Pavilion HPE 180 t, added third HD on Bay 4 in 5.25 SATA but win7 sees it as a DVD.

I added the third hard drive to my Pavilion HPE 180 t on 3 SATA 5.25 Bay but win7 sees it as a DVD.  How can I do recognize this feature added as a third hard drive?  I have two HD in the bays of HD SATA 1 and 2 for RAID 0.

Thanks for anyone who can help.

Hello

What is the make and model of drive you added? You you directly connected the hard drive the sata motherboard 3 or 4 port? 4 indicates it the title, but the post 3.  HP cables usually the DVD/CD drive and the motherboard 3 sata port.

Boot in the bios (F10 at startup). The bios sees the new hard drive? If not, then the drive is DOA or there is a power problem.

If the bios recognizes the new hard like a hard drive, then try the suggestion below.

Go to--> disk management computer management and expand the screen entirely.  How many hard drives you see?  Post a picture of this screen.

If the new drive has never been initialized, then you'll need to format/initialize it by right mouse clicking on the new drive and then format/initialize and assign a drive letter.

  • Pavilion HPE-180 t: Compatible replacement hard drive

    My Pavilion Elite HPE-180 t (p/n: BN515AV #ABA) began to crash randomly.  Software support tells me the HD is a failure.  Error code: BIOHD-2

    The HD which came installed is a HITACHI HDS721010C.  Operating system is Windows 7 (64-bit)

    I did not rush the hardware changes to the computer with the exception of a system recovery to factory specifications.

    Shifter2k4, welcome to the forum.

    The main thing is to buy a hard drive that is the same size or larger than the failed drive.  This ensures that the recovery of the system will work.  I like the Western Digital drives.  If you want to speed up your computer, you could buy an SSD.  If you go this way, you will need at least 160 GB.  I love the Samsung SSD drives.

  • HP Pavilion HPE h8-1375ea: adding PART 3 ports for HP Pavilion.

    I plan to change the noisy (continually chirruping) 3 TB Hitachi HARD drive mounted in series in my system and install two 480/500 GB SSD - probably of Sandisk or Kingston.  One will be the master (operating system and data) the other will purely be a weekly "clone" of the master.

    The mobo in my bench is the Formosa Pegatron, which, as far as I can see, only has SATA 2 ports equipped.  For most of the speed the SSD, I need use 3 SATA 6GBs.

    Can anyone advise as to the best, reasonable price, good performance SATA 3, 4 ports (I might consider 2 port) controller card PCI-e which fits into my system.  I didn't need RAID or Duo Hyper.

    Thank you very much.

    Ken.

    Hi Ken,

    I don't know what you mean by adding 3 SATA ports.  The Formosa motherboard has six SATA ports.

    HP never acknowledged the documentation that indicates that grouped four SATA ports are 3.0 or 6.0 GB/s. However, the Z75 chipset should be able to support up to six SATA III ports.  If you have a processor of IVY bridge, then you should be able to test the port speed using a SATA III HD or SSD.

  • Pavilion Elite HPE-180 t: Pavilion HPE-180 t update video card

    Hi all -

    I'm hoping to get an official word on the question of whether my machine (mentioned in the topic) is able to handle a graphics card, I just picked up.  The port seems compatible and there seems to be room, but I'd be more comfortable upgrading if somebody here has estimated that the hardware is compatible.

    The map I picked up is a Radeon R7 - 260 x - CDF.  If you do not feel that would work, is it a good (affordable) map out there that I could pick up that will be?  Thank you!

    Hello

    Check with the manufacturer of graphics cards specific and find out if the video BIOS on the card will work with a PC that uses a legacy BIOS.

    Find out what the return policy is before you buy.

  • Pavilion Elite HPE-180 t, windows 7 64 bit started to stop the sleep mode.

    Pavilion Elite HPE-180 t, windows 7 64 bit began to stop in the past few weeks.  It seems to happen from the sleep mode.  I leave the computer for more than 20 minutes, and when I come back, it is turned off.  When I start again, I have an error message and be able to start in safe mode.  I start in normal mode and I get an error "windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown" without solution.  I also see an action center say error - consider sending additional information about a problem with the ATI display driver (graphics card is ATI Radeon HD5450 1 GB).  When I click for the solution, says that this solution could not be downloaded.  I've updated my drivers.  I haven't added a new hardware or software.

