Pavilion G6t-2200: replacement for the hard drive g6t-2200 problem

Original hard drive failed completely. Have inserted 3 different drives in this laptop and BIOS doesn't recognise it, even a brand new 500 GB drive.

Any suggestions on how to get this pc to recognize a replacement disk would be appreciated. I buy HP recovery CD and they do not work on it because of this problem.

PS the pc was working fine until the original disc is dead so I suspect not the motherboard.

Hey @DaveTully,

See if the BIOS is set on and switch to whatever that is not defined on the secure boot or inheritance.

Here is a guide on how to do it: Computers HP - Secure Boot (Windows 8)

  • Question of replacement for the hard drive MacBook Pro Late 2008

    Hello

    My MBP HD headed to the exit so I'll take the plunge and get a replacement SSD to install it.  Being not too tech savvie I'm trying to cover all the bases before starting the replacement so I think I'm OK to get to the old and a new one outside.

    I read that a clean install of Mac OS X is recommended.  The plan is to install the new SSD and connect the old HD the MBP for a speaker for the migration of files once the SSD has been formatted and installed operating system.  One of my questions is what OS can / should I install in the first place on the new SSD.  I have the Leopard installation disc that came with the MBP, I also have a Snow Leopard install disc I bought (this is the version 10.6.3).  Start with the Snow Leopard disc or do I have to install Leopard first?  I would get the new OS SSD up to version I'm currently on (10.7.5).

    My other question is around RAM.  As part of the upgrade, I plan to replace and max of RAM, I've seen is now 8 GB between the two slots.  I read what the maximum capacity to 8 as part of an update of the firmware.  So the question is: should I do all updates of OS before installing the RAM?  The MBP would difficult treat 8GB if the firmware update is not installed through the different software updates that will be needed once the OS is installed on the SSD?

    Advice/suggestions appreciated.

    See you soon

    Replace the RAM can be done at any time. If you have already downloaded the firmware required, it has already updated your material and will not be lost when you replace the hard drive. However, according to Apple, your computer can manage only a 4 GB. I could be missing something...

    See here: MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) - technical data sheet

    As far as your OS issue, the best thing to do is get the updated software to match the information that you are migrating back (to make sure no problem with migration). The best way to do it, is to download recovery disk wizard and install it on an extra USB key. This allows you to install Lion without having to install Leopard or Snow Leopard first. This will also use disk utility to format the new SSD correctly.

    Hello, I put a new 1 TB HDD in my laptop of co-workers for her and comes to know there is no adapter on two hard disks to connect to the motherboard, where can I get one of these adapters? I saw a post not a few minutes ago, but he didn't say where I can get a.

    NO, I don't want the caddy, I mean the slip which connects the SATA plugs weird connections inside the bays 1 and 2.

    In addition, why in the world did you choose to use these connections owners, have you tried to set a new standard or something? Now, my co worker must wait for God knows how long it will take to get his laptop in working condition.  I'm so happy that I chose Custom build my personal computers.

  • Is it dangerous for the HARD drive, the icon she samples D:\?

    Is it dangerous for the HARD drive, the icon she samples D:\?
    .. The example of the start menu button is also in D:\. (Classic interface)

    I downloaded the 'old' Nice and exchanged icons on my desktop.
    The user, workstation, trash ones and two new folders using the icons for them also.

    The question is - I moved these new icon samples in D:\ (which is not the main drive) and I was wondering if the PIN that reads the HARD drive is physically mobile all the time on one side of the disc to another. Because the icons are located in the D:\... and these icons are defined on elements that are found in C:\, lol!

    so I was wondering If it damage the hard drive (physically)!

    Please answer, thank you!

    Hi Kaloyan,

    Keep the icons in the D drive or any other drive which is not the main drive does not affect the HARD drive somehow.
  • A temperature probe is really necessary for the replacement of the hard drive?

    I replaced the hard drive in my late 2009 iMac 21.5 ". In the OWC video, he calls for a probe. My hard drive is not one of the built-in ones. I was wondering if I really need or the computer will work fine without it?

    Well without it your HD fan will be clocked at high speed all the time. The good news is that you can also control the fans/temp via the software. Here is a free software that works very well. http://www.eidac.de/

  • The recovery disks do not work for the hard drive replaced in my Presario CQ4010F desktop PC

    Hi all

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ4010F Desktop PC (Windows 7 64-bit) in which the hard drive went bad. I bought a new hard drive which is a 1 to, the failed drive was 500 GB. So, I ordered disks system recovery, four in total. The disk labeled 'Use this first!' appear to be running fine, then prompted me to launch the next disc, which I assume is the 1 of 3 system recovery disk. With the computer, always, I inserted the CD 1 of 3 and have waited and watched as nothing has happened. I restarted the PC with the 3 disc 1 again and that will inspire nothing happened. Any help is appreciated in this matter.

    Hello:

    If you can't get the recovery disks to work (don't make sure that the keyboard, mouse and monitor are connected), then you can make your own windows 7 installation DVD and use that to at least get windows 7 installed and your PC back to the operation.

    Here's how.

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  • Replacement for 2nd hard drive

    My HP Pavilion Media Center m7790e has 2 hard drives, a main hard drive 320, and the 2nd drive hard 160 GB (Seagate ST316081 1AS SCSI) which I use to backup my My Documents folder and to store multimedia files TV.  My operating system is Vista Home Premium.  My problem is that the 2nd hard drive fills up very fast and I need more storage.  I'm unable to use an external hard drive that is due to the fact that my USB 2.0 ports cannot be upgraded to 3.0 and I think that the speed of USB 2.0 file transfer would be boring.  I considered a 640 GB pocket media drive, but HP said that a media player of Pocket would be no faster than an external hard drive connected via a USB 2.0 port.  I guess the drive hard internal speeds are much better.  I don't think I can add a 3rd hard drive so I plan to replace the 160 GB with a 500 GB hard drive or a disk more.  Appropriate recommendations would be appreciated.  If there are other mods I should improve file transfer speeds, I'm all ears.  Thanks in advance.

    Bill

    Sorry I have not responded earlier. There is a huge difference between a SATA connection and a SCSI connection. Unless you have installed a third-party interface card, I don't think that your computer has a SCSI connection.

    Your computer does not have a SATA III interface, but the reader must be compatible with your machine, similar to the way USB 3.0 interfaces are retro-compatible with 2.0 devices. They simply will work as fast as possible in the faster connection. But this does not mean that you should not throw the disc the fastest as you can in your computer. Unless there is a huge price for one of these drives premium, I would use them rather than paying for something with dated technology.

  • Pavilion dv6: I did now the hard drive on my HDD test failed and the pavilion dv6

    The problem is that my laptop when I start it it takes like 10-15 minutes to load.

    I see loading windows xp logo and then he is suspended for more then 10 minutes or more.

    Now, I tried to do a test for the material. I turn on the laptop and click the F2 key and I entered the test screen of hp hardware. I moved start test drive hard and after 5-10 seconds or if stopped with a test failure:

    That's what I see now on the screen of the laptop:

    Test Drive: 1

    INTELLIGENT control: PAST

    DST short: FAILURE

    FAILURE ID: 64WE1A-5BC7Q7-XD003F - 60Q 903

    PRODUCT ID: XE041EA #ABT

    Hard drive 1

    Edit:

    I tried now all the other tests in the F2 screen, and they all went except the short DST hard drive that has failed.

    Better to buy a new hard drive and replace it with this one and I install the new OS on it own?

    Test drive: FAILURE

    Does that mean ID failure? I need to replace with a new hard drive? If so can I buy a new hard drive and replace it only with myself?

    I did no other reviews but I want to first of all understand what it means to id of failure.

    Hello

    The hard drive is faulty defiantly and Yes should not replace. Failure ID is given, so if your laptop is under warranty you can give this to HP and it will then allow you the replacement

    Usually the instructions on how to replace the hard drive are in the manual of your computer that you will be able to get a copy on the HP site. You can also buy the HP installation media which will be operating system files on your for reinstall on the new hard drive.

    Yes, it will support a 500 GB or HDD Terrabyte 7200 RPM 2.5 inch SATA. Your installation can be transferred to a new larger drive using cloning. There are several programs that can do of CLonezilla (free) to pay software like Acronis True Image. Need you a SATA to usb adapter to hold the new player during the clone process.

  • Too big for the hard drive from the photo library

    My iMac has two internal drives - a hard drive of 250 in the solid state and a disk of 1 TB of data.  I am trying to import about 80 GB of photos. To be able to access on my other devices Apple iCloud, I know, they must be on the HARD DISK, but I don't have enough room due to the large number of iTunes files already there. Is there a solution to this? I wish I could share all my photos between the office, the iPhone and the iPad. Thank you.

    Launch of iPhoto, Aperture, or Photos with down option, create a library on the external hard drive, and if you use pictures, set it as the system library. The volume used to store the must be in Mac OS Extended format.

  • Pavilion DV6: Loud hum of the hard drive when burning CD

    Recently, I noticed that my laptop makes a fairly loud "buzzing" or "vibrant" sound. I encountered this problem recently when I tried to burn an audio CD. I've read about this problem on other forums of which most, explain that the cause could be due to the type of disc. I have this problem when I read from a disk. This problem could lead to the type of disc that I use?

    Hello:

    It has been my experience throughout my laptop and deskop PC DVD burners do the same racket when it burns CD / DVD, but not when it reads them as well.

    I don't think it's something to worry about.

    When burning a disc, a much more strain is placed on material that when reading a disc.

    I use Memorex or Verbatim quality disc too, and readers always sound as you said.

    One of the burners of my desktop PC is so loud, it begins to vibrate the case and I have to give him a rap on the side for the case of vibrate with the burner in the quiet.
