Question of hard drive HP Pavilion M9350f

A few days ago, my computer crashed (HP Pavilion Elite M950f) and wouldn't load so I talked to HP technicians, they told me that I had to recover my computer using the disc that they sent to me so I got today, but my computer wouldn't run them so I called HP again they then had me run the diagnostic test that says hard disk not detected they stated that this means that my drive hard (the seagate 750GB Sata) still works would have enough trouble shoot it can someone tell me things I should try?

Mine did the same on 10/10/10. I came home & it was not admissible. I stopped him, press power and hard drive is no longer. I tried all the ports on the motherboard sata, no help. I bought a new HD, no help. I think that it is the motherboard. The troubleshooting steps, no help. I'll try a new cmos battery.

    Hello

    You need two cables, one is a sata cable:

    This cable is only for data and connect the hard drive to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

    The other cable is energy:

    http://www.itpartsdirect.com/STARTech-15-24cm-4-pin-Molex-to-SATA-power-cable-adaptor.html

    It connects the hard drive to the PSU.

    You can also buy a combo like this cable:

    http://www.Amazon.co.UK/DP/B00064GBT4/?tag=hydra0b-21&hvadid=9550951989&ref=asc_df_B00064GBT4

    All you have to do is to connect the hard drive and that's it. Make sure that the main drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are the numbers 1, 2, 3...)

  • Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?

    Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?  The bios is version v3.26, and the operating system is XP with SP3.  40 gig HD is full and you are looking to replace it but do not know what the size limit is with this bios version.

    Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion a705w desktop. This is based on the assumption that you converted the 5 and 0 and the fact that you mentioned a 40 GB hard drive.

    You already have the most current version of the BIOS of your computer and running the most recent service pack of Windows XP. Your computer and the operating system should support a drive of 500 GB without problem. The only problem is that your computer isn't any SATA ports, only 66/100 IDE (PATA). Look at local retailers and online for the IDE drives.

    Mick,

    Hello

    You have the best player for the laptop, you may have. You can use conventional disc (up to 500 to 750 GB), but none of them are as fast as the solid state drive. I guess that the laptop is a dv7-4000 series. This laptop does not support SATA III connection because a SATA III SSD is the only drive faster than what you got.

  • Request help second addition, internal hard drive [HP Pavilion Elite e9290f]

    Hello

    Quick question here. I am a music producer and you can always use a ton of extra space as some of my projects are 17 to 20 GB in size. My HP e9290f comes with a stock of 1 TB Seagate (I think) internal hard drive. I intend to add this DeckStar HGST hard 4 TB (7200 RPM)

    However, I am not sure, if this drive is compatible with my computer. I talked about the upgrade & maintenance manual but inside, he tells me only how to replace the current internal hard drive. The addition of this amount of space external hard drive is not an option since all my ports are used by external hard drive! Can anyone shed light on what tools I need exactly to connect this HD extra 4TB? I would appreciate your answers, because time is of the essence

    Hello

    I have not tested a HDD 4 TB on the motherboard of truckee. In theory, it should work as a data reader set shaped like a GPT disk.

    Another option if you don't want to take the risk is to install two hard drives of 2 TB. The one in the location empty in the cage from the hard drive and another in the optical drive Bay (if open) second.  You will need one 3.5 "to 5.25" adapter if you use the optical Bay.

    Check on the return policy for the 4 TB harddrive and see if your can return/exchange it if it doesn't work.  Kit retail for Hitachi 4TB has an optional driver if the motherboard of your PC will not format the drive completely outside up to 4 TB.

  • Size of the hard drive HP Pavilion g6 - 2263sr

    Hi all!

    This week I bought a laptop HP Pavilion g6 - 2263sr with Windows 8 is installed.

    I am completely satisfied with it except for one thing.

    Her hard drive was designed in such a way that now it is divided into two discs (see the screenshot below). The C drive is disproportionate to the d drive. The problem is I want to reorganize their abilities (for example I want to drive C: be drive D: 115 GB and 180 GB). So my question is: is a user authorized to make these changes or this setting cannot be changed without resetting the BIOS and its setting of futher?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Please don't touch to D:, it's your last resource to get your machine. You can create another drive say F: C: cut in two. Please read the following article:

  • Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

    Hello

    I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
    I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

    Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
    Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

    So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

    Thank you

    Hello

    New HARD drive should be recognized by the laptop properly.
    If you purchased a HARD drive 2.5 SATA, so I put t see serious reasons why this HARD drive is not working.

    Once the HARD drive has been replaced, boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The HARD drive must be formatted during the installation procedure

  • Question about hard drive Partitions

    My Satellite C650 bought recently has two equal size partitions - C (called Windows) and D (known as data). However, my "Users" folder and so all my data is stored on the C drive (with all programs) while the D drive and has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.

    How to move my file 'Users' the D drive - and if I do - it somehow it is interfering with the HARD drive folder?
    This can be as simple as move the users folder - but I'm not sure if the installation of 'Libraries' or all Office programs will always seek on the C drive for data.

    I would like some advice before as I did try.

    >... While the D drive has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.
    That s not the truth. You can use the free space on the second partition. HDDrecovery is just a folder where recovery image is saved. You can enter the folder properties and set it as invisible and you will see it.

    This recovery is important for two things:
    -for the creation of recovery DVDs
    -for HARD drive recovery procedure.

    Generally speaking, if you have created recovery DVD (highly recommended) you can delete this folder, but after doing this, you will not be able to create recovery DVDs or of the installation of recovery disk (F8 at startup).

    You have to understand how it works?
    If you have any other questions please let me know.

  • HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15: I changed my hard drive (HP Pavilion), how can I get all features associated HP I used to have?

    (Pavilion product number: D3D66EA-#UUW)

    I had to change it and, of course, to reinstall my windows 8.1 (I have the installation DVD)

    Everything works fine with windows, my problem is that the I ve lost all my HP related software and features.

    Is there anyway I could get the default HP-software and features on my new hard drive?

    rSamuli

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    You said that you have restored your PC using a DVD, but HP recover media consists of a SET of DVD, not a single DVD - so I have to assume that it was NOT a support of HP recovery.

    Ordinarily, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state. That would erase the entire disk, format the drive and install the operating system, drivers and utilities HP.

    Unfortunately, there is no support of HP recovery related to HP for your PC Product Page. This could be an oversight by HP, or it could also mean that HP stock is no longer the recovery media for your PC. They store any long recovery media for older PCs.

    You can try to contact the HP customer directly, using the links below, to see if you can order them if:

    If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

    If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

    NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!

    If HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    Good luck

  • Question about hard drive storage on Satellite Pro L40

    I have a Satellite Pro L40. Memory hard drive seems to be divided into two (about 35 GB each) under Vista C and e of data.
    Vista C is almost full. How can I use/access the E-data memory?

    Hi Bart

    Please don't get me wrong, but your question is really strange. I mean after reading your post, I'm really interested in your PC knowledge and how long you use your laptop.

    You want to know is basic stuff and must be learned first when you start using computers.
    When you have the time to try to get some book on WXP or Vista and all know about operating systems and how to use them.

    Open Windows Explorer, and you will have direct access to the second partition. You can move files from C to D, or save all data directly on the D partition.

    Google a bit. You can find many Web pages on basic stuff to the use of operating system.

  • removal of the hard drive HP Pavilion s3360

    My HP Pavilion s3360 crashed 2 days ago, but because I had to buy a new pc anyway, I don't really mind. But I want to try to delete data on my drive hard (if he has not 'dead'...), so I tried to remove it, but the dvd drive is in the way (even I see not the HARD drive). I tried to remove the dvd drive, but that seemed to be stuck... I don't know much about computers, so I'd like some advice on how to remove the dvd drive (and after the HARD disk) on this particular type of pc.

  • Satellite M70-192 - question of HARD drive replacement

    Hello...

    It's just my first time to ask for help in this forum... and besides, in any forum on the whole wide net.
    So, sorry if am don't do this right... that's...

    My brother bought a laptop (Toshiba Satellite M70 - 192 psm71e-01k00rar) of the Kuwait around 2006. A few months ago we started hearing "noise noise deaf deaf" - ing sound inside the camera and the screen is just deleted (there was an error message that is encrypted but I wasn't able to note it). I was able to boot from the DVD or USB drive. So I thought that maybe the hard drive has been the only problem.

