How to create a boot SSD disk?

Hi all

I have a Pavilion p6310y (under Win 7 64 bit home premium) I added an Intel 40 GB SSD for.  I would like to boot from the SSD drive.   The recovery disks that I created will not work with a different size disk (the player to the factory is 1 TB) and I was wondering if there is a way to use the existing installation of windows 7 HP to create a solution?

Thank you

Reduce the footprint of your current hard drive 40 GB below!  You may or may not need another external hard drive in order to facilitate migration.  Use a disk product like Paragon Hard Drive Management Suite of Imaging.  You can also burn a WinPE boot disk to facilitate the process. I got my HD on my e9280t up to 32 GB as follows:

1. disable System Restore

2. disable hibernation

3. delete all the necessary applications and migrate the data on the hard drive.

Now reboot and defragment the hard drive. Reduce your C partition down to below 38 GB using W7 disk management or imaging software features.  You may not be able to migrate the recovery partition, as it is the 8-9 gb.  When you use imaging software, you will notice that you have three partitions. 'system or reserved', C and recovery.  You need the 'system or reserved' and C partitions.   Now, you can try image (copy) the required two partition and the mbr directly across the SSD.

Once you get the SSD mounted, turning and imaged, then you are ready for a test. You can hit the ESC key on the blue HP screen during startup and select your boot device or go into bios and change the boot order and put the SSD at the top of the list of boot devices.

If you have only one HD, then you have room inside for mount the new SSD, but you'll need a sata data cable and adapter support.  You must have a spare hard drive power cable but get one before you start.

If you prefer to go with an external SSD (not mounted on the inside), will need you the following:

1. an external hard drive (probably 2.5 ") box. You will need a power of cube or buy a box that has a round plug to USB port. ($20 35)

2. a support extension sata to extend an open port sata (cheap) motherboard

3. a data cable of stata (cheap)

  • Intend to upgrade my z620 with a boot SSD disk (and maybe a new series of processors) - advice?

    Much as I love my z620, having a SATA boot drive is painful, once you have become accustomed to instant gratification of SSD.

    I plan to buy an Intel SSD and a stand-alone version of of64-bit Windows 7 to go with it. My plan is to do a clean install of the operating system and applications on the SSD (assuming that I can make it work). Is this what I need to know it's HP Workstation specific in order to complete this upgrade? I guess I need to enable the AHCI in the BIOS (J61 v03.69).

    Another question - I currently have two UC E5-2620 (these are the Xeons V1). I want to upgrade these high V2s of range at some point in the future. I think that systems with older BIOS are not able to upgrade, but I think that my installed BIOS is a newer version (end of autumn, 2013).  I agree that any upgrade would be at my own risk and I would like to get the thoughts of others about the feasibility of this.

    First of all, at this later date of starting block that you provide in your second post it seems that, like you can make v2 upgrades.  There is the old 1 1 most recent trunk block versions of the motherboard Z620 date and you can search in the forum here to say from the BIOS easily if you have the original or revision 1 motherboard.  I think that you already know the answer on that.

    This is important: I hope that you have the original SATA drive it HP supplied with the workstation.  Which is a HP Recovery partition which you can see on disk management in the Device Manager.  This partition, you can create optical disks or even a bootable USB key that will allow you to rebuild from scratch a clone of the W7Pro64 which should / could come from the factory.  Who is a clone facility and has this title the OEM W7Pro64 COST so that it activates.  It's a generic COST.   You don't need to spend 140.00 to get W7Pro64... you have probably already under the terms of your purchase Z620.

    The value of this COST is that you can clean reinstall that way and a clone of your new installation can be imaged and even placed on an another Z620 and it will activate it too (be sure to respect the conditions of use for such things).  Because it's the OEM COA clone in question here you can make clones/backups with ease.

    You can do your own build directly on a new SSD at this "Recovery" approach, and the installer will know what to do.  You should already have your emulation of BIOS SATA RAID value + equivalent AHCI... for sure you want that, to get the benefits that come with the new SSD SATA/readers.  A generation of SSD Z620 we have recently received from HP has a C400 Micron 256 GB SSD from the factory.  I got older versions of HP of this SSD of eBay, made a low level of DBAN reformatting, so a format NTFS (long type) and updated the firmware to the same level as that on this new SSD HP (070 H).  There is a firmware update HP to do this with, which works very well.  You need to do the update with the HP update if it's an HP OEM SSD.

    Finally, there are different converters for the SSD is a form factor 3.5 "2.5".  HP has some devices "slide-in" way too expensive for this ("tool-less"), but I posted here on the HP screw equivalent which has exactly the same interface of BlindMate to sheets of data/SATA power of Z620 than mesh disk drawers with... Search eBay for "hp 2.5 to 3.5" and these work perfectly in the Z620 therefor.»  It is now my favorite device.

    processors v2... I hope that someone else will pay for those.  Not cheap.

  • How to create Win7Pe boot CD

    Hello

    I had already created a Win7Pe in a usb flash drive and it works perfectly.

    So I burned a CD with the same files (Win7Pe) but the PC will not boot from it and continues with the first HD.

    I tried to put the boot as boot_se7en files... BIF and boot.bsf with Ultra Iso, who said that it is a bootable disk.

    (Unless one of these files it says this isn't a boot disk). Moreover, there is an autorun.inf file.

    Other times, the computer writes the message Press any key to boot from the CD or DVD... and in doing so, he wrote 8000 of up toward the bottom and stop there. What is the problem?

    I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to do a Win7Pe bootable (Win 7 Live CD).

    Thank you

  • Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using the recovery CD

    I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A200, which was supplied with the product for Vista and XP Recovery discs.
    The license specifically Vista also XP licenses.
    Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to Vista or XP? If so, how?

    I would also like a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
    Any comments?

    Hmmm. Usually it s possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer, but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista recovery CD formats whole disk when installing Vista and this will lead to the loss of the OS installed.
    I m not 100% sure on the recovery of the newest XP CD called RECON doesn t CD include an expert mode which allows to choose between the different partitions.

    So I guess that each use the recovery CD will format the HARD drive and erase the installed data. But of course, you can try to install the two BONES and to check if the restore XP CD allows to choose the second part of the installation of the OS.

    If it does not, it seems that you will need to an original XP from Microsoft CD or the original CD of Vista to use the two BONES.

    Hi Tyler

    I tried with /secureboot command line switch, but its not allow me to change partition to NTFS format.

    Thank you

    Deepak

    Deepak,

    To start under UEFI, you need to boot from a FAT32 partition and since USB Thumb drives allow only one partition, the tools for FAT32 only locks. A secondary drive which is NTFS, or even a network drive could be used to store your WIM files if they are bigger, then the limitation of 4 GB to FAT32. Just start with the key USB ImageAssist and point the tool corresponding to the NTFS drive or use it to map a network drive.

    Thank you
