• Y580: OS install on new mSATA SSD disk HARD + mSATA SSD config

  Hi guys,.

  I was wondering if anyone has done this? I have the 1 TB HDD + 32 GB mSATA config, but I want to install a new mSATA SSD possibly of 128 or 256 for my operating system and applications. I heard there was a problem with the removal of partitions due to Lenovo Rapid Storage. Has anyone successfully circumvented this?

  I guess that separate readers via these instructions http://78.9.150.202/pub/RapidDrive.pdf
  then saving them, putting in the mSATA SSD again and do a clean install should work.

• Fresh install of Windows 7 on Portege Z830-10R with new mSata SSD

  I have Toshiba Portege Z830-10r and you want to reinstall Windows 7 costs on mSata new SSD.

  The problem is, * Windows does not recognize the device and wants additional drivers.*

  The 120 GB SSD Kingston is visible in the BIOS, updated automatically in AHCI mode (no option to change).
  How to fix?

  > The 120 GB SSD Kingston is seen in the BIOS.
  Where did you see the SSD in BIOS?
  If it is stated on the first page of the BIOS, including the name of readers and other details such as the size of the SSD?
  If the SSD drive is recognized properly, there must be another question, why the system requires drivers.

  I m wondering what camera you used to install Windows 7.
  Boot you from external CD/DVD USB drive or did you use the USB flash memory key to install the Win 7 OS?

  The point why I m asking is one of the key flash memory forum members used USB to reinstall the Win 7 OS on the same model of laptop, and it was not possible because the USB flash memory stick has been connected to the USB 3.0 port.

  In case you have also connected the device to the USB 3.0, please try other * USB 2.0 port reinstall the system!

• mSATA SSD installed in Inspiron 15r SE 7520

  Hello

  I just finished the task of replacing marathon 32 GB SSD with a 240 GB mSATA we.

  I cloned my existing hard drive with Macrium reflect, and his beautiful fixed so far.

  I have a few questions tho.

  (1) the original 1 TB HARD drive and the new mSATA SSD have additional partitions hidden. There is a 500 MB EFI system partition, a 40 MB OEM partition, a recovery 490 MB, drive C partition (on the SSD and renamed E disk the disk of 1 TB) and a final recovery 12.16 GB partition.

  Can I remove the additional partitions since the original 1 TB drive? Do I need them on the new SSD more?

  (2) Intel rpaid start continuous technology to Flash a warning that he is not running. I've turned off to allow the DSS work. Then I uninstalled it. I get the warning tho. Any way I can get rid of him?

  Thank you!

  Ok thank you.

  If the million dollar question: how to do a fresh install of windows 8, or even windows 7 if it is easier, on the mSATA SSD?

  I tried from the DELL restore USB I did. No luck. Put the original image on 931 GB HARD drive.

  If all goes well a new facility can sort, which brings back me to the issue of the $ 1 million!

  EDIT:

  Think I've sorted it. I used macrium reflect to remove all hidden from the original HARD disk partitions. I changed the BIOS to boot from the mSATA SSD first, using UEFI and start-up.

  I uninstalled quick start windows 8 search engine. Everything looks good today.

• HP Envy 14 A9P67UA spectrum #ABA: Add (or replace) mSATA SSD to the HP Envy 14 spectrum w/windows 10... possible? Worth the risk?

  Hi all!

  So, I read in this forum on this subject and have seen mixed results.  I bought this computer a few years ago, generally pretty happy with it but I ran out of space and the battery is dying.  I am trying to decide whether to revise it or buy new.   That's what I want to do:

  Add 2nd mSATA SSD in the second slot.  I saw a post like this HD is compatible but that's a post.  Around, I've read that others have had problems by adding a second SSD.  Some people can not access, some people, it shows only a 128 GB extra, in fact, some have a BSOD.   The post I saw replaced the original disc to help one of them and adding a second drive so the two HDs were of the same brand.  Is it a better idea?  Also, all the posts I've seen on this topic were two years old and dealt with Windows 7.  Windows 10 it will make it harder to do?

  http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-850-mSATA-2-inch-MZ-M5E1T0BW/DP/B00TGIVRYU?ie=UTF8&PSC=1&redirect=true...

  If not I can try and use the same car with the model came in the second slot to help in possible compatibility issues, but I would be limited to a 128 GB extra (or possibly 256?).

  I have also upgraded the memory of 8 GB and add a new battery.

