  Thank you

  Not in the way you probably do. Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See Page 50. Unlike the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv7, Pavilion 17 has that a single hard drive Bay. The only way to add a second hard drive is to remove the DVD (optical drive) and insert a DVD to the hard drive bay adapter. The manual shows how to remove the DVD player and you can buy the adapter at amazon.com or jacobsparts.com. Note that this is a 9.5 mm thick disc, not a 12.7 mm. Both types are available. I do not recommend the adapter DVD player solution because you lose the use of the optical drive, and also because the interface of optical drive is usually not as fast as the main hard drive interface. Always fast enough for simple storage and you can run a video of her, but you do not want to edit the video of this disc, for example.

  If you decide to go the route of adapter DVD I would buy a large capacity 5400 RPM SATA 2.5 inches wide and drive hard thickness 9.5 mm. No sense in buying a reader more expensive high-performance.

• AG3-605-UR1C supports a second internal hard drive?

  I would add a second internal hard drive of my AG3-605-UR1C. Is this possible?

  If it's important, the player that I'm considering is Seagate Desktop HDDSATA.

  Thanks in advance for the answer.

  your PC has 4 SATA ports on the motherboard, so if you have 1 HDD and 1DVD, you have 2 spare SATA ports to be used, and there is too much room on the chassis.

• Re: How can I add a second internal hard drive to a Satellite Pro P200?

  I have a Satellite Pro P200 with a single internal hard drive. There is a second Bay in the computer of another internal hard drive, but I couldn't find any information about it. There is enough space for a 2.5 "SATA but I do not see a connector.

  I contacted Toshiba Dutch customer service who said that it was official policy not to provide any information on a second internal drive. They also said that they would not provide parts to make it possible.

  Can anyone provide more information?

  Hello!

  I think that if there is no connector you cannot add a second HDD.
  It of Nice to have a second Bay, but it's nothing without a connector.

  Good bye

• Upgrade Vista to Windows 7, files using the second internal hard drive and Windows Easy Transfer.

  I have a desktop pc with 2 internal hard drives.  A hard drive has the BONE and the second hard disk is a separate partition.  (I do not combine hard drives using RAID.)  If I upgrade Vista to Windows 7, the upgrade will be to reformat hard disks or just a hard drive with the operating system?  Should I remove the second hard disk of the computer just to be sure?  The second hard drive must be reformatted for use with Windows 7?

  Thank you.

  You must install the upgrade in the Vista operating system.

• Help! I can't import again second internal hard drive.

  Lightroom doesn't let me import photos on my new internal hard drive. It lists only the OS (c :) and don't let me no change to my new hard drive (b).  What should I do?

  

  I suggest that you try to assign a different drive letter, one that is drive D or higher. I think Lightroom is still old-fashioned and considers the player B must be a disk.

• Satellite Pro P200 - 1KE Vista loses contact with the second internal HARD drive

  Vista Business SP2. I have a Satellite Pro P200-1KE, with two 160 GB drives: a Hitachi configured as C: (operating system, programs, etc.) and E: (data, other programs). The second is a Toshiba MK1637GSX. This little about it and nothing of any importance and is normally configured as d. Unfortunately this hard drive has now become invisible to Vista, although it is still recognized by BIOS and Device Manager. In managing computer does not appear in the list in the upper pane, it comes without a letter from reader below. I have tried everything I know to get recognized, including the following:
  (In no particular order):

  * Remove computer - managed, reset as a single Volume: it always fails
  * Reformat to NTFS using Linux GParted or utility disk Linux (via a USB stick with Linux ice Peppermint on that nerd), sometimes combined with the restoration of the system - it works, but only for a single session. She always disappears again when you restart
  * Remove the driver from Device Manager and pointing plug-and-play with Windows System 32 and Windows Update - which seems to return the driver - but does not recognized disk, unfortunately
  * Meanwhile, throughout all this, Vista insists on finding a driver for "unknown device" that she sometimes found and (allegedly) installs and sometimes find one fails to install.

  Bah!

  Anyone know anything else I can try - preferably without having to reinstall the entire operating system, or run the risk of using Toshiba Hardware Setup that does not seem to come with all the instructions and enigmatic, who wonder if I want to delete stuff 'selected', without showing me what kind of things I am alleged to have selected for removal!

  Best

  If this second HDD is not so important to try to start the original installation disk Microsoft (Vista or Win7) to see if the second HDD will be recognized for the installation procedure.
  You can also try to install Win7 on this second HDD to see if the installation is correctly finalized. Later, you can check if you can start the second HARD drive preinstalled OS.

