Pavilion DV6449 notebook hard drive compatibility

I have a HP Pavilion DV6000 (p/n: GA456UA#ABA, service tag DV6449us) notebook without a hard drive. I happened to have a Toshiba 500 GB SATA 5400 RPM used hard drive available and I would like to know if the used HDD is compatible with the notebook. I asked two computer stores and one said the notebook was limited by the BIOS with a maximum of a 200 GB hard drive; however, the other store said the notebook can take a larger size of the HDD. Could someone help clarify this for me?
If the HDD is compatible, I also would like to know what procedures would get the notebook running after the HDD installation, and if I need to update the BIOS? Do I need to format the HDD? When should I install the OS?
Also, I don’t have a HP re-install disk to reinstall the OS. Can I temporarily use my other PC’s reinstall disk (Vista Home Premium 32-bit) to test if the notebook is running correctly before I purchase an OS license? I’ll be greatly appreciative if someone can list what steps I need to take in order to get the notebook up and running.
This question was solved.

Hi:
If you successfully created the Vista DVD, you should be able to boot from it.
In order to do that, the easiest thing to do is to have the DVD in the DVD drive, boot up the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, tap the F9 key to launch the one time boot menu.
Select the DVD drive from the list of devices and hit the enter key.
If the DVD was made right, you should see a message on the screen that states in substance...Attempting to boot from DVD...Press any key to boot from DVD...
Hit any key and the PC should boot from the DVD and you should see a white bar on the bottom of the screen that shows that windows is loading files. Then just follow the rest of the instructions when the install screen comes up.

Driver Installation problem for Probook4530s

I recently got my laptop fixed and now i can not seem to access my bluetooth or use a wired LAN connection, i noticed that some of my drivers have been missing so i tried installing the drivers but they dont finish to install.
My Connection manager is saying bluetooth is disabled by device manager and there is no wired lan option being displayed, which drivers should i install to fix these two problems. I am running WIndows 7 Profesional 32-Bit and i have never changed it.

Driver for Wired LAN
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=5060884&sp...
Driver for bluetooth
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=5060884&sp...
There are multiple bluetooth drivers listed. Hence, if the above bluetooth driver doesnt fix the problem then you can find the exact driver by the device ID/hardware ID from device manager.
if unable to fix, buzz me in skype... mohammad.jahangir89

Installation fail for HP c4780 in All in One software Windows 8.1

I downloaded and attempted to install
PS_AIO_06_C4700_140_408
into Windows 8.1
The install fails part way through with the message box
Message box header contains: ....\Setup\hpzsh...
Message box content displays: The system can not find the file specified
Clicking close ends the the install with no further messages.
I attempted to use HP Print and Scan Doctor. The software apparently identifies the C4780 with the help of an installed basic printer driver (which also indicates that it can not find the specificed file and crashes but leaves a printer driver installed. This basic printer driver allows me to pull up its web page). HPPSD then indicates that it is downloading the appropriate All in One software. Downloading commences but after several minutes then stops with a failed download message.
I have to admit that I am rather disappointed with all the hoops I am having to perform to get a supposedly compatible printer installed.
I'd appreciate some help.
Thank you

Hello jmayoral,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see you where able to locate a solution to the file not found error you got while installing the Photosmart C4780 on the thread: I cannot install my HP Photosmart C4780 - I can't install my drivers and the HP solution center. Was there anything else you need a hand with?

Disc drive no longer working on HP Pavilion dv9700 Notebook PC?

I have a HP Pavilion dv9700 Notebook PC that's running Windows Vista Home Premium. This morning I inserted a CDR to burn some files via iTunes and since then, my disc drive is not responding in anyway. I tried pushing the button on the disc drive, no response. I tried ejecting it via windows explorer, no response. I tried restarting my computer to see if that would help, no response. The light on the disc drive no longer lights up in anyway. When I tried burning the CDR in iTunes, it just kept displaying the message "Please insert blank disc" over and over and didn't recognize there was anything in the drive. So, do you think the disc drive has had it? Or is there some way to reset the disc drive or fix it? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

What kind of hard drive do I need for my HP Pavilion dx6650us entertainment notebook PC?

I have a HP Pavilion dx6650us entertainment notebook PC that has the BSOD. Even when I run it in SafeMode I have absolutly NO desktop. I've tried EVERYTHING. I have lost hope. So im just going to buy a new hard drive. Does anybody have ANY idea what type of hard drive I need and aprox. how much it might cost? Please let me know(: Thank you.

It is a standard laptop 2.5 inch wide SATA hard drive like shown in this picture:
Look at Page 9 of this Manual:
Drive Manual
This will show how to replace it. Do you have the recovery disks that you could have made when the laptop was new? If not you are going to have to get a Windows disk or some HP recovery disks.
Here is a drive that would work for you.
160 gig 7200 rpm drive for $45
This drive will be faster than what you had and is a bit larger. A very good deal for the price. You perhaps already have a second hard drive in the system. See the manual on page 9 for the location of both hard drive bays. You could move the secondary drive (if there is one) over into the primary position without spending a nickel. In fact, that is a great idea. If you do that and still get the BSOD, then it might well be something else going on other than the hard drive. The hard drive is a likely issue but it could also be the memory and other things, too. However, I think the second drive is only found in the dx9000 models so do not be shocked if you do not have a secondary hard drive bay in your machine. I have never seen a dx6000 series but am pretty sure it is a lot like the dv6000 series of which I have seen more than my share. They have a lot of issues and I am concerned you will be spending money on a new hard drive that will not fix anything.
Feel free to post back with issues or questions.

Hi:
Try the XP driver. You will probably have to manually install it as follows...
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-46934-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Download and run the above file. Close out of any error windows.
Go to the device manager and click on the Multimedia Audio Controller needing drivers.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and then at the bottom of that window, select the Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
Click on Have Disk and browse to: C:\SWSetup\sp34210\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP\smwdmCH6 and select the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio from the list and see if the driver installs.
Then reboot.

AMD Radeon Driver problem in Pavilion dv7 notebook

I have a pavilion dv7 notebook and for the last couple months I have been experiencing problems with my graphics driver.
It began with a notice that my driver was out of date, so I went to the AMD website and attempted to install the update. I ran the dxdiag tool to find that I have a AMD Radeon HD 6620G graphics card. I could not find my product on the list to manually install the update, so I tried the amd driver downloader tool and it had a problem recognizing my graphics card. I then tried to update it through the HP Support Assistance and that seemed to work for awhile.
Yesterday my screen changed to the lowest resolution and a notice came up that it wasn't recognizing my graphics driver. I have again tried to manually update from the AMD website. When that didn't work I downloaded the AMD driver downloader and after installing all it told me is that "your computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter" and closed the program.
I am uterally lost at this point, and any assistance would be greatly apreciated.
This question was solved.

AMD doesn't support the custom HP graphics system and will not provide drivers for it. Typically, HP doesn't provide "routine maintenance" updates and generally only releases updates to fix known issues. You could take the computer to a professional, however they will be capable of doing nothing more than I have suggested and maybe not even that much.

Hi John,
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand DVD/CD-ROM Drives, right click the drive and select Uninstall - when this has completed, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load for a couple of minutes before checking if it's now listed correctly.
