• Can I install second HARD drive in the Satellite A200-AH7

  I wonder if I can install the second hard drive in my laptop and if I can do this what equipment should I.

  Laptop computer has two covers of hard disk and manual is not clear on this subject.
  He said: some models.

  Thanks for the info

  You can't find the answer very easily.

  Remove the second HDD Bay cover and check if there are a few HARD drive connectors/pins.

  If Yes, then you could install a second HDD.
  If not, you can not use second HARD drive.

  Good bye

• Envy 17-J111tx: second hard drive for the Envy 17

  I really want to add another SSD or HARD disk. My question is what size should I buy and it would be compatible with SATA 2 or 3? I will void the warranty of my mobile during installation it?

  Hello

  Through 2, 24, 41-43 page in this manual:
  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04091762.PDF

  You can put 3 SATA, they are backward compatible with SATA 2 HARD drive also

  Size: 7mm or 9. 5 mm compatible

  You must purchase additional hard drive support (number of HP 720237-001) to second hard drive.

  Replacement procedures are included in the manual. It is relatively easy to install. It will void the warranty if something goes wrong due to replacement by you. Contact HP service center for help.

• Satellite P300D install second hard drive location

  I own a P300D, it has 1 location where sits the preinstalled hard drive and an another just like it the other side. but the plastic cover of the second slot has a bunch of plastic columns that block the slot if the plastic cover is used to close the slot.

  How we're supposed to fit a second hdd in there?
  Am I expected to by an another plastic cover?

  where can I get the metal frame to keep the hard drive correctly?
  The exact product names would be nice :)

  Thank you!

  Hello

  First of all, not all Satellite P300 models can be upgraded with a second HDD.
  Even if the second HARD drive Bay is available, you will not be able to insert a second HDD if the HDD connectors are missing.

  To verify if the connectors are available for this

• Install a second hard drive on HP ENVY 15

  I just bought a HP ENVY 15 t-j100. I chose to have an SSD instead of the 1 TB drive. I was told that the original drive may be installed as a secondary but stupidly decided not to. Believe it or not, I have been concerned about the extra weight! Hey, I had just lost a Viao Z550, he weighed 3.2 kilograms, and which included an optical drive! I had never actually seen a HP Envy, ordered him to go just overseas on specifications. Now that I have it I see that worry about the extra weight of the disc looks like to worry about the extra weight of a GPS unit in a Chevy Suburban. The power of one brick weighs about as much as the Z550!

  So now I would like to add a secondary drive. I came across a tutorial to do this in an Envy 17, 15 would be substantially the same? Thanks for any clarification.

  The problem isn't with the hardware... mSSDs are very fast and reliable. The problem is the design. The slit of the WSSD is supposed to be and is designed to be used only for a hard drive cache acceleration... usually 24 or 32 GB. It allows an SSD speed to exploit the performance of the regular main HDD. It is close to rocket science. It is technically possible to circumvent the way HP has implemented with limits in the BIOS and other, but it is not really designed for this niche of the WSSD, which will be used to hold only a disk to be used as a regular mounted volume storage or the main size boot drive. Once again, possible, but he has a degree in computer engineering to accomplish.

• HP Envy 17 K2Z68AV: Adding a second hard drive for HP Envy 17 K2000 Series notebook PC

  So, I have been looking around for more information on adding a second HDD/SDD in my model of laptop computer on the web, but can't find anything on my specific model. Many places say K-series laptops have only one hard drive Bay, and that you use a hard drive caddy optical Bay. Moreover, I found videos of very similar models being dismantled, which seem to have only room for 1 hard drive. However, I was told to support twitter HP want all 17 have 2 hard drive slots. Can I get a confirmation, just to be sure?

  Hey @MrMdr,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!
  
  I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your Notebook HP ENVY - 17 t - k200 CTO, model #K2Z68AV and concerns with the second span. Looking to 256 GB SATA m2 (MLC) that could be used for storage only. It is a hard drive, but it fits differently than the main hard drive. Hereis a link to your manual page 2 which shows the specifications.

  It shows you how to install this on page 68 of the manual.

  Please let me know how it goes.

• Add second HARD drive to HP ENVY 17-j171sa Leap Motion TS SE Notebook PC

  Hello

  Recently upgraded to SSD as HDD1 in my notebook using cable sheet etc. of 'newmodeUS '.

  All the stable and works well, so I installed a second HDD (which I know works well) but the laptop does not see.

  I even installed the drive HARD original as HDD2 but same problem

  I cannot find any relevant info on diagnosing this problem, but I was wondering if this model (jump movement) may have a second internal HDD

  I don't see anything in the BIOS on this topic

  A point to note is that I had to remove a plate of maetal that was installed in the drive Bay HDD2 - possible is not designed to accept?

