Mini 300-050np Pavilion: Pavilion Mini 300-50NP - Possible to install an SSD and keep the SATA?

Hello

Just for the sake of the argument, can this descktop take a second HD and have it be an SSD? Someone who knows more about PC that I do currently told me I should try this update but cannot find if it is possible to do in this one. I found an online on this subject but inconclusive discussion.

Photos online of open chassis, it seems that it has space to take a second drive with the original but I see not all ports to plug. There is a location empty on the set and I don't know what it is for...

Thanks in advance!

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-199sa: can I install more RAM and an SSD at the same time?

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion Notebook 15-p199sa I would like to be updated by installing an additional 8 GB of RAM and an SSD.

    I could do both at the same time, or it would be more advisable to do one at a time?

    Usually, I'd do one at a time, but take it apart the laptop and remove the motherboard are quite a job! I have a Ph D in breaking things and I know that if I take the laptop part twice then nothing good will come of it.

    I was considering also put the current HARD disk in the optical drive, but somewhere in the 20 pages of comments to this thread deals UK it is written the header on the motherboard for the DVD player is only SATA I - someone has a I experience to put a HDD in SATA optical drive? (or did someone knows if the header is really SATA I - the manual does not say).

    Otherwise, I could put the existing 1.5 TB of HARD drive in an external enclosure and connect it to a USB 3.0 port. The manual says to connect external drives to these ports is OK but it does not have all the features - would it be a good idea to use a powered USB 3.0 hub or a powered external case? (rather than using the bus power).

    Uh, that's all for now, I think

    Hello

    Nothing prevents you to do both at the same time. I have half a dozen old records HARD in USB 3.0, USB 2.0 external enclosures and they work fine. They work on all of my laptops and more comfort than those who have power supplies (much smaller than now).

    Kind regards.

  • Pavilion 500-281: where to install a SSD and the best way to get the operating system on it

    I have a Pavilion nine 500-281 with Win 7. I bouight a SSD 128 GB to load the operating system on it.  Where can I get inside the chassis? It seem not to be berries of classical records. It came with an adapter with the screw plate, but it's not obvious where I was able to ride the thing!

    In addition, can I just run a restore to get the OS on the SSD drive, once I have installed?  I received instructions with the SSD for ADATA software copy an image of the disk, but all I want is the operating system.  I'm dying to start using my new computer, but I think I want to get the reader installed first before you make any changes that he.

    Hello

    Review the #8 message in this thread.  Not all models of the 500 - 2xx Pavilion are provisioned for the SSD in the location as shown.  In the indicated installation, an adapter plate was not necessary.

    Most SSD manufacturers have free software migration.  I suggest that you image the entire HD, all partitions even hidden partitions.  Some of the more recent migration software will allow you to exclude your data records.

  • HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC: Possible to restore without CD and recovery drive?

    I have a HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC for sharing with my little cousin when he plays his games online. The space on the drive (C :) was almost released because of the many games that it has installed. As such, it has deleted the recovery disk (D :). However, now I need to reformat my computer as it is way too slow with all installed games. How can I proceed without a recovery or a recovery CD/DVD disk?

    Is it possible for me to buy a CD/DVD somewhere or download entire file recovery on a page online?

    Thank you and have a nice day ahead!

    Hello

    Thank you to write back, I do apologize to let you Kow that if the unit was purchased in the USA or at the Canada Shipping of CD would be the only country, the only thing I could think is to have the CD delivered to a person in the United States or the Canada that can send the CD in the country that you are. Other than that, I would recommend instead you to get a retail version of the operating system of any local store and install this file on your computer.

  • HP Pavilion A6500f - product KQ495AA-ABA-BIOHD 3 error-DVD and HDD as SATA 3 & 4

    BIOHD 3 error when diags are run.  BIOS sees DVD / HDD SATA 4/3.  DED/HDD plugged in Sata 2/1. Only 4 Sata ports but bios sees Sata 1-6.  If I plug the DVD/HDD in Sata 4/3, then Bios considers Sata 6/5.  Failed to get 1/2 Sata to see all readers.  Replacement battery Cmos and tried clearing Cmos.  No help.  Suspect the original hard drive is good but the new hard disk was even no problem starting.  For the hard drive setup disk does not start on DVD if new hard drive can not be put in place.  Can select HDD or dvd in startup path but still does not start on dvd or hard drive.  Any ideas?

    SATA 3/4 are correct.  1/2 SATA are reserved for IDE devices.  A bad DVD player has caused the problem.  He was apparently suspended the bus and prevents the system from the bootable device recognition.  A new DVD SATA enabled to start and so to reload the operating system.

