• iMac with new ssd showing nothing but the pointer and white screen

  Hello

  I'm trying to fix an old imac (2008), 20 ", the mac crashed hard drive so I installed an SSD and tried to use the start switch to start on my yosemite bootable installation usb. When I try this, start pressing the option key, rather than see the start selector I see only a white screen with the black pointer. I tried to start another mac to this usb port, and it worked well. No one knows why this happens?

  Thanks in advance,

  You are using a wired keyboard connected directly to the back of the iMac? If this isn't the case, you could try that.

• Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

  Hello

  I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.
  
  I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

  Thanks for any help.

  The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

  Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

  Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

  It makes you, thank you.

• 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).

• Re: Tecra R950-18F: win 8 Pro starts a new SSD drive

  Hello

  Having a few issues with the victory 8 DVD pro included with my laptop.

  After completion and reboot, it does not start and shows just the toshiba logo.

  Factory hdd with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 is replaced by the bios.

  What could be the problem?

  > Drive HARD factory is replaced with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 recognized by the Bios.

  You have the same start-up problems 8 win using the original HDD equipped Tecra R950?

  From my point of view, it would be possible that this laptop does not start successfully because of the new SSD.

  I recommend you check the previous HARD disk.
  If the laptop could start correctly, the problem is related to the new SSD drive.

  In some cases, it would be possible that the SSD firmware must be updated.

  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:

  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:

• 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.

• G62 - 219CA: possibility to backup/clone recovery Partition just before installing the new SSD?

  I'm considering buying an SSD of 256 for my older G62 - 219 CA.

  I can sort of back up or clone JUST the recovery partition, so when I install the new SSD I can put back them there and have this convenience for later use?

  I can't close my b/c the entire hard drive SSD will be too small in relation to the original drive.

  Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  ToddNS

  It is not really possible to save or to clone the recovery partition. Your best option is to create the support of HP recovery using the Recovery Manager or to order HP media to DVD - Windows 7 64B doublespeak (Office 2010) + Supp 1 Recovery Kit.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• MacBook pro 2009 with new SSD try to clean install Yosemite or TM disaster restoration.

  Hello.

  I think this is going to be a difficult discussion.

  Unibody MacBook Pro 2009. Original Apple HDD with Yosemite 10.10.5.

  Two months ago, that my HARD disk is dead.

  I installed a new SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive and through the recovery of TM all went well.

  A couple of weeks, my 'new' SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HDD started to scratch a little (I mean literally zero while reading/writing), so I thought he would die soon again. This time, I decided to buy an SSD in order to have better performance and superior durability.

  So I bought a Toshiba 248 Gb SSD. I'm not a big fan of Toshiba, but where I live, it's the SSD only I found in the store.

  I removed the old HDD, I installed the new SSD and where my nightmare starts.

  First of all, I tried with a new Installation of USB from Yosemite. I followed all the passages and the installation completed in about 9 days. Yes you read that right: 9 days. The progress bar runs for 9 DAYS.

  At the beginning I obviously interrupted the first couple of facilities when the progress bar was like "12 minutes at the end" for three or four hours, but then I read in many articles and support threads that it is quite usual installation seeks stuck for hours or days, but if you open the log console computer is always something. So I gave him his time and the third or the fourth installation I waited my NINE DAYS to be finished.

  Then when the installation ended the restarted mac of himself and is stuck at the loading screen with his beautiful Apple and the progress bar frozen at about 50%.

  I froze for about 4 or 5 hours of average.

  I found a few articles that sometimes happens, and all you have to do is to force the computer to shut down and start again. So I tried to force the shutdown by holding down the power button and after the reboot it just keeps starting with and stuck at first infinite progress bar.

  So I reboot on CMD + R to get a clue, if I got in trouble on the SSD or what. I run disk utility and found that on my SSD were about 290,000 files and many files as the Yosemite was finally installed. I tried to check the permissions, but it says less than a minute and then got stuck at halfway to complete 15 minutes, so I stopped it.

  After that I think 4 or 5 attempts to start new fresh install on my Yosemite and clean, I reset the SSD erase decided to start all over again.

