HP Envy 17-3000 (3D) - replace internal 80 GB SSD? (or change the boot order?)

My Envy 17 - 3xxx (3D) has a 80 GB SSD as boot/OS drive and a 1 TB HARD drive as secondary.  I would replace the 80 GB SSD with a 500 GB new and faster SSD.  I cloned the SSD existing to the new device, all good.

However, I * physically cant just find the (existing) primary SSD drive *.  I took the back cover off, the two additional drive bays are here, I looked under the battery, CDROM, etc.  Clues?  I hope that if I just share, I'll be set.

Otherwise, I could leave the existing 80 GB SSD in there * if I could figure out how to set the boot devices order *.  Currently, the BIOS allows me to internal versus external rather than network vs CDROM as classes start command, but not the individual devices.  Clues?

Thank you!!!

If you get the 3.0 mSATA adapter usb like this:

http://www.Amazon.com/ZTC-enclosure-adapter-SuperSpeed-ZTC-EN002/DP/B00I4701O6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&QID=1410222318&SR=8-2&keywords=USB+to+mSATA

wost case you can use the mSATA as a very fast player. That's what I found myself doing with my WSSD, after I bought a 500 GB SSD for laptop. I could just NTO find any other product uses for it.

If please do after back and let us know how it works because it's still a bit of a dunkelfeld for HP laptops.

    I'm trying to install a new copy of windows 10 but currently it does not show an option to boot from usb. There are only two options i.e. BONE Boot Manager, BOOT from the file of EFI. I need to go into BIOS to change the boot order, but it asks for administrator password.

    I don't remember set the BIOS password on my laptop, and yet I've tried some of the passwords mentioned on the forums but none of them worked. I can't remove CMOS battery, which is part of the solution, because it requires for me to disassemble the laptop.

  • HP Envy 15-w002nx 360 X: how to remove GRUB or Ubuntu entry UEFI in the boot order

    Hello

    I tried Ubuntu in my HP Envy X 360 15 - w002nx laptop.  After you uninstall using uninstaller os, single operating system Ubuntu is deleted but not the GRUB. It always shows in the UEFI boot order. How to remove Ubuntu boot order entry? I tried EasyUEFI and also bcedit.exe command. It removes the entry, but after restart iis to come again. How to get rid of this problem?

    I appriciate your help.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum.

    In order to achieve that you need, please read these articles and follow the steps.

    You must first remove the EFI partition Ubuntu (actually, I think ths is what you see)

    After that, you can remove the HDD MBR GRUB using bootrec.exe /fixmbr and /FixBoot Bootrec.exe (this is done using CD/DVD recovery Windows or with Windows 10 - >ISO)

  • How to replace a laptop HARD drive and restore the backup without a Vista startup disk?

    Hello
     
    I need to replace the drive HARD internal of my laptop and have a picture of it, created using the backup feature in Vista, on an external USB HDD. However, I've upgraded to Vista XP via a download online and don't have a Vista disc.

    How can I create a Vista startup disk that will give access to the backup/restore function, which allowed me to restore my backup to the new HARD disk image once I did the replacement? And is there anything else I forget?

    Thanks in advance!

    You can 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.

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

    It is General info how to make a Vista startup repair disk:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    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.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    See you soon.

    Hi I'm trying to boot from usb on a desktop HP ENVY 700. I don't know the serial number now.

    I followed the instructions and have produced a bootable USB and I checked this on a work dell computer where there is an option for me to boot from my USB if I so wish, but on my HP ENVY any options choose it does not appear with my USB in question and when I try to change the boot sequence making sure the usb/floppy and drive hard usb is above the rest of the sequencers starting it always starts just to the top as usual to my windows boot 10. I've disabled secure boot and used the boot of the legacy and it still does not work.

    I went through all the options I can that seem to be logic and it just does not work. I don't understand and I have to start using a usb key that I use the operating system can be very dangerous in a real environment, so it can not be downloaded to the hard drive.

    I need immediate help, this becomes quite frustrating now that it should be simple to do, but HP is not the way to simplisitic to do.

    Please if someone could point me in the right direction I would be so appreciative ideally if I could have a ride on the way to do

  • HP Envy 750-197c Desktop: you can add a SSD internal flash disk to the envy of HP 750-197c Desktop

    You can add an internal SSD to the envy of HP 750 - 197c Desktop that has a 2 TB drive installed?

    DMSIceman, welcome to the forum.

    Yes, you can move the HARD disk and install an SSD.  You will need to buy at least a 128 GB SSD.  Here is the data sheet for the computer.

