• Windows 7 does not see added internal hard drive

  I installed an internal hard drive 1 TB on a Windows 7 using SATA system.  Device Manager sees the drive, but Windows does not.  So I can't access the drive. How can I get Windows to use this hard disk (disk 1) to be the image of the disk system 0?

  Thank you

  Probably should have Setup no matter what RAID before installation.  Thinking that can be a destructive thing.  Not that I'm a great believer in RAID1 arrays (mirror) - I'm not.  I'd rather have real backups - external backups.

  Usually a RAID1 will help only if the first hard drive die an immediate death.  None of the defective areas, no viruses, no random deletion of files.  Why?  Because a HARDWARE RAID1 is an instant copy of everything that happens on the first hard drive.  If you clear hundreds of files - they are on both.  A virus corrupts the things - the other disc is in place.  Form data and scramble of bad sectors - well, look!

  I have a storage attached network device I backup on an eSATA hanging from it it stores up to another network and storage I do more selective backups to as a backup for my saved backups.  Internal - nothing.  Well, I guess that the restoration of the system and version control integrated with Windows 7...

• How the value catalog new internal hard drive more and then delete the files from the smallest

  I just got a new 1 TB internal on cloned hard drive 500 GB internal hard drive installed on my PC, then the smaller original. The new 1 TB is now Local Dick C and the smallest 500 GB by C has been changed and is now Local Disk F. PSE11 runs from the new C and all my photos are on C and F, but the catalog showed up at F. I want to delete all the old files on F for free space because they are all cloned to the new 1 TB C, so I want to catalog PSE11 only point to the pictures on C I tried to create a new catalog and import my pictures from C. The images arrive and look tuned to C but when I close PSE11 and then reopen this new catalogue, the path of the image shows F, as does the original catalogue. So, now, I have two catalogs seem to point to F but I want: 1) have a single catalog pointing to C; (2) deleting catalogs pointing to F; (3) then reformat f: so I have a 500 GB clean old hard drive for future expansion. Peuvent some please help?

  The problem is related to the cloning process.

  As stated in the first post of Neale, the Organizer acknowledges readers by their letter AND their serial number. In these situations, both drives have the same serial number and the Organizer cannot tell who is who...

  More information in the help file on John R Ellis from his psedbtool:

  http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/#_Writing_File_Metadata

  Scroll down to: "change the serial number of the drive, a Volume."

  Check first with the DOS command 'Flight' that both disks have the same volume id, and then try to change one of the drives serial.

• Desktop P7-1039: can I add an extra internal hard drive?

  I would like to install an extra internal hard drive on my desktop HP-P7-1039. I can't find anywhere in the literature if there is an available for an extra drive Bay. If it is available, can this disc type and size I install?

  Thank you

  CErepair guide, it seems that there is place in the hard drive to another hard drive cage.  The existing hard drive is 1.5 to, but a slow hard disk standards.  Not to exceed 2 TB Windows has problems with the disks.  So look for a disk 3,5 '' SATA, 2 TB or less from a manufacturer of your taste.

• HP dv6 envy: want to know on the best internal hard drive to replace it with

  Hi friends... I return my hp dv6 want 3 years and it has worked well for me so far, but since last month, everytime I turn on my laptop, a message is popping indicating that YOUR HARD DISK has FOUND YEAR IMMINENT FAILURE AND there NEED TO BE REPLACED and I studied a lot of posts here regarding this problem and everyone was asked to replace it with a new one. I don't know what drive should I replace it with. Could someone please help me in this regard. I need the following details:

  1. where can I find new internal hard drive HP ENVY DV6 1 to buy?

  2. can we replace this hard drive with the hard drive to other companies? (such as seaggate)... If so, so, please let me know

  3. can I replace the hard drive with a hard drive of 1 to solid state?

  4. links to vendors who sell internal hard drive?

  Please help me friends...

  The answer is Yes in all areas. The laptop will accept any 2.5 inch wide disk SATA 9.5 or 7 mm thick and which includes mechanical hard drives and Solid State drives. Where are you located (one country)? Hard drives and SSDS for laptops are a part of the goods. You can pick them up at a Best Buy or Frys if you live where there are no Frys or you can use amazon.com or newegg.com or similar online service. The prices vary a lot, so it is useful to get a good deal. A 1 to SSD can run more than $300, you know. Need instructions for installing and/or migrating software? We are a bit like McDonalds here in the Forum... served billion regarding replace drive hard/updates to level. One of the specialties of the House, so to speak.