    Thanks HardBeatZ (HP).

    I did as you suggested and I had to uninstall several times because the device picked up previous ATI vs the generic drivers.  In any case it still stop with the blue screen of death when waking from sleep mode.   Then I went back and installed the latest graphics driver from the HP site for my system. I still had a few stops.

    Then I went through all my devices and checked for latest drivers.  All said that the best version is already installed.  Then I noticed that my HP bt500 bluetooth USB 2.0 adapter had only a driver available for windows 7 32 bit (I have installed 64-bit).  I used a keyboard and bluetooth mouse.   So I unplugged the adapter and have resorted to the USB keyboard and mouse and closures of blue screen stopped.  It seems that the network card was originally wake up from its sleep.  I also disabled the reactivation of LAN in the properties of the network adapter device.

  • Replace the HARD drive in the new Pavilion Elite HPE-180 t.

    I'm not a professional computer, but after 30 years of use, the upgrade and repair PC home and the office, I'm embarrassed to post this thread - but here goes.  I took delivery of a few days ago the new highest indicated HP computer model in the topic of this thread.  The new computer is beautiful and everything worked perfectly from the start.  I decided after a few days to check, everything was fine and proceeded to a few pieces of hardware to transfer from my old Dell (a fairly new 1 t WD SATA HDD on which coied got a lot of data from the former count and a new BD/DVD ROM SATA optical drive).  Everything was fine once I figured out how to get these two drives in the enclosure waterproof on the new computer, but all reconnecting the SATA cable on the main came with the computer HARD disk, I broke up some pins on the HARD drive that made it of course useless SATA port.  I of course take full responsibility and do not wish to get involved with HP technical support to replace the disc - and frankly, I prefer not to put another HDD Seagate support because I prefer a 1 t Cavier Black SATA WD which I believe is one of the most reliable RESEARCH on the market right now, and I can buy it for around $200 instead of the $400 I uknderstand fresh HP for the same size of Seagate replacement.

    Here's my question, can I just buy a new HDD WD and install it with my own final Win 7 x 64 without the HP recovery disks (they did not come with the new computer, and I had not yet created my own recovery disc).  Frankly I'd rather have a completely clean install of my Win 7 OS without the HP partition and other HP software on the HARD disk.  Is this possible or HP has some sort of identity with their software which must correspond with the BIOS or something like this?  REALLY, I don't want to return the computer to HP to get called into service because I just started a small business that involves a lot of video editing and I can't be without the computer for weeks, while HP is concerned with him (I've read the horror stories about the high cost of the repairs and the long repair time but I do not wish to keep my warranty if possible).

    I've had a few confusing issues with my internet connection for a few weeks now:

    My computer seems to detect wifi networks (they appear in the Network Manager), but fails to connect because of an unknown factor.

    Basic troubleshooting informed me that wifi wasn't the issue (other devices could connect to) and it turns out that my computer could sometimes reconnect by mmee after a few hours (weird right?)

    This time it does not resolve itself. I tried to update my WLAN card through my laptop adapter, so the drivers via a USB key. Nothing worked (maybe bad drivers?) I've tried a few)

    My network card is a mini Broadcom 802.11n using magnetic antennas of the card. (youd cloth found in a laptop essentially...) I have little or no knowledge more than I could translate from the web on this kind of hard\software. I am at a loss.

    [Also, I've seen a few threads recommending the driver intel update of software, but it needs a connection to work its magic...]

    In addition, in the support page "HP Desktop PCs - the upgrade memory (RAM)" (generic - non-specific to any model) (http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-HPE-h8-Desktop-PC-series/5258496/model/5261720/docum, under "Verification of the quantity of memory can be added to your computer model", it says "to find the amount of memory per slot, divide the maximum amount of memory that the computer can hold by the number of memory locations of the motherboard.

