• Setup cannot create or find the partition on the SSD system

  I'm trying to install windows 7 on my PC which has a 120 GB OCZ SSD. It ran windows XP very well. I get to the screen where you choose the partition to install to. When I click Next, I get the following error: "Setup could not create a new partition or system to locate a system partition. See logs of installation for more information".

  Currently, the drive is a large partition and the type is the system. I can format or delete, and then click new partition, but that by default uses the primary type, which does not work either. Extend is gray and I have not found any drivers for the OCZ SSD.

  Don't think it will be serious, but here are the specs of the system. Core 2 Quad 2.66 Ghz, Nvidia 9800 GTX, OCZ 4 GB of ram, 120 GB SSD, 500 GB HARD drive (do not want to install here because of files I need and no reason to install here when I have an SSD), DFI Lanparty X 48 LT - R (not 100% on the - r)

• Qosmio G30-102 not start after the SSD upgrade

  I have 2 x 840 Pro 256 GB SSD to install in my machine which usually runs two drives independently.

  I used the software to Clone of Samsun to clone my C drive which has XP on it.

  The cloning was successful.

  On the installation of the new SSD, it will be now does not start and keeps cycling to the F12 boot screen.

  I tried all the options without result.
  Any ideas?

  Hello

  I had a similar experience with an upgrade of the SSD.
  I used exactly the same software and has been able to clone partitions of HARD drive to SSD drive and my cell phone did not start the system from the SSD system partition.

  I figured out that the C: partition on the SSD was not marked as active.
  How I solved this?

  Well, I put the SSD in the 2.5 external USB enclosure. Then I booted the laptop using the old HDD. I connected the external SSD drive to the USB port.
  Then I went to Windows disk management and could activate the C partition on the SSD drive.
  Then I replaced the HARD drive with SSD and could boot. :)

• Upgrade with the SSD, the recovery on the old HARD drive partition

  Hi, I would like to upgrade my W530 with SSD. What should I do to have work Pre-boot recovery with recovery partition the disk of HARD now at this time while the system would be the new SSD? Is this possible? BTW, I am considering between mSATA and SSD 2.5 "for windows. Which should I choose? I have to admit mSATA is more convenient for me.

  Thanks in advance!

  > recovery partition? I don't want to move on SSD

  You can skip it when you perform the cloning.

  > What about pre-seed recovery? It will work even if I copy the recovery on the SSD partition?

  The presence of a recovery partition valid on the active drive (which is the new SSD, in your case) is required for recovery on-site work. So, if this feature is important to you, you should go back to the first question above.

  If you have not made your purchase, you should take a close look at the M4 Crucial mSATA SSD 128 GB. Just a suggestion.

• How to configure the partition table for SSD?

  Drive: 32 GB SSD

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  The SSD could be seen in the disk management window, and you could name and set up as another hard drive internal. To create a partition or volume on a hard disk, you must be logged in as an administrator, and there must be unallocated disk space or free space in an extended hard disk partition. To repartition your hard drive, please consult the following link and check if it helps.

  I can I repartition my hard disk?

• The disk partitioning and choosing the SSD to install Windows

  Hi all

  I'm new to the forum and I hope to get some help with my problem.
  Today, I received my new IdeaPad U510 and I love it. But I realize that the operating system is installed on the SATA hard drive instead of being installed on the SSD (for best performance).
  I would like someone to help me by telling me: How can I install Windows (with the license that was supposed to come with the purchase of the laptop) on the SSD?
  Given that I tried 'set' the OneKey restore but as far as I see, is not allowed.

  Thank you very much for your support.

  First of all, it is better to be * beep * sure you know what you're doing.
  Second, make a bootable Windows USB installation paste and test if it works, just to be sure. Back up your data. Go to the BIOS, disable the TSRI, then set it to SATA AHCI (from RAID or AUTO) mode. Save and reboot. Now you start the installer, repartition your SSD drive (I would recommend going for the TPG plan, it is the only way to boot with UEFI, which has some advantages, that is to say more fast start) and install Windows.
  After that, disable hibernation, windows etc backups so that the free space of your SSD gets to zero after a week of use.
  Keep in mind that this will break your OKR feature, which is not useful anyway if you're a power user.

• Organizing files on the SSD and HDD

  Hello

  According to me, there are answers to this, but I found them a bit too technical and advanced for my level of knowledge.

