HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx Windows 7 x4 Can't Find Hard Drive

I have a HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx. I am putting in a new hard drive. I can't get Windows 7 x64 to recognize it during the install. I have tried the Intel Chipset drivers from the HP download site for my laptop. I have also tried the x64 drivers from the Intel site: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24293/a08/f6flpy-x64.zip.
I tried it with the original hard drive in and Windows 7 won't recognize it either.
Any ideas on how to get Windows 7 to recognize the drive?

Hi, Brian:
See if this works (I can't open the link you posted, so I don't know if that file contains the sata drivers for the chipset in your notebook. I know that this one does...
Download the drivers from this link below (first or second file listed -- 32 or 64 bit as applicable).
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&keyword=Intel+Rap...
Extract (copy) the files onto a usb flash drive without any folders.
With the flash drive and W7 installation media plugged into the machine, boot from the W7 installation media.
After you select the install now option, select the Drive Options - Advanced menu, then select the Load Driver option.
You should now see the storage driver files listed.
If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.
Follow the prompts and hopefully, W7 will install.

Hi s0ulLesS
Here's the product specs: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=uk&lc=en&docname=c03220956
Here is the link to service manual of your product: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03099448.pdf
You can go through Page 4 Chapter 1 of service manual. As far as your graphics chip is concerned, your current Intel HD 3000 GPU is integrated into your Motherboard and as such, is not an upgradeable component.
Although Models similar to yours come with a 'Dedicated Graphics Card', the 'Card' is still soldered to the Motherboard and can't be changed.
Hope this resolves your concern.

Hi,
I have a major problem that I need help with ASAP!
I just bought my first HP ever and as soon I came home and turned it on I realized that I can't use Skype and watch a movie or play a game at the same time because I use headphones in respect of my roommate. I need to solve this really quick because it's starting to get on my nerves. The sound from the game or movie goes out in my speakers and skype in my headphones.
When I don't use Skype all the sound is in my headphones.
I have a pavilion dv7-3090eo, Windows 7 x64 and drivers from oct 20th 2009 (the latest I could find).
I have also tried to switch so my headphones to be my standard audio output but then all sound died and I had to restart my system.

HP Pavilion DV7-3160US Fan issues

I woke up and turned on my HP Pavilion DV7-3160US which is less than 3 months old and it sounds as if the fan is loose and makes an awkward and annoying sound that stops after a few minutes but anytime I move the laptop the sound returns while in movement.
Any ideas or suggestions? Also how long does HP normally take to fix computers? I'd hate to be without my computer for a while.
Thanks.
Tim

HP Pavilion dv7-6025eo FAN ISSUE

How do I access the fan to a hp pavilion dv7-6025eo?? it makes sooo annoying noises, like some creep is attached to one of the blades and makes the fan instable... There are alot of guides on a dv-7 series notebook but none of them show on this model which has a different top cover... I just want to be able to see if there is something on the blades on the fan so I can remove it... did they really have to make it so difficult to access.........! thanks for advice

There ain't much left except the button board. If I recall, on that model the power button board is connected to the motherboard with a ribbon cable so there is no failsafe button on the motherboard. If the button board switch is bad there is no way to start it up.

Pavilion dv7-1720us Sound Problem

Hi, this laptop is fairly new, and for some odd reason my built-in speakers have not been working right. They work correctly, however, they do not sound as good as they did normally. There is a noticeable change in the quality, and it sounds distorted. I don't know if it something wrong my laptop and i need to send it in or what the problem is. I am running Vista Service Pack 2 x64 bit.

HP Pavilion dv7-6b78us Sound Problem (sound routes to built-in speakers during voice chat)

I'm having an issue with my laptop. When I play using Steam with headphones plugged in, and I attempt to start a voice call, the sound routes to the built-in speakers and I cannot switch it back to just headphones.
I tired unplugging and replugging the headphones, that didn't work,and turning down the speaker sound made the game sound not go through the headphones. What could be wrong? Restarting fixes the issue, but it happens everytime I attempt to voice chat...

This used to happen to me when I 1st purchased my laptop. Heres a solution that worked for me.
RIght click on your audio icon next to the clock, then left click the "Playback Devices" option.
On this window, look for the tab named "Communications" at the top. Heres a screenshot: http://puu.sh/4OtOO.png
When on this tab, click on "Do Nothing" this will prevent windows from switching your headphone to the speakers everytime you get a new notification.
Cheers.

