MY hp ze4300 laptop is dead.. I got a new HP laptop... can i use this to connect the old hard drive and transfer the files over?Thanks

There are basically two types of drives SATA (newer) and IDE (older). Confirm yours is SATA and this should plug directly into your new computer. You can then remove the files to your new computer. You may have to play with your new computer to get it to recognize the drive depending on the software on your new computer. If the old HD is an IDE you will probably have to buy and IDE to SATA adaptor in order to use this. Please give me a helpful vote on Amazon.

Sure, that's exactly what happened to my Acer netbook. Completely dead so I bought the Sanoxy hard drive enclosure, extracted the hard drive from the old dead netbook and transfered files and photos to my new Asus netbook. Quick and easy.

This device allows you to connect that old drive to your new PC just like connecting an external hard drive. This device provides power to the drive and has an adapter ago you can connect it via USB. Step 1. Power up your new PC. Step 2. Connect power supply and USB adapter to old drive. Step 3. Place old drive on flat surface, don't move it around. Step 4. Connect USB adapter to your new PC. Step 5. Access your old drive and copy/paste data off of it. Step 6. There is no step 6. Throw your old drive away, I guess.

If it has a USB connection there should be no issue. I have a 500 GB connected and have no issues. I ordered my HP split in June and have been happy with it so far.

Yes, works perfectly. No additional equipment needed for the drive itself, but for data transfer from your existing hard drive you'll need a dock or drive case. The startech.com dock works great but I'm sure there are other options which might be cheaper.

You should have no issue, as long as you can open up the laptop and remove the old drive.

instructions say no. however I would try something in desperation. change the 300gb drive to allocate less than 250gb, maybe that will work. I hope so because I will be trying the same thing at some point. otherwise use free cloning software (with a recovery disk). btw, this device is the only way I have found to clone a "dynamic" disk easily. Thank you HP for that nightmare.

If its a 2.5mm SATA. It should work. I would check with HP first since you will have to contact Windows to re-sync your Windows copy with the new Hard drive

This is a tricky one as ive never heard of that particular hard drive, but if its a 500gb drive, it should use one of the three connection types on this reader.. that being said if the hard drive isn't working, I cant guarantee this will make it work. Ive got a lot of hard drives to read using this though, so you SHOULD be good to go

If you've got the requisite port, there shouldn't be a problem. There's no drivers to play around with, it behaves like a traditional HDD: plug and play.

I don't know if you can. If you've had it for some time and it died then it may not be worth trying. Mine died at about the 1 1/2 year point I think it was. I went out and bought another one. My only though is perhaps to hook it up to a regular computer, see if it recognizes the drive and play around from there. I would be hesitant to use it for too long if you can manage to reform it. When it does you get little warning and you lose all the recordings on it.

Yes, that laptop uses a SATA connection for the hard drive...though it is half the size of the original hard drive in the system (250GB compared to 500GB for the original)

well yeah thats sort of the point with this thing. plug in power, a hard drive you want to clone, and the destination hard drive. hit the button and wait. when it tells you its finished you can install the HDD in a computer and it will work just like the old one.

There can be an issue when upgrading to a larger HD for an HP Laptop. Computer did not recognize the new HD. I needed some assistance in getting around this issue from a Geek in order to finish the install. I recall that he did something with the bios in order to recognize the new HD, but don't recall what was done. It worked out okay and I'm happy with the new HD. Good luck.

That depends on the kind of failure you have on your external drive. If the drive has died, then nothing to do. If the drive works, then you should be able to recover. I rather do that connecting the drive to a PC directly.

yes you can. Even though your laptop doesn't charge it should still be able to work with the power cord plugged in. If that's no good, then you need to remove the hard drive from the underside of the laptop, then plug the hard drive into a "universal storage adapter" (available on Amazon), then plug the other end to another working computer (USB slot), and pull out the data.

That is an easy task, I have placed another 1.5 TB Hard Drive into the Lenovo and it seemed to work fine. However, I have had this computer for less than four months and it has crashed on me at least five times. My system here is a WiFi system and the K430 seems to work whenever it wants. I have an old HP a foot away from the Lenovo and it works fine with the WiFi. So I must give you a heads up, the Lenovo does NOT compare with an HP Windows 8, as I have one of those too. Good Luck!

This unit is an internal hard drive and won't fit a laptop. Trying to connect it's if we're a external drive wouldn't work either. Contact the laptop maker for a recommended drive for that unit
