After that, what is the best way to proceed?

  
  

• HP EliteBook 8730w: replacement of SSD for the boot drive not recognized

  I'm trying to install a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500 GB instead of the original 500 GB HDD in my Elitebook 8730w (product no. VF889PA #ABG). The 8730w has the latest BIOS (F.20) installed and that is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (fully patched).

  When it is connected to the laptop through a USB adapter, to clone the HARD disk image. the SSDS works correctly. Cloning through data Migration Samsung is reported as a success, and the image of the C:\ drive occupies approximately 153 GB. The image of the disc does not include the partition of 1 GB dedicated to HP_TOOLS, due to a known limit of the Samsung software supplied.

  When it is installed in the HARD drive Bay. the SSD is not recognized as a drive and does not appear in the list of startup options. The available boot options only shown are the DVD or a network boot.

  would be very grateful for any advice on the steps required to successfully install the Samsung SSD as boot drive.

  Hmmm.
  Honestly no, I'm not happy with this one. If it was my machine, I'd be a little concerned about whats the corner of the street. In view of the age, is not surprising really, things wear out over time, the mere fact of electronics.
  
  Search through everything you have posted, all photos, pdf, all the text double checking. I am absolutely puzzled as to what happened. If you 100% does not reinstall the hard disk between the posts above where no HARD drive is detected in the menu boot options for the post below that where the HARD drive is detected in the same menu. I would say that you have a problem with either, the ssd, the computer motherboard laptop or the small connector on the sata port, I think on these is integrated on the motherboard, so it seems that your advice is doubtful.
  If his works now, great... but be aware that your machine can fail at some point in the near future. And it looks like a defect of the motherboard, other things are probably waiting to fail.
  
  There is no reason whatsoever your laptop must not have seen this ssd at first startup. A HARD drive is a HARD disk, if its compatible sata, then it will work, no doubt. When he is not on an older machine, its probably a sign of a faulty component.
  
  Looking through your bios options, I recommend the following.
  
  On startup options, get rid of internal nic pxe boot, that will only slow your machine at startup as it will seek for a network bootable device. This is the message that you get at startup saying Media Test Failure, this page is preventable with this option disabled.
  Less built lan/wlan switching on enabled in the options of the terminal, also change. This means that if you use wifi at home for example and you decide to plug in a cable network directly to the router to speed up the connection, it will not pass if it is not defined, you will have to do it manually. I work in a large company and the number of people who have this option is unreal. They all assume when they are docked they will on the wired connection.
  
  Because we are here too, if you ever have problems with a flickering screen, first thing to try, is disable the ambient light sensor which is just below this option of switching. Its fine on normally, but its quite common on 8560p for this causes a flickering screen.
  
  Hope that helped. Good luck in what you decide to do with the machine

• Z210 CMT: The boot drive SSD - considerations?

  I am setting up a new (refurb) Z210. I want to replace the boot with an SSD drive. I have all of the HP recovery discs.

  In reading some of the posts here, I think the most important factor seems to be not to install an SSD is a more SMALLER than the current hard drive Seagate SATA, which is a unit of 250GB.

  It seems that most Z210 SSD install uses an Intel 320 or 520 series-drive.

  Are there other things I need to know about installing an SSD as a boot drive for Win7/64-bit on this machine?

  Suggestions for specific drive?

  I have a pair of 15K cheetahs connected to an LS SAS3041E for storage, so I would only use the SSD for the OS and programs not RAID.

  Hi Phil, I also have an Z210 where I installed an SSD of 520 Intel as boot drive which works a treat...

  It takes a minimum of 128 GB, if you want to use the HP system recovery discs, see here.

  You can always use HP recovery disks and restore a bigger HARD drive, then reduce the volume and make them a backup on an external disk system, then restore your backup to a smaller SSD 120 GB and then finally to increase the volume of the size of the SSD as I here.

  Probably the biggest problem for some people is the SSD tool reports on issues related to the AHCI not selected and not to achieve the performance expected, which there are question here and here.

  The Intel SSD 520 is a great player, but the 120 GB version is not as fast as the larger versions in this series. The Samsung 840 Pro versions are also designed to be very good, but I liked the longer warranty Intel

  A lot of things to read, but these referenced threads should cover most of the bases.

• Should project files I absolutely to be stored on the boot drive by FCP 6

  Hello. I always understood that the FCP 6 project files must be stored on your boot drive and would like to know if it is still the recommended location (and why in this case) or I can store them on a 2nd internal drive or an external drive without any degradation of performance. My boot drive is a SSD drive and I would like to write him as little as possible. Thanks for any input from anyone.

  You ask on the FCP project file or media files for your project?

