Hi, did anyone know if I can replace the hard drive on my hp dv7, 4069wm with a SSD?

my computer won't start, it won't cross the windows logo.  then I ran the test drive and hard drive 1 has failed the TDD.  It came with

Failure ID: 94L 391 - 54M89M - XD003G - 60WW03

Product ID: WQ865UA #ABA

Windows 7 is installed

He passes the Test of memory and the Tet Smart but failed the short DST.  I would like to replace it with an SSD, but don't know if it will work? I also want to upgrade the RAM.

a third of the screen is dead, so this too must be replaced.  I so want to update as much on it as possible but do not know if it will be useful in the long term.  can anyone help?

8GB is the max RAM for your laptop. Just do a search on Google with HP dv7-4069wm and memory upgrade as keywords.

Guaranteed only purchase compatible mempry modules suppliers.  Replace the 2 GB installed with two 4 GB memory modules.

I have never had problem with discs SSD OCZTechnology. I give them my preference between the two products you requested.  OCZ has the best support in the industry of memory.  My experience with the OCZTechnology to give them a big thumbs up for the quality of the products and support.

  • not replacing the hard drive on a computer hp laptop with a ssd invalid warranty or care pkg?

    I do not see why it would invalidate the it. Just keep the original hard drive to the warranty period and after that do what you want. You can (I guess) increase the RAM or HARD drive under warranty (using products listed under reference numbers in service manuals) so why not swap a hard drive for an ssd? However, the guarantee only covers failures related to the EHR. It won't have a negative impact on the laptop, but I wouldn't call HP customer care first.

    You can at any retail Branded 2.5 "SATA HDD 9.5 mm thickness, 1 TB will be OK - no problem with that.

    Looking at the Manual - Page 59-61, the replacement procedure is not just easy to him if you're not used to it, needs great disassembly & may void the warranty if you do it yourself if under warranty. You can Contact HP for this.

    This would be nice.

    HP would replace the HARD drive for free, if that came with the laptop failed in respect of the warranty period.

This is a feature of most annoying that one should be able to disable if not needed. I use windows xp family and have the latest desktop version of FF, but I don't think that they are the problem.

  • How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

    My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

    Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

    Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

  • Qosmio X 500 - 10W - can I replace the HARD drive with another?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio X 500 - 10W with two drive HARD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500 GB 5400 RPM 8 MB? SATA II but is one of the hs so I'm wondering if I can be replaced by a more powerful style, drive HARD 750 GB 7200 RPM / min 16 MB Toshiba courses?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Your question is a bit hard to understand, but I think you want to replace the HARD drive with another (faster) model, right?

    Well, that s no problem. 7200 RPM hard drives works, they are a little stronger, but they're faster so if you need more performance without problem.
    750 GB or more are also no problem because the SATA interface is not the limited capacity. Theoretically 1 TB or more should also work.

    Anyway, you can buy the 750Go you mentioned that it will work. :)

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    http://eSupport.Sony.com/

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • I replaced the hard drive and can't find my distro dvd disc. Help, please!

    Original title: Lost my win7 pro distrib

    Hello!

    I have a Lenovo T440s, I replace the hard drive and can't find my distro dvd disc. On the back side are those:

    WINDOWS 7 PRO OA FOR LENOVO
    * key series *.
    * numbers of many * X 1881991

    Where can I find the version of windows exactly for my laptop?

    Hello

    The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

    But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

    If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc.), contact Lenovo at the order of recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    See you soon.

  • How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

    How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

    Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

    There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

    If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

  • Replaced the HARD drive, but can not reinstall the operating system

    Evening,

    I replaced the HARD drive on my laptop and used the sony recovery media kit, but the error message "can not configure windows to run on this hardware of computers.

    The HARD drive is a Toshiba of the same style and size. Sony sent me two sets of disks, I replaced the HARD drive twice still have exactly the same problem.

    Any ideas before using it as a target would be useful.

    Thank you

    C

    It is possible that the new hard drive, you bought are 4 k sectors and not 512 KB, which is necessary to make it work properly.  If you have a practical clean Windows installation disc that give a try and see if you encounter the same error...

  • Re: Satellite P200-178 - how to replace the HARD drive?

    Is it really possible to replace the HARD drive on this model? I have another satellite & which was 2 screws & pulling on one leg, job done.

    The P200 has an opening apparently get actually on the HARD drive but it gets you on the underside of the car, so I think that you will have to pass the upper part by means of the keyboard.

    Can anyone help? I lost 70 pounds on a HARD disk that cannot be mounted?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    As far as I know on all models, it of possible to swap the HARD drive.

    According to the user manual on the underside of the laptop it is a case of HDD for HDD1 and HDD2. This coverage is provided by one or two screws, I think that should be deleted. After that, you are able to exchange the HARD drive.

    Take a look on the underside. HARD drive swap is not complicated and can be done in a few minutes. :)
