Replacement of disk for HP G61 - 420CA / Memmory

Series: [edited by mod on 11-08-14]

PRODUCT: WA968UA #ABC

MODEL: GG1 - 428 CA

Hi, I have a HP G62 - 420CA currently with a seagate 320 GB (SATA) without HARD drive and I was wondering if this drive is compatible with this system.

WD Blue 750 GB 2.5 "Laptop hard drive internal (WD7500BPVX)

Specs.

  • Capacity

Hello

Go through Page 1-2 on the maintenance manual: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=wxPoU5_zCtfm8AXVioKYAQ&url=http :// www.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01868653.pdf&cd=2&ved=0CBwQFjAB&usg=AFQjCNHjj0IIrsvkYnH4SCGGxGTtqCDiVA

According to the specifications page, up to 4 GB is max.

System came with / 3GB (1 GB + 2 GB), you can replace only the 1 GB with 2 GB.
Page 3-7 in the manual makes it clear that can only be used for CQ61 model 4 GB modules, so this means maximum 8GB in the manual is not applicable to your model, I guess.

There are two locations,
Config of RAM: DDR2 800 MHz PC2-6400 SDRAM SODIMM
Supports dual channel, you put two identical (size & config) RAM sticks for boost to performance.

Example of RAM-

HARD drive - 500 GB 5400 RPM SATA 3Gbps 2.5 "9.5 mm thickness compatible
But you can very well go for SATA 6 GB/s (they are backward compatible with 3Gbps) & 7200 RPM,.

It is a good thing for you:

Go through the Page 4-10, 11, 14 for the replacement procedure.

Hope I could help you,

Kind regards

  • 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.

    Hello Ladys and Gentleman,

    I need information on the HDD of the Satellite M30x 134. The point is the notebook of my girlfriend one need new hard drive and im not to stay in the same city. I have not found any information on the toshiba site. If anyone knows a site with information or know by experience, please say so. so I baught a new HDD before him go visit and fix it fast.

    What connection is used
    What voltage drive hard need
    and / or
    A replacement hard drive part number

    Many thanks in advance

    Hello

    I've checked a few threads here on the forum because these themes where already discussed and M30X needs an IDE HDD to my knowledge it s interface IDE (ATA-6)

    Marina has already suggested that some larger HDD (160 GB, 200 GB) might be unsupported and that he would not be recognized by the BIOS.

    This is why I would recommend checking some small s: drive HARD 80 GB & 100 GB

  • w540 replace the cd for a second hard disk drive?

    Hello

    I ordered the thinkpad w540 last week. With a dirve normal hard drive and a CD compartment. I figured out after the arrivied to the computer I got a solidsate inside my xps 15 hp.

    In the best of cases, I would replace the CD drive, as says the config in the web page in timeline option could be done. How could I know if it is possible to replace the CD player with another hard drive?

    Otherwise I would try to replace the original disk for the solid state hard drive, but in this case I loose windows system 8. Is is possible to install again in the new hard drive with the same license?

    I was wondering just because it would be nice to keep the drive inside your computer instead of having to plug it in all the time, due to the faster speed, it would be good to use is as the primary dirver.

    Thanks in advance,

    -Jorge

    Hi, Jorge

    you will need an adapter "caddy" to house the second HDD/SDD. Ch right here in the forum, see http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?location=forum-board%3AW_ThinkPads&q=caddy... .

    For my W540, I use the caddy of http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=555 and have a very good experience over the years (W510, W520, W540...).

    Regarding replace drive HARD original with SSD, there are basically two possibilities - either you use the recovery option (create your own media - see google or trying to get a Lenovo - not sure it will work) or use a transfer software. I have used for years Acronis products, especially because it acknowledges the SSD and aligns everything as it should on SSD (won't go now too deeply in the alignment of industry and to this day).

    And if you want to run your W540 on steroids, alias max possilbe storage capacity, see my signature...

  • G61 - 420CA: upgrade memory HP G61 - 420 a value to CA?

    I have a HP G61 - 420CA (Windows 10) older laptop that is slowing down and in order to further a few years out of it, I replaced the HD with a 250 GB SSD which increases performance a lot. The laptop max RAM is 4 GB of RAM (DDR2), but I have only 3 GB installed. Reload the ram to 4 GB will be no noticeable performance gain? Don't want to waste money if there is little or no gain... especially for the ram, that would be pretty useless for anything else.

    Hello

    A little and unnoticeable. With SSD, pagefile will better answer time so if you didn't know where you spend your money, you may want to replace 1 GB 2 GB to 4GB total.

    Thank you

    Hello Martin

    Unfortunately I was found no specific information. If I'm right, this unit needs 1.9 HDD and I think it can be much more expensive as 2.5 standard.

    Check it please this page http://www.laptopbits.co.uk/Database_files/Toshiba_Portege_2000_and_2010_series_spares.htm
    You will find a few pieces of upgrade for your device.

  • Someone know where I can find a disk for an older MacBook utility? It seems that Apple can't MacBook since 2007.

    Someone know where I can find a disk for an older MacBook utility? It seems that Apple can't MacBook since 2007.

    If you were able to call Apple support (after-sales applecare or apple?) and ask if they

    can know if you can still buy replacement system installation DVD of restoration for your MacBook

    they could tell you if it is possible if they have your serial number, to look further into it.

