install Windows 8 on 7720 (Inspiron 17R (SE)) and START-UP OF THE mSATA?

That of my question, can I use the mSATA as a small BOOT DISK rather than a cache?

If I buy this machine, I will pull the mechanical HD and replace it with a SSD anyway, would rather not lose the mSATA.

If we peut configure BIOS so that we can install win8 on mSATA and then mSATA boot... Well, then I consider the upgrade to a LARGER mSATA :-)

so... What's the scoop, DELL?

Hi 090909,

Yes, you can use msata as boot drive. Reference available Dell an msata 32 GB with its systems. I recommend you to get a bigger msata as well as a 128 GB 256Go because the operating system doesn't come not in a drive to 32 GB msata.

Before installing, make sure you goto BIOS and change SATA of TSRI to AHCI operation.

  • How can I uninstall windows 8 and install windows 7 on an Inspiron 17R SE 7720

    I bought my Inspiron 17R SE with Windows 8 installed in December 2012. I tried my best to become familiar with Windows 8, but most of the time I do love. I tried to use the classic interface so it looked like Windows 7 but I still don't like it.  It seems to me that Windows 8 be not really suitable for the use of the laptop.

    I want to uninstall Windows 8 and install my own copy of Windows 7 Pro, but I do not know if it will install on a laptop at the origin of installation for Windows 8.  I asked Technical Support on this issue, but I was told that Dell would not support this so they couldn't help me.

    Can anyone here help me with detailed instructions on how to achieve what I want... I read that the needs of settings in the Bios to be changed before I start but do not know what to do.

    Thank you

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jeremy,.

    Thanks a lot for your help. You're right, I should have said no upgrades and updates.
    There were a total of 10 updates:
    4 a security updates for Vista,
    1 security update for the Microsoft 2010 information access path,
    1 day of cumulative security for IE9.
    1 windows Live essential 2011
    1 definition update Windows Defender (KB915597)
    1 "" for Office 2010 "
    1 April 2013 malware tool
    I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials. I felt that I should not uninstall the updates of security, and the Defender update can not be uninstalled. It made no difference.
    I also checked the graphics card and told me that I had the latest version of the software.
    Then I checked the configuration of the monitor and graphics card configuration and found I could set the configuration to full frame. I did it and now all is well again.
    How and why the full frame disappeared April 16 remains a mystery.
    Thank you very much for your information without your help I would have been unable to delve deeply into the system. I learned a lot.
  • Can I use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack (3 users) to install Windows 7 Edition home premium 64 on a desktop computer running the OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium 32?

    My desktop system is an Acer E700 Intel Quad Core 2.4 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and 1 Gig video running Vista Home Premium OEM 32 version. I plan to upgrade the hard disk of 1 tetrabyte before upgrading the OS.  If so, how should I do this?  I have to restore the backup to disk to the new disk before update for Window 7 64?

    My second office is already running Vista Home Premium 64 so this upgrade using the family must be right before correct?  Or do I need to backup to the subject programs before moving to Win7 64?

    Thanks in advance.

    You will need to do a reformat to perform installation and you reinstall the applications.  There has never been a way to upgrade from x 86 to x 64.  You will need to do is use your x 64 media to install Windows 7 on new hard drive, use your product key on the certificate of authenticity located on the side of the Acer desktop computer.  You will always be the OEM license terms, as you install the same Windows SKU.  Product keys are interchangeable between x 86 and x 64, but you will probably need to call to activate Windows after installation - usually the Internet activation does not work on current versions of Windows using the seller great modes of action.

  • If I bought a computer with windows 8 is already installed (windows 8 sucks) can I uninstall it and install windows 7

    If I bought a computer with windows 8 is already installed (windows 8 sucks) can I uninstall it and install windows 7? Windows 8 has to be the worst software ever. It is like going back to the iceage of computers. The LAGS and timing on is horrible. I expect right cruse, that she does not exist. It's like a person driving a car with their foot constantly on the brake.

    You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

    Shockwave Flash should not do that. However, if you want to delete it go to programs and features in Control Panel.

  • How can I install Windows XP on Satellite L40 - 17R?

    I tried to install windows XP on my new L40 - 17R.
    I get a msg says that I don't have a HARD drive.

    I enter the WOOD so I can find a setting for SATA HDD to turn it off as I do in my old ASUS.
    But I have not found anything to the HARD drive in the BIOS.

    So can any body please help me how can I do to install windows XP?

    I will be grateful

    You do not need to disable anything in the BIOS. Simply install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager and the operating system will recognize the HARD drive.
    You are going to install the SATA (Storage Manager) driver for the external USB floppy drive or you will use nLite software to build an own XP CD and include the SATA driver in the new XP.

  • His Dell Inspiron 1420, microphone and camera integrated into the laptop does not work after installing Windows 7 Professional

    No sound from my Dell Inspiron 1420 and the microphone and built-in laptop camera do not work after installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. My laptop has Windows 7 Vista 32 - bit family premium. My laptop is 64-bit capable and after going through the Upgrade Advisor, I installed Windows 7 64-bit. I can hear sounds when I use a headset plugged into the line-in Jack, but not through the speakers built into the laptop. I already tried new drivers from the Dell website, but I could not find.

    Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

    As it is has no drivers 64 bit Windows 7 on Dell Web site, your best chance is to install the 64-bit versions of Vista (if they exist) in compatibility mode, viz:

    Right click on the Vista driver, then select Properties > Compatibility tab. Now choose to run the program in Vista compatibility mode and then apply > OK. Right click on the file and select run as administrator to install it.
