Problem Lenovo Thinkpad T430 HDD/SSD

Hi all

I recently added an SSD for my thinkpad only to windows hosting on. I have a 300 GB HARD drive installed so I installed a 120 GB SSD into the slot of the wireless card. Everything went well, I installed windows 7 on the SSD and the laptop starts perfectly but I can no longer see the HARD drive in my computer, it only displays the SSD here now.

Can someone advise what I need to do to get both drives visible?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Your computer is to see your drive, it must just be initialized.

  • Lenovo Thinkpad T430

    Hi guys,.

    I'm new to the forum and have only recently bought my Lenovo Thinkpad T430. I'm looking to add an internal SSD flash drive and move the HARD drive in the ultrabay port sitting factory. I just want to confirm with you kind people that I bought will indeed get the job done.

    I ordered this SSD:

    http://www.eBay.co.UK/ITM/191256143695?_trksid=p2060778.m2763.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    and this ultrabay caddy:

    This will be sufficient for the work, I'm looking to meet? Currently, I have 8 GB of RAM and plan to upgrade this 16 GB in time. Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Ryan

    Welcome to the forum.

    Yes this SSD and Ultrabay adapter will work fine.

    A few comments.

    1. while 64 GB is enough for the BONE and some apps it is somewhat tight IMO. SSD prices are falling. Consider a 120 GB or 240 GB. This way you can run the T430 without the HARD drive in the Ultrabay slot if necessary. What to do when I travel so that it has no moving for parts damaged by accidental impact.

    2. Another option to consider is an mSATA SSD to go in making WWAN. This will keep the existing HDD where it is and let the Ultrabay available for the DVD or even another SSD/HDD.

  • How does the ThinkPad T430s battery charge level

    I recently bought a Lenovo ThinkPad T430s 2356-LRG and I was wondering how to work the charge technology. I have searched and looked in the manual, but I couldn't find a good answer.

    My question is that I use Notepad a lot on current alternative. And often for long periods of medium to heavy loading. I run Linux and have set up ChargeThreshold. He stops the load to 95% and again 45%.

    But when I keep the AC on, and if the battery has 80 percent, that it does not move upwards or downwards as expected. Because they have to go lower than 45%.

    The power then go directly to the machine and bypass the battery? Because the battery LED on the back is disabled. Or it will go through the battery and produce cycles of load on the battery?

    So let's say that the battery is bypassed, it will then be fine to keep on AC and active for a period of several days with heavy load, but the temperature of the battery. I know heat kills it.

    I could also buy a 95W power adapter and remove the battery from the machine, completely when I have it in my office for an extended period of time.

    It will charge the battery unless it takes. It's OK to have the battery on a computer permanently connected.

  • Thickness of Lenovo IdeaPad Z500 HDD; Replacement of SSD

    Hey guys,.

    I own a Z500 IdeaPad with a ST500LM012 HN-M500MBB 500 GB HDD by Samsung.

    I would like to do an upgrade with a 1 TB of HDD, I would put in the HARD Drive Caddy (replacement CD/DVD drive).

    And I also intend to get an EVO 840 Samsung SSD, I place in the main HARD disk location.

    BUT the HARD drive I have now is 9, 5mm thick. And the EVO 840 is 7 mm thick. I have problems in the main HARD disk location?

    And are there opportunities that I can fit a 12, 5mm disk in the location of main HARD drive or the HARD drive caddy?

    I'm terribly sorry for my English is not my mother tongue.

    Thanks in advance.

    medo994 wrote:... HARD drive, I have at the moment is 9, 5mm thick. And the EVO 840 is 7 mm thick. I have problems in the main HARD disk location?

    Answer: Page 71 of the Hardware maintenance manual provides 9.5 mm hdd/sdd can be used. If you have the Player 7.0 mm it can also be accommodated.

    medo994 wrote:... And are there opportunities that I can fit a 12, 5mm disk in the location of main HARD drive or the HARD drive caddy?

    Answer: For the housing of the primary hard drive, the cage hdd/ssd mounting is designed to 9.5 mm, so a 7.0 mm or 9.5 mm hdd/ssd will fit. However, a 12.5 mm will not match. The caddy, you see the caddy if it can accommodate a hard drive of 12.5 mm. You may need to check the side of the caddy against the STRANGE to see if it will fit in the odd-NUMBERED slot.

  • Problem installing Windows 7 on Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 665D817

    Hello

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 665D817 without an operating system and be able to install Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (msdnaa version). I actually had the Thinkpad even before and managed to install Windows 7 withouth any problems.

    After starting from the USB stick during installation without hard drive is located. To this end, I insert a second usb key with drivers for AMD AHCI Controller Device Driver for Windows 7 and select the directory of win7 64 bit. A driver to install is offered, but after installing it, it seems as if nothing happened. No disk is detected, and I can't continue the installation.

    thx for the help

    (by the way, the proposed here spell check does not recognize "Lenovo" - * lol *)

    I saw this happen occasionally during installation via the USB port. In my experience, it is when a USB 3.0 or eSATA/USB combo port is present. It does not occur if start you it from a Windows existing, nor happens during the installation of optical media.

    There is something that includes ImageX that you can use to install Windows, but that gets a little complicated.

  • Problem with Windows Update after the new installation of Windows 7 Pro the Lenovo ThinkPad X 200

    I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. The product key is easy to find on the sticker of the ThinkPad. However, the version of Windows is hidden (for example, I can't check that my ThinkPad had originally installed Windows 7 Pro). I was able to install by using a Pro Win 7 SP1 CD ROM I bought for another installation. I used the ThinkPad I was trying to make the new facility on the product key. I was able to activate the Windows 7 Pro using the phone call and my cell phone. I checked the activation! However, I have problems with Windows update. The product key may be a different version of Windows 7. If so, why did it install and activate OK? Y at - it a fix for this problem or I have to buy a new version of Windows 7 Pro? Please note that I have not yet installed all drivers Lenovo ThinkPad as I can't seem to install correctly. Thank you!

    Since the issue is updated to Windows, it is not a product number key.

    You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

    How to reset the Windows Update components

    Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

  • I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse.

    Original title: right click on the mouse itself activating

    I borrowed a USB to a person at work and I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse. The left click of two devices works normally, however, sometimes she does not respond to clicks and it takes a few seconds to work. The left button was constantly starts to turn on, as if he was stuck. After that I hit Alt + Tab and modify windows it stops for a few moments and starts at a later date. I havo not found a specific condition or a combination of keys that may trigger the fault.

    I read a few posts on discussion forums, but all say that it could be a hardware problem, which I think is not, because both devices have the same problem and I'm sure it all started with the insertion of the borrowed memory stick. I scanned the readers to help Symantec's EndPoint Protection and installed Microsoft Security Essentials and performed a full scan, but found nothing. I even restored the system, but the problem remains.

    Should I get a different antivirus? How can I find the cause so I can find a better targeted solution?

  • Battery Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 13 (0217) problem

    Hello guys,.

    Because I couldn't find a solution for my problem, I decided to write here, hoping that someone (by a team from Lenovo or users) have the same problem and therefore can help me.

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 model (version 0217). (I bought from a friend, because he didn't deliver more when I decided to buy it.)

    I have problems with my battery. The design of this capacity is 62.12 Wh, I used it wisely, so it was not always charged to 100%. I always unload down around 5-7% and then plug the power adapter. (See image).

    My first problem is that during the last 3 months, the capacity is down to 45,88 Wh and I can't really understand why. This can be a generic problem with the battery?

    My second problem is - for which I found another topic here, but it did not help me - that when I charge the battery, stops at 99% of load, showing "3 minutes is remaining" and if I disconnect and reconnect the adapter, it stops like 99% saying have completely loaded. In the battery maintenance, I changed the settings to "always fully charge' Custom, but still, it won't charge the battery fully.

    My third problem is that I have updated the BIOS of my laptop a few days ago, and when I try to search for an update of the firmware battery or when I do a battery meter reset, the system shuts down suddenly without any warning or something else.

    I would be really grateful if someone could help me with this, I like really my laptop but it really bothers me...

    Thanks in advance.

    (1) so that you must have used it a bit and then, under the charge cycle is at 234.

    (2) don't know, but sometimes my battery the fact.

    (3) download HWinfo32 and check your system temp, and what temperature your CPU is.

  • Some problems with the upgrade of RAM on Lenovo ThinkPad T500?

    Hello

    My laptop is Lenovo ThinkPad T500 and its main features as follows:

    -Processor Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 (2.53 GHz, 1066 MHz, 6MBL2).

    - 4 GB PC3 - 8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067 MHz SODIMM Memory (2 DIMM).

    -ATI Mobility Radeon 3650 with 256 MB.

    I really need to upgrade the RAM to work with SharePoint 2010 and Windows Server 2008 R2. and my big question is:

    * How many memory locations that I have in my Lenovo ThinkPad T500?

    I read on (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-55644#t) that the maximum memory size for T500 is 8 GB.

    Yes, in case if my Lenovo ThinkPad T500 laptop has only two memory slots, so, I'll have to buy 2 memory cards of ThinkPad 4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 Low-halogen SO-DIMM, in order to get the 8 GB... and I have to throw my current memory cards...

    My other question is:

    * Is easy to install/remove RAM in Lenovo ThinkPad T500?

    Sorry to ask the second question, but I have never dealt with before material.

    I would appreciate your inputs.

    Thank you for your consideration of my request and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

    The T500 has only two slots of RAM, so the upgrade to 8 GB would mean that your two existing 2 GB modules would need to be removed.

    Replacement of the RAM is simple; Remove the four screws for the Palm and the locations of memory will be under the palm rest.

  • Qosmio X 770 - 13F - can I built it second internal HDD/SSD?

    Hello from the snowy mountains of Savoie!

    My computer is a Qosmio X 770 - 13F.

    I am disappointed because it runs very slowly (I have the 'windows 7 explore bar green problem'...)
    I expanded the 8 GB RAM: no change to the actual speed.

    In this computer, there is only one hard drive (750 GB, 5400 RPM).
    The evaluation of access disk hard windows is only 5.9!

    There is an empty place next to the hard drive, so I wonder if it is possible or not to add a second internal hard drive or even an SSD.

    I searched for this user manual: no answer!
    And on the web, I have also not found response.
    Perhaps on this forum?

    Thank you and I apologize for my 'English amateur' (I'm french!)
    Jerome.

    In General, it is not easy to discuss the performance of the laptop. All of us use notebook with a specific setup and preinstalled applications that can run in the background and slowing down the reaction of notebooks.

    All I can say is that you must check the OS configuration and disable some unnecessary applications to start with Windows. Also disable the Windows automatic update installation. This can also slow down cell phone operations.

    I n t have this laptop Qosmio but it will be interesting to follow: when you remove the cover and check empty place is available HDD/SSD connector or not?
