How/where to replace hard drive

Whenever I turn on my computer, it displays a message indicating the hard disk failure is imminent and suggested me to replace it.  I have already backed up all my data and tried to restore the computer to factory settings, but the same message appears.

I have to buy a new hard drive?  Alternatively, can I install a program to cure the problem?  Where can I buy a new hard drive which corresponds to my Presario SR5838HK PC computer?

Thank you!

You can replace your internal hard drive to the SATA II (3 Gb/s) with a new SATA II (3 Gb/s) or the newer SATA III (6 Gb/s) as long as you follow this advice:

(1) must be the same size (your supposed to be delivered with a 320 or larger.) The maximum size limit is 2 T.

(2) SATA II are hard to find. New SATA III AF drives need a minimum of WIN Vista, you have installed. You will get slightly better performance with the latest SATA III 64 MB cache of readers.

(3) If you have at least one Seagate or WD drive in the configuration, can use their free cloning software. He called Assistant disk.  I hope that your original HD can run without the flaws in the process.

The clone treat it direct. See here for help.

    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.

    Hello

    I had replaced a lot of Toshiba notebook hard drives and HARD drive is normally very easy to remove!

    Turn on the laptop and look for a flap that is a little larger than a HARD drive! (It can also be on the side of the cover!)

    When you remove the flap, you should see the HARD drive in a cage that is plugged! Remove with caution!

    That's all

    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.

    Or

    2.) HARD drive is placed in the Notepad. In this case you will need to Remover the keyboard and some covers to replace the HARD drive

  • How to partition a hard drive for a B50-70 for Linux? No problem with that?

    Hello

    How to partition a hard drive for a B50-70?

    I want to install Linux and keep Windows 8.1 also.

    This will affect the software factory example: back up hard drive function, OKR?

    Problems partitioning B50 of the 1970s?

    Is it acquisitions have 8.1 Windows on a laptop Lenovo-B50-7?

    What will happen if I got rid of Windows 8.1 operating system?

    Thanks in advance.

    Information on the machine:

    B50-70

    Model name: 20384

    Windows 8.1

    I've not seen / heard of successful use of the flash drive for recovery purposes. The default software using optical disk, when I used it on my G580.

    If your laptop does not have a CD / DVD burner, you may need to contact them directly to discuss this option.

    As to where he is? It is a hidden partition on the hard drive, is usually not accessible.

    Cloning the hard drive can not return to that partition hidden - it would be a little bit the clone of the drive to work.

    I recommend to download your manual of maintenance on the Support site and learn more about the 100% specific for your laptop recovery process.

  • Dv6-7202se replacement HARD drive

    Hi, I want to buy a replacement for my DV6-7202se HARD drive. originally, I have a 1 TB running at 5400 RPM SATA HARD drive. I am running Windows 8.1.

    My laptop is now out of its original 1 year warranty.

    (1) is it possible for me to go to a larger, faster HARD drive?

    (2) my laptop was purchased in the UNITED Arab Emirates. Where can I find the replacement HARD drive here?

    (3) my current HARD drive has a number of specific product? The official site of HP can't give me that and continues to throw messages 'no information found.

    (4) where will I get the recovery disks to reinstall the operating system on it? He came originally with Windows 8, I upgraded to 8.1.

    Thank you!

    You can certainly get a faster drive, but I think that the biggest readers available now 1.5 TB laptop and they all work at 5400 RPM. Here is your Service Manual:

    Manual

    One option you have is to install an accelerator reader WSSD/mSATA cache to speed up the slower drive. The problem on your model, it is very difficult to get to the slot of the WSSD. It is not in the Bay of accessible customer service.

    To speed up the system even more, you can install an SSD expand instead of the ordinary reader, but the largest SSD drive is a 1 to.

    Where you can get all this material in the UAE, I have no idea. I guess you can get things shipped from Europe, Asia and the United States

    In regards to the operating system, unless it does not turn right you can clone (copy bit for little) the old drive and transfer the image to the new, or we can get you a link to download an image of disk for Windows 8, which can be installed on any hard drive. The License Code is embedded in the BIOS of your motherboard, so you just need to install it and Windows will activate automatically.

    Post back if one of these options looks interesting and we can assist in its application.

  • 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.
