Envy 17 model 17-j102ea SSD Boot question, Legacy Support, BIOS

Hi, first post ever and excuse if this has been covered - if so, please me directly to pertinent information.

Bought an Envy 17-j102ea...

Hardware problems I would like help / advice for, please:

Legacy support / boot from USB Flash Stick:
Tried to install Windows 8 via a USB bootable work has confirmed...
The laptop does not detect except Legacy Support is turned on...
Once Windows is installed on drive (1 TB 5400 original disc), if I turn OFF then Legacy Support again (as DEFAULT) it starts not from the installed windows now HDD - only when I put Legacy Support back on will it boot.
Can someone please explain / advise?

Question SSD:
Try to use a 240GB vertex 3 SSD Drive...
Computer laptop wont recognize it- whether it is in Legacy Support mode...
I've seen a few posts on the compatibility and 240 GB not supported...
It's for real?

BIOS:
This is a complaint, I want something on this topic, please...
REALLY.
Why so basic bios options?
Why can't have two readers in the laptop and choose which start from the first that is alternate between discs easily when I choose?
For a decent computer ", a poor quality BIOS, it disappoints BIG TIME.
It should be fairly easy for programmers to HP create a GUI BIOS updated with the best options.

* I'm a student in computer SCIENCE and make a clean installation on this laptop with no product key, SSD and a very basic BIOS incompatibility sticker, I find it a little boring, and it takes a lot of my time...

Looking forward to some useful answers.
Thank you in advance.

Oh, I didn't know you meant that.

Update:

I bought 8.1 Pro student - implemented on a USB stick (the same Corsair Voyager one) - activated UEFI mode...

It set up perfectly om the 240 GB agility SSD 3!

On the F9 boot menu option it acknowledged even the USB as UEFI.

Very happy now :))

BUT, can you please help me with something else?

I put the 1 TB HDD in BAY2 5400 original, and it is not recognized at all.

Any suggestions?

So, thank you for your help miuch. : )

... LAST UPDATED:

After rebooting the system TWO it recognizes the 1 TB drive! : )

Thanks again for your help.

You have been great, and I learned a lot on the way :)

Best wishes...

  • Desktop HP ENVY Phoenix 860VX: how to replace ssd boot drive in a desktop HP ENVY Phoenix 860VX?

    I bought a desktop computer HP ENVY Phoenix 860VX with an SSD of 256 GB of disk as a boot disk with a disk of 1 TB storage.  I have a Samsung Evo Pro 500 GB SSD I want to use as the startup disk.  I cloned the original drive to the Samsung Evo without problem.  I opened the PC folder to move hard disks, and I can't find the SSD drive.  I found the pretty easy storage of 1 TB drive but cannot find the SSD drive.  Can anyone help?

    Greetings,

    You can have a PCIe M.2 (Non - SED) Solid State Drive 256Go.

    This drive connects to the motherboard, it's the size of a stick of gum.

    It can be mounted vertically or stand flat on the motherboard (MB).

    M2 the drive is much faster than an SATA 3 SSD.  You may not be happy with this change if you bought a SATA 3 SSD. You might be better off going to a 512 GB m2 if the MB supports. I noticed that the m2 drive runs closer to the rated speed when using a k i7 - 5930 or an i7-5960 x due to the track of 40 PCIe bus as opposed to 28 tracks on the i7-5820 k.

    It should be close to the PCIe slots. ASRock, Asus and Gigabyte locate M.2 slots here as it connects with the bus PCIe x 16 and uses the bandwidth of one of the 16 slots x.

    If this is true, install the SATA SSD in the available Bay HHD using an adapter 2.5 inches. Then change the default boot device in the BIOS for the SATA SSD. You may need to experiment on what SATA port you use. EFI can be finicky. It is also possible that you may have to reinstall the original image. I have an Asrock x 99 card in m.2. Asrock BIOS is much more forgiving and configurable. I'm not familiar with MB of your PC or the boot configuration options available during the passage of a m2 boot device to a boot SATA device.

