Maximum supported HDD size for HP Elitebook 8440p runing Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit

     Hello, I've just purchased an HP Elitebook 8440p "Off Lease" from Tigerdirect and am looking to upgrade both memory (from 4 GB to 8 GB) and put in the largest allowable HDD I can. Either a 512 GB SSD or a 1TB WD Hybrid WD BLACK2 (1 TB HDD / 120 GB SSD Combo drive in One Package!). I would appreciate knowing the Largest Addressable HDD using Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit OS since I don't seem to able to find that info on the web. HP only offers only a 256 GB SSD in its Specs. but I wasn't sure if that was do to BIOS limitations or availability at time of production, same for HDD at 512 GB.
     Also, I would like to know if the Drive Bay's 9.5mm compliant which it needs to be for the WD drive. Can't find that either and while the new laptop has yet to arrive, not everyone measures precisely the same way as to what will work and what just can't be "cheated".
     Thank you for taking the time to read this and ANY information along these lines would be Greatl Appreciated!

Hi,
You can install 1TB HDD or SSD (even more), no problem. Many SDD's now are thinner than standard 9.5mm but they normally come with with plastic or even metal part(s) to raise up to 9.5mm standard. FYI: few days ago, I installed a Crucial 960GB M500 SSD to one of my laptops to test Windows 10, it has a metal frame which allows it to fit nicely on a normal laptop HDD bay,
Regards.

  • Maximum External HDD Size for Time Capsule?

    I recently bought a 3TB Hitachi Touro Desktop external HDD, and was wondering if the TC would be able to recognize it (when properly formatted). My current router (WNR3500L) will not recognize the drive due to the large format, and before I go and buy a TC, I want to make sure it will see the drive.
    Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Nobody has tried to attached a large format drive?

  • Driver for HP Color Laserjet 1600 Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit

    When will a driver be made available for the HP Color  Laserjet 1600 for Windows 10 64 bit?  It printed fine with Windows 8.1, but since the updgrade to Windows 10 it will not print at all. Thanks, JN

    I have answered my own question or found a temporary fix until an official driver is released. After a few hits and misses with different HP Color Laserjet Drivers,  I downloaded the  HP LaserJet USB (DOT4) communication driver for Windows 8 and Higher (64-bit) located at the below link.  It is listed for the HP Color LaserJet 3700 Printer but it worked for the HP Color Laserjet 1600 as well.  Hope this will help someone.  http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=315850&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4192 Thanks, JN

  • Maximum hard drive size for 350 MHz slot loading?

    Hello,
    What is the maximum hard drive size for a 350 MHz slot loading imac?
    I am aware of a 128 GB limit on imacs. Does the 128 GB hard drive limit apply to all imac CRTs or just the earlier models?
    Here are the specs of my imac:
    Blueberry 350 MHz
    Slot loading CD-ROM drive,
    6 GB hard drive
    Is the maximum hard drive size limit of 127GB apply to this particular model?
    Thanks

    Yes, the last CRT iMac was in 2001. The first machines with built-in greater than 127 GB support were released in June 2002, as this article explains:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
    So all CRT iMacs have that limiation.

    The 8 GB limit is explained here:

    Hi, Daniel:
    There is no 32 bit support for your model.
    You will have to experiment with drivers from business models and drivers from the hardware component mfr's websites.
    You can try these for starters:
    1. Chipset driver. Install first and reboot.
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=816&DwnldID=20775&keyword=chipset+ins...
    2. Graphics driver.
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23638&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207...
    3. Audio. This one I am not sure of, and you may never get the audio to work (try updating from the device manager and use the automatic search once you can connect to the internet).
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=19282&keyword=IDT&DownloadType=Drive...
    Network:  Download and install the second driver on the list.

  • Can't install driver for HP P1006 LaserJet under Windows 8.1 64 bit

    Hi,
    I can not install the driver for HP P1006 LaserJet under Windows 8.1 64 bit.
    I download the driver installation program from the HP website. When I run it, it says reinstalling the driver files, then copying files to the hard drive and then it crashes. I also tried using the driver CD that came with the printer to no avail.
    The printer works fine on my other laptop with Vista on it. Help!

    Hi peshi77,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are trying to install your HP Laserjet P1006 to your computer running Windows 8.1, but everytime you attempt to extract the files it crashes. After some research I see there were no updated drivers made available for the Windows 8.1 OS, you must install the Hostbased Plug and Play Basic Driver, to get the basic printing functions. Please click on the link below to download and install:
    HP LaserJet P1000-P1500 Hostbased Plug and Play Basic Driver
    Once downloaded, please follow the on screen instructions. I hope this helps!

  • ITunes for Windows XP Pro 64-bit edition?

    When I joined the ranks of iPhone 3G owners @ 2 months ago, I was a bit disconcerted to see that iTunes wouldn't work with Windows XP Pro 64 bit edition. (Which is what is running on my primary PC). You Apple guys should know why I DON'T want to upgrade the machine to Vista! (It's running nice & stable on XP-Pro 64-bit). I've been able to sync the iPhone (& update it's software) using my girlfriend's PC (running 32-bit XP Home), but since she's none too careful about stuff like antivirus protection & adware, her machine's buggier than a roach motel! (Really needs to be re-imaged). Could I use the Vista 64-bit version of iTunes on my PC? REALLY rather use it than her machine! Thanks! Tom

    There is no version of iTunes that supports the 64-bit version of Windows XP and never will be. If you search this forum for "XP 64" you'll find threads describing the process some people have used to "crowbar" iTunes onto XP 64, with varying levels of success, none of them complete.

  • I need an audio driver for Yoga 13 with Windows 7 Pro 64 bits English

    Hi all,
    I downgraded my Yoga 13 from Windows 8 to Windows 7 pro 64 bits, and ever since then I have a problem with my microphone.
    Skype finds the microphone and can use it, calls are all working fine, but any other program using audio does not work with the microphone.
    After troubleshooting, I concluded that I need to update the driver but I cannot find it. Anything that I find on the Lenovo support pages does not install (event the one found on this page: http://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/downloads/ds002860​).
    After looking at this post: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tab​lets-and/I-need-an-Internet-driver-for-Yoga-13-wit​.... I figured I would to be provided with the link by someone from Lenovo support.
    Here's the hardware ID of the soundcard: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_506E&SUBSY​S_17AAA001&REV_1000. In Windows it is recognized as High Definition Audio (in the device manager).
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hello,
    From looking at the Yoga 13 Hardware Maintenance Manual and downloading the driver package from the Realtek Wireless LAN & Bluetooth Driver for Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit) - IdeaPad Yoga 13 page and extracting (but not running) it to look at the contents, it appears the Yoga 13 uses a wireless LAN card based on Realtek RTL8732 chipset. 
    I would suggest that you try downloading the drivers, expanding, but not installing them on to a USB flash drive or SD card, then plugging that into the Yoga 13, running the Device Manager (filename: DEVMGMT.MSC), clicking on the appropriate entry for the wireless network adapter, selecting update, and then choosing the Browse my computer for driver software option, pointing that to the location of the unpacked drivers.  Perhaps Device Manager will find the correct drivers to install that way.

  • Need sound drivers for a Pavillion dv8309us running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit OS

    Need sound drivers for a Pavillion dv8309us running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit OS. I'm getting "no audio output device is installed" error after trying various different drivers. Sometimes the driver will install and I'll reboot, but to no avail I end up with the same error and a red X over the speaker in the system tray. I've tried Realtek drivers and Conexant drivers from HP. When I run Windows upgrade advisor it recognizes the problem, but Microsoft doesn't offer a compatible driver. At this point I'm very desperate considering everything else works fine and I don't want to go back too XP Media Center. If there is anything you can do to help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    I guess this one isn't even 64 bit but it is the one on HP's site:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-46818-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    I never tried to force a driver but I think it can be done.  I seeing that in some threads.

  • How do I get SP2 for Windows XP Pro 32-bit?

    I have Windows XP Pro 32-Bit... But as far as I know it does not have Service Pack 2 (SP2)... The Boot Camp instructions say you need at least SP2 to install boot camp and you can't install XP and then update to SP2... Is there a way around this?

    Hi James,
    easiest way to verify that your XP CD has SP2 incorporated is to look at the root directory of the CD for a file named 'win51ip.sp2'.
    If there, then it is SP2. If not, well...
    And there is a way to make yourself a XP CD with SP2 out of your pre-SP2 XP CD by following these instructions http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxpsp2slipstream.asp
    But you have to do it on a Windows PC.
    It might be possible (I haven't tried) to use something like VirtualBox http://www.virtualbox.org/ (or Parallels or VMWare Fusion) and install the pre-SP2 XP.
    Then update that installed XP with the standalone SP2-updater and do the slipstream-process.
    But as said, no guarantee it will work.
    Hope it helps

  • Cannot install and use dell 1130n and hp 1022n in windows 7 pro 64 bit os for dell pc

    HP driver list does not appear to offer printer driver online for windows 7 pro 64 bit os. Only win 7 64 bit is visible option on HP and verified PC is a wind 7 pro 64 bit os.  Is this why my installed HP 1022n printer will never  be able to print?  Tried plain win 7 64 bit os and dell pc  optiplex 380  but I got nothing.  No print.  the HP 1102n is default printer.  thoughts?

    Hi @dazed1 ,
    I see by your post that you need the drivers for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I would like to help.
    I checked the website and there is a Full Feature and Basic driver available for Windows 7 64 bit.  HP LaserJet 1022n Printer Drivers. Did you try both of these drivers?
    I would try and install the preinstalled Windows drivers, if you are having issues using the downloaded drivers on the site with your Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Run the Add a printer wizard from Devices and Printers.
    You could also plug and play the drivers. Connect the printer to the computer and see if Windows will detect the printer and install the drivers automatically.
    Have a great day!

  • Maximum hdd size for MacBook Pro 17" (late 2006)

    I have macbook pro and looking to upgrade the base HDD of 160GB to maximum supported. I bought this in march 2007, so should be late 2006 model.
    Can someone share the knowledge, if they had upgraded to the bigger HDD? Also what capacity we can go as max?
    Thx

    The only limit you have is about 1TB - now about the largest drives that will fit in notebook computers. Do you really have the need for something so large, though. You could get a good price on a 500-750GB drive and that would increase your internal storage nicely. Your model and OS don't limit you to the size of the hard drive you can install.

  • Maximum HDD size for Satellite Pro 4290 ??

    My hard disk is wearing out (Win 98 tells me it has many bad sectors). Do I have to fit a 6gig hard disk or can I upgrade? If so, how big a disk will the latest BIOS address?
    I think I need a 2.5" 9.5mm disk, but I don't know if there are any other specifications I have to adhere to.
    ALSO, if I buy a USB hard disk for back-up etc, will the computer see it? Is there a maximum size for external USB disks?
    HELP!!!!
    Mike

    Hi Mike
    There is no precise information or specification about this issue but I am sure that you can use 10 GB HDD without any problems.
    I have two external HDD`s and I have no problem because I use both with USB 2.0. Your unit has just USB1.1 Maybe you should not use HDD with high capacity. I will try to connect my 30GB external HDD to USB1.1. After that I can report you what exactly happens.

  • Maximum input payload size(for an XML file) supported by OSB

    Hey Everyone,
    I wanted to know, what is the maximum payload size that OSB can handle.
    The requirement is to pass XML files as input to OSB and insert the data of the XML files in the oracle staging tables. The OSB will host all the .jca,wsdl, xml, xml schema and other files required to perform the operation.
    The hurdle is to understand, what is the maximum XML file size limit, that OSB can allow to pass through without breaking.
    I did some test runs and got the following output,
    Size of the XML file:  OSB successfully read a file of size, 3176kb but failed for a file of size 3922kb, so the OSB breakpoint occurs somewhere between 3-4 MB, as per the test runs.
    Range of number of Lines of XML:  102995 to 126787, since OSB was able to consume a file with lines (102995) and size 3176kb but broke for a file with number of lines (126787) and size 3922kb.
    Request to please share your views on the test runs regarding the OSB breakpoint and also kindly share the results, if the same test has been performed at your end.
    Thank you very much.
