Problems after installing the second SATA drive in Windows 7

I just install a second SATA hard drive in Windows 7. Currently, I use only a processor AMD Athlon X 2 4800 with 3 GB of RAM, Windows 7 64 - bit, installed on a 400 GB Samsung SATA drive and have two (a pioneer and a Liteon) DVD burners.

System worked fine until I put in the new drive. Previously, I had hung as such discs: SATA1 was the existing 400Go drive, SATA2 and 3 were two DVD burners (don't ask me why, I have 2, will remove one of them, if that's the problem).

Installed the new HARD in the SATA4 drive. Booted up, saw the new drive in the BIOS, but Windows does not see it until I went to disk management, a drive letter assigned and formatted etc. Also, I swapped the drive letters so I had all of the HARD drive (I have my 400 GB split into two readers via the partition) and C: D: E: F: and G:, DVD players.

Started, began to transfer data from D: to the new E:, and Windows crashes. No message error, everything freezes. Need to reset, and then allow Windows to check for errors etc. Return to Windows, same case again. I swapped the SATA cables so that SATA1 and 2 are the HARD drives and SATA3 and 4 are DVD players. Reboot, same case.

What I am doing wrong? Or what should I do? I don't even have to start the transfer of data I just let WIndows running for 2 minutes and it automatically hangs again.

If someone could help me as soon as POSSIBLE please, it would be fantastic. Thank you!

I've been in contact with the provider, and Yes, that will take it back for Exchange. They gave me some ideas to try first, I'm going to do tonight; They asked me to check if the HARD disk is running on series complete ATA (SATA) mode and to enable the DMA if he asks me to. Otherwise, they said, try the fail-safe mode. Don't know if any of them are currently enabled etc but will find tonight.

All else fails, I take that back! Simply means a 3 hours trip to Melbourne to make...

Thanks again guys for your help.

Michael.

    Hello

    You need two cables, one is a sata cable:

    http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/30305659/706331346/STARTech-com-6in-SATA-to-right-angle-SATA-serial-ATA-cable-female-SATA-female-SATA-6-inch-red/ListingDetails.html?_%24JA=TSID:13315% 7Ccat: 30305659% 7Cprd: 30305659 & kw = {keyword}

    This cable is only for data and connect the hard drive to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

    The other cable is energy:

    http://www.itpartsdirect.com/STARTech-15-24cm-4-pin-Molex-to-SATA-power-cable-adaptor.html

    It connects the hard drive to the PSU.

    You can also buy a combo like this cable:

    http://www.Amazon.co.UK/DP/B00064GBT4/?tag=hydra0b-21&hvadid=9550951989&ref=asc_df_B00064GBT4

    All you have to do is to connect the hard drive and that's it. Make sure that the main drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are the numbers 1, 2, 3...)

    You might also consider adding more RAM. 2 places I've seen recommended more to buy reliable RAM are below. I have bought RAM several times to other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and the service. They have instructions online on how to replace the RAM.

  • Problem after installing the new drive on Pavillion G6-2320

    The original hard drive on my old book of 8 Windows Pavillion G6-2320 3 months crashed and I sent to HP and got the replacement of the hard drive (laptop still under warranty). They gave me support online printing that I just need to install it in the laptop and would not need the disc to install the operating system. (I had originally bought my own replacement hard drive and had error messages so chatted with online support who took care of the hard drive replacement confirmed that indeed one supplied with the laptop has been damaged)

    Hello

    Your PC has a hard drive cage which will host two disks.  This how-to - HP document from removing a hard drive will show you the process to remove the hard drive cage.

    If you want to continue using the Expansion Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 3.5" adapter support. NewEgg.com would bring such a support.  You also need a SATA data cable.  This how-to - HP article will give you an idea on how to use Expansion with a 5.25 device Bay ".  Check by the optical drinve for a spare SATA power connector.  If it is not available, then you will need to use a SATA power splitter.

  • HP EliteBook 8440p: Best boot option after installing the new hard drive and put to memory.

    I just installed the new hard drive for my laptop and will get the cards of two memory installed tomorrow. I would like advice on what would be the best option to start when the laptop for the first time I'm on fire.

    I have the original Windows HP recovery disk came with the computer.

    I also have a recovery disc and a system image on disks created with Macrium Reflect two days ago.

    I also have a recovery disc and a system image is created on an external hard drive Seagate two days ago. (I've read mixed reviews on these is currently working as a media of rescue with Win7 Pro).

    I guess if I use the HP recovery disc I would be then just use any system image I prefer, without the recovery disk. Anyone know if it makes a difference at all which method to use?

    bozzle73

    My recommendation would be to restore using the image of MR (Macrium Reflect) you did.

    But then, I used Mr. on all my PCs for years and am a big fan - having had it Miss ever in the years and years of use.

    You will need boot from the boot of MR media (you did that right) and, if you photographed all the required partitions for the operating system, restore it on the new drive should take a few minutes, and when this is done, you reboot and everything should be OK.

    Good luck

  • Problem after installing the driver VGA for HP Pavilion 1212TX g4

    Hello. I just bought a new HP Pavilion 1212TX g4.

    I install Win7 Ultimate Pro in it and no problems found. But after I installed the VGA driver (ATI Catalyst) the problem occurs.

    The error occurring on the screen is something like this: Access Violation (0xc0000005).

    Cannot run multiple applications installed once the error occurs (for example: iTunes, Nokia Suite, Adobe Reader).

    I am looking for the AC VGA driver for HP Pavilion 1212TX g4 but the problem still occurs.

    Please someone help me. I can't use my new laptop

    Thanks in advance

    If you have installed the drivers from various sources I start over with a clean install of Windows 7 at this point and use the specific drivers for your model >& drivers starting first with Chipset and AMD graphics card, driver Intel Rapid Storage Technology and all other cases.

  • Tecra W50 - cannot start when installing the second hard drive (caddy).

    Hi all
    I have a Tecra W50 PT640A 04103NN1.
    When a second hard drive is installed in the Bay of DVD player cell phone will try to boot from the drive bay, not the internal drive
    This second drive has no operating system installed and so the fails to start.

    If I hit F12 at startup and select HARD drive, while the machine starts correctly. That is starts on the main hard drive.
    Change the order of boot in the BIOS makes all the difference; He will always try to boot from the second drive bay drive first.

    All known A it works correctly?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Doppelfrog,
    I had the same problem with my W50, got my HDD caddy a few days ago.
    You have a bit of luck to fix this problem?
    I believe that the Bios for this laptop is not developed to serve both drives (like the computer I had that one drive Bay) and it is not possible to prioritize the witch THAT HDD should start first...

    Kind regards
