I want to add another hard drive to my computer pls HELP

OK, so I want to add another hard drive for my windows xp, 512 MB of ram and 32 GB of hard drive and it's a Dell Dimension 3000/desktop PC.

How can I get a new one, how do I know if it is the right type, where I'd get a? Thank you for your help :D

You look at the manual of your system, see what kind of connection there / what lead types/sizes it can manage and buy appropriately.

However - given the age of this system - I'm just down, buy an external USB drive and use it.  You will eventually be able to take to any machine use - including the one that replaces the one you have.

  • I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine. The activation process for Windows XP SP3 failed.

    I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine.  The activation process failed.  How can I get the operating system XP Professional sp3 reactive?  I have the code original and other info.

    original title: Moving the death machine drive

    Hello CarrolScott,

    The activation problem arose because the hardware on your current computer does not match that of the hardware on the machine whose mother is dead.

    The best option for the reactivation is to use the telephone line. This, unfortunately, is automated and may refuse to turn on your system; However, don't despair just rest on the line after the automated atcivation crossed its procedure and you will be transferred to a real person. Tell this person you've done, and it should be able to help activate.

  • Can I add another hard drive to my Mac Pro?

    End of 2013

    3.7 GHz quad core Xeon E5

    16 GB of ram

    500 GB Flash

    Ive run out of hard drive space. Can I add another flash drive or is it better to buy an external hard drive? If external which is more reliable Thunderbolt or USB 3?

    Go on everymac.com and find your model of Mac Pro for a good list of specifications and upgrade opportunities.

    I know "reliable." Limits of reliability are probably based on the envelope model and model also in car inside (not always easy to find) rather than the type of connection. Thunderbolt is probably faster but still a somewhat unusual connector to find so if you are looking for less cotly a USB3 will be cheaper and there will be more models available. Make sure you know that there is a reliable drive inside.

  • Guaranteed - he will suffer if I add another hard drive?

    I'll set up a law office, and it was suggested I have add an additional hard drive in my Dell computer that automatically performs a daily backup.

    One thing that is not clear to me, that's how to install an additional hard drive would affect the warranty, so I thought I would ask my question directly:

    If I install my own extra hard drive not purchased from dell, and assuming that no damage occurs during installation, is that cancels a portion of the warranty? I don't have a coverage additional hard disk, simply, I don't want to void any warranty on the existing material.

    Hi pudelgrl,

    Thanks for your post.

    Adding additional pieces to your computer will not void the warranty.  Just keep in mind that if you want to help out with a Dell Technical Support, the unit must be returned to the original configuration.

    Kind regards

  • Can I add another HARD drive to my Satellite P200-1EE?

    I have recently just bought a Toshiba Satellite P200-1EE. I can't blame it, it's great having a HD-DVD player, Vista Home Premium, 2 GB of RAM and 160 GB Hard Drive. The only problem is that I'm worried that 160 GB will go very quickly in adding games for Windows Game, being a game up to 16 GB.

    So I wonder, in the model P200 - 1EE, is there a free slot in one of the hard drive bays, and if so, it would be possible to insert a 2.5 "Western Digital Scorpio SATA Drive (WD3200BEV) 320GB in there?
    http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=377he on this hard drive details at this page:

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Say the user manual?
    Please see the user manual that must be preinstalled on your laptop.

    As far as I know not all laptops Satellite P200 would support the second HDD due to lack of second HARD disk controller.
    That's why it of necessary to check the second span for the HARD drive connectors available.

    Remove the second HARD drive Bay cover and the devil if the interface is not available.

    If you have an administrator password in windows, then the recovery console would need in order to log in the disk system, i.e. the c prompt.
     
    If you tried to do a repair with the cd, then it may not have worked if your cd is the sp2 version of windows on your computer has been updated to sp3 version.  for the sp2 of xp cd works, you will need to uninstall the update to sp3 via Add/Remove programs.
     
    so, now that you have enslaved the hard drive on another computer, you will need to do is try to take ownership of the files/folders:

  • How can I get my favorites on an old hard drive and transfer them to another hard drive?

    the motherboard is dead on my old desktop - but the hard drive is still usable. I got a new office and a friend added the old hard drive from my old computer (which has all my favorite firefox somewhere) on my new computer. Now I have two hard drives on a computer - one that came with the new computer - and my old - so, I'm now able to move all my pictures and files, etc. - and even found the bookmarks of Internet Explorer - but, I can't seem to find bookmarks in firefox. I look under Program Files - and I have-see Mozilla Firefox but don't see the bookmarks. I have searched for it - tried the answers that the mozilla site says to do it - but I can't find them. can anyone help? Thank you

    Bookmarks are not stored in the Program Files folder, but rather in their own folder profile 'hidden '.
    This link will show you where Firefox holds all of your information and what are the files to be transferred through

    To access your profile folder, while in Firefox, click the new menu button on the right side of the navigation bar, click Help, and then click troubleshooting information. In the Applications section base, click the Show folder. The window that opens will be your profile folder.

    Because you want your bookmarks, you should enter places.sqlite and then put them in the profile folder in your new hard drive with Firefox closed

  • NTLDR is missing - when you try to install Windows 7 on another hard drive

    I have a PC Compaq Presario SR2027X a/w Win XP Media Center Edition SP3 installed.  I downloaded and installed the Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to determine if WIN 7 would go on my system.  The airport of Win 7 Upgrade Advisor said that I could install Win 7.  I bought Win 7 32 bit and 2-1 GB PC5300 memory sticks.  I first installed the memory and booted up the system.  Everything worked well.  BIOS has seen the new memory and I have not encountered any error.

    I then turning the system off and removed the HDD (120 GB Sata).  I installed another hard drive (160 GB Sata) which had been restructured and ready to use.  The BIOS detects the hard drive and the BIOS has been changed for a start of the OPTICAL drive.  I then placed the WIN 7 32-bit software disk in the OPTICAL drive and saved the changes in BIOS and rebooted the system.  I was expecting to see the normal WIN 7 screens during the installation.  Instead, I got "NTLDR is missing, press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart".

    Then I tried pressing ESC during boot to enter the boot menu.  Once in the boot menu, I select the optical drive and now I get the message "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER".  I opened and close the optical drive optical drive light lights up, and I then press on enter.  I get the same message on "DISK BOOT FAILURE,...» ».

    I built more than 40 PC and have never had this problem.  Is there something unique about Compaq/HP PC's that prevents me to install WIN 7 on another hard drive that is not the original hard drive came with this pc?

    HP / Compaq computers are no different from any other computer on the market. You can install Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8 on almost all made within the last 7 years.

    I think that your problem is due to a failure of CD/DVD drive or disk installation of Windows 7 corrupt or unbootable. Please check that the CD/DVD drive is fully functional and functional as should be. Also, check that your Windows 7 disc is free of errors and that it is bootable. If necessary, you can download a Windows 7 SP1 ISO from HERE and HERE and also download Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Pavilion x 2 10-n100na: can I add a hard drive from a HP Pavilion x 2 10-n100na?

    Can I add a hard drive to a Pavilion x 2 10-n100na? I noticed that some models in this range, for example. the Pavilion x 2 10-n107na, have a 1 TB drive. These 2 machines appear identical on the outside, so I was wondering if the 10 - 100na has all the required internal connections such as I could slot in my own hard drive.

    All answers gratefully received. Thank you.

    @Huffer

    I noticed that the manual indicates that it is for some models only, but unfortunately there is not any information about who they are.

    I have to disagree with you and say no.

    You cannot add a disk hard unless your x 2 is one of the special types.

    In the manual, you'll notice that even the keyboard, the coverage and the closing of the bottom are different. Take a very close look at this manual.
