HP ENVY 17 - 3070NR: cloned OS of the HDD to the SSD.

Hello

I have an old laptop HP Envy 17 (3070nr). A few days ago I installed a Samsung SSD (750 GB) 840 evo in Bay 2 and cloned the OS from the primary HARD disk, which has 3 separate partitions (750Go - Hitachi). Then, any drive (HDD or SSD), I connect to bay 2, it does not appear in the bios or windows disk management.  The two drives (SSD and HARD drive) to start windows until they are installed in the first Bay that is Bay 1. What could be the problem, it has completely baffled me.

Your help would be very appreciated. Thank you.

Kind regards

Hello

They have some kind of signature so work only on the main Bay. I normally

(a) mount the old HDD to ANOTHER computer using external enclusure

(b) to move all the files users

(c) re - format and merge partitions,

(d) put to the second span.

(e) working on it like a new HARD drive.

Kind regards.

    The best consumer SSD there is a Samsung 850 Evo. It will have the same physical dimensions as a hard drive. 2.5 inches wide and 7 mm thick. A 7mm form factor fits anywhere the will of 9.5 mm. The connectors and mounting holes are in the same places so that they are interchangeable.

  • HP ENVY 17-j101ex - replace the SSD HARD drive

    Hello

    I have HP ENVY 17-j101ex, with the standard configuration: 2 x 1 TB drive HARD 5400 RPM SATA. I want to buy 1 SSD drive and replace the first (boot) hard disk drive. I don't know if it works or not.

    I want to buy a SSD Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB SATA III (MZ-7TE250BW), 2.5 ", dimensions: 100 x 69 x 7 mm

    I have to: 1 x 1 TB HARD drive (as a secondary drive) + 1 x 250 GB SSD SATA3 (as your startup with system disk)

    Is this ok?

    I found some info, that:

    Supports a 6.35 cm (2.5 in) 300 GB or 160 GB SSD (SSD) drive in 7, 0 - mm (. 28 - in.) thick

    Supports 6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard disks to 12.7 mm (. 50-in) and a height of 9.5 mm (. 37 - in)

    Is it not this Samsung SSD too big?

    I also found information on envy 17 series, which:

    Supports the following single hard drive/solid-state drive combination configurations:
    ● 1-TB, 5400-rpm, 12.7-mm hard drive × 1 + 300-GB solid-state drive
    

    and also:

    NOTE: Supports RAID-0 as default for all dual hard drive/solid-state drive combination configurations.
    

    So, first of all should I disable RAID-0?

    Thank you for your help and sorry for my English

    In fact, I have the same model laptop PC series. You will have no problem replacing the mechanical main hard drive with an SSD. The Evo to Samsung 250 Gig is a very good choice. I suggest you get cloning software, put the SSD in the second slot, start from cloning software and copy (clone) the startup disk for the SSD. You'll slim down the contenst of the diskette of starting less than 250 concerts to achieve, but you can store files off to the second disk of 1 TB in the process. There are other ways to do this post if you have any questions.

    Here is a video showing how to install the hard drive.

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=wx3dMGXrGCc

    RAID-0 is supported, but you wouldn't want as a second hard drive with an SSD. If your readers are appearing as volumes of letters separated in 'the PC' or 'Computer' then RAID-0 does not exist and you shouldn't have to do any disorder in the BIOS.

    Hey, Chris:

    Sorry, there is no LAN/WLAN switch in the BIOS of envy.

    I doubt that the wireless assistant will do anything.

    What is manage your wireless devices, but what do you have to lose by trying?

    Most likely, it is not a program that is supported on your PC, this is why it is not listed.

  • Nine (3 days out of the Box) HP Envy 700-230qe automatically restarts after the initial boot...

    I have now a whole new desktop 700-230qe HP Envy (after about a month in the loop of the HP Technical Support).  But again, I have problems.  I took late delivery December 23, 2013.  After giving him enough time to become the temperature of the room, I opened the box and replaced my old HP Pavilion h8 - 1210t with envy again desktop computer.

    Took my time and made sure that everything is properly connected - then pushed the power button.  Everything seemed to work perfectly - until what the brand 20 minutes - when the system powered off and rebooted itself.  But for the rest of the session, everything went well - no problem.  It was Monday night.

    On Tuesday morning (December 24, 2013 - on Christmas Eve), I pushed the power button once again and the system started fine.  But 20 minutes later, it turned off and rebooted itself.  But for the rest of the day everything went well - even if I had to make several reboots all reinstall my applications and migrate my data.  I started to wonder if I still had problems.

    Christmas day (December 25, 2013) is the same thing.

    And once again on Thursday (December 26, 2013) - I finally called HP Technical Support.  I spoke with a gentleman (Terrence) - he accessed remotely my system which makes me nervous (but these guys of Nova Scotia are very good and are savvy customers.  He looked around - ran MalWareBytes and CCleaner - and said that he saw nothing thaat would be a problem.  We agreed to wait a day and see what would happen.

    Rolled Friday autour and you'd know it's the same thing.  Then, I called HP Tech Support and spoke to a lady (Norma) who, after having read the file of description of situation and asking me my name, phone number, email address (which they ask you every time you call - you would think they write this stuff and keep it on file), she immediately decided that the best thing to do is to 'Recreate the IMAGE' on my drive - to which I replied 'NO WAY '.  This seems to be the standard response, if they can't fgure out - recreate the image on your disk.  They don't seem to care about all the work you put into the construction of our system with applications with associated and all data - they want to just Blow-It-Away.

    It made me so angry that I have immeddiately contacted my case manager company HP with the history.  These people - business - case do an excellent job, at least the one I did a great job.  And I know she'll get to the bottom of this situation and go to a happy camper.

    Anyway, if anyone has the same problems with their machine - I'd be interested.

    Kind regards

    I did not read all the answers, but what my qestion... Why are you screwing around? HP has a 21-day return policy, so you can ask them to replace it with the same model or another model as they will send you a FEdEx shipping for a full refund or Exchange label. I wouldn't waste my time with a question like this on a new computer.

  • HP Envy 4500: HP Envy 4500 - photo print half off the page. Print very well.

    All of a sudden, my HP Envy 4500 failed to print all the images; documents continue to print OK.  For photos, the printer acts like it's works fine to start, but print only about half of the photo on the paper - it seeks to print the rest on the back of the photo a lot of ink rollers...

    Research forums, this is the EXACT problem I have:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/inkjet-printing/HP-envy-4500-prints-only-half-of-the-photo/TD-p/3781222

    I have uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, try to print from a different computer, laptop and even tried what was suggested in the post above - to copy a picture of the scanner on the printer itself.  Who printed still only half of the picture...

    The consensus from the link above was a hardware problem.  My printer is no longer under warranty, so unless there is another thing I can try I will buy a new printer.   This one isn't worth it for me to pay to ship somewhere to remedy.

    Any last suggestions until I have this gift to local traffic (with a note that it only prints documents)?

    You can contact HP customer care to find out what service or the recovery options are available. Check the model number and the form to receive a file number for faster assistance.

  • Replacement of the SSD for HP Envy 15-J160!

    Hello! I want to change my hard drive in my HP Envy 15-J160, a new SSD. It will work with any SSD? Anything else I should be thinking? There are no guide for this on my specific model?

    Thank you in advance!

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See page 45. Yes, you can replace the hard drive with an SSD. Don't know what your budget may be, but here is a page showing all sizes of Samsung 850 Evo:

    http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-inch-internal-MZ-75E500B-am/DP/B00OBRE5UE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1444600313&SR=8-1&keywords=Samsung+850+Evo+500

    You should get at least one concert 250 and preferably a 500 gig. The old disk can be copied (duplicated) in the new SSD, or you can use the HP recovery discs.

    Simply connect the SSD drive exactly like a hard drive. There is nothing you need to do for the BIOS or anything else unusual. Just plug in, install the software and go.

  • HP dv7-6b50eb: HP recovery launches the cloned SSD, impossible to install win7 on the SSD.

    Hello

    I recently bought an SSD to accelerate my HP DV7. So I tried to clone my previous 1 TB to my 250 GB SSD hdd, but it seems that it's quite simple. :-(.

    I have created the exact same partitions (with the same size, orders, except for my main Windows partition type of course being given my SSD is much smaller) on the SSD as on my old Hdd. After that I made an exact copy of each 3 partitions (HP Recovery partition, system and tools Hp) but instead of copying the windows partition, I left a void on the SSD as the size of the Windows on the old hard drive partition is larger (the data) than the available size on the remaining on the SSD partition. I thought that I could boot on the SSD drive and start the restore process to install Win7 on the empty partition. But when I restart the pc, it does not seem to recognize the boot SSD partition, he prefers not to say "No operating system found".

