T410 - using the Hard Drive Bay adapter III series

• ThinkPad series Hard Drive Bay adapter III as main hard drive?

  Hi all

  my work laptop is a 400 T running on Win XP. I would like to start an installation of Windows 7 on a hard drive physical which is not possible with my employer in the near future.

  My idea is now to have a second HD in the Hard Drive Bay adapter III series (let's say that the)

  ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive of 320 GB at 7200 RPM) on which I'd install Win 7. I would then configure the adapter Bay to be the first HD to boot from. I would reconfigure the system to use the internal HD every time I need Win XP with the company of my other stuff.

  I don't want to install Win 7 in another partition I want to take the risk of what going to the XP machine ;-)

  The scenario described above is valid or I have to take account of anything else?

  Thanks in advance!

  saschabeltz, welcome to the forum,

  as the States of cassio , you can boot from a hard drive in the Bay adapter. The best way to do it, after you install in the main Bay is to press F12 at startup; This will allow you to choose the device you want to boot from.

• ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay fit III 43N3412 for T61

  Anyone know if this adapter works for T61?

  So far I couldn't find this "40Y8725 ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter" on the site that says work for T61.  But I thought Ultrabay options are supposed to be interchangeable? I hope that this is the case.

  I prefer to buy the newer model if it is compatible for the T61.

  It's one of the T61. Ultrabay slim housing uses a PATA connectio to the motherboard of the laptop, so the adapter you buy contains a SATA to PATA chip to allow you to use a SATA hard drive.

  While the new thinkpads, T400, T500, R400, R500, X 200, W500 all use a SATA connection on the motherboard of the laptop, so the device ultrabay for previous machines are not physically compatible. This move is due to the need to allow full support SATAII.

• Using the HARD drive of a Tecra A4 as a for another laptop external HARD drive.

  I have a Toshiba Tecra A4. I want to use the HARD drive as a second hard drive to another laptop, but it seemed to me that the HDD in Tecra A4 has a special bond that does not fit in a standard externel HDD-Bay. Anyone know how I can use the HARD Tecra A4 drive as an external HARD drive?

  Subquestion: is it not possible to use a 2.5 "HARD drive normal in a Toshiba Tecra A4?

  Hello

  AFAIK Tecra A4 has 2.5 inch HDD inside. But the HARD drive has another connector HARD drive that you can remove. The HARD drive is placed in the HARD drive chassis and fixed with four screws. Remove the screw and the connector. Be very carefully and take it easy.

  After that you can use in other laptops.

• Second Hard Drive Bay Adapter compatibility - T530

  Hello

  I intend to buy the secondary Bay adapter for my Lenovo Thinkpad T530.

  What would be the most important I should consider before ordering the adapter and HARD drive?

  The Ultrabay adapter comes in two 12.7 mm and 9.5 mm thickness. Your T530 uses the 12.7 mm. You can save money by buying an adapter clone on eBay.

  Here is a video of a manufacturer of clone cards which shows how to install the HARD drive on the adaoter and the adapter in and out the ThinkPad:

• I can't activate my real Vista on 'New' material by using the hard drive of my old hardware

  OK, I got a laptop comes pre-loaded with windows Vista and it has got water damage and shorted, the hard drive however is in good working condition. I bought a laptop replacement because I didn't want to be on another computer that someone else would break anyway.

  so I bought this used the laptop from a friend that he would use to intnet and games, she had similar specs as my old laptop except the proccessor was different but similar speed and what not. what I want to do is to install the hard drive from my old with Vista genuine in this 'new' computer that has a hard drive in a way smaller and is loaded with XP.

  compatible sound and I have already, but it asks me for my product key that I have but it says its wrong (I guess as its headquarters in the old hardware) so is there a way to unregister the old hardware or upgrade my hardware information in order to use my old hard drive and keep my status as a true?

  not only is a HDD larger but its quicker and there all my files ive been without for more than a year now and frankly I need it back so bad at this point

  Thank you thank you

  Sorry, but versions OEM of Windows Vista cannot be transferred to another computer.  The license is permanently tied to the original computer, it has been installed and activated on. Carey Frisch

• Tecra M5: How to use the HARD drive password when the HARD drive is connected as an external device?

  I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 with MK1032GSX hard disk. I put a bios password and HARD drive password. Every day I turn on my laptop with my password a number only once: unlock the disk and bios. The password screen is before windows starts.

