Can i add an extra hard drive to my laptop?

I have a HP Pavilion g7-1219wm Notebook PC and i was wondering if there was room for an extra hard drive ? I'm thinking about maybe getting a 1 TB hard drive and run Win 8 on it and run Win 7 on the hard drive thats in it now because some of my apps won't work with Win 8. Thanks

No it only takes one hard drive:

You can dual boot Windows 8 and Windows 7 on one hard drive, however. Microsoft has made it harder than in past versions of Windows, but it can be done:

    You could put your install disc on a USB Flash drive with Disk Utility. Also, here is the USB optical drive enclosure I bought. He raised the price a few bucks. Mine ran $10.00 with the shipping.

    Hi,
    For many 17" (or 17.3") machines such as Envy 17, dv,  Pavilion 17 .... you can add a second HDD (my old loan dv7 has two HDD's and my current loan Envy 17 also has 2 HDD's). You would need the following kit:

  • How can I add an additional hard drive to my W520?

    I have a Yoga 2 tablet - 1050L. A few days ago, it upgraded to Lollipop version 5.0.1. Hortly thereater, I noticed that it had also erased my APN for my local cellular service (I'm currently working in Bolivia, have Tigo as my carrier - LTE service.) Everything was fine with KitKat, but now, I can't re-configure my APN. Wifi works fine (unlike some comments I've seen in other discussions), Lollipop has done several small upgrades since installing, but still, I can't use the tablet at this time unless I'm on Wifi..... HELP!!

  • Can you add a second hard drive

    Just wondering. what is the exact mobo used in the imac 20inch
    is there an extra sata port. would like to add an extension to the ports on the back and be able to add a second hard drive at the speeds that sata allows

    No, you can't add another hard drive. There isn't an extra SATA port because the Apple Engineers had to squeeze everything in as close as possible to make the iMac this small and thin. The only user-serviceable/upgradeable part of the iMac is the Memory. For other changes, an Apple Authorized Service Provider has to open up your computer. Another alternative could be a USB 2.0 or FireWire External Hard drive, which would work at up to 500 Mbits/sec.

  • HT1178 can I add a external hard drive to my time capsule

    I have a time capsule. and I want to add a external hard drive. how can I do that?

    Buy any USB external drive and plug it in. However, it will not be usable as additional storage for the Time Capsule. It can only be used as a separate drive you can use for storage or as a separate backup drive if you switch to it in Time Machine.

  • Can I add a second hard drive on Qosmio X500-12Q?

    Hi,
    i'd like to know if its possible to add a second hard drive to the X500-12Q ?
    i suppose the space is available but i'd like to know if the connector is here & everything
    so i could just open the enclosure and plug it in.
    thanks

    Hi jeandujardin,
    I dont have Qosmio X500 but generally speaking its no problem to exchange the internal HDD with a SSD but I dont know if the model has 2 SATA connectors.
    If you are not sure ask the salesman if its possible to install a second HDD or SSD.
    SSDs are no problem because they have the same SATA interface as normal HDDs.

  • Pavilion dv7 - Can I add a second hard drive?

    I have an HP Pavilion dv7 2173cl laptop. I've read that I can add a second internal hard drive. Is that correct? If so, what is the max size that it will take? Any special type that I should buy?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    This model allows to use 2 HDD's. Max capacity is 500 GB.
    To install second drive you will need Hard Drive Caddy and Cable Connector. You may buy them here.
    Here is service documentation for your model. On page 46 you may check where you may install secondary hard drive.

  • Can I add an internal hard drive to my iMac G4?

    My HD only has about 5GB left out of 80, and I know that's not good. If I can't add an internal, can I swap the hard drive for a new larger one myself?

    If you follow a good take-apart guide you can have the job done in a few hours. I replaced both drives on my old G4 w/ this guide:
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/iMacg4/imacg4takeapart.html
    Just make sure you read the guide first and print it out so you don't miss anything as you begin surgery : )

    Hi,
    Yes, you can add it. A 160GB ssd is listed as compatible but I think that the capacity is not limited. 
    What I did when I replaced my hdd by a ssd was to perform a fresh install of Windows (the same version) using the product number (don't register Windows online!) at the bottom of the laptop. Then I waited for a message for registering the OS and registered it over phone. Perhaps a minimized image recovery created in HP recovery manager might restore the original system on a solid state drive. These are usually smaller than the original hard drives and the recovery process ends up with an error with the original image recovery disks.
    edit: You will need a bracket (in case that you want to keep the old hdd in the secondary hdd bay) etc so the right part number is: 681976-001. Run the part number on google or ebay to get it.
