HP Pavilion G6-1d21dx OS/Software :: Does OEM Key Still Work On Computer With Hard Drive Switched?

Nov 8, 2014

I have an HP Pavilion g6-1d21dx Notebook PC that was originally installed with Windows 7 Home Premium. However, the hard drive started acting funny, so an SSD was put in its place and Windows 8 was installed on it. However, now I want to go back to Windows 7 Home Premium. However, I heard that since the hardware configuration of the computer was changed (via the hard drive), the OEM key (which I still have), wouldn't take. Will it work or will it not?

HP Pavilion Dm4 OS/Software :: Will Recovery Disk Work With New Hard Drive

Jul 22, 2014

I have an HP Pavillion dm4. My hard drive died so I installed a new hard drive. The original OS installed on the computer was Windows 7. I did not get a Windows 7 disk with the computer. If I order the Windows 7 recovery disk from HP, will it install Windows 7 on my new hard drive? I have the COA info.

HP Pavilion Dv7-1245dx OS/Software :: Recovery Discs Don't Work With New Hard Drive?

Apr 19, 2011

I have an HP laptop (pavilion dv7-1245dx) and the hard drive died. I had never gotten around to burning my recovery discs, so I ordered new ones from HP. When I installed the new hard drive and popped in the operating system recovery disc, it gave me the error message:
 
"This PC is not supported by the System Recovery Discs. You will not be able to continue to recover this system with these discs."
 
Error code: 0100-30FC-3602-3603
 
The original hard drive was a Hitachi, 320 GB SATA
The new hard drive is a WD 500 GB SATA

HP Pavilion 4070-us OS/Software :: New Hard Drive - Recovery Discs Won't Work

Jan 30, 2015

The hard drive on my Pavilion 4070-us crashed, so I bought a replacement drive - a Samsung SSD 850 EVO, 256GB.  The problem is that I can't seem to get the recovery discs to work, and neither Microsoft or HP support me. Microsoft of course tells me that they won't support for OEM versions of Windows 7, and HP said that my product has been discontinued. I own a legal copy of Windows 7....
 
What happens after I go through the installation process with the recovery discs is that instead of the Windows installation continuing like it's supposed to, I get "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key".  I'm desperate, I tried two different options - one was the minimal image recovery, the other one was a factory restore. Nothing seems to work. What can I do?   By the way, the original hard drive is not *completely* dead - I can still access most of the data on it.

HP/Compaq :: Computer Not Recognizing Hard Drive

Jan 18, 2010

i recently had a post here about my laptop being thrown up on, and looking for a new system board. Well I was able to buy the whole laptop base, with system board and power button so all i had to do was install the screen cd drive, hard drive, and wireless. I did all of this and put it back together, but when i try to start the computer it gives me a no hard drive installed error. What can I do? I ran the memory test and its 100% working, and in the start up test or whatever, the only thing with a problem is the hard drive not showing up.

Dell :: Can't Get Old Hard Drive To Work In New Laptopcan Anyone Help?

Jan 19, 2009

Dell have sent me a replacement one which boots up fine, but I'm trying to get the old hard drive in my dead laptop to work in my new one (its better - western digital, 320gb 7200rpm). When I boot up with it in, I get the BSOD which says:

a problem has been detected... tech info: STOP: 0x0000007B (0xC958ABB0, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

When I run the windows dvd to repair, it says it can't repair with th following error:

Root cause found:

Unspecified changes to system configuration might have caused the problem.

Repair action: System files integrity check and repair
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x490

All checks before this error pass. Safe mode brings the same error. When I run dell diagnostics, I get this error:

error code 0147
msg: error code 2000-0147
msg: unit 0: optical drive BIST - OPU test failed .....

Apple :: Upgrade Hard Drive But Didn't Work Out

Apr 9, 2009

The screw that holds the bracket in place at the top of the compartment, I stripped it.

I used the correct screwdriver but the screw is too tight. I am going to use a drill with a tiny drill bit to see it that will spin it.

Does anyone know if hard ware stores sell screws as tiny as those? I want to replace the screw but can't seem to find it at the Rona.

