hard drive failure and replacement of the laptop pavilion dv6-1000

It seems that the hard drive has failed in the laptop.  When I run a test gives me a message 3f0 and hard drive does not exist.  Tried to start the repair system and the operating system not found.  Would fix with the image of the system.  No found boot device.  Conclusion: new hard drive required.  The laptop drive is a seagate momentus 320 GB 5400,6.    Do I have to replace it with a new seagate or can I use a Western Digital with the same 320 GB, 5400 rpm?  Thank you in advance.

Hello:

WD should be fine and if you want to use a disc 7 200 RPM faster seek time (at a small cost of battery life between charges) you can go with this too.

  • My EliteBook 2760p had a hard drive failure and now, after replacing, it works a lot slower

    Good afternoon!

    I have a serious problem with my EliteBook 2760p!
    About two months ago, my EliteBook had a disk failure hard and after more than two weeks of control and test.
    the hard drive has been replaced, and I received my EliteBook return.
    I immediately saw that the previously installed Windows 7 with Croatian language pack and MS Office starter edition
    has been replaced with an English version of Windows 7 without the starter edition of MS Office.
    I also noticed that my EliteBook was significantly slower than it was before the change of hard disk!
    This situation was unacceptable, and I took my EliteBook serving for additional repairs.
    The gentleman of the function COS ZEL in Zagreb took a week or so more to test and verify everything
    out and then he said that "they are not the error I described, and I can now pick up my EliteBook.

    My EliteBook is always in this State and is considerably slower than it used to be!
    Even more, the screen does not "flip" when I turn. In addition, the buttons at the bottom of the screen,
    do not work.

    I would like to know where I can go do my EliteBook restored to the exact state as I initially have bougth inside
    or be replaced by the new EliteBook under warranty because this state my EliteBook is online is not
    acceptable or feasible.

    Kind regards

  • Hard disk failure and recovery of the operating system

    I have a model p6310f desktop that had a hard drive failure.  I bought an SSD and install.  I looked for a recovery disk; However, I have not found one.  I was told that the recovery disc is on the hard drive in a separate partition.  Is this really the case?  If so, how can I access the recovery if the hard drive is still not recognized?

    Thank you

    Recovery media is available on your Support page. Scroll the list of the drivers/software to see the possibility of ordering.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=4107914

    Be aware that recovery discs do not always work on an SSD - if the capacity is much smaller than the original hard drive and SSD size wasn't an option initially offered on your model. You could make your own Windows 7 installation dvd in this case, as long as you have the intact lable on cases with license key. Let me know if you want to try this option.

  • The upgrade of the graphics cards and processors on the Hp Pavilion dv6-6c35dx

    I was wondering if I can improve the graphics and CPU on my Hp pavilion dv6-6c35dx, or should I buy a new computer in the future?

    Hello:

    You are unable to pass the video to your laptop without having to replace the whole motherboard with one that may have better graphics that could be included in the service manual for your laptop.

    C responsible for costs making a such update is not worth. A new motherboard for your PC would cost almost as much as a new PC.

    You can also see Chapter 1 of the list of supported processors.

    I think with AMD processors, you must also replace the motherboard to upgrade the processor.

    I replaced a HDD corrupted in the laptop of a friend and you want to reuse. How can I delete the recovery partition? When I try to use my Windows 7 computer management tool, it will not access? I did a complete player wipe (twice) what the partition is still there and I can't remove it. It's 14 GB of space I want to retrieve and use the HARD drive in another system at a later date.

    Try the command line option:

    Start cmd.exe as an administrator, then inside the window cmd, type

    DiskPart

    then, type diskpart

    list disk

    take note of the correct disc ID to clear

    type

    Select disk x

    (where x is the ID of your disk to erase)

    type

    clean

    your HARD drive will be erased completely

    or you can try the magic of partition:

  • Hard drive failure and question graphic

    Hello

    I use Vista 64 bit. When I start my PC I get an error stating "detected hard disk failure. Please back up your data immediately. ». Then when I press on enter, vista starts booting. However, as soon as this happens my screen freaks out and becomes all pixelated and torn. The colors are mostly purple, red and blue. I have no idea what is the problem. I tried to reformat my hard drive, but it does not solve the problem. Also, I sometimes get an error blue solid screen telling me to contact the manufacturer. Unfortunately, the warranty has expired and I decided to try to fix it myself (mostly because the manufacturer said I was on my own).

    I only had the laptop for a year and worked a lot, until recently. I don't think I have a virus but I tried to install the new display drivers before this happened. I thought that this could be the problem, but I rolled back drivers, and after the reformat, nothing has changed.

    Hope I gave enough info, I really don't want to dropping $ 1,500 per year for a laptop a habit... Help, please!

    Jon

    Your hard drive has failed or you have other components of the motherboard not too. You must replace dead components, do not try and reinstall anything. And it's a perfect example of why the couple of hundred dollars costs for an extended warranty on a laptop are a good thing. Here you have a laptop mostly newish which can have a dead motherboard and it will be very expensive to replace. You can buy a new portable hard drive, reinstall Windows and hope it is everything that was wrong with the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Can Pavilion dv9407nr HARD drive failure - I still get the HP recovery discs?

    After reading many posts, it is clear that my HARD drive has failed and I need to replace.  I created my own recovery disks, but apparently it will not work on a replacement hard drive.  Right now, I would like to know if I can still order a set of HP recovery disks.  If I can't, between the cost of a new player software and the o/s I'm probably better to throw everything and buy something new.

    I called 800-HPINVENT and was able to order the repair disks.

  • Pavilion G6-1b39wm: need drivers (at least Ethernet) after disk HARD total failure and replacement

    I have a Pavilion ^ notebook PC series - it's a G6-1b39wm, the product number is lw363ua #aba.

    The hard drive was a total loss. I bought and installed a new hard drive and reinstalled Windows.

    However, I have no drivers - ethernet, WiFi etc... - and they are no longer available on the HP Web site.

    I feel as if I could at least get the driver installed ethernet, Windows could help me to find and install the other drivers.

    All I have for the ethernet is that it has integrated 10/100 Ethernet LAN.

    ANY help would be appreciated deeply deeply.
