Problems to Windows 7 new SSD

I bought a HPE-170F with a 1 TB HARD drive and decided to add an Intel X - 25 M SSD 80 GB as drive operating system.  I didn't know that I would run into problems of displacement of the Windows 7 OS to the new drive.  I tried both possibilities.

First of all, I created with the disconnected original 1 TB drive and HP recovery discs, I tried to recover the OS to the new drive.  The 80 GB drive was already formatted and recognized in the BIOS.  Recovery failed when I received the error message that the new drive is smaller than the original drive.  Of course the 80 GB is large enough to contain the operating system and much more, but the recovery system know it is less than the original drive.

My another attempt was to create a system image since the 1 TB drive through Windows 7 and using the Windows repair disk C to try to restore that image on new 80 GB drive.  First of all, I reduced the original score from C to about 37 GB for it go below 80 GB disk size.  I managed to create the image system 5 DVD even if I created the ERD at that time here as I did previously.  With the 1 TB drive unplugged, I started with the Windows repair disk that went well until the moment he seems to start restoring image system and failed.  This time the error is "Not in the catalog (0 X 80780003) backup set".

My next thought is to try a third party software to prepare the original image of the disk system and use this software to clone to the new drive.  I wonder about a number of things.  One, the alignment will be correctly the 80 GB SSD using this method?  And secondly, will install a cloning of lead drive to other operation OS future headaches because he wasn't a clean place.

Any suggestions or experiences, that I can draw?  Thanks in advance.

Buy a third-party software like or similar to Paragon Hard Drive Management Suite of Imaging. Burn the disc to boot WinPE supplied with the product.   Download all partitions in combined on your main drive size to not be greater than your new SSD.  If you got your OS up to 37 GB then you should be in good shape.

Start the WinPE CD image, and an image of the hard drive (all partitions) to an external USB HD, CD/DVD media or hard disk 2 If you have two.  Turn off your PC and swap in the new SSD. Boot the WinPE image boot disk and then restore your image to your new SSD.

Once you get your SSD to start then go to management-> disk management computer, fully extend the screen and see how you can use to add may to your partition C of unallocated space.

I'd rather not use freebe products as they do not have the WinPE boot disk.

    Please help get 1 TB of HARD drive for the 64 GB SSD in my Alienware m17 r4!

    Alienware Respawn program is NOT able to cope with this transfer... He said that there is no enough space, must be original 1 TB drive...

    Also, it is strictly recommended that new windows should be installed SSD not transferred again, but how do I do it?

    with the new system UEFI/BIOS it is looks too difficult for me... There is no installation of Alienware Microsoft Windows 8 Disk in the package comes...
    If I can get it? And then, he of course it will work correctly in the UEFI system

    Have tryied: MINI TOOL PARTITION WIZARD, it shows all containing (5 partitions) completely has been copied from 1 TB of disk and mounted on the SSD 64 GB

    but when I put the SSD in the laptop, he says is that some sort of error and the system must be reinstalled.  CD of Acronis not picked up at all with boot...

    The license of Windows 8, my understanding, is the UEFI. So I recommend that you ask the disc from Dell.

    Everything went well without any problem install Win 7 Ultimate and a lot more quick search time, etc...

    The problem that I have, is that when I start the laptop from the cold, IE turn it on to use, the SSD is not recognized and I just get a black screen with the top left corner flashing cursor, but if I press on Ctrl-Alt-Del, the system restarts and boots then in windows without problem.

    I'm trying to know if I can access Advanced BIOS Options, if I press F10 when booting I get only Options like to change boot order and not more advanced to change the training settings, etc. and F2 does not Diagnostics for the SDS.

  • Toshiba Tecra S3 - new SSD stuck on JBOD, cannot install windows on it

    I just got myself a Kingston V series 64 GB SSD drive, but I can't it is detected by windows installation programs.
    After looking around, I found that the Tecra S3 drives must be "1RAID 0" and not JBOD to activate windows to
    be installed on it. (unless you use the recovery CD, which I did not right now, even if I wanted to use it)

    I also found the "collar" necessary to get the BIOS to change when you get to 'run the creation '.
    is 1,2,3,4, [Enter].

    But here's the catch: + BIOS does not account for the string... +.
    I type the string, 1234, [Enter], and it cancels my desired, change as if I said NO and set it to JBOD.
    (if I don't type the string on the right, it comes out, but stays 1raid0 and "run the creation" is still there)
    I tried on one of my other drives and it worked fine, but for some reason this drive seems not wanting me to.

    I tried the USB drive (works fine) and the BIOS sees it for what it is, so that the drive works well (from my tests)

    Would be really appreciated any ideas on what to do now, I'm out of ideas on what I did not properly
    Thank you!

    Hello

    > I just got myself a Kingston V series 64 GB SSD drive, but I can't it is detected by windows installers

    Have you included the RAID driver in Windows before you tried to reinstall the OS?
    On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the RAID driver to be included when installing Windows installation.

    Regarding the change in BIOS RAID;
    I m not very good, but it might be possible that you cannot change the reason the SSD RAID option.
    If other drives are working properly and that the RAID may be changed using a common HARD disk the problem is related to the new SSD drive.

    Maybe you need to update the firmware on the SSD drive to check it out.

  • Presario CQ61-110SL: upgrade for laptop Presario CQ61-110SL from XP to Windows 7 with new SSD EVO 840

    In fact on Presario CQ61-110SLI I have XP installed the Vista of origin instead.

    Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and contestually get a new SSD Samsung 840 rather original EVO... What is the correct procedure?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    There is no procedure to upgrade from XP to Win 7, it would be clean installation.

    1. place the SSD drive in the machine instead of the HARD disk

    2. start the installation of Win 7 disc to install Win 7 (best x 64 edition)

    3 install the drivers of the machine, you can download from >here<

    Windows 7 is optimized to work with SSD, there will be no problem.

    If you have important data on your old HDD, you can either save it before (on external support, USB key, Cloud solution, etc.)  or after it (via a USB cable plugged into the laptop as external drive). This is also an option to transfer data.

    Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Happy holidays!

  • 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.

  • New SSD in T430, Windows does not, tried everything...

    Hello

    I bought a T430 a week ago. I'm not completely inept with computers: I have successfully added an another 4 GB of RAM with no problems.

    Then I wanted to replace my HDD with my SSD. I know that the SSDS works because he was in another laptop. I put it in an external dock; It hooked up to my T430. He allowed. I kept safe backup HARD drive, I used several times since then. I also did a recovery of Windows on a CD disc.

    I cloned the HARD drive on my SSD using EaseUS software and said to make it bootable. It didn't for me, so I blamed the software.

    Then I used Acronis True Image to make a bootable copy of my setup on a USB key. I turned on the computer with just the SSD (empty) and tried to load the USB key. My computer does not recognize the bootable copy of white point. Everything takes back me to a screen asking me which drive I want to start since several times.

    Good then, I said, clone the HDD to the SSD and try the bootable USB. Has done this, but it had no effect. Same problem as above.

    Okay okay, let's try a new installation on the SSD using the recovery disk. That's when the real fun happens. I get to the menu on the theme of Lenovo System Recovery, and I click Next. Then I get a warning message saying "this version of the System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of Windows that you want to repair. Try to use a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of Windows. What? I did only this morning. I don't think that the main Windows updates has been since then! (Just in case, I made an even more recent recovery disc tonight. I had the same error).

    Then I erased the SSD and tried the recovery on the own SSD disk. Same mistake once again. Recovery disks do not work, the system does not recognize the USB copy and the SSD cloned (and allegedly boot-loan) does not start.

    What is going on? All I'm doing is replace my with my SSD HARD drive and running Windows 7. I don't think it would be this hard

    Some additional points:

    -I'm inserting readers. The computer can read it is a series of 840 Samsung SSD.

    -There is no problem with the USB. My office can read very well and sees that there are 29GB of stuff there.

    -J' have changed the boot order in the BIOS to load the disk USB (or CD) first.

    -J' disabled the safe boot option in the BIOS.

    -J' tried UEFI, inheritance, etc. etc., mixture of both.

    -Yes, it's a legitimate copy of Windows. It came with the computer a week ago. There is [i] might [/ i] a question I try to reinstall Windows 7 on SSD, but the only recovery disks that come with the computer are Windows 8... but then how do I get Win 7 on my SSD?

    -J' looked for in the forums. None of the solutions proposed (for most listed above) have worked.

    Any help would be appreciated, people.

