HP Pavilion DV6-6c35dx: HP Pavilion DV6 secondary hard drive?

• Secondary hard drive for M58e

  I really like the Lenovo computers, the M58e that I just bought (two, actually) doesn't have a provision for adding a secondary hard drive. The hardware Maintenance Manual shows a cage on the bottom of the case, but that is not. The manual, as far as I could tell, has failed a number of similar cage.

  It is hard to believe that Lenovo would be a tower that does not have the ability to easily add a second hard drive. What is the solution? Drill holes in the bottom of the case? Incredible.

  Support is provided with certain models, but not others. This is really unfortunate. I drilled four holes in the bottom of the case and the bottom mounted drive, very near where it would have been if the support was present.

• Unistalling windows vista on a secondary hard drive.

  I recently built a new PC with a SSD as main OS drive and Windows 7 as my new main operating system.  As long as my secondary HARD drive, I used an old HDD that has a version of Vista as well as all my old files.  I'm hoping to keep all my old files on this disk and delete Vista to free up space on this drive.  I have also other programs (software Zune. ect on the drive, I guess I will need to download a new version for Win7.)  Should I uninstall that as well and download a new version?

  Any advice you may have for me are appreciated... Thank you!

  Hey Silspar24

  your files are installed in the operating system vista on the second hard drive

  Save your files in another location and format the disk wiping everything then copy your files on the disk clean and formatted

  and for your version of zune for windows question 7 ask in the forums of windows 7 on the link below

  the drive must be formatted to remove vista from so you will lose zune

• Secondary hard drive receives the drive letter assigned to the start-up

  I have recently formatted my secondary hard drive, which had been sitting in my empty PC and do nothing for a while, to function as a music folder. The problem I have is that every time you start that I have to manually assign the drive letter, Windows does not automatically. I tried to reformat the hard disk, but it does not solve the problem. In addition, by train to perform a bugcheck gives an error indicating the check cannot be completed. Personally, I have no idea how to solve this problem, and I have not found anyone with the same issue.

  Hi Revolvist,

  There is a possibility that the second hard disk is defective or damaged.

  If the second hard disk is a separate hard drive, I suggest you disconnect the drive from the computer (if possible) and connect to another computer and check if the problem persists.

• Windows 7 loses the secondary hard drive

  This has been a problem, I don't know why I waited this long to ask about it.

  My secondary hard drive keep endangered of Windows 7, as if someone unplugged spontaneously, except that it's still there.

  This problem can be resolved by restarting just the computer, and it can remain correct for a few minutes, a few hoursor a few days, but it still exists, usually several times a week.

  I checked all connections and even swapped the cables. There is nothing wrong with the drive itself, I can put it in another computer without this problem occurring. I also tried to move to an another empty SATA connection on the motherboard without success.

  I do not use the drive on a regular basis and bought only so that the steam and the game files that are, (and now the original since I finally broke down and got Mass Effect 3 despite efforts to avoid EA "me too!" steam clone.) were not cluttering up my main hard drive.

  But when I decide to take a load off and play games, I like for the reader to be there without needing a reboot, it can so be a little frustrating because it's usually when I am stressed already :)

  Thanks in advance for any help offered.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

  Disks RAID configured hard two?

  Internal hard disks connect to the motherboard of your computer using an IDE or SATA interface interface. Most new hard drives come with an IDE or SATA connection cable, depending on the type of drive.

  Install an internal hard disk takes a bit more work, especially if you plan to make the new disk your primary hard disk where you install Windows. Drive hard internal jumpers that you set to configure the main hard drive (master) disk where you install Windows or a secondary (slave) drive where you store programs and files. For the diagnosis of your problem, I suggest trying the following methods and check if the number is reproduced.

  Method 1:

  Check if you are able to view the second hard disk (HDD) in Device Manager. If so, try to change drive letter assignments in Windows 7. See the following steps:

  (a) connect to the computer as an administrator.

  (b) click Start, right-click computerand then click Manage.

  (c) click on disk management.

  (d) right click on the volume of the secondary HDD that you want to change and then click change drive letter and paths.

  (e) double click on the secondary drive, click change, click the drive letter that you want to use and then click OK.

  Additional information:
  Change, add, or remove a drive letter
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter

  If method 1 does not resolve the problem, go to method 2.

  Method 2:

  I suggest you try to check the secondary hard drive to find errors.

  Consult the following link:

  Check your hard drive to find errors in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2641432/en-us

  Warning: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  If method 2 does not work, go to method 3.

  Method 3:

  Try to run a scan of the file system (CFS) auditor to check any file corruption:

  1. Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
  2. Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, click OK, or alternatively click on Yes.
  3. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

• Can I format my secondary hard drive on another PC?

  I understand that you format a secondary hard drive before using this, but what happens if I format it in another computer and place it in another computer? I basically want to just send my files on the secondary hard drive then put the hard drive in another computer and transfer the files on the primary. Should it be formatted when installed in another computer, every time and will it be ok if I just send my files to real vivid primary in another computer? Thank you

  Format on a computer and you can use it in all that are supported by the type of file system.  Use NTFS for windows computers.

• Add the secondary hard drive to dv7-3130eo

  Anyone know if it is possible to use the secondary hard drive Bay on the above model.

  I searched and could not know whether or not it is supported. If it supports this what should I use to add an sdd drive

  Yes, it can be used. You just need the hard drive caddy and the connector like the one that is in the hard drive Bay. They are available online or on eBay for maybe $45.

  example of

  Yes, the hard drive can be an ssd. SSD drives have the same physical dimensions and connections such as a SATA drive. You need the money because I just don't see prices of SSDS come down to where I think it makes sense to invest in one. I ran an ssd in my last laptop... paid about $400 for a concert 128 2 years ago and I don't think they are much cheaper now, although they are better I guess. It was all that (fast, quiet, cool), but it was nagging little glitches on writing on the disc and occasionally she just sat there for a few seconds and think about doing something. I changed a standard 7200 RPM drive.

• HP Pavilion dv6 new HARD drive

  Hi guys... the hard drive of my HP Pavilion dv6 was broken and its not detectable more... my question is... can I replace the hard drive of my HP Dv6 with any brand? I still have my recovery upwards... Please answer asap thnx

  Hello

  Your not limited to any manufacturer of player, so you are free to choose the HARD drive you want.  The only point to keep in mind is to buy a replacement of equal capacity drive (or slightly larger) to the original - installing a lower capacity drive may cause problems when using recovery discs to reinstall the operating system.

  Kind regards

• HP Pavilion dv6-6c47cl: hard drive errors

  I just got the factory reset disks, my pc is out of warranty... Will be factory reset discs allow me to install the new hard drive into the computer and then it will be as if it was directly from the factory?

  I did the resets to factory using partition on computers, but never a reset using the discs... so I hesitate just install HDD without knowing if the reset disks will be re-hard drive partition and install the factory installed software.

  Need help...

  HP Pavilion dv6-6c47cl notebook PC

  Hello

  Big question. Factory reset disks will allow you to bring the laptop to original settings.

  If the hard drive is bad or you replace it for a reason any (like changing for one SSD), you can use the same media to reinstall the OS.

  I hope this helps!

• HP Pavilion dv6 - 6119tx HARD drive upgrade question

  Hi all

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6 - 6119 notebook tx. I am facing a SMART hard disk error and I need to replace it with a new hard drive. It currently has a capacity of 640 GB 5400 RPM HDD Toshiba. All I want to know is can I replace it with a 1 TB hard drive, 7200 RPM (with SATA 6.0 GB/s)? May be I have to 5400 RPM (with SATA 3.0 Gbit/s)?

  Hi kiranmanju

  After some reading on this subject, I think I'll go with MistaB.

  SSDS and hard drives are treated in the same way by the operating system, and they are easily interchangeable. So no, you shouldn't have any problems during the installation of a faster 7200 RPM drive to replace your current drive to 5400 RPM.

  There are only a few things you need to know when buying a compatible disc:
  (A) interface: the vast majority of readers is SATA, and it is what you need
  (B) 2.5 "or 3.5": the first is for laptops, the latter is for desktop computers
  (C) drive height: most of the hard drives 2.5 "are 9.5 mm, and it's what fits most laptops. Some high-capacity drives are 12.5 mm

  Other than that, the rest of the variables are related to performance.

  but I can't guarantee anything of it now. I don't really know why then the user's Guide for your product just omitted part of 7200 RPM if they do not harm anyway. I recommend that contact HP technical support for more details.

  Thank you
