Pavilion 500-098: adding hard drive, but no 2nd hard drive Bay

I want to add a second internal hard drive to this computer, but unfortunately the computer has only a hard drive Bay. There is plenty of space for a second hard drive, I thought that I would put the player in the unused space, setting in place somehow so that it does not move. I know I could install an external hard drive, but prefer to have an internal hard drive. The power supply has a supplement of power supply (unused) harddrive.  The motherboard is a Joshua-H61-Μatx. It has 4 SATA connections on it.  SATA0 is connected to the hard drive, SATA2 is connected to the DVD player. SATA1 and SATA3 are free. My idea of adding a second hard drive without a second HDD Bay would work?

  • HP pavilion 500-281 adding second drive

    New HP Clubhouse 500 arrived today.

    I have the sata pc win7 with m.b. blown off the power drive

    When I plug in the sata, PC does not recognize the second disk?

    If I connect it to my Dell with Win7, recognized instantly, so I do understand not (computer management/disk management)

    STD sata drive W/D 1 TB harddrive

    If I want to boot from a USB key, I can't get my PC to recognize. I thought I could just go to Configuration and change the sequence of boot for sandisk usb is selected? But at least computer/manage/diskmgmt shows the usb key.

    Doesn't seem to change the boot, he wants to just go into windows?

    Thank you, Howie

    It was again being shipped with TPG/GUID/UEFI PC.

    Unfortunately, this makes it almost impossible to restore a hard disk MBR or install linux dual boot.

    Using Paragon Hard Drive Manager 14, I was able to convert the old UEFI/GPT disk and can start, at least as long, that's not the hard drive of the o/s. So, I can access its files, but not in the registry.

    This also explains why I couldn't even boot with my USB (MBR) hard drive attached.

    Hi @Fraser11,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support.   I believe that since the departure of the power supply in your Pavilion 500-076ea that your hard drive is no longer detected.   I am convinced that I will be able to help you find a solution, and I ask only that pay you it forward. When solve us the problem, I would mark you kindly post as accept as Solution so that others have the same or similar problem can find what worked for you.

    Please use the document of replacement of the power supply HP and Compaq Desktop PCs as a checklist to make sure that nothing was missed when you have replaced the power supply.  From my experience, most of the time when this error occurs after the replacement of the power supply there is a cable that is not properly plugged.

    Please let me know the results.

    Let's get down to the potential pitfalls:

    1. your HP computer uses Jasmine-R motherboard (MSI MS-7778) with six 6 internal SATA 6 Gb/s ports. beautiful card mother AMD, many SATA ports. GOOD to GO.
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03757575

    2. it is a MidTower case, with the hard drive mounted on a Vertical support, bottom left (view after removing the side panel). Follow the Web link below, for this how to (open side panel):
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04100666

    3. IF you want to add a second drive, in this case a 2.5 "Solid - State Drive (SSD), I see three 3 potential location.

    (A.) mounted horizontally, with support of the adapter in the box below the DVD/CD drive.

    (B) vertically, mounted on the Panel lower front of the computer case.
    A 3.5 "to 2.5" adapter support can facilitate this fixation or the player first itself (using the 4 holes tapped on bottom of SSD) IF the perforations (ventilation, fan, hard drive carrier) line up properly.

    (C.) mounted horizontally on the botton (floor) of the case. Location does not fit all applications.
    The San disk Extreme Pro SSD, I bought in 2014, has been mounting spacer/vibration rubber that could allow this type of editing with a contact adhesive. This montage approach is not appropriate in all cases.

    Selling manufacturers SSD Kits and readers Raw (desktop, laptop)- so working with your store of the local computer for sale retail (££ or €) for a proper selection.

    4. REVIEW the available power cables (SATA style) for their ability to reach these 3 mounting locations.
    Extensions are available from box Mod shops and retail stores.

    Quick question, the HP Pavilion 500-217 support an installation of Windows 7? Reason for this computer is for my elderly father died yesterday, and it's not worth repair. I want to get this computer for him but I know that he will never get Windows 8 (his computer had Vista). It will be just too much frustration.

    Hello:

    W7 should work well on this model.

    There are 2 things you need to do first...

    1. your recovery media set.  See info below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03481733

    2. you need to change 2 BIOS settings in order to install and continue to run W7.  See info below.

  • Pavilion 500 adding hard drive

    Bought a desktop Pavilion 500 computer last week.  Kind of disappointed with the documentation that comes with it, also disappointed with the documentaion on this site, just seems to have two manuals supplied with the computer, PDF files (but, maybe I'm not looking in the right place).  Nothing in the documentation provided with your computer that shows what the computer looks like inside, no info at all on the update of the computer (adding another hard drive - what memory?).  I open the computer and take a look to see what is inside, but the manual says that if I open the computer and break the security seal I certify that the computer was working properly until I tried to upgrade the computer, and if the security seal is broken it could screw up my warranty.  I think there must be space for another hard drive, but who knows.  I would like to install the IDE of my old computer hard disk, do not know if this is possible.  I know I can get a disk enclosure and connect it to a USB port, but prefer to install the drive in the computer (may be screwing up the warranty...).  If an IDE drive may not be installed on the computer, as it is, maybe some sort of a SATA to IDE adapter or card would work.  Anyone have any ideas?

    According to respondents, this adapter converts IDE drives to Sata port.

    Hello

    Based on the following specifications, there NOT all alternatives for a second HDD segment:

    Alternatively, you can refer to the following manuals:

  • Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?

    Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?  The bios is version v3.26, and the operating system is XP with SP3.  40 gig HD is full and you are looking to replace it but do not know what the size limit is with this bios version.

    Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion a705w desktop. This is based on the assumption that you converted the 5 and 0 and the fact that you mentioned a 40 GB hard drive.

    You already have the most current version of the BIOS of your computer and running the most recent service pack of Windows XP. Your computer and the operating system should support a drive of 500 GB without problem. The only problem is that your computer isn't any SATA ports, only 66/100 IDE (PATA). Look at local retailers and online for the IDE drives.

  • Remove the hard drive and optical drive on HP pavilion 500-164

    Hello

    I was eager to build a new computer and was hoping to use the hard drive and the optical drive from the Hp Pavilion 500-164 to reduce their costs. I'm confused as to how to remove the optical drive, because I removed the two screws on the left and don't know how to get to the other side as it wouldn't come out. When you remove the hard drive, the SATA cable wouldn't come off, so I stopped here and would like some advice on how to remove the hard drive from its Bay.

  • Try adding an SSD, but now I don't see the hard drive?

    I am trying to add a 256 GB SSD on the 1 TB HDD in my Aspire V3 - 772 G.  I put the SSD in the Bay where the hard drive used to be and swapped the hard drive to the extra Bay.  I have cloned the SSD hard drive and can be started either by when you press F12 to select boot Preferences.  However, when I boot with SSD (as I wish I could), I can see is no longer my hard drive.  When I boot by the 1 TB hard drive, both are visible.

    I tried to load the hard drive in an external enclosure and I am able to see him as he is connected with USB3. When loading in the drive Bay hard ssecondary, Manager of devices does not see my 1 TB hard drive.  Please let me know if you have ideas for what to try next.

    What windows OS is installed and has a value of UEFI BIOS, or legacy?

    Have you tried swapping the slot of SSD and HDD, just to understand if it is a BIOS limitation?
