  Hello

  You can run a test on your hard drive to make sure if its in a State of operation or do not use the link below

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00439024

  If the above test fails, you will need to replace the hard drive. You can buy the hard drive by going to the HP service center or any place where you want. To reinstall the operating system, you will need to buy the recovery disk set by calling HP techinical support.

• Pavilion a1230n w XP: Replace hard disk & recovery disks don't work

  Replace hard disk & recovery disks do not work. Create the new partition & Microsft Recovery Console ONLY the options available on the disk recovery TOOLS. Recovery of Microsoft stops at the page "Preparing the system to install Windows XP".  Pressing enter at this stage of the results in "cannot find EULA" message & turns off the computer... already old version of XP (media center) via another set of discs, but want software HP original back!

  If it starts from the cd Recovery Tools but not the recovery DVDs, then you can have a bad set. Of course, it could be laser dvd in your CD/DVD drive too. The dvd function works before reinstallation?

  Don't see them not listed in HP longer, but are available HERE for $27

• Satellite M40X-189 - replace HARD disk - what size should I go to?

  Hi, I have a SATELLITE M40X-189, I would like to replace the hard drive and would like if possible some recommendations!
  I know I need an ide/pata and I currently have a hard disk of 40 GB hitachi 5400 rpm installed. The memory is just what came installed originally, (512 MB, no upgrade).

  So what size I can up to?
  I have a lot of music/photos and video to change so must also size decent 80 GB would be enough?
  I really don't use it for anything other than that, and also the navigation on the internet. Although I often have a few programs running at the same time which causes problems... freeze, (in particular I tunes) and generally slow running.

  I'm confident on the physical replacement, and I know how to clone my old drive hard etc, but just need some info about the size and speed and if possible
  a recommendation of the manufacturer. Just worried about incompatibility really issues.

  Also, if you think I should install more memory, which size and make and model may recommend.

  Thank you in advance!

  Denise.

  Hi mate

  First he must know that this question have been posted a lot of time in the forum.
  If you want to use the search option, then you will find this thread for example:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=68287

  Is the M40X series supports the IDE controller and I think that you need a 2.5 IDE HDD.
  The old ide controllers are limited to 128 GB with 28-bit LBA
  However, you can take an 80 GB or 120 GB HARD drive and it should work fine

• Error - 10008 # replace hard disk 1

  I'm sure that my hard drive has become bad, other messages that I read.

  I don't have any data out of this device.  In fact, I was about to start deleting old data so I could give this device to a family in need.  Went to start the computer to start this process.  However, when I went to do this, he went to BSOD.  Messed with it a bit, then I got BSOD.  I have fillany calculate to run the test and got the 10008 # replace 1 hard disk error.

  As always, I want to give to this family that laptop, my question is: where I could buy a cheap replacement hard drive.  Is it difficult to do? And I don't think I have a back up / but on the operating system installation disk.  I have to do to get us to open and it would be affordable.

  I'm totally willing to put in the work to get to the top and go, but was woundering if anyone would be willing to give me some instructions on how to do it.

  Thank you 1 million for all advice and assistance.

  Hello

  Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new drive HARD, here are two options.

  1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• SMART Hard Disk Error - replace hard disk?

  A couple of days, I got an error when I start my computer (HP Pavilion dv6-6071eo), saying "SMART hard disk error" followed by a message telling me that SMART disk check has detected and imminent failure. He told me to my backup files, and then press F2 and do a hard drive test. On the last row, it displays "Hard Disk 1 (301).

  I tried to run the hard drive test, which does not instantly. I also ran the BIOS hard drive test. It meets the short test without problem and then stopped quite some time after the long trial began with the error "Disk Hard 1 full 305. My computer has also been slow over the last week.

  From what I've read so far, it seems that I need to replace my hard drive. Is this correct? If so, it would be a suitable replacement (functional): http://www.dustinhome.se/product/5010151237/western-digital-black-2-5-320gb-7200rpm-sata-300-16mb/#i.... Also, would it not interesting (and possible) upgrade to an SSD for reduction of noise and heat, which is a problem with this laptop (and several other portable simular at HP) compared to other laptops.

  In addition, it might be good to mention that my warranty has expired.

