• Pavilion dv7-6178us: SSD SATA dv7-6178us which is Compatible with my laptop?

  I have a Pavilion dv7-6178us laptop 'hand', and I would like to change the existing hard drive.  I understand that it came originally with a 750 GB SATA drive at 5400 RPM, but I inherited mine with only 100 GB SATA, OUCH!  I would like to upgrade my drive to a SSD for the best possible performance, and then add a larger disk for storage.  When you are looking for different drives, I came across SATA I, SATA II and SATA III and I can not figure out which is compatible with my computer or what he came originally with.

  Which SATA (I, II or III) is compatible with the dv7-6178us?

  What is the largest compatible SSD, or should I expect for the best performance?

  Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

  Which SATA (I, II or III) is compatible with the dv7-6178us? Specification the SATA is backward compatible. This means that disks SSD SATA type will work in your notebook. The SSD will be made only to the level of specification SATA your SATA controller is capable of. If the controiller is SATA150 so your SSD SATA600 installed work bandwidth SATA150.

  What is the largest compatible SSD, or should I expect for the best performance? , You can install one with the largest capacity you can afford.  I would recommend not to install a larger than 512 GB. My own brand preferences are Intel, OCZ Technology, Samsung and SSD Crucial.  Purchase of the SSD in upgrade kit is the simplest solution. Upgrade kits come with a SATA to USB cable and cloning software making it a fairly simple process to upgrade the laptop. See the post-it that I wrote at the top of the section of portable equipment for some details on this. 

  What is the greatest player I can additionally ADD the SSD for storage? I recommend you not to install any disk hard legacy with a capacity greater than 1 terabyte. There is no guarantee that a superior who will work as expected.

  The following information is the maintenance guide & computer Support laptop dv7 to refers to the physical size of existing hard drives.

  6.35 cm (2.5 in) drives supports hard drives to 12.7 mm (. 50 inches), 9.5 mm (. 37-in) and thicknesses of 7.0 mm (. 28 - in)

  NewEGG.com has some good reference on SSD upgrade kits and portable hard drives legacy price.

• Pavilion DV7-3060us: BIOS restore file "not a win32 application invalid" (Pavilion DV7)

  I have an intermittent (about 19 times out of 20) on a Pavilion DV7-3060us BIOS failure.  After that you press power, the fan and the light turns on, the screen remains black and lock/num lock flashing twice, pause, flash twice, etc..  Sometimes, the computer will boot normally to Win7.   Near as I can understand, I need to reflash the BIOS.  I downloaded the image file winflash/BIOS (SP47531.exe) the drivers and software page, but when I try to run it, I get a "...". not a Win32 valid request"message.

  Any advice on how to get this file to run it, or another method to solve the failure of startup issue, would be very much appreciated.

  So much worse... apparently the problem is I downloaded the file through Chrome.  Downloaded with IE on another machine, recorded on a USB key, it connected the USB on the machine of problem without difficulty.  Does not seem to have solved my problem starting, but the 'valid not a Win32 application' error has been resolved.

• DV7-6178us 2 TB hard

  Hello, I want to improve my dv7-6178us with a 2 TB drives.

  The service manual says that maximum size is 1 TB but sometimes this is not exact and portable can handle larger disks. Is this someone puts 2 TB in this laptop?
  
  Thanks in advance

  I don't think they have yet issued portable 2 TB disks which are 9.5 mm thick. If such an animal is available for purchase (2.5 inches width 9.5 mm thick SATA laptop hard drive) it will work on your laptop in the Bay secondary as long you have the right caddy/cable for this Bay.

• Satellite X 200 - 1AA - after recovery, I have the older version of BIOS?

  I've recently updated the BIOS of my Toshiba Satellite X 200 1AA with Windows Vista SP! After a few days, I did a product recovery using the recovery CD. When the recovery is performed, the BIOS back to the previous version?

  Hello!

  No, the BIOS don't go back to the previous version. The Toshiba Recovery disk contains factory settings of software on your laptop and not the BIOS. The BIOS has nothing to do with the software on your laptop.

  So Don t worry, the recovery disk doesn t touch the BIOS and you still have the new version.

  Good bye

  BIOS VERSION: f 26

  AS OF: 03/02/2013

  now what should I do?

  I do not know.

  I have only slipstreamed on a CD.

  I will say this however, you should be able to boot, XP has to load all the files and it should crash at the point where the dialog box indicates "Setup starts Windows.

  If you don't even get that far, something is wrong.

  Install XP using your XP installation CD and use a USB FDD and install the driver Intel Series 7 in this way. It's like I always do.

• Example: Pavilion dv7-4142eo: Bios can not find my new SSD

  I used http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/systemscanner and chose the SSD which should be usable in my laptop

  MX100 crucial SSD 512 GB 2.5 "7mm.

  I have used Acronis and saved my old system to a 3.5 500 GB that I put in an Icybox with esata.

  (Another method may be to use usb2 and clone the HDD of old to the SSD but with acronis and usb2, it would take 5 to 6 hours and so I have not tried this.)

  The Acronis cd boot I found the SSD and Esata and restored the backup of the old harddrive (from esata) for the SSD.  It seemed to work fine, but when I tried to start without the boot cd, I got the message "insert a boot disk".

  The I looked in the bios and could not find any hard disk (SSD).  Now, I'm out of ideas and hope for help here.

• After that my PC froze, then restarting one second BIOS has been activated, now I get the Message: this copy of Windows is not genuine.

  Hello

  My PC froze because of the power failure. A to stop by pressing the power button for 8 seconds.

  After I turn on the PC, I got a message that the BIOS has been altered.   Since I have a motherboard Gigabyte with dual BIOS, he turned off the second BIOS.

  After the PC is returned to the Windows desktop, the background changed to black with the text in the right corner:

  "Windows 7"

  'Build 7601'

  "This copy of Windows is not genuine."

  I know this is true because I buy a commercial version of Windows 7 Ultimate edition of Microsoft. I guess that Windows detects the second BIOS as a different system.

  I restarted the computer, then Windows activated by itself. Under the Control Panel, he showed that he was authentic.

  For two weeks and the "activate Windows now" are back. "Requires a change in hardware or driver will allow you to activate Windows again." "Click on the message to start activation."

  The context has changed to black with the text in the right corner:

  "Windows 7"

  'Build 7601'

  "This copy of Windows is not genuine."

  I try to type the key to packing, that it does not work.

  Any ideas?
