• Pavilion 550-110: 2nd HARD drive and video card

  You can put in a second HDD in the 550-110? Is there a Bay and the cable? Can hold my Nvidia GeForce 9500GT? He needs a PCIe 16 spot.

  Damascus2, welcome to the forum.

  Here is the data on your computer.  If you look at Page 2 of the section of extension bays it shows 2-internal - 3.5 "(un disponible)."  This is where the second hard disk can be installed.  In addition, you will need data cable and SATA power.

  The motherboard has a PCI Express x 16 slot.  However, the power supply unit (PSU) is only 180W.  It will not feed the 9500GT.

• Pavilion N5415 notebook replacement hard drive

  I have an older Pavilion N5415 Notebook and hard drive died. HP no longer wears the replacements I can order online. The old drive is an IBM & reg Travelstar 4200 RPM 10 GB, ATA/IDE, 2.5 "x 9.5 mm. I need to know what I can safely replace this drive with." I found one on amazon.com with the following specifications and I need to know if it will work:

  • Hitachi Travelstar 4 K 120 HTS421280H9AT00 80 GB portable hard drive
  • Buffer 8 MB spindle speed 80 GB storage capacity IDE UDMA/100 4200 RPM interface
  • 7.1 ms average latency average 11 ms read seek time format 2.5 inch 9.5 mm drive height factor

  What other specs do I need to be concerned in addition to rpm and physical size?

  Thank you!

  32 GB is only a problem on some old computers... no need to worry. Once you have passed this barrier the next barrier is 137 gigs which does nothing more than 120 concerts can be used. I don't know the N5415 will be executed against this barrier. So whatever it is a disk of 120 Go up is ok and not better or worse than a smaller drive. Indeed, young readers tend to be older design, which means that they are running more hot and use more power.

• HP Pavilion dv7t 3300: replacing hard drive SSD with the recovery DVD

  My Pavilion dv7t3300 has two hard drives... A SATA 500 GB of data and an SSD 128 GB containing the operating system and other programs.   The SSD drive that contains the operating system failed.  When I install the replacement SSD, I intend to use the HP System recovery DVD (2) which came with the unit.  If I load the recovery disks will be erase/format all my data-files in the 500 GB drive.

  The new drive is "naked".

  Thank you for your help

  Tim

  I just remove the second disk while making the recovery operation and slap it in when the process is complete. Better safe than sorry. Theoretically, the recovery disks will not affect the second drive, but it's really easy to be sure that they will not be 100%.

• Can I add an additional hard drive storage?

  A 40 GB hard drive, I installed in my computer and I would like to know what would be the best practice to install an additional hard drive?

  A 40 GB hard drive, I installed in my computer and I would like to know what would be the best practice to install an additional hard drive?

  Basically, you have two choices:

  1. install a second hard drive (only possible if your computer has physical space for this)

  2. replace your 40 GB with a bigger drive.

  If you add or replace, there are two important factors you need to consider size and interface type.  Most laptops use 2.5-inch disks.  Most of office/towers use 3.5-inch disks.  There are several different hard drive interfaces, and you get a drive that has the same interface as your computer.

  Most older computers use the Parallel ATA interface (PATA or sometimes simply ATA).  These discs are also called IDE disks.  There are several variations, but those generally available today is the Ultra ATA66 IDE / ATA - 5, Ultra ATA100 IDE / ATA - 6 and the Ultra ATA133 IDE / ATA-7.  The numbers refer to the data transfer rate.  No matter the data transfer capacity of the disc, however, your actual data transfer rates will be limited by your motherboard.  Finally, you'll notice an RPM rating and a size of "cache".  For the performance, in general, the higher these numbers the better the performance.

  Number of computers more recent uses the interface Serial ATA (SATA).  There are three versions of the present.  SATA-1 (1.5 Gbps), SATA-2 (3 Gbps) and SATA-3 (6 Gbps).  However, given that you currently have a 40 GB drive, it is strong enough to bet that you have NOT of SATA.

  Another interface is SCSI.  You have probably not SCSI.

  The starting point is by identifying the brand and model of your computer.  If you have a desktop/Tower computer, you can buy almost any hard drive, that you like; laptops can be a bit more picky.  A good resource for readers (once you know what you want) is newegg.com  Drive Solutions offer one advice that should tell you what players are compatible with your computer.

  If you choose to replace rather than add them, you will need to 'clone' of your existing to the new drive.  To do this, you will need appropriate software.  Sometimes, the software basic disk of cloning comes with the disk (remember to read the product description or email/call the seller before you buy).  Sometimes, it is available as a free download from the manufacturer of the drive (for example, if you buy a Western Digital drive, WD has "Acronis True Image WD Edition Software").  Or you can get your own copy of various applications of cloning, some are free, but more for sale.

  If you replace a laptop (or a drive in a desktop/tower with no computer available drive Bay), you can buy an external hard drive enclosure.  There are a variety of them.  Just be sure to get one with the internal interface correctly to match the drive and an external interface that is compatible with your computer (usually, USB 2.0).  External hard disk enclosure are sometimes comes with disk cloning software.  And, once your new drive is in place and functioning satisfactorily, you can put the old drive in the box and erase (format) it and use it as a backup drive.

  Above sounds a lot more complicated than it is.  You will probably find even the process YouTube videos, if you look at.

• Adding an additional hard drive

  Have an emachine with windows vista upgrade, I put an extra GI on my PC to make 1.5 G. I want to add an additional hard drive. I now have a120GB hard drive. I have an another emachine with a 160 GB hard drive, but my problem is the 120 GB is 32 bit and the 160 GB is 64-bit. My question is that I can use the disk 160GB of hard drive without any problem, most 120 GB hard drive?

  The drive works perfectly.  Any hard drive can operate in 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Boulder computer Maven

• Adding an additional hard drive in a small factor dc7900

  I try many ways to install an additional hard drive but no luck, was installing 2 Sata and Sata 3 decision-making, but did not work, just like to know if it is possible to add an additional Sata hard drive to the PC, one of the factory (Original) is too small, I thank you in advance...

  Always learning, is never too late

  Not sure if you have the ultra thin or small form factor (if)... but I don't see why you shouldn't be able to add an additional hard drive. In fact, HP has even some videos of support on how to do...

  http://h20464.www2.HP.com/resultsCSR.htm?prodSeriesId=3785403&MEID=15DB20AC-BA4B-4E1A-A5FE-6CBED2052DF0

  If you have the data and power cable attached, the reader should appear under the general tab of the BIOS. You shouldn't have to do something with jumpers on the drive and it does not matter what sata connector you put it in.

  Is that the new bad drive? Install in another PC to see if it works...

• Pavilion 550-154na: add additional USB3 ports at the 550-154na Pavilion

  I need extra USB ports for external hard drives like all rear ports are now filled.

  While that would be a hub powered plug-in I'd rather install a USB3 card using spare internal / available PCI Express x 1 & a SATA power Y splitter cable if I can. Are there any speed, power & the and/or other implications please?

  USB3 ports are likely to run at full speed?

  And internal 180W power enough for these additional requirements?

  Thank you very much.

  It worked very well. A USB 3.0 port Inateck 4 split easily in the spare PCI x 1 slot, powered by a splitter cable to 'Y '. Took about 3 minutes, which worked immediately, & big parade.

• Pavilion 510-p127c: I can install an additional hard drive in the model 510-p127c

  Is there a space to install a second hard drive for storage in the PC?

  There are only 2 Sata Headers (for devices) on the motherboard.

  The only solution would be a USB3.0 external hard drive.

• Pavilion p6-2033de: mounting an additional hard drive to the Pavilion p6 2033de

  I want to get an extra hard drive in this machine (SSD).  Can you tell me what I need to do?  It doesn't seem to be an extra Bay for another hard drive, although there is certainly a spare SATA connector on the motherboard and a spare power connector.  Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

  Hello

  Your PC is not configured for multiple drives.

  1. If you don't use your optical drive then remove it and use a 5.25 "adapter 2.5".  You can always get an external adapter or an enclosure for the optical drive.
  2. Use a 3.5 "to 2.5" adapter and attach the SSD to the bottom of the PC.
  3. This double stacking support 3.5 "HD with a 3.5" to 2.5 "adapter might work.
  4. You might be able to bolt the SSD on the area just above the hard drive. Try to align the SSD at inside the fame of some of the existing holes.  This thread can give you some ideas.

