New SSD AHCI identified as carriers of ROM Mode

I installed a new 512 GB SSD AHCI in a DT120 adapter and plugged into a PCI bus on my Mac Pro 2012.

Disk utility sees the SSD as a media of ROM MODE and not allow it to format.

Any ideas? I tried two different adapters without success.

I forgot to clarify that the above SSD is of type m2.

The latest version of Trim Enabler also sees the SSD as a media of ROM MODE.

  • XPS M1530 with new SSD will not identify adapter WLAN 1395

    I just bought a new SSD 128 GB for my old workhorse XPS M1530, installed a clean VISTA Ultimate 32 bit OS since the original DVD supplied with the laptop.  Everything works except the wireless 1395 adapter.

    I know that the material of the wifi card is good, because wifi still works when I put the old 64 GB SSD back in. I use the same version of WLAN driver on the new facility.  Device Manager indicates that the adapter is installed and working properly.  Yet the computer with the new SSD does not recognize that the wireless network adapter is installed and activated.

    I use the WLAN driver and BIOS version recommended Support Dell for my service number.  These are the same versions that I have on the former SSDS.

    I'm tempted to reformat the new SSD and start all over again, but that takes a lot of time to reinstall everything. And I wouldn't waste 10 GB on the new SSD to install the recovery partition on the new SSD which lies on the former SSDS and do a restore on the new SSD.  I have more certain supplied software preinstalled on your laptop.

    I made an another clean install of the operating system on the new SSD, and this time, I found and used the Drivers and Utilities of original disc that came with the laptop to install the DELL software system utility first.  That did the trick, because when I installed the drivers of that era, the WLAN 1395 works.

    Now I have a space wasting a 22 Gb Windows.old directory, but I am happy.  I'm going to reformat the drive in the morning then it is plugged to my laptop in an external USB SATA drive enclosure and start with a clean car and redo the OS install again, this time properly.

    It's a bit ironic that the DELL system software utility has not been showing available for my service on the support.dell.com site tag.

    Lesson learned.  I'll post tomorrow how the last OS install goes on the SSD clean and new.

  • Adding a new SSD on Satellite P70-A-107

    Hello

    Recently bought a Toshiba Satellite P70-107-A. It has a 1 t HARD drive and another empty location where I can put another SSD or HARD disk.

    I already have orderedt an SSD (840 pro) and I think puts it in slot 1 with the system and put the 1 t HARD drive in slot 2. I created a usb media recovery with Recovery Media Creator Toshiva with the recovery of the computer image.

    My question is: can I just put the SSD in slot 1 and to boot via USB and make recovery directly on the SSD? The bios will recognize the SSD?

    I need to install any drivers for bios recognize the SSD?
    Also heard that it was necessary to activate the AHCI, but I don't see this option in the bios.

    Thank you.

    If you have the original recovery media, I think that everything should be OK.
    Only put the SSD and then install original recovery image. When it's all over and the operating system is installed properly, you can add second drive.

    When you put the new SSDS go to parameters of the BIOS, check if the SSD is recognized correctly, the value of the BIOS default settings and continue with the installation of the OS (original recovery image).
    Please post comments.

  • Reference Dell T5400 new SSD not recognized

    I'm having a problem with the installation of a new SSD on my T5400. Ultimatly I want to load the operating system and all the software on the SSD and then install a 2nd hard drive SSD of same type and size to store my files.

    My specific situation is:

    Previously a poweredge 6 / i sas card scsi perc 6 with the installation of 500 GB HD (2) RAID 0, Win 7 pro 64 bit.

    I removed the adapter perc 6 and installed a new Samsung 850 Evo 500 gb SSD on sata 0 position. I'm trying to do a fresh reload of the OS on the SSD with the bios (Version 11) set to Raid Autodetect/AHCI selected.

    During the installation of windows, it does not see the SSD and seeks pilots continue. I tried to find the appropriate drivers on the website of dell for my system and the unziped NautilusDOSA48_ZPE, put on a USB key. He looked for a driver, but windows has returned a message 'no driver signed found. Of note is that I was able to remove my other format of the underdisk of configuration management and create a simple volume on disk.

    Issues related to the:

    Is the withdrawal of the RAID card affecting the installation, was it the previous series of drivers that I seem to be missing? If so how can I work around this?

    Leaves the RAID card to and not connected to the drive or connect to the card and a raid configuration, a configuration option 'no '? If so is it a good idea?

    I visited the dell support site and found what I thought was the best set of drivers for my system and SSD (NautilusDOSA48_ZPE) is suitable for my application driver or is there a better one avalible?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Todd,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I currently have the readers installed and running on my system

    In response to your answer, yes Bios A11 had been installed for more than a year, removed the card activated before installing the SSD raid and AHCI.

    The question, it turns out that was a simple, as I said after enabling the AHCI I thought that ports 0 and 1 auto detects new readers, they do not have. Once I have manually configured ports on in the Bios, the system recognizes the new SSD and they work now.

    Best

  • the upgrade of the disk sata hard to new ssd sata 3 disc 1

    I have Hp m9510 running windows 7 64 bit home edition.  The motherboard is ASUS IPIBL-LB (Benicia), my drive sata hard existing 1 running in raid mode.  I want to add a new SATA of SDS 3 as a new startup disc and leave the player sata 1 existing as a backup.  Insofar as the motherboard is built for sata 1, if I install a sata pci card 3 I will then be able to obtain the transfer of higher data rates of the new ssd without causing other problems?

