How add/install disk 16 GB SSD setting cached?

Hi all

I just bought the HP Envy 700QE Costco desktop computer.  I found the guide on this desktop/Tower computer (www.nhangraphic.com/HP-Envy-700QE-Upgrade.pdf) , but nothing is mentioned on how to install/config the extra 16 GB SSD drive caching.  I really want this to improve the performance of the desktop computer.   Could someone please help me how add/install and config 16 GB SSD caching disk for this office of 700QE HP Envy step by step? Thanks in advance.

If it works for you, then you are good.

  • Help! : How to install disks raid0 2x500Go of a XPS8300 in a XPS8500 (raid0 not configured) without loss of data?

    Hello world

    My XPS8300 has recently crashed due to the lightning (food), and I had to return to my insurance company who me repaid. So I have a new Dell XPS8500.

    I just kept the old XPS8300 two drives in raid0 because they were ok and I wanted to be able to recover my data.

    So I wonder if I can insert these two drives in raid0 in place of the original disc in my new XPS8500 which are not actually configured raid0 without risk of data loss. I know that this raid0 configuration store data on two disks that depends on the configuration of the original controller. This configuration was made by Dell on my old XPS8300 and I don't have it anymore.

    In order to access the drives of my XPS8500 and re-read my datas for more external copy, how can I get the exact settings for the configuration of the bios/raid0 in the XPS8500, probably the same as XPS8300?

    Any response would be appreciated.

    From what I see, the situation is this: you have a RAID 0 pair of hard drives of your computer that failed you believe still work.  Try to remember that Lightning does weird things to a computer, your drives maybe isn't as good as you think they are.  If they are still good, however, it is possible that they could work as a RAID 0 volume on your new XPS 8500.  Disks have RAID 0 metadata on them and the RAID controller on the 8500 XPS should be able to pick up. I don't think that the processors are very different between the two machines.

    You might have trouble booting from disks, however.  8500 XPS BIOS is a bit different from that of the XPS 8300, and I think that it is running Windows 8.  This OS requires parameters not available on the XPS 8300 that have to do with the firmware UEFI is used instead of the legacy PC BIOS.  If you simply install the readers and try to start, some parameters of UEFI would make no sense to the Windows 7 operating system which is most likely present on your old RAID 0 pair of disks.  Even if the system boots to RAID 0, there are enough differences between the mothers of the two systems to facilitate the difficult operation.

    If you still want to give it a go, I suggest that you keep the existing XPS 8500 system disk in place and plug the RAID 0 hard drives in the third and fourth SATA ports.  This will allow the RAID ROM show the RAID 0 volume as an extra disk and allow you to access the contents of this volume.  You may need to take possession of the folders and files on the RAID volume before you can copy, depending on the security settings you had on your XPS 8300.  In addition, you need to maybe change the SATA RAID controller setting and activate 3 and 4 SATA ports until readers discussed.  Older machines have sometimes RAID Autodetect/AHCI and an Auto setting to ports, but some of the newer computers are not.

    You might want to try the RAID setting before going to the trouble to install readers.  The RAID setting uses the AHCI, but he's also looking for RAID metadata on the hard drives.  If the reader of the XPS 8500 system does not, you could get a boot failure.  In case that you need to reinstall your Windows 8 operating system in RAID mode if you always want to try to mount your RAID drives.

  • K320: how to install windows on a SSD?

    To speed up my system, I bought a 64 GB SSD. The idea was to install windows 7 64 on this disc and the same boot from that. HARD original (1 TB) disk is intended to use for data application only.

    I added the SSD successfully to my system, but it seems impossible to install windows and make it bootable? I can't use recovery tools because my original system is also longer than 64 GB.

    My preferred plan is to unplug the HARD drive and start with the SSD from scratch (so if there are problems during the installation, I can easily switch back to my old system).

    Any ideas how to proceed?

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • 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.

  • Adding an SSD as a boot drive - how to install Windows Vista Start

    To speed up my new e9105z, I bought a new 80 GB Intel X - 25 M to reduce disk latency and complete the 640GO HARD drive came with my computer.

    Drive has been installed successfully, recognized by the PC and formatted with the Windows Vista Disk Manager tool.  When I use the BIOS tool to set the Intel SSD as my boot drive, it says that some files of startup is missing, and I come to on the HARD disk as the startup disk.

    Bottom line: how to install Windows Vista on the SSD and configure it to start?  Did I lose my classic HDD data in the process?

    Thank you

    Here is where I am/measures taken.  HP of course makes this difficult process:

    (1) used the CD Creator to make a backup.  (Note that the CD - R does not work with the e9105z software.  Do only DVD-R).  (I tried the system HARD disk recovery image.  He simply reinstalled itself on the HARD disk.)

    (2) the value of Vista installed on the SSD via backup DVDs.  System starts beautifully with SSD.  Hooray! I was about to declare mission accomplished, then...

    (3) Reconnected my HDD SATA cable, she failed to be the startup disk.

    (4) I used disk management to reformat the HARD drive to erase its boot sector.  It is always default to the HARD disk, which is more a Vista on it.  Now, I must go into the BIOS and choose the Intel SSD as boot drive whenever I turn on manually.

