Pavilion dv7 - 3188c error on disk hard D 304

• Pavilion Dv7 - 3125sf BlueScreen and [disk hard Test failure]

  
  

  Hi James,

  I would run the DST short test on the hard drive again.  If it still does not respond, it is you say that there are areas of the drive that don't work anymore - that is to say that they cannot be written to or read.  From my experience, it is the beginning of the end for the HARD disk, because over time, areas more and more the reader will go the same way.  The speed and the magnitude of this decline is impossible to predict, but it will happen.  So to answer your question, I always install a new HARD drive, although as long as you do regular backups of your files - (make two backups so that if the drive has completely failed when refreshing a backup, you will always have the other is)-you can continue to use your existing drive until it becomes unusable.

  I hope this helps.

  Best wishes

• DV7-4280us - Bay of disk HARD 2nd vacuum has no visible connection to a 2nd HARD drive.

  My laptop Pavilion DV7 and previous DV8 had two bays for HARD drives, one of them wired to a hard drive, but not containing is not a hard disk at the time of purchase.  I expect the same thing when I ordered this Pavilion DV7-4280us, which is, I think, made in China, but I have not the same.  This one came without visible connectors for the hard drive, I had already bought to install into the empty Bay.  My Technical Support call made me advice to buy a disc kit hard (with caddy & connections) from HP, as if the receive connectors were available in the drive Bay HARD vacuum.  I didn't not agree because (and the next two paragraphs I added so that the well-intentioned forum members continue to give me the standard answer for laptops which actually have the usual connectors & waiting in the drive Bay HARD 2nd vacuum.  I appreciate the two forum members who have offered help so far, but there is no need to waste more based on my failure to clarify the problem):

  There is NO METAL NAKED INTO THE BAY VOID that COULD CONNECT a HARD disk.
        UNLESS A NEW CONNECTOR GOES TO THE MOTHERBOARD HARD DRIVE, IT IS USELESS FOR THIS COMPUTER.

  Each HARD drive connector I've seen only connects the HARD drive to a connector in the HARD drive Bay.
  

  The connector of the latter reaches the motherboard, and that the connector does not exist in this 2nd computer HARD disc Bay.
  

  Even if I could get a cable to connect a HARD drive to an unused connection & waiting on the M-Board, I can't M-Board.  M-Board is inside a barrier which could be called the bottom of the laptop - external surface of the portable computer.  (Battery and bays for HARD drives are outside the confines of the current computer, the value in their own hollow spaces in the bottom panel, with secondary coverage on the hollow spaces, i.e. the bays for HARD drives and storage media).  I looked for a way really open the casing and expose the M-Council connection for 2nd HARD drive (IF it exists); but I didn't know how to do it.  It is clear to me that this is not intended to be a facility run by the user. But I would if HP (or maybe even a 3rd party who made it) provided some good instructions.

  I'd like to think that HP did not make this change to the line DV7 laptops to double HARD drive, and that the Chinese manufacturer made the change without approval or even knowledge of the management of HP.  I want to believe that because he was, at best, a really stupid thing for HP to the customers who pay for the best HP can provide.

  So my questions are the following:

  1. The motherboard in this computer still has the ability to manage a 2nd hard drive?
  2. If 'NO', then HP would be willing to take over this very disappointing computer in Exchange to a DV7 which is equipped with HARD drive connectors available in the 2nd, empty, Bay?
  3. If 'YES', then
  4. HP or someone else would be willing to provide connectors, and instructions for me,
  5. OR install the missing connection to the drive for me, Bay
  6. While, in both cases 4 or 5, I can install a HARD drive in the Bay, empty 2nd drive reasonably, I expected when I ordered this computer?

  All my apologies and thanks to KaLin0908, who responded so quickly and helped me realize that my original description was not clear enough.  I hope that my changes to clarify the problem have not ruined the tone of my call.  I'm aiming for "clear and grateful."  If this revision reads as Loud or Yelling or abrasive or anything else bad, I'd appreciate any suggestions to improve it.

