• Install WD Black2 Dual Drive on a Pavilion dv6t-7000

  Hello

  I recently bought a new internal hard drive for my HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC and have some difficulties to install the drivers for it. I bought a Western Digital Black2 Dual disc, which is a hybrid disk with 120 GB SSD and 1 TB of HARD drive, but I can't access the 1 TB because the installer for WD drivers keeps returning an error code.

  After much digging, I found documentation of the WD site that States the particualr error I received was due to one) the SATA mode to RAID in the BIOS, or b) an Intel driver a RAID reporting configuration. I can not check the BIOS settings myself, because the tab in the BIOS for this is hidden and locked down due to the fact that I'm working on a laptop of HP (I found answers on the forums for models with slightly different laptop computer that reported the AHCI is the default SATA for HP laptops) (, but unable to verify for my particular model). However, I was able to find an Intel driver that can cause the problem in the Device Manager. It is listed under 'Storage controllers' and is called 'Intel(r) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID Controller '. When you contact the service customer of WD, the representative has tried to help me change this default Microsoft Inbox Driver by following the process: (right click > update driver software > Browse my computer... > choose from the list of device drivers). Unfortunately, it was not useful because the afforementioned Intel driver is the only one available. I was a bit puzzled by that because I installed windows 7 from scratch, only adding the drivers from the HP site needed to establish a wireless connection to download the installation of WD software.

  So basically I'm looking for help in these areas: a) to determine the particular my laptop model SATA mode, b) to understand why I have the default Microsoft Inbox Driver, c) installation of the Microsoft Inbox Driver default value or a Variant that works with AHCI, and/or d) any other course of action I could take additional troubleshooting.

  Hard disk: Western Digital Black2 Dual Drive

  Error: A bad SATA mode in the BIOS or reported by the Intel driver

  The only thing I can't do is change the BIOS, because it's very limited opt for Setup on the disks.

  I contacted WD without a bit of luck.

  Proberly need to talk to the seller of this problem, but he said that it is compatible with all PCs, not excluded,

  Yes. I read that and frowned. I'll be back without a doubt it.  People have experienced a similar problem with the desktop and hybrid hard drives.

• I lost my CD/DVD (dual drive) from Device Manager on my HP Presario using Win Vista Serv Pac 2 and IE 9.

  Recently, I replaced my hard drive of my laptop HP Presario DV 9718 with Windows Vista. It is a 4 year old laptop, but it's always a good computer. I finished all downloads for updating Windows (some 200 + GB) as well as 2 Pac Serv and IE 9. I lost my CD/DVD (dual drive) and is therefore no longer in Device Manager. Help! My system works great and I downloaded through my print online from HP.com software to complete my installation to work around the CD/DVD missing which prevernted me from the CD of the software running on my printer in my CD/DVD drive. I know it is a malfunction probably related to updates of Windows not supporting the manufacturer of my CD/DVD drive, because it can be manufactured by another company or something to that effect. Anyone have this problem and can guide me through the fix for this problem so I can go in my life and enjoy my Presario completely once more?

• Best Dual Drive Setup Configuration

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Macbook Pro mid 2012 and I just installed a (840 Evo Samsung 250 GB) SSD in the connector sata main and moved the previous 500 GB HDD to the optical Bay.

  How can I move files and say Dropbox and other records of large files only for work on the HARD drive and keep only the Mac OS x and some software on the SSD? It is with a terminal command should?

  Given that the SSD is an exact clone of the HARD drive, sometimes it's even a little confussing where I am currently working on.  Should I make a folder named HARD drive with direct access to the office for?

  Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

• Portable Dual Drive Setup with SSD

  I would like to get an opinion on what configuration would give me the best return on my laptop.

  I have a Dell Studio 17.  It has two drive bays.  Processor quad core and 8 GB ram.

  I'll reinstall the OS (Win 7 Ultimate).

  I have two hard drives.  First, a 250gig Kingston Solid State Drive.  Two, a w/16meg cache 750gig Seagate 7200 RPM.

  I am using the 250gig for OS and 750 for the data.

  So here's my question, I would install CS5 on the C drive (solid state) because it is faster?  and where would be the best place to put the file media and zero?

  I can put it all on C is that it is an SSD and much faster, but then I'm only using a variable speed drive.  Or should I it split and use two speed variators.  Of course, I guess that Dell uses only a speed for both drives control in which it is a mute point.  But I do know this for you.

  In any case, open to all opinions.  Including installing the OS on the slower drive more, maybe using some partitions, leaving the 250 GB Solid State drive CS5.

  Thank you

  I install the operating system and programs on the SSD, then place your support (and in this case, project & Scratch disks) on your D:\. First, almost all the Adobe programs really, really want to be installed on C:\. The goal is to divide the I/O load, as much as you can. That's why most recommend a HDD 3 x configuration, where C:\ is OS and programs, D:\ Projects and scratch the disks, then E:\ media. As you have only a 2 x, then a compromise will be necessary. The program will probably not benefit too from the SSD, but the operating system will be, especially at the start.

