Thank you
One last thing though. To install the hard drive, will inserting it and connecting a bracket like this one, http://www.ebay.com/itm/A000240320-Toshiba-Satellite-P70-HDD-Brackets-/161458370320?pt=LH_DefaultDom... be all that's required?

    Hi,
    The right part number for the hard drive kit is 681976-001. The support website for the laptop is on HP Sweden so run the part number on google.co.uk (or your Swedish). I have found the cheapest on us amazon for $38 or £42.

  • Second Hard drive for HP Pavilion dv-7 3157 ca

    I am looking at putting a second hard drive into my HP Pavilion dv-7 3157 ca, I know the first hard drive has a maximum size of 500 GB, but as for the second drive can it be 1 TB or is the total of both hard drive 1TB ie: 2x500 GB?
    A second question, looking for a link where I can buy the caddy, cable and hard drive, as this model is not common and the info out there is very confusing.
    Thanks for any help in this matter.
    Cheers

  • Can anyone recommend a second hard drive for my PowerPC G5

    Hi,
    Sorry if this question has been asked before but I need the answer in a hurry.
    I need to fit a second hard drive into my PowerPC G5 - and I have never done this before. I phoned a company to buy a drive and they said that there can be compatibility problems with certian drives and Macs. A friend at work also confirmed this and pointed me to the site www.xlr8yourmac.com which has a database of drives and their associated problems.
    Unfortunately I don't have time to digest all of the info. I am letting a friend use my Mac for a project that they are working on and they need the space urgently. They are working to a strict deadline.
    So basically what I would like to know is if anyone can recommend a drive that I can fit without it causing any problems. I need a high quality, fast and very quiet drive for audio and video production. The drive should be 250GB, 7200RPM, 16MB cache. The Mac support pages say it must be a serial ATA drive but I have no idea if you can use ATAII or ATA300 (or any other number???).
    Also - as I have never done this before - I have heard 'jumpers' mentioned - will I need to set the jumpers to a particular configuration?
    Thanks in advance, Byron.

  • How do I use my second hard drive for storage, not back up?

    Hi, I bought a second hard drive to store files (not back-up for my system), but when I moved some files over to drive two and then deleted the same files from drive one, they also deleted from the 2nd drive! Fortunately I could reverse the process and there was no loss, but what now? How do I disconnect the two so I can use the second as storage? 
    Thanks and happy Easter for those of you who celebrate it. Kate (Porter)

    Whilst I normally drag files around, a copy and paste still should have created a replica on the destination drive.
    That the second is mounted internally makes my describing it as an external drive inaccurate, but wouldn't cause the problem.
    So that still leaves the scant possibility that the original source is itself an alias.
    Was the copy and paste done in a Finder window or was it done via some other application's window?
    I look forward to an update on this unusual event.

  • ADD A SECOND HARD DRIVE FOR WINDOWS

    Hi Folks
    I am a relatively new Mac user. My MacPro is my first Mac. So far, after 23 years on a PC, I am absolutely in heaven. I think my question may be very basic, but I like to ask before I jump.
    I have purchased a second hard drive and it is my intention to install it and run Windows on it. I want to keep on using some of the Windows applications that I have. I purchased the HD from Mac Mall and yesterday I pyhsically located it in it place in the case. I did not run any kind of installation routine, I just plugged it in. I did get a message, but I told the computer to ignore the drive for now.
    I also have Parallels. I am not sure if I even need that if I have a seperate drive. So, now you are getting an idea of my question. What do I do next?
    Can someone walk me through the installation of that second drive, coach me on whether or not I even need Parallels, and get me to the point where I can install Windows on the new drive?
    I sure would appreciate it?

    Download Windows 7 64-bit free from MS.
    Pull your OS X drive.
    Boot from the DVD you burned from the ISO of Windows 7 RC.
    Install as normal.
    If you later want to run Windows side by side inside OS X then you would need Parallels or something.
    Windows will find drivers for most things and treat it as you did on PC.
    For OS X, I recommend this book:

  • Adding a second hard drive for storage

    So you've added another hard drive to your system... its detected correctly in BIOS, and when you boot into Windows its listed in Device Manager, but it is not visible in My Computer and you can't save anything to it because Windows doesn't see it?
    Well, if its not partioned and formatted in a format that Windows recognises, then of course it won't!
    Its very easy to do, and as this gets asked so many times, here's a brief step by step guide. (The screenshots are shown from Windows 7, but will appear identical in Windows Vista, and very similar in Windows XP with some different wording)
    First of all, right-click Computer in your Start Menu or desktop (My Computer in Windows XP), and in the pop-out menu, select Manage.
    This will open up the Computer Management console. In the left-hand pane, under Storage, click on Disk Management (Drive Management in Windows XP). This will then bring up a list of all storage drives connected to your computer, and in the lower half you can visibly see what partitions are on each drive.
    Your new drive will be shown here, but it will show as 'Unallocated' (RAW in Windows XP).
    Right-click anywhere in the Unallocated space, and in the pop-out menu, select New Volume ('Create partition' in Windows XP). This will open a wizard to help you create and format a partition.
    First of all, you can select how big your partition is, if you want to make more than one. By default, it will select the size of the whole drive.
    Next you can assign a drive letter. Remember, if you don't assign a drive letter, then the partition will be hidden from Windows.
    Next, is where you format your partition. Best leave it at the default setting of NTFS. You can also name your new partition here if you like. A quick format usually suffices, so leave that box ticked.
    Click Finish in the next screen, and your partition will be created and formatted.
    And your new drive is ready to be used in Windows!

    'afternoon.
    i know you mentioned not needing an SSD, but if you don't use WWAN, have you at all considered an mSATA SSD installed under the keyboard? you could run the OS/swap/temp/apps from it, then use the platter drive for data/documents and keep your bay flexible for addtional HDDs or the optical drive.
    just a thought...

  • I need a a second hard drive for a  Macpro

    Hello i need a little advise here
    I need 250GB or more internal hard drive, i will use it for video editing FCP
    i will install myself the hard drive it appears to be easy.
    can anyone help me, Which is the next step after i install the internal hard drive

    Just curious though... why did you buy a drive if you weren't sure it would work in your computer first? Don't tell me because you got a good deal on it... It's not a good deal if you can't use it.
    Thanks for the reply. You are correct about the deal but:
    I wanted a big hard drive to match the 500 G Hitachi that came with my MAC PRO in order to use it as the drive for LEOPARD's Time Machine when it comes out. On the day of the sale I got to the store 1 hour after it opened and they had only one left. I knew I could get advice on this forum as to if it would work or if I needed to return it.
    I also could use the WD 500 g SATA in my HP Windows PC that I am giving to my wife once I get used to the MAC.

  • Re: How to use the second hard drive in Satellite A300?

    I have been given a second hand Satellite A300 that was being thrown out due to a faulty DVD.
    I fixed the DVD and have a perfect working system.
    On opening the case I discovered it has 2 x 250GB hard drives. I checked CMOS and the 2 drives show. Yet, Vista only shows the one drive.
    Excuse my ignorance but how do I access the second drive?

    I have Satellite A300 with two hard drives and each HDD has other operating system. Both HDDs are recognized properly.
    I dont know what is wrong there but both HDDs should be recognized automatically.
    Try to set BIOS to default settings and check it again.
    Try to start bootable Microsoft installation disc and check if both HDDs are shown in setup.
    I just hope there is no some hardware problem.

  • How to install second hard drive in Satellite A200-1BW?

    I see my new Satellite A200-1BW has two hard drive bays,on looking into the second bay I cannot see how a second drive can be fitted as the plug in socket appears to be missing.
    What parts do i need to fit to fit a second drive as they are held in stock by my local computer outlet and are quite cheap,can anybody advise me on part numbers etc of the bits I need.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Hi,
    there are many different models of your machine on the market and some of them have a second drive, some of them not. If you bought a model with one drive then you will only be able to install ONE drive because your model was only intended to have one drive.
    And even if you solder a connector to it or attach it in any other way then you dont know if the bios supports the second drive.
    My suggestion on it: obtain a USB-HDD and store your data on that drive. Would be making more sense then spending a lot of time on investigation to find out that your mainboard is not able to handle a second drive.
    Cheers

  • Replacement Hard Drive for Satellite 4090 XCDT

    I have a Satellite 4090 XCDT which needs a new hard drive, I am trying to find out if the laptop/BIOS can support a 20 GB hard drive (Toshiba Mk-2018GAS), can anyone help me?
    Also upto what size will it support?

    Hi Steve
    I can not give you precise information about 20GB HDD but I know that 8GB HDD will be recognized by BIOS and it will work properly. A friend of mine has 4100XCDT and it works with 20GB HDD without any problem.
    My opinion is that you should pick up some information by service partner or Google a little bit around and I am sure that you can find HDD vendor that can give you right information. I know that it is possible to built in HDD`s with high capacity to older machines but how it exactly works I can not explain you.

  • Recovering hard drive for Satellite M35X-S161

    My hard drive totally died on me earlier this week in the process of trying to back it up to an external drive. None of my data was saved.
    I have installed a new hard drive, but HAVE TO have the data from my old one. I've put the old drive in an external enclosure and it 'seems' to work, but it only shoews 2 folders a a few files with gibberish for names. It also says my 60 gig drive is only 10 megs in size.
    I'm really in trouble here, can anyone help?

    If you google 'data recovery services' you'll find several companies that can recover data from failed hard drives.  The process is expensive - a friend of mine was charged about $1000 - and there aren't any guarantees that all of your data will be recovered.
    Good luck.

  • Can i install a second hard drive for back up/storage

    i have 1td already and could exchange my mac mini for the server editions but im told its much more complicated
    i just want to have enough drive space, is it possible to get another hard drive and have it in the mac mini for back up / storage
    or would i simply be best to get a USB hub with an external drive  ?

    Yes, you can add a 2nd drive. You can review this iFixit.com page for instructions. You would need to purchase their data doubler kit which would include all the parts you need to add it. All you need to remember is to follow their instructions and TAKE YOUR TIME.   There are several little screws and plugs that you have to be careful with. Otherwise, it's a breeze to take the Mini apart and add a 2nd drive.
    All the Mac Mini Server has extra is an additional 1TB hard drive and the OS X Server app. If you want OS X Server, you can purchase it on the App Store for $19.99 US.
