• Can I format my secondary hard drive on another PC?

  I understand that you format a secondary hard drive before using this, but what happens if I format it in another computer and place it in another computer? I basically want to just send my files on the secondary hard drive then put the hard drive in another computer and transfer the files on the primary. Should it be formatted when installed in another computer, every time and will it be ok if I just send my files to real vivid primary in another computer? Thank you

  Format on a computer and you can use it in all that are supported by the type of file system.  Use NTFS for windows computers.

• Windows 7 loses the secondary hard drive

  This has been a problem, I don't know why I waited this long to ask about it.

  My secondary hard drive keep endangered of Windows 7, as if someone unplugged spontaneously, except that it's still there.

  This problem can be resolved by restarting just the computer, and it can remain correct for a few minutes, a few hoursor a few days, but it still exists, usually several times a week.

  I checked all connections and even swapped the cables. There is nothing wrong with the drive itself, I can put it in another computer without this problem occurring. I also tried to move to an another empty SATA connection on the motherboard without success.

  I do not use the drive on a regular basis and bought only so that the steam and the game files that are, (and now the original since I finally broke down and got Mass Effect 3 despite efforts to avoid EA "me too!" steam clone.) were not cluttering up my main hard drive.

  But when I decide to take a load off and play games, I like for the reader to be there without needing a reboot, it can so be a little frustrating because it's usually when I am stressed already :)

  Thanks in advance for any help offered.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

  Disks RAID configured hard two?

  Internal hard disks connect to the motherboard of your computer using an IDE or SATA interface interface. Most new hard drives come with an IDE or SATA connection cable, depending on the type of drive.

  Install an internal hard disk takes a bit more work, especially if you plan to make the new disk your primary hard disk where you install Windows. Drive hard internal jumpers that you set to configure the main hard drive (master) disk where you install Windows or a secondary (slave) drive where you store programs and files. For the diagnosis of your problem, I suggest trying the following methods and check if the number is reproduced.

  Method 1:

  Check if you are able to view the second hard disk (HDD) in Device Manager. If so, try to change drive letter assignments in Windows 7. See the following steps:

  (a) connect to the computer as an administrator.

  (b) click Start, right-click computerand then click Manage.

  (c) click on disk management.

  (d) right click on the volume of the secondary HDD that you want to change and then click change drive letter and paths.

  (e) double click on the secondary drive, click change, click the drive letter that you want to use and then click OK.

  Additional information:
  Change, add, or remove a drive letter
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter

  If method 1 does not resolve the problem, go to method 2.

  Method 2:

  I suggest you try to check the secondary hard drive to find errors.

  Consult the following link:

  Check your hard drive to find errors in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2641432/en-us

  Warning: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  If method 2 does not work, go to method 3.

  Method 3:

  Try to run a scan of the file system (CFS) auditor to check any file corruption:

  1. Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
  2. Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, click OK, or alternatively click on Yes.
  3. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

• Can I install a new HARD drive and use an old backup

  Just, I got my new Dell's HARD drive and need to install it in my Dim 9200. Can I use the old hard drive as a backup drive or secondary without deleting anything or reformatting? I have too many things on the old drive and am not crazy about cloning, I prefer to do a clean install of XP and be able to do things more when I feel the need. Is this possible or am I dreaming.

  Has never done this before so I need help. Thank you.

  After installing the new drive hard SATA and windows installation, etc. and when it works to your satisfaction, put the 'old' drive as the secondary, transfer all the files and folders you need in the new C: / volume, using the option "send to."  Providing the old hard drive has no problems, then the format and partition the drive for additional storage.

  Note. Only files and folders can be transferred, all programs and applications must be reinstalled from their records, or downloaded from the site of the publishers.

• Add the secondary hard drive to dv7-3130eo

  Anyone know if it is possible to use the secondary hard drive Bay on the above model.

  I searched and could not know whether or not it is supported. If it supports this what should I use to add an sdd drive

  Yes, it can be used. You just need the hard drive caddy and the connector like the one that is in the hard drive Bay. They are available online or on eBay for maybe $45.

  example of

  Yes, the hard drive can be an ssd. SSD drives have the same physical dimensions and connections such as a SATA drive. You need the money because I just don't see prices of SSDS come down to where I think it makes sense to invest in one. I ran an ssd in my last laptop... paid about $400 for a concert 128 2 years ago and I don't think they are much cheaper now, although they are better I guess. It was all that (fast, quiet, cool), but it was nagging little glitches on writing on the disc and occasionally she just sat there for a few seconds and think about doing something. I changed a standard 7200 RPM drive.

• Pavilion a6500f: can I use my old hard drive as a second drive to the new I install.

  I have a Pavilion a6500f I can access is no longer as he continues to tell me there are registry errors.  My recovery disk (I got a) or do a hard reset or else he will start.  It came with a window that says recovery system or start Windows normally.  I get a new hard drive to it and have a whole new Windows 7 installed.  The thing is that I don't want to lose all my stuff on the old hard drive.  So my question is can I install the OLD hard drive as a second drive to the new?  If I can then I can just copy all the files from the old drive to the new and use the old as a memory drive.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  The simple answer is Yes.

  (1) I would like to replace the hard drive with the same drive size or larger. But does not exceed 2 T.

  (2) I hope you made the original recovery DVD set the original recovery firstly, DVD media DVD + R try as these will save you having to create a driver disk.  If you really have to buy a complete set of recovery, get it here. It will have all the necessary drivers.  Only $27.00

  (3) I copy the files and destroy the old disk. Its usefulness is damaged since 2008.

• Satellite P200-13Z - upgrade the hard drive - can I use SATA II hard drives?

  I have a Satellite P200-13Z with simple standard Fujitsu 120 GB SATA hard drive. I want to change this to a RPM SATA II 250 GB Western Digital 7200 RPM drive. This interface SATA laptop does support SATA II? Thank you very much!

  Not your portable computer does not support SATA II.

  However, you can buy the SATA II hard drive and put it in your laptop. Only way to get it going is to restrict the new speed of SATA HDD, I accelerate. To do this is to introduce a jumper on the drive to restrict it to SATA I speeds up. Once it's done put in your laptop and viola, it works.

  Good luck, but I would like to get a toshiba technician to install it if its under warranty. It's for your own good, so you don't turn your laptop into a boat anchor.

• Secondary hard drive for M58e

  I really like the Lenovo computers, the M58e that I just bought (two, actually) doesn't have a provision for adding a secondary hard drive. The hardware Maintenance Manual shows a cage on the bottom of the case, but that is not. The manual, as far as I could tell, has failed a number of similar cage.

  It is hard to believe that Lenovo would be a tower that does not have the ability to easily add a second hard drive. What is the solution? Drill holes in the bottom of the case? Incredible.

  Support is provided with certain models, but not others. This is really unfortunate. I drilled four holes in the bottom of the case and the bottom mounted drive, very near where it would have been if the support was present.
