Replace hd HP/Compaq presario v2000

I have an old Presario v2000 with a failing hd. I bought a new hd and imaged the old drive to a usb drive with the intention of imaging it back to the new hd but i cannot get the usb drive to boot. I really want to preserve the data and software - any suggestions?

If you have more than one computer, install a disc cloning software (IE: Acronis TrueImage) on it and then clone the image from the USB drive to the replacement hard drive (may  require you to purchase a USB HDD Dock if you don't have any place to connect it).

  • Upgrading Compaq Presario V2000 laptop

    hello everyone,
    I am planning on upgrading a Compaq presario V2000 laptop i currently own. I heard that it cna can only run on PC2700 RAM with a max of 1gb per slot. Currently, I have 2 X 256mb sticks installed so i plan to remove one of them and install a 1GB stick and i was wondering whether this is compatible with the laptop:
    http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/p_3274_PNY_Sodimm_1GB_DDR333_PC_2700_for_Laptop
    I also wanted to upgrade the hard-drive as 40gbs just doesn't cut it for me. Does anyone know whether the V2000 can hold two hard-drives? Also what hard-drives are supported by the V2000? Will any IDE 2.5" hard-drive fit in or does it only support 5400rpm drives?
    Thank you,
    Babaquazi

    Your max memory is 2 gigs or 2 x 1 gb and yes it uses DDR333 SO-DIMM memory. Here is the Crucial.com page for it:
    memory
    Here is the Manual:
    Manual
    Turn to Page 5-6 for hard drive replacement. Don't forget to save the little connector piece that goes over the hard drive pins and place it on the new drive. There is only room for one (1) drive.
    You can use any IDE (PATA) 2.5 inch laptop drive of any size and rotation speed. A 7200 rpm drive will boost performace significantly.
    Not sure if you have the Intel or AMD version of the V2000 but the processor is also upgradeable if you happen to have one using the Celeron or Sempron processor.

  • Compaq Presario V2000 Is the CMOS batt rechargable? (Batt ML1220)

    Hi
    I have a Compaq Presario V2000. It will not boot up or show any signs of being powered. I think the CMOS battery needs replaced. The battery is a Panasonic ML1220. What I want to know is whether the CMOS battery is rechargable. I've found a battery locally, but it cautions not to recharge this particulary battery. It's a UL1220. Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks in advance,
    Ron

    This does seem to coincide with a hard drive issue.
    I don't have access to a system like this, but go back into BIOS.  Is there an option for SATA settings anywhere for IDE or AHCI?  If so, try setting it to the opposite of what it currently is.  For example, IDE to AHCI or AHCI to IDE.
    Another thing to check, and this is easy to miss, is anything at all connected other than the charger?  If so, disconnect all non-essential devices.

    I noticed this is your first post, a comprehensive post just for asking XP drivers.
    Please read XP downgrade guide, part 2, here
    Your model, somehow forgot to be listed in part 2, but in general, part 2 should work for your model.
    Read the guide so that you knew the advantages/disadvantages installing XP for your model.
    About your request, try the following drivers
    1.For Intel 965 Express Chipset Family, Here
    2.Conexant High-Definition SmartAudio 221 Driver
    Driver modded by silver here
    Unzip to a folder..use Device Manager,right click "Audio Device on HD",choose Update driver,
    No to connect,
    Install from a list or specific location,
    Select Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install,
    For the Hardware Type select 'Show All Devices'
    Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
    Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".
    Ignore XP when it complains.
    Reboot.
    Please post again If you found the mic and external speaker are not working perfectly.

    Hi:
    Those ID's confirm that your notebook has the Conexant AC-Link audio chip.
    OK...here is what I did. A little detective work...
    I like to use the free 7-zip file utility to extract the component files from the exe.
    When I extracted the files from the driver that is posted by HP for your model that I linked you to above, here is the hardware ID for the Conexant Audio chip the driver supports.
    [Conexant]
    %*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_266E
    As you can see, this driver supports a different Conexant audio chip than the one in your notebook, because the hardware ID you posted is PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370
    So, I googled the hardware ID and found several drivers that had the main ID of PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370, but they had a different &SUBSYS number.
    I had to download and extract the files from a few of them before I finally found one that matched the exact hardware ID as yours which is PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C
    Please see if this one works...

  • CD/DVDW not detected by system on Compaq Presario V2000

    My CD/DVDW TS-L532R on my Compaq V2000 can't seem to be detected on my system.  I used it recently without any problems but after I removed a i-phone programme something must have happened.  I don't recall having a CD to install the hardware so I'm at a loss what to do.... I can't seem to get any help on the COMPAQ or HP website...
    Can anyone out there give any advise?  Thanks

    Hm, forgot that dmesg is case sensitive... Writing DVD in caps instead resulted in this:
    $dmesg | grep DVD
    [ 1.610969] ata2.00: ATAPI: Slimtype DVD A DS8A5S, WP56, max UDMA/100
    I also looked through the dmesg output more carefully, and found these
    [ 6.629435] ata2.00: TEST_UNIT_READY failed (err_mask=0x4)
    [ 11.814737] ata2.00: TEST_UNIT_READY failed (err_mask=0x4)
    [ 16.999954] ata2.00: TEST_UNIT_READY failed (err_mask=0x4)
    A quick google search indicates that this whole thing is a known problem when connecting a SATA 3 gbit DVD-drive to a SATA 6 gbit port, which is probably exactly what I've done. I'll just have to switch some cables around.
    Thanks for the help lagagnon. Marking the topic as solved.

    Hi:
    Here is what you need to do, but you will not have Aero as the GMA900 video adapter is not completely windows 7 capable.
    Download and run this Vista driver from an HPQ nc6220.
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=US&swItem=ob-472...
    It will error out with a message that states in substance that the operating system is not supported.
    Close the error window and go to the device manager.
    Under display adapters, click on the Standard VGA Adapter. Click on the Driver tab. Click on the Update driver button.
    Select the "Browse My Computer for Software" method of installation and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
    That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp34749.
    Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and the driver should install.
    On reboot you should have decent graphics but no Aero.

  • Problem with MAT**bleep**A UJ-840D built in COMPAQ PRESARIO V2000

    Hi. I am getting problems with the mat**bleep**a UJ-840D drive built in my laptop. I can watch DVD movies but cannot read, use or burn any CD discs.
    I tried to upgrade the firmware version to solve the issue but the application does not work. The software is: FIRMWARE UPGRADE GCC4243N CDRW DRIVE (directly downloaded from HP web site). I select the file: "s5hp108.DLD" and when I hit the "FW Flashup" button, it brings error: "THIS PROGRAM CANNOT BE USED FOR THE SELECT DEVICE". (MAT**bleep**A UJ-840D - 1.02".
    The currently drive installed is: Driver provider: Microsoft / Date: 01/07/2001 / Version:  5.1.2535.0
    I think the CD/DVD writer drive must be ok because it works with DVD discs. I have tried with a lot of types and branch of CD discs, but not of them can be read.
    If I can to be enabled to make an driver or firmware upgrade, or both, maybe it can be solved.
    Thanks.

  • Do I need to replace video graphic card or power supply unit on hp compaq presario sr2180nx

    hello all
    i saw a similar post over 4 years ago, however it doesn't address my issue.
    my pc started stalling when i attempt to turn it on.  It wouldn't come on. Then after several tries every now and then it would come on. I was told through searching that it could be the video graphic card or the power supply. Therefore once i had the computer back on.  I never shut it off. However, i could reboot and it would come on.
    Now it won't come on again. So i don't know what to replace. The video graphic card or the power supply.  If it is the graphic card, do i replace the one previously installed or add a new one. And if adding a new one, what is recommended to be compatible with my 300 watt supply unit? I'm lost as what route to take and how.Below are the details of my unit.
    HP/Compaq Presario SR2180NX desktop PC with a P5LP-LE motherboard with an Integrated graphics using Intel GMA 950.
    *Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
    Also supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards
    300 watt supply.
    thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

    Is there an add-in video card in the slot? If so, remove it and try to turn on. If the problem is the video card it will turn on. If not it is the power supply.

  • Compaq Presario CQ58 - replace hard drive?

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ58.  I'm wanting to replace the stock drive with a 1TB internal drive. 
    1) Will the recovery discs reinstall my OS, Microsoft authentications and all the other stuff that came with my old drive?
    2) Will I need any special adapters or hardware or can I just look for a SATA drive with the 9.5mm form factor and just plug it in?
    3) Are there any pitfalls or nuisances to doing this like required special hardware drivers or such?  Are there drive manufacturers whose drives are easier to install?
    4) Is there anything I've forgotten to ask?

    Hi,
    To answer your questions in order:
    1.  Your recovery discs will reinstall Windows 8 on the new HDD, along with all the required drivers and original software - they will also re-create all the original partitions.
    2.  You need to remove the sata connector and cable, along with the 2 bracket sections from the old HDD and fit these to the new drive - see Pages 40/41 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
    3.  You are not restricted to any particular manufacturer.  Your notebook will accept 9.5, 7.0 or 6.35mm Hard Drives - considering the HDD brackets in your  machine are for a 9.5mm HDD, I'd stay with this size for the 1Tb HDD replacement.  An example can be seen on the following link.
    1Tb 2.5" 9.5mm Sata ii Notebook Hard Drive.
    4.  That's about it
    Best regards,

    HP would be happy to sell you a new laptop. But the C700 really has no trade-in value. 
    Here is a replacement battery on eBay:
