Second missing hard drive

• HP m9340f, install a second SATA hard drive

  Hello!  I tried to install a second SATA hard drive in my m9340f without success.  It is a 2 TB SATA drive, it should be compatible, but on the power of the system will not even to the last POST.  No message screen or the BIOS errors.  When I disconnect and remove the new drive, the system is back to normal.

  Anyone have any success installing disks second in this model of HP?  This is the first record additional SATA hard I never put in a system, then am I missing a step?

  Thank you!

  Thank you all for the quick responses!

  I was able to fix this by taking two actions:

  (1) I applied an update for my BIOS.

  (2) I went to a reader from different manufacturers.  A Hitachi 2 TB drive did not work, but a Western Digital works perfectly on the first attempt.  It was with the same cable and connection of motherboard that has not worked for Hitachi.

  Please mark this as resolved issue.

  Best regards

  Product: F9J38UA #ABA

  Thank you

  Not in the way you probably do. Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See Page 50. Unlike the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv7, Pavilion 17 has that a single hard drive Bay. The only way to add a second hard drive is to remove the DVD (optical drive) and insert a DVD to the hard drive bay adapter. The manual shows how to remove the DVD player and you can buy the adapter at amazon.com or jacobsparts.com. Note that this is a 9.5 mm thick disc, not a 12.7 mm. Both types are available. I do not recommend the adapter DVD player solution because you lose the use of the optical drive, and also because the interface of optical drive is usually not as fast as the main hard drive interface. Always fast enough for simple storage and you can run a video of her, but you do not want to edit the video of this disc, for example.

  If you decide to go the route of adapter DVD I would buy a large capacity 5400 RPM SATA 2.5 inches wide and drive hard thickness 9.5 mm. No sense in buying a reader more expensive high-performance.

  You must open the Windows disk management console, then format the drive for use in the system.  You can find more information on this process here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-format-hard-disk-partition#create-format-hard-disk-partition=windows-7

• AG3-605-UR1C supports a second internal hard drive?

  I would add a second internal hard drive of my AG3-605-UR1C. Is this possible?

  If it's important, the player that I'm considering is Seagate Desktop HDDSATA.

  Thanks in advance for the answer.

  your PC has 4 SATA ports on the motherboard, so if you have 1 HDD and 1DVD, you have 2 spare SATA ports to be used, and there is too much room on the chassis.

• Second SATA hard drive not detected by Bios and Device Manager

  Original title: second SATA hard drive

  Hard drive not detected by the Bios and the device under Vista Home Premiun Manager

  Hi trinitario,.

  Because the hard drive is not detected in the BIOS also, it may be due to a hard drive configuration that should be changed or a rider. If you need to get in touch with a Local tech-store for assistance.

  Note: change in the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

  Hello

  HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

  I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

  I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

  Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

  Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

  You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

  Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

• Pavilion a6500f: can I add a second SATA hard drive to my HP Pavilion a6500f?

  I have a HP Pavilion a6500f running Windows 7 Home Premium.  I would like to add a second hard drive to 500 GB 7200 RPM to it as a slave drive.  Can I do this?  And if I can how do I know what size must have the hard drive?

  That your system is 8 years old, I suggest you these:

  (1) clone the old drive to a new drive, either 500 GB or 1 TB.  Use it as your new drive system.  Modern Sata 600 drives are 6 Gbps with 64 MB of cache memory. It will have better performance than older Sata 300 players with 32 MB cache / 3 GB/s.

  (2) your old-school, like the reader of the term 'slave' was a reference to the IDE/EIDE, cabling system.

  (3) all you need is a standard WD or Seagate 7200 RPM disk 3,5 '' hard. Both offer a free disk assistant program to facilitate the process of cloning.

