Boot SSD eSATA Y560

Hello

Just installed Windows XP on my OCZ SSD that was installed in my desktop pc. I used it on my pc Windows 7 to start XP just to play a few games that will not work under Windows 7. I removed the SSD drive and now use it on my laptop Y560. The drive works fine and I can read and write to it without any problems. Then, I tried to boot from it again so I added the eSATA port in the startup configuration in the Bios Y560. When using the F12 key to select the drive it flashes to the Windows XP splash screen and then display a windows stop error message and restarts and then go back to my Windows 7.

I'm looking for answers for a week now, but nothing I've tried has helped at all! I know that maybe someone had this problem and any help would be great.

Hello
Windows xp runs on sata Ide mode. You will have to change the sata mode in the bios to ahci Ide to start for win xp and need to change back to Ahci to startup in Windows 7. There is a driver ahci for windows xp that you can install after windows xp in ide mode is started and if all goes well after that start windows xp in ahci. AHCI driver

Just to note, windows xp does not support switchable graphics. If you have switchable graphics, you can then run the gpu intel only.

  • Satellite A660 - how to specify as boot drive eSATA

    I'm going to make a clone of my HDD bootable resident to a 2.5 "SATA in a connection to the laptop via eSATA box. I restarted my computer and press F12 (or F2 for BIOS) to see how to select the boot order. The devices listed are:

    HDD/SDD
    CD/DVD
    FLOPPY DRIVE
    LAN

    How does an eSATA boot? He explained in a technical forum that eSATA is considered "internal" and the A660 can start on it.

    Hello

    The BIOS of Satellite A660 supports booting from eSATA.
    The following devices are supported:
    -USB FDD,
    -Primary HDD/SSD,
    -Optical devices,
    -Network (LAN),
    -supported with eSATA

    I guess you will need to connect the boot device to the eSATA port before turning on the laptop and start the boot process.

  • Satellite L500-131 - it can boot from eSATA?

    Hello

    I want to buy a Toshiba Satellite L500-131, but first I want to know information about the BIOS of the L500.

    In the BIOS you have a choice to boot on the eSATA/player device?

    Thank you for your answer

    Excuse me for my bad English

    Nice day

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that you cannot boot from the external HARD drive.
    Before buy you, you can also talk with your local dealer about this.

  • Intend to upgrade my z620 with a boot SSD disk (and maybe a new series of processors) - advice?

    Much as I love my z620, having a SATA boot drive is painful, once you have become accustomed to instant gratification of SSD.

    I plan to buy an Intel SSD and a stand-alone version of of64-bit Windows 7 to go with it. My plan is to do a clean install of the operating system and applications on the SSD (assuming that I can make it work). Is this what I need to know it's HP Workstation specific in order to complete this upgrade? I guess I need to enable the AHCI in the BIOS (J61 v03.69).

    Another question - I currently have two UC E5-2620 (these are the Xeons V1). I want to upgrade these high V2s of range at some point in the future. I think that systems with older BIOS are not able to upgrade, but I think that my installed BIOS is a newer version (end of autumn, 2013).  I agree that any upgrade would be at my own risk and I would like to get the thoughts of others about the feasibility of this.

    First of all, at this later date of starting block that you provide in your second post it seems that, like you can make v2 upgrades.  There is the old 1 1 most recent trunk block versions of the motherboard Z620 date and you can search in the forum here to say from the BIOS easily if you have the original or revision 1 motherboard.  I think that you already know the answer on that.

    This is important: I hope that you have the original SATA drive it HP supplied with the workstation.  Which is a HP Recovery partition which you can see on disk management in the Device Manager.  This partition, you can create optical disks or even a bootable USB key that will allow you to rebuild from scratch a clone of the W7Pro64 which should / could come from the factory.  Who is a clone facility and has this title the OEM W7Pro64 COST so that it activates.  It's a generic COST.   You don't need to spend 140.00 to get W7Pro64... you have probably already under the terms of your purchase Z620.

    The value of this COST is that you can clean reinstall that way and a clone of your new installation can be imaged and even placed on an another Z620 and it will activate it too (be sure to respect the conditions of use for such things).  Because it's the OEM COA clone in question here you can make clones/backups with ease.

    You can do your own build directly on a new SSD at this "Recovery" approach, and the installer will know what to do.  You should already have your emulation of BIOS SATA RAID value + equivalent AHCI... for sure you want that, to get the benefits that come with the new SSD SATA/readers.  A generation of SSD Z620 we have recently received from HP has a C400 Micron 256 GB SSD from the factory.  I got older versions of HP of this SSD of eBay, made a low level of DBAN reformatting, so a format NTFS (long type) and updated the firmware to the same level as that on this new SSD HP (070 H).  There is a firmware update HP to do this with, which works very well.  You need to do the update with the HP update if it's an HP OEM SSD.

    Finally, there are different converters for the SSD is a form factor 3.5 "2.5".  HP has some devices "slide-in" way too expensive for this ("tool-less"), but I posted here on the HP screw equivalent which has exactly the same interface of BlindMate to sheets of data/SATA power of Z620 than mesh disk drawers with... Search eBay for "hp 2.5 to 3.5" and these work perfectly in the Z620 therefor.»  It is now my favorite device.

    processors v2... I hope that someone else will pay for those.  Not cheap.

  • XPS boot SSD 8900

    I am trying to replace the hard drive on my desktop XPS 8900 with a SanDisk SSD.  When I boot the system I get an error screen that says: "Hard Drive - disk error found. The attention! Hard drive or optical drive not found' However, when I hit "continue" on this screen, the system boots fine and works like a charm.

    I saw a firmware SanDisk SSD update on downloads.dell.com... I downloaded it, but the zip file seems to be password protected and there is not a password in the instructions on the dell site.

    It's very frustrating

    Windows 10 in case that is important.

    Thanks Z4ko, I fixed it and I am operating. The sata0 has blue into the connector on the motherboard, so I moved that to sata4 here is what I did.

    Unplug the HD and entered Bios pulled the RAID for UEFI

    boot from Win 10 stick of mem and loading in the SSD 256 in Sata5 card m2 on the mother, charge card win 10.

    Restarted fine I'm now running on the SSD.

    re - connect now connected HD Sata4 tried to start and received the error "a required device is not connected or is not accessible."

    handed on in the bios and disabled secure boot

    restart on SSD ok and seen HD, format, would lead letter, etc... everything is good.

    went back into the bios and re-enabled secure boot.

    All right.

  • XPS 420 will not again boot SSD

    I have a XPS 420 with BIOS A07. I bought a Samsung 500 G 850 EVO SSD. I used the software included to duplicate my existing HD. It worked without problem. I then installed the SSD, went into the BIOS. I found the place where I had to define SATA2 port where it is plugged into the motherboard, for on. After the reboot, I went into the BIOS and when I select SATA2, it now offers information on the SSD. I also see it in Windows Explorer. However, I don't see an option to make the boot drive. There is a section on the Boot order in BIOS, but it lists all SATA drive. It does not specify which.

    In addition, in the section on SATA there is no AHCI option. Just ATA SATA or RAID. I found the instructions on the Web to enable the AHCI in the registry for this computer. I followed the steps and was able to change two settings by following the instructions. Check back shows them as changed. But AHCI still does not appear as an option in the BIOS. How can I make my new SSD boot drive?

    Thanks for the help.

    Looks like I may have found a solution, although I'm surprised that it worked, and perhaps something else is what actually works. I had assumed that the number of SATA port on the motherboard has no importance. But just in case where SATA0 was faster and possibly solve the problem, I moved my SSD to SATA0, my old HDD to SATA1 and SATA2 DVD player. I went into the bios to activate SATA0, which I had previously turned off as the old hard drive is plugged it and always started for her. I have saved and let it start and of course it is initialized to the SSD. I then restarted and went into the BIOS and made sure that he considered every car on the SATA port, and that each has been activated. Everything was going as planned and he continued then to start on the SSD. The old drive appears in Windows Explorer under E. The DVD player works, as well.

    I guess most of the people must not do this, because they can set the boot sequence for the SATA via the BIOS drives. But since I could not, it seems, this method worked, and going in the order the SATA ports. And it's probably just as well use SATA0 for my SSD just in case it is faster. My guess is that all SATA ports are the same and slow in this old Dell. But it works and I'm happy.

    I'm surprised that there are no answers to my questions or problems. I guess that my Dell is too old. However, I thought that I would get something from the community. Until about five years ago, Dell had a different provider for their forums with lots of participation. I think that the provider has been appointed the lithium. It seemed that when they changed providers people were disappointed and veterans left.  In any case, I hope that my experience will be useful to someone. I can't be the only one running from these computers. And now with this SSD running, I will continue to do so for some time more.

  • How to create a boot SSD disk?

    Hi all

    I have a Pavilion p6310y (under Win 7 64 bit home premium) I added an Intel 40 GB SSD for.  I would like to boot from the SSD drive.   The recovery disks that I created will not work with a different size disk (the player to the factory is 1 TB) and I was wondering if there is a way to use the existing installation of windows 7 HP to create a solution?