  While having media and projects (more than scratch disks) on a drive unique HARD is not the ultimate, I do when I need to migrate projects between computers, and that's fine - but not the ultimate performance.

  Good luck

• Impossible to edit documents after installing AVG

  I have a Toshiba laptop dual drive, which has been recntly upgrade Vista to Windows 7. Windows 7 has taken over most of my C drive, so I had to put programs on the other disk of data E. The other day I bought AVG Antivirus 2011 on my computer (e data drive). Since then, even after taking off avg, I can't edit Office Word or OpenOffice documents. It seems to do on my external drive (which I added it) as well as of the moment. Its strange since she started as soon as I have used AVG. Any suggestions would be what is the problem? How it can be solved.

  I really need help because my computer seems to be slowly dying! Tried to get in touch with AVG but they seem to simply ignore the problem right now.

  Thanks for any help,

  Hey Buddy,

  > Its strange since she started as soon as I have used AVG.
  In this case I would contact AVG directly if they can say something about it or if it s a known issue. I've never heard of it but AVG to know what to do now.

  I put t know what laptop you have but I'm pretty sure it s a software problem and it seems to be related to AVG

• Thunderbolt external HDD

  Working with AVCHD Multicam with FCPX on an iMac and MacPro I will have a few slowdowns beachball using an external WD Dual Drive Thunderbolt RAID 0 and after several tests and interviews with tech to Apple and B & H have determined that the increase in the number of disks in the external drive or SSD will solve the problem.

  My current config gives me end 248 MB/s read/write speed and the internal SSD OS X drive provides 750 to 937 MB/s as a single drive.  Of course, I'd love to have a lightning strike unique external delivery accelerates as the SSD internal, but from what I read there is nothing available like that.  So, I am reaching the community to help them tell me what they use and how to reduce costs while increasing speed (is not supposed to be an oxymoron) :-)

  I'm ok with the multiple disc cases, prefer mini (2.5 ") if possible at a reasonable cost, if not 3.5" 7200 rpm disks and I am totally OK with building my own through the purchase of an external to and seagate drive HARD $50 a piece.

  500 - 6f00 desirable MB/s in a mini SSD configuration or a mini disk first or rotating 3.5 "

  Most desirable would be 750 MB/s or more.

  THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR HELP :-)

  Just out of curiosity, you work with native AVCHD or in proxy mode? Working in the proxy, I can have multiple streams of video without any serious problem on my MBP of 3 year and a double RAID drive.

• HP Pavilion DV6 1225ee: Upgrade Pavilion dv6 hard

  Hello

  In fact, I want to spend my hard drive laptop, but before that I would like to know if my laptop support SATA III or not?
  I want to install this model: Western Digital Black 2 Mobile 2.5 inch dual drives - 1 TB HDD + 120 GB SSD
  It's the hybrid hard drive and work with SATA III (6 Gb/s).

  My laptop model: HP Pavilion DV6 1225ee

  Can you please help me in this case?

  Thank you

  Your laptop uses an Intel ICH9 Southbridge chip, which is capable of operation SATAII (300MB\s).

  You can still use SATA600 HDDs, but they will be compatible down and don't use the SATA specification of your laptop sata controllers motherboard are capable.

  Hybrid disk hard mobile compatibility with your laptop is unknown. Most people upgrade laptops equipped with SSD and existing hard drives.  You can avoid the uncertainty factor by installing a legacy hard drive or an SSD.

• Compatibility between Inspiron 15R N5010 (5010-7015) and black WD ^ 2 (WD1001X06XDTL) double disc 2.5 "

  Hello

  I own a Dell Inspiron 15R N5010 (5010-7015) / i5 / 4 GB RAM / 320 HARD drive and I am interested in the internal hard drive of the upgrade of the series dual drive WD (Black ^ 2 - WD1001X06XDTL).

  The system supports SATA2 and a variety of capabilities between 160 GB and 640 GB only for 320 GB and 500 GB at 7200 RPM and 5400 RPM / min according to the manual.

  Is it possible that I could upgrade to a WD Black2, or I will face compatibility problems?

  The specific model (N5010) supports this technology? The list only I could find was this one: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11024/~/wd-black%C2%B2-dual-drive-computer-compatibility-list

  If not, are there any other alternatives for a hard drive upgrade [i.e. Seagate 1 TB computer laptop SSHD (STBD1000400)] which would have full compatibility?

  As you can see I'm looking for something more closely a SSD, but not an SSD.

  The black2 is essentially a 120G SSD for the system - which IS supported by your model.  The hard drive is not even considered by the hardware of the system - it is managed by a pilot who is in charge (that's why the Black2 depends on the OS).  Windows accesses the HDD while software - NOT directly by the system.
