Replacement HP Pavilion HDD.

My friend HP Pavilion needed the replaced HARD disk Seagate twice since buying 13 months ago.  This time, we have decided to replace the standard Seagate 750 GB HDD with a Western Digital HARD drive 1.5TB.  The WD HARD drive detects very well in installation and diagnosis HP tools; System recovery seems to work as well, but when it comes to set up Windows, the system acts as if there is no hard drive in the system.  Running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.

Apparently the problem lies in the system recovery software - it has not set up to handle the large disks (whatever it is 1 TB or more) and HP is not updated configurations on system recovery software they produce today.  In other words, their systems are not intended to be upgraded, or if you are upgrading, the updates will not be supported.

Final verdict for the whole operation:

No matter what we tried to solve this problem of disk, it did not work (including the new installation of Windows).  We have finally break down and go to the dealer to exchange the Western Digital 1.5 TB drive for a Seagate 1 TB drive (checked HP that drives customer support 1 TB should be supported by the system restore CD).  The machine is back up and running, so now we hope this drive takes more than a year (or two or ten) crashing.  Let's wait and see, but in the meantime I recommend that people buy MAC (this coming from someone who has used under Windows and DOS computers for 25 years).

  • How to replace HP Pavilion 14-v044tx with SSD?

    Dear experts,

    I would like to replace HP Pavilion 14-v044tx HDD with SSD, but I can't seem to find SSD compatibility information.

    Here are a few questions and I hope that some of you could give advice:

    1. the list of SSD compatibility?

    2 may I know if it is compatible with Samsung Evo 840 250 Go?

    3. is there a guide on how to open the laptop?

    4. it will affect my warranty?

    Thanks and receive a response.

    Rgds,

    Sam

    Here is the Manual:

    Manual

    Replacement hard drive is on Page 51. The good news is Yes, you can install the Samsung 840 Evo. It is the one I would recommend actually. There is no list because fundamentally, the laptop is compatible with any 2.5 inches wide 7 or 9.5 mm thick SSD or HDD.

    The bad news is to replace the average hard drive almost complete disassembly of the laptop. Access to the bottom door exposes that RAM, no hard drive. And Yes, if you're wrong in the process that HP will stand behind the warranty.

    Thank you!

    I can't recommend a disk of 60 gigs. A base installation of Windows will run about 20 concerts and you have hibernation files and to restore files, applications (MS Office is 10 GIG more) and these and before you know it the drive will be full. You actually can't fill 100% so the actual capacity is above about 55 concerts. Yes, I'll tell you get a 128 gig. Here's a concert 128 for not much extra money:

    ----------

    Possibly related problem: a month ago, I had my first BSoD since the purchase of this laptop and back up the error driver conflict. (The HP wireless driver is in conflict with the Intel wireless driver AND wireless driver windows.) It was an easy fix and I've not had a BSoD since. I speak only because it happened shortly before the fan problems started.

    During the week following the driver problem, the fan is sometimes very hard. Soon, it was impossible to ignore. Finally, one morning I turned on my laptop and it gave me an error screen explaining that the fan was not working properly. (Unfortunately, I forgot to write the error message before off.) I turned it on again because I really need to do some work, and the fan was quiet until he end of the initialization of Windows, then the noise started again. I quickly turned it off to avoid overheating.

    I tried to clean my fan with the typical technique of blowing-air. That did not stop the noise. I found this manual from this page on the HP website. After the manual I disassembled my laptop and clean any dust that I could find. The fan was a little dust inside, so I go back the laptop and he did it again. Unfortunately, the noise continued.

    So I decided to order a new fan. Using the same manual, I found the the product number of the fan page 90 (which is in fact the page 98 of the PDF). Because my computer has an Intel processor and the graphics card Radeon has 1 GB of memory separate, I ordered the fan with the part number 641477-001 from this Amazon page, that meets these specifications.

