• How can I change the player assigned to the SSD for a SATA instead of the SCSI drive?

  Original title: SCSI instead of SATA

  I built a PC with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.  My C: drive is a Samsung 840 Pro SSD.  The system never worked properly and I discovered that the SSD which is a SATA 3 drive in Device Manager is configured as a SCSI disk.  Someone knows how to change the driver assigned to the SSD for a SATA instead of the SCSI driver?

  Hello Uriel,

  Thank you for your response.

  SATA controllers will normally appear as "SCSI" controllers in windows. It's normal and nothing to worry about. Often the SATA controllers will also be able to run in IDE mode and then they present themselves as IDE controllers, but it is unlikely that they will be able to operate optimally, as the IDE interface is missing some features of SATA. So even if you do not have the ability to set the cache in the Device Manager, a SATA controller is running in mode SATA should work just fine.

  The IDE bus is managed by the controller SATA3, and if this control is set in the BIOS to "IDE" somehow it seems related to the operating system as a SCSI device.  By setting this entry in the BIOS to "RAID/IDE" IDE devices get properly detected.

  This can also occur if you change the BIOS settings for the SATA ports of 'IDE' to 'AHCI' after installing Windows 7.

  I hope this information helps.

  Thank you

• HP ENVY 15 t-j100 Quad Edition: replace the motherboard for HP ENVY 15 t-j100 Quad Edition CTO Notebook PC

  HI guys,.

  I have "HP ENVY 15 t-j100 Quad Edition CTO Notebook PC"

  Serial number: (deleted content)

  Product number: E1P04AAR

  Bought a laptp renovated off eBay from someone with thousands of positive feedbacks. It worked great for 6-7 months and then one morning it has not started up. I tried everything, called Hong Kong HP support and even bring to the service center, but was not able to get it fixed because this model was never launched in Hong Kong...

  I tried calling HP we support and they would fix it for $ 300 + and that too, I send this laptop in the USA to someone I know and then HP will come from there. Is not possible.

  So now what I'm trying to do is to look for the replacement of the motherboard, this is what im says does not work. I searched and found these links - I need to know if it is OK for my model?

  http://www.eBay.com/Sch/i.html?_odkw=HP+envy+motherboard&LH_PrefLoc=1&_udlo=49&_mPrRngCbx=1&LH_FS=1&...

  It will be a great help if you guys allow me to know which of them is compatible with the model above.

  Thank you!!

  Hello

  It's a CTO machine therefore normally only available in the United States and perhaps the Canada. Please use a portion for PC cards from the following link:

  Again, it is a machine CTO, you should check its parts before you buy any replacement.

• Laptop HP ENVY 15 t-k000 CTO: add additional SSD for HP ENVY 15 t-k000 CTO Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)

  Hello.

  I have my laptop new HP ENVY 15 t-k000 CTO Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) yesterday itself. He already have writer BRD. Can I replace my BRD burner with extra HD SSD? If yes what is the procedure for that?

  You can, but you shouldn't. The port for the optical drive is a SATA-I have the interface. Slower than the port for HDD/SSD. So if you want to just add storage put a regular mechanical training in an optical drive adapter. Also any drive in the optical drive adapter will not be bootable. This will help you:

• Add the SSD for HP Pavilion desktop computer

  Hello

  I would like to add an SSD for my HP Pavilion 500-035ed (office). I do not want to replace the existing drive, I would add a second drive.

  I have already noticed a free sata connection and a free power cable, but I didn't notice a physical position for the support and the screws etc...

  Does anyone know if there is a manual that describes the physical position for a 2nd drive in HP Pavilion 500-035ed (office)?

  Thanks in advance,

  S.J. Westra

  Hello

  Look at the picture below and see if your model is configured for one SSD installation.

  

  I see that your particular model is native/sold to the Netherlands.  There is a forum member that frequents this forum who lives in the Netherlands. Hmmmm that's a good guy!

• ENVY of HP dv6-7246us: SSD for HP ENVY dv6-7246us

  Hello

  I think about upgrading my dv6-7246us HP ENVY of SSD hard drive and would like to know if the below listed SSD will work. The current HARD disk is very slow and takes forever to start up/wake up the computer.

