• Replace HDD SSD Touchsmart HP Envy 15-j151nr advice needed

  I will replace the 1 TB HARD disk provided with this computer using Samsung 840 256 GB HARD drive. I looked through these forums and elsewhere and am still confused with the best procedure to make sure a bootable stick with installed Windows 8.1.

  I have a scanner I'll make a copy of the recovery by using the PC software disc is supplied by HP. I also ordered disk backup of OEM windows 8.1 for the installation of the operating system if necessary.

  The SSD will have the USB adapter to prepare with the latest firmware updates and if necessary formatting before installation.

  I got the product key MS using 3rd party software from the bios if necessary

  My question is for the installation of the new SSD more is it recommended to use the HP recovery disk I have done and start on the optical drive for installation as described in the manual of HP or use Microsoft's OEM disk I will receive? I understand there are a 4 partitions on the original disc with one of them the key to unlock the product key installed in the bios. I'm willing to use a 3rd party software to copy files and partitions, but prefers not to do so.

  Any input on this is appreciated

  The HP recovery disk will not work. Only, it can be used on a disk that is at least as large as the original, which is causing many problems for people who want to install the SSD drives. The OEM disc works perfectly. If the laptop comes with Windows 8.1 then the key Code is actually printed in the BIOS and the installation disk will automatically find it. If the laptop comes with Windows 8 and you ugraded to 8.1 at any given time, it's actually a little more complex. In this case the only simple thing to do is to get a drive OEM Windows 8. The key in the BIOS Code is only for the original operating system. Yes, assuming you have the right OEM disk just boot from it and follow the prompts to install Windows 8 or 8.1. You will be pleasantly surprised, how fast it goes with an SSD. The original drive will have all drivers and apps installed at the factory, and programs in C:\swsetup folder so it is a good idea to have a way to get out of the original 1 TB drive, and you can install them on the new drive once the operating system is loaded.

• 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.

  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.

  Hello

  I want to change my Sat U940-100 by a SSD HARD drive.
  I can make a perfect copy but when I change the HDD SSD won't.
  Can someone explain me what I have to do?

  I think it has to do with het SSD of 32 GB, which is already inside?
  What I have to change something in the BIOS?

  What do you mean it won't? What did you do exactly?

  In my opinion after Exchange of HDD with SSD, you must install the original recovery image and start using your laptop with the 'settings '.

• Cannot change HDD or password user on lenovo y500

  Hi guys, I have Lenovo y500 SLI, i7 3630 8 GB ram, 1 TB HARD drive with the propulsion system of hybrid 16ssd. BIOS 1.05 version

  The only problem I have is that I put my bios password and after the HARD drive password. so whenever I start the computer after restart for example, I write my passwords. I put the same password for everything, so it's easy. The only problem I have is that I can not change or cancel the password. has or user. When I try, bios tells me.

  system can disable alone or by the administrator, the password clear user or master password - continue.

  and I can change only the password of the user, but cannot delete it. and set HARD drive password is gray, can not enter. I want to sell my laptop, but the buyer wants the HARD drive password to... remove all solutions? its really strange. In other laptops, it's easy, just together old password, then press enter on the empty space and the password is gone. but not here, what should I do? Thank you

  Now, I had the chance to create the same environment as your in an insydeH20 BIOS.

  It will allow you to change your administrator password as you type your user password to enter the BIOS. This is why you are not able to change or remove your administrator password or master password, since you will not have privileges to modify those with a user password.

  When you enter the BIOS, please use your administrator password, you will be able to remove passwords

• Updated Lenovo Y500 DSLR editable in CS6?

  Hi all

  I have been a reader for a long time in this great forum.

  I read most posts go-to leave the gurus here as a prejudice on the portable edition and its pitfalls.

  However, I am a full time student support and shift my time around much so I still need a portable editing solution.

  In addition, my budget is around $1500 USD.

  That said, I think I found the cell phone of choice in a upgrade/modded Lenovo Y500.

  http://www.Amazon.com/Lenovo-IdeaPad-59359560-I7-3720QM-2-6GHz/DP/B00BWSCX0E/

  Processor: Core i7 3720QM

  RAM: 16 GB

  GPU: GT 650 M 2 GB DDR5 (via the hack of CUDA)

  Storage: SSD 240 GB, 1 TB 7200 RPM + room for more

  Screen: 15.6 "iced (wish is Matt)

  Cooling: This is one 15.6 cases "more ventilated with no CPU/GPU limitation.

