2nd question of installation SSD

MSI MS-7525 mother HP Compaq Persario SR5410F-Boston map

I checked my BIOS settings to see if I have the opportunity to change SATA to AHCI settings for installing a SSD.

Under Settings Advanced SATA ony a 1 option, turn on or off there is no option for: SATA in the BIOS settings that allow him to be on the RAID, AHCI or IDE.

Flashing the BIOS is updated to version 5.22 (only update available), I now have this option for one SSD instalation?

Hello @Larry1946,

I understand you are trying to install an SSD in your HP Compaq Persario SR5410F. Unfortunately, the HP Compaq Persario SR5410F don't have AHCI capabilities. You can still install the SSD on your system, only it runs in "IDE Émulation" mode, a kind of compatibility mode that replicates the functionality of the old interface ATA "Integrated Drive Electronics". While your SSD will not display its potential performance or be able to take advantage of all the latest features SATA, it will still be able to run on your system.

I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Questions new installation HD SSD for MacBook Pro

    I followed the online instructions how to install the SSD for my MacBook Pro. I then rebooted by Mac in recovery mode and formatted the drive in Mac OS extended (journaled). It was a little bit tricky message sometimes giving such as erasure of disk failures, but eventually it worked. I selected to install the OS on this HD. The image of the OS were first shown on OS X Lion, but my current OS is El Capitan. I just figured that he was installing the original operating system provided with the mac. The installation went well but then we he had finished wen timer back to 1 hour, 46 minutes. He made several times and after 6 hours, I decided to leave and start over. The second time after erasing HD and formatting again the OS that came was El Capitan for installation so I continued. This time, the installation has been completed and at the end says "OS could not be installed on my computer, reboot and try again." On the third attempt has received a similar message from the failed to install ' year error occurred during extraction of the files in the package "Essentials.pkg." " »

    Anyone has any idea why this doesn't work or suggestions please?

    About 2 months ago I reformatted my HD original as installed latest OS El Capitan as the mac has been slow. Does have a report with questions I get on doing the same thing with another HD?

    What model of MacBook Pro?

    Which SSD model?

    You have another Mac?

    Possible causes:

    -Incompatibility of your Mac with this specific SSD. Recently, some users have reported what appears to be these incompatibilities

    -You damaged the cable flex between the drive and the system board.  It is a common problem and causes intermittent problems initially and if it's even worse the Mac will see is even more disk

    -You have an another hardware problem as RAM bad or other component.

    I'd do it

    -Run Apple Hardware Test

    Using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support

    -Connect an external drive and install OSX on this disc and boot from this facility and see if you have any problems

    -If you have another Mac download a compatible OS x Installer for the Mac App Store and create a USB bootable using device

    and install OSX on the SSD.

    Thank you.

    I've got the s50 - c, but I guess it would be similar. I removed my blanket because I wanted to see where all the components are and how it would be easy to remove one of them.

    First of all, stop completely and then turn it over.
    There are two screws that need to be taken to remove the battery, which is the long bar between the laptop hinges.
    Then all you have to do is unscrew the 10 screws in the cover.
    All you have to do is leverage up on the cover, then it must release. Easier I found was where you took off the battery voltage and the lever upward on either side of the laptop.

    So yes, you got it right. The only consideration was going make sure to remove the battery, so there is not to be able to go through one of the components.

    It seems that the hard drive is in the upper right (if the battery is facing you). I did not understand exactly how to remove it but... mine has the hybrid drive of 1 TB/8 GB. So mine may be protected differently than yours.

  • Satellite Z930 - question on Win8 SSD partitions

    Just got the new Z930 satellite with the following 128 GB SSD partitions

    450 MB recovery partition
    260 MB EFI system partition *.
    9.66 Gb recovery partition
    Primary partition 8 GB *.
    100.76 GB boot, page file, crash dump, primary partition *.

    Only those that are marked with * are allowed to be deleted using the windows disk management tool.

    I'm assuming that the 8 GB partition is the recovery for a factory restore media. I intend on creating recovery media of course USB (9Gbrequired according to the creator of recovery media - 16 Gb USB recommended). Delete this partition, and then expand the main partition.

    Questions:

    1. someone knows what is the 9.66 GB partition and why it cannot be deleted? Possibly put into hibernation linked, but why 9.66 when there are only 6 GB of RAM installed (which would make the hibernation 4 GB partition)

    2. What is the EFI partition for?

    3. it is curious that if you take 4 GB (what the file hibernation for 6 GB of RAM should be) the 9.66 5,66 remaining and the score of 8 GB are basically the same size as the main 13.5 GB partition reported here for the z930 portege. Why Toshiba would squirrel away from the recovery media as well as space for hibernation? A way to recover the full 13.5 GB asmentioned in the z930 portege post?

    Thanks in advance

    > 1. Anyone know what is the 9.66 GB partition and why it cannot be deleted? Possibly put into hibernation linked, but why 9.66 when there are only 6 GB of RAM installed (which would make the hibernation 4 GB partition)

    I guess that the 9.66 GB partition called recovery partition is created for HARD drive recovery.
    You can retrieve the laptop using recovery of HARD drive and does not require recovery or recovery USB memory stick drive.
    But I wouldn't delete this partition because you will lose the ability to recover the HARD drive recovery unit

    > 2. What is the EFI partition for?
    EFi partition contains the program loader initialization for all the operating systems (in other partitions) on the HARD disk. If don t touch.

  • 750-170se CTO envy: ENVY Desktop - 750-170se CTO installation SSD

    I just bought this machine (750-170se ENVY). I bought it with a hard drive 3 TB installed and then filled the rest 2-Bay 3,5 '' with more hard drives 3 to 2. I would now like to add an SSD.

    I have an SSD that I can add, but I don't know if the business will allow me to add it. There are a ton of wasted space in the case behind where is the DVD player. It almost seems that this could work for the Assembly of the SSD, but I'm not sure.

    The other option would be to get a m2 by car because there is 1 free slot for m2. I know not where this is good. The technical page for my machine lists two locations:

    - Socket m2 1, the a key (I used Speccy and thought that it used.) It comes with the wireless card slot)

    -M2 socket 3, M key

    One of them is occupied by the wireless card. I'm not clear that one isn't. I'm also not sure what size (physical dimensions not capacities) fits into the free location.

  • 2nd Z600 CPU installation

    I have a HP Z600 workstation with 1 x E5570 cpu.

    Can I install a 2nd type processor x 5570 on the motherboard?

    What is the difference between E5570 and X 5570, and if so, which is best?

    Thank you

    Caspian Sea

    The Z600 features of two processor on the motherboard ready to go, as with the xw6400 and the xw6600.  So, it is much easier and cheaper to add a second processor for the Z600 for a Z620 which requires a 'minimotherboard' separated to add to the top of the main motherboard before you can add a second processor.

    Here is information on the naming conventions names to the processors, to the low position for E vs X:

    /T5/workstations-z-series-XW-series/Z600-CPU-upgrade/m-p/6649124/highlight/true#M18367

    I saw the HP list some X processors as an E processor when Intel and the rest of the world as a x lists... follow the convention of Intel and the surefire way to know exactly what processor you have is to take off the heat, remove the Processor heatsink, clean it and check its code sSpec laser engraved on the top of the processor stainless steel cover.  You must at least be comfortable with this process before thinking to add a second processor.  Dough thermal costs for both is useful if you have two processors.

    Note the orientation of the processor before carefully remove you it... There is a corner triangular gold on it which is oriented to a corner of the plastic of the decision threshold, and you can see that, after that you turn to the top of the stainless steel on its hinge fixing.  After you have added the thermal paste very carefully put the processor down on delicate pins with it's interface.  I hold the processors North-South, not East-West... with North being the hinge of the hold down.  In lots of light here and note that tasks molded into the plastic of the socket to align with the edge of processor corresponding to tasks... together down gently, then check alignment, then close the hold down.

    X 5570 has a single code sSpec, SLBF3, and that should be easy to find. It's a max 95W TDP processor and you can buy new Intel for about $1400.00 USD today.  Or, for about $35,00 or even a little less off eBay.  I only buy used Xeons and had a bad on about 50, and the seller has sent a replacement free of charge.

    You want to match a heatsink / fan new / used eBay for what you have, and the part number will be on the radiator you have.  I recommend to use Noctua thermal paste, and only a nice little dab is needed to get a good thin layer on top in stainless steel before replacement and reassembly.  I extend it with a finger gloved latex in a circualr motion to cover the flat top surface, where was the laser engraving.  You want pretty thin... not so thin that they are able to see through, but close to that.  You screw the radiator on sequentially across, opposing live a few laps at a time, until they just gently... the bottom but do not turn the handle downwards beyond.  It is fine to do walks back and gently bottem them again to get all too tight 4.

