Lenovo G710 detects that no SSD drives in the BIOS.

Hello, I have a Lenovo G710 8 GB i3. I wanted to swap the slowest 1 TB of HARD WD for a DDI, but the installation drive BIOS or windows just does not detect. SATA is set to AHCI and startup is set to UFEI. The SSDS works very well on a laptop 5 year old Advent. I also tried different SSD with Windows pre-installed on it, and which has not been detected either.

Managed to fix it by cloning the 64Gig on my new 512 GB SSD SSD using a USB adapter SATA. Now my laptop start to my new SSD 512 GB with a 64GB C:\ partition and the rest I can format and use for games and movies.

  • Installation of SSD drive and the noise of the fan to the MacBook Pro?

    Hello

    Just replaced the stock 5400 RPM HARD drive in my MacBook Pro mid-2012 with an SSD 480 GB Sandisk and now the fan makes a loud noise. Sounds like it's revving at full speed. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you.

    You can try Macs with Intel processors: System management controller (SMC) reset and see if that fixes the problem. Unless you make a mistake in the reassembly, the two should be independent. On the other hand, it could be something in the design of the SSD. Personally, I would like to replace it with an OWC or OCZ.

    To check if the two are somehow connected try to replace the old HDD to see if the fan slows down. If it then reinstalls the SSD, making attention to do correctly and re - test. See how to install the ribbon cable short connecting the drive to the motherboard. It's easy to get the pins on the misaligned ribbon cable.

  • Conversion of SSD drive for the reader to boot on m7 with Win8

    I just bought a new m7-j020dx (product code E4S19UA #ABA) with Windows 8 from Best Buy.  Unfortunately, it came with a standard hard disc (HDD), and I would like to install a Solid State Drive (SSD).  I have an Intel 320 and 530 series-reader.  But I was not able to get a bootable from that disc.

    The first thing I tried was cloning the drive to plant on a new disk of 530 series using AOMEI Backupper.  I got an error writing on the partition of the third.  I thought that maybe the drive was bad, so I tried again with an Intel 320 series SSD drive.  Same mistake.

    The next attempt was to clone the disk to another disk of 1 TB (connected via USB), reduce the main partition with MiniTool and clone of the 320 series SSD.  The cloning went well.  However, with the new installed SSD, the computer will not start, and I get "Error0x0000225", something about a file not found.  Disable "secure starting" in the BIOS setup has not helped (I did after the clone).

    So I thought I would do a clean install of win 8.  I generated a recovery on a 32 GB USB SanDisk player disc using Win8 recovery disk generator (as indicated on the site of HP).  I then ran the program of recovery out of the USB drive and after a few hours of software installation driver and several reboots, I get a message from HP, indicating that the installation was not complete.  Reinstall did not help.

    I don't know what the problem is.

    What the recovery disk USB one made from the original bad HARD drive (we get only a single shot at it)?  Do I need media of the order of HP on disks?  Are there problems with the use of SSDS on those computers?  Should I not a BIOS settig correctly (UEFI)?  Is there some Intel storage drivers clutter it?

    I think my next step will be to create a disc Image and place it on the SSD drive.  But I doubt that this solves the problem with the start to it.

    Another option might be to build fresh using Win8 media, then download and install each driver from the HP website.

    Any ideas out there in the land of the experts?

    Thank you, erico, for advice.

    I tried this with 320 (160 GB) series and SSD 530 series (120 GB and 240 GB).  Actually, I have not tried on the 240GB again, just two other. . The 240 GB SSD is the best candidate. During cloning, using a larger SSD is the best for worms down the road when other programs are installed.

    So far, I've done everything suggested this that caramel:

    -Updated the BIOS for later: F.43. 03/01/2014 (HP support site).

    -Installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology v. 12.9.0.1001 (taken from the Intel site).

    -Updated the firmware of the 530 series 120 GB using Intel SSD Toolbox v2.0.10 of 06/20/2013 (from Intel).

    -The series 160 GB 320 firmware was up to date.

    -Installed the Data Migration Software Intel v. 2.0, dated 29/04/2013 (taken from the Intel site).

    -Updated environmental Support UEFI v5.3.3.0 dated 26/09/2013 (on the HP support site)

    -Enabled secure boot.

    Even using Data Migration tool Intel did not work.  Before Support UEFI environment, data migration tool would go to the step to reset but does not start what whether manually or to another.  Support UEFI environment, the software says simply "Operation failed." Following the manual data migration softwarecan be a bit tricky. There are a few things about the bootind of the Acronis loader * which must be carefully designed for the operation to succeed.  Intel also has a forum which can help as well.


    When I hit F10 and in the Configuration of the system, the Intel RST is not available.  So I suspect there is something not right here. The suggestion of updating the BIOS of caramel didn't across before it was made. It was not necessary and therefore not a good plan. I suggest that you use the Diagnostics UEFI and rollback to the previous BIOS. If you need advice with those just let me know. I have a few images that should show you what you should see. 

    A number of things, I noticed I did upgrades:

    -The site of HP support for my computer has Intel Rapid Storage Technology 12.0.7.1002 v, dated 30/06/2013 is earlier than on the Intel site.  Maybe I should roll back. That must be rolled back to the version shipped by HP. I see you introduced makes as stated in a previous post.

    -The HP support site has two distinct "RST", storage technology products a quick and a quick start technology.

    Intel has "RST" next to their rapid storage technology, so I might be confused.  I have installed the driver of the technology of quick start on the HP support site so if it is not already on the computer, perhaps it is not running and is the "RST" which is the missing piece.  In fact, same caramel said I need fast boot technology driver and then linked to download Rapid Storage Technology driver. Do not pay attention to what it says caramel.

    Here are two of the same?  Support site of HP with two drivers and version numbers, I suspect not.   Any ideas would be useful.  They are indeed different.

    The Intel Rapid Storage Technology softpaq sp61600.exe driver provides NCQ (native command qeueing) features for the SATA controller.

    The Intel Rapid storage Technology driver softpaq sp61325.exe is supposed to improve the SSD or mSATA consumption of hibernation and also imrove the resume from hibernation.

    You can't even consider installing either softpaq to clone the drive. It is always better to keep things simple.

    The SATA cable USB you use has two connectors usb at one end?  It is necessary to provide enough power for the SSD for data migration is not. Connect each usb connector to a different usb port.

  • Satellite R630 - second HDD recognized as optical drive in the BIOS

    I own a Toshiba R630 and recently replaced the original disc with a Crucial SSDS with improved performance. I use the old Hitachi drive in an external enclosure via eSATA trouble-free port, but this configuration requires both port eSata/USB combo and a second USB just for power, so I bought a cart of 9.5 mm to put the disc on DVD rentals.

    Today I went ahead. Physically, everything goes well (apart from the fact that I had to remove the back cover, more than 25 screws; I took the opportunity to clean the fan) but when I turned on the computer and BIOS the Hitachi drive is recognized as an optical drive!

    You can see an image here:

    After that I could get into Windows 7 (64), disk management recognizes it as a disk, but is unable to initialize. After restarting the computer, I can't get Windows anymore, because it directly goes to the recovery mode.

    Any help would be appreciated! Is it possible to do the BIOS to recognize the second disk as a hard drive?

    Carlos

    + The message was edited: faulty link has been removed.

    First I would recommend you to check the boot device order.
    No doubt the STRANGE was set first boot device and portable tries to boot from the HARD drive that is connected to the controller of the STRANGE.
    If this does not work, delete the old HDD Hitachi, reset the default BIOS and try to start once more.

    To be honest I'm not quite sure if the BIOS would support such configuration Mr. I mean not all laptops can be upgraded with a 2nd HDD and in many cases, the BIOS would bear not the HDD installed in the ODD Bay so this configuration can cause problems.

  • Seagate drive in the BIOS but can't see it in the file manager

    Earlier this week, I installed a Solid State Drive as my boot drive. It works very well. I want to use 2 TB Seagate that came with my Inspiron 3847 as backup devices (slave) and I also want to take 10 Windows out of it. I can see the drive in device (drive 1) Manager and in the BIOS (SATA 2), but I can't see it in the file manager so I can reformat the drive. This particular model (ST2000DM001-1ER64) has no jumpers to set it as a slave drive. Seagate said it is automatic. I am stuck as to how I solve this problem. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi ssd user,.

    Happy new year!

    There is no such thing as master or slave with SATA drives. Try to go to disk management, search your drive and check if a drive letter has been attributed to it. I suspect that you must select a drive letter, then it should appear in the file Explorer.

  • Original image has disappeared I think off the hard drive and the BIOS password set up does not work?

    Someone please help me with this!

