Adding a new SSD on Satellite P70-A-107

Hello

Recently bought a Toshiba Satellite P70-107-A. It has a 1 t HARD drive and another empty location where I can put another SSD or HARD disk.

I already have orderedt an SSD (840 pro) and I think puts it in slot 1 with the system and put the 1 t HARD drive in slot 2. I created a usb media recovery with Recovery Media Creator Toshiva with the recovery of the computer image.

My question is: can I just put the SSD in slot 1 and to boot via USB and make recovery directly on the SSD? The bios will recognize the SSD?

I need to install any drivers for bios recognize the SSD?
Also heard that it was necessary to activate the AHCI, but I don't see this option in the bios.

Thank you.

If you have the original recovery media, I think that everything should be OK.
Only put the SSD and then install original recovery image. When it's all over and the operating system is installed properly, you can add second drive.

When you put the new SSDS go to parameters of the BIOS, check if the SSD is recognized correctly, the value of the BIOS default settings and continue with the installation of the OS (original recovery image).
Please post comments.

  • How to put a new SSD in Satellite M50D-A-112?

    I had a M50D-A-112, and I want to put a SSD HD, instead of the HARD disk that is in the unit.
    I have a Toshiba Q series 256 GB SSD, but I'm not able to 'open' the laptop. I removed all the screws but cannot remove the rear shield. I'm afraid to use for excessive violence do. HA someone some experience I swap hard drives in this model.

    Any help will be greatly welcome.
    Concerning

    On most laptops Toshiba, it is possible to remove the battery, RAM or HARD drive cover and do drive HARD or RAM upgrade and it can be made by the owner of the laptop. It is also described in the document s user manuals.

    Due to the special construction, this can be done with your laptop. with other words, Toshiba does not support such a change by the owner of the laptop. My advice to you is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They have manuals how this notebook must be dismantled and they can swap the HDD with new SSD. Please note: If you try to do it on your guarantee will be cancelled.

    Before you anything please create recovery media (USB) that you can use to install an operating system on new SSD.

    Bye and good luck.

  • Re: Installation of a new SSD on Satellite L775 - 10 p

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L775 - 10 p, and I thought buying an SSD and change it to the HARD drive that comes with the computer.

    I have already created recovery disks, then I'll be able to run the recovery DVD unit. But I saw in the forums that some people have problems when you restore the system to a new modern drive.

    I would ask if anyone has any experience by changing his laptop for one SSD drive, and if there are known issues when restoring the system.

    Thank you

    Hi Richard

    I have two older models of computer laptop P300 and P500, that both set to level with SSDS. On both machines, I installed ve original picture of recovery without any problem.

    After doing this I noticed extremely fast start upward and mobile works much more quickly than before.
    In my opinion after upgrade of RAM it was my best investment to increase the performance of s for laptop.

    By the way: info on SSDS, you can pick up on http://storage.toshiba.eu/cms/en/index.html
    You can of course buy SSD other manufacturer too.

  • Added the new kingston 256 GB ssd to my MBP 13 "2012

    I added a new ssd 256 GB kingstone to my MBP 13 "2012 and it worked fine for a month, today it has frozen and restarted without reason. and there is a folder with a questionmark in the middle of the screen icon. I once git to start again and now it stoped working again. Can any ideas on how I fix this?

    You can contact the manufacturer and see what are the provisions of the warranty.

    Start the recovery partition and run disk utility > first aid.

    If there is no problem, remove the SSD and install it in a closed Chamber.  Plug it into the MBP via USB and see if it will start the MBP.  If so, the internal SATA may have to be replaced.

    Ciao.

  • Satellite P70 - A - recovery/transfer on different drive system

    Hello
    I buy a new drive SSD and Satellite P70 - A - 10 L. Operating system (Win8) is located on 1 TB of HARD drive. What should you do to transfer the system to a new disk? or how to retrieve it on SSD HARD drive instead?

    Apo86

    All about recovery image and recovery you can read in the document s user manuals. You will find information you need to create a recovery media. Need DVD or USB.
    You can't just copy recovery image to another SSD or HARD disk and later to begin installation of recovery here.

    You must create media recovery bootable utility preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.

  • Satellite P70-A01D: change the drive letters after the 2nd SSD upgrade

    I think it's a generic UEFI / Win 8.1 question (not according to model).

    However, FWIW, I have a Satellite P70-A01D (bought locally here in Australia).

    It is a victory of 16 GB 17.3 inch Gen4 i7 4700MQ Intel HM86 8.0 64-bit RAM.
    http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/products/computers/satellite/P70/psplpa-01d002/specifications

    I updated the OS to Win 8.1

    The P70 is supplied with a drive Bay HARD vacuum #2 - I bought a 250 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD that I want to use as the main system disk / boot Win 8.1.

    I installed this SSD in bays #2 and from there I had no problem using the wizard of Samsun cloning software provided with the SSD (VCC 4.0) to clone my 1 TB on the SSD system.

    There are a lot of instructions from Samsun and around the web on how to clone and "substitute" of a HDD with a SSD - however there are much less when it comes to 'Add' the SSD - in the #2 Bay - while always keeping the original HDD fully functional as an additional drive.

    After execution of the cloning software, I tried just go into the settings of the UEFI on reboot and change the order of the boot drive placing the SSDS over HARD drive.

    It worked but there are obviously questions still as I had not renamed readers SSD worked as system but he was editing as D: and HARD drive was still C: and most of the system/application paths were always scheduled to access C:!

    It led to the crash and restart cycles of the Bureau (? & or explorer.exe?) and two consistent error messages:
    -"SkyDrive engine Sync host has stopped working".
    -"Host for the synchronization setting process has stopped working".

    I saw in the Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Computer Management-Online Storage-online-online right click on each drive disk management online online that I can access > however
    (a) I'm not sure if the solution I need is this simple;
    (b) nervous about change of letter on a disk while running the system; and
    (C) uncertain steps in order of evolution [IE. C: (non - sys) becomes M; D: (sys) becomes C:...

    At the moment via UEFI I'm back to working with the system on the HARD disk rather than on the SSD seems stable and without compromise of my screwing around!

    Apologies for the long post by train to make sure to include all relevant information. I think that my final goal is double win bootable 8.1 / Ubuntu 12.04 of the SSDS probably with Ubuntu on a 50 GB partition leaving 200 GB (enough?). I want to keep a slab of SSD space available for photo and video editing: +/-100 GB!

    I wondered simply assign new letters to readers, however the notes at the bottom of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter state:

    You cannot change a drive letter if the drive is a system partition or a boot partition.

    Suggestions please?

    Hello

    I think you could try to change the letter to readers as suggested in the Microsoft article.
    Where this is not possible, try to use 3rd party such as GParted software.
    http://gparted.org/LiveUSB.php

    You could try changing the drive letters might start to the top of the unit using the live USB version.
    But it might be possible that your system would not initialize correctly after this change.

    So you should not forget to mark the partition as bootable.

    Your comments would be appreciated

  • My Satellite L850-18 t will support the new SSD?

    Hello

    I am seriously thinking to buy the new SSD which is SATA III. Currently, I have Toshiba Satellite L850-18 t, European model. And I think that (although that is quite difficult to get information) that the current HARD disk is SATA I.

    My question is, will the new SSD work correctly, it will take all the benefits (write and read speed) if I install it on the laptop? And if not, what SATA SSD do you recommend?

    I really need to empty it.

    Best regards
    Luka

    Yes, your Toshiba laptop support SSD. I have older machines, and there is no problem with SSDS.
    This is not complicated, you think it is.
    Check prices and buy one that suits.

    I can recommend brands like Toshiba, Samsung or Kingston. More info on SSD Toshiba you can find on http://storage.toshiba.eu/cms/en/index.html

    A friend of mine uses Samsung 840 Series SSD of base and it works perfectly. The new SSD, you can install original recovery image and start using your machine with factory again.

  • How to change the Satellite L670D-103 using new SSD 80 GB HARD drive?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L670D-103 with a 320 GB HARD drive running at 5400 RPM which is too slow for me.

    So I plan to change this factory by a new SSD HDD to increase the performance of the overall system :)

    But as the SSD are expensive, I have only a 80 GB SSD.

    I built the recovery on a USB media and I want to use it to restore my system to the new SSD (I previously did the space needed to ensure that all data can be stored on my new SSD 80 GB space; p)

    Retrieving SSD partitioning new procedure is done without error, but when copying image to restore data to freshly created the partition, one not enough space error stop the process!

    It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb).

    So, how can I restore mysystem on my new SSD?

    Thank you
    Stéphane.

    > It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb)

    To my knowledge, you have different recovery options:

    (* 1) * recovery of factory default software

    (a) recovery to out of box state
    (b) recovery without changing the HARD drive partitions
    (c) recovery of a custom size partition

    (* 2) * "erase the HARD drive.

