New Inspiron 17RSE and a new SSD

I've seen a number of posts related to people who want to add an SSD to their system and there seems to be a number of different scenarios.

I installed my 120 GB SSD in my 17RSE brand new (happened last night), originally in the free HARD drive slot, but have cloned the original HARD disk, I moved to the Bay's first drive, hoping he might be picked up by starting Windows in the main drive (but it wasn't).

No matter what I do, I can't get the SSD that is recognized by the computer.

After trying every way without success, I decided to do an installation of Windows 7, followed by an upgrade to Windows 8 that I bought for my old laptop.

Everything's fine until it came time to activate windows. The operation has failed and I was informed that windows 8 button integrated in my Inspiron do not serve with a retail version of Windows.

I've tried everything I can to get the SSD in and work, but the combined efforts of Dell and Microsoft have managed to ruin my day and wasting many hours of my time.

Does anyone know how to get this sorted out please?

Technical support UK supplied the OEM Windows 8 DVD and I have no more problems. It's too bad that I had to combat a problem that has been solved so easily and could be avoided by including the DVD of the operating system with the new computer. I'll have to weigh these aspects during the review of my next laptop. Thanks for your help.

  • Inspiron 17R-N7010 new SSD installed, now I need Windows 7 operating system installation CD.

    Hi guys,.

    So my HDD on my Inspiron 17R-N7010 completely stock * on me last week, so I just gritted my teeth and just bought I have completely new SDS and installed last night... now, however, I need to reinstall the operating system. Problem is that when I bought the laptop, Windows 7 is pre-installed, so I don't have to drive to it. How can I do to get an installation disc, and how much it will cost if I can get my laptop up and running again? It's an outdated OS and the laptop is almost 6 years, I can't imagine which costs a lot. There is also a store Microsoft directly by me, can I go ahead and buy the disc of Windows 7 OS you think?

    In addition, the original HARD drive was 640GO and this new SSD is 500 GB, so the recovery disks that I made when I got the laptop are unnecessary since Dell Datasafe Recovery (or whatever we call it) keeps telling me the hard drive needs to at least 590GB of space (or something similar along this message). The smallest space on the SSD isn't going to be a problem with the laptop in general or during installation of operating system Windows 7 is?

    You will need to call Dell - they usually sell a set of recovery media for about $25 in the United States, the United Kingdom and the Canada.

  • EliteBook 8470P: new ssd is installed and functional, but unrecognized

    Hi everyone again. Just, I installed my new ssd Samsung 850 EVO and made a system image recovery. The computer works exactly as it always has, but does NOT show the new ssd when I click on computer.

    However, when I go to disk management, that's what I see:

    The drive is online but must be evenly distributed on the C: drive. Can someone tell me how to get this mess straightened out? Thank you once again to all those who can help you.

    Hello

    Nothing wrong with that. You have C: and another partition (to spare), which is not allocated. You can use this spare partition part as a second disc to store data or add it to the C:

  • Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!

    Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!  Gee, who could have possibly guessed that would happen?  I tried all kinds of silly workarounds, I found on the internet, but still it will not register the stack of DVDs and other discs I have.

    If you're like me and upgraded your iMac that came with a cd/dvd drive internal... so he has to come out to give way to the fusion or the SSD drive, do NOT buy the apple superdrive.  It will work with your computer!

    Think I'll get a laptop samsung...

    Ironic, isn't it? Own Apple SuperDrive will not work with Apple computers. Shame you don't check here first that we would have warned you. Return Apple overpriced and buy a nice third-party player for a third of the price. I love the LG units. You can consider a loading plate because they are more reliable, and you can use these pesky disc when you get one.

  • New SSD + RAM and mbp worsened?

    Data sheet: 2010 13-inch, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MBP

    8 GB ram

    SSD 256 g

    System: el capitan

    Hey guys, quick question: thought I'd give my mbp a second life recently and traded the BLAH new ssd hard drive and is increased from 4 GB to 8 GB of ram.

    Kept reading other users as their like new mbp...

    On the contrary to me: it is slow, programs, videos offset, always have the beach ball. WiFi is always terrible, compared to when I had the mavericks. It is also very often about 80 degrees with the fan blowing...

    It almost feels like the new ram made 'worse', is it possible?

    If it of too 'old' to manage el capitan, should I just wipe and go back to the Mavericks (my original system)?

    Or try sth else?

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Please provide the brand (s) of RAM and SSD drive you have installed.

    Using the Dell recovery disks to reinstall?

    The origonal drive failed?

    If you are using a real MS win dvd during the first part of the installation it can not find a drive or ask a driver, then the driver is obtained from Dell, specific to your model, its likely the driver sata, you need to download to say a USB and then point to this file when the installation application the third-party driver.

    Hello

    Glad you got it going... If I had to guess, it was very likely updates .net 3.5, which has caused the problem... or maybe, Net 4.5...

    They require a process runs to complete their installation that seems to start running in the middle of updates remaining to try to install...

    My SSD with a version of Dreamweaver CS6 running crashed. Now a new SSD is installed and every time I try to reinstall DW CS6 error "inconsistency in the database Setup" (in German terms) occurs. I tried to delete everything about CS6, rebootet and so forth--nothing worked. Two hours later, I tried to install DW 5.5 - that worked. Then I tried again to install 6.0 - without success. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for your response. I could not find caps.db.

    Meanwhile, I solved the problem as follows: I searched "dreamweaver" everywhere one deleted all that I could find. Then I googled "CS6" and did the same. I guess that there are around 20 or more places where I deleted files or directories. Suddenly, installation has not prevented, to 2%, what he has always done before and the installation was a success :-) It cost me more than 4 hours to understand this, and I have found a trick somewhere really help. Adobe itself I could not contact because I couldn't find an email address or a phone number - poor support for such expensive software. For luck, I didn't deliver something just in time. Missing a useful support, it's an attitude really poor, poor Adobe... I think that I do not buy not more products Adobe - it could cost too much of my time... :-(

  • Upgrade of equipment and went from XP to Win7 - how do I transfer/install CS5 on the new SSD?

    I've recently updated the workings of my computer; new mobo, Samsung SSD (solid state drive), CPU and ram. Continued XP Pro Windows 7 Pro with Win 7 Pro now residing on the new solid state drive. I still have the old 1 TB Serial ATA hard drive connected as a storage device, and that is CS5. But of course my CS5 applications are now unusable.

    Can someone please give me some advice on how to transfer the old HD (XP Pro) CS5 installation for the new SSD (Win 7 Pro)? I started to do some research and reading on the first "off-setting" CS5, but I can't open any of my CS5 applications to 'disable '. So I'm puzzled. I am reluctant to try a new installation of my disks in CS5, until I learn the regular procedure...

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Mac Pro early 2008 OS 10.6.8 at 10.11 on a new SSD upgrade

    Hi all!

    I want to spend my Mac Pro hard drive to an SSD with a new installation of El Capitan, but I also want to continue to use Adobe CS3 (I can't afford a new version... > _ <).  I read that some people have a lot of problems after upgrading their operating system, even when you use the legacy of Java 6 to CS3.

    Someone at - it good tutorials step by step to install a new OS on a SSD?  I have the adapter for my Mac to use the SSD drive also.  I'm not * that * tech savvy, so I don't want to spoil anything!  :\

    Would it not be possible to keep my current hard drive with Snow Leopard and run Parallels or Fusion for Adobe CS3 on my SSD?  I've never used Parallels or Fusion (preferences?), so where the Snow Leopard operating system to be need?  On a partition on the SSD or can it be on its own hard drive (the one I'm currently using)?

    Also do not know when I improve my OS, how do I tell my Mac to start El Capitan and not Snow Leopard so I keep the older operating system on its own hard drive?  It is system-> startup disk preferences?  Is that how I can go back, if I need to?

    Here are my specs:

    Mac Pro early 2008 (MacPro 3,1)

    Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.8 Ghz

    16 GB RAM 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM

    HARD drive 500GBx2 (one is currently my Time Machine, I'll use it as a backup of my photos)

    500GB SSD (no not in my Mac still installed)

    4 TB HARD drive (will have Time Machine on half)

    El Capitan would be really slow on my Mac Pro or should I go with the Mavericks or Yosemite?  I'm just trying to extend the life of my Mac as long as possible!

    I'm really sorry for all the questions!  Thank you very much for any help!  ^____^

    ~ Christina ~.

    -Unless you have already "purchased" Mavericks or Yosemite is is not available for download.

    -I just download the installer of El Capitan from the Mac App Store and run it and order that EL Capitan to be installed on the new SSD. You can then by pressing the Option key at startup to choose which version of the OS you want to boot from. You can set either as the default startup in system preferences > startup disk.

    -During installation, you use the configuration wizard to migrate SN drive stuff. YO can also do it later using Migration Assistant but who has created a new used with the migrated data.

    -With 16 GB of RAM and an SSD El Capitan will be fine

  • Should I partition my new SSD once I install it?

    End of 2011 MBP 17 inch

    A new SSD Crucial. I have heard some say that you should partition the new drive before you reinstall a new copy of Mac OS x. Is this true?

    Yes. True for all new hard drives or readers drawn from non-Apple computers. Here's what you can do:

    Net Clean Install of El Capitan

    1. Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command + Option + R until a globe appears.
    2. The Utility Menu appears in 5 to 20 minutes. Be patient.
    3. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
    4. When loading disk utility, select the drive (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
    5. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
    6. Set the GUID partition scheme.
    7. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
    8. Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.
    9. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
    10. Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.