    I also tried to activate the 3 partition directly (which is the recovery partition) to directly on boot as the partition, but it did not work either. The partition to activate before it was the 1st partition (which is the SYSTEM partition), but he has not worked either.

    Can someone help me do that cloning to work?

    FYI, I did the cloning and the creation of the partition using fdisk and dd on ubuntu.

    Thank you.

    Hi Wawood and Mista B,.

    Thanks for your comments I have a previous message, but strangely I have not found trace of the previous message, maybe I forgot to press the 'POST' button:-s.

    In any case, I was thinking that I understand your remarks Wawood but my goal isn't specifically for the windows on my new SSD partition (not interested in reducing the windows partition, it is just a statement), it was ok for me to any re - install from the recovery partition, a windows 7 from scratch.

    And I'd say Mista B by saying that it would have been stupid HP do not allow someone to use the recovery on the same pc partition, just because it has a different hard drive.

    Finally, I managed to do what I wanted to for those who are interested (HP is not so stupid after all:-p), here's the method I used to clone my hard drive of 1 TB to my 250 GB SSD and keep all the native HP (recovery, hp_tools, System) partitions with a 1 TB hard drive works correctly.

    So what I have is:

    -J' put the SSD as a second drive on my laptop (I guess it should work in the same way if connected by USB)

    -J' I started my pc and downloaded the EaseUs partition master

    -J' ran the program and began by doing a thorough cleaning of the SSD

    -J' made a copy of the system partition of my hard drive of 1 TB to my SSD

    -J' made a copy of the partition my hard drive of 1 TB HP_TOOLS to my SSD

    -J' made a copy of the recovery of my 1 TB hard drive partition to my SSD

    -J' created a new empty NTFS partition in the remaining partition

    I'm done with the same exact score as agenda in my 1 TB HDD.

    1. THE SYSTEM

    2 NTFS empty

    3 recovery

    4.HP_TOOLS

    After that my SSD was not bootable, because the MBR has not yet been copied.

    Then I started a live CD of Ubuntu and I installed boot-repair and he ran.

    I chose the advanced options and set set the mbr and boot from the partition 3.

    I then put the partition recovery (partition 3) as being ACTIVE.

    I removed the hard drive of 1 TB of the laptop (to avoid any error during execution of recovery which ends with the recovered 1To:-p) beeing and replaced it with the SSD.

    I then rebooted the laptop and it starts directly on the recovery partition. I finished in the recovery strategy (I could not choose the recovery from an earlier point in time given that the windows partition is empty (no windows backup)).

    I chose over the full restore, the slight recovery with only OS and drivers and it does the job of recovery. Now that the of what I write this resolved thread :-).

    Hope this helps some people out there with the same questions.

  • The HP Envy 17 laptop Quad t allows the base to extend HP xb3000 (docking station)?

    I got a HP Pavilion dv9000 for about 7 years and use it at home with the HP xb3000 expansion base that has USB connections as well as the Altec Lansing speakers like the laptop.  A connector on the base of extension plugs into the connector on the expansion of the Port 3 on the Pavilion dv9000 and it has always worked very well. It allows additional hard disks must be installed in the base of the expansion, but I have not used this option.

    I recently bought a HP Envy 17 quad t laptop with Beats Audio speakers.  It doesn't have a connector of the expansion Port 3, so I was wondering if there is any type of connector/adapter allowing the HP xb3000 expansion base be connected to and used with the HP Envy 17 T.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thank you and have a great day!

    Hello

    Envy has no expansion port so the base is useless in your case. A few other products that use the USB port would be useful.

    Kind regards

    is it right in place for shipping?

    Thank you

    Hi there @junior19805,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!  I understand that you ask a withdrawal of the graphics card of mounting brackets for better circulation of air.  I'm happy to help you with this.

    There are a few problems with this. First support firmly maintains the card in place in its decision to maintain a good connection and prevent the flow of the socket. Second, although it may seem intuitive abduction, counter to the back plate of the computer can actually hinder the cooling system, as the positioning of various fans and admission of eaves, are often designed to channel air flow, so it travels on the components that most need cooling.

    All that being said, you can always try it and see if there is an improvement in your case, but the possibility of a graphic intermittent connection is going to be a matter of concern

    Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.
