Problem adding a hard disk for Pavilion Elite HPE - 380 t

Hello

I am trying to replace my existing drive with a new WD 1 TB hard drive. So I intend to install the new WD drive as the 2nd drive, and then run the utility WD Acronis to clone the original to the new drive.

However, when I install the new disk, the BIOS recognizes it, but I think it appears in Windows 7 such as D drive, but it does not work. When I run Acronis, he says that it doesn't detect any WD drive.

I went into the BIOS and ran the test drive / self-test and it passed.

I noticed that the SATA1 controller is enabled. He didn't check before installing the drive.

The controller SATA1 mode is RAID. Not sure that it was previously.

Oh, and I plugged the new drive SATA cable into the connector of the motherboard directly next to the SATA connector as my original drive.

Everyone through this? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Steve

You are right. It was the answer, sort of. When I started Windows 7, I went in the new disk drives and active management. I let the system assign drive letters. I then rebooted.

Then when I came back to Windows, I was able to run the original utility WD Acronis True Image to clone my source drive to the new drive. When finished, stop the system, removed my original drive and the new drive my only drive.

Everything works beautifully. I managed to replace my hard drive.

Thanks for the tip.

Steve

  • Maximum size of the hard disk for Pavilion a800n

    Hello

    One last question, I replace the hard drive (160G) in my old Pavilion a800n and wonder what would be the size (well at least 500G) max. Guess I could partition if necessary...

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Sorry, based on the following specifications, I would not be to HARD disk. If you need more space for data/files, buy an external HARD drive.

  • Replacement hard disk for Pavilion a1410n.

    I have Pavilion a1410n desktop. Only the changes that has been done is upgrading the memory to 3 GB.

    The hard drive in the computer, which is a 200 GB (SATA) has been restored several times, which does not give me much space left. I am wanting to replace the hard drive with a larger. What is the most important I can go with, without causing a lot of problems? Can I put a 500 GB or more of this computer?

    I have the restore disc that I ordered for this return of the computer when I bought it. So, I would not have problems with drivers and others. Am I right in assuming that if I leave the restore disc to do their work, it configures the disk partitions and all?

    Please can someone answer back me as soon as possible. I need to return this computer running as soon as possible.

    Hello:

    I don't know the answer to your questions, except to say that no hard drive (at least in Windows Help) has never its total size available.  And the larger the hard drive, there seems to be a larger piece of unusable space.

    Of what you have said, you still have a lot of free space available. Once your hard drive becomes 60-70% full, then it's time to look for a bigger.

    In addition, please note that if you do not install a bigger hard drive, you will not be able to put the partition recovery on it.

    Another idea for you would be to install a new drive hard more to one that you have and use it to store your files, music, photos, etc on, and you can continue your the original one for the OS and programs.

    You will need to make sure that if you do that, you buy a hard drive which comes with a cable SATA data.

    There should be another SATA power cable to hang it, and you would plug the data cable into the SATA port labeled SATA1.

    Just make sure you have a player available to install and screw location or what is needed to mount the drive inside the enclosure.

    To help you do this, I enclose the link to your guide of upgrade and maintenance, which will give you step by step instructions on how to open the case and install the various components, including hard drives.

  • Impossible to reinstall Vista on a new hard disk for Pavilion dv9700t

    Hello.

    Recently, the hard drive on my Pavilion dv9700t (p / n: KL086AV) began to fail.  So I bought a new hard drive and created the recovery disc (I didn't realize that I had to their creation until now, but I got lucky and my computer handed her long enough to do so).

    However, when I installed the new hard drive and tried to launch the recovery discs, I received the message, "this PC is not supported by system recovery disks.  You can continue to recover this system with these discs. »

    I have vista 32 bit, my old hard drive was 320 GB and a new one, I bought is a Seagate 500 GB.

    Through researching this problem, I came across different answers.  Some say that the size of the hard drive must be the same, others say recovery discs do not work on a new drive hard unless a special action is taken by a technician, and some say that there is no problem at all.

    I can't find any consistent information on this problem.  All the tips, I would much appretiate.  Thank you in advance!

    Hello:

    Sometimes the discs just do not work.

    I have not met a problem where if you have a bigger drive they don't work, but if you get a smaller drive as an SSD, so it's almost a sure bet that they do not work.

    As I see it, you have two choices: buy a set of HP recovery disks, if they are available and hope they work.

    Or if you can read your Vista product key on the sticker COST MS 25 characters on the bottom of your PC, you can make your own Vista installation disc.

    If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

    You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

    Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

    The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

    I selected no, make the ISO file.

    It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

    I tested both of them one my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, worked flawlessly.

    When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-v...

    After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

  • Pavilion DV4: error of hard disk for Pavilion DV4

    My notebook, it is far too slow, ran a diagnostic hard drive test system. It is said

    What I need to get a new drive or it can be saved?

    Hello

    24 short drive self-test error code would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the problem of slow performance that you describe.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

  • Compatible hard disk for Pavilion a475c

    I want to spend a Pavilion a475c desktop computer hard drive.

    Existing hard drive: 160 GB 7200 RPM Ultra DMA

    Upgrade the hard drive, I'm considering:

    Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB Bulk/OEM hard drive 3.5 inch, 16 MB of Cache, 7200 RPM SATA II WD5000AAKS

    This player is compatible?  Are there changes to the BIOS?

    It is a bare drive OEM and doesn't come with wires or screws.  I have to get a SATA cable screw or power cable?

    bradoneill wrote: thanks for the reply, Hanspuppa.  A few questions. I forgot to mention the operating system is XP Home SP3.  Given that the original hard drive is already greater than 137 GB (it's 160), does that mean that 500 GB should be no problem as well. If it is not a SATA port (I don't have access to the computer right now, he's a friend) I found a SATA Serial ATA Hard Drive/CD/DVD-ROM for of PATA/IDE Interface adapter to convert from Amazon.com to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002Y2NI4M/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A10GIQVUTYZMGS for a long time that I have the power adapter and SATA cables, you see no problem with that...? As

    Hello bradoneill, if the system BIOS already takes in charge the 160 GB hard drive, it should support the 500 GB hard drive.

    Windows XP SP3 should support the 500 GB HDD in addition.

    I'll try to use the Sata port without an adapter. I've never used one of these cards, but I read some reviews that speak well of them. Some reported they have caused data errors, but that might have in the early days when these devices first became available.

    If you can and should use the adapter, you can use it on the DVD player if you need to liberate one of the Sata ports. This would almost ensure you no problems with this card, and if there were, it would be on the DVD drive and not the hard drive where the operating system would not be compromised.

    Just some thoughts.

  • Compatible hard disk for Pavilion a566n?

    I know it's a basic question, but I am trying to determine what are my options to replace a hard drive in my a566n.    The vehicle has currently two readers... master is a 40 G Western Digital (WDC WD400BB-00DEA0) and the slave is a 20 G Maxtor.    It's the slave I get messages from 'bad disc' on.

    I tried to look into it and I think I can use an "Ultra DMA" player but that is the only criterion that I must consider to ensure compatibility?       I understand as well as the ultra dma is obsolete these days.   Can I use a SATA II drive if I replace the WD and the Maxtor?

    In addition, are interchangeable terms Ultra DMA and IDE

    I want to really just be faster and a little bigger.    I'll probably look for a disk of 100 G or less.

    Thanks for the help,

    John

    Most of these old lodges will not support SATA drives. The mother board "may" have SATA connectors, but generally supported BIOS for SATA is missing in custom HP settings.

    I would get a hard drive 7200 RPM and use it to main C: drive:

    BTW, the Specs page for this model indicates that it comes with a 200 GB hard drive. The hard drive has been replaced before?

  • Dual display for Pavilion Elite HPE - 580 t with NVIDIA GeForce GT 420

    recently bought Pavilion 580t for my wife. Updated to NVIDIA GeForce GT 420 map graphics. But there are currently not able to determine if it supports dual display. When you check the Nvidia site, he says that all the stuff here. But this has only a DVI port. It also has an HDMI port. Do I need a spliter any for this?  Or can I use the HDMI port for a monitor (if the new monitors even come with this exit) and DVI for others (currently using the VGA adapter)? 

    I upgraded the stock graphics card when placing your order. I hope that I did a bonehead move and will still need to buy another graphics card.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 500f D: SSD replacement for HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f to original desktop PC hard drive

    Hi all!

    I would like to replace the original hard drive came with my desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f with an SSD, but when I tried, I got the error message that my SSD drive was not big enough. The original hard drive is 1.35 TB. What size an SSD should be to replace the original CT 1.35 supplied with my HP so that I could use the 1.35 disc as my second drive and the ssd as my main drive?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Yes I think a 240 GB SSD would be sufficient.  Using the hard drive for storage is a good idea.

    These articles HOWTO HP should be useful.

    You should be able to install the SSD in the existing hard drive cage as it is put into service for three hard drives.  Use a 2.5 "to 3.5" adapter.  You also need a SATA data cable.

    Don't forget to create the external recovery media and backup your data.

    Hello

    How fast is fast is the real question.

    Have you looked at hybrid drives OCZ? Expensive but probably the fastest option.

    Seagate also made a hybrid hard drive.  Good price... You will need a 3.5 "to 2.5" support if the player does not support.  If you install the drive in an empty optical Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 2.5" support.

    Your other choice is 7 200 or 10 000 rpm traditional hard drives.

    Another option would be to add a PCI sata and two external hard dirves configured in RAID 0.

  • Pavilion Elite HPE-170F recovery problem

    I woke up yesterday to a problem of blue screen on my Windows 7 Pavilion Elite HPE-170F.  Following reboot, but would end up the same way.  Tried to boot mode without failure, but same result.  A technician came to the House and he did Diagnostics with its test disc that says the HD had to be replaced.  I had my recovery disks that I made when I bought the computer 4 years, which made her happy.  He installed the new HD and put the old in another location, planning to transfer my files after the restore.  He began the process of recovery with disk 1 and told me to change the disks as needed while he went to see another client.  All done and then it entered into startup mode of windows. went black for a while and then gave me the message "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on hardware.  The technician returned and tried other things but the same results.  We ordered a new series of HP recovery disks but will take a week.  The question, since the instructions say to disconnect everything except the monitor, keyboard, and mouse, would be the printer that is wireless a problem and should it be turned off?  Also, the mouse and the keyboard are different than the original, which would be a problem.  In addition, Windows installed several updates of the day before the problem.

    I venture a guess the your computer uses an Intel chipset, can be set to "RAID", and the replacement of the hard disk is a disk AF (Advanced Format). Please see desktop HP - can not recover the PC after replacing the Hard Drive with an AF Drive (Windows 7 and Vista) for more information on this topic. Please see computers HP-HP System Recovery troubleshooting (Windows 7) for more information on the AF drives and some troubleshooting tips.

    Alternatively, if you can still read the Windows product key of 25 characters on the COA Microsoft attached to your computer, you can install Windows 7 using this key. Please see "how to install Windows 7 without the disc" to get instructions on how to download Windows 7, create the installation media and install Windows 7 using the product key 25 character of the COA Microsoft on your computer.
