Pavilion ZV6278EA hard drive carrier

Hi all

I got a HP Pavilion ZV6278EA laptop.

Now, it's using an IDE 100 GB 4200 RPM Seagate Momentus disc that is too small for my use, so I would change, but I don't know what the support of the note title.

I am looking for an IDE 320 GB 5200 RPM WD Caviar Blue. Will be - this recognition by the Pavilion? Do I have to upgrade the bios?

In the end, the battery will lose much too endurance?

Thank you all.

Samsung made records for the most part, OEM, I have no problem with them.

    They share the same part number?

    The C30 hdd carrier should work ok in the C20 as the C20 and C30 share the same mechanical chassis design.

  • HP Pavilion ZD7000 hard drive expandable to SSD? Compatible?

    I'm looking to upgrade a HP Pavilion ZD7000 (P/N: DN730AV) for Windows 7 Home Premium, including equipment upgrades memory to 2 GB of storage, and I would add an SSD.

    Two questions:

    Q: a solid state drive is not compatible to this brand and model of laptop?

    Q: If so, the BIOS would require upgrading to support the SSD drive?

    Thank you!

    There are several problems with you try to run Windows 7 on this 10 year old material. The video (nVidia Geforce FX5200 GB) card will not support Aero desktop effects and is known to be buggy in Windows 7 with all the drivers from nVidia available. Second, the hard drive is EIDE, not SATA, so there is no available AHCI mode. AHCI is the only way to get excellent performance of an SSD. There are EIDE SSD. And they do not provide a performance increase, but nothing like what you get with modern machines with native SATA (AHCI) support.  It can use 2 GB of RAM which is memory DDR333. It is a single core Pentium 4 processor, and frankly, there are many cell phones on the market with as much computing power.

    128 GB PATA (EIDE) SSD for $175

    64 GB for $80

    The problem with the SSD isn't the BIOS, but the basic material. Here is the service manual you'll need if you decide to go forward. The laptop is great and pretty easy to disassemble. It could be upgraded to a 3.4 ghz Pentium 4 very easily for a little money if you have a slower processor installed. This would to some extent.

  • HP Pavilion DV6345US hard drive upgrade, 160 GB 5400 RPM SATA 1.5 Gb/s

    Hello

    I need help on upgrading my hard drive on an HP Pavilion DV6345US.

    The hard drive is a 160 GB 5400 RPM SATA - 1, 5 Gbps.

    I would like to replace it with a drive of 500 GB - 7200 rpm or 500 GB - 5400 RPM.

    But I have read that HP Pavilion DV6499 or less may have difficulty using a 7200 RPM drive.

    That means that a 500 GB drive to 5400 RPM can be used,

    or is the limit of 320 GB 5400 RPM or less?

  • HP Pavilion dv6000 Hard Drive Upgrade

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6000 (Entertainment PC), it says on the box of dv6187ea (Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2 Ghz).

    It's the hard drive died for the second time, I need to replace it and I don't know if this laptop can take sata3. I am now looking to a few Mobile WD2500BEKX black WD 250 GB, SATA3 7200 RPM, 16 MB of Cache and the other has the same features except that it is SATA2.

    So first of all I would like to know if I can indeed use a sata3 or I am limited to sata2, and then what would you recommend as for 7200 rpm from 5400.

    Prices are all Similarly, in reality the 7200 RPM are cheaper, my need is representation only, the battery was almost dead since I bought it (all laptops suffer from it) so I always TI plugged running the kde desktop + many services, I want to say he works a lot.

    Thanks in advance, if I missed some information just make me know.

    Hello

    As mentioned above, you can use SATA III because it is backward compatible, just pay a little more. In short: you can use the two 3 SATA or SATA 2.

  • HP Pavilion dv9500 hard drive, speed + other problems

    I time it has mine HP had some problems

    I rebooted with installing windows 7 again.

    Then I get a lot of problems, it was the hd which gives the problem

    When I look at true hd, I saw that it is not the normal SD but SATA 7 connection

    I have two vertex 3 60 GB SSD and they go instead of hd perfectly.

    The problem is the connection to this SSD

    I have this good connector?

    This SSD will work with the HP Pavilion DV9500?

    This SSD is perhaps to fast for HP? Maximum transfer for hp is 1.5 Gb/s, I think

    How many MB is it?

