I bought a 128 GB SSD for my HP computer. Use of recovery on this disc?

My current HARD drive works fine, but I wanted the advantage of speed of installation of the operating system and programs on an SSD.  I tried using the recovery on the SSD disks and he got all the way to the final, but could not go beyond the part of copy of file - I let it run all night.  How can I use the recovery disks on this drive to upgrade?  It is 128 GB, which is plenty of space for the two partitions as well as data from full recovery.

You are welcome.

The only way I know not if it is to find someone who has a Dell Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OEM reinstallation disk or a classic OEM installation disc.

Use to install the operating system.

When you go to activate (if you use a Dell disk), you will get an activation error and you get prompt to change the product key. When you do that, you can enter the product key on your PC and it should turn very well.

You can usually find these discs on eBay if you don't know someone with a Dell PC with the same OS as yours.

Except the cheapest one I see on eBay right now to buy now, it's this one.  $40.00.

You can bid on them if you want to wait for this process.

You may be better of buying an OEM installer with the key. ($100)  Use your license on your HP.

You will then have a license with the drive to another PC, if you need one of the one you bought.

  • am I missing something? 128 GB SSD for $550

    http://www.NCIX.com/products/index.php?SKU=31291&VPN=OCZSSD2%2D1C128G&manufacture=OCZ%20Technology

    It is undesirable or some kind of a marage?

    EDIT: I guess that this is the reason...

    How have you managed to get the price so low on the Core Series?
    The biggest obstacle to the adoption of the SSD was the price, and we explored ways to bring down the price without sacrifices in performance. With the Core Series SSD drives are able to take advantage of the lower cost multi-level cell technology in a multichannel configuration and when coupled with the new proprietary firmware, we can optimize the speed while simultaneously reducing the cost. Previous issues, with the assistance of technology MLC in limited SSD write speed, reducing overall performance than below current high speed hard drives, with the base set is more a problem.

    I don't know what is this (multi-level cell technology)? can anyone offer input?

  • Satellite M30: Cannot use the recovery CD - this isn't for my unit?

    Hello

    I have a toshiba am and when I tried the recoery cd, a prompt comes out saying that the recovery cd is only for toshiba M30... which is what I have!
    The cd came with the laptop and I've used it before without a problem.
    Can someone tell me what the problem with my laptop?

    Thank you.

    Hmm maybe the DMI contains the name of the laptop bad.
    In this case, recovery cannot be installed because the notebook believes the recovery for a laptop CD.

    In this case, you should ask the service point for the update of DMI

  • Windows preparing for a first computer use whenever it starts

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L500, and I have everything installed ok.

    He was going great for age, and then one day I messing around in the OOBE folder in system32, cause I wanted to change my logon screen image.

    and while I was in there I clicked on Setup.exe, and I didn't know what it was...

    It came with the windows installer, and I had to use the Task Manager to exit out of it.

    I turned my computer off later,

    the morning that I turned around and after the windows loading screen, it came with "windows prepares a computer for first use.

    and I said to myself shit. and after that he came to a screen like after u get first and the installation files are made.

    He asks me what I want to call my pc, it was originally timboy67678, but he calls bob - pc as it said that timboy67678 was already running, so I clicked on continue and FORTUNATELY he did only an additional profile, has not replaced my original user.

    so I changed my name to timboy67678 and everything was ok, I deleted the account of bob - pc. then stop.

    later, I turned it back on and after the loading screen, it came with "windows prepares a computer for the first use.", but he went into the log on screen after that.

    everything looks ok, except that "windows is preparing a computer for first use" occurs whenever I start my computer, and sometimes, when I install a new program, some of them say licsensed to pc of bob again even if I changed it.

    Any help would be MUCH appreciated

    I don't want to talk negatively about a manufacturer's product, but it is a fact that we saw a few compatibility issues raised here on the Forum about an old series of SSD Crucial, the MX which is not what you're asking about. I have used other than the MX series Crucial SSD successfully, but they are not my first choice. Crucial is a very reputable company and will remain fully behind their product. If they say it is compatible you aren't risking anything to try it.

  • MacBook Pro 128 GB SSD storage

    What can I expect from the 128 GB ssd storage in terms of size of the OS and Microsoft office installed as well as software, very simple that I need for my daily use. will it be enough, or should I go for the 256 GB. On the other hand is the pro storage (model 2015) macbook upgrade possible (future upgrade of storage higher)?

    If you store large amounts of data, it is preferable to use an SSD with a different drive.

    the SSD should contain your OS applications and kernel, but if you are working with smaller text documents, spreadsheets and PowerPoints on the SSD storage do not have a lot to worry about and you can use data optimally with the speed that the SSD offers on HARD drive.

