• Problems after installing the second SATA drive in Windows 7

  I just install a second SATA hard drive in Windows 7. Currently, I use only a processor AMD Athlon X 2 4800 with 3 GB of RAM, Windows 7 64 - bit, installed on a 400 GB Samsung SATA drive and have two (a pioneer and a Liteon) DVD burners.

  System worked fine until I put in the new drive. Previously, I had hung as such discs: SATA1 was the existing 400Go drive, SATA2 and 3 were two DVD burners (don't ask me why, I have 2, will remove one of them, if that's the problem).

  Installed the new HARD in the SATA4 drive. Booted up, saw the new drive in the BIOS, but Windows does not see it until I went to disk management, a drive letter assigned and formatted etc. Also, I swapped the drive letters so I had all of the HARD drive (I have my 400 GB split into two readers via the partition) and C: D: E: F: and G:, DVD players.

  Started, began to transfer data from D: to the new E:, and Windows crashes. No message error, everything freezes. Need to reset, and then allow Windows to check for errors etc. Return to Windows, same case again. I swapped the SATA cables so that SATA1 and 2 are the HARD drives and SATA3 and 4 are DVD players. Reboot, same case.

  What I am doing wrong? Or what should I do? I don't even have to start the transfer of data I just let WIndows running for 2 minutes and it automatically hangs again.

  If someone could help me as soon as POSSIBLE please, it would be fantastic. Thank you!

  I've been in contact with the provider, and Yes, that will take it back for Exchange. They gave me some ideas to try first, I'm going to do tonight; They asked me to check if the HARD disk is running on series complete ATA (SATA) mode and to enable the DMA if he asks me to. Otherwise, they said, try the fail-safe mode. Don't know if any of them are currently enabled etc but will find tonight.

  All else fails, I take that back! Simply means a 3 hours trip to Melbourne to make...

  Thanks again guys for your help.

• Adding a second SATA drive to e9250t

  I would add a second ATA drive on my desk e9250t. I think that everything should be simple: the motherboard has two spare SATA connectors and several additional power connectors from the power supply. Should I change something in the settings of the BIOS (I have no manual for BIOS)? I don't want NO of RAID, just two separate internal SATA disks - I assume that Windows 7 will be assigned the next available drive letter to the new drive. Am I missing something? If someone else did and has knowledge to share, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

  You'll be fine. Installing the drive as it comes out of the retail packaging. Partition and format the new drive clean through the console/computer management disk management and it will assign the next drive letter as you state (or any other letter you choose).  Right click on "computer" and select "manage" and the console appears, select disk management. It will ask you to open the drive is OK, then format, then you can assign the drive letter. If you have any questions the BIOS are accessible with F10, but as long as the new drive is not bootable it will not interfere with the successful launch of Windows 7 since the original drive.

• Second installation of SATA drive problem

  I have a BIOS A07 Dimension 9150 w / XP SP2.

  I added a Samsung Spinpoint 500gig drive.  The bios recognizes it; XP seems to recognize it as a second drive, it will do a format but then if I try to use it as a single disk and install XP it is not recognized.

  Firstly a format low leverage?

  Cause problems due to the fast data rates 3gbs?

  
  

• Adding a second SATA drive to Desktop Pavilion m9070.uk

  Hello

  I inherited a new 1 TB WD SATA, but there naked (without cables and screws), and I want to add this to my office, already with a 500 GB WD SATA.

  I don't see any instructions on HP or this forum, so can I check some basic assumptions?

  (a) I need to buy a WD SATA cable to the motherboard? (no other wiring needed?)

  (b) if I want this to be the boot drive, then I connect, format as additional disk, install Vista and then (somehow) change that to be 'Master' - correct?

  Other printable suggestions welcome.

  Thank you

  How to install the new hard drive.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01176906

  To make the new hard drive your boot drive, you'll need to make your recovery disks. You must connect the new drive for the existing sata cable to make your primary drive.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00882383

  Then install the OS on the new drive.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00814731

  You will need another sata cable. Also, look on the power supply and make sure you have a spare for the secondary hard drive power cable. After you install the operating system on the new drive, you will need to format the old and set it as a secondary drive.

  P.S. not to use the software provided with the new hard drive to format. When you install the operating system, it will do all that for you.

• Collision of signature on second SATA Drive - Win7

• Second hard drive installation

  I installed a second SATA drive in my XPS 410.  I wanted to increase my internal storage space.  The system is configured with RAID in the BIOS.  I am running Windows Vista.  With the installed new drive and the new drive is enabled in the BIOS SATA configuration, I do not see the new drive when starting Vista.  I know that it is because the RAID is enabled.  If I go into the BIOS setup and try disabling RAID Vista won't start and gives me an error with options to attempt a repair or start normally.  In order not to damage others I go back and turn it on again RAID and let Vista Restart.  Once again, I get the error with the repair or restart option.  I did the repair option and Vista restore.  Everything is now back as I started.  My question is: can RAID go out without destroying the data on my C drive?  I checked the program Intel Matrix Storage Controller and it indicates that the original drive is not in an active RAID configuration.  So it looks like this could be done without damage, but it's scary, territory and I would like to learn more before you continue.  All the world is cela and what happens?

  
  

• DV7 discs, 1 or 2 sata drives?

  Repost this question, hopefully better written.

  Glancing dv7-7212nr. Chose this one because it is only for the model dv7 showing in full HD.

  He says he has a sata drive main, with a 32 GB "high drive".

  For not looking on HP, because everyone calls this 32 gb HIDING a player, but as it cannot be used for storage, it is not storage.

  So, I have the same confusion as before. Can this cause a real second sata drive? The specs do not mean that it can.

  Which is curious, because it is a quite remarkable possibility to hold your two disks. I think it would be a major point of advertising.

