• Satellite P300-16 t - adding a second drive HARD-success!

  I have added a second hard drive today for my Toshiba P300-16 t.

  I realized that I had a Toshiba SATA drive in a USB disk device that would spare - 250 gb.

  I improvised by removing the feet spread on the cover of the second cage to hard disk using a sharp knife. I put the Bank in place ensuring maximum safety. I also used a heat-resistant material (say what) to secure the drive up as readers are rarer than hen's teeth. I made sure that the reader also had room to breathe. The cover was then released and I turned on my computer and it found the new HDD, the installed drivers at home but hey presto! Another 250 GB to play with.

  Now, I did it is because I call four FSA in the United Kingdom but they weren't any help by providing a cage for the second disc.
  Two said they only deal with businesses and not individuals.
  Others have said that they only provide power cables and batteries!
  Hope that my Tosh never goes down and I must use their services...

  Anyway, I don't recommend anyone do what I just - it is possible if you are a bit adventurous...

  Have you used the Hotglue?

  Surely, you can get the FSA HARD drive media. Unless there is a global shortage on cradles P300: p

• Problem adding a second drive to VM after P2V using Stand Alone inverter

  Hello

  Let me preface this with anguish and you say how much of a hassle it has been from the beginning.

  We owe to P2V a server having a 25gig main drive and a 8gig of secondary disk for data. We had to move the files a long distance with the help of FTP, so offers them to us in some regions, by ensuring that all files have reached their proper destination.

  We have the files downloaded in the SAN and much to my surprise, the second disc of data showed as a *-flat.vmdk file without header hard file. I opened the browser and the virtual machine added to the inventory, but couldn't turn on with the second disc attached. I removed the second disk of the virtual machine and it has started well. But now I have a car I can access.

  I would like to convert the *-file flat.vmdk to work hard file but I'm not sure how with my limited resources. I don't have the vSphere client to work with. I downloaded the RCLI for vSphere but I have to be honest, I'm not very good with scripts.

  I tried following this tutorial: http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1002511

  But the notes are asking me to use the console, which I do not have access with 4 ESXi and vSphere Client.

  Attached is the original .vmx file that was created during the P2V

  You will also find a screeshot of the files I work with that

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Welcome to the communities.

  You can run through to revive the P2V conversion and just select the second drive. It's probably the easiest get right.

• HP Envy TouchSmart, m7 j-000dx: adding a second drive

  I want to add a second drive of my laptop HP Envy TouchSmart (17.3 ") since I was a lot of data on my current SSD.

  My question is that the computer will support the SSD and SSHD readers?

  Are there restrictions on the size of the disk (to 1, 2-4).

  I had my HP Envy since 7/2013 and am currently using Windows 10 (64-bit).   I've updated RAM 16 MB (max for this phone).  The material is otherwise original.

  It has been frustrating to look for information, if I can do it at all and, if so, what can I use for this second disc.  Thank you.

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  The laptop is essentially identical to the series of 17 t-j000xx want so that they share a textbook. I used to own a model 17 t - j029nr that would be about the same as yours. The laptop has 2 size hard disk bays 2.5 inches and there is a slot on the motherboard for a reader to the WSSD mSATA.

  The company that made the video, www.newmodeus.com also sells hardware, you need to add a second drive.

  I bought one of these and used to install a second hard drive in mine. It may be a mechanical drive an SSHD or a 2.5 inch SATA SSD. It can be of 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick and is limited in size only by what you can find on the market. I think that 2 TB is still the larger disk of 2.5 inch 9.5 mm there.

  The only complication is going to be if you do not have an mSATA 32 gig drive in the computer as it should be removed if you are running an SSD. Looks like you don't have a disc mSATA. Post back with more questions about it he gets the kind of technique and not need to go if this is not a problem for you.

