Almost certainly an indication that a disc is a failure and should be
replaced as soon as POSSIBLE.

1. open the case and disconnect the power cables of all readers but
C:, then run the computer for awhile. If we click, it is C: this is
dying.
2. then plug the power cable into a different drive and run it
computer for a while. If you click on, it's that you reconnected
who is dying.
3, number 2 twice more if necessary to repeat.

I think the upgrade of one of my hard drives (ea 320) in my HP Pavilion laptop dv7-4069wm for more storage. I like to keep the drive that contains the operating system to avoid the hassle to make a copy, but I'm not sure which one that is. I have not replaced a hard drive before, and still less a double disc. Recently, I added more RAM and noticed that both hard drives looked the same. Can someone tell me how to know the difference?
Hello
Drive main HARD with the operating system is shown in the diagram at Page 49 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

Pavilion 17 t: how to replace a hard drive in the laptop M7H89AV model
I recently bought a HP Pavilion 17 model t M7H89AV with i7 processor. Oem hard drive is very slow and I want to upgrade to an SSD samsumg evo 850 500 GB. I'm looking at the bottom of the case and I don't see a special slot or the area to remove to replace the drive. It seems to me that the bottom of the laptop come off in one piece. serial number [personal information deleted]. This hard drive is not replaceable?
There are no manuals for your model. Here is a youtube video showing access hard drive on a very similar model. It's in German but it moves slowly enough so that you can follow:
https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=uDAKRL86IjU
You can see the hard drive at about 07:45 in.
Take you top down, not the bottom. Technically, the hard drive is not extensible part of the user and security is at risk if you open it. But HP said it's OK to upgrade to an SSD as long as you don't damage in the process. If you do, you're on your own.

How to initialize a hard drive for the first time?
I just got a new hardisk. What should I do before using it? Can someone give me instructions step by step?
IM using Windows XpIn this case, shut down the PC, unplug the power cord, take anti-static precautions and install the disk drive. Turn on the PC and use disk management to partition/format-it as wish you...
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/309000
... NTFS file system is the best.
To store your data, I recommend to move the My Documents folder...
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310147
... but you don't have to do if you want to keep some data on C: and the rest on a partition on the new disk.
You could also start to install some programs (games or other) on the disk by making custom installations and change the drive letter.

How to clean the hard drive of the computer
I need to know how to erase my hard drive to get rid of a virus
Hello Nguyen,
Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.
I understand you want to wipe your hard drive to remove any infection by the virus from your computer.
I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.
- When you say 'I need to wipe my hard drive to get rid of the virus', do you mean you want to remove the virus from your computer or to completely erase your hard drive by erasing all the data on it?
- You want to clean install a new copy of Windows on your computer after removing all your data from the hard drive?
If you do not want to delete all your data and do not want to clean your computer of viruses, you can scan your computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner.
Download and run Microsoft security scanner from the link below.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
However, if you want to completely clean your computer, just remove the hard drive and pure, install a fresh copy of Windows on your hard drive, you can read the article below to do so.

I'm upgrading to a new computer. With this approach, I took the hard drive 1 TB "internal" hard with my LR catalog and pictures from my old computer and hooked up as a hard drive on the new computer. My next step is to load CC Lightroom on the internal drive of the new computer and remove the software from the old hard drive, which is now just a disk storage external photo.
Then, the tricky part where I need help. How LR to recognize the existing catalog on what is now the external hard drive?
Thank you
As DJ says, double-click the catalog on the external hard drive.
Or, in the menu of LR, / file/open/and navigate on the external drive.
Whatever it is, after the opening of the catalog, you will need to go to the library, Panel folders module and 'find missing' on each top-level to tell LR you folders, move the folders on the external drive.

How to recharge my hard drive with photos that are stored in iCloud? After installing a new hard drive, there's no pictures found in the Photos, and I get this error, "could not find the picture of system library named"Library.photoslibrary Photos".
Soon as your App Photos or iPhoto lost track of your photo library, or there has not been migrated from your old drive. You can create an empty library and probably enable iCloud photo library for photos to upload to the cloud.

How to install the second hard drive in the Satellite A200-1 of body weight?
I see my new Satellite A200-1 of body weight has two hard drive bays, the research in the second span, I don't see how a second drive can be mounted as the plug into the Jack seems to be missing.
What parts do I have to mount to place a second drive that they are held in stock by out of the local computer and are quite cheap, can someone advise me on part numbers etc of the bits I need.
Thank you
SteveHello
I know that this empty place for second HARD drive is a bit confusing, but the same situation is with my A200-1CR. The fact is that some A200 models come with 2 hard drives and laptop case design this place must be prepared for this second HDD.
But this does not mean that each A200 can be improved for the second HARD drive.