  • 15-ab236nl Pavilion: Pavilion 15-ab236nl install an SSD

    Hello

    I am interested in buying this laptop

    Pavilion 15-ab236nl

    AFAIK, there is no option for a second HARD drive, so if I change the default HARD drive with an SSD in my choice would that work? (which means I'm able to reinstall Win10 etc..)

    or rather, if I had to buy a HARD drive for this model caddy, swap it with the DVD drive and install it with a SSD would that work? Do I need any special ribbon cable?

    There is no information about this exploit, so if anyone has any opinions or knowledge that would be great.

    I'm just asking if it is possible, not how, that would come later.

    Here are the applicable maintenance manual:

    Manual

    The first thing I want to emphasize is that this type of change, which probably will void the warranty. That said, it is possible to install an SSD, and according to the configuration you order, you can add a second hard drive in the slot of the WSSD m2 or the SATA connector, if she's not busy factory.

    You generally don't want to use the optical Bay for one SSD because the interface is slower than the main SATA bus and a player any connected as it will not be bootable, so you end up just with very expensive and paralyzed storage speed if you put an SSD in there. The best thing to do is to get out the mechanical hard drive spinner, put it in the optical Bay for storage and install an SSD. The m2 slot gave people fits, so I recommend you just work with SSD SATA 2.5 inch and not a m2.

  • Compare lines with the contractor ID and choose the line with Min Date rental

    Hello

    I have a scenario where I need a line with the Minimum of the Pavilion main 'p' Hire Date whenever there are multiple records with the same ID of the contractor. I need a SQL for this

    For example

    Contractor_ID name Hire_Date end_date Primary_Flag

    123 Tom 9/11/2011-9/11/2012

    123 Tom 9/12/2012-5/12/2012


    I need to score the first line of 'P '. It is an example where there are thousands of discs where I have to mark. Some cases it can be 3 or 4 files to contractor_id even where I need a 'P' flag for recording with Min Hire_Date


    Thank you

    Hello

    If you want to ensure that only 1 row by entrepreneur is marked "P", if the lines are the same, then I suggest you do something on the ROW_NUMBER analytic function, like this:

  • HP Mini 210: Palm Desktop (see 6.2.2) lost address book during and after the upgrade to Windows from December 10

    The problem is not with the HP Mini. This computer is running Windows 7 Starter and he Hotsyncs perfectly with my Tungsten C handheld. The problem is with a Dell Vostro, but because it is a problem of Palm, I hope you can help.

    My Dell Vostro has been upgraded to Windows 10 in September. I had a few problem get the Palm to synchronize at this time, but I thought her and successfully synched bases Memo, address and the Date of all the way up to 10 Windows update that Microsoft pushed around Christmas.

    The first Hot Sync attempt after the update given my address book disappear from desktop ONLY (running version 6.2.2) and I was not able to find a way to restore the address book on the desk.

    Handheld still works fine. As I said the HotSync with the HP Netbook (Windows 7 Starter Edition) and I would like to continue to use it as long as ITO still works.

    Try using the Import/Export built-in in Palm Desktop.

    On the PC that contains the data, go to File/Export (while the address book is open and being viewed).  This will produce a file that you can copy to the Dell PC.  Use a flash drive, Cloud Computing service, card SD - it doesn't matter.

    On the Dell, go to file/import and locate the file.

    Windows 10 has caused some 'quirks' to appear in Palm Desktop.  We learn that we will!

  • Pavilion Elite PHE 450 t PC: intermittent Desktop closed, noise from the video card fan.

    My office has developed a problem in which she stops 10-15 minutes after a cold start.

    I have a Pavilion Elite HPE 450 t running Windows 7 64.  I tried dusting and open the box, but it keeps happenings.

    In addition, my video card, an NVIDIA GeForce315 G 1 fan makes noise.

    I have 2 questions:

    1 ¿is this fan an item repairable, or I have to replace all?

    Can 2 how I check the power supply to see if it is not part of the problem?

    Is there there tensions I can measure to see if its OK?

    My query related to food, is that I run a couple of terabyte drives out of the office, and I wonder if I'm loading down the power.

    I would appreciate comments, suggestions, etc.  Thanks in advance.  Thank you folk being here to help that old man.

    Greetings,

    It seems to be a possible thermal problem with the graphics card fan.

    The fan on the graphics card work? Remove the side panel to check. Yes, you can remove the side panel while the system is turned on.

    Do not touch internal components. Just inspect.

    The Geforce 315 is a riser. I've never replaced graphics card fans, but I guess it's possible.