    Replacement fan arrived two days ago and I took my laptop apart this afternoon to put it in.

    That IS THE PROBLEM: When I took out the old fan, I noticed a sticker on it that says:

    REPLACE WITH HP SPARE

    650797 001

    CX116O

    But 650797-001 is the fan for laptops with a graphics card of Radion with 2 GB memory discreet! No 1 GB! My laptop seems to be entered with the wrong early fan!

    I immediately called HP customer support. After almost 2 hours on the phone and make up for a product manager, that's what he told me:

    "Since your laptop was an order custom, fan 650797-001 has been used instead of the fan 641477-001 because it has a higher RPM." (Paraphrase).

    When I asked why it was necessary, I was told this:

    "You ordered need CPU fan faster to keep it cool." (Once again, to paraphrase the explanation).

    I was quoted $193 so that it sets 1 to 2 business days ship the box for it and 3 to 5 business days to ship it back. I asked to order the fan 650797-001 and made myself instead, but he told me that HP does not allow customers to order fan parts and seemed surprised that I was able to order one at all.

    I already without my laptop for 3 weeks and the cost of replacement fan $66. Even assuming that I get a refund for the fan, I'm not sure I can afford another week or more without my cell phone.

    I am so here for a second opinion.

    ARE the MY QUESTIONS:

    If my laptop order is supposed to have 1 GB of memory separate, why is he with this fan? (I felt like the explanation I got technical support is designed to force me to leave and pay).

    I can argue it's lack of HP for the use of the wrong fan for this Radeon card and at least get a discount on repairs?

    Is anyone aware of a place that I can control the fan 650797-001 and do it myself for less money? (Amazon does not appear to have one).

    ----------

    I lose my patience and want to fix things. Let me know if I need to provide any additional information.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer!

    Hello LeviRK.

    You can not order more much of HP by phone, only a statement select bit.  However, HP provides other services to allow you to buy almost any part of the laptop.  The best resource is HP part Surfer.

    I took the freedom to search for the part you are looking for, 650797-001.  Class page for the party as is no longer available through HP and suggests the part number 665309-001.  The interview Guide & Service you already has all the other information you need.

    I hope this information helps.


  • Can I replace the MK2546GSX HDD with MK2576GSX

    Hello

    I have a laptop, Sony Vaio VGN-CR36G/B, which has the MK2546GSX from Toshiba HARD drive and chkdsk reports bad sectors in it. I would replace this hard drive, but I couldn't exactly find the product in the market to buy.

    Please can someone help me to find a replacement for Toshiba MK2546GSX?

    My questions are

    Can I replace Toshiba MK2546GSX with Toshiba MK2576GSX? Are they the same? Is there a difference in its connections or Sockets?

    or

    Can you suggest a replacement for Toshiba MK2546GSX?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thank you

    J

    First of all, you can use all the HDD from different manufacturers that are compatible with your laptop.

    The HARD drive TOSHIBA MK2546GSX seems to bear 250GB - 5400U/min and 7-pin S - ATA (SATA 150 MB/s)

    This means that your laptop supports the SATA controller and you should be able to also use the other SATA 2.5 SATA drives!

  • Portege R500 - PPR50E replacement of the HDD or SSD

    Hello

    The hard drive in my beloved Portege R500 is dead.

    The model is a Toshiba MK1237GSX and am looking for a compatible hard drive to replace it with conclusion that this exact model turns out to be difficult. You can also and my first choice would be to replace the HDD with a ssd drive - is this possible and any recommendation on model?

    Any help is very appreciated

    Thanks in advance

    Agree with Akuma.
    You need an SSD that supports the SATA interface.
    You need disc SSD SATA 2.5

  • Replacement of the HDD on the Satellite A60

    I have an old Toshiba Satellite A60. The old 30 GB Toshiba HDD (MK3025GAS) died. I bought a 60 GB Toshiba HDD (MK602GAX) as a replacement.

