• HP m9040n want to upgrade to win 7 and ssd. no problem to get bios maybe

  looking to upgrade. something I need to worry

  Hello

  Before you do anything, remember that you have a set of HP recovery disks in case you would have to withdraw.  Back up your data on an external support. An external USB hard drive would be my choice.

  Dobios updatewhile you're still under VISTA.

  Run these two utilities. .    Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.   Test for 64-bit hardware  Look at the results of the analysis of 64-bit with Upgrade Advisor.

  Update your memory on VISTA.  Then, run this utility to make sure that the memory is good.  Download memtest86 iso file and burn it to disk using the Imgburn.

  If you upgrade the memory beyond 4 GB, then you need Windows 7 64 bit to take advantage of the extra memory. None of the HP added value will be offered under Windows 7 64-bit you will need to do a clean install.

  Now, do a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit. Apply all updates including service pack 1.  You may need to restart and run the update of Windows process several times to get everything updated.

  Now, install all the programs you need and updates for them.

  Look over the size of the C partition to perhaps determine the size of the SSD to buy it. I would consider an SSD that is greater than the space used on the C 20 GB partition, but it's your decision to make on the amount of free space to store for updates and future expansion.  Depending on your needs, a 60-80 GB SSD may be enough.

  Looking for an SSD that meets your needs of space and comes with a migration kit (software plus one sata cable USB). If you have an empty hard drive Bay so your will need a 2.5 "to 3.5" disk media adapters and sata data cable. If you do not have a Bay hard drive empty then use an empty optical Bay. In this case, you will need a 2.5 "to 5.25" Bay adapter brackets and a sata data cable.

  Open your PC and inspect cables power the hard drive Bay. Do you see a spare power connector?  If you do not have a hard drive Bay empty then use and empty optical drive Bay.  Looking for a replacement power adapter. If a sata power connector is not available but a molex adapter 4 pin is then you will need to purchase a power adapter to manage the molex connector to a sata power connector.

  Before mounting the SSD inside your PC, use the migration kit and the process to the image of your hard drive Windows 7 overall of the SSD. You need only to images in the mbr record, SYSTEM and C partitions.  If this process is successful then mount the SSD inside your PC and connect the power and sata data cables.  Start now and make sure that Windows recognizes the new sata SSD. If it's good then boot into the bios and change the boot order to reflect the SSD as the first device to boot from the hard drive and save the settings.

  If your PC starts now with the SSD then smile. You must disable defragmentation for the C partition because it is not necessary.  Your original hard drive is still intact, so you can use it to store the data a possibly an emergency boot disk if something goes wrong with the SSD or Windows 7 on SSD.

• Windows 8 and SSD drive

  Hello! A year ago I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 with 8 Windows preinstalled. My question is this:

  you want to upgrade my hardware to replace my current hard drive with a Solid State Disk. The problem is that in windows 8 there is not any program except the OneKey Recovery, obviously it is not asking the official recovery of Microsoft (including Windows 7). If I create a disk with OneKey then is it possible to use it to install windows on the new SSD 8? The pc will recognize a backup disk created by an application that is not installed on it?

  You can do this way:

  Replace the hard drive with sshd, then starts with the drive flash usb partition creator site Evozi. Once you have created partitions replace the sshd with the existing hard drive and start the machine. Use a hard drive with the sshd adapter so that you can copy the files from backup recovery D:Lenovo\Lenovo\OneKey App\OneKey okr. Lenovo file is hidden so you may need to turn on hidden files in the folder of the control panel option. Again, replace the hard drive with the sshd. Press the button of novo for a restore okr.

  Note: Each time you turn on the hard drive and sshd, the computer must be stopped. A bracelet of gounding should be used.

• Can I mix SAS and SSD drives? PE2900

  Please forgive my ignorance; I've looked through the documentation but can't find the info I'm after.

  I have a PE2900; When we look at the config online I see comes with:

  GT281 1 Assembly, map, PERC5I, Serial Attached SCSI, 2900
   
  and SAS 15 k of the 4x146Gb discs.
   
  I want to mirror 2 drives SSD for the OS. I have the 1 x 8 SAS backplane with two cables between the 5 / I at the bottom of basket... I guess I have to buy a spare sata cable sas to replace the 2nd cable and to find carriers that contains the ssd?
   
  Is it possible on this machine?  All the world does? If so, how can I find the correct carrier? I can not chat w/dell as this system is way out of warranty and the store "parts & updates" is a joke.
   
  Thank you!

  Hello wilddoktor

  The PERC 5 / I do not officially SSD support, but it will probably work. PERC 6 is the first controller to SATA SSD support and the H700 supports SATA and SAS SSD.

  I would recommend that you try SATA SSD. In addition, none of our controllers support mix of technologies of discs in the same container/table, then you will probably not be able to put the SSD in the same table as non - SSD.

  Create a RAID 1 with SSD 2xSATA would probably work, and you should be able to keep your another Bay of SAS drives on the same controller. I only am not able to give a definite answer since SSD was not taken in charge with this controller, but maybe there is someone who has tested that sounds in.

  Thank you

• Portege R500 - low volume with Win 7 and Realtek driver

  Hello

  I have now installed Windows 7 on my R500 to prepare for the end of Windows XP to life.
  I've experienced this now with Windows 7 sound does not really work.

  Build-in speaker does not work and a speaker connected to the outside with amplifier can get just a little sound in the maximum amplification I googled and saw many people having similar problems.

  Does anyone know if Toshiba has a solution for this?

  Other people with laptop computers Portege have the same problem?

  Thank you
  Markus

  AFAIK the Portege R500 supports Realtek ALC262
  I googled and found some people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops from other manufacturers using the piece ALC262

  But I found the solutions :)

• How to re - combine a HD and SSD in a player of "Fusion".

  Hi all

  Well, this process has floored me know how much time lost, he created and how the problem occurred in the first place.

  I am wanting to do a clean install of El Capitan on iMac late 2014 retina with El Capitan with a 1 TB drive merger 10.11.6.

  Boot from an external hard drive with OS X utility disk 10.11.4, wouldn't let me simple deletion of the reader. He came up with the error message "removing logical volume of the logical volume group cannot delete the storage base logical volume...". »

  So I started to investigate this problem and found:

  estorage-logical-volume-from-the-Terminal http://Apple.StackExchange.com/questions/136590/How-can-i-Delete-a-partition-Cor

  Who publishes various other forum known as the best solution to the problem. Knowing that I hate to use the terminal, I dove in full anyway. I was reformatting disks on Mac for 20 years without needing terminals?

  I got so far as to remove the existing with logical group:

  sudo diskutil cs deleteLVG

  and now the HD and SSD drives appear on the desktop as a empty volumes (which is fine, I don't need to save anything).

  But now, try to use the:

  sudo diskutil mergePartitions HFS+ "Apple_HFS Macintosh HD" (and different combinations of drive locations)

  results only in "the data partitions are not of the same disc.

  This is what I see with the "diskutil list; ECHO; Cs diskutil list "command in terminal.

  I have no idea how recombine the separate HD and SSD drives in one drive of Fusion, with which I can then do a clean installation of El Capitan. Can someone please!

  Also, how can quickly and safely erase a disc from Fusion in the future? I need to deploy a new image of master with all our software top one another 10 times, and I want to completely erase the readers for clean installs (with Migration Assistant for about 8 years, moving from a system has resulted in a lot of weird and wacky behaviour on our Macs) and it is time for a clean install for each of them.

  Again, I'd be very happy any help on this.

  -Alex

  Please read this message before doing anything. If you don't feel confident that you can follow the instructions, ask someone more experienced to help you.

  This procedure applies only to an iMac or a Mac mini with a drive installed in the smelter.

  You must read these instructions while no web browser is running, so either print them or load them onto another device before you start.

  1. all the data on the internal disks will be deleted, including Boot Camp data, which are not saved by Time Machine. You need at least two complete and independent backups. A backup is not enough to be sure. There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

  2. you will need to start one recovery system other than the one on the internal hard drive (if he has one.) There are several ways to do so.

  a. If you have a backup time of the Machine (not a network backup), or a compatible Mac OS X installation on an external drive, then you should be able to start it by holding down press option key to start ringing. Select the external hard drive in the row of icons that is displayed. I mean by "compatible", an installation running on the machine. A version of Mac OS X that is older than the machine is not compatible.

  b. If you used Recovery Disk Wizard (or can use it now) to prepare a system recovery on a USB flash drive, you can start that by pressing the C button on the ring. No icons will appear. Startup will be much slower than usual.

  c. start the Internet recovery mode by pressing the key combination command-option-R to start ringing. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe. Select a language, if you are prompted.

  Note: You need an Ethernet or Wi - Fi connection to Internet to use the features of recovery network. It will not work with modems USB or PPPoE, proxy servers or networks that require a certificate for authentication.

  3. disconnect all other external storage devices.

  What happens then depends on what version of recovery that you are running.

  ☞ If the machine came with OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), 10.9 ("Swat") or 10.8 ("Mountain Lion"), and you're in the recovery of the Internet, please take step 4a and skip step 4 b.

  ☞ otherwise, go to step 4 and go to step 4B.

  If you are unsure which version of Mac OS X, the machine came with, search for it on this page.

  After taking these steps apply, you must have a reader of empty Fusion named 'Macintosh HD' on which you can perform a 7 step or step 7B.

  4. repair of the Fusion drive (see "Troubleshooting" on the linked page.) Quit disk utility and go to step 7A or 7B step. Skip steps 4, 5 and 6.

  4. in the OS X screen utility, select get online help. Safari will launch. While in recovery, you will have no access to your Favorites, but you won't need them. Load this web page.

  5. triple - click anywhere in the line below to select this option:

  N=Macintosh\ HD; for d in /dev/disk?; do o=`diskutil info $d`; for D in SSD HDD; do eval [[ ! \"\$$D\" ]] && grep -lqw "APPLE $D" <<< "$o" && eval $D=$d; done; [[ "$SSD" && "$HDD" ]] && break; done; diskutil cs create "$N" $SSD $HDD && diskutil cs createLV "$N" jhfs+ "$N" 100%

  It is a very long line, and you won't see it on the web page. Be sure to select the entire line, not just the part that you can see.

  Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

  Quit Safari. You go back to the OS X Utilities screen.

  6. in the menu bar, select

  Utilities ▹ Terminal

  Launch the Terminal application. Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. Wait for a new line ending with a number sign (#) to appear. If nothing happens, press the return key.

  Quit the Terminal must be returned to the main screen.

  7. If you have a Time Machine backup, connect the device to backup and restore your data. If you have saved to a network like a time Capsule device, it must be connected automatically.

  7B. If you do not have a Time Machine backup, or if you can not restore from Time Machine backup that you do not have, install OS x Restore data later in The Migration Wizard.

  In the Internet recovery mode, you install the original version of Mac OS X comes with the machine. If you have upgraded the operating system on the App Store, you will need to do it again.

• Portege R830 - 111 BIOS can not find the SSD drive

  Hello
  Four days ago, I bought R830-111 [PT320E-00X00XPL] and a - DATA S599 2.5 "SATA II Solid State Drive 128 GB to replace the standard HARD disk drive. Unfortunately, the new SSD drive does not work with this laptop.

  Several times, after several reboots disc was visible in the BIOS.
  But there is not the possibility of a normal use of the SSD.
  I have day laptop BIOS [BIOS360_EC140_WIN] and SSD drive. That did not help.

  Can someone help and tell me how to work this SSD ADATA and Portege?

  Best regards

  Have you checked if the SSD drive needs a firmware update?
  In some cases, this is necessary, but in the worst cases, the SSD drive might not be compatible and this means that you need to test another :(

• laptop Pavilion dv6 1030 ca: hard to change disk SSD drive

  Hi, I would like to know that if I can change the current HDD with a SSD of Kingston 480 GB seria ata (sata) drive, my personal opinion is that I can, but I would like a confirmation of my hypothesis. Canord

  Yes, you should be able to install and SSD drive in place of the built-in SATA HDD.

  You should be able to find compatible HARD drives in the Service guide and maintnence for your laptop on the hp.com site.

• 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.

  BIOS is set as UEFI + secure boot, win 8 pro dvd starts and I can start recovery, after a while, he asks disc 2 and starts to recover win 8.

  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.

• Satellite A100 - compatibility SSD drive and recommendations?

  Hello.
  I want to replace the original HARD drive in my Satellite A100-811 with an SSD.
  What are the parameters for search? I can just about any 2.5 "SATA II SSD on the market?
  Intel X 25 - M Mainstream SATA SSD 160 GB G2 is compatible?
  Are there recommendations for Toshiba?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  A100 controller SATA HDD support.
  Generally, it should be possible to use the laptop as part of a SATA SSD drive.
  But I also read that not all laptops can properly manage the SSD drive.
  In some cases the SSD update the firmware of the player might help.
  So I can't say with certainty that the new SSD will work properly and that the BIOS would properly recognize the SSD.
  I think you'll need to test the SSD drive
  You could order it on Amazon and could test, in the worst case you could send again
  I did it too with some RAM modules that didn t work in my notebook.

  Please post some details if these updates succeeded or not, it would be interesting to know if you can use it in your A100 because I would use a SSD drive too

• Why HP only allow more big hard drives and SSD when restoring Images of original & software OS system?

  8.1 Windows recently damaged my PC h8-1559 (still under warranty). All was not if badly grown f11 empty blue screen and boot BSOD loop was the only thing besides the BIOS that I could see. I must have spent days trying to get Win 8 on my SSD after you purchase this month of PC. Now I have to restore PC to original specifications and again migrate the OS back to SSD. Not really a problem I expect no support, given how much anti-'customize' computers became under software and hardware developers who blame or place the responsibility on each other for the most part.

  I just want to know:

  That HP decided smaller HDD and SSD should never be allowed to use the pre-built PCs and why? More importantly, why has it remained for many years after many complaints over the years? Thank you.

  Hey Hastatus

  I can understand your frustration, but the smaller reader that works is 160 GB. The way the image is put on the disk and extended requires a lot of partitions and each of them is created to a certain height, these sizes were decided before the SSD, and when disk space was not that great, a case, but it was arbitrary. As SSD became more popular and used in some of our systems we made some special changes in plants in order to allow a 60 GB drive to use. But the changes were not made to any other builds, there was not only considered.

  As SSD became more popular, they are also grew in size, so the decision was made to leave the requirement of 160 GB. It's not a way to go back and change to the older, but we will spend this feedback to our engineering teams.

  Bottom line - usable - more small disk 160 GB regardless of the type (HDD or SSD).

  Sorry not information just solution.

• Installation internal SSD drive and storage of documents on external hard drive

  Hello!

  I have an older iMac and I want to speed it up by installing a SSD drive.  Currently, my internal hard drive has 2 TB of storage, and I don't want to pay for one SSD of this size.  I consider the use of an external drive for my files and using the SSD internal applications and the operating system.  Can this work?  What is the internal SSD of minimum size I should get, more or less, according to my number of apps?   The documents will open at a decent speed?   It is up to me to use an external hard drive with a Firewire instead of USB connection?  Thank you!

  Hi Dan:

  Apps it really depends how much you use and what types of data you want to keep in vs SSD HARD drive.

  120-128 GB SSD: USD price: 60-70 price range.

  for 250/256 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 80-90

  for 500/512 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 130-150

  An external 2 TB drive: for laptop (USB bus-powered - usually 2.5 "HDD included): 90 us $, for the largest 3.5" Office style HDD: 90 USD

  For me:

  I store all my music on the external network drive (RAID 1 configuration, 2 TB, and 50 percent full this time), all my documents/pictures are still in my 500 GB SSD.

  I don't have much video projects on my SSD.

  

  I used about 200 GB in my internal SSD flash drive

  Good luck finding your best solution.
