Replacement of Pavilion g7 - 2233cl HDD with SSD?

I have a Pavilion g7 - 2233cl that the HARD drive has failed recently, was planning to move to an SSD. I'm trying to figure if the SSD I look is compatible with my machine.

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:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Instructions for the replacement of 1 TB of HDD with Samsung EVO 1 TB SSD in XPS 15

    Can anyone recommend a set of instructions to replace the factory equipped 1 TB HDD with a SSD 1 TB in a XPS 15 (9530, model end 2013)?  I thought it might be a simple case of the SSD HARD drive cloning and exchanging players, but when I did it I got an error message at startup saying that I needed to make a repair - I na not to note the exact error, but he asked for the Windows installation disc.

    I don't really want to do a new install of Windows from scratch, unless absolutely necessary.

    Thanks a lot in anticipation!

    Hi Paulemm,

    You must use the Dell backup utility and restore to prepare a set of recovery disks. Those can then be used to load the operating system on the new drive. This is the best approach.

  • Z560 - replace the HDD with SSD - solved using OneKey Recovery

    Hey guys,.

    In a few days time Santa is put me an SSD, OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB.

    I think to clone the drive following this guide: http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-hdd-to-ssd-with-windows-7s-own-software and I'm a little confused on the partitions that are currently on the disk.

    I have:

    Local disk C: 552,55 gb,

    LENOVO 28.8 GB D:

    and a partition unassigned 14.75 GB.

    Does anyone know what contains the unassigned partition? I guess that's the One - Key recovery software? If this is the case, then I intend on deleting the D: Partition, which currently contains drivers, narrows the C:\ about 100 GB and cloning then the C:\ 100 GB and partition unassigned... will this work?

    Bravo guys!

    Rastaman

    Hey guys,.

    I got my Vertex 3 today and it is ridiculously fast. Totally recommend it if you can afford it. Anyway, I discovered how do I reinstall my laptop, and I'm going to ask you now:

    (1) One Key Recovery Opened and clicked on 'create recovery disk', followed by 'default recovery drive '.

    (2) thought - sod it, I'll just stay in my new SSD and see what happens. Inserted, set the BIOS to boot from the DVD drive, and then install windows.

    (3) gain?

    In fact, I found myself with

    C:\ 96,84 GB

    Partion unnamed (14, 75 GB) - this is the area of a key recovery

    Unnamed (200 mb) - partition likely etc boot sector reserved by operating system - seen elsewhere on other systems and is quite normal!

    So yes, that happened on a NEW SSD building, which had not been formatted before - OneKey Recovery did everything by himself.

    I hope this helps people in the future!

    Merry Christmas!

  • Replace the HDD with SSD in 15-j171nr

    I want to do an Exchange standard by removing the 750 GB 5400 RPM SATA HDD and replace it with a 250 GB SSD. What I want to know is if I take out the HARD drive and 24 GB SSD cache, I may be able to upgrade with a 8 GB of additional ram, since I no longer have conflict with the hybrid hard drive?

    Yes No problem. You could indeed move to 16 GB of RAM, even with the current configuration. However, the powerful optimal configuration is an SSD in the location of primary SATA hard drive and no WSSD and 16 GB of RAM.

  • HP laptop - 15-ay107ne: replace the HDD with SSD

    Hello, I am aiming to change my HARD drive with an SSD on my HP laptop. But the licensed operating system and recovery are shipped at the disk of existting on my machine. Is it possible to move them to an SSD and reinstall the OS on the SSD?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    No, the licensed operating system isn't on the old HDD, is so on the BIOS of your machine you can install SSD of fees if you wish. Pleae Note: you can install olny a swme version/edition of Windows 10.

    The quick and easy way:

    1 creating the USB drive recovery using HP Recovery Manager then return files after installing the SSD.

    2 clone existing HARD drive SSD using cloning software, then exchange them.

  • 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.

  • Win7pro Activation fails after replacing the HDD with SSD on HP Mini 5102, SP1 would be the issue?

    Hi all

    Displays the first time here, be it a Sunday I can't contact customer service...

    I bought my HP a few months ago and had an Indilinx SSD detached from my updates. Think the mini 5102 would be the best place to put the Indilinx (G2 Intel went in the largest notebook).

    After going through the pain of a full reinstall (best way for ssd), , I had the machine works very well with all the updated drivers and updates to the OS, but have obviously forgotten to activate (as it appears on the system properties page). I thought the network would be the best place to get the last of my tasks of re.

    BTW, factory installed Windows 7 Pro 32 bit...

    So I have just run the activation routine and do NOT have! Using the initially installed key.

    1. Could this have caused the bone now have Service pack 1?
    2. Could it be changing right on HARD for one SSD drive?

    Should I call Microsoft or HP?

    (I have the disk HARD original (with intact BONES) for the replacement if necessary).

    With thanks and greetings from the Australia,.

    Here is the Service Manual of the 15 WANTED TS J122TX:

    Manual

    See pages 43 to 48 for more information on the removal and replacement of hard drives, including the WSSD. Your laptop Fortunately for you access to these components. The reader of the WSSD cannot be done in bootable without changes of very high-level software that I will assume that you do not want to try. Even with those that you are technically not the start of the WSSD to redirect to start Windows boot from the primary drive and finish by the WSSD. So basically if you want to run an SSD, penetrates a 500 GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD and remove the MSSD. We then have to reinstall the software on the SSD drive. With an SSD as drive so it is more a reason for the accelerator of the WSSD, but on your model of operating system installation still requires a bit of trickery that storage controller is on RAID and you need to load a driver during installation. After if you want to proceed with this I can be sure that you are interested in before getting into the details.

    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.
