Hello

Thanks for the info... I just got the phone with HP tech support and they told me that I can't go to 500 GB x 2 = 1 to... I wanted to just make sure that I had all of the tech support that I needed. So I didn't spend my money for nothing. I also wanted to get other opinions... Thanks again for your responses. Best regards, Peter

I don't know what you said HP technology but you can check what is possible yourself:

This guide into a service for your laptop. It is said that 1 TB is possible and I believe.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 - 3188cl: HP Pavilion does not connect to Internet (resolved)

    I recently got a HP Pavillion Entertainment, model number dv7 - 3188cl, for me to use for a class at the school by my uncle. Before the recovery, everything worked perfectly well. My uncle asked me to reset the computer, so we used the recovery disks that wiped the hard drive successfully but then refuses to reinstall the operating system. Instead of getting another set of recovery disks that I've used a Windows 7 install disc to reinstall the OS and he did so successfully with one flaw, the laptop does not connect to the internet.

    I tried to connect via ethernet and it does not find my WiFi network. I suspect his lack a driver and checked for drivers on the HP site but he said that there is none. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and if there is no driver for this I would be grateful if you could tell me where to download from.

    Thanks in advance.

    Update: after some search Intel had the good driver needed.

  • Pavilion dv7-4285dx hard drive

    The hard drive on 2 years, Pavilion dv7-4285dx of my son is dead. It's a Samsung HM641JI, 640 GB, 5400 RPM. can anyone recommend a good replacement for this notebook drive? The new drive can we (GB) smaller than the original? Should I just stick with the same Samsung drive? Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.
    PS - I use the recovery discs just purchased from HP to restore the new drive.

    Hello

    You can use standard HDD from other providers. Nowadays people need more space, go for a larger HARD drive, it's a wise move. The recovery disc may not install on a smaller HARD disk because it will put your machine back to the factory settings.

    Use your P/N on hp pilot site and find the service manual and see what the cottage to OD it uses and you can then use to refer to what DVD player burner you can get. And if it's a Sata Drive more recent OD are sata you just have to make sure that it is a DVD burner and then swap the front to match the original.

    Hello

    Can I use an external hard drive from 1 to 2 to my laptop? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi @ptr1959w!

    Yes, you can use an external hard drive on your laptop - just connect via one of the USB ports on your machine, partition and format it in disk management, and you should be ready to go. Here is an article with the steps you can follow to do this:

  • Pavilion dv7-7064ea: Hard laptop computer reset deleted OS

    Hi all

    Yesterday I tried to use my laptop, how it froze and I had to force him to stop. After several vain attempts to put it on again, it gave me the error message that it held no boot device.

    Research on the HP site, I saw that they recommend a hard reset, which I did. However, now when I turn on the laptop he asks me to install an operating system.

    I have a repair disc, but I have no image system for my own laptop that I can use for the restoration (I backed up my files). I tried to use my brother's laptop system image (we have the same model), but my laptop it would not recognize external hard disk on which it is registered.

    Does anyone know how I could get my OS back without buying a new installation disc?

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Additional info in the case, it is relevant:

    Upgrade to Windows 7-summer 10 2015

    Have had no problems with Windows 10 so far

    Hello

    So you have a backup of your personal data, I wouldn't worry about retaining the existing partitions and just convert the reader into a guid partition table - recovery won't work anyway after a clean install, system will be replaced by efi and HP_TOOLS can only be downloaded again.

    If the existing HARD disk has a mbr partition style, you can convert this to a table of partition guid (gpt) as follows.

    Open an command prompt- Option 1

    Enter the following information, hit return after each entry.

    DiskPart

    list disk

    Assuming that there is only 1 HDD installed then enter

    Select disk 0

    clean

    convert a GPT

    When did the type exit and press to enter.

    Re-run the installation of Windows 10.

    Currently: HITACHI HTS543232L9A300 320 GB 5400 RPM SATA 2.5 "8 MB Cache internal Hard Drive

    You are the very welcome.

    You can buy a computer laptop 2.5 "SATA II HDD from anyone.

  • Pavilion dv7-2050sm: SSD and RAM upgrade questions

    Hello

    I have two question about upgrading my laptop. I use it for web surfing, movies, some excellent/word work etc... for the most part on a regular basis.

    (1) I have seen that my RAM can be upgraded to 8 GB. Currently, I am working at 1333 MHz 4RAM. If I buy 2 x 4 GB 1600 MHz will it work on this laptop, I went into the BIOS and have not seen that I can change the speed of ram anywhere nor has seen how much can this support for portable computers, so should I buy 1x4Go 1333 MHz instead if it only supports 1600 MHz.

    (2) can I put my disk HARD 700 GB Seagate 5400 RPM SATA II 3.0 Gbps with Samsung 850EVO 250 GB SSD? I know that SATA III drives are retro-compatible meaning can work on SATA II but is it useful, how much speed will I use if my laptop does not support SATA III.

    Laptop computer product number: B4E42EA

    Chipset: AMD A70M FCH

    CPU: Improved A6 4460 M to 4600 M A10

    Thank you!

    It will not run at 1600 mhz just so buy another 4 GB of DDR3-1333 memory. The SSD is the best upgrade you can do. Certainly worth. SSD SATA-III will work fine on a SATA-II bus. There is very little difference in actual operation.

  • Pavilion dv7, 1016nr: hard drive card on HP laptop Toshiba

    I had a HP used off craigslist, because my Toshiba laptop crashed. I replaced the hard drive with the Toshiba, but now, the CPU it's again a Toshiba! He's trying to look for records that do not exist, the bitrate is mixed up, and I can't do certain things because of this!

    The operating system was the Toshiba, and I don't know what specifications are contained in the hard disk. Help, please!

    I know, but the problem is the hard disk that came with it is FULL of viruses, and I don't want to connect two of them in the same device, or even that you use at all. I'm on an allowance now, so I can't exactly buy a new, can't use both at the same time, otherwise the laptop overheats.

    I could try using Malwarebytes on that hard drive and transfer files from the old and hopefully get Speedfan to find the fan that cools this thing.

    WoW! t helps a lot when you have something to talk about when things to know!

    I have that now to 1 question: what are the functions of the computer are stored in the hard drive?

    (also, is a sale "day of service", or am I just lucky?) (More ugly. Emoji. Never.))