    If your current configuration has a single disc, then your default would be AHCI.

    RAID stands for redundant array or inexpensive disks and requires two or more physical hard disks for the implementation.

    In this case the preferred configuration would also be AHCI. It's a SATA mode. (Advanced host configuration interface) His replacement is IDE (emulation) mode

  • Windos 8 clean installation of a new SSD

    I have problems, do a clean install of Windows 8 for a new SSD.

    I'm suing the 64-bit Windows 8 pro upgrade CD - in the retail box.

    The BIOS is set to AHCI. I told the computer to boot from the CD/DVD drive. I put the SSD in an Icy Dock adapter.  I replaced the hard C with an SSD drive.  I unplugged the second HD and all USB devices except the keyboard and mouse. Everything seemed OK.  (I checked the connectors and did several times.) I inserted disk pro upgrade Windows 8 and power running.  He went through the usual initial installation.  He then asked "where do you want to install windows? It shows no disc.  He assane "we haven't found all the disks.  For a storage driver, click on load a driver. »

    After clicking on load a driver, it says "to install the device driver for your drive, insert the installation media containing the driver files, and then click OK. Note the installation media can be a flash drive, CD, DVD, or USB. "There are browse and recan buttons, which do not help.

    Clicking OK search a little while and then he said: 'no signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers. »

    Well, no disk not supplied with the SSD (a crucial M500 960GB).

    I have triple checked the connections, and they seem OK.

    I'm stuck at this point - what could be the problem?

    ======

    Added: This computer (I use another right now) came with Win7, but I upgraded to Win8 with the upgrade of the box retail, then to 8.1 with the download from the shop Windows.  He then worked with Win 8 and 8.1.  If I put the HD in, it works as it did, but I need to do a clean install on the new SSD.

    Well Yes may be the card it connects directly to the port

    Well, I took the SSD to the Icy Dock adapter and taped in temporarily, and he now sees the SSD!  I checked the SSD into the adapter and it seemed safe.  He hung in place, etc.

    And now it's 'customize '.

    Thanks a lot (and everyone else).

  • 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

  • Failed to install the new SSD on OSX support!

    Hello!

    I'd be happy if anyone of you could help me out here!

    I have questions, try to install a new own OSX on a new SSD on my Macbook Pro mid-2012.

    I have done this before on an Evo 840 500 GB Samsung without problems.
    This time, I use a Samsung Evo 850 1 TB, but when I try to install OSX it won't let me.

    I use (command + R to start) recovery mode and as a first step in disk utility, I couldn't format the new SSD in Mac OS x journaled, it just stopped at 50%.
    Then, I swapped the SSD for a normal (Non - SSD) hard drive, installed OS x on this drive without problem and formatted the SSD drive in disk utility on this new OSX on the HARD drive regularly after putting the SSD drive in an external enclosure.

    After that, I swapped for the formatted SSD HARD drive, but I still cannot install OSX. In disk utility from recovery mode it is said "not mounted" under the mount in the info Point. I tried the strength to mount it in a Terminal too, but it will not be displayed as installable disk mounted when you run OSX installation.

    Help greatly appreciated!

    The SSD will appear in disk utility when it is connected to the MBP via USB?  If so, format it in disk and Carbon Copy Cloner utility to copy the internal HARD drive to external SSD.

    When you are finished, test the SSD by starting the MBP with the option key down key, and then click the SSD.  If she starts the MBP, then swap in the MBP.  If it does NOT then the MBP, internal SATA cable is suspect and should be replaced.

    Ciao.

  • retrieve the time backup machine for new ssd internal

    I had to replace my internal HD on a 2012 end iMac, so I went to SSD.

    I had saved my first system and files in Time Machine before that.

    What is the process of a) formatted internal SSD new and b) recovering the original of external backup Time Machine?

    As I have to reseal the iMac just to make it work, I don't want to have to open it again to play with the new SSD!

    Hope that you already have a boot USB OS X in hand disc (I always have a copy must have on hand).

    Plug the USB into the USB port and Time Machine,

    by key pressing 'option' as soon as 'chime' begins.

    You can choose the selection of the boot drive.

    OR

    If your SSD does not start on her file (e.g. blank) - it should start automatically via the USB.

    (a) - Yes, using "disk utility" - in the menu bar superior, to partition the drive (GUID) first

    (b) then choose 'continue' to install the OS X - at the end, you will be asked few options - recover via Time Machine.

    After the restoration, you can run a few updates so that the system will work like the old set up.

    Most of the software should work, but somehow, some software required "activation key" again.

    Those notorious - Rosetta Stone (language). -J' had to communicate with them, uninstall the old drive first.  Microsoft Office can be too fickle.

    Make sure that OS X are the same version (you can't have 10.11 on Time Machine, try using the boot USB 10.10 disk) targeted installed OS X must be the same or more recent than the OS X version of the time Machine.  For example, if your Time machine backup contains 10.10, then you can either use drive start USB 10.10 and 10.11 for the restore process.

    I have a Time Machine recently saved on an external backup. I tried to use internet to reinstall the OS, which worked. Then I sailed on my external hard drive for the restoration and my macbook sees from the outside, we see even the time machine backup, I did it yesterday but when I click on it, the following menu tells me that there is no time machine backups.

    Can I use the internet OS completely install and then use my outside for the Time Machine? But if there is a new version downloaded from the internet, which will interfere with the version that I have backed up on the outside?

    You may need to run TM at least once to get the dialog box "inherit the old TM" to appear, until it is recognized as a viable backup for your new drive.
