• 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!

• 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!

• Try to do a clean install of Windows 7 to new SSD, would like to know if I can use the same product key.

  Original title: re-install Windows 7

  Hello. I recently built my own PC and installed a purchased copy of Windows 7 hard disk. I'm upgrading to an SSD 120 GB and I was wondering if there was a way completely erase my old hard drive for all files and all re - install windows using my CD key and product. I heard that once you use the product key, the copy of Windows is 'married' to this hard drive and the key cannot be used anywhere else. Is this true? Basically, I'm doing a clean install on this new SSD. Thank you.

  Not at all, you can erase and reinstall Windows as many times as you want as long as you have the product key.  The only restriction is that the key can be used only on one computer at a time.  Unless this key is used somewhere else, you can install a billion times.  The key is what you pay for, not the CD (in fact, if you lose the CD you can download another copy, but you need to keep your secret key).

  In any case, the process is simple: just put in the CD and restart and follow the steps to install.  When you get calls that lead to install on, you have options to format (erase) the drive and basically start over completely.

  The only real thing you need to know is that, after the installation, you will need to go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the drivers for your computer.  According to the computer, you may need to get the driver of network from another computer and copy it using a flash drive (if the network needs the driver before it can connect).

• 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.

  Hello

  Glad you got it going... If I had to guess, it was very likely updates .net 3.5, which has caused the problem... or maybe, Net 4.5...

  They require a process runs to complete their installation that seems to start running in the middle of updates remaining to try to install...

  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

  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.

• Reimage Windows 7 to new SSD - and restore the Professional upgrade

  I want to spend my Windows 7 64 - bit of a hard disk of 1 TB to a new 128 GB SSD. I would like to do a clean install of the SSD. I thought I could use the backup, but apparently he wants to restore the entire disk, and there is not enough space on the SSD.  I have a set of discs of recovery of HP, but here's the problem: a couple of years, I've improved the Home Premium to professional. I did it online and it worked well, but for the life of me I can't find a confirmation email, or license key. Is it possible to generate a key of the existing facility, so I can update the new image?

  Thank you!