  Have you checked to see if there is a free space left on the hard drive? A complete hard drive will make the system work very slowly and it may also keep the system working properly if it is fairly comprehensive. The fact that you take the short test means that there is nothing major to mechanically wrong with the drive. Just right-click on the icon for the main C:\ drive likely "computer: and select 'Properties'.» If the disc is not actually full, then I suggest to replace. If you can afford a SSD, Yes, there is no doubt that is the way to go. There is nothing wrong on one ssd, other than an occasional fight to install it. I have been using SSD for awhile and I had installation problems we often see reported here, but do not be discouraged, we are here to help.

• HP dv6500 - replace hard disk?

  I have HP dv6500 for over 2 years now and I am outside the warranty period.

  -VISTA Home basic

  Recently, ny computer started freezing after every 15-20 minutes and it was not usable, I had to reboot always out...

  I ran the BIOS disk HARD diagnose - it says "Replace hard drive".

  I called HP support - but they were not willing to help with hardware issues, without any mandate that costs ~ $ 350 +.

  That's why I thought to replace the HARD drive with a new one.

  Old SATA HDD: WD160GB

  New SATA HARD drive: Seagate 250 GB

  After replacing the HARD drive, I tried to restore the system using original HP recovery disks. It runs through the process of recovery - restart the computer several times - finally throws an error:

  "Unable to start Windows. Recent hardware or software change might be the cause. »

  "file:/Windows/system32/Boot/winload.exe status: 0xc000000f" info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or currept

  I would appreciate any help/advice/pointers for this problem...

  Thank you

  Guy - FYI

  The problem is resolved.

  It was a prob with the std HP recovery disk such that it comes with the default display driver. But my laptop had NVIDIA GeForce 8400 M GS and the drivers where missing in the original disc. I ordered the HP disk drivers. After that the installation was smooth though it took almost seven hours for a recovery complete.

• Replacement hard disk for Pavilion a1410n.

  I have Pavilion a1410n desktop. Only the changes that has been done is upgrading the memory to 3 GB.

  The hard drive in the computer, which is a 200 GB (SATA) has been restored several times, which does not give me much space left. I am wanting to replace the hard drive with a larger. What is the most important I can go with, without causing a lot of problems? Can I put a 500 GB or more of this computer?

  I have the restore disc that I ordered for this return of the computer when I bought it. So, I would not have problems with drivers and others. Am I right in assuming that if I leave the restore disc to do their work, it configures the disk partitions and all?

  Please can someone answer back me as soon as possible. I need to return this computer running as soon as possible.

  Hello:

  I don't know the answer to your questions, except to say that no hard drive (at least in Windows Help) has never its total size available.  And the larger the hard drive, there seems to be a larger piece of unusable space.

  Of what you have said, you still have a lot of free space available. Once your hard drive becomes 60-70% full, then it's time to look for a bigger.

  In addition, please note that if you do not install a bigger hard drive, you will not be able to put the partition recovery on it.

  Another idea for you would be to install a new drive hard more to one that you have and use it to store your files, music, photos, etc on, and you can continue your the original one for the OS and programs.

  You will need to make sure that if you do that, you buy a hard drive which comes with a cable SATA data.

  There should be another SATA power cable to hang it, and you would plug the data cable into the SATA port labeled SATA1.

  Just make sure you have a player available to install and screw location or what is needed to mount the drive inside the enclosure.

  To help you do this, I enclose the link to your guide of upgrade and maintenance, which will give you step by step instructions on how to open the case and install the various components, including hard drives.

• Dv6 hard disk 3F0 problem

  I have a HP DV6-6001TX with the 6770 m GC. I tried to boot my laptop for a while now, but every time he says hard disk not detected and undetected boot device. I tried to secure the connection from the HARD disk several times without success. What should I do now?

  Hello

  It is perhaps that your hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

  As a new trial and to help eliminate a problem with the Sata controller, try the following.

  Follow the procedure below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in part 3 of 'Try' to see if the operating system is running.  The option 'Try' runs the operating system from the CD without having to install on your HARD drive.  If it works Ok (it will be slow running on a CD), this would tend to confirm that the problem is only with the HARD drive.

  http://www.Ubuntu.com/desktop/get-Ubuntu/download

  If your laptop is still under warranty, you can contact HP and arrange for the replaced HARD disk - you can check your warranty status.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

  Kind regards

• SMART hard disk error after replacing HD

  Hello!

  I SO hope that this someboidy is able to help me.

  I'm NOT a novice but I am confused.

  I replaced with the same model HD HD CQ58 provided with COMPAQ because the old HD was shot - how it happened escapes me.

  Anyhoo, after screwing a new HD I wanted to put OS on it, but I get the following error just after pressing set button / stop:

  I tried the LINK, it does not exist.

  I also went in the Boot Options in the BIOS to boot from a USB and put the USB HD in the first place.

  When I restart it does not recognize a USB key. I tried Windows 8 and UBUNTU which ususally works on all the machines I've fixed so far.

  No chance whatsoever.

  As I mentioned earlier:

  I'm puzzled.

  I have no recovery CD and cannot make one because I'm not running Win8 on any of my PC.

  Thus, any suggestions?

  Help, please

  Thanks in advance

  Henry of Kai

  First of all:

  Thank you all very much for taking the time and you answer!

  And now, for what happened after I did all what has been proposed:

  Nothing.

  The message remained the same.

  Still no hard drive (even if it was new)

  Then I took a hard drive to work with Win7 on it from another machine, put it in the Compaq and... nothing.

  I tried the USB with Win8 (NTFS with Rufus) does not.

  I don't know why, I tried again, but when I used the same USB with UBUNTU Live - 14.04. on that I had taken or tried before... He recognized at startup.

  Weird hard drive wiped completely since it was not recognized by the BIOS (one with Win7 on it... data paths but I had backup ).

  So, now I'm running the faithful Tahr on the Compaq and it works fine.

  I will try to put the original Win8 on it, but the system doesn't seem like more since USB NTFS NTFS are not recongised at startup.

  Well Anyhoo, I got the machine to work.

  Would have been nice to know what was wrong with him to solve future problems, but at least I had to register in this forum

  So I could bore you guys with questions in the future.

  Take care

• Satellite L850 - how to replace a HARD disk recovery partition?

  Hello.

  Toshiba laptop Satellite L850. PSKDGA-02Y012. The original HARD drive has failed in his colleagues even mobile, so we replaced the two HARD drive after you have created a recovery USB. When used to restore the operating system to original status of OOB.
  That has worked and portable runs much, but now I want to BACK the recovery partition (now only on the USB I think) for the new HARD drive.

  Simple to shrink the disk HARD C: (partition 2) on the HARD disk, but then how to transfer twhats on the USB (USB recovery stick) back on the HARD drive?

  Thanks for any help.

  Karim...

  Hello karim

  When you buy the notebook you will get it with preinstalled operating system (recovery image). Original recovery image is saved on the HARD disk on the recovery partition.
  Each owner of the laptop has option to make the backup recovery image and create recovery media. It could be the DVD or USB support. You can do this by using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool.
  This tool will create bootable recovery media that can be used for the installation of original image recovery if there is problem with the installation of image disk HARD recovery or when the drive is defective and must be replaced.

  Where the HARD drive is faulty and should be replaced or the owner of the laptop to upgrade HARD drive, you can install original image created using recovery recovery media (USB). After installing recovery image, you will have the same situation as for the first boot after the purchase of the laptop. With other words notebook will have factory settings again.

  In this case original recovery image is already copied onto the new HARD drive and you will also be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery. There is therefore no reason to copy a recovery on HARD drive media.
  Please note: installation of HARD drive recovery works with the factory only settings.

  If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

  Good luck.

• Replacement of the HARD disk on Equium A100-337 - installation of operating system recovery disc?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 337 Vista Premium. Unfortunately, the HARD drive died in it and it is out of warranty.

  I have the recovery CD and it have used before so know this works.

  I intend to put in a HARD drive replacement, but looking around, I can get a much better deal on something like maxtor/WD/seagate.
  It would be a problem for the recovery CD?

  In addition, the original disk is 60 GB - but if possible, while I replace in any case, I like to put in a bigger. What worries me is if the recovery CD is for 60 GB image pre - and then the rest of a larger HARD drive would be just wasted space? (if indeed it would even work in the first place)

  Someone else put in a brand/different size of HDD and used the successfully recovery CD? I have to admit not knowing much about how does the recovery process, pointers on that would be appreciated also.

  See you soon.

  A different size will be fine. Not sure about the different makes it well, but as far as I know, as long as it has the same interface as the original HARD disk, and then you'll be fine.

  A Yes, the recovery works on a more than 60 GB HARD drive.

  I hope this helps.
