Alienware 17 R3 with Samsung 950 Pro
After receiving my new Alienware, I decided to install a Samsung 950 Pro. After a lot of sweat, blood and tears and TONS of frustration, I was able to get 10 Windows installed as well as most of my games. I felt he was finally sure to re - install the HARD disk supplied with the notebook 1 TB.
Boy I was wrong, he refuses to detect the PRO 950 and refused to start at all. I have the 1 TB back out, just so that I could start again under the windows installed on the Pro 950. And before you say anything yes I disable the startup of windows for the 1 TB option in the Bios.

Please help: cannot install Windows XP (64-bit) on my Macbook Pro.
Hi all
I desperately need help! I've installed and upgraded to VMware Fusion 2.02, then created a Virtual Machine (Windows XP Professional) and inserted my XP Pro. Editing student (64-bit) in my disc drive.
The virtual machine starts, and moments later he said: "trying to load an x 64 operating system, however this CPU is not compatible with this mode. Please install a x 86 32-bit operating system"
Now, I tried to do some research to solve the problem, and VMware says that any version of 2.0 + would make 64-bit Windows OS works. Apparently, this isn't the case! VMware Tools is installed, either, but you do not have to install the guest operating system to install the tools? I'm certainly in computing, but not knowledgeable like any of you. What can I do to fix this? I'm really bummed that this cool software I bought does not work for me. =(
I have a Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz under Leopard.

Dell XPS 13 2015 and update of Samsung 950 PRO m2
When I ordered my Dell XPS 13 May of this year, I ordered it with a disc of 256 GB knowing that I would upgrade eventually to a disk of 512 GB once the new discs of NVMe m2 were out. I didn't do well capture the variations in m2 and when I pre-ordered the 512 GB Samsung 950 PRO NVMe I expected to pop in and go. No luck. I should have known that they would not make it as simple as that... :-(
The drive is compatible physically of course, but has the "M" key edge connector, while the drive I pulled the connector edge key "B & M. I am running the BIOS A05 on the Dell, but he can't see the PRO 950 drive at BIOS level. The integrated test tool indicates "no hard disk". If this seems to be a BIOS problem.
Anyone have any ideas? Is it a question of Dell, he argues with a new BIOS update? Or it will never work because the XPS 13 is not compatible with this generation of pilots of M2? Looks like I need to go back to what happens, but if Dell eventually allows, I may buy it again.
If it won't work, any suggestions on a 512 GB drive that works? Samsung XP941 or XP951 will work? An idea about the difference between the two (the XP951 is $50 + more).
UPDATE: this player is not compatible with the Dell XPS 13 and probably will never be because of energy consumption (5-7 watts). You just don't want a storage device that power in your laptop. The Samsung SM951 512 GB is the best player at the moment.
For the record, I was able to get the 950 is recognized Pro to install windows 10 on simply turn on the legacy startup options. Once turned on my windows install USB he saw as installable media. After installing the drive had an EFI boot sector, so I was able to disable legacy startup.

Hello
Here is another solution, you can try to see if you can get Windows 7 to install correctly.
Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).
An example of a COA label can be seen here.
You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here. These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

All pilots additional and the software, you may need can be found here.

Hello
I see that you have a problem in the installation of new Windows USB port. It seems that your HDD was not detected, right? It's because your laptop uses a SATA HDD.
what you need to do are:
1. download the driver AHCI SATA website of intel. (just google it)
2. copy the files (size 700 KB for 6 files) into the new USB
3. reboot and install your laptop with win 7 (dvd/usb)
4. by the time win 7 installation reached the drive to install (none detected), click load drivers.
5. now load your other USB SATA drivers.
6. then will show all disks in your system.
7. continue with the installation process.
hope this helps.

Cannot install Windows XP update KB2718704; Get error # 0x800A138F. I would appreciate a mention of help on this issue. Thank you.
(My Automatic Updates usually work, but this time not to go.) Updates are obtained through IE8 browser, but I prefer FireFox for daily use.)
Thank you! Success!
I used method 2, because I had already tried method 1 earlier, but the "fix it" went wrong. After reading the information from method 2, I opted to use my FireFox instead of IE8 browser, because I suspected that the process Internet Explorer that are included with the update was a large part of the cause of my problem. Among the options, I used Microsoft Download center to locate the update I needed and then through its validation and finally made the download and reboot. Voila!
Can you please explain why the process more automated via IE did not work for me? Why I resorted to the labour process more that I used? Can I expect this of all the other "critical" updates that I get on my machine Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005? Maybe your answers would also be interesting to others.
