• Satellite P200-1 - can I use 2nd HARD drive?

  Hello

  I am always working on my Satellite P200-1 and now, my HDD1 is full.

  I see that there is a location for a second HDD. But I can't find the plug!

  Therefore, it is possible to connect a second HDD on my satellite P200-1BY? Because I bought a new HARD drive and I can't plug it, I only have 7 days to return the HARD drive to the store.

  Thanks for your replies!

  Hello

  If the connector to the second HARD drive is not available there is no way to use two internal hard drives.
  This HARD back and buy HDD external, placed in the HARD disk box. This HARD drive you can connect using the USB cable and it is the best solution for you.

  I guess that HARD disk internal, you have lots of data that you don't need every day and you can save it to external HARD drive. So you can do free space on the internal HARD disk.

  I do the same.

  Good bye

• How to use the 2nd hard drive internal for storage?

  Hi, I am a newbie in all of this. I would use the 2nd internal hard drive of our mac mini server (end 2012) for storage (in fact, I'll things rsync from a remote server to here. but this is not the point here.). The thing is, I don't know how to access the 2nd internal hard drive and where to start. I did all of the following commands in the Terminal, but I don't really know what they mean, and what can I do with this information. I've been Googling but most are guides on how to install a 2nd hard drive etc. I hope that the information below is enough for someone to give me advice please?

  Thank you!

• HP pavilion G4-2201tu: Add a 2nd HARD drive using CD/DVD optical drive Bay

  Hi ch, I, m going to add a 2nd HARD drive of my laptop bu using Bay, CD/DVD optical drive, so I don't know if the connection of optical drive supports SATA 2 or SATA3? And where I can buy a Bay for disk HARD 2 (good quality)? TKS a lot!

  There is that some members have used and reported success with third party products. I can't recommend any particular HARD drive caddy product as I have no personal experience using one. I can provide you with a URL so you can decide for yourself. I will update with more sources as I find them.

• 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!

  Damjan

  > 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.

• 2nd hard drive install on pavilion dv7-3060us 17.3 inches with Quad core processor

  Pavilion dv7-3060us computer has a 2nd hard drive Bay.  On 2 flags of 17.3 inches previous, I installed a 2nd HDD.  This quad core Pavilion is much thinner than the previous pavilions;  the underside of the computer has also a centre piece in the form of "T" in the Panel without screw - is a pop on the access panel or the entire bottom panel needs to be removed through the perimeter screws?  Still trying to find a manual showing this particular case - no luck so far.  The downloaded HP

  Manual for the previous dv-7 is for the case of style like unless I missed something.

  Install an SSD soon - would like to have all the "stuff" to install a 2nd drive hard if possible.  Anything I should be aware of before perform this procedure?  Don't really want to remove all the merits of the case.

  Thanks for any help that can be provided.

  I appreciate the help.  The Caddy is the same that I used before (on the 1st dv7) the 2nd dv7 used the direct taking of 90 degrees into the adapter.  I have both of these me more allotted a 500 GB HD.  All I need pickup is the SSD.

  The "T" sign on the back of my case has no screws - but I can see the 3 component tabs snap at the top of the "T" through the small crack on the case.  These are shown on the exploded view of repair.  I'm projecting from the 'snap-out' Panel down on the vertical leg of the "T".

  Once again; Thank you

• Portege M750 - 2nd HARD drive in the Bay select instead of optical drive carrier

  I just bought I used Portege M750 because my M700 was broken. Unfortunately, the berries to choose between the two models are not compatible. Although the availability of a 2nd drive hard trolley is mentioned in the user manual, I couldn't find the part of the disk for the M750 caddy. I tried a standard SATA-SATA HARD drive caddy, but I get a message "select Bay error" at the start, although the caddy runs under windows, as long as you do not hibernate.

  Does anyone know the part no of the real 2nd hard drive for Portege M750 caddy / M780? Or is there another 2nd carriage of hard drive that works with the M750 without restriction?

  Hello

  I guess that you will need a hard drive caddy part number: P000452980
  Then you could place this in the Toshiba Ultra Slim PA3408U-2CTE and PA3408U-1ETC HARD disk adapter

  But you can also contact the Toshiba ASP in your country to get a confirmation...

• 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.

• 2nd HARD drive causes Qosmio G40 Crash

  My C drive is divided into 2 partitions in Vista Premium fine and everything ok.

  2nd HARD drive causes computer crash with the following error message:
  0 x 00008086
  0x00000100
  0X000002B4
  0x00000001
  0x00000000

  I reinstalled everything wiped disks and now the drive will not format
  I read it could be a SATA problem but in the ability to change BIOS settings are not accessible.

  My missed day guarantee until it does not so I can t get it done about it.
  Before that happened, as I used to be able to use it for a while, then something relaxing blue screen, sometimes the laptop doesn t even see s it.

  Can anyone throw any light on the problem?

  Hello!

  Have you tried the Drive Fitness Test as suggested Akuma? You can check the HARD drive for bad sectors.

  CHKDSK isn't identical to the DFT and it can t detect errors on the HARD drive. Please run DFT to determine if the problem is the HDD, or not associated with.

  Good bye

• Satellite P500-12D adding 2nd HARD drive

  Toshiba UK say it is not possible to install a second drive in a P500-12D.
  The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
  I was also told that the second drive Bay could not be used "on the model" but the sata connection is there and inserts brass threaded in the case of the scree of the carrier are present.

  The Bay is deeper than 1 Bay (for the thicker > 500 GB drives and, therefore, the support unit for the 1st Bay can be used - entire centres are also different.)

  Ideas for a work around?

  Sorry for the spelling mistakes - my original message would not be accepted "your message contains profanity or inappropriate language.
  In the interest of your fellow forum users, we ask you to change your message.
  "but no indication as to where." Maybe it's that the things happening in the threaded inserts are not allowed

  Peter K

  > The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
  The reason is that there are different configurations of P500
  The P500 and other series of Toshiba laptops are equipped with different motherboards.
  Not all motherboards support 2 HARD drive controllers.

  This can be a bit confusing for someone buying a laptop and see the second HARD drive Bay, but if you would remove the 2nd HARD drive Bay cover, then you will see that there is no HARD drive connector.
  This means that you will not be able to use the second HARD drive.

• How to check if the 2nd HARD drive is possible on the Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7?

  Hello

  My A200/PSAE7 has a 200 GB HARD drive. For backup reasons, I would like to know - or learn to know how check - if my A200 already have the hardware support for a 2nd HARD drive, next to the slot for a 2nd HARD drive.
  In the BIOS, I see 'Toshiba MKxxx - hard drive' and 'hard drive - None '. Is the last entry in the BIOS is a sign that a 2nd HARD drive is supported and has to be put in the second location of HARD drive?

  Thanks in advance for any answer!

  Best regards
  Andreas

  You can do the following:

  Open the cover when the 2nd drive HARD so-called must be installed and check for some SATA connectors or cables. If there is an unused SATA connection so you can upgrade, if no, then you will need to backup your data on USB - HDD or whatever.

  If in the BIOS is something now, he won't say that he is physically present.

• Discs of recovery, or vanilla Windows Installer on Q770 and 2nd HARD drive

  The Qosmio Q770 need to reinstall windows,

  At thining use the disks of recovery, or just vanilla win 7 and then add drivers, I need.

  issue with recovery disks it will affect the 2nd hard drive because that's where all my data?

  Thank you

  LoonyT

  In my opinion, you must install Windows using the original recovery disk. It is much easier and you do not install all the drivers, tools and utilities. All this is included in the recovery image. After installation of recovery image simply configure OS and you can remove applications that you don't need.

  I force test but I m pretty sure second disk will not be changed, just the main hard drive so your data must be secured. You can make backup anyway.

• Satellite 2800-200 - what external enclosure that I can use for HARD drive

  My daughter has a laptop of Toshiba S2800-200 eldely.
  It is broken where the mains cable between the machine and she has been quoted £100 for repair!
  She has already bought a new computer repair is not an option.

  Toshiba, however, contains some files (photos, music etc, mainly) that she would like to keep, but get the files of the computer laptop and on its new machine is a problem.

  My thought is to buy a cheap USB basket somewhere like eBay, remove the hard drive and use the caddy to download photos. etc on his new computer via the USB port.

  To buy the correct caddy I need to know the full spec (diameter, capacity, etc.) of the Toshiba hard drive and I don't have a clue!

  Can someone here point me to the spec of the drive on a Toshiba S2800-200 please?

  I guess the Satellite 2800 series is supported by the IDE HDD controller and HARD drive would be also a 2.5 IDE HDD.
  That's why you should look for a USB IDE HDD box

• Pavilion Slimline d 235 400 has room for a 2nd hard drive?

  (2) my HP warranty is cancelled if I buy my 2nd hard drive and install on my own?

  Thank you!

  BH098, welcome to the forum.

  I don't think you can install a second hard drive.  In the case, here are the bays of units:

  Size Bay bays Total

  13.33 cm (5.25 inches) ODD	1
  8,89 cm (3.5 inch) HARD drive	1
  * Berries can be occupied by existing material.

  One is occupied by the HARD drive and the other by the DVD recorder.  If you want to add a disk, I suggest buying a USB 3.0 external drive.

  If you have installed a second hard drive, he would not cancel your warranty.
