  How did you add it? Where's the hardware mounting hard disk?

To find computer or this PC in the right click menu... Choose manage, disk management and you will see a Visual representation of the hard drives. It can automatically prompts you to initialize the disk. Once do you that and format it in ntfs and assign a drive letter and the name of the volume, it will appear in the computer as a lettered drive.

• Satellite L855 - 12G and 2nd hard drive

  Is it possible to eventually put a 2nd hard drive of my laptop Satellite L855 - 12G?

  Thank you

  Hello

  When you remove the memory cover on the underside of your laptop, you will see that there is only one available HARD drive location. There is no place for the second HARD drive.

  If you need more capacity, you can exchange original HDD by another. Of course, you can use external HDD or USB sticks.

  Some people try to remove the optical disk drive and put the second HARD drive here using special HDD bay but the problem is that many of them have stated that this second HDD was not recognized correctly.

• Adding 2nd hard drive for Dell E310

  Hello

  I recently made some updates to my E310 and, until I got to the point where I was adding the second hard drive, everything went well.

  First of all, nobody in my local computer store knew of the blue Paw was to add 2nd hard drive; They suggested screw. This isn't the first hard drive I have installed, even if it is the first in my Dell. After my third attempt of Googling, I struck gold - a post in the forum explaining that support is needed and a telephone number to order. I am so grateful for this response.

  I read in similar positions and before putting the drive in I want to understand what is needed after the physical installation. This player will not hold the OS (XP Media), but held the whole image, music, and various files. Still must the player be partitioned and formatted using disk management I read in another post? I understand that I must go into the Bios to activate the second hard drive, so to speak. Is this similar to enter the CMOS? Would you be able to provide clear instructions?

  Is there anything else I should do to get the new HDD to be operational?

  Thank you for your time and thanks to the person who posted this phone number.

• Want TS 17 J140us: Laptop computer only supplies not on after adding 2nd HARD drive

  This laptop has an option for a 2nd HARD drive.

  I installed 2nd HARD drive and the laptop does not light.

  When I remove the 2nd HARD drive it is normal again.

  I'm guesing that a special BIOS change is needed to allow the reader to 2nd.

  Anyone know what is the solution?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Success!

  I think it was just plugging in the cable needed to be reinstalled.

  I confirmed that the drve was good with an external cable.

  I made the stop while holding down the SHIFT key.

  Once it did not work.

  Then I took out the cable and put it back making sure to he went in the port exactly how is HDD - 1.

  This time, he appeared in the windows Device Manager. I already made the partition, format, assign the drive letter.

  Everything is good to go now. I'm glad, that I have a lot of storage space on my laptop.

  Thanks for the suggestions, have a nice day.

• Satellite P500/024 - Eco button & HARD drive Protection feature

  Hi guys,.

  I did a clean install of windows 7 64 bit on my laptop, when I put the drivers on I got a system restore on reboot after installing the HDD protection (I went through 2 restorations to this functioned as the problem) the eco button worked on both of these first attempts.

  I now work properly but the Eco button refuses to work now, I've tried several times to uninstall and reinstall, but without any result
  When I select the actual program eco mode it works and brings the button 'eco', as it must also goes off to do likewise.

  When I push the button on the keyboard eco everything get if the beep and it flashes briefly on the screen of the laptop.
  I also left the protection of the HARD drive, no matter what you have any suggestions on the foregoing?

  See you soon

  Hey Buddy,

  To be honest your ad is a little difficult to understand, but about the Eco button, the page of Toshiba Eco utility do you have installed? It is necessary to use the Eco button.
  Also the value-added package must also be installed. It contains Toshiba components common driver which is necessary to make the other Toshiba programs work.

  Why did you do a clean install of Windows 7? What about the factory settings? I mean the version preinstalled Windows with all the drivers and tools. Can you confirm that he of working with these settings?

• HP ENVY Phoenix 810-135qe CTO Desktop PC adding 2nd hard drive

  I have added a second hard drive to my system (3 TB Seagate) that is the same (brand / model) on the main drive.  Device Manager sees the drive, but Win 7 Pro does not see the drive.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Look in to the new hard drive disk management.  To use the full capacity of the drive, you'll need to be initialized and he the GPT format.  Don't forget to assign a drive letter and a volume name.  In addition, make sure that the drive appears as online and not in offline mode.

• Adding 2nd hard drive for Inspiron 530

  I have a Dell Inspiron 530 which has a Samsung 320 hard drive.  I would like to add a second hard drive to put photos, etc.  Green a Western Digital 2 TB 3.5 "SATA looks like a possibility.  However, images, like most of the internal drives I saw pictures, he has one open side showing the drive mechanism.  The Samsung already in the PC is covered.  The additional disc will not become covered with dust (my PC had a lot of cobwebs in it when I opened it to the top!)?  Any advice on which drive to choose and how to install it would also be appreciated.

  dellby

  All computers must be inside the frame, cleaned all the dust on a regular basis.

  I have two HD SATA and SSD installed in my Inspiron 530 mini tour and have never had a problem of "dust."

  Keep the air intakes located on the façade behind the clean HD of any accumulation of dust, helps to cool the hard drives.

  Instructions for the installation of a second hard drive physically in a 530 are here:

  FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/Inspiron-530_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.PDF

  Will need you a SATA data cable, there should be a spare power connector SATA inside the case and four 6-32 X 1/4, Phillips head screws to mount the drive.

  Connect the SATA data cable to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

  After you have installed the drive, enter the system setup and make sure the hard drive is "on" [We] and recognized.

  For windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned and formatted.

  Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management, right click on the new drive, select format, then you can assign a drive letter.

  Hard drives Western Digital and Seagate are good, my preference is for Western Digital.

  Also check the length of the manufacturer's warranty, plus the best guarantee.

• HPE 390 t: adding 2nd hard drive?

  I bought the HPE 390t with a main hard drive of 300 GB at 10 000 rpm.

  I would like to install a 2 TB internal hard drive.

  Is there place in the chassis for this?  He moved in the same cage as the main drive of 300 GB?  Or somewhere else?

  Looks like it's a white connector on the motherboard to accept the SATA cable.

  Where can I get power go?  It's not like there is an additional feeder for a second drive?

  Does anyone have experience with this?  Thank you!

  I leave the setting alone unless you want to recharge your primary HD and run in ACHI bios mode.  This is the mode that I use.

  Go to---> disk management computer management and expand the screen entirely. You should now see your new hard drive. Right mouse click on it and select Initialize.  Once the disk initialized, then you can partition the formats you want, up to four partitions.  Changing the cluster size would require some specialized software to partitioning.  Frankly, I would skip this idea but I am sure that your have your reasons.  Partition Magic used to have the ability to change cluster sizes.  You also consider the size of the track, so you can determine which cluster size that maximizes the space of the track, but then maybe it's a trade off for object size data.   This is a two edged sword.

• 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.

• Re: Satellite A660 - 2nd HARD drive instead of the CD/DVD drive

  Hello

  I found a few solutions to this problem ([solution | http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=page&id=7&chapter=0]), but none of them are dedicated to A660.

  There is no device dedicated to tosiba a660?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I know Satellite A660 can't stand not a thin Bay select only some models like the M400 Portege, Portege M750, Tecra M9, Tecra S3 or S4 Tecra, Portege M700 support this feature

  So 2nd HARD drive instead of the CD/DVD drive does not seem to be possible

• No satellite P770-111 no SATA cable to connect the 2nd HARD drive

  Hello!

  I bought by Satellite P770-111 3 days and was hoping to insert another HARD drive that I had in my old laptop.
  OK, I opened the plastic cover on the bottom side of the laptop and there are 2 slots of HDD (2.5 ") but a single HARD disk.
  A HARD disk that is currenty in the laptop's big 500 GB. I would like to install another, but there is a problem:
  There is no cable to connect it to the motherboard SATA.

  Basically, there are 2 slots hard drive but only a connection interface. Could you please tell me how could I install a 2nd HARD drive?

  Thank you in advance!

  Damjan

  > there is no cable to connect it to the motherboard SATA.
  The fact is that not all laptops of the same series of notebook models are equipped with the same motherboard and controllers of same.
  This means that even if there is a second HARD-drive Bay, you will not be able to use a 2nd HARD drive. You know

  The chassis is the same in all models of laptops but there are different motherboards and not all supported 2nd controller.
