  ADDING 2ND HARD DRIVE - IT DOES NOT APPEAR UNDER MY COMPUTER - I DON'T KNOW IF SA FORMATTING OR NOT - CAN GET SOME DIRECTIONS - THANK YOU

  How did you add it? Where's the hardware mounting hard disk? In any State of cause, assuming that you have installed a hard drive was bought, it would be empty and needs be initialized (mounted) and formatted. To find computer or this PC in the right click menu... Choose manage, disk management and you will see a Visual representation of the hard drives. It can automatically prompts you to initialize the disk. Once do you that and format it in ntfs and assign a drive letter and the name of the volume, it will appear in the computer as a lettered drive.

• Problems adding a hard drive to a Windows 2003 client

  I am trying to add a hard drive to a guest VM on a host running ESXi 4.1.0 standard. It is a historical system that we must keep and maintain for another 1 & 1/2 years. There are 15 comments on this host.  The local database has 1.63 TB of storage with 868,85 Go free. All comments thick supply usage.

  The prompt, I work with is a Windows 2003 R2, 32-bit, Service Pack 2, Standard Edition.  Currently, I have two drives C: = 80 GB, & E: = 20 GB. I am trying to add a third hard drive of 300 GB.  When I try to add the 300 GB drive, I get the following error message. "Disk capacity was not properly formatted or was out of reach.  It has been replaced by the nearest acceptable value. " Value, it is replaced by what is 256 GB.

  I used the same Windows operating system to create three other similar servers with the largest hard drive = 100 GB C:, E: = 100 GB, & F: = 1.5 to.  Microsoft's web site, said that this operating system can handle 2 TB of storage.  The only difference with the other hosts three, that's they run vSphere 5.5.

  The size of the block of your VMFS datastore is the limiting factor, the bottom suggest that your datastore to VMFS-3 has been configured with 1 MB block size where the maximum virtual hard disk and the file size would be 256Go.

  See below for the limits provided by VMFS-2 and VMFS-3 block sizes.

  Block size	Large virtual disk on VMFS-2	Large virtual disk on VMFS-3
  1 MB	456 GB	256 GB *.
  2 MB	912 GB	512 GB *.
  4 MB	1.78 TB	1 TB
  8 MB	2 TB	2 TB minus 512 B *.

• HP ENVY Phoenix 810-135qe CTO Desktop PC adding 2nd hard drive

  I have added a second hard drive to my system (3 TB Seagate) that is the same (brand / model) on the main drive.  Device Manager sees the drive, but Win 7 Pro does not see the drive.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Look in to the new hard drive disk management.  To use the full capacity of the drive, you'll need to be initialized and he the GPT format.  Don't forget to assign a drive letter and a volume name.  In addition, make sure that the drive appears as online and not in offline mode.

• adding additional hard drive

  I've added some Rams, dvd player and hard drive on my desktop pc HP Pavilion P7-1235.

  All have been recognized "Rams, dvd and HDD player" in office management.

  My problem is that I can't access the new disc hard second "seagate barracuda 1 TB" because it does not show on my computer page.

  The new dvd player is there but not the hard drive.

  Q What should I do to access this new second hard drive.

  Access the "computer management / Disk Management Console" and initialize the disk. See http://www.brighthub.com/computing/hardware/articles/22069.aspx for more information, if necessary.

• Ran memory hard drive, added a hard drive and hopeing I can combine somehow.

  I have added a second hard drive with XP on it. I have the second disk set to CSEL. I have a gateway pc. It appears in Device Manager. I was hopeing to combine them, a bit like you can do with vista. I put in wrong place

  If the primary transmission is set to Cable Select, you have set the jumperr on the extra disc correctly.

  If the primary transmission is set to master, you must assign additional drive SLAVE jumpers

  Assuming that both show in BIOS, Device Manager and Windows Explorer, you cannot combine the two discs.

  What you can do is freshly format additional drive and then move all files data yourr on him... Mike Hall MVP - Windows Desktop Experience http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/

• PERC H330 and Raid 5, try adding another SATA drive raid 5 array

  Hi all

  I have one server PowerEdge T330 with 8 slots of disc and have currently 3 SATA drives running a raid 5 configuration.  I have a virtual disk configured for Raid (must).

  The operating system recognizes the disk and is able to use the resources...

  My desire is to add another hard drive to the table (hard disks of the same size, same brand, etc.) with 4 disks without losing any data.

  I looked in the settings of the iDrac and the only adjustment was to add the new disk as a global hot spare or a hot spare dedicated to the virtual drive.

  I also looked in the BIOS and do not see a way to add the new drive.

  Does anyone know how to increase capacity?  I can blow the virtual drive if necessary and start over without problem.  I intend to gradually accomplish this Act until adding 8 disks. (5 times).

  Help!

  Hello.

  Management controllers RAID and tables is not made in the BIOS iDRAC or systems. For the management of the RAID (virtual disks) arrays, you have OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA). If not installed, see the link: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=TK61C once installed, go to-> Storage->-> H330 PERC controllers-> virtual disk--> sub tasks available-> select reconfigure and run-> then check a box to add the fourth disk on the next page. Follow the prompts and allows you to extend your range of RAID 5.

• Adding 2nd hard drive for Dell E310

  Hello

  I recently made some updates to my E310 and, until I got to the point where I was adding the second hard drive, everything went well.

  First of all, nobody in my local computer store knew of the blue Paw was to add 2nd hard drive; They suggested screw. This isn't the first hard drive I have installed, even if it is the first in my Dell. After my third attempt of Googling, I struck gold - a post in the forum explaining that support is needed and a telephone number to order. I am so grateful for this response.

  I read in similar positions and before putting the drive in I want to understand what is needed after the physical installation. This player will not hold the OS (XP Media), but held the whole image, music, and various files. Still must the player be partitioned and formatted using disk management I read in another post? I understand that I must go into the Bios to activate the second hard drive, so to speak. Is this similar to enter the CMOS? Would you be able to provide clear instructions?

  Is there anything else I should do to get the new HDD to be operational?

  Thank you for your time and thanks to the person who posted this phone number.

• Phoenix 860-170VR: adding additonal hard drive

  I would add additonal hard drive to my PC and I see there are locations for additional disks, but looks like I need rails to mount the disk, so it can slide into the slot. HP sells these rails and if yes, someone has a link or a reference number?

  Thank you

  The real screw is as follows.

  Cylindrical head type, thread 6 x 32, with a length of 1/4 ". This head is made to allow the reader to slip into the slots.  The screw head acts as a locking mechanism.  Drag with the circuit board to the TOP.

• Satellite P500-12D adding 2nd HARD drive

  Toshiba UK say it is not possible to install a second drive in a P500-12D.
  The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
  I was also told that the second drive Bay could not be used "on the model" but the sata connection is there and inserts brass threaded in the case of the scree of the carrier are present.

  The Bay is deeper than 1 Bay (for the thicker > 500 GB drives and, therefore, the support unit for the 1st Bay can be used - entire centres are also different.)

  Ideas for a work around?

  Sorry for the spelling mistakes - my original message would not be accepted "your message contains profanity or inappropriate language.
  In the interest of your fellow forum users, we ask you to change your message.
  "but no indication as to where." Maybe it's that the things happening in the threaded inserts are not allowed

  Peter K

  > The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
  The reason is that there are different configurations of P500
  The P500 and other series of Toshiba laptops are equipped with different motherboards.
  Not all motherboards support 2 HARD drive controllers.

  This can be a bit confusing for someone buying a laptop and see the second HARD drive Bay, but if you would remove the 2nd HARD drive Bay cover, then you will see that there is no HARD drive connector.
  This means that you will not be able to use the second HARD drive.

• 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

• Adding a hard drive to Time Capsule will increase storage space

  I have one capsule 3 TB and and get time capsule backup fails due to lack of space.  I have connected a 2 TB hard drive to time Capsule.

  But what will happen now?  Time machine will share back up to two discs automatically.  Or do I have to put something else.

  You can't just add a player... TC has no brain at all... A normal NAS could JBOD configuration... in the TC, they are now and forever two separate discs...

  What you need to do is to move one or more backups on the drive you plugged in.

  The method for this depends on what you are trying to achieve... but you should be able to copy a sparsebundle existing since the internal drive of TC on the USB drive... the best way to do it is by ethernet wireless off and the USB (USB3, I hope) plugged into your Mac USB3 port.. The worst possible method using wireless for the USB connected to the TC.

  Once you copy the sparsebundle delete the original from the internal drive of TC to create space... then configure the TM in the computer that has the sparsebundle so that it points to the backup now on the USB... This may or may not work... but TM will say that it will start a new backup... what you hope, is that he picks up the existing sparsebundle and she continues to make TM backups.

• HP Envy Phoenix 850 - 180ST: adding a hard drive to a single SSD computer

  I want to add a SATA hard drive to serve as a backup to the SSD. Necessary cables do not seem in the present case. What do I need to do?

  The power connector is because it comes on the cables already connected to the power supply.

  You must obtain your own SATA data connector.

  Good luck

• Want TS 17 J140us: Laptop computer only supplies not on after adding 2nd HARD drive

  This laptop has an option for a 2nd HARD drive.

  I installed 2nd HARD drive and the laptop does not light.

  When I remove the 2nd HARD drive it is normal again.

  I'm guesing that a special BIOS change is needed to allow the reader to 2nd.

  Anyone know what is the solution?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Success!

  I think it was just plugging in the cable needed to be reinstalled.

  I confirmed that the drve was good with an external cable.

  I made the stop while holding down the SHIFT key.

  Once it did not work.

  Then I took out the cable and put it back making sure to he went in the port exactly how is HDD - 1.

  This time, he appeared in the windows Device Manager. I already made the partition, format, assign the drive letter.

  Everything is good to go now. I'm glad, that I have a lot of storage space on my laptop.

  Thanks for the suggestions, have a nice day.
