New hard drive for HP Pavilion dv6 drive because of error messages 303 and 305

Hello

My laptop was getting slower and slower, so I did a restore default via the recovery partition, and when it restarts to start reformat and reinstall back to factory condition, I got a message on the screen telling me to run the hard drive test. Did it and got error 303 and 305 messages. Restore to preset works however, after doing research in the error codes I go account, I'm for a new hard drive.

My laptop is a HP Pavilion dvd6-3203TU with WIndows 7 Home Premium installed. It currently has a disk 320 GB TOSHIBA MK3265GSXX HDD in it.

After reading the forums, I am pleased to see that my recovery disks will be reinstalling everything on a new hard drive and partition a C: drive and also the recovery partition. The main issue I have is my new drive hard must it be 320 GB in size as the original or to buy something like a disk 500 GB + for the laptop. If I have to replace the hard drive that I can as will increase size while, if possible i.e..

It must also be a Toshiba or I can buy another brand?

Eager to help regarding this I thank you in advance as

Hello

Your laptop is listed as coming with a 320 GB hard drive, but you can install just as easily a 500 GB or 750 GB HARD drive if you want more space - readers at the following links are examples that would be perfect for your laptop - you are in no way limited to a particular manufacturer.

Hard drive 500 GB

750 GB hard drive.

The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 65 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  • How to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7

    Original title: window 7

    Hi can one tell me how to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7, I just brought Office 2016 and he did not finish the load down with the windows key 7.

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

  • When you back up my files to a new hard drive, getting the error "destination path too long".

    Hello

    Today I was backing up my files on a new hard drive that I bought a week ago, and during the copy, I received the message following 'destination path too long ".
    And the file name is actually short "crouch" here is a snap of the image:

    I don't know what to do!

    Original title: destination path too long?

    The key factor is not the name of the file itself, but the total length of the file name and the path of the folder.

    The help files for the application that you are using could tell you how long the total combination of the file-file may be [some more older can be limited to 255 characters, but I was not able to discover the current constraints].

  • HP Mini 110-3130NR and the new hard drive - how to create an image and use it?

    I want to replace the current hard drive to my HP Mini 110-3130NR of a new SSD.

    Ideally, I'd like to copy the disc hard integer on the SSD and then just swap hard disks (create a picture of the current hard drive work in the SSD).

    Otherwise, I have an external USB hard drive, so I could save the contents of the original hard drive and restore the image in the SSD. The problem is that HP Mini doesn't have a DVD player/burner, and I fear that it does not start via a USB device.

    Any help is welcome. Thank you.

    Respect!

    OK, all these programs did not help ast all, they still have some problems with SSDS (I tried an Intel X 25-M SSDSA2MH080G2K5 and an OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE120G).

    This is so the fix for the problem, all you need a 4 GB flash drive.

    In Windows XP, Vista or seven plug the flash drive into the computer, open a command window (type cmd in the search) and type:

    DiskPart

    In the window that opened type:

    list disk

    Find the number corresponding to your USB key and type the following commands, replacing X with the number corresponding to your flash drive:

    Select disk X
    clean
    create the primary partition
    Select partition 1
    assets
    format fs = NTFS
    Assign
    output

    Then insert a DVD Windows Seven of INTAL, open the command prompt and navigate to the "Startup" folder in the Windows 7 DVD.
    Starting inside this folder, run the command:

    Bootsect/nt60 W: - replacing the W with the letter assigned to your flash drive.

    After that, simply copy the entire contents of the Windows 7 Installation DVD to flash drive, drive to the computer with the newly installed SSD and start from the flahs player.

    Enjoy!

  • 10-FC06-0002 - HARD drive recovery disc error load XP and Windows 7 very well

    OK, so I have a Toshiba laptop I want to restore because I had used it for school and he had a lot of things about what I didn't need and turned slowly. Rather than take things one by one, I thought it would be better to start from scratch. I jumped in the recovery discs, I created, restarted the computer and booted from the DVD. I have chosen all the settings to restore the computer to out-of-the-box settings and a time window that says «copy files please wait...» "After that the screen disappeared after 10 minutes or so, another window flashes on the screen for a split second (has not yet the chance to see what it was) and then an error window pops up error 10-FC06-0002. The only thing I can do is shut down my computer, and it does not start after that. After trying several times, I decided to come here.

