  Mick,

  Hello

  You have the best player for the laptop, you may have. You can use conventional disc (up to 500 to 750 GB), but none of them are as fast as the solid state drive. I guess that the laptop is a dv7-4000 series. This laptop does not support SATA III connection because a SATA III SSD is the only drive faster than what you got.

• Replacing hard drive HP Pavilion g4-1015dx

  I recently acquired a HP Pavilion 1015dx g4 with a failing hard drive.
  
  I was wondering if this computer supports SATA III drives specifically the

  Thank you!

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See page 51 for hard drive access. Note the connector that connects the bare hard drive to the motherboard. You will need to reuse the parts caddy/connector/mylar shield from the old drive.

  Your laptop SATA ports are SATA II. In most cases, if it doesn't have USB 3.0, it also doesn't have SATA III. Your don't have any USB 3.0. However, SATA-III hard disks 2.5 inches wide and 7 or 9.5 mm thick will work fine. SATA III interface is backward compatible with SATA-II.  I guess that you have chosen the WD Blue 5400 RPM drive due to their low cost, but it would be well worth an extra 10 or $15 to have a disk of 7200 RPM like the WD Black or this one:

• Help! Replace HARD drive on Pavilion dm1z-2100 CTO

  I've had this laptop for a few years and am very happy with it - recently, I decided that I wanted to replace the 320 GB HARD drive with a third party 256GB SSD.  I created the recovery media of six DVD disc via the HP Recovery Manager, replace the laptop hard drives and booted up with the recovery DVD.  The HP Recovery Manager offers 3 options for reformatting and reinstalling the software on the hard disk: System Recovery, Factory Reset and Image Recovery reduces to a minimum.

  Try the system recovery and reduced Image Recovery seemed to work, as he cycled through all 6 DVD recovery and then prompted me to restart.  When I did, the two options by train several times, restarting the computer as usual ended with the prompt "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".  I tried the Recovery Manager factory reset option and it gave me this error message: "this computer's hard drive is smaller than the original shipped the drive.  The recovery process may not continue. »  (!!)

  While HP Recovery Manager is concerned, he seems to have no way to reinstall my OS and start upward with my new SSD.  I don't think that there is not a way around it.  Anyone can shed some light?

  Thank you.

  This is not good.

  Did you check the file size of the DVD and make sure it was the full 3. XX GB?

  Sometimes you get the message the download is finished, but the downloaded file is smaller than the size it should have been.

  If it is fine...

  If you have a 4 GB USB flash drive, go to plan b....

  Just follow these instructions...

  Download the MS of W7 USB installation tool and read the instructions on the page to use.

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

  You may also make this mod as I did if the flash tool-error.

  Download the bootsect file form http://www.everettsporting.com/bootsect.zip

  You will need to go into Control Panel, select display large icons, go to the icon of folder options, view tab, and select the hidden files and folders option.

  Once downloaded, copy the BootSect.exe file in the same folder that contains the file of Windows7-USB-DVD-Download - Tool.exe installed. This file in Windows 7's default installation directory is C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Apps\Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool\

  Run the application from the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool as described on the Microsoft Store website. The end result will give you a boot USB flash drive that contains everything you need to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

• Replacing hard drive HP Pavilion dv6500 (upgrade)

  My HD just crushed and tries to find a new (better) compatible HD back in my computer.  Any suggestions or what card I need to pick up if it's compatible?

  Hello:

  If you want good performance to a new hard drive, download a HDD SATA II 7 200 rpm of 500 GB or less.

  Give the highest RPM faster search times but this will be at the expense of the life of the battery between charges.

  It would be my first choice for a successor.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822136856

  If you don't need that big of a player and you want to save a little $$$, then you can get the 320 GB version of the above template.

• 15 - r174ca: replacement hard drive

  My hard drive failed on my laptop:

  http://www.BestBuy.ca/en-CA/product/Hewlett-Packard-HP-15-6-laptop-stone-silver-Intel-Core-i5-4210u-...

  I'm not entirely sure which hard drive to replace it with so any info would be helpful. The only thing I'm certain of is the 5400 RPM.

  Also, if someone could recommend some items online / in-store (Canada), which are at a good price for their performance features, it would be appreciated

  Thanks in advance

  You must understand that the replacement hard drive you must remove the entire lid and jeopardizes security:

  Your repair manuals

  See pages 53-59.

  As long as you do successfully the replacement, HP will honor still guarantee, however. Just be careful in here.

  You can use any 2.5 inches wide and 9.5 or 7 mm thick hard SATA or SSD.

  the 5400 RPM drives are a significant bottleneck, so in my mind you want to get at least a 7200 RPM hard drive and you really want to get a SSD drive if the budget allows.

• Recovery disk works does not after replacing hard drive Pavilion dv7

  Hello. I have problems of replacement of a failed hard drive in my HP Pavilion dv7-6154nr notebook running Windows 7. New HARD drive seems to install OK, but I get a Windows Boot Manager error when I try to run the recovery disks created when the system was purchased. The message says "the boot selection failed because a required device is not accessible" "status: Oxc000000f. I changed the boot order in the BIOS to boot from the internal DVD player but continue to make the same mistake

  More info: I upgraded the HARD drive from a Toshiba MK6476GSX - 640 GB - 5400 RPM for a WD Black 7500BPKTSP.  I don't see any info in the new HARD drive in system information / BIOS so I don't know if it is recognized. However, it take and pass a diagnostic test.

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Media of 6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard drives in 9.5 mm (in.37) and 7.0 mm (.28 in.) thick (all hard drives use the same bracket)

  So this confirms accept the one I linked in the post above.

  Unfortunately, the removal of the hard drive is a little tricky. Start the p. 85 of the manual which shows how to remove the top cover.

  You can skip over the part on the withdrawal of the screen and go to p. 105 for the hard drive.

• Pavilion dm4, replacing hard drive

  So, I have a HP Pavilion dm4 1165 c: windows 7 64 bit, around a Yes and a half old.

  A week before, the hard drive suffered a kind of permanent fatal event and quietly left this death spiral.  If you want to know: any type of shoe was impossible.  System recovery could not even see the drive, an external drive could not speak of it, and it crashed to any machine that has tried.  I had to send it to data recovery - they tell me that the reader has hard errors and at least one of the drive heads does not.  They will be able to pick up stuff for me, but the reader is a loss (yes I know, I know - I should have backed up).

  So in my opinion it - I have two problems to solve.  1. I need a new hard drive.  2 - I need stuff to put on my hard drive (it came with nothing - I don't have the disc for the operating system, drivers, nothing).  That offer HP which determination of these problems?  How much are these options?  Who should I talk to?  (I tried to call tech support, but there was a bit of a language barrier.  Also, I'm out of warranty, and they want $60 to solve problems before they'll still talk about replacement of hardware and/or software).

  Hello:

  You can order a 500 GB hard drive 7 200 to replace your existing one.  You can't go smaller if you want to use recovery disks.

  I love this place to order PC hardware.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/ProductList.aspx?submit=Ene&N=100007605%20600030594&IsNodeId=1&BOP=and&order=rating&PageSize=20

  I'd go with the first listed, but it is up to you. Look at the reviews and the price and choose the one that suits you best.

  You can order HP recovery discs. You will need to call them as the link to the website to order them is broken.  Cost should be less than $20.00

  You will need the complete model number of your PC. I do not see a dm4 - 1165dm.  I see a dm4 - 1165dx, and you will need to provide the serial number.

  If HP has a set of recovery disc for your PC, you can use this workaround to install W7 on your new HARD drive.

  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.

  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.

• HP Mini 110 3100 replace hard drive

  Hi all

  The hard drive in my 3100CA HP Mini 110 is dead. Well, die anyway. There is an intermittent squealing coming from him. I did the Test drive via menu HP diagnostics and it said that faulty hard drives SHRT DST (passed test SMART).

  I'm looking to replace the hard drive. I found the service manual and understand the keyboard connector is fragile. I also found this post:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware/change-hard-drive-for-HP-mini-110-3000CA/m-p/362149

  Before you buy a new hard drive, could someone answer a few questions:

  1. I understand that the mini supports a standard 2.5 "SATA. Does it matter if the drive is SATA 1.5 Gbps and 3.0 Gbps?

  2 repair numbers of replacement parts for the 5400 RPM drives, 7200 TPM would work as well? I don't remember if it's something that needs to 'support' or is not generally found in netbooks (power reqs, etc.).

  3. it is the hard drive that I am considering. Is it compatible? There may be something I forgot?

  http://www.Newegg.ca/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822145455&TPK=22-145-455

  I'd appreciate any help or advice.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  #1, opt for the SATA 3 Gb/s, in theory double the speed.

  #2, you can use 7200 RPM. Please watch these videos:

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=ngDIgDGNy3M

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=nELBz1VB7oo

  #3: it should work, please check the video above 1.

  Good luck.

  What do I need install the second hard drive HP PAVILION: p6633w?

  Hello

  You need two cables, one is a sata cable:

  http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/30305659/706331346/STARTech-com-6in-SATA-to-right-angle-SATA-serial-ATA-cable-female-SATA-female-SATA-6-inch-red/ListingDetails.html?_%24JA=TSID:13315% 7Ccat: 30305659% 7Cprd: 30305659 & kw = {keyword}

  This cable is only for data and connect the hard drive to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

  The other cable is energy:

  http://www.itpartsdirect.com/STARTech-15-24cm-4-pin-Molex-to-SATA-power-cable-adaptor.html

  It connects the hard drive to the PSU.

  You can also buy a combo like this cable:

  http://www.Amazon.co.UK/DP/B00064GBT4/?tag=hydra0b-21&hvadid=9550951989&ref=asc_df_B00064GBT4

  All you have to do is to connect the hard drive and that's it. Make sure that the main drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are the numbers 1, 2, 3...)

• HP Pavilion 17: mouse pad does not work after replacing hard drive

  Hello

  After replacing hard drive and installing windows 8.1, I can't use my mouse pad.

  I installed the Synaptics driver but it didn't help.

  How can I check that mousepad device is not damaged when replacing the hard drive and which also can I try to fix the mouse pad?

  USB mouse works fine.

  See you soon

  The only way to be sure is to open it up and see if the touchpad cable was disconnected during the upgrade of the hard drive. That's my bet. Easy to forget when you're winding. You don't provide complete model number, but many of the recent models Pavilion 17 require removal of the cover together to get hard disk that requires disconnection of the touchpad cable.

• What cable do need me to a second hard drive on the DV7 - 4104ca. The caddy kit is the wrong cable

  I bought the hard drive enclosure kit (605415-001) to install a second hard drive on my DV7 - 4104ca. The cable supplied with the kit is the same on the main hard drive, but the motherboard has only 1 conntector to cable companies. There is another free connector on the card that uses the same cable that the internal hard drive, but assistance phone HP has no idea what I'm talking about.

  Does anyone know which cable (part number) I need?

  Or even what it is that the type of connector called and then I can source my own cable.

  Thank you!

  You are the very welcome.

  It will be.
