Installation DVD on Pavilion a1210n 2nd drive

Recently, I replaced the original 740 HP DVD burner on this computer with a new LG DVD burner. This new DVD burner works OK. Now I think about adding a 2nd DVD burner.  When I replaced the DVD recorder, the power cord has been labeled "P2".  For the 2nd DVD Burner, y at - it a specific cord, I should be looking?  Also, when I connect the IDE cable, does make a difference how to set the jumper?  The main burner should be set to Master? Or the player would be the master.

Thank you

That HP tech is not very competent.

Tutorial on how to burn data to the media:

1. use quality media... Taiyo Yuden is better.  Word for Word is also very good.  Sony and TDK can be hit or miss.  Go with the two most important suppliers and you will be fine.  Check out the store (Meritline) online for the Yuden media.  It costs a little more, but who wouldn't want to protect important data.

2nd burn up to 12 x for CD - R and DVD - RW 4 x.  For DVD + R and DVD-R, limit the burning speed 8 x max.  I prefer x 4.

3. When you copy a CD or a DVD, the burning software will read data and cache on the hard drive.  As the speed of the hard drive transfer is more stable that the DVD ROM, your chance to create a roller coaster will draw near to zero if you copy the data on the hard drive, then to burn the data from the hard drive on the CD/DVD.

In summary, always transfer the data on the hard drive before burning data on blank media.  Burning on the fly may save you a few minutes (the time to read the data on the hard drive), but you will sacrifice quality of burning and chances to create a roller coaster.

  • Pavilion dv9417ca: 2nd HARD drive in dv9417.ca for laptop

    Can I install a 2nd hard drive in the Bay of 2nd?

    Yes but I think that it is limited to 250 GB and will be pure storage... not bootable. You may need a caddy and the connector.

  • 2nd drive HARD drive caddy optical Bay - Pavilion dv6700

    Hello world

    I hope someone here can help with that, because I'm out of ideas...

    I've recently updated the primary drive of my laptop dv6700 (dv6820es) with an SSD. I did a new install of Win_7_32 and there is no problem at all.

    But this record is not that great, so I decided to plug in the SATA HARD disk-old through the optical drive Bay in order to have the storage capacity. For this, I ordered a SATA-to-PATA caddy that fits perfectly.

    The big problem now is to make this combination of work:

    • Behavior of the BIOS: it is difficult to say if the BIOS detects the drive properly, as long as this model of the BIOS is pretty poor in the configuration/information options. In any case, when I press F9 with the 2nd HARD drive plugged in, a new startup option appears as well as the SSD and is listed as "7. Notebook hard drive. The HARD drive is spinning too. Because of what I guess that the BIOS detects, at least, 'something' (but again, I can't tell if the HARD drive as it is or just some unknown decive). Moreover, the BIOS is updated to the latest available version: l58 A.
    • Behavior of Windows: for what I can see, Windows behaves as if the reader was not there. Nothing in the "Device Manager" and nothing in the "Disk Manager", just the SSD drive is detected. With one exception, in one of the restarts a lot I did the player that presented themselves. The usual text bubble said 'installation disk... ". ", and apparently it installed fine. After installation, there was this new IDE drive "" under "Drives" in the "Windows Device Manager". Well, it seems to work! But unfortunately, I've seen my hopes be disappointed in the next step, when you try to initialize the drive through the "Disk Manager". First of all, it took a long time (like 4-5 minutes) with the program that 'think', finally launch one of these errors of the infamous 'cyclic redundancy. I rebooted, but the player was not there yet. And he never showed up again, just this time.

    Sad thing is that I can't tell what makes the difference. I updated some things like the drivers of Intel chip, Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver (not really necessary, I suppose, but just in case)... throughout this process. But in fact nothing in particular time it almost worked.

    My ATA drivers are the most recent available for my chipset AHCI. Is there a driver I'm missing? Is there an impossibility for the 2nd HDD (PATA) to work with the SSD works in AHCI mode?

    Well, I think it's all (sorry for the long post). Maybe someone has endured/solved a similar problem.

    Please share your knowledge

    Hi Erico,

    Sorry for the confusion of information.

    The HARD drive is a SATA drive and the optical drive is a PATA drive, so I used a caddy SATA-PATA. Something like that:

    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?Main_Page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=226

    (Although the one I ordered is not the manufacturer)

    Whereas, although the HARD drive is a SATA drive, it should be detected as a PATA one. Is it possible to make interfaces SATA AHCI as PATA work together? Is not in this case. Need a motherboard very ethusiast and advanced BIOS level.

    [Edit: the chipset is, moreover, of the Mobile Intel 965 Express Family.]

    Perhaps that the liaison has a cable better than purchased translation Setup. A lot of people seem to be satisfied with it.

    The physical connection of hard disks must be of the same type for the reason that I expressed in my previous post, unless there is a translation of the work cable between SATA and PATA.

    If your laptop has a double drive Bay and you have installed the drive in the Bay with a caddy and cable SATA cononector it would be simple.

  • Replacing HP Pavilion-e070sl hard drive with an ssd, how to re - install windows 8 64?

    Hello

    I recently buyed a Hp Pavilion-e070sl delivered pre-installed with W 8 64 and I need to know how the name of God how can I reinstall the operating system, since there was no installation dvd disc in the box? Or better (if we exclude the recovery manager and windows recovery disk), if somehow the hard drive does not work and I can't revive the laptop only by replacing one damaged by a new, how do I re - install the OS? And no, I want to order and pay twice.

    Any idea will be useful.

    Thanks in advance.

    You are the very welcome.

    Try to do the recovery with your old hard drive first media and see if it would work.

    If this isn't the case, then I guess you have nothing to lose to see if the English version of the W8 will be install and activate it, but I don't know if you can change the language.

    If you can, great.

  • Back up my data with installation DVD

    I want to transfer my data to an external with installation DVD drive because my Mac OS isn't bootable anymore because of the sierra of mac os. So I'll do a new install of snow leopard on my macbook late 2009. Does anyone know how to transfer my data in my external drive across the disc of the DVD Installer prior to installation of Snow Leopard sanitation? Somone told me to do it this way, but I don't know how.

    I recommend strongly against from any attempt of recovery/reinstallation without a valid (and verified) backup on a different disk. As you are still able to boot the system with the installation DVD, you can

    • use Disk Utility on the installation DVD to create a full backup of your internal drive to an external
    • copy /Applications and /Users to an external drive (which should focus on 'all' critical data)

    Then comes to an attempt of resettlement.

    You can restore your data after the installation of the operating system. First make a note of bookmark, password or registration required by your system.

    Perform a full backup with time machine, then restart with your installation dvd, then reinstall the operating system

    When Setup restarts, you can restore your data with the migration wizard.

    When possible, you should do a clean install with 3rd party applications and drivers HW until the migration may or may not be compatible with the older operating system and removes the possibility of corruption of preference.

  • Installation DVD does not recognize my internal HD on a 2008 iMac

    I'm looking for suggestions here.  My 94 year old mother has used the iMac 2008 8.1 for internet e-mail.  We needed to upgrade its OS X 10.5 to be able to upgrade to a new version of safari to access some banking sites.  I upgraded the memory.  Sister has an iMac with OS X 10.6.2 Installation/restore dvd 2010.  I went to update.  I have caused the initial problem because after reading info seemed I could create a second partition on the hard drive of 250 GB and use Time Machine to back up before preceding.  See not all the warnings on the addition of the partition. (Yes, if I had not forgotten my external hard drive I should not try that, but I forgot it.)  Things seemed to make the partition, but time machine bogged down and hung up.  After trying many things, I found myself deleting and resetting on the internal extended (journaled) using HD, recreating a single partition using the guidelines GUID, thinking that I could just do a clean reinstall.  BUT, while I can check/fix delete etc the internal disk utility when HD started from my external hard drive so I boot from the OS install DVD it does not recognize the internal HD.   ? ? ?   Gives cannot update this post Mac.  If I run the Setup from the beginning of the disk upward once again, no offers to go to in the installation program.  I can access everything in THE RUNOFF when the post boot drive.

    Why THE works on the internal HD of the post start up (which was made with the 10.6.2 installation DVD), but not when started to leave the DVD left me puzzled. The DVD is not just see the it.  When it is started from the DVD with the external drive, he sees very well.   You are looking for ideas, thank you in advance.  By the Way the machine had no problem before starting this :) live and learn!

    If I understand what you were doing, you tried to use a Mac installation disc and to update another Mac? Is this correct?

