• Problems to Windows 7 new SSD

  I bought a HPE-170F with a 1 TB HARD drive and decided to add an Intel X - 25 M SSD 80 GB as drive operating system.  I didn't know that I would run into problems of displacement of the Windows 7 OS to the new drive.  I tried both possibilities.

  First of all, I created with the disconnected original 1 TB drive and HP recovery discs, I tried to recover the OS to the new drive.  The 80 GB drive was already formatted and recognized in the BIOS.  Recovery failed when I received the error message that the new drive is smaller than the original drive.  Of course the 80 GB is large enough to contain the operating system and much more, but the recovery system know it is less than the original drive.

  My another attempt was to create a system image since the 1 TB drive through Windows 7 and using the Windows repair disk C to try to restore that image on new 80 GB drive.  First of all, I reduced the original score from C to about 37 GB for it go below 80 GB disk size.  I managed to create the image system 5 DVD even if I created the ERD at that time here as I did previously.  With the 1 TB drive unplugged, I started with the Windows repair disk that went well until the moment he seems to start restoring image system and failed.  This time the error is "Not in the catalog (0 X 80780003) backup set".

  My next thought is to try a third party software to prepare the original image of the disk system and use this software to clone to the new drive.  I wonder about a number of things.  One, the alignment will be correctly the 80 GB SSD using this method?  And secondly, will install a cloning of lead drive to other operation OS future headaches because he wasn't a clean place.

  Any suggestions or experiences, that I can draw?  Thanks in advance.

  Buy a third-party software like or similar to Paragon Hard Drive Management Suite of Imaging. Burn the disc to boot WinPE supplied with the product.   Download all partitions in combined on your main drive size to not be greater than your new SSD.  If you got your OS up to 37 GB then you should be in good shape.

  Start the WinPE CD image, and an image of the hard drive (all partitions) to an external USB HD, CD/DVD media or hard disk 2 If you have two.  Turn off your PC and swap in the new SSD. Boot the WinPE image boot disk and then restore your image to your new SSD.

  Once you get your SSD to start then go to management-> disk management computer, fully extend the screen and see how you can use to add may to your partition C of unallocated space.

  I'd rather not use freebe products as they do not have the WinPE boot disk.

• Cloning windows 7 for SSD (different controller)

  Basically I change hard drive, so I would use the cloning utility (if all goes well he leaves me the image of the system partition).

  But the SSD is attached to another controller, I added later.

  For Win7 has no drivers to start on it (other than those that are set up to display the controller).

  So I wonder how to integrate the drivers if needed, or what I would do in advance to avoid problems.

  thx a lot

  When you clone, it creates an exact replica of the layout of the partition. The minimum I recommend, if you plan to use cloning is to create a system repair disc:

  Step 1:

  See the instructions below how to do this using Easeus do save:

  http://www.TODO-backup.com/backup-resource/data-transfer/move-Windows8.1-from-HDD-to-SSD.htm

  You will probably need an external hard drive with enough space for the installation of backup hard disk.

• 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.

• Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

  Hello

  I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.
  
  I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

  Thanks for any help.

  The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

  Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

  Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

  It makes you, thank you.

• New SSD in T430, Windows does not, tried everything...

  Hello

  I bought a T430 a week ago. I'm not completely inept with computers: I have successfully added an another 4 GB of RAM with no problems.

  Then I wanted to replace my HDD with my SSD. I know that the SSDS works because he was in another laptop. I put it in an external dock; It hooked up to my T430. He allowed. I kept safe backup HARD drive, I used several times since then. I also did a recovery of Windows on a CD disc.

  I cloned the HARD drive on my SSD using EaseUS software and said to make it bootable. It didn't for me, so I blamed the software.

  Then I used Acronis True Image to make a bootable copy of my setup on a USB key. I turned on the computer with just the SSD (empty) and tried to load the USB key. My computer does not recognize the bootable copy of white point. Everything takes back me to a screen asking me which drive I want to start since several times.