    When I check the options of 'Memory' on www.crucial .com, the only 16 GB option it gives is 8GBx2.  Can I do trust what is Crucial says about it (which seems to contradict what the HP options & specifications page)?  I think that the answer is Yes - that HP doesn't care. and options page is just saying how it would come if I had ordered with maxed out at 16 GB RAM - but thought I would ask before ordering memory.

    Thank you for responding to this.

    I dug a little further on the Crucial site, and it seems that the 8GBx2 actually works:

    And here's the review of one of the examiners:

    The reason, I was a little skeptical about what the HP standard sheet said for the computer I had before this one, HP said a certain maximum size of RAM (below what the operating system should be able to manage).  There was a post on the HP forums who said you could use the larger RAM size (until the operating system can manage) in this model computer.  I tried and it worked fine.

  • Connect the second VGA monitor to Pavilion HPE

    Hello

    I have a Pavilion HPE h8-1114 PC, that has a DVI and HDMI monitor port. I have a VGA monitor connected to the DVI port with an adapter. I have a second VGA monitor, I want to connect, but I understand that it cannot be connected to the HDMI port. Are there other options besides buying a HDMI monitor? Can I use one of the covered ports which I think is VGA? (I guess not.) Can I add a second graphics card with a VGA port and use both screens? (I saw on another post that adding another graphics card could disable the existing card). Can I opt for a card that supports two VGA or DVI ports?

    Thank you!

    In addition what erico said, there are other options. You can use a video-to-USB adapter of EVGA UV plus + 19 or you can add a x 1 PCIe graphics card. If with a PCIe x 1, using a card Nvidia... results will be the best in this way.

  • HP Pavilion HPE 1090 t: could someone help me please... Desktop HP Pavilion HPE h8-1090 t CTO - PSU replacement/compatibiliy

    I just bought a new power supply (Corsair CS650M) because someone has suggested that it would be a good replacement power supply for my HP model which is HP Pavilion HPE 1090 t.   I need to know if this Corsair works and is compatible with my system, because something is not working with him directly or I did something wrong.    This is my first install and when it comes to the ins and outs of power amplification entry & exit and amperages I get so confused about this stuff.   But I think I took all the pluged connection correctly, at least when I re-plugin my old PSU after the installation to fail, I had the PC working again, what made me give confidence that I did the Corsair install correctly.  But what happens is after the installation of the unit from Corsair and turn the system he clicked power off after about 10 seconds or more and then restarted after a few seconds, then stopped again and turns off after another 10 to 15 seconds, and nothing would come up on top of the screen no more.   The first time I did the research what PSU would be compatible, I was getting conflicting results with a few places on the net saying that the majority of the HP out there (excluding some models such as the slimline) could be replaced by different manufacturers and higher power PSU, while other places I looked different.   Even the person who recommended me this power supply said in his post that he installed a Corsair HX650 model in its HP PC, and it worked very well for him.  Now, after the failure of the installation for the next few days, I did a lot more research and when I went on the site of HP and looked up the specifications of the model my PC I noticed under the power supply section, he had a heading that says "must select one of the following options" (in fact most of the different sections shows that the title too) and then he showed only two options 460W and 600W.  Then he asked me if it's the only option I get with my model.  And then I looked at my model number HP on the HP PartSurfer and under the section of the PSU, it also registers only 460W and 600W.   So who is?   I have to stay with only these options two HP or can I get a power supply with a higher power a bit then 600W from a different manufacturer that is what I want.    If I can get something that is compatible other than the options listed HP please let me know, or if this Corsair should work someone please let me know.   I need to return it otherwise.    My specs are below.

    Although there is a limit to the amount of power that is needed to power your computer, it uses only the amount of power it takes to power the computer correctly.  The extra power is kept in reserve for the purposes of art.  Thus, you cannot really bad the computer with extra power or amperage.  You can sleep on this point.

    Thank you very much for your quick response, I wasn't getting anyone to answer the previous post.

    If your saying these HP spare parts are not exclusive to the company?  Some connectors may be owners, but most are not.

