HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea - SSD SATA III HARD disk? & HARD drive space gone?

Hello

I have a HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea. It works fairly well, but I think I have an SSD would really speed up the loading of programs and start etc. I'm not so sure that the upgrade. I read on a thread if I had Port SATA 1 6 Gbps Supported or SATA Port 0 6 Gbps then my cell phone was good for SATA III. Is this the case? Joined a program hwinfo32 image, can you check if my phone would support SATA III?

The other issue is my HD. My laptop says I have 750GB HD coming to about 700 GB after formatting. But my laptop seems to have only a total of 350 GB with all sectors added together. Where is the space?

Hello

Yes, your laptop has 2 ports SATA 6 GB/s (SATA III) most likely the hard drive and an optical drive are connected on it. There are also 2 SATA 3Gbps ports but not in use, I guess.

The other issue is that there are 4 partitions but the partition 0 is strange and shouldn't be there. There should be a small boot for Windows partition (for BitLocker etc.), drive C: with Windows, D: drive with a partition recovery and partition Tools HP QuickWeb and some diagnostic utilities. It seems that the recovery partition is missing, the C: drive has been decreased and then created a small partition at the beginning of the hard disk. Take a look at disk management in administrative tools in the control panel this partitioning is on the hard drive.

  • Pavilion dv6-1030us: there is no hard drive

    I have a dv6-1030us which today would not initialize, said that no boot device and the hard disk do not exist.  Works very well yesterday, without any hard disk problems.  I have the original recovery disks that I created when I got the machine.  When I put disc 1 one number, it says windows copies the files, then a status bar continuously appears above the copyright of microsoft thingy.  The status bar continues to flow as he do something and not going anywhere.  If I insert recovery disk number 2 nothing happens, even if I insert the disc number 2 and try to restart.  Any ideas or is it time to go shopping

    It seems that the hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced. Laptop SATA hard detail can be used. Just be sure to get a quality at least equal the original in order to use recovery disks. It may be big, but not small ability more. For example if you have a 320GB hard drive you can use a 500 GB hard drive but not a hard drive of 250 GB. The main problem you will have to avoid is that latest hdds Advanced Format (AF) will cause major problems and probably a return for Vista recovery disks.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6060ep: question to replace HARD drive

    Hello.

    I would like to know if replacing the current 500 Gb Hdd with a SSD would cancel or in any way affect my warranty coverage. The laptop is a year old. Thanks in advance for any assistance of withy this question.

    Hello:

    There should be no problem with the warranty as long as you don't break something trying to install the HARD drive.

    HP will not support the SSD however and your recovery disks don't work because the new drive must be the same size the 500 GB HARD drive you removed.

    I have a workaround for the problem of recovery disk...

    According to the specifications of your PC system, it came with W7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    It must be in English, French or Spanish version too.

    If so, download the ISO W7 Home Premium 64 bit on the link below.

    Burn the file on a disk using a program that can burn ISO files so the DVD is bootable DVD burning.

    Burn at the lowest speed as possible.

    Then use the product key 25 character on the bottom of your laptop computer to activate the installation.

    Support of your laptop and driver page visit to install all the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads of MS of W7.

  • Pavilion dv6 3080el - sistem recovery after hard drive change

    Hello world!

    I have a pavilion laptop dv6 3080el with windows 7 and after the HARD drive that basically, I bought a disc double, specifically BLACK (2) WD Dual Drive.
    I used the DVD I reinstal windows using system recovery, but after I put in the DVD 5 and pressed "continue" to restart the system, I just get (after the first screen where by pressing ESC, you go to the Start Menu) wrote a black screen with "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".
    Any suggestions on how I can complete the installation of windows?

    Thank you!!!

    I just went through this same problem. See the solution posted under the message topic "pavilion dv-6 3216 does not start.

    Good luck.

  • Pavilion dv6: I did now the hard drive on my HDD test failed and the pavilion dv6

    The problem is that my laptop when I start it it takes like 10-15 minutes to load.

    I see loading windows xp logo and then he is suspended for more then 10 minutes or more.

    Now, I tried to do a test for the material. I turn on the laptop and click the F2 key and I entered the test screen of hp hardware. I moved start test drive hard and after 5-10 seconds or if stopped with a test failure:

    That's what I see now on the screen of the laptop:

    Test Drive: 1

    INTELLIGENT control: PAST

    DST short: FAILURE

    FAILURE ID: 64WE1A-5BC7Q7-XD003F - 60Q 903

    PRODUCT ID: XE041EA #ABT

    Hard drive 1

    Edit:

    I tried now all the other tests in the F2 screen, and they all went except the short DST hard drive that has failed.

    Better to buy a new hard drive and replace it with this one and I install the new OS on it own?

    Test drive: FAILURE

    Does that mean ID failure? I need to replace with a new hard drive? If so can I buy a new hard drive and replace it only with myself?

    I did no other reviews but I want to first of all understand what it means to id of failure.

    Hello

    The hard drive is faulty defiantly and Yes should not replace. Failure ID is given, so if your laptop is under warranty you can give this to HP and it will then allow you the replacement

    Usually the instructions on how to replace the hard drive are in the manual of your computer that you will be able to get a copy on the HP site. You can also buy the HP installation media which will be operating system files on your for reinstall on the new hard drive.

  • Pavilion DV6: Loud hum of the hard drive when burning CD

    Recently, I noticed that my laptop makes a fairly loud "buzzing" or "vibrant" sound. I encountered this problem recently when I tried to burn an audio CD. I've read about this problem on other forums of which most, explain that the cause could be due to the type of disc. I have this problem when I read from a disk. This problem could lead to the type of disc that I use?

    Hello:

    It has been my experience throughout my laptop and deskop PC DVD burners do the same racket when it burns CD / DVD, but not when it reads them as well.

    I don't think it's something to worry about.

    When burning a disc, a much more strain is placed on material that when reading a disc.

    I use Memorex or Verbatim quality disc too, and readers always sound as you said.

    One of the burners of my desktop PC is so loud, it begins to vibrate the case and I have to give him a rap on the side for the case of vibrate with the burner in the quiet.

  • XPS8500 mSATA iii, HARD drive disk SATA port?

    I have a XPS8500 Office with 2 SATA iii HARD drive currently as the only player to. I bought a 1 to Samsun Evo 850 to replace the HARD drive (the HARD drive has only about 600 GB used, so it should migrate completely without problem). Ports SATA 4 deep 1 SATA ii and SATA 0 and mSATA ports are the only SATA iii ports, I would move the existing 2 TB HDD in a location empty in the cage with the SSD drive in the location of the SATA 0 port. Ideally I would drive the HARD drive using the port mSATA to keep capacity SATA iii. Is there an adapter that will allow you to it? In other words: an adapter to change the architecture of the port mSATA connector to allow a normal SATA cable connect the port for a SATA drive.

    There are adapters to convert a port mSATA on the motherboard in a standard SATA 3 port to a HARD drive. If you google around you can find them, for example this one.

    Remember that I do not specifically recommend (or not) this map or this provider. So shop around to find what fits your needs and your budget.

    Also, I have no idea how that these adapters are working (or not).

  • HP Pavilion dv7 - 4083cl: support SSD SATA III?

    Hello

    I think about adding a 2nd. hard drive in my HP Pavilion dv7 - 4083cl.

    The current drive of 500 GB at 7200 RPM will be the 2nd. drive and a new SSD will be 1. drive (System and boot).

    I was looking for this information, but I couldn't find the answer. My doubts are:

    1. the dv7 - 4083 cl does support SATA III? If I install a SATA III disc, will it work to its full potential, or as a SATA II drive? In other words, can I buy a SSD SATA II drive cheaper because I wouldn't have the performance of a most recent hard drive SSD SATA III?

    2. a 256 GB SSD support this machine? Or is it just up to 160 GB?

    Thank you!

    Hello:

    You know the chipset specifications to determine what version of your laptop SATA drive will manage transfer speeds to.

    Your laptop computer has a chipset Mobile Intel series 5 (HM55) who can run that hard disks to the SATA II transfer speed.

    Not until you get to new Intel 6 Series chipsets and can they run SATA III drives to SATA III speed.

    Here is the link to the plug on the chipset of your notebook.  Note the SATA 3.0 GB/S specifications.

    http://www.Intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/mainstream-chipsets/mobile-chipset-HM55.html

    Since your laptop comes standard with a 500 GB HARD drive, I imagine a 250 GB SSD should work fine.

    However, the recovery disks may not work on a smaller hard drive.

  • This laptop will support an ocz vertex 3 series VTX3-25SAT3 - 240 G 240 GB SSD, SATA III 6 GB/s?

    HP Pavilion DV7-4080US, Windows 7, 64-bit

    I want to replace the existing 500 GB "d" (5400 RPM) drive with an OCZ 240 GB drive SSD SATA III and must make sure that this laptop will support a SATA III SSD drive?