    Thank you

    Reduce the footprint of your current hard drive 40 GB below!  You may or may not need another external hard drive in order to facilitate migration.  Use a disk product like Paragon Hard Drive Management Suite of Imaging.  You can also burn a WinPE boot disk to facilitate the process. I got my HD on my e9280t up to 32 GB as follows:

    1. disable System Restore

    2. disable hibernation

    3. delete all the necessary applications and migrate the data on the hard drive.

    Now reboot and defragment the hard drive. Reduce your C partition down to below 38 GB using W7 disk management or imaging software features.  You may not be able to migrate the recovery partition, as it is the 8-9 gb.  When you use imaging software, you will notice that you have three partitions. 'system or reserved', C and recovery.  You need the 'system or reserved' and C partitions.   Now, you can try image (copy) the required two partition and the mbr directly across the SSD.

    Once you get the SSD mounted, turning and imaged, then you are ready for a test. You can hit the ESC key on the blue HP screen during startup and select your boot device or go into bios and change the boot order and put the SSD at the top of the list of boot devices.

    If you have only one HD, then you have room inside for mount the new SSD, but you'll need a sata data cable and adapter support.  You must have a spare hard drive power cable but get one before you start.

    If you prefer to go with an external SSD (not mounted on the inside), will need you the following:

    1. an external hard drive (probably 2.5 ") box. You will need a power of cube or buy a box that has a round plug to USB port. ($20 35)

    2. a support extension sata to extend an open port sata (cheap) motherboard

    3. a data cable of stata (cheap)

  • Boot SSD on charges windows configuration install on the Aspire S3 - 951

    I am trying to install Windows on an Aspire 8.1 s3-951. The computer has two drives, a 20 GB SSD for the startup, then a larger storage drive. Before I removed Windows 7, Windows displays only a large disk. I installed Windows 8.1 on the SSD, but I can't understand how to make window think them as a single disk.

    Suggestions? Thank you!

    the 20 GB SSD was not for the OS, but just like cache for a rapid reactivation of hibernation and on windows 7, he was simply hidden the system.

    in my opinion, the creation of a single hard drive is not a value since involves the RAID configuration and you feel not probably speed optimizations.

  • SSD for the boot, SSD, reformatting of the files needed for a normal startup of Windows 7

    I just have to use the SSD Sandisk more for the startup of Windows 7 and MSOffice programs.
    I made a mistake of a new copy on Windows 7 top loading.
    What I wanted, it was just part of Windows 7 with all current configurations and keep the data on the other hard drive.

    So what I did is to clone the old HD (which was almost full) to a larger HD, so I have a full copy, which is bootable.
    I took the old HD and removed/uninstalled all data & programs except: all files in Windows, the files MS Ofc, video card, keyboard & mouse records, Internet browsers, contact lists, etc.

    My plans were to take stripped this old HD, after defragmentation and clone through for the Sandisk SSD, so it will start quickly.

    My first concern is to clean the SSD drive that has the Windows 7 barebones.
    Can I just reformat?

    Any other considerations that I missed?

    You can re - format the disk and run clone on it, if you don't want to keep of course.

    The situation you describe seems feasible for me

  • Aurora ALX won't boot SSD

    I have a new chassis ALX that I built and exchanged components of my R4 not of Aurora ALX. It does not start on my Crucial SSD M4. My original thread was about the swap, but I encountered this problem now that the swap is completed. My R4 had bios A11, while the new motherboard in the ALX has bios A08. The unit starts and goes to the start screen for Alienware with post beeps, but does not load Windows on my SSD and I get an error stating "non system disk or disk error." It has been suggested that I have install my motherboard the original R4, but I really hope that there is another way to solve this problem.

    Yes I am good Cass. Thanks again for all the help. I'll do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro at a point and move. Now, except for a few small problems, everything is good. The seller sent me a new motherboard and card MIO. Sold my old case on eBay too, except that the buyer is resembling a deadbeat because he has not paid after 3 days. Oh well-REList time!

  • j170ca Envy17 - add an SSD, the main boot drive + partition recovery?

    Hi, I decided to change the original HARD for one SSD drive, making it the main startup disk SSD, but I also want to keep the data recovery for the future. How should I proceed? I mark the partition on the SSD first, copy the original data recovery on the new SSD partition. Then clean install Windows 8 on the boot SSD partition and (newly copied) recovery can restore HP applications?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You can create a set of recovery and remove th Recvery partition. You have little choice

    (a) as above, create a set and cannot ignore the recovery partition,

    (b) use more (capacity) of SSD and clone the drive HARD whole, including the recovery partition. You will get two worlds, but the cost can be high due to the SSD costs.

    Kind regards.
