Two hard drives - what to set the page file to?

Similar Questions

• If you have two hard drives, can you wipe the second and just use it as a storage device?

  If you have two HARD drives in a PC Windows 7, can you remove everything (including the System 32, Windows users, literally everything) in the second and still use his computer? All my programs on the first HDD would remain on my PC, but all the files of the second being scratched? I'm running out of space on my first HARD drive and need to know if I can keep the second as storage just pure.

  Thank you.

  Hey Elliot,

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  According to the description, it seems that you want to delete all the data on the secondary hard drive without affecting the first hard drive operating system files.

  I'll be happy to help you with this.

  If the operating system (Windows 7) is installed on the first hard drive, it has nothing to do with the second hard disk. You can go ahead and delete all data without hesitation.

  Note: Make sure that you remove the data from the hard drive where Windows 7 is installed.

  If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup.

• Laptop support two hard drives

  Hello

  I am looking for a screen of 15.6 inches that supports two hard drives. Can someone point me to the laptop that support two hard disks? I'm more interested in HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC but any would do the trick. I am also looking for the laptop to have the full HD screen.

  Thank you

  Sumit

  You can watch the DV7 if having two hard drives is important. The DV7 in laptop computers range has a 2nd HARD drive Bay, and I understand that the DV6, M6, G6, G7, and M7 have only 1 HARD drive Bay. If you buy a DV7 which is not customizable, or retailer, you can always install a 2nd HARD drive by buying the Parts HP hard drive hardware Kit and a HARD drive. HP has been portable computers shipping with Seagate hard drives, but WD, Western Digital, will also work. I recently updated my DV7-3165DX to 2 TB (1 TB WD Scorpio Blue SATA 2.5 in HDD + 1 TB WD Scorpio SATA 2.5 HARD drive in),

  Look at these DV7. The quad core seemed to be the same price when customized at the same level.

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

• How to set up two hard drives (but not three)

  I just added a second hard drive (500 GB SATA).  It is currently empty.

  My first hard drive any currently-operating system (XP), programs (including PE4), multimedia files, scratch your files, etc.  The first hard disk is about 200 GB with only about 22 GB free.  There are about 70 GB of various video media on the first hard drive.

  I read a lot of stuff about the implementation of three or more hard drives (OS/programs on the media, on the other hand, scratch files on a third).

  But I only have two disks and will not get a third for this machine.

  What is the best thing (s) to pass to the second drive?  (Note that I would rather not move BONES).

  Besides everything that I should get to the second drive, is there a mileage by moving or by simply reinstalling PE4 on the second disc (assuming this is possible)?

  For the record, I'm not a guru of user or computer power.  I just went into the machine store and claimed a second drive.  I have no idea on RAID etc, but I guess they aren't any RAID or RAID 0 (don't know what I'm talking about).

  Thanks for all the ideas.

  Dave

  Given your hardware, I would leave the OS (obviously) and all programs on your C:\ drive. I propose all the media project, files etc. to D:\, and assigning Scratch Disks even as project, keep on D:\ also. As to your swap file (virtual memory in Windows), I doubt that you would see good imporvement moving to D:\, but you might want to experiment with this. I would also like to experiment with it running with a defined size (about 2.5 x your physical RAM) and also let Windows manage dynamically. I create a project test for experiments and then do the same on this project with a clock at hand. You will probably find that there is little difference between the configurations, and if this is the case, then I would leave just the Page on C:\ file, where it is located now. Where people usually see a big difference it is with a RAID 0 two small, but very fast HDD or a smaller very fast HDD, just for the swap file. Even in this case, the increase in speed may be minimal and could not justify the cost of the addition, say a 10 000 rpm 160 GB SATAII HDD, just for that purpose.

  With this third HDD in the example of the harm, the media would go on that, but in your case, I would move to D:\. The idea is to spread as much of the workload, as it is possible, as much physical HARD drive, as you have.

  Also, by giving your programs and your operating system a little more "room for manoeuvre", will allow you to eliminate as many bottlenecks, you can.

  RAID is either configured via software or hardware. They are a method of combining disks HARD physical in tables. If you have not done this physically, and with the two HARD drives you have, there is no real reason to do, you don't have to worry about this. Suggestions of harm to RAID are to the highest speed (and probably a redundancy built in), in particular with HD media. However, in order to offer their full potential, you need matching 3 physical HDD, or 2 at least. Again, in an ideal world, you use a RAID controller card and does NOT go with a stripped software RAID.

  Good luck and you will not be sorry that you added the extra 500 GB. You should notice an increase in speed in many operations and probably more stability with the largest projects.

• Problem with activation by using two hard drives (XP on one) and Win7 on the other

  I have XP sp3 installed on a hard drive and Win7 on another. I never use XP, I only keep there to keep my Win7 works great.

  I do not remember how did I installed win7, but I pretty sure I booted from a USB key and installed on a new hard drive.

  It seems that XP hard drive is in charge the boot settings, or something because I have set as the boot default HDD (in bios), and then select Windows 7 in boot menu that follows.

  If I select the hard disks Windows 7 the default boot hard drive, Windows restores activation. Select the hard drive with XP and win7 then choosing in the start menu, works very well, the activation is OK again.

  I'll install Win8 (that I already bought), but I still need to figure out what to do with this situation, because I need to replace the hard drive where XP is installed and install Win8 and have a double Win7 and boot 8.

  It is possible to solve the problem of activation, without having me call Microsoft? I use a utility called EasyBCD 2.2 and I was wondering if maybe this program could help fix me.

  Any thoughts?
  Wilfredo.

  Disconnect the drive xp, fix the win7 installation and activate if necessary

• What HARD drive can I install the Satellite Pro 2100?

  I installed a second hand Toshiba 40 GB HDD in my Pro 2100, but he fails to recognize in the BIOS. Any ideas?

  Yes, I have an idea ;)
  Have you checked if the HARD disk is not corrupted?
  I think it's a first step to find out what's wrong.

  If you are sure that the drive is 100% damage not so in my opinion him BIOS is unable to manage the size of the HARD drive. It s just too big size.
  The BIOS supports multiple disk sizes but if HARD drive it too big the BIOS may not be able to recognize the HARD drive.

• Can I use two hard drives in the Qosmio G40-10th

  Anyone know if it is possible to install two hard drives in this laptop. I read simewhere that it had to be two slots hard drive in it?
  If so where is it located?
  Ther would be all issues around extra heat that could be generated etc.?

  I have had mine for about 5/6 months and have had a screen replaced (defective backlight).
  Many other people have had problems?

  I wonder if its worth buy the extended warranty.

  See you soon.
  Sunil

  Hello

  As far as I know this laptop takes support only a single HARD disk.
  Check the underside of the laptop. Do you see a second slot (cover) the second HDD?
  I imagine that it has a single HARD drive Bay, and so only a single HARD disk can be used.

  I m not a G40 owner and, therefore, I cannot comment on any other issue.
  But each computer technology may start to malfunction it is why I always recommend buying an extended warranty.

  Best regards

• WE made the Notebook G71-340 have TWO hard drive bays

  My mother has the laptop mentioned in this topic. She had all kinds of issues with her past. Runs slowly. Crashes. Stop randomly. I ran all virus scan and malware known to man and it found nothing. It's either something that is on the hard drive is not detected and the only solution is to reformat the hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch or it's a hardware problem. I think to install an SSD as drive for improved speed and reformatting of the original disc that is out there at the moment and which install as a secondary drive, * IF * this laptop has the capacity to hold 2 hard drives. Anyone know the answer to this question of 2nd hard drive Bay on the top of their head for this laptop specific? Thanks in advance.

  Unfortunately this is not one of the models with the extra hard drive Bay. So the answer is no. Think hard external usb disc or a NAS.

  Install an SSD as a replacement for the original hard drive is the way to go. Use the largest you can afford and run an image recovery plant from the set of recovery disks.

  Take a look at the interview guide & Service.

• I have two hard drives 500 GB & 250 GB, 500 GB was drive C:, the two had switched, how I safely switch back?

  I can find two hard drives, but he did tell me that one is the 500 GB or 250 GB. Need to get my 500 to the C: drive.

  If you start the computer (start-> computer), you can see the drives with their letters of player sizes and how much space is used.  If your computer is running however, I would recommend against trying to move the letters because it is likely to make your computer unusable.

  Good luck.

• My computer crashed two weeks ago and all software had reinstalled in another HD. The first hard drive still has all the files and are readable. Where can I find the old catalog fall back all my work?

  My computer crashed two weeks ago and all software had reinstalled in another HD. The first hard drive still has all the files and are readable. Where can I find the old catalog fall back all my work?

  My lightroom was great before the crash to work and I have a lot of work still pending.

  You will need the catalog file and all your images. If you have also stored your images on which crashed HDD you will need to copy them as well.

  The default location of the LR catalog file is in your user name folder in the folder on the ROOT of the drive users

• Create new virtual machine of the model that have two hard drives in the different data store

  We do VM deploy automation with PowerCLI.

  There is already a model created with at least two hard drives to one side and each hard drive belong to difference datastore,

  In the model's operating system is Windows server 2008 R2 already installed VMware Tools and other software in the second (other than C: driver) driver

  We can successfully deploy a new virtual machine with this manually with vSphere client model.

  But when we try to make the deployment with PowerCLI, can not find examples of similar scripts in the document of reference,

  and we also google this question, still no similar question was found.

  Is this possible with PowerCLI? If it's possible could you give me some advice or an example of script, thank you!

  Best regards.

  I already found the solution.

  With the vSphere SDK .NET API, we can create the new virtual machine to the model

  Mainly used API listed below, sorry because I can not give the source code here.

• Can not turn HARD drive restore or create the restore on Satellite A135-S4727 disc

  Hello

  I have an A135-S4727 (Pentium dual core, 2 GB of ram, windows vista, 160 GB HDD).
  Recently, I decided to use my HARD drive recovery funtion to restore OTB ' cos I wasn't satisfied
  the way I use my hard drive.
  My system did not come with a recovery disk and recovery disc creator software (I checked it when I arrived but)
  has been re-insured by the fact that the hidden partition has been and is still intact)
  I just thought that I would start from the hard drive recovery console, whenever I needed.
  I tried to do this for always (now pressed zero, hit) but it boots to windows in any case.

  I am so angry and frustrated rite now ' cos I am out of warranty and do not know why I should come on a forum to find a way to restore my laptop.
  I googled the web for 2 days now and nothing other than similar complaints found...
  Toshiba... (X-)
  The right and the ability to restore its system is a given... (unless you plan to charge us a pc falls down for reasons every time you guys don't even know most of the time)

  Please someone end to this nightmare and tell me what to do and how...

  Boyfriend sorry but to be honest I put t understand you complaint;
  The newest series of laptops is not delivered with the recovery disk but is equipped with Toshiba HDD recovery option.
  This option can be used to retrieve the laptop computer from the HARD disk, and there is also an option to create the recovery disk.
  This recovery disk can be used if something goes wrong with the HARD drive or partition from the image on the HARD drive.

  It s highly recommended to create the recovery DVD!
  And this info is in the manual of the user who is always pre-installed on the laptop!
  I also found this info here in the user manual that can be consulted online on the Toshiba page we (the Satellite A135-S4727 is a laptop in US)

  Check it out here * 56, page of the user guide: *.
  [Satellite A135-S4727 Manual: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=1757708& rpn = PSAD0U & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 1073768663 & odel selM = 1757708% 7CPSAD0U #]

  Here you will find details how to create the recovery disk.
  I put t know how you manage a unit bought new but if I buy a new device, then the first I do is consulted the user manual that comes with this device.

  In any case; I think you can order a new disc of recovery of the ASP in your country

  Good bye

• "this computer's hard drive is smaller than the original hard drive shipped.

  Computer model: p7-1058uk Hi, I'm trying to reinstall my windows recovery kit 7 I bought from best2serve my OCZ Vertex 60 GB ssd Series 3. But I get this error message "this computer's hard drive is smaller than the original supplied hard disk. The recovery process cannot continue"I actually managed to install this recovery on the same front drive kit when I bought first. Any ideas as to why its not working now? I have formatted the ssd drive, deleted the partition and creates a new one with a program called gparted. I can't access my computer until I can reinstall this recovery again kit. Thank you

  Hello:

  I'm surprised that the same recovery disks set worked the first time.  Unfortunately, the error you are getting is the norm. I don't know any solution other than to get a bigger hard drive to the approximate size as the original.

  I have a solution for you if you want to use...

  If you can read the product key 25 character Windows 7 on the sticker COST Microsoft on your PC, you can download single files Windows 7 ISO to burn it to a DVD for the version of windows (Pro, home) that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the sticker COST Microsoft on the PC.

  You must also select the language installation provided with your PC, or the product key will not work.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program.

  Use the 25-character product key to activate the installation. It's good for the 32-bit or 64-bit version of W7.

  Then go to the support page and drivers for your PC install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.
