• How to get cloned SSD for boot on Y510p

  Hello

  Recently bought a laptop Y510p and of course, I wanted to have an SSD as boot drive.

  I downloaded a software of cloning and cloned partition of Windows operating system that I intended to keep all of the original partitions intact Lenovo on the original hard drive.

  I put the original HARD drive in a caddy and replaced the DVD drive and put the SSD where was the original HARD disk.

  I tried to change the boot order in the Bios, but no matter what it just comes down to boot from the original HARD disk.

  I don't know what I have to do to make it boot from SSD, clone all partitions from the disk? I have Windows 8 discs, or anything like that, so I want to just clone the HDD of origin, as it was installed in the laptop.

  Thank you!

  
  

• Aspire One d255 does not recognize the usb connected external ssd drive

  I want to replace the original HDD 160 GB with a 120 GB Samsung ssd 750 evo but bios and win 10 does not recognize the ssd drive as an external drive connected via a usb connection, so I couldn't create an image of my internal hard drive.  Is there a way to clone my hard drive SSD, so I can exchange the disc later?  I need to update the bios, install a missing driver, etc. ?

  I used two different connections: one is a 2.5 "SATA case disc that I used with a disk 2.5" HARD and works very well with the HARD drive and the other is SATA/IDE connector combination with cables for SATA and power and none of these works.  I read in another forum during my research that the Aspire One d255 doesn't recognize any external SSD connected through a USB either.  Since my netbook has no data, and I had just a pure 10 Windows installed on his drive HARD internal, I removed the 160 GB HARD drive and replaced by a 120 GB SSD and installed another Windows own 10.  It worked and my system boots now in less than 20 seconds.   We can close this thread now since I now have a faster machine fully function.  Thank you!

• Want DV7 - 7227cl adding an ssd as boot drive and keep the original as a data reader drive.

  Anyone with an idea how to do this... now the laptop is booting from the SSD and the physical disk is removed, because she takes as boot drive.

  Thank you and please do not suggest the online chat, all came from there and was no help.

  Unfortunately when they Redid the Forum there is a month old sticky messages were lost. Let me go back and see if I can find it. Don't get your hopes for this as a solution. It is very complicated to implement and very fragile. Windows updates often break for people who have got it to work.

  I found an old post which has a link to the instructions:

  In other words, you can use this Jack to connect external speakers

• Satellite U840W - how it works with SSD and HDD drives?

  American,

  I have a U840W which is a beautiful piece of work. He currently heads the Win7.
  It has a hybrid drive system, SSD 32 G and 500G HARD drive. Apparently the 32G acts as a cache.

  I tried to install Linux Mint as a dual boot with Win7.

  Cannot make it work. The installation process (Ubiquity) does not see disks or partitions.
  In a file manager or the GPart-partition manager, I see the HARD drive and all partitions.

  Help me to help the developers of the ubiquity of the problem of access to disks I can get a
  explanation of the way in which the disk system is organized and how it works?

  Any help greatly appreciated, Ian.

  The LINUX community already knows your answer and has led the path to resolve, such as the forum of mint as this thread:

  http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=124299

  Even Microsoft Windows has trouble with setup.exe on disc SSD/HDD hybrid and the Microsoft forums are polluted with their own unverified solutions, some of which are frighteningly superstitious that authoritative to be listed here.

  Ubi, Gnome and KDE are all based on the ability of Grub reliable start the player and so many different distributions don't guarantee reliability.

  I don't have the problem you describe with hybrid hard drives since the installation of 11 Unbuntu.

  Mint is not my first choice with the exception of a bureau of temporary replacement, since the authors are strongly focused on the Office UI, less than the largest army of coders behind Unbuntu and Fedora.

  I'm not criticizing the currency of your choice, but comparing the current Unbuntu boot process could shorten your objective dissection of a startup process of OEM from a manufacturer known for securing lower level specifications.

• How can I add SSD as boot on new ALX disc

  New ALX - adds nothing. You want to boot from the SSD and make the HARD drive to store backup data.

  Did a recovery through Respawn USB.

  Installed Samsung 1 TB SSD HD alternative with Icy Dock adapter dock.

  Run Samsung magician - everything looks good. SSD appears as a separate drive.

  Impossible to get Samsung Data Migration to work. In any case, I'm worried about because it will wipe the HARD drive and, for the moment, I can't change the order of boot anyway.

  The SSD is listed in the BIOS under the BOOT of LEGACY: position as P1 (the disc is P0). However, the SSD does not appear under the UEFI BOOT: topic - only HARD drive. This is all very confusing. Tried to start of list of the HERITAGE (HDD and SSD), but it wouldn't boot - had to go back to the UEFI boot.

  1. How can I load Windows 7 (via recovery USB!) on the SSD?

  2. How can I get the SSD to appear in the list of boot UEFI

  Any help will be graciously submitted

  I'm sure that's how it works...

  Use any Dell or Alienware preinstalled to create a recovery USB drive.

  Disconnect and remove drive spinning (this is your fail-safe backup) and put it somewhere safe.

  Install the SSD in Bay-0.

  Insert the recovery USB disk

  Press F12, the machine turns on and do a one time boot from the USB key.

  Dell recovery allows to write the load of software factory for the disc of starting or C: (what is now the SSD).

  Once completed, the machine should start from the SSD.

• 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

  millergd

  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.

  Good luck

• How can I best configure files with external SSD?

  Hello

  I want to install an external SSD as boot on an iMac of 2012 drive, but I don't have enough space for all my files and documents.

  I plan on backup and by installation tasks and using the migration wizard to change apps and accounts internal users through the SSD from the HARD drive.

  The main question is my videos, pictures (including the photo library) and iMovie projects (and associated files), so I was planning on uncheck the video files and images in the for the corresponding user accounts migration wizard.

  My questions are:

  1. This sounds like a reasonable plan?

  2. what happens to the folders/files I leave on the drive HARD internal and how I "reconnect" them with the OS on the SSD? *

  * i.e. is there a new folder of videos or photos on the SSD and in the Finder, or Mac would automatically know they were still on the internal drive?

  Thank you

  Why not just get a larger SSD

• HP EliteBook 8730w: replacement of SSD for the boot drive not recognized

  I'm trying to install a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500 GB instead of the original 500 GB HDD in my Elitebook 8730w (product no. VF889PA #ABG). The 8730w has the latest BIOS (F.20) installed and that is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (fully patched).

  When it is connected to the laptop through a USB adapter, to clone the HARD disk image. the SSDS works correctly. Cloning through data Migration Samsung is reported as a success, and the image of the C:\ drive occupies approximately 153 GB. The image of the disc does not include the partition of 1 GB dedicated to HP_TOOLS, due to a known limit of the Samsung software supplied.

  When it is installed in the HARD drive Bay. the SSD is not recognized as a drive and does not appear in the list of startup options. The available boot options only shown are the DVD or a network boot.

  would be very grateful for any advice on the steps required to successfully install the Samsung SSD as boot drive.

  Hmmm.
  Honestly no, I'm not happy with this one. If it was my machine, I'd be a little concerned about whats the corner of the street. In view of the age, is not surprising really, things wear out over time, the mere fact of electronics.
  
  Search through everything you have posted, all photos, pdf, all the text double checking. I am absolutely puzzled as to what happened. If you 100% does not reinstall the hard disk between the posts above where no HARD drive is detected in the menu boot options for the post below that where the HARD drive is detected in the same menu. I would say that you have a problem with either, the ssd, the computer motherboard laptop or the small connector on the sata port, I think on these is integrated on the motherboard, so it seems that your advice is doubtful.
  If his works now, great... but be aware that your machine can fail at some point in the near future. And it looks like a defect of the motherboard, other things are probably waiting to fail.
  
  There is no reason whatsoever your laptop must not have seen this ssd at first startup. A HARD drive is a HARD disk, if its compatible sata, then it will work, no doubt. When he is not on an older machine, its probably a sign of a faulty component.
  
  Looking through your bios options, I recommend the following.
  
  On startup options, get rid of internal nic pxe boot, that will only slow your machine at startup as it will seek for a network bootable device. This is the message that you get at startup saying Media Test Failure, this page is preventable with this option disabled.
  Less built lan/wlan switching on enabled in the options of the terminal, also change. This means that if you use wifi at home for example and you decide to plug in a cable network directly to the router to speed up the connection, it will not pass if it is not defined, you will have to do it manually. I work in a large company and the number of people who have this option is unreal. They all assume when they are docked they will on the wired connection.
  
  Because we are here too, if you ever have problems with a flickering screen, first thing to try, is disable the ambient light sensor which is just below this option of switching. Its fine on normally, but its quite common on 8560p for this causes a flickering screen.
  
  Hope that helped. Good luck in what you decide to do with the machine
