Pavilion dv5115 nr Hard drive type

I am helping a friend replace their hard drive and I am trying to figure out if this machine uses an PATA or SATA drive. How can I tell? The internal drive test is failing.
Thanks
Dave

Since it is a rotational speed of 4200 and 80gb, I assume it is Pata, your specifications do not reveal which it is.

You can do 2 things to know for sure
1. Get the model number of the drive in device manager and google it
2. Remove the drive and remove the adapter from the end of the drive and look to see which it is.
Your service manual

Most laptop drives when removed will have an adapter plugged on the end of the drive, be sure to remove this and transfer to the new drive.

Pavilion Dv7 4165dx Hard drive failure and performance issues?

I have a pavilion dv7 4165dx notebook that was working great until a couple of months when the performance of my machine started to decrease rapidly. I have performance issues with the machine because it takes 1 to 2 minutes to get from the welcome screen to the actual desktop and another 3 to 4 minutes for it to be ready to use. I already upgrade the memory from 4gb to 8gb but instead of going faster it goes slower and i also did a clean install of windows but it didn't help. Before i have problems it took maybe 30 to 50 seconds to go from the welcome screen to the actual desktop and 1 minute and 30 seconds to be ready to use and by the way i use soluto to tell me when the machine is ready for use.Then last week i notice that the headphone jack wasn't working properly so i contact hp and they told me to send them the laptop so i did, they replace the motherboard and they send it back to me and i just got it today it got a little better but it still lags on the welcome screen and to open programs. I check the memory using memtest 86 and the memory it's fine, but i check the hard drive with HDD Regenerator 2011 and it show i have one delayed sector. Then i check on hd tune pro and it show me some WARNING on section Calibration retry count( as you can see on the picture below) so my question is should i be worry and send it back to hp or what can i do to fix the problem i am having with this notebook?

I have the same laptop and have had issues with it since the day i brought it home. I have had it for a year now and am now replacing the hard drive for the 3rd time. My guess would be its your hard drive because most of the issues you seem to be having ar the same ones ive been dealing with for a while. I can say I'm very mad about the quality of this laptop and am in the process of battling with HP over this issue. If you have a chance go online and look at all the hard drive issues that this laptop has had and even look at the HP forums for this issue it will irritate you and make you wonder why this hasn't been fixed yet!

HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 Hard Drive Diagnostic failure - but runs fine?

I have a HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit) that seems to run just fine. On a whim, I ran the pre-boot diagnostic check and received the following error code that the hard drive test had failed.
Q7NK1R-52M62E-XD002J-60WW03
Nothing in my PC's performance prompted me to run the diagnostic test, I simply ran it as a double check for the heck of it.
Is this something to be worried about? Of course an error code is always something to look into but since the PC seems to be running just fine is this a true error or simply a nuisance that should be ignored?
I can not remember making any signficant changes lately to the installed software and have made no changes to the hardware at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I would resaet (not reset) the HDD or you may want to try this first:

Pavilion dv4405nr laptop hard drive and recovery

Hi,
My daughter's Pavilion dv4405nr laptop's HDD (Samsung MP0804H Spinpoint M Series 80GB) is dead. It doesn't boot, and BOIS HDD test gives error 7. I took the HDD out, and connected it to several PCs (home, work) using two HDD universal adapters (like a BYTECC, and a NewTech) I left it spinning for about 6 hours. The PC sees the mass storage device, but it never shows up in MyComputer with a letter assigned. By right-clicking the working HDD and checking its properties, it lists all HDDs and I can see the damaged one listed w/o a letter assigned. I click to load volume information but all displays zeroes. I downloaded a Seagate-Samung utility to test the drive, and got the same error I had gotten with the laptop's BIOS utility.
Can this HDD be recovered? Is there a utility that can recover it?
If the answer is no: I connected the HDD back into the laptop, and set the boot sequence to DVD drive. I inserted the "All-In-One Recovery DVDs" for this laptop, but they didn't boot. Aren't the recovery DVDs bootable?
Your help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Richard

It looks like this unit came with Windows XP. It really depends on when in XP's production cycle the unit was released on how recovery works.
I am afraid the HDD is beyond salavaging at this point and the hard drive will need to be replaced. The recovery more than likely will fail on the bad HDD.
Early units came with recovery disks, one of which was labeled Operating System, and some used the F10 recovery and required making the recovery disks using a program (these units did not come with disks).
Is there a disk labeled as Operating System or Disk 1 of X?
If it is Disk 1 of X, then you would start with it, but start with Operating System if there is one labeled that.

