Pavilion M8530F Maximum hard drive recognized.

I am interested in buying a 3 or 4 TB Seagate hard drive, probably, that is the same model as the computer came with.  The computer will recognize the new hard drive?

I bought a WD 2 TB harddrive, which recently failed.  When I received it's new, the computer would not properly format the hard drive.  I had to plug in a removable drive and shaped this way.  Once it has been formatted I could then pile it on the HP computer and it works normally.  But reformats later will have to be done on the removable drive.

Computer was shipped with a hard drive of the Nvidia 750,2 G band.  So, that is the max, that will see the computer and the format successfully?

Thank you.

Hello

Yes, I tried 2 TB or less.  The M8530f is a not the UEFI bios so you won't be able to use a 3 TB to full capacity as boot drive.  You should be able to use it as a reader only hard data with few exceptions closely.

Take a look at this brief Hitachion the drives of 2 TB. Why Hitachi?  I have six Hitachi hard drives, ranging from 1.5 to 3.0 to.  Seagate did a good hard drive and I'm sure you can find similar technical information on the use of HDs that exceed 2 TB.

Drivers aren't going to solve a hardware faulty motherboard problem.

  • DC7700: Size maximum hard drive on HP DC7700?

    I recently upgraded to a 2 TB to 3 TB (after the death of the 2 TB).

    I also upgraded from Win7 for Windows 10 at the same time.

    A week later, the operating system won't start.  When I look at the disc (he jumped into another office) and it the disc seemed to only be formatted in ran 2 TB Seagates SeaTools.  It is passed all tests ok.

    Trying to get Win10 to do a repair of the car.  Failed.  Tried to update (save user settings)... failed.  Tried to wipe & re-install... also failed.

    I was wondering if there is a problem with the maximum size of hard drive in the BIOS.  Running 1.06 (the latest news of 2011?).

    I hope someone could shed some light on this?

    Thank you

    Hi, John:

    There are actually a few problems...

    1. you must not exceed 2 TB for a boot disk when your PC lacks a UEFI BIOS (which is not the dc7700).

    2. If the HARD drive is a SATA III (6.0 Gbps) by car, there is a very good chance he's one of the symptoms listed in this document from HP below...

    http://h20566.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.Oid=3718645&docid=emr_na-c02711513&lang=en&cc=us

    I had the same thing happen to me (the first question is in the document) on my dc7800 when I installed a new 500 GB WD Caviar Black HDD, SATA III HARD disk.

    W7 has worked for awhile and then the disc has not been recognized more.

    I assumed that the drive is defective, so I RMA'd it, and the other does exactly the same thing.

    I swapped the 500 GB of disk with a disk of 1 TB SATA III coming from my 8200 Elite CMT.  The 8200 Elite came from the factory with 1 TB HARD drive.  1 elite 8200 than TB HARD drive worked perfectly well in my dc7800 and the WD 500 GB drive has worked perfectly well in my 8200 Elite (which has a SATA III HARD disk controller).

    IMO, the unrecognized drive is because of this incompatibility problem described in the document of support.

    For more information on disks larger than 2 TB, read this white paper from HP below.

    You should be able to use the 3 TB, such as a data reader drive if you format to GPT, provided that the incompatibility problem does not exist when it is not be used as a startup disk.

    http://h20566.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.Oid=3459241&docid=emr_na-c02826744&docLocale=en_US

    Curiously, the dc7900 and 8000 Elite PC, I, do not have that issue with discs hard non - HP SATA III - even if their controllers are only SATA II as well.

  • HP Pavilion G6: replacement hard drive on hp pavilion g6

    Im trying to replace a hard drive on a HP pavilion G6 model number is G6 2239dx so I looked hard drives compatible with this model number that I did not buy directly from HP for a heavy sum. I found the other G6 drives with different model numbers, now I know that I certainly need the model number to order the Pack recovery but on the hard drive. It is somehow specific model number or can I use a hard drive from a 1B79dx of G6 G6 model number or any other g6 also. I'm new on this and do not want to buy something I can't use and have not been able to find clear information, I'm looking for. Any help is appreciated!

    Hello

    Basically you can use any standard laptop HARD drive. But please use Hitachi or Toshiba. HP machines use Toshiba HDD much. You don't need special HARD drive to your machine.