  I have a 250 GB SSD and a 1 TB HARD drive and am looking for the best way to structure my work FCPX (the SSD is too small to store everything). The application is installed on the SSD, which I suppose is the best for performance. I recently discovered the properties of the library menu and set it to store media and backups on my HARD drive, but the Cache on my SSD. I don't really know if it's the best - any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  The SSD is the system drive? In general, I put everything on the media player, external, fast drive. Minimum USB3.

• Avast! Writes to the SSD much antivirus software during scan

  Hi guys,.

  I have installed avast! Antivirus on my Mac, do not protect my Mac specifically, but to keep it to pass on the Windows malware to other computers or on my Windows partition. When the full analysis of the system, I notice that he reads a lot of data in the player (that I know), but it saves up to 40 GB of data in the SSD at the end of the analysis! I know writing excessively on the SSD can shorten their life (although I tried to calculate its expected service life using my daily writing, and I should have at least another 10 years of use, which is more than enough).

  My point being, why is avast! write on the disk so during a scan? Is it caused by a heuristic analysis or something? I don't want to put unnecessary pressure on my SSD, even though I know that Apple SSD are generally pretty durable.

  Thank you.

  Note: Please don't give me a conference on the installation of antivirus software on Mac - I know that this is not strictly necessary but I explain why I use it at the beginning of my post.

  Your windows contacts can take care of themselves. He has no need of you to your Mac protecting wear.

  Your Mac is already well protected without that avast garbage making it unstable.

• Captian El is not installed on the SSD disk fusion part after recovering from the internet

  I found that my Mac OS X El Captian is installed on the part of the hard disk of 1 TB disk fusion rather than the part of the SSD drive after the installation of recovery of the internet.

  And the SSD disk fusion part seems to be "not fitted"...

  May I ask if this is correct?

  I saw on the article depending on whether recovery facility will automatically take care of the promenade of the merger and put the files system on the part of the reader Flash memory:

  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2412726,00.asp

  2. Mount and

  3. repeat to Install OS X on this SSD part internet recovery rather than the part of the hard drive of my 1 TB drive

  Your opinion is greatly appreciated!

  ... also, I found that there are 2 Macintosh HD, showing at startup. If I choose a 1st, a banned logo will appear once a while and the will of the computer just froze there. Only when I choose the 2nd Macintosh HD, I can login in the OS correctly...

  Should not be only one Macintosh HD picture to the choice at the start?

  Emergency assistance is needed...!

• Portege R500 - how to replace the SSD?

  Hello

  1. I have trouble using the recovery CD. The computer to read the CD once and give me an error message that it cannot partition the SSD drive. Ask me to restart the PC. Then I insert the CD change once again, the sequence of boot on the CD, but now, the computer does not recognize the recovery CD. Now, the freezing of the PC after start.

  2. I have a legal windows vista CD I tried to install in the PC but I'm not a clean install because the computer does not read the CD

  3. I tried the CD in another computer. I insert the CD to reboot and the computer immediately went to the wizard of microsoft vista.

  4. I tested the CD rom and it works.

  5. I believe that the solid state SSD laptop drive has failed.

  I opened my laptop to check what I need to buy the brand SSD. However, is the first time that I change a SSD drive and I don't know where he is and how to replace. So, if someone can answer with the steps of how to do to replace the SSD I will appreciate it.

  Thank you
  Nils.

  Hello!

  In my opinion, it could also be a problem with the CD/DVD drive. I mean you have tried another drive and the computer laptop doesn t read this disc too.
  So for me it sounds like this drive is also defective.

  But as Akuma said you should also check the SATA Mode in the BIOS.

  I think the best way would be to contact you nearest ASP. They can check a defective hardware for laptop parts and Exchange. If your laptop is under warranty, repairs are free.

• HP 700-330qe: how to disable or replace the SSD on HP 700-330qe

  Help for my HP 5 months! It kills Me!

  I bought a HP 700-330qe in 2014 from Amazon and just started getting SMART of Windows hard disk errors whenever my computer restarts, telling me that the hard drive failure is imminent. He also tells me to shut down the computer immediately, save it, contact the manufacturer, etc. Never seen it in any PC I owned before. Naturally, I freaked out and did some internet research, discover that it is relatively easy to clone and replace a hard drive. I ordered a new hard drive Western Digital 3 TB of Amazon, a docking station for disc brand cable hard of Amazonia and downloaded the Macrium Reflect free disk management software.

  Items from Amazon arrived in a few days and I got to work making a clone of my one and only hard drive. Clone was made with little problem. Shut down the computer, it opens and replaced the old hard disk with a new one. Start the computer to the top and got the same message on imminent hard drive failure! So I paid more attention to it this time and looked up the model number in the warning message, which was: ScanDisk SDSA6DM - 016 G-1006. I Googled that and found it was the disk solid state drive (SSD) used as a cache to speed up certain operations. Arrgh.

  I stuck my old hard drive in the hard drive docking station and was ready to be cloned partition SSD and all partitions on the hard drive to the hard drive and the removal or at least unplug the SSD drive to get rid of this problem. The software told me that the SSD is shaped as MPR (or something like that) while the main hard drive is formatted as GPT, which are different types of hard drive, formatting, so you cannot copy these different types of partitions on a hard drive.

  So here's my options as I see them:

  (1) I have to either disable the SSD, but I don't know how and I don't know if the computer will always start the same. Windows is partially installed on SSD? I do not know.

  (2) to clone and replace the DSS about the same way I did with the main hard drive. I can get the SSD according to Amazon for $49: Kingston Digital 60 GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5 (height of 7mm) with adapter Solid State Drive SV300S37A / 60G.

  For the option #2 above, the only problem is that I have no idea where the OEM SSD of ScanDisk is currently installed in my computer! It is in the hard drive cage? I don't see anything else installed there. I thought it was in the cage directly above the hard drive cage, but I think that what I was looking at was the front memory card reader/USB ports. I don't have on CD Player installed and I can see where it is. Help!

  PS: I also downloaded EaseUS Partition Master 10.2 and it allows to analyze the SSD drive. While it was scanning it found 9 bad blocks (on tens of thousands of blocks), but when he finished the analysis it says there is a lot of blocks. For this to happen on an SSD, which is supposed to be more reliable than hard disks of small, to make this so much more aggravating situation. At least, I upgraded my hard drive 2 TB to 3 TB and know now that I can do. Sigh.

  Yes, I had a frusrtrating very experience with HP customer support, even after it was raised to a case manager based in the United States, who called me home. She found no part at all in its computer system and wanted to send me in my whole PC to a service center customer (it was still under warranty) which would take at least 3 weeks. I said no and went forward and the DSS out of my computer. I stopped receiveing the error messages and did not notice a slow down in performance, but went ahead and bought and installed this one, just in case it actually provides an advantage: My Digital 32 GB SSD Bullet Proof (on Amazon for $25).

  As a note to end funny to this drama, about 6 months after my discussion with HP support I describe above, I have randomly mailed an envelope of HP with the exact 16 GB SSD, they said that they didn't in their system. It also included an envelope to return my faulty SSD and a stern note saying if they do not receive the defective item within 3 days my credit card (that I never gave them) would be charged. I threw a long time ago the defective item and just throw it back into a drawer... or maybe that I returned it in the envelope for return of defective product? I don't remember really.

  In any case, it was a horrible customer service experience, and since then I have another HP Envy (my PC 3 year to my son) have a hard drive and video card fail at the same time. I replaced the two after a few problems, but no matter what I do, it can get its setup dual monitor want to work more. I tried several video cards and nothing.

  All of these factors combined caused me write off HP for the future PC purchases. The guys in my company IT say it's the reason why we only buy Dell computers at work (we have hundreds of maintain). They do not use strange pieces like these small SSD cache records, and their parts are standard and easy to replace because of the case. I'll either get a Dell or ASUS as my next PC.

• How to change the partitions on the Satellite P870-026

  Hello

  does anyone know how to partition the HARD drive on a P870 Satellite with Windows 8 (if the material of the BONE).
  I used the options in disk management. The problem is that I can't shrink less than about 450 GB lecteurC. It is a new laptop and features a 1 TB HDD and 50 GB used only at present.

  I defragmented the HARD drive, but it made no difference.
  Thank you

  I presume you are aware that a "hidden file" is the reason why you can't resize.

  This [http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html] is supposed to do the job. Software free EASEUS ([http://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/]) can do. (I think you need to very careful to install the software. I believe that unless you read each screen and check / uncheck boxes carefully it will have changed your homescreen internet, search engine and installed more software).

  BUT
  Any root you choose, make sure you have prepared Windows etc. recovery disks so that you can restore your pc to a shipped State. Do some searching on Google on things like "install the bigger hard drive" "change the size of the partition during the installation of windows" "create a cd bootable/memory stick ' and the popular"migrates to ssd drive"and you will pick up a lot of advice. I don't know if the Toshiba recovery disks repartition a drive to match the original configuration.

• Works of the SSD upgrade?

  Hi guys,.

  I plan to upgrade my old HDD to SSD but I'm having a lot of software currently installed on my machine of peace.

  Like, I don't know how all of the data transfer of the thing works. Anyone of you could let me know if I can transfer the software installed as well? I have any Adobe / MS Office pack installed here and I lost all the keys to these software.

  So, is it possible to transfer mechanism these installed software intact in new SSD or I need to buy the software again if I decided to go for the new SSD installation.

  Thanks in advance

  you don't say what year or type of Mac, for a user's machine the evolutionary bases are:

  Buy an external enclosure with your new SSD. Format and partition the new disk using disk utility.

  Carbon Copy Cloner to run and make a bootclone of your hard drive internal for the new SSD

  Install the SSD in your Mac. Put the old HD inside for a backup drive.

• HP dv7-6b50eb: HP recovery launches the cloned SSD, impossible to install win7 on the SSD.

  Hello

  I recently bought an SSD to accelerate my HP DV7. So I tried to clone my previous 1 TB to my 250 GB SSD hdd, but it seems that it's quite simple. :-(.

  I have created the exact same partitions (with the same size, orders, except for my main Windows partition type of course being given my SSD is much smaller) on the SSD as on my old Hdd. After that I made an exact copy of each 3 partitions (HP Recovery partition, system and tools Hp) but instead of copying the windows partition, I left a void on the SSD as the size of the Windows on the old hard drive partition is larger (the data) than the available size on the remaining on the SSD partition. I thought that I could boot on the SSD drive and start the restore process to install Win7 on the empty partition. But when I restart the pc, it does not seem to recognize the boot SSD partition, he prefers not to say "No operating system found".

  I also tried to activate the 3 partition directly (which is the recovery partition) to directly on boot as the partition, but it did not work either. The partition to activate before it was the 1st partition (which is the SYSTEM partition), but he has not worked either.

  Can someone help me do that cloning to work?

  FYI, I did the cloning and the creation of the partition using fdisk and dd on ubuntu.

  Thank you.

  Hi Wawood and Mista B,.

  Thanks for your comments I have a previous message, but strangely I have not found trace of the previous message, maybe I forgot to press the 'POST' button:-s.

  In any case, I was thinking that I understand your remarks Wawood but my goal isn't specifically for the windows on my new SSD partition (not interested in reducing the windows partition, it is just a statement), it was ok for me to any re - install from the recovery partition, a windows 7 from scratch.

  And I'd say Mista B by saying that it would have been stupid HP do not allow someone to use the recovery on the same pc partition, just because it has a different hard drive.

  Finally, I managed to do what I wanted to for those who are interested (HP is not so stupid after all:-p), here's the method I used to clone my hard drive of 1 TB to my 250 GB SSD and keep all the native HP (recovery, hp_tools, System) partitions with a 1 TB hard drive works correctly.

  So what I have is:

  -J' put the SSD as a second drive on my laptop (I guess it should work in the same way if connected by USB)

  -J' I started my pc and downloaded the EaseUs partition master

  -J' ran the program and began by doing a thorough cleaning of the SSD

  -J' made a copy of the system partition of my hard drive of 1 TB to my SSD

  -J' made a copy of the partition my hard drive of 1 TB HP_TOOLS to my SSD

  -J' made a copy of the recovery of my 1 TB hard drive partition to my SSD

  -J' created a new empty NTFS partition in the remaining partition

  I'm done with the same exact score as agenda in my 1 TB HDD.

  1. THE SYSTEM

  2 NTFS empty

  3 recovery

  4.HP_TOOLS

  After that my SSD was not bootable, because the MBR has not yet been copied.

  Then I started a live CD of Ubuntu and I installed boot-repair and he ran.

  I chose the advanced options and set set the mbr and boot from the partition 3.

  I then put the partition recovery (partition 3) as being ACTIVE.

  I removed the hard drive of 1 TB of the laptop (to avoid any error during execution of recovery which ends with the recovered 1To:-p) beeing and replaced it with the SSD.

  I then rebooted the laptop and it starts directly on the recovery partition. I finished in the recovery strategy (I could not choose the recovery from an earlier point in time given that the windows partition is empty (no windows backup)).

  I chose over the full restore, the slight recovery with only OS and drivers and it does the job of recovery. Now that the of what I write this resolved thread :-).

  Hope this helps some people out there with the same questions.