• How can I identify a defective internal hard drive to be replaced on a macpro in early 2009

  How can I identify a defective internal hard drive to be replaced on a macpro 2009 beginning el capitan running

  A good starting point is the Information System (Option while clicking the Menu Apple key). At the hardware level, click on Express SATA/SATA and look for the SMART State in the bottom right pane for each HD listed in the upper pane right. Unless the State is OK, looks like not verified. If the drive is totally dead, search for a missing list for a drive Bay, you know is filled.

• Buy the new internal hard drive

  I have HP Pavilion dv4-1242TX

  Recently, my original 320 GB (Western Digital Scorpio Blue - WD3200BPVT) internal hard drive crashed and become inadmissible.

  So now I want to buy a new 500 GB internal hard drive, but I'm confused if my laptop it will support or not.

  Internal hard drive WD Blue 500 GB laptop computer (WD5000BPVT / WD5000LPVX)

  MAIN FEATURES

  Other than the size, I see no difference between the two discs.  Just having the Recovery DVD set available and install the new drive, run the set of recovery and off you go.  If the old drive is toast, there's nothing else to do than to run the updates from Microsoft.

  Or install Windows 7, commercial version of your choice.

• has had to replace the internal hard drive! need help!

  Hi, laptop HP HDX - 1056CA

  My internal hard drive is totally dead after 2 years (warranty expired), and I had to replace it. I dropped in the new hard drive. But I don't know what are my next steps

  Do I really need to refer to the recovery discs - and they will work on a new hard drive? -I don't mind send away if that's what is needed, but I can't recover my old data, I hope that I can just download the drivers and leave with the machine... (also I go to work on Monday for 2 weeks at an oil rig, records will not be here in time and I won't be able to stay in touch with my friends and my family like the network is very limited as to what we can access if the computers in the Organization).

  can I use my desk top of the page to download and burn the recovery discs? can someone link me to the right place (HP HDX16 - 1056CA).

  My other question is that I have upgraded to windows 7 from Vista, when I ask to do recovery disks I have ask for the vista version and upgrade again (will be microsoft / the computer accepts the only time only upgrading key again?)  or should I go for the version of windows 7?  I need to re install the windows original vista and then switch again to win7, being that the computer has been configured for vista before the upgrade.

  Thank you very much for any help or insight people can give me! I really appreciate it!

  Hi all

  I had a BBQ and three guests oil and gas software and refused to feed them until thelaptop has been fixed.

  They threw the XP disc across the room and were able to start the player directly at the exit of the disk upgrade of windows 7 using the Custom Installation option.

  I'm afraid I can't give you more information, others that there is no need to first load the XP or the use of the USB box with the zip file in in order to recognize that the new installation drive.

  Thanks everyone for all the help offered here here.

• How can I add an extra internal hard drive to my dell dimension 8300

  I installed an extra internal hard drive to my dell dimension 8300. He only appears in "Device Manager" and shows to work but he does not appear in 'my computer' and has not assigned a drive letter. It's a western digital 1200js-22mhbo. My drive root 'C' is also a wd1200jd from western digital. Can someone tell me what I do to get it to show up with a drive letter, and I have to format it? Also, there is a way to format so I can install programs on it as my "C" drive or I just will be only able to use it as extra storage? Thanks a lot for your help!

• internal hard drives within the switching apparatus

  Switching of the internal hard drives in the machine. I have two internal hard drives, C and E of clarification and I replaced my C Seagate 360 with a TB Western Digital because of this hard disk failure false I bought, which I'm sure were a corporate scam to buy more stuff that is really unnecessary. My question is "how to pass these. My HP Pavilion Elite m9150f going in stupid mode on 3 to 5 times a year and I have to do a recovery and I found that doing the hard, it is happening in stupid mode in a very short time. I found is from the CD that it takes a little more, but the best way is to erase completely and reformat the hard drive and then do a clean install, so he prevents her from stupid mode for awhile, this one lasted 4 months but like you have probably understood it's time to do it again. However, as you know it takes 3 times as long to reformat TB as it does a 360 GB drive, so it's the root of my question. I have all my stuff on the E-Drive SG360 for backup, note here backup on this PC has never worked so I don't bother with the so-called machines back to top I just copy stuff I want to record on the E drive and make the ol' copy ' and paste to restore everything. Now because of the time it takes to reformat drive C TB I want to make the switch. Is it as simple as just their switching and pulling the PC with the recovery discs factory to perform RECOVERY and do my usual copy and paste of the Western Digital to now, E-Drive?

  Please someone with the know let me know

  Thank you very much, RickS

  Aparently, you can not RESPOND to your own message.

  No one answered so I went ahead and did it. Lost all learned but a lot on the partitioning of hard disks and all together, in addition to becoming the hard drive back to R & R until less than 6 minutes time to unplug the PC at the rear, turn 05:53, my best so far. but she is back to being usable was a day and a half.

