G60-249WM hard drive

Hi there I am working on a G60-249WM for a friend computers out of warranty, I already know that. The computer would not start open the hard drive was bad because it was a ticking noise while trying to access. The main thing I was wondering is:

I can replace it with any lets say (western digital, maxtor, samsung) drive or I need to buy a specific one?

I work on computers normally on a daily basis, I know with most companies, you can throw any hard drive in there and it'll work like my girlfriends and my friends Asus bridge. Just wondering if HP has been in the same way.

Thank you

You can replace the hard drive with all the brands or any size any specific required...

    Your model must run Windows 7 well. There are even Win 7 drivers posted at HP. There are 3 different models of G60 235 (CA, DX, WM) listed, but this is an example:

    Hello

    I see no reason why a hard drive 7200 RPM would not work.

    I put SSDS in both my latops and have no issues.  An SSD was in need of a firmware update but otherwise no problem.

    You can check the size of the hard disk to ensure than a standard notebook drive 2.5 "can hold in the hard drive caddy.

  • Install Vista on the replacement hard drive?

    The hard drive in the venerable (but reliable) G60 my wife gave up.  After five or six years, we are unable to find its recovery disks.  The Microsoft Certificate of authenticity is also unreadable.

    My wife bought a spare by a local retailer.  How can I download a copy of Vista to burn it to a CD (or get media) and can HP be able to support the number of the original certificate if I give them the serial number?  Who do I start?

    Thanks in advance.

    In fact, we found its recovery disks (surprisingly), is not a problem.  I'm going to close this message.

    Hello

    That sound great for the hard drive.

    With regard to the problem you have with Windows activation, it's because your laptop is listed as originally came with Windows 7 Home Premium - as I mentioned in my guide for the creation of a sale installation disc at retail, the image that you use needs to be also be Home Premium - IE you cannot move to professional or ultimate edition as the key on your COA label will not work for a different version of Home Premium and there is no way around that.

    The image that should be used is on the following link.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    You will need to create another disc of installation using the above Image and then use it to reinstall Windows 7 - the activation methods I described previously, then will work fine.

    Kind regards

  • No Windows Update after I upgraded my hard drive.

    OT: Vista updates installed.

    I had problems with my laptop since the middle of December 2014.

    I'm looking at what updates have been installed under the heading "Programs and the Features\Installed updates" and it seems (I have no updated filters) see updates only occur "long ago" and do not show updates since December 12, 2014 or updates for Nov 2014.

    In July, I improved my HDD from 160G to a WDC 1 TB drive and reloaded everything, like I said everything was good until the middle of the Dec, then I started to have high memory use, high CPU usage and a generally slow laptop.

    Laptop is a 104 CA of HP G60 Model with mem 4 GB AMD Athlon X 2 processor 1 TB Western Digital HD.

    Any help with this would be great, or if anyone else has problems like Norton 360 multi user is updated and active!

    Hello

    Windows updates are normally released on the second Tuesday of each month, so it would work very well at some had no update since December 12.

    You confuse me however when you mentioned November 2014 as well as...

    You can also be infected by the malware. It should run a scan with the following programs and delete anything that they detect.

    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - http://malwarebytes.org

    AdwCleaner - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner

    Junkware Removal Tool - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/junkware-removal-tool

    If please download MiniToolBox and save it to your desktop. Double click on it, select list installed programs and click OK. A journal is open, please send the contents of it in your response.

    I recommend that you only perform a scan with the auditor of the filesystem, which will scan your system for missing/corrupted or damaged files and will try to correct them.

  • How to install windows 7 on a laptop after hard drive crash?

    I have a G60-235DX laptop where the hard drive is going bad.  It came with Windows Vista installed and then has been upgraded via the program from windows 7 to windows 7.  The hard drive is bad and now only works when it feels like it.  I have a replacement hard drive on the road and want to be able to reinstall windows 7 without having to pay anything.  Is it possible to do?  I don't like on the files on the computer, only the operating system.  Can I do something?  Thanks in advance!

    Yes, the disc is a disc 'upgrade', but you should not need to upgrade to Vista. According to "SUPERSITE of Thurrott", you should be able to install multimedia upgrade without a previous installation and activate it. The key seems to penetrate the Windows product key, that the installation is completed, instead of first application. Please try this and let us know how it goes.

  • When I deleted a picture of my MacBook, why it also remove the external hard drive?

    So I tried to help my wife to free up space on his MacBook Pro by putting all of his photos on an external hard drive. After iPhoto slide the hard disk and wait 40 minutes so that he could transfer, I wanted to make sure it worked. I ejected the disk and then plugged in. Of course, all iphotos were still there. Just to be sure, I deleted one file in the folder on the computer's iphoto. I went to my shock and horror, the external hard drive, that it has been deleted it too! How is that possible? I've been scouring the Internet trying to retrieve this file with no luck. It was not in the trash. There is a tab "recently deleted". Time machine was not turned on. iCloud shows nothing. I can't download any software, because the computer is completely filled. How is it possible that by deleting this folder on the computer he did also leave the hard drive? AND it has not been saved in the trash? I have used PC, and whenever I need something in return, he was ALWAYS in the trash. And if I deleted something on the computer with an external hard drive connected, it would NEVER be removed from the external hard drive at the same time. I'm so frustrated and feeling SO bad that I deleted a folder with important pictures of our kids. Is that what I can do to recover the pictures? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You used Time Machine at all? I see you say it was not on, but it never on and is at - it a backup Time Machine on the Macbook Pro?

  • How to change back to SSD HARD drive?

    My mcbook pro comes with the original 500 GB of HARD drive. When he ran with a problem, I went to an apple repair shop. Problem was in the charts, and he suggested the HARD drive to be replaced by a 120 GB SDD. So it has been replaced, but the guy on the left HARD drive as a storage device. Moment where DDI is left with small space and when I update to OS X El Capitan of OS Sierra, it had to be installed in the HARD disk drive. Could someone please give instructions to install the new OS to the SDS to lose all my data and the current configuration and it is also possible to install windows XP on the HARD drive and 10.  Either by the way, I got Windows 10 and XP shared with the SDS via parallels. Thank you

    I think this can be useful for you:

    How to use an SSD with your HARD drive

    If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do.

    After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume.

    Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder.

    Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content.

    Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

  • Seagate external hard drive / / no display

    Recently I bought a Portable Seagate 2 TB external hard drive for my MacBook Air. I put all my movies, music, ext documents on my hard drive with my important homework. The reason why I did was reset my mac, then return all my old documents, photos ext, back to their place of origin. I have managed to do and frees a lot of space. A few days after my MacBook fell asleep with a connected external hard drive and now the hard drive is no longer present on the desktop or in finder. I am able to find in my "disk utility" , but for some reason, it shows the hard drive passed out faded gray and full? I tried to hook up with different cables and on the various devices as well. Also sang the first aid option in "disk utility" with no other results. I have contacted apple support and found out it was the external hard drive with the problem, so they couldn't help me. They then redirected me to Seagate Support, and I had already tried the methods they gave me (see list above). I was wondering if anyone here on communities of Apple has experienced the same problem as me, it would be that much appreciated advice you may have. I have important files that I need to recover.

    Help, please!

  • MacBook Pro not mounting external hard drive

    My Macbook Pro (early 2015, running Mac OS Sierra) is not able to mount my [new] external hard drive (Seagate Backup Slim). It shows up in disk utility, but the volume seems shady. Nothing happens by pressing the command mount or performing first aid. Kindly help me out here.

    Hi vishesh97,

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

    We understand your question that you have a new external hard drive, a backup Slim Seagate, which does not appear when you connect to your MacBook Pro.

    Allows because it is a new hard drive, try to clear the disc first and formatting for Mac OS extended (journaled). The instructions for this process are found in the article below:

    For Mac disk utility: delete a volume using disk utility

    See you soon!
