Pavilion a1140n HARD drive replacement - help

Hello

250 GB (SATA) hard drive in my house crashed. I bought a replacement SATA HDD, but hit an obstacle in replacing the wrong drive.  I can remove a side panel to get to the screws holding the drive in place, but can not get the screw on the other side, as the Committee seems to be fixed permanently in place.

Clues as to how to proceed?  I have a good image backup and a new HARD drive, I can't just physically replace the drive.

Thank you

Bob

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive replacement

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC, and I had problems with hard disk of the guarantee period. for example I buy in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and 2012. Next time, he failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on average).

    The last time it failed, the warranty has expired so I thought to give it a try as employment through fixing/amortization of bad sector seagate software, Toshiba... that came out of Smart Drive Error.

    I use the HARD drive for some time now, but want to be ready for the next round and I don't know that he's going to be gone for good next time.

    Current HARD disk is 640 GB, 7200 RPM hard drive (replaced in 2012). HP 621046-001 manufacturer.

    When replacing, can I use ANY hard drive 640 GB? Can I use a hard drive that is higher than 640 GB? Different RPM?

    Any suggestions on hard drive?

    The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work properly. I had to use the first game I had created just after I bought the laptop.

    Thank you.

    I think that 160GB 2.5 "SATA III SSD is good for the system.

  • My Mac has crashed. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Suite?

    I bought my Macbook Pro 17 (it's a Mid-2009, running Cougar 10.8.4) used on eBay, and it came with Adobe Master Suite CS5. I pursued a degree in graphic design, and the computer had everything that I needed to start. Now that I'm out of College, I rely heavily on InDesign and Photoshop to get the job done. However, after five years of loyal service without problem, my Mac has crashed and I have never used time Machine. I might have to reinstall Mountain Lion or replace the hard drive. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Collection of applications? I can save them somehow?

    Any reply and help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time.

  • I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

    I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  • Helps to remove the HP Pavilion Desktop Hard Drive

    So recently I bought your desktop HP Pavilion from Best Buy a few months ago. Thing was running great until this morning, when the hard drive has suddenly decided to go belly and FRY on me. I called HP Support and they are sending me a free HD to replace the bad, but I need to remove and return them. No problem, I think I'll open the chassis out. Little I didn't know...

    I really don't know who designed this thing inside, but to reach the screws to remove the hard drive is almost impossible for someone like me who has no specialized tools. I got two of the screws, but the front rear one I can barely see and even less to reach, and I don't know there's a fourth that I can't even imagine reaching. I hope someone can give me something special or a detail that I'm missing that will make this possible, if not, I am at a loss how to proceed.

    Here is the info on the machine:

    HP Pavilion Media Center

    Product: KT334AA-ABA

    Model: m8530f

    If it is necessary, I'll post a picture of her womb. If anyone has any info that can help me to disassemble this beast, I would be eternally grateful!

    You must insert the personal media at the front of the computer player. Remove the front panel, remove the screws which fix the cage of the front's personal media players and pull the Green tab by dragging the cage in the front. You will then be able to easily remove the drive.

    Do not hesitate to call HP, they will be happy to help you with the installation of the replacement drive.

    "Application and driver Recovery DVD" are not a (hardware) boot media, you need an operating system to be installed first.

    OS install first, after that the drivers and applications.

  • Replacing HP Pavilion-e070sl hard drive with an ssd, how to re - install windows 8 64?

    Hello

    I recently buyed a Hp Pavilion-e070sl delivered pre-installed with W 8 64 and I need to know how the name of God how can I reinstall the operating system, since there was no installation dvd disc in the box? Or better (if we exclude the recovery manager and windows recovery disk), if somehow the hard drive does not work and I can't revive the laptop only by replacing one damaged by a new, how do I re - install the OS? And no, I want to order and pay twice.

    Any idea will be useful.

    Thanks in advance.

    You are the very welcome.

    Try to do the recovery with your old hard drive first media and see if it would work.

    If this isn't the case, then I guess you have nothing to lose to see if the English version of the W8 will be install and activate it, but I don't know if you can change the language.

    If you can, great.

    OK, then you will need to order a set of recovery disks.

    They need a product key to work.

    Here is the info on how to do this.

  • Replaced the hard drive, need help with drivers and utilities!

    Hello

    Yesterday, I replaced my old hard drive with a new WD, and I reinstalled Windows Vista.  Everything goes fine until I jumped in the utilities and drivers (Resource CD) supplied with the laptop.  I guess I thought that the CD all the work, would do to reinstall all the necessary drivers and utilities...  Now I'm stuck with a laptop computer that cannot connect to the internet, and the screen is too big.  I don't know there is more wrong with my laptop than meets the eye.  On the CD of drivers & utilities there the list of drivers and some of them have check marks, others do not.  I tried following some online course on which those who/what order to upload, but I don't even have some recommended drivers on the Dell.com site (specific to my Inpiron 1545 model)!  I know that I could download them immediately the site, but I don't even have wifi to do.

    In addition, I read the performance of a Dell Factory Image Restore and I tried it.  When I get the black screen with no option, I have to click on "Repair computer" but the option is not available either... I thought that maybe it would be an easy way to restore my laptop (readers and all) to the original settings.  Maybe the option is not there because my computer is practically empty, with nothing to restore? All I have on my laptop at the moment is Windows Vista 64 bits and drivers a couple that I don't know much.

    Bit of help and advice would be great.