  Later down the line, I'll get an extra HARD drive caddy and replace the second GPU, but that will have to wait for the budget.

  (I know CS6 will not benefit from SLI, but they are available only through Amazon with two GPUS)

  I will work with most Canon DSLR images.

  Also some AVCHD in the future, perhaps?

  What is the likelihood is this machine to manage these codecs at full resolution in CS6?

  Thanks in advance.

  David

  David,

  The link Amazon you gave says nothing about the resolution of the screen. I hope it is 1920 x 1080. If this is the case it looks like a good laptop for your needs and fits your budget. A typical case of Serendipity.

• Portege R700 - DVD replace HDD/SDD

  Hi all

  I do not use my dvd player at all and I would like to replace it with a hdd/ssd.
  Any way to do it?

  Thank you
  Christian

  Hello

  I checked specification for this Portege and can't find any info on this type of upgrade.

  In the past, that Toshiba has offered several models of different laptops with adapter separated from SelectableBay HDD and instead of ODD, it was possible to put the second HARD drive. Unfortunately I think that it is not available for this Portege.

  Have you tried to find some information about it?

• Satellite L655D-011-HDD/SSD Alert, HARD drive failure?

  I have an old L655D-011 of 6 months and yesterday it started to appear with the message to back up my files because there is a problem with my HARD drive. Well, after having a technical support in the past, I don't give that easily and simply run my laptop to the nearest authorized service center. Instead, I help out.

  I did the BIOS update finally. No change in question.
  Finally had time to create a recovery media. No problem with that at all.
  I reformatted. No change in question.
  Checked the health monitor. It shows that my HARD drive is "good". Yet, when I double-click the icon, I get a pop - up with the following message:

  "Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert."

  Disk0

  Your HARD drive is SMART failure to predict which monitors the status of operation of the HARD drive. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a back-up to the date of your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new replacement if necessary. »

  So, after that I decided to run a CHKDSK /f /r. Result: 'windows replaced bad clusters in file name \hiberfil.sys 44990.'

  I should be good to go, right? N ° same problem with the precaution of backing up my files.

  But this isn't good, is it? If my HARD drive is about to fail why monitor health show that everything is "good"? There is no problem with gel, pxe.boot errors, rattling disc, unusual vibrations or read/write failures.

  So, my questions (after all the above and see other threads to ask questions about HARD drive failure messages) are: were there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly? Are failure drives hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)? The health monitor working correctly?

  In my opinion your questions cannot be answered simply.
  > Are there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly?
  How many people must confirm that they have the same problem? I guess this happens from time to time, but you cannot say that this problem is known.
  You will always find people who noticed the same issue and not on Toshiba forum only, but on all the forums where people discuss cell phones in general.
  > Is the disk failure hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)?
  How to check or confirm this?

  You know, during the first backup all your important data, watch carefully what happens the next few days. If the info appears again and again, contact the nearest service Toshiba and let them Exchange the HARD drive.
  The guarantee is valid and it will be free of charge.

• Portege R830-10 q build-in replacement of SSD

  The SSD for my R830 is bit small for me :( Are there chances of swaping the exclusive SSD from Toshiba with a SATA SSD 'standard '? Asuming they are models of the machine's HARD drive, it must be a standard SATA interface and a HDD/SSD Caddy for the R830! I couldn't find info on such an Exchange on the web :( Any ideas?

  Hello

  Yes, the laptop supports the SATA controller and you can also use simple disk HARD SATA 1.8 inches.

  In my opinion is not a big problem.

• HDD/SSD location second free Qosmio X 70 - B?

  I want to buy a new laptop series Qosmio X 70 - B.
  but I have a question about the equipment of the Qosmio laptop...
  Namely,

  It is a second free (EMPTY) 2.5 inch HDD/SSD slot inside the laptop to assemble the second HARD drive?

  X 70 series - Had second free HARD drive location... but this new thinner than a series B series... I think that this series B may not...

  I think that the Qosmio X 70 - B is peripheral different.
  Its similar to Satellite L70 - B or Satellite S70 - B series and my knowledge the second HDD slot isn't taken in charge.
