How do I clone the mSATA drive in my Inspiron 17R 7720?

I have two almost identical Inspiron 17R laptop 7720; one that I bought new from Dell 4 years and one that I bought used a couple of weeks. Both have identical hardware with the following exceptions: my original has a Core i7 processor and a 32 GB mSATA drive, while the new has a Core i5 processor and no mSATA drive. Hard drives, video, memory, etc. are all the same on both computers.

I bought a car identical mSATA for the new computer and try to clone the mSATA and the old computer's HARD drive, so I have two identical computers. I tried cloning of disks using Macrium Reflect. Cloned HARD drive successfully, but reflects only concludes a 8 GB partition not formatted on the old disk mSATA, not all 32GB. I cloned the new drive mSATA and tried in my old computer it correctly identified the drive but it was not valid, said RAID 0 volume and asked me to change my drive to non-RAID configuration.

Any thoughts on how I can clone the old mSATA disc correctly to the new?

You can't clone this player.  What you need to do is set up the Intel IRST again.

  • System of records of documents & settings migrated to HD external backup. Is no longer on the C: drive. How to restore to the C: drive?

    PC switched on and I tried to open outlook.  Received the message:
    The path specified for the file G:\Documents and Settings\Ray Bush\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\archive.pst is not valid.
    Known as the G: drive is a disk external hard Lacie to be used for back up, although it has been used to store data of previous Windows XP/Office 2007 extracted from the HD system crashed.
    When the above message has been received, the G: drive was not connected. Once it has been connected, archive.pst became available.
    It seems that the Documents & Settings folder system has migrated to the external hard drive backup and is therefore no longer on the C: drive, or at least I can see it there.  Can I just drag and drop the folder Documents and Settings of the G: drive system into the c: (about 750MB)?
    How to restore to the C: drive without doing something drastic is going to lose the settings and configuration?  Why what happened?  Can I prevent that from happening in the future? Is there a conflict between Lacie 500 Gb external SSD and internal Intel 520 Series 120 GB SSD SATA3?

    Hello

    Win 7 and Win 8, Documents and Settings is a folder hidden, locked, unlike XP.

    Documents, videos, photos and etc are now included in the C:\Users\User name, and that's where your installed programs will send them.

    You can change their default location, and your software usually sends to the new location because of the way it is redirected.

    I don't think anything has moved physically now that I re-read your post.

    You say the keyword but... it has been imported into the new perspective.

    When a program is something important, is usually not a physical copy of the file. It basically accesses its location of origin, as if the imported file is just a shortcut to the original.

    Your Outlook was simply looking for the file to its actual location through the 'shortcut '.

    Most all programs have an OPTIONS, PREFERENCES, or SETTINGS button somewhere.

    Search through the links at the top of File, Edit, help, etc. It should be in one of these if ut doesn't have its own icon... a gear, for example.

  • Inspiron 17R 7720 mSATA question

    My Inspiron 17R 7720 has an mSATA SSD 32 GB. I thought, apparently incorrectly, that this disc was a startup disk that contains the operating system and has been used to provide a faster start of the OS. In response to another thread I posted an answering machine said my mSATA drive was a cache and did not contain any programs. Does that mean that there is no data stored permanently on the drive from mSATA? When the system is turned off, all data on the mSATA is lost? If so, what is the purpose of bigger disks mSATA? I see them more than 128 GB, a disc more capacious mSATA, how that my 32 GB disk does not want?

    32G disc puts cached the main reader - there IS data stored on it and more frequently data are accessible, more it is stored on the disk of 32G.  It is a COPY of the data from the hard drive, though - this is NOT a RAID 0 array.

    An mSATA cache (or a hybrid disc) will speed up playback from the HDD a little, but it is a pale imitation of the performance you get when you actually install and run the operating system completely of a native SSD.  This will improve the overall combined system vs. running a caching, hybrid or a conventional hard drive.

    See Page 64. You must remove the top cover, but not the motherboard. This jeopardize the warranty but HP will not void the warranty if you do the upgrade successfully.

    This series of videos will also be useful:

    Hey Buddy,

    You can use drive E all the time... ;-)

    The point is that most programs will be installed on the C drive, so you should choose drive E, if you want to install.

    In my opinion the best option is if you save all important files and private on second drive E. I mean these files like photos, videos, music, documents, etc. He just copy and post it on the E drive, everything that s! :)

  • Satellite L300D - 24 d how can I update the graphics driver?

    Hello

    How can I update the driver for my ATI Radeon 3100 graphics card. (Win Vista 32 bit)
    I download and installed the new ATI Catalyst worms. 10.12.

    If I change my graphics card options, there is always the old driver installed... Worms. 22.04.08 8.479.0.0
    Also, it is not possible to change the settings for graphic resolution higher than 1280 X 800 Pix.

    Thanks for the help,

    Fun1975

    First, you must use the page to Toshiba display driver.
    The use of other drivers can lead to highest GPU temperature and cause overheating.

    But if you want to use other drivers, you can do so at you own risk.
    In order to install another driver, go to Device Manager, mark the graphics card, then press on uninstall button.
    Then the driver should be uninstalled.

    After you restart the laptop, you can try to install the new version.

    > It is also not possible to change the settings for graphic resolution higher than 1280 X 800 Pix.
    The internal screen for laptop supports 1280 x 800 high resolution. It is not possible to choose a higher value.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - How can I change the optical drive?

    I want to change the optical drive in a satellite pro L20 but I'm having trouble finding instructions on how to remove it. Can anyone help?

    The CURIOUS reader is fixed with a screw at the bottom of the unit. Then, turn the computer over and remove one screw an optical disk drive.
    The second screw is hidden under the keyboard. That's why this screw must be removed also. And then disconnect you should be able to pull-out of the optical drive.

    But note; If you have no experience of these things, ask a technician for laptop computer to help him.

    I have a Satellite P300D 10V and there ATI radeon hd 3xxx series display panel. I bought Starcraft 2 and there was an error message: that the display driver is outdated.

    I went on ati.com. They say I have to get the driver from Toshiba. I went to Toshiba, had the driver. When you try to install it says no components to install. I uninstalled the ati driver and tried again. The same thing.

    Now I don't have driver for the graphics card. How can I install the driver?

    Help, please!

    Hey,.

    This means that you have uninstalled the old display driver, but now, you are not able to install the latest version of Toshiba?
    Well, what OS do you have?

    Before installing the new display driver, you should decompress all the files. Then run the setup.exe file.
    If you get the same error message, try to install the driver through the Device Manager.

    Hello ohgioia2, here is a link that contains information. I don't know if that's enough to get the last memory module.
