HP Pavilion t770.uk: SECOND HARD drive IS NOT SHOWING in DISK MANAGEMENT

• HP Pavilion dv7-4180ea second hard drive

  I recently bought a HP Pavilion dv7-4180ea (XE274EA #ABU). One of the reasons why I chose this laptop was because it was announced as being able to have two hard drives.

  When I open the HDD I discovered that it there is no way to install a second hard drive, because the cable and the caddy is missing.

  Anyone know the part number for it? The necessary cable is longer, so the previous parts for DV7 don't work with it. I called my local provider of HP, and they did not know the number of the piece, which is a little ridiculous. I probably have to pay RIP-OFF prices for something that should have been included in the laptop in the first place.

  HP has not yet, but do to the sites of third parties.

  These guys are the main suppliers of spare hard drive caddy. It will work. HP eventually will do the part available but don't hold your breath. $40 is a bit strong but not terrible. HP will charge more when they make available.

• external hard drive is not displayed in disk utility

  I have a drive (2 TB) seagate desktop external hard, while the backup time machine HDD power adapter was pulled from the socket. Now the hard drive is not recognized (both on the utility disk and office) of my mac pro book works on os x el capitan, seeing the hard drive is disabled, but I can feel and hear the operation of the hard drive. Also when I hang up my iMac running os x yosemite on the hard drive can be used and seems to work very well.

  I tried to reformat the hard disk, but it has failed it is still not recognized on my mac pro book

  Hello amartnez,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  From your post, I see that your drive external hard seagate was pulled from the socket during backup with Time Machine, and now it is not recognized by your MacBook Pro. I know how it is important to ensure that you are able to connect your external drive to your Mac. I have something I want you to try.

  Because the external hard drive seems to be working on another computer (iMac), please try a different USB port on your MacBook Pro and see if it recognizes the external hard drive on the desktop and in disk utility. If so, that means you have a problem with this specific USB port on the MacBook Pro.

  See you soon!

• 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.

• HARD drive internal not recognized by Device Manager.

  I've been trolling these forums for the last few days in search of some answers, but nothing seems to get close to my problem.

  First basic info. Dell Inspirion D630 laptop computer Windows XP Prof SP3. Hardware config: 120 GB drive HARD internal, DVD player, 2 GB of memory. Pretty basic configuration. No hardware changes have been made.

  Here's the senerio problem. Notebook PC starts without any problems, but while XP is loading all the services I get error that meet "Generic Host Process for Win32 services has encountered a problem and needs to close...". ', the error msg and the laptop is pretty useless at the moment (explorer, Task Manager, etc.) does not run. I then close the laptop and can start in "safe mode", but pass messages "the instruction at 001ba6ae tried to access memory at the location 000000, the memory could not be written" every few minutes. But I can access Explorer, Task Manager, etc.. Thought may have viruses or malicious and software ran Mcafee several times and came back clean everytime. Could not MalwareBytes to run, but was able to run GMER (it was suggested on the forums). There is no report on any specific malware, but it showed that several sectors on the HARD disk showed malware like behavior. But he also showed that he could not detect the hard drive (showed the HKLM...\CurrentControlSet\ info for the reader, he tried to find). So long story even longer, made a few inquiries via these forums as determined as SVCHOST. EXE was not while trying to run "winmgmt. Also discovered was that the Device Manager and Storage Manager does not show the Hard Drive AT ALL. They do not show the DVD player and if I install a USB they show, but they show that the Disk 0 in the lists. (If installed USB watch drive 0, another DVD wise shows disk 0). If I open Windows Explorer, it shows the drive c: hard, I can access all the files on the disk without problem. If I show the 'properties' for the reader, it indicates the correct used/unused space for the reader. If I click on the "Hardware" tab, the only one listed is the DVD player.

  So I know a bit what is the problem, I just do not know what to do to FIX IT. other that my last resort resort which would be to do a full clean install of windows. Any suggestions?

  Sorry for the long winded question, but I wanted to provide as much information as possible.

  See you soon.

• 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:
