Re: Satellite P500-1F8 - where to purchase 2nd drive HARD trolley?

Hello

I want to add an SSD in the 2nd Bay of my P500-1F8, but need a "caddy" provider to keep in. I removed the two lids HDD bay, currently unused Bay has SATA connections (but no box), but the cart must be different from the one currently being used, as the two screws are used to hold it in place, while the HARD drive is held in place with only one screw on the caddy.

I intend to use the SSD as a boot only disk and use the current 640 GB HDD for storage. I would have thought, with a laptop this expensive, the caddy would be included, it's only a piece of cheap Tin pressed when all is said and done!

Any help on this would be greatly received because I really have to add an SSD, but don't want to spend a fortune on a large capacity that would allow me to store all my music, etc.
Thanks in advance, Roo

Hey,.

I can understand you Roo, SSD are really nice so it s good idea to use it as a boot drive and use your HARD drive being stored.

Anyway, this HARD drive caddy, you can get to an authorized service provider. Guys can order all spare parts Toshiba so I'm sure they can order the correct caddy for you. Here is a list with all the addresses that you can contact them:

    Is it possible to configure things so I can choose which HARD drive to boot from at the start, i.e. it is by default on the internal HARD drive but I can't choose to boot from the HARD drive in the modular Bay?

    I tried pressing F12 to boot device selection screen, but am unable to choose the 2nd HARD drive.

  • 2nd drive HARD drive caddy optical Bay - Pavilion dv6700

    Hello world

    I hope someone here can help with that, because I'm out of ideas...

    I've recently updated the primary drive of my laptop dv6700 (dv6820es) with an SSD. I did a new install of Win_7_32 and there is no problem at all.

    But this record is not that great, so I decided to plug in the SATA HARD disk-old through the optical drive Bay in order to have the storage capacity. For this, I ordered a SATA-to-PATA caddy that fits perfectly.

    The big problem now is to make this combination of work:

    • Behavior of the BIOS: it is difficult to say if the BIOS detects the drive properly, as long as this model of the BIOS is pretty poor in the configuration/information options. In any case, when I press F9 with the 2nd HARD drive plugged in, a new startup option appears as well as the SSD and is listed as "7. Notebook hard drive. The HARD drive is spinning too. Because of what I guess that the BIOS detects, at least, 'something' (but again, I can't tell if the HARD drive as it is or just some unknown decive). Moreover, the BIOS is updated to the latest available version: l58 A.
    • Behavior of Windows: for what I can see, Windows behaves as if the reader was not there. Nothing in the "Device Manager" and nothing in the "Disk Manager", just the SSD drive is detected. With one exception, in one of the restarts a lot I did the player that presented themselves. The usual text bubble said 'installation disk... ". ", and apparently it installed fine. After installation, there was this new IDE drive "" under "Drives" in the "Windows Device Manager". Well, it seems to work! But unfortunately, I've seen my hopes be disappointed in the next step, when you try to initialize the drive through the "Disk Manager". First of all, it took a long time (like 4-5 minutes) with the program that 'think', finally launch one of these errors of the infamous 'cyclic redundancy. I rebooted, but the player was not there yet. And he never showed up again, just this time.

    Sad thing is that I can't tell what makes the difference. I updated some things like the drivers of Intel chip, Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver (not really necessary, I suppose, but just in case)... throughout this process. But in fact nothing in particular time it almost worked.

    My ATA drivers are the most recent available for my chipset AHCI. Is there a driver I'm missing? Is there an impossibility for the 2nd HDD (PATA) to work with the SSD works in AHCI mode?

    Well, I think it's all (sorry for the long post). Maybe someone has endured/solved a similar problem.

    Please share your knowledge

    Hi Erico,

    Sorry for the confusion of information.

    The HARD drive is a SATA drive and the optical drive is a PATA drive, so I used a caddy SATA-PATA. Something like that:

    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?Main_Page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=226

    (Although the one I ordered is not the manufacturer)

    Whereas, although the HARD drive is a SATA drive, it should be detected as a PATA one. Is it possible to make interfaces SATA AHCI as PATA work together? Is not in this case. Need a motherboard very ethusiast and advanced BIOS level.

    [Edit: the chipset is, moreover, of the Mobile Intel 965 Express Family.]

    Perhaps that the liaison has a cable better than purchased translation Setup. A lot of people seem to be satisfied with it.

    The physical connection of hard disks must be of the same type for the reason that I expressed in my previous post, unless there is a translation of the work cable between SATA and PATA.

    If your laptop has a double drive Bay and you have installed the drive in the Bay with a caddy and cable SATA cononector it would be simple.

  • Try to re - initialize the 2nd drive hard - but how?

    Hello
    I buy an internal drive of Hitachi 3TO for my Vista 64 system b to use as a single data storage drive.  Accidentally, I chose the option when it is time to initialize the disc with respect to the partion 2 TB or MBR.  He advanced and formatted the drive in this way and left about 746 GB unallocated.  I want to start from scratch and have all the 3 to appear as a single volume, so I think that I need initialized as TPG (as described in: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463524).

    However, I can't have the option where I can convert it by the article.  How to start the process more so that I can initialize and format the drive to 3 TB.  Yet once, it is for the storage of data only and not for the operating system.
    Thank you!

    To change a master boot record disk into a GUID partition table disk using a command line

    1. Back up or move the data on the basis of master boot drive (MBR) record that you want to convert into a disk GUID partition table (GPT).

    2. Open an elevated command prompt (right click on command promptand then click run as administrator) and type diskpart. If the disc does not contain any partitions or volumes, go to step 6.

    3. At the DISKPART prompt, type list disk. Note the number of the disk to convert.

    4. At the DISKPART prompt, type select disk .

    5. At the DISKPART prompt, type clean.

      Important
      Run the clean command deletes all partitions or volumes on the disk.
    6. At the DISKPART prompt, type convert gpt.

    Then I'll return to the computer management screen and the disk appears as 2.79 TB disk and I can start the formatting process.  Phew.  That took a while to discover this.