  I have the same computer.

  At first seems like you say but

  If you look carefully the second Bay of hd, you will see 4 small holes

  Those who are for the hard drive caddy, you can buy that and it's expensive

  You should also buy a hd cable, but be careful, there must be about 5 inches long

  The cable for 1 hard disk does not work

  One end goes on the hard drive and the other going to the MB. The connection is planned

  for the memory modules

  The kit costs about $ 45. If bought at hp and about 35 if purchased by another company

  http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?Main_Page=product_info&products_id=345

  This will give you an idea of where/how the screws connect to the caddy

  4. connect the hd to the caddy /ssd

  4. connect the housing inside the laptop

• Pavilion DV7 start error message - unable to start BTVSTACK. EXE, BTBIP. Missing DLL

• Pavilion dv7-4000 1 replacement of hard drives with more

  I have a dv7-4000 series double portable hard drive running windows 7 64 bit. One of the drives died and I am looking to buy a replacement and want to upgrade, but I'm not sure if I have 2 hard disks of different sizes.

  (1) can I replace factory bad HARD drive with a larger 320? (I'd then 1 factory 320 GB drive and 1 car again, more)

  (2) is the brand of the material of hard drive (Toshiba courses)?

  (3) are there any specific specs I should look for or avoid (ie. rpm, Gbps, etc.)?

  Hi wweksjk! : Yes, you can have 2 HD with different capacities for example on my PC of Xion MSI, which was built in 2006, I had 2 HD Western Digital, respectively 160 GB & 250 GB divided into 3 partitions

  the brand name is not as important as the number of turns faster the car turns your computer will be faster

  also look at the size of the buffer on the disk as well because the more it will speed up the boot time as well

  However install a new drive as boot drive will be complex, but if you follow the instructions that come with the HD installer it is possible

  for example, a 7200 RPM drive is faster than a 5400 RPM, but not as fast as a model k 10 or 15 k

  Good luck

  hope this helps to & help

  Happy holidays!

• I get an error "the disk hard virtual parent is in a saved state. Discard the saved state or stop the virtual machine and try again. "during the installation of XP mode.

  I have Win7 Pro SP1 x 64.  I downloaded WindowsXPMode_en - us.exe (from Microsoft downloads) and run it.  The installation seems to work OK (I've specified a different location for the parent virtual hard disk file).  Then, installation happening and I provide the information requested (name of user and password for the XP Mode), updates Windows and OK to the issue of sharing.  The installation program then reports the following error:

  The disk hard virtual parent is in a saved state.  Discard the saved state or stop the virtual machine and try again.

  I get the error even if I try manually configure XP Mode (use the Setup Wizard).  I downloaded the installer XPMode (3 times) and reinstalled several times, always with the same result.  If it helps, I can't locate anywhere .vsv file.

  Any idea what's going on?

• Pavilion dv7-1110eo: HP Pavilion dv7-1110eo error after update BIOS startup

  I've updated the BIOS (it is now Hewlett-Packard F.49) with a download from the HP Web site. I wish I had not done that because it's my portable patient. When start it freezes and the only thing that I see is black screen with HP logo. No button works.

  Later I discovered that BIOS itself is not the problem (I tried to get back the old version for a long time without success), it is the connected USB devices or USB ports, don't know. My laptop starts normally and works perfectly if I remove all plug-ins USB until I press the power button. After the black screen is passed I can plug the USB and they work too. I wonder if any of you ever faced this kind of problem...! If you have and you know how to solve this problem, please help. (Finnish HP customer service couldn't help me).

  Here's a full report of the problem (my blog):

• Black screen when I turn on the computer, press F1 and error message: disk hard imminent failure

  Original title: crash is immediate please help

  When I turn on my computer laptop black screen saying I have to press F1 to continue, it says after that... disk failure hard immenent what can I do besides spend more than 200. OO, I don't?

