    Thanks in advance!

    For clean installation try to download Microsoft Media creation tool first. Using the tool, you can download a copy of the Win 8.1 installer. Save 8.1 only and not the PRO. During installation, the installation program does not the product key but it detect automatically your bios.

    You will need to place the ssd instead of the original location of the hard drive to boot successfully.

  • G4 1303 AU Pavilion: to replace my optical drive with ssd

    My laptop is too slow and an upgrade I had already increased my ram from 2 GB to 6 GB now since I've had a spair ssd. So, I think to remove my optical drive with an ssd. This upgrade is possible for my laptop. Also any other suggetions are necessary because it is fairly old laptop and I got some spair parts change.

    Don't you attach it to a SATA - I interface. It's fast enough for ordinary stuff and you can play a video or .mp3 her but it wouldn't be good for video editing, photoshop, etc. Better to slow down the mechanical transmission that isn't too fast anyway, but is cheap, as cheap and fast SSD. You want to give it a chance to work at its optimum speed that only happens if plug you it into the port SATA internal.

  • response of optical drive Dell Inspiron 3847 - to insert a CD

    My Dell Inspiron 3847 responded lately more slowly to insert a CD into the optical drive.  ("Reader DVD RW (E :) ("displays more slowly in the file Explorer after inserting a CD in the optical drive, and for CD splash screens are not displayed for several minutes.)

    Can someone tell what is normally the time interval after inserting a CD in the optical drive?

    It takes only a few seconds of when the drawer closes until the operating system recognizes and you can access the Conference on disarmament.  Did you run all the programs antivirus or antimalware software to check these things?  Missing updates from Windows Update?

  • internal hard drive for Inspiron 6000

    Someone has any suggestions where to find a replacement 60 DH GB or more compatible HD?

    The drive is parallel ATA - SATA not.  If you replace the drive with a larger than 120G, it MUST be parittioned and Windows must be installed UNDER the barrier of 120G.  If you install Windows on a partition that crosses or exceeds 120G barrier, you will one day put the chain on a disc read error and lose everything on the disc.

  • Re: Problem with optical drive with the Satellite C50D-A002

    I have a problem with my CD drive on my laptop. Whenever I insert a disc and it runs well, but it tends to really vibrate wrong, I checked the driver updates but none are currently and I checked for any damage but I see nothing.

    Have you tested with several different CDs or DVDs?
    Make sure that each media is placed in the right position.

  • CD/DVD drive on Inspiron 6000

    I think that my CD/DVD drive is dead... when I put a CD of reliable data in I don't hear a sound of spinning and I can't access all the files.

    I see the 'TSSTcorp CDRW/DVD TSL462C' driver in Device Manager.

    I tried to run the accessible diagnostic by pressing the F12 key during startup and tests data returns an error code 0F00:026 C, "there is no media present", even if I put a CD of valid data.

    Finally, I tried to check for a replacement CD drive on the Dell Web site and there is no internal CD listed for 6000 Insipiron disc.

    Are there any other diagnosis, I need to try?  Also, how can I get a replacement disk?

  • Star Wars h.e. 15-an000nl: optical drive Swap with a ssd will void the warranty?

    Hi all

    I am a proud new owner of this machine, and since it comes with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM and I am also a happy owner of an SSD, I was wondering if the optical drive with the ssd Exchange void my warranty?

    I read a little the other q / a and I see that if I try to reach the drive, with all the screws and the cover plastic to raise, I'll probably end by unsecured (actually is not very clear if it's for sure or I'll use a ssd tested non hp...) and since then to remove the optical drive , I just remove a screw, buy an adapter and you're good to go...

    So my question is: what limits should I beyond the warranty for you? It's just the opening action itself, or there is more?

    And since I write here, optical drive sata port is a sata3 as (I hope) the hard disk it is? Would you recommend this operation?

    Thanks in advance for any assistance received...

    The optical drive is an authorized user of replacement so you can put an SSD in an optical caddy and will not void the warranty but I do not recommend: 1. the interface is slower; and 2. You cannot start it. Unfortunately, access to the internal hard drive space is verboten and may void the warranty. We can speculate and say if it's done well, nobody would know and likely HP won't guarantee, but we can get official word on this, so the smartest thing is to assume the worst. If you don't care the guarantee and want just your laptop to be quick, we are happy to help you with the understanding that you risk the warranty.

    Yes you can. Here's the part you have to do with. Just remove the optical drive, add a hard disk in one of these adapters and replace it for the optical drive:

    https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

    You may also need to swap the façade of the old optical disc to make the installation of good look.

    I wouldn't use this for one SSD. An SSD belonged to the main disk space to enjoy the speed. The drive into the optical drive adapter will not be bootable and it will be not given quite as fast as the main hard drive transfer speeds. So if you have a drive in this card, a big (1 TB) and slow (5400 RPM) drive would be preferable. It will be purely for storage and it is still fast enough to see the video of for example but if you are doing video editing I would try not to edit videos from the optical drive Bay. Move them to the fastest reader first.

  • Would it not possible to replace my optical drive in my series Vaio E with a SSD

    I have an Vaio E series SVE14A27CXH. I was wondering if it would be possible to remove my optical drive and replace it with a SSD then put Windows 8 on the SSD to speed up boot time.

    mutiger16,

    It might be possible to replace the optical drive with an optical drive for SSD conversion kit, but I'm not sure that it starts from this Bay.  My estimate is that it can, but I can't guarantee it will work...

  • Optical drive for Satellite P10 554

    Hello!

    I need to replace the DVD burner for my SP10-554 (PSP10E-00NK5-GR model number). Which drives should I use?
    I don't have a DVD burner, a CD burner will do for everyday...

    Thanks for your replies!

    HI Martin,

    If you replace your CD player because of an error, then it is probably better to replace it with a similar model. This way you can be assured that it will be fully compatible.

    However, you can replace your optical drive with a variety of other brands as long that you choose one that is specifically for portable use. These are usually referred to as 'slim' or 'slimline '. You may find that some components, such as the collar do not exactly match your laptop.

    Drivers tend to be fairly generic Windows XP, but you may need to download additional drivers if you want to use DVD-RAM discs.

    Toshiba to adapt different brands in their notebooks (Mat * a, TEAC, Toshiba, etc) then you a reasonable range from which to choose.

    Try Googling for the appropriate players. Prices vary slightly.