  The answer to the question is when you put that there is nothing usable at all because the PC looking for the OS and boot any disk has. I had to start player, I chose so that I could erase and reformat the C drive and run the installation of the OS. Once he was done with that I had to choose again which drive start so I could erase and reformat the drive E then he would leave goes to the starting window when I turned it on.

  Simple answer is not a. Read above.

  PS: I hope this helps someone.

• Internal hard drive inside Dell PowerEdge R710

  Well then clarify first of all. This server is NOT used in a business environment. Its literally being used as a home media server (Yes, exaggerated way I know but I got for free so who is complaining).

  IM currently using a PowerEdge 2950 as my media server, I just took his upgrade, a R710 Gen 2 and I would like to use all 6 bays at the front for hard drives that I can put the plates on instead of 1 for the operating system and then everything else for the media.

  How I would go about installing an internal hard drive, preferably a SSD, inside the R710. I know it has a free SATA port but I can't seem to see the spare power cables or cables molex as there is in the Gen 3 2950 I.

  If it is not possible, it's quite good, but I would like to have installed an internal hard drive.

  I know there is a USB port, but I use Windows Server R2 2012 (probably soon to be Server 2016) but I'm not sure if Windows Server can be installed on the internal USB port.

  If you need to record, or on the label of service I can give you this information.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Arron

  Thanks for the clarification. It's something that you can try, but it is not supported and there is no guarantee that the SSD will be detected and it works perfectly. Try this P/N GP700 cable

  

• X 51 - R2, BSOD, internal hard drive not found

  I get a blue screen on average once a day telling me that it is a: KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR until the computer tries to restart bring me to a black screen saying that the internal hard drive is not found. Turn off the computer and restart it solves the problem and the computer works well until the next blue screen. The first time that this happened was right, once I had configured Windows 8 and was about to enter the control panel. It happens literally just out of the blue, often when you make simple and menial tasks. I ran all the Dell diagnostics and apparently everything is fine. Again, as mentioned in the title, it is a brand new Alienware X 51 R2; I unpacked it a week ago.

  If anyone else has had this problem, and if you have, did you find a solution?

  I have been in dialogue with the technical support and ultimately the motherboard and HARD drive had to be replaced. This seems to fix the problem and the computer runs great now without any problem whatsoever.

• X 51, internal hard drive not found

  SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE

  I tried to start my Alienware X 51, but all by starting it keeps freezing and rebooting until it came to this «internal hard drive not found press F1...» Etc.  I don't know what to do someone out there please help me

  Looks like the drive may be failing intermittently. If under warranty, Dell will be replaced. Contact Dell support in your region (Singapore).

• PC tries to boot from external USB instead of the internal hard drive at startup

  Hi, I just took delivery of a refurbished Pavilion p6793. I noticed that the system does not boot if I have my external USB drive connected. It happens with one cannot find the message of charger and asks me to hit ctrl-alt-del to restart. I suspect it's because it's the search for the o/s on USB instead of the internal hard drive. Can you tell me what I need to check and change to allow me to boot from the hard drive even if the drive is connected. Thank you.

  Hello:

  You should probably go into your BIOS by pressing F10 at HP welcome screen and changing the options in the start for the HDD menu start the first.

  Then you can set the boot for other devices as you order please.

  Make sure that you save your settings, where you made the change, and again when you go out.

  When you specifically want to start on a device, press the F9 key to the HP welcome screen and you will be presented with a single boot options menu where you can choose from any one of the bootable devices listed.

• Cannot access the files from the internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead

  I can't access the files from an internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead. I think that my files are still there, as shown in the volume of the player volume ~ 500 gb which is almost completely full. But I can't access most files, including documents and settings. When I took 'ownership' of the folder, I could open the TI but then it showed everything that was in my documents and settings on the computer file I used to open it, not the documents of the car.

  Uhm... I think the issue here is a misunderstanding of what you watch.

  If you want to access your files from the old hard drive - you need to look in the right place.  If the old system was "Windows 7", "Documents and Settings" is the * wrong * place to look and "Users" would be the place to go.

  You * will * take ownership and change permissions on ALL (you want to propagate to all subfolders/files when do - to save time) in order to get them properly.

  New-->: Windows Vista/7 would have your files located in the directory 'Users' of the root of the drive - and then under your username.

  • \USERS\\Desktop\
  • \USERS\\Downloads\
  • \USERS\\Favorites\
  • \USERS\\Documents\
  • \USERS\\Music\
  • \USERS\\Pictures\
  • \USERS\\Videos\

  ... etc...

  Documents and settings to WIndows Vista/Windows 7 is a symbolic link and would lead to what you see if you tried to use it.