    When I install Win7 with latest drivers.

    laptop processors work around 50-70% without any program is launched!

    I worked more then a week to find new drivers, why HP not with a program to update this driver is automated? The HP update works not at all, he said, everything is ok. But with a pilot programs, it finds more then 40 drivers unupdated!

    I see mine laptop with 2 GB of ram, startup, there are already 90% used.

    Is it not better to change the ram to 4 GB? because it's only $ 28

    What is the good ram?

    The DVD player can read compact optical disks but not read or write DVD.

    What can I do?

    Can I change the DVD player. Are their sold somewhere?

    You have a lot of questions here. Firstly, Yes, the connector of the drive hard eBay is the right and it will work on any SATA including SSD drive. I think the DV9500 and more it is SATA 2 (3 gb/s) interface, but it's not really important. A 60 GB SSD will not be enough space.

    HP does not have updates of driver for this machine for quite a while. I wouldn't too much stock in these update pilot programs that you download from the Internet. Indeed, they often contain spyware that could explain why you have high CPU utilization. If you can give me the exact model number or at least tell me if it is an AMD or Intel version we can get better drivers. The pilots of two wholesale to be aware of are the chipset and video drivers. If you have the AMD driver chipset nVidia processor must be specifically responsible. Windows it will not pick up. You definitely need at least 4 GB of RAM, and Yes, you use the DDR2-800 SO-DIMM. Also, you should install 64-bit Windows 7.

    This is a DVD burner. The façade can be a different color, but you can reverse your.

    Easy to replace. Just return the laptop and look for a screw in the center of the bottom panel. It will have an icon of disk beside him. Remove the screw and slide the drive.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook Hard drive question and OS reinstall

    I have a HP Pavilion dv4-2155dx Entertainment Notebook PC, series: CND0053PFN.

    I recently received an error message of the INTELLIGENT notification that a failure of the hard drive was imminent (I also had a flat battery as well, thank YOU HP!). I backed up my files to an external hard drive to COMPUSA, bought a new hard drive and installed. I inserted one of my computer come with recovery disks (HP or Best Buy made so I can't make new ones if I wanted to). After a minute or two of hearing the reader has read that I received an error "No Bootable disc - insert boot disk and press any key." Tried several times more. Reorganize the BIOS settings to make the drive to read first, no help.

    I then came here, looked at a few other discussions. They were no help. (this is a as http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-e-g/no-bootable-Device-Insert-Boot-Disk-and-... I watched)

    I tried most of the things on this page, including download of the boot disk utility, but even after the creation of this disc, I still get the "No Bootable disc - insert the startup disk, and then press any key" error. I then put the old hard drive new, and played music CDs to ensure that my drive was reading. It did not work properly. He also burned a disc as well so I think it's OK.

    I tried to make an iso image to the new disk plugged hard upward with a USB connection and this is where I met another problem. My laptop said that there are only 98 GB available on the new drive connected by USB. It is a 250 GB drive.

    What can I do to get just my copy of Windows on the new drive, so I can use my laptop without fear of a hard drive failure in the middle of a test for the College or something like that?

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    I can't help with the problem of recovery disk, but if you can read the product key 25 character Microsoft Windows on the bottom of your PC, you can do your own installation of W7 (DVD or a flashdrive bootable) media.

    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.

    Hello

    Your laptop is listed as coming with a 750 GB 5400 RPM hard drive, but you can replace this with a 750 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive for a little more performance - the reader on links below is an example that would be perfect for your laptop.

    750 GB hard drive.

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 52 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    Once this is done, simply use your recovery media to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - this is described in the document of HP here.

    If you do not have your recovery media, you can order a replacement set using the link below (I assumed the model No., you live in the United Kingdom).

    Order HP recovery disks.

  • Replacing HP Pavilion-e070sl hard drive with an ssd, how to re - install windows 8 64?

    Hello

    I recently buyed a Hp Pavilion-e070sl delivered pre-installed with W 8 64 and I need to know how the name of God how can I reinstall the operating system, since there was no installation dvd disc in the box? Or better (if we exclude the recovery manager and windows recovery disk), if somehow the hard drive does not work and I can't revive the laptop only by replacing one damaged by a new, how do I re - install the OS? And no, I want to order and pay twice.

    Any idea will be useful.

    Thanks in advance.

    You are the very welcome.

    Try to do the recovery with your old hard drive first media and see if it would work.

