• HP Pavilion g7-1167, which is needed to replace the hard drive

  In fact, I have a few questions.

  First of all, I was streaming How I Met Your Mother online when a box appeared and gave a kind of message (I don't remember now). He was just sitting there, so I restarted the computer. After the reboot, the computer would not go beyond the screen "start wondows. I ran a dignostic and it says that the short test failed. I then ran a diagnostic in the bios and it ran the short test, he failed, then he ran about 5% of the test long then stopped and said "hard drive full 1."

  After looking online, I think it's a sign that it crashes. I already ordered the new hard drive and the kit at HP.

  But now I need to know how to get all my info out of it. My brother has an external hard drive that I can use, but I don't know if it will work.

  In addition, once I have installed the new hard drive I think I need to re - install windows and something else? Do I have to re - install and how do I do that if I don't have the disks? Can I do a recovery on that disk now, or is it too late? If so, how do I?

  I'm sorry, I don't know anything about computers, so any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  First of all, about your existing data, here are some options that you can try.

  1. one possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is to follow the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can launched from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files.

  2 another option would be to remove the drive HARD, place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

  External 2.5 HARD drive caddy ".

  **********************************************************************

  Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new drive, I don't think that you will be able to create a viable together your disc recovery disc HARD existing, but you can order a set of replacement of the HP recovery discs using the link below.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

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

• Satellite L300D-10B - need to replace the HARD drive

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba satellite L300D-10B and I need to replace the broken hdd in my laptop.
  It is a hitachi 160 GB at 5400 RPM SATA.

  Is it possible to move to a greater capacity (500 GB) and a little faster (7200 RPM).
  is - that someone at - he had success with any particular model?

  Hello

  In my opinion, is not a big problem to use a faster and larger HARD drive.
  The laptop supports the SATA HDD controller and this controller must be able to manage these drives.

• Need to replace the hard drive on HP DM4 2165-DX, need info on compatible disks.

  Hello.

  The hard drive in my HP DM4 2165-DX failed.

  Can someone tell me what [SSD and non - SSD] HARD disk are compatible can I buy and trade?

  Thank you.

  You will need the service manual you can download here:

  Manual

  Page 43 shows how to swap out hard drive.

  There are 9.5 mm thick and 2.5 inch wide SATA drives, mechanical or SSD. Eventually, it was mounted with a 160 GB SSD, but you can install more if you wish. I recommend at least a mechanical 7200 rpm or a hybrid disc if you do not want an SSD, but if you can afford to spend the money a SSD is the only way to go.

  It is the SSD, I have my own laptop (I have a 512 GB of the same drive model):

• I need to replace the hard drive of my Acer Aspire all-in-one 5600U?

  I have an Acer Aspire all-in-one 5600U. The other day the power in our House went out due to a storm. After she came back and went to use my computer, the screen was black and said "Reboot and select proper... boot device." ». I tried to download the tool of creation of media to a USB port and start the system using this. I can get into the menu troubleshooting but nothing works. When I try to make a custom Windows installation, it says "no signed device drivers were found". What is a hard drive problem? In the BIOS, under Boot Options is does not list a specific hard drive. It just says: 'hard drive '. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.

  Thanks, that's what I needed to know. Appreciate the help, IronFly.

• Need to replace the hard drive. Use Toshiba MK3265GSX or MK3265GSX SATA 300?

  HP laptop G72.  Windows 7 64 - bit, "Smart drive Imminent failure".  No changes to the system; updates only at HP.

  Should I replace with Toshiba MK3265GSX 320 GB 2.5 "HDD internal or should I replace with a Toshiba MK3265GSX SATA 300 5400 RPM 8 MB 2.5" hard drive. Which is better and more reliable?

  Thank you, Michael Donovan

  They are not the same thing? In fact I would not either. I would get a disk 7200 RPM with a cache of 16 meg as the WD Scorpio Black or the Seagate Momentus 7200 Series

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822148446

  For a few dollars more, you get much better faster start of performance, etc. Don't let someone convince you that heat is a problem on the disks of 7200 RPM... models current barely use any what juice more than 5400 rpm and produce almost no additional heat. If money was no object I can not also say too many good things about what will make an SSD for you.

• Need to replace the hard drive on laptop G56

  Hi all

  I have a hp g56-108sa laptop. I had the hard drive replaced once under warranty and there yet again, but I don't want to not wait 10 days so he could be replaced again if I want to get a new drive hard but with a greater capacity (mine is 250 GB and I'm looking for ay buying a 320 GB one) , and I want to replace. Is this feasible?

  I ordered a few partners hp recovery disks that I stupidly didn't create a when I had the chance. The reason I ask this question, it is that I've read that other people have had problems by replacing the original drive with the largest on laptops

  Thank you in anticipation

  Pat

  Hello

  You should have no problem with a 320 GB HARD drive, the drive on the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  Hard drive 320 GB

  The procedure to replace the hard drive is detailed on Page 37 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Once this is done, just use the recovery disks you ordered to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - they will also recreate the Partition D of recovery on the new HARD drive.

  Kind regards

• Reinstalling Windows 8 (or 10) after replacing the hard drive

  I need to replace the hard drive on my Inspiron 13-5323.  It came with the factory "injected" Windows 8 on the motherboard. Subsequently, I've upgraded to 8.1 Windows, then Windows 10.  With no Windows disk and no product key, how can I reinstall Windows on the new drive?

  Illinichip

  The product key is embedded in the UEFI BIOS, it will automatically be entered with Windows 8.1 (with update 2 media) or Windows 10 TH2 installation media. Follow the instructions here to download and create a Bootable USB (for UEFI BIOS):

• I just replaced the hard drive in my PC with my arrival of the damaged disc. I'm wondering now "activate Windows now".

  I just replaced the hard drive in my PC with my arrival of the damaged disc. I'm wondering now "activate Windows now". The code on the computer case was partly carried away and I do not have a record of it. The software has been activated once already. Suggestions, please.

  original title: hard drive swap.

  Use a magnifying glass and a strong light and see if you can retrieve the key.  It is not registered anywhere except on the label.  They are applied at the factory in batches, and there is no record that the key is affixed to a specific computer.  Recover what you can and then try to activate by phone.

  To activate Windows Vista by phone, follow these steps: click Start, and then click computer.  Click System Properties on the toolbar, and then click click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation area.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.  The Windows of Activation Wizard starts.  Click use the telephone system automated in the Windows Wizard of Activation.

• I need to format the hard drive but don't have the windows vista disc to reinstall, but have had the key code that vista was preinstalled do I have to buy a new drive for vista

  I need to format the hard drive but don't have the windows vista disc to reinstall, but have had the key code that vista was preinstalled do I have to buy a new drive for vista

  Hello

  How to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
