• replacing hard drive HP pavilion dv7 needed mine failed and need a new.

  I have a pavilion dv7 4077cl Entertainment hard drive is faulty and all diagnoses say replace it.

  I can not find the same one (Toshiba MK6465gsx) what is compatible?  Help, please!  Thank you

  You can adapt any 2.5 "SATA HDD, just remove the old one from the caddy (if any) and, quite simply, a new. If you want news, then visit Amazon Toshiba 640 GB HDD because they have a list. I'm sure you could find a better and probably cheaper alternative if you google 2.5 "SATA hard drive. I adapted one of them in my HP and it's great: Seagate Momentus 750 GB I did have a problem because I did it.

• 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.

  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.

  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 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.

  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.

• 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.

• Replacing hard drive HP-M4-1015dx

  I'm a professional sector, when even, I have a problem you know that there is something faulty with the design... I can't understand how to replace the hard drive in the M4-1015dx. The back has been cut as if the plastic on the HARD/RAM disk might be deleted, but I begin to suspect that it is a fake of the coverage. There is one screw on the cover that the withdrawal does nothing. Should I really remove a ton of screws, maybe even the keypad to access the HARD drive Bay / RAM or am I missing something simple here right?

  Any help is appreciated.

  (It does not help that HP apparently no longer includes documentation of replacement procedure with their laptops and it is especially impossible to find information online on).

  Take the battery, and then drag the lock (drums) to clear the service door. You can then remove the panels.

• Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?

  Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?  The bios is version v3.26, and the operating system is XP with SP3.  40 gig HD is full and you are looking to replace it but do not know what the size limit is with this bios version.

  Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion a705w desktop. This is based on the assumption that you converted the 5 and 0 and the fact that you mentioned a 40 GB hard drive.

  You already have the most current version of the BIOS of your computer and running the most recent service pack of Windows XP. Your computer and the operating system should support a drive of 500 GB without problem. The only problem is that your computer isn't any SATA ports, only 66/100 IDE (PATA). Look at local retailers and online for the IDE drives.

• A100 replacement hard drive

  I saw the other posts on this but no definitive answer.
  My HARD drive is dying and needs to be replaced. I see the posotion from the LHS is under the Palm drive and there seems to be one removable flap - other posts say there is only one screw to remove, but there is no visible screws under the machine.

  I've changed hard disks on other Toshibas with absolutetly no problem - someone at - it ideas?

  Hello

  Replace HARD drive on this laptop is not simply the procedure. I'm not 100% sure, but the entire Palm rest/Touchpad should be removed first. HARD drive cover is fixed with a screw, but you'll see him only if the Palm is deleted.

  When this screw is removed, hold the HARD drive tab and pull the HARD drive bracket. Next step is to detach the HARD drive from the HARD drive support.
  The device is quite new and first of all, check if the warranty is still valid.

  It is not so easy to change the HARD drive on this model.
  You have to remove many parts like keyboard, screen, cover and screw a lot.
  It's a little tricky, so you should have experience with this.

  As Akuma, go to a local ASP (authorized service provider) has said. They can help you replace the HARD drive.

• Satellite L300D-10 q recovery DVD Can be used on the replacement hard drive?

  Hello

  I was wondering if the DVD Recovery allows to install Vista on a replacement hard drive? The original hard drive is too small at 160 GB contain all the files that I use the virtual operating system image. The disk hard 500 GB of replacement must be large enough for that.

  The reason why I need to Vista, it's that the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu 8.04.1 and 8.10, cause the fan to run at full speed all the time which is very annoying. So for the moment I can only use Linux in a virtual machine.

  I intend to stay with Toshiba, though, as my two latest portable Toshiba Satellite a PII and a PIII still work today, and both have had Linux on them.

  Now, back to my story, I intend to remove the existing laptop, hard drive use DVD recovery to install to external USB 500 GB disk, replace the existing hard drive in starting up the laptop from the USB and copy my data overall. Before you reformat the old drive as external storage, I will replace in the laptop with 500 GB drive and the test so I can boot from the new drive.

  Key question will be the change of equipment, i.e. the new hard disk of 500 GB prevent Vista to install or activate?

  Thank you very much

  Vista itself can handle huge HARD drive sizes, but the question is: the recovery disc will be happy with 500 GB? The laptop will recognize 500 GB?

  I think it will work very well, because the new laptops are released with 320 HARD drive. 500 GB is not far.

  Its a few trial and error unless anyone here has tested a disc 500 GB HARD themselves.

• HP ENVY 14 2020NR: need a recommendation for a replacement hard drive

  Greetings,

  I have an a HP ENVY 14 2020NR with a hard drive died. Blue several screens before the new year, did a complete system restore, which seemed to have fixed things. Unfortunately, after 10 days the blue screens are back. The unit is several years old, and my next step is to replace the hard drive. I have all the data backed up elsewhere and ready DVD restore disc.

  Here are the specs of the drive:

  Hitachi disc HARD 7 K 750-750. P/N H2T7501672S.

  I am trying to identify the right replacement hard drive. Looks like it was 750 GB at 7200 RPM. Some choice out there. Can anyone recommend the correct replacement hard drive?

  Thanks in advance!

  ● 320 GB (7200 RPM)

  Supports the following simple SSD drive configurations:

  According to the above information, any hard disk 2.5 "SATA or SSD of 9.5 mm and 7.0 mm profile should work fine. This includes the newer readers who are more capacious.

• Satellite Pro 2100: How do I reinstall the OS after replacing HARD drive

  I have a Toshiba SP2100 and I want to replace the hard drive, but I don't have any recovery CD
  So, how can I put the o/s back on?

  Try to connect the external HARD drive to the computer via the USB port and try to copy all content from the internal HARD disk external HARD drive. Then you could try to insert the external HARD drive in the laptop.
  But I've never tried this procedure and don t know if it will work.

  But usually after replacing HARD drive you should boot from the Boot CD as recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
  After the installation of clean Windows OS, you can visit the Toshiba drivers and you can download and install the drivers of Toshiba and utilities.

• Replacement hard drive for Portege P2010 - part number required

  Can someone tell me what is the part number for a replacement hard drive for Portege P2010 is? It has the latest version of the BIOS installed, if the capacity of the HARD disk can be greater than the original 30gig?

  Thank you

  Martin

  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.

  Good bye