    If you work with raw files of creative cloud, hi-res photography, video, Audio recording, a lot of family photos or a great iTunes collection consider a second disc more to keep these files on your SSD.

    You can install an SSD that fits, but more large size disks are replacements for what you put there so you cannot pass a 128 'largest capacity SSD' than it is currently, you must purchase a 256 or 512 or 1 to and remove your 128 system.

  • Please recommend an SSD for Toshiba Satellite C660D-10W

    Hi people

    I'm looking for a recommendation for an SSD for my laptop, Satellite C660D-10W

    I want to perform a clean build - I have a new licensed copy of Windows 10 Pro.

    I bought a disc of Kingston after some research online, but subsequently discovered Kingston declaring that they do not support the use of this device in my laptop.

    Toshiba customer support put me on "Topaz", which recommended product + service (though not an SSD!) cost more than 250 pounds. For that price I can get a replacement of like-for-like of the laptop under warranty!

    I'm looking for a simple option where I can buy a SSD and do the installation myself. 250 GB to 500 GB for the region of £60ish.

    Thoughts?

  • 750 - 177C envy: addition of Samsung SSD for envy 750-177C

    I just bought a HP Envy 750-177c. I have it operational and it works very well. I had installed a Samsung 850 EVO SSD in my old computer and now want to add to it. I have an external cloning device that I can plug it into the computer and launch the software from Samsung to clone the HD HP. Once this is done, I will be able to add the SSD to the drive Bay and make the boot drive. I did all these steps with my old computer, so I think that it will be substantially the same with the RESUME. I wonder if there is any change in the BIOS, that I should do to get the best performance from the drive. I also heard AHCI. Is selectable via the BIOS with Windows 10, or do I have to make some changes by Reg Edit? I need to download a driver AHCI? Is this useful?

    Thanks for the tips.

    Robb

    Hi @RobbL!

    When it comes to SSD, I suggest you to activate the AHCI because it often improves performance when it comes to SSDS (and not only - if you are running an SSD and a HARD disk HARD drive will get some push), and it offers a few additional features like connection hot records.

    You can activate it by following these steps:

    * Let the connected existing boot drive.
    * Go to MSCONFIG and set the PC to boot in safe mode.
    * Power cycle your PC all the way to the top in safe mode then power down in safe mode.
    * Turn on and boot into the BIOS and enable the AHCI and disable secure boot. Save the changes.
    * Restart your PC. If OK at this stage then return to MSCONFIG and uncheck start safe mode and save the changes.
    * Turn on your PC and if OK then power off.
    * Connect the new SSD and power upward.
    * Use the cloning software to clone the old disk on the new SSD.
    * Switch off the PC. Disconnect the old drive and plug the new SSD in this SATA port.
    * Lights up and you should be good to go.

    Regarding the drivers, you can take a look at this article from HP on the SSD:

    I try to see if the bios SATA. But there is no option for me to do.

    What can I do? Help, please.

    You are the very welcome.

    If your laptop comes with English, french or Spanish version of W7 and you can read all 25 characters of the product key of W7 on the bottom of your laptop and do your own installation of W7 media.

    Here's how...

    Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a DVD or a 4 GB flash drive using the USB compilation method.

    Use the product key of windows 7 of 25 characters to activate your installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below. Download the Windows 7 version that is on your product (Home Premium, professional or ultimate) key to apply.  SP1 Refresh of media files are the latest ISO files.

    I wish I could tell you what sata mode is on your laptop, but I can't.

    Some dv7 it have to AHCI, and some have RAID. It depends on the series.

    For example, the model dv7-4000 series of this person has been on ahci.

  • Hard drive not detected after adding 2nd mSATA SSD for HP Envy 14 1002tx

    Hello

    I'm having a problem when adding an extra mSATA SSD for my HP Envy 1002tx model.

    The laptop comes with a 500 GB HARD drive and I see that there is a 2.5 "mSATA SSD slot under the HARD drive, so I bought the same type of SSD and installed it but when I turn on the laptop, it does not introduce yourself. I don't know why?

    I want to have an SSD for boot up the laptop and HARD drive to store animals.

    If anyone knows if there is any software I have to install in order for the laptop to recognize the SSD?

    OR

    Is - this material is defective?

    Thank you in advance!

