• Dv6-1105EE replacement hard drive.

  I have a Dv6-1105ee. Hard drive is crash because it is showing me the msg of error startup (301).
  Can I replace my current Hitachi 250 GB at 5400 RPM with Seagate momentus 320 RPM @5400 to my laptop.

  Seagate Momentus thin 320 GB laptop internal hard drive (ST320LT012) is what I have in my mind, but don't know if it will work properly on my Dv6-1105ee? Please help me with this. Hoping soon for the answer.

  It works perfectly. It will not fill to the top of the caddy, but all the screws are in the same place in order to be able to screw in it and connect it to the computer with the SATA cable. However, a little more money you would be more happy with this one:

  The difference between the rotational speed 5400 and 7200 RPM is quite noticeable.

• HP ENVY m6 - 1188ca Notebook PC: HP ENVY m6 - Hard Drive short DST check FAILED

  Hi there, I get the following start-up error message.

  HP ENVY m6 - 1188ca Notebook PC

  Short hard drive DST Check: FAILURE

  FAILURE ID: GU71BT-6AA892-XD7X1F-60RK03

  Restoration of the system, cooling system, auto repair, no recovery option seems to work. I get to the screen only and cannot get into Windows.

  Is this a problem of material strictly for some? What are my options and next steps? Laptop went from warranty.

  Thanks in advance for any answers.

  

  Last UPDATED October 19, 2016 - I now get this screen when the laptop is turned on.

  

  New laptops are much more fast and pleasant. If your budget by all means, treat yourself. You could fix your old for around $ 100 may - $50 - $60 for a hard drive and about $40 for a recovery media.

• 4 1002-tx envy: Envy 4 hard drive failure

  Hello world

  I have a HP ENVY 4 1002 - tx Ultrabook (Intel core i5, ssd of 32 GB, Windows 7, out of warranty) which failed the Test of break-in and of another diaognostic HP tests. The result - HDD smart check fails and gives a long fault code. I took a backup and reformatted PC to factory settings, but the problem is still there. I browsed the HP forum and looked at a few responses and guess I have to change my drive hard as the best possible solution (even if it's at work, but the HARD drive may stop working at any time). I would like to know:

  1. what HARD drive (HDD) should I replace with as I have currently Hitachi 500 GB 5400 RPM? Should I go with the same brand, or there are other good options. In addition, this time I would go for 1 TB HARD drive

  2. when I was looking for new HARD drive on the web I found there are different dimensions 1.8 "or 2.5" HDD ", size of the cache, SATA or PATA. That look is this laptop?

  3. Finally, it is easy to change the HARD drive on your own because it is a ultrabook or should I go to a repair shop

  Thank you

  The replacement hard drive is actually not so difficult. Remove the back cover and you will have access to all internal components. Even the motherboard is fairly easy to replace. Here is the Manual:

  Repair manuals

  See p. 37. The real question you'll encounter is cache 32 gig WSSD accelerator and the fact that the storage is in RAID mode. Reloading of an operating system on the new drive is a little awkward and get the "acceleration" of work is also a bit more difficult than the normal software installation. You have a HP recovery disk?

  To answer the other question, you can use any 2.5 inches wide 7 mm thickness SATA HDD to. It is a "superslim" configuration and is readily available, but be careful not to get the type of 9.5 mm thicker. The 32 gig WSSD provides quick access to start and the program, you can get without a SSD drive. I would get a 1 TB drive, like this:

• 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.

• Pavilion DV6-6135dx: Replace hard drive SSD

  Unfortunately my old HD optical 640Go dies and I need to replace it.  I would use an SSD.  Can anyone give me a suggestion on a good option and if you did, how does it work?

  Hi @sdlloyd,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  It's a great place to find answers and advice!

  You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the HP Guide's Forums:

  Learn how to post and much more.

  I understand that the original 640 GB hard drive has failed and you plan to install a SSD drive.

  Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service of Guide. Please note Chapter 3, page 36, section 1, the recommended replacement disks.  You will notice the 160 GB SSD is recommended only if you have an Intel processor.

  When I checked it Pavilion dv6-6135dx Entertainment Notebook PC specifications , you have an AMD processor.

  Other drives may work, but as they are not tested, there is no guarantee that it would be.

  Here is a link to a post of @erico   Re: how to upgrade your laptop to a SATA 2.5 "SSD [new] which has helped other people install SSD drives for you to look over.