Pavilion dv6t new hard drive won't boot after OS install

Hello, I have a HP Pavilion dv6t-3000 and the hard drive went bad and I just ordered a new one with basically the same capabilities. BIOS recognizes it because I can run the hard disk test and because the HP Recovery disc's successfully load and install on the hard drive. But once the recovery disc's finish the install and restart I get the error "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". The only thing I can think of is the hard drive is not compatible or something needs to be configured in the BIOS, but it is still recognized and still gets Windows 7 Home Premium installed using the recover disc's so in my mind that eliminates that problem.
Is there something I am missing or something else that needs to be done?
Thanks

Pavilion DV6449 notebook hard drive compatibility

I have a HP Pavilion DV6000 (p/n: GA456UA#ABA, service tag DV6449us) notebook without a hard drive. I happened to have a Toshiba 500 GB SATA 5400 RPM used hard drive available and I would like to know if the used HDD is compatible with the notebook. I asked two computer stores and one said the notebook was limited by the BIOS with a maximum of a 200 GB hard drive; however, the other store said the notebook can take a larger size of the HDD. Could someone help clarify this for me?
If the HDD is compatible, I also would like to know what procedures would get the notebook running after the HDD installation, and if I need to update the BIOS? Do I need to format the HDD? When should I install the OS?
Also, I don’t have a HP re-install disk to reinstall the OS. Can I temporarily use my other PC’s reinstall disk (Vista Home Premium 32-bit) to test if the notebook is running correctly before I purchase an OS license? I’ll be greatly appreciative if someone can list what steps I need to take in order to get the notebook up and running.
This question was solved.

Hi:
If you successfully created the Vista DVD, you should be able to boot from it.
In order to do that, the easiest thing to do is to have the DVD in the DVD drive, boot up the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, tap the F9 key to launch the one time boot menu.
Select the DVD drive from the list of devices and hit the enter key.
If the DVD was made right, you should see a message on the screen that states in substance...Attempting to boot from DVD...Press any key to boot from DVD...
Hit any key and the PC should boot from the DVD and you should see a white bar on the bottom of the screen that shows that windows is loading files. Then just follow the rest of the instructions when the install screen comes up.

Pavilion g6 internal hard drive not working , Can I use WD internal hard drive ?

I have pavilion g6 series laptop . I don't know RPM .
HP internal hard drive is looking very costly.
Can you tell me whether I can use WD internal hard drive or not . If yes then How much RPM hard drive I need to buy?

Hi,
We won't concern about RPM, faster (more rpm) is better. The HDD's are much, much, much, much cheaper now. They were more expensive during a flood in Thailand few yours back. Yes, you can use WD HDD for your computer. You can pick one from the following list:

Pavilion dv5t-1000 Hard Drive question

Hello.
This is probably a simple question but I'd like to know how many internal hard drives does my HP Pavilion dv5t-1000 support: one or two? The specs I found online for my machine suggested that it can support two drives but I don't immediately see where the second drive would be housed if it does.
I don't have much experience with taking apart laptops but I was able to upgrade my RAM just fine. And when I took the HD plate off and lifted up the hard drive housed inside, all I could see was the wireless card underneath and seemingly no room for a second drive.
So, does my dv5t-1000 laptop only support one hard drive? And if it should happen to support two drives, where exactly would the second be housed? I wasn't adventurous enough to take apart my laptop to find out so any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
I look forward to your helpful responses.
Thank you,
winebaron

Hi,
The dv5 series really only supports 1 HDD although there are conversion kits available that will allow you to install a second drive in the optical drive bay - an example of this sort of kit is Here.

Pavilion DV7t-4100 hard drive upgrade fail

Hello all, thanks for taking the time to read my question. I'm stuck in the process of upgrading and HP Pavilion DV7T–4100 laptop. The machine is a couple of years old runs Windows 7 and came originally equipped with two Toshiba 300GB hard drives. The hard drives are configured for one drive,C:, to host the operating system the second drive,D:, to host data. The D drive has now run out of room. I have purchased a Samsung spinpoint 2TB hard drive in order to have more space, but what I thought would be an easy upgrade turned into many long hours and frustration, not to mention funny looks from the wife.
Here is what I've done to date:
1. Connected the new 2 TB hard drive to the computer via USB (Windows recognizes hard drive)
2. Cloned the D: drive onto the new hard drive using Seagate disc wizard (also tried mini tool partition wizard) maintaining the original partition size.
3. Turned the computer off, removed the D drive and installed the 2TB drive in its place.
4. Restarted the computer only to find that Windows would not see the new drive. Attempted to find a drive-by going to computer management /storage/disk management where was not present either. Rebooted the computer once more, went into BIOS where I discovered that it does not see the new drive. BIOS does not have an option to discover new hardware.
5. Suspecting a bad drive, bad cable, or other bad things, I replaced the original D: drive back. Everything seems to work fine. The computer sees the original D: drive through SATA and the replacement drive through USB. Leaving me where I started, still out of room....
6. Following new advice, I reformatted to drive with just a single volume and no data in it. I didn't want to drive via SATA but neither bios norwindows and see it.
My question is: How do I get the BIOS to recognize the replacement hard drive, so that windows will recognize the replacement hard drive, so that my wife won't recognize I'm an idiot?

