Can I install a HDD IDE in HP A6700Y

I have a HP A6700Y (REF # NC686AA #ABA) who needs a new primary HARD drive. I want to test it with an IDE HDD I have on hand. Is it possible to install a HDD IDE in this PC? If it is possible, where the controller ports are located on the map? I couldn't see the cables in usual tablecloth or sheets of food for an IDE drive. I'm not familiar with the new SATA technology. Would appreciate some advice.

Thank you

Paul,

Thank you for your response.  The blue connector and one above and to the right are like connectrors IDE. There are four connectors of available power. Could you suggest a resource in order to confirm that these are indeed the IDE connectors? I don't see no labelling around them. I'll try an IDE Ribbon and see if it fits.

  • Help! How to install a HDD IDE on Compaq CQ5700Y (apricot MOBO - SATA all)...

    Hi all. I read a ton of posts here about people who want to install their old drives in their new computers, but so far, none have addressed the specific problem I have. I have a Compaq CQ5700Y with a mini card mother (H-apricot-RS780L-Μatx) which is SATA ONLY and I want to install my old IDE hard drive inside.

    The drive I want to put is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 Ultra ATA 250 GB and thought it would be easy enough to do if I just buy an adapter to connect the old hard drive. So I bought an IDE HDD 3.5 SATA Serial ATA converter adapter which I have easily set up power and data cables, set the jumper on the drive master and plugged cable SATA him on the unused port SATA3.

    I booted up and heard the old HDD begin to turn: he was alive! But unfortunately when I entered the BIOS it did not there even if all SATA ports are enabled and should have automatically detected it. I thought that maybe it can just be the rider on it, so I tried each of the pin position, master, Cable Select and slave (no jumper at all) but still nothing.

    In my recent successful attempts, I played musical slots with the SATA ports between the old HDD, new HARD drive and the DVD drive, but still nothing... I'm completely stumped. I know that the other option is to buy an external enclosure, but I'd really like to keep the drive in the case of the tower. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Eric

    I see your motherboard has two PCI Express x 1 expansion slots and you mentioned that one of them has a graphics card in it.  If you have another free location, have you considered installing a PCI Express x 1 IDE controller card?  They cost about $15.

  • Satellite X 200-245 can I install a second HDD

    on the satellite X 200-245: can I install a second hard drive?
    is this possible?
    There is a place for him but no sata connection on the motherboard where can I find this connector

    No you can not install the second HDD because there is no connector on the HARD drive that would be impossible to connect the HARD drive to the mobo.
    And no, it of not possible to upgrade the mobo with this connector.

    The X 200 has two HARD drive bays because certain X 200 support 2 hard drives and some don t support.

  • How can I install the 2nd HDD on my Satellite P200 - 14H

    Hello
    I want to know, how can I install the 2nd hard disk on my Satellite P200 - 14H and what I have to buy, because when I open the 2nd hdd slot, so I don't see anything about what I could add the 2nd disc

    Thanks, Filip

    Hello

    Maybe you don't see the second HARD drive connectors because the phone does not support the 2nd HARD drive?
    Not all laptops even if the 2nd HARD drive Bay is available, support two hard drives.
    Laptops come with different hardware and different motherboards, but with the same coverage
    So the bays for HARD drives are available, but the motherboard does not support the 2nd HARD drive interface.

  • Why I can't install Windows7 on a computer that does not have a 64-bit processor?

    I tried to install Windows7 on an old desktop computer, but got an error message that says that a 64-bit processor is required.  So, if I can't install Windows7, what version of Windows I can use?

    Maurice

    HI Maurice Osborn.

    Old desktop computer consists of 32-bit processor called x 86 only. So you need support for Windows 7 x 86 to install on your PC. I hope that you have Windows 7 X 64 Media, it is not compatible with your PC. That's why you have this error.

    There are two types of media available X 86 and X 64...

    To use windows 7 x 86 Media for your PC

    Please check your PC meets the said requirements below...

    Windows 7 minimum configuration:

    Processor: Pentium 3, 665 MHz, Celeron, Pentium 4 1 GHz / Core 2 Duo 2 GHz

    RAM:
    512 MB (that's a lot still needs to get the installer running)

    1 GB, maybe 1.5 GB

    2 GB or more

    Graphics card:

    Embedded graphics, 8 MB memory card

    Integrated graphics, 64 MB of memory,
    at least drivers WDDM 1.0 (Vista), DirectX 9 capable.

    Map dedicated graphics, 128 or 256 MB of memory.
    WDDM 1.1 drivers (Windows 7), DirectX 9 and 10 capable.

    Hard drive:

    HARD DRIVE IDE, 10 GB
    Please post what size of hard drive, you got win7 working on!

    IDE or SATA HDD, 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit) free

    Thank you..

    If I install an emulator can you install games in the emulator? I have a game I want to play

    Sadly, this would be a very bad idea. You can upgrade the operating system on Mac computers to some extent (HCL), but you can not downgrade reliable, since the old OS doesn't know how to operate new equipment properly. As with Mac OS 8, which was designed for the Motorola 68000 and PowerPC processors, which have long since disappeared. There might be an around, like SheepShaver emulator, but the hardware (not only CPU, but the rest of the graphics) has changed so it will be just a novelty, unable to run quite efficiently if a game is playable on it.

    Hello

    Maybe you have an old version of your Windows XP operating system in the Microsoft Windows CD.
    I guess you are not able to install the OS, because some updates and SP are missing on the CD.
    You should try to include service packs of MS, and then install the operating system.
