• How to replace the hard drive with an SSD on a model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286

  Hello

  I would like to replace the hard drive on my model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286 with a disk solid state drive (SSD). First of all, I would like to know if this is possible. Second, what is the best way to do it? I'm under the Yosemite OS if that makes a difference.

  Here are some technical details of my current system:

  -MacBook Pro 15 inch, late 2011 model A1286

  -OS yosemite

  -16 GB of memory/RAM

  -Currently using stock HD

  All instructions step by step would be helpful with what software should I use to make backups of my current operating system (e.g., SuperDuper). I would also like to know what tools or material I need like type of screwdriver, cables to transfer data to the SSD, etc.. My goal is to not have to reinstall each app one by one on the SSD, but if that's the only way to do it then it's okay.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  You can see instructions OWC here. Tools are mentioned in the discussion (I used a plastic knife picnic with the stronger edge somewhat blunt for nylon pry tool). I suggest you invest in one of these external fences. Install the SSD in who and clone internally externally with CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. Then move the external drive of the internal drive after the start of the SSD in the external to confirm the operation.

  Recovery DVD does not give an option to partition the hard drive. You can create a new partition using disk management in Windows.

  Thanks in advance!

  For clean installation try to download Microsoft Media creation tool first. Using the tool, you can download a copy of the Win 8.1 installer. Save 8.1 only and not the PRO. During installation, the installation program does not the product key but it detect automatically your bios.

  You will need to place the ssd instead of the original location of the hard drive to boot successfully.

• Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD? or would it be too expensive?

  Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD?

  or would it be too expensive?

  Yes.  There are several alternatives.  I found a way relatively inexpensive, using a map of mSATA (very small SSD) and an adapter to connect it to the connector IDE 44 pin internal of my PowerBook.  It works very well.  Rather than repeat what I posted previously, you can watch these two topics (which also has good info, other users)

  Re: This win to install a SSD drive in a PowerBook G4?

  Re: SSDS  (my post is halfway - "this is how I did with my trusty Pismo...) »)

  FYI - I have used the adapter is even cheaper now

  How to replace a new drive hard satellite 1670cds
  do I have to remove the keyboard?
  wath is the GB limit

  Hi Theo,.

  HARD drive is mounted on your machine fest, and it is not easy to change. First you have to remove the keyboard, then view and top of page coverage too. If you want to do it yourself, be careful. If you do something wrong, it can be very expensive.

  It is not easy to say which is the limit of the HARD drive, but I'm sure you can use 10 GB with no problems. Try to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Perhaps, they can give you specific information.

  Good bye

  Hey guys,.

  I have a pc hp pavilion touch laptop 14, which has been having a defective hard disk that the operating system was not start and the system test indicated that the hard drive contained errors.
  
  I replaced the hard drive with a new one and before installing the hard drive I formatted with a win installation 8.1. I thought the laptop would just start normally to win8, but gave me a screen saying:

  boot device not found please install an operating system on drive hard drive (3f0)

  The hard drive is new and I did not not how its gives me this error!

  In addition, this laptop does not seem to boot from a cd to format!

  Any ideas?
  
  Thank you
  Karl

  Hey BHK6,

  I found out what was wrong! It was so simple!

  I just need to make the boot inherited from the bios, like that he started directly from the hard drive and does not need of any software pre installed HP to start.

  Thanks for your help anyway

• Hard drive with recovery partition failed, how do I restore Windows on the new drive?

  How can I get my sons pc working again?

  Hard drive failed and restore vista on a partition on the disk.  No backups.  Replaced the hard drive but obviously not Vista.  I have the genuine key.  Can I download the trial or something then activate with the existing key?

  Contact the manufacturer. They should provide you with recovery disks.

  How to recharge my hard drive with photos that are stored in iCloud?  After installing a new hard drive, there's no pictures found in the Photos, and I get this error, "could not find the picture of system library named"Library.photoslibrary Photos".

  Soon as your App Photos or iPhoto lost track of your photo library, or there has not been migrated from your old drive. You can create an empty library and probably enable iCloud photo library for photos to upload to the cloud.

• Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Nowsome keys on the keyboard no longer works.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

  Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Now some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

  Probably nothing, it's probably a fluke. Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM by iMac Intel SCM and reset the PRAM. If this does not work, try a USB keyboard to test, if it works then your original keyboard has failed and must be replaced.

• Re: Tecra A9 - 11M - replace the HARD drive with a larger

  I have a Tecra A9 - 11 M with Windows XP Professional installed. I would like to replace the hard drive with a larger drive and install Windows 7 Professional.

  Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?

  Difficulties to install Windows 7 on this model?

  Hey,.

  > Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?
  I assume you mean 500 GB and not 500MB, right? ;)

  Well, the Tecra A9 already supports SATA interface and there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface, so you can install a 500 GB HARD drive or more (750 GB, etc.). Just make sure that it s 2.5 SATA HDD.

  You can choose each brand of HARD drive because each model will not work. You can buy a Toshiba HDD, Western Digital HARD drive or another. No problem ;)

• Qosmio X 500 - 10W - can I replace the HARD drive with another?

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio X 500 - 10W with two drive HARD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500 GB 5400 RPM 8 MB? SATA II but is one of the hs so I'm wondering if I can be replaced by a more powerful style, drive HARD 750 GB 7200 RPM / min 16 MB Toshiba courses?

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Your question is a bit hard to understand, but I think you want to replace the HARD drive with another (faster) model, right?

  Well, that s no problem. 7200 RPM hard drives works, they are a little stronger, but they're faster so if you need more performance without problem.
  750 GB or more are also no problem because the SATA interface is not the limited capacity. Theoretically 1 TB or more should also work.

  Anyway, you can buy the 750Go you mentioned that it will work. :)
