• How to change the Satellite L670D-103 using new SSD 80 GB HARD drive?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L670D-103 with a 320 GB HARD drive running at 5400 RPM which is too slow for me.

  So I plan to change this factory by a new SSD HDD to increase the performance of the overall system :)

  But as the SSD are expensive, I have only a 80 GB SSD.

  I built the recovery on a USB media and I want to use it to restore my system to the new SSD (I previously did the space needed to ensure that all data can be stored on my new SSD 80 GB space; p)

  Retrieving SSD partitioning new procedure is done without error, but when copying image to restore data to freshly created the partition, one not enough space error stop the process!

  It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb).

  So, how can I restore mysystem on my new SSD?

  Thank you
  Stéphane.

  > It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb)

  To my knowledge, you have different recovery options:

  (* 1) * recovery of factory default software

  (a) recovery to out of box state
  (b) recovery without changing the HARD drive partitions
  (c) recovery of a custom size partition

  (* 2) * "erase the HARD drive.

  I think that if you choose factory default software recovery of-> recovery to out of box state then the recovery would create exactly the same size of partition on the new SSD which were available on the 320 GB HARD drive.
  I think this might be the reason why you have received this message.

  Perhaps you need to choose the 3rd option Recovery on a custom size partition

  What do you think?

• Cannot restore the backup of the image to the new SSD, said player is not connected

  Windows 7-64 bits, hardware upgrade of the HP DM1Z.

  I have a computer HP DM1Z. "Home Premium" Windows 7 64-bit (again, as in Feb)

  I decided to replace the current hard drive 320 GB WD with an Intel X 25 - M 80 GB SSD drive.
  Initially, I bought Acronis ' True Image ' to do the download of the OS (the computer has not much on since it's new).
  Computer problem closing occurred. A few times my attempts. Acronis has been unable to solve this problem. I cancelled the Acronis.
  Decided to call HP. I did a 'clone' on 4 DVDs via an external DVD burner.
  I swapped hard drives.
  At startup, I've indexed PF9 & got the "Recovery Manager". Keyed "Minimizes Image Recovery" to re - install the operating system. Progress was halted when a pop-up "target drive is not connected". I tried this same routine with "Recovery System", and the end result is the same.
  With "HP support", I keyed PF10 and did a diagnostic test. The new SSD worked. "HP support" indicates problem was probably the Windows 7 software.
  I had checked the Microsoft Web site, and the Intel X 25-M is compatible with Windows 7, 64 bit.
  What gives? Registry software is with the motherboard, I think. Replace large GGB to small GGB SSD hard drives seem to be no problems from what I've read. What solution can there be? What I need to re-purchase the retail of Windows 7 to replace the OEM Windows 7 to make it work? This is not good.
  would appreciate help from anyone in this case. Thank you.

• Can I update the image of factory restore?

  Hi all

  I recently had the pleasure to make a 'factory restore' on a M100 and an A300.

  While the process went smoothly (even if the A300 recovery disk creator should not be put back first to make it work), data that has been restored were, of course, obsolete because he didn't understand not updates either the operating system (Vista Home Basic) or to one of the Toshiba Software (including drivers and tools utility).

  I know that you can return the system to Toshiba for a new image of the HARD drive by them (at great cost), but I don't know if that provides a picture of 'update' or if she simply replaces the original image (obsolete).

  Is it possible the 'factory restore' image stored on the recovery partition can be updated and a user, or a technician of the 'non-Toshiba"without having recourse to external software such as Acronis?

  Thanks in advance for all advice offered.

  Hey Buddy,

  No, you can update the image of factory restore t. Settings (Windows, driver, etc.) are stored in an image that can t be changed or updated because these settings are pre-tested on your laptop computer and any change would be not compatible. In addition, I think that Windows updates are made with two or three clicks, you need just to a good internet connection. Alternative, you install Microsoft's latest Service Pack which contains many important updates ;)

  By the way: I made my own image using Acronis image. After the installation of recovery disk Toshiba I removed all applications that I n t need (ConfigFree for example), installed the Windows updates and my other apps that I need (Skype, Office, etc.). After that, I tested the laptop a bit and finally and especially that I created an image with Acronis. So I can restore my own settings every time too. ;)

• Restoring my data to a new SSD with Time Machine

  I'm going to buy a new SSD hard drive, and I backed up all my data in Time Machine on an external hard drive. Is it possible to restore all my data only through Time Machine? I have a bootable USB key with El Capitan on that, I'm not worried about the operating system. Wouldn't time machine recognize my computer as a completely different machine? This treatment?

  If it is possible how I would go about it?

  Your new SSD must be in the format GUID extended journeled using disk utility. Boot into Recovery (R command).

