• Installation of a second HARD disk (slave drive) in an Inspiron 3646

  Can I add a second HDD (a slave drive) to an Inspiron 3646? It's a new I 3646, he replaced one consumed. I managed to save the hard drive and I would like to install it as a backup drive/extra storage.

  I can't find any technical information on the Dell website, no patterns or the FAQ.

  There are two bays 'open' on the rear of the case. It allows to install the reader?

  There is no cage attached to these berries or inside the case. Workaround is to make an external hard drive and plug in usb, but would rather put it in the box.

  Any suggestions? Thank you.

  Is it possible to remove the optical drive and replace it with a second hard drive?  This needs no additional hardware?  He would support a 3.5 or 2.5 "hard drive using this method?

  sdxm

  Yes, you could.

  There are two 5.25 "x 3.5" and 5.25 "x 2.5"Bay of converters available, probably 2.5 HD"would be the best fit, but you have to find a 5.25" virgins for the collar. [page 34].

• To replace the DVD drive with the second HARD disk on the pavilion DM4-2000

  Hello

  I would like to remove my laptop DVD drive and replace it with an SSD. It seems that the DVD player does not use the standard format of pins SATA for hard drives, rather than use a slightly smaller connection. Is it possible to connect a laptop SATA drive this in any case and if so, how?

  Any help appreciated,

  Tim

  You need a car adapter. Your laptop uses 12.7 mm optical readers and you need this card:

  Here is the Service Manual:

  See Page 45 for replacement instructions.

  You place the additional hard drive inside the adapter, then swap the front to make look it good.

• Add the second hard drive

  I replaced a faulty computer with a second hand replacement. Both are programmed with XP and the same browser. I installed the HDD in the position of the Tower slave, plugged the cable and Ribbon secondary and put power cord.  The computer does not recognize the additional hardware. Y at - it an easy way to simple transfer of data to the new hard drive, or is there a way to access the second hard disk drive so I can use the computer program?

  You have misused terminology in this issue, so it's a little difficult to determine what your problem may be caused.

  What do you mean by "the computer does not recognize the additional hardware?  Only shows drive in disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)?  If the player appears in disk management, but not in my computer, you may need to use disk management to assign a drive letter.

  It seems that if you want to take the faulty computer hard drive (in condition, of course, was not the hard drive itself which was defective) and put it in another computer.

  There is no such thing as a "slave of the Tower position."  Likely, you just put the old drive into an available drive Bay.

  Generally, the 'secondary' water is used for optical drives - not a second hard drive.  Usually, if there is only one hard drive, it is connected to the connector at the end of the water and the second hard drive is connected via the connector in the middle of the cable.  The cable connected to the primary IDE connector on the motherboard should be a 80 wire cable, while the other may be a 40 wire cable:http://www.mikeshardware.com/howtos/howto_connect_ide_hd.html

  When you have 2 drives connected on the same cable 80 wire, one is the 'master' (the one linked at the end of the cable) and the other is the "slave".  You specify the drive to this topic, what you are doing by correctly setting the jumper on the pins at the rear of the car.  You set the jumper on a 'master' and the other as 'slave' or two disks can be set for "Cable Select" If both support this and you have the special cable Select "Cable".

  However you connect, you must make sure that the drive of the old computer is defined as the slave drive, because you do NOT want to start from this installation of Windows.

  The foregoing assumes that both drives are the older IDE type of walk.  If one or both are SATA drives, it is quite something different.

• How t change the startup hard disk?

  I upgraded my hard drive to a 500 GB to 2 TB Drive with a hard drive, copy of the program, thinking I could copy my files to the new drive.

  Help. I need to start on my old HDD 500 GB.

  You could add the second hard disk of 500 GB as a slave and copy your files on the hard disk of 2 TB if its startup. If its not bootable, try to load Windows on it and install the 500 GB drive as a slave and copy your files:

• Re: How to use the second hard drive in Satellite A300?

  I got a second hand Satellite A300 which was to be thrown out due to a defective DVD.
  I fixed the DVD and have a perfect system.

  On opening the box, I discovered that there 2 x 250 GB hard drives. I checked CMOS and show the 2 drives. However, Vista displays only the a drive.

  Excuse my ignorance, but how do I access to the second drive?

  I have Satellite A300 with two hard drives and each HARD drive has another operating system. Both hard drives are recognized correctly.
  I put t know what the problem is here, but the two hard disks should be recognized automatically.
  Try to set the BIOS to default settings and check again.
  Try to start the check and install Microsoft bootable disk if the two hard disks are displayed in Setup.

  I just hope that there is not a hardware problem.

• Pavilion t770.uk: ADDING a SECOND HARD DISK

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion t770.uk desktop PC. According to the manual, there is a dual Bay HARD drive space, which means that a second HDD can be mounted also on the original HARD disk. Data ATA series and power wires are there and there is space at the back of the HARD drive for an extra HARD drive cage, but he doesn't seem to be any fixing points to hold the HARD drive safely. HARD drive existing slots outside the cage and is held in place by a plastic locking support, but no such support or fixing holes are there for a second HDD. Can anyone help?

  See pages 10-15 in this manual:

  This shows how to add a second hard drive, with or without the cage.

• How to copy "c" for the largest hard disk drive?

  My 'c' drive is full, and I need to move to a bigger drive. They do a free program like superduper for mac? I don't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling xp and everything.  My xp disk is one of the originals and it takes forever to do all updates.  I was amazed when I found a FREE Mac program that copied the disc to start on another drive, nothing for mac is free.  Now, to find the same thing for windows.
  Kurt

  my suggestion is probably the easiest method without hassle by simply installing this new HDD as slave disk because all motherboards can handle at least two hard drives.

  (Incidentally, hard drives have few riders can designate the device as a master or slave).

  the main drive with the operating system is the master, and you can leave it as what.  No software purchase, no worries with imaging or backup and no formatting.

  the second hard drive, IE. your new hard drive will be the slave drive.  then, you can move all your personal files from the master to the slave.

  by moving and separating your personal data system data, you relieve your master drive with as the abundance of data and establish a methodology that will preserve your personal files where system drive is damaged.

  If you do not use the method described above, I can share the steps to moving your personal files on the hot spare.

• Message need to get an administrator authority, during the passage of the second hard drive.

  Original title: pass to the second hard drive

  My computer has two hard drives of 500 GB.  One is almost full.  I want to start using the other hard drive, however when I tried my computer said that I need the authority of a Director and that I don't have that power.  I am the only administrator on the computer, so I don't understand why it says that.  In addition, as the original hard disk memory becomes more complete, my computer crashes more.

  Can anyone help?

  Hi ColMarriott,

  Using a hard drive internal or external?

  You can try the second formatting hard drive after taking a backup of the data on the disk.

  If you use an external hard drive, you can try the following steps.

  a. connect the external drive.

  b. find the external hard drive in windows Explorer

  c. right-click on the drive and select format.

  You can check the following items and check:

  Install or remove a hard drive

  Create and format a hard disk partition

  Important: Make sure that you have backed up all the data before going forward with the format.

  Since the first hard disk is full and crashing, you can try to move some data and check only files not programs drive different or another location.

  Hope this information is useful.

• 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.

  A single license is a single Installation.

  This applies even on the same computer.
