  Please clear my doubt. Here is all of us who have gone through this process and able to clear my doubt as soon as possible. ??

  Yes, they will make you return the old drive to get a new, so HP can get any credit machine hard drive (as applicable). Otherwise how do they know that the old is really bad? This is true of every computer manufacturer.

• I can't recover my system (DV6000) using recovery discs after replacing the card mother/HARD drive

  I have a DV6408nr (windows vista Home premium) I had to replace the motherboard and hard drive. When installing the new motherboard (same part No.: 443775-001) and insert the recovery (bought from HP) discs that I have, I received an error message stating that the PC could not be recovered using my disks. The serial numbers on the label service and in my bios do not match. When I entered the serial number of my bios in HPpartsurfer, he said that the system is a DV6449us. I already checked my RAM and HARD drive is brand new/not formatted. I used these recovery discs (manufacturer: 483905-003/483906-003) successfully before on other flags of DV series. Is there a reason why these discs should not work on two motherboards in the same system with these similar specs? What should I do to get my system recovered?

  The number of the motherboard and other show information in the bios of the new Commission?

  The numbers do not match the recovery disks or information is missing in the bios.

  If it's really a mismatch, then you will need to find the good recovery disks or use a Dell installation disk operating system and use the product key from the sticker on the laptop to get activated, and then manually install the drivers.

  If the bios tattoo is damaged or missing information only a used HP Center can then fix the tattoo.

• (Redirected) Alienware x 51-replace defective HARD drive help Pls...

  OK, so my x 51 (R1) Blue I screened yesterday and I did my head in an attempt to resolve this... Finally I threw in the towel and decided to factory reset the Player - did not help.  Bought a new drive today and I tried to do a clean of win10 install-I don't have a recovery disk so I used my drive recovery my laptop (XPS-15) and now my office (x 51) think that this is a laptop... so when I go into settings it shows me the CPU in my laptop and my laptop windows product key... This isn't good.

  In the BIOS it still shows X 51, but everything on the new HARD drive shows my laptop recovery info - I thought of widows would detect the info office and adjust - clearly that has not happened.  I tried to boot my windows 10 USB (supplied with my edit on win10 I bought..) and the PC says that it does not find the HARD drive (although I say it can boot from USB...)-when I use my XPS15 USB recovery that works very well.

  So long story short.

  1. how to do a clean install of Windows 10 on my X 51? even if the system came came with Win8.

  2. clean install to win 10 show the good stuff "Alienware" on my computer that was there before?

  3. using a Win10 USB does not work - it keeps giving me the error message that says "drive HARD internal not found to fix this problem, try reinstalling the drive. No bootable devices"- is when I have the win10 USB provided with a brand new version on Windows in USB? I don't get it... to clarify the USB ONLY it recognizes is the USB of recovery I did for my XPS15 - its as it only recognizes the other dell stuff only... very frustrating

  4. How can I get my drivers for the NIC for my X 51? My xps15 has no ethernet port port has therefore had no need for drivers - so I guess that the recovery has not installed the drivers ethernet either... Cannot access the internet atm

  5. any other help to get my x 51 work as if it were would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

• Replacement of my old hard drive to the laptop with a 128 GB HD Samsung

  I don't know how I can exchange the SSD hard drive that I just bought. I noticed that the pins are different from my old hard drive...

  Please advise...

  Hi Rodulio,

  The Inspiron 6000 is a very old laptop and requires a type of hard drive IDE, so you do not have the option to replace it with an SSD.

• need help syncing replacement of the external hard drive for Lightroom

  Hello Lightroom community.

  I've exhausted my research and am now seeking help. Please direct me to this information in the forum if it exists. Also, I am a novice and while I am learning lightroom quickly with all my time spent in forums and online videos, I am limited in my understanding of how it all works.

  Problem: I store my Lightroom Catalog and backups on my portable MacBook Pro. I use two external hard drives to store all my images and store my time machine backups. My external hard drive (1-hand) and my external hard drive (2-Back-up) were also well synchronized with the catalog and recognized by lightroom when I edited the pictures. I mainly used the DHM 1-hand when I edited, especially when I went. Last month, my main 1 - EHD died and was unrecoverable. I got lucky that my backup drive (DHM 2-back-up) has always had the images and changes.

  In order to quickly save my 'JEP 2-back-up"to a new 'Hand' work external hard drive replacement, I dragged and dropped the backup disk images to the new"Main"drive so that I can sleep at night. This gave me the peace of mind that all of my images and backups time machine were now on two disks again. (Note: the new ' hand ' disk has a different name. ") Is this important?)

