How to install a second Cd/Dvd writier

I am wanting to install a second CD/DVD burner. I slipped in the slot and connected the sata cable. Just find an unused Jack to the power Jack? It seems logical to me, but I just bought a new computer and don't want bumble.

Hello

You're basically right, so it's just to confirm.  Before you start, make sure the full powers to the computer has been disconnected and you put yourself in the Earth or wear an anti-static strap.

1. install the CD/DVD drive in a free Bay on the disc

2. connect the SATA cable on your CD/DVD drive and connect the other end to the next available on your motherboard SATA connector.

3 connect the power connector (there will probably be a spare one room very close to the power connector is plugged into your existing drive).

That's probably all you have to do, and Windows will detect your new drive as soon as you start up.  If by chance it isn't, you may need to enter your system Bios in order to activate the new SATA connection.

Hope everything goes well.

    best regards Frank

    Hello

    At the bottom of the unit, you will find two bays for HARD drives. Right?
    But a Bay does contain all the connectors? Right?

    At first glance, this might be a little strange, but the fact is that the different models of Satellite P200/P200D were available on the market with different motherboards.

    Some would argue a 2nd HARD drive but some don t units. But all models supports the same low coverage and some people think that a 2nd HARD drive would be possible, what's not.

    Hello

    As far as I know you can build in a second HDD, but it must be defined as the slave HARD drive. If your has been defined as master he can be a problem, because in your case, there are two disks HARD masters.

    One of my friends already tried that, and it had success just at the moment where 2nd HARD drive has the same capacity as the first. Two of them were with a capacity of 80 GB.

    Configure the other as a slave, and then try again. If you have success, let me know.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro P300-1F1 - how to install a second HDD?

    Hello

    I would like to install a second hard drive to my Satellite Pro P300-1F1.

    I would like to know if I need a "cellar" special to set the hard drive inside the Bay? Where could I get such a thing in Germany (near Cologne)?

    On the inside of the drive Bay cover HARD are four plastic pins that are so long that it is impossible to close the cover when a hard drive is built in.
    What I have to just shorten or do I need a new cover or pins work like a kind of attachment?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Is there a connector from the HARD drive in the second span?

    If this isn't the case, then you can not install a HARD drive in any case. The second span is because he shares a common design with models that have a second HDD of the factory.

  • Satellite A350 - how to install a second HDD?

    Hallo

    I have a laptop, A350-13I. The laptop has a slot to install a second hard drive, but there is no connector for it. Does anyone know what changes are needed to install a second hard drive?

    Hello

    The answer is quite simple: you can do anything!

    The reason you have a second slot without connector are that some models are equipped with a second HARD drive and other models not I think.

    The fact is that you can t add second disk of your laptop.
    If you need more disk space, you can use a larger HARD drive or external DRIVE for the data disk.

    What parts do I have to mount to place a second drive that they are held in stock by out of the local computer and are quite cheap, can someone advise me on part numbers etc of the bits I need.
    Thank you

    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.

  • How to install a second drive on my XP...

    I recently reinstalled windows XP on my computer and I realized that there is only a single drive (drive C). I have not install another.is it's too late to do it now? Please, I beg you. I will appreciate any help I can get... Thank you...

    You can reduce your C: partition, then add an another partition/drive. So that you can reinstall XP to do this, it is easier to use a Windows XP partitioning program.

    EASEUS Partition Master (free):

    Includes Partition Manager, Disk & Partition copy Wizard and Partition Recovery Wizard for Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit). It allows users to resize/move Partition, drive system extend, copy Disk & Partition, Partition merge, Split Partition, redistribute free space, convert dynamic disk, Partition Recovery and more.

    Or if you want a separate physical hard drive you can open the computer and connect a second drive to the computer.

  • Satellite A350-122 - how to install the second HARD drive?

    Hello

    I'm a french owner of an A350-122 (serial no: 39169719K)

    In the french of the manual user, page 1-5, it is written that it is possible to insert another disc hard, and on page 2-6, the rear of the A350-122 view shows a second branch on the left for a second hard drive.

    So, I bought an SSD Intel X 25-M to put in the second location. I opened the second location and there is nothing: no sata, no power connector connector, only a location empty.

    So, what's the problem with this Satellite A350-122?

    Thank you for your response.

    Hey Buddy,

    I agree with the user above. Not all Satellite A350 models support a second HDD. The point is that laptops are country specific products and this feature is not available everywhere. In addition, all models A350 by using the same notebook case in order to have a crack but no connector.

    In any case, you can use t a second HDD. :(

  • How to install a second drive?

    I just got my Media Hub with a 1 TB drive.  I also ordered a 2nd 1 TB drive that will happen tomorrow.  It is preferable to perform the initial installation with the new 2nd drive installed?   Or is it better to do the installation of intitial without the new 2nd drive and the installation program configures the 2nd player after that first hard drive was?

    I think that its best to set up the mediahub with a disc hard first, then add 2nd hard drive later.
