Can I install 2 hard drives in my HP Pavilion p6650z?

We need to get a new hard drive, and I want to migrate EVERYTHING on the hard drive of origin to the new - not only files, but the OS and channels.

My question: can I just install a second hard drive (internal) in the case of my p6650z?

This would make everything more easy - I could then everything on the old hard drive, migrate to the new.

I could then remove the old hdd or maintain...


HP LaserJet p1102w

HERE , it is the user and the maintenance for this guide.  The hard drive section begins on page 17.  It seems that there is space for two hard drives in the drive cage.  There are four SATA ports on the motherboard, which looks good to go, too.

If you expect to "hover over to the new drive" - I use a cloning software and just do the new hard drive boot disk.  Once you are satisfied of this and everything looks good to you, reformat the old drive for usage data.  In my humble OPINION, clone the old drive to the new hard drive using either the function of the cloning is available from the website of the manufacturer of the hard drive or use Acronis, then unplug the old one to make sure you have what you think is starting on the new hard drive to check the new disc is good and has everything you want.  Can do everything with the old drive for data.

    Hello:

    Yes, you should be able to.

    They are the same model series and should have essentially the same key components.

  • Can I install second HARD drive in the Satellite A200-AH7

    I wonder if I can install the second hard drive in my laptop and if I can do this what equipment should I.

    Laptop computer has two covers of hard disk and manual is not clear on this subject.
    He said: some models.

    Thanks for the info

    You can't find the answer very easily.

    Remove the second HDD Bay cover and check if there are a few HARD drive connectors/pins.

    If Yes, then you could install a second HDD.
    If not, you can not use second HARD drive.

  • Pavilion x 2 10-n100na: can I add a hard drive from a HP Pavilion x 2 10-n100na?

    Can I add a hard drive to a Pavilion x 2 10-n100na? I noticed that some models in this range, for example. the Pavilion x 2 10-n107na, have a 1 TB drive. These 2 machines appear identical on the outside, so I was wondering if the 10 - 100na has all the required internal connections such as I could slot in my own hard drive.

    All answers gratefully received. Thank you.

    @Huffer

    I noticed that the manual indicates that it is for some models only, but unfortunately there is not any information about who they are.

    I have to disagree with you and say no.

    You cannot add a disk hard unless your x 2 is one of the special types.

    In the manual, you'll notice that even the keyboard, the coverage and the closing of the bottom are different. Take a very close look at this manual.

  • Pavilion P6235uk: can I install second hard drive on PC?

    Hello. I was wondering if I can install a second hard drive on my PC.

    The present Sata hard drive has a capacity of 640 GB.

    If there is a port to spare for a second hard drive, is there a maximum useful?

    And everything would make SATA 3.5 '' hard disk fit? I would be grateful for any advice.

    Thank you

  • HDD problem IBM Thinkpad T42. I can't install NEW Hard Drive and NEW OEM Windows XP?

    Hi all

    When I turn on the notebook Windows XP starts up and everything is loaded. But after 5 or 10 minutes, the response is very slow. If I click on any window and try to open any folder, or open internet explore it takes about 1 or 2 minutes to respond. I tried several ways to scan disk and Defrag, but still that are of no use. I also tried 'Difficulty automatically File System Errors' and ' will search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors ", but this problem is still there. Even when I stop it takes too long to stop about 15 to 20 minutes.

    When I turn on again NEXT DAY Windows XP starts and everything loads quickly. After 5 or 10 minutes, the response is very slow. This problem occurs for a few days.

    I then used "IBM Rescue and Restore" to load fresh operating system. Still the problem does not get fixed.

    Can you get it someone please let me know if this is problem of hard disk or something else. I'm guessing it's related to the hard drive.

    If it is the drive hard problem how to save (clone) of this old hard drive AGAIN DISK (after buying) HARD.

    If I buy the NEW HARD DRIVE and CD/DVD of NEW OPERATING SYSTEM OEM VERSION it will work? Do existing mother board ALLOW to load a NEW VERSION of OS OEM?

    Thank you

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer, IBM and ask them to send a recovery disk/s XP set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.

    Thank you

    PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well

    Hey,.

    If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.

    As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

  • 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.

    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.

    Hi Merlin,

    Thank you for the information.

    Have you tried to run a check disk from the BIOS (Basic Input Output System)? If this isn't the case, you can try to do a hard drive from the BIOS test & see if the problem still occurs.

    If you are not comfortable with the BIOS, you you contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.
