Is it a good idea to replace the 2.5 "HDD (with partition recovery inside) with a SSD?

Hi all

I have a ThinkPad E420 with the recovery partition in the HARD drive. I intend to sell the excessive 750 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive and replace it with a 120 GB SSD, because I need responsiveness instead of ability. Is this a good idea?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

This tool is designed to protect not the mechanics of the SSDS. It would not apply in your case.

  • Exchanging the 500 GB HDD with a SSD 128 GB on a fancy m6 1101-so

    Hello

    I was trying to replace/change the 500 GB HDD with a 120 GB SSD installed on this laptop. My plan was to use the SSD as boot drive and the HARD 'normal' storage disk in a cradle of HARD drive in the optical drive Bay. But my problem is that during the backup of the disc at first, I did install, the installation leaves boot loop once the installation is finished and he wants to start windows for the first time.

    All those who know what is my problem? At the beginning I had problems with even getting to the start screen, but I solved it with the boot and installation of windows with the BIOS in legacy mode.

    Hope that there is a magician who could help me.

    You cannot use recovery discs that you made from 500 GB HARD drive to restore a 120 GB drive in most cases.

    You can clone the SSD HARD drive. (Note: total capacity used on the HARD disk must be less than the total size of SSD for cloning to work). Use Macrium reflect free cloning tool & SATA Adapter USB to connect the SSD for laptop by USB.

  • is it a good idea to run the JAVA virtual machine inside the hypervisor?

    If I want to write a global user inside the hypervisor platform and you want to reuse some java lib, it's a good idea to install and run the JAVA virtual machine as part of global programs of the user inside the hypervisor? Thank you.

    Maybe you listen to the wrong people?

    The ESXi hypervisor is pretty well stripped of the linux console you are talking about, there is a thin busybox linux like environment, but you are strongly advised not to run anything in there.

    Performer of applications within this console may have all kinds of side effects such as severely affect the performance of your computer virtual guests.

    Why the hell would you want to run the JAVA virtual machine inside the hypervisor? What is the reason why you want to do this? If it's because you get a better return, then you're wrong, the console becomes just a little bit of resources available on your host computer.

    If this is to go directly to the features that the hypervisor provides then the VMA we're talking is the answer.

    So getting back to your question initial for EACH use case that I can think it's a very bad idea.

  • Is there a good way to replace the text "See basket" by another text?

    I have a big problem, I'm still stuck with that, I hope someone can help me.

    I need to change the text "See basket" in the cart summary module. I learned that I can do this with javascript: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4409239#4409239

    But there are problems:

    When I use this javascript:

    " < script src =" https://AJAX.googleapis.com/AJAX/libs/jQuery/1.7.2/jQuery.min.js "type =" text/javascript"> < / script > "

    < script >

    $(function () {})
    $(".cartSummaryLink").text ("Afrekenen");
    });
    $(function () {})
    $(".cartLink").text ("Winkelwagen is alone");
    });

    < /script >

    The 'see the basket' is replaced by 'afrekenen.

    BUT:

    1. When I add another product to the presentation of big product the text "see basket" is back...
    2. When I delete a product in the basket the text "See basket" is also back
    3. When I refres page the text "See basket" is replaced with "afrekenen.


    So I thought to use javascript to refresh the page when a product is added:

    < script type = "text/javascript" >

    function AddProductExtras() {}
    document. Location.Reload (true);
    }

    < /script >

    This works, but you can see that the text changes from 'afrekenen' to 'view basket' and "afrekenen" as the page is again a regeneration which is not a very good solution.  So here are my questions:

    1. Is there a better work around?
    2. If not, is it possible that when a product is removed from the basket page can also be updated?


    Thank you

    Frank

    Hi Frank,.

    I suggest that you use CSS and replace the basket with an image. The following should help:

    {a.cartSummaryLink}

    background: url(your-image.png) 0 0 no-repeat;

    Width: 120px;

    height: 27px;

    vertical-align: middle;

    display: - moz - inline-block; / * for Firefox * /.

    display: - moz - inline-box; / * for Firefox * /.