    I know what you say. "Before coming here, search or something, there are tons of problems like that here." Well, I'm looking, and all the results told me to "make a copy of your drive and see if it works, if not its your HARD drive ' tried to make an exact copy of the disk using a tool to copy DVD of Google, no dice. I tried copy the files from the disc on the desktop on disk, did not work. Copied files on an old thumb drive and booted from it. The same problem. Make one. ISO disk image and it has burned, triggered the error as well. No matter how I try to run the restore files, the same error message prevails. This would point to the hard drive being broken, correct? This is where I get lost, Windows XP installs flawlessly and works faster that any other computer I used it, as well as Windows 7 beta does.

    -------

    Does anyone know a fix to this error so I can restore my computer? Should I order new disks of recovery at Toshiba? How much do cost?

    -------

    I created these recovery disks about a week after the computer is turned on for the first time. The only software on the subject was the preloaded software, Mozilla Firefox, and MSN Messenger. These two programs would have caused corrupted recovery discs to bring?

    THANKS FOR ANY HELP IN ADVANCE! : D

    -----------

    EDIT: Should probably tell you some info on the laptop. It is a Toshiba A200 - AH6, try to restore Windows Vista recovery disks created in the Toshiba Recovery Manager.

    Hello!

    To me it sounds like it's your Toshiba Recovery disk is noisy or something else. It seems that the disc can't be read properly.
    I doubt that s a hardware issue because you tried a XP and Windows 7 disk successfully.
    But as Akuma says that this can happen also due a poor quality DVD media.

    In any case, I think you need to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.

    Finally and above all the software that you have installed (Firefox and MSN) didn t cause corrupted recovery disk. Theoretically, you can install what you want before you create the recovery disk. The recovery disk creator burning a disc bootable with the files in the folder HDDrecovery on the second partition. All programs that you have installed must be installed after recovery again.

    Good bye

  • USB ext hard drive keeps stalling, error message, and then re - appears

    the maxtor drive is sometimes considered, sometimes not.  This change while the pc is turned on.  I get different errors, not installed correctly, problem with hard drive 2.  I have recently upgraded to windows 7 vista teacher, the problem was the same in vista.

    Hello

    To me, this looks like a problem with your maxtor drive.

    Were you able to do a health check on it? It works on other computers (if you have others to try)

    Try to other usb ports on your computer.

    You have a cable extra-long usb, sometimes long usb cables can drop the unit.
    If not, maybe it could be a hardware problem with your usb port or the maxtor drive.

  • Pavilion a1710n impossible to enter the BIOS from the put in new hard drive

    I have a HP Pavilion a1710n desktop initially under Vista Home Premium.  Problem is hard disk came out, I then replaced with a hard drive Western Digital SATA of similar type.  However, now I am unable to enter BIOS using F10 or Escape or by pressing the F1 key turning on the PC.  When I tried to put Vista on the PC, it stopped and gave me an error 0 x 80070002; Lack of D:\Sources\Installation, which I do not know what it means exactly or how to fix it.  I had already updated the Vista Home Premium to Win7 Pro.  Given that the disc is a disc update of Win7, guess I'll have to reinstall Vista first and then update again to Win7 Pro?  At the moment everything I have on the PC is the new hard drive without any Windows operating system and my PC doesn't seem to be reading the new hard drive, I think, and in the Start Menu, it is shown as 3rd master drive and DVD is 2nd Master.  So what happened the 1st master?  No what should be my new hard drive?  I'm always so frustrated and of course, my PC is long out of warranty, although I tried calling support without much help I'm afraid.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello again patticat22,

    Thank you for responding to my message. If I understand your reference Bravo you check to see if you can find a solution? If and it would be better to search for accepted Solutions because they are used to indicate that a solution has been found, where a Bravo must indicate appreciate for a position.

    As for your question, I think it could be a drive for the failure of the installation that you have and recommend you order another set. I'm you provide a link to the HP Support document: looking for HP recovery discs or a USB HP recovery disk?, which has all the necessary steps to guide you through the ordering a new set of recovery disks. There may be a fee for ordering them, but I think this will solve your problem and get your computer back operational.

