is there a slide in the hard drive for hp pavilion m8013w

I want to load windows 8.1 on my current hp pavilion m8013w but, don't want to erase Vista with all my data on the current hard drive.

So I think to install a hard drive "slide in" front loading slot and on the hard disk and then move all my data of visited.

Anyone know what I should do when shopping for a slide in the hard drive.  is there a model number?

Peace!

Isely, welcome to the forum.

Have you run the Wizard upgrade of Windows 8 to ensure that the components of the computer are compatible with Win 8.1?  It is available in the link I have provided.

I am not sure what you mean by a hard drive "slide in".  You hear a "Personal Media Drive"?  If so, I can't find one any where.

If the computer is compatible with Win 8.1, it would be easier to buy a SATA hard drive.  You can use the FREE copy of Aomei Partion Wizard to transfer your BONES and your data.  I downloaded it to see what it will do.  It seems to be a great program.  You should read all the 'tutorials' which are provided.

    Yes, you can reinstall Windows 7 OEM System Builder License on the new hard drive with the new processor.

    It will not be a problem in this case, since you don't "move" installation, you are doing a new installation. The less it will take is activation of the phone, as you change the hard drive:

    Hello

    How fast is fast is the real question.

    Have you looked at hybrid drives OCZ? Expensive but probably the fastest option.

    Seagate also made a hybrid hard drive.  Good price... You will need a 3.5 "to 2.5" support if the player does not support.  If you install the drive in an empty optical Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 2.5" support.

    Your other choice is 7 200 or 10 000 rpm traditional hard drives.

    Another option would be to add a PCI sata and two external hard dirves configured in RAID 0.

  • How much better the partition of the HARD drive for dual boot: Windows 8 and Linux

    Hello

    I am a newbie in Windows 8, linux, Partition...

    I want to use my new laptop with windows 8 pre-installed on the following:

    Create a Dual Boot Windows 8 / Ubuntu
    Create on my drive C (single disk on my laptop):

    * a partition for the system
    * one for Windows 8
    * one for data and
    least for Ubuntu OS

    My goal is:

    -to install VmWare on Windows 8 and run Splat Checkpoint with virtual machines to make the FCTC laboratories.

    to install GNS3 on Ubuntu for CCNP Labs but with GNS3 to access the files in the data partition

    I have a Toshiba Satellite with 750 GB and 8 GB of RAM.

    According to you, what is the best size for my scores?
    Is there a better way to partition my C drive on my goal?

    Best regards

    I don't know if this is the right section, sorry for that. Feel free to move this thread in the appropriate section *.

    I think the size of partitions depends of the you want to use and install other software.
    So if you have a lot of software which runs under the Windows System I recommend to choose a larger size to win 8 partition.

    However, given that you have a 750 GB HARD drive, you could take 200GB for Win 8, 100 GB to Linux and the rest of the HARD drive size, that you can use for data.

    By the way: I found Nice YouTube video how to create a dual boot using 8 Win and Linux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Yd2jK-7Jg

  • HP Pavilion 15-e073ca: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion e073ca 15 Notebook PC & Windows 10

    Hello!

    I intend to add an SSD in my two years 15-e073ca HP Pavilion Notebook PC. I found some sites that I can remove the optical drive and put a second drive using a caddy adapter in the optical drive Bay. I found that some people on the forum did it successfully, but nothing on my PC model. I want to know if he could work with my product.

    In other words, there is my plan:

    1 remove the real disk HDD hard bay and replace it with the new SSD.

    2. remove the optical drive and replace it with the adapter caddy containing my old HDD.

    3. do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD, using a recovery USB stick made with my system Windows 10 real (which has been updated from Windows 8.1).

    I plan to purchase the following parts:

    1 - a HDD / SSD cart adapter for HP Pavilion 15 (model OBHD9-SATA-SATA-BU9), of NewmodeUS (http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=583)

    2 - a SSD 128 GB (article SDSSDHP - 128G), SanDisk (http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/ultra-plus/?capacity=128gb)

    I have a few questions before I buy parts:

    1 - the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) are recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows, 10)? Is there a limit to a unique HARD/SSD disk drive on the computer?