  Install OS X and use the Time machine to restore all your data.

  

• With the help of original image on a new ssd?

  I have a hard drive failed on my XPS l502x, I ordered a new ssd of 512gig to replace. I hope it's a simple question, but I keep coming across conflicting messages/ideas. What I want to do is create a factory recovery on a USB key image, replace the disk, boot from USB and let the dells factory image to do the rest. I don't want to clone my data, I have no need of what on my PC, I want to just start from the beginning. I'm on win7 Home premium. It would be as straight forward as I describe above, or am I missing something? Cheer MB

  Well Dell factory image worked well, any other HDD, ssd, and different size :)

• Restoration of new SSD to timemachine

  I just put in a new SSD in my 2010 macbook pro (IIRC) 10.11.2 running.

  I have a Time Machine recently saved on an external backup. I tried to use internet to reinstall the OS, which worked. Then I sailed on my external hard drive for the restoration and my macbook sees from the outside, we see even the time machine backup, I did it yesterday but when I click on it, the following menu tells me that there is no time machine backups.

  Can I use the internet OS completely install and then use my outside for the Time Machine? But if there is a new version downloaded from the internet, which will interfere with the version that I have backed up on the outside?

  You may need to run TM at least once to get the dialog box "inherit the old TM" to appear, until it is recognized as a viable backup for your new drive.

• MacBook pro 2009 with new SSD try to clean install Yosemite or TM disaster restoration.

  Hello.

  I think this is going to be a difficult discussion.

  Unibody MacBook Pro 2009. Original Apple HDD with Yosemite 10.10.5.

  Two months ago, that my HARD disk is dead.

  I installed a new SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive and through the recovery of TM all went well.

  A couple of weeks, my 'new' SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HDD started to scratch a little (I mean literally zero while reading/writing), so I thought he would die soon again. This time, I decided to buy an SSD in order to have better performance and superior durability.

  So I bought a Toshiba 248 Gb SSD. I'm not a big fan of Toshiba, but where I live, it's the SSD only I found in the store.

  I removed the old HDD, I installed the new SSD and where my nightmare starts.

  First of all, I tried with a new Installation of USB from Yosemite. I followed all the passages and the installation completed in about 9 days. Yes you read that right: 9 days. The progress bar runs for 9 DAYS.

  At the beginning I obviously interrupted the first couple of facilities when the progress bar was like "12 minutes at the end" for three or four hours, but then I read in many articles and support threads that it is quite usual installation seeks stuck for hours or days, but if you open the log console computer is always something. So I gave him his time and the third or the fourth installation I waited my NINE DAYS to be finished.

  Then when the installation ended the restarted mac of himself and is stuck at the loading screen with his beautiful Apple and the progress bar frozen at about 50%.

  I froze for about 4 or 5 hours of average.

  I found a few articles that sometimes happens, and all you have to do is to force the computer to shut down and start again. So I tried to force the shutdown by holding down the power button and after the reboot it just keeps starting with and stuck at first infinite progress bar.

  So I reboot on CMD + R to get a clue, if I got in trouble on the SSD or what. I run disk utility and found that on my SSD were about 290,000 files and many files as the Yosemite was finally installed. I tried to check the permissions, but it says less than a minute and then got stuck at halfway to complete 15 minutes, so I stopped it.

  After that I think 4 or 5 attempts to start new fresh install on my Yosemite and clean, I reset the SSD erase decided to start all over again.

  I died a little inside while doing it. Same as the erasure was so f * king quick to finish! (about 50 seconds, sonofa 'byte').

  Then I tried to not reinstall Yosemite again (the nightmare of 9 DAYS still has me) but I have tried a new way: recovery of TM.

  Just to say my original TM backup was about 340 GB and my new SSD is 248 only while it was quite clear he wasn't.

  I connect my external TM drive to another computer and I worked the ' delete all backups of * file * ' to get a smaller backup TM.

  Now, I moved a lot of things outside the TM backup and the new dimension of the TM backup is about 90 GB (I want to say that the whole folder backups.backup is about 90 GB), in fact I moved the other stuff was also inside the external Western Digital drive and is now free space Go 910 (, hence the content of the WD is just the TM backup folder this weight about 90 GB), but I still have the 'this drive doesn't have enough space to restore your system.', it's totally A LIE.

  Never mind. I accepted the idea that sometimes even computers are ashamed of themselves and begin to tell lies. I can handle. There was a holy man in the history without any sin. So, ok, no problem. I'm not upset or anything. I can get over it (mf you little liar!).

  Think of manually restore the files that I needed once I have a BONE in my new SSD, I used the same external disk to create a new backup from another computer, my Mac Mini TM. Everything went well and I got a new Mac Mini TM backup about 60 GB (it's much less than 248 GB of my new SSD).

