Boot from second hdd?

Hello!
My laptop: t420s.
This laptop has an extra slim 320 gb HDD as factory default.
My question: if I buy a second HDD drive caddy, and install a second hdd (SSD) the laptop can boot from the drive tah can be found in the caddy?
Thanks!

Technically yes, but not recommended. The primary bay is where is should be. You can move your existing HD into the caddy for additional storage if you want.
Normally the caddy is not always powered and if it ever is shut down the system will crash. Keeping it powered and online is not documented nor 100% guaranteed.
Imaging the HD for the SSD using another drive or cloning from the HD to the SSD are the most straight forward methods.
Acronis Trueimage is one of the better tools, while other exist. I would NOT wipe the original drive for some time afterwards in case something goes wrong or fails. That drive is a full backup.
Also before even starting I would make the recovery DVD's if you haven't yet. SSD do fail and when they do there is little warning.

  • Installed, Win 7 Won't Boot from Second HDD

    Hi ya'll,
    I've successfully installed Win7 64 Pro on a second internal HD on my fall '12 MBP (X.8.3), located in the optical bay. After having re-attached the first drive, Win7 shows up in the boot selection menu, but when selected, does not boot (error: "please insert boot disk and press any key").
    My install process was as follows:
    Format second drive into two partitions [OS Extended, FAT32] using disk utility, making sure that the second partition is provided a master boot record.
    Disconnect primary drive (SSD), so that the second hdd is recognized as bootable from the Win7 installer.
    Boot from prepared bootcamp thumbdrive using a fresh ISO.
    Use windows installer to format FAT32 partition as NTFS.
    Install windows
    Install drivers
    Update Win 7 and bootcamp drivers
    Power off
    Recconnect primary drive (SSD)
    Power on
    Win 7 shows in boot menu. Instead of working, dead-ends at "no bootable device".
    Can still boot from SSD or thumbdrive, but not Win7 partition
    Arggggh!
    Is there a setting related to the HD controller that needs to be tweaked to make this work? Is there a known issue with the controller firmware? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    *Take an iMac and Windows 7 Blue screen fun*
    the final part of the Win 7 install and Mr Blue screen due to the Nividia driver supplied on Win 7 DVD kills iMac GT7300
    1. Install... and Blue screen!
    2.Re-boot but from the Win 7 install disk – seems to work if you hold alt on boot up and select the disk to boot from!
    3.When you get into the Windows installer, click past the language selection. Then click "Repair your computer".
    4.Windows will scan for installations and prompt you with a list. Select your "C" drive and click Next.
    5.You should be presented with a windows titled *System Recovery Options*.
    At the bottom of this list you should see +Command Prompt+.
    Select the command prompt.
    6.When the console opens, you can delete the offending driver using the following command:
    DEL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\NVLDDMKM.SYS
    7.Close the command prompt window and click the Restart button.
    This time, boot from your hard disk.
    You will complete the install with no Blue screen.
    Having done this go to the Nivida web site and download the GT 7 series drivers for Windows 7.
    Install, re-boot and ...
    +*... install Bootcamp drivers and right off your back to Blue Screen...*+
    Repeat 1-7 and install newly downloaded drivers and off you go

  • Booting from second HDD in Envy 17

    I have just installed a second (hybrid) HDD in my brand new Envy 17 3270nr. Since this new HDD is supposed to be faster than the original one, I would like to have this new one as my main disk (disk 0) and boot from it. I have cloned the original HDD (disk 0) onto the new one (disk 1) and everything looks OK when I open Disk Management but in the BIOS setup it seems I cannot choose between disks to boot from, I can only switch the boot order between other internal or external devices and a internal hard drive. Would very much appreciate your guidance !
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    It is real simple...you can't boot from a drive in the second bay. Switch them.

