• Copy Time Machine backups on Second drive

  While I've seen some support responses on this issue, I don't know what relates to my situation.

  My scenario: I have a new iMac on the way to replace my current 24 "in early 2009.  I thought I could have my current computer time just come back on the computer where the other was arrested, but my research seems to indicate that this is not the case.

  My solution is to do the following:

  (1) transfer the backups on the Machine of the current time to a second external drive.

  Note: I also intend to use this second unit of disk storage system of primary file to the new computer.  The new iMac will be an SSD where I only intend to keep applications and files that I use for the projects basically video/photo.  It is a 4 TB drive, so plenty of room for me to organize my current files and backup Time Machine, which is about 1 TB.

  (2) current Time Machine to reformat and put up again as the time Machine to the new computer.

  Here's my question:

  After trying to simply drag and drop the folder "backups.backup" of time to my new drive of a second Machine, I got the message error "volume a bad upper/lower case distinction for backup."  It seems that my Time Machine has been formatted as journaled attention to case, but the new disc has been simply logged.

  I'm currently following these instructions using disk utility: time machine TM file transfer

  I'm left with two questions:

  First: It says "copy blocks. "Estimated time: 23 hours"-which seems excessive for just 1 TB of info.

  Second: Most important.  After this process I will be able to use the second drive as a storage drive, or is it simply that in fact in another time Machine?

  Honestly, I've never used TM to find a lost file or two and never for a restoration complete, so I'm not particularly worried about it.  Secondly, I have change my Time Machine drive each year (holding to the old disks).  I just did this in January, so if I lose a few months of backups, not a huge deal.  I just hope that simply keep these backups as a just in case where.

  Thanks in advance for your ideas!

  FWIW, it's not recommended to use the same drive for backups Time Machine and data for several reasons. It can be done, but you need to create two partitions.

  I have a Pavilion a6500f I can access is no longer as he continues to tell me there are registry errors.  My recovery disk (I got a) or do a hard reset or else he will start.  It came with a window that says recovery system or start Windows normally.  I get a new hard drive to it and have a whole new Windows 7 installed.  The thing is that I don't want to lose all my stuff on the old hard drive.  So my question is can I install the OLD hard drive as a second drive to the new?  If I can then I can just copy all the files from the old drive to the new and use the old as a memory drive.

• HP Envy TouchSmart, m7 j-000dx: adding a second drive

  I want to add a second drive of my laptop HP Envy TouchSmart (17.3 ") since I was a lot of data on my current SSD.

  My question is that the computer will support the SSD and SSHD readers?

  Are there restrictions on the size of the disk (to 1, 2-4).

  I had my HP Envy since 7/2013 and am currently using Windows 10 (64-bit).   I've updated RAM 16 MB (max for this phone).  The material is otherwise original.

  It has been frustrating to look for information, if I can do it at all and, if so, what can I use for this second disc.  Thank you.

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  The laptop is essentially identical to the series of 17 t-j000xx want so that they share a textbook. I used to own a model 17 t - j029nr that would be about the same as yours. The laptop has 2 size hard disk bays 2.5 inches and there is a slot on the motherboard for a reader to the WSSD mSATA.

  This video shows how to add a second hard drive.

  The company that made the video, www.newmodeus.com also sells hardware, you need to add a second drive.

  I bought one of these and used to install a second hard drive in mine. It may be a mechanical drive an SSHD or a 2.5 inch SATA SSD. It can be of 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick and is limited in size only by what you can find on the market. I think that 2 TB is still the larger disk of 2.5 inch 9.5 mm there.

  The only complication is going to be if you do not have an mSATA 32 gig drive in the computer as it should be removed if you are running an SSD. Looks like you don't have a disc mSATA. Post back with more questions about it he gets the kind of technique and not need to go if this is not a problem for you.

• Pavilion 9408nr: Add a second drive for another main drive for laptops

  How can I add a second drive for another main drive of laptop computers. I took the car on the same cell type that crashed by the motherboard. I put it in drive Bay 2. Problems with starting. I sometimes want to boot from disc 2. Is there a MBR somewhere? Are there jumpers to make it slave. Sometimes it will install the software on 2 without any question. Is there a way to make a slave?

  Important-copy all data on the second hard drive you want to save on the first hard drive.

  MBR of Windows with the hard drive. Use Windows Explorer to locate the second hard drive. Right-click on it and format it.  Once this done, all what one is a storage device and not bootable until the operating system is installed to it.

  The BIOS will only see the hard drive as a bootable as it will now be the only drive with a MBR boot sector.

  The days of placement of the jumpers to determine master or slave on the disks hard is long gone. SATA drives have no jumpers slave\master like the old school IDE and Eide did.

• Can I add a second drive to an edition four dv7t-7000?

  The HP parts store said on a drive has been supported, but configuration options have shown

  several configuration with two drives.

  I had hoped that I could add a caddy and power/bus connector from the parts store.

  Only, I have configured the machine with a drive and add a second drive (from my dv7 dead 3085 dx).

  The machine is supposed to arrive June 18

  Thanks for the ideas...

  Jerry

  The answer is a qualified Yes.

  The kit suitable for the dv7t-7000 is ' 681976-001.  This kit comes with the

  Caddy and a power/bus short and long cable. It also has some screws

  the disk drive on the caddy.

  It contains also the 2 screws M2.5xL4 which will be attached the main drive caddy to the

  the computer chassis, but there is no screws to attach the second drive caddy to

  the framework.

  the recommended screws are 2.5 M x 9 L.

  I picked up two 2.5 M x 8L live in ACE hardware work fine.

• How do I dual boot windows 7 a physical drive and windows server 2008 R2 to a second drive

  I bought a new 'high-end' and want to leave the current WIndows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), as is.  I want to install a second drive hard and on this new drive, install WIndows Server 2008 R2 so that I can run hyper-v.  I know I have to edit the BCDEDIT, but EVERYWHERE I look for help on this subject, he refers to a virtual hard disk... I don't want to run Server 2008 from a virtual hard disk... but rather a native installation.  Is this possible... If yes HOW?  I know he's probably changed since the days of WIndows 2000 and WIndows 2003.

• Add the second drive to ATC - 780

  I just purchased an ATC-780-UR61 with a 2.5 ssd "standard that I would add as a second disk as the startup disk and use the disk of 1 TB for storage. Now, I understand that there are only 2 SATA connectors on the motherboard - the one used by the 1 TB drive and 1 by the dvd player.

  Is it possible to add a second drive on this PC? I read some other models have a m2 connector to add a ssd drive to, but I don't see any documentation that the ATC-780.

  I can confirm:

  NGFFM1 m2 SSD connector

  It is on the right side of the motherboard near the SATA 2 ports.

• How to install a second drive on my XP...

  I recently reinstalled windows XP on my computer and I realized that there is only a single drive (drive C). I have not install another.is it's too late to do it now? Please, I beg you. I will appreciate any help I can get... Thank you...

  You can reduce your C: partition, then add an another partition/drive. So that you can reinstall XP to do this, it is easier to use a Windows XP partitioning program.

  EASEUS Partition Master (free):

  Includes Partition Manager, Disk & Partition copy Wizard and Partition Recovery Wizard for Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit). It allows users to resize/move Partition, drive system extend, copy Disk & Partition, Partition merge, Split Partition, redistribute free space, convert dynamic disk, Partition Recovery and more.

  Or if you want a separate physical hard drive you can open the computer and connect a second drive to the computer.

• DV9000 freezes - not to recognize the new second Drive

  The laptop in question is a HP Pavilion DV9225us (DV9000) running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit (SP 2) with 2 GB of RAM and a chip from AMD Turion 64 x 2 TL-60 2.00 GHz.

  I took the Samsung existing 120 GB drive in the second and replaced drive bay by a WD3200BEKT Scorpio 320 GB drive. After I put the new Scorpio drive with the correct HP caddy, the system would not start (for example, Windows Vista began to start, but hung on the screen empty which poster right before that with the Windows progress bar downstairs). I removed the Scorpio, and put it back in the original Samsung drive. Needed to run "Startup Repair" Windows several times during the sequence before priming it could start normally. (I guess he was trying to cancel the "fetid" caused by the player of Scorpion and trying to back up my original Samsung drive.) He finally managed (thank God).

  I upgraded my BIOS on the DV9000, but that did not work. I tried also to access the disk in the BIOS during the boot. The BIOS as a secondary drive was there, but when I tried to do a BIOS diagnostic on it, he is hooked. In fact, he hung even when I tried to make a diagnosis of BIOS on the main drive as well.

  After having contacted WD support, they suggested putting a jumper between pins 1 and 2 on the Scorpion to allow a PCN (reduced power setting) in the hope that it would recognize the HP. That no longer works.

  I just have another HP Pavilion DV9620us (DV9500) laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit (SP 2) with 2 GB of RAM and an AMD Turion 64 x 2 chip TL-58 1.90 GHz. It has also two drive bays. As an experiment, I installed the Scorpio 320 GB drive in

  the second drive bay in this laptop. This laptop IS able to recognize (for example, mount) the reader, so for the heck of it, I formatted the disc while he was there. Then I took the drive formatted and installed on the second drive bay in my first laptop (DV9000). However, this did not help, because again once the system wouldn't start.

  What is going on? Why my DV9500 laptop would be able to recognize and use the drive, but won't my DV9000? They do not use the same motherboard and BIOS?

  I know that the Samsung 120 GB drive uses a connection SATA 1 (1.5 GB / s) and the Scorpio 320 GB SATA 3 (3 GB / s). The DV9000 does not support a SATA 3 drive? It's crazy to me, sounds, but I am so frustrated now, I think that anything...

  Service and Maintenance Manual for this model: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01311536.pdf

  indicate it is officially supported: 200, 160, 120, 100 - or hard disks of 80 GB.

  Other size may work, but not in the official list of supported.

  While some of the dv9500 models claims to "support all SATA drives.

• Adding a second drive to my Optiplex 755

  I bought an Optiplex 755 renovated a few months back that came with a floppy (really?). I decided to add a second drive, so I removed the disk and put a Seagate 750 GB drive in its place. I entered the program installation and active the drive, rebooted, went back into the Setup program to verify that the disc was recognized that it was. BUT now, whenever I restart the machine, I have the black screen with the following text:

  Replacing the HARD drive is not valid, continued use can lead to long-term reliability problems HDD please press that F1 in you want to continue.

  It also gives me the choice to press F1 to continue, F2 to enter setup or on F5 to run tests.

  I press F1 and it starts normally.

  My question is how or what I do to eliminate this black screen? Because if I restart and let the system is here and waiting forever.

  Thanks for your help.

  The DT, SFF, USFF systems REQUIRE specific Western Digital or SAMSUNG drive model. Replacing the HARD drive is not valid is specific to 745 and 755 SFF and ULTRA-COMPACT systems.

  The DT, SFF, USFF models will have a thermal message.  The model of the Tower does not care the drive Type.  This is due to "thermal considerations.

  

  Desktop Dell 755 is configured to reject anything but a hard drive Western Digital or Samsung, claiming that it is due to "thermal considerations.  This is for Desktop and SFF and ULTRA-COMPACT models.

• T300, 2 drive RAID1 array - second drive disappeared.

  I have a T300 with an SAS 6iR. Fully updated running Windows 2003. I have installed 7.2 OMSA.

  This server must have a 2 disk RAID 1 array. OpenManage said there is that a single drive, there is no mention of whether it be by car - not missing, failed, degraded, nothing - as it is not installed.

  I just got the remote desktop send me a picture of the server - both disks have the flashing green lights.  I take the second drive and reinstall, no change.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  But OMSA shows you the caveat for the degraded array?

  However, it looks like your drive needs to be replaced... I'm guessing that you have ordered it already for the site.  If someone on-site has reinstalled the drive, then the replacement should be relatively painless.

• image of the disk system reconfigured to the second drive, active C with the same license

  Can I make an image of my C drive system and then recreate the image on a second drive, activate using the same license as the first so that I can hot swap the second disc for Windows problems?

  That's what I did, but I wonder if I'll run into trouble of having both drives enabled with the same license.

  I think Windows will see the second disk as a clone of the first drive and they should not be a problem. I've heard of cloning of their C drive in case something goes wrong so they can instantly Exchange readers on people.

  No, because the partition scheme is not the same thing and also, you won't be able to activate it. You can't have multiple installations of the same license.
