On replacing a HARD the T60p drive dead

G ' Day, friends!

I'm looking to replace the hard drive died on my T60p 2613ETU (specifications complete available here). Dead hard drive is a 100 GB 7200 RPM SATA 1.5, and I replace it with either the WD Scorpio Black 500 GB or Scorpio black 750 GB. Are there problems that I am likely to encounter? My machine will recognize SATA 3, or will I have to play with the horsemen, or something else?

Also, I'm thinking the RAM of the laptop expansion. I have 2 GB of memory installed, but as I understand it the Mobile Intel 945 PM Express chipset does not use more than 3 GB? Will, an another gigabyte installation, for a total of 3 GB, no problem for me?

Thank you so much everyone!

Welcome to the forum!

You'll be fine with any level (9.5mm/2.5') SATA laptop drive, some riders don't need, but your machine will always operate at speeds due to the chipset SATA 1.5 limitation.

And / 3GB (you need laptop RAM 667 Mhz PC2-5300) won't be a problem either.

Happy update.

    Yes you can. Here's the part you have to do with. Just remove the optical drive, add a hard disk in one of these adapters and replace it for the optical drive:

    https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

    You may also need to swap the façade of the old optical disc to make the installation of good look.

    I wouldn't use this for one SSD. An SSD belonged to the main disk space to enjoy the speed. The drive into the optical drive adapter will not be bootable and it will be not given quite as fast as the main hard drive transfer speeds. So if you have a drive in this card, a big (1 TB) and slow (5400 RPM) drive would be preferable. It will be purely for storage and it is still fast enough to see the video of for example but if you are doing video editing I would try not to edit videos from the optical drive Bay. Move them to the fastest reader first.

  • Windows 7 update installs the graphic driver badly.

    I have a Dell Optiplex desktop with a graphics chipset from Intel 4.  When windows performs an update, it replaces the last reference dell with (8.15.10.2869) driver that does not support the native resolution (1680 x 1050) of the monitor (Dell P2210).  I need to remove the driver and replace it with the dell driver.  What is strange, is that the dell driver is the same as that installed by the update from microsoft.  It's just that the option 1680 x 1050 does not appear in the version of microsoft.  I tried to disable the update, but microsoft is so vague in his descriptions of his updates I had a hard time finding change makes the graphics driver.  I'm tempted to turn off updates all together.  Any suggestions?

    When an update is displayed on the Windows Update page, in the right hand pane is "more information." Click on that and it will give you a pretty good indication of what the update is on. If it has something to do with the graphics, I hide the update and stick with the pilot of the manufacture.  I hope that helps you understand your problem.

  • My hard drive of the MBP is dead?

    The hard drive on my computer stopped booting upward.

    Apple MacBook Pro MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 with 500 GB HDD (spinning type)

    OS X 10.11.2

    I can't think of anything that might have caused to stop abruptly. My suspicion is that the drive is a disposable, I have two question.

    According to the following steps, do you think it's dead?

    When I turn on the MBP, I get the OS X Utilities menu with four options:

    1 Time Machine backup restore

    When I choose that option, my Time Machine backup is not found, even if it is connected.

    2 reinstall OS X

    The drive internal and attached external drives aren't options I am shown as available to reinstall OS X.

    3. get help online

    4. disk utility

    When I choose this option, all disks and partition are gray.

    I can't select the hard disk of the MBP to select repair or erase the internal drive.

    After that I did a SMC reset, disk utility not load disks I could see in #1 above.

    I also tried an OS X Recovery

    In this case recovery disk gives only one option for the installation of OS X Capitan and it's available HD (650 MB total, 121,9) recovery

    As mentioned above, I tried to reset the system management controller (SMC)

    The result was that I was once again see the OS X Utilities screen with four options

    Assuming that he died, would be the WD500LPCX of Western Digital 500 GB blue 7mm, SATA 6 GB/S 16 MB, I bought as a suitable replacement?

    I was able to get a disk utility to perform first aid, the results are in the attachment. Looks like I'm able to erase as well. So it might not be dead after all. No idea how to do this?

  • Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Nowsome keys on the keyboard no longer works.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

    Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Now some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

    Probably nothing, it's probably a fluke. Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM by iMac Intel SCM and reset the PRAM. If this does not work, try a USB keyboard to test, if it works then your original keyboard has failed and must be replaced.

