acer45 Posted September 6, 2017 Share #1 Posted September 6, 2017 Hello everyone. I have HP terminal T5730 with AMD processor, 1GB RAM and 640 GB 2,5 cal disk connected by IDE44->Sata converter. I succesfully installed DSM 4.3, but I want to install something newer. Unfortunately when I try to install for example 5.0 bootloader don't see my disk. Is there anyone who has this terminal with working newer version and tell what I should do to run at least 5.0? Is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbv3000 Posted September 6, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 6, 2017 you could try a pci/sata controller in the pci slot, silicon image (sil3xx2/3xx4) models work ok with 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer45 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted September 7, 2017 Ok, but how connect power to 2.5 cal disk? Data cable to adapter, but what with power cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbv3000 Posted September 9, 2017 Share #4 Posted September 9, 2017 I'm confused If you already have a working 640gb sata hdd with power and data, then you just swap the data lead to the add-on controller, leave the power lead untouched. have a look at this site, they have modded a T57xx for sata - it might give you a few ideas http://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/hp/t5740/mods.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
