   I know I m gonna sound stupid but sorry. Is there any specific hard disk for dv 5000 models or is it just any normal laptop harddisk which I buy? (dv 5052ea to be specific). I mean, please suggest/recommend me one (I am thinking for a maximum upgrade, so Is an upgrade to 500gigs possible?)

   Very Well Done. The only thing with my dv 5000 series, is that the existing hard drive was corrupt so that’s why I needed to replace it. I used restore disks from a place on line,since HP no longer sells them for those unit.

    It is an informative video for anyone who is unaware of installing a hard drive in a hp laptop. i hv a hp dv3z model, but still the process is more or less the same. Thanks for uploading.

    im new to this …. if i install a 500gb harddisk into my compaq presario v3500 laptop … when my laptop is dead will it affect the 500gb harddisk ? can i transfer it into a new laptop so everything installed inside remains?

    Hi, does anybody knows how to send of those to argentina?, because the value here is of 700dls, it would be great someone could help me inport some, or some other notebook, or cel phone, because here, prices are extremly hi, and i know lots of people who would pay 600 dls for those.
    So, if anyone knows how to send products to Argentina, pls mail me. nacho_seg@hot

    - A standard Phillips head screw driver (Flat head will work, just be careful not to bur the screws)
    – A clean workspace
    – A method of putting windows back onto your computer (Such as with the windows install disc) or if necessary getting your old files onto your new hard drive.

17. ledus123 on January 15th, 2010 7:13 am

    what will i need?

18. cuttinedgedotnet on January 15th, 2010 8:07 am

    No. If you’re hard drive has not failed and windows loads up, you can create and burn the CD’s with the software HP bundles. If you left it to late and can’t even boot up windows, contact HP they may be able to send some CD’s to you. If your not under warranty i believe there is a $20 fee for the CD’s.

19. FenderB3nder35 on January 15th, 2010 8:57 am

    the cds you were tlking about, the ones that put it back to factory setings, does taht come with the laptop? like are they in the box?

20. cuttinedgedotnet on January 15th, 2010 9:43 am

    It is quite simple and easy. It can be intimidating if you have never done something like this before. Many people have said watching my video gives them confidence to do it themselve.

    I would suggest you watch my video, and do as the instructions say. If your still not confident then by all means get a professional to do it. The choice is ultimately yours.

    Hp is going to send me a replacement Hard drive for my Dv7… the guy said its very easy and only takes 5 mins but… I dont know nothing about that kinda stuff ._. should i just do it my self or take to a local comp shop?

    Great vid, I am just considering replacing my HDD in my HP notebook

23. heffo51 on January 15th, 2010 10:34 am

    Thanks mate,

    I’ve a HP Dv 2000 series and have been thinking of upgrading the HDD from 120g to 250g. I wiped Vista and run Linux Mint. I’m not certain if I’m running an IDE or SATA drive. Are they interchangeable? BTW great vid; gives me confidence to do it myself.

    Regards
    John

25. uhumn on January 15th, 2010 11:38 am

    hello, i know this is a hard drive replacement but have you ever replaced the keybaord ? if you have i was wondering if you had issues when you have to push it forward and lift up ( i have dv5000) just wondering cant seem to find many people who have a dv5000
