• Pavilion 500-098: adding hard drive, but no 2nd hard drive Bay

  I want to add a second internal hard drive to this computer, but unfortunately the computer has only a hard drive Bay. There is plenty of space for a second hard drive, I thought that I would put the player in the unused space, setting in place somehow so that it does not move. I know I could install an external hard drive, but prefer to have an internal hard drive. The power supply has a supplement of power supply (unused) harddrive.  The motherboard is a Joshua-H61-Μatx. It has 4 SATA connections on it.  SATA0 is connected to the hard drive, SATA2 is connected to the DVD player. SATA1 and SATA3 are free. My idea of adding a second hard drive without a second HDD Bay would work?

• Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

  Hello

  I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
  I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

  Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
  Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

  So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  New HARD drive should be recognized by the laptop properly.
  If you purchased a HARD drive 2.5 SATA, so I put t see serious reasons why this HARD drive is not working.

  Once the HARD drive has been replaced, boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The HARD drive must be formatted during the installation procedure
  That article should work

• Satellite A200-1N2 what HARD drive are supported?

  Hello

  I have an A200-1N2, with the original 120GB hard drive.
  I would like to upgraded to a larger capacity HARD internal disk.
  Can you please me, whose internal hard disk capacities and types (only IDE?) are supported?

  Thank you very much!!
  Leor

  > Can you please tell me, what capacity internal hard drive and types (only IDE?) are supported?
  First of all, for all IDE HDD is NOT supported, because the laptop supports the SATA HDD controller. Therefore, use of SATA 2.5 hard disks.

  Given that the SATA controller is not limited to any size, you should be able to use any HARD drive 2.5 SATA.

  Hey Buddy

  I can confirm the info posted by Gantz. The Win XP needs a driver extra SATA.
  The SATA driver is a part on the Intel Matrix Storage Manager and can be downloaded from the Toshiba page or from the Intel Web site.

  But listen; This theme seems to be one of the top 10 questions and it has already been discussed here in the forum. Then, use the advanced search option and check the other assignments for the Intel Storage Manager!

• Satellite A200 PSAE6E: no HARD drive during the installation of XP

  Hi Vandeven,

  I have the same laptop that you are, but I have difficulty to get Windows XP to recognize the hard drive.
  It keep saying there is no hard drive detected.

  I don't have a floppy drive either.

  Is there another way to install Windows XP without the SATA Driver?
  My bios is 2.10 and I can switch to a different bios it wont let me. Keep saying bad Bios!. But isn't.

  Please help as I am sick and I tried Windows Vista...
  Programs slow and inconsistent.

  Thank you much in advance.

  Why you n t use the forum advanced search option and search for similar topics?

  Installing driver SATA doesn't concern only the A200 series.
  On most new notebook Series SATA, driver installation is necessary.

  In any case if you want to use the search option, then you would find this Toshiba document:

• XPS 8700 2nd hard drive Bay access

  I want to install an SSD in my Dell XPS 8700 system. Once I opened the side panel, I noticed there was a Bay that said second hard drive. Exactly how you can access this Bay? You cannot mount the drive, sliding to the rear, because the power supply works in the way. Then of course, she must cross the front. You physically remove the front panel of the computer? I hate doing this, because something always breaks i.e. clips, some son gets snatch etc. I guess I could remove the power temporarily.

  Thank you

  Hi jwr18,

  Please refer to page no. 40 in the link below to remove and replace the secondary hard drive on Dell XPS 8700.

• Satellite A200 - recovery for HARD drive replacement drive

  Hi all,

  I have here an A200 owner said that he has just stopped working, it gives the message "BOOTMGR is missing", it was running Vista Basic. Vista recovery disc found no operating system (recovery program has written a few files from Notepad on the drive which seem to be the only things on it) install the drive in an external enclosure and try on another computer shows that the only files are the ones notebook. A disk check program found a few bad sectors.

  I intend to replace the drive, my question is what I can do. the operating system, he had a legal copy of Vista, but it came from Harvey Norman with no recovery disc (if the discs provided?) that I have to buy a new copy of the operating system.

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Hi Zamica,

  I m a bit confused... As a first step, you wrote that the recovery disc found no operating system and then you wrote that he came with no recovery disc

  Anyway, if you n t have a Toshiba Recovery disk, you can order it on the Web from Toshiba site (depending on the exact model) or you can ask a service provider authorized in your country.

• Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.

  Thank you

  PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well

  Hey,.

  If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.