    • How to identify MacBook - Apple Support models

    • Find the serial number of your Apple - Apple Support product

    Depending on where you are, some support Apple or Apple Care facilities cannot

    be able to comply with a demand for vintage and filtering software obsolete spare.

    Some models introduced in 2007 started with 10.4 Tiger (with the version of the Intel-based OS)

    and went as far as Lion 10.7.5 as their higher upgrade system. All systems prior to 10.7

    usually included a system restore DVD media kit, gray-label of this Mac-specific disks.

    If you bought the computer in 2007, it may have been a year of construction 2006 model, in order to

    be able to identify the computer model exactly, the discovery of a boot of replacement keys is

    DVD that can also be used to prepare the computer for a replacement of the HDD, etc.. The

    utility disc on the DVD installation-restoration is an important tool; so is the installation disc & software.

    A detail of (if any) the system drive on the computer, if those who took on DVD

    would be a bootable disk utility version in the installation program. The DVD of grey original label

    media can be found in resale, are used or old stock, published initially with a Mac, new.

    Places online like Amazon may be able to provide the specific software package if you knew

    exactly the part numbers your computer had when new on these original discs.

    Serial number of Mac news - your Apple series number search:

    https://www.PowerBookMedic.com/identify-Mac-serial.php

    If you identify a number before contacting Apple computers on-line software resellers

    You may be able to narrow down. In addition, if identify the computer exactly, there may be some

    This time DVD media (exact details, new or used; original gray-replacement of labels, used.)

    And finally, if the computer running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and he is older than the date of this

    OS X system, you could buy a DVD of Snow Leopard 10.6.3 retail on Apple Store online, to get

    http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/Mac-OS-x-106-Snow-Leopard

    the installation program which has a utility disk in the package. You start from the DVD to use these

    utilities include in the installation program. It can also erase everything. If the computer shipped with the

    last supported OS X installed 10.7, who no doubt had a key task to install USB, not a restore DVD.

    Later computers have their built-in OS X Recovery, a partition on the hard drive which has the OS X

    Utilities and a way to go online for the software of system recovery and restore without media disks.

    Nothing is as simple as it sounds. the first thing is to correctly identify the computer; If you call

    Apple (depending on where you are in the world), results may vary. their after-sales service or Apple

    Nobody care may be able to help or tell you that they cannot, on the basis of the serial number.

    In any case...

    Good luck & happy computing!

  • 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.

    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?

  • Compellent SAN - replacement of disks not assigned

    I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem with my compellent san. I had a hard drive crash and bought a replacement, when I put it in it sees the drive, but it is not attributed. When I'm going to assign it to the folder I get an error message "an error has occurred trying to mark it as the object of spare (identified as" ") Impossible to spare 24 disc unclassified." Is there something that I am missing? This unit is a little older and dell no longer supports readers. I'd like suggestions on this.

    Thank you

    You get a player who "belong" in your system.

    I got replacement disks sent me (under load)

    they came in the older disk for envelopes «Xyratex» caddy

    I swapped the caddy of disk with the failed drive from the SC200.

    The HDS did not recognize this drive. bad manufacturer error if I remember correctly.

    they sent a replacement which came in a Dell disk caddy and it worked as expected.

    Firmware of the drive...?

    All old drive will not work.

    (if they did I would buy the Seagate Constellation 3TO 7.2 k drives online for $300 instead of nearly $ 1000 Dell!)

  • Try to migrate from the hard disk for ssd drive

    Hello, 4 days ago I bought dell inspiron with windows 8.1 5748 and a 1 TB hard drive.

    I also bought samsung 250 GB of ssd drive 840EVO to replace the disk of 1 TB of the laptop. I cloned the HARD disk drive and restored the image in the ssd drive and when I mounted the SDS disc and shot to the top of the laptop I got an error that it cannot detect a drive... Press F2 to enter setup F5 for diagnostics and F1 to reboot.

    First I made sure to rise properly. After I checked I entered the bios where I noticed that the drive is recognized in the details of the system. The model was correct, the capasity as well. Fashion was ahci.

    I ran the diagnostics and they couldn't locate a drive.

    So, is this an incompatibility? I checked for updates to the bios and I see I m to date on that. The player is surelly ok as I have tested on another pc...

    What can I do?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Add1ctiv3,

    We recommend that you use the recovery disks that are you ready when you got your system to restore the image of the original on the SSD hard drive. Since they have the same size, it should work without problem.

  • Is it possible to make a password reset disk for windows 7 by using windows 8?

    Original title: password reset disk

    Is it possible to make a password reset disk for windows 7 by using windows 8. The reason why I ask this is because our Toshiba satellite laptop was stolen when our House was robbed. Fortunately the police recovered the laptop, but the password has been changed and we cannot use it. In the meantime, we have replaced the old laptop with a new one that has windows 8. I made a password reset disk using this, but it won't work on the old laptop.

    any advice would be great

    Best regards, Ian

    Hi Ian,

    You can create a password reset disk only when you are able to log on or access Windows 7 computer and after you have created a password for the same.

    Windows 8 password reset disk can be used only in Windows 8 computer where you created the password and not for Windows 7.

    You must create a Windows password reset disk before you forgot your password. You must also create a new password reset disk when you change your password in Windows.

    If you the administrator password are changed and is not a password reset disk or another administrator account, you will not be able to change or reset the password.

    For more information, see the articles:

    Create a password reset disk

    What to do if you forget your Windows password

    You can also read the articles and check if it helps.
