Pavilion N5415 notebook replacement hard drive

I have an older Pavilion N5415 Notebook and hard drive died. HP no longer wears the replacements I can order online. The old drive is an IBM & reg Travelstar 4200 RPM 10 GB, ATA/IDE, 2.5 "x 9.5 mm. I need to know what I can safely replace this drive with." I found one on amazon.com with the following specifications and I need to know if it will work:

  • Hitachi Travelstar 4 K 120 HTS421280H9AT00 80 GB portable hard drive
  • Buffer 8 MB spindle speed 80 GB storage capacity IDE UDMA/100 4200 RPM interface
  • 7.1 ms average latency average 11 ms read seek time format 2.5 inch 9.5 mm drive height factor

What other specs do I need to be concerned in addition to rpm and physical size?

Thank you!

32 GB is only a problem on some old computers... no need to worry. Once you have passed this barrier the next barrier is 137 gigs which does nothing more than 120 concerts can be used. I don't know the N5415 will be executed against this barrier. So whatever it is a disk of 120 Go up is ok and not better or worse than a smaller drive. Indeed, young readers tend to be older design, which means that they are running more hot and use more power.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t 3300: replacing hard drive SSD with the recovery DVD

    My Pavilion dv7t3300 has two hard drives... A SATA 500 GB of data and an SSD 128 GB containing the operating system and other programs.   The SSD drive that contains the operating system failed.  When I install the replacement SSD, I intend to use the HP System recovery DVD (2) which came with the unit.  If I load the recovery disks will be erase/format all my data-files in the 500 GB drive.

    The new drive is "naked".

    Thank you for your help

    I just remove the second disk while making the recovery operation and slap it in when the process is complete. Better safe than sorry. Theoretically, the recovery disks will not affect the second drive, but it's really easy to be sure that they will not be 100%.

  • Pavilion DV6-6135dx: Replace hard drive SSD

    Hi @sdlloyd,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    It's a great place to find answers and advice!

    You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the HP Guide's Forums:

    Learn how to post and much more.

    I understand that the original 640 GB hard drive has failed and you plan to install a SSD drive.

    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service of Guide. Please note Chapter 3, page 36, section 1, the recommended replacement disks.  You will notice the 160 GB SSD is recommended only if you have an Intel processor.

    When I checked it Pavilion dv6-6135dx Entertainment Notebook PC specifications , you have an AMD processor.

    Other drives may work, but as they are not tested, there is no guarantee that it would be.

    Here is a link to a post of @erico   Re: how to upgrade your laptop to a SATA 2.5 "SSD [new] which has helped other people install SSD drives for you to look over.

  • Pavilion 15: What replacement hard drive?

    Hello

    I need to replace the hard drive on laptop Pavilion 15 of my son. Can anyone recommend what to buy. I do not have a backup cd, so presumably I need to re - load windows etc. as well?

    Thank you very much

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    Media of 6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard drives in 9.5 mm (in.37) and 7.0 mm (.28 in.) thick (all hard drives use the same bracket)

    So this confirms accept the one I linked in the post above.

    Unfortunately, the removal of the hard drive is a little tricky. Start the p. 85 of the manual which shows how to remove the top cover.

    You can skip over the part on the withdrawal of the screen and go to p. 105 for the hard drive.

  • Pavilion 15z-ab100: replacement hard drive under warranty outside the country of purchase

    Hey everybody. I bought a laptop HP the HP online store in the United States in November 2015. I am currently in India and my laptop hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced. My laptop warranty is valid outside the country of purchase (USA)?

    Can I get the hard drive replaced under warranty in India, even if I bought the laptop in the United States? I read somewhere that the replacement of equipment under warranty can be done in the country of purchase. Is this true?

  • HP G56 Notebook: Replacement hard drive on a laptop G56

    The hard drive on my G56 died. "No HDD found", said currently, a 500 GB Sata 2. Can I put a 1 disc? There are a lot online that claim to work with this laptop. They are not formatted, and I know I have to buy windows again, but will I need to install the HP software also? In the affirmative. where can I find it?

    Thank you Gary

    You can put in a 1 TB drive. I recommend a model at 7200 RPM, something like this:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822145875

    Actually, you do not need to buy Windows again. Your laptop has an OEM license. Can you still read the key Code label inside the battery bay or at the bottom of the laptop?

    HP system software or drivers and utilities can be downloaded from this page. You may have the original recovery disks that the laptop has asked you to do when you first pulled it upward? If this is not the case, these discs can be ordered from HP, for much less than new windows.

    Please respond so we can provide additional assistance. Do you need directions or a video to replace the hard drive?

  • Pavilion Elite M9340f: Replacement hard drive

    Hard disk 750 MB Seagate (Baracuda 7200.11) is upward (lock or blue screen with one his jump).  Bought a new Seagate 1 TB (SATA) office drive to replace.  Recovery disks, format the new drive to 3/3 and then I get the error code 0 400 100 130000 1002 infamous x.  Says to contact HP.

    I think I need an OS disc.  However, I bought Vista with the machine but the OS disks have not been provided.  The software is on a patrician, on the failed drive, and I do not know the product key #.  Is there a way to save my OS or I have to buy new ones?  If Yes, I think I would upgrade to Windows 7.

    Hello

    If unallocated space is after the last partition and the last partition is the 'C' partition, then you can use disk management. If the last partition is HP tools or recovery then you can delete the partition by using Disk Management and then increase the size of the partition 'C '.

    BTW - VISTA does not support partition covering them.

  • Pavilion refurbished with replacement hard drive Win 8.1

    Happy with my 'new' renovated Pavilion that I received from Tigerdirect.

    But like all material, eventually the drive will fail.

    I have not received any disk with an operating system on it in case it is necessary for this occurrence.

    When missing how to make a copy of the Win 8.1 operating system that is on it now to get it up and running again?

    Thank you...

    All HP computers have a partition on your hard disk, book for a backup of the original windows supplied with recovery system.

    You can burn this image to a DVD or a USB flash drive.

    Please find below the guide to do from HPO.

  • HP Pavilion 17: mouse pad does not work after replacing hard drive

    Hello

    After replacing hard drive and installing windows 8.1, I can't use my mouse pad.

    I installed the Synaptics driver but it didn't help.

    How can I check that mousepad device is not damaged when replacing the hard drive and which also can I try to fix the mouse pad?

    USB mouse works fine.

    See you soon

    The only way to be sure is to open it up and see if the touchpad cable was disconnected during the upgrade of the hard drive. That's my bet. Easy to forget when you're winding. You don't provide complete model number, but many of the recent models Pavilion 17 require removal of the cover together to get hard disk that requires disconnection of the touchpad cable.

  • replacing hard drive HP pavilion dv7 needed mine failed and need a new.

    I have a pavilion dv7 4077cl Entertainment hard drive is faulty and all diagnoses say replace it.

    I can not find the same one (Toshiba MK6465gsx) what is compatible?  Help, please!  Thank you

    You can adapt any 2.5 "SATA HDD, just remove the old one from the caddy (if any) and, quite simply, a new. If you want news, then visit Amazon Toshiba 640 GB HDD because they have a list. I'm sure you could find a better and probably cheaper alternative if you google 2.5 "SATA hard drive. I adapted one of them in my HP and it's great: Seagate Momentus 750 GB I did have a problem because I did it.
