• Restore failed HP of Win8n after reboot when restoring to new SSD on Pavilion G6 2284 cell ca

  System: HP Pavilion G6 2284 cell ca

  OS: Windows 8

  Relevant additional material: OCZ 240GB SSD Vertex 3 Max IOPS Edition (firmware 2.25)

  Steps to reproduce:

  (1) HP Pavilion G6 2284 portable ca new unboxed

  (2) used HP backup/restore software to create a backup of the OS (22 GB) factory on USB. Commpleted without error

  (3) taken from default HDD and replaced by the new OCZ Vertex 3 240 GB SSD

  Booted 4) of the USB in the restoration of HP.

  (5) restoration of HP software detected the SSD, formatted, copied the files of operating system to it, unpacked the OS files and said she needed to reboot in order to continue the restore process.

  (6) system restarts and displays the error message "Boot device not found - please install an operating system on your hard drive - (3FO)"

  I repeated several times with different options of default BIOS (disable UEFI, check the boot order, forcing the boot hard drive, etc.), the process of restoring without effect.

  If I leave the USB key in when it restores, it starts on the USB and load restore HP, stating that he found the USB as the first boot device (although it is listed after the hard drive in the order in BIOS).

  My best guesses are 1) restoration of HP software is incorrectly written statement details starting sector/UEFI/OS boot during the restoration of the reader and so when the system boots it gets a corrupt boot sector/OS start the details of the statement and so cannot find the operating system.  2) there's a hardware incompatibility with the OCZ Vertex 3 240 GB (2.25 firmware) drive that allows it to be visible in the BIOS and visible to restore Manager HP to format/copy of files, but which prevents the direct start for some reason any.

  Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  After several additional hours of troubleshooting (and 2 levels of support HP being completely clueless on the issue), I could solve the problem.  It is not related to the EHR.

  The restoration of HP software, when it is started from USB, seems to alter the UEFI devices and incorrectly referred to the boot drive during the process.  The only way to fix the problem is to enable "legacy" mode in the BIOS (which is not the default), and lower the priority of UEFI boot devices are much lower in the list (the BIOS does not allow a complete deactivation of UEFI, much to my annoyance).  If you start the restore software of HP USB stick with legacy mode enabled, the boot device designation, he writes to the hard drive is correct, and at startup, the BIOS has no trouble finding.

  This issue should occur exactly in the same way with the hard drive by default.  It is not related to the EHR.  This is a bug in the HP restore software that is not properly manage the UEFI boot, which is the default value on this laptop.

  I'm not sure if this problem will be solved by the BIOS update you suggested.  For now, since the system is now works fine, I won't upgrade the BIOS.  I'll keep an eye on its stability, however.

• Restoring my data to a new SSD with Time Machine

  I'm going to buy a new SSD hard drive, and I backed up all my data in Time Machine on an external hard drive. Is it possible to restore all my data only through Time Machine? I have a bootable USB key with El Capitan on that, I'm not worried about the operating system. Wouldn't time machine recognize my computer as a completely different machine? This treatment?

  If it is possible how I would go about it?

  Your new SSD must be in the format GUID extended journeled using disk utility. Boot into Recovery (R command).

  Install OS X and use the Time machine to restore all your data.

  

• MacBook pro 2009 with new SSD try to clean install Yosemite or TM disaster restoration.

  Hello.

  I think this is going to be a difficult discussion.

  Unibody MacBook Pro 2009. Original Apple HDD with Yosemite 10.10.5.

  Two months ago, that my HARD disk is dead.

  I installed a new SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive and through the recovery of TM all went well.

  A couple of weeks, my 'new' SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HDD started to scratch a little (I mean literally zero while reading/writing), so I thought he would die soon again. This time, I decided to buy an SSD in order to have better performance and superior durability.

  So I bought a Toshiba 248 Gb SSD. I'm not a big fan of Toshiba, but where I live, it's the SSD only I found in the store.

  I removed the old HDD, I installed the new SSD and where my nightmare starts.

  First of all, I tried with a new Installation of USB from Yosemite. I followed all the passages and the installation completed in about 9 days. Yes you read that right: 9 days. The progress bar runs for 9 DAYS.

  At the beginning I obviously interrupted the first couple of facilities when the progress bar was like "12 minutes at the end" for three or four hours, but then I read in many articles and support threads that it is quite usual installation seeks stuck for hours or days, but if you open the log console computer is always something. So I gave him his time and the third or the fourth installation I waited my NINE DAYS to be finished.

  Then when the installation ended the restarted mac of himself and is stuck at the loading screen with his beautiful Apple and the progress bar frozen at about 50%.

  I froze for about 4 or 5 hours of average.

  I found a few articles that sometimes happens, and all you have to do is to force the computer to shut down and start again. So I tried to force the shutdown by holding down the power button and after the reboot it just keeps starting with and stuck at first infinite progress bar.

  So I reboot on CMD + R to get a clue, if I got in trouble on the SSD or what. I run disk utility and found that on my SSD were about 290,000 files and many files as the Yosemite was finally installed. I tried to check the permissions, but it says less than a minute and then got stuck at halfway to complete 15 minutes, so I stopped it.

  After that I think 4 or 5 attempts to start new fresh install on my Yosemite and clean, I reset the SSD erase decided to start all over again.

  I died a little inside while doing it. Same as the erasure was so f * king quick to finish! (about 50 seconds, sonofa 'byte').

  Then I tried to not reinstall Yosemite again (the nightmare of 9 DAYS still has me) but I have tried a new way: recovery of TM.

  Just to say my original TM backup was about 340 GB and my new SSD is 248 only while it was quite clear he wasn't.

  I connect my external TM drive to another computer and I worked the ' delete all backups of * file * ' to get a smaller backup TM.

  Now, I moved a lot of things outside the TM backup and the new dimension of the TM backup is about 90 GB (I want to say that the whole folder backups.backup is about 90 GB), in fact I moved the other stuff was also inside the external Western Digital drive and is now free space Go 910 (, hence the content of the WD is just the TM backup folder this weight about 90 GB), but I still have the 'this drive doesn't have enough space to restore your system.', it's totally A LIE.

  Never mind. I accepted the idea that sometimes even computers are ashamed of themselves and begin to tell lies. I can handle. There was a holy man in the history without any sin. So, ok, no problem. I'm not upset or anything. I can get over it (mf you little liar!).

  Think of manually restore the files that I needed once I have a BONE in my new SSD, I used the same external disk to create a new backup from another computer, my Mac Mini TM. Everything went well and I got a new Mac Mini TM backup about 60 GB (it's much less than 248 GB of my new SSD).

  I reboot the Macbook again to try to restore the backup, Time Machine of Mac Mini and everything seems to work, except for:

  -progress initially said about 650 hours needed to complete the restoration ago.

  -I went to sleep and let the machine itself working together on the restoration and when I woke up this morning I found that the rest of the time was "fair" 52 hours.

  -J' was a little happy to see this, until the Rainbow rolling ball appears. Everything got stuck again. I force shutdown and then try to restore it.

  Now it works again and the remaining time is close hours 672 (and growing). I'll give it another chance. We'll see.

  Now, I have four questions to ask you:

  1. you have an idea (with the exception of a curse or a matter of black magic) WHY all this happened? And of course if there is something wrong and I can work to fix it otherwise?

  2 are there special settings to enable/disable/configuration/whatever to create works faster still to understand that it doesn't properly before discovering this NINE DAYS or 672 HOURS right now?

  3. when we agreed that something like that was acceptable? I used to be a project leader in the world of ICT and in 20 years I NEVER, I say NEVER, released a product/app/site Internet/solution that considers that an option taken 9 DAYS to install or something like that. NEVER. Do not forget that we are talking about Apple and an operating system. I think Windows is laughingly taking revenge.

  4. do you think that for me it is time to let Apple and go back WIN + PC? It's quite frustrating and I use the computer to WORK, not to play games video and this is not the kind of operativity expect after paying a little more for material, a little more for software, a little more to be part of what it is supposed to be the one that had the best choice (index not be not it kills me).

  I thank in advance for any help/tip, you can provide.

  Alberto

  This is a fairly long post. What I would say is:

  1. the next time get a hard drive from a company with a good reputation like Samsung (best SSD ever, I have several internal parts and a laptop EVO). I get them shipped.

  2. as you use the Mini, the recovery partition allows you to install a new copy of Mac OS X, and then use the Migration Wizard to move your stuff.

• Image of bootable restore Dell to a new SSD

  I have a dell latitude E5420. I want to put in a new SSD (Intel 520 drive) and make an own factory restore on this drive (not clone).

  If I create a restore factory.wim bootable image by using the Dell file backup and restore utility. I guess I can put the new SSD in laptop computer, boot from USB restore and restore the image on the new SSD.

  I'm not sure it is if I need to format the SSD drive before making the restoration of the image?

  The restore process will take care of formatting the drive.

• Cannot restore the backup of the image to the new SSD, said player is not connected

  Windows 7-64 bits, hardware upgrade of the HP DM1Z.

  I have a computer HP DM1Z. "Home Premium" Windows 7 64-bit (again, as in Feb)

  I decided to replace the current hard drive 320 GB WD with an Intel X 25 - M 80 GB SSD drive.
  Initially, I bought Acronis ' True Image ' to do the download of the OS (the computer has not much on since it's new).
  Computer problem closing occurred. A few times my attempts. Acronis has been unable to solve this problem. I cancelled the Acronis.
  Decided to call HP. I did a 'clone' on 4 DVDs via an external DVD burner.
  I swapped hard drives.
  At startup, I've indexed PF9 & got the "Recovery Manager". Keyed "Minimizes Image Recovery" to re - install the operating system. Progress was halted when a pop-up "target drive is not connected". I tried this same routine with "Recovery System", and the end result is the same.
  With "HP support", I keyed PF10 and did a diagnostic test. The new SSD worked. "HP support" indicates problem was probably the Windows 7 software.
  I had checked the Microsoft Web site, and the Intel X 25-M is compatible with Windows 7, 64 bit.
  What gives? Registry software is with the motherboard, I think. Replace large GGB to small GGB SSD hard drives seem to be no problems from what I've read. What solution can there be? What I need to re-purchase the retail of Windows 7 to replace the OEM Windows 7 to make it work? This is not good.
  would appreciate help from anyone in this case. Thank you.

• retrieve the time backup machine for new ssd internal

  I had to replace my internal HD on a 2012 end iMac, so I went to SSD.

  I had saved my first system and files in Time Machine before that.

  What is the process of a) formatted internal SSD new and b) recovering the original of external backup Time Machine?

  As I have to reseal the iMac just to make it work, I don't want to have to open it again to play with the new SSD!

  Hope that you already have a boot USB OS X in hand disc (I always have a copy must have on hand).

  Plug the USB into the USB port and Time Machine,

  by key pressing 'option' as soon as 'chime' begins.

  You can choose the selection of the boot drive.

  OR

  If your SSD does not start on her file (e.g. blank) - it should start automatically via the USB.

  (a) - Yes, using "disk utility" - in the menu bar superior, to partition the drive (GUID) first

  (b) then choose 'continue' to install the OS X - at the end, you will be asked few options - recover via Time Machine.

  After the restoration, you can run a few updates so that the system will work like the old set up.

  Most of the software should work, but somehow, some software required "activation key" again.

  Those notorious - Rosetta Stone (language). -J' had to communicate with them, uninstall the old drive first.  Microsoft Office can be too fickle.

  Make sure that OS X are the same version (you can't have 10.11 on Time Machine, try using the boot USB 10.10 disk) targeted installed OS X must be the same or more recent than the OS X version of the time Machine.  For example, if your Time machine backup contains 10.10, then you can either use drive start USB 10.10 and 10.11 for the restore process.

• 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!

• How to change the Satellite L670D-103 using new SSD 80 GB HARD drive?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L670D-103 with a 320 GB HARD drive running at 5400 RPM which is too slow for me.

  So I plan to change this factory by a new SSD HDD to increase the performance of the overall system :)

  But as the SSD are expensive, I have only a 80 GB SSD.

  I built the recovery on a USB media and I want to use it to restore my system to the new SSD (I previously did the space needed to ensure that all data can be stored on my new SSD 80 GB space; p)

  Retrieving SSD partitioning new procedure is done without error, but when copying image to restore data to freshly created the partition, one not enough space error stop the process!

  It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb).

  So, how can I restore mysystem on my new SSD?

  Thank you
  Stéphane.

  > It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb)

  To my knowledge, you have different recovery options:

  (* 1) * recovery of factory default software

  (a) recovery to out of box state
  (b) recovery without changing the HARD drive partitions
  (c) recovery of a custom size partition

  (* 2) * "erase the HARD drive.

  I think that if you choose factory default software recovery of-> recovery to out of box state then the recovery would create exactly the same size of partition on the new SSD which were available on the 320 GB HARD drive.
  I think this might be the reason why you have received this message.

  Perhaps you need to choose the 3rd option Recovery on a custom size partition

  What do you think?

• New SSDS do not mount on MBP 2012 Recovery Mode

  I replace the HD on a 2012 model 9.2 MBP with an OWC 6 G SSD. I ran a backup Time Machine on the HD 500 G original and then swapped the drive. I can't get the new SSD to appear in Recovery Mode to format it and install OS X I have tried with the original disc connected in an external box, even with the Time Machine backup drive and I tried with no externally attached at all. (Continued on the upgrade command instructions on the site of OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/articles/how-to-transfer-your-data-from-your-old-drive - to-a-new-reader) Then, I removed the SSD of MBP and attached to my Mac Mini in an external enclosure. It mounted fine and I was able to format. So I ruled out a faulty SSD. Then I restarted the MBP with original HD installed and the SSD connected via external enclosure. Run utility disc and formatted the SSD drive. Close all again and replace the SSD in the MBP. Started in Recovery Mode to install OS X and the drive does not appear.

  Currently of ideas. I rechecked all the components and all should be fully compatible.

  Ideas?

  -Scott

  Started in Recovery Mode to install OS X and the drive does not appear.

  You mean the restoration of the Internet (Command + Option + R)? Recovery mode is command + R, and since you do not have an operating system on your new SSD HD Recovery wouldn't be here.

• Free upgrade first or install new SSD first?

  Is it better to first make free update Win 7 to 10 then again clone SSD or Cloner 7 to the SSD then upgrade? If I want to do a clean install of 10 can I do this and use the installation 7 product ID number?

  You should not be cloning everything that duplicates all even possible bad sectors on the hard drive

  You create a system image in place and restore this image on the new SSD

  You can also use this image of the system if you win 10 is average to unstable to be reliable

  It's the best system image creator,

• 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.

• XPS M1530 with new SSD will not identify adapter WLAN 1395

  I just bought a new SSD 128 GB for my old workhorse XPS M1530, installed a clean VISTA Ultimate 32 bit OS since the original DVD supplied with the laptop.  Everything works except the wireless 1395 adapter.

  I know that the material of the wifi card is good, because wifi still works when I put the old 64 GB SSD back in. I use the same version of WLAN driver on the new facility.  Device Manager indicates that the adapter is installed and working properly.  Yet the computer with the new SSD does not recognize that the wireless network adapter is installed and activated.

  I use the WLAN driver and BIOS version recommended Support Dell for my service number.  These are the same versions that I have on the former SSDS.

  I'm tempted to reformat the new SSD and start all over again, but that takes a lot of time to reinstall everything. And I wouldn't waste 10 GB on the new SSD to install the recovery partition on the new SSD which lies on the former SSDS and do a restore on the new SSD.  I have more certain supplied software preinstalled on your laptop.

  Gene

  I made an another clean install of the operating system on the new SSD, and this time, I found and used the Drivers and Utilities of original disc that came with the laptop to install the DELL software system utility first.  That did the trick, because when I installed the drivers of that era, the WLAN 1395 works.

  Now I have a space wasting a 22 Gb Windows.old directory, but I am happy.  I'm going to reformat the drive in the morning then it is plugged to my laptop in an external USB SATA drive enclosure and start with a clean car and redo the OS install again, this time properly.

  It's a bit ironic that the DELL system software utility has not been showing available for my service on the support.dell.com site tag.

  Lesson learned.  I'll post tomorrow how the last OS install goes on the SSD clean and new.