    2 - the height of the SSD is 7mm, and it seems that my old HDD is 9.5 mm in height (model WDC WD10JPVT-60A1YT0). It would cause no problem (I need to add spacers)?

    3 - these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? You can expect any problems with this upgrade?

    4 - clean install Windows 10 quote, because I intend to install it on a different drive than the one I used to create the key USB recovery flash? I have never done a clean install of Windows before.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Haghe

    Your plan is perfect. The SSD to will of 7 mm that always come back fine it just will be lower in the caddy. The holes and SATA connections are in the same place as a hard drive of 9.5 mm. You can use a spacer (many SSD include one in the box) but not really necessary.

    Installing SSD for Windows 10 the way you expect is not really "own", that he will again introduce files and programs, in my opinion and certainly drivers. Whatever it is, it works perfectly and activates the old installation has been enabled.

    The hard disk in the optical adapter will not be bootable and will transfer the data a bit slower than a drive in the main compartment, but will still be usable for most cases. If you need fast input/output like Photoshop or video editing move the job file to the first SSD. Alternatively, you may wish to consider documents and photos and other migration on the HARD drive to keep the 128 GB SSD to fill. You can right-click on these files and select 'place' and move them. After the back if you need some help with that.

    Enjoy.

    Hello

    1. don't you make changes on the computer before the show?
    2. What is the accurate and complete error message that appears on the computer?
    3. How do you back up the hard drive?
    4. are you using Windows backup and restore, or you are using a third-party backup program?
    5. do you use windows backup and restore?

    Method 1:
    Clean boot the computer, and then try to save the contents of the hard drive and check:
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: After a repair, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the Knowledge Base article.

    Method 2:
    You can also try to disable antivirus and then try to backup. Follow the steps in this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Disable-antivirus-software

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 3:
    If the problem persists you can try running the disk check and check hard disk errors:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors
    Note: When you run the disk check, there is a risk of data loss, you can take a backup of the data on the drive before running the disk check

  • Replacing the hard drive for HP ENVY 14 laptop

    Hello

    I have a HP ENVY 14-1150ca Notebook PC with a SAMSUNG HM640JJ hard drive, Windows 7 service pack 1.  I ran diagnostics from the system at boot upward and got a "DST short": message failed.  Failure ID: RGDX02-5KC73T-XD6V4J-60RE03. Product ID: XG981UA #ABC.

    Can anyone suggest that a replacement of the hard disk that I can order, or something similar or somewhat larger is fine.

    Thank you

    Suzanne

    Only the hard drive model is a 640 GB drive.  I think that you can easily use a 750 GB drive with no problem, in my humble OPINION.  Depnding the merchant of your choice, Amazon - here are a few choice.  Or Newegg, HEREare good examples.

    I have a laptop L300 and the hard drive is about to give up.

    Yes, you can use the recovery disk to reinstall the system once more.
    The use of the recovery disc will set the laptop back to factory settings.

  • upgrade the hard drive on hp pavilion dv3500 series

    IAM using HP Pavilion DV3510nr, I want to spend my 1 TB HDD 2.5 "5400 RPM SATA Toshiba, is this possible?

    All responses will be appreciated. Thank you.

    SATA I (1.5 Gb/s) and SATA II (3 Gb/s) are backward compatible for the SATA standard. This means between the hard drive and chip set (motherboard) the transfer rate will be slower both SATA interface.

    Support of repair of hard drives of 500 GB from factory documents, but this does not mean that a 1 TB drive does not work. In my view, that a 1 TB drive will work. My biggest concern is the thickness of the hard drive. Will a 12.5 mm thick disc enters the DV3500 and slipped into the connector. I'm not sure. you'd be better of check you the current thickness of HARD drive and getting a hard drive 9.5 mm.

    It is an excellent hard drive; one of the best mechanical laptop from readers on the market. The mounting for the SSD material will also work with the HARD drive, you don't need anything in the way of shopping cart or cables. The hard drive and SSD are the same physical size with holes in the same place. However, this product is a "naked" drive, which means that it does not come with a software or additional hardware of any kind. You also need something like this:

    When you clone, choose resize "proportional". This will just make all the larger partitions in the same report. Passing a smaller on a player more large size is much easier that vice versa. Good luck.