    I had one extra hiccup. The disc of Windows 7 could not find the product key for activation/product on the BIOS. Couldn't any semi-douteux program I downloaded. So I could not allow Windows 7.

    I called Lenovo. They said it was my fault for using disks of Windows recovery instead of Lenovo recovery disks. (God forbid! It really should not matter. It is a terrible approach the part of Lenovo who their initial recovery disks gave me an error about the licenses, but yet they apparently do not support the Windows stocks recovery disks.) In any case, after that I said to the officer - in my polite way - that it is a ridiculous scenario, she offered to send me Lenovo recovery disks.

    I agreed. They arrived today. I reinstalled Windows and now everything works fine.

    In the case where someone reads this thread in the future: ask Lenovo will send you recovery disks Win 7 Pro and use after the installation of the SSD. It considerably facilitates the process.

  • Install the EFI on new SSD partition when doing 10 costs of Windows Installer

    I have a similar problem to this topic. Windows was originally (and still is) installed on my HARD drive and I just installed my SSD recently. When I did a clean install of Windows 10 on my new SSD it has not installed the EFI partition.

    Is there a way to create a new partition on the SSD EFI (of course I have to do another new facility) or do I have to physically unplug my HARD drive before you begin?

  • 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.

  • Reinstall Windows 7 on new SSD after failure of hard disk, damaged, incomplete product key

    I have a HP Pavilion.  The HARD drive recently failed completely, no possibility to recover data at the moment.  I ordered a set of HP recovery disks, but they seek the recovery on the HARD drive partition; There is no such partition that I replaced the HARD original with a new SSD drive.  To make things worse, the place that HP has chosen to put the Microsoft product key sticker resulted in the product being partially faded key.

    So, to summarize: HP not Pavilion with a corrupt OEM HDD and so far no data recovery possible. a new SSD with no partitions on this subject; a set of recovery disks from HP that don't just work; a sticker with the product key with the first two digits of the product key (as well as some of the barcode, etc.) rubbed off because they have chosen to place the sticker on the bottom of a working computer instead of, say, under the battery, it can be protected.

    If someone in the community has a suggestion as to how to install Win 7 (must be 7 on this system, cannot be an iteration of 8 or 10) from scratch, without having to buy it and with a corrupt OEM disc and a partial product key, I'd love to hear it.  Maybe it's time to install Debian on it?

    Ahh, this is the crux of the problem... the bootmgr is missing.

    To restore the windows off the factory restore DVD, you must configure the BIOS to use the DVD drive as the primary boot device. The machine will then start on the first DVD, and you will not get the above message.

  • Clean install of Windows 7 Professional on a new ssd.

    I intend to buy an ssd. my pc was originally run under windows vista and I had him upgraded to windows 7 Professional. is it possible to do a clean install of my windows 7 Professional on the new ssd? If so, how? and Microsoft will allow this? It's always the same pc.

    If you have a win7 upgrade version, you must install the earlier version of the victory first then move to win7.

    If your version of Vista was preinstalled by the PC manufacturer you pourriez have encountered problems with your recovery disc for the ssd.

    Personally I would not buy a smaller than 256 GB ssd

  • Clean install of windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade, I have windows xp x 32 on a disk hard available, which I no longer use, can I do this?

    I want to clean install windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade.

    I have windows xp x 32 on an existing hard drive which I no longer use, I can do this, that I can start the upgrade process, and then point the installation on the new SSD?
    I really don't want to install XP on the new SSD and am not bothered about keeping programs or settings

    How to do a clean install:

    Step 1: Use the upgrade wizard to describe the PC and pay the $40 (US)

    Step 2: When the 'Install Windows 8' message appears, select 'Install by creating media' to create a bootable USB key or .iso (a disk image) file.

    Step 3: Wait for the Wizard download Windows 8 Pro installation package and create the bootable media or .iso file. The flash player must be having 3 GB or more of free space available.

    Step 4: Burn the .iso file, if that's the path you have chosen, to a blank DVD.

    Step 5: Use this key USB or DVD to boot the PC.

    Step 6: When you get to the screen in the Setup program that asks, "which type of installation you want?" choose "custom".

    Step 7: Select a drive for the operating system partition in the next screen. At this point, you can create a new partition if there is enough space available or reformat the hard disk.

    Step 8: Proceed with the installation of Windows 8 Pro.

    You should probably do a phone activation after installation is complete.

    1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4