• Satellite Pro P200 - 1KE Vista loses contact with the second internal HARD drive

  Vista Business SP2. I have a Satellite Pro P200-1KE, with two 160 GB drives: a Hitachi configured as C: (operating system, programs, etc.) and E: (data, other programs). The second is a Toshiba MK1637GSX. This little about it and nothing of any importance and is normally configured as d. Unfortunately this hard drive has now become invisible to Vista, although it is still recognized by BIOS and Device Manager. In managing computer does not appear in the list in the upper pane, it comes without a letter from reader below. I have tried everything I know to get recognized, including the following:
  (In no particular order):

  * Remove computer - managed, reset as a single Volume: it always fails
  * Reformat to NTFS using Linux GParted or utility disk Linux (via a USB stick with Linux ice Peppermint on that nerd), sometimes combined with the restoration of the system - it works, but only for a single session. She always disappears again when you restart
  * Remove the driver from Device Manager and pointing plug-and-play with Windows System 32 and Windows Update - which seems to return the driver - but does not recognized disk, unfortunately
  * Meanwhile, throughout all this, Vista insists on finding a driver for "unknown device" that she sometimes found and (allegedly) installs and sometimes find one fails to install.

  Bah!

  Anyone know anything else I can try - preferably without having to reinstall the entire operating system, or run the risk of using Toshiba Hardware Setup that does not seem to come with all the instructions and enigmatic, who wonder if I want to delete stuff 'selected', without showing me what kind of things I am alleged to have selected for removal!

  Best
  David

  If this second HDD is not so important to try to start the original installation disk Microsoft (Vista or Win7) to see if the second HDD will be recognized for the installation procedure.
  You can also try to install Win7 on this second HDD to see if the installation is correctly finalized. Later, you can check if you can start the second HARD drive preinstalled OS.

  Test just to see if this problem is related to Vista only.

• Second installed hard drive is not seen by BIOS

  I have a computer "AMD A8 - 5500 3.2 GHz APU" - A8 Vision HP Pavilion

  BIOS v.7.10

  I installed a second SATA drive (a 3 to Seagate) and booted up the factory installed OS on the first SATA hard drive. The operating system has no problem see the car, so I installed a second operating system on a 700 GB partition on the second disk SATA. However, when I booted the system to complete the installation of the operating system, the BIOS could not see the second SATA drive. Start on the operating system on the first SATA hard drive, no problem, the operating system can see the second SATA drive. So, the problem occurs during startup. The BIOS will not see the second SATA drive.

  However, if I interrupt the BIOS at startup and go make a diagnosis (and I cancel that and not run the Diagnostics), all of a sudden, the BIOS can see the 2nd SATA drive and I can boot on it. Interrupt the normal BIOS boot and enter the setup of BIOS and then canceling, will be 100% of the time cause the BIOS to see the second SATA drive. If I do not do this, the BIOS did not see the other disk SATA 100% of the time. It is a real nuisance.

  I looked for a BIOS update version (assuming that it was a a bug is identified with a newer version of the BIOS), but can't seem to find anything.

  Does anyone know how to fix this?

  Thank you

  SFMChris

  I don't think that it has nothing to do with the "Windows Boot Loader (Winload.exe or is)". However, I try and run a ' bcdedit/set {GUID} path \windows\system32\winload.exe"produces a non-Boot OS (even if I tried to use my current solution by interrupting the BIOS at startup).

  This is the current behavior that I see when I hit ESC to get into the BIOS setup (you have a window of less than 2 seconds to hit this key before the WIndows boot loader menu appears). The paths to the settings in the BIOS menu, followed by the parameters that I see are:

  * Start menu

  -Shows only SATA0

  * Computer Configuration > storage > Configuration of the device

  -Shows only SATA0

  * Computer Configuration > storage > boot order > Legacy Boot Sources

  -Shows only SATA0

  * Computer Configuration > storage > DPS self test

  -Displays SATA0 and SATA1?

  UPDATE:

  I just found the fix (HP devs should fix this bug so).

  SOLUTION:

  I did change the following BIOS:

  * Computer Configuration > storage > advanced > Power Options

  -POST time (in seconds) 5

  Parameters of a POSITION to delay (from the default of almost no delay at 5 seconds) solves the problem. In fact, if I wait 3-4 seconds late and then press the ESC key to enter the BIOS setup, everywhere I saw "Shows only SATA0" above before, is now showing SATA0 and SATA1. Everything is looking and working as I expect to. problem solved.

  Thanks to everyone who tried to help him.

• Re: How can I add a second internal hard drive to a Satellite Pro P200?

  I have a Satellite Pro P200 with a single internal hard drive. There is a second Bay in the computer of another internal hard drive, but I couldn't find any information about it. There is enough space for a 2.5 "SATA but I do not see a connector.

  I contacted Toshiba Dutch customer service who said that it was official policy not to provide any information on a second internal drive. They also said that they would not provide parts to make it possible.

  Can anyone provide more information?

  Hello!

  I think that if there is no connector you cannot add a second HDD.
  It of Nice to have a second Bay, but it's nothing without a connector.

  Good bye

• Difficulty to install Windows XP because of the missing HARD drive driver

  Hello

  I recently bought a P200-1 and I try to install Windows XP instead of Vista.
  I bought Windows XP Home Edition. Installation was first arrested for lack of HARD disk drive.
  Classic message: «Setup didn't find any hard drives installed in your computer»
  I downloaded Toshiba support "Intel Matrix Storage Manager" (pilot: ICH8M_32bits).

  The contents of this directory was extracted to the root of a disk.
  I restart my PC with XP CD-Rom and floppy drive connected. Setup download SATA AHCI floppy driver (press F6, and then later S key).
  The installer can read disks and partitions and offers the choice of a partition for the installation of XP system.

  After you have selected a partition, the installation begins and the installation program asks to insert "Intel Matrix Storage Manager" in drive A.
  Here's the problem: floppy drive not responding, disk is not read and XP installation stops.
  Ask for a second time to insert the floppy is suspect because he thought the driver drive HARD has already been read successfully.

  What can I do now?

  Thank you for your help

  JR

  Hello

  The problem might be that you have formatted the HARD drive (partition) or created a new partition after the installation of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
  In this case the formatting removes the driver from the HARD drive.

  Another possibility is the use of software called nLite. This software allows to include the SATA driver in the XP installation CD.

  Simply search for nLite and you will get lots of useful details.

• HP dv7 6b51ea: hp dv7 6b51ea, install second SSD hard drive HELP

  
  

  Yes, the cable's owner. HP recovery will not install the software from the factory to a 256 gigabytes as the SSD drive, you want to buy. I understand perfectly what you want to do and I try to help you to do so after doing it myself several times. In the hope of you help get through the common pitfalls.

  This is the cable you need on eBay UK:

  Now let's work on getting to the supported Windows 7 installation if you install it on your Virgin SSD. You are going to need some sort of media set as an external hard drive. We need to get the HDD 1 TB in the Bay of primary and get Windows 7 running on it. The HP recovery disk will work for this.

• You can a second Sata hard drive in the M series?

  Hello

  Can I install a second hard drive in the M series?

  In particular, I would like to install a Seagate Barracuda SATA 1 TB drive.

  I know he has a Bay, but I can shelter the disc in another case.

  Thank you

  I think it depends on the version of the m series that you have.

  the series m72e (small footprint); There is only a single 3.5 "sata bay.

  on the motherboard there are 3 sata headers (cd player / hard drive + 1 other).

  the way I did it was to order a double silverstone 2.5-online adapter disk 3,5 '' screwed into the slot of the drive (be careful; not all Player cards have lower fastening screws).

  This allowed me to put a ssd 2.5 "and a 2.5 hard drive" in the case.

  otherwise, it would be pretty tight/impossible to squeeze in 2 size 3.5 "hard drives in the m72e
