Hp probook 4530s hard drive replacemen​t

Hey,
I just replaced my hard drive sent to me by HP. I have been all over the internet to try to set it up to no avail. All the self tests are showing as passed. The Windows 7 software was not provided when the computer was purchased. I can't access the regular desktop when the computer is started. It tells me it's lacking an OS. I tried downloading it on a different computer and starting up with the disk in the drive. No luck. Please help. It's a HP Probook 4530s

Hi:
Call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144, and order a set of recovery disks.
You will need to provide the model # and serial # to the customer services rep.
If your notebook is not under warranty, you will be charged $10 for a set.

  • Vista 64-bit Won't Update after Hard Drive Replacemen​t

    My daughter has a Satellite L305-S5945 laptop (Model Number: PSLB8U-107071).  Running Vista 64-bit SP1.  She got a message that Windows detected a problem with the hard drive.  After I ran the usual virus scans (no threats or malware detected) and chkdsk route, we were still getting the message.  I did a reformat and Windows re-install and still got the message.  The old drive was a Toshiba MK1655GSX.
    I decided to replace it with a new drive, a Toshiba MK3259GSX.  Using the same recovery disks that were created off the old drive, I reinstalled Vista 64-bit SP1 on to the new drive.  Windows loaded fine, recognized the new drive, and then recovered all the Toshiba drivers via the recovery disks.
    ISSUES:
    1) As soon as it released control back to me, I immediately went to Windows Update to begin the downloads of all the updates and security fixes.  However, Windows Update remained red and informed that Windows could not update.  Then it gave me a error code: 8024A000.  It will not check to see if I need updates.
    2) I deleted the pre-installed Norton 60-day trial product (first with Windows uninstaller, then used Norton Removal Tool for all the little pesty registry entries) and downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials.  After going through a few screens of the SE installation, I got a message that installation had failed, and gave me an error code of 0x80070643.
    3) For fun, I removed the new hard drive, replaced with the old failing drive.  Still got the message about the hd problem, but had no problem updating  Windows or running SE.
    4) On the new drive, in glancing through the WindowsUpdate log, I'm seeing a LOT of 0xc8000247 errors (relating to datastore, getservicelist, queryregisteredprovider, etc.)
    I am assuming-perhaps incorrectly-that all these errors are related?  Other than the updates, Vista is working fine on the new drive.
    Any ideas?

    Can you give us more details about that situation, Mike? A picture would help. You can attach a small one by adding the .txt extension to the file name as I have done here.
    In the meantime, try resetting Windows Update.

    Hi:
    If you want good performance from a new hard drive, get a SATA II 7,200 RPM hard drive of 500 GB or less.
    The higher RPM's give quicker seek times but it will be at the expense of battery life between charges.
    This would be my first choice of a replacement.

    If you don't need that big of a drive and want to save a little $$$, then you can get the 320 GB version of the above model.

  • Hard drive replacemen​t

    Hard drive on my: G60-535DX notebook, product No: VM085UA, crashed. What HDD to buy for replacement?

    Hi:
    Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02985882.pdf
    You can buy any quality 5,400 or 7,200 RPM notebook SATA II HDD of up to 500 GB and you should be fine.
    7,200 RPM hard drives will perform better but use up your battery faster.

  • Hard Drive Replacemen​t - Windows 7 Updates - Intel Rapid Storage - Lightscrib​e error 4224

    I recently needed to replace a damaged hard drive from overheating on a HP Pavilion dv4 notebook that comes with  Windows 7 Home Premium. The whole notebook had to be taken apart so that the dust, which had created a thick sweater, literally, blocking the CPU cooling fans, could be cleaned.
    But that was done, it's over with, just dreading the cleanup in the future. Installing a new hard drive was unexpectedly  difficult... replacing the physical part had nothing to it but, Windows 7 Updates could not work and Windows 7 SP1 installation from the dvd drive or otherwise did not work. To make it work I installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology (AHCI) package. I used the System Recovery Discs to format and install to factory settings before all else, of course... 
    All was nice and dandy until I started using Lightscribe to label the recovery discs. Error 4224 - communication error with the drive... etc etc. Updated the drivers and software from HP, completed all Windows 7 updates, updated the Lightscribe System Software and Template Maker, updated BIOS and that was a good thing, kept installing and uninstalling preinstalled HP bundles and antivirus sofware for another few days of irritating work to no avail. Finally, the culprit was found in the Intel Rapid Storage Technology installation!
    So, without Intel Rapid Storage Technology package there are no Windows 7 updates and the Windows Genuine error comes up, but with Intel Rapid Storage Technoly there's no Lightscribe functionality. I'm throwing my hands in the air after so much painstaking time spent with these issues. Is there any way around this bind? Is there a known fix to get the new hard drive to be recognized by Microsoft and have the Lightscribe functionality back?  

    Sometimes issues can arise when a driver is downloaded directly from the manufacturer, because in some cases, there are minor tweaks made to the one made specifically for your computer.
    Sometimes the developers (combination of HP software developers and the 3rd party maker's software developers) have to tweak the maker's original driver to work with all of the other components inside your particular computer. All of the dv4-2000s may have, for instance, a specific technology of hard drives and optical drives, but each different dv4-2XXX may have different brands of hard drives/optical drives.
    Graphics drivers are that way. I always recommend getting the ATI driver, not from ATI's website, but directly from the HP Driver Page, because getting the version on ATI's website will cause some issues with the HP Framework (which is responsible for making the whole web of specific components all work together) on the computer. After that several things have to be uninstalled and the correct versions have to be installed just to undo what that one driver version did.
    It gets a little complicated. Suffice it to say, always try to download it from the HP Driver Page for your model first. Then if that version or previous versions don't work, try downloading directly from the 3rd party maker's page. I hope that makes sense. Let me know if I need to clarify anything
    I'm going to recommend the following drivers:
    Intel Chipset Driver version 9.1.1.1020 A
    Intel Management Engine Interface Driver version 1.00 A
    Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver version 8.9.2.1002 A
    Intel Turbo Boost Technology Driver version 1.0.0.1030 A
    Essential System Updates version 7.00 A
    LightScribe System Software version 1.18.18.1
    Also, please check and see what BIOS version you're currently on. To do that, press the FN + ESC keys and look for 'F.##' and let me know what that is. I'll compare it to the latest version and link you to that one if necessary.

