Can I have two HARD drives in my d7-1448 of the Pavilion notebook?

• If you have two hard drives, can you wipe the second and just use it as a storage device?

  If you have two HARD drives in a PC Windows 7, can you remove everything (including the System 32, Windows users, literally everything) in the second and still use his computer? All my programs on the first HDD would remain on my PC, but all the files of the second being scratched? I'm running out of space on my first HARD drive and need to know if I can keep the second as storage just pure.

  Thank you.

  Hey Elliot,

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  According to the description, it seems that you want to delete all the data on the secondary hard drive without affecting the first hard drive operating system files.

  I'll be happy to help you with this.

  If the operating system (Windows 7) is installed on the first hard drive, it has nothing to do with the second hard disk. You can go ahead and delete all data without hesitation.

  Note: Make sure that you remove the data from the hard drive where Windows 7 is installed.

  If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup.

  For more information, see the link.

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

• Can I use two hard drives in the Qosmio G40-10th

  Anyone know if it is possible to install two hard drives in this laptop. I read simewhere that it had to be two slots hard drive in it?
  If so where is it located?
  Ther would be all issues around extra heat that could be generated etc.?

  I have had mine for about 5/6 months and have had a screen replaced (defective backlight).
  Many other people have had problems?

  I wonder if its worth buy the extended warranty.

  See you soon.
  Sunil

  Hello

  As far as I know this laptop takes support only a single HARD disk.
  Check the underside of the laptop. Do you see a second slot (cover) the second HDD?
  I imagine that it has a single HARD drive Bay, and so only a single HARD disk can be used.

  I m not a G40 owner and, therefore, I cannot comment on any other issue.
  But each computer technology may start to malfunction it is why I always recommend buying an extended warranty.

  Best regards

• I have two hard drives 500 GB & 250 GB, 500 GB was drive C:, the two had switched, how I safely switch back?

  I can find two hard drives, but he did tell me that one is the 500 GB or 250 GB. Need to get my 500 to the C: drive.

  If you start the computer (start-> computer), you can see the drives with their letters of player sizes and how much space is used.  If your computer is running however, I would recommend against trying to move the letters because it is likely to make your computer unusable.

  Good luck.

• Create new virtual machine of the model that have two hard drives in the different data store

  We do VM deploy automation with PowerCLI.

  There is already a model created with at least two hard drives to one side and each hard drive belong to difference datastore,

  In the model's operating system is Windows server 2008 R2 already installed VMware Tools and other software in the second (other than C: driver) driver

  We can successfully deploy a new virtual machine with this manually with vSphere client model.

  But when we try to make the deployment with PowerCLI, can not find examples of similar scripts in the document of reference,

  and we also google this question, still no similar question was found.

  Is this possible with PowerCLI? If it's possible could you give me some advice or an example of script, thank you!

  Best regards.

  I already found the solution.

  With the vSphere SDK .NET API, we can create the new virtual machine to the model

  Mainly used API listed below, sorry because I can not give the source code here.

  • VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineCloneSpec
  • VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec

• I'm finally upgrading to XP (SP3) to Win7. I have two hard drives on my computer.

  Can I move the files I want to save on the other hard drive and install Win7 on the main HD instead of buy an external HD as the instructions State?

  I have an old Dell XPS410 with 2 GB of RAM and two HDs. The only thing I use the other HD for storage is (I am an artist and musician). The idea of having to save this HD set is terrifying for me right now there are about 350 GB worth of songs made with reason and images and web graphics made with Photoshop. The last thing I want to do is lose this kind of things. The 2nd HD was added long after I initially bought the computer, and I have never re-installed the system since the 2nd HD has been added.

  A custom install of Win7 would also remove the info on the second HD?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Move your songs during the second drive unit. Then turn off the computer and unplug the data cable from the second drive unit. This will leave only the drive that you want to install Windows 7 on connected and nothing on the second disc will be safe.

  Custom installation (which is your only option when upgrading Windows XP will however require that you all you reinstall applications (including Photoshop), so locate all your installation media and product keys.)

  Windows XP users have two options:
  1) begins with an upgrade in place to Windows Vista, followed an upgrade in place to Windows 7
  The key is that you need a Vista DVD. So if you have your old DVD of Vista, dust off it.

• When I click on computer it tells me that I have two hard drives

  one is my vista-EU (c) 465 GB.

  The other is disk data backup, also with 465 GB.

  now please can you tell me what the backup hard drive data is for.

  and how I can use it.

  can I put some of my files on it.

  or when I fill the disk hard vista will it then go to the hard disk of 2 nd,

  as you can see I don't know, so I thought I'd ask.

  You have two physical disks or you have a disk partitioned into two identical partitions?  You must open your PC and watch.  However, if two physical disks or two partitions on a physical disk, probably little in terms of use.  The additional drive has a drive letter (i.. e, D or E or something like that)?  If it has a drive letter, there the files on the disk?  Use Windows Explorer to search for.

