• Can I add an additional hard drive storage?

  A 40 GB hard drive, I installed in my computer and I would like to know what would be the best practice to install an additional hard drive?

  A 40 GB hard drive, I installed in my computer and I would like to know what would be the best practice to install an additional hard drive?

  Basically, you have two choices:

  1. install a second hard drive (only possible if your computer has physical space for this)

  2. replace your 40 GB with a bigger drive.

  If you add or replace, there are two important factors you need to consider size and interface type.  Most laptops use 2.5-inch disks.  Most of office/towers use 3.5-inch disks.  There are several different hard drive interfaces, and you get a drive that has the same interface as your computer.

  Most older computers use the Parallel ATA interface (PATA or sometimes simply ATA).  These discs are also called IDE disks.  There are several variations, but those generally available today is the Ultra ATA66 IDE / ATA - 5, Ultra ATA100 IDE / ATA - 6 and the Ultra ATA133 IDE / ATA-7.  The numbers refer to the data transfer rate.  No matter the data transfer capacity of the disc, however, your actual data transfer rates will be limited by your motherboard.  Finally, you'll notice an RPM rating and a size of "cache".  For the performance, in general, the higher these numbers the better the performance.

  Number of computers more recent uses the interface Serial ATA (SATA).  There are three versions of the present.  SATA-1 (1.5 Gbps), SATA-2 (3 Gbps) and SATA-3 (6 Gbps).  However, given that you currently have a 40 GB drive, it is strong enough to bet that you have NOT of SATA.

  Another interface is SCSI.  You have probably not SCSI.

  The starting point is by identifying the brand and model of your computer.  If you have a desktop/Tower computer, you can buy almost any hard drive, that you like; laptops can be a bit more picky.  A good resource for readers (once you know what you want) is newegg.com  Drive Solutions offer one advice that should tell you what players are compatible with your computer.

  If you choose to replace rather than add them, you will need to 'clone' of your existing to the new drive.  To do this, you will need appropriate software.  Sometimes, the software basic disk of cloning comes with the disk (remember to read the product description or email/call the seller before you buy).  Sometimes, it is available as a free download from the manufacturer of the drive (for example, if you buy a Western Digital drive, WD has "Acronis True Image WD Edition Software").  Or you can get your own copy of various applications of cloning, some are free, but more for sale.

  If you replace a laptop (or a drive in a desktop/tower with no computer available drive Bay), you can buy an external hard drive enclosure.  There are a variety of them.  Just be sure to get one with the internal interface correctly to match the drive and an external interface that is compatible with your computer (usually, USB 2.0).  External hard disk enclosure are sometimes comes with disk cloning software.  And, once your new drive is in place and functioning satisfactorily, you can put the old drive in the box and erase (format) it and use it as a backup drive.

  Above sounds a lot more complicated than it is.  You will probably find even the process YouTube videos, if you look at.

• Bought the new computer windows 10, itunes has changed location of support for external hard drive. The music does not appear in itunes.

  BOUGHT NEW COMPUTER WINDOWS 10, CHANGED ITUNES MEDIA LOCATION FOR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. THE MUSIC DOES NOT APPEAR ON ITUNES.

  Changing the iTunes media folder location setting affects only where new additions to your library will be stored.  To use a disk external drive to store your library complete (and assuming that you have access to the original data of the library on an old computer) you must copy the iTunes folder, by default in C:\Users\username\Music, on the external drive - structure library and its records should be like this:

  

  The hold button SHIFT DOWN when you start iTunes and when you see this message:

  

  Click choose a library... then find and select the iTunes Library.itl in iTunes on your external drive folder.

  For more information, see user turingtest2 on make a library of portable split.  You must also acquire a 2nd external drive and allows create and maintain a backup your library.

• Pavilion p6-2033de: mounting an additional hard drive to the Pavilion p6 2033de

  I want to get an extra hard drive in this machine (SSD).  Can you tell me what I need to do?  It doesn't seem to be an extra Bay for another hard drive, although there is certainly a spare SATA connector on the motherboard and a spare power connector.  Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

  Hello

  Your PC is not configured for multiple drives.

  1. If you don't use your optical drive then remove it and use a 5.25 "adapter 2.5".  You can always get an external adapter or an enclosure for the optical drive.
  2. Use a 3.5 "to 2.5" adapter and attach the SSD to the bottom of the PC.
  3. This double stacking support 3.5 "HD with a 3.5" to 2.5 "adapter might work.
  4. You might be able to bolt the SSD on the area just above the hard drive. Try to align the SSD at inside the fame of some of the existing holes.  This thread can give you some ideas.

• My dv7-7121nr has a place for 2 hard drives internally? (ssd)

  The subject says. I am wanting to add an SSD for fast loading games and windows itself, but I don't know that I want to sacrifice the size of the HARD disk here already. I doubt it has 2 slots, but I thought it would be good to ask.

