Will there be a second drive bay in HP Pavilion 17-f072no?

I bought a HP Pavilion 17-f072no and I was going to add an SSD in it like and add to the HARD drive, but I found it has a solid base, while my previous pavilions and Envys have trapdoors separated for drive bays.

Before removing the base plate, I would check this model has a second HARD drive Bay?

Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04402649.pdf

Go through page 43, 105, 106

A hard drive Bay is according to the manual.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 and the second HDD bay

    Hallo, I want to install a second internal HDD to hdd2 Bay, but when I opened the Bay I noticed that it is not all connectors installed.
    So, what's the point of a second drive Bay hard if there are no connectors inside?

    Hello
    The point of this Bay is, IF you buy a model with a second equipped HARD drive then there will be a connector, but if bought a model with a SINGLE disc fitted then you just need a drive since the connector to the second HDD was not soldered on the motherboard of your model.

    Easy and simple. If you want to have a second drive, then you must either:

    -solder a connector for the motherboard which causes your warranty and does not mean that you can use a second drive since you will need the appropriate BIOS Rom
    -buy a USB - HDD and accept your situation :/

    That's all.

  • DV9000 freezes - not to recognize the new second Drive

    The laptop in question is a HP Pavilion DV9225us (DV9000) running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit (SP 2) with 2 GB of RAM and a chip from AMD Turion 64 x 2 TL-60 2.00 GHz.

    I took the Samsung existing 120 GB drive in the second and replaced drive bay by a WD3200BEKT Scorpio 320 GB drive. After I put the new Scorpio drive with the correct HP caddy, the system would not start (for example, Windows Vista began to start, but hung on the screen empty which poster right before that with the Windows progress bar downstairs). I removed the Scorpio, and put it back in the original Samsung drive. Needed to run "Startup Repair" Windows several times during the sequence before priming it could start normally. (I guess he was trying to cancel the "fetid" caused by the player of Scorpion and trying to back up my original Samsung drive.) He finally managed (thank God).

    I upgraded my BIOS on the DV9000, but that did not work. I tried also to access the disk in the BIOS during the boot. The BIOS as a secondary drive was there, but when I tried to do a BIOS diagnostic on it, he is hooked. In fact, he hung even when I tried to make a diagnosis of BIOS on the main drive as well.

    After having contacted WD support, they suggested putting a jumper between pins 1 and 2 on the Scorpion to allow a PCN (reduced power setting) in the hope that it would recognize the HP. That no longer works.

    I just have another HP Pavilion DV9620us (DV9500) laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit (SP 2) with 2 GB of RAM and an AMD Turion 64 x 2 chip TL-58 1.90 GHz. It has also two drive bays. As an experiment, I installed the Scorpio 320 GB drive in

    the second drive bay in this laptop. This laptop IS able to recognize (for example, mount) the reader, so for the heck of it, I formatted the disc while he was there. Then I took the drive formatted and installed on the second drive bay in my first laptop (DV9000). However, this did not help, because again once the system wouldn't start.

    What is going on? Why my DV9500 laptop would be able to recognize and use the drive, but won't my DV9000? They do not use the same motherboard and BIOS?

    I know that the Samsung 120 GB drive uses a connection SATA 1 (1.5 GB / s) and the Scorpio 320 GB SATA 3 (3 GB / s). The DV9000 does not support a SATA 3 drive? It's crazy to me, sounds, but I am so frustrated now, I think that anything...

    Service and Maintenance Manual for this model: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01311536.pdf

    indicate it is officially supported: 200, 160, 120, 100 - or hard disks of 80 GB.

    Other size may work, but not in the official list of supported.

    While some of the dv9500 models claims to "support all SATA drives.

I also had been using my computer in mode mute until I tried to increase the volume and now the computer tells me no playback device installed. Device Manager acknowledges the Harmon/Kardon soundsticks connected to it, but nothing does, how it works? The Control Panel also sees the soundsticks, but still when I try to move the volume the computer says there is no playback device installed.

