• I would add an SSD in the second Bay of a HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition.

  I would add an SSD in the second Bay of a HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition. It's a SATA II or III?

  It is SATA3. An OCZ Vertex3 would be a nice addition to your new laptop computer.

  Here's a nice video detailing the installation.

• Adding an SSD for the DV7T-7200

  I have an OCZ Vertex 4 Add to my new DV7T and I have a few questions.

  (1) the SSD has the software to clone the OS and I have a newmodeus cable to add the SSD.

  I would like to know if I pass the SSD to the main location so that it starts the system?

  Hello

  Yes, you can try the BIOS. Sorry I don't know it will work or not because I have not tested. Please note: you need a SATA cables (and maybe a shopping cart) to use the second span on your machine DV7T:

• Adding SSD to the second Bay drive in DV7-1285dx - advice please

  So I recently bought a used DV7-1285dx and is considering the addition of a solid state drive to run the operating system. The current drive is 250 GB 5 400 rpm. Can I simply buy a 2.5 "SATA SSD to any size - I'm looking to 50 GB - and plop down inside and install Windows 7 on that? I've searched the Net and have not seen a solution that does this is clear.

  BTW, I think that this HP forum is great. I got a good and fast response to a question I asked yesterday. It's better than the customer support (do not hit the HP - I mean in general)!

  Thanks, rich

  I think that an SSD of any size should work. I recommend at least 64GB for Windows and manufacturers such as Intel, Corsair, Crucial or Patriot. I've seen a few posts that SSD works on Dv7 computers so don't worry portable...

• 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

• Envy dv7t-7200: SSD upgrade in 2nd slot on HP Envy dv7t-7200. Cannot find or run the Bios

  So I added recently internal a second drive in my HP Envy dv7t-7200 because she had a second slot. The first was a 1 TB HARD drive and what I added is a compatible 500 GB SSD from Crucial. At startup, the SSD was not recognized as I can't find anywhere in my computer to use. Also, I tried to go into the BIOS to see if the second part of the motherboard to the drive 2nd spot has been activated but now the computer starts too fast and I can't enter the BIOS. Given that nothing is installed on disk 2, I have no idea why the computer starts much faster. Would it be due a QuickLaunch for the BIOS update can I have recently installed? If so, how to uninstall that?

  I also wanted to just insisted on my laptop as possible and that's why I decided to upgrade, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  A new empty ssd drive will not be displayed in my computer (PC), until the disk is initialized and formatted. Right-click on computer and choose manage... disk management and see if there is a new blank disc. If so create a new volume in it (partition) then format then assign a drive letter.

  You want to have the OS on the SSD and have it in the main location as only a car in this slot is bootable. You lose the speed of the SSD in the second location for pure storage. As hanging Secretariat up to a plow.

• Boot from the 2nd drive HARD modular bay adapter (satellite P20)

  Hello

  I have a SP20-102 and I replaced the stock model with a 120 GB Seagate HDD and moved the original disc in a Module Bay HDD adapter.

  Is it possible to configure things so I can choose which HARD drive to boot from at the start, i.e. it is by default on the internal HARD drive but I can't choose to boot from the HARD drive in the modular Bay?

  I tried pressing F12 to boot device selection screen, but am unable to choose the 2nd HARD drive.

  Any ideas?

  R.

  Hello Robin

  As far as I know that it is not possible to boot from the external HARD drive. It is not supported.

  Good bye

• SSD in the expansion of predator easyswap Bay

  Is it possible to put an SSD in a 2.5 "to 3.5" SSD & Sata HDD Converter and use it in expansion of easyswap Bay of a predator G3620 running windows 8?

  And if so, what settings should I change?

  I got a private message to this essentially telling me that the answer is no you can use HARD Drive Converter in the expansion Bay. Which is a shame as I wanted to use the hard drive of my laptop.

• Try adding an SSD, but now I don't see the hard drive?

