Exchanging the 500 GB HDD with a SSD 128 GB on a fancy m6 1101-so

Hello

I was trying to replace/change the 500 GB HDD with a 120 GB SSD installed on this laptop. My plan was to use the SSD as boot drive and the HARD 'normal' storage disk in a cradle of HARD drive in the optical drive Bay. But my problem is that during the backup of the disc at first, I did install, the installation leaves boot loop once the installation is finished and he wants to start windows for the first time.

All those who know what is my problem? At the beginning I had problems with even getting to the start screen, but I solved it with the boot and installation of windows with the BIOS in legacy mode.

Hope that there is a magician who could help me.

You cannot use recovery discs that you made from 500 GB HARD drive to restore a 120 GB drive in most cases.

You can clone the SSD HARD drive. (Note: total capacity used on the HARD disk must be less than the total size of SSD for cloning to work). Use Macrium reflect free cloning tool & SATA Adapter USB to connect the SSD for laptop by USB.

    Hi, I am a new consumer of HP and I would like to replace the HARD original with an SSD drive. The question is:

    Hello:

    Unfortunately, there is no redress related to the support page and the driver of your laptop, so I have no idea whether or not you can do the job yoursel without voiding the warranty.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-15-R200-notebook-PC-series/7486447/model/7835232/manuals

    I suppose the easy way to say would be that if your laptop is a service door Bay on the bottom of the PC, you should be able to replace the disk hard if you see after removing the cover of the service Bay.

    If it's a solid background and without visible access panels, so it would be a model where access the disk cannot be done by an authorized service center.

    There is a manual related to the series 15-r000.  It is the series of model closer to you to your model.

    According to the manual, it seems you need to take about the portable unit departed and arrived at practice.

  • Exchange the cast member 1 with cast member 2

    I need exchanging two Member of the cast, for example, the cast Member 1 with Member of distribution 2.
    How what I can do ?

    You can with the Clipboard

    for example

    on exchangemembers (mem1, mem2m, tmpmem)

    Member (MEM1). CopyToClipBoard()

    Member (tmpmem) .pasteClipBoardinto)

    Member (2). CopyToClipBoard()

    Member (MEM1) .pasteClipBoardinto)

    Member (tmpmem). CopyToClipBoard()

    Member (2) .pasteClipBoardinto)

    end

    But why. at runtime, it works, but it is not very fast and the changes are temporary ony.

    Why don't change you the members of the sprite? It is much faster

    Source language:

    Sprite (x) .mamber = member (A)

    exchanged:

    Sprite (x) .member = member (B)

  • Mix SAS HDD with SATA SSD's in RAID

    Hello

    On what level is this possible?

    Can I mix SATA and SAS disks on the controller RAID (PERC H710), group or virtual disk level? Server PowerEdge R720.

    I want to be is:

    PERC controller:

    -2 SAS HDD in RAID 1 connectors (for the operating system)

    -2 SATA SSD's in RAID 1 (logs)

    -HARD drive SAS 6 in RAID 10 (to the database)

    Whether in separate RAID groups?

    Can I combine SATA and SAS in a RAID group, virtual disk or only on the level of controller?

    All my drives won't be visible in Windows, if it is SATA or SAS?

    Thank you!

    Vellemannv,

    The configuration of the Perc controller you would be perfect. You can mix SAS and SATA drives on the controller, it can handle both. You have SAS bays and bays this SATA on the same controller. You can NOT have SAS and SATA disks present in the SAME table, however.

    The OS will see the different virtual drives as well.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • Is it a good idea to replace the 2.5 "HDD (with partition recovery inside) with a SSD?

    Hi all

    I have a ThinkPad E420 with the recovery partition in the HARD drive. I intend to sell the excessive 750 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive and replace it with a 120 GB SSD, because I need responsiveness instead of ability. Is this a good idea?

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards

    Lenovo: 'as sensor airbag, Active Protection System can detect sudden changes in motion and temporarily stop the hard drive to help protect your valuable data against certain accidents that might happen because of cell phone accidents every day."

    This tool is designed to protect not the mechanics of the SSDS. It would not apply in your case.

  • 27 "mid 2011 iMac drive solid state drive is dead and must be replaced. Is this easier to do than to to replace a HDD with a SSD? I hope I can do it myself.

    My 27 "mid 2011 iMac drive solid state drive is dead and must be replaced. The SSD originally came with the computer and not a subsequent update. I understand that a SSD replacing a HARD drive is quite complex, but would be more simple replacement of a dead with a new SSD SSD? I hope I could make myself.

    Even as the replacement of a HARD drive. However, go to OWC buy the connector of the special drive that has the necessary temperature control that is not part of the SSD, because it is for the stock of HARD drive.

  • Instructions for the replacement of 1 TB of HDD with Samsung EVO 1 TB SSD in XPS 15

    Can anyone recommend a set of instructions to replace the factory equipped 1 TB HDD with a SSD 1 TB in a XPS 15 (9530, model end 2013)?  I thought it might be a simple case of the SSD HARD drive cloning and exchanging players, but when I did it I got an error message at startup saying that I needed to make a repair - I na not to note the exact error, but he asked for the Windows installation disc.

    I don't really want to do a new install of Windows from scratch, unless absolutely necessary.

    Thanks a lot in anticipation!

    Hi Paulemm,

    You must use the Dell backup utility and restore to prepare a set of recovery disks. Those can then be used to load the operating system on the new drive. This is the best approach.

  • Guide: replace the HDD with SSD, Lenovo Y480

    Lenovo
    That's how I replaced my HDD with a SSD in my Lenovo Y480. I did it immediately, so there is no user file to consider. I used a key from Lenovo recovery. Read this guide in its entirety before starting.

    Execution time: about an hour.

    Items, you will need:

    -Y480 Lenovo

    -New SSD (I chose a Mushkin Chronos Deluxe because my research lead me to conclude that it is the best available from June 2012)

    -Small Phillips screwdriver

    -Butter knife or similar to remove the HARD drive. There is not much space for your fingers in there.

    -DVD-r blank

    Step 1

    Turn on the computer.

    Step 2

    Write the number '1' on a blank DVD-R and insert into the optical drive.

    Step 3

    Press the small button just to the right of the power button. This launches a recovery key.

    Step 4

    Follow the instructions on the screen to make restore disks. I chose the factory restore option, which required three DVD - Rs. label each disc with numbers to let you know in what order to use them later. Once it is finished, place back #1 DVD into the optical drive.

    Step 5

    Physically remove the hard drive and insert the SSD drive by following the instructions below.

    1. turn off and unplug your computer, flip upside down.
    2. remove the battery.
    3. remove the access panel by removing the two screws and slide.
    4. remove the two screws that hold the hard drive carrier.
    5 remove the hard drive by lifting upward. There is a right angle SATA adapter plugged into the hard drive. This card just came out with the hard drive.
    6 disconnect the hard drive adapter and plug it on the SSD.
    7 unscrew the hard drive bracket and screw it on the SSD.
    8 put the SSD drive in the Bay, screw the support down and replace the access panel. Be sure to screw it up.
    9. replace the battery, lock.

    Step 6

    If you did not already the first recovery DVD in the optical drive, use a paper clip to open the optical drive and insert the diskette. Close the drawer, then turn on the computer to start the restoration.

    Step 7

    Select the boot drive by pressing F12 when you see the Lenovo logo during startup, and then select the optical/DVD drive in the list.

    Step 8

    Follow the instructions on the screen. The first time that I did, restoration impossible immediately, probably because of a missing partition. However, after restarting the computer by performing a battery pull, then continue to step 6 restore completed successfully.

    I have not compared this drive, but I can tell you that the Windows experience index is 7.9 and startup time is 24 seconds now. The base index is 6.8 for this system now.

    You will find that Windows has already helped TRIM. However, regular defragmentattion was still on. I think that the system restore has been disabled automatically.

    Good luck

    Matt

    I saw no option for this, and I was quite surprised, that he didn't do it automatically. I'm not an expert on everything, so what follows is a guess.

    Perhaps that if you create a partition on the SSD first, recovery will recognize and use it.

  • 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?

    Thank you very much

    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.

  • Replace the HDD with SSD in 15-j171nr

    I want to do an Exchange standard by removing the 750 GB 5400 RPM SATA HDD and replace it with a 250 GB SSD. What I want to know is if I take out the HARD drive and 24 GB SSD cache, I may be able to upgrade with a 8 GB of additional ram, since I no longer have conflict with the hybrid hard drive?

    Yes No problem. You could indeed move to 16 GB of RAM, even with the current configuration. However, the powerful optimal configuration is an SSD in the location of primary SATA hard drive and no WSSD and 16 GB of RAM.
