• I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?

  I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?  Somewhere in the 320 to 500 GB range and I want a quick unit because it will be used for rendering videos.    Thank you for your response.

  Hello

  How fast is fast is the real question.

  Have you looked at hybrid drives OCZ? Expensive but probably the fastest option.

  Seagate also made a hybrid hard drive.  Good price... You will need a 3.5 "to 2.5" support if the player does not support.  If you install the drive in an empty optical Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 2.5" support.

  Your other choice is 7 200 or 10 000 rpm traditional hard drives.

  Another option would be to add a PCI sata and two external hard dirves configured in RAID 0.

• Using the IDE & SATA hard drives on the same system

  My system: Vostro 400 desktop, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.3 GHz, Windows XP Home Edition.

  Situation: I use a SATA hard drive and the DVD drive is SATA. I want to add an IDE hard drive (from my old computer) to this system. I can't find any IDE cable or even an IDE port on the motherboard to add an IDE cable for a hard drive.

  Question: Is it possible to add an IDE hard drive to this computer and run hard IDE and SATA drives simultaneously?

  
  

• is there a slide in the hard drive for hp pavilion m8013w

  I want to load windows 8.1 on my current hp pavilion m8013w but, don't want to erase Vista with all my data on the current hard drive.

  So I think to install a hard drive "slide in" front loading slot and on the hard disk and then move all my data of visited.

  Anyone know what I should do when shopping for a slide in the hard drive.  is there a model number?

  Peace!

  Isely, welcome to the forum.

  Have you run the Wizard upgrade of Windows 8 to ensure that the components of the computer are compatible with Win 8.1?  It is available in the link I have provided.

  I am not sure what you mean by a hard drive "slide in".  You hear a "Personal Media Drive"?  If so, I can't find one any where.

  If the computer is compatible with Win 8.1, it would be easier to buy a SATA hard drive.  You can use the FREE copy of Aomei Partion Wizard to transfer your BONES and your data.  I downloaded it to see what it will do.  It seems to be a great program.  You should read all the 'tutorials' which are provided.

• Adding 3rd hard drive for HP Pavilion Elite m9250f

  I have a Pavilion Elite m9250f running Windows Vista Home 64 bit. The computer currently has two 500 GB hard drives for a total capacity of 1 TB. I would like to add a third drive to increase storage capacity.  I have a SATA to 2 to and cables. When I tried to install the new drive above the two existing disks, he did not slide smoothly. When I removed the already highest reader, I could slide the new drive into but the screws are not line up properly with the new drive. This leads me to believe that I can not install a third drive in the Bay. Is this a correct assumption?

  I have an available expansion Bay below the optical drive but am not sure that it is usable for a hard drive. If the use of the expansion Bay is possible, do I have to buy a hook or how to mount the drive in this space?

  If necessary, I can copy the data from the secondary drive on an external drive and replace it with the new drive. However, I need confirmation that the secondary is the player in the foreground of both in the hard disc enclosure.

  Thank you for your help.

  If the task under the existing optical Bay is open, just use an adapter to fill the space and to mount the drive in there.  Make sure of course that there is a power cord and a SATA port.

  Here is an example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816119027

• Second hard drive for HP pavilion laptop solutionn

  Hello:

  I got a Pavilion dv7-4173us laptop in ealy December 2010 a few weeks ago...

  I also want to add a 2nd drive hard because I can't use the first hard drive

  for LINUX.

  All 4 primary partitions on the first hard disk is already used by HP to the following partition names:

  (C) windows, HP_TOOLS, RECOVERY, SYSTEM.

  I don't understand why HP has to exhaust all primary partitions.

  Most manufacturer only use towing.

  they could have put their tools and recovery files in a partition or combine withSYSTEM partition

  It seems that they do not want to support the Linux community...

  If anyone knows what primary partitions can I remove safely from the first hard drive, that would be great.

  In any case, the reason why I'm posting this is to ask if you successfully add a 2nd interal hard drive to the computer laptop dv7.

  I looked att he manul and it show where I can stable the 2nd hard drive.

  IMPORTANT observation:

  However, I notice the connector on the motherboard for the 2nd drive hard is not the same as the

  first hard drive. I also noticed there is no need of rails to support the 2nd drive hard because it it ca be mounted with a hard drive are the first screw.

  I hope that is not a connector owner.

  I would like to know what your HP solution?

  I spent about 4 + hours with HP tech and sales and still did not get a response...

  Service very poor customer... very bad for business.

  Maybe we need to know about... the Linux community bad customer service

• How to activate the faults COMMITTED to an internal SATA hard drive, but not the other, on Vista Home Premium 32-bit?

  I have a set of 17-inch laptop 2008 which contains two hard drive bays internal, purchased in June.  It came with a single hard drive (traditional spinning disc).  It is running Service Pack 2, Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

  My SATA controller is an Intel 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M family); I think it's a first-generation SATA controller (1.5 Gbps).

  I received recently a 160 GB Intel X - 25 M SSD (second generation SATA, but it is fully compatible with the first generation controllers, without additional or jumpers configuration) as a gift from my wife.  I removed my first hard drive completely, installed the SSD in the main Bay and installed Windows, drivers and the Intel SSD utility.  I then reinstalled my HDD original in the second span, completely wiped and reformatted it as a partition; It currently contains my music and other multimedia files.

  The utility Intel SSD tells me I should activate DIPM for my SSD as opposed to HIPM.  This seems to take a bit of tinkering to make Vista, and my situation is further complicated by the presence of my HARD drive (original) secondary, which prefer to use HIPM.