    A power failure is always a possibility.

    Eliminate food, the more reliable is to temporarily connect a good diet known to the system.

    The system was stable before the thermal emission of fan noise and possible? That should remove a power supply problem.

    You can replace the graphics card. Your PC has many options that were available for purchase.

    Please see here. Select "Options of material", then scroll down to 'Graphics '.

    See you soon!

  • Unable to install Win XP Pro on the Qosmio X 300

    Is it possible to install XP Pro on my Qosmio X 300.
    I tried to install it but now luck.

    I could format the HARD drive and then install or what I have to do something with the Bios.
    Frank

    Of course, you can install Win XP on this laptop.

    Can I ask you if you have already created a Toshiba Recovery DVD?
    I guess you laptop supports the recovery of HARD drive and no drives have been provided with this device.
    Before to format the HARD drive, you must create a recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

    Furthermore, I believe that you are not able to install XP because the SATA driver were not included in your Win XP operating system.
    Well, on some laptops you can disable the SATA AHCI in the BIOS and could spend in compatible mode. This would install the Win XP without a SATA driver.
    But this option is not available on all models of laptops. You need to check this first.

    Finally, I must say that this topic has been discussed a lot of time here in the forum. Maybe not specifically in the forum of Qosmio X but in the other forum and the SATA installation procedure is the same on all laptops.
    So look for a little

  • Pavilion 550-122nd: install an ssd in Pavilion 550-122nd

    I am installing an ssd in my computer (Pavilion 550-122nd).

    The chassis of the computer is not as I used to know, where you could fix with the screws on the side (HD) material.

    The hard drive in the 550-12 Pavilion is set on the bottom of the hard drive.

    The 2.5 "to 3.5" support for the ssd in the computer doesn't have the screw holes on the bottom of the support.

    Are special types of media for this? Or, how to install an ssd in the 550-122nd Pavilion?

    Thank you.

    Meribel

    Personally, I wouldn't worry on the screws.

    With a hard drive, these are important because they stop the car while it is in use.  But in an SSD, you have no moving parts, so there is no reason to immobilize.

    I have a tower PC running on an SSD and which is simply placed on top of a tray of disk - and works very well for months!

    Good luck

  • HP Pavilion 15 PC laptop: laptop won't boot up - stays on the black screen

    My computer was working fine and then all of a sudden the screen went black.  I turned the power on and it came up with the error message "Unmountable Boot Volume" and then tried to solve the problem but just stayed on the screen black and never solved the problem.  I turned it off, did the hard reset when I remove the battery and hold the power for 15 seconds, but it's always the same.

    I went into the mode where I can try to restore the computer but it does not allow me to do. They say it restores and then just black.   I also ran a report where it says that the problem is "short hard drive DST Check: failed ' and gave me a code of 0SNHWW-7N987K-MFPWMG-60WF03.

    If there is nothing that can be done to help me I would be really happy I have use this laptop for work and really need to get it back running of emergency with minimal cost.  Thanks a lot for your help

    @Amyynatalia,

    The pleasure is all mine!

    I'm afraid not, you will be asked to pay more for the replacement drive as its not covered by the warranty.

    Keep me posted!

  • Pavilion dv6 - 7095ca: no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key


    Thanks for your help and please excuse my bad English.
    Please check item 7, if you're in a hurry. This is the point with my Pavilion DV6 - 7095-CA:

    (1) the operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), the provided original with my 7095CA Pavilion, more updates HP until 2013, and all Windows updates until July 2015.

    (2) now I can't access the operating system and I have no interface UEFI. I can see that I press F2 at startup, just a test simple disk in BIOS f.0Une (the test shows that the disc is OK)

    (3) return in 2013 it took a drive failure. I did replace the disk and reinstall original Win7, all updates, including the HPS, win7 updates and all my personal software.

    (4) at this time, I bought a spare hard drive and did a complete copy of the disc using Partition Wizard bootable cd. The second disc has been tested and worked perfectly, with all of my personal software on this subject.

    So I have 2 HDs identical with the same system on both drives, fully working and tested.

    (5) a few days ago I came across the HP website and made a few updates, including the BIOS f.0Une (the last BIOS update, was of course).

    (6) after BIOS update ran, I received the message "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

    (7) I couldn't solve the problem, so I did remove the hard drive and install my backup drive, which lay in a dry place without danger from 2013.

    (8) I turned on the computer and got the same message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key", and I couldn't find any way to solve this problem.

    Now I'm doing a new installation on a third HD everything works very well, so far, in the new facility and I will never buy HP again.
