• Z560 - replace the HDD with SSD - solved using OneKey Recovery

  Hey guys,.

  In a few days time Santa is put me an SSD, OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB.

  I think to clone the drive following this guide: http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-hdd-to-ssd-with-windows-7s-own-software and I'm a little confused on the partitions that are currently on the disk.

  I have:

  Local disk C: 552,55 gb,

  LENOVO 28.8 GB D:

  and a partition unassigned 14.75 GB.

  Does anyone know what contains the unassigned partition? I guess that's the One - Key recovery software? If this is the case, then I intend on deleting the D: Partition, which currently contains drivers, narrows the C:\ about 100 GB and cloning then the C:\ 100 GB and partition unassigned... will this work?

  Bravo guys!

  Hey guys,.

  I got my Vertex 3 today and it is ridiculously fast. Totally recommend it if you can afford it. Anyway, I discovered how do I reinstall my laptop, and I'm going to ask you now:

  (1) One Key Recovery Opened and clicked on 'create recovery disk', followed by 'default recovery drive '.

  (2) thought - sod it, I'll just stay in my new SSD and see what happens. Inserted, set the BIOS to boot from the DVD drive, and then install windows.

  (3) gain?

  In fact, I found myself with

  C:\ 96,84 GB

  Partion unnamed (14, 75 GB) - this is the area of a key recovery

  Unnamed (200 mb) - partition likely etc boot sector reserved by operating system - seen elsewhere on other systems and is quite normal!

  So yes, that happened on a NEW SSD building, which had not been formatted before - OneKey Recovery did everything by himself.

  I hope this helps people in the future!

  Merry Christmas!

• Silence X 230: Swap HDD to SSD or install mSATA SSD HARD disk?

  Hello

  I have a x 230 with a 320 GB of HDD (7500 RPM) and want to replace it with an SSD for a fully automated machine.

  Right now, most of the time the only sound I hear the machine is the rotation of the disk HARD and TP Fancontrol watch that especially fans are not at all turns. I can afford a 128 GB SSD, but I am confused if I should replace the HDD with a SSD or complete with an mSATA SSD and install Windows, instead. The latter of course would give me 320 GB of HARD drive space, which would be nice, but my priority is the silence, so I need to know if the HARD drive can be powered completely except when I need files from it? If the HARD disk wakes up now and then because of some hidden Windows processes that I can't control, I'd rather than with an ordinary SSD instead of the mSATA SSD. I can live with less space.

  Does anyone have experience with this?

  Thank you

  If you install your operating system and applications on the mSATA ssd and just use the HARD drive for file storage then I think the HARD drive will only turn up when you access these specific files.

  Control Panel (Power Options) and Lenovo Power Manager settings for the hard disk turns off after a period of inactivity. However, the settings apply to all readers. Individual hard drives have no separate settings. I think that the system will not shut down the drive hard as long as there is activity going on in an mSATA SSD.

• HP dv7-6b50eb: HP recovery launches the cloned SSD, impossible to install win7 on the SSD.

  Hello

  I recently bought an SSD to accelerate my HP DV7. So I tried to clone my previous 1 TB to my 250 GB SSD hdd, but it seems that it's quite simple. :-(.

  I have created the exact same partitions (with the same size, orders, except for my main Windows partition type of course being given my SSD is much smaller) on the SSD as on my old Hdd. After that I made an exact copy of each 3 partitions (HP Recovery partition, system and tools Hp) but instead of copying the windows partition, I left a void on the SSD as the size of the Windows on the old hard drive partition is larger (the data) than the available size on the remaining on the SSD partition. I thought that I could boot on the SSD drive and start the restore process to install Win7 on the empty partition. But when I restart the pc, it does not seem to recognize the boot SSD partition, he prefers not to say "No operating system found".

  I also tried to activate the 3 partition directly (which is the recovery partition) to directly on boot as the partition, but it did not work either. The partition to activate before it was the 1st partition (which is the SYSTEM partition), but he has not worked either.

  Can someone help me do that cloning to work?

  FYI, I did the cloning and the creation of the partition using fdisk and dd on ubuntu.

  Thank you.

  Hi Wawood and Mista B,.

  Thanks for your comments I have a previous message, but strangely I have not found trace of the previous message, maybe I forgot to press the 'POST' button:-s.

  In any case, I was thinking that I understand your remarks Wawood but my goal isn't specifically for the windows on my new SSD partition (not interested in reducing the windows partition, it is just a statement), it was ok for me to any re - install from the recovery partition, a windows 7 from scratch.

  And I'd say Mista B by saying that it would have been stupid HP do not allow someone to use the recovery on the same pc partition, just because it has a different hard drive.

  Finally, I managed to do what I wanted to for those who are interested (HP is not so stupid after all:-p), here's the method I used to clone my hard drive of 1 TB to my 250 GB SSD and keep all the native HP (recovery, hp_tools, System) partitions with a 1 TB hard drive works correctly.

  So what I have is:

  -J' put the SSD as a second drive on my laptop (I guess it should work in the same way if connected by USB)

  -J' I started my pc and downloaded the EaseUs partition master

  -J' ran the program and began by doing a thorough cleaning of the SSD

  -J' made a copy of the system partition of my hard drive of 1 TB to my SSD

  -J' made a copy of the partition my hard drive of 1 TB HP_TOOLS to my SSD

  -J' made a copy of the recovery of my 1 TB hard drive partition to my SSD

  -J' created a new empty NTFS partition in the remaining partition

  I'm done with the same exact score as agenda in my 1 TB HDD.

