• Install a second hard drive in a G10-133

  Two questions for you...

  I would like to install a second hard drive in my G10-133. Specifically, I'm looking for a second disc 80gig (MK8026GAX). Does anyone have experience of installing a second drive like that?

  Secondly, I know where to buy the disc. But, someone has any advice on the carriage-drive itself (ie. the piece of kit that holds the drive in place in the Bay)? Specifically, where can I get one?

  Everyone applauded.

  Hello Andrew

  In my opinion, you can build a second HDD, but the two HARD drives must have the same size.
  As far as I know the 80 GB HARD drive is compatible with your device.
  In addition the second HDD must be set as a slave HARD drive. You can set the jumper in the correct position.

  Best regards

  Hello

  You need two cables, one is a sata cable:

  This cable is only for data and connect the hard drive to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

  The other cable is energy:

  It connects the hard drive to the PSU.

  You can also buy a combo like this cable:

  All you have to do is to connect the hard drive and that's it. Make sure that the main drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are the numbers 1, 2, 3...)

• Possible to install the second hard drive in the p6110f Pavilion

  Is it possible to install a second hard drive, 1 TB Seagate, in the expansion on my Pavillion p6110f slot?

  Hello

  Your PC has a hard drive cage which will host two disks.  This how-to - HP document from removing a hard drive will show you the process to remove the hard drive cage.

  If you want to continue using the Expansion Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 3.5" adapter support. NewEgg.com would bring such a support.  You also need a SATA data cable.  This how-to - HP article will give you an idea on how to use Expansion with a 5.25 device Bay ".  Check by the optical drinve for a spare SATA power connector.  If it is not available, then you will need to use a SATA power splitter.

• Dell Inspiron 560 install a second hard drive

  I am wanting to know if it is possible to run both hard drives in this computer to the max storage?

  Derplax

  Yes, the Inspiron 560 MT supports two 3.5 "SATA internal hard drives.

  Dell has not released written instructions for adding an additional SATA hard drive in the 560 MT

  But as the Tower of 530 Dell Mini has the same chassis, the same procedures can be used.

  Instructions for the installation of a second hard drive physically here are:

  http://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/Inspiron-530_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.PDF

  After you install the second hard drive, enter the BIOS Setup] and ensure that the drive is enabled [on].

  Then partition, format the hard drive and it assigned a drive letter by using disk management.

• Install a second hard drive on Optiplex 780 Mini-Tower

  I recently bought an Optiplex 780 minitower with Windows 7 DellRefurbished.com and I am happy with the machine. I would now like to add a second SATA hard drive that I bought, for which a power connector is available in the machine (the current hard drive is 250G and so is the other, I want to install.)

  However, the two ports of SATA cable on the motherboard are used, one for the existing drive and one for the CD - DVD drive. I understand that there may be a separator for a SATA data cable (as there were once two connections on some slick IDE cables).

  According to Belarc Advisor, the jury is Dell 0C27VV A03. Is it possible to install a second hard drive using a USB-to-SATA cable to the CD - DVD drive or the second hard drive? If so, set up a card with an internal USB connection USB PCI adapter? (I have more open slots). Or is there already a USB connection on the motherboard?

  Any advice, including suggestions on the parts that I need to get, are appreciated. I see that I can buy a USB-to-SATA cable that has two USB connectors and two sets of pins of connection to the hard drive. I assume that one of the USB connections is for power to the player. I wouldn't need, because the connection of the power supply is already here and elsewhere I wonder if I can get two the casing with a PCI card USB connections. Is there a USB-to-SATA cable with only the connection of data on the disk?

  The Manual explains the minitower 780 has 4 ports SATA motherboard and 2 interns, so you drive bays devriez have a place to plug in a second hard drive. (The desktop systems and small form factor 780 have 3 SATA ports). Unfortunately, the manual has a diagram of motherboard layout, so I don't know where the 2 other ports would be.

  The motherboard is compatible SATA1a and SATA2. A SATA3 drive must be retro-compatible with a SATA2 motherboard, but won't work on SATA2 data transfer speed. So the price of a SATA2 drive vs a SATA3 drive and the potential future use could be considerations.

  If you think that you will - eventually - upgrading to a new PC with a card mother SATA3, the new system would be able to handle the maximum speed of a SATA3 drive, but only works at speed SATA2 with a SATA2 drive.

  You will need to buy a data cable SATA for your new hard drive, but it's only a little extra money...

  If the manual is not correct (?) on the number of ports SATA on the motherboard, the system is supposed to have an on the rear panel eSATA port, so you can connect a player external eSATA HARD drive as an alternative.

• try to install a second hard drive

  I am installing a second hard drive on my XPS 200, but after the opening to the top of my CPU, I do not think there is another agreement of power or room for me to add one in there. If that's the case I want to upgrade my hard drive... How can I transfer all my files on my hard drive and my OS nine if the old and new hard disks can be connected at the same time? Can I do if I buy an external hard drive and back up my entire system on it?

  
  

• Tecra W50 - cannot start when installing the second hard drive (caddy).

  Hi all
  I have a Tecra W50 PT640A 04103NN1.
  When a second hard drive is installed in the Bay of DVD player cell phone will try to boot from the drive bay, not the internal drive
  This second drive has no operating system installed and so the fails to start.

  If I hit F12 at startup and select HARD drive, while the machine starts correctly. That is starts on the main hard drive.
  Change the order of boot in the BIOS makes all the difference; He will always try to boot from the second drive bay drive first.

  All known A it works correctly?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Doppelfrog,
  I had the same problem with my W50, got my HDD caddy a few days ago.
  You have a bit of luck to fix this problem?
  I believe that the Bios for this laptop is not developed to serve both drives (like the computer I had that one drive Bay) and it is not possible to prioritize the witch THAT HDD should start first...

  Kind regards

• Envy 17-J111tx: second hard drive for the Envy 17

  I really want to add another SSD or HARD disk. My question is what size should I buy and it would be compatible with SATA 2 or 3? I will void the warranty of my mobile during installation it?

  Hello

  Through 2, 24, 41-43 page in this manual:

  You can put 3 SATA, they are backward compatible with SATA 2 HARD drive also

  Size: 7mm or 9. 5 mm compatible

  You must purchase additional hard drive support (number of HP 720237-001) to second hard drive.

  Replacement procedures are included in the manual. It is relatively easy to install. It will void the warranty if something goes wrong due to replacement by you. Contact HP service center for help.

• What needs to install a second hard drive in the XPS 410 desktop computer

  I want to install an internal drive repaired as a second drive in my office, so I can recover the data. A few threads in this area and I see support. Would just need a SATA HD cable? The power cable would already be there?

  userx_076

  Requires addititional hard drive, a SATA data cable and a power connector SATA, the default XPS 410 has a SATA power connector power to spare for a second hard drive.

  You will need to buy a SATA data cable, probably a 24 "x 90 * [square] x 180 * right SATA cable, similar to the cable as shown here:"

• Installing a second hard drive

  I have windows 8.1 in my computer but I want to add a new hard drive and install windows 7 on it, I believe that this is possible, right?

  Hi Felix,

  Thank you for your reply and sorry for the late reply.

  According to the description, I understand that you have a preinstalled Windows 8.1 computer and you want to add a new hard drive and install Windows 7 on it (separate hard drive all together).

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information.

  1. Is the second hard drive, an external hard drive?
  2. These disks are configured through the RAID technology?

  You can install Windows OS on different hard drives, but you need to change the boot sequence whenever you want to start the other operating system installed on the other hard drive. This is because the system of input output basic (BIOS) checks the primary boot device and then the process of starting from there.

  Note: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Alternatively, you can install the second operating system on the same hard disk by creating a separate partition. For more information, please visit:
