• Add the second hard drive to a desktop Pc HP Pavilion P6-2100

  I want to add a second hard drive to a HP Pavilion A1700n Pc desktop to a new HP Pavilion P6-2100 Desktop Pc, so I can transfer files.

  milehisb,

  Welcome on the user forums.  Section manuals PDF from HP did not offer a guide to upgrade and Service.

  There are several options, depending on your needs and your expertise with the internal components of a computer.

  If you goal is to simply get the data off the drive, then put it back in the A1700n, I would use #1.

  (1) use this external adapter for occasional use:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002

  (2) first search to find if you have a spare Sata power plug. Or you will need an adapter (molex 4pin to Sata).

  As the player in question is VIsta, it does not start correctly and could delay the start of WIN7.

• I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?

  I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?  Somewhere in the 320 to 500 GB range and I want a quick unit because it will be used for rendering videos.    Thank you for your response.

  Hello

  How fast is fast is the real question.

  Have you looked at hybrid drives OCZ? Expensive but probably the fastest option.

  Seagate also made a hybrid hard drive.  Good price... You will need a 3.5 "to 2.5" support if the player does not support.  If you install the drive in an empty optical Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 2.5" support.

  Your other choice is 7 200 or 10 000 rpm traditional hard drives.

  Another option would be to add a PCI sata and two external hard dirves configured in RAID 0.

• System on Pavilion dv9743cl recovery - so it will clear the second hard drive?

  Hi guys. I have a HP Pavilion dv9743cl and it has 2 separate hard drives. I intend to use the system restore to reformat and reinstall Vista, and I was concerned that it would wipe out the second disc as well.

  I looked on the forums, and some posts said that there is a recovery of the system or with Reset option. I do not have this option; I only have the system recovery. Do you know if the rail with it reformatted my second drive? Thank you very much!

  Disconnect the 2nd drive.

• Add the second hard drive for HP Pavilion dv7-3173nr

  So rumor is my DV7 may take a second hard drive.

  So I got a second drive, open the bottom where the reader will, and there is no SATA connector. Apparently I need a shopping cart or something, but I can't. Am I missing something obvious?
  
  Thank you.

  Yes you need a shopping cart and a connector. The interface is not a standard SATA plug... There is a cable that connects the SATA drive in a small plug in the second Bay.

• Adding a second hard drive to a 500-380nf Pavilion?

  I just bought a new 500-380nf Pavilion.

  In the store I did understand the seller I was intending to add second hard drive to a 1 to SATA (which I already loaded with all my media files).

  However, now I am home and have taken the side panel, it seems that the system a capacity for 2 more SATA connections on the motherboard, power cable from spare at least one and a lot of physical space.

  BUT the chassis appears to have been designed with ONLY 2 bays - that are occupied by the existing hard drive and the optical drive.   Am I missing something?   There is a place to mount the second hard drive, isn't there?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Some models of the HP 500 - xxx series are provsioned for a 2.5 device "(SDD ou HD)."  See the image below.

  

  If you have removed the optical drive you can then use a 5.25 "to two hard drive adapter 2.5"since you mentioned a 2.5 hard drive".

  What do I need install the second hard drive HP PAVILION: p6633w?

  Hello

  You need two cables, one is a sata cable:

  http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/30305659/706331346/STARTech-com-6in-SATA-to-right-angle-SATA-serial-ATA-cable-female-SATA-female-SATA-6-inch-red/ListingDetails.html?_%24JA=TSID:13315% 7Ccat: 30305659% 7Cprd: 30305659 & kw = {keyword}

  This cable is only for data and connect the hard drive to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

  The other cable is energy:

  http://www.itpartsdirect.com/STARTech-15-24cm-4-pin-Molex-to-SATA-power-cable-adaptor.html

  It connects the hard drive to the PSU.

  You can also buy a combo like this cable:

  http://www.Amazon.co.UK/DP/B00064GBT4/?tag=hydra0b-21&hvadid=9550951989&ref=asc_df_B00064GBT4

  All you have to do is to connect the hard drive and that's it. Make sure that the main drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are the numbers 1, 2, 3...)

  Hello:

  Yes, you should be able to.

  They are the same model series and should have essentially the same key components.

  Here is the link to the service manual for the ze2000 series.

• HP Pavilion dv7-4180ea second hard drive

  I recently bought a HP Pavilion dv7-4180ea (XE274EA #ABU). One of the reasons why I chose this laptop was because it was announced as being able to have two hard drives.

  When I open the HDD I discovered that it there is no way to install a second hard drive, because the cable and the caddy is missing.

  Anyone know the part number for it? The necessary cable is longer, so the previous parts for DV7 don't work with it. I called my local provider of HP, and they did not know the number of the piece, which is a little ridiculous. I probably have to pay RIP-OFF prices for something that should have been included in the laptop in the first place.

  HP has not yet, but do to the sites of third parties.

  NewMode

  These guys are the main suppliers of spare hard drive caddy. It will work. HP eventually will do the part available but don't hold your breath. $40 is a bit strong but not terrible. HP will charge more when they make available.

• Second hard drive for HP pavilion laptop solutionn

  Hello:

  I got a Pavilion dv7-4173us laptop in ealy December 2010 a few weeks ago...

  I also want to add a 2nd drive hard because I can't use the first hard drive

  for LINUX.

  All 4 primary partitions on the first hard disk is already used by HP to the following partition names:

  (C) windows, HP_TOOLS, RECOVERY, SYSTEM.

  I don't understand why HP has to exhaust all primary partitions.

  Most manufacturer only use towing.

  they could have put their tools and recovery files in a partition or combine withSYSTEM partition

  It seems that they do not want to support the Linux community...

  If anyone knows what primary partitions can I remove safely from the first hard drive, that would be great.

  In any case, the reason why I'm posting this is to ask if you successfully add a 2nd interal hard drive to the computer laptop dv7.

  I looked att he manul and it show where I can stable the 2nd hard drive.

  IMPORTANT observation:

  However, I notice the connector on the motherboard for the 2nd drive hard is not the same as the

  first hard drive. I also noticed there is no need of rails to support the 2nd drive hard because it it ca be mounted with a hard drive are the first screw.

  I hope that is not a connector owner.

  I would like to know what your HP solution?

  I spent about 4 + hours with HP tech and sales and still did not get a response...

  Service very poor customer... very bad for business.

  Maybe we need to know about... the Linux community bad customer service
