  I need help

  Hi aqm0207,

  How you try to install Windows XP Home Edition?

  You may receive an error message "Stop 0x0000007B" in the following scenarios:

  (a) a device driver that your computer boot controller needs is not configured to start during the startup process.

  (b) a device driver that needs your computer startup controller is damaged.

  (c) It can also occur if the hard drive in the BIOS configuration is bad.

  You can check if the SATA hard drive is correctly configured in the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) & can also update the BIOS. If you are not comfortable to do, you can contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

  Note: Changing the BIOS / chipset can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/chipset can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• HP m9340f, install a second SATA hard drive

  Hello!  I tried to install a second SATA hard drive in my m9340f without success.  It is a 2 TB SATA drive, it should be compatible, but on the power of the system will not even to the last POST.  No message screen or the BIOS errors.  When I disconnect and remove the new drive, the system is back to normal.

  Anyone have any success installing disks second in this model of HP?  This is the first record additional SATA hard I never put in a system, then am I missing a step?

  Thank you!

  Thank you all for the quick responses!

  I was able to fix this by taking two actions:

  (1) I applied an update for my BIOS.

  (2) I went to a reader from different manufacturers.  A Hitachi 2 TB drive did not work, but a Western Digital works perfectly on the first attempt.  It was with the same cable and connection of motherboard that has not worked for Hitachi.

  Please mark this as resolved issue.

  Best regards

• Installing a hard drive SATA 2 with the first hard drive is an IDE hard drive

  I have an M50 - 8187 think Centre and I see on the motherboard and in the manual that there is a 1 SATA and SATA 2 connection. I tried to plug in a SATA 2 hard drive but when I connect it using a SATA data cable, there is nothing recognizable in the BIOS.

  I took a 30 GB IDE HDD and hung like a slave and the BIOS recognized immediately.

  My question is, if a SATA hard drive can be used on the M50 series think Center and if so, what do I do I do get recognized in the BIOS SATA 2 controller. I've updated the BIOS with the latest version, but it did not help. I don't see where in the BIOS to enable the SATA.

  Help about my problem is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

• 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.

• Windows Vista will not complete installation on SATA hard drive

  I tried to install Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit on a new desktop computer Acer X 1200 (less than 1 year).  Vista recognizes the drive, format and copy all the files on the disk installation.  Then restarts, is preparing to launch for the first time and get to the part where it says installation finished and hangs there.  The green progress bar does not move and it hangs indefinitely.  The hard drive is SATA and I put a new disc in hard, but exactly the same thing happened.  The motherboard has no IDE port on it and there is no option in the BIOS for the IDE emulation.  At this point I think the motherboard is bad, but I am working also on a laptop HP 1 year with SATA hard drive that does exactly the same thing.  The two systems are pre-installed with Vista Home Premium.  The two systems see the hard drive, but will not complete installation.  I even tried to run the WD Tools Data Lifeguard before installation with no luck at all.  There is no error message or error code, just of hangs and end no installation.  You have any suggestions for this?  Thank you.

  What was my problem I bought the equipment... like motherboard, memory, cpu, and video

  Vista would not be install.would blow on the end of the installation so I tried to put it natively and it worked!

• Desktop HP Pavilion a420n of does not recognize SATA hard drive

  Hello

  I installed a SATA hard drive as a second hard drive in my office in a420n Paviion and it is not recognized by the computer. I don't belong in the BIOS to enable the SATA drives, only IDE drives. (The main hard drive is IDE). I just upgraded to firmware BIOS Revision 3.08 (11/2004, which is the last on the HP website) and there is still no place to enable SATA only drives in the BIOS screen.

  Of course, the drive may not be detected in Windows XP either.

  I saw an ad on the web about SATA drives that need drivers to work with the a420n, but I don't know if it's true. A man speaks by pressing the F6 key while rebooting, so you can load the driver at the time, but by pressing F6 does nothing to interrupt the normal boot on my machine process.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  Bob

  p.s. I've tried 2 different, an older SATA drives and a brand new - same result

  If the BIOS does not info on the drive connected, then nothing else does.  It could be that this controller simply does not work.  On a Board that old, is probably not an effort worth trying a material difficulty.

  Using an external enclosure for the drive, it is probably the best bet.

• 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.

  The word "support" has a connotation that is specific to HP - it usually means were that he tested with, sold with, etc.   I do not think that these discs were available when this system was built/designed, and thus the moniker "supported" official cannot be assured.

  Everything that is said - I see not where there is a problem with this player.   I have a m9600t HP of a similar vintage - I swapped my Seagate 750 GB drive for a 7200 RPM Hitachi 2 TB drive and added an another 2 TB "Green" WD drive as a secondary drive.   No problems.

  I have used Ghost of Norton to clone the old boot HDD on the Hitachi.  Made sure the D: drive Alias: "recovery partition" was kept the same size and then said Norton to use all the space of the new to develop on the c: drive.  Works very well.   The WD drive - I partitioned as a large drive E:.   Made sure to partition to NTFS.

  Your mileage may vary - but I think it should work correctly...