  Hello

  All dv7s have 2 HDD bays, however only the first Bay is bootable, so if you want to boot from SSD, you need to install Windows on this drive and in Exchange for your HARD drive current in the second span in use for storage - you can also buy a caddy for the second span HP or a site such as this.

  Kind regards

• Options of data recovery for crashed HARD drive

  My friend HARD drive gone bad. She has not saved. She has her thesis on it (any resemblance to characters from the fictional movie, living or dead, is coincidentalt. "It's true).

  I know there are options to recover the data. But I'm not familiar with all of them and how much they cost.

  One of her friends which is a network administrator, and continued his studies of masters in computer security will attempt to recover the data for it. I fear that it may just try to boot from a CD and try to read the data, which can worsen the damage.

  What other options does have?

  Thank you

  If it crashed, she may need data recovery specialists.

  These are some $$$.

  You can read this:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon.

• Adding an additional hard drive in a small factor dc7900

  I try many ways to install an additional hard drive but no luck, was installing 2 Sata and Sata 3 decision-making, but did not work, just like to know if it is possible to add an additional Sata hard drive to the PC, one of the factory (Original) is too small, I thank you in advance...

  Always learning, is never too late

  Not sure if you have the ultra thin or small form factor (if)... but I don't see why you shouldn't be able to add an additional hard drive. In fact, HP has even some videos of support on how to do...

  http://h20464.www2.HP.com/resultsCSR.htm?prodSeriesId=3785403&MEID=15DB20AC-BA4B-4E1A-A5FE-6CBED2052DF0

  If you have the data and power cable attached, the reader should appear under the general tab of the BIOS. You shouldn't have to do something with jumpers on the drive and it does not matter what sata connector you put it in.

  Is that the new bad drive? Install in another PC to see if it works...

• Is it dangerous for the HARD drive, the icon she samples D:\?

  Is it dangerous for the HARD drive, the icon she samples D:\?
  .. The example of the start menu button is also in D:\. (Classic interface)

  I downloaded the 'old' Nice and exchanged icons on my desktop.
  The user, workstation, trash ones and two new folders using the icons for them also.

  The question is - I moved these new icon samples in D:\ (which is not the main drive) and I was wondering if the PIN that reads the HARD drive is physically mobile all the time on one side of the disc to another. Because the icons are located in the D:\... and these icons are defined on elements that are found in C:\, lol!

  so I was wondering If it damage the hard drive (physically)!

  Please answer, thank you!

  Hi Kaloyan,

  Keep the icons in the D drive or any other drive which is not the main drive does not affect the HARD drive somehow.

• Mobile LR catalog for external hard drive

  I'm new and in the process of learning LR.  Currently, all my photos are stored and developed in my laptop, but it becomes too much for her hard drive.  I am thinkinng to move all of the LR catalog to an external hard drive.  Could someone please give me some advice how to proceed safely and also how to point LR to its new location, when I open the icon.

  Thank you very much.

  I am pleased to announce that the project has been successfully completed. Thanks to the advice of everyone. That's what I did:

  Some new pictures, asking them to be stored in a subfolder created in the new external hard drive G: has imported. This issue, namely "My LR Photos", is intended to store all my photos in LR in the future. I thought that this will force the G: drive is displayed on the Panel in my LR records. He did.

  Then, in the LR on the Control Panel folder, I moved each subfolder of C: drive for the new folder photo in G:. All photos moved smoothly with their predetermined data intact. None should be reconnected to the original sound.

  I relaunch LR several times to make sure it works and you have no problem at all. It seems to work faster now too.

  I want to thank all three of you for taking interest to share your knowledge and help me to do this without pain.  Best regards.

  Special note to JimHess: I really appreciate your conversation with dj_paige help air cake2 with his problem on another thread. I had a almost the same problem with my LR and worked it out well based on your and dj to air cake2 information.

• Adding an additional HARD drive to Dell Dimension 4600

  HARD drive how much can this system take, I ask because I want to add an additional hunting with taken all readers currently in PC (2). Any help would be appreciated. Regards.Johno65

  Hi John,.

  Thank you for your response.

  Dimension 4600 system board connectors are as follows:

  • Connector 40 pin primary IDE channel
  • Connector 40 pin IDE secondary channel
  • Floppy drive 34 pin
  • 7-pin Serial ATA connector (2)

  The Dimension 4600 supports up to 4 ATA/100 devices on 2 IDE channels. However, it has flanges/casing for two drives internally accessible only. If you do not connect a third drive internally, there is no place to fix in the system chassis (such as the hard drive bays can contain only 2 hard drives) so it could be hung out of the system. Alternatively, you can connect external USB hard drives as needed on the system.

  Answer please if you have other queries.

  Thank you and best regards.
