Pavilion a1700n: expansion of SATA for Pavilion a1700n

How can I add a SATA drive to my desktop? I opened the computer and tried to juggle the SATA drive in the Bay, but do not have enough access to fix the 4 small screws. I tried to open a SIDE PANEL for GREEN, who seemed to be locking drive Bay. After reading the Pg 17 of the guide, I will try to identify the open with a screwdriver. Next problem: I found a SATA connector spare but a single POWER cable which is already set on the HARD disk. Is there an another power cable? I'll keep looking, but it must also attach to the motherboard - where?   There is of course the strap connectors master slave, but these do not have SATA connectors. When I get the above with your help, is there any necessary reconfiguration or MS 7 automatically detects the new SATA? Can I use this 256 GB SATA as an extension of memory because I'm already maxed out at 6 GB?  Or am I recorded to use as a shadow to the top?

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

First of all - the motherboard SATA profits are found down in the lower image irght on THIS PAGE.

second - the power connector can be a bit harder to find.  If there is no other power SATA cables, then maybe an adapter will help you.  If there is a spare Molex power connector, you will need an adapter SIMILAR TO THE.  If not, then maybe A SPLITTER would be an option.

Third - SATA drives should not normally the master/slave settings.

As long as the ordinary reader works, then the added disc must be considered as additional storage space.  Assuming that MS 7 means that Windows 7, then it should recognize the drive.  It may take formatted to be usable.

  • Long shot - driver SATA for Pavilion 15-n048ca

    Hello

    Here's a question long shot re drivers.

    I recently bought a HP Pavilion 15-n048ca that came with 8 Win. I have a material more elder who has no new drivers for this OS. And win 8 does not come with an XP as Win 7 compatibility mode.

    So I try to install XP Pro in another partition on the same system (multiboot).

    (Yes, I know that XP is about to be "end-of-life" and will not get updates in the future, etc, etc, etc. - been thru all this.) Where my rush to try to get a stable installation before the 8 Apr.)

    As you probably know, XP does not know about the AHCI SATA drivers (even though I think that if I had bought an XP with SP3 installation disc, it could have on it, but still not be compatible with my h/w). But my original XP disk doesn't know anything about. And the BIOS is not an option to change the HARD drive in the UEFI IDE compatibility mode, but it does not allow the boot Legacy mode - very limited.

    I can create a new "slipstreaming" of the OS installation disc, the SP3 and the new drivers - if I can find something suitable.

    The AMD hardware ID are:

    PCI\\VEN_1022 & DEV7804 & SUBSYS_216B103C & REV_00

    PCI\\VEN_1022 & DEV7804 & SUBSYS_216B103C

    PCI\\VEN_1022 & DEV7804 & CC_010601

    PCI\\VEN_1022 & DEV7804 & CC_0106

    I know there is no XP drivers for this hardware. But AMD has in common in a generation (or two) of material, which CAN (and it's a pretty big "IF") allow the use of another pilot, because there's a version of XP.

    Is there something that can work for this system?

    CPU_Z reports of material such as:

    CPU/APU: A8 - 5545M with Radeon HD 8510 G graphics card

    Motherboard HP: 216 b

    Chipset: AMD K15 BMI Rev 00

    Southbridge: AMD A55/A60M Rev 11

    I know that another option is to create a virtual machine and install XP it contains. I do not know the h/s that I want to connect will work, but I'll also give that a try using VirtualBox.

    I'd appreciate any help you can provide.

    see you soon

    Any type of CPU is the computer, which is used to create the XP SP3 slipstreamed CD. With the help of nLite, all you have to do is;

    (1) make an ISO of Windows XP CD and place it on the desktop.

    (2) download Windows XP SP3.

    (3) download and extract the AMD SATA / RAID drivers according to the instructions of Daniel.

    (4) run nLite and integrate the SP3 and AMD drivers.

    (5) create the new ISO.

    (6) burn the new CD of Windows XP SP3.

    Based on Windows and GPT FAQ, it is unlikely that XP will be installed on a GPT disk. Most likely, you will need to partition the drive in the MBR before installing XP. This means that you must also reinstall Windows 8, but you will not be able to use the support of HP recovery, you have created.

    Microsoft requires the leading manufacturers quantify and integrate the product key Windows 8 in the BIOS/CMOS. It's called a digital product key (DPK). You can try this download of Windows 8 OEM;

    http://www.Google.com/URL?SA=t & RCT = j & q = en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.ISO & source = Web & CD = 1 & CAD = AJLN SQI = 2...

    It is a copy of Windows 8 OEM officially licensed and will also install Windows 8 Pro OEM. Download this file, burn it to a DVD, the start of this drive and install Windows 8. It should register as an official copy and use the key embedded in the BIOS.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Anci SATA for HP Pavilion dv6-1230us controller driver.