    So you can try to use the HP support document: removing and replacing the CMOS battery, that you want to remove the battery (keep out 24 hours before putting it again) and put it back. This should clear your BIOS and reset back to factory. If the BIOS is still inaccessible after that, I think it would be best if you contacted technical support HP for repair options.

    United States supports Contact link options HP products purchased in the United States.
    Outside WE support link to connect with options for HP products purchased outside the United States.

    Please re-post though I have well understood you or if you need additional support. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great weekend!

  • Desktop a6530f Pavilion, new hard drive and upgrade to Windows 7

    I have a desktop Pavilion a6530f with Vista.  My hard drive has been the production of errors, so I bought a new hard drive.  The original hard drive works pretty well as I should be able to create a recovery with a usb flash drive media.  I want to install the new hard drive (Seagate 1 TB SATA 3), and then install Windows 7 upgrade on the new drive.  Will be the ASUS M2N68 - LA / Narra3-GLBE motherboard supports SATA 3 (SATA 2 pilot courses)?  If Yes, where can I get the drivers?  Is there a Web page on the HP site for upgrade to Windows 7 on a new hard drive?  Or I just follow the guests after boot of the Windows 7 upgrade disc and enter the code of Vista product from the label on the side of the PC?

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion a6530f. Based on the specifications, this model shipped from the factory with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit installed. This model supports the use of disks SATA 3, however transfer speeds will be limited to the rates for the motherboard SATA 2. No special drivers are required. Seagate 1 TB SATA 3 drive should work fine on this computer, but you may have problems using your HP recovery discs if the new drive is a Format "Advance" AF drive.

    It is unlikely that you will be able to create a recovery media on a USB FlashDrive with this computer. In my view, that this model only supports the creation of recovery DVDs.

    You have a choice of a couple of paths when it comes to the installation of Windows on your computer with a new hard drive installed.

    (1) use your HP Vista recovery disks to install Vista... This may or may not work depending on the new hard drive installed. Then, upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade disc and the Windows 7 product key printed on the certificate of authenticity provided with the Windows 7 upgrade disk. (Note: the key of Vista with Windows 7 will not work)

    (2) If you don't mind losing the "value-added" software HP originally installed on the computer, you can install Windows 7 without using Vista installed first. Install Windows 7 using the upgrade disc and the Windows 7 product key printed on the certificate of authenticity provided with the Windows 7 upgrade disk. (Do not enter the key during the installation of the window) (Note: the key of Vista with Windows 7 will not work)

    In both cases just follow the prompts as needed. I suggest to use Windows 7 SP1, because it seems to be more compatible with the new material, including readers of the AF.

    Please see HP - upgrade to Windows 7 customer care using basic upgrade or install Windows 7. Please see HP Forum - how to install Windows 7 without the disc for useful information and download for Windows 7.

    If you are unable to restore the image by using the discs.

  • Need help with a new hard drive in pavillion wiring elite M9400

    Hello fellow owners HP,.

    I recently bought a 1 TB hard drive for my Pavilion Elite M9400T.  I done my share of reading about installing to a new hard drive to another former post office and know how to physically install the disk in the slot, but my question starts with the wiring.

    I have a M9400T and saw the video of the installation here in this post.  I read to the bottom when he talks about the installation of additional hard disks into the empty Bay and had questions about the son in photo 5 on the photo below. I realized that I needed a Sata cable, so I bought one today, but I wonder if I can use other cables inside the case already for power. And who will be all I have to do to get this properly installed disc? I took pictures so that it would be easier for me to ask for help.

    A and B belong to my main hard drive and I want to know if I can use D (unused but looks like B) and a Sata cable bought my 2nd hard drive. I also noticed that B is related to C, which leads to the motherboard, so I didn't know if I needed to do the same for the 2nd drive.

    Connectors SATA 1 and 6 are taken by my hard drive and DVD drive (I think) cannot so I just put my 2nd hard drive on one of the remaining of the caps of 2-5?

    Thanks in advance for any and all tips and suggestions.

    BTW, I I was able to install the sticks of memory 2x2gb today without any problems for a total of 6 GB today but no matter what slots? I added the 2 slots of the fan and it seems to work very well.

    SO, Yes, you can use power connector would be ' for your new hard drive.  If you look closely at the image of a ' and follow the Red wire, it runs directly on the white molex (P4) beside the PSU connector.  He doesn't have to go to the motherboard.  Is not feed all the other components.