    If this isn't the case, then I guess you have nothing to lose to see if the English version of the W8 will be install and activate it, but I don't know if you can change the language.

    If you can, great.

  • Possible to move the Pavilion DV5 hard drive to the newer model?

    Hello.

    I have a little old (but LARGE) laptop - DV5 - 1133ca (FS036UA@ABC) that has intermittent problems with the display.

    It blinks and goes sometimes totally blank.  Then I plug in an external monitor and continue to work.  A few days later, he can work or not.  Fix sometimes repositioning the screen slightly with the hinges.  I'm sure it's some sort of cable inside or something.

    In any CASE - due to time and complexity with the upgrade to a new laptop (reloading programs, etc.) and the daily use of it - I was wondering if it was possible to buy a new laptop HP OR a model slightly more recent HP Pavilion (IE. Dv6 and DV7 with a little more power) and simply swap my hard drive.

    I understand that I would have probably to update many of the drivers - but in general would that work?

    Y at - it or the particular models that I should consider to mitigate any possible problems?

    Is this a good solution?

    Thank you for your help in advance.

  • Pavilion a6655f: hard drive or power supply problem?

    A few days ago, I was trying to low loading part of the steam.  My download speed is 30 kbs, obviously not good.

    I did some basic checks, malware, viruses, etc., but did not find any problem.  I did a diagnostic check and got a BIOHD-8 error code, which indicates a hard drive problem.  I decided to try to reset the computer back to the factory setting before changing the hard drive and once that I made and updated windows Vista for several hours, I restarted the diagnosis and he came clean.  Then I updated my software, including steam and a few games.  Downloads were fast and had no problems.  Later that night the computer started to shut down randomly, and I was unable to run any games.  Thinking it's maybe a power supply problem, I have replaced my graphics card with an elder who needs less energy.  I am able to run without any problems so far.  So, I'm looking for help in identifying my problem.  HDD problem, power supply, something else?  Any thoughts are appreciated.

    Hard to say without proper trials.

    You can use a hardware monitor HW Monitor to monitor tensions it is: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
    But there is no software that can test a power supply.

    You can get a tester of hardware like this too: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16899887005

    But there is really no of it will predict fails if the power supply, if you overloaded it, if its duration in time high, or if the power supply is a device of poor quality that can be subject to failure.

    You can also check that your power cable is comfortably installed on the computer and not frayed.  Try a different wall jack where there are fluctuations in power.

  • Helps to remove the HP Pavilion Desktop Hard Drive

    So recently I bought your desktop HP Pavilion from Best Buy a few months ago. Thing was running great until this morning, when the hard drive has suddenly decided to go belly and FRY on me. I called HP Support and they are sending me a free HD to replace the bad, but I need to remove and return them. No problem, I think I'll open the chassis out. Little I didn't know...

    I really don't know who designed this thing inside, but to reach the screws to remove the hard drive is almost impossible for someone like me who has no specialized tools. I got two of the screws, but the front rear one I can barely see and even less to reach, and I don't know there's a fourth that I can't even imagine reaching. I hope someone can give me something special or a detail that I'm missing that will make this possible, if not, I am at a loss how to proceed.

    Here is the info on the machine:

    You must insert the personal media at the front of the computer player. Remove the front panel, remove the screws which fix the cage of the front's personal media players and pull the Green tab by dragging the cage in the front. You will then be able to easily remove the drive.

    Do not hesitate to call HP, they will be happy to help you with the installation of the replacement drive.

  • The upgrade on Pavilion 9667ea hard drive to SSD

    I think the upgrade my computer laptop 9667ea Pavilion by replacing the first hard drive of 160 GB with an SSD, as the Cruicial M500 240 GB SATA 111, or similar.

    Could you tell me if there are problems in doing this, because I see no other posted messages it may be according to the model of your laptop?

    I advanced and bought the SSD (Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB), which has been installed on the HP Pavilion dv9667ea. Everything went well and I used the Samsung software cloning with the SSD drive (I backed up the C drive beforehand). I have power and data cables, so I need just the package base. The new 250 GB SSD drive replaces the original 160 GB hard drive, I decided to take out the other drive so hard 160 GB. The laptop is much faster at startup and is also faster by using the programs on the laptop. As there are now no hard drives on the laptop, there is now virtually no fan noise, which was inconvenient.

    Thank you for your advice.
