• starting from the second hard drive to a dv7 6199sl

  Hello.

  I noticed that my dv7-6199sl space for a second hard drive. There is the caddy but not on cable. Before you buy the cable

  (I don't know where yet, maybe HP spare parts site) I need to know if it is possible to boot from the second hard drive with my laptop model. Thanks in advance.

  Best

  Hi John,.

  My best guess would be that the USB 3.0 ports require a driver to work correctly, try to boot from it (when the driver is not loaded) may not work - this isn't a definitive answer, but I do not know of bootable recovery media certainly has problems booting from a 3.0.

  Regarding the wire to the second HDD, I would suggest sending a request thereon to HP to the Email address in the form below.

  Hope any 1 here can help me

  Thanks a lot steve!

  In general you can swap the HARD drive or update it with more a (ability), but the installation of recovery should work. It is important to use compatible HARD drive for certain system.
  I did several times in the past. No problem at all.

  After HDD change the value of the BIOS default settings and start recovery installation using created the recovery disc.

  Start your laptop and when you see Toshiba welcome screen pres F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu.
  When the menu is displayed on the screen, put the recovery DVD in the optical disc drive.
  In the menu choose you CD/DVD and press ENTER.
  Installation of recovery should start.

  Please do so and send feedback.

• Tecra W50 - cannot start when installing the second hard drive (caddy).

  Hi all
  I have a Tecra W50 PT640A 04103NN1.
  When a second hard drive is installed in the Bay of DVD player cell phone will try to boot from the drive bay, not the internal drive
  This second drive has no operating system installed and so the fails to start.

  If I hit F12 at startup and select HARD drive, while the machine starts correctly. That is starts on the main hard drive.
  Change the order of boot in the BIOS makes all the difference; He will always try to boot from the second drive bay drive first.

  All known A it works correctly?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Doppelfrog,
  I had the same problem with my W50, got my HDD caddy a few days ago.
  You have a bit of luck to fix this problem?
  I believe that the Bios for this laptop is not developed to serve both drives (like the computer I had that one drive Bay) and it is not possible to prioritize the witch THAT HDD should start first...

  Kind regards

  Hello

  You need two cables, one is a sata cable:

  This cable is only for data and connect the hard drive to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

  The other cable is energy:

  http://www.itpartsdirect.com/STARTech-15-24cm-4-pin-Molex-to-SATA-power-cable-adaptor.html

  It connects the hard drive to the PSU.

  You can also buy a combo like this cable:

  All you have to do is to connect the hard drive and that's it. Make sure that the main drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are the numbers 1, 2, 3...)

• Add the second hard drive

  I replaced a faulty computer with a second hand replacement. Both are programmed with XP and the same browser. I installed the HDD in the position of the Tower slave, plugged the cable and Ribbon secondary and put power cord.  The computer does not recognize the additional hardware. Y at - it an easy way to simple transfer of data to the new hard drive, or is there a way to access the second hard disk drive so I can use the computer program?

  You have misused terminology in this issue, so it's a little difficult to determine what your problem may be caused.

  What do you mean by "the computer does not recognize the additional hardware?  Only shows drive in disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)?  If the player appears in disk management, but not in my computer, you may need to use disk management to assign a drive letter.

  It seems that if you want to take the faulty computer hard drive (in condition, of course, was not the hard drive itself which was defective) and put it in another computer.

  There is no such thing as a "slave of the Tower position."  Likely, you just put the old drive into an available drive Bay.

  Generally, the 'secondary' water is used for optical drives - not a second hard drive.  Usually, if there is only one hard drive, it is connected to the connector at the end of the water and the second hard drive is connected via the connector in the middle of the cable.  The cable connected to the primary IDE connector on the motherboard should be a 80 wire cable, while the other may be a 40 wire cable:http://www.mikeshardware.com/howtos/howto_connect_ide_hd.html

  When you have 2 drives connected on the same cable 80 wire, one is the 'master' (the one linked at the end of the cable) and the other is the "slave".  You specify the drive to this topic, what you are doing by correctly setting the jumper on the pins at the rear of the car.  You set the jumper on a 'master' and the other as 'slave' or two disks can be set for "Cable Select" If both support this and you have the special cable Select "Cable".

  However you connect, you must make sure that the drive of the old computer is defined as the slave drive, because you do NOT want to start from this installation of Windows.

  The foregoing assumes that both drives are the older IDE type of walk.  If one or both are SATA drives, it is quite something different.

• Message need to get an administrator authority, during the passage of the second hard drive.

