Added a 2 TB hard drive to my Office P6250t

I installed the hard drive and started the system, but I donot see the drive when I open file Explorer. The drive appears in Device Manager. How can I get the system to recongize the drive?

It must be initialized, partitoned and formatted first. You do not tell us the version of Windows, but as a general rule, you right click 'Computer' or 'This PC' and select Manage then go to disk management and you should see a new Virgin area. Click inside that and select new simple volume... format and then mount with a drive letter.

    To add new pictures from the backup copy, you need backup software that can perform incremental backups, just like Time Machine for your complete Mac.

  • Adding space with bigger hard drives with 3WARE 9650SE RAID

    My original installation of Windows 7 is on a RAID 10 set up using 4 640 GB drives on a 3Ware 9650SE RAID card.  I replaced the drives one at a time with 1 TB drives, leaving reconstruction table each time before adding another.   Now that all 4 are in place, I would have a little less than 2 TB of space, but it does not appear.  Win7 is installed on a 200 GB partition, with the rest of the disk space showing that GB 972 yet (that I use for file storage).   Any thoughts on how to extend this option to use all the available space under the name more storage RAID 2?  I does not appear under management of the reader and does not help the 3DM 2 with resizing tool.  This has worked well for the RAID migration when on the SATAs motherboard, but it's another controller.   I would prefer not to have to reload Windows to use the extra space.

  • Question of hard drive on the Office of Firebird 802

    I have a 3 year old office of Firebird 802 which is supposed to have 500 GB hard disk, but what I see is:

    222 GB for drive c.

    and

    232 GB for drive E

    and

    10 GB for the factory image

    The C drive is almost full and despite the elimination of a number of programs recently rest between 4-7 GB close to being full.  I haven't added anything else that the free space has been fluctuating for some reason any.

    What I was asking is how to use drive E or it will automatically put things out there for me that do not fit on the C drive?

    I'm not real familiar with HP products as this has been my first HP computer and I don't know if I can change the video card myself on these models with something better, or if the video card that is currently in it is that I'm stuck with forever. Inside is a Nvidia nForce 760i SLI.

    Hello

    The 500 GB is bytes raw and once formatted it will end with what you said.

    Download Windirstat and see if you can determine which fills up your PC.

    You should be able to move the data to the E drive.

    What operating system do you use?  If you are running Windows 7 so that you can move a certain number of "my" folders type for drive E.  Review of this article if you are running Windows 7.  I moved "MY" pictures, videos, downloads, music, Favorites, documents on disk 'E' using this approach.

    What is the number of product for your Firebird?  You can have video cards dual SLI mode which is very rare for the HP PC.

  • Adding a second hard drive internal

    I use an old HP Media Center PC m700, product: m7041. I have tried adding a second internal hard drive, but unfortunately do not know how to start. Could someone help me please?

    I'll start by guessing that you have a m7041.uk, given that your model number is incomplete. After you have a HP m7041.uk, you have the following types of drive Bay and the quantities;

    5.25 inches (CD/DVD), external x two (one available)
    a (busy) x internal 3.5-inch (hard drive),
    Personal Media Drive (available) x

    Because you don't have that a single Bay 3.5 "for a hard drive and it is already occupied, you will need to use the Bay 5.25" opened with an adapter like THIS or THAT. Please see these tutorials for HP on 'Adding or replacing a hard drive' and 'Adding or replacing a CD or DVD disc' to learn where and how to install the second hard drive.

  • External hard drive is not recognized after Windows Update

    Original title: XP Pro wants to install driver for external hard drive that is Plug-and-Play

    I think that using Windows Update can cause problems (unintentinally or not) for users of Windows XP.

    In a series of accidents with an old computer and reinstall the XP Pro operating system, I discovered that MS Money installing only if it was made before the Windows updates.  (planned obsolescense?) The issue has to do with the removal of the registry AUTORUN file. INF for some new and improved files through Windows Update.  Before the updates, the file exists, and I could install MS money.  After updates, AUTORUN. Missing INF file of the registry.

    Now, I encountered a new problem, and I think that it is also a result of Windows Update.  My external hard drive to IDE, that worked perfectly before on this computer (newer), is no longer recognized and want to reinstall the driver.