HP Pavilion Dv5-2077cl OS/Software :: How To Install New Hard Drive And Create Recovery Disks Before Installing New Drive

Aug 20, 2011

HP Pavilion Dv5-2077cl Entertainment NotebookProduct #: WQ799UA#ABAWindows 7 64-bit

I have been getting a random blue screen popping up every once and a while, that will "dump my physical memory" or something and then reboot itself after like 30 seconds. my hard drive was the reason for these constant errors. So I backed everything up, in preparation of a real crash. I am in the process of ordering a new hard drive from Newegg.com, and I would like to know if it is hard to replace a hard drive in a notebook, or if I should have Geek Squad do it for $50. Also, I dont think I have the Operating system disc that came with my computer, so how do I order that from HP and how much is it?And last but not least, Is there a post or video with instructions on how to install a hard drive and the operating system?

HP/Compaq :: Pavilion TX1219 Hard Drive Dead

Oct 27, 2009

Unfortunately it appears my sister's TX1219 has a corrupted hard drive. A few days back the laptop was frozen and she powered it off via the power button. However when she booted it back up it gave her the issue that Windows was not shut down properly, etc. She chose to start up normally but it took forever to get to the desktop and pretty much froze at that point.

Again she powered it off via the power button but this time she received the message that there was a disk error and telling her to press CTRL ALT DEL to restart. I told her to go into safe mode on boot up and attempt to repair the hard disk via chkdsk. However the computer constantly hangs when it attempts to go into safe mode. I then checked the computer out myself and used a Vista Ultimate install disk to try to boot the computer off of that and run chkdsk to fix the corrupt sectors. However when booting the files the comp hangs and doesn't get much past 15% on loading the files. I know HP partitions the disk into the main C: drive and a recovery partition and I tried booting off of the recovery partition but that failed as well. As a method of last resort I tried to check the hard disk for any errors via the BIOS and it said the test failed.

My initial assessment of the situation is that either the hard drive has some certain sectors that are corrupted that could be repaired or perhaps that the hard drive has completely crashed..............

HP/Compaq :: Pavilion ZV5000 Hard Drive Up-grade

Dec 8, 2009

i am upgrading the RAM and was considering a new hard drive as well. however, i am confused on what should work especially because the laptop is getting old. i do not need a ton of GB, 60 would be fine. my goal was to get a faster one. could anyone post a link of some from tiger direct that might work? is 7200 my limit? would 10000 work?

i found this link but it is from 2007:

The ATA/100 EIDE is what you need to look at for a new HDD.

I think this would be about the best deal: [url]

should this work?

HP Pavilion Dv6-2140EI OS/Software :: Hard Drive Failure - No Recovery Partition

Apr 23, 2014

I have a Pavilion DV6-2140EI notebook with a failed hard drive. I purchased a new hard drive but to my surprise, all recovery disks or system image files are useless without the recovery partition on the drive. It appears that HP and Microsoft teamed up to not support hard drive failure. As you no longer get the original operating system on disk anymore, it looks like one is forced to purchase Windows again after hard drive failure.

HP Pavilion M6 1045DX OS/Software :: Windows 7 Error On WD 750GB Hard Drive

Feb 3, 2013

I have a Pavilion M6 1045DX laptop and the HD crashed. It was 750GB so off to eBay I went to buy another one. I decided to buy a NEW SEALED HD so I bought a blue label WD brand new. (March 2014) Just for grins I wiped and verified the drive and it passed. I temporarily installed a 40GB hard drive to build the machine while I was waiting for the new drive figuring I would just clone it when it arrived. When I went to clone the test drive to the new drive I received an error about block sizes. I use the Apricorn DriveWire and have seen this on a rare occasion. I thought maybe a different cloning software would work but to no avail. Same error.

Rather than fight with it I decide to put the new 750 drive in the laptop and build it all over again. This is when I received this error.“Windows setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer's hardware”So, I grabbed another blue label 160GB WD drive and it installed Win 7 fine on the laptop. I then took the 750GB drive and installed in on an old IBM T61 and it too installed fine. I also installed the new 750GB drive on a Dell inspirion N5040 laptop with complete success. Why the new 750GB WD drive gives me this error on "only" the HP Pavilion M6? This laptop doesn’t have RAID and was NOT Built for windows 8. It came with Windows 7. And yes I’ve reset the bios back to factor standards!

HP Pavilion Dv6000 OS/Software :: Installing Windows 7 On Partitioned Hard Drive

Mar 4, 2014

I have an HP Pavillion dv6000 notebook with a hard drive that is partitioned.  One partition contains the recovery program, which will install Windows XP should I ever need it to do so.  I have recently installed Windows 7 on the other partition, and believe it would make sense to install Windows 7 on the recovery partition, so that if it is ever needed, it would reinstall Windows 7 rather than Windows XP.  How can I accomplish this?

HP Pavilion 15 P080ca :: Hard Drive Not Detected In Win 8 - BIOS Errors / Unable To Recover

Aug 28, 2014

I purchased a new Pavilion 15-p080ca Windows 8 laptop from tigerdirect.ca and received it a couple of days ago.
 
The computer had randomly rebooted during working on it, I remember having read an IO error message in a windows popup. Since then, it continuously reboot, tries to load windows, fails and reboot until automatic repair kicks in.
 
Bios system log has many warnings/error: 03F0, 03F1, 0021.  I got about 3 times a hard disk not found error on POST.
 
I am unable to repair the installation whether from the recovery partition or from recovery discs,  I get "The drive is locked error" or "Automatic repair could not repair your pc".

Also recovery manager can't find the recovery partition. On command prompt, diskpart does not list disk;  "There are no fixed disk to show".
 
However, Ubuntu live cd and Mini xp are able to see every partitions, show files and read them,  a fast HDtune read test shows no disk error.

The computer is able to read from hard drive since I am able to get on recovery and windows tries to load until I get the "Your pc ran into a problem that it couldn't handle and it needs to restart"
 
HP PC Hardware Diagnostics SMART test passed, Short DST returns Warning.  HP diagnostic smart test returned "no hard disk installed" message one time.
 
Anything Windows 8 based, whether recovery disk, original media are not able to see hard drive.  
 
I tried booting recovery disk, recovery partition with every combination of Legacy support and Secure boot to recover the partitions without success since the hard drive is not detected (from diskpart list disk command).  From the recovery dvds I get a 0xefffff08 error. I also tried to remove the recovery partition thinking it could want to recover from it to get things faster.

Dell :: Computer Turns Off, And Then Keyboard Doesn't Work

Aug 4, 2009

I've bene playing a game (tf2) on my laptop, and 3 times now its turned off, just straight up turned off, and so I turned it back on, and then the keyboard didn't work no matter what I did.

So I called dell and they said some sort of static built up in the keyboard, and to take out battery, and wall plug, and hold power for 15 seconds, and then turn comp on. I did that and it restored my keyboard to full use.

But now twice since then my comp has shut down, and I've had to use that technique to restore it...

This laptop is only 2 weeks old, ? Why is it having problems a mere 2 weeks after I got it.

I mean I'm not even typeing fast enough to make a static charge, in game you only use a couple buttons. Also i'm on tile floors, no carpet at all, I use my laptop on a table although it does get hot.

Dell :: E1505 New Motherboard, Standby And Lock Computer Don't Work

Mar 13, 2010

I just had a new motherboard installed in my E1505 under warranty by a Dell Tech. They sent a new hard drive with it, with Windows XP already installed. I also still have my original hard drive. After the motherboard finished installing, my Standby no longer works...

actually it goes into Standby, but immediately wakes up, without me touching a single thing. Also, I can't lock my computer by pushing the Windows logo + L. Using that shortcut actually logs me off the user. I tried this with both the new hard drive and the old original one. Both of these things worked fine with my old motherboard.

I did a clean install of XP on the new hard drive, and still it doesn't work. So far the Dell tech that I've been talking with online and on the phone doesn't have the answer. I've been talking to him for several days now