    It should work then?  Yes.  I've recommended hundreds of the PSU in the years I've been helping on the Forums; in fact since about 2002.

    How about the input/output & amperages of note that I registered?  As I understand not all this jargon, I want to assure you that I have / using correct notation for my system.  I don't want to fry one of my compondents with to much amperage.   Well, either I did something wrong installing or this power supply is a dud then.  Read my explanation at the top of the page.

    As I said before I pretty sure I had all the right connections, what can you tell me if it sounds right for you.  I have pluged in both connectors wired on the motherboard which were the main ATX 24pin power connector and the EPS/ATX12V 8 pin which I shared and pluged a piece of the cable labeled 'CPU' in slot 4 pins on the montherboard labeled ATX CPU.  Regarding the other split 4 pads, I don't see anywhere, it could be pluged into the motherboard.  If two 4-pin connectors were even marked, it should be good.  However, you can try to plug the other 4 pin instead of this, just to make sure that the right pair is connected to the processor power.

    My AMD Radeon HD 6570 1 GB graphics card is the type that is fed through the MB so I didn't use any of the PCI-E cables 6-8 poles.  It is very good.

    And so the only thing I had left that I have pluged the compondents of Sata cables that was my Bluray burner, my 2 TB hard drive and my USB 3.0 card.  They are very frank.

    Yet once again being installation of hardware in my system let me ask hopefully not a stupid question, but when you connect compondents Sata cable, you must have the plug-in in a particular order of wiring compondent or how do you?  I don't check the specifications of your power supply, but I think most of them have a single 12V rail.  If this is the case, you don't have to connect them to any order.  If there are two rails, it is best to divide the power of each rail.

    On my old PSU, it has an extension cable SATA used to connent card USB 3.0 which is pretty tightly squeezed between graphics card and sound card, so I guess I could use the extension cable with the new PSU POWER Sata wiring without any compatibility also publishes, right?  This should be no problem I can think of at this point.

    Thanks again for your help, I'll probably will try and plug it once more and see if I can make it work.  If this does not work for now, I strongly suggest that you contact Technical Support of Corsair for help.  They are the experts on their products and grab any errors that we do.  It is very difficult to diagnose a problem by far.  When you have done with this project, you will no longer be the excuss you are a novice.

  • Mode two-channel for HP - Pavilion HPE - h8-1234

    Hello world.

    (Online) has just bought a HP - Pavilion HPE - h8-1234 that comes with 10G of RAM.

    A saleswoman said it has 4 DIMM slots and one is open, so I think it has 2 x 4 and 1 x 2 G DIMMS.

    I would add 6-8 Gig RAM more, but want to ensure that it is running in Dual channel mode after I do the upgrade.

    Can I add a 8 G DIMMS in the open location, or I have to install 2 x 4 G DIMM and remove G 1 x 2 DIMM?

    Or maybe I should consider adding modules DIMM 2 x 8 G and remove the G 1 x 2 DIMM.

    I do a lot of Photoshop work, and my old computer would go with 4 GB of RAM.

    Thank you

This is where the nuts and bolts to install properly the memory is explained. Page 6 is a continuation of the two-channel section.  Basically, he says, on most of the Intel and the latest AMD motherboards... Place the matching pairs of memory in dealing with the same color (XMM1 and XMM3, XMM2 and XMM4 on these systems). On older AMD motherboards... Place the matching pairs of memory in dealing with the same color (XMM1 and XMM2 and XMM3 XMM4 on these systems). There are some rare exceptions to this rule.

    So, on your system, it should be a matching pair in 1 & 3 and 2 & 4 another pair... If you buy a pair of DIMMs to 4 GB, install them in 1/3 or 2/4 and place the pair of original 4 GB DIMMs in the remaining slots (make sure that the original DIMMS are a pair).  If you buy a pair of DIMMs of 8 GB, install them in 1/3 and place the pair of original 4 GB DIMMs in the remaining slots (make sure that the original DIMMS are a pair).

    Note: If the pair 4 GB of origin is not a game, the system will work in single channel mode. If you mix an original 4 GB and a new 4 GB, the system will run in single channel mode.