    I'm really sorry, I could not find this before, but the slot under the hard drive is not compatible with the mSATA disks. It's for WWAN modules! Your laptop is not like 4 I thought, but Envy 14 equipped with the first generation of Intel processors. Envy 14-Sandy Bridge 2000 series could be BIOS modded to make the miniPCI-e interface works with the mSATA disks but Envy 14-1000 series is not possible to change.

    Edit: 2.5 "drive 256GB solid state drive is listed as compatible.

  • HP Envy 15 J 048 tx: mSATA SSD for HP Envy 15 J 048 tx

    Hello!

    I have a HP Envy 15 J048-tx. I want to add an mSATA SSD on my PC and be able to boot from it all by using the HARD drive as internal storage device only. The goal is to make the system run faster (overall and games).

    I don't want to change the HARD drive as more large SSD storage capacity are quite expensive and adding an mSATA as disk startup seems to be a cheaper alternative. Current storage capacity of the PC is 1 TB and a 1 TB SSD will fix me by about 34 000 INR (which is a lot), while adding a 250 GB mSATA is about 7-8 000 INR and 500 GB is 12-13 000 INR. Already, I have a lot of external hard drives and do not want to reduce the storage capacity of integrated system, because that would be to buy more external hard drives.

    The PC came with Windows 8. Other details are

    1. Motherboard: Intel HM87 (revision of Southbridge - C2), 1963 HP (U3E1)
    2. BIOS: F.65
    3. Intel Core i7 4700MQ
    4. Storage: SATA-II 3.0 Gb/s
    5. RAM: 16 GB DDR3

    The product manual indicates this (pg 5 or pdf pg 13): Support for SSD drive 24-GB mSATA (not available on computer models with memory system 16834 - or 12288 MB)

    Contact HP support on twitter and got this response from there : supports 24GO mSATA (not available on models with 16834-MB system memory or 12288 MB) this should work, but the HP recovery media may not work to install, it may fail, the portion of due to the small size of disk partitioning.

    There seems to be an empty slot for the mSATA, but I can't remove the lid more as I don't have the tools for the same. (pictures attached)

    This post on the HP Support says that - the mSATA cannot be used for the operating system and that it is for the acceleration of a regular mechanical hard drive.

    Then there was this post for HP envy 15-j003tx touchsmart which mentions that it is possible to do it with a link on Laptopmag article for the same thing that got me a little confused.

    I also checked with my digital discount and the PC is not listed in the list of compatible devices. However, after going through the comments, I found there were people with any queries similar to me (but for different computers HP) and found this disc , which seems to be compatible. I thought I'd go with 128 GB one but don't know not then sought more. Then I scanned the PC using crucial.com and found these discs to be compatible too (250 GB & 500 GB).

    My questions:

    1. My PC is compatible with most mSATA SSD storage size?
    2. If so, that we go? 500 GB we have any extra advantage or a 256 GB disc will solve the purpose?
    3. The steps mentioned in the article of laptopmag need any changes?

    Images of the system after the opening of the back cover (1 & 2):

    You can add something big, but for 24 concerts for acceleration purposes are sufficient. If you can't find a 24 concert, you can use a 32. Any more than that would be wasted for pure acceleration. The accelerator contains the contents of the memory for a quick recovery from his sleep and also holds start-up files and then the .exe files for the programs that you frequently open like saying the browser or email.

    You can use a larger disk, repeat a 64 or 128 and let the Intel Rapid Storage create say a 30 GB partition for acceleration. The partition of the accelerator is not ntfs, or anything else Windows can be used as a storage device. You can then use the rest of the disc as a storage called disk formatted FAT32 or ntfs. If you do something like Photoshop or video editing it would give you a place to put work files that could be accessed and processed very quickly. But you can not use this partition as a startup or a Windows partition and it would take much diligence to prevent fill.

    If you decide to take the post of reader of acceleration from the establishment requires a configuration that is not totally intuitive.

  • How does the predator AG3 used together the 128 GB ssd and hard drive 2 TB

    I am considering buying a predator AG3 at Costco.  It comes with a 2 TB HDD and ssd 128 b.  How the system is used both in combination?  The ssd is only for boot?  Windows will be on the SSD.  The system will know to go on the HARD disk for programs not on the SSD drive?  I have no experience using a system with two disks of a different type.

    SSD is usually used as installation of the OS and some heavy load programs (editing - audio - video)

    HARD drive is used as data storage or install programs of large size (for most games).

    System does not know where you want to install it that way, he asks during installation

    example of

    C:\Program Files\gamenameXYZ

    You can tell the installer to use instead of C: on SSD HARD drive, so you will change from C to D (if your HARD drive is D: letter of the system)

    D:\Program Files\gamenameXYZ
