Replacement 1 TB HD with 128 GB SSD

It is even possible to replace the hard drive of 1 TB with a 128 GB SSD? I tried it but when I try to run the recovery disk (so that I can install the original OS), it says "the size of your hard drive is not supported for this process. Please use a hard drive at least 931 GB in size. »

I tried to "shrink" the original HD, but it only allows me to go down to 450 GB or more.

My only option installs a new copy of Windows on this subject?

I managed to solve this problem using Acronis...

  • Replace drive HARD system with Samsung EVO SSD 1 TB of HP ENVY 17 - j005tx laptop computer

    Hi all

    Wanting just a few tips on how to migrate and replace the system drive without having to reinstall everything again.

    The Migration of Samsung tool work?  When I check my HDD in the laptop there 5 partitions...

    The HARD drive, I would like to replace a the following Partitions:

    400 MB (Recover Parition)

    260MO (EFI Partition)

    904 GB (drive c :) - NTFS)

    350 MB (recover Partition)

    25.5 GB (drive D: Recover - NTFS drive)

    According to the Samsung User Guide data Migration tool, he mentions the following:

    http://www.Samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/MZ-7TE1T0BW

    6 recovery OEM partitions, at the plant by computer makers, cannot be replicated. However, if the PC is manufactured by Samsung and SRS (Samsung Recovery Solution) 5 or 6 is installed, the recovery partition is automatically cloned. (Not supported in versions prior to SRS 5)

    How can I migrate all recovery OEM as well as partitions C: and D: partitions?

    Thanks in advance

    If you burn the recovery DVD, you don't need the recovery partition... they hold the same data. I try the clone on the new drive and see if it works. If it isn't then you still have the original drive and nothing has been lost. Reported problems with the migration of Samsung software. Personally, I use Acronis True Image Home for cloning, and it is not.

  • 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)

    Re: This win to install a SSD drive in a PowerBook G4?

    FYI - I have used the adapter is even cheaper now

    Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Now some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

    Probably nothing, it's probably a fluke. Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM by iMac Intel SCM and reset the PRAM. If this does not work, try a USB keyboard to test, if it works then your original keyboard has failed and must be replaced.

  • HP Touchsmart, model 520-1070: can I replace a defective hard drive with a new SSD in a HP Touchsmart, model 520-1070

    Any recommendations on the type of SSD, where I could acquire an and have the existing data migrated from defective HD would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    If you purchase the SSD as a migration kit, it will come with instructions.

    There is nothing you need to do in the BIOS.

    It is good to hear that you have had the foresight to save the data to the PC.

    Thanks in advance!

    For clean installation try to download Microsoft Media creation tool first. Using the tool, you can download a copy of the Win 8.1 installer. Save 8.1 only and not the PRO. During installation, the installation program does not the product key but it detect automatically your bios.

    You will need to place the ssd instead of the original location of the hard drive to boot successfully.

  • Replace T420s with a new SSD HARD drive

    Hello

    I wonderd if it is possible to replace with a new SSD HARD drive, while putting the HARD drive in the Bay of Ultra-slot.

    And if so, what SSD model should I buy, and how do I transfer the operating system and the data for the SSD?

    This SSD model will be compatible?

    Corsair neutron Series 120 GB SSD Sata III MLC 2.5 inches Retail

    Thank you very much

    Guy

    Yes, what you are proposing is quite feasible. You will need an adapter Ultabay to organize your HARD drive in the Ultrabay housing on your system. These are available from Lenovo, but are relatively expensive. You can get a much less expensive (~ $ 10) a compatible version on eBay. It is not as well finished as the real issue, but it works well.

    The best way to transfer everything on your SSD is "clone" of your HARD disk using a software as Acronis True Image. If your current HARD drive is made by Western Digital or Seagate you can get a free copy of Acronis on their Web site. Put the SSD in the SATA drive Bay and the HARD disk in the UtlraBay. Set the T520 to start from the Ultrabay, install/run Acronis here and make a clone for the SSD. Then boot from the SSD and you'll be all set.

    With respect to the SSD, many people here have had good success with Crucial M4, 520 Intel and Samsung 830. I guess that Corsair works perfectly as well, but I didn't know all messages from people here who have done so.

    Before ordering a SSD confirm if the HARD drive is 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick. Then order the same thickness SSD. This way, you will be able to use the metal rails caddy and rubber who now hold your HARD drive to contain the SSD.

  • have replaced my HARD original with an SSD drive, but now my laptop does not recognize HP support assistant?

    Dear Forum,

    I replaced my original HARD with a SSD drive, but now HP support assistant recognizes my phone? The program runs but updates always fail and when I look at general specifications the serial number, product name, number of product, microprocessors, system memory, motherboard, bios system, drive hard (s), and optical drive (s) are all empty. Interestingly, it recognizes the device to display (s) as being mobile intel (R) HD graphics and current resolution of 1366 x 768 and refresh rate 60.

    My laptop is an Australian model HP DV4 3029tx, which is an intel i5 14 "(2ème génération) with AMD graphics 6750" I replaced the original 640 GB hd with a 180 GB ocz vertex 2 using acronis to clone the drive.

    I would be grateful is anyone know how to get hp support assistant to recognize my computer.

    I think that cloning might be the question because the original configuration has been changed. Simple uninstall and reinstall again could possibly solve the problem as well...

  • MacBook Pro 128 GB SSD storage

    What can I expect from the 128 GB ssd storage in terms of size of the OS and Microsoft office installed as well as software, very simple that I need for my daily use. will it be enough, or should I go for the 256 GB. On the other hand is the pro storage (model 2015) macbook upgrade possible (future upgrade of storage higher)?

    If you store large amounts of data, it is preferable to use an SSD with a different drive.

    the SSD should contain your OS applications and kernel, but if you are working with smaller text documents, spreadsheets and PowerPoints on the SSD storage do not have a lot to worry about and you can use data optimally with the speed that the SSD offers on HARD drive.

    If you work with raw files of creative cloud, hi-res photography, video, Audio recording, a lot of family photos or a great iTunes collection consider a second disc more to keep these files on your SSD.

    You can install an SSD that fits, but more large size disks are replacements for what you put there so you cannot pass a 128 'largest capacity SSD' than it is currently, you must purchase a 256 or 512 or 1 to and remove your 128 system.

  • Replace the hard drive with SDS

    Hello!
    I have a HP Pavilion dv2500 laptop and I want to replace my original HHD with a Samsung 840 EVO Solid State Hard Drive. The big question is: it'll work? It will take something special to make it work?

    Thank you!

    It will work. The player will cost near what's worth the laptop, but it will work. If you are running Windows 7 or Windows 8 and especially Windows 8, the system adapts itself to a SSD so there is really nothing you have to do.

  • HP CQ60-4098SA: problem starting with the new SSD on CQ60-409SA

    I just replaced my HARD drive with a new 120 GB SSD 11 Extreme Sandisk.

    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.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated I'm very satisfied with the performance increase that disk SSD gives Windows and start itme except for having to start twice.

    Best regards

    Hi Erico,

    The SSD was visible on the Windows installation disc, but after I installed the AHCI drivers during the option to load drivers installation succeeded and starts as it should.
