  After looking through the maintenance and Service of Guide for your PC, I have to say Yes... but...

  Here is the link so you can read it for yourself: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04653884

  As I see it, there are three issues: space, connector, fixed support.

  It seems that a hard drive from a laptop computer could insert in the space left by the optical drive, it is so probably not a problem.

  It there is no second set of connectors of SATA HDD, but since the DVD player doesn't use the same connectors as a hard drive, you can use those-, given that those who are not designed to be used for a hard drive, they will fit, but they may not work.

  The biggest problem is the lack of a fixed support for the hard disk.  The optical drive is designed to exactly fit the space and is held firmly in place with a screw in the case of the laptop.  There is no support for the holding of a hard drive in this space and most likely, no way to attach it to the case.  You don't want a hard drive slide in the optical drive bay, then for me, it would be a show-stopper.  If you were willing to consider a SSD instead, this wouldn't be a problem.

  And finally, and above all, it is my view of your personal situation. I does NOT represent or speak for-HP, so if you want to do this as an experiment, you're on your own - any damage resulting will void any warranty you have and you'll be on the hook to fix at your own expense.

  Good luck

• Replacment for X61s ssd drive

  Hello

  I am looking for replacement ssd drive for my Lenovo X61s. Initially, I decided it's going to be Intel X - 25 V 40 GB or 80 GB X 25 - M.

  I found the following Intel with apparently the same settings on the SSD market. I have visited many sites, I searched and there is no explanation of the codes and how they differ. Maybe some of you has such a comparison.

  Intel X 25 - M 80 GB SSD 2.5 "SATA MLC (SSDSA2MJ080G2C1).

  Intel X 25 - M 80 GB SSD 2.5 "SATA MLC (SSDSA2MH080G2R5) BOX.

  Intel X 25-M 80 GB SSD SATA (SSDSA2MH080G2C1)

  Intel X 25 - M 80 GB SSD SATA2 2.5 "SSDSA2MH080G2K5 (909118).

  Intel SSD X 25-M 80 GB MLC SATA 2.5 inch (SSDSA2MH080G1C1)

  Intel SSD X 25-M 80 GB SATA2 ML C (SSDSA2MH080G1C5)

  Intel X 25 - M 80 GB SSD SATA2 2.5 "MLC (906102).

  Prices are fundamentally different and it sort of the same X 25 - M 80 GB. I can't understand which is 7mm and 9.5 mm in height. I'll try to change a HARD drive in the laptop Lenovo X61s and don't know which suit you best.

  Your

  MH is the original G2, MJ implements NAND for OEM cusomers level, no increase in performance. The R5 is the retail, includes desktop Board supports, the C1 are OEM (drive only). You should at the very most, 9.5 "high road (height of the standard Player 2.5").

• Tecra R950-104 - can I replace ODD with SSD?

  Hello

  Is it possible to replace my DVD drive with an SSD with a HARD Drive Caddy?

  My laptop is a Toshiba Tecra R950-104.

  Kind regards

  Luis

  Hello

  I found on the internet some UltraSlim SATA HDD/SSD mounting frame that allow the use of 2nd 2.5 HDD/SSD drive instead of ODD in Notepad Tecra R950 but to be honest I m not 100% sure if the BIOS recognize such additional device.

  I know that computers Toshiba laptop (Portege and Tecra) series different takes in charge these updates in the past but this replacement was not supported by each laptop model.

  It depends on the BIOS and in the event that the BIOS recognize the 2nd HDD/SSD drive, the system should be able to recognize 2nd HARD drive

• Can I replace HHD with SSD in G570 4334 laptop computer 43344JU

  I have a laptop of Lenovo G570 4334 43344JU. It has a Pentium Intel B940 2.0 GHz processor,

  Conditioning LGA1155, Chipset ID 1 49. And the HARD drive is a HITACHI 320 GB SATA II 2.5 INCH HTS543232A7A384.

  Windows 7 Ultimate is installed on this computer.

  I want to replace the HARD drive by an Intel SSD 240 GB. Is it possible to replace only the current with HARD drive

  for example, an Intel 530 240 GB internal 2.5 inch Solid State Drive without changing the other hardware components such as the drive controller?

  Hi lor1cal,

  Welcome to the Forums.

  Yes, it is possible to replace the stock 2.5 "SATA HDD to a 2.5" SATA SSD.

  To put you on the SSD, you can:

  1 clone stock HDD to the SSD with Paragon Backup & Recovery Home 12 (free trial) or:

  

  2. perform a clean installation on the SSD using a Windows 7 bootable disc. If you do not have a bootable media and you only have a license key, you can get a Windows 7 ISO on this Web site. To create a bootable USB key, see this guide.

  Hope this helps

• M6-1035dx Pavilion: clone SSD drive cannot locate the recovery Partition

  I recently bought a HD 500 GB of SSD to replace the original that came with the laptop.  The SSD drive I bought is slightly smaller than the original one.   I used the cloning software is Macrium.  Partitions, I am interested in cloning are the HPTools and recovery.  Stand have been cloned successfully by the software.  I put the active recovery as well.

  After swapping the drives, the system starts the HPTools immediately, but the options for the restoration part are "grayed out".  I can't access it.  I tried several times, and this is where I am stuck.  It seems that the recovery partition is not detected by the cloned HPTools.

