What kind of hard drive is HP Pavilion dv6700. its about 7 years

its running vista, but the computer will not start all the way.  I did a diagnostic test and it said to replace the hard drive so im wondering what kind of hard drive is in it.   What is happening is the load on the computer to the microsoft, just before you put your password and then just stays black.

Piece of cake on your model.

If the test indicates the disk needs to be replaced, I would not argue against this info.

You can try reinstalling the operating system before you buy a new HARD drive, but if it doesn't, then you know that the drive is kaput.

Here is the link to the service manual.

R & R procedures are in Chapter 4.

http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01295877.PDF

You will also need to reinstall the operating system. You can see if the recovery discs are available by contacting HP technical support.

If you can read the product key of MS Vista 25 characters on the bottom of your PC, you can do your own Vista installation disc and allows to install the operating system.

If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

I selected no, make the ISO file.

It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT PC desktop computer, they worked perfectly.

When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

This is where I buy my PC hardware:

At the top of the drive of 250 GB 7 200 rpm of line:

A 250 GB drive to 5 400 rpm standard of good quality.

You must transfer the caddy, the screw and the connector from the old HARD drive to the new, so nothing to mix until the job is done.

  • Lenovo ideapad Y510P what kind of hard drive is this?

    Hi people,

    I have a question. Today I want to defragment my Ideapad Y510P, but I don't know why I have 5 stations of hard drive? What type of disc is \\?\Volume{3db4... (see photo)

    Gamenick wrote:
    But that disk station is fragmented by 29%, it does not matter?

    As noted that the partition has been created by the operating system. I don't know what (probably for recovery). Since there is a schedule for Defrag I think it will be supported by the system when the time comes. So I just deal with C and D and leave the others alone. The other two partitions should be used by OKR.

    Hello

    This is a technical director of the machine so very little information we can find. He uses this means you can use any standard SATA HDD SATA. If you want to buy the original size and the brand, you can order from HP, or any computer store.

    My suggestion: a WD SATA II 750 GB at 7200 RPM should work fine.

  • Adding a hard drive to a Pavilion 6000 series computer

    My Pavilion p6210f computer blew a motherboard and I could not find a replacement card, so I bought refurbished HP computer. It seems the same, but the model number is simply: P6000 series.

    I am running Windows 7, so what matters.

    Hello Linda820, here is the link for information on how to remove the hard drive from the Pavilion p6210f.

    Look at the bottom of the page for instructions on hard drive. It is a fairly simple process.

    The only real "shove" the process is the system of lock at the bottom of the hard drive cage. You can see in the photo instructions.

    Since you know exactly on the other HP model, it should be the same procedure to install the disk hard of the faulty system to the recently acquired system, or close to the same.

    You must cable Sata of the old system, given that the other system probably does not have one, and you need to connect to the right of the current hard drve Sata port port.

  • What size of HARD drive is compatible with my Satellite A100-771

    Hey guys,.

    is there a size limit of HDD for my A100-771?
    And what type of HARD drive I need? IDE or SATA?

    Thank you very much.
    Eathen.

    Hi dude

    From my experience, the Satellite A100 series was equipped with SATA drives.

    There should be a SATA HDD controller and you can use SATA 2.5 hard drives.

    I think that there isn t disc HARD size limit since the SATA controller is not limited to all special HARD drive sizes

    I think that most SATA HDD must be compatible

  • What type of HARD drive I can use Satellite M70-337?

    Hello
    I want to upgrade my Satellite M70-337 with a 120 GB HARD drive. I have an external USB with a Toshiba MK-1234GAX 120 GB disk drive in it, I could share with my original 40 GB hitachi drive.
    Is this compatible with the laptop HARD drive toshiba, if not, what is the specification for the necessary HARD disk?

    Thanks for any help!
    Károly

    Hello

    I think what you need is a HARD drive with the SATA interface. I think that the 40 GB of HARD drive that was installed in your laptop supports a 5400 RPM.

    To my knowledge the external USB case supports an IDE hard drives. But you know, it is possible to s that your external HARD drive supports a SATA interface. In any case, you must check it before using this laptop computer HARD drive.

    In addition, there is a problem with the size of the HARD drive. It is a 120 GB HARD drive and, possibly, the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive. I think you can use 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB hard drives but I'm not sure about the 120 GB.

    But you can test it.

    Hello

    How fast is fast is the real question.

    Have you looked at hybrid drives OCZ? Expensive but probably the fastest option.

    Seagate also made a hybrid hard drive.  Good price... You will need a 3.5 "to 2.5" support if the player does not support.  If you install the drive in an empty optical Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 2.5" support.

    Your other choice is 7 200 or 10 000 rpm traditional hard drives.

    Another option would be to add a PCI sata and two external hard dirves configured in RAID 0.
