Helps to remove the HP Pavilion Desktop Hard Drive

So recently I bought your desktop HP Pavilion from Best Buy a few months ago. Thing was running great until this morning, when the hard drive has suddenly decided to go belly and FRY on me. I called HP Support and they are sending me a free HD to replace the bad, but I need to remove and return them. No problem, I think I'll open the chassis out. Little I didn't know...

I really don't know who designed this thing inside, but to reach the screws to remove the hard drive is almost impossible for someone like me who has no specialized tools. I got two of the screws, but the front rear one I can barely see and even less to reach, and I don't know there's a fourth that I can't even imagine reaching. I hope someone can give me something special or a detail that I'm missing that will make this possible, if not, I am at a loss how to proceed.

Here is the info on the machine:

HP Pavilion Media Center

Product: KT334AA-ABA

Model: m8530f

If it is necessary, I'll post a picture of her womb. If anyone has any info that can help me to disassemble this beast, I would be eternally grateful!

You must insert the personal media at the front of the computer player. Remove the front panel, remove the screws which fix the cage of the front's personal media players and pull the Green tab by dragging the cage in the front. You will then be able to easily remove the drive.

Do not hesitate to call HP, they will be happy to help you with the installation of the replacement drive.

  • Help to remove the partition on a hard drive and data recovery

    I have two hard drives in my PC, the C: drive is 80 GB, and the F: drive is 120 GB.  The second drive (120 GB) is divided into two partitions.  I just deleted the partitions and makes the hard drive again in a single disc, however I had some important files on the F: drive that I thought I had copied to the C: drive but they are not there.  Is there anyway that is using the software I can return the drive to two drives and recover my data, please help

    Hello

    First of all, do not use the hard drive. This can make things sunk. A few things may already be unrecoverable. I would even delete the drive letter to stop inadvertently automated processes to use.

    There are two ways I can think of.

    1. buy a partitioning software disk that supports the undelete partition. On windows XP PartitionMagic was a very good product if symantec will still sell it. Given that Symantec has continued to develop, I had to switch to product partition Paragon. Sound was trash to some things, cloning in particular a double boot with loads of partitions - it has an undelete function which I didn't use. The fact that you have created a new partition could mean that the restoration may not work. You may need to delete the current, probably empty, partition everything first and then perform the restoration.

    2. buy a data recovery software that will scan the hard drives, including the unpartitioned space. I chose R-Studio and it was very good stuff even recovery from hard drives that fail. It was not 100% effective, but it is perhaps down to the severity of failure rather than the product. In situations like yours, it was very effective.

  • Help to remove the HP Pavilion ze5375US CD-ROM drive

    I want to replace the CD-ROM drive in a Pavilion ze5375us notebook pc, but I do not know how to take the CD drive on the computer. I tried to unscrew each screw in the laptop, but it would still come out from its slot. Is there a way that it should be deleted? Is it not dismantle all the computer itself? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Help to remove the background... hard question.

    Hello adobe gurus...

    My 1st post... and it's difficult (for me anyway).

    I know not how to remove a backround... but I can't figure out how to lose all the Greens in the present, to make transparent and just keep the Chimp. It's the gradations of the backround and his hair which is the problem.

    Any help with this is VERY well appreciated. The glove is thrown.

    Thank you, all!

    You can download the freeware PSE module GML. This tool extracts an element of an image and place on a transparent background.  This works particularly well in the extraction of the fine as of the hair areas, as you can see in this example. I added a white layer at the bottom you can see the result better.

    I tried GML Matting on your photo and added the layer of white backgrond.

    See forum topic http://forums.adobe.com/message/2104909 for more details. The user is Terri_F also offered another method that might work for you.

  • What is the maximum size of hard drive, which can be installed in a pavilion d4790y desktop computer?

    What is the maximum size of hard drive, which can be installed in a desktop pavilion d4790y?

    It would be a secondary drive, not the boot drive.

    The operating system is Vista Home Premium, 32-bit.  The version of the BIOS is 5.08.

    Are there any changes or upgrades that would allow an internal hard drive 3 TB to install?

    Here are the specifications and configurable options for your desktop HP Pavilion d4790y and here are the specifications of its card mother P5BW - THE (Basswood2). Based on the specifications and the age of the computer, I would expect you to use a hard drive 3 TB as a secondary drive on Windows Vista (DISPLACEMENT SP1 or SP2) and Windows 7. Formatted as MBR would require the drive to use with a minimum of two partitions. Formatted as GPT would require only a single partition. In no case will you be able to use the 3 TB as a boot device drive because your computer does not support a UEFI BIOS that allows booting from a GPT formatted disk. No changes or updated should be held.

    No, at least not by us.

    Open a hard drive for some reason any at all can be done in special
    laboratory as parameters. Something else will destroy the disk.

    There are companies trying to recover data from broken disks,
    and they are sometimes successful. And who knows, maybe they
    sometimes use methods such as what you describe.

    But if you plan to use such a company, know what they
    are all very expensive. It does not for most people.

    For the future, if you have files you want to be sure are not
    lost, make sure to have in place a backup procedure on a regular basis the

  • The upgrade on Pavilion 9667ea hard drive to SSD

    I think the upgrade my computer laptop 9667ea Pavilion by replacing the first hard drive of 160 GB with an SSD, as the Cruicial M500 240 GB SATA 111, or similar.

    Could you tell me if there are problems in doing this, because I see no other posted messages it may be according to the model of your laptop?

    I advanced and bought the SSD (Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB), which has been installed on the HP Pavilion dv9667ea. Everything went well and I used the Samsung software cloning with the SSD drive (I backed up the C drive beforehand). I have power and data cables, so I need just the package base. The new 250 GB SSD drive replaces the original 160 GB hard drive, I decided to take out the other drive so hard 160 GB. The laptop is much faster at startup and is also faster by using the programs on the laptop. As there are now no hard drives on the laptop, there is now virtually no fan noise, which was inconvenient.

    Thank you for your advice.
