How to connect hard drive from computer to laptop

As an example, would be considered a standard SATA drive, as IDE drives are already out of the market of modern technology, although at the moment, there are universal means to connect the drives of both types. Connect hard disk to laptop via USB-container.

First of all, you need to open the container and to invest your hard disk (do not forget about different sizes of containers and media — 2.5 and 3.5). Then made the connection interface of the container of Winchester, and after that with a laptop. The presence of a new USB 3.0 interface will allow to significantly increase the speed of file transfer between devices.

Depending on the type of container make appropriate power connection. Now you need to turn on the notebook or netbook. After loading the operating system the hard drive should automatically be detected and appear in Windows Explorer. If not, install the special driver diskthat came with the container. In some cases you want to connect to the Internet, for example, when the current driver is out of date and has released his new version.

Sometimes you may encounter such problem: after system boot disk does not appear in Windows Explorer, but its icon is in the applet "device Manager". The solution to this problem would be to change the priorities of the connected drivebecause the current drive (in a laptop) and external have one option "Primary drive".

Restart the notebook. While reading information about devices, press the Delete key, F2 or other that activates the boot menu of the BIOS SETUP. Go to Boot, select the new carrier and check the box next to Secondary Master.

Press F10 to save the settings and reboot the computer. After the appearance of the welcome screen run the "My computer" and wait until the new media. Most likely, the system after installing it will ask for another reboot. Left to do this and to use additional free disk space.
