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?

  • 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.

  • I have a HP Pavilion dv7-1444 running Vista 64 bit. I have lost all sound.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-1444 running Windows Vista 64 bit. I have lost all sound. There's a red x next to the speakeer icon on the bottom right of the screen. I have reloaded drivers, checked Device Manager, tested sounds, HP Support Assistant says I have the latest BIOS installed. I tried a one prong earphone in the two prong headset and got no sound. The mute button and the volume slider don't work either. 
    Please help me if you can.

    Go to the link below.Enter your Product Number as listed on Service Tag attached to bottom of notebook (may be under battery). You can also get the Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key. After entering PN, click Next ,then choose Software & Drivers.On the next page use the dropdown to select your OS (probably Windows 7 64bit). A list will populate with drivers. Download & Save the latest Audio driver.

    Hey Sam55555,
    I see that you're having an issue with the webcam. 
    Could you provide me with a model and product number of your notebook.
    So that I may look into this further to try and provide you with more helpful instructions.
    Also, this Document should help you out. If it doesn't let me know the full model name and i will find a document for your notebook.
    What i consider doing is the section that says "Reinstalling the original webcam program that came with your computer".

    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.
    thanks,

  • I Have a HP Pavilion DV7 1285DX laptop I can not get the speaker cover buttons working.

    I had to disassemble the laptop and now I can not get the buttons on the speaker cover working. The power button works and the buttons for the CD but the volume mute button and the wireless button will not work

    Odds are you did not connect everything back up properly. Do you have the Service Manual? I have disassembled a dv7 and it has ribbon cables going all over the place. Very confusing.

    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.

    During this process you will receive an opportunity to backup your personal files to prevent data loss.

  • Have an HP Pavilion DV7 with Radeon HD6490M Graphics Card. Photoshop doesn't recognize it.

    Photoshop CC doesn't recognize my other video card, which is a Radeon HD6490M.  Can't utilize 3D tools.  Is there something wrong with this particular video card that won't allow it to be recognized?

    Here's one idea although it is for a DV6.
    First off, reboot and press F10 to go into your BIOS.
    Switch the Graphics settings from "dynamic" to "fixed". This will ensure that your computer will not use the default Intel card. I'm not sure why, but it seems as though Rage kept using that card regardless of my settings in Windows.

  • 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!

    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.

  • Graphic card for hp pavilion dv7-3152

    Hi all!
    I have a hp pavilion dv7-3152ca I bought some time ago. For some weeks now, the laptop became a bit strange, shutting down by itself randomly with Power Kernel error 41 on win7 64.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=fr&lc=fr&dlc=fr&docname=c02143694
    After checking some place, i've seen it could come from overheating so cleaning would be a good move. After disassembling the whole thing (you have to remove any single part to do such!), problem still occurs. So it does not come from heating.
    I know it can come from several thing but as my video card is messy for a while (the vga output does not work anymore, had to buy a hdmi to vga converter to use laptop for ppt), I guess it could be the reason.
    Now, problem: which card and where to buy!?
    What kind of specs should i check for? I mean on pc, it's easy with mobo, you can get ref but for laptop... and as the laptop is not anymore under warranty, no way to get any kind of support from HP (good job guys, way to go...)
    Any inputs?
    Thanks

    If the video card is bad, it will mean replacing the whole motherboard. The video chip is soldered to it. If you need help finding the part let us know.

  • Trying to replace the Keyboard for HP Pavilion DV7-3180us. Need part number & compatible parts.

    I have a HP Pavilion DV7-3180us laptop.  I have to replace the Keyboard because I have about 7 missing keys.  I have been looking for a good replacement but I want to ensure that I am getting the lowest price and the correct part.   I don't have a lot to spend on it but it looks cheaper or about the same price, to buy the whole keyboard rather than the seperate keys.  Is this keyboard compatible with other keyboards?  This would give me more options to find one in stock and a reasonable price.  Also, need a new AC Adapter charger.  I have seen it listed with 3 different watts 65w, 90w, & 120w.  Is this accurate?  I find the parts listed under my computer manufacturer number but I am skeptical that it is correct.  I have seen some reviews where people say that the keyboard replacement listed for DV7-3180us did not fit.  Anyone with any help to make this easier I would very much appreciate.  Thanks. 

    Hi:
    My advice is to read chapter 3 of the dv7 service manual below, and cross reference the part numbers or only buy the parts you need with the HP part numbers.