  I am trying to add a 256 GB SSD on the 1 TB HDD in my Aspire V3 - 772 G.  I put the SSD in the Bay where the hard drive used to be and swapped the hard drive to the extra Bay.  I have cloned the SSD hard drive and can be started either by when you press F12 to select boot Preferences.  However, when I boot with SSD (as I wish I could), I can see is no longer my hard drive.  When I boot by the 1 TB hard drive, both are visible.

  I tried to load the hard drive in an external enclosure and I am able to see him as he is connected with USB3. When loading in the drive Bay hard ssecondary, Manager of devices does not see my 1 TB hard drive.  Please let me know if you have ideas for what to try next.

  What windows OS is installed and has a value of UEFI BIOS, or legacy?

  Have you tried swapping the slot of SSD and HDD, just to understand if it is a BIOS limitation?

• Adding a third drive for HP pavilion e9280t by using the expansion Bay

  I would like to add a third sata drive in my Hp Pavilion e9280t, model # AW020AV #ABA for backups using the expansion Bay. However, I have opinions that I need a case of HW for the reader so that it will slide into the expansion Bay housing.

  What I need to know, is the document number in the case of HW and the scheme of distribution of the parts for my computer to confirm the part without condition.

  Kind regards

  Daryl Jones

  Hi Daryl,

  Bay expansion is actually a 5.25 "which is usually used for an additional optical drive.  However, you can use this Bay for one SSD or an additional hard drive using a 5.25 "to 3.5" adapter Bay or a 5.25 "to 2.5" Bay adapter.

  The e9280t of the firm also has berries to drive HP Pocket Media and personal media drive both of which as pluggable and portable USB hard drives.  These readers are hard to find at reasonable prices.  You might find them on eBay

  Hello

  I have no problem to the SSD in the W510 Ultra Bay hard drive adapter.  The problem is that "My computer" (Windows?) does not recognize.  Devices and Lenovo do Toolbox Manager.  How can I get the new drive recognized?  Notice that this disc is inserted into the Ultrabay slot not in primary hard drive Bay.

• Adding an SSD on my PC without having to replace the HARD drive

  Greetings!

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 180 t desktop PC with Windows 7 64 bit installed.  I do a good amount of games on my PC and a year ago I upgraded my card to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 graphics and my diet to a Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W unit.  I also have a card mother mATX (9.6 "x 9.6") of PEGATRON.

  Recently, I tried adding an SSD for my machine in order to improve the performance and organisation for some PC games that I love.  I did some research on the subject and am found a bit confused on whether or not, my motherboard will be able to handle the addition of an SSD in my machine.  I have read that I need you sure that my motherboard supports natively AHCI?  How can I check to be sure that if I buy an SSD that I'll be able to integrate it into my system?

  To be clear, I want to continue to use my disk regularly to run my operating system and all the other goodies on my PC and install an SSD for store and load my music/movies/games etc.  I was watching some affordable 'mushkin' SSD that seem to do the trick.  I can give the link for more later if necessary.  Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  F10 to the HP splash screen you will get in the bios.

  AHCI is recommended for use with an SSD, but it is not necessary. Most modern SSDS are supported operation garbage collection which does almost the same thing to maintain the SSD.  Check with the manufacturer of your SSD.

  Even if the SATA controller is set to RAID and the SSD doesn't not part of an active array, topping should always work.

• Want DV7 - 7227cl adding an ssd as boot drive and keep the original as a data reader drive.

  I want to do this and use the software that came with the laptop, not go out and buy more.

  Anyone with an idea how to do this... now the laptop is booting from the SSD and the physical disk is removed, because she takes as boot drive.

  Thank you and please do not suggest the online chat, all came from there and was no help.

  Hello cboycam,

  Your owner's manuals can be beneficial as well, especially the HD and SSD identify, prevent, diagnose and recovery of the failure of road and maintenance Guide.

  Good luck!