  Original title: pass to the second hard drive

  My computer has two hard drives of 500 GB.  One is almost full.  I want to start using the other hard drive, however when I tried my computer said that I need the authority of a Director and that I don't have that power.  I am the only administrator on the computer, so I don't understand why it says that.  In addition, as the original hard disk memory becomes more complete, my computer crashes more.

  Can anyone help?

  Hi ColMarriott,

  Using a hard drive internal or external?

  You can try the second formatting hard drive after taking a backup of the data on the disk.

  If you use an external hard drive, you can try the following steps.

  a. connect the external drive.

  b. find the external hard drive in windows Explorer

  c. right-click on the drive and select format.

  You can check the following items and check:

  Install or remove a hard drive

  Create and format a hard disk partition

  Important: Make sure that you have backed up all the data before going forward with the format.

  Since the first hard disk is full and crashing, you can try to move some data and check only files not programs drive different or another location.

  Hope this information is useful.

• How to set up the second hard drive

  My Mac Pro has two, the hard drives of 1 TB.  I had originally planned on the use of the second hard drive for Time Machine.  However, instead of using Time Machine, I now save by cloning my first hard drive to an external hard drive using Carbon Copy Cloner.  I did not use Time Machine in a year and do not expect that I have to use more.

  My first hard drive fills up-I have about 150 GB unused on it, and with video editing I'm is squeezed.  What is the best way to configure my system so that I can use my second, now sleeping, hard drive? Is it possible of them gang up together so that my system will behave as if there is a 2 TB HDD?

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes. It is called RAID.

• Setting up the second hard drive preinstalled

  I have a Pavilion m9250f equipped of Windows Vista 64-bit with two 500 GB hard drives.  The first hard disk is almost at capacity (available 15%), and I want to know how to set up the second disc for use.

  Hello

  The SATA controller mode setting is in the bios. F10 will get you into the bios. Back up your data before attempting to make any changes.  If you use the RAID mode then then you will need to enter the Intel RAID CTRL + I utility at startup to disable the parring.  RAID 1 is extra protection in case you have a hard drive failure.  If you disable the RAID 1 parring so be sure to perform backups at a frequency you can live if you experience a hard drive failure.  When the RAID 1 parring is disabled, then the second hard drive will be available for data storage (more than 500GB).  If get you there, then you can do a quick format on the second hard drive.  Now you should be able to move the folders you want to the second hard drive.

• Satellite P70 - how to use the second HARD drive?

  I have recently bought a satellite P70 - A - 10 d.

  I see that there is no second location on hard disk, so I can install a second disk.

  But I can't understand how screed the disc.
  Do I need additional items for it or he'll be safe just plug the drive and leave it without screws?

• How to use the second HARD drive of Satellite A210 - BP1 for mirroring

  Satellite A210-BP1 came with 2 HDD (160 GB).
  Now, I want to use the second hard drive mirrored the first, one that has Vista installed.
  This should be done without supervision and in real time - as a RAID 1.

  How can I do this?
  I also have Vista professional available and I would be willing to use 3rd party software as well.

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Hi Jan

  I doubt that this is possible
  Why? The point is that you need to use two hard drives in mirroring, RAID striping, mode etc technology
  Satellite A210 can't RAID. It s only a SATA controller without RAID capacity!

  Therefore, the final answer is; NO, it is not possible to use mirroring

  Hello

  I know that this empty place for second HARD drive is a bit confusing, but the same situation is with my A200-1CR. The fact is that some A200 models come with 2 hard drives and laptop case design this place must be prepared for this second HDD.

  But this does not mean that each A200 can be improved for the second HARD drive.

• keep the second hard drive as duplicate in case of failure of the first disc

  I installed the second hard drive of the same size mfg and would not lead copy. Now I want to keep up-to-date with the first hard drive so that if the first drive fails, can I use the second drive until I get replacement for the failed drive. Never forget backups all have problems when you need them.

  You can not do it legally.

  Vista installation rules:

  A single license is a single Installation.

  This applies even on the same computer.

  See you soon.

• How can I move my operating system to a new hard drive or other solutions, must be the Media Center

  My computer a gateway 815GM Media center PC has become black and start with some gray characters and words back up your data and replace the hard drive is bad. (or similar) My question is how can I move the operating system Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to a new hard drive.  Since the problem is the hard drive and all the computer a new operating system should not be purchased.  If there is no way to move it is it possible Microsoft send a replacement free of charge, or at least OS with only shipping.  My computer came with it pre-installed, and I have not received the drive with the OS on it.  What can I do?  Thank you for your information.

  When you received your entry door, it came with a CD or operating system recovery disc. If you no longer have that (or has not made a recovery disc set a utility included), contact Gateway to buy a set of recovery disks. It is normally fairly cheap. Then install the new hard drive and booting with the recovery disk to restore your computer to the factory State. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