  Hello

  Chances are the hard drive failed, but it could be wiring or other materials.

  Check with the system manufacturer's support, their documentation online and ask in their forums
  (if any). Most have instructions to replace the hard drive.

  You can usually buy a hard drive for alternatives for less than $100,00 and maybe much less. Or the other
  get the same one or the same size.  System manufacturers usually several models if you
  the same can buy cheaper. And there will be others who are of the same size and type which
  can be used. Your local computer store can help select an appropriate player.

  Here is an example of how to replace the hard drive on some HP computers for example. Most
  other manufacturers are similar, and there are many generic examples on the internet.

• I HAVE A PAVILION DV7-1245DX WITH A BAD HARD DRIVE

  THE HARD DISK GOES WRONG IN MY COMPUTER I HAVE A NEW HARD DRIVE AND PUT IT IN THE DRIVE BAY HARD #2 CAN TRANSFER ALL THE STUFF FROM THE OLD HARD DRIVE TO THE NEW IN MY COMPUTER. Thank you

  If windows does not start, it will be more difficult to transfer files, windows still starts?

  If windows starts again, install Easeus Todo backup Free edition and 'clone' the old hard drive to the new, once this is done put the new drive cloned in Bay 1, it should now boot windows on the new drive. No need to transfer files if it works.

• HP Pavilion - assignments of ports for disk hard ext

  QUESTION: I have three external hard drives.  For several months, whenever I have connect a particular hard drive (via USB), this hard drive is assigned the same port/drive assignment every time, no matter which USB port it is plugged.  For example: the 200 GB h/d is always assigned drive K:, 300 Go is always assigned L: drive and the 750Go is always drive N:.  Note that I have plug that these discs hard (at different times) in the two USB ports on the Panel front of the office.  Recently, I plugged the 300 GB hard drive into a USB port on the Panel front of the office and he was assigned to the K: drive (when it is normally assigned to the L drive :).  This created a problem for two reasons: 1) my Creative Mediasource Organizer connects the PC music library to the L: drive and 2) my Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Encore DVD projects contain assets that are related to the L: drive.  I managed to set up this drive of 300 GB as drive l: yet once, by plugging in first (turn on) the 200 GB hard drive and then do the same for 300 GB hard drive.

  QUESTION: Is there a way to have my external drives assigned to specific ports/drives on my desktop, when they are turned on and connected?

• HP dv7 6b51ea: hp dv7 6b51ea, install second SSD hard drive HELP

  
  

  Yes, the cable's owner. HP recovery will not install the software from the factory to a 256 gigabytes as the SSD drive, you want to buy. I understand perfectly what you want to do and I try to help you to do so after doing it myself several times. In the hope of you help get through the common pitfalls.

  This is the cable you need on eBay UK:

  Now let's work on getting to the supported Windows 7 installation if you install it on your Virgin SSD. You are going to need some sort of media set as an external hard drive. We need to get the HDD 1 TB in the Bay of primary and get Windows 7 running on it. The HP recovery disk will work for this.

• Pavilion dv7 - 1128ca

  I have a Pavilion dv7 - 1128ca with a disc hard pooched (Yes, I have a backup. (O)). I want to know is that it will support a 1 TB, rather than the standard 500 GB harddrive.  As usual, I can't find anything that says that the max HD is supported on this device.

  Any info is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello:

  A 1 TB drive should work just fine as long as its thickness does not exceed 9.5 mm.

  HP offer disks up to 320 GB hard sata in this series model, so if a 320 GB drive will work, it will be all the others up to 1 TB.

• Recovery disk works does not after replacing hard drive Pavilion dv7

  Hello. I have problems of replacement of a failed hard drive in my HP Pavilion dv7-6154nr notebook running Windows 7. New HARD drive seems to install OK, but I get a Windows Boot Manager error when I try to run the recovery disks created when the system was purchased. The message says "the boot selection failed because a required device is not accessible" "status: Oxc000000f.
