I need help installing a 120GB SSD on my IQ506

I got a new 120GB SSD for Christmas and need help on installing it.  I can't find a hard drive port or panel anywhere.  Do I need to completely take this apart?  Do I need to preconfig my hard drive before setting it up?  I also have a new Windows 7 Home Premium to install if it will work.
Sorry for all the questions, but search wasn't helpful for me.

If you go to your support page, click Product Information. Click Product Specifications, then click "(name of PC) Product Specifications". Scroll down to hard drive and expand it, make sure the details of your new hard drive match the details on the page.
Here's the hard drive replacement page for HP Touchsmart PCs:

I have more HP devices than you'd expect.
1 HP TouchPad 32 GB with Android
2 HP Touchsmarts (310-1000z and IQ527)
2 HP Printers (J6480 and J5750)
1 Laptop (HP DV6253CL)
Have at least some experience in each of those devices, and i'll do my best to help you.
Kudos if I helped!

  • Need help installing Samsung 830 SSD on MacBook Pro 13"

    Hello everyone, my MacBook Pro recently crashed a couple weeks ago and I tried to get it working but no luck! So I figured it was the perfect time to make an investment in SSD and check out how it is.
    So I bought a Samsung 830 SSSD 128gb. I installed the hard drive and inserted the Mac OS X disc and booted up my MBP. Once I went through the installation, it asked me where I would like to install the OS on but my SSD didn't appear. Can someone please help me? I am not too savvy with computers.
    As of now, I only have access to my PC so someone please help me  :( Thanks in advance! :)

    OK, you have an original installation disc (usually a gray disc that came with your Mac)?
    Boot from the Install disc. You should have the option of either selecting Disk Utility from the main menu or from a "Utilities" menu at the top.
    Open Disk Utility.
    You should see a disk with a strange name. Select it and choose "Erase" with the Format as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and a Name such as "Macintosh HD" (or whatever you'd like to name it. Just select erase - no need for a secure erase or anything.
    Once you've formatted the SSD you should be able to quit Disk Utility and continue installing the system on the newly formatted drive.
    Give it a shot - call back with any problems as I'll be up all night...

  • I need help installing Realtek ALC880 driver on HP Pavillion a1104x

    As the title says, I need help installing the Realtek ALC880 audio driver on my HP Pavillion a1104x
    I installed a fresh copy of Windows XP Home SP2 and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
    I download the Microsoft UAA Driver
    Then I install the Realtek Driver
    When the Microsoft UAA driver installs, it tells me that I have an audio device
    When I install the Realtek driver, it dissappears and the realtek driver shows up in my device manager but the Realtek sound manager doesn't show up nor does any audio device show up in the windows sound manager.
    Please help

    Try clearing the CMOS.  No sound device in Device Manager generally means that Windows in not detecting the device when it boots up.
    Try a device manager hardware rescan and see if Windows will redetect the sound device.
    Try these two Intel utilities and see if anything will need updates.  #1 might not find the appropriate hardware so be too concerned.
    Intel Driver Update Utility  Intel Driver Update Utility
    Intel Chip Set update  Intel chipset update utility
    A yellow question mark or yellow exclamation point in device manager would indicate a software driver or hardware issue. Go to www.realtek.com for the latest XP driver.

    Hello,
    Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.
    Your computer comes with Win 8 pre-installed but one of the steps to install/run Windows 8.1 is having updated drivers for Windows 8.1
    Please, go to Control Panel -> System (or Start -> type winver and open) and verify what is your current version - if it is Windows 8 or 8.1
    Windows 8 is version  6.2.x
    Windows 8.1 is version  6.3.x
    If Windows 8 in place, then , please read this article and enroll in the steps:
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/pdf/instruct_update_win8.​1_EN_tcm_245_1508074.pdf
    Update to the latest drivers prior and post installation respectively for win 8/8.1 :

  • Need help installing Snow Leopard.

    Need help installing Snow Leopard on a 2009 iMac. Hard drive is only choice for location and message says hard drive can't be used because it is used for Time Machine backups. Ultimate goal is to upgrade to OS 10.6.8.

    Check to see if you have a file called backup.backupdb
    If you do that means at some time in the past Time Machine was configure to backup to that drive
    If that is not where you want your backup to to go, and it should not be stored there any way, then delete it and the install should work then.

  • Need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based

    I need help need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based so if u kno how pls message me thanks
    <Email Edited by Host>

    You need to purchase the upgrade disk (it is a DVD). Then just put it in and run the installer. When it was first released it was $29 USD, do not know if the price has changed or not.
    The usual precautions about backing up your data apply. In fact I would recommend either making a Disk Image of your current boot drive or using something like Carbon Copy Cloner to copy it to an external drive. I upgraded 5 machines from Leopard to Snow Leopard without any issues, but better to be safe than sorry.

    So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use."  I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working. I even  uninstall google chrome thinking it was the problem but I'm still having that problem so I really don't know what to do because now the only place Flash player is installed seems to be Google chrome that I had to redoawload, but everywhere else tells me that I need to install it.

  • Need help installing Adobe Pro 9 Product code [removed by moderator] to my new PC tower.

    Need help installing Adobe Pro 9 to my new PC.

    Hi albertc40027908,
    You might need to deactivate Acrobat 9 from your old machine.
    Then, install the software from a CD (if you have) and activate with the same serial number.
    If you don't have a CD, then you might install Acrobat 9 pro from the below mentioned link:
    Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
    Hope this helps.
