• G62 - 219CA: possibility to backup/clone recovery Partition just before installing the new SSD?

  I'm considering buying an SSD of 256 for my older G62 - 219 CA.

  I can sort of back up or clone JUST the recovery partition, so when I install the new SSD I can put back them there and have this convenience for later use?

  I can't close my b/c the entire hard drive SSD will be too small in relation to the original drive.

  Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  It is not really possible to save or to clone the recovery partition. Your best option is to create the support of HP recovery using the Recovery Manager or to order HP media to DVD - Windows 7 64B doublespeak (Office 2010) + Supp 1 Recovery Kit.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Failed to install the new SSD on OSX support!

  Hello!

  I'd be happy if anyone of you could help me out here!

  I have questions, try to install a new own OSX on a new SSD on my Macbook Pro mid-2012.

  I have done this before on an Evo 840 500 GB Samsung without problems.
  This time, I use a Samsung Evo 850 1 TB, but when I try to install OSX it won't let me.

  I use (command + R to start) recovery mode and as a first step in disk utility, I couldn't format the new SSD in Mac OS x journaled, it just stopped at 50%.
  Then, I swapped the SSD for a normal (Non - SSD) hard drive, installed OS x on this drive without problem and formatted the SSD drive in disk utility on this new OSX on the HARD drive regularly after putting the SSD drive in an external enclosure.

  After that, I swapped for the formatted SSD HARD drive, but I still cannot install OSX. In disk utility from recovery mode it is said "not mounted" under the mount in the info Point. I tried the strength to mount it in a Terminal too, but it will not be displayed as installable disk mounted when you run OSX installation.

  Help greatly appreciated!

  The SSD will appear in disk utility when it is connected to the MBP via USB?  If so, format it in disk and Carbon Copy Cloner utility to copy the internal HARD drive to external SSD.

  When you are finished, test the SSD by starting the MBP with the option key down key, and then click the SSD.  If she starts the MBP, then swap in the MBP.  If it does NOT then the MBP, internal SATA cable is suspect and should be replaced.

  Ciao.

• Clean install on new SSD?

  Hey people,

  New on the Apple Forum, hope it's ok to post this question here and in the forum of the iMac. My question:

  I recently acquired an older iMac Early 2008 (8.1). Currently it has 1 GB of RAM and a HARD drive that is extremely crowded. I just bought a 2x2gb memory kit for it, and decided that I had, I will do a clean full of Snow Leopard and then level installation to El Cap. So I bought a Samsung EVO SSD faithful and a SSD IcyDock Mount for it. I also bought a DVD of Snow Leopard from Apple, since I couldn't find the original. All that from the road, here's my question:

  I want to do an installation clean full of Mac OS X on the SSD, no cloning, no record of the files, nothing. The old HARD drive, as mentioned, is packed with the previous unwanted users. I read through loads of tutorials and whatnot on the web and can not find a concise answer to how to proceed. Some say it just install the SSD drive, format it with disk utility, and then start the DVD (not literally). Some say, create a USB bootable upgrade downloaded OS X .dmg file. And so on.

  Can someone tell me, as a former PC user, new iMac user, what to do in this situation?

  Question side: is it possible to go directly to El Cap instead of go through Snow Leopard to get there?

  What I have:

  -New Snow Leopard DVD

  -new SSD

  -old HDD (installed)

  -many readers of an inch, if necessary

  Thanks in advance!

  Make a USB of El Capitan key would be the easiest way to address the issue.

  First, install this RAM upgrade on the iMac, as you will need speed. Once you have done this, start the computer normally, open the app store and download OS X El Capitan from the Appstore, so you can do a flash USB drive out of it.

  Once El Capitan finished download, download DiskMakerX here

  http://diskmakerx.com

  This program will automatically create an El Capitan bootable flash drive that you use to install El Capitan on the computer.

  After the program ends and creates your USB key, turn off the computer, remove the old HDD and throw in the SSD you bought.

  Now that you've done all this, plug the flash drive into the Mac and hold down the ALT key and select the flash drive to boot from the flash drive and install OS X El Capitan on your mac.

  Once he finishes the installation, you're done! You will then be presented the OS X install screen and you're ready to start using your computer!

  I hope this helps! Answer please if you have any other questions.

• Install the new SSD, HOW can I do?

  Computer works fine.  Dell XPS 9100 Studio.  I would like to install a 250 GB SSD to keep the operating system and make it faster.  Have the SSD. How can I do this?

  Hello Ian,

  I hope that the drive came with a set of instructions to physically install the disk. Those who follow very carefully. Installation of equipment is beyond the scope of this site, although the SSD manufacturer probably has a website similar to this one. Go and learn what it takes!

  Once the hard drive is in place, you have two choices, you can migrate the operating system of your existing HARD drive or new install it from a system disk or a hidden Partition. Either way is acceptable.

  To migrate the operating system from the HDD to the SSD, I recommend a freeware AOMEI Partition Wizard program, download here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html .