  I read the article on the Microsoft Web site on editing the registry to activate the misconduct, and it's something I would feel comfortable doing. However, I don't want my SSD to use DIPM, my HARD drive is expected to continue to use HIPM, and I was afraid that the proposed fix would allow the misconduct for all readers.

  Could someone let me know how I can activate DIPM for my SSD while continuing to use HIPM to my HARD drive, I'd be very grateful.

  EDIT: My Maintenance of SSD utility said simply that the State of the settings DIPM/HIPM "could not be determined." if Vista automatically selects the correct setting and the SSD utility does not just understand that, which makes my life a lot easier. but it would be nice to know for sure, so I can forget it all (if Vista already defined for me) or change the setting (if Vista did not automatically choose food appropriate for each disk management mode).

  You will need two SATA controllers: both on board or an edge and the other on PCI - E.

  Configure one who does not need TRIM/DIPM (do not use a SSD) as non-AHCI (compatible IDE/ATA-6) in the BIOS and the other (where TRIM/DIPM will be used) as AHCI.

  Connect the drive to which you DIPM AHCI controller. See http://www.abxzone.com/forums/f155/tip-how-enable-dipm-ssds-windows-120968.html for more information.

• Start HP DV9000 of the 2nd SATA HARD drive

  I have a HP DV9000 with Windows 7.  I cloned the original boot on a Hitachi 1 TB drive and, after hours of hacking and frustration (documented on another post), it now starts and works very well.  I then installed the original (bootable) 250 GB HARD drive in Bay 2 and it works fine - as a second data drive.

  Now, I want to be able to boot off of it (dual-boot).  'Change Boot Order' various options on the ESC and function keys and in the configuration allow you to change the order of * device-type * (CD, USB, SATA, NET), but no specific device * number *.  Therefore, I can choose "SATA Drive", as the primary boot device, and defaults to O Drive (first internal SATA).  There is no other choice I can find for a start on internal 1 (2nd SATA) drive.  Can I put thatsame drive in an external USB adapter and it start fine - but not as the 2nd intern.

  Someone at - he need one?

  Don't you have figured on the second Bay is not bootable. The second span is just for storage. It is actually a usb connection and is not a true SATA interface.

• Desktop HP Pavilion p6130y PC, installation of Windows 7 on the new SATA hard drive problem

  First of all, I can't find the model p6130y number on the HP Support.  The original hard drive came out and it was replaced with a Seagate SATA 850 GB drive, buy Windows 7 on DVD and I tried to install. Obtained through formatting the drive. Their only option now is to "Load a driver."  He says that I need to locate the HD driver on the media and press OK.  I can't find such an on installation disk so will try the find the right HD drivers for this model computer download on a USB key. Any ideas?

  Hello:

  Here is the link for the driver sata for your model:

  Just download it and do not run it.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=PV-77141-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4063&product=3980095&sw_lang=

  The motherboard in your model has major problems with the drives out and that the results in the hard drive and DVD drive from the BIOS endangered.

  It could happen to your model, it's why W7 cannot find the hard drive.

  You will need to download and install this free program.

  http://7-zip.org/

  After installing 7 - Zip, right-click on the Sata driver you downloaded and select 7 - zip option in the list.

  Select extract to: I leave extract the name of the file and extract the exe file in a folder of driver.

  Once you have the file, open it and copy the contents of the folder on a drive portable usb flash without the src folder.

  With the flash player and the installation of W7 media connected to the computer, boot from the installation of W7 media.

  After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

  You should now see the storage driver files listed.

  If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

  Follow the prompts and hopefully, W7 should install correctly.

• Add the second hard drive for HP Pavilion dv7-3173nr

  So rumor is my DV7 may take a second hard drive.

  So I got a second drive, open the bottom where the reader will, and there is no SATA connector. Apparently I need a shopping cart or something, but I can't. Am I missing something obvious?
  
  Thank you.

  Yes you need a shopping cart and a connector. The interface is not a standard SATA plug... There is a cable that connects the SATA drive in a small plug in the second Bay.

  Hello.

  I think you can install the drive and use your recovery disk to reinstall Windows.

  You can change the hard drive of your computer with a WD one Pavilion, just keep in mind that you need a 2.5 inch drive. In addition, if your Pavilion model is dv6500 or more, it has a SATA-II interface, but you can always take a drive SATA-III and it will not work (although will run at the lower speed of SATA-II).

  Here, you want to take a look at all our 2.5-inch drives:

  Hope this helps and let me know if you have any additional questions.

  See you soon!

• Pavilion p001tx 3rd Gen: keyboard changes upgrade and hard drive for HP pavilion P001tx 3rd gen

  Dear HP,

  I am former HP employee worked for many years and big fan of HP.

  I bought the HP Pavilion P001tx in November 2014.

  question;

  1. can you exchange or upgrade from keypad with backlight one?

  2. can we exchange or upgrade the Normal Hard Disk 1 TB with SSHD 1 TB keyboard?

  WebCam is too dull...

  Thank you.

  You misunderstand my role here. I do not work for HP and I'm not the order desk. I am a user final companions. The laptop has a program backup and restore installed where you can make the recovery discs or a USB key to reinstall the software factory on a new hard drive or SSD SSHD.

  You will have to find a SSHD and will make install. HP does not offer that service and I also do not, of course. It can affect your warranty. If you let us know your country of residence, we can find a good deal on the parts you want.
