G71-340US notebook - a disc will modernize a SATA 3 GB/s 7200 RPM drive work?

The 320 GB drive that came with my laptop G71-340US is short of space, and I want to spend at least a 500 GB drive.  An upgrade to a SATA 3 GB/s 7200 RPM drive work? My thoughts are that if I upgrade the disk I might as well get a faster at this point drive if the G71-340US laptop will support it.

Thanks much for any help!

Hello

On some models, there are problems with 500 GB HARD drive. It is safer to stay with 320 GB drive HARD and just get the external HARD drive. If you have a chance, so it is interesting to test this great HARD drive. You can only check it is detected by the Bios or not.

If you are in the United States, then from there what I remember that Newegg offer return policy for what does not work for you.

You have 30 days for this step. Please check this information on your own because I'm not sure of him.

7200 RPM HARD drive runs faster and you will feel this change for you.

If you want to change the HARD drive for the biggest or fastest then you should use clonning like EASEUS Todo - Backupsoftware.

It will copy everything from old HDD again and allow you to use your system without having to reinstall.

See this tutorial. You will find information how to use this software.

You will need 2.5 "SATA external enclosure. Get in this new HARD drive and connect it to your laptop via USB.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem you face is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features is the specialized drivers written for the specific in your HP PC hardware - and unfortunately, there is no driver HP Win10 for your PC. HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

    This means that your PC is probably NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the pilots is needs for all features simply do not exist!

    Personally, I recommend this doing the upgrade, especially since I did this on a laptop HP DV6 under Win7 and trashed the laptop upgrade bad, I had to restore it if you work with HP recovery media.

    Good luck

  • How to enable virtualization on a HP G71-340US notebook

    I have a HP G71-340US notebook - PROD. MOM VM114UA #ABA 14.04 Ubuntu. I had many problems with the old installation of Win 7, so I converted to Ubuntu and a clean set of 14.04 Ubuntu. Since then, I can't use VirtualBox to 64-bit clients. How can I enable virtualization so that I can use VirtualBox 64 bit guest mode? Whenever I try to set up a guest on Vbox operating system, it allows only the 32-bit clients.  Everything I read on this topics comes back to the fact that this machine is not dematerialize. I was told to go into the bios and enable virtualization but I don't see this option in the bios. Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, this is not an option in the BIOS of your laptop.  The only way would be with a BIOS modified and that would violate the terms of warranty.

    Are there gotcha or things that I would need to know if I wanted to replace the HD to the laptop with a 7200 RPM drive? Or maybe even a little bigger than the 1 TB drive that is already there...

    I was wondering as well heat - they should have put in a drive of 5200rom for some reason...

  • G71-340US notebook: no sound after 10 Windows free update of WIN7 on a G71-340US laptop with CODEC IDT.

    After the free upgrade to WIN7 for WIN10 my laptop has no noise (with internal or external speakers). I tried to uninstall driver IDT and allowing windows 10 to reinstall the driver through scanning for changes of HW - still no sound. I would appreciate any guidance or fixes to this problem. Thank you.

    I'm happy to announce that I now have sound on my laptop G71-340US. After that more detailed error troubleshooting I found that there is an application called IDT Audio PC (aka IDT HD Sound) installed on my laptop by HP (OEM), I think. While I don't know exactly what function of this application is, it seems, it is related to activation of the feature of IDT HD Codec drivers. Somehow, I decided to look in Task Manager - startup and I saw this listed IDT Audio PC. I clicked on disable and then a minute later clicked on activate. After I did that, as simple as it seems, I have now heard both internal and external speakers. This is the first time I heard all the sounds since the upgrade to WIN10. I checked several times by re-booting my laptop and every time I now have sound. I will continue to test it through the week and see if it continues to be OK. In the meantime, I thought I'd share this potential fix (or solution) with all stakeholders. Perhaps others will find this useful and give me your comments. Fingers crossed!

    PS. BTW, if anyone out there knows what PC IDT sound is by all means share your knowledge. I'm curious why this app appears more often in the forum messages and how it can relate to the WIN10 upgrade. Sorry, but I do not remember what prompted me to look at the task - starting but Manager I'm glad I did. It's great to hear again!

    I've never had to use my recovery disc (touch wood), but I have the impression that it works in conjunction with a hidden partition on the hard drive in order to reinstall the operating system if and when necessary, I am not mistaken?

    Someone had to deal with this problem?

    Hello

    Yes, the restore CD installs everything you need in a single step.

    The point is that the Toshiba Recovery CD is not the same as an original CD of MS Windows. The restore CD contains an image. It s a Pack that included OS Win, Toshiba drivers, utilities and software tools extra.

    So, using the CD recovery will install all the applications mentioned, as well as the SATA drivers ;)

  • HP G71-340US recovery of the system using a new smaller hard drive (SSD)

    I replaced the hard drive on an HP G71-340US notebook with a Solid State Drive (240 GB).  The original drive (who did not) was a 320 GB drive.

    I tried to perform the Reovery of system using the recovery disks that I created when I bought the laptop.  However, the only option enabled when you are trying to restore is 'Factory Reset'.  When I choose this option, the recovery process may not continue his run as "... the hard drive of this computer is smaller than the original shipped hard disk.

    Is there a way I can go beyond that?  Any suggestions/help would be most appreciated!

    Thank you!

    HP System normal recoveries do not usually work on smaller hard disks. You may need to use a spinner legacy 320 GB hard drive and more capacity to perform the Factory image restore and then make a migration of data to the SSD. It is unfortunate that you chose to change for one SSD after the original spinner hard drive has failed.

    With SSDS, in particular the best method is to use a upgrade kit or data migration kit.

    A data migration kit consists of software cloning and a usb to SATA cable. The USB to SATA cable connect the SSD to the usb port of the laptop for the cloning process that is part of the migration of the data.

    The software provided by manufacturers such as Samsung and Corsair SSD are usually able to transfer all of the operating system and on a smaller hard disk partitions.

  • I have usef to operate only on PC, but now I have this 2009 macbook Pro.  He had a record of 7200 RPM... but he died... I want to put a hybrid SSHD on it... will it run slower?

    I used to work only on PC, but now I have this 2009 macbook Pro.  He had a record of 7200 RPM... but he died... I want to put a hybrid SSHD on it... will it run slower?

    Several years ago I tested both a hybrid version Seagate 1 and later version 2 with my 13 "2009 MBP and the computer started more quickly with one of these drives with 7200 RPM drive. But that and save files were the only time where I saw an improvement of high speed. So no, not slower, but not really all that much faster. I ended up installing an SSD in the computer. Now that was an improvement.

  • G71 340US hard drive replacement/upgrade questions

    I have a hard drive that is dying a slow death.  Only, I ordered a new hard drive for this laptop update a few minutes previously, literally and noticed a difference on the product page of the etailer between the title of the HDD that I ordered and the specifications for it.  The title indicated that the replacement of the hard drive is a SATA 3.0, but the specs seem to indicate that the hard drive is a SATA 6.0.  After doing my research, I know that the G71 340US laptop comes with a SATA 3.0, so I know not, at the very least, it supports SATA 3.0.

    So here are my questions: the G71 340US laptop does support SATA 6.0?  If it isn't, the drivef that I just bought will be retro-compatible with this laptop?

    There is no such a thing, to date anyway, which is called SATA6.

    I guess you mean SATA600 instead.

    SATA600 is the same specification as SATA3. A hard drive of SATA600 is interchangeable with a disc spec SATA3.

  • G71 340US system recovery fails

    One of my friends brought a G71-340US to me which was purchased at a pawn shop.  There was no password for a reload information was in order.  Software recovery was purchased which was a two disc picture refill set and a third CD containing the drivers and utilities.  Recharging began and I chose the path of destructive factory picture.  Recharge seemed to continue as expected using the first CD of the game.  When you are prompted to insert the second CD, the laptop has never recognized the insertion of the second CD.  The button 'Next' of radio would never go bold or respond to mouse clicks.  I just turned off and restarted.  The HARD disk starts but came in what appeared to be a bunch of batch and then reboot again.  This loop has days.  I started above zero. I tried to insert the incorrect CD, utilities and drivers one, when #2 CD was requested.  The process has been able to tell me that I inserted the wrong disk.  I then put in the right disc and it is same thing.

    I'm sure that the HARD drive is OK.  I could get on my XP box and do tests, everything looked good.  I saw two partitions and erased.  So not destructive and destructive tests passed with flying colors.  Put the HARD drive backin the laptop and tried to load a copy retail of Windows 8 and all went well except that I don't want to give this license.  Tried the result once again even refill HP media.  All I can assume is that number 2 CD is bad.  What do you think?

    It sounds as if the second cd/dvd is defective. I would like to ask for a replacement.
