Suggestion for a new 2.5" SATA laptop HD or SSD...
Hi, my hard drive has recently died on my 8 month old Laptop, which is a:
Pavilion dv6, dv6-3122sa
* AMD Turion II Dual-core Processor P540 (2.4 GHz, 2MB L2 Cache)
* 39.52 cm (15"6) Diagonal High Definition HP Brightview
*500GB (7200RPM) Hard Drive
*4096MB DDR3 SDRAM (2 Dimm)
*802. 11 b/g/n WLAN & Bluetooth
*Lightscribe Super Multi 8x DVD+'RW with double layer support
*6-cell 55WHr Lithium-Ion battery
*ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 Switchable Graphics
with 512MB DD3 dedicated graphics memory
*5-in-1 Digital Media Reader
*Genuine Windows 7 home premium (64 bit)
*HP truevision wbecam
*HP Mediasmart
The laptop will not even bootup, it says "Can not find Bootmgr, press ctl+alt+del to restart."
I've tried the diagnostic tools, but they all say there is a problem with my HD, please contact my manufacturer.
I've also tried to do a fresh Windows 7 install, but it pops up with an error saying there is a problem with the partition. And I tried the repair option, and it pops up saying my boot up menu is corrupted, and that it will repair it and restart.
But it just restarts, and does not do anything.
The HD was:
I'm not the most intune when it comes to Hard Disk's etc, and this is the first time I have had one break on me.Model ID - Toshiba MK5061GSYN
Anyway, I was advised to ask in here for advice.
I'm looking for a similar hard drive (or better) to replace the one that is broken. I'm looking to spend between £40-£80.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
