HP pavilion dv7-4177 nr: crashed hard drive

I have extra need to read comments on the boards.  I understand that I must make a new hard drive.  Also read you can buy casing external hard disk and plug in another computer to see if you can make files that cannot be lost. It doesn't matter if connect you to a desktop as opposed to another laptop?  Also, I know once you replace the hard drive your software has disappeared.  I don't no laptop back.  Is there a way to get a recovery disk? I'll lose everything that has been preloaded when I bought the laptop as beats audio light scribe, assistant wireless hp, amd graphics card, etc.  I hope that I am clear.  I know that I can replace the drive myself.  I was wondering if I'll be able to back up all files.

Thank you

Thank you for your help.  I ordered the kit from recovery disc.  See what's happening.  In the future will save my files.  You never know.  Never had any problems with my computer hp laptop so far.  The only thing I replaced to the battery and the power cord.  It's good to know I can come and ask a question and get help.

  • HP pavilion dv7 4077cl need new hard drive

    I need a new hard drive for my laptop HP pavilion dv7 4077cl entertainment.  The old man is a Toshiba MK6465gsx.  What would be compatible?  Maybe more now I have 640 GB of storage like most.  Can someone help me?

    Hello

    Yes, the HARD drive become more fat and more (capacity), becomes also more small - actually thinner - (dimension) AND cheaper too. You can use more (once again - ability) HDD from reliable suppliers/manufacturers. 750 GB or 1 TB of a WD HARD drive would be a good start - please stay with the one who has more cache and fast (7200 rpm or more).

    My suggestion: replace it with a SSD and put a larger HARD drive on the second span.

    Kind regards.

  • Win7 won't start no-Pavilion dv7-6059eo-a the hard drive failed? Contact HP?

    Hello

    I have already experienced some minor problems with my HP laptop, as crashes and freezes and error startup. Now, yesterday I came home vacation and discovered that my PC did "feel well" when I used it. Sound had been delayed and delayed, processes and programs froze frequently, including the Task Manager. I decided to just restart and went for a shower, half an hour later when I came back to my PC it was trying to close the session, without success. I used the power button to shut down physically, and when I tried to start it up, I was allowed to choose whether to start the PC normally or in "safe mode", as expected. I started normally and it has frozen on the 'Starting Windows' screen, the animation wouldn't even start.

    I waited several minutes for Windows to start and, eventually, windows cursor appeared on the screen, but it was obviously the wrong resolution (much bigger (and wider than what is proportional) and fuzzier than normal), then I got a blue background (However, this was not blue, it was like a wallpaper) and the come command prompt thingy indicating exactly what :

    ECHO MBRInst returned %ERRORLEVEL% > C:\system.sav\logs\MBRINST. JOURNAL

    I leave the PC for half an hour, and when nothing happened, except at the prompt closing itself, I rebooted, it the same way as last time. This time when start I had to choose between 'start Windows normally' and 'Start Startup Repair (recommended) '. I chose the option recommended and expected (because I used to get these before the crash too). But ultimately the same black screen and the enormous-too-big-cursor appeared, then he went blue and then the command line came, stating the same message as I wrote above.

    It is, essentially, as far as I got with the PC after the evening of yesterday and today. I also noticed wave, repetative sounds coming from inside the PC, looks like a frog, very very small is trapped inside. I tried the F8 menu at startup and chose to start in "safe mode" but there is no difference.

    I would be totally grateful for help, because it was a ~ $1400 spent and I got it for a few months...

    Thank you for reading

    Hello

    Error 303 would indicate a hard drive failure - this is also compatible with the freezing issues you describe leading up to this event.

    Your best option isto contact HP and arrange for the hard drive replaced under warranty.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  • Pavilion dv7 2120 ev: SSD HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a 2120ev dv7 with 500 GB Serial ATA-150 - 5400 RPM laptop and I want to update to SSDS.

    Is this possible?

    If so, what SSD are compatible?  Could I use SSD SATA2 or SATA3?

    Thank you

    Yes, you can install a 2.5-inch SATA SSD instead of HARD drive. A simple procedure to install and many options of migration/copying of software. Your system is SATA 2, but the latest SATA 3 SSD will be "downclock" to work properly on your system and the speed increase is always amazing. Very little real difference in normal use between 2 SATA and SATA 3.

    You would find a SATA 2 SSD anyway and improvements are being made constantly so that you don't want an older SATA 2 SSD, unless somebody gave it to you. They also tend to be smaller that the cost of the SSDS off the charts not long ago. They are always on the expensive side but do it where everyone can and should have one. Get 250 and preferably at least one concert a concert 500 or 512, which now is about $150 on a good day.

    Post back if you need help most.

  • Pavilion dv7 4053 cl: Pavilion dv7 4053cl adding second hard drive

    I replaced with success the stock HDD in my laptop with an SSD.

    I want to continue to use the old HDD in the laptop well, and it seems that I have a second drive Bay HARD in which HARD drive can adapt. I have not, however, see a SATA connector on the motherboard for a second HDD connection.

    There is a SATA connector to the disk HARD primary (symbols of disc 1, marked on the plastic) and there are two connectors near the RAM, which seem not to be SATA, and my optical disc drive is connected.

    Am I missing something, or is there is no place on the motherboard to connect a second HARD (well, or SSD) via SATA drive?

  • Pavilion zv5000 - IDE adapter for HARD drive?

    I have a Pavilion zv5000 series portable whose hard drive died several years ago. My father sent him to a work friend, who understood that it was the HARD drive, and I guess that he threw the car with an adapter with it. I got an IDE drive, foolishly, assuming that the pins on the drive just fit into the connector on the laptop itself. After a lot of confusion as to why the player wouldn't be good, a research showed a card equipped with a regular at one end IDE connector and a connector similar to that on the laptop on the other. I ask if it is true that I need one, even if I do not otherwise so that it connects.

    Also, nines are isolated from the main pins on the drive. The old connector Molex had also four pins. These are the power pins, and the adapter address these too? It doesn't seem to be any other connector on the laptop. Once again, I want to just confirm this and no I have to not just buy the wrong thing for this laptop.

    Therefore the adapter that I'm looking for?

    Yes, I used to own a zv5000 and I can confirm there was a plastic connector black who went on the IDE brass pins on the hard drive to allow the connection to the motherboard.

  • Pavilion DV7-4177: 4177 Pavilion DV7 Error Codes?

    I have a Pavilion DV7 4177 that won't start, beep 15 times. The Caps Lock Led flashes 3 times in repetitive cycles. At HP I guess 3 led flashing documents indicate memory error, but what is sound? The screen stays black and there is no other message. I'd appreciate any help.

    Thank you.

    The most common cause of a computer beep when starting is a module.3 of cowards or bad memory flashes is also indicative of the loose or bad memory module. While is is not terribly common for both to fail at the same time, it happens. If it were my laptop I would try a new memory module-even one only if the budget is a problem.

    Hello:

    It is unlikely that you will be able to recover all the data, but you want to play $20 on it, you can buy a SATA hard disc to USB Office like this case and give it a try.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817182155

    Even for a non-techie, replacing a hard drive is quite simple.  Here is the link to the service manual.  See page 17 for procedures to remove and replace the hard drive.

    Then of course, you must read the procedures for opening the case so.

    If you feel confident that you can complete these tasks, then you are techie enough.

    Looking at the specs for your PC, you will need to buy a hard drive SATA II of 750Go. You can go as high as 1 TB, but do not exceed this size.