    I put in a new HARD drive (a 320 GB western digital scorpio wd3200bevt) and started to reinstall the system (I forgot which of the 2 supplied Toshiba cd I inserted first - media cd or the windows xp CD-ROM) but in the middle of installing the keyboard area was so hot that I unplugged / stop the laptop immediately.

    After that, the HARD drive has become invisible to any Linux or rescue CD or utility of HARD drive that I tried to boot from... (fortunately?) The said HDD vendor as the HARD wd scorpio drive + really + defective and they replaced...

    * now the questions: * I discovered that the rated current for the HARD drive (60 GB) provided originally for the Toshiba M70 is a little bigger than the new wd scorpio *(.55 amp) *. Could this be the reason why the 1st WD Scorpion got "fried"?
    Is it a SATA1 - SATA2 question?
    How can I _properly_ replace/upgrade our laptop HARD drive?

    Please note that before I bought the new HARD drive, I ve read somewhere in the "net I could use a disk sata2 on a sata1 controller, etc. + * pls help!" * +

    Toshiba services are simply too expensive for me right now if will send it (cell phone) in a licensed shop. Why I'm in DIY mode that s. I don't think I can afford an another fried Scorpion!

    Thank you!
    yours,
    TAC

    > I discovered that the rated current for the HARD drive (60 GB) provided originally for the Toshiba M70 is a little bigger than the new wd Scorpion (.55 MPA). Could this be the reason why the 1st WD Scorpion got "fried"?

    I don t think that a larger and faster HARD drive might be the reason for the higher internal temperature.
    You said that you have heard and his strange "noise noise deaf deaf." Such sound could be created by the defective cooling module. A defective module could be responsible for the highest internal temperature

    > Is it a SATA1 - SATA2 question?
    Here's your second thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//message.jspa?MessageID=150272
    You can see that the SATA2 is compatible to the bottom and the s SATA2 HARD drive would work with common controller SATA HDD.

    > How can I properly replace/upgrade our laptop HARD drive?
    Replacing the HARD drive is not difficult. I see that you have already found the HARD drive Bay and bought a HARD drive.
    In your case I recommend using the common SATA 2.5 HARD drive with 100 GB maybe 120 GB.

  • P500 - big questions re: hard drive

    Greetings to the Group!

    My Ideapoad P500 is about 16 months (the warranty period is therefore, of course!) A few nights after a reboot I got the message "hard drive to fix the errors. It may take an hour or more. "... or something very similar. The laptop hooked to this message for more than 18 hours.

    I did a hard reboot and now get the message "check media' followed by the error"initialization failed." This leads to the message "default dbo device missing or failed to start."

    No I don't have any recovery media

    Yes I have backups fairly recent, it's not a problem.

    I have a box that I can use to connect my portable hard drive till I can see if the drive is still readable.

    That's the 64 thousand dollar question... How can I get the hard drive of the laptop? I took the five screws from the rear. At this point, I think the DVD player needs to come out, but is not.

    Can someone point me to a video or a document that describes in detail how to get the hard drive out?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Replacing hard drive HP Pavilion g4-1015dx

    I recently acquired a HP Pavilion 1015dx g4 with a failing hard drive.

    I was wondering if this computer supports SATA III drives specifically the

    Western Digital laptop bare drives 500 GB WD Blue SATA III 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache Bulk/OEM hard drive WD5000LPVX

    Thank you!

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See page 51 for hard drive access. Note the connector that connects the bare hard drive to the motherboard. You will need to reuse the parts caddy/connector/mylar shield from the old drive.

    Your laptop SATA ports are SATA II. In most cases, if it doesn't have USB 3.0, it also doesn't have SATA III. Your don't have any USB 3.0. However, SATA-III hard disks 2.5 inches wide and 7 or 9.5 mm thick will work fine. SATA III interface is backward compatible with SATA-II.  I guess that you have chosen the WD Blue 5400 RPM drive due to their low cost, but it would be well worth an extra 10 or $15 to have a disk of 7200 RPM like the WD Black or this one:
