Envy dv7t-7200: SSD upgrade in 2nd slot on HP Envy dv7t-7200. Cannot find or run the Bios

So I added recently internal a second drive in my HP Envy dv7t-7200 because she had a second slot. The first was a 1 TB HARD drive and what I added is a compatible 500 GB SSD from Crucial. At startup, the SSD was not recognized as I can't find anywhere in my computer to use. Also, I tried to go into the BIOS to see if the second part of the motherboard to the drive 2nd spot has been activated but now the computer starts too fast and I can't enter the BIOS. Given that nothing is installed on disk 2, I have no idea why the computer starts much faster. Would it be due a QuickLaunch for the BIOS update can I have recently installed? If so, how to uninstall that?

I also wanted to just insisted on my laptop as possible and that's why I decided to upgrade, any help would be greatly appreciated.

A new empty ssd drive will not be displayed in my computer (PC), until the disk is initialized and formatted. Right-click on computer and choose manage... disk management and see if there is a new blank disc. If so create a new volume in it (partition) then format then assign a drive letter.

You want to have the OS on the SSD and have it in the main location as only a car in this slot is bootable. You lose the speed of the SSD in the second location for pure storage. As hanging Secretariat up to a plow.

    Hello

    I have a HP DV7 7332ea want. I recently put a San Disk Extreme 2 120 GB SSD as drive and put the HARD drive in the Bay secondary. I installed Win 8.1 clean and everything works well. I then worked my through the various settings required in the operating system for one SSD maximize its usefulness as travel page file on the HARD drive, deleting hibernation, switching to restore in Control Panel and the last was to change registry settings to activate the DIANE and select it in the bios. However, the "F2" for this model Envy Bios has no option for IDE or DIANE. What this means and am I actually losing any ability to form my SSD if DIANE is not enabled?

    Hello:

    The contoller drive in your model can be set to RAID and that cannot be changed.

    You can check that the speed control is set to RAID if you go to Device Manager and see a category of storage controllers.

    Click to expand this category and you will see a controller RAID SATA Intel that are listed there.

    As long as you have installed the driver Intel RST that you'll TRIM full support for your SSD in RAID mode and you should ignore all the warnings on the drive doesn't work is not in AHCI mode.

    Take a look at this thread for more info...

  • HP Envy 15 Touchsmart does not start after the bios update

    I had one laptop touchsmart from HP Envy 15 (initially Windows 8, windows 8.1 now) for about 2 months now and have not had any problems, until a few hours ago I tried to update the bios of my laptop with the hp support assistant. After the reboot, the pc is more would start up and took me to a blue screen with the error SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. Everything that I've done short far from a refreshment or a reset has not worked and if I could I would avoid both that I don't have the bandwidth to download windows 8.1 again.

    HI Calsius:

    Thank you for your query.  I will be happy to help in any way I can!

    After the Windows 8.1 update, did you create a restore point?  If so, you can use to restore from that date and not lose your 8.1 updated.  Some BIOS have an option for a restoration which should not affect your operating system.  I did a search of Microsoft and found this answer click here.   Here is a document on the ' update the BIOS'   click here.»  You did not provide your model number and the HP Envy 15, is a series, so I couldn't get a specific documentation for your computer.  Here is a document on ' computer will start (Windows 8) " click here. If you are able to get your computer running and upward I update all the driversand then create a restore point to return if necessary.  If the Bios update should fail a 2nd time, your restore point will take back you to just before you retried the update. If you were to use the recovery option you need go back to Windows 8, or back to the factory.

    Please let me know if this helped.

  • HP ENVY 23 23 - d160qd: how to enter the bios on a touch screen and wireless keyboard

    I had a HARD drive crash and cannot enter the bios as the machine has wireless keyboard and touch screen. The power led lights up red on Board of the touchscreen lights on / off power, hard drive works, reader lights turned on and off. The USB ports seem to work and I have a light on my USB to RS232 device.  I did pulg a USB keyboard and hit the F10 key at startup and still no change. Make a bootable disc after Microsofts statement and it seems wook, but with a screen can't confirm that.