    If I am not mistaken, which simply does not work. The installation provided with Mac discs won't work on another Mac, the original installation discs are machine-specific.

  • The OSX 10.4 installation DVD can be installed on a completely wiped Mac?

    I have an iBook G3, with the type of disc loading slot. At present, it has an operating system installed. I found a DVD of 10.4 Installation on craigslist for very cheap, but I know that this type of disk requires that a previous installation of 10.3 be on the hard disk. I have no idea, and I don't want to buy the DVD to see that it does not work. Here is a picture of the disc:

    Can it be installed on a Mac without any version of Mac OS x on the hard drive, and if not, is there a workaround or modification that I can do to make it work?

    There is a part number on the DVD, so maybe it's a way to know if the DVD 'install' is or

    isn't wall installation or upgrade to OSX earlier. What is visible in the image, it does

    not seem to be an update for version 10.3 Panther. And a gray-label would indicate the disk

    was designed for use with a Mac specific build version only. So far, she poses as an installation DVD full.

    The iBook G3 (white and colors) do not comes with an optical drive to load per slot. Yours is a G4?

    From what I can tell by observing that the Tiger DVD install image you posted, it most of the

    not match a full installation DVD Tiger, that I still have in the official retail box.

    Mine says:

    Mac OS X Tiger includes 2 XCode

    Version 10.4 2Z691-5305-A

    If you have access to the actual DVD, try searching for the item by part number; If it is hidden

    in the picture you posted, so I can't say what I see enough search. And the numbers I do

    See are not among those listed in the database MacTracker which shows all OS X build versions.

    {Something on an installation of Tiger DVD, is the content of the disc is compatible with the capacity of a

    Media single layer; so if you need to, you could make a backup of emergency with the old style drive

    optical drive. {Later versions of OS X have more content and a double-layer disc would be required.}

    Should the cost for the DVD be really cheap and compose a full retail disk, which can be large.

    Install sites such as welovemacs and others who used to deal with the old system of out of stock

    media, sometimes, you can see what they ask if they have a few for sale again.

    This page includes pictures of the media the retail labels more old OS X install original disks:

    {Even though I have a few original on DVD, the oldest media of retail OS X disks that I have is Jaguar or Puma;

    I have a tiger in the retail box & the image you show looks like an installation-in-all support Mac DVD.}

    Are you sure that your iBook is a white G3, or is this a G4? You say that it is an optical drive slot-loading;

    G3 models all had tray optical drives. I used to own a first white model dualUSB G3

    and no iBook G3 models use an optical drive "slot-loading". It was only the first iBook G4... And I have

    have a last G4 iBook model perfect condition, always close. It comes with 10.4 Tiger gray-label.

    Hi guys,.

    I've never had a problem installing Windows 7 via bootcamp on my Mac, but it seems an impossible feat, right now! :))

    I have a Windows 7 bootable *.iso, but since I'm on 2010 Macbook Pro, I have to burn it to a DVD and install from there (I can't find the disk of valuable facilities).

    It is, every time that I burn it, it does not get recognized as a bootable DVD with bootcamp and not appear as a boot disk in the selection screen, you need to keep alt right after the startup chime.

    I tried at different speeds (2 x, 4 x, 8 x). I tried to convert the image using disk utility and selection of DVD/CD master and burning at different speeds.

    I'm in two DVD and I don't know what to do :) I've got El Capitan installed (so less disk utility options).

    Please help! :))

  • Only UEFI won't boot Windows Installation DVD

    As you can see on my subject matter, my phone W520 won't boot from my Windows 7 Installation DVD when it is set to UEFI mode only. I get no error or anything, just the screen goes black for a second and go back to the Start Menu and when I select the DVD player. For what it's worth, my hard drive is already partitioned GPT, and I need to repair the installation.

    Before you ask for help, I just want to mention that I created this particular Installation DVD of Windows 7 using the all-in-one tutorial that I have 32-bit and 64 - bit options all on the same disc.

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  • Windows 7 x 64 installation DVD does not start on a Dell XPS One 2710

    I apologize in advance for the long post...

    Just got a Dell XPS One 2710.  Lot has happened, but let me clarify the current number as briefly as possible: the machine does not start from the HARD internal disk or the Windows 7 Installer x 64 DVD.  He gets through loading files and then gray progress bar when its colorful animation it blue screens with error CACHE_MANAGER.

