LY580 - installation of windows 8 on SSD

I would like to install windows 8 on my SSD instead of upgrading my copy of windows at the standard C disk. However, during the installation of windows 8, I says that it cannot install on this disk because it has a MBR partition table and EFI systems require GPT disks. When I try to change that in disk management, I note that the SSD is not configured as a full disc, but is rather a volume of disk 0 with the HARD drive. How would I change this so that I can install windows 8 on this drive?

Thanks for any help

I had the same problem. Guess that's the problem with the config RapidDrive. PC with RapidDrive are not upgrading to Windows 8.

I suggest:

Quick tool allows to separate your HARD and SSD drive

Pure install Windows 8 on SSD

Go to the link below and read the last post on the page by BinaryInk

These instructions will help you activate Windows 8, even if you only have an upgrade key. (That worked for me)

http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-windows_install/Windows-8-Pro-upgrade-Pro...

and use the SSD and HDD separately for now.

Finally wait for Lenovo release RapiDrive for windows 8 as promised.

  • Installation of Windows 7 on SSD HP drive

    We have three HP 8300 Elite SFF machines in our headquarters. All came with Windows 7 pre-installed on the hard drives of 500 GB.

    I bought two genuine HP SSD drives (with 120 GB Intel), but cannot install Windows 7 on them because the provided installation HP discs report that the new disks are too small!

    I contacted HP about this and told me that the recovery disks only supports hard drives, initially installed on the machine, (i.e. 500 GB) or a larger size. I'd like a 960 GB SSD, but I'm not too keen on the cost!

    The obvious solution would be to buy packs of sale at retail of Windows 7, but I hesitate to buy expensive software when I already have a license.

    I had thought to resize the partition of HARD drive, less than 120 GB and copy of data across using a disk image but the facility could be optimized for a hard drive instead of the SSD, and it would probably go to default defragmentation!

    There is no work around that I could use to install Windows 7 from the restore disks original, I want to get these new discs work?

    Any advice welcome.

    Nigel.

    Please see "how to install Windows 7 without the disc" for instructions how to install a new copy of Windows 7 on your computer by using the key of HP OEM Windows 7 SLP/SLIC of factory (not the 25-digit number on the COA), the activation OEM HP certificate factory and BIOS of the computer. Please see below for step by step instructions;

    (1) download and unzip ABR Beta with Windows 7 Support. This is the homepage of ABR for Windows Vista. Please follow the section "How to use" for information and instructions on how to use it. These steps also apply to Windows 7. Perform the 'activation' backup and save the certificates and keys retrieved in several external locations. The key and the certificate for each computer should be the same. (He gets the certificate of your factory installed OS and HP preinstalled OEM factory original key)

    (2) install Windows 7, after all the guests as needed. Don't let not Windows try to scoped. Run ABR 'restoration of activation' to 'install' the previously saved until the product key and the certificate. Make sure that Windows is activated, repeat "restoration of activation" until Windows 7 is activated. (It "installs" pre-installed HP OEM factory original key and certificate from your factory installed OS to your new installation of Windows. This HP OEM key and certificate are what allows your computer to HP be factory preactivated.)

    (3) install all drivers from the computer. These can be found on the support page HP for your computer, or you can find newer drivers on the various websites of the manufacturers of component... Intel, NVidia, AMD/ATI, Ralink, Realtek, etc..

  • Installation of Windows 8 with SSD

    My computer crashed and I reinstalled Windows 8, but the disk partition that is created is then very unhappy: Windows and all other programs are installed on my SSD, it is completely filled. Can I fix this without having to re - reinstall Windows? Can I move windows normal hard disk parts? Or if I have to reinstall Windows, what should I do what disc use optimal?

    Hello

    To start... what type of installation media that you are using?

    Is this a real Win 8 installation DVD, or is it a disc that you created to restore the factory machine, or even a drive you've purchased from the manufacturer of the computer?

    It makes a difference as to how the process works...

    If you use a disc of 8 Win, you should be able to do a CUSTOM INSTALLATION, and then choose the location.

    If you use the manufacturers pre-install discs, you probably have the opportunity to...

    Whatever it is, you should probably hook an SSD... Also delete EVERYTHING on the HARD drive...

    If you are not using a Flash drive install, I think you need to upgrade the BIOS to the legacy...

    There seems to be a way to use THE installation DVD, but I do not think that a standard, it will work...

    This link can be useful... It also contains a link to the instructions to create a disk for Installation of Flash...

  • K320: how to install windows on a SSD?

    To speed up my system, I bought a 64 GB SSD. The idea was to install windows 7 64 on this disc and the same boot from that. HARD original (1 TB) disk is intended to use for data application only.

