• Re: Satellite C50D - A - 13 G - boot from HARD disk, you can't install Win on new SSD

  I recently bought an SSD to improve performance a little, I of course want to install Windows on this.

  The problem is that the laptop recognizes that the SSD is here, it tries only to start from what he can of course because it is empty.

  Announces 'Check media [fail]' as well as ' no. Bootable Devices Found '.

  I went into the start menu and tried booting from CD and USB, none of these options work, and again, the system attempts to boot from the Virgin SSD.

  I've set both the USB and the DVD drive as the first boot device. Yet once, none of them work and you guessed it, the system attempts to boot from the empty unit.

  What Miss me? There must be a way to get the system to boot something other than the Virgin SSD.

  Out of curiosity, but what version of Windows you trying to install?

• Install Win 7 on a new disc

  The problem: windows fails when starting a new drive.

  I have T430 with Win 7 pro 64-bit.
  The hard drive (hitachi 320 GB 7200 RPM) has the recovery partition. Boot from this drive is very good, and the pc works. The pc CAME preinstalled with the operating system and no DVD has been provided.

  Now I want to install the OS for a new SSD 120 GB drive (for the same pc)
  With the help of tools Lenovo, I created a USB recovery.
  Removed the original drive and installed the new SSD.
  Booted from the USB and the recovery application to install Win on the SSD.
  At the start of the SSD, I get the error
  "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware... »
  'Not found Winload.exe.

  Of course, the hardware has been changed, but I can't use the advice - use of the ERD - if Lenovo does not provide it.

  I already searched the forums and has not found a solution.

  Is there a formal solution of Lenovo, or I have to take my chances?
  Any ideas will be appreciated.

• Install Win 7 on new SSD, DV7t-3000

  Hi all

  I just bought a new SSD 60 GB for my Pavilion dv7t.  I would like to install Windows 7 on SSD for fast loading times, etc.  However, the player is only 60 GB, and not the drive of 300 GB the OS is currently on.

  Because these computers were not shipped with the OS installation disc, it seems that I have to make a recovery disk.  I read that for these to work, the drive that you get should be of equal size or larger than the original drive.

  I'm near the top of the proverbial Creek on that?  I can't imagine that HP would limit it like that.  No way I can afford a 300 GB HDD anyway!  Is it possible to install the OS I paid on my new drive?

  Thanks for all the help.  Enjoy your week.

  -Matt

  Laptop recovery disks does not require the same hard drive (size), however, there may be minimum hard disk size requirement.

  Why not do a set of recovery discs anyway (might be useful in case of any problem hard drive). Replace the hardware with the new SSD and try the system with the disk recovery? Keep the original for a while hard disk, however, may use it as the 2nd drive.

• Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

  Hello

  My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
  I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

  The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
  SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
  He said that there is a missing driver.

  I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

  I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

  What can I do?

  Thanks for the help.
  Best regards
  Bruno Moreira

  More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
  In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
  As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

  However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

  But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
  Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
  Give it a try.

• Satellite L300 - clean install Win 7 SP1 64 bit

  I just did a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit, replacing the normal 32-bit Vista that comes with the laptop.

  The facility has been good, but I have a few questions about the following:

  I adjusted the automatic run settings to ask every time for all selections. The problem is that when the game DVD in WMP or VLC disk reads but is noisy. It is very good for the s CD without excessive noise. The acoustic silencer on the download site is for 32-bit, but can be used in this laptop. In the original Vista there is no noise at all, so I wonder if there is other parameters that can sort this point, otherwise I'll have to keep changing things manually with the acoustic silencer.

  I noticed a very low noise coming from laptop (like a lighter version of a business when you're boarding Jet it). I ran a video memory Stress Test CE and he showed a few errors. If I reduce the brightness of the screen there is less noise so I wonder if it's something to do with the Panel of inverter of screen I'm sure that's not the HARD drive or the cooling fan, but it could be something on the motherboard.

  On the backup plan Acronis will slow down my system or are Win 7 OK backup options?

  Thanks a lot for all the possible solutions to these problems.

  A long time ago I've installed Win7 32 bit on friends Satellite L300. It worked perfectly. Much better than original Vista.
  > I still don't know what is the best test for the screen.
  I put t understand what kind of test do you mean. I hope that you have installed the right display driver and LCD works perfectly with a native resolution.

  Win7 recovery with Acronis image creation is, generally, the right decision. With this disc, you can install Win7 again and again very rapidly and you should not install every single driver separately.

  If you want to keep this laptop any longer I think it is worth to buy it. One last thing: you will buy it once and you can use it in the future too if you decide to buy the new laptop or PC.

• Spectrum x 360 4165: FINALLY SOLVED! No driver CD/DVD for Hp spectrum x 360 - install Win 7

  This isn't a question but a RESPONSE to all those who are not able to install Win 7 on Hp Spectra because you get the notice "a required CD/DVD device driver is missing."

  I JUST BOUGHT a brand new 360 4165 x spectrum.  No USB 2.0 at all.  No CD player.

  Engineer network, that sort of thing just is not solved with me so I solved it!

  DO NOT download drivers intel but RST download the Extensible software USB 3.0 host controller.  RST is 'Rapid Storage Technology' and has nothing to do with the inability of the system to load the drivers of USB 3.0

  = Found HERE =.

  https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/22824/USB-3-0-driver-Intel-USB-3-0-Extensible-host-control...

  Extract the files to a folder on the C: drive of your laptop.

  Install Win 7 and WHEN IT REQUEST the drivers, just point to the folder (Browse) you just extract files.

  You need to install BOTH the driver of the ROOT and the main driver of USB 3.0, so choose one and install, and then select the other and install.

  DON'T BOTHER with removing USB and move to another location!  Here are the lucky results!

  You will now be able to quickly install Windows 7 according to MY INSTRUCTIONS.

• ProBook 450 g2: install win 8.1 on probook g2 450

  Hello

  can someone tell me what the bios should be set to, in order for me to install win 8.1 on my probook.

  It came preloaded with win 7, but the DVD of restoration to win 8.1 does not pick up the 128 GB samsung ssd.

  do I need to change the bios settings? or is it a driver I need?

  I can't make it work be it...

  Thank you

  It's the solution that I have seems to work.

  In such a situation, you can clean the whole SSD by using diskpart and this will ensure that the system reserved partition is also cleaned and the boot sector. Try to use the following method to clean the SSD and use the automatic partitioning of windows to create the partition for the installation of the operating system.
  
  1. Insert the DVD of windows in the DVD player.
  2. on the disk selection screen, press SHIFT + F10. A command prompt window opens.
  3. type diskpart and press ENTER to open the diskpart tool.
  4. Type list disk and press ENTER. A list of available hard disks.
  5. type the number of disk of salt and then press ENTER. number is the number of the hard drive you want to clean. The hard drive is now selected.
  6. type det disk, and then press ENTER. A list of partitions on the hard disk. This information is used to verify that the correct drive is selected.
  7. make sure that the disk does not contain required data, type clean all, and then press ENTER to clean the disk.
  
  All partitions and all data on the disc is removed entirely.
  8 type exit and press ENTER to close
  
  9. continue the installation of the Windows operating system using automatic mΘthodes partitioning recommandΘes rather than create partitions yourself.

• Pure install Win Vista x 86 HP KB2079403, KB2479943, KB2536275 (fail 0x800B0100) and KB2536275 (not 0x8007065E)

  Clean instal Win Vista x 86 HP on new SSD now in SP2. The material is a Medion Q6600 on mother MSI7366 and NVidia GeForce 9300GS map.

  Will not install KB2079403, KB2479943, KB2536275 (fail 0x800B0100) or KB2536275 (not 0x8007065E).  Suggestions how to proceed?

  I tried each individually - how know one gives what error.

  Run Update Readiness Tool and it says everything is OK. You run MS Baseline Security analyze and downloaded packages individual but can not understand the correct syntax to invoke manually by hand using pkgmgr. I'm stuck with a new installation of Vista precarious missing 4 critical fixes :(

  I could go back and start from scratch, but I think I'll finish exactly in the same place again. Have also tried AV scans of bootable CD made on another system of trust and found no evidence of malicious software with three different products.

  Is it possible to get the best diagnosis of update of windows beyond "failed with unknown cryptic error."

  Any ideas what these patches have in common, which causes them to fail on my kit?

  Thank you

  Martin Brown

  Thank you very much! These well made the case.

  I had not had as much as to put on an AV so that it was not to blame. I have no idea why Windows Update had taken against these specific fixes - they work OK on the hard drive.

  They all performed successfully, according to the newspaper.  But I came to be stuck with a 'respect' in the automatic mode of updates for the last KB2536275 tag applied. He thinks that the patch should always be applied (and running it still does not work).

  Correction - it takes the system a heck of a lot of time to notice that the patch is applied and removed from the list (at least 2 reboots and the time it took me to write this letter) to do. Now, everything is good on the SSD and a nice green checkmark shows that there are no outstanding update!

  Thanks again it was exactly what I need.

  BTW How did you find these .msu files? When I went before all I could find were cryptic and opaque. CAB files with names absolutely inpenetrable, my question at the beginning was to know how to apply them as pkgmgr syntax is not really obvious from the help page.

  They are much more user friendly they are autonomous and run after the download.
