HP ProtectSmart doesn't work if connect you a HARD drive in the Bay of DVD?

Hello

I bought an SSD and replaced the old HDD accompanying my dv6, but I thought to buy an OptiBayHD or something like that to remove the optical DVD drive and replace it with the old HDD, so my question is, will be the work of HP ProtectSmart HARD drive with in the optical Bay (with the OptiBayHD)? or the Bay only works in the HARD drive?

Thanks, best regards

  • How do clone you a hard drive on a P6770T

    Background: I have a P6770T Office, number of product XX204AV #ABA, OS: Windows 7 Home 64 bit service pack 1.

    Partitions: C: 685 GB D: 12.7 GB (recovery), Q: 0GO (MS Office 2010 protected).

    Question: I would like to add a second hard drive to the PC as a clone.   First of all, a second internal hard drive can be added (is there a location for the drive and a SATA cable port)?    Second, how do clone you a hard drive with the three partitions, as described above?    I need instructions for cooking book style because I'm a newbee.      Thank you.

    It is usually best to make a clone with an external drive. It makes no sense given the power (spinning). Seagate and WD offer similar programs, called 'DiskWizard '.

    What you'll need:

    (1) software cloning (I'll link Seagate) download the utility and download from this page user's Guide.

    (2) buy a 1 t Seagate drive (like your hard drive is a nominal 750Go).

    more than you will need:

    (3) Sata Drive enclosure includes ESata rail.

  • Why the rejection of multiple photos doesn't work anymore when you change pictures?

    Why the rejection of multiple photos doesn't work anymore when you change pictures? Does anyone else have this problem? It works on my other Mac but just stop working on my computer laptop pro, I have the latest OS and it worked until a few weeks ago. Thanks for any help!

    Selection of several photos at once enter "9" to reject all still works them for me in Aperture 3.6 on El Capitan.

    Have you tested, if the problem occurs only in an Aperture library or libraries opening?

    Create a new Aperture library to test and see rejection, so it works.

    If it does not work in a new library either, I got trash Aperture preferences.

    In preferences file is now in the container folder in the user's library.

    Try this:

    • Leave the opening runs.
    • Then open your user library and delete the folder complete ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Aperture/
    • and the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist file

    Your user library can still be hidden. To reveal the hidden user library:

    • Bring the Finder to the front by clicking on the desktop or the Finder icon in the Dock.
    • Select your folder user/home (with the House icon in the side bar of the Finder)
    • With this window in the Finder in the front window, press the ⌘J key combination to bring up the display options.
    • In the view options panel allow you to "show the library folder. That will make your visible user library folder in your folder.
    • Open your folder, then the library folder, then the containers.
    • Move the entire folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Aperture on your desktop. Move the entire folder, not just the content.
    • Delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist as well.

    Now, restart the Mac, start Aperture and try see your book.  If all goes well, delete the folder on the desktop.

  • XP hangs after connecting an external hard drive via USB port

    When I connect an external hard drive of 250GB via a USB port on my system XP - SP3, the computer crashes immediately after the sound signal from the recognition of a normal connection PnP. There is no assignment of the station. I don't know that he had worked as can be expected before. A new 500 GB external hard drive is recognized as new hardware, the driver installed and ready to use, but after that, the PC shuts down completely new. However, when I do a system startup after connection of the same two drives, everything looks OK. Also, no problem with a USB stick of 2 GB. How to find what's the problem?

    Well - it's Windows for you, sometimes. :/

    Good luck with your new installation!

  • How to connect two external HARD drive satellite and the same printer?

    Hello

    I have now two laptop Toshiba Equium.
    What is the best way to connect them so that they can access the same external hard drive and the same printer?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I guess the two laptops are in the same network; Home LAN or WLan. Right?
    I this case I recommend you connect HARD drive and printer to one of the portable satellite.

    Then you can share the HARD drive and the printer with other cell phones on the LAN.

    You could add the network permission to others, and in this case the other participants of the network would be able to share the printer and HARD drive.

  • I see an activation which invites when I enter my product key says that's an upgrade install not the device, this worked fine on my old hard drive.

    Changed the hd on my pc and upgrade to ultimate version so I had to install xp first.  Now, I see an activation which invites when I get home my says product key is for upgrade not clean installation, it worked well on my old hard drive, there is no option in the wizard product activation phone how to turn it on

    Update install requires that the eligible previous operating system is installed and activated until the key is working.

    Yu seem to have correctly installed the OS upgrade - and it will never work without assistance.

    If - and only if - you have a valid COA sticker on your computer, you can try either by calling the line Activation, as suggested by Riz_Ford, or you can also try the method of double-install from here...

  • Windows 7 stop working, cannot deploy and manage hard drive

    Hello please help me

    I got 4 partitions, 3 primaries, and I had 3 installed win7

    Once one of them thought does not work

    OK I say, I deploy

    but to start the dvd he says: I can't deploy because the disks are logically...

    I remember when 4 days ago, I made these, I could hard disk partitioning and put them in the primary...

    now I can't use these functions, I can't delete the partitions, I can format it, nothing to deploy dvd... How is it possible?

    When I put the other hard drive in the same machine event... I can't change partitions from dvd deployment RFP

    If you have created parties exceeding the authorized victory under primary number were leaving you would have receieved a warning that all partitions is converted to dynamic, all partition tools/recovery of PC manufacturers would then no longer work

    You need to boot from your recovery disk, delete all partitions are then continue installing, programs or data is destroyed in the process

  • Windows 7 and bios sees not the hard drive, but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files

    Please, I need pc

    Original title: windows 7 and bios does not see the hard drive. but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files... Ive a hp Pavilion, what to do?

    Check the BIOS for hard drive setting.

    Make sure that you do not connect the drive to a SATA/RAID port.

    Old IDE drives - check the jumper on the drive (use "Cable Select" as a starting point), the BIOS must also be set in legacy/compatibility/IDE mode. Note: If you currently use the AHCI mode, then switch to IDE mode may cause Windows to boot.
