15 - af004ns: update hard drive SSD 15-af004ns

Hello

How can I change my hard drive with an SSD? Is it possible?

Thank you.

Yes, possible. Here is the Service Manual:

Your manual

See page 40 for instructions on removing the hard drive. A 2.5 inch wide SATA SSD will be installed instead of the hard drive. The hardest part is migration/relocation of software, but if the old drive still works, you can make a recovery HP USB or Windows itself has a capacity of backup and restore.

Technically, the removal of the hard drive is not allowed for the consumer but HP assured us if you do without damaging the computer laptop, warranty won't be not taken away.

  • Acer recovery disks do not install Windows 7 on a new hard drive SSD

    Hi all!

    I have Ace Aspire 5742 G laptop and I have problems to install the Windows 7 operating system on my new hard drive SSD (I bought the SSD because the original hard drive is defect and do all the time... blue screens)

    For the factory restore, I use the restore disks. I burned the discs a few years back when the laptop has insisted me to do (using eRecovery or something, in total 3 dvds).

    Testing of computer to install the operating system with the DVD (asked to insert a dvd and then press a key). The real problem is that the installer will just in loops, restart and eventuallyfreezing in the end...

    Restart--> Acer--> Windows logo takes over... files-> from windows-> reboot-> etc.

    Which continued for more than an hour (on the first dvd!) and all of a sudden that it froze right on screen "starting windows..." I had to restart and stars on again once.

    I can still use my old formatted HARD drive, should I do the new set of recovery disks or use a USB?

    Thanks for the answers in advance!

    So I thought (with the help of Google) that the problem was that I had installed the new DDR3 memory game. When I changed them back to the original ones (2x2gb) everything worked smoothly.

  • Update hard drive to SSD

    Hello

    I have a 2012 end mac mini, hearts, i7, 1 TB. Recently, I got a SMART error, and now it has deteriorated further. I have a time machine backup. I have another HARD drive with the operating system. So if the internal HARD drive failed completely, I'm sure.

    I want to upgrade to a 1 TB SSD. I have contacted apple and their prices are extremely high. I price $ 250 - $400 for the three following models: are they compatible?

    (1) transcend: Transcend 1 TB MLC SATA III 6 Gb/s 2.5 "Solid State Drive 370

    (2) SanDisk Extreme PRO 960 GB SATA 6.0 GB/s 7 mm height 2.5 - Inch Solid State (SSD) with 10 year warranty drive

    (3) critical BX200 960 GB SATA 2.5 inch internal Solid State Drive

    If they are compatible, please let me know on the reputation of those marks. Seagate is also quite good in my experience, I can look to their SSD equivalent also. Thanks a ton.

    All are compatible and should work correctly. I would opt for the SanDisk or Crucial. I failed to transcend everything simply because I know little about the company.

    Any form factor of 2.5 in SATA SSD will work and I recommend a Samsung Evo 850.

  • 15 - n259se: hard drive SSD update

    Hello

    I recently bought this laptop (15-n259se) and have been impressed in all of his performances. I plan to upgrade its HDD to the SSD. I've read a lot about this on the forum here but had a few questions before I have eventually go ahead.

    I checked the manual of the product with the product below and could only found that its uses a SATA port.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04438537

    Thus, the Samsung EVO 850 (500 GB) will work on this system?

    As the hard drive for this laptop is not easily accessible by the user, another thing I read here that you can replace the DVDRom with a caddy and then install SSD while retaining the original hard drive. I tried looking for a shopping cart but did not find any. Can someone let me know if there's any cart that is compatible with this system and also if there is anything that I should be informed during the implementation.

    Thank you

    See page 61 of the manual to see how the hard drive is in the laptop. You can use any interface SATA 2.5 inches in width and 7 or 9.5 mm thiick drive hard or on SSD. The Samsung 850, in my opinion, is the best on the market, then Yes, I would receommend you get.

    I don't have such good news for the caddy optical drive for a few reasons. First of all, the optical drive SATA port uses a slower SATA (SATA I) protocol because it is all that is needed by an optical drive. If you put an SSD in there you will get all the benefits quickly. In addition to this, you would be able to use the SSD for storage since if you put a hard drive or SSD in the optical drive bay that is not bootable. If you do not need the DVD player, you must put the original hard drive in the optical Bay and then put the SSD in the main location on page 61. Yes, it is not an easy thing to do and should probably be done by an experienced laptop technician. However, the manual shows all the steps, and if you are very careful, it can be done by a competent first-timer. You are questioning the warranty that I must warn you.

    It is an example of optics to the hard drive adapter that you can use:

  • Cloning hard drive SSD - STARTUP FILES ARE GONE

    So I recently bought an SSD to put in my computer with my current hard drive.  I used this tutorial: http://lifehacker.com/5837543/how-to-migrate-to-a-solid-state-drive-without-reinstalling-windows to clone my hard drive of my ssd.  I was planning on just moving to the ssd (including my os) and then using my drive hard just store files on.  When I followed these steps, he created a "system reserved" disk (D :) on my computer.  I went into the bios and choose my SSD to boot from, but he said that he could not.  Thanks to some research I discovered that the system reserved player will often take startup files.  I was wondering if there is any way I could move the boot system files reserved my ssd drive.  I formatted my original hard drive yet so I think that the boot files should always be out there as well (?).  I have either a windows installation disc.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Permutation of my HARD drive SSD, need a file ISO in Windows 8

    Hi all

    First of all, sorry for the long story, I want to clarify.
    I use a laptop ASUS ROG G750, came with preinstalled Windows 8. I've updated to windows 8.1 blue as it was released.
    I am facing the load always full HARD drive problems constantly, tried several solutions but not worked so far (the parameters of maintenance, defragmentation...). Some have said probably the cause comes from the windows installation, the establishment did not leave 350MB partition C:... I have no idea, and all other stations have no training. This should be the last of them, as other people who buy the same laptop got a 30% rate to have this problem.
    I want to move to a SSD, I got a Plextor M5S 128 G.  Now the new problem arises... I don't know how to start.
    1. I would like to install Windows 8.1 directly, but I think that my laptop have windows 8, and it wouldn't work like that.
    2. I don't have a Windows 8 or 8.1 version OEM to install, I tried an ISO from the site of microsoft retailer, but it requires a key retailer...
    So it would be great and awesome if someone can tell me anywhere who can make me an official ISO file, Windows 8 legitimate. There are a lot of windows 8 / 8.1 preactivated out there to get it, but above all they are Pro or enterprise... version I don't want to use a cracked version of Windows, as I don't have a product key, why would I?
    -----------------
    UPDATE: Im download an OEM of Windows 8 version from an unreliable source, it mentions that if my laptop has Slic 3.0, it would automatically add the product key from the Bios...
    If it works?
    -----------------
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.

    That's what you do:

    If you're running Windows 8:

    Press Windows + W

    Type: create the recovery disk

    Press enter

    Insert a USB stick 8 GB or more space

    Click next and follow the instructions on the screen

    If you are running Windows 8.1:

    Press Windows + S

    Type: create the recovery disk

    Press enter

    Insert a USB stick 8 GB or more space

    Click next and follow the instructions on the screen

    Connect the recovery drive and the start of it.

    When booting from the recovery of Windows 8 disk (USB drive or optical disk); the Windows logo is displayed on a black screen for a few moments; in the background, the computer actually starts in the environment of Windows Recovery (called simply, Windows RE).
    Windows RE is based on Windows PE (Windows Preinstallation Environment)

    How Windows RE works, once a prompt asking the user to choose a keyboard layout; for example, we could choose available United States. However, if the layout you want do not appear; then, select,
    See more keyboards.
    (There is a total of 16 pages of keyboard layouts, arranged in alphabetical order).

    This next screen allows three important options:


     
    Click the Troubleshootingoption: it's the refresh option. Reset the computer; or, use the advanced disk recovery tools.
     

    Click the Reset the PCoption: this option will reset the PC and at the same time, remove all the files.
    Windows RE will find and save all data, settings, and applications; It will then install a fresh copy of Windows and restore all data, applications and settings.
    When the PC is restarted. Connect with the existing username and password and it will find all the installed data.

    However, desktop applications that have been installed will not be backed up or restored. the reasoning is that it is possible that a recently installed desktop application might be the cause of instability.
    Windows RE will create a list of applications that were not backed up or restored, so that a decision can be taken, if it need to reinstall them.
  • ExpressCache broken after update hard drive Protection

    I have a brand new E530 with 16 GB SSD. Product Code: 3259A 29.

    I installed the ExpressCache with the C:\SWTOOLS\APPS\ExpressCache installation program. Everything went well and the thing ran faster, for a day.

    Now I have updated the Protection of hard drive, such as recommended by the ThinkVantage System Update to Version 1.77.0.5.

    Since then, I get an error message during startup: "2102: error detection on HDD2 (SATA Mini).» Press ESC to continue. "After ESC the machine starts.

    But ExpressCache doesn't work anymore. On the command line the command eccmd.exe - info says "* ERROR * ECCmd required peripheral is not available: 2

    I guess, the update of the ruined the ExpressCache HD-protection - hide.

    How can I fix ExxpressCache? All eccmd.exe options, it returns the error message above.

    Thanks for your help!

    awehring,

    You see the error message:

    «2102: error detection on HDD2 (SATA Mini).» Press ESC to continue. »

    is from the BIOS.  You say that the mSATA SSD (or the port that it attached) is bad.

    I recommend you call the support phone number in your country to apply for warranty repair.

    The update of the software APS could not cause this, given that the APS software runs only under Windows.  You see the error message is BIOS.  I think it is purely a coincidence that HW failure is apparently happened as you updated the software of the APS.

    I have free external USB and FireWire HDs and a copy of Super Duper. How can I go about it?

    Use a utility like SuperDupercloning or double clone. Clone your original drive on another external drive firewire is bootable.

    Is this hard drive Intel SSD X 25-M 80 GB will work ok as a main system in the Qosmio G50-10 t.

