• Satellite P300-16 t - adding a second drive HARD-success!

  I have added a second hard drive today for my Toshiba P300-16 t.

  I realized that I had a Toshiba SATA drive in a USB disk device that would spare - 250 gb.

  I improvised by removing the feet spread on the cover of the second cage to hard disk using a sharp knife. I put the Bank in place ensuring maximum safety. I also used a heat-resistant material (say what) to secure the drive up as readers are rarer than hen's teeth. I made sure that the reader also had room to breathe. The cover was then released and I turned on my computer and it found the new HDD, the installed drivers at home but hey presto! Another 250 GB to play with.

  Now, I did it is because I call four FSA in the United Kingdom but they weren't any help by providing a cage for the second disc.
  Two said they only deal with businesses and not individuals.
  Others have said that they only provide power cables and batteries!
  Hope that my Tosh never goes down and I must use their services...

  Anyway, I don't recommend anyone do what I just - it is possible if you are a bit adventurous...

  Have you used the Hotglue?

  Surely, you can get the FSA HARD drive media. Unless there is a global shortage on cradles P300: p

• Problem adding a second drive to VM after P2V using Stand Alone inverter

  Hello

  Let me preface this with anguish and you say how much of a hassle it has been from the beginning.

  We owe to P2V a server having a 25gig main drive and a 8gig of secondary disk for data. We had to move the files a long distance with the help of FTP, so offers them to us in some regions, by ensuring that all files have reached their proper destination.

  We have the files downloaded in the SAN and much to my surprise, the second disc of data showed as a *-flat.vmdk file without header hard file. I opened the browser and the virtual machine added to the inventory, but couldn't turn on with the second disc attached. I removed the second disk of the virtual machine and it has started well. But now I have a car I can access.

  I would like to convert the *-file flat.vmdk to work hard file but I'm not sure how with my limited resources. I don't have the vSphere client to work with. I downloaded the RCLI for vSphere but I have to be honest, I'm not very good with scripts.

  I tried following this tutorial: http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1002511

  But the notes are asking me to use the console, which I do not have access with 4 ESXi and vSphere Client.

  Attached is the original .vmx file that was created during the P2V

  You will also find a screeshot of the files I work with that

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Welcome to the communities.

  You can run through to revive the P2V conversion and just select the second drive. It's probably the easiest get right.

• Adding a second drive to my Optiplex 755

  I bought an Optiplex 755 renovated a few months back that came with a floppy (really?). I decided to add a second drive, so I removed the disk and put a Seagate 750 GB drive in its place. I entered the program installation and active the drive, rebooted, went back into the Setup program to verify that the disc was recognized that it was. BUT now, whenever I restart the machine, I have the black screen with the following text:

  Replacing the HARD drive is not valid, continued use can lead to long-term reliability problems HDD please press that F1 in you want to continue.

  It also gives me the choice to press F1 to continue, F2 to enter setup or on F5 to run tests.

  I press F1 and it starts normally.

  My question is how or what I do to eliminate this black screen? Because if I restart and let the system is here and waiting forever.

  Thanks for your help.

  The DT, SFF, USFF systems REQUIRE specific Western Digital or SAMSUNG drive model. Replacing the HARD drive is not valid is specific to 745 and 755 SFF and ULTRA-COMPACT systems.

  The DT, SFF, USFF models will have a thermal message.  The model of the Tower does not care the drive Type.  This is due to "thermal considerations.

  

  Desktop Dell 755 is configured to reject anything but a hard drive Western Digital or Samsung, claiming that it is due to "thermal considerations.  This is for Desktop and SFF and ULTRA-COMPACT models.

• Adding a second drive to a dv7-2180us

  I recently bought a new dv7-2180us to replace my older zv5000 of 5 years who has been/is having supply problems. I want to take the drive of the zv5000 and place as a 2nd hard drive in the new laptop (mainly because I don't want to have to fight to keep the old lit long enough to transfer files). Is it possible to do so, and if so do I need something more to mount the drive.

  Thanks for any help.

  Not exactly. The drive is not compatible with the equipment of the new HP. (IDE connector old to a more recent IDE to Sata connector.)

  You could get an external enclosure and get this support, or you could get a cable adapter, like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812156015

  I recommend the latter, myself. I have one and it works fantastic for information on older hard drives. It does not have technical knowledge to use, but I think you could probably understand.

• New HP and adding a second hard drive

  Just bought a HP Pavilion HPE h8xt, will, adding a second drive, and once that happens, the warranty? The second hard disk will be the data from my old computer and serve storage.

  Hi TIF

  Who should not void the warranty unless you damage the hardware while making it... for not to spill a drink on your PC

  Here is a support document which should help you to install the second disk hard after PC arrives:

• HP Pavilion 510n - adding the Second hard drive?

  A few questions...

  1. is there a size limit for any player second, I would like to add?

  2. What is the procedure for adding the second disc?

  -J' added a second drive to an OLD pc before and it involved linking the second slot on an IDE cable, change the jumper on the slave drive settings, and modify the bios settings... it would be similar?

  Hello TSobiech, it is always best to ask to order a part that is not compatible with a certain system.

