Model: 17-e117dx

Thank you

Not in the way you probably do. Here is the Service Manual:

Manual

See Page 50. Unlike the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv7, Pavilion 17 has that a single hard drive Bay. The only way to add a second hard drive is to remove the DVD (optical drive) and insert a DVD to the hard drive bay adapter. The manual shows how to remove the DVD player and you can buy the adapter at amazon.com or jacobsparts.com. Note that this is a 9.5 mm thick disc, not a 12.7 mm. Both types are available. I do not recommend the adapter DVD player solution because you lose the use of the optical drive, and also because the interface of optical drive is usually not as fast as the main hard drive interface. Always fast enough for simple storage and you can run a video of her, but you do not want to edit the video of this disc, for example.

If you decide to go the route of adapter DVD I would buy a large capacity 5400 RPM SATA 2.5 inches wide and drive hard thickness 9.5 mm. No sense in buying a reader more expensive high-performance.

  • Re: How can I add a second internal hard drive to a Satellite Pro P200?

    I have a Satellite Pro P200 with a single internal hard drive. There is a second Bay in the computer of another internal hard drive, but I couldn't find any information about it. There is enough space for a 2.5 "SATA but I do not see a connector.

    I contacted Toshiba Dutch customer service who said that it was official policy not to provide any information on a second internal drive. They also said that they would not provide parts to make it possible.

    Can anyone provide more information?

    Hello!

    I think that if there is no connector you cannot add a second HDD.
    It of Nice to have a second Bay, but it's nothing without a connector.

    Good bye

  • Upgrade Vista to Windows 7, files using the second internal hard drive and Windows Easy Transfer.

    I have a desktop pc with 2 internal hard drives.  A hard drive has the BONE and the second hard disk is a separate partition.  (I do not combine hard drives using RAID.)  If I upgrade Vista to Windows 7, the upgrade will be to reformat hard disks or just a hard drive with the operating system?  Should I remove the second hard disk of the computer just to be sure?  The second hard drive must be reformatted for use with Windows 7?

    Thank you.

    You must install the upgrade in the Vista operating system.

  • Satellite Pro P200 - 1KE Vista loses contact with the second internal HARD drive

    Vista Business SP2. I have a Satellite Pro P200-1KE, with two 160 GB drives: a Hitachi configured as C: (operating system, programs, etc.) and E: (data, other programs). The second is a Toshiba MK1637GSX. This little about it and nothing of any importance and is normally configured as d. Unfortunately this hard drive has now become invisible to Vista, although it is still recognized by BIOS and Device Manager. In managing computer does not appear in the list in the upper pane, it comes without a letter from reader below. I have tried everything I know to get recognized, including the following:
    (In no particular order):

    * Remove computer - managed, reset as a single Volume: it always fails
    * Reformat to NTFS using Linux GParted or utility disk Linux (via a USB stick with Linux ice Peppermint on that nerd), sometimes combined with the restoration of the system - it works, but only for a single session. She always disappears again when you restart
    * Remove the driver from Device Manager and pointing plug-and-play with Windows System 32 and Windows Update - which seems to return the driver - but does not recognized disk, unfortunately
    * Meanwhile, throughout all this, Vista insists on finding a driver for "unknown device" that she sometimes found and (allegedly) installs and sometimes find one fails to install.

    Bah!

    Anyone know anything else I can try - preferably without having to reinstall the entire operating system, or run the risk of using Toshiba Hardware Setup that does not seem to come with all the instructions and enigmatic, who wonder if I want to delete stuff 'selected', without showing me what kind of things I am alleged to have selected for removal!

    If this second HDD is not so important to try to start the original installation disk Microsoft (Vista or Win7) to see if the second HDD will be recognized for the installation procedure.
    You can also try to install Win7 on this second HDD to see if the installation is correctly finalized. Later, you can check if you can start the second HARD drive preinstalled OS.

    Test just to see if this problem is related to Vista only.

  • New installation of Windows 7 will not identify the second internal hard drive

    Attempted recently to upgrade a computer running the SP3 of XP to Windows 7.  Bought the new FULL version of 7.
    Have two 1 t Seagate Barracuda SATA drives on board; Operating system in partition 1 of disk C:. second disc to store data only.

    Several unsuccessful attempts to install 7, but with helpful suggestions, others on this forum, (i.e., update of the BIOS, re-formatting drive C to do a clean install, etc.) finally managed to a successful installation.

    All right, except that it does not find my second hard drive.  I have the disks attached ports SATA 1 & 2, but the system reads them so much as the C: drive.  The second disc appears in the BIOS Setup and Explorer as just the C: drive.

    Tried to change the SATA port for second drive to 3 and 4 with the same result.  It always appears as the C: drive.

    How can I get the systΦme can recognize the drive, so it can be assigned to a drive letter and I can access?  I suspect that the reformatting of the first disc for installation probably erased some boot sector/configuration info.