  Good then, I said, clone the HDD to the SSD and try the bootable USB. Has done this, but it had no effect. Same problem as above.

  Okay okay, let's try a new installation on the SSD using the recovery disk. That's when the real fun happens. I get to the menu on the theme of Lenovo System Recovery, and I click Next. Then I get a warning message saying "this version of the System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of Windows that you want to repair. Try to use a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of Windows. What? I did only this morning. I don't think that the main Windows updates has been since then! (Just in case, I made an even more recent recovery disc tonight. I had the same error).

  Then I erased the SSD and tried the recovery on the own SSD disk. Same mistake once again. Recovery disks do not work, the system does not recognize the USB copy and the SSD cloned (and allegedly boot-loan) does not start.

  What is going on? All I'm doing is replace my with my SSD HARD drive and running Windows 7. I don't think it would be this hard

  Some additional points:

  -I'm inserting readers. The computer can read it is a series of 840 Samsung SSD.

  -There is no problem with the USB. My office can read very well and sees that there are 29GB of stuff there.

  -J' have changed the boot order in the BIOS to load the disk USB (or CD) first.

  -J' disabled the safe boot option in the BIOS.

  -J' tried UEFI, inheritance, etc. etc., mixture of both.

  -Yes, it's a legitimate copy of Windows. It came with the computer a week ago. There is [i] might [/ i] a question I try to reinstall Windows 7 on SSD, but the only recovery disks that come with the computer are Windows 8... but then how do I get Win 7 on my SSD?

  -J' looked for in the forums. None of the solutions proposed (for most listed above) have worked.

  Any help would be appreciated, people.

  I had one extra hiccup. The disc of Windows 7 could not find the product key for activation/product on the BIOS. Couldn't any semi-douteux program I downloaded. So I could not allow Windows 7.

  I called Lenovo. They said it was my fault for using disks of Windows recovery instead of Lenovo recovery disks. (God forbid! It really should not matter. It is a terrible approach the part of Lenovo who their initial recovery disks gave me an error about the licenses, but yet they apparently do not support the Windows stocks recovery disks.) In any case, after that I said to the officer - in my polite way - that it is a ridiculous scenario, she offered to send me Lenovo recovery disks.

  I agreed. They arrived today. I reinstalled Windows and now everything works fine.

  In the case where someone reads this thread in the future: ask Lenovo will send you recovery disks Win 7 Pro and use after the installation of the SSD. It considerably facilitates the process.

• Reinstallation of Windows 8 on new SSD

  Hi, I have recently acquired a new SSD and a new hard drive after suspecting that my old hard drive was a failure. I tried to do a clean install of Windows 8 on the new SSD, but instead the clean install just erased from my hard drive and reinstalled the old hard disk. I tried the old hard drive to the OS on the new SSD cloning and booting from the SSD, but it does not work, how I go about doing that?

  I bought Windows 8 Pro online and downloaded later, I don't have a backup/install disk and I don't have any more uses on my key (it was 1 key/use only) this is why I did not format and reinstall.

  To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

  So make sure that you do this first, then proceed to reinstall Windows 8 Pro and then again by phone:

  You can download it from there and use your product key to upgrade:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

  Activation of the phone:

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

• Re: Portégé R700 - how to install Windows 7 on new SSD?

  Hello!

  I want to change my HDD in Toshiba Portege R700 to SSD. How to install Windows 7 on this new SSD? I don't have any Windows installation disc.

  Or that it will be possible to move the partition of the old HDD to new SSD (using Acronis, I could move the partition on the new HARD drive)?

  I've heard of partition offset and this SSD block should be the same as FAT cluster (the same alignment).

  All advice? (I know should I defragment my HARD drive before moving :))

  Hey Buddy,

  > I do not have any Windows installation disc.
  Create the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the manual of the user before you exchange the disc, then you have a Setup disk. The Toshiba recovery disc will restore parameters of the box with all the drivers and tools. It can be used on each disc and how many times you want.

  After this change the drive and start the Toshiba recovery disc. Follow the instructions on the screen and everything will be installed.

  Check this box!

• Toshiba Tecra S3 - new SSD stuck on JBOD, cannot install windows on it

  I just got myself a Kingston V series 64 GB SSD drive, but I can't it is detected by windows installation programs.
  After looking around, I found that the Tecra S3 drives must be "1RAID 0" and not JBOD to activate windows to
  be installed on it. (unless you use the recovery CD, which I did not right now, even if I wanted to use it)

  I also found the "collar" necessary to get the BIOS to change when you get to 'run the creation '.
  is 1,2,3,4, [Enter].

  But here's the catch: + BIOS does not account for the string... +.
  I type the string, 1234, [Enter], and it cancels my desired, change as if I said NO and set it to JBOD.
  (if I don't type the string on the right, it comes out, but stays 1raid0 and "run the creation" is still there)
  I tried on one of my other drives and it worked fine, but for some reason this drive seems not wanting me to.

  I tried the USB drive (works fine) and the BIOS sees it for what it is, so that the drive works well (from my tests)

  Would be really appreciated any ideas on what to do now, I'm out of ideas on what I did not properly
  Thank you!

  Hello

  > I just got myself a Kingston V series 64 GB SSD drive, but I can't it is detected by windows installers

  Have you included the RAID driver in Windows before you tried to reinstall the OS?
  On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the RAID driver to be included when installing Windows installation.

  Regarding the change in BIOS RAID;
  I m not very good, but it might be possible that you cannot change the reason the SSD RAID option.
  If other drives are working properly and that the RAID may be changed using a common HARD disk the problem is related to the new SSD drive.

  Maybe you need to update the firmware on the SSD drive to check it out.

• New SSD - windows 8 or 10 on el Capitan (iMac 2010)

  Dear people of Apple support!

  I may be one little different from others going on here and I hope that you guys can talk me through it. After days of trying, I'm a bit lost to be honest.

  About 5 days ago I received my iMac 27 "(mid-2010) updated with a new SSD (originally there was just the 1 TB HD)." The new SSD (which is 512 gb) has been in the position where the cd/dvd drive used to be (that I now can't use more). I now have the 1 TB and the new SSD upward and running with el Capitan installed on the new SSD. Works great!

  The main reason to go with the SSD is obviously to speed things up, but also because I wanted to have (8 or 10, I guess) installed Windows with Bootcamp on this SSD.

  The things I have tried/made up to now:

  -Have both iso of windows 8 and 10 loan

  -Edited my info.plist file where I remove the "Pre" just before USBBootSupportedModels to activate the option in BCA where you can create a bootable USB key

  -After trying the same mistakes with several usb occurs after BCA to restart first, which is "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

  -J' stopped the iMac and power on it pressing the option key where I found the bootable usb key (which showed boot EFI)

  -A from there, I walked into the perfect installation of windows. ;-)

  -However, that's where I really got stuck. I couldn't select my partition. Error on show details: 'Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed to GPT disks.

  -After formatting, I had the same error as above (error of GPT disks).

  -J' found this error a lot, especially on this forum. So I tried to fix it with gdisk (http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2362). Unfortunately no luck, I got the error to the step where you type 'w '. Error: Could not open device ' / dev/disk0 ' for writing! Errno is 1! Abandonment of writing!

  -J' discovered that it has something to do with SIP and that I should turn off safe mode, but when I restart my iMac I can't get into recovery by using CMD + r. Mode I tried to use it immediately after her, short, long, etc, but all I get is a white screen.

  Some things aside that I tried:

  -Creation of a windows partition manually with disk utility (remove the fact first by BCA)

  -Tried the two structures MS - DOT (FAT), and ExFAT

  -J' tried editting the info.plist still more by entering a string below DARequiredROMversion (IM112.0057.B03) and USBBootSupportedModels (iMac11, 3)

  Where I am at this time:

  -Ready with Windows 8 ISO bootable USB

  -Removal of all partitions in windows

  -Reset my hd and SDS info.plist file (I guess there are 2)

  --A STROLLER full reset (with cmd + option + p r to reboot) 3 times

  -Said a MSC (I think it's called) reset where I disconnected my cable for 15 seconds

  Trully I thinks I tried most of the things that I could find online, which led me to this post.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. If any additional info is requirement please let me know.

  Thank you!

  Best regards.

  Your iMac 2010 will not be installed Windows using without the optical drive boot camp.

  You should try this option, but it requires you to buy Winclone.

  You can also temporarily re - install the optical drive and make sure you install Windows on the main Bay drive (not in the optical drive Bay) and then put your second drive (the one without Windows on it) in the Optibay slot.

• Satellite L855-149 - migration Windows 8 to new SSD, including recovery partitions

  Hello

• Presario CQ61-110SL: upgrade for laptop Presario CQ61-110SL from XP to Windows 7 with new SSD EVO 840

  In fact on Presario CQ61-110SLI I have XP installed the Vista of origin instead.

  Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and contestually get a new SSD Samsung 840 rather original EVO... What is the correct procedure?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

  There is no procedure to upgrade from XP to Win 7, it would be clean installation.

  1. place the SSD drive in the machine instead of the HARD disk

  2. start the installation of Win 7 disc to install Win 7 (best x 64 edition)

  3 install the drivers of the machine, you can download from >here<

  Windows 7 is optimized to work with SSD, there will be no problem.

  If you have important data on your old HDD, you can either save it before (on external support, USB key, Cloud solution, etc.)  or after it (via a USB cable plugged into the laptop as external drive). This is also an option to transfer data.

  Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Happy holidays!

• New ssd install charge windows 7 os

  Hello

  I recently asked questions on using the oh USB recovery of a new ssd in my hp envy 15 t, but now I know the recovery disks cannot be used as the ssd is small.

  So my question is can I borrow a friends windows 7 cd and install in my ssd and use my serial code? If so what and how should I prepare reload all the drivers that are needed?

  Thank you once again I really appreciate the help!

  You are the very welcome.

  Which shouldn't be a problem then.  All the W7 x 64 drivers are on the link below...

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=6521374

  Now, if your model comes with the graphics Intel and nVidia, then when you go to install the graphics drivers, you must install the Intel graphics driver first and then restart.  Then you can install the graphic driver nvidia.

  Recommended order to install the important drivers...

  1 chipset installation utility.  Install and reboot.

  2 Intel and nvidia drivers graphics. Install Intel first, reboot, install nvidia and restart the computer.

  3. audio. Install and reboot.

  4 Ethernet. Install and reboot.

  Then, you can install all the others you need.

  If you need help to find all the drivers, please post back and I'll be happy to help you further.

  You don't know what model of laptop wireless card has and now you don't have a windows installation to check the model of wireless card you have in the device after the installation of W7 Manager, please proceed as follows...

  Go to Device Manager, find the other devices category, click the network controller needing drivers.

  Then click on the Details tab at the top of the control of the network window.

  Now, you see a drop-down list of property and it is set by default to the Description of the unit.

  Drop down on it and select the second item in the list (Hardware ID).

• Install the EFI on new SSD partition when doing 10 costs of Windows Installer

  I have a similar problem to this topic. Windows was originally (and still is) installed on my HARD drive and I just installed my SSD recently. When I did a clean install of Windows 10 on my new SSD it has not installed the EFI partition.

  Is there a way to create a new partition on the SSD EFI (of course I have to do another new facility) or do I have to physically unplug my HARD drive before you begin?

  my personal rule, I always disconnect a disk with a partition bootable OS, just to reduce the troubles and do not mix the boot managers (I prefer to select the BIOS boot device)
