Replace the hard drive of 500 GB with 256GB SSD in spectrum XT Touchsmart

I tried to replace the HARD drive of 500 GB with 256 GB Samsung SSD and then began to install it using the external DVD drive, but during installation without disk hard were found. What I have to disable certain BIOS settings or I need to install the SSD in a separate location. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.

Yupp, I could install an SSD. You need to install the drivers for RAID Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) driver (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=22194&ProductFamily=Software+Products&ProductLine=Chipset+Software&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Rapid+Storage+Technology+ (Intel % C2% AE + RST) & lang = fre) during the installation of Windows 8. I extracted the drivers for USB and everything by choosing which device to install windows 8 installed drivers.

After that, the SSD has been detected and the simple installation procedure. I pasted the link for the driver, don't know whether or not it will get removed. In case it is removed just search driver RAID Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST).

  • If I replace the HARD drive of my laptop with Win7 OEM how to recharge Win7 with no CD?

    Hello

    I checked my laptop and the operating system, Windows 7, has "OEM" as part of the product Ref ID. That is as I expected.

    This cell phone which is a Samsung R540 is practically zero it is guaranteed for 12 months and has already had two replacement hard drives installed under warranty by authorised repairers.  I'm waiting for his failure some time and it will then no longer be under warranty.

    The hard drive is easily replaced by me, but then I won't have an operating system in which case I have to

    ) a purchase new op system,.
    (b) portable send the repairman newe HDD and opus system installed at extra cost to me or

  • Replace the HARD drive in mid-2012 MBP of SSD?

    Given to replace my HARD drive of 1 TB in MBP mid-2012.  This MBP has already been customized (by Apple) to 2.9 GHz i7 8 GB mem.

    I'm looking for a solution at least to 1 TB also. How about this:

    Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB 2.5 inch SATA III internal SSD (MZ-75E1T0B/AM)

    IS it really that simple, as suggested by some video: current copy to SSD connected externally, than to go ahead with replacement? Then you can continue normal OSX updates as usual?

    Is it really worth?

    Yes, I do some "prosumer" video (FCP) and audio (Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools) - and use external USB 3 HARD drive.

    Yes, it was worth it. The difference between day and night.

    I don't know Samsung but 2.5 "is inside that you need, SATA III Yes.

  • Replacing the hard drive on my Portege A200

    Hi, I would like to replace the hard drive in my a200 with a bigger, but I don't know how to remove the current, just wondering if any of you guys could help me?

    Thank you james

    Hello James

    Unfortunately the A200 does not for me, but the concept is still the same. At first check if you can find coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner of your unit. If you can't find it from the outside as it comes to the very complicated situation. It is possible that the HARD drive is under the keyboard.

    If you have not many don't experience do it alone, because you can damage something, and the guarantee is no longer valid.

    Good luck!

  • Replace the HARD drive - same MODEL same vs P/N

    I intend to replace the HARD drive in my T30 with the same original title Travelstar.  There seems to be a lot of available.  It's cheaper to buy a disk without the caddy and I can transfer the caddy from the old drive.  I found the discs "naked" with the MODEL number matching (ICN25N040ATCS04-0) but the PART number is different (mine is 08K 1089).  Specs are the same.   Is a football match of MODEL number sufficient, or do the different p / n apply to different interfaces or other settings that should I worry about the?

    TIA,

    Dan

    as long as it is a form factor 2.5 inch PATA 9.5 mm disk hard drive then its okay. The travelstar disc is used in many different company machines, so the player you replace may not be a machine IBM/Lenovo, it might be just as likely a compaq machine, etc..

    But nevertheless, it should work.

  • Qosmio X 500 - 10W - can I replace the HARD drive with another?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio X 500 - 10W with two drive HARD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500 GB 5400 RPM 8 MB? SATA II but is one of the hs so I'm wondering if I can be replaced by a more powerful style, drive HARD 750 GB 7200 RPM / min 16 MB Toshiba courses?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Your question is a bit hard to understand, but I think you want to replace the HARD drive with another (faster) model, right?