  As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

• Satellite P500-12D adding 2nd HARD drive

  Toshiba UK say it is not possible to install a second drive in a P500-12D.
  The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
  I was also told that the second drive Bay could not be used "on the model" but the sata connection is there and inserts brass threaded in the case of the scree of the carrier are present.

  The Bay is deeper than 1 Bay (for the thicker > 500 GB drives and, therefore, the support unit for the 1st Bay can be used - entire centres are also different.)

  Ideas for a work around?

  Sorry for the spelling mistakes - my original message would not be accepted "your message contains profanity or inappropriate language.
  In the interest of your fellow forum users, we ask you to change your message.
  "but no indication as to where." Maybe it's that the things happening in the threaded inserts are not allowed

  Peter K

  > The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
  The reason is that there are different configurations of P500
  The P500 and other series of Toshiba laptops are equipped with different motherboards.
  Not all motherboards support 2 HARD drive controllers.

  This can be a bit confusing for someone buying a laptop and see the second HARD drive Bay, but if you would remove the 2nd HARD drive Bay cover, then you will see that there is no HARD drive connector.
  This means that you will not be able to use the second HARD drive.

• Satellite 300 - 1BZ - 2nd installation drive

  Hello

  I want to install a 2nd hard drive in my laptop (my lappie has 2-Bay hard drive) so I started to do some research, but I'm a little confused as to the type, I need to buy. One who moved with my laptop is a Hitachi Travelstar 5K 250 (250GB) but looking at the Hitachi site, there are several different versions of this model. The version number that came with my laptop is a Hitachi HTS542525K9SA00.

  I really want to install a 500 GB drive in 2nd Bay, but even though I know that the drive that I need is a SATA I'm not for sure if connections in the HARD drive Bay are of a standard type. I looked at all the specs on the Toshiba site on my laptop but they don't give me much information.

  Looking at the manual of the A300 to the 2nd hard drive Bay is not even mentioned and from Toshiba Web site lists only the options for external hard drive that I find a little confused, considering that my lappie has 2 internal hard drive bays!

  Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  You usually have a SATA 2.5 HARD.
  The connectors must be the same.

  I saw another thread regarding the second location of HARD drive and it seems that your laptop is supported by this connector. If this controller is available, it must be a SATA controller.

  See you soon

• 2nd hard drive install on pavilion dv7-3060us 17.3 inches with Quad core processor

  Pavilion dv7-3060us computer has a 2nd hard drive Bay.  On 2 flags of 17.3 inches previous, I installed a 2nd HDD.  This quad core Pavilion is much thinner than the previous pavilions;  the underside of the computer has also a centre piece in the form of "T" in the Panel without screw - is a pop on the access panel or the entire bottom panel needs to be removed through the perimeter screws?  Still trying to find a manual showing this particular case - no luck so far.  The downloaded HP

  Manual for the previous dv-7 is for the case of style like unless I missed something.

  Install an SSD soon - would like to have all the "stuff" to install a 2nd drive hard if possible.  Anything I should be aware of before perform this procedure?  Don't really want to remove all the merits of the case.

  Thanks for any help that can be provided.

  DP - K

  I appreciate the help.  The Caddy is the same that I used before (on the 1st dv7) the 2nd dv7 used the direct taking of 90 degrees into the adapter.  I have both of these me more allotted a 500 GB HD.  All I need pickup is the SSD.

  The "T" sign on the back of my case has no screws - but I can see the 3 component tabs snap at the top of the "T" through the small crack on the case.  These are shown on the exploded view of repair.  I'm projecting from the 'snap-out' Panel down on the vertical leg of the "T".

  Once again; Thank you

• WE made the Notebook G71-340 have TWO hard drive bays

  My mother has the laptop mentioned in this topic. She had all kinds of issues with her past. Runs slowly. Crashes. Stop randomly. I ran all virus scan and malware known to man and it found nothing. It's either something that is on the hard drive is not detected and the only solution is to reformat the hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch or it's a hardware problem. I think to install an SSD as drive for improved speed and reformatting of the original disc that is out there at the moment and which install as a secondary drive, * IF * this laptop has the capacity to hold 2 hard drives. Anyone know the answer to this question of 2nd hard drive Bay on the top of their head for this laptop specific? Thanks in advance.

  Unfortunately this is not one of the models with the extra hard drive Bay. So the answer is no. Think hard external usb disc or a NAS.

  Install an SSD as a replacement for the original hard drive is the way to go. Use the largest you can afford and run an image recovery plant from the set of recovery disks.