    I bought this laptop from a friend (have receipt) who sell it to me because the screen was cracked and spidered all out when you the activated. And everywhere he went to ask to get the screen fixed it is very expensive ($250 - $350) and he said that it would be just a newer laptop. So he sold me this which is a model Probook of HP4420s XT940UT #ABA. About a week after I bought this Probook friend who sold it to died me suddenly. It was sudden and terrible. Some time later, I had the time of the purchase of the LCD for this model, replace it myself (was very easy actually) and booted up the laptop with a new installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Edition. After installing all my software and using the laptop for a while now, I wanted to get into the Bios that I've never done. So when I started the laptop, click ESC, then F10 to enter the BIOS, there were two places to enter a password is different then all Dell I've ever owned. One was mine I guees I put in place using HP protect tools and the other says BIOS/administrator. Well I can do most of the changes with the one I put in place with my password but my password does not work, nor can I get in some very significant changes that I wanted to do using Bios/administrator, as kindling the LoJack, namely the blocking of the hard drive etc. , turning on turbo boost, fan, etc. Well, since the person I bought is no longer with us, there is no one to turn to the answer to this question of administrator/BIOS password / problem.  I tried to take battery Rtype and restore that way, didn't work. Several times, I called HP and they sent me to a BIOS page to download the same BIOS, I have already, would not let me install it. When I bring up the command prompt and do not put anything in BiosConfigureUtility.exe happens, said just a wrong command. When I try to enter the BIOS through the C: file in the files of the SSM, I reach the BiosConfigUtility.exe file, click on it to open it and it just flashes a way small order page to fast to read what it says. I would like to have complete control over my laptop thinking I have a lot of time and money invested in it now. The problem would have something to do with installing the 64 bit version of Windows 7 instead of the 32 bits guess what it initially provided with?  Where can I find the UUID and what tech Department I would ask because if I have to call HP again and what other information should I have ready for them if you know? I have all the manuals and they say that this laptop is compatible with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit Pro is what I installed. I'm mixed responses from many different people on this and would like an answer from HP someone who has experience in dealing with the BIOS in the Probooks business models if possible please. I really like this Probook and have since become a big fan of most HP, Dell and Lenovo.  I intend to buy two probooks, one for my wife and one for my daughter because this one is like a MacBook, but better.  Thank you for reading this and I hope someone can help with more than one answer then GET AHOLD OF HP TECHNICAL TEAM. As I said, I did it.

    Model: HP Probook 4420 s

    Type: XT940UT #ABA

    Jason,

    Sorry to hear about your friend and your problem.  The BIOS password cannot be reset without the help of HP.  They will need some information from your PC and increase your case.  I recommend you give them a call.

  • Satellite M200 - password HARD drive in the BIOS

    My M200 HARD drive doesn't have to (if Windows does not start) and I am replaced with a new HARD drive.
    I do not have the recovery discs so I will try to install windows from CD,.

    When installing it it does not find new HARD drive.
    When I go into the BIOS, I see the HARD drive, but it has a password disk HARD message is frozen.

    Has anyone encountered this before?
    I have to do something after I installed the new HARD drive?

    Hello

    It seems that the HARD drive password has been set on this HARD drive.
    Generally, you cannot remove this password HARD drive if it s not known to you.
    So, if you n t know this password HARD drive, then you will not be able to use this HARD drive ;(

    Hello

    Mylène for the long post - but think if give good info, I poss of correct answer:

    After the crash of QOSMIO G20... managed to reinstall of XP Recovery DVD-ROM. Immed after, looked at the config with Win Explorer and two hard drives all present and correct. even copied a picture of my images on the D: drive, just to make sure that all aok.

    Then downloaded SP3 and tried to install - it reported failure and then shut down the PC. After attempts to get again - until finally resorted to reuse the Recovery DVD-ROM.
    Come back XP again - but now, while the BIOS sees two hard drives (reports size, Fab details, etc.), as far as Windows is concerned, it does not exist.

    Tried to initialize in disk management - no sign there.
    He was then released, put it in a shopping cart, connected to the office and initialized and formatted - then returned to mobile... zilch!

    Your kind suggestions and recommendations could save just the remaining strands terrified of hair of a violent end...

    A lot of TIA

    Hello House,

    Normally, if the BIOS recognizes the HARD drive, but not Windows, this means that the HARD disk is not formatted, but it must be visible under the Windows disk management.
    You see it now?

    If not it is not easy to say what the reason are you should try load default settings in the BIOS and save it. Then start Windows and check if HDD is visible there too.

    In the worst case, it s that a malfunction of the HARD disk controller, but what you can test if swap you the two drives and put them in another location.

    Also does not work when I try to reinstall the system (boot from cd drive is not found).
    It is possible to open my CD Rom, is light flashing everything looks just ok I can't use it.
    I would say that I need drivers for the cdrom or whatever, I don't really know.

    I was looking at this forum all night, until now. Please help me with this, it's URGENT. I was trying to install a lots different drivers, nothing has worked.

    Please someone contact me here or at the [email protected] as soon as possible.
    Thank you so much everyone.