• HP Pavilion Slimline S5: Internal HARD drive failure, PC does not start

  Drive HARD internal of my HP Pavilion Slimline S5 failed and died recently (bought in 2011). My HP warranty is long gone.

  The splash screen has shown this message:

  1720-SMART hard detects an imminent failure

  Due to lack of player: SATA0

  Failed attributes: # 05

  I have several questions about this:

  1. Is it only caused by HARD drive failure? I want to replace it myself, but I don't really know if there are other parts to replace. Or it will be better to bring it to the computer shop to do carefully check?
  2. I can replace it with Seagate Barracuda 3.5 "(7200 RPM, 1 TB, SATA 3 or 6)? I think that the current HARD drive is Hitachi.
  3. I still need to transfer Windows OEM once the HARD drive is replaced?

  Thanks in advance.

  According to the packing of the Seagate, it might come with the software.  But if it is OEM drive then found the software by clicking HERE.  In general, I use a USB adapter for hard drive to clone if the PC will not support an additional drive.  Given that a number of incomplete model for the PC, it is difficult to find accurate info, but the Pavilion Slimline S5 I checked all have a motherboard with additional SATA ports.  Just have a spare SATA cable and power on the power port and try the cloning software.  Make sure that the drive is not touch a conductive element.  Usually, I place the additional reader on a cardboard box.

  Install the new drive as a replacement for the existing drive and connect everything as it is now.  Then connect the old drive in the manner discussed.  Boot from the CD created with cloning tools.  If the old drive is cloned stll, then when the software is finished, remove the old drive connections to see if the drive can start the computer.  If this is not successful, try to run the recovery screen (F11) BIOS boot manager.  If that does not work, use the Recovery DVD set brand when the computer was new.  If you did this, or lost them, then see THATto order a series.

• Pavilion DV6 2155dx: upgrade HARD drive to SSD

  I want to upgrade my laptop Hp HDD to the SSD. Very successful on the 2 HP desktops. But not a great success on the laptop. Windows does not start with the installed SSD. Black screen with how to text of amendments, but no solution. Checking the BIOS it seems too basic and has no provision to select the correct setting. How can I upgrade the laptop to recognise and start of the SSD, as desktop computers.

  Problem solved. Maybe this helps someone else.

  For reference, the SSD HARD drive migration has been completed with Samsung software tools.

  Although a similar migration was very successful on 2 offices of HP prior as the PC starts fine, this time the laptop set to level did not boot from SSD.

  Based on the reviews elsewhere on the web, with the portable operating from the original HARD disk, I adjusted the BIOS boot sequence to boot from the internal CD-ROM. I was then already migrated SSD HARD drive. Then I started from a prior agreement prepared the repair Windows 7 Bootable disc - now I know why they are so very precious! - and started to repair startup disk said. After a few additional steps miners, he says the problem fixed and carried out traditional, clean startups.

  Also, I can confirm that the Pavilion DV6 works very well with a 250 GB SSD. Most good, this is a speedster. There is therefore no limitations to 160 GB the HP Document seems to suggest.

• Pavilion p6-2016 2nd HARD drive

  I have a HP Pavilion p6-2016.  Can I install a 2nd HARD drive?  There is no power connector (15 pills) for a 2nd HARD drive... If a 2nd HARD drive is acceptable without overloading the power supply, which cable I can buy for this?

  According to the specifications, there is that a single Bay 3.5 inch inside:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03073678

  I don't know where you're going safely mount a second hard drive in it. If you need an additional SATA power cable, you have a power cable 4 white pin (molex) unused? Any computer store would have a SATA to molex power adapter and all the SATA drives used to be packed with some sort of computer stores have a good number of them laying around.

• HP pavilion 500 076ea: no hard drive detected or has no

  Put in a new power supply in a pc
  Comes up with no detected boot drive or does not, how can I solve this problem?
  
  What I have to go out and buy a new operating system e.g. Windows 8 to solve this problem or is the problem worse than that
  
  If I missed any information you need help I can provide
  
  Thank you

  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.