    Display: inline-block;

    text-indent:-9999px; / * mask the text * /.

    }

    See you soon,.

  • Replace the chip AMD A8 with an AMD A10

    HI, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on this.  I have a HP: 500-054 with an AMD A8 chip, I want to upgrade an A10.  Power and watts on socket are very good A10 uses the same power and is located in the path of upgrade for the Council of Eric on the 054.

    My problem is that it looks like the factory used a thermal GLUE, instead of a paste.  When I opened the hood and went to remove the fan screws were already in bulk.  Unscrew more just to be sure and tried to remove the fan so I could replace the chip. I checked and recheck and nothing else is holds the fan.

    So any suggestions on getting the fan assemble the CPU socket without damaging the motherboard?  He is stuck in solid and hoped that someone here would have a suggestion.

    I'm not particularly intelligent or gifted. I'm just very, very curious.
    Albert Einstein

    Thanks for the reply, I was upgrade the system to pull the max memory and put it into the higher A-series chip. A problem with the fan by pulling even after be unscrewed it wasn't pulling up if I could have access to the chip.

    Regardless of the factory used as a thermal paste should be defined as super glue.  Shouldn't not concerned by the old A8 chip I replaced it anyway, so I unplugged the fan and run the PC for 15 minutes on a game with the unscrewed and disconnected fan.  Not something that I would normally do, but this has worked to build-up of heat allowed me to wiggle the fan a little and she appeared off the coast.

    Thanks for your reply, the problem is resolved and the new chip Assembly and fan of the A10 is installed and works very well.  Note the A8 chip works well so I tested it on another PC so overheating does no damage.

  • Replace the HDD with a SSD

    Salvo, sono a nuovo consumatore di prodotti HP e sapere I wanted is sostituendo Hard disk capacity guarantee del PC original, grazie. (Italian)

    Hello:

    Unfortunately, there is no redress related to the support page and the driver of your laptop, so I have no idea whether or not you can do the job yoursel without voiding the warranty.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-15-R200-notebook-PC-series/7486447/model/7835232/manuals

    I suppose the easy way to say would be that if your laptop is a service door Bay on the bottom of the PC, you should be able to replace the disk hard if you see after removing the cover of the service Bay.

    If it's a solid background and without visible access panels, so it would be a model where access the disk cannot be done by an authorized service center.

    There is a manual related to the series 15-r000.  It is the series of model closer to you to your model.

    According to the manual, it seems you need to take about the portable unit departed and arrived at practice.

  • Replace the screen for one with a higher resolution on Satellite P850-12Z

    Hi all

    I read a lot on the internet about the replacement of the screen on computers laptop toshiba and also I saw a video on [how to replace the screen for a Toshiba Satellite P855 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ncz3ZaI2I-s].

    Is it possible to replace the screen for a Toshiba Satellite P850 12Z (original: 15.6"@1366x768) to another screen with a higher resolution (say: 15.6"@1920x1080 or 15.6"@1600x900)?

    I'm sure that the graphics card is able to function perfectly with this screen (nVidia GeForce GT630M 2048 MB dedicated) and also I read a lot on laptop screen replacement, and I know that this screen has a connector 40 pin and it is an LED Panel, so I won't have to worry about the ups.

    I found several screens (15.6"@1920x1080) who say they are compatible with Toshiba, but I wan't to make sure a higher resolution Panel replacement is possible.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Exchange of the display is not supported by Toshiba, so I don't think that someone here can help you with this.
    I assume that Toshiba offers multiple views for this model of laptop. Only seller is different but resolution 1366 x 768 is always the same as on the original laptop specification.

    You can try to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. If someone can help you with that service of Toshiba. They have access to the database of Toshiba and can possibly tell if another view is usable on your machine.

    All this is quite complicated.

