Secondary hard disk access

After formatting drive (drive 0), and re - install Windows XP, I find no more the second hard disk (disk 1).

The two discs are identified in bios, but only the main will appear in "my computer". In disk management, disk 1 is shown as foreign and dynamic. The only option is to convert it to a basic disk that will remove all information.

What are my options to save the 30 GB of information on this subject.

What types of drives are these, SATA, IDE?

You have the jumpers set correctly, if they have? Master or slave, Cable Select No.

The disk hard disk 1 was working fine before this?

You can start with a bootable floppy and see if he can see both hard drives.

    You must remove the hard drive and get a hard drive of the computer laptop usb adapter and plug it into another computer to copy and paste the files that you want on the other computer.

    Here is the Manual:

    This is the kind of card you need:

  • Secondary hard disk to 'system '?

    I have several hard drives in my PC. Disk management tells me that the C: drive is "Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, primary Partition, as it should be, and I expect other readers to simply be"Primary Partition"normally." However, my drive H: is "System, active, primary Partition" - and indeed, when I unplugged once, the computer failed to load Windows.

    Why is this crucial disc to my PC run, and that means that I can't replace it? I think the drive has failed and if it means that I have to reinstall Windows 7 I will be very annoyed. If I need, I will be able to copy the files on it on a larger replacement disk and keep the computer running?
    Thank you
    Mike

    Hello

    By reading your description, why don' t you consider to use a third-party partition management tool to help you manage your disks? There are free programs that work. I just resize my partition and change the State of the partition that I needed (logical change of primary partition and then as active). Indeed, I have much enjoyed. Now I share with you what I found this software useful in

    I hope it can help you!

  • Hard disk access

    I had the HARD drive failure and installed a replacement for labour maching.  I installed the old drive to get some useful files on the drive.  The computer recognizes the drive as drive E.  When I try to access the drive it says that is not accessible access is denied.

    Is there an easy way to access this drive to try to recover the data?  Thank you

    The key is to know what is the file format that the older player is used for example ntfs, fat, or fat32.

  • Attached external HARD disk access

    I recently removed a HDD from an old PC and put it in an envelope. An attempt to access certain documents, it is "access denied." I tried to change the permissions in the Security tab, but they handed to hidden / locked.

    Hello

     

    A gray folder appears usually when a file is 'hidden' and you have enabled the option to show files and folders hidden in Folder Options. Not being is not able to view the content of this file is most likely a permissions problem. The solution to this depends on if you have XP Home Edition or XP Professional.

  • Try to add a new hard disk to m7657c

    So, after about 6 years, we you're still enjoying our Media Center Office and have made a few updates here and there (OS, graphics card, etc.). Now, we're tired of running out of disk space and want to add a new hard drive. Now, according to the specifications of the product (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00794034), we should have two internal drive bays 3.5 ". Which one should be available. Where is located the?

    I have removed the side and before the panels, can see where the existing HARD drive is mounted on the side of the Bay of media player owner, but I can't find any other anchor point to place a secondary HARD disk. There is a lot of power open and SATA connections, but I am at a loss to find a Bay.

    Before the wreck I have my system trying to kluge something together, I want to know where the available Bay is supposed to exist.

  • SP3 XP hangs when disk access

    XP crashes after a few seconds during disk access, even when running in Mode safe or started at the command prompt, but faster in normal mode

    I guess you are talking about hard disk access and not a CD/DVD disc access. If I'm not mistaken, your hard drive is probably faulty and you should test it.

    Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

    Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

    On tests of hardware failures often alleged swapping parts by parts checked. If you can not do the test yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).

  • Can I install and use your Adobe products on a secondary hard drive?

    Hello, I have my operating system files and the program installed on a 128 GB SSD and I have a 1 to secondary HARD disk. I want to avoid filling this SSD as much as possible. Y at - it an option during the installation of your Adobe products (which?) to install and use in a drive and folder on the secondary drive?

    Simply choose a custom installation and choose another location to a folder on your secondary drive. just be aware that some components such as the activation system and other shared stuff will be always installed on C:\, whatever happens. You are lgoing stil to lose at least 1 GB on your SSD.

  • Location of the bookmarks on an old hardrive that is not Windows, running but the old hard disk files are accessed through another hard drive.

    The old hard disk does not run Windows, so access to the usual file through Windows Explorer or Firefox has not worked for me. The old hard drive is now a slave drive and all files are intact and accessible via the new Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

    You have Windows configured to display the hidden files and folders? If not, do it as soon as the first. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7

    Then, what version of Windows do you have on the old drive? Your profile folder must be on the way there:

    Windows XP and earlier versions:

    \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Windows Vista and later:

    \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    If you find multiple profile folders, see the recent order. You find a subfolder named bookmarkbackups. This article describes how to restore the .json files, you will find: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.

    A HP dv9000 has an extra slot for a hard disk secondary?  Thank you.

    Hello

    Yes. There can be no slot for a secondary hard drive.

    You will need to purchase a Kit secondary hard drive hardware HP p/n 448304-001 to keep the hard drive in place inside.

    Using SSD for a boot drive is a great idea. This is the configuration of the desktop that I use. Power a Windows login session takes about 15 seconds.

  • access all information on the hard disk for all users.

    I tried to set up a link today from my new laptop computer Windows 7 my most top of desktop running vista.  The liaison program stated that the administrator on my old computer was only a temporary user.  I tried to set up the account as a permanent user without realizing that it would replace the current account.  I have now no access to programs from hard drive of the main user I was using.  I was wondering if there is anything I can do to access the hard disk with this user and import files?  I forgot almost all programs appear on the computer but open to anything.

    Hi kismet.

    1. What do you mean by link program?

    2. What have you tried to do?

    3. how many accounts do you currently on the computer and what are they?

    4. what happens when you try to access the files on the hard drive?

    It seems that you do not have permissions to access the files on the hard drive.

    I suggest that take you the files and folder try to access.

    To take ownership of a folder

    (a) right click on the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.

    (b) click on the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.

    (c) click on Edit. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    (d) click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.

    (e) If you want that person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the check box Replace owner subcontainers and objects .

    (f) click OK.
