keep the second hard drive as duplicate in case of failure of the first disc

I installed the second hard drive of the same size mfg and would not lead copy. Now I want to keep up-to-date with the first hard drive so that if the first drive fails, can I use the second drive until I get replacement for the failed drive. Never forget backups all have problems when you need them.

You can not do it legally.

Vista installation rules:

A single license is a single Installation.

This applies even on the same computer.

See you soon.

  • How to set up the second hard drive

    My Mac Pro has two, the hard drives of 1 TB.  I had originally planned on the use of the second hard drive for Time Machine.  However, instead of using Time Machine, I now save by cloning my first hard drive to an external hard drive using Carbon Copy Cloner.  I did not use Time Machine in a year and do not expect that I have to use more.

    My first hard drive fills up-I have about 150 GB unused on it, and with video editing I'm is squeezed.  What is the best way to configure my system so that I can use my second, now sleeping, hard drive? Is it possible of them gang up together so that my system will behave as if there is a 2 TB HDD?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes. It is called RAID.

  • 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

  • Tecra M10 - 17U use second HARD drive in the Bay of ODD

    Hello

    I try one of this popular box that allows me to put a second hard drive in the Bay optical slot, I use a Sata to Sata adapter, so there is not really an adapter and more properly connect:

    [http://www.akasa.co.uk/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&no=181&type=Enclosures&type_sub = 2.5%20Enclosure&model=AK-OA2SSA-BK]

    My problem is with the BIOS Toshiba waiting for a STRANGE device in this Sata port and cams out with a "CD" error, disable the Sata port.

    I have a workaround, if I start the PC, BIOS after with what this either in the Bay of the STRANGE, after Windows starts, I have insert the second HARD drive in the Bay of ODD, go to "Windows Device Manager" a 'check for changes on the hardware"and voila, the second HDD works fine , for me, it shows a limitation in the BIOS.

    Y at - it assistance, a Beta BIOS or something else, I have the latest BIOS 3.00 for this machine installed.

    Please check this thread:

    It seems that Tecra M10 does not support a select bay that would allow you to use a 2nd HDD rather than the ODD.
    As far as I know select bay is compatible with the Tecra M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, S1, S2

  • Satellite P70 - how to use the second HARD drive?

    I have recently bought a satellite P70 - A - 10 d.

    I see that there is no second location on hard disk, so I can install a second disk.

    But I can't understand how screed the disc.
    Do I need additional items for it or he'll be safe just plug the drive and leave it without screws?

  • HP compaq 8200 elite sff: Add the second hard drive to 8200 elite sff

    I installed a second hard drive, but the system does not reqagnize it.  I connected the blue sata port.  Any help?

    Well shit, now I have to retype my response... I typed in Notepad, but it seems that I can't copy and paste into this box.

    I agree with DFBonnett, the second disc will only work on the BLACK, not BLUE light connector.

    The way I Win-10 to see the second drive was to go to the management of the computer, and then under storage, click Disk Management: the drive is presented as a disc 1 but not show the program explores until I received a letter from the disk drive... MAGIC, the player will now display as the letter assigned to the I gave him 'E' with a backup label.

    I tried what erico posted but has not worked, but I thank all of you who have tried to help.

    I give credit to Umbutu, he saw the drive without having to do anything myself.

    Hey Microsoft, look at what Linux can do... lol

  • Re: Satellite X 200 - connector to the second HARD drive

    Hello...
    I bought Toshiba X 200 last year.

    My problem is not all connectors in my second hard drive location. like this http://img257.imageshack.us/my.php?image=10112007572fh4.jpg
    But some models are fitted with a connector. http://img256.imageshack.us/my.php?image=21269219uk7.jpg

    I guess I need something like this. http://img212.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hpcaddydv9000connectorakg0.jpg

    I find and it is working well?
    Thank you.

    Boyfriend sorry but I think that if you don t have a second HARD drive connector you can t use a second HDD.
    In addition it of not possible to add a such HARD drive connector.

    If you need more disk space, you must exchange the first HARD drive or you use an external HARD drive to save your files on it.