    I need to enter the bios to set up to boot from the usb port and I need to deal with this rear screen too. all cables, I can see are connected and a new hard drive and the hard drive are not load anything down that I can see.

    @Dan45L

    I'm glad to hear that it is resolved. I was checking regularly after your last post to see if there was an update. I got the impression you were in your previous messages set motherboard.

    Of course, I know what you mean about how things are. Many things change in one form or another, but the basics of troubleshooting are fairly constant. Eliminate the possibilities and drill down to the cause.

  • Re: Palm profile is broken? I've upgraded to version 1.2 and have no contact, cannot log on to the Profile Manager?

    I woke up this morring and my phon said he is no longer connect to my profile.  I have reset it like a donkey all I get is

    Disconnected

    You are no longer connected to your palm on this phone profile.

    If you plan to use this phone once again, you can leave the files onb your USB intact.

    If you are finished with this phone, you can erase all your data on the phone and go back to its default value of the plant.

    Key 1: Just restart

    Button 2:Erase all data.

    I tried to restart break in time.  I even called sprint that was like always a waste of time, I have 1 phone and I need to use it today, all day.

    Thank you Palm to dislodge from my phone!

    I found myself stuck in this loop infinite too but I managed to get out my way!

    It worked for me, but your mileage may vary

    Phone must be rooted - I did it with the USB cable

    #1 root your way in

    #2 Invoke sqlite: (I don't know if the db file may be different, but it will be in this directory)

    SQLite3 /var/palm/data/file_.usr.palm.applications.com.palm.app.firstuse_0/0000000000000003.db

    update set = 'false' properties, where name = 'isInvalidToken ';

    update set = 'language' properties, where name = "screenName";

    . Quit

    Leave linux prompt and reboot your phone

    Note: If you want to be ultra safe on this subject (as I was), after the order sqlite

    run-> select * Properties;

    Make a note of the values that you change

    before I updated mine looked like:

    55. No valid token | 2. 3. screenName. string
    55. true | 39. 40. isInvalidToken | Boolean

    Basically IE screenName = 'no valid-token' and isInvalidToken = 'true '.

    "no valid-token" is this ugly page that we constantly receive during startup.

    I'm not positive if isInvalidToken must be set, but I got it anyway.

  • Compaq Presario CQ5500Y: Compaq Presario SSD upgrade

    Original 500 GB drive HARD shows signs of failure eminent.

    I cloned successfully the reader to a new 400 GB disk using NORTON GHOST.

    (I know this drive is smaller than the original, but less than 30GB was used on the original)

    Anyway, the new drive would not start.

    Assuming that the problem may come from the BONES associated with the license, I ordered all of the Compaq recovery disks.

    Meanwhile the recovery disk set arrive, I bought a 120 GB Sandisk SSD.

    (Again, I know that the 120 GB SSD is smaller than the original 500 GB HARD disc that came with the computer, but I do not plan to fill even 50%).

    Anyway, The Recovery Disc Set arrived and I tried to use it on the new 120 GB SSD Sandisk card.

    The process seems to be okay, all 3 discs of the series seem to copy and then the computer restarts and a screen displaying the files fly across the screen from one folder to the other stays there forever.

    I waited 15 hours and came back and I can still see:

    Fly across the screen, files from one folder to another folder.

    The drive activity light flashes, but of course, there is a problem.

    Some possible facts/related information:

    The SSD is detected in the BIOS.

    The good SSD checks, a "Smart" BIOS Diagnostics

    I can't find anywhere in the BIOS to disable the AHCI, it only shows SATA or IDE.

    Current Bios version is 5.5.5, and I couldn't find an updated BIOS anywhere.

    Current memory (RAM) is 4 GB (2x2gb), which was an upgrade because the machine was purchased.

    Can someone tell me please how to get beyond this problem?

    I use the Paragon Professional Disk Imaging software.
