• install the new hard drive on the dv7

  So I'm about to install a new hard drive in my dv7, but remove the battery cover, then said drag training with tap pull on the reader, but does not move any direction. I have never replaced a front disc on my laptop and do not want to damage anything. But what am I I miss it please help.

  Thank you

  Ken

  Kenny sent me a personal massage with his problem on how to remove the hard drive, so it was my response to him. Finally the problem was the tab which had to be pulled to remove the drive was hidden below, there was nothing to shoot. For someone who never removed a hard disk, this would not be an obvious thing to understand.

  There are a whole bunch of pictures that I sent to him I thought to be very useful here. The photos are of a dv8.

  It should be just sitting there. You have a digital camera. If you do I will help you with the steps to upload a few photos so I can see what is happening. What is your new model number. You can also use a small screwdriver to lift gently over the blue of Assembly seats.

  Hi, Jeremy:

  You can call HP and see what they have to say about SATA II/III, but I think that if your laptop is not under warranty you could get pay for technical assistance.

  I have never installed a secondary HARD drive in the notebook, so I don't know what port you plug the other end of the cable in.

  The problem is there are 2 configurations dv7 is why there are 2 different cables to the HARD drive.

  I think this post might answer your question: read the info of the carloprimo. It shows where to connect the other end of the cable into your model.

  Finally, it is my pleasure to be able to help the people on the forum free HP.

  I am very pleased that you appreciate my help, and that's enough thank you.

• Pavilion dv7-4000 1 replacement of hard drives with more

  I have a dv7-4000 series double portable hard drive running windows 7 64 bit. One of the drives died and I am looking to buy a replacement and want to upgrade, but I'm not sure if I have 2 hard disks of different sizes.

  (1) can I replace factory bad HARD drive with a larger 320? (I'd then 1 factory 320 GB drive and 1 car again, more)

  (2) is the brand of the material of hard drive (Toshiba courses)?

  (3) are there any specific specs I should look for or avoid (ie. rpm, Gbps, etc.)?

  Hi wweksjk! : Yes, you can have 2 HD with different capacities for example on my PC of Xion MSI, which was built in 2006, I had 2 HD Western Digital, respectively 160 GB & 250 GB divided into 3 partitions

  the brand name is not as important as the number of turns faster the car turns your computer will be faster

  also look at the size of the buffer on the disk as well because the more it will speed up the boot time as well

  However install a new drive as boot drive will be complex, but if you follow the instructions that come with the HD installer it is possible

  for example, a 7200 RPM drive is faster than a 5400 RPM, but not as fast as a model k 10 or 15 k

  Good luck

  hope this helps to & help

  Happy holidays!

• HP m9340f, install a second SATA hard drive

  Hello!  I tried to install a second SATA hard drive in my m9340f without success.  It is a 2 TB SATA drive, it should be compatible, but on the power of the system will not even to the last POST.  No message screen or the BIOS errors.  When I disconnect and remove the new drive, the system is back to normal.

  Anyone have any success installing disks second in this model of HP?  This is the first record additional SATA hard I never put in a system, then am I missing a step?

  Thank you!

  Thank you all for the quick responses!

  I was able to fix this by taking two actions:

  (1) I applied an update for my BIOS.

  (2) I went to a reader from different manufacturers.  A Hitachi 2 TB drive did not work, but a Western Digital works perfectly on the first attempt.  It was with the same cable and connection of motherboard that has not worked for Hitachi.

  Please mark this as resolved issue.

  Best regards

• 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.

• Install a secondary hard drive

  I have a small form factor and want to install a second hard disk in the optical drive.

  The new Seagate drive came with all the SATA cables. and the optical drive cable usual additional split from him. One of these cards is part of the new drive, but one that goes to the motherboard is too short to reach the appropriate connector. Seems that I just need a very short extension, but when I do my shopping for one I'm overwhelmed by a mess of all sorts of types of plug SATA cables and cable whose pictures are not clear enough for me to recognize exactly what I need.
  