  The hard disk that you show the link should work perfectly. Even if it's an ATA100, and your system supports ATA33/66, this disc should still work but will be downclocked to ATA66 speed.

  Here is another link to a 250 GB IDE HDD if you might be interested.

  You won't notice much, if any, degradation in performance to the difference in speed. These IDE drives are higher than the price a SATA with the same capacity, but they are becoming harder to find.

  Since you want to be using as operating in car system, but just a backup drive, they want to make a difference.

  If you want to make use of the full speed of ATA100, you could add a map of IDE controller supporting ATA100, but I really don't think it would.

  Since you mentioned the intermediate layer of IDE as not being used, you can connect the new drive to this connector.

  Now, there are a few things that you should check that you install the new hard drive. These are the connectors of jumper on hard drives.

  This is the very small plastic with metal inserts, at the end of the hard drive where are the other connectors.

  I always use the CSEL (CS) on two hard drives. Readers may already have jumpers to this setting (jumpers connection), but if not, you must set two hard drives the selection of cables (CS).

  Since the current IDE hard drive is the boot hard drive and an ATA66, it must be connected to thin ribbon cable connector, as it is now, and the new hard drive attached to the middle connector IDE. The slowest speed of the two hard drives will result in two hard drives running at the slower of the two speeds. It will work very well.

  You need to partition and format the new hard disk before it can be used. This can be done from Windows if necessary.

  I hope this helps.

  Hello

  The following manual will answer most of your questions:

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04091762.PDF

  1. not all the RAM sticks are the same. My suggestion to use Crucial to get the right result:

  http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/memory-info

  2 Max is 16 GB as mentioned on page 2 of the manual,

  3. as #1 above.

  4. all standard SSD can do, you can see as Crucial to the right, and you can buy on Amazon after obtaining the right of Crucial.

  Finally, you need ONLY the caddy if your goal is to install 500GB SSD on the second span.

  Kind regards.

• 15 clicks Ghost Envy TouchSmart

  Hello

  I need to make this folder somewhere - thing

  My HP Envy TouchSmart E3S19UAR 15 had a problem of ghost-click with the touch screen from the first day. I did all this as recommended on these forums (and), including all updates, reinstall crushed, blah blah blah. Even sure my screen is clean and all other physical possibilities are excluded.

  The problem, like many others on these forums, comes after Windows puts the system to sleep. This happened under Windows 8.0 and continues under Windows 8.1. It goes right now.

  For some time, I thought the problem was solved - but then this weekend, my battery died suddenly. You see, in order to solve the problem, I had changed my setting of the system of 'Always On' power and changed other settings that Windows has gone to sleep. To realize that, I changed power settings back to "sleep mode"... and of course, in the awakening of his first sleep in a few months, ghost-clicks of the system started up again.

  This is why I write - I am a few hours away from my expiring warranty (it is daylight saving time of 22:00, 20:00 for the time zone apparently used here). People of guaranteed phone HP just me transferred to the support paid and was told that the warranty service would not help. The website of HP warranty, confirms nevertheless that I am still under warranty. (Yes, I have screenshots and documents printed with the stamps).

  So I intend to continue tonight if I can and certainly tomorrow (Monday) when there is hope that American support. Since I don't know how else to do this thing on the record, I post here.

  Please help, someone from hp. I'll call.

  Thank you.

• Upgrade of an ENVY TouchSmart 17-j005ea

  I plan to replace my Dell with what would be my first HP laptop (a 17-j005ea ENVY TouchSmart), but I'm not sure if I would be able to upgrade.

  I'd be looking to replace one of the hard drives with a SDD and replace the DVD drive with Blu - ray burner, but I heard that the upgrade can be a problem with some HP laptops.

  These upgrades would be not possible for a person with basic experience of the PC?  (I create my own desktops and have upgraded discs and memory on Dell laptops without difficulty.)

  Depends on how you define the problem. Here's an announced a swap and go for replacement:

• Windows 8 or 8.1 update? HP ENVY TouchSmart all-in - One desktop PC 23-d260qd

  I just bought the HP ENVY TouchSmart all-in-One desktop PC 23-d260qd and it happens today. I wonder if it is better to upgrade to Windows 8.1 instead of windows 8. It seems that several people had problems with the upgrade. I just got my computer today and have yet to open the box, but I wanted to know what OS is better and how I would go about updating Windows 8.1 must be optimal. My computer specs are below:

  • 64-bit Windows 8
  • • 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7 - 3770S processor [3.1 GHz, 8 MB of shared cache]
  • • 1 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT610M [DX 11, 3. 0a MXM]
  • • 12GB DDR3 1600 MHz SODIMM [DIMM 2]
  • • 2 TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
  • • Microsoft Office Trial

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help!

  Create a recovery disk set before even considering the upgrade.

  If you are not yet accustomed to Windows 8, then give yourself a little time to get familiar with before committing to an upgrade to Windows 8.1.

  I prefer the upgrade of Windows 8.1, in particular the return of the Start button, it is not the same as the Start button was before Windows 8.

  Important factors for Windows 8.1 are available on the web support download portal for your PC.