  • Dv9008nr what is the largest hard drive internal, it will support? Including the two Bay drive.

    I have a laptop model Hp Pavilion Dv9008nr I have buy a new sata model Reader 2.5 500 GB seagate momentus.  I installed the player NDDN hard drive Bay, but the computer will not recognize and does not start in windows.  so I used Acronis to clone an image of the original disc with bootable operating systems so it clone for the Seagate 500 GB drive I reinstalled to drive Bay 1, but it still won't start. I have a vontacted HP support level 1 level 2 they say this computer supports a maximum of 200 GB of disc or 100 GB in each Bay.  I find it hard to believe when I search on the net and see the same model with 250 GB drives and 320 GB can someone explain or help thanks.

    I just let everyone know that I understood how to do this job. NO thanks to HP CUSTOMER SUPPORT level 1, level 2 or CAT.  They all told me that it was a problem of motherboard and BIOS and software was not the problem.  They stated that this series to DV9000 motherboard only can support a total of 200 GB of total disk space. It is 100 GB in drive Bay 1 and 100 GB of disk bay2, or 120 GB bay1 and 80 GB in bay 2.  I found that hard to believe. But still, they sent me the manual and showed me to page 123 this is everything that is supported.  They suggest to buy a new computer or use the external drive.

    HERE IS THE SOLUTION > I bought Acronis True Image 2009.  I remembered that a friend said that I must have the largest disk in drive Bay 1 and the same size or more small disk in drive Bay 2.  So, I took the 100 GB original out of the drive Bay 1 and installed in the 2 Bay drive. I then installed a new Western Digital 320 GB drive to bay1.  I rebooted the computer using the Acronis boot disk I had done.  Then, I used Acronis to create a disk image of my 100 GB drive Clone original with OS to the new 320 GB drive Bay 1.  After that the clone was complete I took out the boot disk and restatred windows and wow it worked fine.  I now have primary disk of 320 GB with the full image in reader1 and old 100 GB in drive 2.  That's a total of 420 GB on the motherboard which supposedly does not support.  I then decided to try this again then I removed the original 100 GB drive and then the clone bootable from 320 to drive Bay 2.  I then installed a new 500 GB Seagate Maximus drive dirve Bay 1. I then started with the Acronis boot idisk and cloned the 320 GB drive in the drive Bay 2 the new 500 GB drive Bay 1.  I have restart after taking the Acronis boot disk and, once again, I am now running windows with a disk of 500 GB primary with OS and all programs as well as 320 GB drive in Bay 2.  The two will appear in my computer as well as in managing and disk management. I then reformat the drive of 320 GB to free up more storage space.  You can do the same thing or set up in the raid disk.  I hope that this helps eveyone, because now I have 820 GB of hard drive space internally, despite any erroneous information that I received from HP.  I wil gladly help someone through the steps if necessary.  Thanks for all the support out there!

  • Will there be another windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

    Will there be another Windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

    Hello

    Disks: I don't think so. I always keep 25 floppy disks for Windows 95, should be a few thousand disks for Windows 10. Very, very, very expensive to store files and transport.

    Of DVD: would soon come out, new machines will have 10 Windows (who knows) pre-installed or downloaded. You can always find Windows 10 DVD in some countries where users will still have to use dial-up Modem.

    Hope it makes sense.

  • music file will not play in second hard drive double click Error "" the requested operation requires a rise ".

    Original title: music file won't play second hard drive by double click.

    Windows 7 ultimate/64

    I have a second hard drive on which I store my music files. If I open a player (Foobar is what I use now) and open the music file in the program, he plays very well, since the second HD.

    But if I double click on the music file (.mp3, usually), I get the message:

    "The requested operation requires a rise."

    I think it should open in the player by default when I do that.

    I remember well, it wasn't the case when I started to use this computer (it's fairly new), while something might have changed.
    I have the .mp3, .wav etc all default extensions for the Foobar player program.

    I went through elaborate measures to appropriate the entire disk and have granted full permissions for me as a user, following to the letter one of the many sites of the detailed instructions for this operation. But there is no help in sight.
    Original title: music file won't play second hard drive by double click

    So I can let my reader opens a music file leave a second drive, but I can't call him by double click or click right/context citing the player. When I do that, nothing happens, but I don't get the message "requires a rise."

    Every time I think that I am getting to know Windows 7, something like this happens. Avoid to receive life dull, of course.

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I've pretty much exhausted my own attempts.

    Jack

    Update: I think I've solved the problem. I have no idea that what caused it, but here's what fixed it:

    1 uninstalled Foobar with usual Control Panel uninstall
    2A through the startup disk everything and delete folders or files with the name "foobar" in them.
    3 did the same for the registry (creating a point of restoration first, of course)
    4 restarted
    5 download and install Foobar.

    Yes.

    Works very well.

    A big thank you to all who responded.

  • New installation of Windows 7 will not identify the second internal hard drive

    Attempted recently to upgrade a computer running the SP3 of XP to Windows 7.  Bought the new FULL version of 7.
    Have two 1 t Seagate Barracuda SATA drives on board; Operating system in partition 1 of disk C:. second disc to store data only.

    Several unsuccessful attempts to install 7, but with helpful suggestions, others on this forum, (i.e., update of the BIOS, re-formatting drive C to do a clean install, etc.) finally managed to a successful installation.

    All right, except that it does not find my second hard drive.  I have the disks attached ports SATA 1 & 2, but the system reads them so much as the C: drive.  The second disc appears in the BIOS Setup and Explorer as just the C: drive.

    Tried to change the SATA port for second drive to 3 and 4 with the same result.  It always appears as the C: drive.

    How can I get the systΦme can recognize the drive, so it can be assigned to a drive letter and I can access?  I suspect that the reformatting of the first disc for installation probably erased some boot sector/configuration info.

    A side issue: before attempting to upgrade to XP, I backed up my "Documents and Settings" on an external drive.  Now that XP is passed to the computer, can I continue to use Windows Easy Transfer to retrieve all my settings and info from the program, or who's going to screw me up?

    Check if the hard drive is assigned to a drive letter in disk management.

    Click Start, right click on computer

    Click on management of

    Expand disk management

    Select your external hard drive if its posted here

    Make a right click paths and change drive letter

    Restart your computer, open the computer in the start menu and see if it shows then.

  • Satellite A200 UH1 - 2nd hard drive Bay

    Hi all!

    Could someone explain me how to connect a second HDD in secondary housing of this laptop?

    I opened the cover, but there is no plug or the connector to install a.

    What I see, seems I have to buy a few extra parts, but I have no idea what.
    The manual is saying that he has this Bay (so it is usable as Toshiba worth to write his presence in the manual).

    Can someone help me?

    I really wish for reason practical for a keg external HDD will reduce the autonomy of the laptop when it is on battery.

    Thank you!!!

    If you want to connect a second disk of this machine slot that there must be a connector and if you don t have a t, you can put in a second HDD.
    Not every Satellite A200 has such connector.
    On the second HARD drive Bay, I founded the following information in the user manual:
    > HDD2: the availability of this functionality depends on the model you have purchased

    But you can use a second HDD in the slot of the CD/DVD drive. For this you can use a Bay for a second HDD.
    Ask an ASP for this part. They can order.

    As I read, there may be no connection to HARD drive, depending on model, how can I discovered?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You can check yourself.
    Remove the plastic cover that holds the second HARD drive Bay.
    Is there some HARD drive connectors, then you could install a second HDD.
    If the connectors are missing, then you will not be able to use the second HARD drive.

    I know that it s a little but confusing due to the second HDD bay but the fact is that different models A300 supports different motherboards and not all motherboards are equipped with two HARD disk controllers.