  1. THE SYSTEM

  2 NTFS empty

  3 recovery

  4.HP_TOOLS

  After that my SSD was not bootable, because the MBR has not yet been copied.

  Then I started a live CD of Ubuntu and I installed boot-repair and he ran.

  I chose the advanced options and set set the mbr and boot from the partition 3.

  I then put the partition recovery (partition 3) as being ACTIVE.

  I removed the hard drive of 1 TB of the laptop (to avoid any error during execution of recovery which ends with the recovered 1To:-p) beeing and replaced it with the SSD.

  I then rebooted the laptop and it starts directly on the recovery partition. I finished in the recovery strategy (I could not choose the recovery from an earlier point in time given that the windows partition is empty (no windows backup)).

  I chose over the full restore, the slight recovery with only OS and drivers and it does the job of recovery. Now that the of what I write this resolved thread :-).

  Hope this helps some people out there with the same questions.

• I replaced the HDD with SSD but Win 7 has always said that the HARD drive is inplace!

  Everything else works fine. Error correction of the control panel says there is an error, but it did not fix it. 'Computer' shows still a 75 G HARD drive but the CPU is using my Samsung SSD 250 G 820. How can I change the C: drive in "Computer" to read my new SSD?

  Before any thing let double check that you're not missreading disk management, disconnect your external drive and all other devices, re-booting, it starts?

  If it isn't

  Disconect all the external devices

  (1) if its a dvd win7 real victory dvd insert & re-booting, it starts from the dvd victory, early in the process if it detects remove them all partitions, then continue the installation using all the free space.

  Then connect to the internet and allow windows updates important to do its thing, it may require several reboots and update runs.

  Install your anti virus program, if a PC brand visit the site PC manufacturers and install drivers specific to win7 for your model, if a generic desktop computer, motherboard manufacturers site for their drivers.

  Check the basic operation of the PC before going any further, if all OK just reinstall your media origonal programs.

  If still OK connect the external drive and simply copies the data in different places of the library on the ssd.

  ---------------------

  (2) if it is a game of manufacturers PC recovery discs insert the cd & re - start, depending on what options that don't give CD a destructive restore (clean install)

  After completion do not install anything, unless you use a disc of recovery of PC manufacturers and theres a separate utilities/drivers If yes drive use.

  Then in management records check which is shown for drive 0 if it shows the space unallocated to the rt, C C: rt-click and select Extend Volume > type following in the unallocated total shown Mo > next > finish

  Then connect to internet for the important updates to do its thing, then proceed as indicated in (1) except for the drivers

• MacBook Pro 13 "(mid-2012) do not recognize all internal HDD or SSD

  Hello, I have this very annoying problem with my Macbook Pro 13 "mid-2012.

  Two days ago he suddenly shows the ""folder with a question mark gray ' screen. " Reading online, I saw that many have had this problem in the past and that usually to fix just do this:

  -Restart the Mac, press Cmd + R, then the utility disk, check and repair the drive.

  I tried, but there was any Macintosh HD. There is rather a "disk0' with a score of"Mac OS X Base System.

  I tried also this, without success:

  -Remove the HARD drive and using an "all in 1 HDD Docking Station" try opening the hard drive of another Mac. It says that can not open the disk but I can erase it (did not, I still hope to recover data in the future with some software).

  -I already upgrade my Macbook Pro with an SSD, thinking about my drive HARD has been compromised, I bought a Samsung SSD 750 EVO (250 GB) and I replaced the HARD drive.

  -J' have formatted the SSD format "Mac OS X Extended (journaled)" and, from another Mac, created a boot USB with El Capitan installer disc.

  Then, with the SSD instead of HARD drive, I did all these things:

  -Start the Mac, press Option, start the USB key. But no "Macintosh SSD" has been shown when comes to decide where to install El Capitan.

  At this point, I was very confused and tried the last chance:

  -Start the mac without internal drive but with the SSD in the docking station. Boot from USB and try to install El Capitan on the SSD. And it worked!

  But stil does not work when I put the SSD inside the Macbook. Is possible whether the Sata cable who, from one day to the other, stop working?

  PS:

  I tried also Reset of the MSC and the Apple Hardware Test extended, giving "No problem found".

  I also tried to unplug the Sata cable connectors and clean the cable with a handkerchief, then incredibly SSD Macintosh appeared at the start of the USB, but installation failed at some point. And next time, I tried the SSD disappeared again.

  This problem is driving me crazy and I hope someone can help with suggestions. Thank you

  Yes.

  A NEW SATA cable will probably will correct the problem.

• 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.

• Win7pro Activation fails after replacing the HDD with SSD on HP Mini 5102, SP1 would be the issue?

  Hi all

  Displays the first time here, be it a Sunday I can't contact customer service...

  I bought my HP a few months ago and had an Indilinx SSD detached from my updates. Think the mini 5102 would be the best place to put the Indilinx (G2 Intel went in the largest notebook).

  After going through the pain of a full reinstall (best way for ssd), , I had the machine works very well with all the updated drivers and updates to the OS, but have obviously forgotten to activate (as it appears on the system properties page). I thought the network would be the best place to get the last of my tasks of re.

  BTW, factory installed Windows 7 Pro 32 bit...

  So I have just run the activation routine and do NOT have! Using the initially installed key.

  1. Could this have caused the bone now have Service pack 1?
  2. Could it be changing right on HARD for one SSD drive?

  Should I call Microsoft or HP?

  (I have the disk HARD original (with intact BONES) for the replacement if necessary).

  With thanks and greetings from the Australia,.

  The registry key will not work with the installation of OS in retail. It is the volume key OEM HP uses in the production. You have a license attached at the bottom of the laptop key? If so, it is to use.
