Hard drive in hp dv7 4002tx

Just enquiring if there is a hard drive size limitation on the HP dv7 4002tx
Have a samsunf spinpoint 2.5" 1.5tb drive i was thinking of putting into it but am wondering if it will accept it.
The primary drive failed and i have replaced that with the secondary. Want to put the 1,5 in as a secondary for storage.

There is no size limit in SATA hard drives. It will work. Enjoy.

Hi,
The right part number for the hard drive kit is 681976-001. The support website for the laptop is on HP Sweden so run the part number on google.co.uk (or your Swedish). I have found the cheapest on us amazon for $38 or £42.

How do I add a second hard drive to my dv7-3060us?

I'm very short of space on my HP originally installed 500GB hard drive and need more storage space. I have a new Seagate 750GB drive, 7200 rpm, and would like to install it. When I opened the case to access the second hard drive compartment, I was stymied when I found no connectors pre-installed. What do I need to do to install this drive?
Thanks!

How big of a hard drive will a DV7-1150us support?

I have an HP Pavilion DV7-1150us that the hard drive failed in and needs to be replaced. How large of a hard drive will this PC support?

The largest listed as an order option is 320GB- but I would think at least a 500Gb could be used. The biggest issue you face, if using Vista Recovery Discs, is that most hdd's are now AF (Advanced Format) and they rarely (never) work with this type hdd. I would suggest searching around for non-AF hdd if you will be using Vista.

Dv7-1240 hard drive fit into dv7-4087cl?

I have a dead motherboard in my dv7-1240us laptop. Does my new laptop (the dv7-4087) have a space for an extra hard drive as the old one did? WOuld the old Hard drive fit into the new latptop?

There is a space in the new one, but there is no caddy and connector provided. The old hard drive will work, but the caddy and connector from the old one is not the same. So you need to find the caddy and connector. HP does not offer it. There is a third party device available but nobody here has tested it. For $40 I say it is worth the try. Check this other thread in this forum for further information:

What kind and how to add a second hard drive to my dv7-6157cl?

I want to add a second hard drive, which can be done on this laptop. What type of hdd would I purchase?
Can I add a solid state drive?
Are there instructions on how to do this on this particular model?
Thank you

I would not use a SSD for a second drive, there is really no benefit to this, an SSD would be much better for the primary hard drive where the OS runs from.
Any standard laptop Sata hard drive will work
You would need a hard drive hardware kit, includes bracket, shield, screws, and data cable.
I would contact HP parts to be sure you get the correct part(s) for your specific model
Here is your service manual which has instructions on how to replace hard drives in that model

Hard Drive Replacement for dv7-4060us notebook

I have an HP Pavilion notebook which now has 8GB memory installed but my notebook performance stats for my unit remain at 5.9 because my Hitachi hard drive is slow and hinders my graphics work. I need help choosing a faster hard drive. I like my notebook and cannot afford to purchase a new unit and I also want to retain my Windiws 7 OS. I need expert advice on what I should look for in a new hard drive to upgrade my notebook performance. I would appreciate any help to accomplish this goal.

I suggest to consider a SSD:
http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9230882/Hard_disk_drives_vs._solid_state_drives_Are_SSDs_fina...
I have been using SSD for about three years and can't imagine that I'm go back to a common hard drive. Solid drives are cheaper every day and also bigger so it's worth to have one today. In case you are interested, Corsair, Intel, Samsung, Kingston, OCZ and some others are good makers. Your laptop is most likely SATA II so get one and see for yourself..

ReBoot after Hard Drive Change Pavilion DV7 Problems

HP Pavilion DV7 LapTop Windows 7 Old Drive had massive problems and was slow as... molasses. We made a recovery disc and then installed the new drive. The computer boots, but it asks for imagery and we don't know what its asking for. so we cancel out and it goes to a screen that asks us what drivers we want to install. once again we don't know what drivers to install. cancel out goes to another screen, offering choices for 1)Startup Repair (which won't work, runs for every does nothing) 2)System Restore (won't work) 3)System Image Recovery (won't work) 4) Windows Memory Diagnostic( ? ) 5) Command Prompt ( ? ) 6) Recovery Manager (?) So can someone help? Want to have the laptop boot up and load OS.

Since you have the install disk you want to make sure you boot from the disk. I believe its F9 to enter boot options on DV7 and select the dvd drive to boot from. There disk should then run automagically and install windows 7.

Upgrading Hard drive & RAM

Hi,
I own a HP dv7-3085dx (product no : VM188UA#ABA) and I need to upgrade my hard drive to a SSD & upgrade my RAM. currenlty I'm having 500GB hdd & 6144MB DDR3 ram.
1. Please let me know whether Serial ATA III SSD (Samsung - 840 EVO 250GB Internal Serial ATA III Solid State Drive) is compatible with my mother board. And is it possible to use this SSD(primary) together with my old HDD(secondary).
2. Do i need to buy any extra cables for this upgrade?
3. What is the transfer rate of my RAM? so i could buy a compatible RAM.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Your specific motherboard has the Intel 5 series chipset which only is capable of SATA-II. However, the SATA-III Samsung 840 Evo will work just fine and you will still see amazing speeds. You have picked a good SSD (the same one I am using so I am a bit prejudiced).
As for the memory, here is the crucial.com page on your model showing it will take up to 8 gb (2 x 4 gb) of DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM.
http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Pavilion%20dv7-3085dx
And yes, you can use 2 hard drives in any dv7. You will need a second drive caddy and cable available here:

Pre Purchase Question: Adding a second hard drive on a DV4t

I'm really interested in the DV4T and I was customizing online but can't seem to find any option to add or even where to purchase an internal second hard drive for the SmartBay. Could someone help, Thanks in advance.

The dv4 series only has 1 hard drive bay, you cannot install a second drive. If you want to have more than one hard drive, try the dv7 series

Pavilion dv7 - Can I add a second hard drive?

I have an HP Pavilion dv7 2173cl laptop. I've read that I can add a second internal hard drive. Is that correct? If so, what is the max size that it will take? Any special type that I should buy?
Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi,
This model allows to use 2 HDD's. Max capacity is 500 GB.
To install second drive you will need Hard Drive Caddy and Cable Connector. You may buy them here.
Here is service documentation for your model. On page 46 you may check where you may install secondary hard drive.

Pavilion Dv7 4165dx Hard drive failure and performance issues?

I have a pavilion dv7 4165dx notebook that was working great until a couple of months when the performance of my machine started to decrease rapidly. I have performance issues with the machine because it takes 1 to 2 minutes to get from the welcome screen to the actual desktop and another 3 to 4 minutes for it to be ready to use. I already upgrade the memory from 4gb to 8gb but instead of going faster it goes slower and i also did a clean install of windows but it didn't help. Before i have problems it took maybe 30 to 50 seconds to go from the welcome screen to the actual desktop and 1 minute and 30 seconds to be ready to use and by the way i use soluto to tell me when the machine is ready for use.Then last week i notice that the headphone jack wasn't working properly so i contact hp and they told me to send them the laptop so i did, they replace the motherboard and they send it back to me and i just got it today it got a little better but it still lags on the welcome screen and to open programs. I check the memory using memtest 86 and the memory it's fine, but i check the hard drive with HDD Regenerator 2011 and it show i have one delayed sector. Then i check on hd tune pro and it show me some WARNING on section Calibration retry count( as you can see on the picture below) so my question is should i be worry and send it back to hp or what can i do to fix the problem i am having with this notebook?

I have the same laptop and have had issues with it since the day i brought it home. I have had it for a year now and am now replacing the hard drive for the 3rd time. My guess would be its your hard drive because most of the issues you seem to be having ar the same ones ive been dealing with for a while. I can say I'm very mad about the quality of this laptop and am in the process of battling with HP over this issue. If you have a chance go online and look at all the hard drive issues that this laptop has had and even look at the HP forums for this issue it will irritate you and make you wonder why this hasn't been fixed yet!