  I died a little inside while doing it. Same as the erasure was so f * king quick to finish! (about 50 seconds, sonofa 'byte').

  Then I tried to not reinstall Yosemite again (the nightmare of 9 DAYS still has me) but I have tried a new way: recovery of TM.

  Just to say my original TM backup was about 340 GB and my new SSD is 248 only while it was quite clear he wasn't.

  I connect my external TM drive to another computer and I worked the ' delete all backups of * file * ' to get a smaller backup TM.

  Now, I moved a lot of things outside the TM backup and the new dimension of the TM backup is about 90 GB (I want to say that the whole folder backups.backup is about 90 GB), in fact I moved the other stuff was also inside the external Western Digital drive and is now free space Go 910 (, hence the content of the WD is just the TM backup folder this weight about 90 GB), but I still have the 'this drive doesn't have enough space to restore your system.', it's totally A LIE.

  Never mind. I accepted the idea that sometimes even computers are ashamed of themselves and begin to tell lies. I can handle. There was a holy man in the history without any sin. So, ok, no problem. I'm not upset or anything. I can get over it (mf you little liar!).

  Think of manually restore the files that I needed once I have a BONE in my new SSD, I used the same external disk to create a new backup from another computer, my Mac Mini TM. Everything went well and I got a new Mac Mini TM backup about 60 GB (it's much less than 248 GB of my new SSD).

  I reboot the Macbook again to try to restore the backup, Time Machine of Mac Mini and everything seems to work, except for:

  -progress initially said about 650 hours needed to complete the restoration ago.

  -I went to sleep and let the machine itself working together on the restoration and when I woke up this morning I found that the rest of the time was "fair" 52 hours.

  -J' was a little happy to see this, until the Rainbow rolling ball appears. Everything got stuck again. I force shutdown and then try to restore it.

  Now it works again and the remaining time is close hours 672 (and growing). I'll give it another chance. We'll see.

  Now, I have four questions to ask you:

  1. you have an idea (with the exception of a curse or a matter of black magic) WHY all this happened? And of course if there is something wrong and I can work to fix it otherwise?

  2 are there special settings to enable/disable/configuration/whatever to create works faster still to understand that it doesn't properly before discovering this NINE DAYS or 672 HOURS right now?

  3. when we agreed that something like that was acceptable? I used to be a project leader in the world of ICT and in 20 years I NEVER, I say NEVER, released a product/app/site Internet/solution that considers that an option taken 9 DAYS to install or something like that. NEVER. Do not forget that we are talking about Apple and an operating system. I think Windows is laughingly taking revenge.

  4. do you think that for me it is time to let Apple and go back WIN + PC? It's quite frustrating and I use the computer to WORK, not to play games video and this is not the kind of operativity expect after paying a little more for material, a little more for software, a little more to be part of what it is supposed to be the one that had the best choice (index not be not it kills me).

  I thank in advance for any help/tip, you can provide.

  Alberto

  This is a fairly long post. What I would say is:

  1. the next time get a hard drive from a company with a good reputation like Samsung (best SSD ever, I have several internal parts and a laptop EVO). I get them shipped.

  2. as you use the Mini, the recovery partition allows you to install a new copy of Mac OS X, and then use the Migration Wizard to move your stuff.

• 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.

• HP Pavilion e8A85UA: HP Pavilion does not look at a new SSD as bootable

  Hello Forum,

  I have a laptop HP Pavilion model e8A85UA. It has a processor i7 with 8 GB of ram and 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM.

  I tried to install a new Samsung 850 EVO SSD 500 GB instead of the old hard drive. I'm having serious problems, install any operating system on the new SSD and I think the new UEFI settings are to blame.

  Here's how far I got. I can boot from a windows cd and start a new installation for the ssd that is recognized in the windows installation. However, when the pc restarts to complete the installation process of the SSD is not recognized as a boot device and I get an error 3f0. I tried everything in the bio to make it work. It does not recognize the new drive in the bios and only gives me the option "boot of the operating system manager".

  I tried booting and installation in legacy mode, with the same results. Somehow this pc just does not recognize this device as bootable.

  I tried cloning the old hard drive and all the partitions and boot with the same result. I tried cloning just the partition operating system with the same result. I tried to repair the pc from the windows disk after I tried both a new installation and installation of clone, same thing.

  I put back the original hdd and everything starts as it should.

  The SSD is also recognized when you set up windows, but it fails on rebooot. It is also recognized by USB when connected through an external sata.

  It is on even with a new formatted SSD that the bios on the HP will let me install windows on it, or recognize the new ssd as bootable.

  Any ideas?

  See you soon,.

  So after that 2 weeks to play with it, I finally understood what it was. I returned the original ssd, I bought and received a 2nd same thing Samsung 850 EVO. Formatted the drive, tried to install a version of windows, same question, wouldn't boot.

  I took the pc at MicroCenter, where I bought it and they have free technical support. I showed them what was going on and that they had no ideas, but they said they would try to install windows for a fee, but if she doesn't they don't charge me, so I had nothing to lose at this point.

  Tech called me two days later and said the disc was bad, he ran into the same issue. He took another SSD they had there and installed windows on it very well, he said.

  So I returned the Samsung 850 EVO SSD with other supplier and bought a MX100 Crucial ssd 512 GB at home.

  Installed the SSD and booted from my Windows Installer USB, installed just fine windows and worked like a champ. The only thing I can think is that Samsung has certain type of firmware on their SSD, at least that model, which is not compatible with my PC BIOS.

  Anyway, if someone is facing the question that I just got, maybe try another brand SSD or a different model.

  Hope this helps save someone pulling the hair of 2 weeks.

  See you soon,.

• New SSD UEFI boot [U430 touch]

  Hi all

  My Lenovo U430 touch came with a Samsung 128 GB SSD.

  As it became a bit on the small side, I decided to replace it with a Samsung EVO 250 GB SSD.

  My first thought was to clone the old SSD and then resize partitions later. I quickly ran into trouble, the cloning has not worked. So I decided to start from scratch. So, I installed the new SSD and installed a Windows Pro 8.1 installation naked.

  Although everythings works one thing is still bugging me.

  For the new Samsung SSD to be bootable, I must:

  -Disable secure boot

  -Allow the start of the legacy

  Why is this?

  I thought about all the necessary codes were a BIOS / OS thing?

  * This was done a few months ago, it came just once again that I upgraded my BIOS and the laptop don't boot *.

  Thanks in advance for any suggestion or help

  well done secure boot part of the key of Windows 8/8.1 that is embedded in the bios and check the boot image, so if you install windows 8/8.1 pro or normal CD it will give the error box saying non-secure OS detected which means that it rejected your copy unaudited operating system which is not verified in secure boot so that the why it must be turned off.

  Reason 2: for UEFI only works if you have a bootable UEFI your ona windows USB key copy, so it can use UEFI and GPT instead of MBR since MBR mode only works in legacy mode and no UEFI, for uefi to work you gota difficulty one copy USB windows 8/8.1 with rufus and select UEFI & TPG box and then hit create so it will iso copy USB as a device of UEFI boot so it can use the UEFI

• Need help with a new SSD OCZ Agility 3

  I need assistance with my OCZ Vertex 3 60 GB SSD.

  I bought it yesterday because my current HARD drive is too slow.

  The problem is that I can't have my genuine version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit on it and I tried the system recovery DVD, I got from HP.

  Is my laptop: HP G62-b60SD

  Unfortunately my warranty has expired, so I hope someone could help me with this.

  In order to get my work of SSD, I just had to put an illegal version of 64-bit Windows 7 on it.

  But now I can't some functions to work, for example: disabling touchpad, brightness reduction etc.

  I have HP Support Assistant and assistant wireless network from several Web sites.

  How can I get my legal W7 Home Premium with the key functions of work in this regard?

  BTW, I use the SSD as my boot and the main driver and my old HDD is now elsewhere.

  Thank you very much for read/answer/help me already.

  Hello

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the activation code on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  Create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image from the link below (this has to be the same version as your original OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it's the commercial version accurate , you would need).

  Use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to complete the installation of Windows 7 on your new SSD, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA in the request and one time Setup is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just that a new installation of Windows 7 without software load additional normally comes with facilities OEM.

• 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
