HP Pavilion ho23-056 23, touch: copy full hard on an external hard drive as a return to the top

I am currently running windows 8.1 x 64 bit, and I think the copy of my entire hard drive (consisting of readers of C & D using a total of 929.2 GB of space.  And wanting to get an external Western Digital hard drive with 1.5 TB of space.  I was led to believe that windows 8.1 has a utility called Image Back Up utility (located in the control panel).  I have also led to believe that this can be done completely by using a little bit of whole hard disk copy (programs, files, drivers, applications, utilities, etc.), but I can't well enough information on this operation. And there are still questions, like how can you transfer a copy to an external hard drive on the PC if it should crash completely? (I do have a set of five drive recovery that I did when I bought my PC, but still want an additional source of a backup system.)  I can not find the procedures for copying the copy from the disk external hard on the PC crashed and are best and safest ther programs out there to use instead of windows system Image backup utility?  I would like to add that I am a bit of an intermediate user, using a PC since windows 95. but there are obviously issues that I need to research before trying something that complicated and advanced.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

A description of the System Image backup can be found here.  If you want to C and D, I suggest a clone program. Seagate and WD have a wizard disk free program. With the cloning process, you use an external enclosure to the clone.  When disaster strikes, swap you the drives and continue. Personally, I make clones of my primary office every 30 to 45 days.

    Hi GloriaZF,

    What is the size of your external hard drive and what is the available free space? Open my computer-> right click on the external hard drive-> properties. You will not be able to copy more data if the disk is full, or who have less space compared to the size of the file you are trying to copy.

    You need to remove the order data to make the space more. Deleted data from the device USB will be permanently deleted and will not be stored in your Inbox, so take care while eliminating unnecessary data.

  • HP Pavilion PC 13-p120nr x 2 - Add hard drive

    Have a new PC HP Pavilion of the 13-p120nr x 2-4 GB of RAM (chip of DMM3 RAM 8 GB already on the way), with 64 GB SSD.

    Issues related to the:

    -Can I add a HD if it did not come with one initially? (slim model? or a SSD HD as with other models split X 2?)

    -True IF, what guidance for HP kit? (for the HD or HD SSD? Estimated costs for the HD, Kit, or both?

    -Kit drive HARD HP includes the hard drive, or is it just some kind of support for the reader?

    -Is simply an addition of 'plug and play' (by simply taking the back off, install the support and HD in him plugging in and pressing power WE?) Technically not incompetent, but not a nerd from unix/linux/.NET of power or the other.

    -(More stupid Q no doubt) addition HD works in parallel with the memory of the State solid 64 GB already installed? Or does it come to the top as a drive "E:" or "X:" or something else?

    Best regards to all, thank you in advance for reading and answers. See you soon! Bob W, Bristol, RI, USA.

    Geez - Noone has information about this X 2 things? Or is it noone has anything on this particular model (13-p120nr x 2 PC)? Anyone? Thoughts? (or less suggestions on where to find suite learn more?)

    Hello BobW-Bristol-Rl

    I understand that you are trying to update your 13-p120m x 2 HP Pavilion PC and deals with the requirements for adding a SSD HD or HARD drive? Here I quote the User Guide for your laptop "for the additional capacity or features, connect an external drive (sold separately), such as an optical drive or a hard disk, or insert a card directly from your phone or your camera.» This information has been retrieved from page 50 of your user manual.

    As well as the manual says to your laptop, it's that you cannot add a second internal hard drive, but you can add external references those. I myself have 2 drives external hard one that I use as a return to the top of the storage device and the other as another operating system on it.

    Now if you are looking to replace your current SSD, I found nothing which limit the size or who says that you can't switch the internal SSD flash disk. I am including the Guide of Installation SSD HP Upgrade Kit for you to look at and see if it is an option for you.

    One last note, if you are inexperienced in this kind of replacement I wouldn't recommend what to do yourself. Local computer repair shops may charge you to do, but you know it's done properly, and it is not as expensive as replacing the entire notebook.

    I hope I answered your questions and wish you good luck. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Full hard drive space

    I have an alert on my PC the drive backup is saved on the States don't have enough space.  I have two hard drives on my lap top is local disc(C:) qui a l'espace et l'autre est reprise (d), which is one that is almost out of space.)  I never saved before.  When you troubleshoot the alert on the space, I'm done support for the first time.  I'm trying to free up space by deleting unnecessary data, but I don't know how.  Do I need to save the data on this hard drive, if I already have the hard disk (C :).  If I just erase all this out, will I lose all my programs and files on my computer.  Sorry if this is a stupid question, I don't know anything about that kind of thing.

    Hello

    You do not have 2 hard drives, you have 2 partitions on the hard disk of 1.

    And you do not save backups on the recovery D: Partition

    Do not defragment the recovery partition, compress or save whatever it is him.

    In other words, don't touch not except for applications below...

    This recovery partition on your hard drive was photographed during the production for 2 reasons:

    1. to reinstall the operating system in the case of a system failure.

    2 to the recovery disc in the case of a hard disk failure, so that you can reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Ask the manufacturer, how to make them.

    Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them how to solve the problem, because it is their recovery on D: software.

    And your backups must be stored on DVDs or an external hard drive; External hard drive preferably.

    See you soon.

    Hello and welcome to the HP support forums.  Sorry to hear about hard drive failure.  Now for the bad news.  There is no driver support for windows 8.1 for your laptop.

    The laptop was produced with Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit edition not windows 8 or 8.1, so it's drivers did not support to your system unless you reload Windows 7.

    The official win7 ISO images can be downloaded here;

    You download the version installed on your HP, burn a dvd using ISO, software, the burning at the slowest speed, on quality discs, then install it using the Win Key on the label on your PC.

    You will then need to install specific drivers of HP, not of the preinstalled HP software will be at your disposal

  • Pavilion a6500f: can I use my old hard drive as a second drive to the new I install.

    I have a Pavilion a6500f I can access is no longer as he continues to tell me there are registry errors.  My recovery disk (I got a) or do a hard reset or else he will start.  It came with a window that says recovery system or start Windows normally.  I get a new hard drive to it and have a whole new Windows 7 installed.  The thing is that I don't want to lose all my stuff on the old hard drive.  So my question is can I install the OLD hard drive as a second drive to the new?  If I can then I can just copy all the files from the old drive to the new and use the old as a memory drive.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    The simple answer is Yes.

    (1) I would like to replace the hard drive with the same drive size or larger. But does not exceed 2 T.

    (2) I hope you made the original recovery DVD set the original recovery firstly, DVD media DVD + R try as these will save you having to create a driver disk.  If you really have to buy a complete set of recovery, get it here. It will have all the necessary drivers.  Only $27.00

    1. Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord.
    2. Move the jumper to clear for 5 to 10 seconds, then move the jumper to return by default.

    More quick possible:

    Intel Core i5-3317U (1.7 GHz, turbo up to 2.6 GHz 1 600 MHz/3 MB L3 cache, dual core, 17 W)

    You have:

    Intel Core i3-3217U (1.8 GHz, 1 600 MHz / 3 MB L3 cache, dual core, 17 W)

    The i3 you have is actually faster for most purposes than the i5, although the i5 has Turbo. I would not bother with this upgrade. It is the most difficult and expensive. The processor seems to be welded on so it would take a whole new motherboard, I'm sorry to say. At least try upgrading memory and SSD before committing to try upgrading the processor.

    Memory and hard drive:

    You can install up to 8 GB of RAM and you can install a reader mSATA. However, the memory and the mSATA drive slot are on the back side of motherboard and not easy to do. See Page 59 and transfer to the manual. In general, this model does not have an update very easily. You can replace the hard drive on a regular basis with an SSD without having to remove the motherboard, but it is still much harder than the mobile way. See pages 47-49.

  • How to return to the top or save a copy of my favorites in a file on my XP computer can read

    I used to make a backup or saved copy of my favorites with internet explorer on my XP computer and the result was an easy open list of all my links in order. Recently, I installed firefox and now I tried to do the same thing. I made a backup to my favorites and couldn't open the file initially. After some research, I was able to open the file with multiple programs, but all results were useless. I kept getting a document with tons of data from the far left to the right of the screen in any form or in a usable list. So, how can I get the backup or a copy saved in microsoft windows work (no word) processor like all my other Windows XP documents are in?

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Short DST check failure hard drive?

    I've had this laptop since around to last August and so far he has played normally without any problems. However, this morning the phone became unusable as it would freeze whenever I tried to open anything after the start. Because I could not activate McAfee security, which I do have but have had disabled for almost a month or two because he slowed a little games I rarely use all dangerous Web sites, I have activated the diagnostic system and quickly an error is found with the DST Hard Drive, with the UCWFXL error code - M 7, 7834 - MFPWL1 - 60VM03. I'm not entirely sure what this question means, but I clearly have to solve in order to make use of the laptop again. Since it is a problem of hard drive, this means the hard drive needs to be replaced? Don't assume that someone could tell me what measures should be considered now? Here are the tips from system, in case it is necessary;

    Hello

    Error code 24 characters confirm they failed short Self Test disk failure and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the problems you describe.

    As your laptop is less than a year, he should still under warranty, so contact HP and arrange for the replaced disk - if necessary, you can check the status of your warranty here.

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

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