HP EliteBook 8470P: simple exchange of ssd with hard disk?

I just bought a 1 t Samsung SSD 850 EVO 2.5 "SATA drive III to replace the hard drive in my Elitebook 8470P. Is that going to be just a simple swap where I remove the old hdd and plug the new ssd? That was the plan, but I have been wrong before passing.

I have 2 images of system backup if necessary.  I disabled the auto Defrag in my security software. I am completely new to ssd and would have had to ask this before I dropped a bundle on one, but it is what it is. Any help is appreciated.

Hello

It is possible and I hope that your backup image is appropriate.

Kind regards.

  • Qosmio X 70-B-10 t does support SSD or HARD disk?

    Hello

    my name is Christian.
    I'm going to buy a new laptop and I decide for the new Qosmio X 70-B-10 t (game).

    I have a question: I don't understand if the laptop is equipped with a single HARD disk or an SSD.
    Then, I would like to know if there is a single hard drive (HHD or SSD) or two (for example a HARD disk and a SSD).

    Thanks for the answers and sorry for my English!

    See you soon
    Christian

    Hello

    The Qosmio X 70-B-10 t was equipped with a 2.5 SATA 1 TB drive HYBRID SSHD (8 GB SSD flash memory).

    Hybrid disk HARD is a mixture of HDD and SSD drive part is the hard drive and another part (in this case 8 GB) is a flash memory.

  • Activation problem with hard disk containing Vista deleted from a computer dead and installed in a work computer.

    Problem: HP laptop with Vista installed suffers an untimely death. The installed hard drive with Vista is still OK. Hard disk has been removed from the HP laptop and then installed in an old Dell laptop. Windows Vista is complaining that Vista is not valid and must be activated. I get the activation from valid product key and the activation utility responds with an error 0xC004E003 code and will not activate. Microsoft does not support chat or e-mail for Vista and I can not even a phone number to talk to a human being. I think I should be able to remove Vista from a computer and run it on another without Microsoft having a problem with it. What should I do for this? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

    Property to true. An OEM Vista license does "die with the computer. Conditions of licence for the version of Windows 8 have changed compared to the terms for the most comparable Windows 7 or Vista or XP. In my opinion, the terms are now even more restrictive, more or less.

    Good luck exploring alternatives to the BONE. Some Linux distributions are well worth a visit. Ubuntu, Suse and Mint are quite simple to install on a wide range of material. I'm not familiar with the Apple/Mac or Android offers, but many speak well of them.

    Calculation of the happy.

  • SSD or HARD disk replacement DVD - Satellite A200-13R

    Hello

    I wonder if there is someone who has already tried to remove his portable DVD Player Series Satellite A200 and put a 2nd HDD or SSD drive in there? I'm about to get rid of Vista OEM and install W7 I wanted first of all to backup all important data. But reader isnot DVD from Toshiba to work at all (it was never work in my laptop) so I'll have to boot and install the new system of USB.

    So, do you think you could remove the guts of DVD drive metal case and 2nd disc HDD or SSD in there?
    Thanks for any advice.
    Pavol

    > But DVD from Toshiba reader isnot nothing works...
    And why don't you replace it? Where is the problem?
    > So, do you think you could remove the guts of DVD drive metal case and 2nd disc HDD or SSD in there?
    As far as I know that something like this is not possible. In the latest Toshiba offered that option for several models of business only. With special HARD drive adapter, it was possible to do.

    On your Satellite A200, something like this is not an option.

  • Something wrong with hard disk resizing

    I'm under 4.1.2 and you just import my Windows 7 Bootcamp machine into a true virtual computer.  I ran out of disk space while trying to install new software in Windows so I stopped and went settings to resize the virtual disk.  While the machine of Bootcamp was 30 GB the setting for the new machine watch as GB 465,76, which is be the size of the Lion partition on the hard drive.  Knowing it's not right and something can happen when importing, I tried shrinking the machine by following the process here.  No dice, my machine stills shows the drive as being 465,76 GB and I can't do the 60 GB I would.  I'm afraid to try anything else without posting everything here first.  Any tips or ideas on what I am doing wrong?

    What you see is the (although IMO the wrong) way that VMware matter partition Boot Camp to a Virtual Machine however based file so that you can not reduce the allocated virtual hard disk size but you can change the size of the virtual partition to increase the space available on the disk by removing the not used OS X in the virtual hard disk partition.

    For general information, take a look at my answer: Re: counterintuitive VMWare Instructions on resize virtual disk

  • EliteBook: 1 2 slots available SSD of EliteBook 8570w does not

    Hi all

    I have a 8570w EliteBook using default HHD and bought 500 GB SSD value in one of two existing readers. I recently bought a second SSD to the second location available, but I can't seem to have it working (I place the SSD in the slot and all fine adjustments, but the system does not recognize).

    Things, I've tried so far without success:

    -Diskpart, miniTool Partition Wizard of Samsung

    -Exchange the old SSD with a new one. New starts working while old stops working (which to me points out to a housing problem)

    -Pic attached, with the (green) SSD slot and no working crack (red) - regardless if I change the SSD

    is - it does not not by design? Is there a place where I have to put me on? Is there something we can do about it?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Kind regards

    GS

    Hello

    Sorry, I have to say: this slot (red) is for the WWAN card, not for a second SSD and no way you can install it on the SSD on it because not all PCIe slots are the same.

  • EliteBook 8470p: remove the custom logo of 8470p - using EREPLOGO. EFI

    I just bought a used HP EliteBook 8470p who I am in reconstruction.

    The previous owner (who I didn't contact) changed the POST logo screen, appearing briefly at startup to display a political statement - I want to remove and restore the default the HP Logo.

    HP (702342-001, created in June 2012) technical white paper, I determined the following high level steps:

    -I'm running BIOS 2012 generation specifications

    -The EREPLOGO of HP. EFI utility is required to make the changes by using the option "ereplogo /e.

    -J' I run the EREPLOGO. Utility of EFI "EFI Boot file" option in the Menu "Startup Options".

    Questions please:

    Is this still the correct way to implement this change?

    The white paper and the SoftPAQ containing the utility (sp58176.exe) are both dated 2012. Here is the latest version available? That is 4 years old!

    Thank you.

    For those interested, I managed to solve the problem that I came with the help of this EREPLOGO. The EFI utility.

    The utility is available for download in the software and drivers for my device (HP EliteBook 8470p) Web page and I followed the steps described in the technical documentation that accompanies the download. Crime (in this case) logo has been removed by the use of a control subject via the EFI Shell to start setting switch.

    So yes, it's getting a little old, but the utility worked perfectly on my system BIOS UEFI.

    Thanks HP!

  • 8470p: Elitebook 8470p help install XP

    Hello

    I need help.

    I want to install Win XP 32 bit on my Elitebook 8470p, which came with Win8. I need to do a clean XP install on the laptop.

    If anyone can help me please you through the steps necessary to install XP on this laptop?

    I have a bootable CD with installation of XP, I start the installation but the laptop freezes at the "Setup starts windows" and displays the BSOD with acpi.sys inside.

    I tried many options in the BIOS, like disabling AHCI and activation IDE mode and a lot of other options, but no one allows to go beyond this error.

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    Set the drive controller setting in the BIOS to AHCI.

    Also enable the legacy mode in the BIOS, that must disable secure boot.  XP is not compatible with secure startup.

    Then read the info at the link below, section of Intel.  Then read the info on the downloadable document for how to integrate all the sata drivers.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-system-and-recovery/SATA-drivers-for-XP-solution-on-0x0000007B-BSOD/m-p/114120#M17758

    Machine installation installation clean Windows, restarted etc. I then installed the drivers, restarted etc. Have a windows index score and I was immediately impressed by the 7.9, but...

    The laptop won't start. Right after that the first portable screens it just stops at a black screen where it should show the logo "windows". I put the original hard drive in and the machine starts very well and I put the M4 in my office and it begins to start.