    The problem is that it is a Plug-and-Play device, and no driver was needed before updates.  I read somewhere in my many attempts to find a solution that the MS Plug and Play system was replaced by a universal version of this feature (UPNP?)

    It's on a more recent, computer replacement, which came not with a copy of the Windows XP Pro operating system, and I can't just reformat the hard drive and start all over again.

    Someone else has encountered this, and if so, have you found a solution?

    Where is my external hard drive?

    I'm under XP Pro on a Dell Optiplex PC with all the current Windows updates (SP3. Net4, etc..) and last month, I added a USB IDE hard drive. the hard disk enclosure is MASSCOOL, and I used a 250 GB Seagate Barracuda7800. The car worked perfectly until this week. I had the Windows Update critical update automaticlly value and security updates.

    The hard drive has disappeared from "my computer." I tried to plug and unplug in different USB ports, restarted the computer, but continues to receive the "new hardware detected by saying me that new hardware has been detected and that I need to install the necessary driver.

    The problem is that Seagate does not provide any driver for this drive, because it is supposed to be (and was so far) recognized by the Plug-and-Play of Windows XP software. The hard drive enclosure came with a mini CD, but this contains software to use the unit as a back-up, not for storage.

    I can't understand that this change suddenly to believe that something in the Windows updates that have been installed recently changed the command structure, registry files or the drivers themselves.

    I know this is possible, because I've seen what's happened to any program that relied on self. INF file that was originally part of XP. This resulted in programs like Microsoft Money and older versions of MS Office, not being able to be installed by those of us who are not 'technically lit.

    I'm here in left field, or other people have had similar problems? And is anyone know how to solve this dilemma?

  • Pavilion a6544f does not recognize SATA hard drive

    I'm running Vista on this machine and added a second internal hard drive: a WD Caviar 1 TB GB. I connected the SATA cable to the SATA connector to blue color on the motherboard (Benicia-GL8E) and had to get a 4 pin to SATA power plug on the power cable.

    For some reason the drive does not appear in my computer. I double checked connections and seem not to be tight. I installed WD Data Lifeguard (supplied with the HD) and he can't seem to mfind player either.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    In fact, I solved the situation by updating the BIOS on the HP support site. I've updated everything I could - firmware and everything - wheile I was there, and then the disc was recognized. Problem solved! Thanks for the suggestions.

  • detection of a hard drive internal

    my main HDD failed last week, and I had to replace

    any ideas on how I can find it and add to my card reader to computer

    Hello

    Maybe you could do it again - to watch in the CONFIGURATION of your laptop. And see if you could see 2nd HARD drive here.

    Enter to the CONFIGURATION you need to do this:

    The system configuration screen display

    (1) turn on (or restart) your computer.

    (2) when the DELL logo appears, press F2> immediately.

    If you wait too long and the Microsoft Windows logo appears, continue to

    Wait until you see the Windows desktop, then shut down your computer

    and try again.

    This information comes from the documentation - Manual (PDF) - download here (page 170):

    http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/systems/xpsM1530/en/index.htm

    However, as I was reading a manual, so I see nothing on the 2nd HARD drive - (page 131 - adding and replacing parts / hard drive).

    So I second bubble - perhaps there is only one physical HARD disk in your laptop, which was divided into two logical parts (C and D)?

    I think all our questions will be answered by Dell and I would like to know the outcome of the appeal.

  • Dell Inspiron 560 install a second hard drive

    I am wanting to know if it is possible to run both hard drives in this computer to the max storage?

    Derplax

    Yes, the Inspiron 560 MT supports two 3.5 "SATA internal hard drives.

    Dell has not released written instructions for adding an additional SATA hard drive in the 560 MT

    But as the Tower of 530 Dell Mini has the same chassis, the same procedures can be used.

    Instructions for the installation of a second hard drive physically here are:

    http://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/Inspiron-530_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.PDF

    After you install the second hard drive, enter the BIOS Setup] and ensure that the drive is enabled [on].

    Then partition, format the hard drive and it assigned a drive letter by using disk management.
