• How to activate the faults COMMITTED to an internal SATA hard drive, but not the other, on Vista Home Premium 32-bit?

  I have a set of 17-inch laptop 2008 which contains two hard drive bays internal, purchased in June.  It came with a single hard drive (traditional spinning disc).  It is running Service Pack 2, Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

  My SATA controller is an Intel 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M family); I think it's a first-generation SATA controller (1.5 Gbps).

  I received recently a 160 GB Intel X - 25 M SSD (second generation SATA, but it is fully compatible with the first generation controllers, without additional or jumpers configuration) as a gift from my wife.  I removed my first hard drive completely, installed the SSD in the main Bay and installed Windows, drivers and the Intel SSD utility.  I then reinstalled my HDD original in the second span, completely wiped and reformatted it as a partition; It currently contains my music and other multimedia files.

  The utility Intel SSD tells me I should activate DIPM for my SSD as opposed to HIPM.  This seems to take a bit of tinkering to make Vista, and my situation is further complicated by the presence of my HARD drive (original) secondary, which prefer to use HIPM.

  I read the article on the Microsoft Web site on editing the registry to activate the misconduct, and it's something I would feel comfortable doing. However, I don't want my SSD to use DIPM, my HARD drive is expected to continue to use HIPM, and I was afraid that the proposed fix would allow the misconduct for all readers.

  Could someone let me know how I can activate DIPM for my SSD while continuing to use HIPM to my HARD drive, I'd be very grateful.

  EDIT: My Maintenance of SSD utility said simply that the State of the settings DIPM/HIPM "could not be determined." if Vista automatically selects the correct setting and the SSD utility does not just understand that, which makes my life a lot easier. but it would be nice to know for sure, so I can forget it all (if Vista already defined for me) or change the setting (if Vista did not automatically choose food appropriate for each disk management mode).

  You will need two SATA controllers: both on board or an edge and the other on PCI - E.

  Configure one who does not need TRIM/DIPM (do not use a SSD) as non-AHCI (compatible IDE/ATA-6) in the BIOS and the other (where TRIM/DIPM will be used) as AHCI.

  Connect the drive to which you DIPM AHCI controller. See http://www.abxzone.com/forums/f155/tip-how-enable-dipm-ssds-windows-120968.html for more information.

• Drive vs hard internal external hard drive

  Hello

  I remember reading that it is always recommended to have the library in an external drive to avoid the BONES and FCPX compete for resources.

  I have an external drive of Thunderbolt and a SSD internal. If the Blackmagic disk speed Test is to be believed, my SSD is incomparably faster for reading and writing as the Thunderbolt HARD disk.

  Even in this case, it is always recommended to keep the library in the external hard drive?

  What is the SSD? How much work you have to do with how the media? I guess that the SSD is the system drive and running the system, but also other software. That's a lot of file exchange course cluttering up this drive. For smaller projects, the SSD would be great.

• How to delete hard drive partitions

  Can someone help to give me advice on how to remove my hard drive on my Satellite 2520 partitions? Partitions only appeared after using the system now recovery disk, I have c:d:e: disc where as before didn't the c: folder. This caused me problems when you try to install programs like not enough space available now.

  Hi Luke,.

  Your recovery CD has two options for the installation of your system. The first option is just to format your hard drive and then install a single partion \C: on which your operating system is mounted. The second option is "Advanced" installation in which you can partition your hard drive in any format you want so that you end up with a multiple logical disks \C:, \D:. \E: etc.

  The second option is preferred by many users because it allows them to keep their user data on a separate partition of their operating system.

  As for your problem, you might return to a partition of acronym of re-installing your recovery CD by using the "standard installation", as described above, but then you lose one of your own stuff, unless you save first. Alternatively, you can get a copy of a third-party utility (for example, PartionMagic) to reformat your existing installation.

  My personal preference would be a re - install from your recovery CD, but this will depend on how much you have added to your system, since you installed it last.

• What needs to install a second hard drive in the XPS 410 desktop computer

  I want to install an internal drive repaired as a second drive in my office, so I can recover the data. A few threads in this area and I see support. Would just need a SATA HD cable? The power cable would already be there?

  userx_076

  Requires addititional hard drive, a SATA data cable and a power connector SATA, the default XPS 410 has a SATA power connector power to spare for a second hard drive.

  You will need to buy a SATA data cable, probably a 24 "x 90 * [square] x 180 * right SATA cable, similar to the cable as shown here:"

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16812816303

  The procedures to install a second HD are here, on page 30:

• Adding a DVD - RW drive for a XPS 8700.

  I just bought an XPS 8700 provided with Windows 7 (my choice) and one disc of 12 x DVD - RW. This machine replaces a decade old Dimension 8400.  I want to add a second DVD disc to avoid the shuffle of disk by making copies.

  The last time I did was when they were still using old PATA drives where the drive data cable was the old ribbon cable and you used a splitter to the power cable.

  I have never installed a SATA drive so I have a few questions.  When I order my second drive, what wires I need to complete the installation - or is all the wiring already in the computer?

  One last question is the format used in the 8700 XPS and how to remove the coup de grace in the drive Bay?

  Thanks for any advice - Tom

  You need to buy a DVD/RW SATA drive 5.25 "similar on the drive shown here:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16827106289

  A data SATA 18 "cable is necessary, there should be a spare cable/power connector SATA inside of the case for a second optical drive.

  One end of the SATA data cable is connected to the optical drive and the other to a SATA connector located on the motherboard [page 13].

  Two 6-32 X 1/4 screws are necessary to install the drive in the Bay.

  The installation procedures of the player can be found here:

• Satellite A300 - how to start HARD drive recovery after own OS insatallation

  Hi guys.

  I have a question.
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista.
  Normally I have the recovery with the normally pre-installed utility partition.
  After that I formatted the system partition, I installed a clean and fresh Windows 7 copy.

  My question is this.
  Since the recovery partition does not get soiled with, is there not a way to install the disk recovery utility hard back in recovery of Windows of F8 before the boot options?

  Please don't tell me that I need to have the recovery disk.
  I already did, I just want to find a solution because it is not that hard for someone who accidentally formatted the system partition and had not created the disks, but the recovery partition. My guess is to do some modifications in the files of the Windows recovery environment that are launched when you use the option to repair my computer at startup, because normally, HARD drive recovery utility appears as one of its tools-options.

  The problem is that I don't have to where these files are, maybe (C:\boot?)
  Currently, I am trying to see if a facility upgrade of windows 7 on windows vista will keep options for hard drive recovery then maybe I will find what it takes.

  All suggestions are welcome!
  Thank you for your time.

  OK, just a hint more, I found what is happening with the recovery environment, and which must be replaced to include more tools...
  This article was really helpful:
  http://www.techplat.com/2010/02/12/how-to-replace-default-Windows-7-recovery-environment-in-diagnostic-and-recovery-toolset/

• How to add hard drive for HP Envy Phoenix 810-135qe CTO.

  My previous Pavalion motherboard failed and I ordered the current desktop.  I have the hard drive of the defective system.  He had the same operating system, windows 7, 64 bit, like this again.  I know some information about adding HDD to envy again.  No info on the motherboard or connections.  P5 and P6 power connectors are avilable for additional hard disks.  I see there are some open sata connectors on the motherboard, but need more info and direction on which one to use, or if things do, etc..  before I add the hard drive.

  Use any header open SATA on the motherboard that you want to use. As long as you don't make changes to the current boot order in the BIOS and save the changes, it will not count.
