Pavilion 15: What replacement hard drive?

Hello

I need to replace the hard drive on laptop Pavilion 15 of my son. Can anyone recommend what to buy. I do not have a backup cd, so presumably I need to re - load windows etc. as well?

Thank you very much

ADE

Here is the Service Manual:

Manual

Media of 6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard drives in 9.5 mm (in.37) and 7.0 mm (.28 in.) thick (all hard drives use the same bracket)

So this confirms accept the one I linked in the post above.

Unfortunately, the removal of the hard drive is a little tricky. Start the p. 85 of the manual which shows how to remove the top cover.

You can skip over the part on the withdrawal of the screen and go to p. 105 for the hard drive.

  • Pavilion N5415 notebook replacement hard drive

    I have an older Pavilion N5415 Notebook and hard drive died. HP no longer wears the replacements I can order online. The old drive is an IBM & reg Travelstar 4200 RPM 10 GB, ATA/IDE, 2.5 "x 9.5 mm. I need to know what I can safely replace this drive with." I found one on amazon.com with the following specifications and I need to know if it will work:

    • Hitachi Travelstar 4 K 120 HTS421280H9AT00 80 GB portable hard drive
    • Buffer 8 MB spindle speed 80 GB storage capacity IDE UDMA/100 4200 RPM interface
    • 7.1 ms average latency average 11 ms read seek time format 2.5 inch 9.5 mm drive height factor

    What other specs do I need to be concerned in addition to rpm and physical size?

    Thank you!

    32 GB is only a problem on some old computers... no need to worry. Once you have passed this barrier the next barrier is 137 gigs which does nothing more than 120 concerts can be used. I don't know the N5415 will be executed against this barrier. So whatever it is a disk of 120 Go up is ok and not better or worse than a smaller drive. Indeed, young readers tend to be older design, which means that they are running more hot and use more power.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t 3300: replacing hard drive SSD with the recovery DVD

    My Pavilion dv7t3300 has two hard drives... A SATA 500 GB of data and an SSD 128 GB containing the operating system and other programs.   The SSD drive that contains the operating system failed.  When I install the replacement SSD, I intend to use the HP System recovery DVD (2) which came with the unit.  If I load the recovery disks will be erase/format all my data-files in the 500 GB drive.

    The new drive is "naked".

    Thank you for your help

    Tim

    I just remove the second disk while making the recovery operation and slap it in when the process is complete. Better safe than sorry. Theoretically, the recovery disks will not affect the second drive, but it's really easy to be sure that they will not be 100%.

  • Pavilion DV6-6135dx: Replace hard drive SSD

    Unfortunately my old HD optical 640Go dies and I need to replace it.  I would use an SSD.  Can anyone give me a suggestion on a good option and if you did, how does it work?

    Hi @sdlloyd,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    It's a great place to find answers and advice!

    You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the HP Guide's Forums:

    Learn how to post and much more.

    I understand that the original 640 GB hard drive has failed and you plan to install a SSD drive.

    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service of Guide. Please note Chapter 3, page 36, section 1, the recommended replacement disks.  You will notice the 160 GB SSD is recommended only if you have an Intel processor.

    When I checked it Pavilion dv6-6135dx Entertainment Notebook PC specifications , you have an AMD processor.

    Other drives may work, but as they are not tested, there is no guarantee that it would be.

    Here is a link to a post of @erico   Re: how to upgrade your laptop to a SATA 2.5 "SSD [new] which has helped other people install SSD drives for you to look over.

    Please let me know what you decide and the outcome.

  • What replacement hard drives can be used by the HPE - 480 t?

    I have a HPE - 480 t who had 2 Seagate 750 GB hard drives (7200.12) in a Raid 0 configuration.  A hard drive has stopped working.  I need to replace the two hard drives.  I'd rather have enough space to put 1.3 TB of data on one disc so I could put the new disks in RAID 1 (mirror).

    I ordered and installed two Segate 2 TB disks (7200.14).  When I use Symaantec System Recovery to recover a point of well known recovery (*.v2i) OR when I do a hand of WIndows 7 install, I get the material errors.  After restarting the machine after doing a system recovery, Windows starts in safe mode hangs at classpnp.sys.  A hand of Windows 7 installation error "Windows cannot be installed on this material.

    Please let me know what I can use to get this machine running hard drives!  I'm desperate!

    Thank you!

    A usb key with a lot more capacity can not be recognized as an option to boot your PC.

    Consider using a smaller in the range of 4 to 8 GB to create a Windows Installer with the download USB\DVD tool.

    Unfortunately, your PC is one of few wthat is a simulator of BIOS, I can't access.

  • Pavilion 15z-ab100: replacement hard drive under warranty outside the country of purchase

    Hey everybody. I bought a laptop HP the HP online store in the United States in November 2015. I am currently in India and my laptop hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced. My laptop warranty is valid outside the country of purchase (USA)?

    Can I get the hard drive replaced under warranty in India, even if I bought the laptop in the United States? I read somewhere that the replacement of equipment under warranty can be done in the country of purchase. Is this true?

  • Pavilion Elite M9340f: Replacement hard drive

    Hard disk 750 MB Seagate (Baracuda 7200.11) is upward (lock or blue screen with one his jump).  Bought a new Seagate 1 TB (SATA) office drive to replace.  Recovery disks, format the new drive to 3/3 and then I get the error code 0 400 100 130000 1002 infamous x.  Says to contact HP.

    I think I need an OS disc.  However, I bought Vista with the machine but the OS disks have not been provided.  The software is on a patrician, on the failed drive, and I do not know the product key #.  Is there a way to save my OS or I have to buy new ones?  If Yes, I think I would upgrade to Windows 7.

    Hello

    If unallocated space is after the last partition and the last partition is the 'C' partition, then you can use disk management. If the last partition is HP tools or recovery then you can delete the partition by using Disk Management and then increase the size of the partition 'C '.

    BTW - VISTA does not support partition covering them.

  • Pavilion refurbished with replacement hard drive Win 8.1

    Happy with my 'new' renovated Pavilion that I received from Tigerdirect.

    But like all material, eventually the drive will fail.

    I have not received any disk with an operating system on it in case it is necessary for this occurrence.

    When missing how to make a copy of the Win 8.1 operating system that is on it now to get it up and running again?

    Thank you...

    All HP computers have a partition on your hard disk, book for a backup of the original windows supplied with recovery system.

    You can burn this image to a DVD or a USB flash drive.

    Please find below the guide to do from HPO.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See page 5-7 for the removal and replacement of the drive hard. It uses the old IDE PATA aka to hard disks that are becoming hard to find. Unfortunately, they are also stupid expensive:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=9SIA0AJ17B5685

    The least expensive is located at 4200 RPM 40 gig for $100. Above is a 60 GB 5400 RPM for $120. Frankly the laptop isn't worth much. I doubt that HP still has the recovery disc for him, but we can find a download of a version of Windows XP OEM and you should have a key Code for XP on it.

    If HP is defined recovery you can get to it here:
