Can Acer Aspire AX1200-B1601A support a second internal hard drive?

I plan to upgrade to W7 Pro on the church's desktop AX1200-B1601A and would like to do that on a second hard drive (as the XP drive doesn't have the space even after compressing, etc.) Is there a second hard drive slot and cabling (comm and power) that supports this?

The best way to be sure is to open the case and look.
(this will show you if the drive must be PATA or SATA as well)
But, according to Acer, there is room.
It also may be more effective to simply replace the primary drive with a larger capacity drive.

Testimonial: "I will open the case the next time I am there with tools. I'd prefer to add in a drive so that the original would be still available with all the apps - just if needed for reference."

SOURCE: Adding extra internal hard drive.

make sure you pc is turned off before you start. To add additional internal hard drive you will need to get SATA hard drive. when you open up your pc there will be a slot to put it in. on the new hard drive there will a display with shows you how to make that hard drive a slave. move the little thing to the right place and plug it in. when you restart it should read it .

SOURCE: My Hard Drive is rattling,

Hi rip195454

Sounds like your hard drive is close to failure.
If I was you I would transfer all the important files,pictures,etc from the hard drive to a portable hard drive as quickley as possible.
Time to replace the hard drive in your PC, besure you have the restore discs that came with the machine, or that you made when the computer was new as you will need them when you put a new hard drive in your desktop.

How do I find the Acer Aspire ASE 380 UD421A schematic?

Computers are wired like a car. Your "wiring harness" comes with plug ins for upgrades, like a second hard drive. In all likely hood if the computer is running correctly, these plugins are for upgrading purposes.

Computer wont boot

That sounds like you have a dead hard disk drive if the hard disk drive is dead then you will need to have it replaced there is a way to check if it is dead or not, you will need to go into the bios for most it's usually the hi lighted tab when the bios comes if its dead the hard drive slot should say empty or none if it's not dead it will show the hard drive info

I have an ACER Aspire AX1200 the drive door will not open. There is not a CD in the drive. I have tried to "eject" to open the door and all I hear is it trying to open. This trouble is not...

There is usually a little hole in the front of a CD/DVD player that you can put the end of a paper clip in and push on to open the door to see if a disk is stopping it from opening. Sometimes just opening it that way will fix the problem.

My ethernet driver is uninstalled how do i fix this problem i have a AX1200-B1601A

Go to Acer's support site: Click here

Choose your model in the dialog boxes. ("Notebook" ==> "Aspire" ==> "Aspire 1200")

Choose your Windows version in the "Operating System" drop-down box. Once done, download the Accton LAN driver in the scroll-box below.

Install the driver and restart your computer.

That should do it,