    I am not concerned about the start time that you want to use the SSD for video editing, so I don't anticipate using the SSD instead of the c"" drive.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    Well, this will speed up the startup time of your machine a lot but for editing video may not help much. In any case the SATA III (or 3) is backward compatible with SATA II (or 2) and SATA I (or 1). You're probably on the price/cost. A little program called PC Wizard will tell you the speed of the disk on your computer controller:

    You can download it from the following link:

  • Advice on moving 1.5 to SATA 2 HARD drive and put the Samsung SSD on SATA 1...

    My plan is to make a DVD of W10 MS

    Power off

    Unplug 1.5 to boot/storage HDD SATA 1

    Connect Samsung SSD SATA 1

    Turning and fresh install MS W10 on SSD and let it update

    Then, can I plug 1.5 to SATA 2 HARD drive and make it just my storage via disk management?

    What steps/tips to make this an easy transition?

    Paul

    It should not matter if you use SATA1 or SATA2, but there are always exceptions.

    I got a motherboard with two different SATA [Intel & Marvel] controllers with different speeds. It is unusual, so the safest bet is to use the same SATA connector for your new SSD that you used for your old HDD.

    Since you have two bootable disks, you may need to go into EUFI/BIOS and set your boot order to boot from the new SSD first.

    You should be able to access the files on the old drive without problems, but I've seen on occasion where you will get an "Access denied" error due to 'permissions' problems, especially if the original/OS disk has been protected by a password. If you have any questions, you can create a linux live boot disk "to access your files.

    Instead keep you the old drive as is, with an operating system and boot volumes on it, you must backup/move your important files to your new SSD then remove all volumes on the old disk, create a volume, and then format to use as a data/backup drive.

  • Satellite P200-13Z - upgrade the hard drive - can I use SATA II hard drives?

    I have a Satellite P200-13Z with simple standard Fujitsu 120 GB SATA hard drive. I want to change this to a RPM SATA II 250 GB Western Digital 7200 RPM drive. This interface SATA laptop does support SATA II? Thank you very much!

    Not your portable computer does not support SATA II.

    However, you can buy the SATA II hard drive and put it in your laptop. Only way to get it going is to restrict the new speed of SATA HDD, I accelerate. To do this is to introduce a jumper on the drive to restrict it to SATA I speeds up. Once it's done put in your laptop and viola, it works.

    Good luck, but I would like to get a toshiba technician to install it if its under warranty. It's for your own good, so you don't turn your laptop into a boat anchor.

  • I have 2 failure windows 7 installs with 35 GB of hard drive space, but I find no windows.old file?

    I have 2 failure windows 7 installs with 35 GB of hard drive space. but I find no windows.old file?

    The first installation failed because I had a copy of counterfeit Windows 7.

    I bought another copy and installed. Then, I got a horrible virus/worm that disabled all .exe files and the fix was just beyond me!

    I installed again but did not know that the previous facility where still there.

    I tried to clean the disc, but I don't me "from previous versions of windows" to clean.

    I find no windows.old file. (Enabled hidden files)

    Only I have a disc ssd 60gig and want the missing 35gig kindly returned to use.

    Can someone help?

    Check the system restore to see how much disk space it uses:

    Click Start

    Right click on computer

    Click on properties

    Click on advanced system settings

    Click on the System Protection

    Click on configure

    Adjust the amount of disk space allocated to system restore.

    In addition, the amount of RAM you have installed, it will take more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files.

  • I lose a hard drive space every day on my Windows 7 computer

    My computer is barely a month.  I only put on about 6 programs, all with small footprints.  I transferred to about 70 GB of files.  I know that the system uses the memory out of the box, but even with all that taken into account, that I can't take into account more than 40 GB of space and the amount increases every day.

    I was check and each day I lose a few GB of hard drive space.  Where's he going?  There is much info on Vista and some of its features that uses a hard disk space, I guess than some that apply to Windows 7.  But seriously, for example I lost 2GB between yesterday and today, and I have absolutely nothing to the computer.

    Clean temporary files and use Disk Cleanup to reclaim space.  But it is usually minimal and it does not take into account what I lose.  I have the system to restore all of the space to a fairly small percentage.  In summary, I think I have everything correct in order to minimize the use of hard drive, but the space is to be consumed at an alarming rate.  No virus, MSE is on the system and did not find a thing.

    Where the hell the space continues?  I am glad that I have a large hard drive, so there is move the room, but it's ridiculous to have disk space available endangered on its own.  I don't know that it's associated BONE.  Thoughts?

    JDiskReport:
