Install the hard drive in the ultrabay slot Gets the benefits of the active protection system?

Hi all

I have a 500 GB 7200 RPM hard drive I bought Lenovo and a hard drive caddy that is the thin (so there is a slight gap for those who are curious) on the thinkpad t510. what I was wondering is I dualboot on it (linux on the 500 GB) and I'm wondering if when I use windows, is the second hdd always get protected against shocks and other potentially dangerous damage of active protection system which is present for the hard disk which is preinstalled on your laptop

Based on marketing materials, it seems that the UltraBay has this feature as well.

    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.

    Yes, you can reinstall Windows 7 OEM System Builder License on the new hard drive with the new processor.

    It will not be a problem in this case, since you don't "move" installation, you are doing a new installation. The less it will take is activation of the phone, as you change the hard drive:

    I am currently using Lightroom 4. I bought the IMac with the largest memory, but he has quickly filled. To conserve space on my computer, I bought a hard drive and I tried to get my lightroom back up there. (I don't know if I did it correctly or not) Now, all my photos in Lightroom are "offline or missing", and I have no idea what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I guess you mean not memory and disk space, you want to clear space on the internal drive. Is this correct?

    If you have moved your photos somehow (this is not a backup), please follow these instructions to reconnect photos in Lightroom. Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

    In addition, you must (it is obligatory) make real backups of your database catalog and photos, that means accurate identical copies, made by a method automated and placed on a different physical disk than the originals. Lightroom allows you to make backups of your files of catalog on a regular basis, it is an option under the catalog settings. To make backups of your photos, you need some third party software to do.

  • 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.

  • XPS 8300 - steps to install boot hard drive replacement

    So my original Dell hard drive needs to be replaced because it has been send me errors and it is clearly a failure. If I get a new hard drive, I know how to get into the case and fasten the cables. Should I just turn on the computer with the system recovery disk I created previously? Do I need to 'Drivers and Utilties' disc comes with the computer? I've already invited Dell to the Windows 7 disc, but they never sent (4 years ago). I guess the system recovery disk should be sufficient. For any help or suggestion would be appreciated before I take the plunge.

    Hi Nively,

    Using this recovery disk, you will install the image of hard drive Dell of origin on the new hard drive. So, you will have all the drivers and original applications. Of course, you then need to uninstall all software that you don't want, like for example the MacAfee and install all the updates of Windows.

    Make sure the new drive has the same capacity or greater than your original drive.

  • 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.