  Also, I would like to know the detailed steps to configure the SSD to work with HP ENVY dv6-7246us.

  The plan is to replace the current with below listed SSD HARD disc.

  Any help and guidance is much appreciated.

  Lol when this laptop was sold solid state drivers were exotic things and one concert 160 cost of a King's ransom. It was the largest offered HP, not a hard limit. They are more reasonably priced now. The best consumer SSD is a Samsung 850 Evo and I would at least get a concert from 480 to 512.

  But a lot of good ones out there:

• Attach the SSD for Pavilion p6 2371ea desktop PC

  I replaced the HDD Seagate pre-installed with a Crucial SSD (Seagate be used elsewhere).

  I have attached the support provided by Crucial 2.5 SSD ", but was surprised to find there is no any size available spare disk Bay, unless I had to remove the DVD drive, I do not want to make.

  Does HP, or nobody knows, an adapter that attach the SSD to the HP chassis where was the old HDD?

  Basically HARD drive is just screwed to the Bay with no real disk mechanism metal frame at all.

  Thank you

  This is a gap in your Crucial 2.5 "to 3.5" support

  (what you have will not work without those who back of tapped holes).

  IF you are a DIY manufacturer, you could remove the SSD and drill / put on the missing holes of the support!

  Several 2.5 "to 3.5" media adapters have background discussions - for this type of vertical mounting.

  Your case used the background threads of 3.5 "hard drives - just need an adapter that reflects that.

  ---

  UK suppliers for a hook, you need to check with your local computer retail stores.

  I ordered mine from China (Hong Kong) and waited for 2 weeks.

  PHOTOS of the HP support are below - several suppliers on eBay,

  LOOK for the metric compared to its use of threading!

• Hard drive not detected after adding 2nd mSATA SSD for HP Envy 14 1002tx

  Hello

  I'm having a problem when adding an extra mSATA SSD for my HP Envy 1002tx model.

  The laptop comes with a 500 GB HARD drive and I see that there is a 2.5 "mSATA SSD slot under the HARD drive, so I bought the same type of SSD and installed it but when I turn on the laptop, it does not introduce yourself. I don't know why?

  I want to have an SSD for boot up the laptop and HARD drive to store animals.

  If anyone knows if there is any software I have to install in order for the laptop to recognize the SSD?

  OR

  Is - this material is defective?

  Thank you in advance!

  Remove the hard drive and try to start only with the mSATA SSD.

  Did this and it showed "No. Bootable Device Insert boot disk and press any key"

  I'm really sorry, I could not find this before, but the slot under the hard drive is not compatible with the mSATA disks. It's for WWAN modules! Your laptop is not like 4 I thought, but Envy 14 equipped with the first generation of Intel processors. Envy 14-Sandy Bridge 2000 series could be BIOS modded to make the miniPCI-e interface works with the mSATA disks but Envy 14-1000 series is not possible to change.

  Edit: 2.5 "drive 256GB solid state drive is listed as compatible.

• HP Envy 15 J 048 tx: mSATA SSD for HP Envy 15 J 048 tx

  Hello!

  I have a HP Envy 15 J048-tx. I want to add an mSATA SSD on my PC and be able to boot from it all by using the HARD drive as internal storage device only. The goal is to make the system run faster (overall and games).

  I don't want to change the HARD drive as more large SSD storage capacity are quite expensive and adding an mSATA as disk startup seems to be a cheaper alternative. Current storage capacity of the PC is 1 TB and a 1 TB SSD will fix me by about 34 000 INR (which is a lot), while adding a 250 GB mSATA is about 7-8 000 INR and 500 GB is 12-13 000 INR. Already, I have a lot of external hard drives and do not want to reduce the storage capacity of integrated system, because that would be to buy more external hard drives.