  • HP Pavilion 15-p263nl: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion p263nl 15 Notebook PC & Windows 10

    Hi all!

    I intend to add an SSD for my HP Pavilion p263nl-15 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 USB key recovery made with my real Windows 10 system (which has been updated from Windows 8.1 July 2016).

    I already have a 120 GB OCZ SSD (OCZ Vertex 3).

    I have a few questions before buying the adapter:

    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 should. What size the card be? I found offers for 9.5 mm and 12.7 mm that are supposed to be suitable for HP Pavilion in general

    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.

    Alessandro

    p.s. in this section of the forum (where I took most of the post), the solution worked almost perfectly, but it's a different product of the Pavilion 15 ^^

    Hello

    1. Yes,

    2. your machines use 9.5 mm SATA Tray,

    3 problem? I can't answer this question because who knows nothing until the track.

    4. I don't know how you create USB recovery but a good new installation should work.

    Kind regards.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Replace a hard drive in dv6 but is not completed the installation phase

    I replaced my hard drive with a disks recommended by an expert from HP in this forum, and he seemed fine. After starting with my #1 recovery and loading of each disk when you are prompted, I got the final guest/message: "preparation of the recovery is complete. Remove the system recovery media. Once the computer is restarted, the installation of recovery process will begin... Support on continue restart the computer. "When I hit the"Continue"button, the screen went black as if it has been restarted. But instead, a black screen with the HP logo in the centre appeared, with the text: "Press ESC for Boot Menu" in white letters in the lower left corner. Waited about half an hour, and then you press the ESC key, but it changed nothing. Same screen HP. And that's all - nothing else has happened. I left it on all night, thinking perhaps that it takes time to get there, but in the morning, the same screen was there and my phone was hot as if in use. So I turned it off right there. What would not, and that I should try now?

    Turns out that I don't need to download the Microsoft Windows software and then struggle to find the right drivers, thank God. My recovery discs works perfectly after all.

    Having read tons and tons of forum posts about this problem, I finally found a solution that worked really - posted by another user, GoodTimes81 (thanks!). This solution is pasted below (with numbers and an additional note added by me):

    (1) put the recovery disk #1 in and

    (2) when the Recovery Manager screen loads, you will get a few options, but the one you want is the command prompt (which appears after you select "Run a computer check.")

    (3) in the command prompt, I typed bootrec.exe/fixmbr, you press on enter and waited it says the operation completed successfully.

    (4) I typed bootrec/fixboot and then you press on enter and again waited until he said the operation has completed successfully.

    (5) after having done that I left the command line, restarted my computer and waited until my recovery disk #1 loaded up again.

    (6) then, I chose the recovery system to the Recovery Manager screen and went through the process of insertion of disks 1 to 4.  When the 4th disc is complete, it says remove the recovery disc and press on continue, which I did, then it restarts, except that this time it restarted and actually started the installation and facilities it is supposed to do and has completed the recovery process.
    _________

    The other user said these steps solved the problem for her, and they could work for you. Finally, they worked for me, except after step 5, the recovery disk #1 would not load again. I received an error message (the black screen, white letters) mentioning a problem of location startup (sorry, that I did not write down exactly what he says). I pressed the button power to restart, but got the same error message.

    So I pressed the button to power again but this time, you press F11 repeatedly until I had a menu of options. The option to boot was F9, then I pressed F9 and selected "CD/DVD player" (which I had already done elsewhere earlier in the process, but maybe it had reset after entering the command request?) and then restarted again.

    This time, it worked, and I was back in step 6 above. Load the discs one at a time (note: I have 7 discs instead of the 4 mentioned by another user), and after that the disc was done and I got the prompt to "Press continued to restart", it restarted and he proceeded to load all the software, drivers, etc as it is supposed to. Yay!

    Hello rsmith3042000

    What kind of system do you have?

    Do you have an XP installation CD?

    Here are installation tutorials

    If you had only a recovery partition, it's lost now so you might contact the manufacturer and ask for the CD recovery.

    Open disk management, find the drive using the drive letter you want to use, change the drive letter of this to 'Z', find the new drive, change the drive letter that you want, and then change the drive letter of the drive you have labeled it 'Z' to a drive letter of your taste.
