Re: Portégé R700 - how to install Windows 7 on new SSD?

Hello!

I want to change my HDD in Toshiba Portege R700 to SSD. How to install Windows 7 on this new SSD? I don't have any Windows installation disc.

Or that it will be possible to move the partition of the old HDD to new SSD (using Acronis, I could move the partition on the new HARD drive)?

I've heard of partition offset and this SSD block should be the same as FAT cluster (the same alignment).

All advice? (I know should I defragment my HARD drive before moving :))

Hey Buddy,

> I do not have any Windows installation disc.
Create the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the manual of the user before you exchange the disc, then you have a Setup disk. The Toshiba recovery disc will restore parameters of the box with all the drivers and tools. It can be used on each disc and how many times you want.

After this change the drive and start the Toshiba recovery disc. Follow the instructions on the screen and everything will be installed.

Check this box!

    Hello:

    I agree with your statements 1-5, with the amendment that there is only the W7 x 64 drivers for your laptop on its support page and driver, since HP only supports consumption patterns for the BONES of public windows into force at the time of the laptop (now Windows 8).

    Therefore, based on the hardware in your PC, I recommend you to use the W7 x 64 drivers and software for this model instead.

    DO NOT USE ALL DOWNLOADS OF BIOS OR FIRMWARE FROM THIS LINK

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=5274535#N608

    Now, I love the idea of installing on a separate HARD drive and returning the original disc if you want to sell the laptop, or simply go back to the use of W8.

    I think that if you went into the BIOS and returns settings to their default values and close the notebook before reinstalling the original drive, it should work perfectly.

    If you do not change the BIOS to their default settings before installing the original drive, I tend to accept that he cannot start.

    You cannot change all settings for the storage controller BIOS in your laptop.

    I think with the models with these caches ssd, is by default the RAID BIOS.

    If you use a Windows 7 installation disc or an ISO file that does not have SP1 media refresh, then Yes, you probably have to load a sata driver.

    Here's how to confirm that your speed controller is set to (AHCI or RAID).

    The simple way to check if your laptop drive controller is set to AHCI or RAID (it will be one of the two), is to do the following.

    To check if the drive is set to AHCI, go to Device Manager. Look at the categories of device.

    If the laptop is AHCI, there will be a category of devices IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.  Click to expand this category and you will see the name of the controller sata which are listed there.  For the chipset of your model, you should see that an Intel (r) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller listed.

    If your laptop drive controller is set to RAID, look further down the list of device category, and you'll see a category of storage controllers. Click to expand that, and if your laptop drive controller is set to RAID, you should see a controller Intel (r) Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID.

    Here is how you can determine which mode the inverter of your laptop SATA is configured for.

    Here is the link to the sata drivers, you may need... You want to download the first file listed for W7 x 64

    https://downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&Keyword=Intel+Rapid+Storage+Technology+(Intel+RST) & lang = fra

    So here's how to install the driver...

    Extract the files downloaded on a USB key.

    With the flash player and the installation of W7 media connected to the computer, boot from the installation of W7 media.

    After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

    You should now see the storage driver files listed.

    If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

    Follow the prompts and should install W7.

    I just bought a TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO C50, that came with Windows 7 pre-installed.

    When you start the system for the first time, I simply close and put Windows 8.1 media into the optical drive (disc 1 of 4) then entered the Recovery Wizard and may have chosen the wrong option, because I completely erase the hard drive and partitions.

    Now that I did it, I can't find how to install the Windows Media Pro 4 DVD provided 8.1. I can't find the correct option to do this. I changed the startup option in the control panel by pressing F2 at startup, so it reads from the DVD player. The DVD starts but then takes me into a recovery area of the system, which is not good as I wiped the system completely.

    How can I just now to install the Pro 8.1 provided Windows on the clean system right now?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Hello:

    Partitions or recovery discs do not work on a smaller hard drive.

    You need to install a simplified version of windows 7 on your SSD. You will not break the laws or rules of license by using the product key on the bottom of the PC to activate the installation.

    However, if you can not read all 25 characters of the product key you are flat out of luck and will have to buy a new operating system.

    Here's how to make your own simple Windows 7 installation disc if you have not already.

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  • Satellite C660 - how to install Windows on the new drive?

    I have an old C660 of 14 months (2 months warranty!) and the HARD drive died quite suddenly.

    * 3 days works great
    * 2 days, got stuck at the "starting Windows".
    * Tried to fix with a System Repair (DVD) boot disk, but could not solve the problem (ran all night)
    * Start of DVD today and now the prompt of commands, each command "dir" on c: takes 20 seconds and try to copy files gives IO error.