    I ran the diagnostic, including tests extended memory tests, and they have not found any error in what either.

    When I was troubleshooting this problem previously, in some sort the motherboard got bricks (I don't know what exactly I did to cause that), but Dell has since replaced.  The first motherboard had BIOS version A09.  It has installed A11.

    I can't find any BIOS settings combination that will allow even the Installer Windows DVD to start with the Blue error screen CACHE_MANAGER.  I tried the UEFI boot modes and legacy, I tried RAID and AHCI.  I tried with and without loading legacy OPROMs.

    What I ultimately do is set the start mode of RAID so that I can use the SSD mSATA as a cache ("Accelerate" in the Intel RST Panel).  But I can not even the installer to start on where I can load drivers RST (assuming it's even necessary).

    Other posts have suggested problems with memory, but I took each of the two DIMMS one at a time and I always had the same problem.

    Should I suspect the hard drive?  When we arrived at the machine, he seemed to be running Windows 8 very well - until we went on the way to the side dark and downgraded to Windows 7.  Then once we started to have errors on updates, things has quickly degenerated from there.  In addition, again, diagnoses don't find any problems.

    Any suggestions on how to get at least this puppy to start?   .. .or what have we done wrong?

    Thanks EJN.  It turns out that there is certainly a hardware problem on this machine.  It was a refurbished Dell making machine and apparently when they renovated the it, they missed the real problem.

    The way I know that it is material, it's that we bought actually 2 of them at the same time.  When I started to suspect the material, I decided to try this process on the other.  He worked like a knife through hot butter.  But I will say that the combination of the BIOS set to boot legacy mode and still start the installation with the option to UEFI DVD in the start menu was not easy to understand at first.  But when I followed the correct steps, everything worked very well.

    For those of you who might try this, here are a few things I learned along the way:

    1. According to EJN, take the time to get/burn a CD to install Windows 7 x 64 that already has SP1 on it.  If you go to preserve the UEFI partitions and the boot hard disk, you must have x 64.  x 86 (32-bit) does not support UEFI.

    2 unzip the RAID drivers to the * root * your USB flash or floppy drive and have it in the machine when you start the installation DVD.  I could be wrong, but it seemed to me that the installer looked for them without having to explicitly say it loads the me.

    3. as said EJN, set your BIOS boot legacy mode but use F12 at startup to bring up the Windows Boot Manager and start the installation in UEFI boot mode DVD.  If you want to implement an SSD as cache for your hard disk, you will need to set the SATA controller in RAID mode.

    4. I had partitions UEFI and was able to leave them intact.  Here's a very brief explanation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744301%28v=ws.10%29.aspx your results may vary.

    5 take this one as a possible suggestion that is worth what you pay for it: when I got the USB with RAID drivers at the root before starting the installation DVD, I didn't need to load the drivers explicitly.  As I said, it seems that the installation program has been smart enough to find and load what it takes, but honestly, I don't know.  When I load them explicitly, I got errors saying that the installer could not install on the partition, I had chosen.  Makes me think that I could have loaded both times.  What worked for me was NOT explicitly their cargo.

    6. you MUST be at your PC when Setup has completed copy and unpack the installation files.  Don't forget that you have your BIOS set to start legacy mode.  So when he tries to restart to complete the installation, it will try to start using the table inherited from on your hard disk - who is not here because you did a UEFI installation with partitions for UEFI.  So when Setup restarts the first time, you might as well get into the BIOS here and choose the UEFI boot mode.  If you do not, you will need to grab it whenever it restarts using F12 and manually tell it to boot from your hard drive using the UEFI.

    These steps, you should get installed and running.  But another thing I had to understand that when first, I installed and executed the dashboad Intel RST, there is no acceleration option even if my mSATA SSD was found healthy.  I found that if it is formatted and partitioned, you actually go into Disk Manager and delete the partition before the RST dashboard he sees as available for use as a cache.

    I hope this helps others out of me.  It's a heck of a lot easier when the hardware is not bad!

    I need to download the iso of Windows installation DVD or usb 7.1 when started by the BIOS.

    My office uses Vista, and it seems to have a built-in code that prevents a download.  Where should I go from here?

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?
