• Recovery disk failure after replacing hard drive of a laptop computer DV7 series

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7-4270us with Windows 7 64 bit and recently received a message on start-up indicating that the intelligent of my hard drive failed. I bought a hybrid Momentus XT drive. I bought the recovery discs, since I neglected to follow my own advice and did not have a game. Replaced the hard drive, and begun the process of recovery, after the disc of the Application, the system was declared finished, clicks the button, the system shuts down. Activated power, recovery took over for a few minutes, declaring that he was copying files, a few minutes later, he said it was over asking me to click done. After that I did it, the system has rebooted hung on the screen of the HP logo with the statement in the lower left corner indicating "press ESC for the Start Menu. My only recourse was to power down the machine. When I restart the computer, I get the message 'Bootmgr' missing

  I have already paid through the forums and tried to download the Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit DVD of digital life. As it starts installing, it indicates that a driver is missing, I poured by drivers for this computer and see nothing for SATA, and none of the others would be required to start. I succeeded in my Windows 7 Professional on the loading system, but since I don't have an extra code to hang out professional, it's not helping right now.

  I also tried to partition the new disk manually using a device that allows me to see the drive using a USB port and my office, but he's not right. The good news is that the old drive still works to a point. I can read it via USB, and I can back up the drive, with the exception of the recovery partition. But when I put the new disk and set up similar scores for the original drive, it still does not start.

  I have tried many other things all pronounce the failure, I'm not used to failure when it comes to computers, so be gentle.

  Hello:

  The missing pilot is due either to a bad burn or use another brand of DVD. You must burn the ISO at the slowest speed possible file that you can.

  In addition, check the size of the ISO file that you downloaded. Sometimes you do not get the full 3. XX GB even if the download says completed.

  If you have 4 GB or more large USB flash drive, you can install W7 as it.

  Just follow these instructions...

  Download the MS of W7 USB installation tool and read the instructions on the page to use.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/p bPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  You may also make this mod as I did if the flash tool-error.

  Download the bootsect file form http://www.everettsporting.com/bootsect.zip

  You will need to go into Control Panel, select display large icons, go to the icon of folder options, view tab, and select the hidden files and folders option.

  Once downloaded, copy the BootSect.exe file in the same folder that contains the file of Windows7-USB-DVD-Download - Tool.exe installed. This file in Windows 7's default installation directory is C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Apps\Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool\
  
  Run the application from the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool as described on the Microsoft Store website. The end result will give you a boot USB flash drive that contains everything you need to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

• Satellite 1410 714 extremely slow after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite 1410-714 which has had a hard drive failure. I replaced the drive, but now the computer is extremely slow. Windows has been reinstalled, it was really slow too much and now it takes minutes for windows to start.

  I suspect that something might have broken on the motherboard and the hard disk. I checked mobo replacement parts, but have not found anything for-714, so a 1410 mobo compatible? This model has a processor celeron 1.8.

  Thanks for help.

  If you use a perpetual Photoshop and formatted your disc version of starting without disabling your activation of Photoshop, you also Adobe supports help you activate Photoshop once you retrieve your serial number.  The startup disk formatting would destroy that credential of Activation Photoshop machine which is registered in the database of the Adobe activation server. Which reduces the activation numbers you have to use.  If you have Photoshop installed on a second computer that means that you have no free activation available as well, even with your key you can't activated the machine.

• Replace hard drive DC7600 mini lathe

  I have a HP Compaq Business Desktop dc7600 - P4 630 convertible minitower which was provided with two drives 80Gbyte hard.  I would like to replace one of the disks (D) with 160 GB SATA 3.0 GB/s hard (HP PY277AA part number) or hard drive of 250 GB SATA 3.0 GB/s (number PY278AA).  Is there a reason not to go for the biggest of them?  BIOS won't recognize the larger size and how to configure it?  And, finally, when I open the case of the PC, is it obvious which drive (C or D) is that?

  Thank you

  You will have no problem according to the size of the disk. You can just remove old and plug replacement. When installed go to computer, right-click and select manage and find disk management. It will show the new drive as empty space, and you can do a right click on it create a partition and format and do not forget to assign a drive letter. I guess that drive D is for storage. Readers don't will not labeled C and D physically but not bootable drive will usually be in the higher numbered SATA port. You can certainly test and error if all else fails. Simply unplug one then the other and see if the system boots. I personally would clone the existing to the new drive, which will be faster startup disk. If you need help with that, after return.