  Please let me know what you decide and the outcome.

• Pavilion DV6 2155dx: upgrade HARD drive to SSD

  I want to upgrade my laptop Hp HDD to the SSD. Very successful on the 2 HP desktops. But not a great success on the laptop. Windows does not start with the installed SSD. Black screen with how to text of amendments, but no solution. Checking the BIOS it seems too basic and has no provision to select the correct setting. How can I upgrade the laptop to recognise and start of the SSD, as desktop computers.

  Problem solved. Maybe this helps someone else.

  For reference, the SSD HARD drive migration has been completed with Samsung software tools.

  Although a similar migration was very successful on 2 offices of HP prior as the PC starts fine, this time the laptop set to level did not boot from SSD.

  Based on the reviews elsewhere on the web, with the portable operating from the original HARD disk, I adjusted the BIOS boot sequence to boot from the internal CD-ROM. I was then already migrated SSD HARD drive. Then I started from a prior agreement prepared the repair Windows 7 Bootable disc - now I know why they are so very precious! - and started to repair startup disk said. After a few additional steps miners, he says the problem fixed and carried out traditional, clean startups.

  Also, I can confirm that the Pavilion DV6 works very well with a 250 GB SSD. Most good, this is a speedster. There is therefore no limitations to 160 GB the HP Document seems to suggest.

• HP Pavilion DV6-7050 (EU) Hard Drive by unscrewing

  Hi guys!

  I just bought a HP Pavilion DV6-7050 and a 500 GB SSD to put in it. When I opened it to the top, I found that the screw would not cancel any screwdriver I used! I did some research, and the screws are Phillips PM2, 5 × 3.5: as far as I see it, there is no commercially available screwdrivers available for purchase that can undo this screw.

  It is just a small operation I can (and did) me: I will not pay anything more, I want to just trade around two hard drives. A counselor on the way out the hard drive caddy?

• Envy 14 - hard drive failure imminent

  I have an Envy 14-1110NR laptop and receive a message of imminent hard drive failure, whenever I start.  After you run the HP diagnostics, checking the hard drive breaks down so I think I need to replace it.

  The hard drive is a Samsung HM640JJ which is obsolete.  Anyone know what I need to do...?

  Thank you very much...

  Hello Stephen,

  In this case, may be your best option to create an Image of your existing installation system and store it on a HARD drive external - that can then be loaded on the new drive and your machine will be in the exact same condition as it was when the image was created.

  There is a good guide on creating it on the following link - start to the subtopic 'An Option'.

  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/8956-system-image-create-Windows-8-a.html

  At the end of the process, be sure to create the 'system repair disc'.

  When the drive has been replaced, you can then boot from the repair disk and reload this Image to the new drive - the procedure is detailed in the guide on the following link.

• Remove earlier / released old system files and Microsoft applications to wipe hard drive.

  This weekend I had a BSOD problem. Fortunately I was able to recover the system due to the construction, it supports routines in XP. Now I try however to condition my system to minimize a reoccurrence by cleaning the system of updating drivers, to eliminate the unnecessary s/w and wipe my hard drive. Is safe for me to remove earlier versions of the update of the s/w Microsoft for office, MSXML 4.0 Service Pack 2, Windows Internet Explorer 8.0 s/w updates, updates to Windows XP, Microsoft. NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and updated security system? I could recover valuable space on my hard drive. Thank you.

  PS. is it possible to transfer all the information it is to say, s/w, docs, files, etc. of a hard drive on a bigger hard drive?

  I'll answer the part about the updates Windows and framework-

  Remove the old Windows updates: -.

  Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

  These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
  NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

  Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

  Don't NOT delete the folder $ $hf_mig

• Dv6 - 6153cl supports hard drives SATA III?

  I have a problem with my laptop and I think I've narrowed the problem down to the HARD drive. I want to replace and update, but I don't know what drives can I use.

  I would like to know if I can install a SATA III HARD disk in my computer laptop dv6 - 6153cl. From what I can tell, it currently has an installed SATA II HDD. Can I switch from SATA III or am I stuck with SATA II?

  Download the SATA-III. Even if the motherboard supports only SATA-II (not true in your case), you can use the SATA-III drives. SATA is fully backward compatible. But, yet again, your motherboard HM65 chipset that supports support SATA-III. A good rule of thumb is that if it has USB 3.0 is also SATA-III. Not 100% true but terribly close to true.