  • Pavilion p6-2330: hard drive for the error message failure

    I need to know what to do in response to: "short hard drive DST-Failed", failure ID: 60E3KV - 0007Q 9 - WPTXOK - 60QD03 on a desktop pavilion p6-2330.

    When the computer is turned on, it presents a loop; try to solve the problem, but unable to do so.

    The memory test is 'spent '.

    SMART hard disk check is 'passed '.

    Thank you.

    Hello.

    This 24 character of error codes when generated from the HARD drive test indicates a Smart failure or disk Self Test - in both cases, this means that the drive is defective and must be replaced.

    You always have access to the data stored on the disk? If you do, then save as much information as possible and look for a replacement drive. If the product is still under warranty, you can contact support, but in case you have no guarantee and you would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself – please let me know.

    I hope this helps and good luck!

  • Maximum hard drive on Portege M200

    I recently bought a Portege M200 on ebay and I think to install a new hard drive of 250 GB IDE.
    Y at - it a maximum size of hard drive for this model?

    Hello

    There is certainly a HARD drive size limitation the point is that the BIOS supports all HARD drive sizes and to be honest I don t think a 25GB HDD would go 0.
    I think it s all just too big

    Unfortunately, Toshiba doesn't provide details about the possible HARD drive s max
    I looked a bit of a found that the M200 was equipped with 60 GB HARD drive
    That's why an 80 or maybe a 100 GB HARD disk too should t be a problem

  • Pavilion 15-n211dx: Hp Pavilion 15-n211dx hard drive problems

    Hello

    Last March, I bought a Hp Pavilion n211dx-15 and 9 months after I bought it, I had some problems with the RAM because of my eletricity, but I already bought a new pair of ram sticks. I tried to do the system recovery Image minimized by myself because I didn't know it was a problem of ram, in the middle of the installation, the computer froze and the pixels have been going nuts. In any case, when I had the fixed ram, I started the computer and I saw that I had altogether 90 GB of HARD disk space (it comes with a 750 GB HARD drive), the windows installation is fine and all, but my HDD shows that 90GB total and the computer comes with a 750 GB HARD drive , I do not have what to do (if I have to install stuff and HARD drive drivers).

  • HP Pavilion 6653w "imminent hard drive failure! "Backup and replace. Questions.

    Hello, I have a HP Pavilion 6653w with Windows 7 Home Premium desktop computer.   It is 4 to 6 years old.  Recently, when I start it, I get a message "imminent hard disk failure!  Please save and replace as soon as possible."  I've never had to replace a hard drive before, so I have some questions:

    1 should. what type of disc do I replace - be of the same type that I have now?  (Hitachi, 1 TB).   Is there a list somewhere that shows which drives are not suitable for my computer?

    2 - is a mechanically inclined person (my husband) could do at home, or that it does not require a professional?  My husband has replaced a front memory card, we just request if it is similar to the one in trouble?

    Thank you!

    This link will take you to a document on the withdrawal and the replacement of a hard drive on a HP or Compaq desktop computer.  If it is not identical to your case, it will be a little similar.  The point is, that it is not terribly difficult; This is something you might be able to tackle yourself, or with a friend who has some experience with computers.

    I hope this helps.

  • Upgading A Pavilion Elite HPE hard drive

    First off let me thank the guy who responds to this advance. It may be a few days before I have the chance again. Sometimes the unknown Warrior keyboard deserves a bit more then they get lol. So, thank you.

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE. I just took my first slap to upgrade certain hardware and now I have a FEVER. I should have noted some things while I was there, but I was a little excited to get it working again. I noticed a few differences in my template to the list for the Pavilion Elite HPE, I found this site, but I should be able to answer your questions with a quick glance to see if it's right. HP presents my motherboard as "MS-7613 (lona-GL8E)" but I'm sure that my Board is a Foxconn version 1.01 Aloe with a 3.0 GHz AMD Phenom II x 4 processor.

    Then. Here's my question, can I put my 1 TB harddrive to two 2 TB drives? And you have any recommendations on which hard drive I use? I'm new at this and so I don't know I might miss information on this for you, but I think I can answer your questions on hard/software that I use.
