Satellite 2450-201: replace the optical drive.

Hi, the drive combo DVD in my satellite 2450-201 has recently stopped reading dvd

Hello

If I remember correctly your unit select a bay and you can remove the easy DVD player. In the lower corner, you will find SlimSelectBay latch. Move to position undocking and carefully remove the disc.

The disc is set to SlimSelectBay. I have gift? t remember exactly how many screws are there but the disassembly procedure is not complicated. Check it!

    Yes you can. Here's the part you have to do with. Just remove the optical drive, add a hard disk in one of these adapters and replace it for the optical drive:

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

    You may also need to swap the façade of the old optical disc to make the installation of good look.

    I wouldn't use this for one SSD. An SSD belonged to the main disk space to enjoy the speed. The drive into the optical drive adapter will not be bootable and it will be not given quite as fast as the main hard drive transfer speeds. So if you have a drive in this card, a big (1 TB) and slow (5400 RPM) drive would be preferable. It will be purely for storage and it is still fast enough to see the video of for example but if you are doing video editing I would try not to edit videos from the optical drive Bay. Move them to the fastest reader first.

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01713747.PDF

    Replacement of optical discs with reference numbers HP are in Chapter 3, page 33.

    You can also read the instructions in Chapter 4 on removing the drive and get the number off of it, which is normally on a white sticker.  A reference to 6 digit-3 digit number (123456-001)

    You can search by the number of coin on eBay for a used camera but work or you can probably buy a new one at HP by entering the part number on the link below.

  • HP Pavilion 15-p263nl: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion p263nl 15 Notebook PC & Windows 10

    Hi all!

    I intend to add an SSD for my HP Pavilion p263nl-15 Notebook PC. I found some sites that I can remove the optical drive and put a second drive using a caddy adapter in the optical drive Bay. I found that some people on the forum did it successfully, but nothing on my PC model. I want to know if he could work with my product.

    In other words, there is my plan:

    1 remove the real disk HDD hard bay and replace it with the new SSD.

    2. remove the optical drive and replace it with the adapter caddy containing my old HDD.

    3. do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD using a USB key recovery made with my real Windows 10 system (which has been updated from Windows 8.1 July 2016).

    I already have a 120 GB OCZ SSD (OCZ Vertex 3).

    I have a few questions before buying the adapter:

    1 - the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) are recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows, 10)? Is there a limit to a unique HARD/SSD disk drive on the computer?

    2 should. What size the card be? I found offers for 9.5 mm and 12.7 mm that are supposed to be suitable for HP Pavilion in general

    3 - these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? You can expect any problems with this upgrade?

    4 - clean install Windows 10 quote, because I intend to install it on a different drive than the one I used to create the key USB recovery flash? I have never done a clean install of Windows before.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Alessandro

    p.s. in this section of the forum (where I took most of the post), the solution worked almost perfectly, but it's a different product of the Pavilion 15 ^^

    Hello

    1. Yes,

    2. your machines use 9.5 mm SATA Tray,

    3 problem? I can't answer this question because who knows nothing until the track.

    4. I don't know how you create USB recovery but a good new installation should work.

    Kind regards.

  • HP Pavilion 15-e073ca: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion e073ca 15 Notebook PC & Windows 10

    Hello!

    I intend to add an SSD in my two years 15-e073ca HP Pavilion Notebook PC. I found some sites that I can remove the optical drive and put a second drive using a caddy adapter in the optical drive Bay. I found that some people on the forum did it successfully, but nothing on my PC model. I want to know if he could work with my product.

    3. do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD, using a recovery USB stick made with my system Windows 10 real (which has been updated from Windows 8.1).

    I plan to purchase the following parts:

    1 - a HDD / SSD cart adapter for HP Pavilion 15 (model OBHD9-SATA-SATA-BU9), of NewmodeUS (http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=583)

    2 - a SSD 128 GB (article SDSSDHP - 128G), SanDisk (http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/ultra-plus/?capacity=128gb)

    I have a few questions before I buy parts:

    1 - the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) are recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows, 10)? Is there a limit to a unique HARD/SSD disk drive on the computer?

    2 - the height of the SSD is 7mm, and it seems that my old HDD is 9.5 mm in height (model WDC WD10JPVT-60A1YT0). It would cause no problem (I need to add spacers)?

    3 - these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? You can expect any problems with this upgrade?

    4 - clean install Windows 10 quote, because I intend to install it on a different drive than the one I used to create the key USB recovery flash? I have never done a clean install of Windows before.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Haghe

    Your plan is perfect. The SSD to will of 7 mm that always come back fine it just will be lower in the caddy. The holes and SATA connections are in the same place as a hard drive of 9.5 mm. You can use a spacer (many SSD include one in the box) but not really necessary.

    Installing SSD for Windows 10 the way you expect is not really "own", that he will again introduce files and programs, in my opinion and certainly drivers. Whatever it is, it works perfectly and activates the old installation has been enabled.

    The hard disk in the optical adapter will not be bootable and will transfer the data a bit slower than a drive in the main compartment, but will still be usable for most cases. If you need fast input/output like Photoshop or video editing move the job file to the first SSD. Alternatively, you may wish to consider documents and photos and other migration on the HARD drive to keep the 128 GB SSD to fill. You can right-click on these files and select 'place' and move them. After the back if you need some help with that.

    Enjoy.

    Thanks in advance!

    For clean installation try to download Microsoft Media creation tool first. Using the tool, you can download a copy of the Win 8.1 installer. Save 8.1 only and not the PRO. During installation, the installation program does not the product key but it detect automatically your bios.

    You will need to place the ssd instead of the original location of the hard drive to boot successfully.

  • Satellite L650 - 10 H - replace the optical drive of a second HDD/SSD?

    Hello
    Is it possible to replace the DVD burner with a second hard drive or an SSD?

    Thank you
    Michael.

    Hello

    First of all I don't know why would you refrain from ODD... I always use ODD and it fail...

    Well, some laptops as Tecra has supported this feature.
    For that you need a special envelope where the HARD drive is placed.
    This Chamber was placed in the Bay of ODD.

    But I m not very well if L650 model that would support personally I doubt it would work because of the controller on the motherboard.

    However, if you want to be safe, I would recommend an ASP in your country you asking if a compatible box be available satellite L650.

  • Satellite 2450-201: installation new multi drive DVD - RW

    INSTALLED NEC ND - 6750A DVD PLAYER MULTI ON MY LAPTOP OF 2450-201.
    DEVICE IS NOT RECOGNIZED - THE NOTEBOOK STARTS UP OK OTHERWISE.

    HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
    HELP & GREATLY APPRECIATED TIPS.

    Hello

    It's very strange because the BIOS recognizes the drive but not the Windows operating system
    I assume that you have installed the "multi DVD ND - 6750A reader" but you do not 'Refresh' of the Win OS.
    I'm not 100% sure but I think the operating system driver is responsible for this issue.
    I recommend reinstalling the operating system. Maybe the operating system makes it possible to recognize the DVD drive.

  • Satellite Pro P100 - replacing the HARD drive internal

    I have a Satellite Pro P100 with a concert of 60 internal HDD and would like to replace this with a 250 or 320 GB drive.

    Anyone can suggest a way to imagery of the current drive and copy this back to the new drive without having to re - install the operating system and other installed software?

    I have a couple of USB 2.0 external drives with sufficient capacity.

    Hello

    You first need to know if the more drive HARD 250 GB or 320 GB would be compatible and if the BIOS recognize this HARD drive without major worries!
    The problem is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported by the BIOS.
    Then all first check if the new HARD drive are supported!

    You ask how to get all the files on the new disk? I recommend good reinstall the OS from the recovery CD. It would be to reinstall the OS, drivers, tools, utilities.
    If you have other files such as mp3, etc it then backup to the external USB HDD.
    Then you could connect this HARD drive to the laptop and could transfer it on the internal HARD disk.

  • Recovery of Satellite A215 after replacing the hard drive

    I have a Satellite A215 from issues taken to a store, they said the hard drive was going wrong, they extracted the files it could.
    I replaced the concert of 80 hitachi Moose with a new concert of 500 hitachi. When I try to launch the boot disc that came with the computer it says loading windows then goes to a recovery mode and I can't function.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you

    At this point, it would be interesting to know if the same thing would happen with 100 GB HARD drive. Do you get the such or similar HDD somewhere for testing purposes?

    It's that you can't manipulate image recovery and recovery installation procedure. Either it works or not.
    To be honest, I'm a little surprised by your upgrade. I can't imagine that a small car can work with stronger engine 10 times. What do you think?
