2720 XPS does not start after replacing mSATA SSD 32 GB

Hello

I replaced the mSATA SSD 32 GB on my 2720 XPS with a Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD.

When I go into the BIOS, I see the new drive mSATA.

But when I try to start, I get the error "no boot device."

I have not changed the settings in my BIOS after permutation of the SSD but I noticed that my first boot device is now internal hard drive instead of Windows boot device, or something in front.

Any ideas? I tried not to put the 32 GB SSD back in again to see if it boots always.

Thanks in advance.

So, I called Microsoft and basically got told that, because I did a clean install on a separate disk that Windows was originally installed, they are unable to help me. I'll have to do a fresh install of Windows 8.1 on my SSD and then upgrade to Windows 10 from there.

He mentions this particular fact nowhere on their website that provides the media tool!

And the fact that the Dell rep, I spoke of na not know that particular nugget and asked me to do a clean install on the new disk did not help at all.

Now I have to wait for Dell to send me a CD of Windows 8 so that I can install on my SSD and update from there.

Beware if you are already on Windows 10 and planning to install it on a new drive!

  • Satellite Pro S300-120 does not start after replacing the CMOS battery

    Hello

    My friends laptop - a S300-120 - was having a few problems.

    I replaced some parts about this before, including a screen crack with no problems.

    However, he began to refuse to start saying "out of battery CMOS, Press F1 to enter setup". Of course you would have to do this, set the date and time, except & restart only to get the same message. We have replaced the CMOS battery with a with the same serial number and now the laptop will not boot.

    It does one of two things.

    It is one) seems to turn, turn to the top disk & CD player, cooling fan is 100%, then flashes the POWER ON led once, twice by orange, and then green to 1/2 second intervals, with no response from the keyboard or LCD.

    Or (b) turns on, turntable, does not turn up to cooling fan, POWER ON witness remains stable, no response from the keyboard or LCD.

    I re-assembled the laptop several times & can not find all the missing fittings or obvious signs of damage.

    The only thing I can think is that the motherboard has been damaged - somehow find replacements is delicate.

    Any ideas?

    Usually, if the voltage in abnormal feeding malfunctions when IN DC will be blinking orange.

    In my opinion, it looks like a problem with the motherboard :(
    Eventually, you will need to replace the mobo ;(

  • Does not start after replacing the cmos battery

    HP m8430f, Vista Home Premium.  Worked very well but sometimes had to restart using "pulsed" F10 (5 seconds) then wait 5 seconds, and then F5, then ENTER, F10, then ENTER.

    I suspected the CMOS battery, so I removed it.  He tested "fair."  Got a new CR2032.  He attached the test counter, so it's okay  "I WAITED ALL NIGHT BEFORE REPLACING.  But the computer does not restart.  I went through the steps above and still no luck.  What to do next?  Thank you, Joe

    FIXED!  I removed the battery (I had to remove the sound card to get in the first place to the battery).  I waved it around a little when you reinstall.  Now it's working.  What I've done, I have no idea, but it works now.  Sorry for the post, but I was desperate.  Joe

  • Windows10 car does not start after cloning of SSD (mid-2010)

    Hi all.

    In my mid-2010 mac pro, I have a windows disc 10 (upgraded to 8.1 windows) in the Bay 3. I want to update to SSDS. So, I bought one, I cloned the drive with winclone app pro (v.5.4) but the new drive is not bootable. When I choose to boot from it, it stops at a white (command line - like) screen BACK with a flashing dash.

    Any suggestions?

    The problem was to limitations of El Capitan. The operating system does not other applications to write to the MBR (...) od disks. If the new disk is unable to be started.

    I installed Yosemity in another disc and clone the HDD to the ssd from there.

    There was another solution to disable "csrutil" of Terminal recovery, but another problem I had, doesn't have me let go to recovery mode (frequent readers of fusion).

    The laptop won't start. Right after that the first portable screens it just stops at a black screen where it should show the logo "windows". I put the original hard drive in and the machine starts very well and I put the M4 in my office and it begins to start.

  • Computer does not start after the screen of the bios, Compaq Presario SR1023WM

    Ok. Trying to fix a friend's computer and seem to have met a strange barrier.

    Problem: The computer does not start after the bios screen.

    Details: When you turn on the computer, the compaq logo with intel inside is and has the < F1 Setup > and < F10 System Recovery > options listed as well.  And that's it as far as the computer becomes.  After that the computer just locked up, no work of buttons on the keyboard lights keyboard ect ect.  I tried the puree on the F1 key, as soon as I turn on the computer and I can handle so he can say * entering setup * but it freezes again after this point.  I already tried to eliminate the possible sources of the problem, removed all expansion cards, HDD and Dvd Rom module only disconnected, only memory (256 MB ddr 2700), power, vga and keyboard connected.  Ive also used the jumper on the motherboard to clear the cmos, hoping that would solve the problem without success.  I tried using a different memory stick and different memory as well...  Tried to use both a ps2 and a usb keyboard... Ive even tried pulling the rider for the protection of the bios password (even if she did not have a password on it, just try everything I can think of).

    The installed bios version is 3.1, and that's all that I know on the computer at this point, except that the website tells me to him.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=411354 & LC = on & CC = US & DLC = in & Submit.y = 5 & Submit.x = 3 & lang = to & CC = US <-link to the Web page for the model #.

    I'm basically at a loss on this one, so if someone feels scroll line-by-line of their brains on this one, I'd be very happy.

    I have a pretty strong understanding of computer repair, so feel free to give me something to try.

    If you need more information out of me, let me know as well.

    Try to clear the CMOS again but this time remove CMOS battery and hold the power button on a few seconds. Replace the battery, then try to start back to the top.

    At the back of the pc is the condition of the PSU led green or flashing?

  • Does not start after the reload of the operating system

    OK, this is my story of boredom.  I have a Lenovo T61 Type 6463-5BU, S/N L3-xxxxx.  The hard drive died a few weeks ago, and since then, I have received a replacement drive under warranty, that is the exact same drive type.  We had a backup image of the old system under Norton Ghost and managed to get the image to the new disk once it has been installed.  To do this, we used a utility called OS
    'BartPC '.

    Since then, I did pretty much everything I can think of to get the system to boot, including playing with the BIOS settings, setting the drive to 'boot' and 'active' with the help of a number of public services, including the good old "diskpart" and many others.  The reader will just not start.  A few times I could read the disc using Bart in command prompt mode, but I never managed to boot from it.

    The laptop has a finger print reader, but I was told several times that this has nothing to do with the problem.  So... before I cut off the finger of a person and drag in the player... What am I doing wrong here?

    For later use, take a look at this document from Lenovo on the use of Ghost; Partition does not start after being restored with Norton Ghost - NetVista / ThinkCentre / ThinkPad...

    Here's the key:

    We're working on two sockets and one does not at all.

    You have a bad memory module. It happens very rarely, but it's not impossible to get a new stick of bad memory. Get the replaced bad and I think you'll be fine.

Itunes and Ipodserver module will run by Manager jobs, but Itunes does not open. iTunes starts in SafeMode as explained in the link below (hold SHIFT and control on your keyboard while you open iTunes).

    Fix unexpectedly closes or problems of launch in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

    Solution, according to this link, is:

    If the problem does not occur in Mode safe, remove any third party plug-ins iTunes: solving problems with third party plug-ins - Support Apple iTunes but the link has been archived, and I can't find any plug-ins installed iTunes. Any other ideas?

  • Re: Smoker L30-10 X PSL33E does not start after upgrading RAM

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop.
    It has 1024 MB of RAM (2 x 512), but it wasn't enough, so I decided to update to 2048 MB (2 x 1024).

    I bought two modules and my computer does not start after changing them.
    It was only a screen black (same BIOS has not started). I tried another combination of installation of memory modules RAM.
    2 x 1024 - did not work
    1 x 1024 - did not work
    1 x 1024 + 1 x 512 - working but not properly.

    BIOS find that I only 896 MB (1024-128 for the video card)
    I said OK. Let's see what will show windows. He was also 896 MB.
    I launched CPU - Z and it shows that the total size of memory is 1536 MB (medium detect both modules).
    I found that CPU - Z detect 1 module 1 024 MB and 512 MB secondary, but the BIOS detect only 1024 MB 1536. How is that possible?

    I have fought, is that my BIOS is old, then I update the toshiba Web site form most recent version, but the problem persists.
    Please someboy help me and tell what to do.

    PS. the Modules are new and work correctly.
    They have been tested.

    Hello

    Have you used two identical RAM modules?

    What kind of modules did you use?

    In my view, that the problem is related to the new, inserted modules.
    There must be something wrong with the modules or modules are not completely compatible if the laptop can not boot after installation.

    According to a few pages of the book handles the DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200-PIN SODIMM modules.

    Did you use these modules?

    Hello

    The A200 series supports different chipsets;
    Intel 945 PM
    Intel 945GM
    Intel 943GML

    As far as I know your laptop supports the * 943GML * Intel chipset and the chipset supports 2 GB RAM max.
    Take a look at your laptop s user manual * Page 18.*

    Summer: 4 GB of RAM are not possible, and therefore your laptop does not start.
