Qosmio X775: Can I install games on HDD instead of SSD?

Hey everyone,
I just got a new Qosmio X775, it has a 64gb ssd and a 1TB hdd.
Just wondering how does the sdd work? It doesn't have enough space to install games ect...
it has windows 7 OS installed on it.
Do i just install all my games into the hdd and use the sdd for a few things?
Can someone please explain to me how they are used?.
thanks .

I agree with Akuma
The SSD drive is much faster than the HDD and therefore the Windows OS is installed on the SSD which helps to boot the notebook faster.
The HDD is recognized in My Computer and can be used for other stuff like data, games, 3rd party software
I recommend creating an additional folder on the HDD. For example Game folder, Movie folder, Music folder, etc
During game installation you should point to the game folder of HDD other multimedia (jpeg, avi, etc) files dont need any installation and can be copied and pasted into these single folders.

  • 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. ;)

  • Satellite X200-245 can i install a second HDD

    on satellite X200-245 : can i install a second hard drive ?
    is it possible ?
    There is a place for it but no sata connection on the mother board where can i find this connector

    No you cannot install the second HDD because there is no HDD connector which would allows to connect the HDD to the mobo.
    And No, its not possible to upgrade the mobo with such connector.
    The X200 has the two HDD bays because some X200 support 2 HDDs and some dont support it.
    Your X200 doesnt support 2 HDD

  • Satellite A30 - Can I install a bigger HDD?

    I thought I had been careful with bits of kit and boards. but after rebuilding my A30 (having had the DC socket replaced), it comes up with the following messages:
    *SMART Failure predicted on Hard Disk 0: TOSHIBA MK4018GAS (PM)*
    *WARNING: Immediately back-up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure may be imminent.*
    *Press F1 to continue*
    I have tried refitting board connector to HDD socket, which seems OK.
    So am beginning to think I have killed this disk somehow. If so, can I install a bigger disk, say 80 or even 160 GB, and should I look for magic word MK4018GAS, or is it SATA or IDE, I am looking for.
    Thanks. Robin

    Hi!
    If you remove the old HDD you can see ifs a IDE or SATA HDD but the Satellite A30 is equipped with a IDE HDD.
    You can use a bigger HDD. This should not be a problem but as far as I know this notebook has a 28bit LBA limitation. That means the disk size limit is 128GB and so you can only use an HDD up to 120GB.
    If you want to know more about this read the article on Wikipedia or here: http://www.48bitlba.com
    So you can buy a 120GB HDD or a 80GB HDD as you suggested. I have good experience with Hitachi and Seagate HDDs.
    Anyway, I think its a good idea to exchange the HDD. SMART error message appears only if there is something wrong with the HDD so backup your data as fast as possible. ;)
    Bye

  • Can't install games in applications

    I've been trying to install games from the apple website, just dumb, simple ones like Diner Dash, and I can get it to download, but once I try to install it I get an error message that says "installation finished with errors"
    When I look at the log, it says:
    Error = Creating directory at "/Applications/Cooking Dash.app" failed.
    Error installing "helper" to "/Applications/Cooking Dash.app/Contents/MacOS".
    Error = Could not create directory /Applications/Cooking Dash.app".
    There's nothing that pops up asking for my password so I can add something to the applications folder, and I've tried installing the program both while the installer was on the desktop and after putting it in the applications folder.
    I need some games to play on this thing so if anyone could help me, that'd be great

    I am having a similar issue. I have been trying to download, install and run some mac games and they will download and act like they have installed but when I click the icons nothing will run. And this is EVERY time with EVERY game. Any suggestions??? Please...? I have NO games and want to have some to play with. Thanks.

  • Can I install a 2nd HDD in my Satellite P200-10C?

    Hi
    I have a Satellite P200-10C which I want to upgrade with a 2nd HDD. I called a Toshiba representative who told me my model doesn't support an other HDD. But then again, why does it have a place in the back of the laptop for a 2nd one?
    Could some one tell me if it can be used to accommodate a 2nd HDD.
    Thanks in advance
    Gerardo

    @Jayjay
    I finally decided to open the compartment for the 2nd HDD of my Satellite P200-10C. I discovered there the modem (I think) and enough space to accommodate a HDD but alas! No connector for the HDD. I think that settled the matter. I can not have a 2nd HDD. Unless of course someone in the future find a way to attach a connector.
    Thanks for your answer, Jajay

  • Can I install Windows (7) on my iMac SSD (late 2013) ?

    I'm about to take delivery of my new iMac (late 2013) with the following specs :
    27-inch Core i7 3.5 GHz with 16gb RAM
    256 GB flash storage (pure SSD, NOT Fusion)
    I've googled and found that some say that Windows cannot be installed on the Fusion Drive due to the Fusion Drive containing an SSD portion.
    I would like to install Windows 7 - is this possible to install on the 256 GB flash (SSD) drive ? I'm not buying a Fusion Drive with this iMac, just a pure 256 GB SSD/flash drive. Or must I install Windows on another separate, non-SSD drive ?
    Sorry if the quesiton is too novice or dumb. Thanks.

    Unless you do high end gaming or very intense
    3D graphics work, it will be much easier to simply
    install a product like VMWare Fusion
    (http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/) or
    Parallels Desktop Mac
    (http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/)
    and create a virtual machine.  Read up on these sites
    to understand how a virtual machine works.
    The advantage of this approach, the "PC" simply runs
    as another window in OSX.  No rebooting required.
    If you really need the full performance of the iMac's
    graphics for your Windows use, you can dual boot
    by creating a new partition on the drive via Bootcamp
    and install windows there.  (http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/).
    Be for warned, only Win7 and Win8 are supported by this
    method.

  • My Elements and Premier DVDs are corrupted physically. How can I install them via online instead?

    I bought Photoshop Elements and Premeire Elements 10 sometime ago and forgotten about it. The box was sealed but the DVDs had streaks for white stuff and thus the drive is unaable to read. How can I install it via online? Please lead me to the link that I can key in the serial numbers as I am unable to find in this website. Thank you. As they have never been installed, the serial number is not in the my Adobe ID account yet. Hence I wish I can freshly install them via online. Thank you.

  • Satellite P205-S6337 - Can I install another second HDD?

    Totally need another HDD for music/other files.
    Really don't want to buy a dock such as.. http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/drives/a7ea/.
    Is it possible that I can install a second SATA HD on this notebook?
    I'm not too good with working with notebooks really.
    Anyone have any instructions on how i would do this?
    And how to install another GB of ram?
    I have both on my old notebook.

    Hi
    Did you check your user manual?
    Usually the user manual provides already such infos.
    Im not quite sure if an second HDD could be possible. Check bottom of the unit.
    Some series are equipped with a second HDD bay. You could try to remove the plastic cover which secures such HDD bay and could check if there are some HDD connectors which would make the second HD upgrade possible.
    It seems that this notebook was also equipped with 2GB RAM So it could be possible to upgrade the RAM up to 4GB. But in my opinion its really not necessary to have 4GB RAM inside if you are using the Windows 32bit OS.
    The point is that your 32bit OS can use max 3.2GB RAM due to the 32bit limitation.
    So if you want to upgrade the RAM then I would recommend taking 1x 1GB and 1x 2GB RAM module.

  • Can't install game...

    Hey people...
    I have a problem installing the retro game Diablo II on my MacBook with OSX 10.4.10!?
    I get the information that my system don't support the program?? What to do then? I really want to play the game, so i hope that someone got a solution for me...
    Greetings
    Sixmax

    Incorrect. Diablo II was released in 2000. Diablo will work fine with OS X and intel computers. I just finished playing it on my macbook. Diablo I, however, will not work, sadly. Why it is not working for you...I don't know. If you bought the battle chest, make sure you are not installing Diablo I by mistake since they give you a copy of that in the Diablo II battle chest.

  • 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 I install windows 8.1 from windows ssd hard drive with bootcamp?

    I recently bought a 2009 macbook pro wiht Maverick 10.9.  I had a PC running W8.1 on a crucial ssd.  The ssd is working fine, it was the motherboard that was broken.  I was wondering if I could image a partition on the macbook with the image software crucial provided to install W8.
    Any input can help
    Thanks

    Instead of trying to copy the Windows copy you have on the SSD to the internal hard drive, what I would do is to buy a USB to SATA hard drive and connect the SSD to the Mac through the USB port, and then start up your Mac from it if you need to use Windows 8.1. To do it, hold the Option (Alt) key while your Mac is starting up.
    Apple does not support Windows 8 on the 2009 MacBook Pro, so you may have some problems with the trackpad and function keys