  The PC came with Windows 8. Other details are

  1. Motherboard: Intel HM87 (revision of Southbridge - C2), 1963 HP (U3E1)
  2. BIOS: F.65
  3. Intel Core i7 4700MQ
  4. Storage: SATA-II 3.0 Gb/s
  5. RAM: 16 GB DDR3

  The product manual indicates this (pg 5 or pdf pg 13): Support for SSD drive 24-GB mSATA (not available on computer models with memory system 16834 - or 12288 MB)

  Contact HP support on twitter and got this response from there : supports 24GO mSATA (not available on models with 16834-MB system memory or 12288 MB) this should work, but the HP recovery media may not work to install, it may fail, the portion of due to the small size of disk partitioning.

  There seems to be an empty slot for the mSATA, but I can't remove the lid more as I don't have the tools for the same. (pictures attached)

  This post on the HP Support says that - the mSATA cannot be used for the operating system and that it is for the acceleration of a regular mechanical hard drive.

  Then there was this post for HP envy 15-j003tx touchsmart which mentions that it is possible to do it with a link on Laptopmag article for the same thing that got me a little confused.

  I also checked with my digital discount and the PC is not listed in the list of compatible devices. However, after going through the comments, I found there were people with any queries similar to me (but for different computers HP) and found this disc , which seems to be compatible. I thought I'd go with 128 GB one but don't know not then sought more. Then I scanned the PC using crucial.com and found these discs to be compatible too (250 GB & 500 GB).

  My questions:

  1. My PC is compatible with most mSATA SSD storage size?
  2. If so, that we go? 500 GB we have any extra advantage or a 256 GB disc will solve the purpose?
  3. The steps mentioned in the article of laptopmag need any changes?

  Images of the system after the opening of the back cover (1 & 2):

  

  

  You can add something big, but for 24 concerts for acceleration purposes are sufficient. If you can't find a 24 concert, you can use a 32. Any more than that would be wasted for pure acceleration. The accelerator contains the contents of the memory for a quick recovery from his sleep and also holds start-up files and then the .exe files for the programs that you frequently open like saying the browser or email.

  You can use a larger disk, repeat a 64 or 128 and let the Intel Rapid Storage create say a 30 GB partition for acceleration. The partition of the accelerator is not ntfs, or anything else Windows can be used as a storage device. You can then use the rest of the disc as a storage called disk formatted FAT32 or ntfs. If you do something like Photoshop or video editing it would give you a place to put work files that could be accessed and processed very quickly. But you can not use this partition as a startup or a Windows partition and it would take much diligence to prevent fill.

  If you decide to take the post of reader of acceleration from the establishment requires a configuration that is not totally intuitive.

• Upgrade to SSD for HP ENVY 15 t-k000

  I'm looking to upgrade the standard hard drive Toshiba MQ01ABD100 with a Samsung 840 Evo 1 TB (1 TB 5400 rpm). When you watch videos to see how to replace, (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04330942 video shows that the hard drive is connected to the motherboard with a connector zif to adapter sata.) My question is can I unplug the old hard drive adapter and plug it into my ssd for sata 3 speed or I have to do something else being the standard disc sata hard 2. What choices do I have if I do something else?

  Hello

  SATA III is backward compatible with SATA II. I think that your machine uses SATA III. You can check yourself by using the following small program:

  (Check out, to the title of the disk controller, SATA III is 6 GB/s)

• Want to 15 t Touch: question M.2 SSD for HP Envy 15 t Touch (model 15 t-ae100)

  I ordered the HP Envy 15 t Touch (model 15 t-ae100) with the i7 processors and 4 GB of memory graphic discreet. The Maintenance and Service Guide accurate that there is a slot available for one SSD m2.  From what I can tell, it's a SATA 3 (not mSATA or PCIe) slot that will be a 2280 SSD card.  Three questions:

  1. where did the m2 slot located on the motherboard?  Adjacent to the wireless network adapter?

  2. is there a screw included on the motherboard for the SSD m2 card?

  3. any compatibility likely questions if I get the EVO of 850 Samsung 500 GB m2 (MZ-N5E500BW)?

  Thank you very much

  Tom

  Hello @space_thread,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

  I stumbled upon your post on the SSD question and wanted to help!

