Clean install SSD - OWC?

• Remove the Dual Boot Win 7 Options - after clean install SSD

  Hi people,

  I was wondering if you could help us?

  I bought a PC that came with an SSD (256 GB) and a (2 TB) HARD drive, but for some reason, the operating system was installed on the HARD drive!

  I finally sort myself and performed a clean installation of windows on the SSD drive and after some messing about with the pilots, he is now in place and works very well.

  However when turn on, I get two options of starting two Windows 7, one on the SSD and one original on the HARD drive (I can start if I wanted to right now).

  • How can I get rid of the old drive HARD install & boot options?
  • Is it too easy to delete the partitions in the Disk Manager & potentially adjust the MSConfig options?
  • This will also remove the files and erase the drive down or do I reformat or clean this player in some way as well?

  A couple of things that I was concerned compared...

  • Initially, I had some of my games Steam installed on the SSD, will it manually delete these or the windows install crushed the?
  • After the installation of Windows, a number of drivers were missing (including the network card). I used the Auto search function to find and use those of the old installation of OS. Delete/remove the old BONES will affect these?

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.

  Thank you

  Yes, you can use msconfig to remove the HARD drive boot entry. Once this is done, you must manually remove the windows and program files (also Program Files (x 86), if you are using Windows x 64) files of the directory of the HARD drive.

  • Initially, I had some of my games Steam installed on the SSD, will it manually delete these or the windows install crushed the?
  If you have performed a clean Windows installation, with formatting, the files would have been deleted. If this isn't the case, you must manually remove the files.
  • After the installation of Windows, a number of drivers were missing (including the network card). I used the Auto search function to find and use those of the old installation of OS. Delete/remove the old BONES will affect these?
  No, it won't have an impact. Each installation of Windows is separated and none of them can affect the performance of others.

• New SSD - clean install USB 10.11.5 fails

  I have a mini Mac 2012 delay servier I use as a desktop computer. He had more storage that I needed if I swapped the boot with an OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6 G SSD drive in the lower Bay, I left a second 1 TB drive 'data' in the upper Bay. The exchange took place without a hitch. I have rebuilt then key USB 3.0 I used initially do a clean install on the previous drive, with the latest version of El Capitan, I followed the instructions in this link: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372

  I unplugged everything except power, network, monitor mini displayport and USB drive built above. I then start the USB key, select disk utility and erase the disc SSD - Mac OS extended (journaled) and name it MacIntosh HD. Then I continue with the installation by choosing MacIntosh HD as the startup disk.

  All apparently okay for about 5 minutes and then stops at "about a second remaining", he is sitting here for about 5 minutes and then goes to "0 seconds remaining", he is sitting here for a few minutes and then it reports "an error occurred during the preparation of the installation. Try to rerun this application".

  I experienced this about half a dozen times, after a few times, I've downloaded again the file install El Capitan and recreated the USB installation drive. I let it run all night and the result is the same, there is always activity in the newspaper, but same result. I also ran on the SSD health check after that deletion and he gets a healthy ratio.

  Before the error of the last entry in the log is "error writing to Volumes/MacIntosh HD/OS X Install Data / minstallconfig.xml".

  If I come back in disk utility after the MacIntosh HD volume error is more rose. I read that if OS X sees an SSD and a Standard disc, it can try to create a hybrid car, but you can skip this process and have just a SSD drive. I also see an entry in the log that the second disc "failed, volume-tick" because "this disk is used for Time Machine backups". (I have a backup disk of another computer).

  Anyway, looking for help. I'll copy the log for the next post, I can also call Macsales support but wanted to start here. Thank you...

  The paper is long enough, decided to wait to see if someone actually wanted to see.

  

• How to do a clean install of El Capitan on new ssd?

  I bought a new SSD to replace the SATA drive in my Macbook Pro for mid-2010. I am running Yosemite. What I want to do, is to do a clean install of El Capitan on the SSD. I also bought a pregnant and plan on the use of the old drive as an external backup.

  I need some advice: after installing the ssd in the MBP and the old drive in the box, I intend to plug the old drive for the MBP, format the SSD drive and then use a reader flash which I did the Setup file of El Capitan to a clean of El Capitan for the SSD install and then use the Migration Wizard to migrate applications and files from the old drive.

  Is there a better way? Maybe install the SSD in the enclosure first, connect to the MBP, then shaped and do cleaning installation of El Capitan?

  All advice is appreciated.

  installing the SSD in the pregnant first, connect to the MBP, then shaped and do clean install of El Capitan?

  It's better. Some of these Macs experience problems after surgery. The new installation using the outside doing will give you confidence that it works before surgery, and no problem introduced by surgery can be separated from issues of installation and update. It will install and run in an external, just may be a little slow.

• IdeaPad y510p clean Windows 7 install - SSD not detected

  I bought a new Ideapad y510p just before Christmas and I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7-64 bit.

  I created a USB startup device as required and put the drivers from lenovo on her page too.

  My problem is: after you delete the partitions, the installer of windows 7 do not recognize the SSD more...
  My BIOS is set with legacy of disabled secure boot support.

  Furthermore, when it came to load the drivers, it says no driver signed device not found.

  Someone has an idea of what's going on?

  Hi Clet,

  Since the serial number on this picture, you have the 59375625 model. After digging further, this parts search page and this point merchant does not seem an SSD on the specifications list. If the reception / box indicates that you have a 1 TB + 24 GB SSD, you may need to check under the hood (see pages 38-39 of the hardware maintenance manual)

• Help with a clean install of W7 upgrade DVD on SSD student.

  A 32-bit Vista running, upgrading to 64 - bit by doing a clean install on another drive (SSD).  It works fine, except that the old man is still "System" drive and I can't start with the SSD as boot drive.  And when I boot the old disk I have the option to load Vista or W7.

  I'm confused on what actually the upgrade disc.  Do I have some of the Vista on the SDS files to get W7 to install correctly - or is a new installation, a clean install?  I guess I'm looking at another facility (~ 6 hrs.) because I don't have my drive correctly partitition or something.

  I've never had this problem before loading a new OS.  I don't know if it's the SSD, the upgrade method used or old age which is the cause of my problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Can I clean install on HP vista 32 to Win 7 Professional 64 with new ssd dv3

  Can someone tell me please

  I have 2 questions:

  1: if I enter new SSD in my pavilion dv3, running on vista 32-bit, can I then install new version recently purchased windows 7 Professional 64-bit instead of 32 bit installation, or should it be 32-bit. ?

  2: I printed a Wiindows 7 upgrade report and it says that my processor is: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU [email protected] with 3 GB of memory and it says my upgrade options are 32-bit windows 7 Home premium or ultimate. This does not change and will it work with the professional version, because it will be a clean install on a new ssd?

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated

  Hello:

  The T6500 is a 64-bit processor.

  As a result, you should have no problem upgrade from Vista 32 bit to W7 64-bit.

  You must start from the W7 x 64 installation DVD.  You cannot run it from a 32-bit windows desktop.

  When you get to the install window now and click Next, the upgrade option will be grayed out.

  You must perform a custom (clean) installation when moving from a 32-bit to a 64-bit operating system.

  I'm not quite sure on why it is said that you cannot move to W7 Pro if you can upgrade to W7 Ultimate.

• Try to do a clean install of Windows 7 to new SSD, would like to know if I can use the same product key.

  Original title: re-install Windows 7

  Hello. I recently built my own PC and installed a purchased copy of Windows 7 hard disk. I'm upgrading to an SSD 120 GB and I was wondering if there was a way completely erase my old hard drive for all files and all re - install windows using my CD key and product. I heard that once you use the product key, the copy of Windows is 'married' to this hard drive and the key cannot be used anywhere else. Is this true? Basically, I'm doing a clean install on this new SSD. Thank you.

  Not at all, you can erase and reinstall Windows as many times as you want as long as you have the product key.  The only restriction is that the key can be used only on one computer at a time.  Unless this key is used somewhere else, you can install a billion times.  The key is what you pay for, not the CD (in fact, if you lose the CD you can download another copy, but you need to keep your secret key).