  One day my laptop motherboard is broken, I bring my pc on the Toshiba support center (less disc) and I'm waiting for him (2 months ago). I need to read my date of the disc, but it is locked by password. The drive is a SATA drive, I put it on a desktop computer and I see it in the bios and in windows resource device, but I do not see in the Explorer.

  None of the software I've tried (HDD unlock, atapwd...) will not work. I have my password, I have not forgotten.

  How to read my date? Can you help me?
  Thank you.

  Hi Oscar

  Hmmm I m not 100% sure, but I think that it s not possible to remove the HARD drive HARD drive password if you haven t your laptop.
  I know that if the HARD drive password has been set the HARD drive is not more accessible and more usable.

• Disk W530 Hard Drive Bay Adapter problem

  W530 ordered on 14/01/2014. I replaced the 500 GB with a SSD hard drive and wanted to use the reader HGST it came with a disc of Nimitz adapter. I can delete the partition and create a new volume, but it fails during format. It fails even when it is formatted a ready to use.

  I have a 250 GB drive at 5400 RPM Hitachi which works very well in the Bay. With the help of a USB drive Bay I can delete the volume and rebuild the drive of 500 GB. Why do I have a problem with this drive in the drive Bay?

  I plugged the hot formatted disk and it lights up immediately, I backup on it now. I don't know why I got so many problems earlier.

  Thanks for the reply.

• Win7 doesn't detect the HARD drive Bay upgrade

  When I took the DVD player (which works fine) and put it HDD, Windows 7 does not detect this disc HARD (it does not appear in 'My Computer' or computer management-> storage) but it is detected in linux (parted magic), in the box to the USB and when I open Intel Rapid Storage it's show here.

  Do you have any idea what past?

  My laptop:

  8470w

  Upgrade Bay is enabled in the bios

  I replaced: 1x4Go-> 2x8GB RAM, 640 GB-> 1 TB HARD drive

  added mSata SSD

  I'm trying to replace the DVD drive for the third HARD drive

  I'm sorry, but to get your question more exposure I suggest posting in the trade forums since it is a commercial product. You can do so at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .

  I hope this helps.

• HP Pavilion dv9700: replacement for the hard drive DV9700 adapter.

  Hello, I put a new 1 TB HDD in my laptop of co-workers for her and comes to know there is no adapter on two hard disks to connect to the motherboard, where can I get one of these adapters? I saw a post not a few minutes ago, but he didn't say where I can get a.

  NO, I don't want the caddy, I mean the slip which connects the SATA plugs weird connections inside the bays 1 and 2.

  In addition, why in the world did you choose to use these connections owners, have you tried to set a new standard or something? Now, my co worker must wait for God knows how long it will take to get his laptop in working condition.  I'm so happy that I chose Custom build my personal computers.

  What happened to the original one?

  I found this, seems to be the best price even if you don't need the Caddy

• T430s - height of the hard drive Bay

  I have a Corsair Force 3 SSD http://www.corsair.com/en/ssd/force-series-3-ssd/force-series-3-notebook-upgrade-kit-240gb-sata-3-6g... who doesn't want to adapt. It is very close, but is scraping along the inside edge near the narrow end of the laptop, and without using much more force, he doesn't want to adapt. By specifications, is with a height of 7mm SSD... he should not go up?

  Takes a compass at her, and she > 9mm, not even close of 7.

  Well * beep *... which was probably easier than registering for the forum.

• Using the hard drive on HP Proliant after installing VSPhere ESXi 5

  I recently installed VSphere ESXi 5 on a HP Proliant server. I've migrated several virtual machines successfully on, with access via client vsphere. I'm trying to find out whether the server is in Raid 5. I called HP and they said that the only way to know is to insert the smart startup disk. I inserted, but I don't know how to access the disk. I know this is probably very simple, but I'm lost. Thanks for your help.

  It depends on if you a raid controller enough disks and supported your server to take a RAID5 configuration.

  Download the HP smart start ISO, ILO mount or burn a CD to boot off the coast so that you can launch the utility of configuration of matrices (ACU). It's really something that should have been done before the ESXi installation.

  See the example below;

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  Can anyone confirm that ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter III (43N3412) works for the Thinkpad Edge S430?

  Or if not, what adapter Bay works? I've looked everywhere and I can't find this information...

  Also if you know, just 9.5 mm HD work?

  Thank you!

  s430 Lenovo uses an adapter special bay, the one you listed is for the classic model of ThinkPads.

  Lenovo do not sell Bay adapter separately.
