How to remove and replace the hard drive on a desktop Pavilion m9350f computer?
not boot BIOS says search for device. . Suspect problem is intermittent
ShortTimer,
I was trying to be polite and doesn't cause any anxiety. I asked if the BIOS can 'see' the hard drive and DVD player. (Forget the PMD, USB).
As your motherboard is a M2N78 - LA. There was a race of (IMHO) production of chips from NVidia controller that were defective. Only this can explain the success or Miss boards failed in these units:
This series of motherboard has been installed in many different models of HP computers. There are problems.
Here are the models reported with the guidance of M2N78LA failed. This is not the complete list.

You should look in the control panel-> programs and features
Here you will find all the programs that are installed in Windows Vista. To remove an any of them click the program you want to uninstall and then click Uninstall/change, and follow the prompts.
After Toshiba HDD protection has been uninstalled, you can try to keep up with the upgrade to Windows 7.

Hello 88feederups, apparently, your only recourse is to press F-7 to continue and see if the system boots to the desktop.
If you manage to get to the desktop, I suggest trying to backup your important data and make sure you have a version of Windows XP. You must also consider finding a new hard drive.
The failed Test Smart can be a reason for the hard drive do not completely, if not already.
Here is the link for the specifications of your system and it shows the system comes with a hard drive of 160 GB Ultra DMA.
It is a type IDE ATA hard drive and not the new kind of Sata.

Replaced the hard drive - now screen Intel Rapid Storage Tech comes first?
A couple of weeks ago, I replaced the hard drive in my laptop Pavilion dm4-3090se with a 240 GB Samsung SSD (the laptop came with a 500 GB Hybrid HDD which is now my backup).
Everything works fine, except when I first put it in, I get the screen shown in the image below and it takes a good 5 or 6 seconds before it closes and opens Windows. How can I make this screen go away?
You are running Windows 7 or Windows 8? I see that you still have the installed cache acceleration mSATA 32 gig drive and it has the Intel Rapid Storage, just off acceleration partition. Can you find the control panel Intel Rapid Storage and reformatting the drive to 32 gig Accelerator? It will look something like this:
I suggest also just remove acceleration 32 gig of hard drive. You have really no more. You can not acclerate a SSD and shouldn't do anyway since having a main SSD is still faster than having the accelerator. See page 44 of the Manual:

no boot device after replacing the hard drive
Hello world!
My laptop (MSI) has erupted recently in my face (Fried GPU seems). As I had and liked (Acer laptop) which had a broken hard drive, I have supported up to my datas and replaced the hard drive of Acer (one broken) with that of my MSI (latest laptop)
When I start the computer I get the message no bootable device: "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any."
I am not very savvy computer science, but I feel that it is perhaps due to the version of Windows I was using: my Acer running on Windows 7, when my MSI will run on window 8. Could someone confirm if this has something to do with the startup problem?
Here's what I managed to do or find on the problem.
When I go into the BIOS, I changed the order of precedence so that my hard drive is the first priority.
There is absolutely no USB or SD card in my computer from where he might try to start (unless he's trying to start from an empty?).
The BIOS is able to tell me the model and I installed the hard disk MSI series so I guess that it is able to detect the hard drive, but can not find startup data in it (that's why I think it's maybe because it isn't the same window). In addition, the hard drive lights up when I start the computer (and he did it on the MSI laptop too).
Even if the hard drive seems to be detected, I always tried to unplug and reconnect it a few times to make sure it wasn't just a matter of bad connection.
On many web sites, they recommend taking any diet and empty any current computer before restarting: unfortunately I can not do because the Acer laptop has a battery that is not easily accessible as newer computer (it cannot be removed from the outside, I need to open the laptop to get it and it is so I can know what it look like and how to remove it)
My brother managed to recover data from hard disk of MSI with a USB device that plugs on it, so I don't think it's broken.
The computer is an Acer Aspire 5830TG. Replaced hard drive is a toshiba MK6459GSXP (works on Windows 7) and the replacement is a WD7500BPVX - 22JC3T0
I want to apologize if my English contains errors, it is not my mother tongue :)
Please let me know if you need more information and I thank you for your help!
Hello
You cannot move a hard drive with Windows 8 on it from a computer and put it in another machine that were previously running Windows 7 and expect it to work.
It will not.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
And even if it would work physically, legally you cannot transfer the license of Windows 8 of the MSI laptop Acer laptop to your situation:
Read this information:
If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.
The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.
License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.
And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

Although I am an employee of HP, I speak for myself and not for HP -
I have a HP with Windows 7 Home Premium TouchSmart tm2. The HARD drive is clicking and will not start. Error: Device not found Boot. I guess I have to replace the HARD drive, but how can I restore/reinstall operating system without a recovery disk? Windows was preinstalled, and I have the product key. Thank you.
Hello:
You can order a recovery disc defined by following the instructions on the link below.
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00810334
or...
You can download the 32-bit or 64-bit version of windows 7 Home Premium ISO on the link below and use your product key to activate the installation.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/
You need a program that will be able to burn ISO files so that the DVD is bootable DVD burning. Burn at the slowest possible speed for best results.
Then install all the drivers you need for your PC support and driver page.
