• HP Pavilion DV7 - 4183CL: what HARD drive can I install in a HP Pavilion DV7 - 4183CL?

  Hi all

  Realized that my DV7 - 4183CL has an empty HARD disk can you please suggest what tech HARD drive config do I add? Thanks in advance.

  It will take any hard disk 2.5 inch wide portable SATA. The real issue is the amount of space that you want to add, and what is your budget? The second hard drive is not bootable, so it's purely a place to store files. 500 GB drives are cheap and 500 gigs is a ton of space for music, photos, movies, even.

  You're going to need a second hard drive enclosure and the connector:

  Hi @LaurieJC ,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

  I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv7-4285dx Notebook and want to improve the hard. Here is a link to your service manual page 48 for Hard drive specifications. I checked on the possibility of installing 1 TB and it shows me if you keep to 1 TB 2.5 internal SSD SATA 6.0 GB/s • 555 MB/sec in reading, 500 MB/s write plug, you'll be fine.

  I hope that this address your concerns.

  Thank you.

• HP Pavilion t770.uk: SECOND HARD drive IS NOT SHOWING in DISK MANAGEMENT

  I fitted a new HDD in my desktop Pavilion PC second, and the device appears in the DEVICE MANAGER and the BIOS. However, the second HDD does not appear in DISK MANAGEMENT and so I can't initialize it or return a drive letter. The power and serial data cables are OK. I also tried a SMART scan to check the problem. A little SMART hard drive test should take about one minute, but after 10 minutes, it's still a test on the HARD drive. The drive is defective?

  It seems that the resolution has been set to a low value until the operating system executes the features of the screen and the graphics card.  The boxes on the anouncement screens are larger on low reslution settings.   Windows XP is not as alert as the Windows 7 operating system, but he eventually came around.

  I'm happy that everything is good now.

• HP Pavilion dv7-4269wm, no hard drive problem...

  HP Pavilion dv7-4269 with Toshiba MK7559GSXP 750 GB hard drive

  Windows 7 64 bit

  The SMART reports a hard drive failed when starting upwards.

  Failure ID: PQ817W-5LT65W-XD0141-60FP03

  Product ID: XZ028UA (#ABA)

  I get a failed drive, warning of the CHIP during the start up.

  I have little knowledge of the inner workings of my laptop. Comments on what type of hard drive I can use and/or any other suggestions for my problem would be greatly appreciated. O and please excessively it for me if possible... Thank you

  Hello

  The SMART error would certainly indicate the hard drive is faulty and should be replaced.  The first thing you can do is to back up all your personal files etc as soon as you can.

  The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  750 GB hard drive for laptop.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 53 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVDs to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - see the document here.

  If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

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

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

• Pavilion dv7-6143 cl hard drive

  Hello

  My lap top is 3 years old, and since I got it I had problems with the hard drive. HP replaced it last year, and it's broken again. I run the hard drive test, and it shows that the hd is full. It is not the case, because when I started in safe mode, he showed plant space. After that I booted up average reguar, power has been very slow, and when I tried to stop him, he is crushed. I just need a replacement, do not know what should I llok for. Can also use my recovery disk to download the drivers and the OS? The one I received from HP had all of the preloaded applications.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The following HARD disk is an example that would be perfect for your laptop.

  750 GB hard drive.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 64 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Your recovery disks will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They also recreate the original scores, including the recovery Partition - this procedure is detailed in the document of HP here.

  Kind regards

• Add the second hard drive for HP Pavilion dv7-3173nr

  So rumor is my DV7 may take a second hard drive.

  So I got a second drive, open the bottom where the reader will, and there is no SATA connector. Apparently I need a shopping cart or something, but I can't. Am I missing something obvious?
  
  Thank you.

  Yes you need a shopping cart and a connector. The interface is not a standard SATA plug... There is a cable that connects the SATA drive in a small plug in the second Bay.

• Second hard drive on my DV7-4083 cl

  I want to add a second hard drive for my DV7-4083 cl Pavilion. Anyone know where to get the caddy & cable?

  A third called newmode made a kit that is known to work with dv7-4000 series. Here is a link to the product:

  the correct caddy and cable

  NewMode has been around for many years and is a reliable supplier. The problem is that there are several combinations different caddy/cable for the various series dv7 and it is confusing.
