  Hello @laurencewithau,

  I understand that you are looking to upgrade the hard drive on your desktop computer, and I'd be happy to help you in this case!

  According to the Specifications of the product, you can update your system with any size of drive hard as much as it meets the following requirements:

  1. It has a SATA port connection
  2. The male power connector corresponds to the insertion on the replacement hard drive
  3. It is the same physical size as the previous hard disk. If it is less, you can always purchase a mounting bracket on the space difference.

  For more information about upgrading the hard drive, please take a look at this resource on installing or replacing a hard drive.

  Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your response!

• Pavilion DV6 2155dx: upgrade HARD drive to SSD

  I want to upgrade my laptop Hp HDD to the SSD. Very successful on the 2 HP desktops. But not a great success on the laptop. Windows does not start with the installed SSD. Black screen with how to text of amendments, but no solution. Checking the BIOS it seems too basic and has no provision to select the correct setting. How can I upgrade the laptop to recognise and start of the SSD, as desktop computers.

  Problem solved. Maybe this helps someone else.

  For reference, the SSD HARD drive migration has been completed with Samsung software tools.

  Although a similar migration was very successful on 2 offices of HP prior as the PC starts fine, this time the laptop set to level did not boot from SSD.

  Based on the reviews elsewhere on the web, with the portable operating from the original HARD disk, I adjusted the BIOS boot sequence to boot from the internal CD-ROM. I was then already migrated SSD HARD drive. Then I started from a prior agreement prepared the repair Windows 7 Bootable disc - now I know why they are so very precious! - and started to repair startup disk said. After a few additional steps miners, he says the problem fixed and carried out traditional, clean startups.

  Also, I can confirm that the Pavilion DV6 works very well with a 250 GB SSD. Most good, this is a speedster. There is therefore no limitations to 160 GB the HP Document seems to suggest.

• Restore the partition not used since upgrade hard drive

  Hello

  Several months ago, I replaced my 80 GB HDD with a 250 GB hard drive.  I used Apricorn upgrade kit to clone the drive, which, in hindsight, may have been a mistake.  I noticed that since installing the new drive, partition RECOVERY (D:\) does not seem to be used at all.  None of the files or directories of the partition have been affected since the day the hard drive has been installed.  Windows indicates that the restore points have been created with success since that time; I guess they are created on the primary partition (C:\).  The D: partition is 30 GB, 15 GB free.  It seems to me that with the current state of things, I have 15-30 GB of hard disk space lost for this partition.  Is it possible for me to get Windows to start correctly using this partition again?  If not, can I safely to reduce its size or eliminate it?  I guess I could store all my data and use the factory restore CD, but I want to save this as a last option resort, because it would be tedious to reinstall also all other software I have installed on this computer.  If someone could point me to a solution or even help me to understand what is happening, I would really appreciate it.

  Thank you.

• HP Pavilion dv7t 3300: replacing hard drive SSD with the recovery DVD

  My Pavilion dv7t3300 has two hard drives... A SATA 500 GB of data and an SSD 128 GB containing the operating system and other programs.   The SSD drive that contains the operating system failed.  When I install the replacement SSD, I intend to use the HP System recovery DVD (2) which came with the unit.  If I load the recovery disks will be erase/format all my data-files in the 500 GB drive.

  The new drive is "naked".

  Thank you for your help

  Tim

  I just remove the second disk while making the recovery operation and slap it in when the process is complete. Better safe than sorry. Theoretically, the recovery disks will not affect the second drive, but it's really easy to be sure that they will not be 100%.

• 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.

• Pavilion N5415 notebook replacement hard drive

  I have an older Pavilion N5415 Notebook and hard drive died. HP no longer wears the replacements I can order online. The old drive is an IBM & reg Travelstar 4200 RPM 10 GB, ATA/IDE, 2.5 "x 9.5 mm. I need to know what I can safely replace this drive with." I found one on amazon.com with the following specifications and I need to know if it will work:

  • Hitachi Travelstar 4 K 120 HTS421280H9AT00 80 GB portable hard drive
  • Buffer 8 MB spindle speed 80 GB storage capacity IDE UDMA/100 4200 RPM interface
  • 7.1 ms average latency average 11 ms read seek time format 2.5 inch 9.5 mm drive height factor

  What other specs do I need to be concerned in addition to rpm and physical size?

  Thank you!

  32 GB is only a problem on some old computers... no need to worry. Once you have passed this barrier the next barrier is 137 gigs which does nothing more than 120 concerts can be used. I don't know the N5415 will be executed against this barrier. So whatever it is a disk of 120 Go up is ok and not better or worse than a smaller drive. Indeed, young readers tend to be older design, which means that they are running more hot and use more power.

• The airport no longer recognizes my hard drive Seagate

  I have a macbook pro mid-2010 with the latest operating system. For months, I was able to access a Seagate hard drive via the airport. After attempting to import pictures into my library of photos on the external hard drive, the app won out, and suddenly he could not find the hard drive. My AirPort Utility application still showed the drive hard, but with a yellow "!" triangle and said she had lost its connection to the server. My wifi works, the airport still works. My hard drive works when I plug it into the USB port on my macbook, it just no longer works as part of the airport.

  Any suggestions?

  At this point, I would say that you do a ' default ' reset on your AirPort base station. Then set up again for the two goals of networking and to share the USB hard drive.

• I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive

  I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive because the drop-down list in the Disk Management Console does not give me this option. I'm logged in as an administrator and running Windows XP.  The driver for the new hardware is not digitally signed because I can't initialize the disk.  So I can't get my new hardware to run.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the option "Initialize disk" in the Disk Management Console?

  Hello Honduras1,

  Can you simply right-click and format everything first?  The drive must be formatted before use, make sure that you format NTFS.

  Hello

  Start Windows Explorer, and then see if there is a drive letter assigned for access to the
  drive. If this is not the case, check if the disc is shown in disk management.

  1. Open Computer Management by clicking on the button start , by clicking on Control Panel, system and security, clicking Administrative Tools and then double-click computer management. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  2. In the left pane, under storage, click Disk Management.

  If there has made a right click option - assign a drive letter for you can use Windows
  Explorer to copy files.

  I hope this helps.
