Want to install Two 1tb HDD, is posible?? Help.

Hi guys, i have a Pavillion Elite m9177c and have a 2 320gb. I have problems with pc is very slow, it freezes, wjen i make the diagnostic it says BIOHD-8 check for
Virus,adware,defrag and same thing.
I installed two
Extra memory 2gb each for a total of 8gb. (total max of this pc)
I think i have to buy a new hard drives and start again. Can this pc support 2 hdd of 1tb each? I want to Install WD Caviar Black. Any suggestions apprecciate.

Your original confg on the m9177c utilized (2) 320GB drives in tandem for 640GB total. That means files swapped between drives.
The best, and simpliest answer is to put in a single 1T. It will be more efficient.
BTW, better get that 1T soon, as the BIOHD-8 error is your warning of impending doom.

HP Pavilion DV7-7008tx Laptop - Raid 1 for two 1TB HDDs?

HP Pavilion DV7-7008tx Laptop
B3K25PA#ABG
Windows 7 Home Premium
Hi,
I have a Pavilion DV7 with two 1TB HDDs and a 32GB m-sata cache/ssd.
I would like to put the two HDDs into a RAID 1 (mirror) array.
When I enable RAID I loses the ability to boot into Windows.
I have verified that the Laptop will run the two HDDs in RAID 1 as I can run a Linux Boot disk ahd then boot into Windows 7 succesfully.
Something in the Raid /Boot configuration is not allowing the Laptop to boot directly into Windows.
Any ideas or instruction would be helpful please?
Regards
Gazman

Hello @Micro-Motive ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're having issues booting after setting up RAID 1 on your DV7-7008tx notebook.
When setting up RAID 1 mirrors you need to enable the feature and then format the drives. After they have been formatted Windows must be reinstalled. If you have not already done this, please try it now and let me know if you still have the problem.
Why: Enabling the Raid 1 feature does not automatically mirror the drives. The Boot MGR is looking for the content on both drives but is only finding it on 1 and thus fails to load.
I think it's also important to explain that setting up RAID 1 with a 32GB SSD flash along with a 1TB mechanical drive is going to drastically reduce your storage space. RAID 1 mirrors the content on both drives so it can read from both at the same time, increasing read and write speeds. The downside to this is that the mirror only works to the extent of the smallest drive. Thus, your turning your 1TB drive into a 32GB drive.
See here for more information: Chapter 19. GEOM: Modular Disk Transformation Framework This article is for FreeBSD users, an open source Unix-like operating system but the same rules apply as RAID support occurs at the BIOS level.
What you may want to do is install a hybrid drive. A hybrid drive will allow you to use the speeds of SSD at a fraction of the price. You can read about this here: Hybrid hard drives: How they work and why they matter.
Let me know if you need any more information or if installing Windows after enabling RAID 1 does not work.

I want to install the new HDD for Satellite 1410-303

Can I install the HDD MK8032GAX (80Gb Toshiba 2.5" IDE, 5400rpm, 16Mb) into my Toshiba Satellite 1410-303? Will BIOS detect it?

Unfortunately there is no official document about that because HDD upgrade is so-called dealer option and because of that there is no precise info about HDD upgrade. According to notebook specification, this notebook model is delivered with 20GB HDD.
I am pretty sure you can use 40 or 60 GB without any problems. About 80 GB I will not speculate but maybe someone has already tested and will post here in next few days.
Good luck!

(2011 13" Macbook Pro Model 8,1) I want to replace my 320GB HDD and replace it with a 6gb/s 120GB SSD. I also want to replace the optical drive with a 7200RPM HDD 750GB.

I want to use:
The SSD and enclosure to replace the optical drive with the new HDD
So basically, I want to use the SSD in the link above. I want to set this up as either preferrably a fusion drive. If not the smoothest most stable configuration. I have a Macbook Pro Early 2011 13" with 8 GB of ram, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 320GB HDD.
I want to install the SSD directly to the SATA port where the 320 GB HDD is currently. I then want to install the new HDD, preferrably a name brand 750 GB 7200RPM hard drive where the optical drive is now. I want the storage to work in a way in which the OS, and my most used programs and files get stored on the SSD, and everything else gets stored on the larger hard drive. My most preferred method would be Fusion drive, or a SPAN drive.
I would like to use a Seagate Momentus XT, but I learned that there might be issues with compatability with this. I dont mind using the 3 gb/s 500GB option, but would like to know if it would even be smart to do it. I also have no problem settling for a regular 7200 RPM hard drive.
I have read a bunch of stuff online but I still am not sure if this is even possible. I want my machine to run as fluid as possible so any info would be appreciated.

How to install two instance on one server

Dear Guru,
I want to install two instance on one server.
I have installed IDES server ( win 2k3 64 bit with SQL 2005 ECC 6.0)
Drive is
c: 20 GB for os
d: 5 gb swap
e: 5 gb swap
f: 450 GB database.
The same server i want to installed SOLMAN 4.0 with sql 2005.
Please suggest me how to installed without affcting IDES server.
Amol

Hi,
You only have to consider 2 things :
1. SAPTRANSHOST entry in hosts file will be the same for both systems
this mean that both systems will share the same transport directory
Regards,
Wojtek
This is not true. Your SAPTRANSHOST will remain the same, but you can (and should) specify independent trans directories with the DIR_TRANS and and EPS profile parameters to designate where the instance trans files should be located (i.e. /usr/sap/trans_SID). I recommend you make this change in the existing host first, and then clear out the trans directory. Let the 2nd instance install into it and then alter that one too (thereby moving the files to the new /usr/sap/trans_SID2).

How do I install two instances on the same Server and avoid a conflict?

Hi,
I have one Server and I want to install two instances of SQL Server on it.
1. Will be a default instance.
2. Will be a named instance.
The Server has an IP address of 192.168.0.10 and the default instance will be using port 1433.
I want them to share the same address, but be listening on different ports.
Do I,
1. Go into TCP/IP of the named instance and set the port numbers for all the IP's to a port number, e.g. 1976?
2. Delete the 0 from the dynamic ports sections?
3. Create an open port rule in the Windows Firewall to allow access to the Server?
Thanks

Hi,
Please see following Microsoft link
Configure SQL Server to listen on Specific port
Configure Windows firewall to allow SQL Server access

I want to install to different version on the same server

Hi all,
I want to install two different version of oracle on same server.
and Both should work parallely without disturbing to each other.
I know it is possible
But while installing what preliminary precautions I willl have to take so that it won't disturbed other running database.
waiting urgently for reply
Pramod

I would think as long as you set up separate staging areas for the two different versions that there should be no conflict. As always though - make sure you have good backups - maybe two.

How to install two oracle database on one system

i want to install two oracle databases on single system how it is possible
how i can manager oracle home and is this possible to install two different version of oracle in single home or single system forexample oracle 9 and oracle 8 .
A.R

Hi,
yes, u can have more databases on a single machine and they can be of different versions.
You have to use and initialize the correct ORACLE_HOME to create the DB of the version U use.
For ex, u have 2 homes:
C:\Oracle\Ora817 8i home and C:\Oracle\ora920 9i home
Normally, using OFA, imagine that You want create 2 db, TEST_8I for 8i home and TEST_9I for the 9i home, You shold have:
C:\Oracle\Admin\TEST_8I\<<OFA DIRS>> and C:\Oracle\Oradata\TEST_8I for 8i DB adn C:\Oracle\Admin\TEST_9I\<<OFA DIRS>> and C:\Oracle\Oradata\TEST_9I for the 9i version.
It is important, when You create the DB, that u use the executables of C:\Oracle\Ora817\bin to create 8i db and C:\Oracle\Ora920\bin for the 9i one.
Then U can use the 9i listener to manage both instances
Hope this helps

Clean install on new 1TB hdd, Yosemite keeps freezing when copying data from an ext drive and also from a usb

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out why my macbook keeps freezing when I try to drag my data across to it (even small files from a USB).
I've had to force restart over a dozen times today :/
I ran EtreCheck and there are a couple of issues (I've no idea what they mean).
If anybody could share some light into the report below I would be very grateful:

Thanks - I had a 1TB hdd in my macbook for about 12 months but it started playing up a few days ago (I got the question mark folder on bootup) so I bought another 1TB hdd (same model) and started from scratch.
My macbook is an early 2010... now I'm wondering if Yosemite is a bit too much for it?
The ext hdd is my timemachine backup, so yes I have used it often and it has my TM backups - and the usb is a new usb which Ive used a few times.
The issue seems to be when Im transferring files from an ext drive to my mac. I can use it fine and browse (worked find for 45 mins) then I tried to bring my data across.. and it copied a few gig over before total freeze.
This has happened about a dozen times.
I keep running disk utility and checking the disk. I also just ran the apple diagnostics tool that came in the apps cd - the hardware apears to be fine.
I have a 250 gb partition for the OS and the rest is my second partition for data.
I'm now wondering if I should reformat the first partition, install leopard from the CD, then upgrade to mavericks and leave it at that.
Any thoughts would be awesome. Thank you for reading and replying!

No you don't. All currently available commercial hard drives and SSDs have the same SATA connectors in the exact same place.
As to being plug and play that is up to interpretation. The drive will plug into the cable but then you have to partition and format the drive for the Mac OS X operating system and then install OS X on it or restore from a Time Machine backup or Clone from your original drive to the SSD. Those things aren't necessarily Plug & Play. Not hard, just time consuming. Some more than the others.

You can configure two AirPort Base Stations to operate independently if you so choose, but taken literally that will conflict with your goal of expanding coverage. Why do you ask?

A redemption code can only be redeemed once. It is used to acquire a serial number. The serial number is what you need to activate the installed software. If you did not keep the serial number when you first installed, you might still be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the software.