    I'm going to buy a new HARD drive and install, but is there a way to get Windows 7 on the drive?
    There is no Windows disk supplied with the notebook... THERE is a recovery partition, but it died too.

    I don't want to buy a new copy of Windows when I already have a license.

    (I never have a backup complete incl. system, like the one and the only time that I tried to do that it was unable to complete the process, killing of many Virgin DVD-R in the process).
    I have most of my personal files backed up.

    Thank you

    The situation is quite clear. You don t have created the recovery disk and you have only two options now:
    (1) you can order the original Toshiba Recovery disk and install the original recovery image
    (2) you can get the original installation disc from Microsoft and install own OS

    In the first case, check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0202TA0000R01.htm

    If you take the decision to use option 2 Please note that your product key is useless and you have to pay for the new activation of license and the code. The sticker product key Microsoft belongs to the recovery image only.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Adding an SSD as a boot drive - how to install Windows Vista Start

    To speed up my new e9105z, I bought a new 80 GB Intel X - 25 M to reduce disk latency and complete the 640GO HARD drive came with my computer.

    Drive has been installed successfully, recognized by the PC and formatted with the Windows Vista Disk Manager tool.  When I use the BIOS tool to set the Intel SSD as my boot drive, it says that some files of startup is missing, and I come to on the HARD disk as the startup disk.

    Bottom line: how to install Windows Vista on the SSD and configure it to start?  Did I lose my classic HDD data in the process?

    Here is where I am/measures taken.  HP of course makes this difficult process:

    (1) used the CD Creator to make a backup.  (Note that the CD - R does not work with the e9105z software.  Do only DVD-R).  (I tried the system HARD disk recovery image.  He simply reinstalled itself on the HARD disk.)

    (2) the value of Vista installed on the SSD via backup DVDs.  System starts beautifully with SSD.  Hooray! I was about to declare mission accomplished, then...

    (3) Reconnected my HDD SATA cable, she failed to be the startup disk.

    (4) I used disk management to reformat the HARD drive to erase its boot sector.  It is always default to the HARD disk, which is more a Vista on it.  Now, I must go into the BIOS and choose the Intel SSD as boot drive whenever I turn on manually.

    Any idea on what needs to be done to configure the BIOS to finally settle the SSD as my boot drive?  The backup system image is still on the old hard drive.  Could that be throwing?

    The SSD speed is great, but the 6 + hours spent on Vista reinstall, reinstall and reinstall throughout this trial and error process made a royal PITA to do.  It seems that HP didn't consider that whether by adding a second drive that is bootable.

    Thank you

    You should be able to select the startup disk in the BIOS.  Restoring image shouldn't be a factor.  If the BIOS settings do not work, I would swap the connectors between the readers.

  • H8-1240ef - install Windows 7 on a SSD

    Hello

    I have a HPE h8-1240ef with a disk of 1 TB SATA III.

    I would like to add a 64 GB SSD SATAIII drive in order to install Windows 7 above, to increase performance.

    Given that we do not have the "Windows 7 installation CD" with the HP machine, I don't know how to install Windows 7 on the SSD drive and swap the bootable volume, for the SSD read in the C: drive.

    Thanks a lot for your help

    Hey Grboutin,

    You will need the recovery disks to restore the system. But you'll need a 160 GB SSD the minimum size to restore the system using the recovery discs.

    You can create on your PC recovery disks, simply type in the start menu in the recovery and Recovery Manager should appear. Follow the instructions to create the media recovery either on DVD or a USB - stick.

    Here is a link.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01867124

    but - the key is - SSD JUST does not work, you MUST have a 160 GB or more to recover. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a retail version of windows.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A505-S6922 - how to install Windows 7 drivers?

    I have an A505-S6992 and I try to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate. I created the recovery with drivers and applications disc. In what order should I install and how to install Windows 7 ultimate?

    I tried to install by going just to the bottom of the list of applications/drivers, but has encountered an error.

    Display driver
    Audio driver
    LAN
    Touch Pad Driver
    Card reader

    If the CD/DVD drive in the works of PC Gateway, you can (at least temporarily) remove it and install it in the HP, you can run your recovery disc and reinstall Vista.  Once everything is running on the HP, you can always remove the CD/DVD drive and reinstall it in the gateway PC if you wish.

    Windows 10 is simply too new for your Mac, and Windows 7 is too old. It is quite a difficult situation. If you really need Windows, you would need to get a copy of Windows 8, or put to level to an earlier version of Mac OS X with a version of Boot Camp that works in Windows 7.
