Update hard drive for Z60T model 2512

I'm looking to upgrade my Z60t with a hard drive more and have a few questions.

1. What is the biggest hard drive I can use for example 320 GB SATA, and

2. all things special I should know when I do the installation, BIOS changes etc.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Welcome to the forum!

Any laptop SATA drive will do very well, the biggest being available a 500 GB.

Nothing should be changed in the BIOS.

I hope this helps.

  • Update hard drive for HP Pavilion DV6525em

    Can Hello, please you help...

    I have a laptop HP Pavilion DV6525em entertainment with Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit Operating System), and I wanted to know:

    Can I remove the current 120 GB/5, 400 rpm SATA1 drive and replace it with a new 320/7 200 RPM disk SATA2 (room ST9320421AS code)?

    That have an impact on cooling my laptop, because I don't want to overheat?

    Otherwise, I install a 500 GB/5 400 rpm Disk SATA2 (part code ST9500325AS), which is the same as my 120 GB drive spin speed.

    What do you recommend?

    Also a SATA2 drive will work in my notebook?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    SATA2 is supported by the chipset you use. And it can work without any problem

    If you are worried about temp then ST9500325AS will be a better choice.

  • replacing hard drive for Pav P7-1240 & SSD

    Part 1: I have a desktop computer Pavilion P7-1240. It is just 1.5 years... 1 TB Hitachi hard drive has not now.  I went out and bought a WD 1 TB Caviar Black internal Performance Desktop retail hard drive Kit (WD1003FZEX); go mainly for the guarantee of 5 years... the rest of the features seemed to match (3.5 ", 7200, 1 to, SATA 6) except the WD a 64 MB cache, the Hitach did not state on the player the amount of cache.  Will this swap drive out like for like or any other change in the drivers, etc. should be done?

    Part 2: I would like to install a 128 GB SSD in the P7 as the main OS drive.  What changes should be made so that the system recognizes the additional disk.  I tried to plug into the SATA4 slot and the power cable, but the system did not not recognize/see the SSD drive.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated for these two.   Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I return the drive and get a non-advanced HD format.  This way your recovery media, HP will work. If you do not create the external HP recovery media then contact HP support and order media.

    In addition I send back the SSD and order 240 + GB model so that the support of HP recovery will allow a restoration works.  If you decide to go with this option, then keep the hard drive for now.  It may be "well-prepared" once you have Windows 7 running with the latest updates. At least BIOS settings have been tampered with then the SSD is probably dead.

    While there may be other ways to get your PC up in the race without using the HP recovery media, this can and has led to confusion later when start HP function keys do not work properly.

  • Compatible hard drives for Portege 3480CT

    Hello

    I have a Portege 3480CT and I need to replace its 12 GB (IBM & reg Travelstar) drive hard internal since the former on a developed bad blocks. Now, I assumed that it would be relatively simple, but I was wrong.

    In any case, I got a replacement 2.5 "HD (this time a Hitachi Travelstar, 20 GB drive), but I couldn't make it work. I ran the program from IBM/Hitachi diagnosis and while the old 12 GB HDD is detected and removed ok, the 20 GB does not even get detected (i.e., seems that nothing is on the line of the IDE).

    It was suggested to me by IBM and Hitachi that there is a list of compatibility to their hard drives, and may not be supported (http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/compatibility.htm), but I could not find my disc on their list (model is HTS424020M9AT00). Basically, what I want to know is what drives * are * compatible or what my problem with the laptop is otherwise.

    For more info, when I try to install Win2k, I get an ArcRead failure, probably because he thinks that the drive does not exist.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I guess that there is problem with drive HARD and false parameter who decide if the HARD drive is the master or slave.

    In my opinion you should contact the Service partner to ask them which HDD is suitable for your device. You can also check on the net and picking up some information because there are a lot of different suppliers where you can buy the HARD drive. I also found information that it is possible to use the 40 GB HARD drive for your unit, but it must be built in by seller.

  • Satellite A105-S4074 - which HARD drive for upgrade?

    I want to replace the Toshiba MK1234GSX (120 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA-150, 8 MB cache) hard drive on my A105-S4074 laptop with a bigger. My question is whether it is good to buy a Toshiba HDD no.

    Available on direct to my computer Toshiba laptop is only the following HARD disk:
    HDDR320I02X
    Toshiba 320 GB 2.5 "5400 RPM internal notebook hard drive - SATA"
    Capacity: 320 GB
    Interface: Serial ATA 150
    Speed: 5400 RPM
    Buffer size: 8 MB

    I wonder if such a 320 GB or 500 GB WD HARD or Momentus drive will work very well, for example
    -Western Digital 320 GB / 500 GB Scorpio blue SATAII 5400 RPM 2.5 IN. 8 MB in bulk / OEM hard drive (WD3200BEVT/WD5000BEVT
    -Seagate Momentus 5400.6 320/500 GB 5400 RPM / MIN SATA 3 GB/s 8 MB Cache 2.5 inch internal NB Hard Drive (ST9320325AS/ST9320325AS)

    Also, is it wise purchase a 7200 RPM HARD drive for this laptop? Would this work?

    Thank you

    Hello

    First on interface SATA there is no capacity limit. This means that you can buy each HARD drive with SATA interface and it should work fine.

    It is also irrelevant if you buy a Toshiba, Western Digital, etc. There is not much difference between the models. It of your choice what you buy! ;)

    Theoretically, 7200 RPM HARD drive should work but don t forget that they produce more heat and need more battery power. 5400 RPM should be sufficient for most applications.

    Good bye

    This will affect the software factory example: back up hard drive function, OKR?

    Is it acquisitions have 8.1 Windows on a laptop Lenovo-B50-7?

    What will happen if I got rid of Windows 8.1 operating system?

    Thanks in advance.

    Information on the machine:

    Model name: 20384

    Windows 8.1

    I've not seen / heard of successful use of the flash drive for recovery purposes. The default software using optical disk, when I used it on my G580.

    If your laptop does not have a CD / DVD burner, you may need to contact them directly to discuss this option.

    As to where he is? It is a hidden partition on the hard drive, is usually not accessible.

    Cloning the hard drive can not return to that partition hidden - it would be a little bit the clone of the drive to work.

    I recommend to download your manual of maintenance on the Support site and learn more about the 100% specific for your laptop recovery process.

    I searched for the hard drive on my laptop dv6626us upgrades. When I read the comments they seem to all be positive with regard to the replacement of my current (factory loaded hard drive). One of the concerns is that the computer has been delivered to the factory with Windows XP loaded. I don't see the comments of those who have Windows 8.

    Upgrading the hard drive for the dv6626us with windows xp installed at the factory would be compatible with the hard disk depending on whether I have found as being compatible for windows 8.

    Hello mikee1960,

    HP does not have hardware support for Windows 8 on any system purchased before October 1, 2011.  Most of the Windows 7 drivers work in Windows 8.

    Check out this page to see if your computer has been tested by HP with Windows 8.

    You can run the Upgrade Wizard, which will scan your PC and report on what is currently installed on your PC is compatible with Windows 8.  This guide was updated for Windows 8 provides lots of information which is needed for all those planning the upgrade.

  • I can install Windows 7 on a new hard drive for HP Envy m6 1205dx

    My HP Envy m6-1205dx son is a notebook of 2013. The screen was broken and I replaced one. Now he says that there is not a BONE, I tried to install a full version of Windows 7 Professional, and he said that he there was not a boot device. I've reconfigured the BIOS to boot with the CD/DVD ROM and it started installing. When he arrives at the point of asking where to put the installation there is no option. I checked the connection to the hard drive and it is not a problem here. I think to buy a new hard drive to install the Windows 7 operating system, I am afraid that it will not work or he will say that I need to install the drivers. This laptop originally supplied with Windows 8. Can I install this version of Windows on this laptop? If I need to install the drivers how can I get them? It cannot be a website to download the drivers on your computer. I can't do without the computer having an operating system. I downloaded some drivers from a link, I saw on You Tube and put it on a flash drive, but none was consistent, one of them did read on a different/more older computer I tried to install this OS on and it says that the driver was out of date. It seems to me that a (FULL VERSION) drivers and everything else you might need. I'm not computer savvy, so I do not know! I'm just trying to save my investment of $600 on this computer without spending $300. I can get a new hard drive for $80 and it was on that I would go; However, I will buy a new Windows 8 operating system if it is the only option.

    There is no device driver Windows 7 for your model, only Windows 8:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5359748&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en

    If there is no driver, your PC may not work correctly (No. LAN or WiFi, Audio, USB, etc.) after the installation of Windows 7.

    Check your hard drive, if the laptop has been abandoned the drive may be defective and must be replaced.

    You can order a support of HP recovery:
