How can I run two disk hard of (adding a 2nd hard drive) on the flag a1020n?

How to do two hard drives on the a1020n Pavilion, after adding a new hard drive for my existing CPU?  My old hard drive is out, so I will install a new hard drive, redefinition of the new hard drive, but I still want to have access to the old disk until I have transferred all my personal files to the new drive.  I saw answers to self-help.

Yes. I often throw in additional disks other PC as a second drive... just give Windows a minute or two to find and configure the drives after their installation. You can use the Explorer to browse the file structure.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you want to remove all of the hard drive except the OS.

    1 how many partitions you have?

    Please follow the methods.

    Method 1

    If you have only one partition, in this case you will need to manually remove data that you don't want.

    To uninstall the programs that you do not use, see the link.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307895

    You can also run Disk Cleanup tool, that helps you free up space on your hard drive

    See the link.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310312

     

    Method 2:

    If you use multiple partitions, you can go ahead and format drives, except the partition where you installed OS.

    NOTE: formatting the drive will remove all data and software installed on your computer.

  • T61p how can I back up my hard drive

    <->Hello

    My laptop out of no where would not turn on and exposes the 1 long beep and 2 short beeps with a white screen. He is 5 years old and started to act a little, so I had to replace anyway, but my question is how can I save my drive hard if I can't turn on your computer?

    I read somewhere there is some type of adapter under $ 10 that plugs directly into the hard drive and then I can plug in my desktop computer... anyone know if this is true and this which is called the cord I need? Or how I could do to get my files on my hard drive?

    Thank you.

    Note of the moderator; subject published

    Will need you a 2.5 "USB to SATA external enclosure. You can buy some fees at most computer stores, for example the selection to computers Canada. 2 USB works perfectly although you can spend a little more for the newer and more fast USB 3 which will be on your new computer.

    Once you have moved the disc again case simply plug into a USB port as if it were a USB flash drive. The operating system will recognize it, install the necessary drivers and allow you to access the help of Windows Explorer or similar.

    (Note that this assumes that you does not have a hard drive on the old disk T61p password.)

  • How can I back up my hard drive?

    I can't find the command for the backup of my hard drive.  I have an external hard drive ready to receive content from my pc.  I can't find the command.

    It seems that you are referring to the native backup program in Windows XP. Do not use! It is very problematic.

    Since you want to back up the entire hard drive, you will need to use a third-party software and an external hard drive as the destination for the files in the archive you create. There are a number of programs that create images of entire hard disk (or partitions, if you prefer). I've had positive experiences with Acronis True Image Home. Others have said positive things about Paragon.

    Here's a tutorial on the use of Acronis:

    In here is a free (but limited) imaging program called DriveImageXML:

  • Can I add a second hard drive on the Qosmio X 500-12 q?

    Hello
    I would like to know if its possible to add a second hard drive to the X 500-12 q?
    I suppose that space is available, but I would like to know whether the connector is here & all
    I could just open the case and plug it in.

    Thank you

    In the document s user manuals I have not found something on HD upgrade so I m really don't know if this will be possible.
    Anyway, as Jeka wrote, remove the HARD drive cover and check if there is place for second HARD drive and also necessary SATA connector.

    I have older 300 x and there is room for two drives.

  • How can I change primary H hard drive c?

    Recently, I had a disk failure hard and after installation to a new hard drive and reinstall all the software I found that the hard drive was affected as H c not. So far this has not been a problem because everything worked correctly. Now I want to install a new piece of software, but before I load it I get a download from the manufacturer's website. When I try this it will only download on the C drive and there is no way to change this.

    So, how can I change my c: drive? I tried under storage disk management in the computer management, but it will not allow a change.

    I am running Windows XP pro with all the updates.

    Let's try this via the disk part control

    (a) click Start and in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

    (b) at the command prompt, type diskpart , and then on enter.

    (c) type list disk and press ENTER. A list of available hard disks.

    (d) type salt disc number and press ENTER . Number is the number of the hard disk where you want to reduce; the hard drive is now selected.

    (e) type det disk , and then press ENTER .

    (f) type salt volume number and press ENTER . Number is the number of the volume that we want to reduce

    (g) type shrink desired = 1000 (reduced the volume of 1000 Mb) and wait until the action is performed

  • Satellite 2450-101: can I run recovery external HARD drive or USB key using

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite 2450-101, on which the DVD player seems to have failed (could be engine, laser; uncertain).

    I want to perform a full restore of the product, using both disks that came with the computer.
    Defective hard drives before, I copied the data on these disks to an external hard drive and a usb flash drive.

    Is it possible for me to run the recovery of the proceeds of one of these media (or indeed any source, other than the internal DVD player)?

    Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. See you soon.

    > Is it possible for me to run the recovery of the proceeds of one of these media (or indeed any source, other than the internal DVD player)?
    Hmmm I doubt that this can be possible because it is not possible to boot from a USB flash or external HARD disk drive.

    What you could do is to copy the folder the original Microsoft CD i386 on the HARD drive and then you can run setup.exe from this folder.
    It would begin installing the XP installation program.

    But Toshiba Recovery disk contains only image files and there is no i386 folder and therefore, you need the CD of XP Ms.
