Installation of the third hard drive? I have a Pavilion 1090 t.

I have a Pavilion 1090 t and I want to install a third hard drive. I find only two on the motherboard sata ports that are side by side. How can I connect the third sata drive?

Hello

You can use the back ESATA ports for a hard drive that is in a powered drive ESATA external enclosure.  I did this work.  However, you won't be able to RAID ESATA port devices.  I use my external ESATA drives for backups. I usually use a box 2.5 "because it is very portable.  If you don't mind working with a naked drive, then you can also use a station 'dockiing drive '.  www.Newegg.com has what need you.

  • Installation of the 2nd hard drive internal

    I have a HP Pavilion a6750y, with an internal hard drive and a LightScribe DVD Super Multi burner.  The system is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit, with 8 GB of RAM.

    I want to install a 2nd internal hard drive... If all goes well.

    The original hard drive goes SATA1 on the motherboard.

    The DVD player will SATA2 on the motherboard.

    So, obviously, I chose SATA3 on the motherboard to connect my cable purchased and only plugged SATA 2nd hard disk.  So far so good.  Now the problem...

    I did not know that the SATA drives have a power connector different than the old records.  So, a single SATA power connector goes to the original drive and the other for the DVD player.  There is no third party.

    All other power connectors are old white 4 holes plastic ones.  And like 5 of them.

    If I'm screwed?  How can I get another SATA power connector?  Are there adapters that connect to the 'old' white maybe?

    Or do I have to buy a new power supply with 3 SATA connectors on this subject?

    Thanks for our help.

    Hi Mike,.

    All you need is an adapter like the one on the link below.

  • Correct installation of the new hard drive for Windows 7

    Have a disk hard fatal crash with Dell OEM Windows 7on, so I bought a new hard drive compatible system and have my old system Win 7/recovery of data on a memory stick. It's been years that last I formatted, partitioned and installed an operating system on a new hard drive and I totally forgot how it's done. Vaguely remember some DOS commands were required to work out of BIOS (?). Can anyone list the individual measures to be taken, assuming that the hard drive is physically installed and turned on? It would be a great help!

    Unless this stick memory has on her installation files as well, you cannot reinstall win7 on the new hard drive

    You will need the DVD / or the ISO of Win7.

    ]

    And no you do not need BACK. Just the dvd or ISO / to boot from. Then you can format / partition in the configuration screen

  • Try adding the third hard drive for HP p6232p

    Hello

    I'm pretty well a beginner, so I hope I can explain this well.

    I have a new HP p6232p desktop computer.  I am interested to install a new HDD SATA Seagate Barracuda 250 GB I have on-site as a spare.  (I already have OEM and a second hard drive installed and working correctly.)  I wonder if this computer allows a third hard drive.

    I placed the third disc in a pleasant and safe place and plugged the thin cord, red. This cord will go clear hard drive to a blue connector on the motherboard.  (There was also a yellow slot available.)  For the wide cord, I used a short adapter to change the pins to four pins.  It has been connected to one of the white gizmos, four holes (sorry, don't know what to call it).

    So, I pulled to the top of the computer and it does not automatically detect the new hard drive.  In the BIOS, there is no indication of it.  I couldn't not listed in Control Panel - Device Manager - hard drives.

    I bought the hard drive hoping to resurrect my old computer, which did not work.  As I can't return the drive to the store, I thought I would go ahead and try to put it to good use.  (If it does not work maybe I'll try to sell it on eBay or Craig's list).

    I wonder what I'm doing wrong?  Any thoughts (in easy to understand language, please ) would be most appreciated!

    If the bios does not show the port you plugged into with an attached device, then a port this bios is disabled or if you have equipment/wiring problems.  If you click on the bios ports and press ENTER, you should be able to see if it is enabled or disabled.  This is how works my bios.

    I don't want to scare you, but there are a lot of posts here on Seagate hard drives.

    Once the bios sees the port with your attached drive, then you should be good. If you use a new reader new and unformatted, then once you start, then go to disk management and look for your new device. You will need it initialized by right mouse clicking on your new device and then proceed from there.

  • replace the old hard drive with nine in Pavilion dv2019tu

    my laptop had toshiba 320 GB hard disk that does not work, then I want to install a new hard drive to it, will this model support 1 TB HDD?, and what is the maximum ram it can support?

    Please quick answer, I do not have any other pc to continue my work.

    Your Service Manual:

    Manual

    Max Mamory is 2 GB. I'm sorry.

    AMD model series versions has been reported to have difficulties even with hard drives of 500 GB. There has never been a logical explanation. Since it is SATA it must accept any drive SATA 2.5 inch width 9.5 mm thick. However, the reports were many and not lightly ignored. I can not find plug on the dv2019tu so if it has an Intel processor, I would say that you're good to go with a 1 TB SATA drive, as long as it is not thicker than 9.5 mm. Also pay attention to the connecting piece plastic on the old hard drive. It is necessary to connect the SATA ports on the drive to the motherboard. You have to use it again.

  • Satellite Pro L650: Windows could not complete the installation on the new HARD drive

    At the present time, I have a 500 GB HARD drive installed. As soon as I got it, I did a recovery on 3 DVD media.

    I just tried to replace the HARD drive with a 1 to one. All copied OK and after dvd 3 that I was told to release the dvd. I did this and the computer turns off. I turned it on and it started to (don't remember the exact words used) set the drivers.

    However I have now received the message that "Windows cannot complete installation" and telling me to reinstall. I did it, but after the steps above have repeated the same message appears.

    Pls help.

    I don't see why my computer should be limited to a 500 GB HARD drive.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The computer is NOT limited to 500 GB HARD drive
    You can use more big 500 GB hard drives. You have confirmed that the laptop supports 1 TB HARD drive and the system recognizes the 1 TB HARD drive.

    The problem could be the use of the recovery diskette. Why?
    Because the recovery disk creates the same partitions that were available on the 500 GB HARD drive. This could create problems of system due to the large size of HARD drive.

    Solutions?
    Well, I think that you could install the system by using the clean installation of Microsoft Windows disk.
    Missing other drivers or tools can be downloaded from Toshiba page.

  • where are my drivers? new installation on the new hard drive

    I have a dimension e510, I put in a new hard drive. I got the windows xp disk, I added when I bought the computer. In general, the hard drive is partitioned or something with the operating system on the hard disk of windows xp.

    In any case after I installed widows xp, everything works except that I have the yellow question mark by 'other devices', I noticed that when I tried this computer with my main computer of the network. All of the devices under the heading other have no driver video Ethernet, PCi, for example - video works as I have a video card.

    So I tried to install the drivers and windows is unable to find them. I still have the installation disc into the computer. Being one of the drivers for the Ethernet - i cannot access the internet to get drivers. Help

    OK, I found the drivers on the dell site. I was able to install or update several drivers that I didn't need. the pilot opne I need comes in a cab file inpenuxp.cab.  Where do I put this? I've tried several things that work. When I low laoded the other driver of dell updtates, they all seemed different and they are all installed without problem

    Hello

    You will need to download "Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection " of Dell on a USB key and install the driver for your Netbook have access to the internet.

    A CAB file is a ZIP , CAB file is just the Microsoft format for a compressed folder save bandwidth on their server they save as aCAB , you can open and then select all and extract here where the files need. For the most part, these files will file dell cascading, images and Html pages.
