T410s Ultrabay problem - hard drive requires more power

I'm working on upgrading a T410s to give it as a gift to my girlfriend. I've already upgraded the ram and had to replace the screen and both went very well.

Now, I'm working on adding a second hard drive with the ultrabay. I'll keep the original SSD as my boot drive and you want to use the ultrabay for a normal HARD drive to increase the total space for her. It is a graphic design / photography major space would be nice.

I bought a 3rd party caddy and a WD Black 750 g 7200 RPM drive through Amazon. I followed the advice that I heard somewhere that you need to make a shortcut of the old EVD to access the new hard disk drive. When I installed the ultrabay and booted up, the computer could not access E:. Nothing happened.

I heard somewhere else ultrabay housing could use only 5 units of power (I don't know if it was watts or volts) and therefore the WD black drive series, I got is likely to need more power to operate (9-12 units). This noise to anyone who has installed a ultrabay correct? Maybe at the time where the T410s first came out, most hard drives use more than 5 units?

Any recommendations? Thank you!

I don't know what are the units of power, and I never heard of the the ultrabay on a T410s not giving a hard drive of all the power he needs. I must admit that I am very skeptical about the claim that you read.

Perhaps the drive has not been initialized because it's new? If you are on Windows 7, click the Start button and type "create and format" in the search bar. You should see the drive it so that it can be initialized. Another way to get there is by going to control panel > administrative tools > computer management > disk management.

  • T410 Ultrabay Second hard drive

    I just bought a T410 running Windows 7 and want to be able to boot from a hard drive installed in the Ultrabay slot. I have a hard drive that has been configured for a Dell D620 Windows XP. I installed this drive in the Ultrabay slot. When I boot the T410 I press F12 to select my boot drive. It recognizes the drive hard into the Ultrabay slot, but fair, the display shuts off and will not start. If I let start the computer normally, I can see all the files on the hard drive in the Ultrabay slot. I'm just missing drivers on the hard drive of the D620? Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    the hard disk configured for computers dell laptops won't start in a Thinkpad, you will have to reinstall everything under Thinkpad on this hard drive to be able to run.

  • External hard drive is more readable by Mac.

    Hello

    I have an external hard drive, 2 TB WD My Passport and I have a lot of things out there that I have collected over the past 2 years. When I had OS X Yosemite, I took everything out of it and reformatted it so I could more than just read the documents there and it worked perfectly. Once I upgraded to El Capitan head drive no longer works with my mac and I don't know anyone else with a mac to try to recover the files. When I plug the hard drive, it says "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer." and then it gives me three options: initialize..., ignore and eject. I don't know what to do, I'd be more than happy to reformat, but I have to delete it before doing this and I really don't want to lose all my documents. Is there a solution to this problem other than to lose all my documents and reformat the hard drive?

    Thank you very much to everybody and all those who take the time to watch and help with this problem!

    Click on ignore and try to repair it with disk utility.

    However, the player may be dead and you will need a type of service or file recovery software to recover the data.

  • Satellite T130 - stuck on the loading screen - new hard drive required

    After a message on the screen saying back up your hard drive, it will fail quickly and pressing F1 it seems so stuck on the loading screen. I'm not too good with computers. I just have to buy a new hard drive to get the laptop working again, or is much more complicated than that. My guess is this one.

    Thanks in advance for any help provided

    The first question is: did you create recovery media (USB key)?
    If do not do this if for a long time your HARD drive works OK. original recovery image is saved on the HARD drive, but you must have it USB backup that you can use to install if the disk needs to be replaced.
    Do it as soon as possible. More info on what you can read in s operating manuals.

    What to do with the HARD drive? In my opinion if long as it works it has no reason to panic. Use your laptop as usual. If you notice some performance or more error messages problems I think that you should replace it.

    Replacing the HARD drive doesn't have to be so problematic. HARD drive cover must be placed in the lower corner of your laptop. The smallest is RAM and cotyledon should be for the HARD drive. Check it out.

    Before do you that this is remove the battery and unplug your computer laptop AC adapter / CC.

    If you have no experience with such things please don't made some risky step. You can damage something.

  • W520 Ultrabay second hard drive adapter

    Hello

    I just bought a W520 and I would had an SSD.

    The idea is to remove the current HARD drive, place a SSD in place, remove the optical drive Ultra Bay and place the (deleted) HARD drive. I would like to know if I should order an adapter to connect the HARD drive in the Bay of the Ultra.

    I found this: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/frweb/LenovoPortal/fr_FR/catalog.workflow:item.detai...

    I called Lenovo French support center but they say clearly.

    Thanks for your time.

    Hello BGI:

    Personally, I don't think it's a problem that the UltraBay tape for the hard drive is shorter than 3 mm slot.  My guess (strictly a guess), it's that there are other models of laptops Lenovo out there who cannot accept a high 9 mm UltraBay object and makes Lenovo a deliberate choice to ensure that the UltraBay tapes would fit into all different machines - rather than having a second version that only fit in series W520.

    The tape drive does not come with the computer (the computer comes with a CD/DVD player, except if you have ordered a RAID instead).  The tape drive is an option that must be controlled.  I ordered mine as I placed the order for the computer.

  • USB (external hard drive) device no power down / off when safely removed in Windows 7

    Well, I asked this question and no one seems to respond, I also found that many people want to solve this problem so here, it's once again

    Whne you have a hard drive that is not a switch on/off button that you who wait when you remove safely from the windows, he stops, so you shouldn't have to disconnect form the usb slot to do.
    And it happens in WIndows XP, but it is NOT in Windows 7 (or that I read, in Vista as well).

    I want to know, because it bothers me really, what is the solution?

    What I want is, after I click on "remove" my external hard drive, that what he would have turned off (standby) as it does in Windows XP!

    Help please.

    Hi gala,.

    Thank you for visiting the community Microsoft Windows 7.  The feature remove the device safely does not power supplied to a USB device in Windows. By design, the port to which the device is attached is not interrupted in Windows when the unit is softer.

    Please let us know if this helped.

  • Possible problem HARD drive - by clicking on the sound and the system hangs on Qosmio G30 - 116

    Hello

    I just got my G30-116 return of service (replacement of the screen) and after 2 days another problem. He just continues to hang out.

    I do not change a thing since I got it and now it just stop working on things sometimes like browsing the internet. It has not happened before. And my biggest concern is the trigger that made my hard drive.

    What can be wrong? It not crash until I have it sent to the service, I think that my hard drive is defective... Thank you

    What to say? If you can not find out why freeze the problem occurs, try to preinstall the operating system with recovery DVDs delivered.

    In any case, from your description, I'm afraid there is a serious problem with HARD drive and it can be simply worse then now. Please be sure that your data is backed up.

    Please contact service again and explain the situation. If the HARD drive is faulty, you will get a new, and if they have the HARD drive on stock, it can be replaced very quickly. G30 is lovely and I hope that you will be satisfied. A few days ago my friend visited me and we have tested his G30 with HD-DVD player on my LCD TV. I can tell you one thing: I am really impressed with the HD picture quality.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite C665D - the second time the same problem HARD drive.

    I have a laptop C665D. Eight months after I buy, I had hard drive problem (reallocated sector count-> value about 2000!).
    So I send to the service and got with the new hard drive.

    And now, after 7 months, but I have the same problem, (down hard drive).

    My question is why this happens two times, this same defect?
    Anyone had this same problem?
    Is a problem with this series of laptops?
    Can I do something to avoid damage to the next (third) disc?

    Thanks for any help.

    > So my question is why this happens two times, this same defect?

    Any HARD drive is going to die sooner or later, the HARD drive is not reusable part.
    Read and write data to the HARD disk would cause the head moving in many cases, the disk dies because of the head crash.
    Moving the laptop while the disk is in use would affect the functionality of the HARD drive.

    On my laptop I have a utility called installed HARD disk protection tool.
    HDD Protection detects the vibrations, shocks and similar signs in the PC and the disk head moves automatically to a safe position to reduce the risk of damage that might be caused by the contact of the head-to-disk.

    Advise to use such tool too

    By the way: HARD drive problems have nothing to do with the series of laptop

  • I can't see my hard drives partition more :-/

    Hello

    I can see is no longer a partition that I had on an external drive. I know that this probably isn't the best thing to do, but I had a backup time machine on this partition (such as one on my hard drive to the Mac).  I think I've ejected the drive not correctly once, and since the partition of time machine no longer appears

    Disk utility does not launch or that hard drive is plugged so I can't reformat it even :-/

    If anyone knows any more options?

    Thank you very much

    Nick

    You can try to disconnect your external drive, reboot into Recovery Mode (command-R), and OS X Utilities launch disk utilitymenu, connect your external drive and see if you can format.

    I purchased Drive Genius 4 OWC (Macsales.com) and had something similar happens where I could see all the partitions on the external drive but could not repartition or delete one of them. With Drive Genius, I was able to repartition and format. So, you might need a 3rd party app like Disk Warrior and Drive Genius (trial download) to manipulate your external drive.

  • Pavilion dv7-4000 1 replacement of hard drives with more

    I have a dv7-4000 series double portable hard drive running windows 7 64 bit. One of the drives died and I am looking to buy a replacement and want to upgrade, but I'm not sure if I have 2 hard disks of different sizes.

    (1) can I replace factory bad HARD drive with a larger 320? (I'd then 1 factory 320 GB drive and 1 car again, more)

    (2) is the brand of the material of hard drive (Toshiba courses)?

    (3) are there any specific specs I should look for or avoid (ie. rpm, Gbps, etc.)?

    Hi wweksjk! : Yes, you can have 2 HD with different capacities for example on my PC of Xion MSI, which was built in 2006, I had 2 HD Western Digital, respectively 160 GB & 250 GB divided into 3 partitions

    the brand name is not as important as the number of turns faster the car turns your computer will be faster

    also look at the size of the buffer on the disk as well because the more it will speed up the boot time as well

    However install a new drive as boot drive will be complex, but if you follow the instructions that come with the HD installer it is possible

    for example, a 7200 RPM drive is faster than a 5400 RPM, but not as fast as a model k 10 or 15 k

    Good luck

    hope this helps to & help

    Happy holidays!

  • Hard drive get more complete without me to add what whatsoever

    Hey

    I recently noticed that my 60 gig C: drive becomes more complete at the time. I'm not adding anything to it because I installed all my games on my D drive which is 1 TB. I have norton 2010 is installed with updates, so I doubt that it is a virus. Everyone knows this too and ideas of how to deal?

    Thank you!

    Hi Alex,

    Two files to check:

    (1) C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, updates can be found here and after installation should be removed. Sometimes they are not causing the file to grow.

    (2) C:\Windows\Winsxs, this folder often grows when the software is installed because it provides a way to allow several files images required by each of these programs (at the time of Win9x as "dll _"). Really impossible to remove whatever it is here if you want your software to run properly, but that would explain why you live with loss of disk space.

  • T43P problem hard drive.

    had my thinkpad through ancient times, and it seems that my hard drive has had a good go, but won't go with me more, struggling to install guard things (including operating systems) is missing a /bluescreen boot file, so I ask you, as I don't use my thinkpad for reading the news online etc I don't want to use a large sum of money for something I really whon can't use it much , so my question is the following:

    Is there any way to buy a hard drive in an IBM Thinkpad T43p? Can I change the disk myself, and I live in Norway, so should be a way to ship here if so.

    Thanks in advance, Leo

    You can use ANY portable PATA/IDE 2.5 ", but the vast majority of them will give you an error '2010' at the start, not a big deal if you ask me.

    Good luck.

  • X 40-replacement hard drive for more capacity - CD

    I have a 40 X, which works fine, but I continue to faced with 15 GB hard drive capacity, so now have a replacement of 60 GB.

    Find a CD with Windows XP and especially the drivers on this subject, I can't.  Looking at the other sections of the forum, I start to think that a CD was not necessarily initially sent with the X 40.

    If this is not the case, how can I create a CD with the drivers and the Windows original XP?

    If a CD is provided with the system, how can I get a replacement if outside the warranty period?

    I had the same problem with my x 40. I bought a device cloning for 45.00 on ebay and was able to clone the larger hard drive and it worked. It validates, it is still a legal system as far as microsoft is concerned. I used it on ibms, valleys and a gateway. what you do, is leave your old hard drive in your computer and attach your new appliance of cloning. He will hold through the usb port and will copy all of your old drive to the new. It will leave everything on your old drive and you can keep it for a backup in case something happens to the new. the device is called an alley to apricorn, the accompanying software is called ez gig II cloning software. There are 3 different connections on the device you can clone any hard drive that is done.  your drivers will copy, your files, movies, all programs, it will be just copied to the new.  If you don't want to install the software on your old drive because you do not have the room for it, you can go into bios and set your computer to boot from a cd drive, and you can start from the cloning software.  It takes about half an hour to clone your drive.  I was buy x40s on ebay without hard drives and cloning of new readers with my original drive and then install the new readers and all valid by microsoft. It works really, and I believe that it's the only way to do it.  Apricorn has a web site where you can no doubt but it but its cheaper on ebay.

  • T410 - using the Hard Drive Bay adapter III series

    I have looked in getting more storage data on my t410 and had a few questions about the adaptation of the dvd to the HARD disk to use. (1) the t410 certainly does support the adapter? (2) will the adapter supports all 9.5 mm HDD 2.5 "? can I use a 7200 RPM drive? (3) this configuration supports protection against shock, as the HARD disk drive Bay original? (4) is there anything else I should consider? THX in advance

    ended up finding the Hitachi Travelstar 2.5 750 GB 7200 RPM SATA II 16 MB Cache internal hard - 0S 03339 and Thinkpad Sata HD Bay adapter 3, both from Amazon. the model # on the Amazon unit is the same as the one on the Lenovo site, but was $30 cheaper. Ran $89,99, vs. $61,17 for the 500 GB Hitachi 750 GB... I hope it works like the 500 GB
