Adding a 3rd hard drive to my system

• 750-103D want: I want to install a 3rd HARD drive but the system will not start

  Desktop motherboard has 5 heads SATA (of which 2 were used for the first DvD and HARD disk in the original Setup) and the box has 3 bays for HARD drive, but there is no additional power from the PSU cable.

  I installed a new SSD as my main and designated record the 1 TB of HARD drive that came with the desktop as my secondary school and office works just great.

  Now I tried to install an another 1.5 TB HARD drive for storage. I used a SATA power cable Y (1 male to 2 females) to extend the existing cable. However, to my great disappointment, the system is unable to start up. I guess that supply POWER 300 watts current is insufficient to start 3 disks to a single supply with extension cable.

  Issues related to the:

  1] sells HP a 500-watt power supply with power cable for SATA 3 HARD drive?

  [2] is a compatible power supply on the market (ie. not HP) who can stand in 750-103D envy? Brand/model and how much?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Probably, you have misunderstood my response.  Unplug the original HD boot drive.

  Your question is not the power supply lack of insufficient power.  I have observed remains with HP computers with a power supply that would support three HDs off a 300 Watt SATA power cable voltage.

  Perhaps the third HD is formatted incorrectly or is defective.  The other possibility is that your SATA Y cable connection is defective.  You also need good 5V and 12V.  In addition, if you have made any hardware changes to your PC you have not indicated, then it is possible that you may need a bigger power supply.

• Adding a 3rd HARD drive to my Pavilion elite m9150f

  I have a Pavilion Elite m9150f with a motherboard Asus IPIBL-LB. I have 6 sata ports, but only 4 are currently used. It has Vista Home Premium 32-bit running 2 HARD sata drive seagate 360 with a partion recovery and 2 CD/DVD players. I would add a Seagate 2 TB sata as main drive (C) both a bigger partion (posibly update of OS in the future) 20 to 25 GB for recovery (D) copied to starting from the origanal and reformat it as a temp for videos, etc. I can do this by moving the SATAS after the cloneing and move the optical drives and see MOBO them without having to make all kinds of changes to the BIOS. Thanks for any advice in doing so.

  Hello

  If you have already two drives hard and two optical drives, then you will have a hard time to find a place inside the PC to secure the third hard disk.

  You could try to use a 5.25 "to 3.5 adapter railsand then fix them and the hard drive down inside the PC. Another option would be to expand the two ports of the vacant motherboard to the I/O back plateand use a drive external eSATA dockthat could accommodate two hard disks that are either 2.5 "or 3.5" or a combination. That would give you great flexibility for the exchange of different hard drives while appearing that they are installed in their own country.

  You should be able to use a hard drive imaging product to the new hard drive the current boot drive. If you use VISTA then I would avoid using a disc hard format model advanced unless you know for sure that the disc produced Imaging align correctly partitions. In any case, if you use VISTA then upgrade to service pack 2 and run this update Intel utility before you install the new hard drive. Utility update driver Intel Intel Driver Update Utility level Bios 5.43is the latest bios for your PC.

  I use Paragon Hard Disk Manager Suite(eval copy) to make the imagery of my hard drive, but there are other products available. Macrium Reflectand Acronis are also good products.

• HPEh8 - 1360t Desktop - 3rd hard drive

  Can I install a 3rd hard drive of my computer desk HPEh8 - 1360t? You have two drives hard and two DVD players. Only 4 connections data cable to the motherboard - see all 4 currently used.  Is it possible to 'double-up' on a data cable connection? Have a connection of additional power.

  From the motherboard page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03132942

  I found there are actually 6 SATA ports.  There are two in the face of what I would call back (labeled SATA4 and SATA5)

• Adding a new hard drive on e9180t

  Hi, I have e9180t and I'm considering adding a new hard drive.

  Can my office manage 3 to/6.0 GB/s 64 MB Cache SATA internal hard drive?  I get my full performance out of it?

  I read the possible combinations (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01817977 specification page

  Is there a limit to the capacity of the hard drive?  (up to 2 TB)?

  Can handle a 6.0 GB/s transfer rate?

  I currently have 2 hard drives in the following:

  1 TB - Barracuda (st31000528as) 7200 RPM 32 MB SATA 3.0 GB / s
  500 GB - Maxtor DiamondMax 21 (STM3500630AS) 7200 RPM 16 MB SATA 3.0 GB/s

  If I buy 3 to/6.0 GB/s hard drive and use it as a hard drive, will I use these two hard drives as a secondary hard drives?

  Thank you!

  For those who might be interestd, this is what I found after some digging and calling:

  Since the motherboard that comes with e9180t (ipmtb-tk) is SATA 2, its speed is limited to 3.0 GB/s.   When 6.0 GB/s hard drive is connected, the speed will slow down to 3.0 GB/s.

  You can only use the full 3 TB capabity if your motherboard bios has opportunity to support UEFI interface.  However, most of the motherboards built before 2011 doesn't have this option.  ipmtb-tk is one of them.  However, there is a work around.

  1. go in the bios and check that the interface is set to AHCI (non-RAID).

  2. when the disk partition is loaded, you will be able only to the 2 TB partition.  another partition 750Go seems a separate partition that you cannot change.  Partition the 2 TB the way you want to and install Windows 7 on it.

  3. after that excavation is done, download Seagate Disk Wizard.  Later one of their homepage did not work, however.  You must download this one:

  http://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/support/downloads/discwizard/DiscWizardSetup-14382.en.exe
  

  I don't know why they don't have this default link on their home page when you go to download DiscWizard.

  Once the wizard disk is installed, it will pick up the 750Go that you weren't able to before partition as a new drive and now will allow you to partition.   (Keep the MBR instead of TPG setting, format it to NTFS)

  Once you partition using the tool, Viola!  a new drive with 750 GB of space has been added as a new drive.

• 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.

• Adding 3rd hard drive for HP Pavilion Elite m9250f

  I have a Pavilion Elite m9250f running Windows Vista Home 64 bit. The computer currently has two 500 GB hard drives for a total capacity of 1 TB. I would like to add a third drive to increase storage capacity.  I have a SATA to 2 to and cables. When I tried to install the new drive above the two existing disks, he did not slide smoothly. When I removed the already highest reader, I could slide the new drive into but the screws are not line up properly with the new drive. This leads me to believe that I can not install a third drive in the Bay. Is this a correct assumption?

  I have an available expansion Bay below the optical drive but am not sure that it is usable for a hard drive. If the use of the expansion Bay is possible, do I have to buy a hook or how to mount the drive in this space?

  If necessary, I can copy the data from the secondary drive on an external drive and replace it with the new drive. However, I need confirmation that the secondary is the player in the foreground of both in the hard disc enclosure.

  Thank you for your help.

  If the task under the existing optical Bay is open, just use an adapter to fill the space and to mount the drive in there.  Make sure of course that there is a power cord and a SATA port.

• HP Pavilion 510n - adding the Second hard drive?

  A few questions...

  1. is there a size limit for any player second, I would like to add?

  2. What is the procedure for adding the second disc?

  -J' added a second drive to an OLD pc before and it involved linking the second slot on an IDE cable, change the jumper on the slave drive settings, and modify the bios settings... it would be similar?

  Hello TSobiech, it is always best to ask to order a part that is not compatible with a certain system.

  The hard disk that you show the link should work perfectly. Even if it's an ATA100, and your system supports ATA33/66, this disc should still work but will be downclocked to ATA66 speed.

  Here is another link to a 250 GB IDE HDD if you might be interested.

  You won't notice much, if any, degradation in performance to the difference in speed. These IDE drives are higher than the price a SATA with the same capacity, but they are becoming harder to find.

  Since you want to be using as operating in car system, but just a backup drive, they want to make a difference.

  If you want to make use of the full speed of ATA100, you could add a map of IDE controller supporting ATA100, but I really don't think it would.

  Since you mentioned the intermediate layer of IDE as not being used, you can connect the new drive to this connector.

  Now, there are a few things that you should check that you install the new hard drive. These are the connectors of jumper on hard drives.

  This is the very small plastic with metal inserts, at the end of the hard drive where are the other connectors.

  I always use the CSEL (CS) on two hard drives. Readers may already have jumpers to this setting (jumpers connection), but if not, you must set two hard drives the selection of cables (CS).

  Since the current IDE hard drive is the boot hard drive and an ATA66, it must be connected to thin ribbon cable connector, as it is now, and the new hard drive attached to the middle connector IDE. The slowest speed of the two hard drives will result in two hard drives running at the slower of the two speeds. It will work very well.

  You need to partition and format the new hard disk before it can be used. This can be done from Windows if necessary.

  I hope this helps.

• El Capitan loaded on my external hard drive disturbed my system preferences Maverick on my drive internal

  I currently use the most recent version of Maverick from an internal hard drive on my iMac. I needed to download the demo of Final Cut Pro X or under of El Capitan Yosemite and due to a limitation of version of FCPX. As I had an another Maverick boot on an external drive, I've decided to upgrade this drive to El Capitan. A few hours after the installation was successful, and I was able to download the trial of FCPX. So I planted my system and restarted with my boot Maverick my internal drive. So far so good, however, to my surprise, I can't the system preferences window because it gives me the following message appears "Unable to open the preferences system because of a problem.". Similarly, I get the same message when I load a DVD and the DVD player will automatically load.

  I need to go to my applications and open the program individual (Preferences system and DVD player to do what I want to accomplish.

  I restored tOSX recovery Mignot, but nothing has changed. I believe that El Capitan installation on another drive has created conflicts.

  I also discovered that my backup should be completely redone (i.e. backup lull in my go 530)... beautiful!

  Someone has a similar problem?

  If I can't solve this problem, I have to install El Capitan on my internal drive and maybe the problem will be solved.

  I would eject the external hard drive with the installation of El Capitan and see if it helps.

  FWIW, I have never known or seen reported when an installation on an external drive also changed the preferences on the internal drive.

  I suggest that you eliminate problems in your user folder by checking in the comments or in a new user.

  CREATE A NEW USER

  Go to system-> Preferences, create a new user in users and groups.

  Place in the new user by logging in under the Apple in the menu bar.

  Log in to the new user.

  You can ignore connect them with one identifier Apple. Hit continue and then jump.

  Only applications Apple will be on the dock.

  Go to Applications to open other applications.

  You still see the issue?

  If Yes, then the problem is with your core files.

  If not, then the problem is in your user folder.

  You have the time Machine and internal backups of your disk clone?

• Hard drive to new system transfer

  I just bought a HP Envy 700-074. I liked all the specs on this machine, including the extra hard drive Bay.

  I want to transfer a disk 1 TB of data from my old Dell running Windows 7 x 64 to the new system. Y at - there will be problems, or the HP will pick up the drive right?

  TIA

  Clay

  Hi clay,

  It all depends on as they say.

  If the hard drive is SATA and was not in a RAID or used with bitlocker, then you should be OK for using the drive as a hard drive only data.  There may be exceptions because some SATA I hard drives might not work on a port SATA III. In this case, an external USB box could make the drive usable.
