Hard disk installation

I am adding a hard drive to a desktop computer (Pavilion a6857c) and need to know the size maximum (GB) and SATA (Type 3?).

I use Windows 7.

Hello:

I don't know the maximum size of HARD drive, you can install, probably at least 1 TB (1000 GB).

You can get a SATA III disc, but based on the chipset that your PC, it will run the high-speed SATA II.

I you a SATA II drive if it was much cheaper than the newer SATA III disc, which I doubt it will be.

  • Broken BONES and HARD disk installation

    my laptop fell and the hard disk has been overwritten. I change with the new hard drive. I want to install the OS even if I need windows product key to install on the same laptop but the new hard drive. Where can I get that or is it possible...

    You now have two options:

    1 / to install original created recovery image recovery (USB or DVD) media. If you have created a? If you do not you can order. For the installation of recovery you need not key product

    2 / Installing the OS using the Microsoft installation disc. This has nothing to do with Toshiba and produces the key that you got for the recovery image (original version OS that you got with your laptop). In this case, you must buy it and pay the license for this version of the OS

  • HARD disk installation problem

    I have a PC that I use as a server, it has a 500 MB HARD disk for windows system, programs and data HDD 3TO.

    After a power cut/spike it was start on a blue screen of death.

    I checked the two hard disc in a disc case and found a fine of data and the system cannot be read and it showed as not formatted. I reformatted the drive and everything was going well.

    When I try to reinstall windows using the USB u (not the DVD drive on PC) it fails to recognize the drive system as an option to install windows on. It appears in the line of the BIOS and cmd ok (via repair system), but it won't let me install windows on it to him.

    I checked the cables and I can see all seems fine.

    I switch the cables connecting the system and data drives but windows still only sees the data reader, regardless of the connections.

    SATA is located in DCIS.

    I tried to install, windows 7, 8 and even XP! All are unable to see the player.

    Someone at - it suggestions why this could be?

    Hello

    You can get the first 3 TB drive... even if that does not cause a problem, now it can have negative consequences in the future.

    Try to download an ISO of the wizard Partition 8.1.1 and reformat again...

    It runs from a bootable CD, so you can work around any problems of Windows...

    BTW... If you use UEFI Bios, it must be formatted as a type GPT disk...

    If you do not use UEFI type MBR format would be better...

    If you have the recovery disks, they should include your operating system (Vista) and all the drivers and programs provided with your computer. He must restore it to the way it was when you bought it originally.

    You need to update right after installation (of course).

    Good luck!

    Taken helmet dell inspiron N7110 does not work after that I installed a new hard drive on laptop of husbands. The speakers of the laptop work. When I plug in headphones or external speakers, the sound continues to fate of the speakers of the laptop.

    I went to the Device Manager and there is no yellow triangles.

    Audio device on the laptop troubled Manager are:
    1 device HD Audio
    2 device HD Audio
    Microsoft

    Device Manager on MY sound inspiron:
    1 Bluetooth
    2 Intel display Audio
    3. Realtek HD Audio

    I tried the Dell drivers to update, but it still does not work.
    I have a driver disc and the utilities provided with the laptop.
    Don't know if I can find the solution on disk

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello. The list in Device Manager 2 computers if they are different, it is because your supplier (manufacturer) has drivers installed, but doesn't your husband - he uses native Windows (by default) drivers. To install drivers sellers use the disc that came with the laptop, or go to the Inspiron 17R 7110 html page to see links to all the drivers for Dell provided for this model. I mean all for different versions of Windows which takes in charge of Dell on this model, and the various versions of pilot, later and older.

    Because you were watching from a blank hard disk, you must install these drivers in this order.

    1 Dell System Software - find on the page html under the category: System utilities. It is available only if the laptop is running Win 7 32-bit or 64-bit.

    2 Intel HM67 Chipset drivers, under the category: Chipset. Available for Vista, 7, or 8.

    3 of card reader Realtek driver, under the category: Chipset. Available for Vista, 7, or 8.

    4. audio Realtek driver, under the category: Audio. After his laptop computer installation of your husband will show Realtek High Definition Audio Device in Device Manager.

    5 Intel 3000 or Graphics 2000/3000 under the category: video. After his laptop computer installation of your husband will show Intel display Audio in Device Manager. Intel display Audio's HDMI audio driver when you connect to a TV with an hdmi cable.

    6. some laptops have a second graphic device that takes over from the Intel graphics card during graphics intensive games like situations. If computer laptop your husband has this feature, then get the driver nVidia too.

    Most of the other devices will agree with it Windows native drivers for now, and you can install them later in an order any if you need.

    retiredluckycat
    When I plug in headphones or external speakers, the sound continues to fate of the speakers of the laptop.

    I don't know if installing drivers will fix this or not. The headset should work fine now with just the native Windows driver. Install the drivers and see what happens. If you need more information, mention the operating system and possibly the model of your laptop and its operating system.

  • Installation of Windows 7 spans two completely separte not partitioned hard disk. How moving to a disk?

    I have two separate completely from the hard drive. It is 288 GB and the other news is 1 TB.  When I installed Windows 7 Ultimate, for some reason any, it has partially installed on both drives at the same time.  I tried to reformat the hard drive of 288 GB, but can only a part of the Windows installation on this disk! How can question, I put it completely on a hard drive in Windows 7?  I know what is happening, because when I unplug a hdd, leaving a connected, it does not start upward because he needs a startup disc.  Other, similarly, said that the part of the windows installation is not available because there was a change of hard disk.  So, how I move everything that is on one of the disks to consolidate in the first hard drive?

    I unplug the 1 TB hard drive, then try to install the disk of 288 GB. Then you can attach the 1 TB of disk after installation.

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • installation and replacement of hard disk in the computer hp mini 110

    I need help replacing a hard drive on my computer hp mini 110.

    HP Mini 110

    Windows XP sp3

    I just posted a question about the installation of the operating system.  Fixed that issue but found another.  I installed the operating system and everything was fine.  I started to install the drivers and applications, and after you have installed hp applications the pc has restarted and came up with a message saying:

    PRI Master Hard Disk: S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD, Backup and replace, press F1 to resume.

    PRI Master: WDC WD1600BEVT-60ZCT1 13.01A13 ULTRA DMA MODE 5 S.M.A.R.T. Capable and BAD Status

    I press F1 and it started.  I was still a few drivers requiring an installation.  Since I've installed just everything, there was not much to save.

    I installed a different driver and rebooted and this time I hit F1 it didn't start.  I got a black page with a line of blinking cursor and nothing else happens.

    After some research, I've seen it's a bad hard drive.

    My question is:

    Is this something that can be replaced at home.  I can read the instructions.  What I need to get the same hard drive, or are there others that will work?  If I can do it at home, where can I find instructions to replace it and what is the best place to get the hard drive.  Is this what I need to know.

    Thanks for anyone's help.  I'm sure I look like an idiot, but it's something I've not done in a laptop.  I replaced and internal hard drive in a desktop computer.  I remember myself set to land and out and plug in another.  I had the chance then because the computer had 2 hard drives.

    I guess I'll need to reformat the drive and start over again with the installation of the operating system etc.

    Would I be able to upgrade and install vista or windows 7?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi, Tamara:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop, which also lets you complete the You-Tube video.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01895806.PDF

    You can buy a 2.5 "laptop hard drive size 160 GB SATA II, should not exceed 500 GB.

    You can get a 5 400 rpm model or a model of 7 200 RPM.

    The difference between the two is that you will get better performance (faster seek times) a disc of 7 200 RPM.

    However, it will be at the expense of the life of the battery between charges.

    So, what you choose, it's up to you.

    Here is a link to a site that sells hard drives of laptop.

    They have great prices and there are a lot of feedback from customers that may be useful for you to decide which one to go with.

    According to specifications, your computer can run Windows 7 well.

    I recommend edit you your message and remove any reference to the discussion of smuggling copies of Windows 7. These assignments are not in accordance with the rules of the forum.

    In addition, please keep in mind that a lot of these free copies of Windows can be loaded with traps that can steal your personal data and do other nasty things, including perhaps turn your PC into a Bot who committed illegal activities.  It is not worth it for me to install such illegally of is software and possibly have the bust of the FBI to the bottom of my door and arrest me for something that I didn't know that was going on with my PC.

    It seems that the recovery XP disks are available for your PC, even if the link is broken, so if you want to reinstall XP, contact HP by telephone and you can get a set for less than $20.00.

    Otherwise, you can get a game online site for $27.00 + shipping costs.

    You get a legitimate copy of Windows OEM 7 (relatively) cheap at the link below.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16832116983

    Or you can pay double that and get the commercial version, which you can transfer to another PC. With the OEM edition, you can only use it once.

    I need help on what would be the best approach to move my existing ESXi 5.5 install the HARD disk to the new USB.

    Then you tell your environment uses the local disk to your VM data store (s)? In addition, you want to move your partition ESXi to USB and recover the local disk space? I think if it was me, the the more safe thing to do would be to shut down the system, pull on the local drive on just enough to disable / he dethrone, insert the USB key and run ESXi installation. Then (after checking the boot order) reinstall the local disk and boot the system. Once the USB key version boots, make your configurations (DNS, NTP, license etc.) and add the data store (s) existing local drive. You can then add existing virtual machines via "navigation" of the data store (s).

  • Replacement of the HARD disk on Equium A100-337 - installation of operating system recovery disc?

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 337 Vista Premium. Unfortunately, the HARD drive died in it and it is out of warranty.

    I have the recovery CD and it have used before so know this works.

    I intend to put in a HARD drive replacement, but looking around, I can get a much better deal on something like maxtor/WD/seagate.
    It would be a problem for the recovery CD?

    In addition, the original disk is 60 GB - but if possible, while I replace in any case, I like to put in a bigger. What worries me is if the recovery CD is for 60 GB image pre - and then the rest of a larger HARD drive would be just wasted space? (if indeed it would even work in the first place)

    Someone else put in a brand/different size of HDD and used the successfully recovery CD? I have to admit not knowing much about how does the recovery process, pointers on that would be appreciated also.

    See you soon.

    A different size will be fine. Not sure about the different makes it well, but as far as I know, as long as it has the same interface as the original HARD disk, and then you'll be fine.

    A Yes, the recovery works on a more than 60 GB HARD drive.

    I hope this helps.

  • P6620: Installation of the second hard disk

    How to install a second hard drive (4 t) of my HP P6620?  I opened the box and there is no extra cable for adding disks hard disks/CD.  Two slots used for cables are currently being used by the installed hard drive and a CD player.

    Hi @jdrabourn!

    Since all SATA ports are used at the present time, you can go with a SATA multiplier in order to have more drive connected to your PC. Plug you it in to a single SATA port, but limited all disks to the SATA speed (for example 4 discs on a 6 GB/s aura port 1.5 Gb/s limit each). This is different from a RAID controller because controllers allow a potential speed on each disc while the multiplier limited all disks to the single port speed.

    Regarding the cables, you will need additional in order to connect additional HARD drive.

    Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

    See you soon!