    A side issue: before attempting to upgrade to XP, I backed up my "Documents and Settings" on an external drive.  Now that XP is passed to the computer, can I continue to use Windows Easy Transfer to retrieve all my settings and info from the program, or who's going to screw me up?

    Check if the hard drive is assigned to a drive letter in disk management.

    Click Start, right click on computer

    Click on management of

    Expand disk management

    Select your external hard drive if its posted here

    Make a right click paths and change drive letter

    Restart your computer, open the computer in the start menu and see if it shows then.

  • AG3-605-UR1C supports a second internal hard drive?

    I would add a second internal hard drive of my AG3-605-UR1C. Is this possible?

    If it's important, the player that I'm considering is Seagate Desktop HDDSATA.

    Thanks in advance for the answer.

    your PC has 4 SATA ports on the motherboard, so if you have 1 HDD and 1DVD, you have 2 spare SATA ports to be used, and there is too much room on the chassis.

    You must open the Windows disk management console, then format the drive for use in the system.  You can find more information on this process here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-format-hard-disk-partition#create-format-hard-disk-partition=windows-7

  • HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

    Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

    You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

    Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

  • Desktop P7-1039: can I add an extra internal hard drive?

    I would like to install an extra internal hard drive on my desktop HP-P7-1039. I can't find anywhere in the literature if there is an available for an extra drive Bay. If it is available, can this disc type and size I install?

    Thank you

    CErepair guide, it seems that there is place in the hard drive to another hard drive cage.  The existing hard drive is 1.5 to, but a slow hard disk standards.  Not to exceed 2 TB Windows has problems with the disks.  So look for a disk 3,5 '' SATA, 2 TB or less from a manufacturer of your taste.

  • Buy the new internal hard drive

    I have HP Pavilion dv4-1242TX

    Recently, my original 320 GB (Western Digital Scorpio Blue - WD3200BPVT) internal hard drive crashed and become inadmissible.

    So now I want to buy a new 500 GB internal hard drive, but I'm confused if my laptop it will support or not.

    Internal hard drive WD Blue 500 GB laptop computer (WD5000BPVT / WD5000LPVX)

    MAIN FEATURES

    Other than the size, I see no difference between the two discs.  Just having the Recovery DVD set available and install the new drive, run the set of recovery and off you go.  If the old drive is toast, there's nothing else to do than to run the updates from Microsoft.

    Or install Windows 7, commercial version of your choice.

  • HP dv6 envy: want to know on the best internal hard drive to replace it with

    Hi friends... I return my hp dv6 want 3 years and it has worked well for me so far, but since last month, everytime I turn on my laptop, a message is popping indicating that YOUR HARD DISK has FOUND YEAR IMMINENT FAILURE AND there NEED TO BE REPLACED and I studied a lot of posts here regarding this problem and everyone was asked to replace it with a new one. I don't know what drive should I replace it with. Could someone please help me in this regard. I need the following details:

    1. where can I find new internal hard drive HP ENVY DV6 1 to buy?

    2. can we replace this hard drive with the hard drive to other companies? (such as seaggate)... If so, so, please let me know

    3. can I replace the hard drive with a hard drive of 1 to solid state?

    4. links to vendors who sell internal hard drive?

    Please help me friends...

    The answer is Yes in all areas. The laptop will accept any 2.5 inch wide disk SATA 9.5 or 7 mm thick and which includes mechanical hard drives and Solid State drives. Where are you located (one country)? Hard drives and SSDS for laptops are a part of the goods. You can pick them up at a Best Buy or Frys if you live where there are no Frys or you can use amazon.com or newegg.com or similar online service. The prices vary a lot, so it is useful to get a good deal. A 1 to SSD can run more than $300, you know. Need instructions for installing and/or migrating software? We are a bit like McDonalds here in the Forum... served billion regarding replace drive hard/updates to level. One of the specialties of the House, so to speak.

  • How can I add an extra internal hard drive to my dell dimension 8300

    I installed an extra internal hard drive to my dell dimension 8300. He only appears in "Device Manager" and shows to work but he does not appear in 'my computer' and has not assigned a drive letter. It's a western digital 1200js-22mhbo. My drive root 'C' is also a wd1200jd from western digital. Can someone tell me what I do to get it to show up with a drive letter, and I have to format it? Also, there is a way to format so I can install programs on it as my "C" drive or I just will be only able to use it as extra storage? Thanks a lot for your help!

  • Trouble with the new internal hard drive...

    Hello, I just bought a 500 GB for my Dimension 4500 internal hard drive. When I click on my computer, it says the hard disk capacity is only 127 concerts. I think it's because the motherboard is old (I got the 4500 in 2002). Is it possible to reach the full 500 concerts (465-formatted) using this motherboard (i.e. through a BIOS upgrade or something) or 127 is the max I can get with this system?

    If I need a BIOS upgrade, where can I get TI/how I do that?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you
