  • Can you install a second hard drive on a Touchsmart320-1130 PC?

    Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 320-1130a Desktop Computer. No, you can't install a second hard drive in this computer. The HP TouchSmart and All-in-One computers have more in common with laptops than they do with desktops.

  • I have Microsoft Office 2011 Student Edition installed on MacBook Pro; Can I install Microsoft Office Windows 2008 onto Mac without deleting Microsoft Office 2011?

    I have previously installed Microsoft Office Student Edition 2011 on my MacBook Pro.  While installing Microsoft Office 2008 Windows; message prompts to delete Microsoft Office 2011.  Is there a way around this issue?

    Office 2008 was a Mac version. The equvalent Win version is 2007. So there is no "Office 2008 Windows." Which version are your trying to install?
    Are you using Boot Camp to run Win on your MBP and want to install Office for Win there? I can't see that being a problem..
    I do know that the regular version of Office Mac won't run properly if the trial version is present. The installer is set up to look for other versions, resumably to keep the trial version and the regualr from clashing.
    Office Mac 2011 is equiv to Office for Win 2010

  • Can I install a SECOND HARD DRIVE (ssd) on my x220i

    For some reason I'm having problems finding the answer to this.  I would like to install an ssd, but I would like to keep the existing hard drive for space.  Is the a way to install a second hard drive (an ssd) into the x220i?
    Thanks for any input!

    You can install an SSD drive in the mSATA card slot.

  • Help on installing Lightroom 5 on two computers... I have used it on a PC, but now I have bought a MacBook Pro, can I install it with the same license? If not, can I delete it on the PC and use it on Mac instead??

    Hi all,
    I just read, that you can't install lightroom 5 on the same license on two different platforms because of different services provided.
    Is it possible to delete the PC-version and continue solely with the MacVersion!?
    kind regards, and thanks in advance
    Andreas

    Unless things have changed your Lightroom purchase can be used on two PC's, 2 Macs, or one of each.  You just need to download the Mac version and install it on the Mac.  You should not have to do anything with the PC installation.

  • New macbook pro - can i use my old hard drive?

    Have a new MacBook Pro coming tomorrow to replace to an older MBP.  Everything is on the old HD and have been reading that I can switch the HDs out but would have to reinstall the operating system so all the different components from the new MBP are recognized and will be funtional.  Seems pretty easy but I don't want to screw it up thinking it's too simple so I want to see if there is a good way to pull this off or another way to do this.  My hope at the end of the process is that I have my files and software loaded on the old HD on the new MBP.  Any tips so I don't screw it up?

    The old MBP has Snow Leopard 10.6 but likely is not at 10.6.8.  If I get an enclosure for the old HD can I update it to 10.6.8 if I boot the new MBP from the external drive?
    Simple Run Software Update or go to the Apple download site and download the 10.6.8 Combo Update then run it. Your 10.6.x will be updated to 10.6.8. Then you should be able to connect that drive to your new MBP, either internally or by some type of SATA to USB adapter (enclosure or just an adapter), and boot the new MBP from that old drive.
    Be aware that Lion does not run older PPC apps. So that is one big reason for running, installing, Snow Leopard on newer Macs.

  • MacBook Pro can no longer see the hard drive

    I've got a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo, 15-inch.
    Okay, so I was chasing the nazis out of North Africa in Call of Duty 2 when the game froze. Command-Option-Escape was unresponsive, so I held down the power button to shut the whole thing down. When I brought it back up, I got the flashing folder icon.
    After yelling a few words I shan't repeat here, I booted off the installation DVD, then started up Disk Utility to try to repair the disk. However, Disk Utility only sees the DVD; it doesn't see the hard drive at all. Neither does Startup Disk or System Profiler. (The hard drive would be under the ATA section in System Profiler's menu, right? It only shows the DVD drive.) If I try to go ahead with the OS X installation, at the "Select a Destination" screen, where the list of disks should be is disturbingly blank. So according to every method I've tried so far, it's as if my hard drive has been entirely disconnected.
    This was my Christmas present, and I was hoping to get at least two years out of it, not two weeks. Anyone have any idea how to get this beautiful machine back on its feet again? I'm familiar with Unix and not afraid of using the command line, but I'm not sure what to try there.

    Okay, second question: How does this forum software work? According to the thread list, someone named MacWizard has replied to this thread, but I can't see it.
    MacWizard, if you could email your reply to spearbrave at gmail point c0m so I can read it there, I'd appreciate it.

  • My MacBook Pro can not find my internal hard drive.

    My computer does come on. And I have a MacBook Air 2009. Just some history, my computer froze on me one day. So I restart it and a screen with a folder and question mark showed up. So I called apple and got some trouble shooting done. Nothing worked. So they ended up sending me another installer disk. And that did not work. Could not find my internal hard drive. So I took it to a apple store and the guy who looked at it told me that it was water damaged and would cost $700 to fix. So I pushed it to the side for year and decided to take a further look into it recently. And found some information where people had the same issue and was advices their hard drive could be dead. So I'm thinking about getting a 2nd opinion and taking it some where else. I'm just wondering could I really just replace my hard drive and be fine with my computer? If its really water damaged wouldn't it not work? Does replacing the hard drive cost a lot to do?

