• Adding a 2nd HARD drive to my 9270 t-cable included already?

  I would like to add a 2nd HARD drive to my t 9270.  I jumped the cover and am fishing around, but I see no alternative power SATA cables.  I see what the data looks like spare cables transfer and I see spare power cables, but they are not SATA interfaces.  Before you start unscrewing stuff to dig deep or purchase cables that I may not be no need, I thought I'd post here.  Every computer I've had in the past has spare cables, at least enough to add a disc more than what came with the basic config.

  9270t comes with power and spare data cable so I can add a SATA HDD, or I'll have to go buy more?

  Thank you!

  Yes, you will need another sata data cable.  Power is Prewired do not buy data cables.

  Here is the motherboard of your PC. It has sata ports 4 four in the lower right corner.  Two are on the edge and two vertical.  The black and white image layout will give you the numbers of labelling and the ports.

  Thank you very much for the help.

  Unfortunately, it won't work.

  Your desktop PC old venerable uses don't suport not the SATA interface and IDE hard disks. He certainly gave you several (10) years of great service.

  SSDS use the SATA interface.

  There is none of the hard drives SSD IDE on the market.

  This is why it was suggested at the forum that you referenced to turn off the old office in the pasture.

• Computer sees no 2nd hard drive

  I have installed 2 new hard drives in my laptop, but when I go into my computer I see my main HDD, why is my other hard drive in the Bay of 2nd not displayed?

  It is probably empty and no will appear in Windows Explorer (my computer) up to partitioned, formatted and mounted. If it's a laptop with 2 drives I'll guess it's either a dv9000 or a model dv7 and you have Vista. Right-click on computer and select Manage then disk management. You should be able to initialize and format and mount the drive, so it has a drive letter, and then you can access it from Windows Explorer.

• 2nd hard drive install on pavilion dv7-3060us 17.3 inches with Quad core processor

  Pavilion dv7-3060us computer has a 2nd hard drive Bay.  On 2 flags of 17.3 inches previous, I installed a 2nd HDD.  This quad core Pavilion is much thinner than the previous pavilions;  the underside of the computer has also a centre piece in the form of "T" in the Panel without screw - is a pop on the access panel or the entire bottom panel needs to be removed through the perimeter screws?  Still trying to find a manual showing this particular case - no luck so far.  The downloaded HP

  Manual for the previous dv-7 is for the case of style like unless I missed something.

  Install an SSD soon - would like to have all the "stuff" to install a 2nd drive hard if possible.  Anything I should be aware of before perform this procedure?  Don't really want to remove all the merits of the case.

  Thanks for any help that can be provided.

  DP - K

  I appreciate the help.  The Caddy is the same that I used before (on the 1st dv7) the 2nd dv7 used the direct taking of 90 degrees into the adapter.  I have both of these me more allotted a 500 GB HD.  All I need pickup is the SSD.

  The "T" sign on the back of my case has no screws - but I can see the 3 component tabs snap at the top of the "T" through the small crack on the case.  These are shown on the exploded view of repair.  I'm projecting from the 'snap-out' Panel down on the vertical leg of the "T".

  Once again; Thank you

• You attempt to add a 2nd hard drive

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE 510 t. I try to add a 2nd hard drive. The 2nd hard drive is a Toshiba 1 TB 7200 RPM 6G.

  Accordingly, the 1st HDD was plugged on SATA2 and the CD-ROM was connected to SATA1. It worked and it started ok.

  I added the 2nd hard drive, plugged on SATA3, went into the BIOS Setup and it has not even see SATA3.

  I then plugged the CD-ROM on SATA3 and the 2nd hard disk on SATA1 and lit, is went into the BIOS config amd saw 2 hard drive and a hard disk 1, it did not see the Wired CD SATA3. Then I tried SATA4-nothing.

  I have advanced and partitioned and formatted the hard drive into two partitions 2 and recovered the data from a backup on each partition.

  It works very well, with both devices, but nothing I have connect SATA3 or SATA4 is recognized by the BIOS.

  Can someone tell me why? is there a jumper on the system board or a setting in the BIOS that turns on SATA3 and SATA4?

  Are my bad SATA3, SATA4?

  I've seen the specifications for hard disks. He is said to use a 1 to 3G 7200 RPM. IS the fact that I use a 1 to 7200 RPM 6 G the cause? Even with the hard drive 2 disconnected and hard drive 1 SATA1 or 2 and SATA3 or 4 CD, it does not yet recognize the CD-ROM drive.

  I tried to pass autour SATA data cables, but it has not changed. Anyone know why the system will not recognized the connected CD-ROM SATA3 or SATA4?

  Or whatever it is well plugged SATA3 or 4? I can run both hard drives, but then I don't have a CD-ROM drive, or I can run a hard drive and a CD-ROM drive, but not 2nd hard drive.

  Any suggestions? I know choose IDE used to have to set a date for the cable, but I don't think that SATA requires that.

  Am I wrong?

  I bought a $70 ServerSupply.com motherboard, succeeded him and it solved the problem.

  Someone here even suggested, but me. I forgot what email I signed up for this site.

• HP ENVY Phoenix 810-135qe CTO Desktop PC adding 2nd hard drive

  I have added a second hard drive to my system (3 TB Seagate) that is the same (brand / model) on the main drive.  Device Manager sees the drive, but Win 7 Pro does not see the drive.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Look in to the new hard drive disk management.  To use the full capacity of the drive, you'll need to be initialized and he the GPT format.  Don't forget to assign a drive letter and a volume name.  In addition, make sure that the drive appears as online and not in offline mode.

  This laptop has an option for a 2nd HARD drive.

  I'm guesing that a special BIOS change is needed to allow the reader to 2nd.

  Success!

  I think it was just plugging in the cable needed to be reinstalled.

  I confirmed that the drve was good with an external cable.

  I made the stop while holding down the SHIFT key.

  Once it did not work.

  Then I took out the cable and put it back making sure to he went in the port exactly how is HDD - 1.

  This time, he appeared in the windows Device Manager. I already made the partition, format, assign the drive letter.

  Everything is good to go now. I'm glad, that I have a lot of storage space on my laptop.

  Thanks for the suggestions, have a nice day.

• DV7-6c95dx: ADDING 2nd HARD DRIVE WE DV7

  ADDING 2ND HARD DRIVE - IT DOES NOT APPEAR UNDER MY COMPUTER - I DON'T KNOW IF SA FORMATTING OR NOT - CAN GET SOME DIRECTIONS - THANK YOU

  How did you add it? Where's the hardware mounting hard disk? In any State of cause, assuming that you have installed a hard drive was bought, it would be empty and needs be initialized (mounted) and formatted. To find computer or this PC in the right click menu... Choose manage, disk management and you will see a Visual representation of the hard drives. It can automatically prompts you to initialize the disk. Once do you that and format it in ntfs and assign a drive letter and the name of the volume, it will appear in the computer as a lettered drive.

• Adding 2nd hard drive for Dell E310

  Hello

  I recently made some updates to my E310 and, until I got to the point where I was adding the second hard drive, everything went well.

  First of all, nobody in my local computer store knew of the blue Paw was to add 2nd hard drive; They suggested screw. This isn't the first hard drive I have installed, even if it is the first in my Dell. After my third attempt of Googling, I struck gold - a post in the forum explaining that support is needed and a telephone number to order. I am so grateful for this response.

  I read in similar positions and before putting the drive in I want to understand what is needed after the physical installation. This player will not hold the OS (XP Media), but held the whole image, music, and various files. Still must the player be partitioned and formatted using disk management I read in another post? I understand that I must go into the Bios to activate the second hard drive, so to speak. Is this similar to enter the CMOS? Would you be able to provide clear instructions?

  Is there anything else I should do to get the new HDD to be operational?

  Thank you for your time and thanks to the person who posted this phone number.

• Pavilion 500-098: adding hard drive, but no 2nd hard drive Bay

  I want to add a second internal hard drive to this computer, but unfortunately the computer has only a hard drive Bay. There is plenty of space for a second hard drive, I thought that I would put the player in the unused space, setting in place somehow so that it does not move. I know I could install an external hard drive, but prefer to have an internal hard drive. The power supply has a supplement of power supply (unused) harddrive.  The motherboard is a Joshua-H61-Μatx. It has 4 SATA connections on it.  SATA0 is connected to the hard drive, SATA2 is connected to the DVD player. SATA1 and SATA3 are free. My idea of adding a second hard drive without a second HDD Bay would work?
