How to install an mSATA in W530 really?

I just bought a 500 GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSATA and would add to my W530 simply as an additional drive for extra storage space.

I found endless discussions on installation of such propulsion on laptops in general, as well as whether or not it works with the W530, but I can't find simple instructions for how to add the reader to this laptop in particular.

My W530 has 8 GB of RAM and a 1 TB drive standard with Windows 7. As I understand it, it is supposed to be a slot mSATA on this computer, add the SSD. However, I have no idea where he is and can not find instructions online for installation in the W530.

I did remove the adapter from the Center as well as the keyboard but find no obvious places to put this 2 x 1 inch piece. Only I see spaces in the center of the back, which are longer and I think are for extra RAM. Look under the keyboard, I see no space open to all.

Can someone please point me to a kind of installation guide step by step, if there?

Thank you!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to install Windows 10 on mac not supported

    Hi all

    I have a MacBook Pro 15 inch 2011 lag and I try to install Windows 10. I've tried 3 different methods. I can provide more information if necessary.

    I had running Windows for 10 minutes (2 reboots) until he got stuck on the screen to start due to an unknown error (probably error compatibility)

    I am currently give up and try to install Windows 7 instead, hoping that he'll be fine

    If any of you guys have any suggestions please tell me this is greatly appreciated!

    I am currently give up and try to install Windows 7 instead, hoping that he'll be fine

    I don't think that you can install Windows 7 with Boot Camp on El Capitan:

    • A Microsoft Windows installation media or disc image (ISO) containing a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 8 or later *.

    From: How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support.

    Windows 10 is simply too new for your Mac, and Windows 7 is too old. It is quite a difficult situation. If you really need Windows, you would need to get a copy of Windows 8, or put to level to an earlier version of Mac OS X with a version of Boot Camp that works in Windows 7.

  • Satellite A210-15Y - how to install Windows XP?

    I had Windows Vista and I improve it with Windows 7. Now, I really want to install Windows XP.
    When I put the Windows XP CD in after awhile I get a blue screen whit an error.

    pls tell how to install Windows XP on my laptop and if I need some drivers do pls put links of whereIi can get them.

    PS Sorry for the bad English

    Hello

    I think the problem is that you tried to install Win XP without installation of the SATA driver.
    The A210 need driver SATA to recognize the HARD drive.

    You can also check the BIOS settings. There should be an option called SATA mode.
    This can be set between AHCI and compatible and this will allows you to install the Win XP without the first installation of SATA drivers.

    Also check the other threads here in the forum on the same topic!

    PS: It is advisable to use Win XP including SP3! You can include the SP3 using nLite software!

    Hello

    I see that your computer should be a model from 2011. I could be wrong but HP computers once 2012 come with UEFI - I really don't know, but that's what I found on the Internet.

    If she says legacy, maybe it's just the BIOS that has no extension UEFI, or it coul be your BIOS/UEFI boot mode is set to Legacy mode

    Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is just the firmware code to a chip on the motherboard that provides additional functionality beyond the input/output system BIOS (Basic). UEFI is a way of doing things with your computer before loading the operating system. For example, UEFI can provide menus very graphics and information on a computer and a diagnostic system based on a computer and tablet. UEFI works with the BIOS to initialize the hardware before handing over control of the hardware of the operating system. UEFI can also load and display software storage devices to provide even more features, such as more detailed system information and extensive hardware diagnostics. More information:

    > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03801890

    > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04784866

    If your computer came with Windows 7 preinstalled originally, most likely your computer lacks UEFI because computers that came with 8 preinstalled Win and were supposed to be win 8 certified had UEFI + active SecureBoot.

    Regarding the original question, Apple Mac OS is only officially taken supported devices and hardware from Apple.

  • How to install Windows XP Home on my Satellite L500-1ZP?

    I formatted my Satellite L500-1ZP (PSLS9E) and thought DLI install win xp instead of win7 (do not have the disk/partition backup)
    now, when I start it with the cd of windows XP blue screen 'windows setup' inside start but when its finished loading, it gives me an error code:

    I read somewhere that I need to download SATA drivers for my laptop and do a disc to install windows xp with the SATA drivers on it?

    I tried to get these drivers, but I don't know that I have need and how to do the installation disc
    I copy my original windows XP Home cd and put the drivers in a folder somewhere on the disk?

    I hope someone can resolve my problem because the laptop is just over a year, and I don't really want to buy a new...

    I just hope that you created the recovery DVDs until you started to install own OS. After clean operating system installation you not longer have access to data recovery.

    You are right. For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, you need SATA driver. How to install Windows XP Home edition on the new laptop models that you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm

    In the end, I must say that your last sentence is pretty confusing to me. You bought the laptop designed for Win7 and you want to use the old WXP on this. Do you really think you need to buy the new laptop if you want to install Windows XP Home edition?

    How to install windows xp on core i3 processor

    You do not install Windows (of any variety) on a processor.  Install you it on a computer that has, among many other components, a processor.

    How to clean installation of Windows XP

    That being said, if what you really mean is that you have a new computer with a processor Intel Core i3 and you want to install Windows XP on it, even if the computer was initially provided with Windows 7 installed, you will need to determine if there are drivers available for all hardware devices various Windows XP on your computer, including chipset (motherboard) , sound card, video card, network card, etc, etc.  Chances are if it is a brand new, especially a laptop computer, there may be no XP drivers available.

  • How to install a downloaded vista themes

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • themes
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    This depends on the version and the number of the SP of Vista you use - some work, others do not (the limitations are in the article):http://www.ehow.com/how_5568892_install-desktop-theme-vista.html.

    Here is another procedure that was designed for Vista Basic, but I imagine it will work on other versions as well (and may work where the process above does not work):

    First download Windows Vista UxTheme patch.
    And follow these steps to install:
    Step 1: How to install
    1. log in as a user who has privileges - or - have administrative credentials ready (look under the keyboard for a piece of paper).
    2. navigate to %systemroot%\System32
    3 right-click uxtheme.dll, and then click Properties.
    4. appropriating the file and close the dialog boxes.
    5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll
    6. click uxtheme.dll and click Properties.
    7 give you (or group) permissions full control and close dialog boxes.
    8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll.
    9. Rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.old.
    10. Rename themeui.dll to themeui.old.
    11. Rename shsvcs.dll to shsvcs.old.
    12. copy the patches files into %systemroot%\System32
    13 reset (Yes, it is really necessary)

    Step 2:
    download a Visual Style of Windows Vista, and then copy the theme to the Windows/resources/Themes folder.
    Step 3: Right-click on the desktop and click on personalize. On the page which opens, click on theme and choose your newly installed theme!

    I hope at least one of these plans will help you with the installation.

    Good luck!