    Its extremely unlikely your HD is water damaged, everything on your internals in your macbook Pro would FRY long before water seeped its way into your HD,....the HD circuitry on the outside of the HD however is another story.
    If your computer IS in fact water damaged, then yes, replacing the hard drive wouldnt fix anything.
    Replacing the HD yourself , IF your HD is dead and at fault, can be done by yourself easily and cost around $65.
    In any regard, on a 2009 computer....., 700$ could buy you a nice MUCH NEWER and faster like new refurbished MAC,........as such it would be best not to consider such an option.

  • Pavilon 500-319na can I install a second hard drive

    pavilon 500-319na second hard drive

    ‎01-02-2015 09:30 AM
    Operating System: Windows 8.1
    I bought an HP Pavilion 500 - 319na desktop in summer and want to install a 2nd hard drive. There are spare connections on the board and the power cable to the internal hard drive has a spare connection. From what I read it needs to be SATA 3. I have read conflicting advice on this board.  Some say yes, some say no.
    OK, there seems to be only one bay (a poor oversight by HP) but provided I find a way of securing another drive is there any reason why it should not work.
    From what I read it should be max 2Tb's.
    I want a definitive answer please!
    Win 8.1 64 bit.
    This is the hard drive I plan to buy.  The spec says XP, Vista, Win 7, but am I right in thinking it should work with win 8.1

    As I said to you in the other cross posting (desktop hardware):
    You can obtain 3.5" hard drive cage from here for $11 shipped.  Granted it has a 120mm fan and space for 4 drives, but for the price, you can mod/cut all you want.
    Now your other issue/question:  You will want a SataIII 6GB/sec drive 2TB, 7200 RPM.

  • Early 2008 MacBook Pro can't install Mac OS X

    My Early 2008 MBP has a dual hard drive configuration. The stock HDD has all my documents and data on it, the SSD that used to have OS X installed had to be formatted. I tried to use Recovery Mode to reinstall OS X, but the install screen stops at the very end of the installation and says that it could not download the necessary files for the installation. I have tried installing on both of the hard drives even with previous versions of OS X only to yield the same result.

    Check the device and check the volume in Disk Utility. Device must be partitioned in GUID Partition Table scheme. Volume has to be in MacOS Extended (Journaled) format. Erase and repartition as needed.

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

    My XP tower is no longer working but there is some information on the hard drive that I would like to retrieve, my present
    PC uses Windows 7 operating system. Can my old hard drive be installed into the new HP without ruining the new
    computer or the old hard drive ?
    This question was solved.

    Yes, this assumes that the old XP hard drives is healthy.
     You may use a USB external hard rive caddy for the old drive or you can directly connect it through the SATA port on you MoBo on you new computer. 99% of the time there will be extra power connections from the power supply on your new machine to power the old drive.
     All this assumes that the old drive is SATA interface _ it may be IDE, in which case you would need an adapter to hook it directly to the new computers MoBo.
     I don't believe there are any IDE USB external hard drive caddies, although you may want to check to be sure.
     The one on top is SATA and the bottom is IDE.

  • Can i install a second hard drive for back up/storage

    i have 1td already and could exchange my mac mini for the server editions but im told its much more complicated
    i just want to have enough drive space, is it possible to get another hard drive and have it in the mac mini for back up / storage
    or would i simply be best to get a USB hub with an external drive  ?

    Yes, you can add a 2nd drive. You can review this iFixit.com page for instructions. You would need to purchase their data doubler kit which would include all the parts you need to add it. All you need to remember is to follow their instructions and TAKE YOUR TIME.   There are several little screws and plugs that you have to be careful with. Otherwise, it's a breeze to take the Mini apart and add a 2nd drive.
    All the Mac Mini Server has extra is an additional 1TB hard drive and the OS X Server app. If you want OS X Server, you can purchase it on the App Store for $19.99 US.

  • How to Install a 2nd SATA drive

    Hi,
    I asked this before and got many views to my question but no responses, so I thought I would try one more time.
    I have a PM G4 Gigabit ethernet and have two ATA drives installed and one SATA drive installed via a SATA PCI card.
    What I would like to know is how do you or can you install a second SATA drive on top of the one that's already there? There is room for it to fit on top of the one I have installed, but the sled only provides for one to be mounted. The ATA sled is configured for two.
    Any way to get a sled that fits where the SATA drives are installed, or how is that done? My PCI card does have an available SATA connector.
    Sorry for the seemingly basic question, but I really don't know the answer.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Thnaks for the response David. Well, bot do I feel silly. I now see what I somehow never saw before. there is a space in between the ATA driove slots and the SATA drive slot whicvh is where the 4th drive fits. Well, Duuuhhhh?
    I have thought of going with a SATA external drive, thing is there are not many SATA external drives out there, also would need a SATA pci card for that. I see that Firm Tek is just now getting into that so I may wait a while. Its' a 160GB SATA drive so it would be a nice addition to backups, testing drives etc.
    So what part of Georgia?

  • Satellite A300-15M - Can I install a second HDD?

    Hi there.
    I own a SatelliteA300-15M. I bought the laptop 2 years ago. I have already 250GB hard drive which came with the laptop. Recently I got my laptop serviced from local shop. I noticed that it has an additional slot for another hard drive. I saw a post that some of the A300/A305 laptops have the space for second hard drive but not the connectors.
    If anyone owns A300-15M can they please tell me if i can install a second internal hard drive in my model? Is there a sure way to find if I can really install a second hard drive?

    Hello
    > but not the connectors.
    So the case is claer: If you dont have a second SATA connector, you cant install a second HDD.
    Check also the forum regarding such questions. The point is that one notebook series (e. g. Satellite A300) is always equipped with the same case but the hardware is different. So not all models have the same features. ;)