    I think that if you choose factory default software recovery of-> recovery to out of box state then the recovery would create exactly the same size of partition on the new SSD which were available on the 320 GB HARD drive.
    I think this might be the reason why you have received this message.

    Perhaps you need to choose the 3rd option Recovery on a custom size partition

    What do you think?

  • Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 - new SSD is not recognized in the BIOS settings

    Hello

    I just bought a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 - B - 2-8 and I also bought Samsung SSD 850 evo 250 GB.
    When I try to install the SSD drive rather my drive HARD, the BIOS show 'none' in the category of SSD/HDD (BIOS not recognize the SSD).

    Please help me.
    My bios version is: 2.00
    someone told me that I have to downgrade my version of BIOS to 1.2V and then the BIOS recognize the SSD drive, so perhaps someone here can send me a download link for version 1.2 of my model L50 - B - 2-8.
    Thank you

    someone told me that I have to downgrade my version of BIOS to 1.2V

    And who? I mean you are sure that this person was right?
    From my point of view of the few there is no reason why beginning version BIOS should recognize the SSD and the latest version of the BIOS is not...

    But BIOS v1.2 for series Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 PSKTQE there is no v2.0 (at this time) is the latest version and previous versions of BIOS are not available for this series.

    Also, I guess you must slimply check different SSD drive... it might be possible that the other SSD drive would be recognized correctly.

    By the way: I am owner of Evo 850 SSD drive and as I remember, I had to update the firmware of the SSD drive to use it correctly in my other laptop (not the Toshiba device)

    Thank you
    Mario

    Unfortunately, your link does not work, but as far as I know, this kind of info is not available to the specifications of the laptop. In my opinion, it is not important. It is important that you can upgrade this laptop with very fast SSD. I ve done on my old Satellite P500 and it runs very fast. I m really happy now.

  • HP Envery Phoenix 810: New PC, added my own SSD, how to move Windows?

    Hello

    Just got this new PC, but it did not come with an SSD, so I added my own. But I can't understand how to get Windows installs it. I want it to become my main boot drive.

    Delivery to zero/system restore does not give me an option to specify a drive.

    Since this is brand new, there is no problem with wiping the disks completely and starting over.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Greetings,

    810 HP PC usually have a 256 GB or 512 GB SSD drive option available for purchase.

    Create HP Recovery DVD discs or USB key to aid Recovery Manager from HP.

    Exchange in the new SSD on SATA0 and run recovery using DVD or USB recovery drive to the new drive.

    This will create a new installation, so save the good things before doing this.

    You can also clone the drive using third-party cloning software, but if you are interested in going to win 10 it could cause upgrade problems. Some third-party cloning software changes the disk partition SSID that cause the Win 10 upgrade fails.

    Some SSD drives come with the cloning software. Install the software, connect the SSD to your PC via the included USB adapter and run the cloning software to migrate OS to SSD. Then, install the SSD on SATA0 and start Windows on your newly installed SSD.

    Again, if the SSID is changed using the cloning software SSD manufacturer, you can have a problem upgrading to win 10.

    So, if you want to win 10 then do it (upgrade) before installing the SSD.

  • Satellite P70-A-L1M: adapter CA / CC / grounding question

    Hello.

    I have the same problem with my Toshiba Satellite P70-A-L1M described [you: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=67785]

    There power adapter 2 poles with 3 pins, everything is fine already cheked with other adapter from another Toshiba laptop (with the same power and voltage).

    So, I wrote a letter to support the local customer Toshiba (in Russia, in fact), but they refused to change adapter (well, because it's the Russia ;)).

    In addition, they refused to help in any way, or just to answer, is this normal or not (in my opinion, new cell phone buzzing for $ 1500 price IS NOT normal).

    So, nobody knows, maybe there are other options to resolve this matter through any authority higher than market local support Toshiba?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    (> in my opinion, new cell phone buzzing for a $ 1500 Prize IS NOT normal).

    It is completely normal and nothing unusual for each laptop with metal case that is plugged in power without grounding.

    Here you can find a detailed article on the CNET page on similar small electric shocks using Apple Mac.
    http://reviews.CNET.com/8301-13727_7...AC-shocked-me/

    In General, this is not a technical failure of the AC adapter.
    This 'shock' is the result of the flow of this alternative leakage current on the body of the user, and this causes a slight tingling.

    But as mentioned, a 3 PIN adapter would be a workaround for this problem to the ground.
    But this isn't a case of warranty since this isn't a hardware malfunction and the only option is to buy this adapter 3 AC alveoli.