  In any case, the process is simple: just put in the CD and restart and follow the steps to install.  When you get calls that lead to install on, you have options to format (erase) the drive and basically start over completely.

  The only real thing you need to know is that, after the installation, you will need to go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the drivers for your computer.  According to the computer, you may need to get the driver of network from another computer and copy it using a flash drive (if the network needs the driver before it can connect).

• clean install of win 7 on intel ssd nvme 750

  I am trying to build a new processor and use a motherboard with bios update appropriate for nvme (ASUS Sabertooth) and a version of nvme 750 Intel SSD. I'll do a clean install on win7 system and do not know with certainty how (will install process, download the appropriate drivers) to get the necessary drivers. Just to be clear, I ask the correct question, for it will be a slot PCLe install. There may be other issues that I'm not aware of if I appreciate all entries

  A word on terminology - an important point. You're not building
  a new processor. It is not possible. What you build is a new
  computer.

  "CPU" means "Central processing unit". In modern furniture
  computers, the CPU is a relatively small chip, one
  integrated circuit. It is on the motherboard inside the computer
  case. It is not the case itself, or the entire computer, which
  includes the case and what it contains.

  I don't know how incorrect practice began the appeal of the whole
  the "processor" of the computer, but here's my guess: when you buy a computer, you
  normally get the deal and what is in it, with a monitor,
  keyboard, mouse and perhaps a printer. All of these devices
  connect to the ports on the case. Because everything connects to the case,
  the case is "Central" to everything, and the term "Central."
  Processing unit"is sometimes badly understood and poorly applied to it.

  Yes, in this case, I understand what you mean even if you used
  the bad word. But depending on the situation, using the word
  wrong in the future, especially if you have questions, may
  confuse those who read your message and you get the wrong information.
  This is why it is important that you understand what is a CPU.

  and use a motherboard (ASUS Sabertooth) with suitable for nvme updated bios and a version of nvme 750 Intel SSD. I'll do a clean install on win7 system and do not know with certainty how (will install process, download the appropriate drivers) to get the necessary drivers.

  You should get the drivers on the web sites of the material

• Clean install of Windows 7 Professional on a new ssd.

  I intend to buy an ssd. my pc was originally run under windows vista and I had him upgraded to windows 7 Professional. is it possible to do a clean install of my windows 7 Professional on the new ssd? If so, how? and Microsoft will allow this? It's always the same pc.

  If you have a win7 upgrade version, you must install the earlier version of the victory first then move to win7.

  If your version of Vista was preinstalled by the PC manufacturer you pourriez have encountered problems with your recovery disc for the ssd.

  Personally I would not buy a smaller than 256 GB ssd

  Depending on the size of your current C drive, it might be better advised to clone the SSD using a third party, software of imagery of the installation, for example Acronis TI, as she has more options than the buit in win7 imaging tool

• Clean install of windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade, I have windows xp x 32 on a disk hard available, which I no longer use, can I do this?

  I want to clean install windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade.

  I have windows xp x 32 on an existing hard drive which I no longer use, I can do this, that I can start the upgrade process, and then point the installation on the new SSD?
  I really don't want to install XP on the new SSD and am not bothered about keeping programs or settings

  How to do a clean install:

  Step 1: Use the upgrade wizard to describe the PC and pay the $40 (US)

  Step 2: When the 'Install Windows 8' message appears, select 'Install by creating media' to create a bootable USB key or .iso (a disk image) file.

  Step 3: Wait for the Wizard download Windows 8 Pro installation package and create the bootable media or .iso file. The flash player must be having 3 GB or more of free space available.

  Step 4: Burn the .iso file, if that's the path you have chosen, to a blank DVD.

  Step 6: When you get to the screen in the Setup program that asks, "which type of installation you want?" choose "custom".

  Step 7: Select a drive for the operating system partition in the next screen. At this point, you can create a new partition if there is enough space available or reformat the hard disk.

  Step 8: Proceed with the installation of Windows 8 Pro.

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  Just a short note to tell you I had this work - I was just using the samsungs migration software - something that I had already tried before but without success - difference this time is that instead of connect the SSD drive via the usb port 3 as they suggest (for the initial migration), I connected directly to the pc.