• Have a HP G62 notebook pc and I removed the boot drive. Help?

  cleaned the laptop so I could give it to my grandson and I deleted the startup disk

  Do you mean the Boot Manager?
  
  If you are using Windows 7, you can use a repair disk to fix this. If you do not, find someone who works in Windows 7 and they should be able to make one for you. If you run she'll fix it - assuming that's all that's wrong.
  
  Otherwise, you may need to do a full restore. For instructions, see page 104-105 HERE .
  
  Now if you have deleted the recovery partition, and that you don't a not burn backup discs - you will have to order from HP, or find someone with the OS disc that matches the product key on the bottom of your computer. The latter is a much more difficult way to re - install.
  
  I don't know if I understood your message, but I hope this helps.

• I want to add a Windows operating system. It takes on the boot drive?

  I have all of the required components to install Windows on a Mac Pro using VMware Fusion. The operating system Windows needs to be installed on the Mac startup drive, or can it be on its own internal drive? All the descriptions that I can find on the installation of Windows on a Mac leave a lot out and seem to assume that there is only a single disk and that the user knows all about the installation process. Should I format the Windows disc first? With what file system? I install the Windows OS first, then install VMware and hope she finds the installation? Who does what to whom and when? All links to this topic?

  Yes you can. See:

  Set up Windows on your Mac - Apple Support partition

  The only condition is that it must be installed on the internal drive. There are ways to move later to an external drive

• Restore the data in the external drive using Time Machine

  Hi y ' All!

  I store my photos in my external hard drive because there is not enough space in memory is internal. This is actually my second drive external hard than my first (Adata HE720) is not the beginning of last year. Unfortunately, my WD Elements has stopped working and I can't restore data using Time Machine, as the drive is not found in Time Machine under devices, and I'm sure that I restored my photo library and many other files from my old external drive using Time Machine.

  Can someone tell me how to recover my old files? I have many other important data here including my photos and I don't want to lose them. I'm fairly positive that Time Machine allows me to get the data as is the point of it.

  Thank you in advance!

  P.S. If you guys have any recommendation on a reliable external drive, please do tell me!

  Hey guys, I found the problem.

  It turns out that I'm never giving time Machine to deselect my external drive to backup; Therefore, there is absolutely no copy done during execution Time machine. I really don't understand why Apple made this the default behavior, but it is what it is.

  So, people, don't forget to go to Time Machine preferences and make sure that you remove the external hard drive that you want to backup under options. Once you do, you can enter the time Machine and your drive will appear under devices.

  See you soon.

• Why not block the senders feature using hotmail work?

  1. once the message is selected and block sender option is selected.  the address of the sender is located in the block message folder and will remove the folder Hoiwever, even if the message will delete folder instead, sneder is blocked;  the sender constantly send spam.

  This feature is not working is there a fis?

  2. second question: I received the message by a friend of emails confidence that a new virus is released which is sent to the user from Aol, hotmail and g-mail titled "now that you got it" by a hacker, that opening his deletions and destroyed all your files, microsoft is aware of this?  This can be confirmed?

  Hello

  You can't stop someone didn't send an email you no more than you can stop someone who knows your address sends you a letter. This is not what 'blocking' is on about. Blocking in this sense is the same as you just throw junk mail in the tray without the opening based on what you see on the envelope.

  In response to your second question, this looks like one of the many hoax/chain emails I've seen. I suggest "Googling" a part of the text correct to confirm my suspicions, place your exact quotes text so that google is looking for an exact match.

  Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

• Pavilion dv7: replace the boot drive primary hdd2

  My flag has two hard drives. I cloned the startup disk (1) on the secondary drive (2). Now, I want to move the disc 2 in the main drive as boot drive Bay. What is necessary to achieve this. Is there the bios settings to change or identify the settings on the readers who need to change?

  N ° all what you need to do is physically swap posts. The method varies a bit between generations dv7 different but basically you remove cover license plate and Exchange readers, for one another. If you give us the exact model, we can probably find illustrated instructions and maybe even a video.

  Only in the Bay of primary is bootable, which serves as a fail-safe.

• I want to recover the data on the hard drive using a laptop as a hard drive.

  Original title: Using a laptop as a hard drive...

  On a MAC, I can plug my laptop into my office with a firewire port to access the hard drive on the laptop without the OS being ran on the laptop.  Windows Vista has such a thing?  If so, how do you go?  The hard drive on my Windows laptop fails and we want to try and recover the data, by hooking it to a desktop as shown above with the MACs.

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  "There is no way to access the hard drive when there is no operating system and if the hard drive is connected terribly."

  However, you can remove the hard drive from the laptop and connect it to the office with a case of hard disk that comes with the USB cable.
