Second hard drive and serial number

Hello

I have bougth HP Pavilion dv7, 7230 with a hard disk of 1 TB inside before 2 months. And I have 'only' 2 problems. First of all, official site Web does not know my laptop, when I "auto dection", and also when I write the serial number manually. Why? Second, in this notebook with my setup is only 1 hard drive inside. Second Bay is free. Of course, I have an older hard drive of my laptop and I want to get for my new laptop. But, something wrong. I bought a special cable to connect the second drive, but when I connect it to the motherboard I can't turn on my computer. But I think that evil is in cable, no hard drive, because when I connect the cable alone diskless hard at the end of this cable, do the same. Y at - it special "pin" or something similar? Or I have to accommodate this disc in a special program? Or what?  Someone at - he had similar problem?

I agree with you on this special cable. Do not use it.  Buy another provider.  , You must use a HP part or suppliers that is guaranteed to fi HP part number filter. There is no special PIN or a clip. It takes just the right piece. See below for more information

To make sure that you have the correct serial number, look in both the HP Support Assistant and the bottom of the window or in the BIOS in system information.

I've ignored the serial number of my current HP product loan of privacy.

What is yours?

All models listed above use information HP p/n at the following address for the component you need for hard disks.

  • Presario CQ5110F: COMPAQ Presario CQ5110F adding a second hard drive and...

    Good so I took the lead when writing my original post on how to combine the two computers successfully.
    Not enough research, no question, just a little say aloud... Sorry about that.
    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-hardware-and-upgrade-questions/HP-Pavilion-slimline-s3505f-amp-...

    I had little time today messing with both ' puters and discovered...
    They need a good cleaning and had.
    The noise of the Presario is indeed the fan on the radiator, it's just old and tired. Who cannot be strong in a music room; new fan may not be too expensive.
    So I decided the Presario is my starting point.

    I would add the hard drive of the Slimline as slave; they have different connectors tho.

    (1) if I just unplug the V2000 CD reader (that has the straight plugs) and use them to connect the second hard drive will I just lost my CD player? It is very good.
    (2) what parameters of rider (if any) do I need to have on each disc? Do not see outside the car Slimlines.

    I looked closer 2 slots for RAM and noticed that beside them there seems to be 2 places in addition to the Board of Directors, unused with no present holders plastic.

    (3) is it possible to add more slots and double the RAM? I would get 8 + GB and a 64-bit system end by ;~)

    Neither office seems to have the ability to run 2 monitors as is. No problem 29 "should do for now.
    Can't see a way to take the card out of the Slimline wireless and put it in the Presario. Internet not immediately necessary, hard connection cable always an option.

    All the other tips and advice on how to optimize my sytem are also welcome.
    Thank you for your time and helping an old guy handyman.
    See you soon!

    Hard drives has no different connectors if they are both SATA specifications like other post indicated.

    There is no adjustment to make on hard disks of the rider SATAS. According to me, that one can think of the old school the IDE drives.

    ) If I just unplug the V2000 CD reader (that has the straight plugs) and use them to connect the second hard drive will I just lost my CD player? It is very good.

    The image below is a diagram for your motherboard. You have enough SATA ports to be used for the second and even a third hard drive.

    DDR2 memory modules can be a little difficult to source. The current generation of add-on memory is the DDR3 specification.

  • Satellite A200-1 s 5 - can I use a second HARD drive and RAID?

    Hi all

    Toshiba Satellite A200-1 s 5 is eligible to add a second hard drive? It has RAID controller as much I know - it might help?

    Thank you
    Denis

    If you have a SATA connector in the second HARD drive Bay, you can use a second HDD. Check it!
    Then you can buy each disc HARD what you want with SATA port.

    The Satellite A200 doesn't have a RAID controller.

  • Try adding the second hard drive

    Hello

    I bought a 500-154th Pavilion in December to replace my aging system Vista. This Vista machine, finally, died yesterday, so I want to bring out the old WD 320 disc (disc SATA Cavier, manufactured in 2007) and put it in the new HP to recover some files. I have attached SATA and power cables and lit. Machine worked OK, but haven't seen the old drive in Windows 8.

    I booted up the BIOS and it was perfectly listed, model number, everything, so I knew that the connections were OK. I checked the SATA ports in respect of the security of the devices and they are all enabled. If I go to Control Panel/Device Manager, it is not listed. If I check computer/manage the Virtual Drive Manager does not display it. The 320 GB which is held from the Vista operating system, but I don't see that it made a difference that I'm not the start of it. I assumed it would seem and what, if anything, I have to assign a drive letter.

    I am a bit puzzled and open to all ideas.

    Hello stoke_ferry,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I understand that your old Vista computer ultimately failed and you put your desktop HP Pavilion 500-154th PC hard drive to retrieve files and it does not work. Have you thought this might be the item failed in your Vista computer? If you did all the appropriate measures to add a second hard drive and it sounds as if you have and it appears not it could be the faulty and you will not be able to recover the information easily. There are companies that can recover your data, but the cost will be very high.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Second Hard Drive not recognized / climb (but it IS listed in the Device Manager)

    I have a HP Compaq DC7800 convertible mini tower running than Win 7 Pro 64-bit

    I installed a second hard drive, and while I can see listed in the Device Manager, it is not mounted.

    That is to say, it is not in the computer > field at all.

    The second hard drive is a Hitachi HDT721032SLA360 ATA Device

    Under the hardware ID, it is said: IDE\DiskHitachi_HDT721032SLA360___ST2OA38E

    I thought it was a driver problem. Device Manager indicates that it uses the Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385 driver.

    I can't find a Hitachi driver for this player. My understanding was that this drive would NOT need drivers.

    I have it in the plug of P5 (I think it is P5, it's at the end of the cable with the primary hard drive) and I have a data cable sata from the sata port on the rear of the disc in the slot sata on the motherboard next to the slot in the place where the main in drive is plugged.

    The only sites that list the drivers for this drive are all spam (thanks, google) sites.

    What I have to change something in my Bios?

    Thanks in advance.

    If the drive is listed in the device but not 'computer' Manager, it must be mounted or a new volume must be created. Please see HP - partitioning and names of hard drives (Windows 7) for more information on using the Windows Disk Management Console.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Upgrade Vista to Windows 7, files using the second internal hard drive and Windows Easy Transfer.

    I have a desktop pc with 2 internal hard drives.  A hard drive has the BONE and the second hard disk is a separate partition.  (I do not combine hard drives using RAID.)  If I upgrade Vista to Windows 7, the upgrade will be to reformat hard disks or just a hard drive with the operating system?  Should I remove the second hard disk of the computer just to be sure?  The second hard drive must be reformatted for use with Windows 7?

    Thank you.

    You must install the upgrade in the Vista operating system.