• Replacement HARD drive questions

  So to make a long story short the Thinkvantage Toolbox thing reported a bad hard drive for about a month now.

  I get no other indicators of failure of emminet as bad sectors but didn't want to push the thing as its under warranty so I am in touch with the contact centre yesterday and had a replacement delivered today drive, and I live in the Bush so kuddos it.

  However, I have this HARD drive with nothing but lables to ship the old man back to "avoid being charged for the new part.

  If at this point, I have two main concerns.

  I understand the work of monkey of replacing the drive on this computer, but am I to assume that the new disc has a preloaded OS or something or there at - it a procedure that I could follow, perhaps?

  I've done some general poking around on the net and you have not found anything so far so I'll try here.

  My second consideration relates to return a drive that I lived with for more than six months and shows no other problems except for a flag of Thinkvantage.

  I understand that there is a kind of extended warranty "servece" that allows the physical conservation of the old drive and I'm not trying to be a jerk on everything that I understand the recycling of old electronic devices and so forth and so but it seems silly just send my old data like this on a vague threat of a charge if I do not return the part.

  I am happy to return the thing, but if I am not satisfied that I was able to erase the disc it will come back with a few nails through it and etc.

  Is that going to undergo this 'charge', they mention?

  If the old drive was more like a bad drive I would not also be concerned about data cleaning, but I'm not tickled on the idea of sending the thing somewhere with more than half a year of various personal information on this subject in its current state.

  How they even think that they would be "charge" is another question altogether, but I find rather reasonable for my worries appealed, if one is available to force the issue unnecessarily.

  Thank you.

  Well, got some information by e-mail, Lenovo, this morning.

  Fitness beat email out here to the boonies in less than 24 hours Friday.

  UPS has been everywhere this one not?

  The confusing side kuddos for the speed again and I noticed that the replacement drive is more than 50 concerts more so than the old car so more warm and fuzzies of my dissertation.

• I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp.

  I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp. Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?  I would that all is the same except the size of your hard drive will be increased.

  Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?

  Yes.

  You use the disk cloning software.  In some cases, a new player may even be bundled with software that will do this for you.

  Unless your laptop has a second drive Bay (most don't), you will also need an external hard drive enclosure.  As a general rule, these connect via the USB port, although if your laptop has a connector FireWire or eSATA you can also use these interfaces.

  You must select your external enclosure based on 3 criteria: the type of connection to the laptop. the physical size of the disc (2 1/2 inches for computer laptop drives); and player interface (determined by the connection of the internal drive of your laptop). For example only (no recommendation), if you wanted an enclosure for a 2.5 IDE drive "which connects using USB 2.0, Newegg has 17 products

  The (slightly) more expensive items among the software, you will need.  For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602 this particular House will work with SATA or IDE drives.

  If you buy an external enclosure that doesn't include cloning software, the software may be available for free from the manufacturer of the new 320 GB drive (e.g., http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list):

• installation and replacement of hard disk in the computer hp mini 110

  I need help replacing a hard drive on my computer hp mini 110.

  HP Mini 110

  Windows XP sp3

  I just posted a question about the installation of the operating system.  Fixed that issue but found another.  I installed the operating system and everything was fine.  I started to install the drivers and applications, and after you have installed hp applications the pc has restarted and came up with a message saying:

  PRI Master Hard Disk: S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD, Backup and replace, press F1 to resume.

  PRI Master: WDC WD1600BEVT-60ZCT1 13.01A13 ULTRA DMA MODE 5 S.M.A.R.T. Capable and BAD Status

  I press F1 and it started.  I was still a few drivers requiring an installation.  Since I've installed just everything, there was not much to save.

  I installed a different driver and rebooted and this time I hit F1 it didn't start.  I got a black page with a line of blinking cursor and nothing else happens.

  After some research, I've seen it's a bad hard drive.

  My question is:

  Is this something that can be replaced at home.  I can read the instructions.  What I need to get the same hard drive, or are there others that will work?  If I can do it at home, where can I find instructions to replace it and what is the best place to get the hard drive.  Is this what I need to know.

  Thanks for anyone's help.  I'm sure I look like an idiot, but it's something I've not done in a laptop.  I replaced and internal hard drive in a desktop computer.  I remember myself set to land and out and plug in another.  I had the chance then because the computer had 2 hard drives.

  I guess I'll need to reformat the drive and start over again with the installation of the operating system etc.

  Would I be able to upgrade and install vista or windows 7?

  Any help is appreciated.

  Hi, Tamara:

  Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop, which also lets you complete the You-Tube video.

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01895806.PDF

  You can buy a 2.5 "laptop hard drive size 160 GB SATA II, should not exceed 500 GB.

  You can get a 5 400 rpm model or a model of 7 200 RPM.

  The difference between the two is that you will get better performance (faster seek times) a disc of 7 200 RPM.

  However, it will be at the expense of the life of the battery between charges.

  So, what you choose, it's up to you.

  Here is a link to a site that sells hard drives of laptop.

  They have great prices and there are a lot of feedback from customers that may be useful for you to decide which one to go with.

  According to specifications, your computer can run Windows 7 well.

  I recommend edit you your message and remove any reference to the discussion of smuggling copies of Windows 7. These assignments are not in accordance with the rules of the forum.

  In addition, please keep in mind that a lot of these free copies of Windows can be loaded with traps that can steal your personal data and do other nasty things, including perhaps turn your PC into a Bot who committed illegal activities.  It is not worth it for me to install such illegally of is software and possibly have the bust of the FBI to the bottom of my door and arrest me for something that I didn't know that was going on with my PC.

  It seems that the recovery XP disks are available for your PC, even if the link is broken, so if you want to reinstall XP, contact HP by telephone and you can get a set for less than $20.00.

  Otherwise, you can get a game online site for $27.00 + shipping costs.

  You get a legitimate copy of Windows OEM 7 (relatively) cheap at the link below.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16832116983

  Or you can pay double that and get the commercial version, which you can transfer to another PC. With the OEM edition, you can only use it once.

• HP ENVY 14 2020NR: need a recommendation for a replacement hard drive

  Greetings,

  I have an a HP ENVY 14 2020NR with a hard drive died. Blue several screens before the new year, did a complete system restore, which seemed to have fixed things. Unfortunately, after 10 days the blue screens are back. The unit is several years old, and my next step is to replace the hard drive. I have all the data backed up elsewhere and ready DVD restore disc.

  Here are the specs of the drive:

  Hitachi disc HARD 7 K 750-750. P/N H2T7501672S.

  I am trying to identify the right replacement hard drive. Looks like it was 750 GB at 7200 RPM. Some choice out there. Can anyone recommend the correct replacement hard drive?

  Thanks in advance!

  DaniBoy

  Based on the laptop HP ENVY 14 - Maintenance Service Guide, it seems that your computer supports the following readers and more.

  6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard drives (HD) and the SSDS (SSD), 9.5 mm (. 37-in) and thicknesses of 7.0 mm (. 28 - in)
  Customer-accessible
  Serial ATA
  Supports the following hard disk configurations:
  ● 750 GB (7200 RPM)
  ● 640 GB (7200 RPM)
  ● 500 GB (7200 RPM)
  ● 320 GB (7200 RPM)

  Supports the following simple SSD drive configurations:
  ● 128 GB mSATA,
  ● 80 GB, mSATA
  ● 160 GB, SATA

  According to the above information, any hard disk 2.5 "SATA or SSD of 9.5 mm and 7.0 mm profile should work fine. This includes the newer readers who are more capacious.

  Please see Newegg - internal laptop hard drivesfor a few recommendations of HDD and Newegg - internal SSD for a certain number of decent SSD.

• Satellite Pro 2100: How do I reinstall the OS after replacing HARD drive

  I have a Toshiba SP2100 and I want to replace the hard drive, but I don't have any recovery CD
  So, how can I put the o/s back on?

  Try to connect the external HARD drive to the computer via the USB port and try to copy all content from the internal HARD disk external HARD drive. Then you could try to insert the external HARD drive in the laptop.
  But I've never tried this procedure and don t know if it will work.

  But usually after replacing HARD drive you should boot from the Boot CD as recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
  After the installation of clean Windows OS, you can visit the Toshiba drivers and you can download and install the drivers of Toshiba and utilities.

• TOSHIBA hard drive to Northgate 000601002 computer

  R2D2 answered Penjamin (May 2007) on a TOSHIBA hard drive for a computer satellite 000601002. I need to replace the 30 MB Toshiba 000601002 hard drive 03327R in Northgate computer. Where can I find a replacement drive? I guess that a 30 MB to 60 MB will work very well.

  To be honest, Northgate computer don't thing not big words for me, but if you want made disk HARD update contact the manufacturer.
  They can offer you information on the limits of upgrade and compatible parts.

  If there are standard IDE HDD inside you can enhance it with any other similar HARD drive. It doesn't have to be the same.
  Just be sure that the capacity will be recognized correctly.