    I added the SSD successfully to my system, but it seems impossible to install windows and make it bootable? I can't use recovery tools because my original system is also longer than 64 GB.

    My preferred plan is to unplug the HARD drive and start with the SSD from scratch (so if there are problems during the installation, I can easily switch back to my old system).

    Any ideas how to proceed?

    Thank you

  • ENVY Touchsmart series of J000 15 (J001TX) optional mSATA slot for installation of Windows?

    1. the question of if we can install a drive 60-120 GB mSATA in mSATA slot and use it as the place of installation of Windows? It would be like having a configuration double hard drive if windows is installed on the mSATA and the 5400 RPM HARD drive is formatted? I know that this could affect the warranty but I'm curious.

    2. also is all models of car mSATA in black list/white list by HP?

    Hello

    Q1: Yes, you can install Windows on a module mSATA on this laptop...

    http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/HP-envy-HDX/729085-envy-15T-J000-mSATA-SSD-HDD-fresh-install-mSATA-boot-drive.html

    I recommend to remove the hard drive if the how does not say that. MSATA module is compatible, so I do not think that this will affect the warranty.

    Q2: Difficult to answer this one, but some guy already confirmed that Samsung PM830 256 GB drives to work with this series. Other models also work, just search this forum...

    Q3: The mSATA can be used as cache or a boot disk. If it will be useful to cache it will not work with 12 GB or more according to the manual of the laptop series. If it will be used as boot drive should not be a limitation, so you can use the max 16 GB or so.

    Q4: mSATA is a format standard/interface/so any mSATA SSD must correspond to the slot, the capacity is not serious.

    Q5: As I said mSATA is an interface (slot), SATA II or III (speed) is a matter of the chip on the motherboard. This is the case even as the typical SATA connection. Connectors and slots are the same, but the speed is founded by the chipset...

  • 1515eo: move Windows OEM to SSD

    Hello

    I make one of these SSD on my HP PC. And I want to transfer my operating system to it.

    Now my question is, how do I activate windows when I have the OEM windows where I think that the key is activated for my motherboard. How can I transfer my windows on my SSD.

    I had Windows 8 early on, now I have upgraded to windows 10.

    @Peos98001: activation of the Win10 is, in fact, related to the motherboard - but you say nothing about how to change that.

    Information from the hard drive is not part of the activation information stored on the servers of activation of Ms.  Once a machine (Microsoft refers to it as a 'device') is activated, you can change the hard disk (and other components) as often as you want and it will remain activated.

    How do I know this? Simple - I did EXACTLY what you plan to do - migrate my installation Win10 of a HDD to SSD.  And when I rebooted with the SSD, the activation remained intact - there wasn't anything I had to do.

    Good luck

  • Installation of Windows 7 64 bit on hp Envy 4 t-1100

    I'm a little trouble to get Windows 7 installed on my new ultrabook (Envy 4 t-1100). I do not like windows 8 and want to continue to use Windows 7. I also installed an OCz vertex 3 240 GB SSD in my laptop as well

    Initially, I had a difficult time for the SSD to recognize in the BIOS, but after a few edits, there is a setting in the bios to enable the CSM allow the former support for older OS.

    Now I can boot from a CD with the Win7 installation CD. It gets to the point where it asks you where you want to install the operating system, but I get a message "a required cd/dvd driver is missing" I found this

    http://Ava.co.UK/support/FAQ/General/a-required-CDDVD-drive-device-driver-is-missing-Windows-install...

    He basically said that I need to load the driver for the CD see my SSD.

    So next time, I go to HP site for the drivers and I downloaded the driver Intel rapid storage and extract to a folder. I installed this driver on USB without success. I downloaded quite a few other drivers on the HP page, but none of them does not seem to work. I'm at a loss to know which driver should I have to get the installation CD to recognize the SSD.

    The seller that I ordered this to go I was assured I could get loaded Win7 on this thing without any problem, but I've never had a difficult time just load windows.

    I managed to solve this problem and successfully installed Win 7 on this laptop.

    Once I have converted the Win 7 Iso to Bootable flash drive and started to install it I had to hit Cancel once I had "a required driver is required" message. Once canceled to go back to the main screen for the Windows installation. Disconnect the USB flash drive and plug it into another port. Then continue as usual.

    A note: I started the drive connected to a USB 3.0 port, it removed after cancelled and plugged into the other port 3.0. Who has not worked for me. For some reason, I had to switch from USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 port.

    Never seen anything like this for her but I got it working. Thanks for all the help that if!

  • Try to use the System Image to migrate from Windows 7 for SSD for boot upward

    Hello

    I have a new computer Windows 7 operting.   I'm trying to migrate my OS to SSD for faster boots, etc..

    I first tried various 3rd party applications such as EaseUS Partition Master and Reflect, all futile for unknown reasons.

    Now I'm having problems using the built-in tool "Create a System Image" Windows 7.

    The Image of the system seems to be created properly and is listed in the appropriate folder.   The next step is to use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to save the ISO file, then use this ISO on the DSS file.

    Unfortunately, despite all that I've read to the contrary, the file created by windows wasn't an ISO... it saved as a VHD file.   The download tool cannot copy VHD - only ISOs.

    Microsoft technical support suggested that I have post the question.   All the patches?

    Thanks in advance!

    What happens when you boot the system repair disc?  If necessary, you will need to enter your BIOS Setup utility and make your optical drive the first boot device.

    You have created the system image includes everything: the files of your operating system, your application to the program folder and your data.  Assuming that you have already used your system for awhile and so Windows, your installed programs and files total user more than 128 GB, the image does not fit on the SSD.

    If everything except your totals of less than 128 GB user files, then a possible scenario would be to backup all your files from user to some external medium data, confirm that the backup is valid, and then delete the files from the current hard drive.  Then make an image of system of what's left (which is now less than 128 GB) and restore that image on the SSD.  You create a new user profile and then copy your files from backup data on disk 1 to and link to your user profile in the user data (see tip below).

    Another alternative, especially if you have more than 128 GB used even without your data, is to do a clean Windows 7 on SSD install, reinstall all your application files, specifying as much as possible of the facilities is located on the 1 TB drive and your profile link to the data of the user on the 1 TB drive.

    This trick of sevenforums.com can help with the problem of having windows on the SSD and your data on the disk rotation:

    If you are simply wanting to save files HARD disk space in your user folders, you might consider this below in order to access the files in your library with the actually located files where you want to place. This way you won't have to worry about the potential problems that come with mobile user folder locations.

    To do a clean install of Windows 7 on your SSD, follow the instructions here to get a file ISO of Windows 7 to the same version of Windows 7 that is preinstalled on your computer: https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/67-microsoft-windows-and-office-iso-download-tool burn the image on a DVD (Note: you can not just copy the files, use the built-in tool to burn dvd of Windows 7 or free third-party tool like ImgBurn).  Use the product key from the label on your computer (not the key retrieved by using a key finder program) to activate Windows.  See https://techingiteasy.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/how-to-activate-windows-7-oem-license-using-a-retail-disc/

    If this all sounds complicated - it is, and I haven't provided all the details - you can consider getting the help of a local independent computer repair shop (not a chain of stores).  Just make sure you get a real installation of Windows 7.

  • Image windows 7 on SSD

    I just bought an SSD (128 GB) and want to install it on my machine Windows 7 Home 64 bit as a source for Windows 7 and my programs.  Windows 7 is currently on my 1.5 to C: drive.  I want to transfer files from Windows 7, the program and the user to the SSD hard drive.  I temporarily moved all the data files from my hard drive to an external drive.  After the transfer when I select all the remaining files on the C drive, including the windows 7 program folder and files of the user and display the properties of these files, it amounts to about 70 GB.  However, when I view my C drive properties, it is reported 270 GB of used space.  I don't know where the other 200 GB come and I can't get the image of the hard drive at this level.  Please suggest how I can check what is on my C drive and how can I reduce it less than 128 GB.  Thank you for your help.

    Image of Windows 7 and move them to the new hard drive (one of the many ways)

    Windows 7 has a built-in Imaging program, but I wouldn't recommend it when moving to another hard disk. Connect the new hard drive to the computer (as a slave if IDE, or connect it to the outside if you can via USB), then partition the new drive, so it has two partitions (or use a second partition on the old disk hard if the new drive is not very big) - the last partition being a little larger then the amount of data on your current hard drive. If you have a large amount of data (music/video, etc.) moving to an external storage separately will considerably reduce the size of the image. Also make sure your partition that you move that Windows 7 is the same size or larger, then the current partition.

    Make now a picture of your current hard drive with either programs below and save it to the last partition on your new drive. If you have the recovery of 100MB partition do not forget to include that. After you have created the image restore the image on the disk hard nine - you must restore windows on the first partition (or second if you have the recovery of 100 MB partition). But if you have a unique configuration then it implemented the same thing your player running. You may need to remove/change the partitions that you have done for the new hard drive when restoring the Windows image. Please be aware that in the computer imagery of the world does not always work, but your original data should not be adversely affected. You may need to reactivate after moving to the new hard disk.

    If you can not have two drives connected at the same time you can chose save image on DVD. Then replace the old drive and DVD to restore windows to the new hard drive.

    The two programs are completely free (and there are others available). Both allow you to make a boot disk to start the recovery, and the two programs allow you to divide the multiple DVD backup:
