• Install the Second hard drive on the HP Pavilion DV7-4270us laptop

  My laptop has a space for a second hard drive, but not of connectors. I use Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and I would like to add a second drive in this niche. My main drive is 1 TB and I'm running out of room. I am currently using a 1 to external but it is cumbersome when you travel. What should I do to use the second drive?

• How can I put a hard drive of the laptop into a desktop computer?

  I have a HP Pavilion 5000 ZV who died some time ago, and the hard drive is always good. It's 60 GB running Windows Xp. there I got the laptop from a friend because they did not want. Also I have a desktop IBM Aptivia since 1998 and it has a huge 8 GB HDD running windows 98. I want to put the laptop drive in the desktop and take out the old one. I would buy a new hard drive, but it's Microsoft Office 2003 pro. This is the only copy I have and I did re install the product key. I need this computer for my workshop. How to operate? Is there a part I need? If Yes, where can I get a?

  If I understand correctly, you have a laptop HP Pavilion ZV 5000 which doesn't work but has a 60 GB HDD that has installed Windows XP and Office 2003 is also installed.

  You want to put the laptop hard drive in an old desk.

  You have two problems: hardware and software.

  Hardware issues can probably be solved easily (you would need something like this $10--> http://tinyurl.com/d539pwf kit - but read the comments).

  The problem of software is that you can not take an existing installation of Windows XP and completely change the hardware.  If you try, you will need to do a reinstall of Windows before it will work.

  If you have a generic OEM XP install CD, you may be able to do a repair installation (save applications - for example Office 2003), but the CD must be at a same or later version of XP (Home, Pro) and Service Pack level as the version of XP that is installed.  You must also have the product key that is associated with the OEM install CD (I think that the key to the label on the HP will fail).

  More likely, you will need to do a clean install, which will involve formatting the drive.

  If you have the Office 2003 installation CD, you can retrieve its installation key from the drive of the laptop before installing it in the office.  Probably the best way to do this is to put the laptop in a hard drive enclosure external drive, which attach to a working computer and use of Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder using his function to "Load hive".

• How can I run two disk hard of (adding a 2nd hard drive) on the flag a1020n?

• Tecra M10 - 17U use second HARD drive in the Bay of ODD

  Hello

  I try one of this popular box that allows me to put a second hard drive in the Bay optical slot, I use a Sata to Sata adapter, so there is not really an adapter and more properly connect:

  [http://www.akasa.co.uk/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&no=181&type=Enclosures&type_sub = 2.5%20Enclosure&model=AK-OA2SSA-BK]

  My problem is with the BIOS Toshiba waiting for a STRANGE device in this Sata port and cams out with a "CD" error, disable the Sata port.

  I have a workaround, if I start the PC, BIOS after with what this either in the Bay of the STRANGE, after Windows starts, I have insert the second HARD drive in the Bay of ODD, go to "Windows Device Manager" a 'check for changes on the hardware"and voila, the second HDD works fine , for me, it shows a limitation in the BIOS.

  Y at - it assistance, a Beta BIOS or something else, I have the latest BIOS 3.00 for this machine installed.

  Please check this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=39412

  It seems that Tecra M10 does not support a select bay that would allow you to use a 2nd HDD rather than the ODD.
  As far as I know select bay is compatible with the Tecra M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, S1, S2

  Hello
  I would like to know if its possible to add a second hard drive to the X 500-12 q?
  I suppose that space is available, but I would like to know whether the connector is here & all
  I could just open the case and plug it in.

  Thank you

  In the document s user manuals I have not found something on HD upgrade so I m really don't know if this will be possible.
  Anyway, as Jeka wrote, remove the HARD drive cover and check if there is place for second HARD drive and also necessary SATA connector.

  I have older 300 x and there is room for two drives.

• HP Pavilion p6-2302ea - adding a second hard drive is internal.

  Model: HP Pavilion p6-2302ea:

  Product no.: C3T77EA #ABU:

  How can I add a second internal hard drive to the chassis. There seems to be a single hard disk. I have to buy an internal drive caddy?

  If you were you, I would consider adding an SSD for a boot drive. Really, you won't need a caddy for one SSD because you can use strips to hold it in place.

  Alternatively, you can consider removing the DVD drive and buy a cart to put the new drive (spinner old HDD) sink to replace.

• Adding a second hard drive internal in a T510?

  I bought the new 510 with the internal hard disk of 500 GB 7200 RPM, and I think about adding another one with the same characteristics.

  (1) is there a place to add a second hard drive

  (2) if so, would you have a second hard drive, or run a raid?

  (3) If you want a raid you would reflect the main disk failure?

  (4) what are the disadvantages of having a second disk except weight?

  Lenovo said it would work in the notes to the mobile 500 GB internal drive here.

  "Option of 500 GB at 7200 RPM hard drive RPM ThinkPad offers large capacity, additional storage at high speed which incorporates the latest technology for the improvement of mobile productivity.

• 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.

• Second hard drive for the dv7 - 7047cl

  Can a second hard drive be added to the dv7 - 7047cl?

  (It is standard drive is a 1 TB of HARD drive).

  If so, how?

  Thank you!

  Hi Mike,.

  You are welcome

  There should be no problem with Bios recognizing the 2nd HARD drive, however it may not appear in Windows (under the Start Menu, computer) until the drive has been formatted.

  You can format the second HDD as follows.

  Hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type compmgmt.msc , and then press ENTER.  Click disk management in the left pane and let readers load upward.  Right-click on your new HARD drive and select Format to start the wizard.  Windows 7 will affect a Volume label so if your happy with it, just leave the default.  File system is NTFS.  Allocation unit size must be left by default.  Select the option to perform a quick format if it is not already done.  Leave all the other default settings, and then click Ok, and then Ok to start the process.

  Once this done, your new HARD disk should now appear when you look under the computer.

  Kind regards

• Install a Second hard drive in the host

  Hello community,

  I have a lab vShpere 5.0 at home and I would like to add a second hard drive on my server. Is also simple to install the hard drive and the host will recognize the drive or is there some pre/post system requirements before installing the HARD drive?

  Thanks in advance for your help and your advice.

  Welcome to the VMware forums communities.  Generally, the process is as simple as adding the drive and then go to Configuration > storage and clicking Add storage.
