HP Pavilion e8A85UA: HP Pavilion does not look at a new SSD as bootable

Hello Forum,

I have a laptop HP Pavilion model e8A85UA. It has a processor i7 with 8 GB of ram and 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM.

I tried to install a new Samsung 850 EVO SSD 500 GB instead of the old hard drive. I'm having serious problems, install any operating system on the new SSD and I think the new UEFI settings are to blame.

Here's how far I got. I can boot from a windows cd and start a new installation for the ssd that is recognized in the windows installation. However, when the pc restarts to complete the installation process of the SSD is not recognized as a boot device and I get an error 3f0. I tried everything in the bio to make it work. It does not recognize the new drive in the bios and only gives me the option "boot of the operating system manager".

I tried booting and installation in legacy mode, with the same results. Somehow this pc just does not recognize this device as bootable.

I tried cloning the old hard drive and all the partitions and boot with the same result. I tried cloning just the partition operating system with the same result. I tried to repair the pc from the windows disk after I tried both a new installation and installation of clone, same thing.

I put back the original hdd and everything starts as it should.

The SSD is also recognized when you set up windows, but it fails on rebooot. It is also recognized by USB when connected through an external sata.

It is on even with a new formatted SSD that the bios on the HP will let me install windows on it, or recognize the new ssd as bootable.

Any ideas?

See you soon,.

So after that 2 weeks to play with it, I finally understood what it was. I returned the original ssd, I bought and received a 2nd same thing Samsung 850 EVO. Formatted the drive, tried to install a version of windows, same question, wouldn't boot.

I took the pc at MicroCenter, where I bought it and they have free technical support. I showed them what was going on and that they had no ideas, but they said they would try to install windows for a fee, but if she doesn't they don't charge me, so I had nothing to lose at this point.

Tech called me two days later and said the disc was bad, he ran into the same issue. He took another SSD they had there and installed windows on it very well, he said.

So I returned the Samsung 850 EVO SSD with other supplier and bought a MX100 Crucial ssd 512 GB at home.

Installed the SSD and booted from my Windows Installer USB, installed just fine windows and worked like a champ. The only thing I can think is that Samsung has certain type of firmware on their SSD, at least that model, which is not compatible with my PC BIOS.

Anyway, if someone is facing the question that I just got, maybe try another brand SSD or a different model.

Hope this helps save someone pulling the hair of 2 weeks.

See you soon,.

    None found system means that there is no system installed on the SSD drive...

    What you trying to do?
    You start from a disk in order to install the new system?

    In this case, you should disable startup secure in the BIOS.

  • Acorn TV does not work on the new Apple TV

    So disappointed that the Acorn TV app does not work with the new Apple TV we just bought. We have subscribed on iTunes and nothing happens when you try to activate the software. We can look good on the MacBook, iPad and iPhone. Verified the purchase on iTunes account and that's fine. Contact Acorn and say it is a matter of Apple.

    Strange that I have to use Chrome to even write this question. Safari and hers do not work with the Support pages. I'll send in the comments.

    I'm resetting Apple TV now. We have been with the Apple TV since version 1. I hope that we can make this work!

  • folder on the external drive does not open in a new window

    on iMac OS 10.10.5, when I open a folder (by double-clicking) on an external drive, the folder does not open in a new window, but in a window that replaces the window that was opened.  I looked for a system setting that controls this (in system PREF), but I couldn't find anything useful.

    If you control - click the folder there is an option to open in a new tab. I don't know of anyway to set up in system preferences.

    iCloud music library has worked between my Mac, iPhone 6 and iPad Pro. However, it does not work on my new iPhone 7.

    When I try turn it off and on again, I do not get the merge or replace guest library that every site seems to say that I see.

    Hello

    Do you have also enabled the WLAN functionality by pressing FN + F8?
    Check it!

    In addition, I think the case is clear: the new wireless LAN card isn't compatible with Satellite A110.
    So in my opinion, you must use remove the new card Intel and install the old card that works fine in your laptop.

    The Podcasts app does not work on my new iPad mini 2.  All other applications work OK. Typed on the results of the icon in an almost empty screen, with just a few shaded options along the bottom that do nothing.  There is a sign more in the upper left corner, tapping brings up the URL of the podcast application.

    I wonder if I should delete and reinstall the App (how?)

    Well, the old farm and restart thing seems to have fixed.  Should try it before I posted.

  • My 10.2 final cut does not recognize my Lexar 512 ssd drive which is formatted for Mac Os journaled and completely empty

    My FCPX 10.2 does not recognize my Lexar 512 ssd drive,
    who is formatted for Mac Os journaled and completely empty (already formatted),
    He comes to see my ssd as an SD card once I click an import media.

    I had once FCPX 10.0.8 and with which I was able to edit with my external Lexar 512 GB SSD drive,
    that was seen as a normal external hard drive with all my projects and events.

    I'm not using Time Machine, never used.

    Any thoughts, why can't you do more?

    Hi YouMaCry,

    You have any records? or a USB recovery?

    If you cannot install an OS on your SSHD your SSHD can be defective, because it is reading it is cluster/bad sectors. A defective HDD/SSD/SSHD can still be detected (sometimes even when it is defective).

    To be sure contact Lenovo Support Center and ask them to send you your SSHD/unit in a get fully tested Lenovo the SSHD repair depot - and have defective parts repaired within a reasonable time!
