• No satellite P770-111 no SATA cable to connect the 2nd HARD drive

  Hello!

  I bought by Satellite P770-111 3 days and was hoping to insert another HARD drive that I had in my old laptop.
  OK, I opened the plastic cover on the bottom side of the laptop and there are 2 slots of HDD (2.5 ") but a single HARD disk.
  A HARD disk that is currenty in the laptop's big 500 GB. I would like to install another, but there is a problem:
  There is no cable to connect it to the motherboard SATA.

  Basically, there are 2 slots hard drive but only a connection interface. Could you please tell me how could I install a 2nd HARD drive?

  Thank you in advance!

  > there is no cable to connect it to the motherboard SATA.
  The fact is that not all laptops of the same series of notebook models are equipped with the same motherboard and controllers of same.
  This means that even if there is a second HARD-drive Bay, you will not be able to use a 2nd HARD drive. You know

  The chassis is the same in all models of laptops but there are different motherboards and not all supported 2nd controller.

• Installing a hard drive SATA 2 with the first hard drive is an IDE hard drive

  I have an M50 - 8187 think Centre and I see on the motherboard and in the manual that there is a 1 SATA and SATA 2 connection. I tried to plug in a SATA 2 hard drive but when I connect it using a SATA data cable, there is nothing recognizable in the BIOS.

  I took a 30 GB IDE HDD and hung like a slave and the BIOS recognized immediately.

  My question is, if a SATA hard drive can be used on the M50 series think Center and if so, what do I do I do get recognized in the BIOS SATA 2 controller. I've updated the BIOS with the latest version, but it did not help. I don't see where in the BIOS to enable the SATA.

  Help about my problem is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

• How to activate the faults COMMITTED to an internal SATA hard drive, but not the other, on Vista Home Premium 32-bit?

  I have a set of 17-inch laptop 2008 which contains two hard drive bays internal, purchased in June.  It came with a single hard drive (traditional spinning disc).  It is running Service Pack 2, Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

  My SATA controller is an Intel 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M family); I think it's a first-generation SATA controller (1.5 Gbps).

  I received recently a 160 GB Intel X - 25 M SSD (second generation SATA, but it is fully compatible with the first generation controllers, without additional or jumpers configuration) as a gift from my wife.  I removed my first hard drive completely, installed the SSD in the main Bay and installed Windows, drivers and the Intel SSD utility.  I then reinstalled my HDD original in the second span, completely wiped and reformatted it as a partition; It currently contains my music and other multimedia files.

  The utility Intel SSD tells me I should activate DIPM for my SSD as opposed to HIPM.  This seems to take a bit of tinkering to make Vista, and my situation is further complicated by the presence of my HARD drive (original) secondary, which prefer to use HIPM.

  I read the article on the Microsoft Web site on editing the registry to activate the misconduct, and it's something I would feel comfortable doing. However, I don't want my SSD to use DIPM, my HARD drive is expected to continue to use HIPM, and I was afraid that the proposed fix would allow the misconduct for all readers.

  Could someone let me know how I can activate DIPM for my SSD while continuing to use HIPM to my HARD drive, I'd be very grateful.

  EDIT: My Maintenance of SSD utility said simply that the State of the settings DIPM/HIPM "could not be determined." if Vista automatically selects the correct setting and the SSD utility does not just understand that, which makes my life a lot easier. but it would be nice to know for sure, so I can forget it all (if Vista already defined for me) or change the setting (if Vista did not automatically choose food appropriate for each disk management mode).

  You will need two SATA controllers: both on board or an edge and the other on PCI - E.

  Configure one who does not need TRIM/DIPM (do not use a SSD) as non-AHCI (compatible IDE/ATA-6) in the BIOS and the other (where TRIM/DIPM will be used) as AHCI.

  Connect the drive to which you DIPM AHCI controller. See http://www.abxzone.com/forums/f155/tip-how-enable-dipm-ssds-windows-120968.html for more information.

• Installation of XPS 8700 2nd hard drive. Not recognized by Windows 8, but the BIOS sees

  Hello

  I installed a Segate Barcuda 3 to hard drive as my 2nd HDD in XPS 8700. I connected the Sata 2 port (sata 3).

  In the BIOS, I can see that, under SATA 3, there is a 3 TB drive. But, when it comes to Windows 8, OS does not recognize it. In this regard, any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  For Windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned, formatted, and received a letter from reader, using Windows Disk Manager.

• Pavilion 550-306no - for the 2nd HARD drive expansion slot?

  While thinking about replacing my old HP tractor, I browsed around the shop online for a possible new unit;

  Seems there is a box called Pavilion 550-306no, sold here in Sweden, which could meet my needs.  However, does anyone know if there is room (or not) for a 2nd HARD drive? Seems all the guides of the old user on how to develop yr PC in the forum of textbooks have been nuked.

  Concerning

  Hello

  The Specifications for the 550-306no indicate that it is not put into service for a disk hard 3.5 "2nd.  Review the information in the computer case.

  Some models will allow a 2.5 "HD or SSD to add.  See the image below.

  

  According to the amount of space available between the existing hard drive and the motherboard, you might be able to mount another HD using 3.5 media ".  Those that I had recommended in the past are now $40 (ouch).

• Install old HDD to the pc with the new HARD drive and operating system different?

  Hi, I recently ripped my old laptop that no longer works, after buying a newer laptop 4 years ago. The new laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed while the old machine had Windows Vista installed. I want to put the old HDD in my new machine to extract some files that I want to keep and possibly use this particular drive as a disc of extra storage without having to turn it into a portable device. Would that work or would I meet problems with him? It would be just a plug & play this sort of thing (as the old HDD already has an operating system installed) or the old drive (vista) would cause the new drive (win7) fails at startup?

  And sorry if this has already been covered. I searched through the questions asked previously and has not really found a similar job.

  You can use your old drive, but you should check that the "Boot order" is the most recent Player listed before the old drive. If need be exit and save your BIOS boot becomes.

  Next

  After you have started since the new drive, you may need to take ownership of the files you need to copy.

  To take ownership of a file or folder

  1. open Windows Explorer and locate the file or folder you want to take charge.
  2. right click on the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.
  3. click on advanced and then click the owner tab.
  4. click on edit and then do one of the following:
  To change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click other users and groups and enter the object name to select (examples), type the name of the user or group and then click OK.

  To change the owner to a user or a group is listed in the change owner to box, click the new owner.

  5. (optional) to change the owner of all subcontainers / folders and objects in the tree view, select the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects check box.

  Then use 'Disk management' to delete all existing partitions and reformat the old drive.

• HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 580t: could not find driver for integrated Ethernet card for desktop HPE 580t

  This desktop computer has been through a number of operating systems and should now have 10 32-bit Windows (for other software support needs).  All right, except that it lacks drivers for connection to Ethernet (built-in) on board.

  I tried the approach of Windows Update, the "update driver" and search HP, Intel, QLogic and other places of Ethernet NIC and Chipset drivers... nothing fits or works.  The hard drive has long been wiped, so there is no recovery partition, nor do I still support discs. :-(

  Is the reported by Device Manager hardware ID: PCI\VEN_14E4 & DEV_164A & SUBSYS_3070103C & REV_02.  164 a same device does not appear on the pci database. :-(

  Yet once again, I need to Win10 - 32-bit (no 64 - bit).  Thanks in advance for any help that can be given.

  Hello:

  There are no W10 driver for this chip ethernet I can find.

  In fact, everything that I could find were drivers for Windows Server 2003 and 2008.

  HP doesn't even have driver Broadcom ethernet on your PC support page, and I couldn't find the site of Broadcom or the other.

  I explored the Broadcom file and there is no support drivers for the hardware ID you have posted in the file.

  So, the only suggestion I can offer would be to try the driver I compressed upwards and attached below.

  Download and uncompress the file in its folder.

  Don't do anything with the files in the folder.

  Go to Device Manager and click on the ethernet controller requiring driver.

  Click the driver tab.  Click on set to update driver.

  Select her browse my computer for driver software option and navigate to the driver folder, that you unzipped.

  Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and see if the driver will install.

• HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210y - upgrade power supply and graphics card?

  You just bought a new computer that I am generally satisfied, but it is not fit to play top games I like (for example Metro 2033).  I was looking into upgrading my graphics card and discovered that I have a 300W power supply.

  I heard that HP computers are notorious for difficulties in upgrading equipment thanks to the compact design the area.  What power supply and graphics card I should be able to use?  Information links and price would be very appreciated.

  I use my LG HDTV 32 "as a monitor and my current graphics card allows me to connect using an HDMI cable and play movies blu - ray via my PC.  I want to keep this feature.

  Thanks for any help!

  You need to open your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your diet.  Here is a list of the things to consider:

  1. Specifications
  2. Total power - important
  3. amperage 12 + v - important
  4. Modular - is not required, but I like the flexibility
  5. Warranty
  6. I7 and SLI ready
  7. Efficiency rating
  8. Cost
  9. The physical size - standard ATX PSU is 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "give or take a few tenths

  www.Newegg.com has many choices of power supplies.  Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake...

  The amount of amperage + 12 volts is important when choosing a video card.  Depending on the size of the Cabinet from HP a 550-600 watt PSU should be plenty.  The NVIDIA GT 460 should be a good choice.

• HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 532 s: 'Secure Boot Configuration' not found?

  Hello support, I wanted to disable startup secure for my office.
  I have a pavilion Elite HPE - 532 s Bios 7.15 I followed the step of many posts, but I don't have it under the heading "security"?
  I am on window 10 64-bit UEFI.
  I wanted to disable, because I have a new GTX 960 graphics card and it stuck on the HP logo at startup all the time when I use the new card. !!

  I tried to disable the security slot, but no matter what I do I get a black screen for my card both old and new so I have to reset the bios settings.
  Help me please.

  Thanks for the additional information.

  Here is my diagnosis/notice:

  I don't think you'll be able to get the GTX 960 to work with this system.

  Why it won't work in the UEFI/GPT:

  It will not work in the UEFI [I think] 960 GTX is one card of UEFI and you must disable secure boot to make it work. Your BIOS is only "UEFI compatible" originally planned for Windows 7 [which does not support secure boot]. If you are unable to disable the secure startup, you can not use this card.

  Why it won't work in legacy/MBR:

  It won't work in legacy because it's a single card of UEFI.

  My suggestion:

  Return to the legacy/MBR and use a graphics card that has a dual BIOS BIOS/hybrid or one who supports in particular the Legacy BIOS as described in one of my previous posts.

  Some other things to consider:

  You PSU has enough power for this card? I think it takes a minimum of 400W PSU.

  You connect the auxiliary power connector?

  Have you tried to disable "Intergrated Graphics" in the BIOS [as appropriate]

• Swapped the HARD drive of the Pavilion G6 2264sa with a Pavilion G6 1331sa HARD drive / brightness not wking... !!

  Hello

  Hope everyone is well and wonder if anyone can help me. My problem is my daughter's laptop, she is in the middle of the student to College and all of his work is on his laptop which is a:

  HP Pavilion G61331sa/1.6 GHZ AMD Quad-Core A8 - 3520M APU with Dual Radeon 6620 graphics card + 7450 M / 6 GB memory / dedicated graphics video AMD Radeon HD 6620 + 7450 M bi - GPU (1 GB of DDR3 memory) / 750 GB SATA (5400 RPM) HARD drive / running Windows 7.

  Unfortunately, my son accidentally spilled juice on the laptop. I quickly took all the preventive measures, turn off the power / battery disassembly / HDD and upsets the laptop. I also left in the closet of broadcast for a few days to dry out, then tried again. It lights up and the power light stays on and the fan works but the caps lock button warning light flashing and the screen remains empty, even when I try to use an external monitor via HDMI connections again the external screen is blank. It seems that most of the spill was on the left side of the keyboard because the keys are very sticky this side. I talked to HP to my problem that the laptop is still under warranty, however as we know that it does not cover accidents, and no, we don't have the coverage of the accident. My daughter is in the middle of exams a solution was needed pronto. It was suggested by HP techy guy to buy the modern equivalent with the same HARD drive and just change the HARD drive and update all the drivers.

  I bought a HP Pavilion G6 2264sa / Intel® Core™ i3 - 2370M / 4GB memory / 750 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive / graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 (up to 1.65 GB) running windows 8 (64-bit).

  I changed the HARD disk as proposed and updated all the drivers. There was a slight problem starting up but just had to go into the BIOS at startup (F1 key) Startup Configuration / settings and do know the Boot from the HDD instead of CD ROM, etc.. The HP Pavilion G6 2264sa started with the G6 1331sa HARD drive and works very well. My daughter doesn't have to worry about spending time to find away around a new laptop and windows 8. everything is just where she knows that it is.

  The only problem I have is the brightness (f2 and f3) doesn't seem to work and the screen is very bright degree to cause a headache. I have uninstalled and installed the graphics drivers but still no control over brightness...!

  Any ideas where I have gone wrong?

  Your suggestions and ideas will be very well received and appreciated.

  Thanks in advance...

  This computer does not display any right screen?

  And caps lock flahs once in 4 seconds?

  If it has been: is failled into a CPU and they want also to repair or change your motherboard.

  In any case, go to a place and make planning expenditures compared with the price of your laptop.

  Other way, the disk its ok so your girls its safe.

  You are very wellcome.

  If the HP Forum do not delete my account, I will have more pleasure and response.

• Qosmio X 70-A-12W-Second HARD drive is not recognized

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio X 70-A-12W and there a slot open for an extra hard disk of 2.5 inches. I bought a new hard drive Toshiba, which has been installed but the laptop does not see.

  What should I do?

  Hello

  I found the procedure of replacing the HARD drive in this Toshiba document:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/CRU3903II0000R01.htm

  It shows the 2nd HARD drive slot but very important is a fact: the hard drive is recognized in the BIOS?
  Go to BIOS and check the first page of the BIOS. Generally if an upgrade is possible, the 2nd HARD drive must be in the BIOS (first page containing all the details such as the name and size).
  In case the disk HARD isn't in the list, you need to check if the new HARD drive is OK (test it in the first slot of HDD).

  In some cases these updates could not be possible lack of HARD disk controller.

  I don't know where you're going safely mount a second hard drive in it. If you need an additional SATA power cable, you have a power cable 4 white pin (molex) unused?
