p6214y won't recognize 2nd hard drive

I have a HP Pavilion p6214y desktop PC.   My current hard drive is on its last breath.  I bought and installed a Segate 1 TB to replace the current drive.  However, Windows does not recognized thqt, the reader is installed. What should I do for the drive to be recognized?

Hello

You may need to format the new HARD drive - try the following.

Hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type compmgmt.msc , and then press ENTER.  Click disk management in the left pane and let readers load upward.  Right-click on your new HARD drive and select formed to start the wizard.  Windows 7 will affect a Volume label so if your happy with it, just leave the default.  File system is NTFS.  Allocation unit size must be left by default.  Select the option to perform a quick format if it is not already done.  Leave all the other default settings, and then click Ok, and then Ok to start the process.

Once this done, your new HARD disk should now appear when you look under the computer.

Kind regards

    is it not possible to use a shopping cart with a TECRA A10?
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Thank you for your experience of return.

    Hello

    I guess that the Tecra A10 does not support these updates.
    The 2nd SATA controller does not seem to support the additional HDD instead of ODD.

    But I've read a few things to get such2nd as recognized HARD drive.
    You must start the laptop without the HARD drive caddy in ODD Bay.
    After that the Windows system has started, you can plug/connect the HARD drive caddy and system PnP service should recognize the new device.

    I think this isn't the best solution, but it seems like it s the only way to get this HDD caddy recognized in the Bay of the STRANGE

    I added 2 hard drive, Toshiba 2 GB (DT01ACA200), and it will not be displayed on the player list if I click on the computers tab under the start icon.

    It is displayed under the disks in Device Manager and it says "this device is working properly." under the general tab.

    Under the Volumes tab on the status line it is said "not initialized".

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    You may use the tool of Windows disk management to partition and format the drive.

  • How to check if the 2nd HARD drive is possible on the Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7?

    Hello

    My A200/PSAE7 has a 200 GB HARD drive. For backup reasons, I would like to know - or learn to know how check - if my A200 already have the hardware support for a 2nd HARD drive, next to the slot for a 2nd HARD drive.
    In the BIOS, I see 'Toshiba MKxxx - hard drive' and 'hard drive - None '. Is the last entry in the BIOS is a sign that a 2nd HARD drive is supported and has to be put in the second location of HARD drive?

    Thanks in advance for any answer!

    Best regards
    Andreas

    You can do the following:

    Open the cover when the 2nd drive HARD so-called must be installed and check for some SATA connectors or cables. If there is an unused SATA connection so you can upgrade, if no, then you will need to backup your data on USB - HDD or whatever.

    If in the BIOS is something now, he won't say that he is physically present.

  • You attempt to add a 2nd hard drive

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE 510 t. I try to add a 2nd hard drive. The 2nd hard drive is a Toshiba 1 TB 7200 RPM 6G.

    Accordingly, the 1st HDD was plugged on SATA2 and the CD-ROM was connected to SATA1. It worked and it started ok.

    I added the 2nd hard drive, plugged on SATA3, went into the BIOS Setup and it has not even see SATA3.

    I then plugged the CD-ROM on SATA3 and the 2nd hard disk on SATA1 and lit, is went into the BIOS config amd saw 2 hard drive and a hard disk 1, it did not see the Wired CD SATA3. Then I tried SATA4-nothing.

    I have advanced and partitioned and formatted the hard drive into two partitions 2 and recovered the data from a backup on each partition.

    It works very well, with both devices, but nothing I have connect SATA3 or SATA4 is recognized by the BIOS.

    Can someone tell me why? is there a jumper on the system board or a setting in the BIOS that turns on SATA3 and SATA4?

    Are my bad SATA3, SATA4?

    I've seen the specifications for hard disks. He is said to use a 1 to 3G 7200 RPM. IS the fact that I use a 1 to 7200 RPM 6 G the cause? Even with the hard drive 2 disconnected and hard drive 1 SATA1 or 2 and SATA3 or 4 CD, it does not yet recognize the CD-ROM drive.

    I tried to pass autour SATA data cables, but it has not changed. Anyone know why the system will not recognized the connected CD-ROM SATA3 or SATA4?

    Or whatever it is well plugged SATA3 or 4? I can run both hard drives, but then I don't have a CD-ROM drive, or I can run a hard drive and a CD-ROM drive, but not 2nd hard drive.

    Any suggestions? I know choose IDE used to have to set a date for the cable, but I don't think that SATA requires that.

    Am I wrong?

    I bought a $70 ServerSupply.com motherboard, succeeded him and it solved the problem.

  • 2nd hard drive in Satellite Pro P200

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite Pro P200.
    Anyone know where I can get an advance and a shopping cart to install a 2nd hard drive?

    As far as I know your laptop can be improved with the second HARD disk if the SATA connector is available.
    When you remove the HARD drive to the second HDD can you see it or not?

    I have the Satellite P200D with place for second HARD drive, but there is no connector HDD SATA upgrade is not possible.

  • Portege M750 - 2nd HARD drive in the Bay select instead of optical drive carrier

    I just bought I used Portege M750 because my M700 was broken. Unfortunately, the berries to choose between the two models are not compatible. Although the availability of a 2nd drive hard trolley is mentioned in the user manual, I couldn't find the part of the disk for the M750 caddy. I tried a standard SATA-SATA HARD drive caddy, but I get a message "select Bay error" at the start, although the caddy runs under windows, as long as you do not hibernate.

    Does anyone know the part no of the real 2nd hard drive for Portege M750 caddy / M780? Or is there another 2nd carriage of hard drive that works with the M750 without restriction?

    Hello

    I guess that you will need a hard drive caddy part number: P000452980
    Then you could place this in the Toshiba Ultra Slim PA3408U-2CTE and PA3408U-1ETC HARD disk adapter

    But you can also contact the Toshiba ASP in your country to get a confirmation...

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.

    Thank you

    PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well

    Hey,.

    If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.

    As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

  • Tecra S3: Installation of Vista does not recognize the HARD drive

    I try to install Vista Ultimate on my Tecra S3, but installation does not recognize the HARD drive.

    I tried to find the driver for Vista for my computer, but not found RAID.
    Tried it with XP drivers, but no longer works.

    Do you have an idea where I can download Vista drivers for RAID?

    THX

    Hello

    Your suggestion is good. The Tecra S3 supports the RAID, and the RAID driver is required to install the OS on the HARD drive.
    On the European driver Toshiba page I found a RAID for XP driver.

    I put t know if this driver will run under Vista, but I recommend to test.
    The RAID XP 1.3.8.0 driver version can be downloaded from this site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Please note; You can store the RAID driver on an external USB and Vista should recognize it!

    Good luck