  Thank you

  Following my last, next time I checked the disk Dirves in Device Manager, there was my Toshiba 1 TB as well as the SSD.

  Quick format in humans of disc and it is in place and works very well!

  Not too sure what happened here, I left the disks with the cables 'Swapped' in place and just to prove that everything is OK I swapped the cables back again an everything is OK (the original cable is now in HDD1 port with the SSD and the NewmodeUS cable is HDD2 port with the other disk from Toshiba.

  So now I can use my 1 TB of extra storage as well as storage faster SSD - Hallelujah!

  I also always the player original HGST I cloned the SSD at and could use again if the SSD fails or corrupt.

  Thanks to all who have helped me on this one

• Second hard drive for the Envy 17-1181nr Options

  Hello

  I have an Envy 17-1181NR. I just replaced the hard drive yesterday, that the original 750 GB disc had errors. I put a 1 TB drive to replace the original, and everything works fine.

  That said, I would like to put an SSD in the 2nd to speed things up. What are my options on GB for disc 2. Can I use this disc 2 as my first (with the OS on it)?

  And other issues, I'm not asking?

  Thank you!

  You can use SSD as boot disk make sure just the OS partition is smaller than the ssd.

• Moving pictures & catalog newly installed second hard drive

  Hello!

  I just checked file John (http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos_1) on moving files. My friend, a non-technical guy right, had a second drive installed on his computer. So far there has been a single physical disk with logical drives C: and D:. All of his pictures are sitting on the D: drive and there is nothing else on this drive.

  I am sustains it remotely in Vancouver, British Colombia, Austria (with logmein.com).

  The new drive, 500 GB, is formatted and the installation chap he gave her the letter j:

  My questions:

  (1) I change the drive letter to say X:, change the letter of the new drive and then create a disc copy of X: to D: will this work?

  (2) have the my friend to do a normal backup on his external USB drive and then do a restore with 'Restore to the location of the original file' to the new drive J: and it now uses the J: drive. Check the preferences are set correctly.

  (3) just move with the Organizer all the files to the new drive J:, leaving the catalog on the D: drive.

  (4) other good ideas? My friend has about 9 000 images on file, probably quite a few disconnected ones.

  Thank you and have a nice day!

  (Waiting for October 9 and PSE 8 as advertised on Amazon. John you soon will certainly be another long list of items to add to your index! GIROU!)

  Alexander,

  Using view > display folder location to move the photo folders is the easiest way to move photos to a new disk, as described in the FAQ you referenced:

  http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-FAQ.htm#_Move_your_photos

  The question remains what to do with the catalog file:

  1 - is on the C drive (where he usually resides) or D drive?

  2 if it is on the C drive, there is no harm to leave it there - it uses relatively little space.

  3. If it is on the D drive, and that your friend is not afraid to leave it there, then leave it there.

  4. If your friend really wants to move the disk D (if it can release this drive and use a tool for partitioning to merge back in C D), so he will need to move the catalog folder:

  a. If it's on the PSE 7, it can pass safely the catalog file by using the file > catalog > move.

  (b) if he is on PSE 6, and there not all projects (e.g., slide shows) or files on DVD/CD, it can pass safely the catalog file by using the file > catalog > move.

  c. otherwise, we need to use the backup/restore method (rather than the display > display folder location) for the catalog folder installs as well as photos on J drive.

• Tecra W50 - cannot start when installing the second hard drive (caddy).

  Hi all
  I have a Tecra W50 PT640A 04103NN1.
  When a second hard drive is installed in the Bay of DVD player cell phone will try to boot from the drive bay, not the internal drive
  This second drive has no operating system installed and so the fails to start.

  If I hit F12 at startup and select HARD drive, while the machine starts correctly. That is starts on the main hard drive.
  Change the order of boot in the BIOS makes all the difference; He will always try to boot from the second drive bay drive first.

  All known A it works correctly?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Doppelfrog,
  I had the same problem with my W50, got my HDD caddy a few days ago.
  You have a bit of luck to fix this problem?
  I believe that the Bios for this laptop is not developed to serve both drives (like the computer I had that one drive Bay) and it is not possible to prioritize the witch THAT HDD should start first...

  Kind regards

• Install a second hard drive in a G10-133

  Two questions for you...

  I would like to install a second hard drive in my G10-133. Specifically, I'm looking for a second disc 80gig (MK8026GAX). Does anyone have experience of installing a second drive like that?

  Secondly, I know where to buy the disc. But, someone has any advice on the carriage-drive itself (ie. the piece of kit that holds the drive in place in the Bay)? Specifically, where can I get one?

  Everyone applauded.

  Hello Andrew

  In my opinion, you can build a second HDD, but the two HARD drives must have the same size.
  As far as I know the 80 GB HARD drive is compatible with your device.
  In addition the second HDD must be set as a slave HARD drive. You can set the jumper in the correct position.

  Best regards