  How can I get Lightroom to recognize and sync with my new drive and photos? Is there a simple way to do this or do I have to restart the process from the beginning? If so, where should I start? I'm afraid to attempt without some advice/suggestions from the experts.

  Thank you for any information, you can pass it along! Please let me know what I can provide additional information.

  Side note: when I looked to import the images of the new 'Hand' DHM - although this would make duplicates-Lightroom recognized that there are duplicates. So, where is the missing link?

  If you can rename the new primary drive to match exactly the name of the previous main drive, that should correct the problem.

  If this is not the case, then you want to open your Lightroom Catalog and then reconnect the top-level folder that contains your pictures by right-clicking on this top-level folder and then to find Missing folder pointing Lightroom on the equivalent top level on your new drive main folder. The details are described here (see Figure 4): Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  Side note: re-import never corrects this problem, it only makes it worse. Never use to reimport into solution in Lightroom.

• HP 15 f272wm: cost of replacement of a failed hard drive

  I recently dropped my laptop and now I get dst short error. I said that the only solution is to replace my hard drive, I want to know how much a replacement will be for my hard drive. Thanks in advance.

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  Page 40-46 shows the process.

  You have a drive of 500 GB 5400 RPM hard and this is a replacement of a similar nature.

  https://www.Amazon.com/Seagate-Momentus-5400rpm-internal-ST9500325AS-bare/DP/B001R4BBL0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8 & qid = 1469545768 & SR = 8-2 & Keywords = 500 + Gig + 5400 + rpm + 2.5

  $43.75.

  This is not your exact model, but essentially the same operation:

  If your budget can handle I could recommend an SSD. Your laptop has a low processor range and would win a little to a faster disk drive. After the back if you want to explore the possibilities. Had already upgraded to Windows 10? If so reinstalling software is pretty easy.

• Satellite P850 - replacement of 1 TB HARD drive

  Hi all

  my laptop is 1 month out of warranty and keep Windows telling me my HARD drive is about to fail and I'm not sure on what disk HARD I need to buy to replace, I'm not in the best financial situation at the moment and I'm looking for the most cost-effective way of backing up my computer and install a new HARD drive.

  I looked into buying a drive enclosure HARD 2.5 "and that he was going to create a clone of the original HARD disk, but if anyone who knows better if they could let me know. I have a 2 to external HARD disk, I was able to use to backup everything, but I don't know how to do and the cloning machine just seams easier as after his clone new HARD drive I just replace it in the laptop, I found a cloning case that comes with the son and the software for about $50 and a 1 TB drive HARD Hitachi for $80 , but I do not know which fits into HARD drive my laptop.

  Any help is much appreciated as I am a little upset my laptop $1400 a too serious a problem 1 month out of warranty, cheers Jon.

  > I looked into buying a disk enclosure 2.5 "HARD and he's going to create a clone of the original HARD disk, but if anyone who knows better if they could let me know

  It was sounds good to me.
  In the past, I went from the HARD drive to SSD drive and I also clone HARD drive partitions and moved to SSD drive.
  After that, you'll need mark the system partition active (on the external HARD disk)

  Regarding the 1 TB HARD drive:
  I think the HARD drive needs to be supported, because the controller SATA isn't limited to one size specific. This is why it is not a big problem to make it work.

• HP Pavilion 15 t-n200 CTO: new hard drive Help

  Hello

  Laptop was not start at all or take 15 + minutes to start.  I did a full reset by removing the battery and was still stuck on the Hp logo.  Conducted quick system check.  All passes except Hard Drive short DST check: failed.  Failure ID: GGFFTX-7407SB-MFPV6J-60V103 product ID: F6G93AV

  Date of purchase was 08/05/2014 so out of warranty & cannot get help from support.

  I guess I need to replace the hard drive?  Is this correct? I need not recover files or data of the machine, so from own is fine.  I want to upgrade to windows 10 once I get it - the initialization of the disorder began when I tried to upgrade, then machine evolves to 8.1.

  How can I find the specifications to order a new hard drive to make sure that I get the right thing?  Currently the car is ATA & 500 GB. Machine has Intel Core i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60 GHz Machine is not a touch screen.

  Of course, I'd appreciate any help someone could pay before ordering something.  Thank you!

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See p. 59 for hard drive replacement. Unfortunately, yours requires a bit of work to get on the hard drive, involving a removal of the top cover, but not the motherboard.

  You definitely need a new hard drive and the system will accept any 7 or 9.5 mm thickness 2.5-inch wide SATA hard drive or disk solid state drive.

  I'll assume that you are located in the United States, unless post you back and let me know if not.

  I settle down to less than a mechanical drive of 7200 RPM like this:

  You can also make a hybrid that has a bit of the State solid and also tops mechanical like this:

  The best and fastest are a SSD drive like this:

  http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-inch-internal-MZ-75E500B-am/DP/B00OBRE5UE/ref=sr_1_2?s=PC&ie=UTF8&QID=1448744072&SR=1-2&keywords=Samsung+850+Evo

• Bad sectors on the hard drive; help to isolate or repair

  Hello, recently I discovered that my windows get to slump that closely mimics a gel at a random time. After a lot of research on this topic, I did several diagnostic tests on my laptop and finally reduced to my hard drive.
  The problem is evident for the following reasons:
  • When I tried to run chkdsk/r/f, which is always translated by he stuck to "step 4: check the data in the file" around 70%.
  • When the slowdown occurs, the resource monitor from Task Manager for the disk activity showed 1 KB/s (not sure if this is suspicious)
  • Tried various hard drive diagnostic tools. WinDLG gets blocked for a certain sector, but has never even if I waited for 6 h +. SeaTools for DOS has reported that the hard drive failed the tests. Dell diagnostic tool also pointed out the hard drive, is not the test of confidence in some sectors. Toshiba Diagnostics tool did not work as I could not highlight the readers so he could test.
  Formally, this means that I have bad sectors on the hard drive and I want to know if there are solutions to 'fix' or isolate him rather than replace the hard drive. The hard drive is only a year old and I would like to get as much time as I can with the drive without having to spend on a new.
  In addition, I also came to this post here which seems to reflect the same situation:
  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-performance/trying-to-fix-Chkdsk-from-freezing-at-stage-5-of-5/b8b8d748-3b50-4cff-9a28-9469fcfa3b97?page=1&TM=1325413573002
  However, there are a few parts where I am confused and does not really apply to my situation (for example, meanwhile his stage 5, for me its stage 4). Thanks in advance for any help.

  CHKDSK does not indicate a failing hard drive, it indicates problems with the filesystem (NTFS.sys) hard disk.  I like to repeat because that may indicate more out of trouble (if you get several times CHKDSK repair things, then something else is the cause).

  That's what I'm looking for:
  "Windows has made corrections to the file system."
  Know me mistakes.

  DO NOT use the drivers from the resource CD.  They are overwhelmed when you get them.  Go to the Dell support site and download the latest versions here.

  Unfortunately, unless your highly qualified with a soldering iron on small electric parts, then there is no replacement of the part.  Also unfortunately, there is no test for a motherboard problem, so we have to everything else on the rule.

  If it passes all the tests, it indicates that it passed all tests.  All these tests are software - they can not physically 'see' a hardware problem, but can deduct that it based on the results of the tests.

  I suggest you a few additional tests before start thinking that it's the mobo.  They are Prime95 test and tests stress CPU at this link: http://www.carrona.org/hwdiag.html

  I also suggest another facility 'clean' - just to be sure.  Here's what I propose for a clean install:
  [quote]
  For testing purposes, it is best to install Windows "clean".
  It is, basically, install the way that Microsoft intended (with the drivers from Windows Update).
  This procedure is for Windows 7, Vista is similar (but has 2 service packs)

  You will need your installation/recovery DVD (s) before you start.  Once you wipe the hard drive, there is no going back!

  1 back up all your data.
  It will wipe everything off of your hard drive, so what you want to keep should be backed up elsewhere.

  [b] [u] NOTES: [/ b] [/ u] If this is due to an infection, remember to analyze the data with current antivirus to another system to locate and remove malware.

  2. connect the system to the internet (if the system shows then disconnect from the Internet, do).

  3. use one of these free utilities to wipe the hard drive:
  DBAN (http://www.dban.org/download)
  KillDisk (http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm).
  This will remove also any partition system - then the intallation/recovery recovery DVD are essential!

  4. install Windows by booting from the installation/recovery DVD - [b] [u] DO NOT change any settings! [/ u] [/ b]

  5 visit Windows Update and get all updates

  6 visit Windows Update and download the Service Pack 1 (normally under important updates).  Read these notes for installing SP1: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2505743

  7 visit Windows Update and get any other available updates

  8. check device for all unknown/disabled devices Manager - if there are unknown disabled devices, secure them with the latest drivers from the website of the manufacturer of the device (not the PC manufacturer)

  9 download, install and update a free antivirus, so it does not get infected during the test (http://www.carrona.org/freeav.html).

  [u] if problems persist [/ u], the problem is probably with your hardware.

  [b] [u] warning: [/ u] [/ b] If you have an Asus motherboard, check the date on the file C:\Windows\System32\driver\ASACPI.sys.  2004/2005 is a problem, 2009,2010 is OK.  Updates are available on the Web from Asus site.

  [b] [u] warning: [/ u] [/ b] If you have a Sony system, make sure that you do NOT have the 2007 version (or earlier) Extension of Firmware of Sony Analyzer (SFEP.sys).  To update this driver immediately!

• HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Short hard drive DST check failure... once again.

  A question that I had resolved a few months ago started occurring again, in which the laptop is struggling to load things when started and soon after falls down and has to be restarted. I guess that means that the hard drive has failed once again and so I have no doubt about how to solve this problem, but I write this query to ask: why? Why has a laptop, I had since not even a year at this stage has already had the same problem occur twice, even with the replacement of the piece that broke the first time? I am willing to assume that this is something to do with excessive I will admit that it is enabled for a good part of almost every day, often for several hours I play the games on Steam on it. Currently, I do not plan to have the hard drive replaced again because it is clearly an issue that will keep occurring that the way things are and if I can get a PC that won't break every time a gust of wind so it hits. Any information on why this happens and how it could potentially be avoided in the future is appreciated, especially if it offers a solution that doesn't involve payment of an exorbitant amount of money.

  The worst enemy of hard drives is heat. If you play on a computer that is pushed to the limits of the game, a lot of it can wear on a hard drive for a few months. You get a lot of activity of fan during the game? A cooling pad may be an option, or on a computer box of Grandpa instead of a laptop for the games.

• Pavilion 17 laptop / J9M18: hard drive error

  Hard drive Diagnostics error; 608AJW-7AN88K-MFPV6K-60UK03.

  I was using the pc and he hung up.  Rebooted and pc wouldn't do anything.  I ran the diagnostic of the configuration of F2 system and it gives the above error.  Is the drive toast or can it be saved.  I tried to load the system options on but it will not read the DVD, and only gives me an error.

  Hello

  Just to be sure, is actually the error code 608AJW-7ANB8 K - MFPV6K - 60UK03?

  If this is the case, it is a disk failure short self-test and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.

  If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - if necessary, you can check the status of your warranty here.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, please let me know - understand the complete model number and your 17 laptop Nr series - see here for an explanation.

• Desktop HP Elite 371f: replacement / upgrade of the hard drive

  Hi, my HP Elite 371f desktop computer needs a new internal hard drive. He l just replace one that is in it, or do you recommend a better? I listen to a lot of TV and my nephew likes to play video games on it. THX

  Hello.

  According to the specifications of your motherboard, you have 2 ports SATA - 1xSATA I and II 1xSATA, so if you choose, you can add another hard drive and have two separate storage locations. However, remember that I have the speed SATA port will be limited to 1.5 Gb/s, which is the maximum speed available SATA I can reach.

  Regarding a specific hard drive that I can recommend, because you want to run applications from the secondary storage unit, you can check WD Black, which is a performance oriented HARD drive with limited 5-year warranty and has good features like a built-in dual-core CPU that makes the ideal player for multitasking , or WD Blue, which is intended for the calculation of daily and he is quite able to run most of the games as well as many programs for editing or programming. Here are some links if you want to take a look:

• New hard drive Help

  Hey,.

  Hard drive of my Hp laptop g56 becomes close to having an imminent failure... That's my fault... I dropped it... once again. Yes, I'll be the first to admit that I'm a bit lumpy. This is the second time I had to replace the hard drive because of the impact trama to the laptop. I wear is everywhere for work.

  This weekend I'm going to buy a new one and want to know if there are any recommended HDD or SSD on who we pronned less damage during the fall. Better those lower priced at $ 150.

  Hello

  Because the HARD drives use mechanical parts, they are easier to 'die' than of the SSD. Some computers have some kind of protection against shock, they use sensors to reduce the impact (for example, the nominal military machines), but they are more expensive than our normal laptop.

  For $150, you can buy an SSD for about 120 GB, 200 GB.

  Kind regards.

• 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.
