• Lost one of the two hard disks? Help!

  So I'll preface this by saying clearly, I'm a noob.

  I received a HP 9730nr laptop and reinstalled Windows Vista from the recovery disks that I had burned.

  The system came with 320 GB of hard drive space. 160 x 2. Well now my system seems to only recognize one of these drives. Once the adjustment I now see under computer: OS (C :) 136GB and HP_Recovery (d) 12 GB.

  Can someone help me try to find how to set my computer to recognize the other hard drive? Since it clearly has not just pull out the laptop and fly away, I really see how I can get it back.

  Thank you!

  Ah ok! Right-click on "Unallocated space" and click on create the partition.

• Satellite A300 - how to use two hard disks?

  My Satellite A300 came with two 200 GB hard drives (drives C and D). What is the best way to use the D drive? Now I have nothing about it. If drive C fills the computer automatically switches the D drive?

  A basic question, I know, but the manual provides no information on this subject.

  Hey Dearborn,

  > If drive C fills the computer automatically switches the D drive?
  No, D: drive will not be filled automatically.
  When installing the program, you will be asked which drive they will be installed. So you can choose between C: and D: drive.

  In general there are no rules the use of two hard disks. You can do what you want.
  In my opinion the best is if you install all the programs on C: drive (first HARD drive) and save your private files such as photos, videos, documents, etc. on drive D: (second HARD drive). Its advantage is that if you need to reinstall Windows at all times, these files on the second HARD drive will not be deleted. ;)

  What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

  RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
  Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
  no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
  companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
  because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
  more seamlessly.

  Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
  what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
  original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
  your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
  attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
  also have a solid plan of external backup in place.

• Images of a unique catalogue on two hard disks can be consolidated for a non-destructivly drive?

  My catalogue contains images of two different hard disks. One, my main drive and the other a small external. I want to draw all the files from the outside for the larger hard drive WITHOUT deleting them from the outside. I think that it's impossible to all the research I've done. I can easily move the files moving files in Lightroom, but this removes the files from the original disc. I can't import the files because they are already in the catalog. I can use Explorer to copy the files, but when I do this Lightroom ignoring double because he already knows about the image and where it was originally and still is. This is true even when the external is disconnected.

  One idea is to create a new catalog and import all of the photos in the new catalogue. If I do this will I lose any changes that I made in the original catalogue. And I can import the files from the primary drive without in fact to pass the actual raw data that is just say this new catalogue hey these pictures are already in this folder go to find them and then import the files from the outside, by physically copying in the dialog box import to lightroom from outside the main disk. This translates into a large photo file on the main drive with all the pictures imported and named the same way taken by date without destroying the files on the outside.

  Cleaning of the mistakes of the past is always much more complicated that take those time and not make them in the first place, but I have not lived my life that way. Thanks for any help.

  Best for the community,

  I want to draw all the files from the outside for the larger hard drive WITHOUT deleting them from the outside. I think that it's impossible to all the research I've done.

  Not true, it is possible.

  In your operating system, you COPY the files (and not MOVE) bigger hard disk, then point Lightroom to the new location of the pictures on the larger hard drive using these instructions (scroll down to the section called "Update folder location")

• Can Qosmio G50 - 11R - I use two hard disks?

  On the Qosmio G50 - 11R

  Anyone know if it is possible to install two hard drives in this laptop?

  As far as I know, you can only use one HARD disk in the Qosimo G50 - 11R.

  But you can check this, if you remove the second HARD drive cover (it's the only screw) and there may be a second HARD drive connector or not, so I think.

• The recovery disk reformatted TWO hard disks on Satellite P200?

  Hello

  My Satellite P200 has two hard drives.
  When I use the recovery disc, it reformatted both drives or only one where Vista will be? I chose the first option, by the way.
  Thank you, in advance, for your help.

  If you choose the first option in recovery then it reformatted only the first HARD drive and it will consider the other HDD as additional storage space, as if it were a memory stick. When you get to the point of recover where you choose the operating system to install, it takes an option for settings or Expert mode. In one of them, I think that you can configure recovery and set up partitions.

  If you want the operating system must be installed on both drives HARD, which is a bit useless, you have to remove one then do the reocvery on the other and then replace the retrieved by another and then to perform the recovery on that one. The only thing that I think this will mess up to comes from the computer won't know what MBR (Master Boot Record) to load, but if this isn't a problem then you can do what I just mentioned.

  I hope this helps.

• Can I install win 7 pro on two hard disks on the same computer, to be a recovery in case of virus problems.

  I have an older hard drive and a new on my computer, I installed windows over before hard disk, I bought another hd.

  I would like to install the os on the new hd as well as the old hd, in the case of a failure of the system, is it possible?

  You can't, it would be considered separate licenses and cause problems of product activation.

  What you need to do, is keep Windows 7 installed on a single disc and create a backup of your system on an external hard drive to backup:

• How to rename the external HARD disk in window 8?

  I have a Seagate Backup more Portable disk (500 GB) and WD Element (1 to). I use Window 8.

  When I Plug one of them, their original name had auto-changed by the computer. For example, auto-changed the name of the element Local disk (H) and Seagate to Local disk (G). I tried to rename the two hard drives, but it does not work. But the two hard drives were working properly (I can open it and uploaded files). I even tried to use disk management to rename the HARD drive, but it will not change in the computer.

  Not only that, when my friend she plug Pendrive or plugging me in my usb connection Smartphone . Both got the names of auto-changed also. For example, when I connected my Vivo X 5 in computing, it usually appeared Vivo (I) and the Sd Card (F). Then some time later, it auto-changed on the removable disk (I) drive removable (F). Regarding my from a friend, after she plug his USB drive in my computer, its name from Pendrive changed disk removable (J). When she plug his USB stick into his computer, she could not rename its USB key at all.

• Impossible to 'System' to defrag Portion of the hard disk on Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8 Pro dvt7-3000

  I have a laptop HP Pavilion dvt7-3000 CTO that has a single disk drive hard 500 GB.  The operating system has been improved in Windows7 Pro (64-bit) to Windows 8 Pro (64-bit), but the problem occurs in both operating systems.  When conducting the defragmentation of the different hard disks (C:\ D:\, HP tools and system), the percent of the "System" drive which is fragmented never changes, while the % fragmented adequately for other readers going to 0%.  Over time, the system part of the hard disk rose to 27% fragmented.  How to defragment this drive?

  Hello

  The system partition contains the boot files and recovery for Windows 7 environment and should not be défragmentée.  It will always appear to be fragmented and it is quite normal - force this partition defragment would almost certainly avoid the Windows startup.  In addition, the fragmentation in this small partition has absolutely no effect on performance.

  For much the same reasons, the recovery partitions or HP_TOOLS must be défragmentées.

  Kind regards
