of M6-1000) and keep the hard drive for data.

    I prefer a pure SSD, but the way with mSATA as boot drive is also OK. However, there is no option in the BIOS to start from mSATA for the boot loader must be installed on the disk 2.5 "hard and the system on the mSATA one. I fear that, in both cases, you will need to perform a new installation, because strong readers are not as large as the original hard drives and recovery disks cannot work with them.

  • HP Pavillion DV6700: Is my HP Pavilion DV6700 Compatible with SSD?

    I would like to know if my HP laptop is compatible with SSDS. An Internet search turns postings that say that it is possible and other thay say my PC is not compatible with SSDS.

    Here is some info on my installation.

    My PC is a HP Pavilion DV6700 CTO Entertainment Notebook
    I am running Windows 7
    The PC came with Windows Vista

    The BIOS is Hewlett - Packard l58 2008-06-16
    The processor is Intel Core Duo CPU T7500 to 2.20 GHz, 2201 Mhz, 2 carrots, 2 logical processors

    The new SSD is a Samsung SSD of 850 EVO.

    (1) my PC is compatible with SSDS?

    (2) are there updates the BIOS or the settings of the software that I need to know?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Yes, it is a fully native SATA (ahci) system and an SSD works perfectly. With Windows 7 operating system will know it is a SSD and activate the TRIM and other optimizations to the SSD. It will be a version SATA slower that curent models but you still benefit greatly from an SSD. You must update the BIOS on this model, but not because of the SSD. There isn't quite enough important updates BIOS for this model which correct some problems of initial material as the fan operation and resume the suspension.

  • Pavilion g6-1d21dx: no luck update Pavilion g6-1d21dx to SSD

    I tried to replace the hard drive in my g6-1d21dx with a SSD Pavilion before enjoying the free update of Windows 10. I installed the drive (a unit of SanDisk Extreme 480 GB that I had sat unopened for a while) and then used my recovery discs for Windows 7 on SSD. The process seemed to go very well - he went through all the discs five recovery, restarted from the SSD and began the installation process. Soon, I got an error message "restoration incomplete" well. So much for that. (The HP Recovery Manager also gave me this incredibly helpful explanation: "there could be unexpected reboot phase Specialize in BBV1.) ("The process will cause panic CTO because the image might not be normal") on the reset, I also had an error message about ntoskrnl.exe is damaged or missing.

    I put the original back drive computer to and updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on this drive, just to get the license Windows 10 (it was the last day to get the free upgrade). I also used Windows 10 media creation tool to create a Windows 10 installation DVD. Then, I put the SDS back to and I tried to install Windows 10 using the DVD. I tried several times, but the installation has always fails. I got error messages like "Windows could not set the offline locale information. "Error code: 0x80FE0000" and "we could not format the selected partition. [Error: 0 x 8070057]. "I've also had this a few times:"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Windows cannot read the selected drive. Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Windows has no determine if this disc and his parents have the necessary driver support. »

    This computer isn't all what age - it is possible that the BIOS does not support the SSD? I updated the BIOS of the SSD, but that has not solved the problem. I also made sure the BIOS of the computer is up to date.

    Thanks in advance for any relevant information.

    Here are the conclusions that I have reached after spending a lot of time on this project to upgrade:

    At the beginning of this thread, what you advised me strongly to clone my old hard drive instead of trying a new install of Windows 10 on my SSD. I recommend the contrary unless your system works perfectly with your old hard drive, because this way, you can leave the system, the software and the data files on your old hard drive intact in case you go account you have to go back and check on something or you decide to abandon the upgrade. I found that there is no mystery to a cleaning only install on an SSD, as long your SSD is compatible with your computer. I had updated my old HDD from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and after this upgrade, I was getting other error messages every time, I started the computer (inaccessible_boot_device, unexpected_store_exception and kernel_data_input_error). Since there are so many problems on my old HDD, I have probably restores it to Windows 7 so I can always, in case I ever need to refer to my old configuration. Web sites said that once that Windows 10 has been enabled on your computer, future Windows 10 installs on the computer is automatically turned on, even if you have restored the machine to Windows 7 or Windows 8.

    If you try a new installation, make sure that you do so with an attached network cable. It makes a huge difference for me. A clean install without a connected network cable has led to all sorts of problems, including a lack of access to the Internet and some devices are not installed correctly. When I did a clean install with an attached network cable, all of my devices have been installed automatically. This includes the Synaptics touchpad, the HP wireless button, the AMD Radeon graphics card and the Realtek card reader. I didn't need to install whatever it is myself, and the Device Manager does not display the unknown devices. Wireless network connected during installation, even my Wi - Fi was not usable during or after installation.

    One final note: my g6 Pavilion is 64-bit capable, but I installed 32-bit Windows 10 on it, because I use an old software running under Windows 64-bit 10. So far, 32-bit Windows 10 seems to work very well.

  • the upgrade of my hard drive on my pavilion dv7 4280us.with SSD

    Upgrade to ssd drive using my recovery disc to install windows 7 it to load any disc 5 restarts to the start SCREEN of the HP LOGO screen and it doesn't recognize the OCZ VERTEX 4 DRIVE I install.

    My PC IS Pavilion dv7 4280us.

    Hello:

    At less than your SSD is the same size or larger than the mechanical drive, that you have replaced, the recovery disks will more than likely working.

    An alternative to the installation of W7 (only if you can read the full product key 25 character), is to do this:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  • Pavilion 15-bc018nl: upgrade SSD m2 in Pavilion 15-bc018nl

    Hi, recently I bought a Pavilion 15-bc018nl (X7H34EA #ABZ).
    I want to upgrade with a secondary hard drive using the port m2 (empty), but I was unable to find the right type of device (Sata or Pcie) m2.

    According to the "HP Pavilion Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service of Guide", these are the possible configurations:

    but I have no idea what kind of M.2 ssd should I buy...
    M.2 internal SATA port or the PCIe is?
    I also heard that in some cases the port of m2 is not enabled.

    So my question is: How can I know if the port of m2 is activated and M.2 SSD is compatible with it?

    Thank you much for the help!

    I finally got an answer from HP support, my port of m2 is successfully activated and works very well. It is sata and pcie compatible.

  • HP Pavilion 15-au006tx: HP Pavilion au006tx-15 m2 SSD update possible?

    Hello guys,.

    I plan to buy the HP Pavilion 15-au006tx. Wanted to know if it has a m2 Slot to add a SSD Boot?

    -Jenson

    We get this question a lot of things and right now I can't anyone buying a HP laptop with the idea of adding a player m2 to him when he does not comes with a counselor. There are a few long discussions here, which seems to have concluded that on some models the M.2 port is disabled in the BIOS, and another showed that a model that shows a m2 slot in the Service Manual actually has such without crack.

    See p. 34 of repair:

    Manual

    According to this manual that you can have a WSSD m2 or a hard drive because it refers to a jury of DSS and cable. It is also clear that if you can use a WSSD m2, you are limited to the SATA variety, which has no advantage of speed on a 2.5 not inches SATA SSD. I would buy it, because the specifications are very good and redeem the 1 TB 5400 RPM HARD 1 TB SATA III SSD drive and so 1 TB is not enough storage to you consider putting the 1 TB HARD drive in a caddy optical. Who uses our days DVD player, anyway?

    Extract the files on a usb flash drive.

    Hello

    My laptop has been super slow recently (it was 3.8 years).

    To increase performance, I want to get my current hard drive removed and would love an SSD to take his place.

    Also I want to increase my RAM 8 GB (4 GB)

    Kindly let me know if this is possible.

    There are two slots for RAM? If so, should I just buy a 4 GB addititonal or buy 4 recent 2 GB RAM?

    Manual

    See p. 46.

    You can buy 2 of them if you want but by adding 1 to the existing module also work very well and provides all the performance that the laptop is able to give as much as memory.

    Alternatively, you can install a 2.5-inch SATA SSD instead of hard drive. Let us know if you need help with reinstalling the software. With 10 already installed Windows, you can easily download a restore disc directly from Microsoft to at least get reinstalled OS on the SSD.

  • HP Pavilion P7-1155: Installation of new graphics cards hp p7-1155

    I have a new EVGA GEFORCE GT730 2 GB GDDR5 graphics card and am ready to install it in the box above.

    Haggiscat suggested this card through a previous post on this site. I printed the directions of installation of help from hp and I so the mechanics of the installation of this thing. These directions say disable the first onboard graphics card, then go into the box and install the new card. My question is: do I need to do something else first as in downloading the driver first / delete the old driver first.etc? Also, I have a disc that came with the new card. Use that to get the drivers or go to the website of invidia? I want this facility to go as gently as possible so expert help would be appreciated.

    I don't know how to direct you to the previous post, but it's in this section. Take a look for general information.

    I did some research after that discover your graphics update did not work.  I found another thread in which the motherboard is the same as the one you have and the video card is in the same family as the one you bought.

    I also see in other forums that the 720 thru 770 cards are not compatible with this motherboard.  I have not found a referenced compatible card.  A resolution has been accomplished by changing the motherboard.
