Install additional hard drive on HP Pav p6202f

I have maxed out my 'C' drive (& my "Factory" is now in the Red) and want to add a disk hard extra 2 t.  I have no problem to enter the Pavilion or the withdrawal of the HDD cage that contains now the C"" drive.  My question is this:

1) there are 2 options available on cable (P3 & P5) beam - which should I use?

2) there are 2 options available on the motherboard power source (SATA # & SATA4) which should I use?

(3) once it is plugged in, can I just move all the 'C' existing to the new disk, shut down the computer, make the wiring harnesses and use the 2 new t as my 'C' drive and clean the old 'C' drive and use it as extra memory?

(4) will automatically be windows 7 rechognize the new drive and format? or is there a procedure I need to follow?

(5) I'm going to be VERY optimistic and say when it's over, what else can I add or change my computer to improve its performance?

Thank you!!!

Your making a hypothesis that is not valid. So let's restart your process.

The link to the wizard disk Seagate (the downloadable program) was valid, but I'll him direct more the manual.

Unplug the power cord. Place the unit on its side, open side panel. Disconnect your DVD data and power cables.  (temporarily the measure). Connect the new drive with these cables. You can ask/prop the new drive on a piece of cardboard. Reconnect the power cord and computer to boot.  The next is to know how to prepare the new hard drive, then READ very carefully TWICE before taking any action.

Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, then:

Lets check in disk management. Your startup disk will appear a Disk0. Stay away that.

The added disk should appear as Disk1. It's the "new" command

  • Click on a region not allocated on your "new" hard disk1 and then click New Simple Volume.
  • In the new Volume Simple Wizard, click Next.
  • Type the size of the volume you want to create in megabytes (MB) or accept the maximum size by default, and then click Next.
  • Accept the default drive letter or choose a different drive letter to identify the partition, and then click Next.
  • In the Formater Partition dialog box, do one of the following:
    • If you don't want to format the volume right now, click on do not format this volume and then click Next.
    • To format the volume with the default settings, click Next.

Review your choices and then click Finish.

The formatting process can take more than an hour. To relax. Do not leave the screen. Do not charge anything. After that it ends...

Read the instructions of the wizard disk. He explains how to clone the old drive. When the cloning program is complete, it will reboot. After that, pop a message, something like 'Diskwizard Complete. "  Turning off power then swap out hard disks physically and re - connect the DVD player.  The old drive is now disconnected. Restart the system. If everything is correct, power down, then replace side panel. Enjoy.

  • OS x 10.8 guest - do not install additional hard drives at startup

    Hello

    I am running OSX ML 10.8.3 and Fusion 5.0.3 and whirl ML 10.8.3 and.app as a guest for Netboot and DeployStudio.

    I added additional virtual hard disks for this virtual machine for the storage of the image. They are IDE, drives hard line - standard stuff. Several times when I start the guest additional drives do not mount. In disk utility I see them but can mount them, and if I do a repair disk it just runs forever, does nothing I think. If I restart the guest they sometimes mount and are fine, no damage. Other times I have to restart several times to get them.

    Has anyone else seen elsewhere?

    Thank you

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Is there a reason you chose IDE instead of SCSI?

    Recent versions of Mac OS doesn't get along well with the virtual hard drives on our emulated PIIX4 IDE controller, which is why we default to SCSI drives creating Mac OS VMs and the addition of hard drives for them.  I strongly recommend that stick you with a SCSI virtual hard drives for Mac OS clients.

    See you soon,.

    Yes but only in storage. Add the old drive with the newmodeus.com cable and caddy in the second hard drive Bay. Connect the cable. The old drive should appear in Windows Explorer with a drive letter if it is formatted and partitioned. If it is empty, it should be formatted and partitioned.

  • Can I add an additional hard drive storage?

    A 40 GB hard drive, I installed in my computer and I would like to know what would be the best practice to install an additional hard drive?

    A 40 GB hard drive, I installed in my computer and I would like to know what would be the best practice to install an additional hard drive?

    Basically, you have two choices:

    1. install a second hard drive (only possible if your computer has physical space for this)

    2. replace your 40 GB with a bigger drive.

    If you add or replace, there are two important factors you need to consider size and interface type.  Most laptops use 2.5-inch disks.  Most of office/towers use 3.5-inch disks.  There are several different hard drive interfaces, and you get a drive that has the same interface as your computer.

    Most older computers use the Parallel ATA interface (PATA or sometimes simply ATA).  These discs are also called IDE disks.  There are several variations, but those generally available today is the Ultra ATA66 IDE / ATA - 5, Ultra ATA100 IDE / ATA - 6 and the Ultra ATA133 IDE / ATA-7.  The numbers refer to the data transfer rate.  No matter the data transfer capacity of the disc, however, your actual data transfer rates will be limited by your motherboard.  Finally, you'll notice an RPM rating and a size of "cache".  For the performance, in general, the higher these numbers the better the performance.

    Number of computers more recent uses the interface Serial ATA (SATA).  There are three versions of the present.  SATA-1 (1.5 Gbps), SATA-2 (3 Gbps) and SATA-3 (6 Gbps).  However, given that you currently have a 40 GB drive, it is strong enough to bet that you have NOT of SATA.

    Another interface is SCSI.  You have probably not SCSI.

    The starting point is by identifying the brand and model of your computer.  If you have a desktop/Tower computer, you can buy almost any hard drive, that you like; laptops can be a bit more picky.  A good resource for readers (once you know what you want) is newegg.com  Drive Solutions offer one advice that should tell you what players are compatible with your computer.

    If you choose to replace rather than add them, you will need to 'clone' of your existing to the new drive.  To do this, you will need appropriate software.  Sometimes, the software basic disk of cloning comes with the disk (remember to read the product description or email/call the seller before you buy).  Sometimes, it is available as a free download from the manufacturer of the drive (for example, if you buy a Western Digital drive, WD has "Acronis True Image WD Edition Software").  Or you can get your own copy of various applications of cloning, some are free, but more for sale.

    If you replace a laptop (or a drive in a desktop/tower with no computer available drive Bay), you can buy an external hard drive enclosure.  There are a variety of them.  Just be sure to get one with the internal interface correctly to match the drive and an external interface that is compatible with your computer (usually, USB 2.0).  External hard disk enclosure are sometimes comes with disk cloning software.  And, once your new drive is in place and functioning satisfactorily, you can put the old drive in the box and erase (format) it and use it as a backup drive.

    Above sounds a lot more complicated than it is.  You will probably find even the process YouTube videos, if you look at.

    Always learning, is never too late

    Not sure if you have the ultra thin or small form factor (if)... but I don't see why you shouldn't be able to add an additional hard drive. In fact, HP has even some videos of support on how to do...

    If you have the data and power cable attached, the reader should appear under the general tab of the BIOS. You shouldn't have to do something with jumpers on the drive and it does not matter what sata connector you put it in.

  • 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.

    Hi Merlin,

    Thank you for the information.

    Have you tried to run a check disk from the BIOS (Basic Input Output System)? If this isn't the case, you can try to do a hard drive from the BIOS test & see if the problem still occurs.

    If you are not comfortable with the BIOS, you you contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  • Install a hard drive

    Original title: Pedro

    Y at - it a problem if I (temporarily) install a hard drive in my PC of capacity equal to one he has (both 1 T). I know that a hard drive with a lower capacity would cause the original HD does not work when the reinstalled (500 MB in an original HD 1 TB).

    Thank you for your advice.

    Pedro

    You can give more details about what you are considering, but--

    "I don't know a hard drive with a lower capacity would cause the original HD does not work when the reinstalled"

    You can install the variable capacity HARD drives and mix the SSD HARD drive. Mixture of capacity should not

    normally cause any HARD disk to stop working.

    -What you need to be careful when you install a HARD drive in the case, is not Exchange not the cable on the

    Windows HARD disk is installed on a different SATA port (what good practice dictates as Port 0)

    If you do not have what you need to rearrange the order in the BIOS Boot section (or change again the cables),

    or the machine can "read" the HARD drive badly and not start Windows (depending on the configuration of the BIOS).

    Examples:

    -J' have a machine with an e-SATA docking station I can pop any HARD drive in.

    I have backup of HDD of 80 GB, 320 GB, 500 GB and 1 TB.

    (This machine has a SSD and 2 TB HDD installed)

    I also use that HDD dock for a 'double' boot Win10 from an another SSD

    (Win7 is installed in the case, then I have to change the BIOS boot option when I change from one OS to the other).

    -My second machine (with an SSD, 500 GB and 1 TB HDD installed) doesn't have the luxury of a

    e SATA dock, so with this one, I use a spare door HARD disc that came with the case and the spare SATA and

    cable to connect temporarily HDD with the stop sign and the HARD disk on the table

    (power off and disconnected so that the implementation).

    This is not a practical method for the weak and not heated, but works well with my old HARD drives.

    For most people, using a HARD "external" drive that comes in its own case with a cable USB or e-SATA

    connection is the best option.
