Hi all,
Looking for some support. I have an older HP laptop (dv7-1285dx) running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and would like to add another hard drive in the extra bay. I purchased the Hitachi Travelstar thinking I would simply be able to install into the extra drive bay boot up and go from there using it as an extra drive for storage etc. The HP does not see the drive when installed. Is there a bios setting that I need to change on the HP? I also tried installing the Hitachi drive in my external case that connects via dual USB and got the same thing, HP does not see the drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