  Can someone advise me please I need re this plug on each end, as well as the extension of better quality? Guidance appreciated.
  
  Clueless in Cableland,
  Rob

  Hi, Rob:

  I don't know what you plug installed on the hard drive, but like I said if it was the biggest power supply sata plug, I think what you need is then the sata data cable.

  One with a female end straight to the motherboard and the other female 90 degrees on the hard drive.

  SATA cable speed ratings do not matter.  Just get one that will reach from the motherboard to the hard drive.

  

• Satellite A200-193 - installing an extra HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A200-193 and I would like to install one additional go 160 HARD drive into the free location.
  The problem is that there is no SATA connector to this place (switch on the motherboard, not more).
  I know there are computer A200 laptop with a second HDD and my question is "if I go into an official TOSHIBA Service Center, it is possible to install a SATA connector in this free site, this is to allow the installation of additional HARD drive?

  If someone could help me on this point, it would be great.

  Thank you.

  Hi Mathieu

  I see that you are a bit confused ;)
  As you known t n, there are probably different Satellite A200 series a series helps the second HARD drive upgrade and some A200 series cannot be upgraded
  But the A200 series was equipped with the same laptop covers

  This means that you will find the second drive HARD on all mobile A200 Bay but the drive HARD (SATA) connectors don t exist on each series.
  It seems that your laptop cannot be upgraded with the second HARD disk because of the second missing HARD drive interface.

  I hope I can clarify this confusing question ;)

  Good bye

• Qosmio F30 - installing the new hard drive

  Hello

  I just installed a new hard drive on my Qosmio F30 - he came originally only with a 60 GB hard drive.

  The second disc is identical to the first in every way, i.e. of 60 GB drive Toshiba.

  I initialized the new drive and it also shows online and unallocated. I want to use the reader to basically increase my quality, not like a mirror and so chose this option using the RAID Utility.

  However when I expelore the C drive, it shows than the total capacity of the drives as 60 GB. I guess that both drives should be showing as a player, like 120 GB.

  The drive works properly?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can check in the BIOS if the second HDD is recognized correctly

  As you say you don t want to use a mirror mode, but then you must set the RAID0 stripping!

  Please also check the settings of the BIOS RAID!

  At page 242 user manual you will find all the details on the different options and what they are for

  You must open the Windows disk management console, then format the drive for use in the system.  You can find more information on this process here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-format-hard-disk-partition#create-format-hard-disk-partition=windows-7

• After installing a new HARD drive, I get a screen "control i to access the configuration utility.

  Help?

  I installed a new HARD drive on my xps 15 because the old drive crashed. Everything works fine and the system boots perfectly. Before entering the Dell splash screen, the screen "control i to access the configuration utility" appears for 5 seconds. After that, the normal boot sequence resumes. Can someone please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do about it?

  Here is a link to the screen I get started: http://s102.photobucket.com/user/alexcinie/media/photo_zpsb75f0a7f.jpg.html

  The mSATA drive is used as a cache for the hard drive dynamic - these are essentially implemented in a RAID 0 array.  See the link below (it is for Alienware, but applies to your system as well).

  If you want to keep the disk cache, you need to configure the array as shown.

• HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

  Hello

  HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

  I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

  I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

  Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

  Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

  You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

  Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

  Hi Defiant1950,

  To add more hard disk space, the simplest method is to attach an external hard drive. If you add an external hard disk, it can't function as your primary hard disk where you install Windows, but you can use it as a secondary disk to store programs and files. Adding an external hard drive is a good way to create plenty of extra space to store the digital photos, videos, music and other files that require a large amount of disk space.

  To install an external hard drive, all you have to do is plug it into your computer and connect the power supply cable. Most of these hard disks plug into a USB port, but some connect to a Firewire (also known as IEEE 1394) or external SATA (eSATA) port. For additional instructions, see the documentation that came with your external hard drive. You will also need to install a software that came with the hard drive.