  • P67a-GD80 won't boot from USB HDD

  • How to boot from second hard drive in Ultra Bay

    Hi all!
    I recently installed a SSD drive as my primary disk and mounted my old hard drive in the Ultrabay. It still has all its original partitions, which are:
    Windows "System Drive"
    Windows OS
    Ubuntu
    Windows Programs
    General Data
    I can access 1., 2., and 5. from within my new Win7  install on the SSD.
    My SSD drive is fully encrypted with TrueCrypt.
    Is there any way I can boot from the HDD in the Ultrabay? I still want to access some of the old data on the system drive.
    Ideally, there would also be a way to keep the Ubuntu partition and boot it when required. Any chance of making that happen?
    TIA
    Matt

    Hit F12 to pull up the boot menu when you turn the machine on. Select the drive in the Ultrabay. Beware that the drive you boot off of will become the C: drive until you boot off the other drive again. One thing you should do if you haven't already done it is put the stock drive back in the main drive bay, boot into Windows, and burn a recovery disc set. You may need this in the future and it is a good thing to have should you decide to sell the system later since you sill be able to restore it to factory condidtion.
    If you just need to access the other partiton all you need to do is right click Computer in Windows Explorer, select Manage, click Disk Management, and assign the partition a drive letter. I would recommend just burning the recovery disc set and wiping out the stock drive so that you can use it for storage.

  • Mobo Support for booting from USB hdd

    Hi,
    I have a K8N Diamond.
    How can I check whether my mobo can support booting from USB hdd?
    I know it can boot from the USB-CDROM.
    If not, do I need a bios update?

    How to identify your BIOS and m/b version
    But please don't go flashing your BIOS just for the sake of doing so.
    Your USB HDD will be listed under Hard Disks in BIOS, there won't be a USB-HDD option
    Wow, thanks for the link and the pointer. I've found out where the USB hdd is now.
    I won't flash my bios for the sake of that thanks to you, but I'm upgrading to a Dual-Core soon and I realised my bios is w7100nms v1.0.
    So I have to flash my bios soon. Any tips regarding this?

  • Does hp dc7900 support booting from 3tb hdd?

    does hp dc7900 minitower support booting from 3tb hdd?

    Hi:
    Probably not.
    In order to be able to boot from a 3 TB HDD, you need:
    1. A UEFI BIOS, which I do not believe the dc7900 has.
    There is a picture (see page 5 at the link below) of the HP splash screen for an HP business desktop that has a UEFI BIOS. If your HP splash screen doesn't look like the one in the picture, then you will not be able to boot from a 3 TB HDD.
    2. A GPT-formatted hard drive.

  • Boot from Raid-hdd with a controller card installed?

    Hi,
    I have a problem. I've just intalled a Windows 2000 my HDD3 (IDE-raid) and everthing went well. I've put the 1st boot option to SCSI and it boots normal. But when I add a hdd to my controller card (Promise Ultra100) it doesn't boot the raid, instead, it tries to boot from the hdd on the controller-card. I've just got this card, and had a KT3-Ultra ARU before. There I could change between "Ultra-0, Ultra-1, Raid-0 and Raid-1 etc. etc." in the bios, where Ultra stands is the Controller card and Raid in the onboard raid. So, why can't I do this on this, newer card? Any1 know how to work around it or how to fix it?
    This is what I have:
    IDE1:
            Master:  Western 180GB
            Slaev:    Maxtor  250GB
    IDE2:
            Master: NEC 1300A
            Slave:  Lite-on-it 40125W
    IDE3 (Raid):
            Master: Maxtor 80GB
            Slave:   Maxtor 80GB
    Controller card IDE4:
            Master: Western 250GB
            Slave:   Western 250GB
    Controller card IDE5:
            Master: Western 200GB
            Slave:   Seagate 30Gb
    Controller card = Promise Ultra100
    And yes, I have the modded version of the bios couse I wanted to have a real raid on my IDE-drives. How can it even be raid if it's only one drive? But that doesn't really matter, couse the boot-options are the same as before.

    Hi, I did as u said and bought a new controller card (Titan Electronics Inc. Ultra ATA/133 IDE). But it didn't help, it's the same as with the older Promise card.
    This is what happenes:
    When I add a hdd to the controller card it finds the hdd and such. Everything works normal untill the os-boot-process begins. Because there is only one alternative called "SCSI" in the bios, where u chose where to boot from it thinks it should boot from the controller card (cause it is a kind of SCSI-card). But I want it to boot from the raided-drivers on the onboard raid (whitch also is a kind of SCSI-card). The thing is that it mixes them up, and only tries to boot from the controller card i've installed, and ignores the raided-drivers. When I had my Kt3 Ultra-aru I could chose between booting from:
    IDE0
    IDE1
    IDE2
    IDE3
    CDRom
    Raid0
    Raid1
    (this options only showed up when I had my Promise ULTRA controller installed on it)
    ULTRA0
    ULTRA1
    ULTRA2
    ULTRA3
    But with this, newer and more expensive card, I can only chose SCSI in the boot sequnce.
    Any idea how to fix that? Maybe to mail to the MSI so they fast can added that choice to the BIOS in an update?
    Would be thankfull for any help possible

  • No BIOS support for USB? Cannot boot from USB HDD

    Hi,
    I was attempting to install a couple of operating systems (Linux, Windows Vista CTPs) on my external hard disk (USB 2.0, Firewire). And I cannot seem to - because there does not seem to be any way to specify USB device support in your boot sequence. It seems the BIOS configuration is limited to these 5 basic icons (no text underneath to even let you know what they stand for) - which seem to stand for HDD, CD/DVD, network, etc, but no USB hard drives (I don't believe FDD counts)?
    Windows Vista's installation for example complains that the BIOS does not support booting off my external hard disk - as does linux.
    Or am I missing something . . . ?
    Regards,
    -krish

    Hi Krish
    As far as I know it is not possible to boot from external HDD. If you want to install more different operating systems you can do it directly on the notebook HDD or even install them as virtual machine. I use VMware Workstation and I have install two different operating systems there (W2K and Linux).

  • Booting from second hd

    Hi all, i got debian on the first drive (hda) on the MBR. I want to install archlinux on the slave hd (hdd), should i install grub on the MBR also? Will this fly?
    If i skip installing Grub and edit my sources.list on the first hd, will it boot the second hd? The thing is i don't know what to put there.
    Here's my hda menu.lst:
    title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-3-686
    root            (hd0,0)
    kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-3-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro noapic nolapic bootkbd=es
    initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-3-686
    savedefault
    Would something like this work?
    Example:
    title          Arch Linux
    root           (hd1,0)
    kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-<whatever> earlymodules=piix
    initrd           /boot/initrd.img-<kernel>
    Or should install grub on the second hd on the MBR too?

    When you install Arch, just make sure you install GRUB in the MBR of the correct hard drive. Or you can just edit the menu.lst of your Debian install. I have a few distros on different hard drives and like them all to have their own GRUB install.. don't ask me why. Most motherboards have a boot or BBS option (like hitting F8 or something similar during post, depending on your BIOS) that will allow you to choose which hard drive to boot to from there.

  • Mac Pro Won't Boot from any HDD

    My system:
    2008 8-core Mac Pro running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
    4 HDDs installed, 2 of them are a striped RAID 0 that is the bootup volume, a couble of external hard drives (1 of them a bootable clone), a DVI display
    backed up with Time Machine; thanks for the concern.
    Problem:
    I came home one day, and my computer was acting funny. It was fine earlier in the day. Time Machine had failed a backup, an AFP mount had unmounted with an error, Dropbox was trying to sync but couldn't because of bad access permissions for a file, and Terminal wouldn't open, giving me a message about an invalid shell. I restarted, and it failed to restart, so I turned it off. I thought it was a corrupt filesystem (and striping is unstable, so it would make sense), but no, no other bootable disks worked.
    Boot chime plays, grey screen comes up with Apple logo, wheel spins forever.
    ATI graphics card fan runs pretty fast after a minute or so.
    Light is solid, not blinking to indicate a RAM problem.
    What I've tried:
    Googled the problem. Got results about MacBook Pros. Did "-MacBook" in the search. Got similar questions but no solutions for my Mac.
    Tried booting from an install DVD and the clone. Same thing happened.
    Reset the PRAM (twice). No effect.
    Reset the SMC (twice). No effect.
    Unplugged the monitor. Graphics card fan wasn't loud, but the computer still wouldn't boot.
    Unplugged all USB and FireWire devices. No effect.
    Left the computer unplugged for an hour, which also resets the SMC. Who knows, this sometimes works! It didn't.
    Any ideas?

    Booting in Safe Mode did not help, but it did show a grey circle with a cross through it instead of an Apple logo like before.
    I remembered that there's an Apple Hardware Test (a bit hard to figure out how to do on your specific machine ), and I booted into it. Before I even ran the test, it told me that there is an error. The error message was just the name of one of my RAM slots. So... a piece of RAM might be dead. I ran the extended test, and it was halfway through after 30 minutes, but I stopped it because I don't have enough time. I have to continue this tomorrow.
    As for the GPU, its fans might just be running because the system runs them at a high level by default when it's in certain states. I know older Macs did this in Target Disk Mode with every fan, and the GPU fan was running during the AHT too. At least I hope this is the case. Right now, it seems beyond a hard drive problem. Maybe booting from a DVD works because it only uses 1 RAM slot or something. I'd much rather have a piece of inexpensive RAM be dead than my GPU, and besides, I've kinda wanted to upgrade the RAM anyway.

  • W540 - boot from second hard drive?

    Morning,
    I've recently got an ultrabay adapter and wanted to know if I could run two separate OSs, one from each hard disc.
    Effectively, I would like to have one version of windows on the internal HDD for general day to day stuff and one as a programming environment and be able to select which to boot from at start up.
    I know I could just use a VM, but some of this stuff (Siemens PCS7) can put quite a strain on the system and I'd rather not have that overhead.
    Thanks,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello.
    To run a dual OS setup, you have to turn off Secure Boot and set your boot options to both UEFI and Legacy.
    I run a dual boot setup Win8.1/Fedora on both my T440's and though it is possible to set it up with UEFI boot
    I just skip that hassle and run both OS in legacy mode. If you're planning on dual-booting different Windows
    editions, that even applies more.
    Further info here: Dual Booting Windows 7 with Windows 8 Pre-Installed UEFI
    In BIOS go to Security - Secure Boot - Set to Disabled.
    Then go to Startup - Set UEFI/Legacy Boot to Both.
    A little further down, set Boot device list F12 Option to Enabled and then you can press F12 during Post
    to select which drive to boot from.
    Cheers!

  • IMac won't boot from any HDD or install disc

    Hi everybody.
    This morning my iMac just didn't wanna boot up, it powers on and the start sound plays but nothing more, all white screen.
    Tried holding OPT at start, my mouse cursor becomes visible and active but none of my startup drives show. Also tried booting from both SL and leopard install DVD, it reads the disc for a minute or two then spits it out, nothing on the screen, all white.
    Tried resetting PRAM, holding down CMDOPT+PR, it reboots but same thing after that.
    My internal HDD crashed recently so I've been booting from my external drive which has SL installed. This has worked fine unitl now, last night I shut the machine down it did take an extra two minutes to power off which was out of the ordinary.
    All help appreciated which can avoid me from sending it in for repair.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Since my internal drive had been failing I guessed it had to be the culprit and right I was. After I swapped the HDD (plus swiped the interior clean) my iMac was like new again plus I didn't have to send it away.
    But what I can't quite understand is why a bad internal drive which was not in use would hinder the mac from booting from the install DVD all of a sudden.

  • Portege R100 won't boot from the HDD - missing operating system

    Hello,
    I have a Portege R100 that won't boot from the HD, I get the message "missing operating system".
    I don't have a compatible CD or floppy driver, I just have a 1.8 inch case for the hd, it works, i also have norton ghost 2003 installed in another computer (a toshiba satellite A45).
    I tried to recover the disk using norton and the ghost image in the recovery cds but it keep asking for a password.
    I would like to know if there is a way to use the recovery cds with norton and the usb driver and avoid the password screen (or where can I get the password?).
    Thanks!

    Yes, I know that the recovery cds are password protected, that's the password I'm talking about.
    I'm not trying to boot from a USB stick, I'm using ghost 2003, this way when I reboot the USB device is recognized as a second hard drive.
    I have the option to use the cds to recover from the ghost enviroment but I would need the gho password.
    What I would like to know is if there is a command line to force the cd to ghost the second driver instead of the first.
    I'm not a great fan of norton ghost but I don't have another option, all cd drivers that I have are incompatible with Portege R100.
    Thanks,