    This change of equipment could also ruin to restore the PC using the original image. It depends on whether this change of equipment is a configurable option to purchase.

    See you soon!

    Envy 17 N 001TX HARD + SSD drive

    Product number: M9V44PA

    The laptop has already 2TD HDD.

    Can I add an SSD to this topic?

    Yes. On this model the M.2 slot is present on models with an i7 and a graphics chip dedicated according to the maintenance manual.

    Manual

    See page 2

    However, the manual is very vague as to the location and access to the m2 slot.

    Others have posted pictures and it seems that the manual does not and you don't need to remove and return on the motherboard for access. The location is right above the drive Bay hard see p. 35.

    So you can add a module to the WSSD m2 for your laptop, sometimes called a hard "gumstick" disc

  • Replace the HDD with SSD boot disk and use the disk HARD now as secondary storage

    I would like to replace my dv7 - 6143cl HDD with a SSD boot drive and using the OEM HARD drive as secondary storage.

    I have the SSD and the caddy

    I need to:

    delete the original OEM HD

    Install the SSD

    install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

    Install Win 7 (I don't have install disks - what is on the HARD drive in his backup partition)

    or I have to

    delete this HD

    Install the SSD

    go into the BIOS, and then assign him drive in AHCI (etc.)

    Install Win 7

    install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

    etc.

    I want to dual-boot, if possible, but I think that the second HD (start-up disk) does not start, even if I change the settings in the BIOS

    is this true?

    Hello:

    Your BIOS is set to AHCI (or RAID) by default. It cannot be changed.  Look in your device manager and in the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section, look to see if there is a controller SATA ACHI he.

    If so, you have an AHCI BIOS default.

    If you go further down the line in Device Manager and see a section of storage controllers, click on that, you would see a SATA RAID controller and your BIOS is set to default RAID.

    I don't have your model laptop so I don't know if HP has implemented some models double disk RAID or AHCI.

    So... First, copy your original C:\ drive SWSetup folder and save that to a portable hard drive. That must contain all the files installation for the drivers and the software provided with your PC. You can search this folder for programs that you may want to reinstall after your new SSD drive HARD primary.

    To install W7 on your SSD, check your own install of W7 disc.  Here's how:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

    Hello. I just bought this laptop and I search google, I noticed, it has an inland port of m2 next to the HARD disk, and in this official HP manual , he mentions M.2 SSS support, but not for this specific model.

    How can I check the compatibility? (especially with the BIOS). It would be great if I could add an SSD without losing the 1 TB hard drive.

  • Intel Rapid Start on single SSD (boot EUFI) technology

    Hi all

    I bought a new Dell Vostro 3360, Core i5, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, BIOS (A11) before Christmas.

    Was working fine and then failed to start. 2 days on the hotline, in the end the old motherboard (BIOS A11) has been replaced under warranty that it was not possible to boot from USB, wouldn't boot from SSD, no optical drive, the BIOS could not be flashed etc.

    However since the new motherboard (A12) quick start Intel exhibited the following behaviors:

    1. TSRI timer set to 1 minute. The documents left open on the screen.
    2. On the lid close / sleep, the system goes into S3 state with power light pulsed.
    3. After waiting for 1 min, the hard drive turns on, apparently wrote the current session of the RAM to 'Hibernate' SSD partition.
    4. All the power lights turn off, the system now seems to be in S4.
    5. By pressing the power button, power light comes on briefly (approx. 1 second) and then all the lights went off and system does not start.
    6. Pressing power button a second time the system will be 'cold' start, IE no recovery from sleep mode. Back on the desktop all open documents are closed. And by examining the log of events says:
    1. Critical - error ID 41 - "the system has rebooted without stop properly first. "This error can be caused if the system unresponsive, crashed or unexpected power loss.
    • The foregoing seems to demonstrate that in step 4, when the power to the RAM is cut, the session is lost, is that it is not successfully get written in the score or if this is the case, then it will fail to return the RAM to step 5.
    • For the record, "Quick start" Disabling Windows makes no difference.
    • Via high cmd powercfg-h off to turn off put into hibernation in Windows, makes no difference.

    So in the current like State left by the Dell, system technician otherwise manually shutdown and allowed to sleep will lose your open work / have not been saved.

    1. I've updated the BIOS with the latest "A13" with no improvement.
    2. I deleted then recreated the volume of 8192 MB with DISKPART according to - http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kcs/document?c=us&cs=19&docid=545794&doclang=en&l=en&s=dhs

    Except that for a start of Win8 EUFI using a GPT disk, the ID VALUE must be SET ID = D3BFE2DE-3DAF-11DF-BA40-E3A556D89593.

    The VALUE ID = 84 OVERRIDE does not work on this kind of disc.

    I also then reinstalled the last configuration QuickStart of Dell - 2.1.0.1002, A00 (23/10/2012)

    3. the partition above appear to be "accepted" by TSRI, as the definition of ID above, TSRI disappears from BIOS unless and errors during the execution of the FIRST installation program.

    4. If I am not above, TSRI is not visible in the BIOS and I get the message "Quick start is not enabled" to start the desktop. In this scenario the sys remains indefinitely in S3.

    I spent another 2 days on the phone with the Support of Dell, and their ultimate solution is replace the motherboard again.

    I would like to know if it doesn't matter what other avenues / options to restore the Intel Quick start technology.

    Kind regards
    Graham

    PS apologies if this should be in the thread "Laptops" rather than "hard disks"?

    Technician Dell came today and replaced the motherboard.

    This solves the problem with Intel Rapid Start - to my surprise.

    No configuration changes of the software were made, unaltered hibernation partition etc.

    Then only the conclusion I can draw is that it was a hardware problem.

  • setting up a dual boot and storage of BIOS options

    I have a HP with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit xw4600 workstation. He resides in the SATA location 0.
    I have a separate hard drive Linux Mint 17.1 installed. He resides in slot SATA 3.
    I want to set up a dual-boot option to start Windows or Linux.
    In the BIOS under storage... Storage options must be set to RAID or AHCI? (I don't want a backup RAID configuration. I have cloned my hard drive to another hard drive in the SATA 2 connector, the DVD burner is in the SATA 1 connector).

    It seems that the computer will boot only from the hard drive to the SATA location 0.
    If I disconnect the hard drive to the SATAS location 0 which has Windows 7, I get an error in the message of wiring.
    If I use the boot F9 option, my choice is the hard drive, but I can't specify which.
    I can't find anywhere to change the HDD boot order in the BIOS.
    Any help will be apprecaited because I want to avoid opening the case and cables around switching.

    The HP xw workstations want to start only on the capture of port 0 on the motherboard SATA (often a blue color, while the others are brown dark/black).  Here is a post on how we worked around the need to have more of a boot drive, down to the low point, the photo shows the receiver in place with a carrier on the inside, and 3 many carriers are here to see you, too.

    This way you can have a single SATA cable go from that device to the SATA port 0 and boot from any operating system you like.  We now use only SSD for our startup discs, and the device fits perfectly into the floppy to the front of the box Bay area.  Do not stop going from one to the other SSDS.  I timed the move... 66 seconds to choose stop to W8.1 to get the Welcome screen W7 and vice versa on workstation xw4600 both xw6400/6600 (with BIOS optimized for faster startup).

    Apparently, there's some expensive SATA switches that allow to move from one entry to another entry and have only 1 output to the SATA port 0, but this approach has been working great for about 2 years now for us.  New versions of this device accept SATA cable lock, but my cables without locking of Foxconn HP were now firmly as well.

    There are similar devices for disks 3.5 "that HP had sold in the past.  Another advantage is that you can have two boot disks, both running on W7Pro, for example, and use the same certificate of authenticity.  One for the House stuff; one for the stuff of the company, for you home office people who want to keep things separate.
