HP Pavilion dv6 6024tx HDD Caddy

I want to add a SSD to my laptop, but that would require using the optical bay. 
Just wondering if HP themselves manufacture caddies which would be a perfect fit for my dv6 6024tx model. I'd prefer it to look as if I haven't done anything

  • Put SSD to Hp Pavilion dv6

    Hi,
    I know I have to put the SSD in the main caddy and the HDD wil be put in the optical bay.
    Is it compatible with my notebook?

    I have a new Hp Pavilion dv6-6c06eh notebook.

    No the ebay item you have linked is for older laptops that use an ide optical drive. The adapter allows a second SATA hard drive to be used with an ide optical drive interface. Yours is a SATA optical drive. The connector would be different where the device plugs into the laptop.

  • Can't Install Windows 7 Home Premium on my new Pavilion dv6

    Well guys I have a serious problem here. I recently bought myself a new HP notebook and as I took a first glance at all the unnecessary programs and applications that were allready installed I decided to reinstall windows from the start. So i downloaded a free Windows 7 Trial and burnt the image to a dvd. I thought I could activate the trial later on with my genuine Windows 7 key on the back of my notebook. But the win7 setup didn't even get me that far! After that I had formated the HDD during the setup process it just get's to "finishing installation". This is where the following error message pops up:
    "Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware"
    All I can do here is just click "ok". Then the computer reboots and it says "the windows installation wasn't finished before" or so..
    Please, please help me! I have no idea how to solve this problem! Could maybe a hp employee help me out?
    This is my product:
    HP Pavilion dv6-7145ez (B8G15EA)

    I thank everybody for solutions

    Hi:
    Try using this free partitioning and formatting software on your C:\ drive first.
    http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
    Did you use this method of making a W7 DVD that I have posted for dozens of users who have all gotten W7 to install this way?
    If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
    Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
    Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
    Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
    The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
    Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
    Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC unable to boot recovery disk

    HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC unable to boot recovery disk.  First when I power on my notebook it goes straight to the launch recovery or launch Windows normally screen.  When I choose start windows normally, it goes to the window screen and freeze.  When I try to launch the start-up with windows 7 start-up disk, the computer will not load the files.  When I tried to complete a hard drive test, it failed with a failure ID 9UXNXA-55E65V-XD003G-60XR03.  
    I'm looking for a solution, can someone help?

    Hi:
    It sounds like you need to purchase a new hard drive for your notebook, and reinstall the operating system with your recovery disks.
    When a HDD fails a diagnostic test, it normally means it is done for.

  • HP Pavilion DV6 3122TX recovery partition deleted, need to install windows

    Hi,
    I have a Pavilion DV6 3122TX notebook. The system would hang profusely when ever I was accessing any file, no it was not a virus or anything, I found out it was the HD due to error screen at startup "Hard Disk Error, Hard Disk 1(3F1)", I ran all self checks and diagnostics but nothing improved. So I formatted the drive completely deleted all partitions even the internal recoveries and others (my bad).
    My recovery disc cannot be read by the laptop, the DVDRom LED blinks for a few seconds then nothing happens, "It says invalid system disk. Replace the disk, and then pres any key blah blah blah ..." The disc is fine I have checked. I changed the boot options to boot from internal CD/DVD.
    I need a working windows as a temporary solution as quickly as possible. I cannot install Windows 7  apparently this is due to some lock (turns out it was unable to detect the HDD). Windows XP cannot see the drive due to AHCI driver requirement (can't switch back to IDE) due to BIOS lock. So I tried the AHCI driver slipstream method, now here's my problem I can't find the proper AHCI drivers for my laptop since I cannot login to Win to check with CPUz. Can someone direct me to the right text-mode drivers for this laptop to slipstream into winxp x86 using NliteOS. I'll take the laptop to be fixed to a service centre next month but now I need a solution. Even if you can fix my recovery solution it would be great.
    I can access the hard drive using Linux. So the HDD is ok, please do not refer me to change the HDD that is not an option right now. (HDD was the problem)
    Sorry for such a long post
    Thanks in advance..

  • HP Pavilion Dv6 7078CA Recovery without recovery disc

    Hello!! i have an Hp Pavilion Dv6 - 7078ca, and after just 6 months of use, the Hard Drive just died.
    because i live in Brazil, and brought the Computer back home, i couldnt use the warrant, since the warrant is for canada only.
    so i changed by my own the HDD for one on the exact same model that it had, but for my surprise, when i used the recovery media that i had made, the DVDs were corrupted, so i coudnt recover it using the recovery media.
    I tried to install the windows 7 home premium (the same that came with the notebook), but there was some hardware incompatibility, so i couldnt install the drivers of it.
    and the worst problem is: i cant even order other recovery media, because even if i ask them to deliver in some friends house in Canada, so this friend ships for me, HP canadian website dont accept international credit card.
    so, my question is, anyone know if i am able to restore my computer without this recovery medias? if yes, how can i do that?
    thanks!!

    Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion dv6-7078ca Entertainment Notebook Computer. According to the specs, this model shipped with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed at the factory. Here is the HP Software and Driver Downloads page for your computer.
    You can use the information in this HP forum thread entitled "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" to download, create the media, and install Windows 7 Home Premium using the Windows product key on bottom of your computer. Please note that this will not restore any of the HP "value-added" that originally come installed on your computer.
    If you have any issues installing Windows, please post back. If, after Window is installed, you have missing and/or unknown device listed in the Windows Device Manager... please provide the "Hardware Ids" of the devices.

    Had the C partition been split/shrunk to form a new partition previously?
    Does disk management show the HDD as basic or dynamic? (Start>Right-click Computer>Manage>disk management on the left).
    If it has been switched to dynamic (Windows does this automatically when more than 4 partitions are present on the disk), then the F11 recovery partition won't function until it is restored to basic, but I would like to confirm that is the scenario before providing those steps.
    The Disk management shows that my HDD as Dynamic, what should i do then if this is the case and the possible solution to my problem?
    please help me & Thank you for your time,

    If you have more than 4 partitions you will need to delete the extra partition/partitions, then convert the hdd back to Basic.

  • Hp pavilion dv6 3034nr system recovery

    I have a 3 year old HP Pavilion DV6 3034nr Entertainment Notebook having Win 7 home premium installed that I wish to restore to factory settings.I made another partion and changed the drive letters of existing partions. I have either lost or never made system recovery discs. Now how can i do that....

    Hi there:
    Follow this useful document:
    http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01867418
    If the recovery partition in the laptop HDD has been corrupted or removed, then you may not be able to recover to factory using that. But you can by ordering recovery USB from HP directly & using that.

  • Pavilion dv6-1125es - Hard Disk problem

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6-1125es (out of warranty) with Vista Home Premium (32 bit) that runs very slowly and freezes but this does not seem to be caused by malware. I was considering reinstalling but decided to run diagnostics first. In the System Diagnostics (Setup), the Start-up Test (F2) finds no problem in the Memory Test, Hard Disk Quick Test or Hard Disk SMART Test.
    In the System Diagnostics Hard Disk Test (F4), the Quick Test indicates Passed (100%) but the Full Test shows:
    - 00% Complete
    -‘Replace Hard Disk1’(in red) followed by ‘testing’ (in white)
    The SMART check indicates Passed
    On pressing Esc to continue, the next screen shows (in blue)
    - “Hard Disk Test” Failed
    - “Hard Disk 1 FULL” (305)
    The Diagnostic Log shows Result: 0305
    I would be grateful for help with the following points:
    1) Is the ‘0305’ error unfixable? Does it mean replacing the hard disk?
    2) The current disk is 320 Gb. What is capacity limit for this model dv6-1125es?
    3) If I install Windows 7 on the new disk, can the 64 bit version be used on this model?
    4) As this laptop has also been running hot, I would like to try to clean the fan and ventilation system. Where can I find instructions on this?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    To answer your questions.
    1.  The 305 error does mean you will need to replace the Hard Drive.
    2.  You can certainly go up to a 500Gb HDD without any problems - see the procedure starting on Page 69 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
    3.  Yes, your processor is 64bit capable - see Here for confirmation of this.
    4.  There are instructions for cleaning your notebooks air vents Here.

    I think the high heat situation and damaged your video chip at the very least and someone will have to open the laptop and reflow, reball or replace the video chip. If this machine is in warrantee, you need to call HP or contact them before it is out of warrantee.

  • Hard drive in the HP Pavilion dv6-1145ew

    Do you know what could be the maximum supported hard drive in the HP Pavilion dv6-1145ew and at what speed they need to work?
    Sork for such a question but do not know much about this brand, and now space was missing. I thought about 5400rpm 1TB WD SCORPIO? Will it work in this laptop?
    Thank you

    Hi:
    I can't say for sure, but you have to make sure that if you get a 1 TB HDD, that it is the same thickness of a drive with less capacity or it may not fit in your HDD bay.
    Many 1 TB HDD's are thicker than a 500, 640 or 750 GB HDD.
    So, a 1 TB HDD should work if it has the same physical dimensions as the 500 GB HDD supported in the notebook.

  • SSD for Pavilion dv6

    Hello  ,
    i have Pavilion dv6-2174ca.
     with windows 7  64-bit
    recently , since 2 days i start get the message of Hard failling...error SMART 301 .
    my question , if i buy SDD to replce the HDD , will it be okay for my laptop?
    like if i got the Samsung 840 pro 256gb SSD
    i'm worry if my laptop will be older , and will the SSD will not work with it
    Thanks in advance for the help

    Be sure and buy the  SSD drive with the cloning kit. It will make life easier. Without the cloning software and cable, upgrading to an SSD is generally a command line procedure using the DiskPart command-line utility and not as easy for many people.

  • Ssd compatability Pavilion dv6-3118sa

    I have a Pavilion DV6-3118sa laptop and the hard drive has died without warning. I am trying to find out if I can take this oportunity to replace the failed drive with an SSD.
    Does anyone know if the machine is compatable with SSD's . I'd like to replace with an SSD of the same size as the original HDD (500GB).
    Any help would be much appreciated as there is no useful info in the HP support area of their site.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Thank you for your reply. I suspected as much but it would be good if there was something somewhere that listed compatible or non-compatable devices for SSD's.
    I know it could be a lonk list, but I'd prefer if someone "in the know" sayts so, especially when the cost of an SSD is so much.
    The drive is for my wifes machine so I wanted to get the biggest drive I could, within a price range, ao she doesn't worry about running out of space.
    I'm in England and got a 480GB Crucial drive from Scan for £220. More than I wanted to pay but it's done now. I closed my eyes when I clicked the buy button.
    Thanks again for your reply.

  • URGENT QUESTION concerning Pavilion DV6 laptop charger

    Hey I have a question: I have two HP laptops; one is the Pavilion dv6 and has a charger with the series number PPP009L-E, with input 1.6A and 65W;
    The other laptop is the Pavilion dv6-3236NR, with the charger having the series number PPP009D, with input 1.7A and 65W.
    My question is, can I use the second charger for the first charger's laptop? My first Pavilion dv6 won't charge at all! Could someone PLEASE help me ASAP and tell me if it's the charger's problem, battery problem, or both, and whether I could use the second charger on the laptop!

    Hi Sekhar,
    Well the error code would certainly indicate that the drive has started to fail, but just in case, you could try wiping the entire Hard Drive first and then reinstalling the Operating System as described below.
    Download and install Killdisk on the link below - ( this application will write zeros to the entire drive ).
    http://software.lsoft.net/KillDiskSuiteFree-Setup.exe
    Download and install ImgBurn on the link below.
    http://download.cnet.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html
    Go to the Kill Disk application you have installed in All Programs, open the main folder, then select Bootable Disk creators and from that select Bootable DOS CD Creator which will burn the bootable ISO to a blank CD.
    During the next process do not worry about any warnings as your Windows 7 installation disc will reformat the HDD.
    Insert this CD in to your PC that is unable to load Operating System properly. Shut the notebook down, then start it again to boot from the Killdisk CD and follow the on screen instructions for Kill Disk.
    A brief description of the process is here Killdisk.
    Use this to wipe the whole of the Hard Drive, highlight (80h) and press f10 ( you will also have to type a confirmation and hit enter ) - ( this will make sure you include all partitions and then start the process - this may take a couple of hours! ). 
    When the process is complete, remove the Killdisk CD and try installing Windows 7 again.
    If it still fails, I think your only option is to replace the HDD.