    My problem is that I can't get the bios to see the new drive and start with it. "For the old disk bios dead says under ' built in HDD = Primary IDE (1F0H/IRQ14). With the new HARD drive it says "built on the disk HARD = No. Drive'."

    Using a cd, I installed Ubuntu on the new HARD drive. The ubuntu installation cd sees the new HARD drive and allows me to format it and install Ubuntu. When the installation is complete, and I try to start Ubuntu, nothing happens, and the menu of the Bios still displays "built on the disk HARD = No. Drive'."

    If I run Ubuntu from a cd I can 'explorer' 60 GB HARD drive and see all the installed files of Ubuntu. I can't boot the PC from the HARD disk or just to get the BIOS to recognize his presence.

    I'm a bit confused and don't know what to do. Ideas anyone?

    For me, this looks like a compatibility issue. Unfortunately there is no public document where we can find info on all compatible disks.
    To be honest I m really wondering why the new HARD drive is not recognized correctly. Problem, is that you can not force laptop recognize each RAM or HARD drive.

    What to do now?
    I put t think some update of the BIOS will help so I m afraid you must get a new or another HDD and test if it works or not.
    I presume that this 60 GB HARD disk was not new, right?

  • Question of replacement HP Pavilion M6 HD

    The HD in my Pavilion M6 is a failure; I want to replace it with something faster. Specifically, I'm looking at the Seagate 1 TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6 GB/s 64 MB Cache 2.5 ST1000LM014. Will this work for my laptop?

    I have replaced hundreds of hard drives of laptop and these questions are overthinking the issue, but there is no such thing as a bad question so I answer. Your computer has a GB/s SATA-III 6.0 interface. There is no maximum capacity. You can install any player portable SATA not thicker than 9.5 mm market, which I think are now available up to 2 TB. The original drive is 9.5 mm but 7 mm drives have SATA connectors and mounting holes in the same task and will run just below in the caddy. 7 mm discs works perfectly. You are looking at is 9.5 mm same as the original drive. The only problem is with thin ultrabooks which can take only 7mm readers; 9.5 will not match those. And finally, yes you can use an SSD and if you're inclined to spend premium dollars, I highly recommend it, but that you have chosen is a hybrid that is faster than a mechanical drive standard and not much more expensive.

  • ProBook replace 450 G1 HDD/SSD

    Hello

    I want to upgrade my ProBook 450 G1 E9Y39EA with an SSD. So my tought, I have replace the HARD original with the SSD drive and I take ot the optical drive and I put the HARD drive in place, through a Caddy. But in my understanding, the height of the optical drive is 9, 5mm, while the Toshiba HDD (which comes with the s) is about 10 mm (0.4 in).

    So my question, is this a problem, or the HARD drive will fit just right?

    Thanks in advance!

    Not exactly. The HARD drive will fit in a caddy ODD of 9.5 mm.

    https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

    You have the right idea. In the caddy/adapter optical drive is not bootable and will roll at a slightly slower speed, still good enough for storage crude but does not for the operating system running. Put the SSD in the computer and the old HDD in the adapter optical caddy.

  • Replacing HP Pavilion-e070sl hard drive with an ssd, how to re - install windows 8 64?

    Hello

    I recently buyed a Hp Pavilion-e070sl delivered pre-installed with W 8 64 and I need to know how the name of God how can I reinstall the operating system, since there was no installation dvd disc in the box? Or better (if we exclude the recovery manager and windows recovery disk), if somehow the hard drive does not work and I can't revive the laptop only by replacing one damaged by a new, how do I re - install the OS? And no, I want to order and pay twice.

    Any idea will be useful.

    Thanks in advance.

    You are the very welcome.

    Try to do the recovery with your old hard drive first media and see if it would work.

    If this isn't the case, then I guess you have nothing to lose to see if the English version of the W8 will be install and activate it, but I don't know if you can change the language.

    If you can, great.