  The m2 slot seems to be located next to the memory Modules.  There is a Phillips PM2.0x3.50 screw that secures the SSD to the system board.  Your product supports the following SSD:

  SSD (m2) drive

  256 GB - 812708-001

  128 GB, 2280 M2 - 829985-001

  128 GB (Best Buy SKUs) - 820547-001

  Therefore the 500 GB m2 will be not compatible.  I hope this helps.

• SSD for HP Envy dv4 5312tx

  Hello

  can I add an SSD for my hp dv4 5312tx envy?

  that one is recommended? and how do I restore my 8.1 existing windows to new SSD?

  Kind regards

  Andy

  Yes you can. Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See page 38. The best SSD buy is a Samsung 840 Evo like this:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=9SIA29P1EC5222&cm_re=samsung_840_evo_ssd-_-20-147-248-_-product

  I'm having a hard time finding information about the model you posted. Are you sure you typed it correctly? If you had Windows 8 initially I can link you to an OEM restore disk image. You can also clone the existing overhead for the SSD drive, but you should get a pretty good SSD size to make. You can also use the HP revovery DVD made from the HP Recovery Manager or you can rstore from a backup of Windows System.

• How to enable the AHCI for HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k015dx Sleekbook

  Hello

  I upgraded my hard drive to an SSD and it's done. Laptop works very well.  The Samsung SSD software installed and it says that I need to enable AHCI to get the SSD running at full capacity.

  I searched the BIOS and don't see anywhere to change that.  I then went to the Device Manager in Windows 8.1and I don't see any ATA/SATA controller.  All I see is a RAID controller. RAID controller in a laptop?

  Can someone tell me how to activate the AHCI?

  Thank you.

  

  Hello:

  Because your laptop is a portable consumer there is no way to change the BIOS to AHCI setting.

  The BIOS is set by default for RAID on your model series because some models come with one of these drives covering with a SSD and for a technical reason, that those who must be configured in RAID 0 mode so that Setup work right.

  It is my understanding that if you install the latest driver Intel RST, which is supposed to support TRIM SSD starting with the Intel 7 series chipset, and yours has series 8, so he must have full support for one SSD usage even in RAID mode.

• How to install the SSD for Inspiron 14 3452?

  Hello - I think I'm over my head here. I just bought the laptop 3452 Inspiron 14 model with 32GB of HDD MEM. I opened the back of the box, thinking it would be relatively easy to install a SOLID-STATE drive. However, I see is an empty slot for the HARD disk with no pins for the SSD to enter. Don't know if there is anything else I need to open? I could not find instructional videos and am afraid to do great thing with this. Please help, of course I am a novice when it comes to these things. I already used a SSD drive as external storage solution, but wanted to install this time around within the laptop.

  Thank you in advance!

  I am amazed how little information there is on the web about this: I bought this machine for the use of the lamp from my laptop main goes through a process of repair.

  I saw this on the black that deals Friday for 160 taxes included and made the big jump... I thought: I will modernize the HARD drive with a 250 GB drive I have lying around and I bump the ram to 4 GB.

  To my surprise:

  There are 1... Yes a SINGLE SLOT of RAM. and there is an opening for the HARD drive but no cable. After further review, I came to the conclusion that it is indeed not possible or viable to improve the storage on this machine. Yes, I stripped the computer down to his mother, and it's like they took the entrails of a 10 windows Tablet and put them on a laptop cover.

  So, I had a few spare parts lying around and I got a 8 GB SO DIMM that I decided to try:

  Worse: the bios bump the RAM up to 4 GB as his as he goes.

  Best screenplay: the bios will recognize 8 gb.

  To my surprise it worked with the set of 8 gb... it is a great improvement, but not stellar.

  Here is something that you can do to make this laptop can be used:

  1 - get a 4 GB or 8 GB SO DIMM, (go with 8 If you don't care guarantee, those who are for losers anyway)

  2. - are subject to the creator of windows media (internet) and install a windows own 10. too much bloatware installed on this humble machine.

  3 - buy a card SD 64 and install apps in there.

  and there you go here! a laptop USD 160 with an upgrade of the 30 dollar DIMMs and one card 64 GB sd to work its magic.

  Hope this helps

  Best regards!
