• Envy 17 t n100: help adding 2nd drive 256 GB SATA SSD (TLC) m2

  Hi all

  I'm a noob advanced and need some advice and assistance, I just bought an n-100 Envy 17 t. Lack of resources, I don't have the 2nd drive 256Go M.2 SATA SSD (TLC) or pull the memory up to 16 GB max. Memory should be 1 stick of 8 Go DDR3L-1600 to max the16GB?

  Here are my specs.

  Put simply, assuming you want to migrate to Windows from the HARD drive of 1 TB to a 256 GB SSD, there is no simple way to do it.

  The best way to do it, as I've done several times, is to use a third party called Macrium Reflect application.  It's free and will lets you clone (1) a drive - make an exact copy of a disc on another and (2) image/restore disks - a copy of a disc and then copy on a second disc.

  If you can climb both drives at the same time, then (1) is the way to go.  Otherwise, to do (2), you must clone the drive to an external drive, plug the new external drive and then 'restore' from the hard drive to the new drive.

  When the first doping, select the option "Backup--> Image disks selected" to clone the current drive to the new drive.

  When you do the second, select "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key

  The PROBLEM you have is that a partition of 1 TB is wrong simply to fit on a disk of 250 GB - if you have work to do.  You should run Disk Manager to narrow down the OS partition to be used in total less than 250 GB of disk space.

  You can run the Windows disk management by following the steps below:

  (1) Control Panel to type in the search box

  2) click on Control Panel

  3) click on Administrative Tools

  4) click on disk management

  Once there, you will see the list of partitions.  Select the one which contains the OS (or great) and see how you can reduce it.  On the 1 TB drive, you will have to drop below 200 GB - to be sure.

  The PC will then probably need to reboot to make the changes.

  Once you have restarted in Win10, install Macrium Reflect - and follow the instructions I left above.

  Once the migration is completed, stop your PC, replace the SSD HARD drive and reboot.

  If all goes well, you should start in Win10 without any problem.

  Good luck

• Adding 2nd drive for Time Machine

  I have an IMac with a 3 TB drive and a 4 TB laCie drive Thunderbolt used for Time Machine. I get the message that the Time Machine disk is full. I can daisy chain a second LaCie and recognized it as an add-on to Disk Time Machine?

  Not unless your create a JBOD RAID array. You can * another player and change Time Machine backup on this drive. If the player has not been used for a backup Time Machine, then Time Machine will start a new backup.

  Note that you have to create the JBOD or RAID Stripe it would remove all files on both drives before you create the table. Thus, when selected for the drive Time Machine you will be a new backup.

  About alert TM "Backup Drive is full"

  TM only deletes older files if they have been removed from the source and when TM needs space on the backup to a new incremental backup drive. Time Machine "Jules Destrooper" its backups. over 24 hours, old backups, except the first of the day; These "dailies", old more 30-day backups, except the first day of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there is room.

  So, how long a backup rest file depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming that you do at least one backup per day. If she was there for less than 24 hours, it will be maintained for at least a month. If she was there at least a week, it will be maintained as long as there is room.

  Note that, on a Time Capsule, the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but not descended. View of the user of the TC so it seems that no space was released, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.

  Once TM has found that it cannot free enough space for new backup it reports the disk is full. You can erase the backup disk and start your backup or replace the disc with a larger drive.

• HPE-0140f: problem adding 2nd drive to HPE - 140f HGST Ultrastar

  Manager computer Windows returns the new disk as DISK 1 GB unallocated 746,39.

  searched and it seems to be installed on the right and using the TPG, but actual size not returned.

  I uninstalled the drive and rebooted to wind upward in the same place.

  The drive is seen in the device to the Panel Manager control as hitachi HUA723030ala640.

  Before buying, I checked around and all indications are that this Windows 7 64-bit machine would be able to manage it.

  HGST own version of software cannot run.  Error message returned States NO HGST HIGH CAPACITY DISK FOUND.

  Now what?

  I fell on the HP site, first thought more knowledgable folk here respect and can suggest next steps.

  You will appreciate your kind advice on how to proceed.

  Thank you.

  Last follow-up message.

  It seems that this question, although that perhaps not common, has affected some other installation HDs with a size greater than 2.2 to.  Other computing platforms and other brands of HD and sizes.  I found some interesting positions and alternatives proposed by using search terms such as "746.39" "do not recognize 3 TB.

  The following was the solution for my problems...

  The commonality between all the reported problems even outside this forum was Windows 7 (64-bit).  It seems that most users had previously installed on a machine that has never had a large at 2.2 to Windows 7 HD.  This is the default century-old installation of Windows 7... pre days of great ability.  There is no upgrade of the driver available for this problem.

  In research, I went to intel. I downloaded the Intel Driver Update utility to determine if anything could use and upgrade.  It seems that there is an upgrade.  I also downloaded the Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology package and I believe THAT to be the reason why I now see and using the disc of 3 TB of capacity.

  Technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology package has been designed to see storage.  Thus, it has been designed to see large capacity disks.  When installed, it installed the components to do this work.  When he ran, he saw my 3 TB drive and I could concentrate on this drive to return specific data by car.

  Windows 7 is stuck on all the original information.  Even the BIOS reported only 801 GB of capacity for the reader.

  After that installation and updates, I'm cold rebooted several times with nothing changed.  I restarted the Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology package.  Again, she has seen my drive.  I clicked to focus on the disk... and got the dreaded BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH.  so, there WAS an insufficient somewhere.

  I rebooted in safe mode and then restarted again normally.  From there I launched in the Windows computer management and disk management, only to find... the card reader was RIGHT!  I formatted immediately and haved noted no problem these days.  The drive is quiet and fast.

  In my view, that a former microsoft file has been updated in storage technology Intel Rapid package install and it should somehow be re-registered.

  I'm done with this problem.

• Adding 2nd drive SATA SSD touch 23 "Pavilion

  I haven't looked inside again, but is it possible to ADD internal or external items a SATA SSD?  I see 500 gb for $180!

  Hello

  No, due to its space it's why we call it all-in-One. If you want an external SSD, you can buy a USB 3.0 enclosure and put the SSD inside. It will just act like an external HARD drive but more fast.

  Kind regards.

• best practices for adding 2nd drive Windows VMS on SAN

  If I have a VM on an Equallogic SAN and want to add a second drive letter I will add it as a second file VMDK for this virtual machine, or I should have the BONES of the VM (Windows 2003) use the built in iSCSI initiator to turn up the volume on the SAN?  What are the advantages and disadvantages of these methods... or am I totally wrong in how I think these work

  Thank you

  With the help of a second disk vmdk will give you much better performance because iSCSI has a much higher latency and adds a layer of complexity that is not necessary.  More then send iSCSI traffic on your network that add overhead.  I strongly suggest you simply add a new vmdk.

• 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.

• Explain "Single disk Mode" + added new drive?

  I already read all other potentially relevant posts on this site * (at least, I think I have)

  I have a NMH300 existing with a single WD 1 TB drive installed and configured for RAID Linear1.

  My apologies for asking a question that may be an answer, but after a search on the forums for discussion and review all of the materials user guide I have a few basic questions.

  Is it possible to operate in mode 'disk' with two drives installed? Seems like a stupid question, based on the evidence of the "single drive mode", but it was not clear to me. I would avoid Linear2 RAID b/c I don't want a single drive failure to the ruin of all data in both drives and I want the ability, so I don't want RAID1.

  I think I understand that if I return to linear1 single drive mode and then all of the data are deleted. Fix?

  It would really just be easier to add the 2nd drive and do run in linear2 and avoid all the hassle of a migration and re - build?

  One last question. If I add the 2nd drive and configure it in linear2, the NMH is supposed to keep my existing data on the existing drive and just "add" ability. Fix? (I know that I should come back first, but just ask to make 100%, I understand the specific details)

  Thank you.

  /ctizzle

  Hi ctizzle,

  So that all of these modes don't you will not confuse I recommend that you check this link. Since I have my music and videos backed up to another drive and I use my nmh primarily as a media server, I put mine up like linear2. If you decide to increase your total disk space by adding another hard drive and set up the linear nmh 2 mode as well then I suggest you take a look at this guide.

  Also, choose your hard drives in the tested hardware list.

  I hope this helps!

  Are Dell DVD (driver installers) Dimension E520! Not authentic?

  David Brown snr,

  Dell uses Dell OEM operating system disks.

  When you installed Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit) have you installed the utility of desktop / laptop and drivers from the chipset first? If this is not the case, the rest of the drivers will not install. How to download and install drivers in the correct order If you can't find the drivers for Windows 7, then try to use Vista (or XP), 32-bit drivers for Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit Vista (or XP) drivers for Windows 7 64 bit and install the drivers in compatibility mode.

• Mounting NFS in a VM vs adding a drive in a NFS data store

  Let's say I have an NFS server to provide storage to a VMware Server

  farm.

  And I just need to put a file on the NFS to a VM server available.

  How can I better performnace.. ?

  (1) Just directly editing this file NFS in the Virtual Machine (using the NFS OS client)

  or

  (2) adding a drive in the Virtual Machine (using a NFS store - mapped on this dossier in the NFS server)

  M.A.

  If you want to use the functionality of VMware snapshot, certainly NFS datastore is your best bet but I think that performance wise, by storing files directly by the NFS client without needing more TCP or i/o load for the virtual disk can give you better performance.

  Management & recovery wise, live sharing the NFS server can make your life very easy for other machines can read or access the files inside without problem but don't forget, sometimes it also can give you headache. While for vmdk, you need tool to access the files inside.

  Just my 2 cents

• 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.

• Satellite P500-12D adding 2nd HARD drive

  Toshiba UK say it is not possible to install a second drive in a P500-12D.
  The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
  I was also told that the second drive Bay could not be used "on the model" but the sata connection is there and inserts brass threaded in the case of the scree of the carrier are present.

  The Bay is deeper than 1 Bay (for the thicker > 500 GB drives and, therefore, the support unit for the 1st Bay can be used - entire centres are also different.)

  Ideas for a work around?

  Sorry for the spelling mistakes - my original message would not be accepted "your message contains profanity or inappropriate language.
  In the interest of your fellow forum users, we ask you to change your message.
  "but no indication as to where." Maybe it's that the things happening in the threaded inserts are not allowed

  Peter K

  > The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
  The reason is that there are different configurations of P500
  The P500 and other series of Toshiba laptops are equipped with different motherboards.
  Not all motherboards support 2 HARD drive controllers.

  This can be a bit confusing for someone buying a laptop and see the second HARD drive Bay, but if you would remove the 2nd HARD drive Bay cover, then you will see that there is no HARD drive connector.
  This means that you will not be able to use the second HARD drive.
