Pavilion A1700n HD

My hard drive went south, that I put a 250 GB drive in? and I can put XP pro instead of Vista?

You could put XP, he ran faster, BUT you will need to find drivers for your pc (this forum might help with that) and you need a xp disc.

  • Put the OS 64-bit of Windows 8 on a HP Pavilion a1700n

    I was curious to know if an HP Pavilion a1700n computer, model # RK572AA-ABA, could handle installation of OS 64-bit of Windows 8?  I thought I would ask the community to HP if someone knew if this type of computer would be able to manage the 64-bit Windows 8 operating system.  It uses the Windows 8 32-bit very well (this computer had Vista on it when I got it, and I've upgraded to Windows 7 and bought 8 when firstly, it came out and was still not expensive).

    You are the very welcome.

    All hardware on your PC is able to support a 64 bit OS.

  • Pavilion a1700n: expansion of SATA for Pavilion a1700n

    How can I add a SATA drive to my desktop? I opened the computer and tried to juggle the SATA drive in the Bay, but do not have enough access to fix the 4 small screws. I tried to open a SIDE PANEL for GREEN, who seemed to be locking drive Bay. After reading the Pg 17 of the guide, I will try to identify the open with a screwdriver. Next problem: I found a SATA connector spare but a single POWER cable which is already set on the HARD disk. Is there an another power cable? I'll keep looking, but it must also attach to the motherboard - where?   There is of course the strap connectors master slave, but these do not have SATA connectors. When I get the above with your help, is there any necessary reconfiguration or MS 7 automatically detects the new SATA? Can I use this 256 GB SATA as an extension of memory because I'm already maxed out at 6 GB?  Or am I recorded to use as a shadow to the top?

    Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    First of all - the motherboard SATA profits are found down in the lower image irght on THIS PAGE.

    second - the power connector can be a bit harder to find.  If there is no other power SATA cables, then maybe an adapter will help you.  If there is a spare Molex power connector, you will need an adapter SIMILAR TO THE.  If not, then maybe A SPLITTER would be an option.

    Third - SATA drives should not normally the master/slave settings.

    As long as the ordinary reader works, then the added disc must be considered as additional storage space.  Assuming that MS 7 means that Windows 7, then it should recognize the drive.  It may take formatted to be usable.

  • HP Pavilion a1700n: How can I connect 4 speakers to a HP Pavilion a1700n?

    Bought two new speakers for Christmas and I wanted to add 2 built speakers each side of my monitor Viewsonic LED. There are 6 taken in the rear and 1 single light green. So I hooked the new speakers to the rear Jack Black. But I can't get a set of speakers to work. I probably need to configure its 5/1. How can I do this?

    Sorry to bother the Forum, but I fiddled around and discovered that although my speakers have been connected on the adequate physical terminals (green and black), I had configured the software under MS Windows 10.  I turned away in fiddling around with a management sound REALTEK but eventually found MS Windows 10 management of its own system. In fact, I approached it my old devices in Control Panel, system, favorite. Once I had it set to 4 speakers multiple channels, all 4 speakers came to life. I provided a detailed explanation for a long time to help others with the same problem.

  • These ram cards will work with my hp pavilion a1700n PC

    I bought a set of ram cards and they do not work with my pc. I just want to make sure that these maps will work before I buy them my pc specs here is http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00820191 cards are off to ebay here http://www.ebay.com/itm/190687891922?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT & _trksid = p3984.m1438.l2649 #ht_2222wt_93... I think they will, but I just want to be sure they will thank you first.

    According to the specs, it seems that PNY memory referenced in your post should work. Your motherboard accepts up to 4 x 1 GB PC2-4200 or PC2-5300 240pin DIMM and the PNY DIMM are 2 x 1 GB PC2-5300, 240pin.

  • HP PAVILION a1700n, Windows Vista 64-bit

    When you try to download anything I get an error message that ends with, "require privilege is not held by the client."

    How to acquire the "privilege."

    If it comes to your computer, you should be an administrator.  If you have been assigned to a user by someone else and they don't have not listed you as an administrator, you should ask them to make you aware of administrator privileges.  If you were or are a Director, and still get this message, you must have a virus/spyware/adware or damaged files.  Run a check disk, full scan and possibly a file system check (enter sfc/scannow from the command run).

  • Add the second hard drive to a desktop Pc HP Pavilion P6-2100

    I want to add a second hard drive to a HP Pavilion A1700n Pc desktop to a new HP Pavilion P6-2100 Desktop Pc, so I can transfer files.

    milehisb,

    Welcome on the user forums.  Section manuals PDF from HP did not offer a guide to upgrade and Service.

    There are several options, depending on your needs and your expertise with the internal components of a computer.

    If you goal is to simply get the data off the drive, then put it back in the A1700n, I would use #1.

    (1) use this external adapter for occasional use:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002

    (2) first search to find if you have a spare Sata power plug. Or you will need an adapter (molex 4pin to Sata).

    As the player in question is VIsta, it does not start correctly and could delay the start of WIN7.

  • Reinstall the graphics card

    Hello.  I recently did a new install of my HP Pavilion a1700n, set up under a 64-bit OS to Win 8 instead of 8-32 victory - bit OS and I have a Nvidia Twin Frozr 560ti I try to reinstall it.  Problem is, every time I have connect my card and try to follow the instructions provided with the card to put upward, the graphics (artifacts I guess you could call them) are so bad that I can't see to install everything.  The only way I could communicate with the forums was to unplug my card power connectors and start-up in the embedded video.

    What should I do to get my reinstalled video card?

    Not yet got to the configuration screen of the bios with the installed graphics card yet, but I've been in the start menu screen and everything seemed normal. It's only when I go to start normally (or initially when I was trying to install the Win8 64-bit OS) everything seems "Helter Skelter." That's what leads me to believe it's related software. Right now I am running outside of the integrated graphics card.

    Update: I checked the card in the BIOS Setup screen and everything was fine.  I rebooted, intending to stop and follow your instructions.  Imagine my surprise when everything started upward to look great!  After the connection, I check the section of Control Panel programs and was again surprised when I noticed that the latest drivers for my video card have already set up and running.

    I would not be surprised since the upgrade to Windows 8.1 if the system had not noticed me trying to put up the map, and since I got Windows automatic updating turned on, I would not be surprised if the system is held and charged the appropriate drivers for me.

    Thanks for your help.  I'm this marking as a solution and you give a kudo for all your help.