    The best way to install an SSD is to leave the current HARD drive as it came from the factory.  Connect the SSD drive to another SATA port on the motherboard.  Install the software of Migration data provided by the SSD manufacturer on the HARD drive.  Once installed, open it and follow the instructions carefully.  You choose the SSD as a target.  After the data is transferred from the HDD to the SSD, you can disconnect the HARD drive and start the computer.  It should start on the SSD.  Then, you can disconnect the SSD to the first SATA connector and move to another Bay HARD drive and connect it to another SATA port on the motherboard.  You can use it for storage.

    I like the SSD Samsung EVO.  Samsung offers its data Migration software to clone HARD drive.  In addition, they provide their software Wizard to optimize the performance of the SSD.  You can find all the software at the bottom of the page in the link I provided for the EVO.  The Samsung SSD were good about starting in HP computers without changing the BIOS settings.  You will need to buy an adapter to allow the reader to 2.5 "to fit into a 3.5 Bay".

  • HP Envy 5530: HP Envy 5530 told to replace the color cartridge, even after replacing with a new one.

    HP Envy 5530 said to replace the color cartridge, even after replacing with a new one.  Printer is 1 year old and I replaced the cartridges several times over the past year.  I am enrolled in the program of HP ink.  I can run the printer mode single cartridge using a black ink only and it works with my pc XP, Ipad, Chrome pc and mobile phone.  My pc win 8.1 will not print anything other than a test page.  Printer on the pc file lists always attention required when you try to print from the pc win 8.1.  I believe that the problem may be related to surface of cartridge for printing inside the HP envy heads 5530.  This part is available for purchase, and if so, where?

    I found a work around.  On the pc win 8.1, it seems that the print request must see a reset of the HP envy 5530 to print mode single cartridge.  I just start the pc and then reset the printer by lifting the hatch for the print heads.  That's all.  Once this is done, the 'attention required' message goes to the loan and it is able to print.  It will open a window, which suggests you add the color cartridge, but it will disappear when printing.  Simply open the door once and you can print until you turn off the pc.

  • HP G72-B53NR: replacement internal hard drive used

    OK, so my laptop been gave me my best friend 3 years. I don't know exactly on the side '' Hunt of water-with-cash '' society (which means that my funds are not enough to buy anything). Very recently, my laptop has been slow and slow. After a particularly odd mistake involving my laptop power led is lit when it is off, and turning issues, I managed to solve the problem with what felt like luck silent. (I took apart and cleaned the circuit and temporarily disconnected a few things, including this small battery {on the advice of a website} thing) But since he works back, the slowness problem persists and become even worse (to the point where it takes forever to do anything) and despite my best efforts (and apparently Google as search engine :/) I couldn't speed it up. I entered the thing of the boot parameters by pressing ESC and F10 (I think) and has conducted an audit of HARD drive. The long and short, I think. I received an error message: hard drive 1 305 complete (or perhaps 303, it's been a while). I Googled that and said the error means that the HARD drive has failed.

    So, I managed to acquire a compatible HDD for my laptop. The only thing is, he used (Seagate 500 GB 5400 RPM). I swapped it with mine (WD Scorpio Blue 320 GB 5400 RPM) and found a lot of nonsense, that I especially managed to remove. I had to download some internal things missing, such as a drive for letting me use the internet. But despite all this, the used HARD disk feels 'off' and there are some issues that do not seem to solve. That is on the system information screen, it lists the computer model (HP Pavilion dv6) precedent and said that my side needs to be updated. He failed in this attempt. I also can't seem to complete the configuration of a service pack update. (During the "service pack configuration", he partially stops and says "failed to Setup service pack reverting of changes") I ran to check the HARD drive for this one and I do not receive an error. I can't find solutions for these issues online. I think that the problem is caused by the fact that the HARD disc is always set to the original computer, in addition to having a different copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. I would like to remove Windows 7 from this HARD drive and replace it with the factory my laptop OS HDD failure. I saved everything I want personal folders from my old HDD, so I'm not worried about it. I want to know also what else could I do to format the replacement used to correctly set up for synchronization (best word I could come up with at the time) with my laptop.

    If there is anything that I need to provide but missed or left I will on request.

    Microsoft has pulled all the .iso Windows 7 images he used to host m6mobile.fr from the web. They also asked us not to post a link to downloads so I can't do it for you. But an ingenious thrifty person who understands where downloads will surely be able to find someone hosting the old pictures .iso 'somewhere' on the internet. To help you as much as I'm allowed to do, is the official name of the download for Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OEM:

    X 17 - 58997.iso

    You can burn the .iso to a DVD and use it to install legally on your laptop by using the product key on the sticker on the laptop, or maybe inside the battery bay. You can get the drivers from this site.

  • HP ENVY 15 J122TX TS: replace the HDD with SSD

    I'm new here, I bought a HP ENVY 15 TS, there an mSata 24GO and I was wondering if I could install a larger mSata to run the o/s. If this is not the case, replace with a new SSD HARD drive? If so, what is the optimum capacity should I install? My characteristics are, Core i7-4700MQ, 8 x 2 GB RAM, 1 TB of HARD drive.

    Awaitng a solution.

    Thank you

    Here is the Service Manual of the 15 WANTED TS J122TX:

    Manual

    See pages 43 to 48 for more information on the removal and replacement of hard drives, including the WSSD. Your laptop Fortunately for you access to these components. The reader of the WSSD cannot be done in bootable without changes of very high-level software that I will assume that you do not want to try. Even with those that you are technically not the start of the WSSD to redirect to start Windows boot from the primary drive and finish by the WSSD. So basically if you want to run an SSD, penetrates a 500 GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD and remove the MSSD. We then have to reinstall the software on the SSD drive. With an SSD as drive so it is more a reason for the accelerator of the WSSD, but on your model of operating system installation still requires a bit of trickery that storage controller is on RAID and you need to load a driver during installation. After if you want to proceed with this I can be sure that you are interested in before getting into the details.

    Hello

    No, but he already has EXTERNAL "converter" which is the charger. Please turnthe charger up-side-down to see. He must have a line that says Input: 100V-240V 50 / 60 Hz this means that you can use almost anywhere with the help of domestic electricity.

  • 23 - d160qd envy: new motherboard, now empty screen and 6 beeps. Cannot change the legacy BIOS. Help!

    Good ladies and Gentlemenof the Interwebulars, I hope someone can shed some light on my situation.

    Walked down one day to see that my computer would not start. A diagnosis which in a bad power port. Got a new motherboard because after desoldering (or that's what I tried to do) I realized that it was small to (re) welding in and I could not find the right part to reorganize.

    so I got a new motherboard. The number replacement part direct. Barefoot on my floor wood and ESD wrsitband on, I put in this bad boy. Double and triple check things and connections. Go to hit the power button and I get 6 beeps and 6 flashes of correspopnding of the powerbutton. The system does not appear to be on, fan is running with the other sounds of starting and running sounds, but I have a white screen and orange electric button. If I tap CTRL + ALT + DELETE it will restart and begin the process again. The 6 beeps by HP standards denotes missing graphics / card error. My original motherboard had a built-in graphics card so I thought that the same new part number card mother too. Obviously not. so I had a Geforce 2Go MXM graphics card update with heat sink. Barefoot, wood floor, bracelet ESD, thermal paste and turn it on to hear... SIX BEEPS AND SCREEN WHITE.

    After Googling around, some people say that I have to enter the BIOS and change boot legacy and fashion out of the UEFI mode that's killing me right now. I have join and would completely if I could see my screen of the BIOS, or anything for that matter. I can not go back also to my other card because it will not feed. So my question; How to make or change the BIOS settings so that my computer will recognize a graphics card or internal graphic that should be on the new motherboard itself so that it starts?

    I need this computer for CAD work soon so I thought help processor i7, 8GBs RAM, Geforce card and touch screen to perform a generation of PC.  So if someone has a great idea they would projected upward on this post, I'd appreciate it. Thank you!

    Your computer is not posting, sound rather give an error message in the form of 6 beeps and red LED flashing, indicating graphics / video issue.

    You can never get into the BIOS of the device, if its not posting, not on a HP Desktop atleast.

    I recommend, you disconnect all components and fittings connected to the motherboard i.e. cables SATA, power cables, RAM, processor, heatsink, power supply and battery CMOS as well.

    Now, press and hold button power unit for a minute or two., with the power and everything is still disconnected.

    Then,.

    (1) Insert the battery CMOS back into its slot, install the processor and the heat sink, connect all cables power that goes to the motherbaord in the PSU and CPU and etc., less SATA cable and cable power to drive hard and Optcal drive and turn on the device, of course after you have connected the rear power cable.

    (2) check if the machine beeps and check whether it is 5 times.

    (3) If yes install a memory in the first slot (slot black), connect the monitor and turn on the power and check if there is no video output.

    (4) if so, connect the return which is always disconncted, to their respective locations and ports and turn them the unit on and get on with your CAD stuff.

    IF NO,

    2 options:

    (1) if the unit is still under warranty, call 1800-474-6836 and have a technician on-site visit your place and replace the parts needed for the operational unit.

    (2) or the motherboard you purchased could have been Dead On Arrival. Get a warranty replacement for the DOA mobo and re install a new Board of Directors.

    Good luck!