  What I need, is a C: drive ssd 256 GB, with a second large drive like D: 2 TB drive.

  (One way would be to use a disc usb external).

  The other way, its two internal SATA drives. Windows and crucial data on the ssd C:.

  So, I've set up this way, doesn't mean no cache 32 GB?

  It is even possible to fill with two internal SATA drives?

  Hello

  I refer to my machine (I hit it now):

  1. it is a dv7-7xxx machine,

  2. it has TWO DRIVES HARD 1 TB each and an SSD (32 GB as you already know).

  You always keep the 32 GB of SSD and use other 2 bays for two SSD or two HARD drives or everyone, whatever you like.

  Hope this answer answers your question.

• Satellite Pro P200 - 17 c: Win XP won't load - installation of the SATA driver

  Hello

  I have a satellite pro p200 - 17 c I've had good years, allways worked without any problem.

  Last week when I booted the laptop, windows won't load and I find myself safe mode selection screen. No options whatsoever me to windows loading, I tried F8 and still nothing.

  I tried the restore cd that reimagee the drive but I get the same thing, I tried a new hard drive, once again the same.

  But if I try to load windows from an OEM to install that software does not because it is a sata drive and there is no floppy drive. I have an external floppy drive I use, but it is not known now.

  Any ideas or suggestions?

  Hello

  Go to BIOS and set it to default settings.

  In this case the SATA mode must be on AHCI. In this case the SATA drivers are required to install the Windows operating system. But as much as I know that Windows 7 already contains the SATA drivers if usually you don t had to add SATA drivers while OS installation the installation program.

  However, here is a nice HowTo document that helps you add SATA drivers for Win XP installation disc.

• Pavilion a6500f: can I add a second SATA hard drive to my HP Pavilion a6500f?

  I have a HP Pavilion a6500f running Windows 7 Home Premium.  I would like to add a second hard drive to 500 GB 7200 RPM to it as a slave drive.  Can I do this?  And if I can how do I know what size must have the hard drive?

  That your system is 8 years old, I suggest you these:

  (1) clone the old drive to a new drive, either 500 GB or 1 TB.  Use it as your new drive system.  Modern Sata 600 drives are 6 Gbps with 64 MB of cache memory. It will have better performance than older Sata 300 players with 32 MB cache / 3 GB/s.

  (2) your old-school, like the reader of the term 'slave' was a reference to the IDE/EIDE, cabling system.

  (3) all you need is a standard WD or Seagate 7200 RPM disk 3,5 '' hard. Both offer a free disk assistant program to facilitate the process of cloning.

• Installation of a second SATA HDD in 500-304nd Pavilion

  I recently bought the Office mentioned in the topic, as well as a second 1 TB SATA HDD to add. I found the connections for a second car but unable to find a place on the computer chassis to physically install the disk. What is the secret here? Do I need a room to mount the HARD drive and if so: where can I find one?

  Thanks for your response!
  
  I found a simple solution to mount the second HDD:
  -J' noticed that the HARD disk that comes with the computer is mounted using the holes at the bottom.
  -J' used the screw holes on both sides of the HARD drive and those identical on the second HARD drive, using four strips of metal (with screw holes on the same distance as the thickness of a HARD drive) and eight live, to link the two together.

• You can a second Sata hard drive in the M series?

  Hello

  Can I install a second hard drive in the M series?

  In particular, I would like to install a Seagate Barracuda SATA 1 TB drive.

  I know he has a Bay, but I can shelter the disc in another case.

  Thank you

  I think it depends on the version of the m series that you have.

  the series m72e (small footprint); There is only a single 3.5 "sata bay.

  on the motherboard there are 3 sata headers (cd player / hard drive + 1 other).

  the way I did it was to order a double silverstone 2.5-online adapter disk 3,5 '' screwed into the slot of the drive (be careful; not all Player cards have lower fastening screws).

  This allowed me to put a ssd 2.5 "and a 2.5 hard drive" in the case.

  otherwise, it would be pretty tight/impossible to squeeze in 2 size 3.5 "hard drives in the m72e

• Installation of a dual boot for XP on a Vista - XP installation computer forget the SATA drive after restart required #1

  Hello

  I'm trying to set up a dual-boot XPpro on my Vista machine.  I found the instructions detailed at various locations.  I prepared a score of 30G on my SATA drive and booted from my XPpro and XPpro (SP2) retail drives.  The score is quite small because I have only use for some applications.

  I have the following problem and I wonder if anyone can help.  The disk and partition is by my SP2 disc, but it's ok that BONE is not used on any other machine.

  I can choose the new partition as the location for the new installation of XP.

  Installation gets to the point where the first reboot is required, then at startup, I'm stuck on the option 'press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.  I assume that the reader is not detected.  If I try to start from scratch, I get the warning that the new partition already has an operating system on it, but I can reformat and move forward, then arrive at the startup problem re.

  There is no XP drivers for my Board, but I can not install them because they are on CD and the only option to load the specific drivers in the first part of install required has a diskette is in the drive, and of course I don't have a floppy drive.

  I then use the Startup Repair in Vista I can't move to the stage where XP is installed in fact correctly.

  Any help very welcome!

  Hello

  I made a disc of slipstream with nLite as suggested, my sata drivers included but still could not circumvent this problem.  Installation kept insisting that they had to come from A:

  Rather than taking the box to bits I read from the link posted by Michael Murphy, once again and found the answer of Taydius on 250/1 posts.

  http://www.syschat.com/dual-boot-Vista-XP-Vista-already-26-1946.html

  Problem solved by installing EasyBCD in Vista, it points to the new partition with the inaccessible XP and reboot and selection, installation on board as usual.

  Dual boot now works fine.

  Thanks for the help!
