• Pavilion 500-098: adding hard drive, but no 2nd hard drive Bay

  I want to add a second internal hard drive to this computer, but unfortunately the computer has only a hard drive Bay. There is plenty of space for a second hard drive, I thought that I would put the player in the unused space, setting in place somehow so that it does not move. I know I could install an external hard drive, but prefer to have an internal hard drive. The power supply has a supplement of power supply (unused) harddrive.  The motherboard is a Joshua-H61-Μatx. It has 4 SATA connections on it.  SATA0 is connected to the hard drive, SATA2 is connected to the DVD player. SATA1 and SATA3 are free. My idea of adding a second hard drive without a second HDD Bay would work?

  Hi @Fraser11,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support.   I believe that since the departure of the power supply in your Pavilion 500-076ea that your hard drive is no longer detected.   I am convinced that I will be able to help you find a solution, and I ask only that pay you it forward. When solve us the problem, I would mark you kindly post as accept as Solution so that others have the same or similar problem can find what worked for you.

  Please use the document of replacement of the power supply HP and Compaq Desktop PCs as a checklist to make sure that nothing was missed when you have replaced the power supply.  From my experience, most of the time when this error occurs after the replacement of the power supply there is a cable that is not properly plugged.

  Please let me know the results.

• HP pavilion 500-281 adding second drive

  New HP Clubhouse 500 arrived today.

  I have the sata pc win7 with m.b. blown off the power drive

  When I plug in the sata, PC does not recognize the second disk?

  If I connect it to my Dell with Win7, recognized instantly, so I do understand not (computer management/disk management)

  STD sata drive W/D 1 TB harddrive

  If I want to boot from a USB key, I can't get my PC to recognize. I thought I could just go to Configuration and change the sequence of boot for sandisk usb is selected? But at least computer/manage/diskmgmt shows the usb key.

  Doesn't seem to change the boot, he wants to just go into windows?

  Thank you, Howie

  It was again being shipped with TPG/GUID/UEFI PC.

  Unfortunately, this makes it almost impossible to restore a hard disk MBR or install linux dual boot.

  Using Paragon Hard Drive Manager 14, I was able to convert the old UEFI/GPT disk and can start, at least as long, that's not the hard drive of the o/s. So, I can access its files, but not in the registry.

  This also explains why I couldn't even boot with my USB (MBR) hard drive attached.

• Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?

  Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?  The bios is version v3.26, and the operating system is XP with SP3.  40 gig HD is full and you are looking to replace it but do not know what the size limit is with this bios version.

  Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion a705w desktop. This is based on the assumption that you converted the 5 and 0 and the fact that you mentioned a 40 GB hard drive.

  You already have the most current version of the BIOS of your computer and running the most recent service pack of Windows XP. Your computer and the operating system should support a drive of 500 GB without problem. The only problem is that your computer isn't any SATA ports, only 66/100 IDE (PATA). Look at local retailers and online for the IDE drives.

• HP Pavilion dv7t 3300: replacing hard drive SSD with the recovery DVD

  My Pavilion dv7t3300 has two hard drives... A SATA 500 GB of data and an SSD 128 GB containing the operating system and other programs.   The SSD drive that contains the operating system failed.  When I install the replacement SSD, I intend to use the HP System recovery DVD (2) which came with the unit.  If I load the recovery disks will be erase/format all my data-files in the 500 GB drive.

  The new drive is "naked".

  Thank you for your help

  Tim

  I just remove the second disk while making the recovery operation and slap it in when the process is complete. Better safe than sorry. Theoretically, the recovery disks will not affect the second drive, but it's really easy to be sure that they will not be 100%.

• Toshiba 500 GB external HARD drive is no longer detected - after only 1 hour

  Hey,.

  I finally got my Toshiba 500 GB external hard drive delivered today. I had no problem setting up and to turn my laptop on, it immediately recognized and I started to transfer things for her.

  However, I accidentally stood on the USB cable to the HARD drive and disconnected. I plugged it in, but my computer did not recognize.

  Nothing I've tried has worked, always, the laptop does not recognize the hard drive.

  Please help, I've only had the one hour thing, and it already does not work! I really hope that I have not only lost £56...

  All advice is appreciated, thanks in advance.

  NEW: My father just tried plugging the HARD drive in the desktop PC is on the ground, and as soon as the USB when it is in the port, you stop the computer... causing him to lose a lot of important business email, he wrote. It starts the computer, the USB and you stop again... and this has happened 3 times until he gave up. What on Earth is wrong with this thing? I've never heard of a USB cable, stop a computer permanently, or a hard drive that does more after an hour of use...

  The USB port on the HARD drive may have been damaged and may be causing the PC detect a short power.

  You can try another USB cable? If it is not the cable, then the HARD drive should be sent to a Service Center for repair or replacement.

• Need help with USB 3.0 on desktop Pavilion 500-214

  I am currently the owner of desktop HP Pavilion 500-214.

  I noticed that the USB 3.0 ports do not seem to work.  Tried with 2 different brands of USB cables now.

  I connect my Samsung S5 with USB 3.0 desktop.  It connects to the 3.0 for a few seconds and then gives the message "cannot connect USB 3.0 devices.

  Does anyone else have this problem?  If so, how to fix?  Or the troubleshooting steps that you might suggest?

  Help, please.  Thank you.

  "So there is no way to use USB 3.0" so it seems.  It is a problem of Samsung and Windows 10 and not HP

  When Samsung found a solution, then it will be OK.

• Pavillion 500-214: I have a HP Pavilion 500-214 and need to upgrade the power supply to support a new video card

  I'm upgrading my video card, and the other needs at least 400w.  The existing PSU is only 300w.  What is a power supply compatible to be installed in the Pavilion 500-214?

  Well, we meet again.

  While the minimum requirement is power for most video cards 400W, I always offer at least 500W; 600W is even better.  This will allow a high maximum operating power.  A modular power supply is good in a medium-sized business, because just use cables that are absolutely necessary.  This allows for better circulation of air in the case.

  This is a power supply that should work for you.  You should check the measurements of the existing PSU (5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches) with the measures of the new power supply to ensure that it will not go in the space provided.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer, this is not the place to save money.

• HP Pavilion DV7 - 4183CL: what HARD drive can I install in a HP Pavilion DV7 - 4183CL?

  Hi all

  Realized that my DV7 - 4183CL has an empty HARD disk can you please suggest what tech HARD drive config do I add? Thanks in advance.

  It will take any hard disk 2.5 inch wide portable SATA. The real issue is the amount of space that you want to add, and what is your budget? The second hard drive is not bootable, so it's purely a place to store files. 500 GB drives are cheap and 500 gigs is a ton of space for music, photos, movies, even.

  You're going to need a second hard drive enclosure and the connector:

  You can also check if the hard drive is listed in disk management.

  a. click the Start button > Control Panel > system and security > administrative tools.

  b. double-click on computer management.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (c) in the left pane, under storage, click Disk Management.
