  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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Should I create pagefile on ramdisk with my new SSD?

  Hello

  Got my new SSD which is the only drive in my system now. To avoid the heavy writing on this drive, I bought Superspeed Ramdisk more (IE temporary files etc.). I have Windows Vista Business 32-bit with 4 GB of ram. The Ramdisk software is able to use the ram 512-1024 that Vista cannot use. In addition, this software can serialize the contents of ramdisk so that it IS possible to run the file here.

  I only use this portable desktop so I'm never near max on virtual memory.

  So, should I create my swap file on a virtual disk? And if so, it would be enough with 512 MB pagefile? Vista will allow me to set this parameter or create the pagefile on my boot drive, regardless of my settings?

  EDIT: Just for clarification and the difference of this thread and 1000 others, my concern here is the constant of writing in the pagefile on my SSD. Not the small gain (if any) the pagefile in Ram would produce...

  --

  SSD? Nice.

  I try and run the pagefile from the Ramdisk to be tested, according to your needs, you may have to go to the EHR.  However, you should have the system handle it anyway.  You can change it, but for now, since the system is new with lots of RAM, test how the virtual disk swap file works if this does not work for you.  You can still use the standard configuration with the swap file managed by the system on the disk.

  Unfortunately I am not too familiar with the Ramdisk software and good course:

• In any case, I can install the update of Windows 10 strictly on a whole new SSD?

  I would like help to know the best way to deal with this, I have Windows 7 on my HARD drive and I wanted to upgrade with another SSD just for files of windows for speed. Is there a way I can simply install the new windows 10 update on the SSD, then remove the old windows 7? Or what is the best way without backup everything and free files in all directions?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Can I perform a clean installation by using the free update?

  No, it will take you run an earlier version of qualification and start the update of the release candidate. You can run a clean install after completing the upgrade.

  Please be aware that you cannot use the free upgrade offer to perform a clean installation on the first attempt. You must first pass the qualification of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 version (if you do by Windows Update or using the.) ISO file). Ensure that the upgrade is completed successfully and ensure that it is enabled. You can then proceed to do a clean install using media recovery or using the Reset function in the start menu > settings > Update & security > Recovery > reset this PC (start).

  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...

• Update win 8 portable to a new SSD

  I have a Samsung ativ book 7 ultrabook with windows pre-installed 8 and no cd drive.  I want to improve the msata SSD 128 GB for a 480 GB ssd crucial msata.

  The process or what free software can I use to migrate win 8 to the new SSD.  I need the option of standard factory under windows settings reset 8 to continue to operate after the migration.

  Note, that I saw a few posts on download of iso retail copies win 8, then use the product key, but I know that won't work as my laptop has preinstalled windows 8 on it, not a retail version.  I know the support of Samsung will not help me either, I tried.

  I'm ready to buy an external enclosure usb 3.0 to migrate my victory msata 8 but I don't want to spend more money than that (it is why software acronis came out because only the paid version will migrate).

  Thank you.

  First, create a backup of your installation of Windows 8 on an external hard drive:

  http://techingiteasy.WordPress.com/2012/10/29/how-to-backup-your-Windows-8-installation/

  Then, create a repair disk:

  http://winsupersite.com/article/Windows8/Windows-8-tip-create-recovery-media-144098

  -Shutdown your computer.

  -Uninstall the SSD existing.

  -Install the new SSD.

  Boot from the recovery media that you create.

  Make sure that your external hard drive is plugged, plugged in and turned on.

  (a) in the screen install now

  (b) click on repair your computer

  (c) click on Advanced Options

  (d) click on troubleshoot

  Click on Advanced Options

  Click System Image recovery

  Wait while the System Image recovery is ready

  Choose your account

  Enter your password and click on continue

  See the following article for instructions on how to complete the restore:

  Once the restore is complete, you will be asked to reboot.

• 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.

• New SSD - windows 8 or 10 on el Capitan (iMac 2010)

  Dear people of Apple support!

  I may be one little different from others going on here and I hope that you guys can talk me through it. After days of trying, I'm a bit lost to be honest.

  About 5 days ago I received my iMac 27 "(mid-2010) updated with a new SSD (originally there was just the 1 TB HD)." The new SSD (which is 512 gb) has been in the position where the cd/dvd drive used to be (that I now can't use more). I now have the 1 TB and the new SSD upward and running with el Capitan installed on the new SSD. Works great!

  The main reason to go with the SSD is obviously to speed things up, but also because I wanted to have (8 or 10, I guess) installed Windows with Bootcamp on this SSD.

  The things I have tried/made up to now:

  -Have both iso of windows 8 and 10 loan

  -Edited my info.plist file where I remove the "Pre" just before USBBootSupportedModels to activate the option in BCA where you can create a bootable USB key

  -After trying the same mistakes with several usb occurs after BCA to restart first, which is "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

  -J' stopped the iMac and power on it pressing the option key where I found the bootable usb key (which showed boot EFI)

  -A from there, I walked into the perfect installation of windows. ;-)

  -However, that's where I really got stuck. I couldn't select my partition. Error on show details: 'Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed to GPT disks.

  -After formatting, I had the same error as above (error of GPT disks).

  -J' found this error a lot, especially on this forum. So I tried to fix it with gdisk (http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2362). Unfortunately no luck, I got the error to the step where you type 'w '. Error: Could not open device ' / dev/disk0 ' for writing! Errno is 1! Abandonment of writing!

  -J' discovered that it has something to do with SIP and that I should turn off safe mode, but when I restart my iMac I can't get into recovery by using CMD + r. Mode I tried to use it immediately after her, short, long, etc, but all I get is a white screen.

  Some things aside that I tried:

  -Creation of a windows partition manually with disk utility (remove the fact first by BCA)

  -Tried the two structures MS - DOT (FAT), and ExFAT

  -J' tried editting the info.plist still more by entering a string below DARequiredROMversion (IM112.0057.B03) and USBBootSupportedModels (iMac11, 3)

  Where I am at this time:

  -Ready with Windows 8 ISO bootable USB

  -Removal of all partitions in windows

  -Reset my hd and SDS info.plist file (I guess there are 2)

  --A STROLLER full reset (with cmd + option + p r to reboot) 3 times

  -Said a MSC (I think it's called) reset where I disconnected my cable for 15 seconds

  Trully I thinks I tried most of the things that I could find online, which led me to this post.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. If any additional info is requirement please let me know.

  Thank you!

  Best regards.

  Your iMac 2010 will not be installed Windows using without the optical drive boot camp.

  You should try this option, but it requires you to buy Winclone.

  You can also temporarily re - install the optical drive and make sure you install Windows on the main Bay drive (not in the optical drive Bay) and then put your second drive (the one without Windows on it) in the Optibay slot.

• HP DV8t: Problems of migration origin to new SSD HD Win7 OS.

  Hi all!

  I have a laptop HP DV8t. The laptop computer was purchased with Windows 7 64-bit and 2 x 500 GB hard drives. I would like to replace the hard drive with a 80 GB Intel SSD.

  Immediate problem, it's that I can just install Windows 7 on SSD because the recovery disks will not accept a smaller than 500 GB HARD drive.

  What I've done so far:

  Fact reset factory + formatted hard drives.

  Replaced with SSD 80 GB secondary hard drive, then the Acronis Migrate tool used to clone the content of the main drive to SSD.

  Put SSD drive as primary drive, replace (empty) 500 GB secondary drive.

  Problem: when connecting, I get a blue screen that says "this version of windows is not original" and can't do anything.

  I try again. Repeat the process until the SSD as drive, but now as secondary drive, put the drive of 500 GB (with BONES) where I cloned the operating system.

  No blue screen during the connection. Things seem to be ok, I see the windows logo on the SSD drive in my computer so assume that windows runs on the SSD. Problem: Now the windows installer will not work. Most of the programs are not installed, which gives an error to windows installer. I can't update the installer online because it is now suspended indefinitely. Also I can't update things such as .net framework (more error installation). This essentailly means that the laptop does not work because I can't run anything on this subject.

  All the tips are greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  It works and notice I said 'will' and not 'must '. It should work though, as I've done it before.

  Download the ISO of Windows 7 Home Premium files and create the W7 installation disc (burn) a detail of W7.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  Version what ever you use it must match what the computer came with, so your W7 product key will work on the underside of the laptop.

  If you need help with burning ISO files or make the drive, post again _ don't forget to verify the disc after burning or it won't work.

  Follow this tutorial to install W7.

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/OperatingSystems/SS/Windows-7-clean-install-part-1.htm

  The tutorial has you erase the drive to install W7 on, it is important to remove the entire disk, not just format it. After you remove the drive to let the W7 disk format automatically, don't do it yourself.

  In your case, you have made such a mess trying to install W7, you must use the W7 installation disc to remove all information damaged on the drive. If there are any partitions on the disk, delete those too. You'll end up creating "Unallocated" space on the entire disk, and that's what you want.

  Continue Setup and install it as a trial, when it's done, right click on "Computer" and select "Properties".

  At the bottom of this page to find 'change product key '. A click on it and follow the directions to enter the product key for the laptop.

  The instructions above are very important so follow them exactly or it won't work. It will take about 20 minutes to install W7 and 2 hours to download the ISO from Digital River files.

  First, install your chipset driver.

  Start the automatic driver finder to install the most recent.

  http://www.Intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?IID=dc_iduu

  He'll also find one for your Intel WiFi card as appropriate.

  Then install your video driver, here a direct from NVIDIA.

  http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-Win7-WinVista-64bit-296.10-WHQL-driver.html

  Install the rest of your drivers here.

  http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/HP-drivers-software-Forum/404164-drivers-HP-DV6-2xxx-dv7-3XXX-DV8-HDX16-HDX18-Intel.html

  Also, install technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver from the link above.

  Install the drivers in the order that I posted to them. If you need help with the rest of the drivers or get the hot key bezel to work (bass and treble _ volume _ eject) and then validate again.

  Do not use the command utility of tone on your support page, it is corrupted and it will not solve HP.

  In all cases, save the installation on the desktop files and install them from there, not in a temporary folder.

  You don't have secondary hard disk, none of this has nothing to do with it, it is only used as a storage drive. When you follow the tutorial it will show up there (you'll see what I mean, when you get there), just ignore it and only deal with your new SSD.

  I have a dv8 so I know exactly what to do.
