hard drive HP pavilion dv4-2145dx

My cpu is just out on this laptop and the tech said it would cost too much difficulty and that it would be better to just get a new laptop. I ordered a new laptop and my question is can I take my hard drive off the broken one and transfer the information I have on my new computer? I was told there were maps and boxes of hard drive I could buy for it but do not know what to look for and those who would collaborate with the specs on this laptop. Also is it an easy process or require a lot of computer knowledge? I would greatly appreciate any advice or help I could get. I have so many things on the broken computer that I don't want to lose. Thank you

    Hello

    You need two cables, one is a sata cable:

    http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/30305659/706331346/STARTech-com-6in-SATA-to-right-angle-SATA-serial-ATA-cable-female-SATA-female-SATA-6-inch-red/ListingDetails.html?_%24JA=TSID:13315% 7Ccat: 30305659% 7Cprd: 30305659 & kw = {keyword}

    This cable is only for data and connect the hard drive to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

    The other cable is energy:

    http://www.itpartsdirect.com/STARTech-15-24cm-4-pin-Molex-to-SATA-power-cable-adaptor.html

    It connects the hard drive to the PSU.

    You can also buy a combo like this cable:

    http://www.Amazon.co.UK/DP/B00064GBT4/?tag=hydra0b-21&hvadid=9550951989&ref=asc_df_B00064GBT4

    All you have to do is to connect the hard drive and that's it. Make sure that the main drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are the numbers 1, 2, 3...)

  • Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?

    Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?  The bios is version v3.26, and the operating system is XP with SP3.  40 gig HD is full and you are looking to replace it but do not know what the size limit is with this bios version.

    Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion a705w desktop. This is based on the assumption that you converted the 5 and 0 and the fact that you mentioned a 40 GB hard drive.

    You already have the most current version of the BIOS of your computer and running the most recent service pack of Windows XP. Your computer and the operating system should support a drive of 500 GB without problem. The only problem is that your computer isn't any SATA ports, only 66/100 IDE (PATA). Look at local retailers and online for the IDE drives.

  • HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15: I changed my hard drive (HP Pavilion), how can I get all features associated HP I used to have?

    My hard drive is broken on my HP Pavilion sleekbook 15.

    (Pavilion product number: D3D66EA-#UUW)

    I had to change it and, of course, to reinstall my windows 8.1 (I have the installation DVD)

    Everything works fine with windows, my problem is that the I ve lost all my HP related software and features.

    At the start, he says just something on the motherboard and then he hits me with a logo instead of the HP logo and stuff Windos... Everything seems to work twice as slow as it was before I had to change the HD? Both the HD: s had the same spesifications.

    Is there anyway I could get the default HP-software and features on my new hard drive?

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    You said that you have restored your PC using a DVD, but HP recover media consists of a SET of DVD, not a single DVD - so I have to assume that it was NOT a support of HP recovery.

    Ordinarily, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state. That would erase the entire disk, format the drive and install the operating system, drivers and utilities HP.

    Unfortunately, there is no support of HP recovery related to HP for your PC Product Page. This could be an oversight by HP, or it could also mean that HP stock is no longer the recovery media for your PC. They store any long recovery media for older PCs.

    You can try to contact the HP customer directly, using the links below, to see if you can order them if:

    If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

    If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

    NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!

    If HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    Good luck

  • removal of the hard drive HP Pavilion s3360

    My HP Pavilion s3360 crashed 2 days ago, but because I had to buy a new pc anyway, I don't really mind. But I want to try to delete data on my drive hard (if he has not 'dead'...), so I tried to remove it, but the dvd drive is in the way (even I see not the HARD drive). I tried to remove the dvd drive, but that seemed to be stuck... I don't know much about computers, so I'd like some advice on how to remove the dvd drive (and after the HARD disk) on this particular type of pc.

  • Request help second addition, internal hard drive [HP Pavilion Elite e9290f]

    Hello

    Quick question here. I am a music producer and you can always use a ton of extra space as some of my projects are 17 to 20 GB in size. My HP e9290f comes with a stock of 1 TB Seagate (I think) internal hard drive. I intend to add this DeckStar HGST hard 4 TB (7200 RPM)

    However, I am not sure, if this drive is compatible with my computer. I talked about the upgrade & maintenance manual but inside, he tells me only how to replace the current internal hard drive. The addition of this amount of space external hard drive is not an option since all my ports are used by external hard drive! Can anyone shed light on what tools I need exactly to connect this HD extra 4TB? I would appreciate your answers, because time is of the essence

    Hello

    I have not tested a HDD 4 TB on the motherboard of truckee. In theory, it should work as a data reader set shaped like a GPT disk.

    Another option if you don't want to take the risk is to install two hard drives of 2 TB. The one in the location empty in the cage from the hard drive and another in the optical drive Bay (if open) second.  You will need one 3.5 "to 5.25" adapter if you use the optical Bay.

    Check on the return policy for the 4 TB harddrive and see if your can return/exchange it if it doesn't work.  Kit retail for Hitachi 4TB has an optional driver if the motherboard of your PC will not format the drive completely outside up to 4 TB.

  • Replacing hard drive HP Pavilion g4-1015dx

    Thank you!

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See page 51 for hard drive access. Note the connector that connects the bare hard drive to the motherboard. You will need to reuse the parts caddy/connector/mylar shield from the old drive.

    Your laptop SATA ports are SATA II. In most cases, if it doesn't have USB 3.0, it also doesn't have SATA III. Your don't have any USB 3.0. However, SATA-III hard disks 2.5 inches wide and 7 or 9.5 mm thick will work fine. SATA III interface is backward compatible with SATA-II.  I guess that you have chosen the WD Blue 5400 RPM drive due to their low cost, but it would be well worth an extra 10 or $15 to have a disk of 7200 RPM like the WD Black or this one:

  • Can I use recovery discs on a new hard drive on a dv4?

  • Upgrading the hard drive Hp Pavilion g6

    Hello

    I'm looking to upgrade my hard drive in my HP Pavilion g6-1d80nr. I do not move much.  Should I get an external hard drive, a new internal hardrive or a SSD?

    Thank you!

    Joey

    Hello

    No, we do not use external HARD disk to replace the internal HARD drive. This means that you can quickly use the internal HARD drive or spend more money to get the fastest SSD (since it has no moving parts). It's to you actually. Since SDS is now very cheap good and that your machine will work more quickly (relatively) interms of performance / $, my suggestion: opt for one SSD.

    Kind regards.
