• Cannot physically remove the hard drive from the Pavilion dv4-1430us

  The disk hard origianal in this Pavilion dv4-1430us makes mechanical noises, so I will try to replace it with a new one.  I checked the owner's manual supplied with the dv4-1430us, and it gives these instructions (here condensed): 1) remove the power cord and disconnect the battery, 2) remove the hd plastic cover, 3) remove three screws of hard drive now the hd casing in place and 4) pull hard hd tab to the left then go out.

  The problems are: A) there is no hard drive to draw labels, and B) after you remove the three screws, can't do the hd if I push on it to move to the right or remove it from the left.  I don't want to use tools like screwdriver large flat blade or bars of little Crow because it seems like that would probably break something.  Does anyone know how to remove the hard drive of this particular model without breaking something?

  HaggisCat,

  Thanks for a very detailed and quick response.  It turns out the indications that I read in the manual, your statements and mine were all in line to exert a force on the hard drive in the direction indicated by the red arrow on your image.  (A picture is worth a thousand words and your supplied photo clarity that my summary of instructional text has not.)  I decided to take a picture of the entire hard drive in my dv4-1430us (see below) to show that there is no close tab Mylar pull, as there is on the photo you condition.   (The same gray metal tab that appears in your photo, but no mylar tab).

  

  Apparently my dv4-1430us had some differences at its Assembly of HD compared to yours.  As you can see, the structural elements that surround the HD are very similar to those of your photo, but there is no narrow mylar like in your photo tag.  There is a dark mylar or similar film plastic on top of my HD, and there is a triangle of silver color at the bottom right of this film that points in the same direction as your red arrow.  I tried lifting up the end of this film, mylar and pulling that direction (to the right in this picture), but a part of it (in the upper right corner of this photo) began to tear.  As the film seems to only be glued on the top edge of the caddy HD (also called frame or cage in some articles), I doubted that the show was strong enough to eliminate the stress of a closed winching.  A comrade who has put a video on YouTube showing this procedure also indicated that he had torn this layer of film when he first attempted to remove the HD.  Because I assume that the dark film has a purpose (static protection?)  I gave up shooting at the right edge of the film.

  However the consistency of the instructions in the manual, the instructions on this YouTube video and instructions in your answer on the direction in which the Assembly needed to move HD gave me the courage to put a force pushing the HD in the direction of your red arrow.  To do this, I placed the tip of a flat blade screwdriver large (blade about 5/16 "wide) at the points indicated at the ends of the two yellow arrows in my picture.  In these positions, the blade of screwdriver pushed against the HD box and not the hard drive itself.  Each of these two places, I gave him some very closed but controlled scrimmages, and HD finally moved in the direction of your red arrow as it is supposed to.  I then lifted all of the HD and replaced the HD without incident.

  The action drag the new HD in place was much easier that it was removing the original HD for the first time.  It was perhaps because of some hard rubber padding that has been placed on each side of the original HD assembly that makes for a very tight fit.

  I hope that this description is useful for others who do not have used mylar tab in their computers laptops dv4 and those whose HD assemblies are very tight in.  Thanks again for your quick response that gave me enough comfort to move forward.

• If I remove the hard drive from my Mac book will find my Mac still works

  One of my buddies and ME are supporting it because im trying to say that if you remove the hard drive of a Macbook, find my Mac no longer works, even if you get a new hard drive and connect it to the Internet. He said, that it only stops working if it is not connected to the internet, and I know it's true, but I want to know if my theory is correct,

  If you remove the HD there is nothing to identify your Mac then FindMyMac.

  To use FindMyMac the Mac must be connected to the internet and FindMyMac must be enabled in system preferences > iCloud. This requires Mac be signed in iCloud.

• remove the hard drive from the a1112n Pavilion

  I want to delete my old HP hard drive and replace it and need some guideance step by step to do. Any help would be appreciated.

  Again, it is another question.

  (1) If you do not rely on the maintenance of this machine, just pull the hard drive and it has to break.

  (2) If you just want to delete sensitive data, it becomes more delicate with a profane.  The best scenerio is delete the data files, then you transfer files small image and these will write in the previous blocks. Then you remove the small images and then randomly to download the same or slightly larger. Finally, you write too the blocks where the data has been written.

  (3) otherwise, move you all your photos, files, word, music and other data files to a USB key. Then reformat with the installation of WIndows XP CD set (these 11 cd I mentioned).

  (4) probably (as my friend pointed out this reading) you're a layman.  Any student would be probably able to help.

• HP personal media drive hp0000: remove the hard drive from the external area.

