How to install a bootable SSD blank OSX

Hi guys,.

I have a Macbook Pro mid 2012. He has a regular hard drive 500 GB. I just bought a new SSD 250. It's a Samsung, so I have to install windows inside in order to apply the new Firmware... no problem.

Now...

(1) how can I install Mac OSX in the new Virgin SSD? the disc will be placed in the logic board to have the best speed.

(2) can I access all my files later to the old 500 GB hd which will have all my files in the optical Bay? I mean I don't know if a HD that has used to have the os x installed can be as easy as a regular external HD access. I'm not sure I'm clear with this question. I don't want to lost all my previous files.

Thanks for your help :-)

I have the same PBM and just the SSD even have improved. I used "Carbon Copy Cloner App" to clone my hard drive of origin-for the new SSD.

I use a 'USB to Sata' adapter to fix my SSD on the MBP, so I could clone the HDD.

After you install the new SSD and load the operating system. You will need enable the 'trim' for your Samsung SSD support.

Open "terminal app" and enter this command: "sudo trimforce activate" then select YES, then YES again... reboot when finished.

  • Failed to install the new SSD on OSX support!

    Hello!

    I'd be happy if anyone of you could help me out here!

    I have questions, try to install a new own OSX on a new SSD on my Macbook Pro mid-2012.

    I have done this before on an Evo 840 500 GB Samsung without problems.
    This time, I use a Samsung Evo 850 1 TB, but when I try to install OSX it won't let me.

    I use (command + R to start) recovery mode and as a first step in disk utility, I couldn't format the new SSD in Mac OS x journaled, it just stopped at 50%.
    Then, I swapped the SSD for a normal (Non - SSD) hard drive, installed OS x on this drive without problem and formatted the SSD drive in disk utility on this new OSX on the HARD drive regularly after putting the SSD drive in an external enclosure.

    After that, I swapped for the formatted SSD HARD drive, but I still cannot install OSX. In disk utility from recovery mode it is said "not mounted" under the mount in the info Point. I tried the strength to mount it in a Terminal too, but it will not be displayed as installable disk mounted when you run OSX installation.

    Help greatly appreciated!

    The SSD will appear in disk utility when it is connected to the MBP via USB?  If so, format it in disk and Carbon Copy Cloner utility to copy the internal HARD drive to external SSD.

    When you are finished, test the SSD by starting the MBP with the option key down key, and then click the SSD.  If she starts the MBP, then swap in the MBP.  If it does NOT then the MBP, internal SATA cable is suspect and should be replaced.

    Ciao.

  • doesn't have a HDD with Win7 OEM, which has been improved to win 10 - No Media - how to install the new SSD?

    Hi members of the community.

    One of my colleagues brought me his personal computer to the difficulty.  It's a phone of 2011 which has Win 7 pre installed on it (OEM with a recovery partition).  It has no support for the version of Win 7 and she never bothered with the creation of recovery media or to order the installation media, but since its purchase, it has upgraded to Win 8, then 8.1 and finally Win10.

    Problem, it is the disk HARD watch of major equipment failures and every time you start more errors appear that problems are cascade.  There is a recovery on the HARD drive partition, but windows has trouble starting, I fear that this recovery partition is useless, because we don't want the windows reinstalled on this faulty drive.

    Can any advise if there is a way to install a windows OS on windows versions, that it has improved or the original win7 OEM supplied with the laptop without the media and with a damaged HARD drive?

    The hard drive that is damaged is a 750 GB drive at 5400 RPM samsung - she bought a new 980 GB SSD sata III.  I have already confirmed the laptop can use Sata III - I have a true picture and was curious to know if I can clone the recovery partition (if its still viable) can I do it on the SSD and then force the recovery on the SSD drive?  or that violate the license for OEM?

    Any advice would be appreciated, because I'm used to using volume licenses and I am new to OEM preinstalled OS damaged.

    Thank you very much

  • 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?

    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.

    Good luck

    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!

    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 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.

    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.

  • How to install msata in Ideapad Y580?

    Can anyone provide a step by step instructions how install the msata ssd in the Y580?

    I got my lenovo Y580 with a 1 TB HARD drive and I want to add the ssd msata for caching purposes only.

    Thank you.

    THIS IS APPLICABLE ONLY IF YOU ARE CONFIGURING YOUR SSD AS A CACHE CONFIGURATION.

    The msata SSD used is MyDigitalSSD 64 GB 50 mm Bullet Proof mSATA SSD - MDM-5064.

    I read a number of threads in the net regarding installing the msata SSD in their Y580 Lenovo. Intel Rapid Storage Tech (TSRI) does not work and it is not applicable to Y580, because the "Accélération" function is missing.

    Here are the steps below:

    -backup all your files and create a bootable disc just in case where it will fail.

    -Install the msata in the slot. You can access at the back of your laptop by opening the cover 2 holes in the back.

    -set the bios to AHCI and not compatible.

    -Start windows.

    -Download the software "VeloSSD" trial from softpedia 2.0.0.7 and do not update to 2.0.1.1 or newer version. Note that the velossd 2.0.0.7 works well with my system. However the latest version will prompt me with the error. I have already asked the support for this software because of the problem I'm having.

    -start and configure the software, but the limitation of the software is only up to 32GB. However, when you buy it for $9.99, you can set a larger cache size.

    -FACT-

    Now with my current setup of Y580, I can boot windows 7 within the 35secs from optimizer to start EA.