Pavilion dv7-2270us Performance issues?

I recently bought a dv7-2270us laptop for christmas. When I first got it, it was running very quickly. Now, it's running slower. Is this inevitable when adding more software to your computer? Or is there something wrong with my computer? What could be causing it to run slower?
The main issues I have are when it's first starting up. It takes longer than it did at first. Again, is this just going to happen no matter what as long as I download more things on to my computer?
I still have over half of my C: Drive free- Not sure if that's significant or not.
Any info you have is appreciated, thank you for your patience.

Hi
Please note that some softwares use background processes to work, what it means is when you install certain softwares no matter if you are using them or not they might run few services in background when your system starts and the more you install the more services need to run at startup and hence more time in loading.
In some cases even after uninstalling the software some services still may run for no reason, after all humans make these software and they make mistakes and leave bugs.
What you need to do is choose softwares carefully and only from trusted companies/sources/websites.
One more thing...i do something that i dont think mostof uses follow but its working fine for me.....
If you want to try a lot of softwares which you might not use and uninstall then i suggest you make a restore point in your system. If you dont like the software and feel to unstall it..then unstall it and restore your system to the previous restore point you created..In this way you will get rid oif anything that software might have left for your system to slow down.

HP Pavilion Dv7 No sound through Headphones.

Hi,
The speakers work fine, but when i plug in the headphones I dont get any sound, maybe an occasional loud click when i insert the jack. I tried disabling and renabling the playback devices but still nothing.
Help would be appreciated, the laptop is a day old and headphone use is essential for me.

Are you certain you are plugging in the headphone and mic plug into the correct jack?
Please identify your notebook/pc .

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!

Hi @KaayHpBeast ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a terrific place to find answers.
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that you are unable to update the drivers manually that you receive an error " "WINDOWS ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM INSTALLING THE DRIVER SOFTWARE FOR YOUR DEVICE"
"ACCESS DENIED" ".
You could also try a restore back to when it was working properly. HP and Compaq PCs - Restoring Windows to a Previous Point (Windows 7)
If that is not possible or does not work I would try installing the original drivers from the recovery manager and then run the HP Support Assistant to obtain the HP updates.
Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7)
If the issue remains, I suggest you do a full recovery back to factory.
Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7)
During this process you will receive an opportunity to backup your personal files to prevent data loss.

Hp pavilion dv7 hard drive issues

I have an HP Pavillion dv7 Notebook PC(product number: XG834UA#ABA) that is currently displaying an "imminent failure" warning in the form of a SMART hard disk error (Hard Disk 301).
I ran a Primary Hard Disk Self Test where it passed both Quick and Full test but failed the SMART check (again at Hard Disk 1 SMART 301).
It isn't making any particularly strange noises (clicking etc.) and I guess it is also important to say that I am no longer under warranty.
I have already backed up (and removed) my documents onto an external drive for safe measure.
I am completely new to this type of thing so some words of advice as to what to do would be greatly appreciated. I live only 30 minutes away from the Atlanta HP Support Center but I'm not sure they will repair a laptop not under warranty, even if I have to pay a fee.
Where would I begin fixing it? As a college student with online portions of class, I'm afraid of how this will affect my schooling and registration.
The hard drive is a SAMSUNG HM641JI.

I would replace the hard drive. That is a 640 gig 5400 rpm drive and you can get a bigger faster drive for a reasonable price.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2W014M8026
If the computer is still working well enough to boot into Windows you can do a complete system backup and recover all your data, settings, programs, etc onto the new drive or we can help you do a disk clone of the old drive to the new.
Since your laptop will actually hold two hard drives simultaneously you could even put the old drive in the secondary bay so you have a copy of all your old stuff right at hand.

I have a hp pavilion dv7 6c95dx

my laptop have 2 hard drives
i know i asked this question 30 mins ago but some reason i cant post on it so ill make a new one
THE QUESTION
if i unplug 1 hard drive will it work fine?
yes or no
i dont care if it breaks or the windows 7 gets removed
i built laptops
in fact i have a gaming pc

I am not sure I fully understand what you are asking. Yes, it can run on one hard drive, in fact most of them come from the factory with only 1 drive installed. What exactly are you trying to do?