• Adding a second drive to my Optiplex 755

  I bought an Optiplex 755 renovated a few months back that came with a floppy (really?). I decided to add a second drive, so I removed the disk and put a Seagate 750 GB drive in its place. I entered the program installation and active the drive, rebooted, went back into the Setup program to verify that the disc was recognized that it was. BUT now, whenever I restart the machine, I have the black screen with the following text:

  Replacing the HARD drive is not valid, continued use can lead to long-term reliability problems HDD please press that F1 in you want to continue.

  It also gives me the choice to press F1 to continue, F2 to enter setup or on F5 to run tests.

  I press F1 and it starts normally.

  My question is how or what I do to eliminate this black screen? Because if I restart and let the system is here and waiting forever.

  Thanks for your help.

  The DT, SFF, USFF systems REQUIRE specific Western Digital or SAMSUNG drive model. Replacing the HARD drive is not valid is specific to 745 and 755 SFF and ULTRA-COMPACT systems.

  The DT, SFF, USFF models will have a thermal message.  The model of the Tower does not care the drive Type.  This is due to "thermal considerations.

  

  Desktop Dell 755 is configured to reject anything but a hard drive Western Digital or Samsung, claiming that it is due to "thermal considerations.  This is for Desktop and SFF and ULTRA-COMPACT models.

• 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.

• Can I add a second drive to an edition four dv7t-7000?

  The HP parts store said on a drive has been supported, but configuration options have shown

  several configuration with two drives.

  I had hoped that I could add a caddy and power/bus connector from the parts store.

  Only, I have configured the machine with a drive and add a second drive (from my dv7 dead 3085 dx).

  The machine is supposed to arrive June 18

  Thanks for the ideas...

  The answer is a qualified Yes.

  The kit suitable for the dv7t-7000 is ' 681976-001.  This kit comes with the

  Caddy and a power/bus short and long cable. It also has some screws

  It contains also the 2 screws M2.5xL4 which will be attached the main drive caddy to the

  the computer chassis, but there is no screws to attach the second drive caddy to

• HP Envy 17 K2Z68AV: Adding a second hard drive for HP Envy 17 K2000 Series notebook PC

  So, I have been looking around for more information on adding a second HDD/SDD in my model of laptop computer on the web, but can't find anything on my specific model. Many places say K-series laptops have only one hard drive Bay, and that you use a hard drive caddy optical Bay. Moreover, I found videos of very similar models being dismantled, which seem to have only room for 1 hard drive. However, I was told to support twitter HP want all 17 have 2 hard drive slots. Can I get a confirmation, just to be sure?

  Hey @MrMdr,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!
  
  I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your Notebook HP ENVY - 17 t - k200 CTO, model #K2Z68AV and concerns with the second span. Looking to 256 GB SATA m2 (MLC) that could be used for storage only. It is a hard drive, but it fits differently than the main hard drive. Hereis a link to your manual page 2 which shows the specifications.

  It shows you how to install this on page 68 of the manual.

  Please let me know how it goes.

• Adding second drive of DVD to H8-1234.

  The H8-1234 has an open slot and a power connector of alternatives for adding a second DVD player.  However, the existing SATA cable has only one connector. HP offers a cable two connector? Can I use a SATA cable two connectors "generic"?  Finally, the H8-1234 will work with a second DVD disc?  Thank you.

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion HPE h8-1234. According to specifications, your system has six (6) SATA connectors on the motherboard. Unlike the IDE/PATA, SATA supports only one device per cable. Install another CD/DVD/BluRay drive will require you to buy another SATA data cable to make it work. And YES, the computer will function normally with a second optical drive installed.

• 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.

• What cable do need me to a second hard drive on the DV7 - 4104ca. The caddy kit is the wrong cable

  I bought the hard drive enclosure kit (605415-001) to install a second hard drive on my DV7 - 4104ca. The cable supplied with the kit is the same on the main hard drive, but the motherboard has only 1 conntector to cable companies. There is another free connector on the card that uses the same cable that the internal hard drive, but assistance phone HP has no idea what I'm talking about.

  Does anyone know which cable (part number) I need?

  Or even what it is that the type of connector called and then I can source my own cable.

  Thank you!

  You are the very welcome.

  It will be.

• 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.
