Windows 7 - HP Pavilion HPE h8 - 1360t I added a second hard drive

I installed a seagate (seagate 2 TB Barracuda SATA) second drive on my desktop computer.  When I got to the top I could go to the control panel and not see under the heading records.  Seagate said to go to the BIOS and choose 'Auto Connect your new drive', but there is no other choice to Auto Connect.  If anyone can tell me who is the right choice on the BIOS screen to find and identify my new second hard drive?

Hello

In the disk management window, right-click on your new HARD drive and select Format to start the wizard.  Windows 7 will affect a Volume label so if your happy with it, just leave the default.  File system is NTFS.  Allocation unit size must be left by default.  Select the option to perform a quick format if it is not already done.  Leave all the other default settings, and then click Ok, and then Ok to start the process.

Once this done, your new HARD disk should now appear when you look under the computer.

Kind regards

  • Adding a second hard drive to a 500-380nf Pavilion?

    I just bought a new 500-380nf Pavilion.

    In the store I did understand the seller I was intending to add second hard drive to a 1 to SATA (which I already loaded with all my media files).

    However, now I am home and have taken the side panel, it seems that the system a capacity for 2 more SATA connections on the motherboard, power cable from spare at least one and a lot of physical space.

    BUT the chassis appears to have been designed with ONLY 2 bays - that are occupied by the existing hard drive and the optical drive.   Am I missing something?   There is a place to mount the second hard drive, isn't there?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Some models of the HP 500 - xxx series are provsioned for a 2.5 device "(SDD ou HD)."  See the image below.

    If you have removed the optical drive you can then use a 5.25 "to two hard drive adapter 2.5"since you mentioned a 2.5 hard drive".

  • Windows Media Player won't find the files on the second hard drive

    Hi hope you can help with this.

    I have Windows 7 and Windows Media Player 12 on my PC.

    My office has two hard drives, one for the operating system and all programs and another larger (drive J:\) for all my files.

    All my audio files are stored in the J:\Audio folder, and this folder is also the default location for my music library (such as configured in Windows and WMP).

    When I load WMP files in J:\Audio are not displayed in the music library.

    If I right click on music > manage a music library and then manually delete the J:\ from the list of library locations, and then re-add it, WMP adds all the files to the library (a process that takes about 20 minutes).

    BUT if I close WMP and re - open again, these files are missing once again.

    It seems that WMP has a blind spot of my second hard drive.

    Any suggestions for what I can do to remedy this?

    Thank you very much!

    Neil.

    Well, I think I found a solution for me at least.

    There is an answer on this thread who has contributed to:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-pictures/songs-do-not-appear-in-the-Windows-Media-Player/a6e80b2e-7367-4529-9dab-5a38ba4167a5?page=5

    This is the fifth detention by djkel.

    This is a summary:

    To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
     
    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
    3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
    Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    One of the files that I had to delete not able to be removed first because "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" was used. I was able to follow the steps on this page to temporarily stop the service and allow the file to be deleted:

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-disable-Windows-7-Media-Player-network-sharing-service-wmpnetwk/

    Then when I have opened WMP 12 database has been repopulated with my files... and all files remain when the 12 WPM has been closed and then reopened. I hope it's a permanent fix.

    Not sure if this will help your problem, Jeff, but I hope that.

  • I have a HP Pavilion 500-267C, can I install a second hard drive in this PC?

    My turn XP no longer works, but there is some information on the hard drive I want to recover my present

    PC uses the Windows 7 operating system. Can my old hard drive be installed in the new HP without ruining the new

    computer or the old hard drive?

    Yes, implying that the old disks hard XP is in good health.

    You can use a USB external hard shore caddy for the old disk or you can directly connect via the SATA port on your motherboard you new computer. 99% of the time there will be connections of additional power from the power supply on your new machine to feed the old drive.

    All of this assumes that the old drive is SATA interface _ we IDE, in which case you would need an adapter to connect directly to the new MoBo computers.

    I don't think that even though you can check to make sure there is no IDE USB external hard drive caddies.

    The top is SATA and the bottom is IDE.

  • 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 Pavilion 510n - adding the Second hard drive?

    A few questions...

    1. is there a size limit for any player second, I would like to add?

    2. What is the procedure for adding the second disc?

    -J' added a second drive to an OLD pc before and it involved linking the second slot on an IDE cable, change the jumper on the slave drive settings, and modify the bios settings... it would be similar?

    Hello TSobiech, it is always best to ask to order a part that is not compatible with a certain system.

    The hard disk that you show the link should work perfectly. Even if it's an ATA100, and your system supports ATA33/66, this disc should still work but will be downclocked to ATA66 speed.

    Here is another link to a 250 GB IDE HDD if you might be interested.

    You won't notice much, if any, degradation in performance to the difference in speed. These IDE drives are higher than the price a SATA with the same capacity, but they are becoming harder to find.

    Since you want to be using as operating in car system, but just a backup drive, they want to make a difference.

    If you want to make use of the full speed of ATA100, you could add a map of IDE controller supporting ATA100, but I really don't think it would.

    Since you mentioned the intermediate layer of IDE as not being used, you can connect the new drive to this connector.

    Now, there are a few things that you should check that you install the new hard drive. These are the connectors of jumper on hard drives.

    This is the very small plastic with metal inserts, at the end of the hard drive where are the other connectors.

    I always use the CSEL (CS) on two hard drives. Readers may already have jumpers to this setting (jumpers connection), but if not, you must set two hard drives the selection of cables (CS).

    Since the current IDE hard drive is the boot hard drive and an ATA66, it must be connected to thin ribbon cable connector, as it is now, and the new hard drive attached to the middle connector IDE. The slowest speed of the two hard drives will result in two hard drives running at the slower of the two speeds. It will work very well.

    You need to partition and format the new hard disk before it can be used. This can be done from Windows if necessary.

    I hope this helps.

  • Adding a second HARD drive to a desktop HP Pavilion p6 - 2450ev.

    I would like to add additonal HARD drive in this machine, but although there are spare SATA and power connectors it has no proper structure to mount, despite the fact that there is a large room under the existing HARD drive.

    My usual pc accessoriy store has no fitting suitable for easy installation.

    Thanks for any help.

    Rob

    Hello

    The bad news is that the particular model of HP PC you have is not configured for more than one hard drive.  However, you have options.

    1. Attach a drive 3.5 "down inside the PC using a pair of 5.25" Bay optical adapters.
    2. Use a disk external esata and extend the card mother SATA port on the back of the i/o Panel with an adapter plate I/O.
    3. Remove optics and mount a hard drive to the optical Bay using the adapter in the #1.
    4. Use an Adapter PCI-E slotand attach a drive 2.5 "SSD or to the adapter.