  I reboot the Macbook again to try to restore the backup, Time Machine of Mac Mini and everything seems to work, except for:

  -progress initially said about 650 hours needed to complete the restoration ago.

  -I went to sleep and let the machine itself working together on the restoration and when I woke up this morning I found that the rest of the time was "fair" 52 hours.

  -J' was a little happy to see this, until the Rainbow rolling ball appears. Everything got stuck again. I force shutdown and then try to restore it.

  Now it works again and the remaining time is close hours 672 (and growing). I'll give it another chance. We'll see.

  Now, I have four questions to ask you:

  1. you have an idea (with the exception of a curse or a matter of black magic) WHY all this happened? And of course if there is something wrong and I can work to fix it otherwise?

  2 are there special settings to enable/disable/configuration/whatever to create works faster still to understand that it doesn't properly before discovering this NINE DAYS or 672 HOURS right now?

  3. when we agreed that something like that was acceptable? I used to be a project leader in the world of ICT and in 20 years I NEVER, I say NEVER, released a product/app/site Internet/solution that considers that an option taken 9 DAYS to install or something like that. NEVER. Do not forget that we are talking about Apple and an operating system. I think Windows is laughingly taking revenge.

  4. do you think that for me it is time to let Apple and go back WIN + PC? It's quite frustrating and I use the computer to WORK, not to play games video and this is not the kind of operativity expect after paying a little more for material, a little more for software, a little more to be part of what it is supposed to be the one that had the best choice (index not be not it kills me).

  I thank in advance for any help/tip, you can provide.

  This is a fairly long post. What I would say is:

  1. the next time get a hard drive from a company with a good reputation like Samsung (best SSD ever, I have several internal parts and a laptop EVO). I get them shipped.

  2. as you use the Mini, the recovery partition allows you to install a new copy of Mac OS X, and then use the Migration Wizard to move your stuff.

• 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,.

• Reference Dell T5400 new SSD not recognized

  I'm having a problem with the installation of a new SSD on my T5400. Ultimatly I want to load the operating system and all the software on the SSD and then install a 2nd hard drive SSD of same type and size to store my files.

  My specific situation is:

  Previously a poweredge 6 / i sas card scsi perc 6 with the installation of 500 GB HD (2) RAID 0, Win 7 pro 64 bit.

  I removed the adapter perc 6 and installed a new Samsung 850 Evo 500 gb SSD on sata 0 position. I'm trying to do a fresh reload of the OS on the SSD with the bios (Version 11) set to Raid Autodetect/AHCI selected.

  During the installation of windows, it does not see the SSD and seeks pilots continue. I tried to find the appropriate drivers on the website of dell for my system and the unziped NautilusDOSA48_ZPE, put on a USB key. He looked for a driver, but windows has returned a message 'no driver signed found. Of note is that I was able to remove my other format of the underdisk of configuration management and create a simple volume on disk.

  Issues related to the:

  Is the withdrawal of the RAID card affecting the installation, was it the previous series of drivers that I seem to be missing? If so how can I work around this?

  Leaves the RAID card to and not connected to the drive or connect to the card and a raid configuration, a configuration option 'no '? If so is it a good idea?

  I visited the dell support site and found what I thought was the best set of drivers for my system and SSD (NautilusDOSA48_ZPE) is suitable for my application driver or is there a better one avalible?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hi Todd,

  Thanks for your reply.

  I currently have the readers installed and running on my system

  In response to your answer, yes Bios A11 had been installed for more than a year, removed the card activated before installing the SSD raid and AHCI.

  The question, it turns out that was a simple, as I said after enabling the AHCI I thought that ports 0 and 1 auto detects new readers, they do not have. Once I have manually configured ports on in the Bios, the system recognizes the new SSD and they work now.

  Best

• How to install Windows 7 on a new SSD, Dell Windows 7 DVD

  I have a new SSD for my workstation Precision 7510.  I need to install windows 7 on it from the DVD provided by Dell.  The DVD has no drivers and so when I try and install, I get a message about "the installation media does contain not all drivers" and the installation will not allow me to continue.  Keep in mind that my new SSD has no partition recovery or in fact any partition.  I have a drivers Cab file and I also have this unpacked on a USB key, but it does not appear as a disk when I "Browse".  Neither the new SSD - t - there no partitions...

  Do I need to format the SSD drive first?

  Could someone tell me where I can get the drivers and all that forms, they must be in?  In other words, I need to burn it to a DVD, and what would the structure of directory?  Do I have to download all the drivers separately - there are a number of EXEs on the support site, or can I use the Dell Enterprise site CAB file?

  I tried various things now since a few days and I'm losing my grip on reality :)

  Thanks in advance.