  • Trouble installing snow leopard after hard drive replacement

    My imac hdd died last weekend. And the replacement hdd came in today.
    I went through all the steps in this guide https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+21.5-Inch+EMC+2389+Hard+Drive+Replacemen t/6284 And I am pretty sure I did it all correctly.
    However, after plugging my imac back up it gave me a flashing folder with a question mark. I took this as it asking for a os disk to install with so I put my snowleopard disk into the imac. The folder with the question mark turned into the apple logo.....and that's it. It just stays on the apple logo and nothing happens. I tried leaving it like that for a good hour. But nothing changed.
    What am I doing wrong? My imac is a mid 2010 model (emc 2389). I'm pretty sure the included os on it was Leopard. Do I need to try and find my Leopard disk that was in the box? I'm not sure where it is and all I have at hand is my Snow Leopard installation disk. And if I do need to use Leopard, how would I do that if I can't find the disk my imac came with?

    With the Snow Leopard DVD in the drive, Restart the Mac while holding down the "C" key. It will then boot from the DVD drive, a slower process for sure, but not more than a few minutes. Once booted, you can use Disk Utility to verify that the new internal drive is formatted properly, GUID. Some new drives come pre-formatted as something else.

  • Probook 4530s Display Enclosure / Hinge Set / Optical Drive Replacement (Windows 7 Home Premium)

    Hello, thank you in advance for taking the time.
    I have 2 Probook 4530s, one is fully functional, with cosmetic damage (and an nonworking optical drive).
    The other is missing HD and ram, with a dysfunctional MB, but pristine as far as aesthetics.
    My goal is to replace my hingeset, display enclosure and optical drive on my working 4530s with the parts from the non-working one.
    I do have a pdf titled "c02844462" which I believe is the full manual for the 4530s.
    This brings up a few questions.
    1. Would it be easier to transfer the HD, ram, and MB from working laptop to the other, or rather transfer the hinge set, display enclosure and optical drive from nonworking to other.
    2. What tools would i need aside from a small phillips/flat?
    3. As I am fairly inexperienced with computer/laptop hardware, (I've only installed ram and replaced a keyboard) am I getting myself in too deep with either or both of these options? (my warranty is no longer applicable).
    Again, thanks for taking time to read and ponder this

  • HP ProBook 4530s USB 3.0 driver failure

    Hi,
    I have a ProBook 4530s (pn:A1D18EA#AKC) with Win7 x64 English version. There is a renesas USB 3.0 Host controller built in.
    When I install the device driver it works correctly but when I close the lid of laptop and turn it back the HW stops working and the "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" error appears in device status under device manager. When I uninstall the driver, reinstall, reboot then it works until the first sleep. Hibernating turned off. I tried many drivers without success.
    If i disable the device under device manager and re-enable it it solves the problem but it is not normal. It is seriously annoying me.
    At this time the driver information is this:
    Renesas Electronics
    2011.10.25.
    2.1.28.0
    Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher
    There is a Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter in device manager without driver.
    It displays a "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)" message. What is this hardware and where can I found a driver?
    Thanks

    Here are the device manager after powerup from sleep or from shutdown:

  • Several questions regarding an upgrade or replacemen​t hard drive. Short dst failure error.

    HP Pavilion DV6z-2100
    Windows 7 64-bit
    Short-DST failure error
    1) I'm wondering if I can upgrade my hard drive to a 1TB and/or a 10,000rpm instead of the 500GB 7200rpm.  Would there be any problems for either upgrade? What effect will the rpm's have (5400/7200/10000) and how do I decide which is best for me? Can I change from HDD to SDD?  Can I change brands?  What size (in inches or cm) must the new hard drive be?  (See hard drive info below.)
    2) I believe I can access (and open) all my files on the failing 500GB HDD.  I want to install a second OS (Ubuntu) on my new hard drive, and I think the best way to do it would be to put Ubuntu on another partition. How would I go about copying my files to the new hard drive without losing any data and keeping my Win7 license?  How would/should I partition the new hard drive?  I can boot Ubuntu via a flash drive--can I make a Win7 recovery disk if Win7 won't boot?
    3) How urgent is getting my files off the short-dst error hard drive?
    Hard drive product number:
    575476-001
    Here's what's listed for hard drives on page 53 of the service and maintenance guide (PDF file):
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/C​oreRedirect.jsp?redirectReason=DocIndexPDF&prodSer​...
    (Apparently PDF file links  can't be shortened by bit.ly.)

    The following statement is copied from the  Maintenence & Service guide for the HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment notebook. for your notebook.
    "Supports all Serial ATA (SATA) 9.5-mm, 6.35-cm (2.50-inch) hard drives". 
    Any first generation SATA 9.5-mm, 6.35-cm (2.50-inch) hard drive should work without issue. I do recommend that you use the Tune-Up utility in the HP Support Assistant to update your BIOS.
