Can I install two regular (non SSD) drives on an iMac?

I noticed that you can configure an iMac to come with one regular hard drive and one SSD drive. I was wondering if you could install two regular drives instead? I would like to use one hard drive as a back up drive but in order for that to work they both would need to be about the same capacity.

There simply isn't enough room for two regular sized (3.5 inches) harddisks.
The SSD has a size of 2.5 inches and for that there seems to be enough room for that size.

  • Can I install a Hybrid HDD SSD drive in my Macbook early 2009?

    I was thinking of installing this new drive into my 13-inch White MacBook early 2009 edition.  I have read community pages stating it should be fine so long as i do not go over 9.5 mm height and is a 2.5 inch SATA.
    http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Momentus-Solid-Hybrid-ST95005620AS/dp/B003NSBF32/r ef=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp
    But I would rather be safe than out all the cash.
    Please let me know if this is a good decision.  (Note I am not high on cash at the moment and am using some winnings from a hackathon to purchase the item.)

    I installed one in an early 2008 MacBook 4,1 and it worked perfectly.....I would expect the same results for the early 2009.....

  • Can Creative Cloud apps be installed on a non-boot drive?

    Can Creative Cloud apps be installed on a non-boot drive? If so, how? I want to install on a different drive on my current system because my boot drive (an SSD) is rather full.

    Since I have an SSD drive with rather limited capacty, I did this, and it sort of worked. The Creative Cloud did not give me an option of where to install it. As soon as it installed, I did as instructed above and changed the default. However, Photoshop started installing immediately after I installed the Creative Cloud and did not ask if I wanted to install it. However, it installed correctly in the drive I stipulated in preferences. Photoshop did not install a shortcut onto my desktop, but I had to create one manually.
    I noticed that certain items still installed on my SSD. There is an Adobe folder under Programs on the C drive, and there is also an Adobe folder in my SSD under Users.
    The only other place I discovered to direct files is in the Photoshop preferences for where to store my scratch files.

  • Can't install any OS on SSD - DV7-6030ew

    Hello,
    I have Kingston SSDNow V SNV125 64GB (~4 years old) which had been running fine in my PC BOX. I have recently bought new SSD and decided to put old SSD into my DV7-6030ew laptop. So I took out HDD from NB and replaced it with Kingston SSD.
    The problem is that I can't install any OS on this SSD. I tried:
    XP - after "Press  any key to boot from CD or DVD" I got setup screen and after few seconds I got BSOD. I tried three different XP versions - always the same BSOD.
    Win 7 - tried many times. System always installs successfully but then after random driver installation or Windows Update system doesn't boot. It freezes at windows splash screen or launches "System Recovery Options". I always install Intel Chipset driver and Intel MEI first. These two never killed the OS. OS gets killed later after GPU/Wi-Fi/Fingerprint/Other driver. Sometimes it happens that I setup all drivers but Windows Update kills OS. My last installation ended up with "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" during boot and now every restart it freezes at splash screen. I tried installing Intel Rapid Storage but it doesn't help.
    Win 8 with Update 1 - always installs successfully and almost always I'm able to setup all drivers (even through Windows Update). It always dies after Windows Update (random KBxxxxx).
    Ubuntu Linux - Installed successfully. Right after desktop showed up I restarted it (I didn't change anything) and I got "no such partition" error during boot.
    I have bought HP Sata cable replacement on EBay and put the old HDD into the second bay and connected it through this cable. So I have SSD in first bay connect with original HP cable and HDD in second bay connected with replacement cable. I have created two new 40GB partitions on HDD and setup two new Windows installation on this HDD. Both installed successfully. No problem with drivers, windows update etc. I tried copying one of these good installations from HDD partition to SSD using "Paragon migrate OS to SSD". It went well but during boot -> splash screen -> "System Recovery Options". I also tried to copy it through Paragon Partition Manager from Hiren's Boot CD but during boot I got this screen.
    Unfortunately the SSD is old and there is no firmware upgrade for it. NB has the newest F.1B bios installed.
    Why I can't install anything on this SSD? Please help.
    Regards
    Rychu

