• replacing hard drive HP pavilion dv7 needed mine failed and need a new.

  I have a pavilion dv7 4077cl Entertainment hard drive is faulty and all diagnoses say replace it.

  I can not find the same one (Toshiba MK6465gsx) what is compatible?  Help, please!  Thank you

  You can adapt any 2.5 "SATA HDD, just remove the old one from the caddy (if any) and, quite simply, a new. If you want news, then visit Amazon Toshiba 640 GB HDD because they have a list. I'm sure you could find a better and probably cheaper alternative if you google 2.5 "SATA hard drive. I adapted one of them in my HP and it's great: Seagate Momentus 750 GB I did have a problem because I did it.

• Replacing hard drive HP Pavilion g4-1015dx

  I recently acquired a HP Pavilion 1015dx g4 with a failing hard drive.
  
  I was wondering if this computer supports SATA III drives specifically the

  Western Digital laptop bare drives 500 GB WD Blue SATA III 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache Bulk/OEM hard drive WD5000LPVX
  
  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:

  Mick,

  Hello

  You have the best player for the laptop, you may have. You can use conventional disc (up to 500 to 750 GB), but none of them are as fast as the solid state drive. I guess that the laptop is a dv7-4000 series. This laptop does not support SATA III connection because a SATA III SSD is the only drive faster than what you got.

• Replacing hard drive HP Pavilion dv6500 (upgrade)

  My HD just crushed and tries to find a new (better) compatible HD back in my computer.  Any suggestions or what card I need to pick up if it's compatible?

  Hello:

  If you want good performance to a new hard drive, download a HDD SATA II 7 200 rpm of 500 GB or less.

  Give the highest RPM faster search times but this will be at the expense of the life of the battery between charges.

  It would be my first choice for a successor.

  If you don't need that big of a player and you want to save a little $$$, then you can get the 320 GB version of the above template.

• HP Pavilion 17: mouse pad does not work after replacing hard drive

  Hello

  After replacing hard drive and installing windows 8.1, I can't use my mouse pad.

  I installed the Synaptics driver but it didn't help.

  How can I check that mousepad device is not damaged when replacing the hard drive and which also can I try to fix the mouse pad?

  USB mouse works fine.

  See you soon

  The only way to be sure is to open it up and see if the touchpad cable was disconnected during the upgrade of the hard drive. That's my bet. Easy to forget when you're winding. You don't provide complete model number, but many of the recent models Pavilion 17 require removal of the cover together to get hard disk that requires disconnection of the touchpad cable.

• Satellite Pro 2100: How do I reinstall the OS after replacing HARD drive

  I have a Toshiba SP2100 and I want to replace the hard drive, but I don't have any recovery CD
  So, how can I put the o/s back on?

  Try to connect the external HARD drive to the computer via the USB port and try to copy all content from the internal HARD disk external HARD drive. Then you could try to insert the external HARD drive in the laptop.
  But I've never tried this procedure and don t know if it will work.

  But usually after replacing HARD drive you should boot from the Boot CD as recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
  After the installation of clean Windows OS, you can visit the Toshiba drivers and you can download and install the drivers of Toshiba and utilities.

  It is not so easy to change the HARD drive on this model.
  You have to remove many parts like keyboard, screen, cover and screw a lot.
  It's a little tricky, so you should have experience with this.

  As Akuma, go to a local ASP (authorized service provider) has said. They can help you replace the HARD drive.

• Satellite C870 - 1 K 1 and replacing hard drive

  Hello

  I would like to replace the hard drive of wonderful this notebook with a hard disk of 500 GB 750.
  How should I proceed with the Windows installed on the original hard drive, the migration to the new.
  I do not have a CD ROM of Windows 8, was not included when I bought the laptop

  Thanks for your help and suggestions...
  Greetings

  If you use your laptop with an original operating system preinstalled, you can create recovery media using pre-installed recovery media creator tool. After replacing HARD drive, you can use this media and reinstall the original recovery image.

  After that your laptop will again have to factory settings.

• Satellite 1410 714 extremely slow after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite 1410-714 which has had a hard drive failure. I replaced the drive, but now the computer is extremely slow. Windows has been reinstalled, it was really slow too much and now it takes minutes for windows to start.

  I suspect that something might have broken on the motherboard and the hard disk. I checked mobo replacement parts, but have not found anything for-714, so a 1410 mobo compatible? This model has a processor celeron 1.8.

  Thanks for help.

  Hello

  I can t think the motherboard is broken after replacing HARD drive.
  I suggest updating the BIOS first. Maybe your old BIOS have a few problems with the most recent HARD drive.
  Please check site driver Toshiba for the latest version of BIOS.

  Have you used any anties Virus applications?

• 20-d113w want to: replacement hard drive

  Hi, I looked around the Board for instructions on replacing hard drive. I intend to replace the original sata drive 1 TB with a seagate 1 TB sata3 drive. I know this is probably a stupid question, but just installing the new drive and run the recovery software, or something must be done again disc before I run the software. Thanks for any help you can give

  If you reinstall from the recovery discs set, it will not make a difference.  If you use a cloning software, it may depend on the package.  If you need to reinstall using a Windows disk, it should be able to themselves deploy by asking the user questions.

• 15 - r174ca: replacement hard drive

  Hey guys, I'm not good with this part pick up stuff so I hope you can help out me. I got this laptop from my cousin, so I'm not completely sure of what I am working with

  My hard drive failed on my laptop:

  http://www.BestBuy.ca/en-CA/product/Hewlett-Packard-HP-15-6-laptop-stone-silver-Intel-Core-i5-4210u-...

  I'm not entirely sure which hard drive to replace it with so any info would be helpful. The only thing I'm certain of is the 5400 RPM.

  Also, if someone could recommend some items online / in-store (Canada), which are at a good price for their performance features, it would be appreciated

  Thanks in advance

  You must understand that the replacement hard drive you must remove the entire lid and jeopardizes security:

  Your repair manuals

  See pages 53-59.

  As long as you do successfully the replacement, HP will honor still guarantee, however. Just be careful in here.

  You can use any 2.5 inches wide and 9.5 or 7 mm thick hard SATA or SSD.

  the 5400 RPM drives are a significant bottleneck, so in my mind you want to get at least a 7200 RPM hard drive and you really want to get a SSD drive if the budget allows.

• 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.
