Hard drive no good - find replacement

HP Pavilion P6510f

Windows 7 64 bit

My computer recently stopped commissioning. I was originally getting a message "BOOTMGR is missing", crossed several customer service representatives, and it was decided that I needed a new hard drive and recovery disks. Initially, I had a hard time with the parts department and failed to find the replacement hard drive (part No. 303487-074). In the meantime I received my drives recovery and just for fun, wiped the hard drive and reinstalled everything that is on the disks. The hard drive has been able to launch several times, but finally just would freeze, so I know that it still does not. I guess my question is what I have to keep looking for that exact part number, or are there equivalents that will work, or even an upgrade that would be better?

Hopefully just an answer here because the support call is always an unpleasant adventure for me.

Thank you!

All you need is a SATA2 HDD that is at least 750 GB of capacity to replace the original hard drive.

It's really as simple as that. Just go to your local computer store. It will fit in the same place as the original disk was. You can use the same support and screw the old hard disk.

The brand of the drive you buy is not so important. HP usually use SeaGate hard drives, but my preference is Western Digital, Samsung and Fujitsu.

I was able to recover some of the old drive and the technician put my apps on the new drive but they are not operable (error 1) and require reinstallation.

    I can't see all folders in library mode because my hard drive had to be replaced. How to restore files and photos, so I can link to the catalog?

    The original drive I had was called E:... THAT IS, FILE NAMES ARE!

    If you would like to recommend that I go to each of these lines and redirect each of these folders, right?

    Yes, reconnect the top-level folder on drive E:, as shown in Figure 4 here: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  • Satellite L300D - 18 d - which hard drive I need to replace?

    Hi guys, my first post here.

    My girlfriend has a Toshiba Satellite L300D - 18 d and the hard side is now more and more corrupted so I want to buy a replacement drive, but I'm not sure what I need, the size is not as important as its only really used for word and the internet, but if you could point me in the right place I would be very grateful :)

    The number of the hard drive from the Device Manager is: wdc wd1200bevs-26usto, but that really doesn't mean anything to me.

    Thank you guys.

    Michael

    Hello

    > The number of the hard drive from the Device Manager is: wdc wd1200bevs-26usto, but that really doesn't mean anything to me.
    This model number means that is a Western Digital 120 GB HARD drive is installed. :)

    Satellite L300D supports SATA drives. This means that each size of HARD drive works and there is no limit of ability more.

    It is only important that you buy a SATA 2.5 HARD. Brand and the size is not important, because all the models/size will not work. Just buy a HARD drive where you can get a good offer. I guess 320 or 500 GB models have the best ratio cost-benefit for the moment. 50 euros should normally be sufficient for such a HARD drive.

  • I recently had the hard drive on my iMac replaced

    Now, when I try to access Lightroom 6.0, I find that I am in the 30 day trial period.  When I enter my product code, it does not.  I checked the code online on Adobe.com in my personal information.  Everything was going fine until I had the hard drive replaced.  Is it that's going to stop?

    I'll let Hosts.old as it is for now - unless I should remove or restore.

  • Crashed hard drive and must be replaced

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ60-204NR, which is not quite 2 years old. The hard drive broke down. I would first like to know if you can tell me if this laptop is 32-bit or 64-bit, and which drive hard ability then I replace the damaged with? I don't know what is needed to replace the hard drive. This laptop came with Windows Vista Home Basic Service Pack 1. Thank you. Linda

    Normally, I would ask you if you are running 32 or 64 bit, but according to your specifications you are running 2 GB of RAM, which would indicate that it is 32-bit. It takes at least 3 GB of RAM to run 64-bit.

    You can use almost all SATA 2.5-inch drive in it. The largest capacity as 1 terabyte or more are too thick and doesn't work.

    I'd go for at least 500 GB drive at 7200 RPM / min. Seagate is a nice hybrid drive that is fast enough and is still affordable.

    Install the new drive and use your HP recovery DVD to reinstall your operating system.

  • Hard drive needs to be replaced

    Dell Diagnostics says I need to replace the hard drive.  I have two that is faulty?  The error message is o-s/n-wd-wcatr7339737

    Dell diagnostics (F12 at startup) will tell you which drive has failed.

    If both disks are part of a RAID 0 array, you can consider replacing both of them - they are both the same age and likely came from the same production batch, which means that it is very possible that the other player may not long to live, either.

    Hello

    Thank you for your response. I've finally managed to connect with a support staff through the online chat portal & advises him to download CS3 web premium. Tried to find it, but this option is not available in scrolling to the bottom of the box. Ultimately, the staff had to help me to unlock the CS5.5 update manually from its end. He indicated that, in my case, the situation could not be resolved through this method, and I'd still have to contact support via the portal chat staff to help unlock my CS5.5 If this problem occur again should I need to reinstall it on a new computer laptop.