  Reflections on what is successful? I wouldn't waste money on these parts if this is going to work.  Thank you!

  Hi @cdmdds,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand from your posts that you are having a problem with your Notebook SPECTRUM HP ENVY 14 - 3010NR and needing some updates. This system supports 8 GB (8192 × 1) of the maximum of memory RAM and 256 GB (128 GB × 2) Page 34 of the repair. The battery information on page 32.

  This would be due to the limit with the processor.

  Please let me know if this information helps you solve the problem by marking this post as accept as Solution, this will help others easily find the information they seek.

  Thank you.

• 1 TB hard to go OEM Windows 8 msata SSD 64 GB

  I bought a computer preloaded with OEM Windows 8 installed on the hard disk of 1 TB of spinning.

  Then I bought a 64 GB of msata SSD drive to put the windows partition on (given that Lenovo has no drivers for the quick drive it is to windows 8 again).

  Then, I bought the pro upgrade windows (more for the .iso image file and then nothing).

  Problem is that windows restore/update does not give you an option to move the windows partition and when I try to reinstall windows from the .iso upgrade trying to read the product key off the coast of the bios (which isn't good for lenovo recovery) and fails.

  I even entered the product key in the installation prompt in windows before restarting Setup but always comes back with something to the effect of "product key entered does not match any image on disk", which is correct if reading from the bios, but it will not give me an option to a different key.

  Is there a more advanced option of reinstalling windows 8 on another drive?

  I tried to use the option of control panel disk management to shrink the C: partition, it does so had to use Easeus.

  I then tried using the Windows 8.1 image upwards. He would backup but not restore to the new disk, even if the new drive is larger. Used the Win8.1 CD and went into recovery mode / advanced.

  Easeus to clone again SSD.

  If Easeus (the free version release for consumption) has worked well, used to reduce the original score (up to 110 G with 80 GB of data), and then used Easeus to clone for the new (240 GB) SSD.

  My system is UEFI and GPT. It starts without the need to reinstall anything.

  At the start, I hit F12 and selected the new UEFI SSD as a boot device, so I didn't need to unplug the old disk

• Adding an mSATA SSD to a Y580 ideapad

  My original HD goes wrong so I decided to buy a new HD and an mSATA SSD. I have read several forums and watched videos more then I would have liked and I do not always find everything that can guide me through this. I want my mSATA be configured as on my original HD with a partition C: and D: and it be able to run the recovery of one button and everything that the original HD was able to do. So I want the replacement HD drive to be just for storage. My computer did not come with an mSATA initially. It has the Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology, but I can't find RapidTool.exe that some forums say is necessary.

  So I ended up making just a restore factory disk and used on the mSATA and it did everything I wanted except make a D: drive but all the features work so far and I don't see anything wrong. Now for the disk drive do I just plug n play or what I need to do something more?

• Maximum size of mSATA SSD in ideapad Y580

  Hi all

  What is the maximum size of mSATA SSD that is supported by Y580 ideapad?

  125 or 256 GB?

  What?

  Thanks in advance.

  Welcome to the community!

  I don't think that there is no constraint of size on the mSATA connection in your pc. the only constraints are the sizes of SSD and your wallet.

  I have not seen a larger than 256 GB yet and that's what I have in one of my machines. very happy with it.

  Cheers.

• Slowered Windows experience graphics Index after adding msata SSD on 13 of Yoga

  Windows experience Index graphics and graphics of games lowered after the addition of extra msata SSD on 13 of Yoga. Before the update I added RAM and which increased my experience of them I added msata SSD 256 GB for my Yoga 13 and then my graphics lowered from 5.1 to 4.7 and memory Index and graphics of games reduced from 6.3 to 6.2 and disc main hard went from 7.8 to 7.7.

  I didn't know that adding additional disk msata influence graphics performance. Please let me know if you think anything that might have caused this decline.

• New model: HP Envy 15 t Upgrade HD SSD or mSATA SSD?

  Hi all

  I read several threads on the upgrade of the disk for SSD and it seems that everyone else has managed to do.  My question is, is there an advantage to upgrade to an SSD HARD drive or simply add in mSATA SSD?  I currently have a network drive that contains most of my data such as music, photos and videos, so I don't think that I need more capacity on my hard drive.  That being said, I had planned on buying an SSD of 256 / 240GB, it's just a question of which one get? a regular SSD or mSATA SSD?  Thoughts?  Comments?  Concerns?

  Mike Lee

  on a side note: I envy 15 new t... I really wish that they would have changed the name of the template to something completely different because the prefix is the same as their old model... stupid...

  Get a 2.5 inch SATA SSD ordinary. Very slightly slower than a WSSD but still much faster than anything else. Try to configure the WSSD as boot drive is a huge problem.

• I want to install a second hard drive in my laptop (mSata SSD), so do I create a system dual boot with the same license Windows on each disc.

  Original title: Dual Boot Laptop

  I want to install a second hard drive in my laptop (mSata SSD), I have two programs to install that "do not receive the", so I can create a system dual boot with the same license Windows on each disc. I can run only one at a time, and it's the same pc/laptop.

  No, you can't, a second facility would be like installing on a second computer, you will need to purchase a second license.

• Problem with transfer/install Windows to new SSD 64 GB instead of 1 TB HARD drive

  Hello everyone!  I know that I am not alone with this problem, but until now no effective don't advise have been seen or given!

  Please help get 1 TB of HARD drive for the 64 GB SSD in my Alienware m17 r4!

  Alienware Respawn program is NOT able to cope with this transfer... He said that there is no enough space, must be original 1 TB drive...

  Also, it is strictly recommended that new windows should be installed SSD not transferred again, but how do I do it?

  with the new system UEFI/BIOS it is looks too difficult for me... There is no installation of Alienware Microsoft Windows 8 Disk in the package comes...
  If I can get it? And then, he of course it will work correctly in the UEFI system

  Have tryied: MINI TOOL PARTITION WIZARD, it shows all containing (5 partitions) completely has been copied from 1 TB of disk and mounted on the SSD 64 GB

  but when I put the SSD in the laptop, he says is that some sort of error and the system must be reinstalled.  CD of Acronis not picked up at all with boot...

  Finally, it will be normal Windows 8 installation CD compatiable with UEFI, or it must be special for this system? (average if I leave and through her to the shop)

  Is any body can help?

  Thank you in advance in this area!

  The license of Windows 8, my understanding, is the UEFI. So I recommend that you ask the disc from Dell.

• How to install Windows from the recovery in mSATA SSD partition?

  Hi all

  I intend to install mSATA SSD on my ThinkPad E420 soon. My laptop comes with the recovery partition in the hard drive. How to install Windows on the SSD drive?

  I am familiar with the WIndows installation of optical media, but never to the recovery partition (which I assume where is the installer of Windows).

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards

  Haris

  Hello

  Sorry, I have no idea on how to install directly from a separate to another drive, but you may want to check this . You will need 1 CD (start) and a 4.7 GB DVD (data) because Lenovo recovery adds all this bloatware in factory settings.

  That said, if you want a clean install, use the Windows disk (in case you do not have the same edition, you can download it legally from the net, google it) and your OEM key for activation.

• Order a new X 220 (you want to use mSata SSD)

  I'll order a X 220 and I was wondering if the view Type options (antenna) or the WiFi options integrated importance in my ability to add an mSata card?

  I want the i7 processor, premium best screen Wifi which will allow me to use a card mSata.

  Thank you

  No, the only thing that would limit you to use mSATA SSD if you order a card WWAN (3 G internet cell), because it uses the same location.

• 2720 XPS does not start after replacing mSATA SSD 32 GB

  Hello

  I replaced the mSATA SSD 32 GB on my 2720 XPS with a Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD.

  When I go into the BIOS, I see the new drive mSATA.

  But when I try to start, I get the error "no boot device."

  I have not changed the settings in my BIOS after permutation of the SSD but I noticed that my first boot device is now internal hard drive instead of Windows boot device, or something in front.

  Any ideas? I tried not to put the 32 GB SSD back in again to see if it boots always.

  Thanks in advance.

  So, I called Microsoft and basically got told that, because I did a clean install on a separate disk that Windows was originally installed, they are unable to help me. I'll have to do a fresh install of Windows 8.1 on my SSD and then upgrade to Windows 10 from there.

  He mentions this particular fact nowhere on their website that provides the media tool!

  And the fact that the Dell rep, I spoke of na not know that particular nugget and asked me to do a clean install on the new disk did not help at all.

  Now I have to wait for Dell to send me a CD of Windows 8 so that I can install on my SSD and update from there.

  Beware if you are already on Windows 10 and planning to install it on a new drive!