  If you have a second empty drive, it can be interesting to use it as a backup.  Most versions of Windows have built a backup program.  Some may clone a drive, and it is the best way if the goal is speedy recovery operation.  You make just a bit-to-bit drive C and then if something happens to this player, you have a copy of the morror from where you start.  Do you the back up data you don't need to back up, however.

  Other backup programs will bring copies only specific data to you and in most cases, that's fine.  If sometrhing occurs on the C drive, replace you it, reinstall Windows and your other programs, and then copy your data specific to your user profile.

  While there is an element of risk if the two discs are in the same PC, a defect in the drive does not necessarily mean that they will both fail, then what you get is more likely to be available in the case of a faulre.

  Have two partitions on the same drive adds a bit of risk.  If something were to happen to your physical drive, you lose not only the C drive, but whatever the drive is mapped to the other partition.

  In all good backup system, you must also use off-site, such as DropBox and SkyDrive storage.  It wouldn't hurt to burn your WIndows on a CD or a DVD profile regularly also.  You should have three copies of any file that you feel is important.

• Can I connect two hard drives to my HP Pavilion p6607c?

  I was wondering if my mother had connections for two hardrives. My diet has also all the connectors for hardrives on only one power cable a few inches apart. I can use these for another hard drive? Thanks in advance for any help.

  AlbertoHG1,

  Somehow, I knew that this was coming, so I prepared for it. Here's a guide. The author States that it is step by step.

• I have two hard drives, how do I enroll their

  my laptop has a place for a secomd HDD that I need how can I synchronize their one?

  If what you want is more space, you just install a second drive in your laptop - secondary hard drive bay or replace the existing with a larger drive.  You do not 'synchronize' readers.

  You have already installed the second hard drive?  If so, it should show in my computer as drive D:-is this?

  If you have physically installed the disk but it does not appear in my computer, you probably assign a drive letter and format it.

  Start disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)
  In the lower pane, you should see an entry for disk 0 (this is your player - first - master, in order to do not touch) and an entry for disc 1.
  The entry for 1 disk will probably say "Unallocated" and show the size of the disk.  Right-click on the white space where it says "Unallocated" and select "New Partition".  Follow the wizard to create a partion "primary" and give the reader a letter (D: would be a good idea) and the format of the player.  Choose the NTFS file system.

  Note that you may need to change the drive letter of your CD/DVD drive if that has already received the letter D: (or you can simply accept the first letter that shows).  This by scrolling down in managing disks and right click on the entry for the CD/DVD drive.

  Once you have formatted the new drive, and it has a drive letter, you can just move files and folders from your first drive.  If you want to move your entire "My Documents" folder and its subfolders, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310147

  You can't move programs, however.  Those that you need to uninstall and reinstall, specifying the new drive as the destination.

  You cannot reinstall hard unless make you it bootable and copy the installation files. I really don't understand what you're saying here, something about drivers. IF you are unable to install them, download and manually install (drivers on the manufacturer's Web site from your)

• XPS 400 - Windows XP SP2 can not find my two hard drives when you try to install the OS

  Help, please! My XPS 400 system crashed with an error hal.ddl.  Was able to copy my important data on a disk external usb.  Tried to re - install windows XP on the old disk and windows does not recognize the hard drives.  I have two drives a Maxtor 250 GB and a 160 GB Maxtor.  I am able to run the utilities on disks and they spend.  After many trys, I thought since I was my important data on the external usb drive, I would go buy a new HD and start all over again.  I bought a WD 500 GB drive and you guessed it, windows xp couldn't recognize the disc. I use Windows XP service pack 2.  I read that Dell had the F11 recovery tool and I ran with success.  However as I started to load some of my programs on the disk, it seemed super slow and I don't know that I have confidence in it.  What should I do to get Windows XP to recognize my drives on the installer?  FRUSTRATING!

  
  

• WE made the Notebook G71-340 have TWO hard drive bays

  My mother has the laptop mentioned in this topic. She had all kinds of issues with her past. Runs slowly. Crashes. Stop randomly. I ran all virus scan and malware known to man and it found nothing. It's either something that is on the hard drive is not detected and the only solution is to reformat the hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch or it's a hardware problem. I think to install an SSD as drive for improved speed and reformatting of the original disc that is out there at the moment and which install as a secondary drive, * IF * this laptop has the capacity to hold 2 hard drives. Anyone know the answer to this question of 2nd hard drive Bay on the top of their head for this laptop specific? Thanks in advance.

  Unfortunately this is not one of the models with the extra hard drive Bay. So the answer is no. Think hard external usb disc or a NAS.

  Install an SSD as a replacement for the original hard drive is the way to go. Use the largest you can afford and run an image recovery plant from the set of recovery disks.

  Take a look at the interview guide & Service.
