The Pavillion desktop hard drive cage removal

My computer warns of hard drive failure imminent, so I record everything with cloning software, got a new drive and opened the compujter to disks.

My computer has a "flag" on the front, but no label product identification!  Support forum for HPs shows how to remove the hard drive on two different cage styles desktop Pavilion, but mine is completely different.  Because I can't find a model number or product, I can't ask HP about it through their support email system.

The right side of the casing comes off, but the left side is riveted in place permanently.  There are two screws holding the cage to the frame, but after removing the cage remains stationary.

Any suggestions?

This is the recommended method to replace the hard drive, according to these instructions: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/359309/Hp-Pavilion-P6230f.html?page=21#manual

    Drag the HARD drive cage to the top of the PC while pressing the lock.

  • Satellite L70-A-139 - guaranteed zero when removing the cover for the RAM and HARD drive

    Hi all

    And at the back of the laptop, there is a cover that is fixed with a screw.

    Wil I void the warranty when I unscrew and take a look?

    The motherboard supports Sata III: D.

    Thank you!

    No, the mandate must still be valid.
    There is a removable cover at the bottom of the unit as shown here:

    Then you should be able to upgrade the RAM and HARD drive.
    I think this info should be mentioned in the user manual too.

  • HP Pavilion p6290d: change to smaller capacity desktop hard drive using the recovery disks

    500 GB could be sufficient to allow the recovery discs, you did to work.

  • HPE-495 desktop - HARD drive is u/s, please help to rebuild with SSDS

    Hi all

    [[2 TB Hitachi SATA 3.0 GB/s] HARD drive GL8E]. The current failed HARD drive is connected to the sata1 and there is a spare on the motherboard sata2. Spare power supplies available [CH 4 & ch 5]. Office was running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    I would like to install a 840 EVO Samsung 250 GB SSD SATA 3 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1 and a second [still undecided 2 TB Western Digital SATA 3] as data drive.

    These discs are backaward compatible with the existing architecture of SATA - y at - it all isuues with this proposal, would I need to make changes to the BIOS, other than this initial boot off dvd player to install the new windows on the ssd drive?

    Thank you very much.

    If you replace the current HARD drive with SSD in SATA1, new in SATA2 HARD drive and let the CD/DVD in SATA3 on your HP Pavilion Elite HPE-495uk desktop, your computer should boot the Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit DVD into the CD/DVD drive. This assumes that the disks are new with absolutely no data on them. You may need to, press the "ESC" key or the "F # ' suitable for your computer, select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Is the nessicary to hard drive...

    ... when I send my laptop in for repair?

    I looked up data backup services and prices are absurd. Can I just remove my drive hard when I send to HP for repair? Do need it? What are my chance of losing data if I just wing?

    Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but this seems to be the best place to ask.

    Had this happen to me, and this is a possible work around: on the one hand, is the BIOS of your computer protected by? If no, go to a computer store and buy a hard drive enclosure USB 2.0 SATA 2.5 with USB (about 10-15 dollars). While off your computer, remove the hard drive. Remove the adapter from the end of the hard drive and the hard drive then plug the HD inside. Put the hard drive in the new enclosure and using the USB cable, plug it into another computer (PC at home, model of friends, whatever...) and navigate to your files as if it were the external storage device, copy on everything you need to save. Just reinstall the HD in your laptop and send it for repair.

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite L500-128 using recovery on the new (larger) HARD drive discs

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba L500-128, the original 320 GB hard drive is just too small and I would like to avoid buying an external hard drive (for backup purposes), because in my experience, they are just rubbish and I want that all my data on the laptop.

    I wanted to buy a new hard drive 1 tb (maybe 2) put into it, I guess it is equipped to deal with, (Please someone correct me if they know otherwise) with 4 GB of ram...

    In any case I am really wondered, whether or not I can get out with the help of my new hard disk recovery disks.
    If they did it the old-fashioned way (sending an OS disc and a disc of pilots) I wouldn't even question, but as I created disks of the computer itself, I wasn't too sure when I opened the drives upward to make sure all burned on them ok, I never saw something like what I expected.

    Also, I read somewhere that someone else has tried it and it didn't work, they assumed because the recovery included an image specifically to fit the original hard drive size?

    Can someone enlighten us all please?

    Thank you

    Hello

    First, you must create the Toshiba Recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called pre-installed tool.
    Usually, you should receive a confirmation message that the recovery was created successfully.
    This means that you can use this disk to restore the laptop to factory settings is not serious what HARD drive is in use.
    This means that the recovery disc should work with the other drives.

    But note; This recovery disk using would format the HARD drive and remove all HARD drive partitions. But this should not bother you if you use the disk HARD vacuum ;)

    Thank you

    Not in the way you probably do. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See Page 50. Unlike the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv7, Pavilion 17 has that a single hard drive Bay. The only way to add a second hard drive is to remove the DVD (optical drive) and insert a DVD to the hard drive bay adapter. The manual shows how to remove the DVD player and you can buy the adapter at amazon.com or jacobsparts.com. Note that this is a 9.5 mm thick disc, not a 12.7 mm. Both types are available. I do not recommend the adapter DVD player solution because you lose the use of the optical drive, and also because the interface of optical drive is usually not as fast as the main hard drive interface. Always fast enough for simple storage and you can run a video of her, but you do not want to edit the video of this disc, for example.

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

    If you decide to go the route of adapter DVD I would buy a large capacity 5400 RPM SATA 2.5 inches wide and drive hard thickness 9.5 mm. No sense in buying a reader more expensive high-performance.

  • Need to test the broken laptop hard drive but has strange adapter

    I have a Compaq NX7400 and the screen is broken. I want to test the hard drive to see if that works, but it has a weird card. Does anyone know if it emerges because I can then put it in a laptop from work to see if it works?

    This works. This is the main interface. It's called SATA... it has replaced the old interface IDE brass pin about 8-10 years ago. That the hard drive can be connected to a desktop computer with an open SATA data port and adapter and SATA power adapter; right interface is identical to a SATA desktop hard drive.
