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.

  • Can I install OEM windows 7 pro license on a preinstalled computer comes with windows vista after formatting the hard drive

    There is a HP machine purchased with preinstalled windows vista home premium and now I want to format the computer so that I can load a license OEM windows 7 on it. I just want to know after the formatting and the license of windows 7 OEM loading if my system will work and also if the windows are enabled.

    Please, your urgent response is needed here.

    Hello

    You don't say where you got the OEM Windows 7 license of.

    If you got it from another computer, the answer is no.

    If you bought from Microsoft, you can.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

    I have the same problem with this ASUS Ultrabook. New brand ASUS but in two different houses and I have the same problems. Get right next to the router and it connects ok. Get a few feet away from the router and the ASUS gets angry and does not connect. Downloaded the latest driver, but that did not help either. Obviously, this is a faulty piece of equipment in the laptop. Great joy!

    Hi there @Kwatra_ps

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

    I understand that you are looking for a way to transfer data from your old laptop to another. I'm happy to help you.

    Take a look at the following pages for some methods that you can try.

    How to transfer data between two hard drives - weecast.fr

    How to recover data from the hard drive to a laptop Dead - weecast.fr

    Assuming that your hard drive is readable, you must find a compatible external drive bay for your laptop hard drive. Remove the disc and install it in the Bay, then you can use it as an external drive and then copy data to it at your leisure.

    Another question, you will probably encounter is file permissions if the old drive is attached to another windows device. See the following, the same principles also apply to Windows XP.

    I hope this helps.

    I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

    I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.

    Any help would be welcome.

    Thank you!

    So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

    Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

  • Why my computer will not pick up my external hard drive?

    Why my computer will not pick up my external hard drive?
    using Windows 7 sp1

    Original title: usb

    Hello Fred,.

    Windows 7 sometimes has trouble recognizing external drives connected to the USB ports. There are a number of possible corrections for this.

    1. make sure you that the USB port in question works with another device, that you know works. For example, take a mouse that you know doesn't work and plug it into the USB port is connected. The mouse still works? If Yes, go to #2.

    2 do a reset power coercive.

    1. Unplug the power cord. Then (on a laptop) remove the battery.
    2. Unplug all USB devices.
    3. Leave it alone - don't connect or reconnect the devices for several minutes.
    4. After several minutes plug the power supply cord.
    5. Then install the battery.
    6. Turn on the computer and restart as normal without plug any USB device.
    7. Connect your devices one at a time and let them install as usual.

    The external hard drive works now? If not, go to #3.

    3. I have and others have used an application of part 3, the freeware Aomei Partition Wizard, download here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link). Once installed, you need only browse the external drive and select it, then click Properties. That's all; simply choose the drive is enough to get the drive recognized by Windows 7, no formatting required.

    I would like to know if one of these methods works for you. After back here with your results.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite M30 sees only 120 GB installed WD 250 GB HARD drive?

    Recently my native HDD (on M30) crashed and I upgaded with Western Digital WD2500BEVE 250 GB. Disc.
    But when I boot the sytem, it appears that only 120 GB is available!

    Is it possible to use the laptop the full capacity of the HARD drive? Whow?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The fact is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported due to the limitation of HARD BIOS disk size.
    Easy said: BIOS don't support all hard drives.

    I've read many threads here in the forum about HARD drive sizes possible max and it seems that a 120 GB of HARD drive is wide that could be used in the Satellite M30.

    You ask now for an update of the BIOS. Am I wrong?

    Well, unfortunately, the update of the BIOS will not improve the situation and will not use the s larger HARD drive as 120 GB :(

    Best regards

  • 2nd hard drive appearing is not in my computer

    My 2nd hard drive is not appearing in my computer.  The hard drive was a slave, that I took from my old xp machine after it crashed.  I had installed in my new vista machine before and it worked, but then I had to reinstall the operating system and since then he did not appear.  I double checked to make sure, it has been defined as a slave drive and it is.  It appears in the Bios, Device Manager and in disk management, but not in my computer.  Nothing is appearing as unallocated in disk management and the player said his good health.  In the Device Manager, it says the device is working properly.  I tried to give him just a drive letter in the management of records, but when I right click on it the only option I have is help.  I also tried to update the drivers, he says that they are up-to-date.  I tried deactivation and activation of the hard drive.  I even tried to uninstall.  When I rebooted, it detects and reinstalled the drivers, but I still can't get it to appear in my computer.

    Alw179,

    so I assume you are using the new Windows 7 for this post.

    Proposal of John Doe has worked for me. This is how do you a little more in detail:

    step 1: Windows 'Start menu '.

    Step 2: SPECIFY the, "disk management" in the box "search programs and files" at the botom

    step 3 find and RIGHT click on the hard drive in the list that program shows.

    step 4: select 'Change Drive Letter and paths '.

    step 5: click Add and make sure that ASSIGN it THE FOLLOWING DRIVE LETTER: bubble is selected and then use the drop-down menu to select a drive letter, do not use it.

    step 5: click OK

    step 6: complete, you should have something pop up indicates that your hard drive is available to show.

    I hope this helps.

  • I want to uninstall this new screen wallpaper changer "Smile" of Webshot to my hard drive.

    Original title: uninstaller

    Hello community,

    I want to uninstall this new screen wallpaper changer "Smile" of Webshot to my hard drive. I tried to do this several times, but each time that the system tells me that the program is running and, therefore, cannot honor my request. The old screen Webshot wallpaper changer has worked well, but something wrong with this new program of replacement, because it seems it is controlling my computer. So, how can I get this piece of my computer without having to wipe the hard drive and reload Windows 7? Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hula Baloo,

    Thanks for the suggestion. However, I found an answer to the same exact question in the forum, April 2011.  As explained, the procedure to stop a running program is very simple (if you know what to do). This forum MS questions / answers is a wonderful virtual community.
