• Pavilion t770.uk: ADDING a SECOND HARD DISK

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion t770.uk desktop PC. According to the manual, there is a dual Bay HARD drive space, which means that a second HDD can be mounted also on the original HARD disk. Data ATA series and power wires are there and there is space at the back of the HARD drive for an extra HARD drive cage, but he doesn't seem to be any fixing points to hold the HARD drive safely. HARD drive existing slots outside the cage and is held in place by a plastic locking support, but no such support or fixing holes are there for a second HDD. Can anyone help?

  See pages 10-15 in this manual:

  Manual

  This shows how to add a second hard drive, with or without the cage.

• Pavilion Elite M9040N turns on or turns off continues

  I have a Pavilion Elite M9040N media center desktop computer and it began to turn and turns off constantly.  The fans, the DVD player and the power that all light turns on for about 3-4 seconds then it turns off for 3-4 seconds, then starts the cycle again.  Does not get the bios start and nothing appears on the monitor.  I changed the power supply hoping that was the problem but no luck.

  Anyone encountered this before?

  Anyone know what is happening?

  Final update

  Thus, the slot and off tension of the issue was due to a fault on the motherboard.  In order to get what they functional system once again I have had to replace the motherboard and video card (I don't know why, but this card is not as well).  I also replaced both of the hard drives, upgrade to the C: 1.5 TB drive and a D: 2 TB drive and power.  I bought a new copy of windows 7 64 bit and did a new install and updated all the drivers.  I was able to transfer all of our data, photos, music, etc. among the old readers on the nine with an external SATA cable.

  I'm happy to be up and running again but in hindsight, I have pretty much rebuilt all of the computer.  I hope that this will last a few years.

  Thanks for all your help and suggestings

• HP Pavilion Elite m9040n Desktop PC card mother Layout

  I have a desktop HP m9040n and was tinkering autour inside. Long story short, I don't remember where the 2 hard drives and the cd player plug on the motherboard. All 3 are sata and can't seem to understand what command and ports as sata cables plug in. If someone could help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello Bostel, when you look at the motherboard in the case, the lower right corner is where the Sata ports.

  The port0 is on the right of the Sata ports closer to the top of the Board of Directors. This is the port where the hard drive0 or hard drive must be connected to.

  The port in front is where I connect the second hard drive and the port under the port1 is where to connect the DVD player.

  It was suggested that the Sata port0 is the boot hard drive port, but I connected the hard disks and DVD drives at all of these ports at one time or another and found no difference in the performance of the system.

  This could make a slight difference if you have the hard drive configured in a Raid array.

• HP Pavilion p6-2302ea - adding a second hard drive is internal.

  Model: HP Pavilion p6-2302ea:

  Product no.: C3T77EA #ABU:

  How can I add a second internal hard drive to the chassis. There seems to be a single hard disk. I have to buy an internal drive caddy?

  If you were you, I would consider adding an SSD for a boot drive. Really, you won't need a caddy for one SSD because you can use strips to hold it in place.

  Alternatively, you can consider removing the DVD drive and buy a cart to put the new drive (spinner old HDD) sink to replace.

• HP compaq 8200 elite sff: Add the second hard drive to 8200 elite sff

  I installed a second hard drive, but the system does not reqagnize it.  I connected the blue sata port.  Any help?

  Well shit, now I have to retype my response... I typed in Notepad, but it seems that I can't copy and paste into this box.

  I agree with DFBonnett, the second disc will only work on the BLACK, not BLUE light connector.

  The way I Win-10 to see the second drive was to go to the management of the computer, and then under storage, click Disk Management: the drive is presented as a disc 1 but not show the program explores until I received a letter from the disk drive... MAGIC, the player will now display as the letter assigned to the I gave him 'E' with a backup label.

  I tried what erico posted but has not worked, but I thank all of you who have tried to help.

  I give credit to Umbutu, he saw the drive without having to do anything myself.

  Hey Microsoft, look at what Linux can do... lol

• Pavilion P6235uk: can I install second hard drive on PC?

  Hello. I was wondering if I can install a second hard drive on my PC.

  The present Sata hard drive has a capacity of 640 GB.

  If there is a port to spare for a second hard drive, is there a maximum useful?

  And everything would make SATA 3.5 '' hard disk fit? I would be grateful for any advice.

  Thank you

  I found This MANUAL that shows not only a place to another hard drive, but also shows how to install it.  Begins on page 18

• HP Pavilion 550-126: install a second hard drive on Pavilion 550-126

  Can I install a second hard drive on this computer?

  Hi @wreavesjr!

  You can install another HARD drive in the PC because there is a free SATA port.

  With regard to the supply cable, if your a more SATA connectors, you can use it to connect the secondary HDD in the system.

  Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

• Pavilion 6000: No power to second hard drive cable

  Hard disk in the PC crashes mechanically.  You want to ghost a second hard drive before the first drive crashes completely.   Bought double the existing hard drive, but there is no connector power cable for this.  Plug SATA, but cannot turn on the second hard drive.  What should I do?

  LB1815, welcome to the forum.

  If I understand your problem, this is the Connector that you need.  It converts a single SATA power cable with two connectors.  This allows you to connect two drives with the cable.  There are many other brands available on Newegg.  It is an example.

• HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea - SSD SATA III HARD disk? & HARD drive space gone?

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea. It works fairly well, but I think I have an SSD would really speed up the loading of programs and start etc. I'm not so sure that the upgrade. I read on a thread if I had Port SATA 1 6 Gbps Supported or SATA Port 0 6 Gbps then my cell phone was good for SATA III. Is this the case? Joined a program hwinfo32 image, can you check if my phone would support SATA III?

  

  The other issue is my HD. My laptop says I have 750GB HD coming to about 700 GB after formatting. But my laptop seems to have only a total of 350 GB with all sectors added together. Where is the space?

  

  Hello

  Yes, your laptop has 2 ports SATA 6 GB/s (SATA III) most likely the hard drive and an optical drive are connected on it. There are also 2 SATA 3Gbps ports but not in use, I guess.

  The other issue is that there are 4 partitions but the partition 0 is strange and shouldn't be there. There should be a small boot for Windows partition (for BitLocker etc.), drive C: with Windows, D: drive with a partition recovery and partition Tools HP QuickWeb and some diagnostic utilities. It seems that the recovery partition is missing, the C: drive has been decreased and then created a small partition at the beginning of the hard disk. Take a look at disk management in administrative tools in the control panel this partitioning is on the hard drive.

• P6620: Installation of the second hard disk

  How to install a second hard drive (4 t) of my HP P6620?  I opened the box and there is no extra cable for adding disks hard disks/CD.  Two slots used for cables are currently being used by the installed hard drive and a CD player.

  Hi @jdrabourn!

  Since all SATA ports are used at the present time, you can go with a SATA multiplier in order to have more drive connected to your PC. Plug you it in to a single SATA port, but limited all disks to the SATA speed (for example 4 discs on a 6 GB/s aura port 1.5 Gb/s limit each). This is different from a RAID controller because controllers allow a potential speed on each disc while the multiplier limited all disks to the single port speed.

  Regarding the cables, you will need additional in order to connect additional HARD drive.

  Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

  See you soon!