    Any idea on what needs to be done to configure the BIOS to finally settle the SSD as my boot drive?  The backup system image is still on the old hard drive.  Could that be throwing?

    The SSD speed is great, but the 6 + hours spent on Vista reinstall, reinstall and reinstall throughout this trial and error process made a royal PITA to do.  It seems that HP didn't consider that whether by adding a second drive that is bootable.

    Thank you

    You should be able to select the startup disk in the BIOS.  Restoring image shouldn't be a factor.  If the BIOS settings do not work, I would swap the connectors between the readers.

    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!

  • How can I enable AHCI in dv7 6199us? And install windows on a SSD?

    Hello!

    I got help.

    How can I enable AHCI in dv7 6199us? And install windows on a SSD?

    Intel based computers, like yours, are usually set to "RAID", which is a superset of "AHCI". Basically, if the BIOS won't let you choose between "IDE mode", "AHCI" and "RAID", leaving in the RAID led to you everything done "AHCI". In this case there is no need to activate the AHCI, as RAID will support an SSD anyway.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    I have also read that since the laptop has an SSD hd and hiding

    Hello:

    I agree with your statements 1-5, with the amendment that there is only the W7 x 64 drivers for your laptop on its support page and driver, since HP only supports consumption patterns for the BONES of public windows into force at the time of the laptop (now Windows 8).

    Therefore, based on the hardware in your PC, I recommend you to use the W7 x 64 drivers and software for this model instead.

    DO NOT USE ALL DOWNLOADS OF BIOS OR FIRMWARE FROM THIS LINK

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=5274535#N608

    Now, I love the idea of installing on a separate HARD drive and returning the original disc if you want to sell the laptop, or simply go back to the use of W8.

    I think that if you went into the BIOS and returns settings to their default values and close the notebook before reinstalling the original drive, it should work perfectly.

    If you do not change the BIOS to their default settings before installing the original drive, I tend to accept that he cannot start.

    You cannot change all settings for the storage controller BIOS in your laptop.

    I think with the models with these caches ssd, is by default the RAID BIOS.

    If you use a Windows 7 installation disc or an ISO file that does not have SP1 media refresh, then Yes, you probably have to load a sata driver.

    Here's how to confirm that your speed controller is set to (AHCI or RAID).

    The simple way to check if your laptop drive controller is set to AHCI or RAID (it will be one of the two), is to do the following.

    To check if the drive is set to AHCI, go to Device Manager. Look at the categories of device.

    If the laptop is AHCI, there will be a category of devices IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.  Click to expand this category and you will see the name of the controller sata which are listed there.  For the chipset of your model, you should see that an Intel (r) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller listed.

    If your laptop drive controller is set to RAID, look further down the list of device category, and you'll see a category of storage controllers. Click to expand that, and if your laptop drive controller is set to RAID, you should see a controller Intel (r) Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID.

    Here is how you can determine which mode the inverter of your laptop SATA is configured for.

    Here is the link to the sata drivers, you may need... You want to download the first file listed for W7 x 64

    https://downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&Keyword=Intel+Rapid+Storage+Technology+(Intel+RST) & lang = fra

    So here's how to install the driver...

    Extract the files downloaded on a USB key.

    With the flash player and the installation of W7 media connected to the computer, boot from the installation of W7 media.

    After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

    You should now see the storage driver files listed.

    If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

    Follow the prompts and should install W7.

  • How to install Windows Vista without an installation disk?

    I want to preinstall Vista on my laptop. I have both the laptop with Win Vista license but there is no instalation disk. Now, I want to make a clear installation but I can't find a way to get a Vista disk. I am looking for the download link, but vain windows.com, I only get Service Pak 2 link. Help, please.

    Hello

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    I have about 100 GB of photos, music, and cam vids on storage, with nowhere to put them, so I can't risk, because some are copy only (so it might be a good idea to let me know how I save this s on my storage spread in the DVD please)

    If I can t, then can some1 please tell me how to get my Toshiba OEM vista off this recovery disk or a link for me?

    Hope all this makes sense lol... Thank you

    If you have so much important material best save is to buy an external HARD drive and copy all this stuff here. I recommend buying the small 2.5 external HDD and when necessary, you can take with you and connect to any computer, if you want to view or copy this file. External hard discs connected to other computers with a supplied USB cable.

    Return to your partitions.
    When you use the original Toshiba DVD facilities, you will have 3 partitions.
    WinRE - partition and it belongs to the Vista operating system. This partition is not visible, and this isn't some sort of Toshiba recovery partition
    -C for Vista partition
    Or-d/E to the DATA in the partition. This partition is recorded recovery image in the folder called HDDRecovery
    I don't know what model of laptop you have, but this configuration is on all new Toshiba laptops shipped WITHOUT recovery media.

    Using Toshiba recovery media, you will be able to get exactly mentioned structure of the partitions. Support to recovery facilities using you WILL NOT be able to install Vista on the second partition.

    So if you want to have the dual boot with Windows XP Home edition, you can do following:
    -At first, you are going to install Vista with support of recovery and on the second partition, you are going to install your version of Windows XP Home edition
    -At first you will be installing WXP and then you can install Vista on the second partition, but you must use the Microsoft facilities drive. Recovery media can not be used.

    That's all I can say from my experience with such things.
