  How to replace the hard drive in this notebook?

  Hello

  If I remember well HDD is under the optical media drive. Optical media drive is fixed with a screw that you see above the player. Remove the screw and remove the drive from the Bay.

  HARD drive is fixed, I think, 4 screws (probably black). When the screws are removed you can use two fingers to remove the HDD from the connector plug. I hope you now know how to put the new HARD drive.

  Good bye

• Guide: replace the HDD with SSD, Lenovo Y480

  Lenovo
  That's how I replaced my HDD with a SSD in my Lenovo Y480. I did it immediately, so there is no user file to consider. I used a key from Lenovo recovery. Read this guide in its entirety before starting.

  Execution time: about an hour.

  Items, you will need:

  -Y480 Lenovo

  -New SSD (I chose a Mushkin Chronos Deluxe because my research lead me to conclude that it is the best available from June 2012)

  -Small Phillips screwdriver

  -Butter knife or similar to remove the HARD drive. There is not much space for your fingers in there.

  -DVD-r blank

  Step 1

  Turn on the computer.

  Step 2

  Write the number '1' on a blank DVD-R and insert into the optical drive.

  Step 3

  Press the small button just to the right of the power button. This launches a recovery key.

  Step 4

  Follow the instructions on the screen to make restore disks. I chose the factory restore option, which required three DVD - Rs. label each disc with numbers to let you know in what order to use them later. Once it is finished, place back #1 DVD into the optical drive.

  Step 5

  Physically remove the hard drive and insert the SSD drive by following the instructions below.

  1. turn off and unplug your computer, flip upside down.
  2. remove the battery.
  3. remove the access panel by removing the two screws and slide.
  4. remove the two screws that hold the hard drive carrier.
  5 remove the hard drive by lifting upward. There is a right angle SATA adapter plugged into the hard drive. This card just came out with the hard drive.
  6 disconnect the hard drive adapter and plug it on the SSD.
  7 unscrew the hard drive bracket and screw it on the SSD.
  8 put the SSD drive in the Bay, screw the support down and replace the access panel. Be sure to screw it up.
  9. replace the battery, lock.

  Step 6

  If you did not already the first recovery DVD in the optical drive, use a paper clip to open the optical drive and insert the diskette. Close the drawer, then turn on the computer to start the restoration.

  Step 7

  Select the boot drive by pressing F12 when you see the Lenovo logo during startup, and then select the optical/DVD drive in the list.

  Step 8

  Follow the instructions on the screen. The first time that I did, restoration impossible immediately, probably because of a missing partition. However, after restarting the computer by performing a battery pull, then continue to step 6 restore completed successfully.

  I have not compared this drive, but I can tell you that the Windows experience index is 7.9 and startup time is 24 seconds now. The base index is 6.8 for this system now.

  You will find that Windows has already helped TRIM. However, regular defragmentattion was still on. I think that the system restore has been disabled automatically.

  Good luck

  Matt

  I saw no option for this, and I was quite surprised, that he didn't do it automatically. I'm not an expert on everything, so what follows is a guess.

  Perhaps that if you create a partition on the SSD first, recovery will recognize and use it.

• replace the HDD with SDDS in pavllion HP DV7

  I have laptop HP DV7. recently my hard drive creates a few (ratllle nosie) nosie and I rebooted my system again... I didn't ERROR no bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key...

  I have googled this error and understadn the hard drive died... am outside the warranty period. I decided to replace my HDD with SDS... I don't know if I can do it?

  I got tosibha MK6461GSYN HARD drive. I would like to replace with SDDS and reinstall the OS from another software...

  Hello

  There are two parts: hardware and software. For hardware, it will take 5 to 10 minutes, but for the software that can take several hours, days or even weeks. To shorten the task of software, my suggesion: order the recovery disks on HP and put your machine into factory settings. You can continue from there.

  UPDATE: I just did the swap HDD/SDD in the Aspire E5-432. It is very easy to do.

  It starts now less than 15 seconds. Much snappier.

  Prepare the SDS:

  1 installation Drive Clone or as software

  2 connect the SDS, via USB and to clone the HDD to SDS - cloning took about 1 1/2 hours with a USB2 cable

  Note: leaving the size of the partition that DriveClone wouldn not (not enough message space), I reduced the main partition of about 400 MB and everything went well

  Remove the HARD drive:

  1. power off the laptop, remove all the screws from the bottom and crack open

  2. a screw holds the HARD drive in case tray, remove

  3. a screw holds the USB/audio jack PCB, remove it

  4. on the audio jack USB PCB, lift the lever to release for USB/audio cable

  5. on the motherboard, raise the white lever for USB/audio cable that is stuck on the plateau of HARD drive

  6. remove the taking USB/audio PCB and right speaker held in place with eyelets pink silicone

  7. slide the HARD drive to the right tray, can he get out of it

  8. remove the 2 screws from the HARD drive tray

  9 FLEX tray by pressing the top middle holding the sides, push the HARD drive from the open side. Trying to force the HARD drive does not work out with tools

  Do the reverse steps to put SDS in, reboot, enjoy!

  In my opinion after Exchange of HDD with SSD, you must install the original recovery image and start using your laptop with the 'settings '.

• Compaq Presario CQ42-234TU: replace the HDD with SSD

  Hi, I want to know if I can replace the HARD drive with one Sumsung EVO 850 500 GB SSD, if not what other SSD can be used?

  Yes, but it's a lot of money to spend on a laptop that is likely worth less than the cost of the SSDS (about $175 I guess). The specifications of this model are in the end very low what can even run an SSD efficiently. The SSD will help, but the money could be better spent on a new machine.

• Replace the HDD with a SSD

  Hi, I am a new consumer of HP and I would like to replace the HARD original with an SSD drive. The question is:

  If I do that, then I lost the warranty? (In English)

  Salvo, sono a nuovo consumatore di prodotti HP e sapere I wanted is sostituendo Hard disk capacity guarantee del PC original, grazie. (Italian)

  Hello:

  Unfortunately, there is no redress related to the support page and the driver of your laptop, so I have no idea whether or not you can do the job yoursel without voiding the warranty.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-15-R200-notebook-PC-series/7486447/model/7835232/manuals

  I suppose the easy way to say would be that if your laptop is a service door Bay on the bottom of the PC, you should be able to replace the disk hard if you see after removing the cover of the service Bay.

  If it's a solid background and without visible access panels, so it would be a model where access the disk cannot be done by an authorized service center.

  There is a manual related to the series 15-r000.  It is the series of model closer to you to your model.

  According to the manual, it seems you need to take about the portable unit departed and arrived at practice.

• Replace the HDD with SSD boot disk and use the disk HARD now as secondary storage

  I would like to replace my dv7 - 6143cl HDD with a SSD boot drive and using the OEM HARD drive as secondary storage.

  I have the SSD and the caddy

  I need to:

  delete the original OEM HD

  Install the SSD

  install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

  Install Win 7 (I don't have install disks - what is on the HARD drive in his backup partition)

  or I have to

  delete this HD

  Install the SSD

  go into the BIOS, and then assign him drive in AHCI (etc.)

  Install Win 7

  install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

  etc.

  I want to dual-boot, if possible, but I think that the second HD (start-up disk) does not start, even if I change the settings in the BIOS

  is this true?

  Thank you very much

  Hello:

  Your BIOS is set to AHCI (or RAID) by default. It cannot be changed.  Look in your device manager and in the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section, look to see if there is a controller SATA ACHI he.

  If so, you have an AHCI BIOS default.

  If you go further down the line in Device Manager and see a section of storage controllers, click on that, you would see a SATA RAID controller and your BIOS is set to default RAID.

  I don't have your model laptop so I don't know if HP has implemented some models double disk RAID or AHCI.

  So... First, copy your original C:\ drive SWSetup folder and save that to a portable hard drive. That must contain all the files installation for the drivers and the software provided with your PC. You can search this folder for programs that you may want to reinstall after your new SSD drive HARD primary.

  To install W7 on your SSD, check your own install of W7 disc.  Here's how:

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  Can't answer your question on the dual boot as I never did before.