  My external hard drive does not work and I would like to remove the drive from the external hard drive case.  How to open the short cut through the plastic box?  I have other cases of emjpty for the hard drive.

  Access to the internal hard drive: methods and variants

  (1) open the support HP Pocket Drive is as simple as peel back label hardened plastic on the end of usb connection and to extract both little phillip screws hidden. Once the removed screws the drive carrier will slide on the front of the case and the hard drive can be easily replaced.

  (2) the same video

  (3) it is very easy to detach. With a small flat screwdriver take the label on the back cover. This will reveal the 2 small Phillips head screw. Remove them and gently pull the back cover. Then gently push all inside the well hard drive that forward into the aluminum housing. Careful not to push the reader through the case and on the floor.

• How to remove the password of BIOS on Satellite Pro M10

  Hi guys,.

  I searched all over the web to find an answer, but has no success. So I really hope one of you can help out me.

  I have a very old Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 with 512 MB in it. The laptop is protected by a BIOS password that I know. However, the problem is that I want to remove the password of BIOS completely. I know this isn't a big deal, but I find it annoying to type the BIOS password over and over again. Mostly because I am preparing this old lady for my oldest daughter. Furthermore, I just installed Windows 7 and it works well, but I have all the original software Toshiba, for example the HW configuration utility. I expect the download somewhere on the net, but unfortunately this is not as simple as that.

  Any help is appreciated!

  Thank you

  Jeroen

  Hey Buddy,

  It is easy to remove the BIOS password. Follow the instructions posted by Al - eX.
  As new password just enter anything and then the password is removed.

  I m wondering that you have installed Windows 7 on Satellite Pro M10. It is a very old book, and in my opinion Windows XP would be the best choice.
  In addition there are no downloads available for this model and Windows 7 on Toshiba page

• HARD drive external for Satellite Pro M10

  Hello!!

  I would buy an external USB HDD to my computer, but I don't know if I can buy anyone. USB 2.0 is not, but I think that only touch the speed of transfer, no?

  BIOS version 1.50

  I find this HARD disk, it'll work?

  Thnx

  Hello

  Satellite Pro M10 certainly has USB 2.0 ports, firewire, and IrDA interface. The operating system uses a standard USB Windows driver.
  I put t see any problems with the use of the external USB HDD.
  It should work.
  But in my opinion, you should buy an external USB HDD that supports an IrDA interface. It s much faster as a USB connection.

  However, the operating system must be able to handle the 250 GB external HARD drive

• How to remove the hard drive from Satellite 1730?

  I need to remove the HDD from 1730 Satellite laptop from a friend, someone he can advise that screws I have to delete it please?

  Thank you
  Gary

  Hi Gary,.

  on the new laptops, it's especially easy to remove the drive HARD, but on a Satellite 1730, it is quite difficult! A laptop is very sensitive and built up to complex, so maybe you could damage it something!

  In my opinion, we must open Notepad.
  In this case, it of necessary to carefully remove the covers, the keyboard and the screws that put him at the bottom of the unit.

• Remove the hard drive and optical drive on HP pavilion 500-164

  Hello

  I was eager to build a new computer and was hoping to use the hard drive and the optical drive from the Hp Pavilion 500-164 to reduce their costs. I'm confused as to how to remove the optical drive, because I removed the two screws on the left and don't know how to get to the other side as it wouldn't come out. When you remove the hard drive, the SATA cable wouldn't come off, so I stopped here and would like some advice on how to remove the hard drive from its Bay.

  Thank you

• missing hal.dll message after removing the hard drive

  Original title:Ok, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll. My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer?

  OK, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll. My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer? The reason why I ask, is that I physically removed the hard drive from the computer and then start the computer I get the same message hal.dll lack. Since the hard drive is not installed, the only place where this message comes's cmos or bios of the computer.
  I know it seems odd, but I couldn't believe it when I saw it after removing the hard drive. It used to be with older computers and Windows 95 or 98 when you took a hard drive that wasn't working and installed with one that works from a different computer, you could swap out and boot the computer and make a few changes to some drivers if you.

  So what is windows xp write to the memory cmos on my computer?

  > Ok, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll.

  The same as what? If you reference another thread, please include a link to it.

  > My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer?

  It is not write anything for her at all.

  > Lack of the reason why I ask this is that I physically removed the hard drive from the computer and then start the computer I get the same message hal.dll.

  I think that you're wrong. I would like to say two things happening:

  1. you have more than one hard drive and the problematic drive was not removed, or

  2. you deleted something other than a hard drive.

  Do you have a CD in your CD drive by chance?

  What is the brand and model of your PC? Are you able to get into the BIOS?
