• How can I add an extra internal hard drive to my dell dimension 8300

  I installed an extra internal hard drive to my dell dimension 8300. He only appears in "Device Manager" and shows to work but he does not appear in 'my computer' and has not assigned a drive letter. It's a western digital 1200js-22mhbo. My drive root 'C' is also a wd1200jd from western digital. Can someone tell me what I do to get it to show up with a drive letter, and I have to format it? Also, there is a way to format so I can install programs on it as my "C" drive or I just will be only able to use it as extra storage? Thanks a lot for your help!

• Re: How can I add a second internal hard drive to a Satellite Pro P200?

  I have a Satellite Pro P200 with a single internal hard drive. There is a second Bay in the computer of another internal hard drive, but I couldn't find any information about it. There is enough space for a 2.5 "SATA but I do not see a connector.

  I contacted Toshiba Dutch customer service who said that it was official policy not to provide any information on a second internal drive. They also said that they would not provide parts to make it possible.

  Can anyone provide more information?

  Hello!

  I think that if there is no connector you cannot add a second HDD.
  It of Nice to have a second Bay, but it's nothing without a connector.

  Good bye

• Available to add the second internal hard drive to 17-e117dx

  Hello

  Can you let me know, if there is provision to add the second internal hard drive for HP Pavilion e117dx 17.

  If so, one) is there requirments or the specifications of the hard disk (any make or model); (b) what equipment will be needed and where I can get to and c) Finally will be doing so make sure the warranty of my laptop HP Sub

  HP Pavilion

  Product: F9J38UA #ABA

  Model: 17-e117dx

  Thank you

  Not in the way you probably do. Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See Page 50. Unlike the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv7, Pavilion 17 has that a single hard drive Bay. The only way to add a second hard drive is to remove the DVD (optical drive) and insert a DVD to the hard drive bay adapter. The manual shows how to remove the DVD player and you can buy the adapter at amazon.com or jacobsparts.com. Note that this is a 9.5 mm thick disc, not a 12.7 mm. Both types are available. I do not recommend the adapter DVD player solution because you lose the use of the optical drive, and also because the interface of optical drive is usually not as fast as the main hard drive interface. Always fast enough for simple storage and you can run a video of her, but you do not want to edit the video of this disc, for example.

  https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

  If you decide to go the route of adapter DVD I would buy a large capacity 5400 RPM SATA 2.5 inches wide and drive hard thickness 9.5 mm. No sense in buying a reader more expensive high-performance.

• How can I identify a defective internal hard drive to be replaced on a macpro in early 2009

  How can I identify a defective internal hard drive to be replaced on a macpro 2009 beginning el capitan running

  A good starting point is the Information System (Option while clicking the Menu Apple key). At the hardware level, click on Express SATA/SATA and look for the SMART State in the bottom right pane for each HD listed in the upper pane right. Unless the State is OK, looks like not verified. If the drive is totally dead, search for a missing list for a drive Bay, you know is filled.

• HP 6280 t desktop computer. Can I install a 2nd IDE hard drive?

  I have a desktop HP p 6280t.  I have some old hard drives PC alternative before... all of these disks are IDE.  The current hard drive in my 6280 is a SATA.  The HP motherboard belongs 492774 001.

  I don't see how I can connect the IDE hard disk... Help, please.  Be descriptive in your explanation.

  EJD60, welcome to the forum.

  There is a SATA controller on the motherboard.  Whether you are able to install an IDE hard drive, you must install a PCI Express x 1 card IDE controller card.

• Pavilion a6500f: can I add a second SATA hard drive to my HP Pavilion a6500f?

  I have a HP Pavilion a6500f running Windows 7 Home Premium.  I would like to add a second hard drive to 500 GB 7200 RPM to it as a slave drive.  Can I do this?  And if I can how do I know what size must have the hard drive?

  That your system is 8 years old, I suggest you these:

  (1) clone the old drive to a new drive, either 500 GB or 1 TB.  Use it as your new drive system.  Modern Sata 600 drives are 6 Gbps with 64 MB of cache memory. It will have better performance than older Sata 300 players with 32 MB cache / 3 GB/s.

  (2) your old-school, like the reader of the term 'slave' was a reference to the IDE/EIDE, cabling system.

  (3) all you need is a standard WD or Seagate 7200 RPM disk 3,5 '' hard. Both offer a free disk assistant program to facilitate the process of cloning.

• Pavilion N0X12AV 550-150qe: 550-150qe pavilion N0X12AV model add extra internal hard drive

  The motherboard (pegatron s memphis) there the additional SATA card and power supply (300 watt) has the ability to add something like a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 HD? I called support and was tossed to 4 people and they could not answer these questions. And I guess I should ask if there's a location to attach the HD is not a coward. I have two of these drives and would love to put them to use as a HDD backup, if possible. I am aware that I can as external hard drive via USB kit. Thank you, Mike.

  Hello

  You should be able to add a HDD 2.5 "or a SSD to your PC.  See the image below.

• 1900-303: can I use 80 GB internal HARD drive?

  My s manual says I can install 10, 20 and 30 GB HARD drive! I have the latter. Can I install the 80 GB with no problems?

  Hello

  I found the same info. If you want to be sure that pick up some info from the HARD drive supplier or service partner. They are responsible for the hardware upgrade of the laptop. As far as I know, they are also able to manipulate the BIOS settings and large capacity that HARD drive is recognized correctly.

• Windows 7 is not looking for files on my physics extra internal hard drive (d :)) why not?)

  On the Microsoft Web site at: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows7/products/features/windows-search

  It says on the page, , "a few people store all their files in a place these days. If Windows 7 is also designed to search for external hard drives, networked PC, and libraries. Overwhelmed by your search result? You can instantly narrow them by date, type of file and other useful categories. »

  Why, then, can't I search for files on my internal additional physical hard drive D: I know are there, and yet I can see and open them in Windows Explorer?

  I would debate that from what I see, by default, Windows 7 is not be indexed files on anything other than his main boot partition.

  Is it possible to change Windows 7 to enable indexing of other readers, or force a periodic re-indexing?

  If anyone has an answer, it would be much appreciated.

  Try (see - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/improve-windows-searches-using-index-faq#1TC=windows-7 )

  I would like to especially video games more quickly, in addition to having several installed (larger) programs.

  Thank you for your help, I appreciate your advice.

  Hello:

  You must also ensure that 2 TB HARD drive has the same physical dimenstions than your current one, or it may not correspond in the Bay.

  Some TB HDD 1 and 2 are thicker than hard drives of 500 GB.

• Windows 8 does not show my extra internal hard drives

  My additional internal hard drives are not displayed in windows. I checked the Disk Manager, and they do not show here. It just says not: no media. I checked all connections and they seem to be right.

  If they are not displayed in the disk management, I'd be willing to bet that they are disabled in the BIOS settings.

• Help! I can't import again second internal hard drive.

  Lightroom doesn't let me import photos on my new internal hard drive. It lists only the OS (c :) and don't let me no change to my new hard drive (b).  What should I do?

  

  I suggest that you try to assign a different drive letter, one that is drive D or higher. I think Lightroom is still old-fashioned and considers the player B must be a disk.
