  There are four different versions of the Optiplex 7010, Mini-Tower, desktop, Small Form Factor and the Ultra Small Form Factor.

  Assuming you have the desktop version and not the minitower.

  The desktop version, can support a 3.5 "or 2 x 2.5" SATA drives.

  You will need a basket of 3.5 "x 2 x 2.5" hard drive, plus one SATA data cable and possible a SATA Y power splitter.

• motherboard crashed on the old computer and need to install on a new computer

  Motherboard crashed on the old computer; bought a new one but I'm not sure how to install it. In addition, I must renew the subscription. Don't know how to move forward from here. I also forgot to mention that the creative cloud is used on two separate computers

  Hi Larry,

  You'll want to start the installation process on the computer with the new motherboard. Reinstall the application cloud and then creative applications. The procedure is described here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html

  Hope that helps,

• 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.

• When I download an upgrade to Lightroom (e.g. LR 4 to 5 LR), can I delete the old application (LR4) from my hard drive?

  I upgraded LR LR 4 to 5 in the past and then update to LR 5.5 to 5.7. My SSD drive is quite full and there is enough significant LR 4 files such as Lightroom_4_LS11_win_4_4.  Can it be deleted from my hard drive or upgrading to LR 5 somehow relies on them?

  Yes, you can remove previous versions.

  but do not lose their serial number.  you will need serial number of the previous version to install lr 5 in the future, if you've always wanted.

• How internal big hard drive added to XPS 8700?

  Desktop XPS 8700
  Latest version of the Bios

  (1) I want to add a second drive, a disk of 5 TB storage in a XPS 8700. How big of a hard drive inside can accommodate of the XPS 8700?

  (2) the MBR, this storage 5 TB disk boot disk will be TPG. Do I have to keep each partition of the disk of 5 to less 2 TB or I can exceed this size for one or more of the partitions?

  Thank you

  Hi I456kle9p,

  Yes, it should work provide your Intel RST is the latest version. And with GPT, you can keep one big partition. Worst case, a car cheap controller will allow any player to work.

• How to check if the 2nd HARD drive is possible on the Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7?

  Hello

  My A200/PSAE7 has a 200 GB HARD drive. For backup reasons, I would like to know - or learn to know how check - if my A200 already have the hardware support for a 2nd HARD drive, next to the slot for a 2nd HARD drive.
  In the BIOS, I see 'Toshiba MKxxx - hard drive' and 'hard drive - None '. Is the last entry in the BIOS is a sign that a 2nd HARD drive is supported and has to be put in the second location of HARD drive?

  Thanks in advance for any answer!

  Best regards
  Andreas

  You can do the following:

  Open the cover when the 2nd drive HARD so-called must be installed and check for some SATA connectors or cables. If there is an unused SATA connection so you can upgrade, if no, then you will need to backup your data on USB - HDD or whatever.

  If in the BIOS is something now, he won't say that he is physically present.

• Pavilion Slimline d 235 400 has room for a 2nd hard drive?

  (2) my HP warranty is cancelled if I buy my 2nd hard drive and install on my own?

  Thank you!

  BH

  BH098, welcome to the forum.

  I don't think you can install a second hard drive.  In the case, here are the bays of units:

  Size Bay bays Total

  13.33 cm (5.25 inches) ODD	1
  8,89 cm (3.5 inch) HARD drive	1
  * Berries can be occupied by existing material.

  One is occupied by the HARD drive and the other by the DVD recorder.  If you want to add a disk, I suggest buying a USB 3.0 external drive.

  If you have installed a second hard drive, he would not cancel your warranty.

• 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.

  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

• DV7-4280us - Bay of disk HARD 2nd vacuum has no visible connection to a 2nd HARD drive.

  My laptop Pavilion DV7 and previous DV8 had two bays for HARD drives, one of them wired to a hard drive, but not containing is not a hard disk at the time of purchase.  I expect the same thing when I ordered this Pavilion DV7-4280us, which is, I think, made in China, but I have not the same.  This one came without visible connectors for the hard drive, I had already bought to install into the empty Bay.  My Technical Support call made me advice to buy a disc kit hard (with caddy & connections) from HP, as if the receive connectors were available in the drive Bay HARD vacuum.  I didn't not agree because (and the next two paragraphs I added so that the well-intentioned forum members continue to give me the standard answer for laptops which actually have the usual connectors & waiting in the drive Bay HARD 2nd vacuum.  I appreciate the two forum members who have offered help so far, but there is no need to waste more based on my failure to clarify the problem):

  There is NO METAL NAKED INTO THE BAY VOID that COULD CONNECT a HARD disk.
        UNLESS A NEW CONNECTOR GOES TO THE MOTHERBOARD HARD DRIVE, IT IS USELESS FOR THIS COMPUTER.

  Each HARD drive connector I've seen only connects the HARD drive to a connector in the HARD drive Bay.
  

  The connector of the latter reaches the motherboard, and that the connector does not exist in this 2nd computer HARD disc Bay.
  

  Even if I could get a cable to connect a HARD drive to an unused connection & waiting on the M-Board, I can't M-Board.  M-Board is inside a barrier which could be called the bottom of the laptop - external surface of the portable computer.  (Battery and bays for HARD drives are outside the confines of the current computer, the value in their own hollow spaces in the bottom panel, with secondary coverage on the hollow spaces, i.e. the bays for HARD drives and storage media).  I looked for a way really open the casing and expose the M-Council connection for 2nd HARD drive (IF it exists); but I didn't know how to do it.  It is clear to me that this is not intended to be a facility run by the user. But I would if HP (or maybe even a 3rd party who made it) provided some good instructions.

  I'd like to think that HP did not make this change to the line DV7 laptops to double HARD drive, and that the Chinese manufacturer made the change without approval or even knowledge of the management of HP.  I want to believe that because he was, at best, a really stupid thing for HP to the customers who pay for the best HP can provide.

  So my questions are the following:

  1. The motherboard in this computer still has the ability to manage a 2nd hard drive?
  2. If 'NO', then HP would be willing to take over this very disappointing computer in Exchange to a DV7 which is equipped with HARD drive connectors available in the 2nd, empty, Bay?
  3. If 'YES', then
  4. HP or someone else would be willing to provide connectors, and instructions for me,
  5. OR install the missing connection to the drive for me, Bay
  6. While, in both cases 4 or 5, I can install a HARD drive in the Bay, empty 2nd drive reasonably, I expected when I ordered this computer?

  All my apologies and thanks to KaLin0908, who responded so quickly and helped me realize that my original description was not clear enough.  I hope that my changes to clarify the problem have not ruined the tone of my call.  I'm aiming for "clear and grateful."  If this revision reads as Loud or Yelling or abrasive or anything else bad, I'd appreciate any suggestions to improve it.

  I have the same computer.

  At first seems like you say but

  If you look carefully the second Bay of hd, you will see 4 small holes

  Those who are for the hard drive caddy, you can buy that and it's expensive

  You should also buy a hd cable, but be careful, there must be about 5 inches long

  The cable for 1 hard disk does not work

  One end goes on the hard drive and the other going to the MB. The connection is planned

  for the memory modules

  The kit costs about $ 45. If bought at hp and about 35 if purchased by another company

  http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?Main_Page=product_info&products_id=345

  This will give you an idea of where/how the screws connect to the caddy

  4. connect the hd to the caddy /ssd

  4. connect the housing inside the laptop

• XPS 8700 2nd hard drive Bay access

  I want to install an SSD in my Dell XPS 8700 system. Once I opened the side panel, I noticed there was a Bay that said second hard drive. Exactly how you can access this Bay? You cannot mount the drive, sliding to the rear, because the power supply works in the way. Then of course, she must cross the front. You physically remove the front panel of the computer? I hate doing this, because something always breaks i.e. clips, some son gets snatch etc. I guess I could remove the power temporarily.

  Thank you

• With the help of Windows Easy Transfer - need to transfer the old HARD drive to new computer - old HDD attached as external drive for the new usb port of the computer - help

  New computer installed Windows 7 and gave me an option to use Windows easy transfer to transfer files, data, programs, etc. from my old computer.  All I have from the old computer's hard drive; a lightning strike fried either food or his mother by car.  I have attached the hard as a disk to the new computer using the usb cable provided with the external hard drive case.  It is recognized as drive E: on the new computer.

  Trying to follow the instructions given by the Windows Easy Transfer software.  Get the software/folder from the old hard drive (drive E), but trying to run the software that I can't seem to do anything on the old disk.  When asked what is the former or the new computer - I respond to old, but no new file is created for the transfer.  When I answer again, a new file is created on the new computer (rather than the old HDD) and then he transferred again to new.  I can't create a file of whatever it is I want to transfer from the old HDD.

  I can't use an easy transfer cable because the old computer does not only the hard drive.  I can't connect to a network for the same reason.  I only have the hard that I can attach to the new computer.  But I can't get the new computer to process the old hard drive separately for transfer purposes.  The only other option I can think of is to attach the old HDD to another computer, and then try to run the software in this way, but I don't want just the stuff on the old hard drive a copy to the other computer.

  Can anyone help?  Suggest how to get the old hard drive files, data, transferred etc. to the new computer.  What are the steps?

  Thank you.

  Do yourself a favor, with the old drive connected externally, in the browser, simply copy the data files to the location of Documents of the PC win7. You can not copy programs, they need to be reinstalled from media origonal. You can copy all the downloaded files instalation

• Transfer of files from the old HARD DRIVE to new computer without an old computer. (He's dead - can not use) I have the hard drive, but need help to transfer my old files and settings.

  ·        My old Win XP computer died - it is completely unusable. I bought a new PC with Win 7 Pro and 1 TB. I still have the old HARD DRIVE (250 GB) which I have attached on the new computer using an external enclosure supports SATA drives. The external hard drive is connected to the computer in USB 3.0. I checked that the new computer can see the external hard drive. (I also used for backups by changing the hard drive with a 2 TB drive 'mass storage' - that works.)

  I searched the internet for possible solutions and found no help. If the transfer of files from Microsoft would change the disc to analyze, it would be simple. But if I select the OLD computer it scans the disk I'm on (new) - automatically.

  Is there anyone who has had the same problem? He must be because computers die all the time and people buy new computers - who then, somehow, they get the former transferred files. I could do it manually, but that wouldn't change the settings. Last resort would be to buy an old computer XP (SATA), replace the drive. Transfer the files, and then sell this computer.

  You may be able to recover your data files, but I hope that you will set up your new system to automatically backup a second internal hard drive or an external USB hard drive.

  This suggestion may not work, but it's worth a try. Buy an external USB drive enclosure. They come in two sizes 2.5 "for the portable computer drives and 3.5" for desktop disks. You can purchase adapters for 3.5 "envelopes so that they can also be used with a portable player. Place the hard drive in the enclosure and connect to a USB port of another computer. Several hard disks are more able to start, but the contents of the disc can still be accessed, read and copied from the disk because you do not use the operating system on a failed disk.

  Here is an example of the type of device, I suggest:
  http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=external+hardrive+enclosure&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=14388537836&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=556960941559985931&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_32uorbwbuk_b

  You need only to the speaker, that you see are not necessarily more expensive. Thereafter, you can put an old hard drive usable, an abandoned because you need a larger drive internal, in the enclosure and use it as additional external storage.
