• DV7-6c95dx: ADDING 2nd HARD DRIVE WE DV7

  ADDING 2ND HARD DRIVE - IT DOES NOT APPEAR UNDER MY COMPUTER - I DON'T KNOW IF SA FORMATTING OR NOT - CAN GET SOME DIRECTIONS - THANK YOU

  How did you add it? Where's the hardware mounting hard disk? In any State of cause, assuming that you have installed a hard drive was bought, it would be empty and needs be initialized (mounted) and formatted. To find computer or this PC in the right click menu... Choose manage, disk management and you will see a Visual representation of the hard drives. It can automatically prompts you to initialize the disk. Once do you that and format it in ntfs and assign a drive letter and the name of the volume, it will appear in the computer as a lettered drive.

• XPS 8700 adding Second hard drive

  Hello - I bought recently for a XPS 8700 and I would add a second 1 to HDD - like this:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822148840

  This HARD - ST1000DM003 - drive looks identical to the factory installed HDD in my XPS 8700 - SCSI\DiskATA___ST1000DM003-1CH1CC47

  Is - this HARD drive identical or close to my OEM HARD drive?  That's fine with me.  I didn't need a lot of space - just need a backup disk.

  1.) do I need a HARD drive caddy any?  I did not open the folder again. I do not believe after looking at manuals online, but wanted to be sure.

  2.) these screws will work to set up the second HDD in the cage?

  3.) cable SATA which should I buy?  Manufacturer, length, type, etc.

  4.) is feeding OK with respect to capacity with a second HDD?

  Thank you. !  Sam

  Update - I installed the internal hard drive, which I purchased from Newegg.  8700 XPS recognized the drive.  All I had to do was to format the drive.

  Here are the things I bought.  The XPS 8700 is equipped with a stand to hold the second hard drive.  Thanks Bev.

• Dell Optiplex 755 adding second hard drive

  I have a Dell Optiplex 755 and I would like to add a second hard drive (160GB 3.5 "SATA Hard Drive Western Digital WD1600AAJS) to have more space, because I think that the stock 75 GB is not enough for me. So I wonder if I need a new power supply or additional data and power cables.

  Thank you.

  The mini tour has two positions for the drives.  See the manual...

  NOTE from the ADMIN: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

  The two positions of hard disks are next to each other.

  Yes, you will need to provide a SATA cable

• Dimension 8100 XP added second hard drive

  I do not ask for help more, but I'm missing something.  I got the correct drive WD HD 80 MG to add as the second disc.  I installed and everything, but the system does not show it.  I tried installing and when I try to choose a second drive, when it reboots it says secondary drive 1 invalid.  The poster secondary drive 0 as the CD-ROM Setup program.

  The drive came with no sntructions.  If a jumper PIN must be changed?  The CD is the problem?

• 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.

• 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".

• Second hard drive on my DV7-4083 cl

• Second hard drive for the dv7 - 7047cl

  Can a second hard drive be added to the dv7 - 7047cl?

  (It is standard drive is a 1 TB of HARD drive).

  If so, how?

  Thank you!

  Hi Mike,.

  You are welcome

  There should be no problem with Bios recognizing the 2nd HARD drive, however it may not appear in Windows (under the Start Menu, computer) until the drive has been formatted.

  You can format the second HDD as follows.

  Hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type compmgmt.msc , and then press ENTER.  Click disk management in the left pane and let readers load upward.  Right-click on your new HARD drive and select Format to start the wizard.  Windows 7 will affect a Volume label so if your happy with it, just leave the default.  File system is NTFS.  Allocation unit size must be left by default.  Select the option to perform a quick format if it is not already done.  Leave all the other default settings, and then click Ok, and then Ok to start the process.

  Once this done, your new HARD disk should now appear when you look under the computer.

  Kind regards