  Test just to see if this problem is related to Vista only.

• New installation of Windows 7 will not identify the second internal hard drive

  Attempted recently to upgrade a computer running the SP3 of XP to Windows 7.  Bought the new FULL version of 7.
  Have two 1 t Seagate Barracuda SATA drives on board; Operating system in partition 1 of disk C:. second disc to store data only.

  Several unsuccessful attempts to install 7, but with helpful suggestions, others on this forum, (i.e., update of the BIOS, re-formatting drive C to do a clean install, etc.) finally managed to a successful installation.

  All right, except that it does not find my second hard drive.  I have the disks attached ports SATA 1 & 2, but the system reads them so much as the C: drive.  The second disc appears in the BIOS Setup and Explorer as just the C: drive.

  Tried to change the SATA port for second drive to 3 and 4 with the same result.  It always appears as the C: drive.

  How can I get the systΦme can recognize the drive, so it can be assigned to a drive letter and I can access?  I suspect that the reformatting of the first disc for installation probably erased some boot sector/configuration info.

  A side issue: before attempting to upgrade to XP, I backed up my "Documents and Settings" on an external drive.  Now that XP is passed to the computer, can I continue to use Windows Easy Transfer to retrieve all my settings and info from the program, or who's going to screw me up?

  Check if the hard drive is assigned to a drive letter in disk management.

  Click Start, right click on computer

  Click on management of

  Expand disk management

  Select your external hard drive if its posted here

  Make a right click paths and change drive letter

  Restart your computer, open the computer in the start menu and see if it shows then.

• Pavilion N0X12AV 550-150qe: 550-150qe pavilion N0X12AV model add extra internal hard drive

  The motherboard (pegatron s memphis) there the additional SATA card and power supply (300 watt) has the ability to add something like a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 HD? I called support and was tossed to 4 people and they could not answer these questions. And I guess I should ask if there's a location to attach the HD is not a coward. I have two of these drives and would love to put them to use as a HDD backup, if possible. I am aware that I can as external hard drive via USB kit. Thank you, Mike.

  Hello

  You should be able to add a HDD 2.5 "or a SSD to your PC.  See the image below.

• Pavilion a6544f does not recognize SATA hard drive

  I'm running Vista on this machine and added a second internal hard drive: a WD Caviar 1 TB GB. I connected the SATA cable to the SATA connector to blue color on the motherboard (Benicia-GL8E) and had to get a 4 pin to SATA power plug on the power cable.

  For some reason the drive does not appear in my computer. I double checked connections and seem not to be tight. I installed WD Data Lifeguard (supplied with the HD) and he can't seem to mfind player either.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance.

  In fact, I solved the situation by updating the BIOS on the HP support site. I've updated everything I could - firmware and everything - wheile I was there, and then the disc was recognized. Problem solved! Thanks for the suggestions.

• Request help second addition, internal hard drive [HP Pavilion Elite e9290f]

  Hello

  Quick question here. I am a music producer and you can always use a ton of extra space as some of my projects are 17 to 20 GB in size. My HP e9290f comes with a stock of 1 TB Seagate (I think) internal hard drive. I intend to add this DeckStar HGST hard 4 TB (7200 RPM)

  However, I am not sure, if this drive is compatible with my computer. I talked about the upgrade & maintenance manual but inside, he tells me only how to replace the current internal hard drive. The addition of this amount of space external hard drive is not an option since all my ports are used by external hard drive! Can anyone shed light on what tools I need exactly to connect this HD extra 4TB? I would appreciate your answers, because time is of the essence

  HP Pavilion Elite e9290f | Intel Core i7 920 2.67 GHz | Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit Edition. 20 GB OF DDR3 SDRAM MEMORY | 1 TB of HDD at 7200 RPM.

  Hello

  I have not tested a HDD 4 TB on the motherboard of truckee. In theory, it should work as a data reader set shaped like a GPT disk.

  Another option if you don't want to take the risk is to install two hard drives of 2 TB. The one in the location empty in the cage from the hard drive and another in the optical drive Bay (if open) second.  You will need one 3.5 "to 5.25" adapter if you use the optical Bay.

  Check on the return policy for the 4 TB harddrive and see if your can return/exchange it if it doesn't work.  Kit retail for Hitachi 4TB has an optional driver if the motherboard of your PC will not format the drive completely outside up to 4 TB.
