Cloning windows 7 for SSD (different controller)
Basically I change hard drive, so I would use the cloning utility (if all goes well he leaves me the image of the system partition).
But the SSD is attached to another controller, I added later.
For Win7 has no drivers to start on it (other than those that are set up to display the controller).
So I wonder how to integrate the drivers if needed, or what I would do in advance to avoid problems.
thx a lot
When you clone, it creates an exact replica of the layout of the partition. The minimum I recommend, if you plan to use cloning is to create a system repair disc:
Step 1:
See the instructions below how to do this using Easeus do save:
http://www.TODO-backup.com/backup-resource/data-transfer/move-Windows8.1-from-HDD-to-SSD.htm
You will probably need an external hard drive with enough space for the installation of backup hard disk.

Try to use the System Image to migrate from Windows 7 for SSD for boot upward
Hello
I have a new computer Windows 7 operting. I'm trying to migrate my OS to SSD for faster boots, etc..
I first tried various 3rd party applications such as EaseUS Partition Master and Reflect, all futile for unknown reasons.
Now I'm having problems using the built-in tool "Create a System Image" Windows 7.
The Image of the system seems to be created properly and is listed in the appropriate folder. The next step is to use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to save the ISO file, then use this ISO on the DSS file.
Unfortunately, despite all that I've read to the contrary, the file created by windows wasn't an ISO... it saved as a VHD file. The download tool cannot copy VHD - only ISOs.
Microsoft technical support suggested that I have post the question. All the patches?
Thanks in advance!
What happens when you boot the system repair disc? If necessary, you will need to enter your BIOS Setup utility and make your optical drive the first boot device.
You have created the system image includes everything: the files of your operating system, your application to the program folder and your data. Assuming that you have already used your system for awhile and so Windows, your installed programs and files total user more than 128 GB, the image does not fit on the SSD.
If everything except your totals of less than 128 GB user files, then a possible scenario would be to backup all your files from user to some external medium data, confirm that the backup is valid, and then delete the files from the current hard drive. Then make an image of system of what's left (which is now less than 128 GB) and restore that image on the SSD. You create a new user profile and then copy your files from backup data on disk 1 to and link to your user profile in the user data (see tip below).
Another alternative, especially if you have more than 128 GB used even without your data, is to do a clean Windows 7 on SSD install, reinstall all your application files, specifying as much as possible of the facilities is located on the 1 TB drive and your profile link to the data of the user on the 1 TB drive.
This trick of sevenforums.com can help with the problem of having windows on the SSD and your data on the disk rotation:
If you are simply wanting to save files HARD disk space in your user folders, you might consider this below in order to access the files in your library with the actually located files where you want to place. This way you won't have to worry about the potential problems that come with mobile user folder locations.
- Create a new folder to any location you want.
- Move all the files you want in the new folder.
- Include the new folder in a library of your choice.
- If you wish, you can also set the new folder to be default 'save' for the location for the library as well
To do a clean install of Windows 7 on your SSD, follow the instructions here to get a file ISO of Windows 7 to the same version of Windows 7 that is preinstalled on your computer: https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/67-microsoft-windows-and-office-iso-download-tool burn the image on a DVD (Note: you can not just copy the files, use the built-in tool to burn dvd of Windows 7 or free third-party tool like ImgBurn). Use the product key from the label on your computer (not the key retrieved by using a key finder program) to activate Windows. See https://techingiteasy.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/how-to-activate-windows-7-oem-license-using-a-retail-disc/
If this all sounds complicated - it is, and I haven't provided all the details - you can consider getting the help of a local independent computer repair shop (not a chain of stores). Just make sure you get a real installation of Windows 7.

Hi, yesterday I bought a new SSD and installed in my office because I wanted to replace my old HDD. I cloned my main drive (HARD drive) that contains my operating system in the new SSD successfully. Everything works fine, but I've seen a watermark on my wallpaper near the clock (on the side of the lower right of the desktop) with the following message:
"Windows 8.1 Build 9600 Pro with Media Center.
I searched on google and I found that build 9600 a do something with Windows activation, but I do not know why because I already unplugged the HARD drive and I'm not using it in any other computer. Then I went into control panel of-> system and I noticed that in the part that says that the Activation Windows message "Windows is not activated" and on the right side, there is a link that says "activate Windows". I have not to click the link again because I first want some suggestions to solve this problem. Can someone help me with this?

New hard drive and cloning Windows asking for the password and end the session
Hi all
Need help please. I just bought a Cavior of WD 1 TB hard drive. I have used Norton Ghost to clone my old hard drive again. Then I removed the old hard drive and another to start the system. Currently, Windows XP was asked to enter the password (in my old drive hard, there is no password entry required). When I press ENTER, the windows log.
Also, I tried to log in after you have set a password using ERD Commander (locksmith). I get the same result, that is to say Windows log off after entering the password.
I am at a loss on how to proceed from here. I do not have the CD Windows XP that I bought this computer a few years and did not remember receiving the Windows XP CD. I don't have the product key which is glued on the computer case.
Help, please. I have to activate Windows again?
Ghost allows you to create a backup "Image", and then restore the image to the new disk.
Never be afraid to ask. This forum has some of the best people in the world to help.

Can I move windows 7 (and only windows 7) for a different SSD?
I have a 2 TB hard drive and a 64 GB SSD.
I've used windows 10 TP and I think, I remember seeing a program "changing the original disk", or something similar.
This will be possible with windows 10?
I want to do this in a simple way, because there are important files on my computer more and in a way that has NO risk.
Can I move windows 7 (and only windows 7) for a different SSD?
-> Yes, you can. I did it myself.
I've used windows 10 TP and I think, I remember seeing a program "changing the original disk", or something similar. This will be possible with windows 10?
-> You need to ask the experts in forum Windows 10.
I want to do this in a simple way, because there are important files on my computer more and in a way that has NO risk.
-> It sounds like you do not take the normal precautions. It would be composed of:
-(P. ex. hebdomadaires) regular backups of your important files on an external device.
-A current back-up of all data files, email files, browser etc. Favorites.
-A readability belongs to some of these files, run on a different machine.
-A recent picture of your installation, stored on one drive that is external and tested on another machine.
It is the only way to get a safe operation. If you used to skip regular backups, it is only a matter of time until what you face a major disaster.

However although the original SSD always starts the Zbook, I can't boot from the clone SSD. According to me, the bios must change, but I'm not totally sure what I should do. Help, please.

Hello
I think that you need to fix the MBR. It can be done by a Windows 7 install disc or DOS environment with orders bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot and then.
Unetbootin is a good utility to do too much.

Portege Z930 - need of external controller for SSD drive internal
My Board TOSHIBA Portege (ex-portable) (Z930) burned with hot water. I removed the small SSD and now need to transfer the data with a USB drive on another PC.
I borrowed from a friend a SATA USB adapter with 2 interfaces and even small connectors for SATA was not small enough for SSD from TOSHIBA. Apparently, I need a special SATA USB adapter that installs on TOSHIBA Portege mSata.
The reason why I wrote here is because there are many SATA USB adapters in internet advertised, but it seems that they have larger connectors. While TOSHIBA calls the marked thereon mSATA SSD, but several people call mSATA for one size larger SSD.
I don't want to order that something does not again. Is there someone who already removed SSD Portege?
Could you give me a link for such adapter?The laptop was equipped with a chip HM77 Intel Panther Point and with the launch of the Intel chip allowed laptop manufacturers to integrate SSD form factor mSATA (micro SATA).
There is also a difference between the mSATA form factors
The mSATA being limited to four chips (NAND) only, Intel has developed a new standard mSATA called m2 or mSATA2.In many cases, this is also called NGFF (new generation form factor)
This standard m2 is longer and has more low a profileI'm not sure if this Z930 Portege supports mSATA or mSATA2, but you check the internal SSD drive where this information should be available