    Hey @RychuPL ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to use your SSD in your DV7 notebook.
    Were both drives connected during the tests that you have run? If so please disconnect the secondary drive and test with only the SSD installed. It could be that the BIOS is picking up part of the Boot MGR from the original drive and attempting to boot from it in some way. Only thing that really makes sense to me at the moment.
    Another "solution" (and I use the term very loosely in this case) is to install Windows 7 or 8 while offline and turn off the Windows updates to prevent the crash, or if it crashes after a specific update, to uninstall and block that specific update:
    To do this follow these steps: (Windows 8)
    1. Boot into safe mode: Windows Startup Settings (including safe mode)
    2. Press Windows Key + X.
    3. Click Programs and Features.
    4. Click View Installed Updates on the left hand side.
    5. Click on the Installed On heading to sort by date installed.
    6. Click on the update that was recently installed.
    7. Click Uninstall at the top.
    8. After you've uninstalled the updates test the startup.
    If it works, block the Windows updates that caused the issue: (Windows 8)
    1. Press Windows Key + X.
    2. Click Control Panel
    3. Click System and Security.
    4. Click Windows Update.
    5. Click Check for updates to rescan for available updates.
    6. Click on # important updates are available. Where # is the number of available updates.
    7. Right click on the update and choose Hide update. If the update is not shown, click the Optional tab on the left.
    If you use Windows 7 follow these steps to get into the update list:
    1. Boot into safe mode: Start your computer in safe mode
    2. Click Start.
    3. Type Update in the search.
    4. Click View installed updates.
    5. Click on the Installed On heading to sort by date installed.
    6. Click on the update that was recently installed. 
    7. Click Uninstall at the top.
    8. After you've uninstalled the updates test the startup.
    To block the updates in Windows 7:
    1. Click Start.
    2. Type Update in the search.
    3. Click Windows Update.
    4. Click Check for updates.
    5. Click on # important updates are available. Where # is the number of available updates.
    6. Right click on the update and choose Hide update. If the update is not shown, click the Optional tab on the left.
    To be frank I really don't have any suggestions other than that considering you've tried multiple operating systems with identical results. 
    Hopefully removing the HDD allows the SSD to work. In which case formatting the drive or running KillDisk would be the best option.
    Hopefully that helps!

    RE: SATA Bus speed:
    Typical Rotating drives available today, whatever their SATA spec, can source data off the spinning platters no faster than about 125MBytes/sec.
    SATA 3 is rated at 6G bits/sec, which theoretically is about 750 Mega Bytes/sec
    SATA 2 is rated at 3G bits/sec, which is theoretically about 375 Mega Bytes/sec
    SATA 1 is rated at 1.5G bits/sec, which is theoretically about 187.5 Meg Bytes/sec
    None of the SATA Busses is a bottleneck for consumer Rotating drives you can buy today. Trying to speed up the SATA Bus will not provide any real-world performance increases for Rotating Drives.

  • HOWTO: Create a Boot Configuration That Has No Driver Signature Checks. Disable Driver Integrity Checks and Install a Custom Non-Signed Driver

    Hello,
    Recently, I had a task where I needed to install a custom non-signed driver onto my Windows 8 64-bit setup. As it is known, Windows has driver enforcement policies that, as a security measure, do not allow you to install non-signed drivers.
    I did not want to alter my current boot configuration so I decided to create a separate boot entry that would have driver signing policies disabled. For some reason I did not find any good source that would contain a step-by-step instruction on completing
    this task, so I decided that I'd better share my experience here.
    Lastly, there are multiple ways how you could turn off driver enforcement policies, but I find the way to do this via boot manager.
    Here's how you can do that.
    1. Press WindowsKey and type 'cmd' (without quotes) to find Command prompt, then click Command prompt icon. If you have User Account Control turned on, hold Ctrl+Shift keys pressed when clicking the icon.
    This will force Windows to ask you for elevation of command prompt. Elevation is necessary for editing Boot Configuration Database (BCD), the database used by Windows boot manager to store boot settings.
    2. In the User Account Control window click Yes to confirm elevation of command shell.
    3. At the command prompt type
    bcdedit
    to list your BCD entries.
    This will give you an output like:
    Windows Boot Manager

    The section that starts with Windows Boot Manager lists current settings for the boot menu. Here you find what boot entry is chosen by default, this is the one what you will boot into if you do not select any boot entry in the
    boot menu.
    The following record
    default {current}
    indicates that by default my Windows boots into configuration which I use at the moment (currently booted Windows configuration).
    To find out what exactly is current configuration, look into the list of boot entries, records that contain boot loader configuration and are titled as Windows Boot Loader in the bcdedit output.
    For example, the entry shown above is one of my boot configurations. This is one of the boot entries listed on the boot manager screen when I start my PC and it looks like:
    Windows Boot Loader
    identifier {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
    device vhd=[D:]\win8prowmc01.vhdx
    path \Windows\system32\winload.efi

    recoveryenabled Yes
    isolatedcontext Yes
    allowedinmemorysettings 0x15000075
    osdevice vhd=[D:]\win8prowmc01.vhdx
    systemroot \Windows
    resumeobject {a329b5cf-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
    nx OptIn
    bootmenupolicy Standard
    This record has a unique GUID identifier that can be used to reference this boot entry, which is:
    identifier {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
    If we look at the Windows Boot Manager settings, we'll see this entry is the first in order to be displayed in the boot menu on OS start (I marked the unique bits):
    displayorder {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
    {a329b5cc-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
    It references my VHD drive, a virtual hard drive where my Windwos 8 setup is residing:
    device vhd=[D:]\win8prowmc01.vhdx
    And it also specifies that the boot manager must use UEFI BIOS extension code to access my Windows boot partition:
    path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
    3. Now locate the current boot entry.
    Current boot entry contains boot settings used to boot into Windows configuration to which you are currently booted. It is referenced in the list of boot entries as a Windows Boot Loader record that has the {current} keyword inside and may
    look like:
    Windows Boot Loader
    identifier {current}
    device vhd=[D:]\win8rtm.vhdx
    path \Windows\system32\winload.efi
    description Windows 8 Enterprise RTM
    locale en-US
    inherit {bootloadersettings}

    nx OptIn
    bootmenupolicy Standard
    hypervisorlaunchtype Auto
    Because we are more than happy with current configuration and want to base our new boot configuration on these settings, we need to copy this boot entry ({current}) to a new boot entry.
    This is done by running the following command:
    C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /copy {current} /d "No Driver Signature Check"
    Parameter /d here indicates that the following sequence of characters specifies the display name for the new boot entry that we are creating. The name inside the double quotes will be displayed in the boot menu when you boot your Windows.
    In other words, if you know restart your system, you'll see the new No Driver Signature Check in the boot menu.
    When copied, the entry is automatically given a new GUID identifier, so upon running the command above, you'll see the following line returned (you'll have an other GUID since these are unique identifiers):
    The entry was successfully copied to {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}.
    4. Make sure the entry has been successfully created.
    Run the same bcdedit. (You may specify /enum or /v, or both /enum /v parameters at the prompt to get more detail about boot entries, but simple bcdedit is just enough to see the new entry):
    C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit

    The entry has been created and given a unique a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240 ID. It now has exactly same boot settings as the boot entry we used to boot into current configuration of Windows.
    5. Modify created  No Driver Signature Check entry and specify that Windows must have driver integrity checks disabled when booted using this boot entry.
    Any modifications to boot entries are made using /set parameter. To indicate that we modify a specific boot entry, we must specify the GUID for the No Driver Signature Check record, which is:
    identifier {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
    In other words, to edit (add or change) an option for the boot entry, we need to use the following command syntax:
    C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set GUID <boot_option> [<option_value>]
    First, we must specify that we don't want integrity checks be made. This is done by adding the loadoptions option and setting it to DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS value:
    C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240} loadopti
    ons DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
    The operation completed successfully.
    6. Verify that load option has been added.
    Run the bcdedit command:
    Windows Boot Loader
    identifier {current}
    device vhd=[D:]\win8rtm.vhdx
    path \Windows\system32\winload.efi

    nx OptIn
    bootmenupolicy Standard
    hypervisorlaunchtype Auto
    7. Add the option that turns on test signing mode and disables checks of driver signature.
    Adding the testsigning option and setting it to ON does the trick for us:
    C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240} TESTSIGNING ON
    8. Now we have a boot entry that enables Windows not to do integrity checks and digital signature validation.
    We check it by running bcdedit:
    Windows Boot Loader
    identifier {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
    device vhd=[D:]\win8rtm.vhdx

    nx OptIn
    bootmenupolicy Standard
    hypervisorlaunchtype Auto
    9. Type 'exit' without quotes to exit from command prompt, and restart Windows.
    Upon booting you will be present with a new boot option to start Windows in configuration that allows you to install custom non-signed drivers.
    Hope this will help anybody to create their own custom boot configurations.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

    If possible, will the system run at the *same* speed as the built in hard drive?
    ALSO: Am I correct in saying that if I replace my current hard drive with an SSD one?
    If so: that *****  
    Thanks

    OS X doesn't matter what disk you boot from, as long as it can be formatted properly in Disk Utility. You can boot from a USB stick drive if it's big enough.
    Thunderbolt would be the fastest, the drive would be the limiting factor there. You can find Thunderbolt drives like these at stores like macsales.com. But USB 3 might also feel fast enough.
    If you have boot systems installed on many drives connected to your Mac, the way you tell the Mac which one to use is to hold down the Option key at startup. This will present icons of all the connected drives you can boot from, then you just pick one and go.

  • Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

    Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

    Hello there,
    Welcome to Adobe Community. Yes it can be installed on a different drive. Though some of the files installed by it will still be installed on C: drive.
    When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
    If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.
    Thanks!

  • Can I install itunes on a network drive?

    Can I install itunes on a network drive? How?

    Your virtual drive still needs a physical drive to live on. You can move your iTunes library to any drive big enough to hold it, e.g. an additional internal drive, an external drive, a network share, it's up to you. What you can't do is put a quart into a pint pot.

  • Can I install Leopard on an external drive to run my computer?

    Since it seems my hard drive has totally bit the dust, can I install Leopard on the external drive I use for Time Machine, and run my desktop from that drive? Could I run it from an external drive totally dedicated to Leopard? I am buying a new desktop soon, but I need info off of this machine. Can I plug in my Time Machine drive to my laptop and be able to use it without losing data?

    Thanks so much.
    Youa re welcome!
    I figured I would have to use a second drive. At least when I get my new desktop I will have a drive for Time Machine for both desktop and laptop.
    If you really plan to keep the laptop around after you get your desktop, I would recommend replacing its internal hard drive. While running your laptop off an external is possible, it should be considered a stopgap measure. i wouldn't do it on a permanent basis. For one, as you'll find out, it's quite a bit slower than when using the internal drive.

  • Can I install os9 on an external drive from mavericks

    Can I install OS9 on an external drive from Mavericks? I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on both my MBP and 27" iMac. I have my original OS9 install disc. I'd like to install OS9 on an external drive so I can use some classic apps that I'd like to use.
    I tried to install directly to an external drive, but when I click on the Mac OS Install icon, I get the message "You can't open the application "%@" because it may be damaged or incomplete." The icon for Mac OS Install is the generic page with an A. Figuring that Mavericks doesn't recognize the app. Then I restarted and held down the C key - no luck.

    I understand, but was hoping I boot off an external drive in 9. Thanks for your response and I apologize for my late response.
