• 2nd hard drive on the dv7-6b77dx

  I have a dv7-6b77dx, and I decided to upgrade my laptop with an SSD, only to discover that, even if there is a cabby for a second drive, the sata cable is not included. Also, if I want to order to the HP parts store, I can not just the cable; I have to get the full kit, even if there is no use for the remaining parts. Of course, I'm angry and do not want to pay ~ $50 + shipping for a HARD drive kit when I need only the cable. I have a more economic and more logical option here? Moreover, the cable or the kit will probably be the last HP product I take it than ever. Very disappointed.

  Hello:

  I think it is the cable you need.

  Still a bit pricey for a bad cable HARD drive, but you must do what you have to do...

• Second hard drive for the dv7 - 7047cl

  Can a second hard drive be added to the dv7 - 7047cl?

  (It is standard drive is a 1 TB of HARD drive).

  If so, how?

  Thank you!

  Hi Mike,.

  You are welcome

  There should be no problem with Bios recognizing the 2nd HARD drive, however it may not appear in Windows (under the Start Menu, computer) until the drive has been formatted.

  You can format the second HDD as follows.

  Hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type compmgmt.msc , and then press ENTER.  Click disk management in the left pane and let readers load upward.  Right-click on your new HARD drive and select Format to start the wizard.  Windows 7 will affect a Volume label so if your happy with it, just leave the default.  File system is NTFS.  Allocation unit size must be left by default.  Select the option to perform a quick format if it is not already done.  Leave all the other default settings, and then click Ok, and then Ok to start the process.

  Once this done, your new HARD disk should now appear when you look under the computer.

  Kind regards

• 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...

• Can I add a hard drive on the U840T-108 Satellite?

  Hello
  I bought a Toshiba Satellite U840T-108 and I had not noticed that there was a 128 GB SSD drive. I would like to add 1 to or 500 GB Sata hard drive.
  Is this possible? T Y is the room in the computer?
  Thank you
  PS: I'm French so excuse me if I speak little English.

  I can see in paper manuals s user that your machine is not the cover of HARD drive on the lower side, so for an upgrade low cover has to be removed and it must be done by the only authorized service.
  If you try to do this alone you will lose warranty valid.

  In my opinion, you have to call the nearest provider of Toshiba in your country, explain the situation and ask for advice. Guaranteed valid is very important to not do something on your own.

  Either way, I think your machine has connector disk HARD vacuum placed near the ventilation of cooling. I m not 100% sure all of this, but you can check with the technicians.

• What cable do need me to a second hard drive on the DV7 - 4104ca. The caddy kit is the wrong cable

  I bought the hard drive enclosure kit (605415-001) to install a second hard drive on my DV7 - 4104ca. The cable supplied with the kit is the same on the main hard drive, but the motherboard has only 1 conntector to cable companies. There is another free connector on the card that uses the same cable that the internal hard drive, but assistance phone HP has no idea what I'm talking about.

  Does anyone know which cable (part number) I need?

  Or even what it is that the type of connector called and then I can source my own cable.

  Thank you!

  You are the very welcome.

  It will be.

• install the new hard drive on the dv7

  So I'm about to install a new hard drive in my dv7, but remove the battery cover, then said drag training with tap pull on the reader, but does not move any direction. I have never replaced a front disc on my laptop and do not want to damage anything. But what am I I miss it please help.

  Thank you

  Ken

  Kenny sent me a personal massage with his problem on how to remove the hard drive, so it was my response to him. Finally the problem was the tab which had to be pulled to remove the drive was hidden below, there was nothing to shoot. For someone who never removed a hard disk, this would not be an obvious thing to understand.

  There are a whole bunch of pictures that I sent to him I thought to be very useful here. The photos are of a dv8.

  It should be just sitting there. You have a digital camera. If you do I will help you with the steps to upload a few photos so I can see what is happening. What is your new model number. You can also use a small screwdriver to lift gently over the blue of Assembly seats.

  

• Add 2nd HARD drive to Time Capsule - best practices?

  Hello

  I have an iMac running El Capitan at the end of 2012, supporting up to a 4th Gen 2 TB Time Capsule. The total size of my backup is 1.05 to. Incremental backups take the total space used on the TC to about 1.6 TB.

  Fear of the HARD drive TC will: phut that I, as a "belt and Suspenders" approach, yesterday signed a 2 TB Western Digital Elements HARD drive for the TC and other introduced Time Machine backups. He is currently conducting his first backup to the new HARD drive to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format.

  The iMac and the TC are connected via 200AV Homeplugs.

  I have two questions if you don't mind...

  Should I have copied the existing backups from the drive HARD internal TC for the new drive external HARD first, so that two backups are ongoing for the same item, with the same 'history', as they save in alternation? What is wise or even possible? As is stands, the new hard drive back up the iMac from scratch so if the TC HDD died, I'd lose all historical backups (they date back to March 2015), with just a very recent version on the new HARD drive.

  The progress of the backup on the new disk, while that connected to the TC, is slow. After that 11 hours I'm only 16 GB to 1.05 TB - it has not yet calculated the time remaining yet :-) I assumed connecting via Homeplug iMac would be more robust than the Wi - Fi for such a transfer of data. I appreciate there are several factors at play here - the size of the files, the indexing of the backup, the speed of the Homeplugs, age / my wiring standard, etc. etc.

  I would have been better connecting this direct drive new external DRIVE in the iMac, the first backup, then connect it to the TC to continue it's incremental backups replacing? Yet once, is it still possible?

  Thank you very much for any help. After spending only to Mac a few years back I love TM - I have never found a Windows backup system that has worked for me the way of TM.

  See you soon.

  Should I have copied the existing backups from the drive HARD internal TC for the new drive external HARD first, so that two backups are continue from the same point with the same "historical."

  IMHO you do it the correct way back up again.

  The story is not so important after a few weeks and months... If the computer was stolen for example... what you want to do is to restore the computer as is... and what you were doing last year is really little relevant... Even if the TC Gen4 goes wrong, the story is never likely to be lost by the TC Gen4... it just needs the disc removed to put in the work. But it's the current image of the computer which is always the most important.

  We found copy of the enormously successful backups. Although in this case it would have been possible to do an archive... always if you asked the question of what you need to do... Myself and several others here always recommend a new clean as backup being the most reliable method.

  I would have been better connecting this direct drive new external DRIVE in the iMac, the first backup, then connect it to the TC to continue it's incremental backups replacing? Yet once, is it still possible?

  This is a good question... EOP adapters can be very slow. Slower than wireless AV200 are a pretty old standard and the actual speed could be all about 30Mbps down... It might surprise you... and indeed there have been measured before.

  The problem is that Time Machine backs up differently on the local network FC drives... When you plug the USB key into the TC then it's a network drive and the backup will not be recognized.

  Pondini wrote a method to get around this.

  Here see Q18.

  http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  I have not tried... Bob Timmons that's regular shows here has and discovered that it was not reliable. In my view, that a backup is too important to fiddling so.

  However, leaving the USB drive plugged into the Mac and keep the local backup of very good sense. It is much faster and more reliable than the backups over the network.

  If you really want to have the backup on the WD drive plugged into the TC, then I recommend do you via ethernet... Remove the TC of the network if it is too far for a patch lead... you can save the current configuration (export from the main menu of airport utility), then plug it into the computer directly with a short patch lead... and the USB in the TC, the backup will be much more quick... less than one full day (24 hours) for 1 TB if all goes well. Once completed you can then put the TC via the USB back in the network location.

• How can I run two disk hard of (adding a 2nd hard drive) on the flag a1020n?

  How to do two hard drives on the a1020n Pavilion, after adding a new hard drive for my existing CPU?  My old hard drive is out, so I will install a new hard drive, redefinition of the new hard drive, but I still want to have access to the old disk until I have transferred all my personal files to the new drive.  I saw answers to self-help.

  Yes. I often throw in additional disks other PC as a second drive... just give Windows a minute or two to find and configure the drives after their installation. You can use the Explorer to browse the file structure.

• How to add 2nd hard drive; first is full

  5.7 LR used on an iMac with a catalog and images at this point on a single external hard drive.

  Now that the drive is close to full so a second drive ready to go.

  I need advice on how to proceed. I think my options would be:

  1. continue with the same catalog but speaking to 2 hard drives (possible or not?) The rest catalog where it is on Drive 1 or move it to the new Drive 2?

  2. create the catalog on the new hard drive where the new and future pictures are stored. In this case, when I want to see/manipulate the older images, I have to open the older catalog, I guess, and there is no way to have all the images of these two albums "visible" or accessible at the same time.

  I hope that I've explained this well enough. Appreciate any advice, thanks.

  Well your post on the space available on disk 1 is revealing. You have simply not enough space on disk 1 to copy whatever it is him. This includes new writing entries in the LR catalog file. you need to move things off disc 1. Do not move images unless you do only from Lightroom.

  But there are probably tons of things on disc 1 that can easily and safely, move to the new drive or even removed completely.

  Never fill a disc. Always allow free to at least 10-20%.

• Can't access 2nd HARD drive on the Pavilion p6220nl?

  I had installed a second HDD SATA in my Pavilion p6220nl desktop computer by unplugging the DVD/CD player with its SATA data and power cables.  He succeeded and I was using my regular hard drive so my new drive to HARD drive for several weeks.

  Once my new SATA cable arrived, I tried to reinstall my DVD/CD player that I had also only 2 SATA power connectors.  Instead I tried to use very low power for the new HARD drive connector.  Result, I can not access my new HARD drive.  I tried back (i.e. unplugged my DVD/CD drive again and using this SATA power connector instead) and it still won't go.

  I updated my BIOS and tried everything I can think of, but without success.  If anyone can help?  Is there indeed a Molex Pin 4--> adapter SATA connector?  Could I have ruined my new HARD drive with the two small connector and power cables attached SATA power connector?  Is there a specific SATA ports they need to go in.

  Currently the situation is now:

  SATA Slot 0 - drive DVD/CD (data cable connected only)

  1 - usual HD SATA connector

  SATA connector 2 - new HARD drive

  Slot SATA 3 - empty

  Appreciate any advice or assistance.

  Thank you

  Stephen

  As you said, you had it working. Then attached a unknown thread on the disc. Now, reconnect to a wiring known, that worked. Don't know, don't worry. The car was damaged. Sorry!

• Satellite P200-1EE I can install a 2nd hard drive in the Bay of spare?

  First of all, Hi everyone!

  I have the laptop model above, and he has a spare drive Bay. There are connectors for pins at one end, but it doesn't seem like the drive will fit. It's like there's a missing - like component case Connector for the 1st disk slot. I bought a 500 GB drive and tried to see if he would be in shape. The 1st disk has a metal basket attached, and who does not.

  Is it possible to install a 2nd drive for this model? If so, what would need to do?

  Thank you!

  Andy

  Hello

  If you have a connector in the second HARD drive Bay, you can add a second HDD. But you will need a wire basket as on the first HARD disk. Therefore, you can contact an authorized service provider because you can get all the parts on their part.