  • Equium A200-1AC - cannot remove the second HARD drive cover

    I have an Equium A200-1AC, there is also a second HARD-drive Bay, but I can't get the cover off the coast, can anyone help?

    Hello

    As far as I know, this HARD drive cover is only guaranteed with a screw and after the withdrawal of these screws, you should be able to remove the plastic cover.
    Maybe it's sticks somewhere, you can use a thin object and could leverage with caution
    But don t do something with force!

  • Second Hard Drive not recognized / climb (but it IS listed in the Device Manager)

    I have a HP Compaq DC7800 convertible mini tower running than Win 7 Pro 64-bit

    I installed a second hard drive, and while I can see listed in the Device Manager, it is not mounted.

    That is to say, it is not in the computer > field at all.

    The second hard drive is a Hitachi HDT721032SLA360 ATA Device

    Under the hardware ID, it is said: IDE\DiskHitachi_HDT721032SLA360___ST2OA38E

    I thought it was a driver problem. Device Manager indicates that it uses the Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385 driver.

    I can't find a Hitachi driver for this player. My understanding was that this drive would NOT need drivers.

    I have it in the plug of P5 (I think it is P5, it's at the end of the cable with the primary hard drive) and I have a data cable sata from the sata port on the rear of the disc in the slot sata on the motherboard next to the slot in the place where the main in drive is plugged.

    The only sites that list the drivers for this drive are all spam (thanks, google) sites.

    What I have to change something in my Bios?

    Thanks in advance.

    If the drive is listed in the device but not 'computer' Manager, it must be mounted or a new volume must be created. Please see HP - partitioning and names of hard drives (Windows 7) for more information on using the Windows Disk Management Console.

  • Satellite A350-122 - how to install the second HARD drive?

    Hello

    I'm a french owner of an A350-122 (serial no: 39169719K)

    In the french of the manual user, page 1-5, it is written that it is possible to insert another disc hard, and on page 2-6, the rear of the A350-122 view shows a second branch on the left for a second hard drive.

    So, I bought an SSD Intel X 25-M to put in the second location. I opened the second location and there is nothing: no sata, no power connector connector, only a location empty.

    So, what's the problem with this Satellite A350-122?

    Thank you for your response.

    Hey Buddy,

    I agree with the user above. Not all Satellite A350 models support a second HDD. The point is that laptops are country specific products and this feature is not available everywhere. In addition, all models A350 by using the same notebook case in order to have a crack but no connector.

    In any case, you can use t a second HDD. :(

  • Second HARD drive is possible on the Satellite A200-1iW?

    possible second hard drive on the Satellite A200 1iW?

    Hello

    Not all models of laptops A200 supports the second HDD.
    If you want you can find very easily if your laptop supports this second HDD.

    At the bottom of the device, you can find the second HARD drive Bay. Remove the cover that protects the Bay and check if there is some HARD drive connectors.

    If not, then the second HDD is not possible

  • Can I add a second hard drive on the Qosmio X 500-12 q?

    Hello
    I would like to know if its possible to add a second hard drive to the X 500-12 q?
    I suppose that space is available, but I would like to know whether the connector is here & all
    I could just open the case and plug it in.

    Thank you

    In the document s user manuals I have not found something on HD upgrade so I m really don't know if this will be possible.
    Anyway, as Jeka wrote, remove the HARD drive cover and check if there is place for second HARD drive and also necessary SATA connector.

    I have older 300 x and there is room for two drives.

  • How to use the second HARD drive of Satellite A210 - BP1 for mirroring

    Satellite A210-BP1 came with 2 HDD (160 GB).
    Now, I want to use the second hard drive mirrored the first, one that has Vista installed.
    This should be done without supervision and in real time - as a RAID 1.

    How can I do this?
    I also have Vista professional available and I would be willing to use 3rd party software as well.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Hi Jan

    I doubt that this is possible
    Why? The point is that you need to use two hard drives in mirroring, RAID striping, mode etc technology
    Satellite A210 can't RAID. It s only a SATA controller without RAID capacity!

    Therefore, the final answer is; NO, it is not possible to use mirroring
