removing the disc HARD dv4t-5300

Oops someone showed me where the maintenance manual is on this.  Thank you!

I just bought a laptop HP dv4t-5300 series.  I removed the small bottom plate to find that there are no screws to remove the disk hard so that I can put in my drive SSD OCZ Vector (w00t).  Dv6t-7300 there is two screws and disc hard this spell.

I can't find any on HDD removal textbooks and when I called technical support HP says the hard drive can't get out and it is a particular size for a SSD will not fit.  The hard drive is a standard 2.5 "and I think that the tech knew what he was talking about.

Anyone would be able to seat me with where to find a manual or something on this computer?  Usually youtube or some forum or Internet HP site it would, but I can't find anywhere, anything on this computer again.  Sometimes, you have to remove the keyboard in order to install things but I don't want to start taking everything as part of discover that it's just a hidden screw or something.

Thank you!

  • Delete or remove the disc hard which does not exist

    Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit, all updates have been made.  Explorer > computer > drives shows disk space (q) but no other info like x GB free y GB, and there is no box with a blue line.  "By clicking on the disc (q) Local triggers an error box ' there is no location: Q:\ is not accessible.  Access is denied. »

    In looking at Start > computer > Manage > storage > Disk Management (q) does not appear while all other disks are listed.

    With the help of Jv16 Power Tools 2014 to search the drive (q) it just says "Directory does not exist."

    Digging further, I found the registry under HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices\ watch? \VOLUME{ff00752d-F6E4-11E2-853d-002564e38f71}

    That same volume appears in hundreds of Warning Messages in the start menu > computer > Manage > system tools > event viewer > Windows Logs > request as a VSS 12348 warning.  In some cases there are two second VSS in the same warning messages.

    How to fixed the problem?  Fictitious (q) hard drive may be removed or deleted?  The registry entry should be deleted?  My guess is that a program is trying to access all mounted devices that triggers the VSS warning.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    I can understand that you are not satisfied with the response from Toshiba, but you must understand why they send content. On Toshiba laptops, by a hardware upgrade can be done by the owner of the laptop and other authorized personal only.
    As you can see HARD drive upgrade or replacement must be carried out by technicians.

    For example: you try to replace the HARD drive and damage your laptop HARD drive connectors.
    So what you can do to solve this problem? Who should be responsible for this and, at least, who should pay for the repair?

    In the end, I must say that you can do with your laptop you have and if Exchange you it to HDD please do the following:

    1. remove the screws fixing the HARD drive cover
    2. Insert your finger into the slot and lift the cover of the HARD drive to remove
    3. remove the HDD from the slot and disconnect the HARD drive harness connector. (if the connector is located on the left moves the HARD disk to the right)
    4. remove the screws and separate the HARD drive and disk HARD holder

    Take care to not press on top or bottom of a HARD drive. Pressure can cause data loss or damage to the unit. Please note that you do this at your own risk.

    If you have any questions on Win7 let me know.

  • Remove the disc hard virtual does not remove the vmdk files

    Hi guys

    I have 2 virtual disks attached with 1 VM. I'm trying to get rid of the 2nd virtual disk. After removing successfully without error, it seems always on the data as _1.vmdk store. I presume that it must automatically disappeared from the store of data too.

    I can add this disc again and start the virtual machine without problem.

    In the past, I have deleted the virtual machine complete and all the associated HDs went but this is the first time I remove 1 hard drive.

    any advice?

    Thanks to the adv.

    Sure! If you select, the virtual disk will be removed only from the virtual machine, but it will always be in the data store. just like what you are facing now. For your needs, you wil had to select B, where the virtual disk will be removed form the machine virtual and then permanently deleted.

    Hope it will be much clearer to you now...

    Hello

    Maybe you should first check if there is no access to all the files that are stored on external HARD drive

    I put t know how it works with your external HARD drive, but if I want to remove my HARD drive safely the new window opens and I get a USB mass storage device called option.