    I need driver Intel Sata Controller Anci (I want to install windows 7) for HP Pavilion dv6-1230us.

    Hello

    If you can still access Windows, please go to your device manager. Click on the pointer little next to IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers and display the name of your controller SATA ACHI.

    I think that according to the manual, it takes the ICH 9 M.

    Here is the link to the drivers: you must select the 32 or 64 bit version as appropriate.

    Copy them to a USB FlashDrive as you see them. Do not put them in a folder. That plug into a USB port. Start the PC and press F6 to load the sata driver or if the installation asks you for this you will need to use your Up / Dn arrows on your keyboard and select the Intel(r) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller.

    Please note that it may not be initially visible in the list of drivers on your screen, this is why you must use the arrow keys to find. Once you, just select it and press on enter and hope that your installation will continue.

  • Add disk 3,5 '' SATA for Optiplex 780

    I have a new (refurbished) desktop Optiplex 780 DT.  It has eight USB 2.0 connectors and not 3.x of USB connectors. I also have a 1 TB 3.5 '' SATA of an old machine (RIP) (WD1001FALS).

    1. do I have to add a card USB 3.0 update, I can use the external USB-SATA interface I 3.x USB speed.  I know the jury in the case, but what power and functional interface connections are available inside the case, or at least on the motherboard?

    2. what happens if I wanted to do an internal SATA drive, is there a (power and interface) connectors inside for that?  There is a white board which implies that I could fit the drive there, possibly with after-sales support.  Otherwise, I have it positioned as a mini tour, so I pose just the drive inside where it fits.

    3. If I had to choose to use the esata to the rear connector, is there a way to get power to the drive off the beaten track?

    Thank you

    Jan

    Hi Jan,

    Here's the manual for your Opti 780:

    There are two openings for a disk 3,5 '' HARD so lots of room inside. You will probably need a data cable, but there should be a spare power connector. There is 1 SATA and SATA 2 ports. Check the manual to see which is which.

    ESATA or USB, you will need an external enclosure. But any USB 3.0 expansion card update should be compatible with your system.

    Hi all I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 PSLB9E and I am trying to downgrade from Vista to XP. I have the sata AHCI controller mode, I looked for this drivers on the toshiba site and the site of intel, but none of these work when installing xp and pressing f6 when you use a usb floppy drive. Any ideas?

    Hello

    If you have set the compatible SATA mode in the BIOS, then you n t need to install all the drivers SATA!
    Compatibility mode allows you to run the HARD drive without SATA drivers.

    But if you want to use the HDD in SATA mode, then you will set back to AHCI.
    In this case the SATA drivers must be installed in order to use the HDD in SATA mode.

    The laptop seems to be equipped with the AMD CPU and so you need a SATA chipset AMD driver. That are in the package of graphics (record SBDrv/SATA") driver

    You need to install the SATA drivers before you install Windows. If you have two options:

    1 copy the drivers on a floppy disk. After that, you start from the Windows CD and press F6 to load drivers.

    2 do. you a new installation with nLite disc. Search forum, there is a lot of discussion on this topic.

    If you have problems to do this, ask here in the forum. ;)

  • Satellite A300D-15B - SATA for XP drivers does not work

    Can someone tell me where to find the SATA XP driver for my A300D-15B? I tried the files that are part of the whole of the display:
    Txtsetup.OEM
    SiWinAcc.sys
    SilSupp.cpl
    SiiSupp.vxd
    Si3112.sys
    Si3112.mpd
    SI3112.inf

    But the hard drive was not detected during the installation of XP. I tried nlite and also using the standard XP + loading the drivers installation - neither worked.

    I now use the compatibility mode and the laptop works very well, but performance gain would be nice. If I am able to find the right driver, it is possible to change to SATA without completely reinstalling XP?

    Hello!

    Normally, it should be the Si3112.sys file.
    However, you are right with the package display. It contains the SATA drivers.

    Normally, it should work so in your case I launch the installation of XP and load the drivers with external floppy F6.

    And before you can use the SATA drivers, you must set the mode AHCI in the BIOS is not compatible.

    Hello

    You will find on the page of the Toshiba EU pilot the AHCI driver packs for Win 7 32 bit / 64 bit and win 8. There is no driver for the chipset AMD in Win XP.

    It seems that AMD does not Win XP AHCI/RAID/SATA drivers for this chipset.

    However, download the version of Win 7.
    Unzip the package. Now, you'll see an exe file. It's a package too.
    Right-click on the exe (TC40115700D) and extract the package.

    Now, go to:
    TC40115700D-packages-> drivers >-> SBDrv->-> AHCI SB7xx
    There you will find the files amd_sata/driver

    But again: not quite sure if Win XP would be able to manage it.