  Follow the instructions of programs very carefully, and as an extra precaution, I'd like to backup my HARD drive before transferring the OS or even install a fresh OS - just in case. According to the reader that you have purchased, there may be a driver with it, disc if yes, it would be the time to add it in.

  Finally, you will need to go into BIOS to change the boot order if your new SSD drive becomes drive C, and your current HARD drive will become the drive "D:\". ».

  Let me know if this helps you.

  Kind regards

• Activate the upgrade of windows 8 installed the new SSD

  Yesterday, I received a new SSD and I wanted to replace my current SSD. I knew it was not going to be easy to do this, I think that MS hates me :-(.

  In any case, I have a 8 win upgrade key. So what I did is first install win 7 on my new SSD but the problem was, I couldn't activate win 7. The message was that this key was already in use (which could be true because my current SSD has been improved for this key).

  So I continued and installed win 8 hollow upgrade its Web site. Finally, when I try to activate I get this lovely error "0xc004c003 the activation server determined that the specified product key is blocked. I googled and the result was MS hates you. Now, I am very sad and don't know what I just loved and hated not being. I tried phone activation and other tips of register of google, but it wouldn't help.

  If I plug my old SSD I can see that windows 8 is enabled and works but I don't know how to get a clean install on my new SSD.

  Please stop hating me :'-(

  Try the phone activation:

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4

  
  

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

• doesn't have a HDD with Win7 OEM, which has been improved to win 10 - No Media - how to install the new SSD?

  Hi members of the community.

  One of my colleagues brought me his personal computer to the difficulty.  It's a phone of 2011 which has Win 7 pre installed on it (OEM with a recovery partition).  It has no support for the version of Win 7 and she never bothered with the creation of recovery media or to order the installation media, but since its purchase, it has upgraded to Win 8, then 8.1 and finally Win10.

  Problem, it is the disk HARD watch of major equipment failures and every time you start more errors appear that problems are cascade.  There is a recovery on the HARD drive partition, but windows has trouble starting, I fear that this recovery partition is useless, because we don't want the windows reinstalled on this faulty drive.

  Can any advise if there is a way to install a windows OS on windows versions, that it has improved or the original win7 OEM supplied with the laptop without the media and with a damaged HARD drive?

  The hard drive that is damaged is a 750 GB drive at 5400 RPM samsung - she bought a new 980 GB SSD sata III.  I have already confirmed the laptop can use Sata III - I have a true picture and was curious to know if I can clone the recovery partition (if its still viable) can I do it on the SSD and then force the recovery on the SSD drive?  or that violate the license for OEM?

  Any advice would be appreciated, because I'm used to using volume licenses and I am new to OEM preinstalled OS damaged.

  Thank you very much

• Ultimate from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium or professional clean to install the new SSD

  I put my turn to level. It came with Vista Ultimate. I bought an SSD that will become my c drive. I want to do a clean installation in each Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional 64 bit on this player.  My drive/d has a backup of the Vista operating system. My drive is resumed. Do I have to buy a new copy of version single charge? If so, how will I know the source of what I buy sells an authentic copy or download? If not, what are the steps I need to take to upgrade? There is a number on the back of the workstation that would allow me to do it with the new drive installed? I don't want to have non-essential files on the SSD.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  http://www.Amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-7-8-software/b?ie=UTF8&node=1286119011

  If you choose to buy the upgraded version:

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Upgrading laptop with ssd. Can I use a Windows 7 system image to install the new ssd?

  Bought nww laptop with Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit and the other pre-installed software. No records have been provided. I want to replace the hard drive with ssd. No other changes. I can create a system image on a dvd and physically swap the drives. I can then install Win 7 using the system image, I created? What other software (Microsoft and elsewhere)? If this is not the case, how can I do without having to buy new software?

  You can clone the installation for the SSD, provided that the SSD is large enough to accommodate the installation to be cloned.

  See http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-hdd-to-ssd-with-windows-7s-own-software or (easier) use a trial version of Acronis True Image Home 2012.

  Note that, immediately after cloning, you must stop and unplug the original installation. The disc can be reconnected once the DSS started successfully.

• Satellite A500 - 19 X - cannot activate Win7 installed on new SSD

  Hi guys,.

  my hard drive failed and I replaced it with a new solid state drive. I installed Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit sp1 and I used the product key I got for my old drive entered pre loaded when I bought the laptop. Unfortunately, what it won't validate. Microsoft is a key valid and contact Toshiba.
  Toshiba tell me that because she was pre loaded on my laptop will not work for my new drive.

  My laptop model is a toshiba Satellite A500-19 x help please

  Your laptop comes with Windows preinstalled, and this version has already been activated. The product key you have on the Microsoft sticker belongs to the original version of Windows and cannot be used for activation if you want to use the own version of Win. With the new laptop, you bought Windows and a valid license too.

  I don't know if you created the recovery DVDs as described in manuals s but if you use it for the installation of the OS. If you do not have this recovery DVDs that you have a problem.

  In my opinion, there are two options: either you're going to pay for the new license or you order original recovery disk ad original recovery image on your laptop.

• 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.

  Alberto

  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.
