HP Pavilion a6667c: HP Pavilion a6667c, install the HARD drive to the SATA port

My question is: is it OK to install a hard drive extra (in this case, my old laptop drive) in one of spare SATA ports on the motherboard? My first two is taken over by my first hard disk and the optical stock.

You can add the disk as a data disk. This tray will work. Data cable  

The power supply should have additional Sata power lead.

  • 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%.

  • Maximum size in the pavilion 1325sa g6 spare hard drive

    I have a Pavilion laptop g6 1325 her, bought new in 2012, and I was wondering if it would be possible to install a hard drive of 1 TB or 2 TB of replacement in this model. The user manual gives 750 GB as the larger size, but because the hard disks have to expand in recent years, since the manual was published, I was wondering if it is possible?

    Hello

    You can permanently install a 1 TB drive (maybe liked it, but I never installed a 1 TB HARD drive in a model similar to yours).

    An example would be the HARD drive on the following link.

  • Pavilion N5415 notebook replacement hard drive

    I have an older Pavilion N5415 Notebook and hard drive died. HP no longer wears the replacements I can order online. The old drive is an IBM & reg Travelstar 4200 RPM 10 GB, ATA/IDE, 2.5 "x 9.5 mm. I need to know what I can safely replace this drive with." I found one on amazon.com with the following specifications and I need to know if it will work:

    • Hitachi Travelstar 4 K 120 HTS421280H9AT00 80 GB portable hard drive
    • Buffer 8 MB spindle speed 80 GB storage capacity IDE UDMA/100 4200 RPM interface
    • 7.1 ms average latency average 11 ms read seek time format 2.5 inch 9.5 mm drive height factor

    What other specs do I need to be concerned in addition to rpm and physical size?

    Thank you!

    32 GB is only a problem on some old computers... no need to worry. Once you have passed this barrier the next barrier is 137 gigs which does nothing more than 120 concerts can be used. I don't know the N5415 will be executed against this barrier. So whatever it is a disk of 120 Go up is ok and not better or worse than a smaller drive. Indeed, young readers tend to be older design, which means that they are running more hot and use more power.

  • Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

    I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
    If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

    How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

    In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

    The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

    NTLDR
    Boot.ini
    NTDETECT.COM
    Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

    Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

    When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

    Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...

    Hi Merlin,

    Thank you for the information.

    Have you tried to run a check disk from the BIOS (Basic Input Output System)? If this isn't the case, you can try to do a hard drive from the BIOS test & see if the problem still occurs.

    If you are not comfortable with the BIOS, you you contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  • Can I use the SATA port connected to an optical drive to plug in a hard drive?

    I have a Pavilion e9270t desktop, Win7 Pro SP1, and I want to connect 3 HARD drive to the motherboard. Can I do this? Can I use the SATA port connected to an optical drive to plug in a hard drive?

    Thanks, CHemming

    CHemming,

    I've not seen UEIF support in the existing BIOS.

    If your demand on a 3T led, re - consider a maximum of 2 T.

    If you ask to have 3 hard disks, then you can do it without harassing the present cable of CD.

    The cage of your system hard disk will support 3 hard disks. Manual upgrade service

    All you need are the SATA data and power cables. Your Board has 4 SATA data ports.

    When you report back after inspecting your system for SATA power cables, I will move the cables and adapters, if necessary.

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.

    Thank you

    PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well

    Hey,.

    If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.

    As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

  • Install a hard drive

    Original title: Pedro

    Y at - it a problem if I (temporarily) install a hard drive in my PC of capacity equal to one he has (both 1 T). I know that a hard drive with a lower capacity would cause the original HD does not work when the reinstalled (500 MB in an original HD 1 TB).

    Thank you for your advice.

    Pedro

    You can give more details about what you are considering, but--

    "I don't know a hard drive with a lower capacity would cause the original HD does not work when the reinstalled"

    You can install the variable capacity HARD drives and mix the SSD HARD drive. Mixture of capacity should not

    normally cause any HARD disk to stop working.

    -What you need to be careful when you install a HARD drive in the case, is not Exchange not the cable on the

    Windows HARD disk is installed on a different SATA port (what good practice dictates as Port 0)

    If you do not have what you need to rearrange the order in the BIOS Boot section (or change again the cables),

    or the machine can "read" the HARD drive badly and not start Windows (depending on the configuration of the BIOS).

    Examples:

    -J' have a machine with an e-SATA docking station I can pop any HARD drive in.

    I have backup of HDD of 80 GB, 320 GB, 500 GB and 1 TB.

    (This machine has a SSD and 2 TB HDD installed)

    I also use that HDD dock for a 'double' boot Win10 from an another SSD

    (Win7 is installed in the case, then I have to change the BIOS boot option when I change from one OS to the other).

    -My second machine (with an SSD, 500 GB and 1 TB HDD installed) doesn't have the luxury of a

    e SATA dock, so with this one, I use a spare door HARD disc that came with the case and the spare SATA and

    cable to connect temporarily HDD with the stop sign and the HARD disk on the table

    (power off and disconnected so that the implementation).

    This is not a practical method for the weak and not heated, but works well with my old HARD drives.

    For most people, using a HARD "external" drive that comes in its own case with a cable USB or e-SATA

    connection is the best option.

    "Deleting" a file does not actually delete it marks just the space
    also available to be used. There are third-party programs that can
    sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
    the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
    the unrecoverable file.

    So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent if you
    Try it again immediately after the deletion of it and go quickly
    downhill from there. If you have used the computer since then (for
    example to write this question and read this answer), your chances may
    be very poor now.

    But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
    using the computer in question immediately, if you have not done
    already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)
    http://www3.TELUS.NET/mikebike/restoration.html but there are several
    others to choose from; Do a search) on a friend's computer (do not
    it on yours because that would overwrite the files you want
    Undelete) and bring it to you on a CD or thumb drive to try.

    If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the disc
    a company of professional file recovery. This kind of service is very
    expensive and may or may not work in your case.
