Hi all

Thank you very much?

Yes but only in storage. Add the old drive with the newmodeus.com cable and caddy in the second hard drive Bay. Connect the cable. The old drive should appear in Windows Explorer with a drive letter if it is formatted and partitioned. If it is empty, it should be formatted and partitioned. If you need help with that, let us know. You just can't do a drive in the Bay of this second bootable.

    Nice day.

    Can I add additional hard disks SATA internal? Is the power supply sufficient to allow this? In addition, this will void the warranty?

    Thank you, Joe

    Hi, Joe:

    When I look at the upgrade and maintenance of your PC guide, I don't get a hard drive Bay.

    So, I would say that your PC is not configured to handle more than one hard drive.

  • Is it possible to install the second disk in Satellite A300-15 a PSAJ4E

    Hello!

    I just bought Satellite A300-15A (PSAJ4E).
    I read in some reviews that these models have an empty space for an additional HARD drive, but that some models do not have an additional connector for a second HDD.

    I wonder if it is possible to install the second HARD drive in my A300-15 has.

    Thank you!

    Hello Ivo

    To be clear: A300 laptop come with a few different hardware configurations. Some of them with one and some of them with two hard drives. The plastic case is the same for all models of laptops and you can find room for the second HARD drive, but the motherboard is not the same and not stretch with the second HARD drive.

    Remove the cover from the HARD drive to the second HARD drive and let us know if the HARD drive connector is available.
    I'm sure that there is no connector.

  • Is it Possible to share a HARD disk drive (with a KNOWN password) protected between ThinkPads?

    Greetings,

    I spilled a drink sweet in my X 200, fence it beyond all repair.  The X 200 hard drive has ONLY one disk HARD password bios I created and you know.  To try to recover my files from hard drive of the X 200, I removed the disk and inserted into my T60.  When I turned on the T60, I got the usual HARD disk password prompt.  However, when I entered the password (all tiny, no special characters or non-English speaking, and which I know is quite OK), I had the symbol of the incorrect password.  I turned off the machine and repeat this process.  After the second attempt, I saw the password prompt with a closed hand.

    Later, I followed a procedure recommended by Lenovo to clear the password (do not think that I am allowed to post a link): enter the password followed by a space.  That did not work.

    I wonder if HARD drive pasword protected drive of the X 200 is somehow related to this particular machine and can not, as I had always supposed, be exchanged in another machine and accessible by entering the correct password.

    I also wonder if I can have permanantly me locked out the reader by making too many attempts "invalid."

    (Edited to add additional information and to make the more descriptive subject that it was originally).

    LongtimeTPOwner, welcome to the forum,

    Sorry to hear about your situation remove the password must be possible in another X 200 or even another ThinkPad at the same time system for example, T400, T500,... etc.

    A consideration that you would like to take a look is the password parameter in the menu BIOS password; If it is set differently on the T60 of how this has been put on the X 200 it could present problems according to the password used, especially if it's "special characters".

    Edit; typo

  • Satellite A200-1GH, remove the additional HARD disk cover

    Hello

    I bought a new HARD drive and I want to put it in place of additional hard drive, but I can't remove the cover... :-(... I was remove two screws and nothing...
    Can you help me please?

    Respect...

    Stand by. If I understand you right, you want to add the second HARD drive. Am I right about that?
    At first, I must say that this is not possible due to lack of connectors. In any case you can check only. Remove the two screws and remove the cover plastic. I know, it cannot be removed easily. Remove it in the middle and remove the side.

  • OS x 10.8 guest - do not install additional hard drives at startup

    Hello

    I am running OSX ML 10.8.3 and Fusion 5.0.3 and whirl ML 10.8.3 and.app as a guest for Netboot and DeployStudio.

    I added additional virtual hard disks for this virtual machine for the storage of the image. They are IDE, drives hard line - standard stuff. Several times when I start the guest additional drives do not mount. In disk utility I see them but can mount them, and if I do a repair disk it just runs forever, does nothing I think. If I restart the guest they sometimes mount and are fine, no damage. Other times I have to restart several times to get them.

    Has anyone else seen elsewhere?

    Thank you

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Is there a reason you chose IDE instead of SCSI?

    Recent versions of Mac OS doesn't get along well with the virtual hard drives on our emulated PIIX4 IDE controller, which is why we default to SCSI drives creating Mac OS VMs and the addition of hard drives for them.  I strongly recommend that stick you with a SCSI virtual hard drives for Mac OS clients.

    See you soon,.

  • Add additional hard disk to ESX4.1

    Hello

    I have a box of esx with 500 GB hard drive, I use this to objective test and have 5-6 vm on local storage. Now, I would like a few more storage and plans to add another hard drive to ESX box for making fewer virtual machines. I've not done this before so would like to know if I add an additional hard drive, I'll be able to create another customer vspehere data store? If this is not the case, how can I use the extra space on it?

    Thank you...

    Yes, if the drive is connected to a supported disk controller, t appear in the vSphere Client. What does the Wizard "add storage", it creates a new partition on the drive and it is shaped with the VMFS file system.

  • Install additional hard drive on HP Pav p6202f

    I have maxed out my 'C' drive (& my "Factory" is now in the Red) and want to add a disk hard extra 2 t.  I have no problem to enter the Pavilion or the withdrawal of the HDD cage that contains now the C"" drive.  My question is this:

    1) there are 2 options available on cable (P3 & P5) beam - which should I use?

    2) there are 2 options available on the motherboard power source (SATA # & SATA4) which should I use?

    (3) once it is plugged in, can I just move all the 'C' existing to the new disk, shut down the computer, make the wiring harnesses and use the 2 new t as my 'C' drive and clean the old 'C' drive and use it as extra memory?

    (4) will automatically be windows 7 rechognize the new drive and format? or is there a procedure I need to follow?

    (5) I'm going to be VERY optimistic and say when it's over, what else can I add or change my computer to improve its performance?

    Thank you!!!

    Your making a hypothesis that is not valid. So let's restart your process.

    The link to the wizard disk Seagate (the downloadable program) was valid, but I'll him direct more the manual.

    Unplug the power cord. Place the unit on its side, open side panel. Disconnect your DVD data and power cables.  (temporarily the measure). Connect the new drive with these cables. You can ask/prop the new drive on a piece of cardboard. Reconnect the power cord and computer to boot.  The next is to know how to prepare the new hard drive, then READ very carefully TWICE before taking any action.

    Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, then:

    Lets check in disk management. Your startup disk will appear a Disk0. Stay away that.

    The added disk should appear as Disk1. It's the "new" command

    • Click on a region not allocated on your "new" hard disk1 and then click New Simple Volume.
    • In the new Volume Simple Wizard, click Next.
    • Type the size of the volume you want to create in megabytes (MB) or accept the maximum size by default, and then click Next.
    • Accept the default drive letter or choose a different drive letter to identify the partition, and then click Next.
    • In the Formater Partition dialog box, do one of the following:
      • If you don't want to format the volume right now, click on do not format this volume and then click Next.
      • To format the volume with the default settings, click Next.

    Review your choices and then click Finish.

    The formatting process can take more than an hour. To relax. Do not leave the screen. Do not charge anything. After that it ends...

    Read the instructions of the wizard disk. He explains how to clone the old drive. When the cloning program is complete, it will reboot. After that, pop a message, something like 'Diskwizard Complete. "  Turning off power then swap out hard disks physically and re - connect the DVD player.  The old drive is now disconnected. Restart the system. If everything is correct, power down, then replace side panel. Enjoy.

  • Satellite Pro P300-1F1 - mounting additional HARD disk

    Hello

    I'm hoping to add an extra hard drive to my satellite pro p300-1f1 laptop. I know that he has an extra compartment and it has a sata connector, so I know it's possible. But I need a support or mount or a caddy/adapter to the hard drive in place of the crew. When I contacted the Dutch Office of toshiba, they said that they did not support it and do not have this part. And the manual of the user on the site Web there says nothing about this compartment.

    I hope that one of you may know part whitch I need (the second compartment of the hard drive need to another mount/support/caddy/adapter then the hard drive that is already installed.

    I live in Holland, so no response with the Dutch dealers or websites would be great but uk / us is also appreciated.

    Update: here are some photos I did inside the compartment. Maby he helps :) ([Fig 1 | http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8240/dsc01104h.jpg]) ([photo 2 | http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/585/dsc01102s.jpg]) ([photo 3 | http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/2536/dsc01101l.jpg])

    Hi Thijsm,

    If you have a second HARD drive connector, you can add a second HDD. But as you wrote, you need a shopping cart to install it.

    I put t know you contacted exactly, but on the Toshiba site, you will find a list of all ASP s:

  • Additional HARD disk, PC does not start.

    I'm under a Dimension 9200 on Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.

    I just bought a 1 TB Western Digital Caviar Green Power drive.  I plugged on one of the locations additional sata on the motherboard and pc market.  I have an IDE installed RAID card normally shows directly after the dell logo, and detects my old three disks IDE and their config raid which is fine.

    Reference Dell also provided me with two drives of 320 GB in a raid configuration, using my C drive, which he would then normally detect.  However, when the new drive is connected it just displays an error message, something can not find bios.  I have not disconnected or changed their cables somehow.

    When I disconnect the new drive again, the pc boots fine.

    I tried to enter in the configuration with the drive connected to change the boot sequence, but it won't let me enter the configuration.  I can enter the installer without a connection, and I assured my normal C drive is the first boot drive, but it still does not work.

    I'm not trying to add it to one of the raid configs current sport im, I want just that he's a player, I thought that it would be virtually plug-in, turn on, format and leave, but no luck!

    Someone made me what I am doing wrong?

  • Additional HARD disk adds HP ENVY 6-1120sq

    I just bought a HP ENVY 6-1120sq which has a SSD 128 GB on it. Is it possible to add an additional normal HARD drive?

    Really, they don't want messing you here... envy 6 Ultra is a closed system. However, it is configured to use a 2.5 inches wide but thin 7 mm 'standard' hard drive and has a slot for a smaller WSSD (physical size), which is what you have. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    7 mm 500 gig hard drive

    Get the MSSD and a normal hard drive to play nice together cannot be too easy. In many systems, the WSSD is used as a 'cache' drive to speed up the main drive. In yours, it is used as main storage.

  • Satellite M30: Replace DVD with additional HARD disk?

    Hello!

    As my Satellite M30-642 does not offer a modular Bay for the installed switches and I have a DVD burner for USB that I can use I think try an experiment: withdrawal of the DVD drive and replace it with an extra HDD/SSD.

    As SSDS are very light, have no moving parts and does not necessarily need screws to be installed and the slot DVD brings the IDE and this could work to power connector. The DSS must be placed inside an old and updated the slimline cd-rom so that the change is not visible and the laptop is safe from dust etc.

    Has anyone tried something like this before? Are there solutions to buy for Sat M30 (2004 vintage)?

    Cheers, obreitfelder

    Hello

    As far as I know the Sat M30 doesn t support the slim select Bay and, therefore you cannot use this adapter instead of the CD/DVD drive.

    Sorry, it is not possible

    Good bye
