Returned to SSD, HDD, Windows still thinks its SSD

My SSD (Intel 60Go) became too small to hold my system partition of Windows 8, so I found another use for this SSD and returned to the HARD drive. I transferred all SSD to HDD with Paragon Backup & Recovery 2013 free, and now the system boot to HARD drive.
But Windows 8 is somehow always think that they are running on the SSD. For example "optimize the readers" (Ex Windows Defragmenter) shows "Solid State Drive" as the media type and probably because it cannot access TRIM, functions, he is unable to defragment the disk, so it is shouting that "optimization is not available:
How to convince Windows 8, they run the HARD drive again?
I tried to remove this disk "Drives" in the Device Manager, also I deleted/all reinstalled under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" and "Storage controllers", without success.
I don't know what else to do, so I ask you for help and suggestions.
Thank you and best regards,
IKS

Hey,.

Thanks for sharing your experiences...
Well reinstall Windows is a solution, but I prefer to use more time and solve the problem without having to reinstall... Even if the relocation is the fastest path to the solution... :)
Well, I tried to reinstall/change all that tiny link to the features of disk and I always ended up dissatisfied because nothing has worked. Type of support remained as SSD...
BUT then on top of all my frustrations, I noticed that Windows Experience Index for my HARD drive is always a score of SSD, so I re-run the assessment and voila, the disc got his correct score and media type under 'Optimize the readers' was successfully set. Damn. I guess I'll finally sleep happy once more...
Kind regards

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    I also tried to download drivers intel after searching other threads, and it does not work through floppy.

    I also added the drivers toshiba XP ISO using nlite to create a disk slipstream and while xp is loading the disc, I noticed 'pilot toshiba raid' being installed. Same no result no hard drive found.

    According to the specifications on this page:

    Your laptop's Ide interface, as far as I know on the old IDE interface there is a limitation of LBA 28 bits, which means that the laptop can only manage hard disks up to 128 GB.

  • testand returns fail path in Windows 7

    Hello

    It seems that TS4.1.1 returns path fails in Windows 7 when the movie file is installed in the path of normal installation of the program, including the word in path c:\program. in the Swedish version of windows7 programs are installed in the folder instead of c:\program files\ as c:\program\ in the English version. If you ask runstate in which folder the file seq is the Swedish version, path c:\program files\ is returned. We're working around to run the sequence file in another folder, like c:\temp\.

    Anyone know if this problem is fixed in later versions of testand?

    I attach the file simple sequence to test the situation. compare results when executing the folders c:\temp or c:\program\ (c:\program\ is the default program installation folder in Windows 7 Swedish).

  • When I click and drag a window to move its location on the screen does not move properly.

    When I click and drag a window to move its location on the screen does not move properly. It leaves a "track" of windows. Whatever the problem is scroll is also affected when the page moves in waves. Why he started to do this, and if someone can offer a solution? Thank you!

    It is a common problem with how XP displays the items on your screen. When things get a bit bogged down, you'll start to see trails of the window as you drag. Unfortunately, there is no solution, but future versions of Windows do not have this problem with a new rendering of the graphics system.

  • Windows Mail thinks that this message is suspicious and has blocked

    Hello

    When I send an email to 3 of my clients, it shows windows mail thinks this is a suspicious message and blocked. It's something every normal day that trigger the alert message, no pyramid or scam scheme.

    It happens on 3 different computers I know, all using Windows Mail. How can I identify what is happening with Windows mail? The alternative is to install a different e-mail program, but I'd rather have this problem in a different way instead of patching the problem.

    If you mean that recipients see this message, it could have more to do with your server e-mail than anything else.  The first place to check would be with your ISP or whoever provides your outgoing email service. Steve Hebert - MVP Microsoft Internet Explorer