  • Cannot replace the PXI embedded clock with clock oscillator PXI-6682 on PXI back plane

    I installed a module of synchronization PXI-6682 to slot 2 of a PXI-1031chassis with a PXI-8110 controller running hypervisor and RT.  The 6682 is installed on the RT system hypervisor for GPS sync during the measurements, but I would like to ask the TCXO on the PXI-1031 chassis backplane (which replaces the PXI embedded clock).  When I try to run the "Clock.vi route" that I found in the finder of the example, all I get are error messages indicating that a parameter for this operation is not valid.  The Terminal source is "Oscillator" and terminal of destination is "PXI-Clk10_In"  How can I determine which parameter is not valid?  Any suggestions?  Thank you

    Hi vugt.

    You are right that the physical switch determines which one to use and you should not have to route signals.  If you are having problems with clocks after the synchronization module 6682 please let us know!

  • Replace the Double slash reverse with a single backslash

    I'm reading a path of my .ini file. The problem is that when I wrote the path to the .ini file writes with the double backslashes as follows: C:\\My Documents\\a.ini. When I read in there and resave it I get C:\\\My Documents\\\a.ini. I wanted to know if anyone had a way to change C:\\My Documents\\a.ini back to c:\My Documents\a.ini. The-are necessary, because I had to use strcat to some parts of my code. So somehow, I need to find the "------" and replace it with "\". I tried the following, but I get an error when you use "\".

    char * p;

    While (p = strchr (path, '-'))

    *p='\';

    Help me please!

    It seems that the registration code is doubly unnecessarily each backslash he meets. One possibility would be to change that.

    Also note that in C, when you want to specify string constants or a character in your code, some characters must be escaped with a backslash preceding. For example:

    newline = "\n" or "\n".

    tab = '\t' or '\t '.

    apostrophe in a constant digit = "\" "

    "string constant quotes ="he said \"hello\.

    «= backslash ' \ ' or «»

    You see that because the backslash on this special meaning when in a string or character constant, there must also be escaped when you really want just a bar character backslash. That is why, in your example, * p ='\ ' is a mistake. Also, note that in your example, strchr (path, '-') is just the location of any backslash character, not necessarily two back to back. Also realize that if you try to remove characters from a string, just change the character at a given position does not work. I would recommend something like this:

    char * fixedPath = malloc (strlen (originalPath) + 1); null value check failed to shorten

    for (char * src = originalPath, * dest = fixedPath; 1; ++ src, ++ dest)

    {

    * dest = * src;

    If (* src == '\0') / / end of the source string. break the loop.

    break;

    If (* src == ' \' & *(src+1) == ' \')

    ++ src; jumps the extra backslash

    }

  • Replace the layer source footage with After Effects Composition

    Hello!

    I have a question about the workflow of dynamic linking between Premiere Pro and After Effects. As common for most editing workflows, I started by import and organize my source footage. I then cut the entire project using the original footage. Now, as he comes to effects and final optimizations, I noticed that there are several items that I need to work in After Effects.

    I know (and use) the function 'Replace with After Effects Composition', but this only works for an item in the Assembly. I have dozens of clips from same source footage and would simply replace the master-clip with a composition. In this way, I can do the AE-job once that overall the clip and the whole project remains perfectly organized.

    As I read elsewhere, there is no characteristic that makes this replacement directly. Trying to "Replace Footage" with one generates an AE-project error. After Effects render and replace the images with the rendered results (as advised in a similar topic) is no option, given that I'd lose dynamic links in this way. My question is: Y at - it another way or the workaround to replace my source footage of the layer with an After Effects composition?

    Thanks in advance for the help and advice!
    Best regards

    What you can get in the way you want.  Your best option is to export a new clip of the AE and use it to a replace operation in the tray.

    In the future, as a Pseudo-solution you can put the 'AE' in their own, dedicated footage clips and change using these sequences, as if they were real clips.  This would allow you to keep the dynamic link in place.