    Well, that s no problem. 7200 RPM hard drives works, they are a little stronger, but they're faster so if you need more performance without problem.
    750 GB or more are also no problem because the SATA interface is not the limited capacity. Theoretically 1 TB or more should also work.

    Anyway, you can buy the 750Go you mentioned that it will work. :)

  • Re: Tecra A9 - 11M - replace the HARD drive with a larger

    I have a Tecra A9 - 11 M with Windows XP Professional installed. I would like to replace the hard drive with a larger drive and install Windows 7 Professional.

    Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?

    Difficulties to install Windows 7 on this model?

    Hey,.

    > Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?
    I assume you mean 500 GB and not 500MB, right? ;)

    Well, the Tecra A9 already supports SATA interface and there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface, so you can install a 500 GB HARD drive or more (750 GB, etc.). Just make sure that it s 2.5 SATA HDD.

    You can choose each brand of HARD drive because each model will not work. You can buy a Toshiba HDD, Western Digital HARD drive or another. No problem ;)

  • Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD? or would it be too expensive?

    Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD?

    or would it be too expensive?

    Yes.  There are several alternatives.  I found a way relatively inexpensive, using a map of mSATA (very small SSD) and an adapter to connect it to the connector IDE 44 pin internal of my PowerBook.  It works very well.  Rather than repeat what I posted previously, you can watch these two topics (which also has good info, other users)

  • How to replace the hard drive with an SSD on a model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286

    Hello

    I would like to replace the hard drive on my model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286 with a disk solid state drive (SSD). First of all, I would like to know if this is possible. Second, what is the best way to do it? I'm under the Yosemite OS if that makes a difference.

    Here are some technical details of my current system:

    -MacBook Pro 15 inch, late 2011 model A1286

    -OS yosemite

    -16 GB of memory/RAM

    -Currently using stock HD

    All instructions step by step would be helpful with what software should I use to make backups of my current operating system (e.g., SuperDuper). I would also like to know what tools or material I need like type of screwdriver, cables to transfer data to the SSD, etc.. My goal is to not have to reinstall each app one by one on the SSD, but if that's the only way to do it then it's okay.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    You can see instructions OWC here. Tools are mentioned in the discussion (I used a plastic knife picnic with the stronger edge somewhat blunt for nylon pry tool). I suggest you invest in one of these external fences. Install the SSD in who and clone internally externally with CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. Then move the external drive of the internal drive after the start of the SSD in the external to confirm the operation.

  • How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

    My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

    Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

    Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

  • Problems with folder permissions after replacing the hard drive

    Hello

    Recently, I replaced the hard drive on my mac.  Already before the replacement, I got the files that I had locked.  Now I'm unable to open the file.  I get the error "the folder 'nom_de_dossier' can not be opened because you don't have permission to see its content".  I looked at the permissions for the folder and everything he says is fetch.  I ran a command in the Terminal and for one of the records in question, that's what I see-

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Running OS X El Capitan

    Try this first:

    Start the mac all holding the SHIFT key, it is slow, connection, and then select Restart from the Apple menu.

    When this does not help:

    Reset password utility in the recovery Partition:

    1. Restart your computer from the recovery partition.
    2. Open disk utility and run a repair permissions on your boot volume (in ElCapitan click the first aid tab). Once this completed, close disk utility. We do this for good measure.
    3. Open a Terminal from the Utilities menu. Type in resetpassword and select your user (NOT administrator system/root) account in the menu drop-down.
    4. Click on the Reset button at the bottom of the window ACL section and Reset the folder permissions.
    5. Exit the utility password and return to the main recovery menu.
    6. On your keyboard, press + Q and restart your computer. It is very important that you don't hold down the power button to exit the recovery session, or the ACL Reset to occur.
