Is there a user manual that shows how to install a second hard drive?

I took a look at all of the manuals at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?product=6888071&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en.
Quick Setup Guide – Windows 8
Regulatory, Safety and Environmental Notices User Guide
Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide
Operating Specifications
None of them talk about adding a second hard drive.
I want to add my old computer’s hard drive as a second drive so I can copy my old data over to the new computer.
Or, is there a way to copy data between hard drives without installing the old drive?
Thanks, Bill

Add a Second Hard Drive to a Pavilion 500-314 Desktop

I have just purchased a Pavilion 500-314 desktop and desire to add a second SATA hard drive from the computer it is replacing. When I open the case I find four SATA connections but nowhere to physically mount the second hard drive. The drive bay is large and basically empty with the included hard drive mounted to the drive bay cage. There are no slots for additional drives. When I called HP I was told this chassis supports only one drive even though it has four SATA connectors on the motherboard. Is there an adapter that can be purchased to create additional slots or am I out of luck with additional internal drives?

Hi,
Few weeks back, one user decided to go to a hardware store to buy brackets himself and problem solved. You may want to follow his method.

HP Pavilion 500-314: big problems adding external video card

Looking for some help.
I recently purchased an HP Pavilion 500-314. Specs are as follows:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c04293928&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
The unit includes integrated Radeon R7 graphics, and comes with a 300w power supply
I purchased this unit in large part because it explicitly states that "Supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards". I run a quad-monitor setup for my work, and have traditionally done this using an ATI Firepro 2450 card.
I have now tried three different external graphics cards, and can get none of them to work:
First attempt was with a VisionTec Radeon HD 5570 (item #900345). This card supports quad monitor setup, and requires a minimum 250w power supply. When I installed the card, the HP Pavilion repeatedly beeped a series of 4 or 5 (can't remember which) beeps, but refused to send an image to any video output (either onboard or the new card).
Next attempt was with an EVGA GeForce GT 610. This is a dual monitor setup, and requires a minimum 300w power supply. Got the same exact response as with the VisionTec (i.e. series of beeps...computer would not fire any monitors up).
So with both of these (new) cards, I basically gave up immediately as I couldn't even get into BIOS (b/c no monitors would work) to see what was going on. My understanding is that the series of 4-5 beeps usually means that there is a graphics card issue, or that the card that has been added doesn't have sufficient power. This is frustrating, as the HP Pavilion 500-314 supposedly has a 300w power supply, which is at least equal to the min required for each of these cards.
At this point, I pulled the ATI Firepro 2450 out of my old machine and tried it. This card at least didn't cause the series of 4-5 beeps. Windows booted. However, once I log in, Windows tries to install the new (FirePro card) repeatedly, so the screen just flashes and flashes and flashes. I then went into BIOS. The BIOS indicates that the system is recognizing the card, and that the onboard video has been disabled. However, there is still a signal coming out of the onboard video output (DVI), so it is not in fact actually disabled. My sense is that Windows is trying to control two separate video cards (onboard + external), which is what is causing the problems. I can disable the FirePro video card from w/in Windows (using Safe Mode), and leave the card installed, and things work fine. However, as soon as I try and enable the card I get the endless cycle of flashing monitors again.
I have spent a couple of long sessions with HP tech support and they have been useless. They claim that this isn't an HP issue since the onboard video works fine. I find this response extremely frustrating. I think this is an HP issue, since the BIOS doesn't seem to be properly disabling the onboard video. Not to mention that the PC can't seem to interface properly with Windows 8 compatible PCI-E cards that explicitly claim to require less power than this unit has.
I am generally pretty computer savvy, but have reached my wits end on this one. I would appreciate any help anybody could provide. I have tried all kinds of combinations of variables (i.e. enabling onboard video, setting external card to primary, etc.) through BIOS, as well as combinations from w/in Windows disabling onboard video, but nothing seems to work.
VisionTek 900345 Radeon HD 5570 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16

lordmonk3y,
Both the ATI Firepro 2450 (which never worked properly, but the system did recognize and was able to boot with when installed) and the GeForce GT 610 claim to draw right around 30w peak (closer to 20w average). Both are considered to be relatively low-draw graphics cards, and neither is a standout performer. My work requires a lot of available screen space, but not a lot of graphics horsepower. I don't do any gaming. For heavier hitting graphics cards you might want to consider a bigger power supply. Based on most of what I looked at, 300w is the bare minimum for a lot of these cards, and many of them require a larger power supply.
For what it's worth, I looked at the specs listed on the side of the PS in the 500-314, and it actually claims peak power of 300w, but only 250w at higher operating temperatures. It's kind of a catch-22, because if you're running a more powerful card it's sure to generate more heat inside the tower, thereby lowering the available power from the PS.
I did notice that there's one other nice thing about using an external card. The onboard Radeon R7 grabbed 1GB of the stated 8GB system memory for itself, thereby leaving only 7GB free for system use. Now that I'm using an external card, I get the whole 8GB available for system use.

Upgrading graphics card for Pavilion 500-314 Desktop PC

I am looking to upgrade the graphics card in my HP Pavilion 500-314 Desktop PC. I was looking around and saw some forums that said it would be very difficult to do so with this PC and I have found a few that said it is absolutly possible. Unforunatly none of those forum posts were from this site except one that did not give much explanation, so I figured I would just ask.
The graphics card that comes with this PC is decent enough to run most current games, just not at the level I would prefer. I am not looking for the most cutting edge ultra mega super gamer graphics card, just something this PC can handle that would be an upgrade with 2GB dedicated vram.
Thank you in advance for any help you guys can give me!
PS This will be my first upgrade I have ever done on a PC myself outside of the ram on this same PC, so please try to keep that in mind with any explanation/answer .

Your system has UEFI BIOS, so you'll need to understand Secure Boot. Then read this to change settings. For gaming, I would go here, and do the "Can I Run It" quiz. Would recommend a Corsair 600W PSU.

Hi,
One of the below MSI NVIDIA GTX 750 models should work.
MSI NVIDIA GTX N750 TI and the MSI GTX N750 TF The "TI" model might be slightly better at gaming.
If you can't find the exact models are NewEgg then try Tiger Direct, Amazon or google.

Second hard drive in a Pavilion 500-300t

I just bought a Pavilion 500-300t PC through the EPP program. I want to install a second SATA hard drive in it, but I can't figure out how or where to mount the second drive. As far as I can tell, there isn't a bay or rack for mounting an additional drive. The primary drive is secured the PC frame. Do I need to buy a separate rack and if so, which one?
Thanks in advance. Retired HP employee

Hi,
It's a special model probably only designed for EPP users. But for many Pavilion 500-300 series, no room to add the second HDD and the specs only says very simple:
Form factor: Microtower
Internal drive bays: One occupied
External drive bays: One occupied
Source: http://m.hp.com/uk/en/products/desktops/product-detail.do?oid=6879020
And not many manuals around:

SD Card only Autoplay not working - HP Pavilion 500 F6K54EA#ABU Win 8.1 64bit

Computer is a HP Pavilion 500 F6K54EA#ABU Win 8.1 64bit
When plugging any SD card into the reader on the front, autoplay doesn't appear, although the card is readable when opened manually with Windows Explorer etc.
The same cards work fine when using a USB adapter into the sockets beside the card reader.

Hi CookComputing, Welcome to the forum,
I would suggest you to follow the below steps and enable autoplay and check
1: plug a sd card in the front port
2: Open autoplay by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type autoplay, and then click AutoPlay.
3: To turn autoplay on, select the Use AutoPlay for all media and devices check box.
4: Scroll to the end of the list and verify if you SD card is check properly too.
5: ClickSave.

HP PAVILION 500-141ea

can anyone please tell me how to uninstall the graphics in a hp pavilion 500-141ea ..have tried everything i can think of ...im not that pc literate so thats probably not much ..but i can follow instructions well ...and just cant find anything on the subject ..:-( have a hd 6950 to replace it with .

Here are the original factory specs for your HP Pavilion 500-141ea Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this shipped from the factory with Windows 8 64-bit and an AMD Radeon HD 8470 installed.
Before doing any thing, please DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support". Without doing this, your computer will not start with your Radeon HD 6950 graphics card installed. Please see Computer Does not Start After Installing a Video Card (Windows 8) for more information on this subject. You should be able to enter the BIOS by turning on your computer and tapping "F10" or by tapping "ESC" and then "F10".
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Suddenly no sound coming from HP Pavilion 500-339 Desktop

I've had this computer less than a month without any issues. From a couple days ago there is no sound coming from any source (various speakers, headphone jack directly into computer).
I have checked everything, i.e., checked all the external cables, used the Windows diagnostics and checked all sound devices, volume settings, checked for mute etc. No issues have been detected with the audio hardware and drivers.
I've also done a system restore, removed recent Windows updates (within the week), uninstalled and reinstalled the IDT high-def audio drivers and still nothing. Every time I do a diagnostic it says the audio is working properly yet no sound comes out for anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

Any Way to Save a pdf User Manual?

I seem to recall that in previous versions of FCS apps, including Motion, you had the Help option to open (usually in Preview) a pdf User Manual. From there, via the Print dialog, you could do a "Save as PDF", into the folder of your choice.
I often like to have a searchable User Manual which I can access without having to launch the app itself. So I created a special folder into which I would save separate pdf copies of user manuals which had been incorporated into the apps themselves. But in Motion 4, all I'm seeing is an HTML Help Document, and trying to "Save as PDF" via the Print window only seems to let me save the one currently visible page, nothing more.
So -- is there still any way to create a separate, searchable User Manual for Motion (and for the other FCS3 apps), or have even pdf help documents gone the way of those two-ton paper manuals of yesteryear?
Thanks,
John Bertram

Yeah, the PDF functionality is lost within the FCS3 apps themselves. The Pro Apps team wanted to be able to continually update the Help files, so they were made (exclusively) web-based.
That resulted in a bit of an outcry. Thankfully, the team listened, we have to now visit the Help pages for each app (here's the one for Motion) and open/download from the View as PDF link.

How do I add a second dvd burner (blue ray) to a HP Pavilion 500-023w?

I have a fairly new Pioneer dvd blue ray burner that I would like to install in my HP Pavilion 500-023w. It is currently residing in my old XP machine, also a HP Pavilion. I guess that there is a different front panel that will acept a disk drive ?? The plastic front plate just below the installed drive is very large and will have to be completely removed to install any thing. I know this pc only has a 300 watt power supply, but I will only be using one drive at a time anyway. (Worked well in my old Pavilion...also a 300 watt supply!)
Any one know how to get a drive into this machine? The drive is a Pioneer BDR-S07XLT. It has a SATA interface. I will probably need updated drivers for the drive as it says that it works in Windows 7, XP and Vista.

Thuis video is of some use:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXk5sPvSdD8
You only have one 5.25 inch optical drive bay so you are going to have to remove the existing drive and replace it with the one you want.
Specs
The video shows how to add a pci-e card but does show opening up the unit. It looks like you need to remove the power supply, unbolt the optical drive and slide it back and out of the case. Replace it with the Blu-Ray drive. You will not need drivers but you will need software to play Blu-Ray movies. You can actually modify VLC media Player for free to play Blu-Rays. Just google a bit and you will find out how.
Good luck.