  I do not have the recovery DVD, but I have the original HD with partitions intact and they work just fine because I recently test the recovery process.

  I missed well to clone the original HD somehow that the SSD is unable to detect the partition?  Maybe I missed a step?  The difference in the size of the hard drive causes a problem in the recovery process?  How can I remedy the situation and use my new SSD?

  Thank you for all your advice.

  Try the complete sector-by-sector disk cloning.  If you use Macrium, you will need a paid version. The free version just do enough for the advanced cloning procedure you need.  See the following web document to compare versions.

  http://www.Macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx

  BTW, an SSD detects nothing. This is the BIOS and the operating system that detects hardware, firmware and software.

  You can use HP recovery media successfully on an SSD or not, that has at least 160 GB of capacity. Your 500 GB SSD certainly has enough capacity.

• HP ENVY - m7-k211dx: replaced HD with SSD again, impossible to install network drivers

  Hello

  HD on HP ENVY m7-k211dx not dead, no recoverable data. Figured why not install an SSD so replaced by a new Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB.

  Note: I have built many computers to office since the Pentium 4 days, consider myself as an amateur

  Installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit without any problems (after activating the suport inherited in BIOS)

  Downloaded all the drivers from the HP site and copied on DVD

  Record fell with drivers on the desktop

  installed the chipset driver sp73543.exe, restarted everything is fine

  Installed USB driver sp70645.exe, restarted everything is fine

  Then tried to install two network drivers downloaded for this laptop specific to HP for LAN and Wireless support Web site:

  RTL8723BE/RTL8188EE Realtek 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Drivers -sp69888.exe

  Realtek LAN (LAN) driver -sp68120.exe

  First tried to LAN, Ran exe, checked the license agreements, etc. and it started to install, after a few seconds and error message pops up:

  "FindFile failed.

  After the closure of this pop-up a new error message:

  "Realtek network controller is not found. If deep sleep Mode is activated Please cable.

  Then tried wireless installation, after that starting exe command winow popped up a few seconds showing:

  "Please wait for the installation.

  close the window after a few seconds, nothing after that

  After trying several times to install drivers with the same exact results I went by the process of reinstalling Windows and go thru the pilot again installation process with the exact same reslts. Downlaoed new drivers with same accurate results

  Clues as to what may happen?

  Thank you and my apologies for the wall of text

  Hello:

  Normally the ethernet driver will install if you do not first install the chipset driver.  Since you've done, it's a good question, why you notification of deep sleep.

  Try the driver ethernet directly from Realtek and see if it works... 3rd driver on the list.

  http://www.Realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?langid=1 & PNid = 13 & PFid = 5 & Level = 5 & Conn = 4 & DownTypeID = 3 & getdown = false

  Wireless should be easier to correct... parts list indicates that your laptop comes with an Intel 7260 AC wireless network adapter.

  I see no W7 wireless or bluetooth drivers listed for this card on the HP website for your laptop, so use the latest Intel.

  Wireless: 64-bit is the 2nd file on the left side of the Web page.

• Replacement of with SSD HD improves the battery life?

  MacBook Pro 13 "mid-2010.  My MBP is faking a bit slow compared with my Mac Pro 5.1 running an SSD as drive.  I have reviewed a SSD in the optical Bay Assembly or Assembly may be two SSD...

  How this may affect the life of the battery, is the original battery, I rarely use the MBP otherwise that plugged into the power, the count charge cycle is ~ 240.  If left for a week running but not connected, the MBP is run flat battery.

  Having two SSDS put more pressure on my battery or reduce his load? Whereas a Crutial 250 GB or two.

  A MBP will always run slower than a MacPro.

  SSD will affect the life of the battery for the better - less parts to be driven by the mobile battery

• Pavilion 15 - an058: replace hd with ssd on star wars Pavilion 15?

  I have a pavilion hp 15 - an058ca (the star wars one). I don't like that it has a drive in sata hard and want to put in an SSD. the thing is, I can't for the life of me understand how I would get it if I did. is this possible? everything else does? is there a technical documentation on how to get it? the manuals I can find via google are not quite the right model and seem to have a way somewhat different from getting in.

  I can see where I take the screws, I can see how to get the optical drive out and how to get live them their which set the top on the cd tray. I can even see how down the hind legs. but I don't see how to get the 'high' rest off. and it is apparently the only access?  Thanks for any advice you can give.

  On this one actually access you the base. See page 49 of this manual:

  The upgrade will be to endanger the guarantee but also as long as you can accept that, we will help in any way possible.

• Replacing HDD with ssd.

  Hello

  my laptop is Acer E5 - 573G, with 10 Windows in dual-boot with Kubuntu 14.04

  I think to replace the hard disk ssd, because Windows startup is very slow.

  I would like to know if this operation is very difficult, I've never used with laptops, but I set up my desktop pc.

  There is a guide on the internet for this operation?

  Thank you.

  It is not that hard, take your time and prepare yourself well, there is a video in German but easy to follow the procedure, be careful at 02:27 for the elimination of the seal of motherboard.

• you will need to merge with (same drive) c: drive d: drive.

  c: drive is full

  Unless you want to do a clean install of Windows (do your partitioning during installation), you will need partitioning software third party to do so. I usually use Acronis Disk Director, but there are others. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
