• 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.

• upgrade the hard drive on hp pavilion dv3500 series

  IAM using HP Pavilion DV3510nr, I want to spend my 1 TB HDD 2.5 "5400 RPM SATA Toshiba, is this possible?

  All responses will be appreciated. Thank you.

  SATA I (1.5 Gb/s) and SATA II (3 Gb/s) are backward compatible for the SATA standard. This means between the hard drive and chip set (motherboard) the transfer rate will be slower both SATA interface.

  Support of repair of hard drives of 500 GB from factory documents, but this does not mean that a 1 TB drive does not work. In my view, that a 1 TB drive will work. My biggest concern is the thickness of the hard drive. Will a 12.5 mm thick disc enters the DV3500 and slipped into the connector. I'm not sure. you'd be better of check you the current thickness of HARD drive and getting a hard drive 9.5 mm.

  Toshiba MQ01ABD100

  1 TB 5400 RPM 9.5 mm x 2.5 inches

  WD Scorpio Blue WD10JPVT

  1 TB 5400 RPM 9.5 mm x 2.5 inches

  Seagate Momentus STBD1000100

  1 TB 5400 RPM 9.5 mm x 2.5 inches

  Samsung Spinpoint M8 HN-M101MBB

  1 TB 5400 RPM 9.5 mm x 2.5 inches

  WD Scorpio Blue WD10TPVT

  1 TB 5400 RPM 2.5-inch x 12.5 mm

  It seems that you are looking to maximize the storage capacity of the Bay of your computer laptop w/1. 1 TB drive will accomplish that. For laptops 1 TB drives are 5400 RPM hard drives.

  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.

• Hard drive the HP PAVILION DV6T - 4000 NOTES

  My hard drive on HP PAVILION DV6T - 4000 NOTE failed. I need to order a replacement hard drive. Kindly let me know the best option for the same.

  Hello

  This is a technical director of the machine so very little information we can find. He uses this means you can use any standard SATA HDD SATA. If you want to buy the original size and the brand, you can order from HP, or any computer store.

  My suggestion: a WD SATA II 750 GB at 7200 RPM should work fine.

  Kind regards.

  There are many ways to format the hard drive. You did not really provide details...

  You can download the Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD) and burn it to a CD, then you can boot from the CD and use the tools of HARD drive to remove the partitions/erase the hard drive.

• I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?

  I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?  Somewhere in the 320 to 500 GB range and I want a quick unit because it will be used for rendering videos.    Thank you for your response.

  Hello

  How fast is fast is the real question.

  Have you looked at hybrid drives OCZ? Expensive but probably the fastest option.

  Seagate also made a hybrid hard drive.  Good price... You will need a 3.5 "to 2.5" support if the player does not support.  If you install the drive in an empty optical Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 2.5" support.

  Your other choice is 7 200 or 10 000 rpm traditional hard drives.

  Another option would be to add a PCI sata and two external hard dirves configured in RAID 0.

• 2nd hard drive appearing is not in my computer

  My 2nd hard drive is not appearing in my computer.  The hard drive was a slave, that I took from my old xp machine after it crashed.  I had installed in my new vista machine before and it worked, but then I had to reinstall the operating system and since then he did not appear.  I double checked to make sure, it has been defined as a slave drive and it is.  It appears in the Bios, Device Manager and in disk management, but not in my computer.  Nothing is appearing as unallocated in disk management and the player said his good health.  In the Device Manager, it says the device is working properly.  I tried to give him just a drive letter in the management of records, but when I right click on it the only option I have is help.  I also tried to update the drivers, he says that they are up-to-date.  I tried deactivation and activation of the hard drive.  I even tried to uninstall.  When I rebooted, it detects and reinstalled the drivers, but I still can't get it to appear in my computer.

  Alw179,

  so I assume you are using the new Windows 7 for this post.

  Proposal of John Doe has worked for me. This is how do you a little more in detail:

  step 1: Windows 'Start menu '.

  Step 2: SPECIFY the, "disk management" in the box "search programs and files" at the botom

  step 3 find and RIGHT click on the hard drive in the list that program shows.

  step 4: select 'Change Drive Letter and paths '.

  step 5: click Add and make sure that ASSIGN it THE FOLLOWING DRIVE LETTER: bubble is selected and then use the drop-down menu to select a drive letter, do not use it.

  step 5: click OK

  step 6: complete, you should have something pop up indicates that your hard drive is available to show.

  I hope this helps.

• 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.

• Adding a new hard drive for HP Pavilion 15-E016TX

  I own a HP Pavilion laptop 15-E016TX... n I was wondering if I could add an additional hard drive...?

  it dosent matter if its ssd or the regular disk... I neeed jst little more space

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  There is no space for a second hard drive somehow "ordinary". There no second SATA slot as in the Pavilion 17 inch models or for a smaller drive of WSSD mSATA as in the Envy series. The only way to do it is to remove the optical drive (DVD burner) and install a second drive in an optical drive adapter device. Your laptop uses the slim type optical drive (9.5 mm) and this device would not work.

  https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

  See Page 47 of the manual for instructions to remove the existing DVD player. It is very easy. You can exchange your façade above so that no one could say that the laptop has been changed. I almost never use my DVD burner on my laptop, anyway. But I also never fill my hard drive. You have it fills a terrabyte? You cannot unload some of them to an external drive or the cloud?

  If you do, just put a hard drive into the adapter and plug it in. The seller, jacobsparts, also sells portable hard drives and would be happy, I don't know to send you both in a single shipment. Disclosure full jacobsparts is in my hometown and I bought some stuff from them years but have no interest in the company. They are good people, I can testify.

• Pavilion dv7 4053 cl: Pavilion dv7 4053cl adding second hard drive

  I replaced with success the stock HDD in my laptop with an SSD.

  I want to continue to use the old HDD in the laptop well, and it seems that I have a second drive Bay HARD in which HARD drive can adapt. I have not, however, see a SATA connector on the motherboard for a second HDD connection.

  There is a SATA connector to the disk HARD primary (symbols of disc 1, marked on the plastic) and there are two connectors near the RAM, which seem not to be SATA, and my optical disc drive is connected.

  Am I missing something, or is there is no place on the motherboard to connect a second HARD (well, or SSD) via SATA drive?

• Laptop won't start, added external hard drive. Pavilion g6, WIN 7

  Boot Manager Windows coming to the power upward with message: "Windows could not start...". Info: the boot selection failed because a required device is not accessible. "No previous problems with starting, but, yesterday, I hooked up a new external hard drive (WD Passport 1 TB) to back up my entire computer.  Everything went well: formatted, partitioned the drive (500 GB), but I clicked on 'active' on one of the menus.  Remember that a single partition on a hard disk can be active and in the case of the c: / drive is the default for the MBR location, but this player is also the default location for the operating system (unless otherwise designated).  I just didn't know it would be a problem if I did an active partition on another disk entirely.  I only have WIN 7 on the machine, but I guess that the BIOS is looking for the operating system on the external hard drive (it will not start if I have the HD Ext. hung or not), is not to find a MBR or a BONE.  However, before shutting down the computer yesterday, I created an image of the system disk hard Ext. as that was my intention in the first place.  Turned off the computer and it does not restart until today, whereupon no boot, error events began.

  Never mind. Finally understood how to get to the boot menu options then to get machine to start from a
  "System repair disc" I did on the first pass the machine a couple of years. I thought that the machine should boot from it then in order after that don't is not the start of HD I had designate the CD as a boot device to make it work.