    Hello

    The Qosmio G50 supports SATA 2.5 HDD.
    The Intel SSD X 25 - M 80 GB is a 2.5 SSD with the SATA interface.

    end 2009 27 "imac

    OS X 10.11.3

    3.06 GHz intel Core 2 Duo

    4 GB memory

    According to the genius bar, the Seagate 1 TB hard drive on my end 2009 27 "iMac is a failure.  They told me that they do not have the parts to replace and suggest I do myself or take it to Best Buy.  Best Buy said that they are unable to do so I can't to try it myself.  I read and watched directions to ifixit and several other sites.  I am convinced that I have the skills to do the replacement, but I'm less confident about the purchase of equipment:

    (1) Ifixit say I should use a Seagate drive to replace the Seagate drive I have.  Engineering made no mention of this.

    (2) engineering suggested I buy a Crucial BX200 480 GB SATA 6 GB/s 7 mm (with 9.5 mm adapter) 2.5 "disk flash internal SSD (part #CT7414188).  The essential site says I need part CTSSDCONVT a 2.5 "to 3.5" SATA SSD/HHD converter for 2006-2012 MacPro.  They suggest that it will work in my iMac as well.  Articles and discussions have referenced problems with noise from the fan and order and mention with fixes software and manual control of the speed of the fans.  When I mentioned questions fan of genius, he said not to worry about this, and the Crucial site makes no mention of him either.  The SSD costs $129,99 and converter $ 21,50 for a total of $151,49.

    (3) OWC offers aDIY Bundle which includes a 480 Electra of mercury GB 3 G SSD, newer technology AdaptaDrive to allow installation of the 2.5 "SSD and a digital probe online that eliminates the noise of the fan and maintains control of the correct system fan through management for the iMac system controller.  The package costs $199,75.

    Bundle OWC seems like a good deal but it seems to me that SSD Crucial works to 6 GB/s and the Electra of mercury to 3 Gbps.  If I go through the replacement, it seems more sensible to get the 6 GB/s.

    I wonder if I can mix and match and use the Crucial SSD with the Adaptadrive of more recent technology and digital sensor OWC.

    Any suggestions from anyone who has done this replacement would be appreciated.

    2009 iMacs have SATA 2 - meant 3Gbps rate.  It does not matter if you use 2 SATA and SATA 3 - you get only speed SATA 2.

    Second - the adapter for 2.5 to 3 5 - don't hang a lot of money on this,-l'ebay has many choices.

    My personal experience, support 'intel' works best - since it is the length, so the seat fits much better.

    Yes, you can mix and match - choose what might suit you best.

    For me, I had Apple OEM SSD (Samsung doing this - 256 GB, SATA 3) with intel on iMac 2011 (SATA 3 speed), with support from OWC thermal line sensor.

    Samsung 830 (256 GB and SATA 3) on iMac 2010 (SATA 2 speed), with support from Intel, with OWC thermal line sensor.

    Note: the probe heat 2010 and 2011 are different.

    Good luck.

  • Update hard drive in the MacBook Pro (early 2015)

    What type of SSD will work in a MacBook Pro 13 inch screen of early 2015? I was told by someone that Apple no longer use the SATA drives and they now have their own exclusive hard drives and hard drive connectors. Can someone clarify this for me? I want to upgrade a 256 GB to 500 GB drive.

    New mac systems use style card SSD instead of 2.5 in block style (search for mSATA and M2 style SSD).  Apple uses a protocol of interface owner so you can not buy any card SSD on shelf.

    Another use main contributor a low profile SD card like this http://www.microcenter.com/product/441001/128GB_SDHC_Flash_Memory_Module that can stay connected to the SD slot card all the time and not poke out.  Also external fencing to swap nu-disks for a virtually unlimited storage.

  • HP G71-340US recovery of the system using a new smaller hard drive (SSD)

    I replaced the hard drive on an HP G71-340US notebook with a Solid State Drive (240 GB).  The original drive (who did not) was a 320 GB drive.

    I tried to perform the Reovery of system using the recovery disks that I created when I bought the laptop.  However, the only option enabled when you are trying to restore is 'Factory Reset'.  When I choose this option, the recovery process may not continue his run as "... the hard drive of this computer is smaller than the original shipped hard disk.

    Is there a way I can go beyond that?  Any suggestions/help would be most appreciated!

    Thank you!

    HP System normal recoveries do not usually work on smaller hard disks. You may need to use a spinner legacy 320 GB hard drive and more capacity to perform the Factory image restore and then make a migration of data to the SSD. It is unfortunate that you chose to change for one SSD after the original spinner hard drive has failed.

    With SSDS, in particular the best method is to use a upgrade kit or data migration kit.

    A data migration kit consists of software cloning and a usb to SATA cable. The USB to SATA cable connect the SSD to the usb port of the laptop for the cloning process that is part of the migration of the data.

    The software provided by manufacturers such as Samsung and Corsair SSD are usually able to transfer all of the operating system and on a smaller hard disk partitions.
