• SSD in new ALX R4 installation and what makes the startup disk

  Have just ordered a new R4 ALX. Would have preferred to order a combo HDD SSD, but Dell didn't, this combo and the largest SSD they available was 512 GB.

  Thus, when the new PC arrives, I intend to install a 840 Samsung 1 TB mSATA SSD EVO (using an Icy Box 2.5 "to 3.5" HDD/SSD converter).

  YouTube has a video showing how:

  "Alienware Aurora ALX R4 - installation of an SSD.

  Re-install the operating system? Can I clone on the SSD HARD drive, then change the boot order? Something else?

  For any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

• Uninstall the bootcamp partition: the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

  A few months ago, I created a Windows 8 bootcamp partition, and then, I updated for Windows 10 without any problem. But I no longer need and I would attribute this space to OS X. The problem is when I try to remove it from the app of Bootcamp, I get this message: "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted in a single volume in Mac OS extended (journaled) or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows. »

  It comes to the current state of the hard drive:

  

  You have an idea? Thanks for the help.

• Bootcamp error: "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition" and Windows recovery partitions

  I have Setup with Bootcamp Windows 8 and then upgrade to Windows 8.1, and then upgrade to Windows 10.

  When I want to restart the training camp that I got the error message: "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

  According to this page, it is because of Windows recovery partitions added during the 8 to 8.1 migration and 8.1 to 10.

  I check with diskutil and I found 2 partitions of Windows Recovery:

  I tried to delete the Windows Recovery 2 partitions with disk utility tools but the button "-" to remove them were leaving is disabled.

  Is it a good idea to remove these partitions? If yes how?

  1. What is the year/model of your Mac?

  2. you are trying to install a new copy of the W10 or remove the existing installation?

  3. do you have the W8 or installation/upgrade W8.1 had problems before the upgrade of the W10?

• cannot get rid of movies too much space on the startup disk

• BootCamp not appearing player is not in the startup disk.

  Just today, I noticed that my bootcamp drive does not appear in the startup disk in system preferences. I use 10.11 El Capitan. However, I was able to boot both of the OS by pressing 'option '. And also disk utility does not show the bootcamp partition. But in the finder, it shows the partition. When I try in recovery mode disk utility, here it shows the bootcamp partition. But not in OS X.

  And finally, 'get info' when I try and guess what: it shows the last open: January 1, 1970, at 05:30. which is never true.

  Is this problem of OS X, how do I do?

  

  You can try to run first aid by using disk utility. I would start on the recovery drive to do.

  Restart the computer and hold command-R

  Also, once you have repaired the disk in the recovery drive, quit disk utility, then leave OS X Utilities and select "Choose Startup disk." See if the Windows partition appears here.

  Good luck

  You can do it. No problem at all. Hard drives are not specific model of laptop parts and with hard drives is important compatibility.
  On the new laptop, which you can use different hard drives. Important is that use you compatible HARD drive.

  Just do it. After Exchange of HARD drive install Os again and everything will be OK.

• Need help with the disks 'unreadable' configuring software raid after the death of the startup disk and system restored.

  I'm looking for some advice on how to restore a windows xp installation software raid 5 that was running on my XP system. I had a problem when the startup disk has failed, but I was able to backup the system before it can. I replaced the drive and restored the system and everything came, but I was not smart to do this and accidently left the readers connected when restoring raid. I don't know if windows has done something when I tried to install XP on the new drive, or maybe something else has happened when I restored the system from the backup, but my raid drives can not be used. There was a moment in the restaurant business I saw a message on the MBR, but I thought that was just for the drive being restored. I didn't have a single player who held any information on the other disks in the system, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

  When the system boots the windows logo screen takes 10-20 minutes before you get on the desktop. Windows Disk Manager takes 20-30 minutes to fill the list of drives and status on the disks three raid is 'dynamic' and 'unreadable' is not reassuring. I suspect it's a problem MBR or partition table that must be corrected before trying to reactive the raid, but this is just speculation.

  The raid drives are on a promise ide/scsi disk and make it appear to start correctly with names and sizes. After that I get nothing. I do not have another scsi controller (or), but I thought I'd try active @ partition recovery to see if she can find information on the disks.

  I hope someone has some experience with recovery like this, because this is a first for me. I thought I was pretty sure running a raid-5, but wouldn't you know, the tech gods have found a way to crush my plans...

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  startup sound

  Is there a way to change the startup sound?

  In Windows 7, the real startup sound is built-in and cannot be changed. However, to work around the problem, you can uncheck Play Windows startup sound on the sounds tab and change the sound for the Windows logon event in the list. Tim Baets