    If I mark this USB mass storage device and press STOP then a new window opens and I get 3 different devices;
    -USB mass storage device
    -Generic volume
    -USB HDD device

    If I score the first two options then my HARD drive crashes but if I choose the last of them then I can remove the HARD drive safely

    You must delete all the snapshots or the clichés associated with this disc to be able to remove the disc hisself. Example, even if you do not, if the drive was there when you did a snapshot, the associated disk cannot be deleted.

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:
    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    After the first reboot, set the BIOS to boot from the hard drive.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • When I deleted a picture of my MacBook, why it also remove the external hard drive?

    So I tried to help my wife to free up space on his MacBook Pro by putting all of his photos on an external hard drive. After iPhoto slide the hard disk and wait 40 minutes so that he could transfer, I wanted to make sure it worked. I ejected the disk and then plugged in. Of course, all iphotos were still there. Just to be sure, I deleted one file in the folder on the computer's iphoto. I went to my shock and horror, the external hard drive, that it has been deleted it too! How is that possible? I've been scouring the Internet trying to retrieve this file with no luck. It was not in the trash. There is a tab "recently deleted". Time machine was not turned on. iCloud shows nothing. I can't download any software, because the computer is completely filled. How is it possible that by deleting this folder on the computer he did also leave the hard drive? AND it has not been saved in the trash? I have used PC, and whenever I need something in return, he was ALWAYS in the trash. And if I deleted something on the computer with an external hard drive connected, it would NEVER be removed from the external hard drive at the same time. I'm so frustrated and feeling SO bad that I deleted a folder with important pictures of our kids. Is that what I can do to recover the pictures? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You used Time Machine at all? I see you say it was not on, but it never on and is at - it a backup Time Machine on the Macbook Pro?

    It has password always news.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I hope that you use the correct and just HARD drive password because it of necessary to remove and delete the existing HARD disk password.
    If you have forgot the password for HARD drive then the HARD drive should be locked and you would not be able to unlock the HARD drive!

    Generally, the HARD drive password can be deleted in the BIOS.
    Please ensure that another password would be removed too.

  • Equium A200-1AC - cannot remove the second HARD drive cover

    I have an Equium A200-1AC, there is also a second HARD-drive Bay, but I can't get the cover off the coast, can anyone help?

    Hello

    As far as I know, this HARD drive cover is only guaranteed with a screw and after the withdrawal of these screws, you should be able to remove the plastic cover.

    Hello

    I bought a new HARD drive and I want to put it in place of additional hard drive, but I can't remove the cover... :-(... I was remove two screws and nothing...
    Can you help me please?

    Respect...

    Stand by. If I understand you right, you want to add the second HARD drive. Am I right about that?
    At first, I must say that this is not possible due to lack of connectors. In any case you can check only. Remove the two screws and remove the cover plastic. I know, it cannot be removed easily. Remove it in the middle and remove the side.

  • How to remove a photo from a collection and simultaneously remove the disc

    I find that when I delete a photo from a collection that remains on my hard drive (Finder).

    It's painful because I've deleted hundreds of photos and assumed they were being removed from my hard drive as well.  Here are the pictures, I want more.

    I know that if I delete a photo from my main library asks me if I want deleted from the disk as well.

    But is there a way to delete a photo from a collection and removed it from the disk as at the same time?

    In addition, now I have hundreds of photos on my hard drive that I thought I was unwanted remove when I deleted them from lightroom, is there a simple way to track those and delete them?

    Thank you

    But is there a way to delete a photo from a collection and removed it from the disk as at the same time?

    Use the 'remove splat' Shift-Ctrl-Alt-Delete

    You will be asked no confirmation. The files will be deleted immediately.

    In addition, now I have hundreds of photos on my hard drive that I thought I was unwanted remove when I deleted them from lightroom, is there a simple way to track those and delete them?

    Simple way? I'm not aware of anything.

    Complexes of convoluted way? Perhaps, but I've never tried, so I would be guessing.