    Upgrade to the latest version of the BIOS first, and only a reboot may be necessary to work with the new processor.  The latest version of the BIOS gives you the last HP "microcode", a hidden part of some updates to the BIOS, and which includes the list of specific processors that HP has certified to work with your particular workstation.  For example, you might see a processor that works in your computer in one of the QuickSpecs, but if you do not list your BIOS firmware, it won't work.  I do not think that HP ever pulls a processor from the list of firmware when it moves forward with a workstation... compatible motherboards X56xx should be able to run all X55xx older processors.

    Partners, it is important to know that there are two main versions of the Z600, with the latest version capable of running with some processors than the earlier version cannot.  By combining your second processor to exactly what you already have you don't need to think about this question, but if you want faster dual processor completely new, you will need to do more research in this forum about the revisions, which will be held with the two main motherboard reviews and the fact that you can use "performance" heat sinks if you go with the processors the "." more hot.

    The last QuickSpec for the Z600 (v51) covers X56xx and processors E56xx... QuickSpec is for the new revision of the motherboard.  You can search in the HP to find their searchable list of all prior QuickSpecs and see which processors have been certified for your motherboard probably original review.  Based on this research, you can choose to move to two correspondents faster 95W X55xx Xeons, but only get those who are in the list QuickSpec from HP (and get the latest not if there are several codes sSpec) for everything what install you on.

    Searchable QuickSpecs for Z600:

    Later and probably the last, is v51.  The PDF link get you more later.  The HTML link offers you the most recent, but also a drop-down list in the upper right to use to go back in time:

    http://WWW8.HP.com/h20195/v2/GetHtml.aspx?DocName=c04110961&search=Z600

    From there, you can create a chart on all previous processors available and choose what you want.  I recommend doing a chart for only the fastest and the second more fast X55xx processors in each QuickSpec and check eBay for the price.  A step down from the fastest often gets you a large drop of cost.   If you do this work, please report it here to help others.

  • G1 350: installation SSD

    I must say that I am OUTRAGED! I just spent $ 700 on a computer laptop i7 G1 350. I try to install windows on a new mSATA SSD 8.1. After the installation, he said no. BOOT DRIVE, contact HP.

  • Installation SSD

    Hello

    My apologies if what follows has already been answered before.

    I'll be unboxing a new T440s this week, and I want to install an SSD in your laptop and install Windows on the SSD drive rather than on the HARD drive.

    I have some questions about that.

    1. is this the right guide for installing the SSD? http://download.Lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/PC/pccbbs/options/hdd_ssd_setupposter_0c37230.PDF

    Looking at this chart, it seems that I have to remove the HARD drive completely and put the SSD instead. Is it not possible to have the SSD and HARD drive in the laptop?

    2. I suspect that Windows is preinstalled on the HARD drive. Can anyone confirm this?

    If it is preinstalled, what is the best way to install Windows on the SSD instead?

    What many people do is to install a MyDigitalSSD (currently available as big as 128 MB) in the m2 slot. It's something I will do eventually as well, as I want to run Linux off of it, while keeping Windows on the main drive. I could also eventually replace the mechanical drive, maybe if and when any Samsung Pro gets sorted; I see that someone had luck running an earlier version of the firmware, so I guess there is hope. In your case, you can install the operating system in the m2 drive and keep all your data, music, etc. on the mechanical drive as you want.

    I hit a light wall and need some help running around it.  Is it possible to use a Win7-64 OEM DVD to reinstall the OS and use the key from HP?

    I managed to botch semi a Norton "Ghost" of the Toshiba HDD (always in 'original' home State) to an Agility3 OCZ 60 GB SSD.   Be smart (and lazy), instead to work through it, I thought an OS quick install and the update and updated drivers today is the way faster, cleaner.

    Not sure that the Agility3 is on the white list, anyway.  And I am not sure that the Protocol can be with the original HARD disk.  Is it a problem with the maintenance of the original 'install' on an external drive?

    Not that I really need...

    Hello:

    You can of course.

    Sometimes the image is too large for the SSD and you cannot use the recovery disks.

    You can also burn your own Windows 7 DVD from the official MS ISO download of the files at the link below.

    You burn as an ISO image, while the DVD is bootable. You can also use the MS USB flash drive installation tool and use these files and install W7 from a USB (4 GB +).  Ideal for notebooks without DVD drives.

The Maintenance and Service Guide accurate that there is a slot available for one SSD m2.  From what I can tell, it's a SATA 3 (not mSATA or PCIe) slot that will be a 2280 SSD card.  Three questions:

    1. where did the m2 slot located on the motherboard?  Adjacent to the wireless network adapter?

    2. is there a screw included on the motherboard for the SSD m2 card?

    3. any compatibility likely questions if I get the EVO of 850 Samsung 500 GB m2 (MZ-N5E500BW)?

    Hello @space_thread,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the SSD question and wanted to help!

    The m2 slot seems to be located next to the memory Modules.  There is a Phillips PM2.0x3.50 screw that secures the SSD to the system board.  Your product supports the following SSD:

    SSD (m2) drive

    256 GB - 812708-001

    128 GB, 2280 M2 - 829985-001

    128 GB (Best Buy SKUs) - 820547-001

    Therefore the 500 GB m2 will be not compatible.  I hope this helps.

    Hello

    You may have two configs using SSDS. The first is to get an SSD as Samsung 256 GB 2.5 "(j'ai eu sur mon Core i5/GT 650 M Dv6-7000) Pro and use it as a main boot drive in the hard drive Bay." The second is to have an mSATA (a bit more difficult to access as says Hüffer) SSD as boot drive (I just got one on a laptop of M6-1000) and keep the hard drive for data.

    I prefer a pure SSD, but the way with mSATA as boot drive is also OK. However, there is no option in the BIOS to start from mSATA for the boot loader must be installed on the disk 2.5 "hard and the system on the mSATA one. I fear that, in both cases, you will need to perform a new installation, because strong readers are not as large as the original hard drives and recovery disks cannot work with them.

  • Installation SSD as boot in XPS 8900 drive

    I just ordered a 8900 XPS (17, 1 to HDD, 16 GB of ram) which is set for next week (November 5). I bought a new Samsung 850 1 TB SSD which I intend to install and use for the OS and applications. The operating system and the programs will come preloaded on the 1 TB HARD drive included. Can someone offer tutorials online or instructions on the best way to accomplish the migration?  For example, I heard Samsung includes software with their cloning SSD drives, but I don't know if it's better to first install the Dell new out of the box using the HDD stock, get my created user account, etc. and then install the SSD using Samsung software to clone the HDD to the SSD. Or is it better first to install the SSD as a boot drive and loading windows, and then use a recovery disk to implement the SSDS? I don't know if Dell has a FAQ or tips on this operation, or if I should turn to the internet for help.  I would in particular, support the approach to follow once inside the box from Dell, i.e. connect the proper SATA cables, using the correct settings of the BIOS to recognize the drives, etc.

    I do not know whether it is better to first configure the Dell new out of the box using the HDD stock, get my created user account, etc., then install the SSD using Samsung software to clone the HDD to the SSD. Or is it better first to install the SSD as a boot drive and loading windows, and then use a recovery disk to implement the SSDS?

    How will charge you for the SSD Windows unless you first run the computer with the HARD drive and create recovery media? No media came with my XPS 8900.

    In any case, good idea to use recovery media to install Windows on the SSD. Samsung's Migration tool does not create Dell recovery partitions - I've found by experience. Cannot create media recovery of SSD if you set up the migration tool from Samsung. SSD works well, but no recovery media or image cannot be created. At least that's my experience.

    Most of my SSD renovations are in Mac where there is no question. I had problems re creation of recovery media with both Windows 10 where I've equipped with SSD, a Dell and HP. So good to have created first from the HARD disk recovery media

    I think to buy a HP ProBook 4530 s for Christmas and had the intentention of installing a 120 GB SSD.  I have installed SSD before office towers, but never in a laptop and that's why I wonder if I need mounting kits or brackets in order to do it properly?  Also, the HP ProBook s 4530, there in an area of the Bay of extra hard drive that I could place the SSD to use as a boot/OS drive or I better just to replace the HARD disk provided with the laptop?

    I try to buy / change the laptop the fastest possible for general use / web browsing for parents for Christmas.  I'm open to other reccomendations but this latop resembled a great value / performance

    Edit: Finally, this laptop / particular processor does support 64-bit Windows?

    Thanks for the help!

    There is that a single HARD drive Bay and all you need to do is remove the caddy and put it on the SSD.

    It supports 64-bit and you should be able to buy a model with a 64 bit OS preinstalled.

    Here is the link to the service manual if you want to read before on how to remove and replace the HARD drive. Chapter 4.