Hi
You're welcome
Few things:
Update bios & chipset from your product download site: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4317...
Now put the new 2tb hdd & check
If no joy, don't remove it - go to disk management , take a screenshot & please post it here.
Now power off, wait - then power on again - go to bios setup & boot device options to check if you can see the 2tb hdd in anywhere here.
If no joy, proceed & shut down - take out 2tb and connect it via USB , power on - go Disk Management - take a screenshot and please post it here.
Hope you have formatted previously the hdd from Disk Management by right clicking the hdd in the lower graphical console - New Simple Volume -> format, Am I correct?
Also, please post the model number/name of both Toshiba 300gb old hdd & the new 2tb Seagate hdd.
AT LAST,
Just blow out with dry canned air - the sata port of second hdd bay , after shutting down laptop completely & after doing a hard reset.
And try connecting 2tb hdd again and check.
Also, can you check if the 2tb hdd is working by testing it in another laptop by connecting via sata.

Pavilion 7 Bad Hard Drive, How to reinstall HP software on new Hard Drive?

Hi, I have a 2 1/2 year old p7 1247cb running Windows 8 Pro x64, just out of warranty, and the Hitachi internal hard drive is failing (eightforums.com helped me with diagnostic tools). I am replacing the HD and want to reinstall the whole system that was on the machine when I bought it. It came with Windows 7 and a promotion for free upgrade to Windows 8, which I did. I have my Windows 8 Key Code and have borrowed the installation files for Windows 8.
This is the first time I've done this sort of replacment, and I am wondering whether it's possible, or even desirable, to get all the manufacturer-installed drivers and software back on the new HD, or should I just let the Windows install search for all drivers for me?
Until the HD started failing, this was by far the most reliable desktop setup I've ever used, and I am wary about whether the new system, with cobbled-together drivers, will be as stable and reliable as what I had with the manufacturer-installed software and drivers,
Plus, as an aside, I want to vent for a moment that it seems crazy to me that a hard drive should start failing after just 2.5 years! This bundle was sold as a gaming system (it's never used for gaming, but the specs were what I wanted), and while it gets heavy use (mostly streaming video, wordprocessing, photo/video -editing and storage), I was surprised to encounter a hardware issue only 6 months past the warranty.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi,
Hard drives are mechanical and do fail. It's quite common in the industry and not just with HP.
Be sure that the new hard drive is not an advanced format hard drive and is not greater than 2TB.
Back up your data to external media if you can. If not then you will need to later use for backups.
Be sure to create the external HP recovery media (this should have already been done right after you received your PC).If you don't have the external recovery media then order it from HP. HP Recovery Disks. Performing a HP System Recovery with Windows 7
Replace the hard drive and then boot up the external HP recovery media and recovery your PC back to a factory day one condition.
Now you can reinstall Windows 8 using your "borrowed Windows 8 media".
There may be other ways of installing Windows 8 but I have given you the text book method. A generic key method, mentioned by me on this forum long ago and just recently revisted by another forum member may work.

What is my hard drive type and size?

My model is: 13-inch, Early 2008, Generation 5, MB402xx/A
I've found the manuals for my model of macbook, I think, and it tells me how to replace the RAM. But it doesn't tell me how to replace the hard drive. I'm just not looking in the right place, I guess.
I'm going on a trip soon, and I'd like to remove my hard drive and leave it at home. The new hard drive will have something like fedora or ubuntu on it, just so I can have a computer while I travel without taking all of my data with me. (Even if I back up my osx drive properly, the drive will still have my personal data on it when I travel - which I'd prefer not to risk, of course.)
Where can I find the specs for this old macbook, so I know what to place into it?

Thank you for reminding me about the system profiler and then the 9.5mm size limit. That would be a headache to order and discover right before my trip.
I think I've found a good replacement over at newegg, instead of macsales, though. The drive will cost me a little more than macsales, but I can get the hard drive and the firewire enclosure cheaper by buying them separate then buying one of the kits from macsales. (I will keep my eyes open over there, though, from now on for sales and upgrades. Always good to have another place to shop from.)

AD_EXT ribbon cable vs. generic hard-drive type ribbon ca

I removed my SB Audigy 2 Platinum - because I listened to the advice of other "so-called" home-recording musicians - and replaced it with (2) different "so-called" professional soundcards - both of which did not hold a candle to the SB Audigy 2 Platinum - so I have decided to put it back in my computer - my problem is: I have lost the wide ribbon cable (the AD_EXT cable) that connects the break-out box to the actual soundcard (I managed to keep EVERYTHING else in the box but that).... I wanted to ask if anyone knows if I could use a conventional ribbon cable (like the type that connects a hard dri've to the motherboard) as replacement for the AD_EXT. I actually checked to see if a regular ribbon cable would fit (without any power or other connections) and it seemed to slip on perfectly to both - plus it looks EXACTLY like the AD_EXT cable that came with the SB (red stripe & all). So again, can I go ahead and use a conventional hard-dri've ribbon cable as a replacement for the AD_EXT? And, if not ... can I order that part from Creative? And, if the latter, can anyone tell me how I can order one? Thanks,

I think it is the same. What Creative is saying, is that it is not an IDE connector, so don't connect your HDD there. This is because ISA soundcards used to come with a secondary IDE connector, which is not the case with modern soundcards.
If it looks the same and there was no twist on the cable then it should work. But I cannot confirm this for sure!

HP Pavilion p6653w hard drive crashed please help

HP Pavilion p6653w 1TB hard drive unknown if seagate. It completely crashed and all I get on start up is "hard drive failure is immenent please backup hard drive and have it replaced" then I pressed F2 to continue and then all I get is a DOS prompt. I only bought the computer in 2010. Is there anything I can do to save it?

Hi,
Are you able to type anything in the DOS prompt screen? Or is it just a black screen with a blinking cursor?

If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

Solved: I cannot manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, or write to) a VHDX hard drive once it has "Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing" enabled.

Hello,
Issue:
On a Virtual Machine with a secondary VHDX attached, I cannot manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, or write to) the VHDX hard drive once it has "Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing (VHD Sharing)" enabled.
Questions:
Should I be able to manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, and write to) a VHDX hard drive once it has VHD Sharing enabled? If I should be able to manage it, what am I missing?
Topography:
One SuperMicro Cluster In a Box (CIB) with 2012 R2 Data Center on each node. Microsoft Failover Cluster installed and working on each node. The Failover Cluster Servers on each host passes all cluster validation tests. Two Hyper-V 2012 R2 Data Center Virtual
Machine (VM) servers, one on each node. 1 common Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) and 1 Generation 2 Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) shared volume both Resilient File System (REFS) formatted. One 5 Gigabit (Gb) Virtual Hard Drive Type X (VHDX) file on the CSV and/or
SOFS. Integrity bit and read only turned off on VHDX file.
Each of the two Hyper-V VMs have one 127Gb VHDX Generation 2 primary hard drive and 1 VHDX secondary hard drive attached, both on SCSI Controller #1.
Background:
If I start VM1 without the VHD Sharing enabled on the secondary hard drive, I can bring the drive online, initialize, partition, format, and write to the drive.
If I enable VHD Sharing, I can no longer modify the drive in Disk Management in any way. With or without VM2 running.
Both VMs and the CSV and SOFS are on the same host cluster server, or not, no difference…
The VHDX is referenced either by the CSV name C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\TEST1.VHDX
or a Shared Folder name
\\sharedfolder\folder\Test1.VHDX .
If I start VM1 with VHD Sharing disabled and I format the drive, then shut down and enable VHD Sharing, the drive is offline and requests initialization which fails with an "I/O device error", every other attempt to manage the drive fails with
the same "I/O device error", error.

Hi All,
I had to buy a Willy Wonka bar and spend a golden ticket to get an answer to this one.
We found that the default LogicalSectorSizeBytes of a VHDX is 512b. It needs to be 4kb.
The Host drive doesn't seem to matter CSV or SOFS. Below is a way to create a VHDX with the correct LogicalSectorSizeBytes.
In Power Shell, type --> New-VHD -Path C:\ClusterStorage\Volume4\Cluster2DataDisks\Cluster2Disk1.vhdx -SizeBytes 200Gb -PhysicalSectorSizeBytes 4kb -LogicalSectorSizeBytes 4kb
Attach the resulting file to your guest cluster servers and set the Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing option on both server. You should now be able to bring the drives on-line and initialize them. They will also add to the guest cluster pool.
Change the size, path and file name above to fit your Cluster Servers configuration.
Thank You
Sachin Kumar Support Engineer | Windows Server Setup Team | Microsoft Enterprise Platform for finding the answer to this one.
