• 2nd optical drive, XPS 8700

  I bought a 2nd optical drive that is the same model as the first provided with this desktop computer. It's a TSST SH-216DB.  How to remove the bezel flat black plastic on the front of the new command and then how do I remove the frame of the 2nd slot empty on the PC (which I guess goes down with a spring when opened as the 1st disc) and attach it to the new drive? Whereas when I'm actually, two optical drives look alike on the outside and work in a similar way.

  Thanks for any help.

  Thank you, Bev.

  Yes, I review the owner's manual. What it does not cover becomes the front, flat, plastic front ("bezel"?) on my new 2nd optical drive (same model as my first original album, which remains in place) and then be able to join this new drive an attractive drop-down spring I assume (hope) is currently in the 2nd, empty the unit housing, so that the new player looks forward as 1 and works like it with a drop-down menu, attractive spring. I did not open the folder again, so I don't know if an attractive spring is here for the 2nd, currently empty location or not.

  Can help you with info on the change of drawing the plastic on my new 2nd drive?

  dcc197

  Yes, it is already there and there should be an opening 2nd 5.25 "for the reader, what you need, is remove the metal plate 'Break-away '.

  My experience with computers Dell optical drive 'Gate' of the flange spring is already here and there is nothing to do, except install the player, because when the disc is ejected, the optical drive tray operates the door automatically.

  All you need, are two M3 X 1/4, phillips, or hex head screws are needed to install the drive in the Bay and a 18 "SATA data cable, it should there be spare power supply connector SATA already inside the case.

  Respectfully that you remove the cover and the frame before checking things.

• Aurora R4 install 2nd optical drive

  Hello

  I have the R4 Aurora comes with the drive BlueRay Combo DH-12E3SH. I want to burn a BlueRay disc so I tried to install drive BlueRay Asus BW-16D1HT. I encounter the problem that he recognise only one optical driver in the BIOS, even though I tried to swap the two optical driver, update to the latest version of two drivers and update the BIOS of the A10 A11.

  I feel, there is something wrong with BIOS setup but cannot understand. I used the default settings now. He has no problem with the connection of the material. and I can play with the only driver optical it recognizes. You can have a few tips to make two optical drivers work at the same time? Thanks in advance.

  A new BD of Asus burner works in Aurora R4 as unique optical drive?

  It should work. Check the wiring all the way back to the motherboard.

• HP Envy 700-074: SM Bus controller driver

  I recently bought the HP Envy 700-074 a member of the family who tried from a Mac. Needless to say, it did not work. After several frustrating months of trying to learn Windows 8 I dropped and classified down to Windows 7. This is where my problems started. Now, Miss me all the types of drivers. I installed some of them, but it's just one after the other. That is asking is the SM Bus controller now. But the utility update drivers Intel always tells me that I need the Iris of the Intel and the graphic Driver HD for Windows * 7/8/8.1 64 bit, I have installed.

  I'm so frustrated. I've never had these problems with a computer before, especially when you install a different program. I am a user of Windows/PC for more than 20 years. It shouldn't be this hard.

• Portege M750 - 2nd HARD drive in the Bay select instead of optical drive carrier

  I just bought I used Portege M750 because my M700 was broken. Unfortunately, the berries to choose between the two models are not compatible. Although the availability of a 2nd drive hard trolley is mentioned in the user manual, I couldn't find the part of the disk for the M750 caddy. I tried a standard SATA-SATA HARD drive caddy, but I get a message "select Bay error" at the start, although the caddy runs under windows, as long as you do not hibernate.

  Does anyone know the part no of the real 2nd hard drive for Portege M750 caddy / M780? Or is there another 2nd carriage of hard drive that works with the M750 without restriction?

  Hello

  I guess that you will need a hard drive caddy part number: P000452980
  Then you could place this in the Toshiba Ultra Slim PA3408U-2CTE and PA3408U-1ETC HARD disk adapter

  But you can also contact the Toshiba ASP in your country to get a confirmation...

• HP Pavilion 15-p263nl: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion p263nl 15 Notebook PC & Windows 10

  Hi all!

  I intend to add an SSD for my HP Pavilion p263nl-15 Notebook PC. I found some sites that I can remove the optical drive and put a second drive using a caddy adapter in the optical drive Bay. I found that some people on the forum did it successfully, but nothing on my PC model. I want to know if he could work with my product.

  In other words, there is my plan:

  1 remove the real disk HDD hard bay and replace it with the new SSD.

  2. remove the optical drive and replace it with the adapter caddy containing my old HDD.

  3. do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD using a USB key recovery made with my real Windows 10 system (which has been updated from Windows 8.1 July 2016).

  I already have a 120 GB OCZ SSD (OCZ Vertex 3).

  I have a few questions before buying the adapter:

  1 - the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) are recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows, 10)? Is there a limit to a unique HARD/SSD disk drive on the computer?

  2 should. What size the card be? I found offers for 9.5 mm and 12.7 mm that are supposed to be suitable for HP Pavilion in general

  3 - these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? You can expect any problems with this upgrade?

  4 - clean install Windows 10 quote, because I intend to install it on a different drive than the one I used to create the key USB recovery flash? I have never done a clean install of Windows before.

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Alessandro

  p.s. in this section of the forum (where I took most of the post), the solution worked almost perfectly, but it's a different product of the Pavilion 15 ^^

  Hello

  1. Yes,

  2. your machines use 9.5 mm SATA Tray,

  3 problem? I can't answer this question because who knows nothing until the track.

  4. I don't know how you create USB recovery but a good new installation should work.

  Kind regards.

• HP Pavilion 15-e073ca: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion e073ca 15 Notebook PC & Windows 10

  I plan to purchase the following parts:

  1 - a HDD / SSD cart adapter for HP Pavilion 15 (model OBHD9-SATA-SATA-BU9), of NewmodeUS (http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=583)

  2 - a SSD 128 GB (article SDSSDHP - 128G), SanDisk (http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/ultra-plus/?capacity=128gb)

  1 - the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) are recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows, 10)? Is there a limit to a unique HARD/SSD disk drive on the computer?

  2 - the height of the SSD is 7mm, and it seems that my old HDD is 9.5 mm in height (model WDC WD10JPVT-60A1YT0). It would cause no problem (I need to add spacers)?

  3 - these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? You can expect any problems with this upgrade?

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Haghe

  Your plan is perfect. The SSD to will of 7 mm that always come back fine it just will be lower in the caddy. The holes and SATA connections are in the same place as a hard drive of 9.5 mm. You can use a spacer (many SSD include one in the box) but not really necessary.

  Installing SSD for Windows 10 the way you expect is not really "own", that he will again introduce files and programs, in my opinion and certainly drivers. Whatever it is, it works perfectly and activates the old installation has been enabled.

  The hard disk in the optical adapter will not be bootable and will transfer the data a bit slower than a drive in the main compartment, but will still be usable for most cases. If you need fast input/output like Photoshop or video editing move the job file to the first SSD. Alternatively, you may wish to consider documents and photos and other migration on the HARD drive to keep the 128 GB SSD to fill. You can right-click on these files and select 'place' and move them. After the back if you need some help with that.

  Enjoy.

• Satellite R630 - second HDD recognized as optical drive in the BIOS

  I own a Toshiba R630 and recently replaced the original disc with a Crucial SSDS with improved performance. I use the old Hitachi drive in an external enclosure via eSATA trouble-free port, but this configuration requires both port eSata/USB combo and a second USB just for power, so I bought a cart of 9.5 mm to put the disc on DVD rentals.

  Today I went ahead. Physically, everything goes well (apart from the fact that I had to remove the back cover, more than 25 screws; I took the opportunity to clean the fan) but when I turned on the computer and BIOS the Hitachi drive is recognized as an optical drive!

  You can see an image here:

  After that I could get into Windows 7 (64), disk management recognizes it as a disk, but is unable to initialize. After restarting the computer, I can't get Windows anymore, because it directly goes to the recovery mode.

  Any help would be appreciated! Is it possible to do the BIOS to recognize the second disk as a hard drive?

  Carlos

  + The message was edited: faulty link has been removed.

  First I would recommend you to check the boot device order.
  No doubt the STRANGE was set first boot device and portable tries to boot from the HARD drive that is connected to the controller of the STRANGE.
  If this does not work, delete the old HDD Hitachi, reset the default BIOS and try to start once more.

  To be honest I'm not quite sure if the BIOS would support such configuration Mr. I mean not all laptops can be upgraded with a 2nd HDD and in many cases, the BIOS would bear not the HDD installed in the ODD Bay so this configuration can cause problems.

• IAM thinking without downgrading my desire to hp 700-074 to windows 7 is worthy

  IAM thinking without downgrading my want to hp for windows 7 is it worthy and just in case I want to dwongrade in any case I want the drivers that need me so my desire to hp 700-074 to work properly or the dirvers it comes with compatible with windows 7

  WARNING *.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  You can buy a copy of Windows with a Microsoft COA and a Windows product key is valid.

  You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in page 'Configuration of the BIOS start-up secured' in the settings below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  or

  

  Also, as the hard disk can be partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the boot menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive", "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  Most of the Windows 7 driver for the CTO page drivers HP ENVY Phoenix 810-135qe desktop PC should run on your computer. If you have missing or unknown devices after installing the drivers, please post the "Hardware ID" Device Manager for devices as shown in the example below.

• Satellite A20-130: SD-R2412 cannot read that DVD burned in some optical drives

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite A20-130, running Windows XP and Ununtu Dapper in a double score. My 2nd laptop is not a Toshiba. When I burned the DVD (DVD + R) with my laptop Toshiba no and played against them in my Satellite everything has worked well.

  However, when I bought a new optical drive for my 2nd my Toshiba laptop suddenly stopped playing DVDs burned in this new optical disc (I was using exactly the same brand of disc and the same format - DVD + R). I tried the old DVD (those burned in the laptop before that material from the optical drive has been upgraded) and they can still read perfectly well.

  This problem applies to both Ubuntu and Windows XP. Computer support portable 2nd said that sounds like a problem of firmware with my Toshiba. I updated the driver for my optical drive Toshiba R2412 SD (which according to the manual of the leader, seems to fix a DVD-Ram compatibility issue). Now the reader occasionally reads some of the new DVDs burnt (after doing lots of noise and waiting for ages), but more often that not, I get an error message saying that the device cannot be read, because the format is wrong or the device needs to be formatted.

  This computer non-Toshiba laptop read DVD, it burns using the optical drive improved perfectly.

  Hello

  Satellite A20 is old enough laptop model, and after intensive use, it may be that the disc is more sensitive. If all this happens occasionally there no explanation just why this happens.

  I know it's pretty boring, but I don't see any magic solution. In the end, you should test with new disc.

• Satellite L855 - 12G and 2nd hard drive

  Is it possible to eventually put a 2nd hard drive of my laptop Satellite L855 - 12G?

  Thank you

  Hello

  When you remove the memory cover on the underside of your laptop, you will see that there is only one available HARD drive location. There is no place for the second HARD drive.

  If you need more capacity, you can exchange original HDD by another. Of course, you can use external HDD or USB sticks.

  Some people try to remove the optical disk drive and put the second HARD drive here using special HDD bay but the problem is that many of them have stated that this second HDD was not recognized correctly.
