HP Pavilion 500: Can I install my HP Pavilion 205t - 500 HD in HP Pavilion 500-490?

My HP Pavilion 500 - 205t was destroyed by lightning. The HD is OK I bought an HP Pavilion 500-490 because the specifications were very close.  I want to use my HD 205 t. Both computers are Core i3-4130, 1 TB 7200 SATA 6 G 3.5 HDs, same OS (Windows 7 Pro 64). My question is: can I exchange them, or should I get an external HD enclosure and copy the 205t on the 490? If I need of the HD casing external, looks like aluminium would be better, but would like recommendation for who holds out my HD.

Thank you. That's what I needed to know. I read that just replacing the hard drive could invalidate it. Not like the old days! I could have put the HD in the new machine and it had a race without delay. I ordered external HD casing that you recommended - and thank you for that, too. I would get in 6/24. Blessings, Abby

    jherbie77,

    Are you sure of that model #?  I found it listed hereandhere as a PATA/IDE hard drive. Not a good choice!

    That being said, here are my suggestions.

    You need an internal Sata DVD + RW (there be DL mode) and the necessary cabling. Power supply not having a spare power cord Sata, but it wil have the molex 4 pin. You also need a Sata data cable.

    Player $18.99

    cable selection:

    just a data cable, you have found a power cord Sata 15 pin $2.99

    just a power and data in the drop-down list $3.99

  • What is the maximum size of hard drive, which can be installed in a pavilion d4790y desktop computer?

    What is the maximum size of hard drive, which can be installed in a desktop pavilion d4790y?

    It would be a secondary drive, not the boot drive.

    The operating system is Vista Home Premium, 32-bit.  The version of the BIOS is 5.08.

    Are there any changes or upgrades that would allow an internal hard drive 3 TB to install?

    Here are the specifications and configurable options for your desktop HP Pavilion d4790y and here are the specifications of its card mother P5BW - THE (Basswood2). Based on the specifications and the age of the computer, I would expect you to use a hard drive 3 TB as a secondary drive on Windows Vista (DISPLACEMENT SP1 or SP2) and Windows 7. Formatted as MBR would require the drive to use with a minimum of two partitions. Formatted as GPT would require only a single partition. In no case will you be able to use the 3 TB as a boot device drive because your computer does not support a UEFI BIOS that allows booting from a GPT formatted disk. No changes or updated should be held.

    Hi, Henrik:

    Specifications of your PC seem to meet all of the hardware requirements to be able to fully run W7.

    P D 915 processor is capable of 64-bit.

    ( (4M-Cache-2_80-GHz-800-MHz-FSB http://ark.intel.com/products/27515/Intel-Pentium-D-Processor-915-)

    I recommend you max on your memory to 4 GB as a 64-bit operating system requires more memory to run a 32 bit OS.

    A 32 bit OS will perform better on a PC that is running less than 4 GB of memory, unless you need a 64-bit system to run 64-bit programs.

    I would also start the W7 Upgrade Advisor to confirm what I posted.

  • How much ram can I install?

    How much ram can I install in a Pavilion 500 152ea?

    with the chipset AMD APU A10-6700 (4.3 GHz with Turbo Core, 3.7 GHz, 4 MB cache) card mother AMD A75 FCH.

    Already installed a simple 8 GB of ram

    It is 8GB 16 GB or 32GB? & is it dual channel memory

    operating system is said to be 64-bit has a graphics card separate installed there are 4 dimm slots, I know that is not double

    Thanks for reading & a helping hand

    Tgirl_Alana, welcome to the forum.

    Here is the page of 'product' for the computer.  If you look in the section titled 'Memory upgrade information', it shows the maximum memory as 32 GB with a 64 bit OS.  It is dual channel memory architecture.  Therefore, you should check the memory stick existing brand and match exactly.  Otherwise, dual channel does not work correctly.  Running dual channel memory is faster.  If you does not match the existing memory, it may be better to buy two new sticks as a set.

    If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.
