Satellite U840W - how it works with SSD and HDD drives?

American,

I have a U840W which is a beautiful piece of work. He currently heads the Win7.
It has a hybrid drive system, SSD 32 G and 500G HARD drive. Apparently the 32G acts as a cache.

I tried to install Linux Mint as a dual boot with Win7.

Cannot make it work. The installation process (Ubiquity) does not see disks or partitions.
In a file manager or the GPart-partition manager, I see the HARD drive and all partitions.

Help me to help the developers of the ubiquity of the problem of access to disks I can get a
explanation of the way in which the disk system is organized and how it works?

Any help greatly appreciated, Ian.

The LINUX community already knows your answer and has led the path to resolve, such as the forum of mint as this thread:

http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=124299

Even Microsoft Windows has trouble with setup.exe on disc SSD/HDD hybrid and the Microsoft forums are polluted with their own unverified solutions, some of which are frighteningly superstitious that authoritative to be listed here.

Ubi, Gnome and KDE are all based on the ability of Grub reliable start the player and so many different distributions don't guarantee reliability.

I don't have the problem you describe with hybrid hard drives since the installation of 11 Unbuntu.

Mint is not my first choice with the exception of a bureau of temporary replacement, since the authors are strongly focused on the Office UI, less than the largest army of coders behind Unbuntu and Fedora.

I'm not criticizing the currency of your choice, but comparing the current Unbuntu boot process could shorten your objective dissection of a startup process of OEM from a manufacturer known for securing lower level specifications.

  • HP probook 4540 s: dual boot 4540 with SSD and HDD

    Hello world

    Recently, I replaced my HDD with a SSD on my HP probook 4540 s

    Using a HARD drive enclosure, I installed the SSD on the slot of the hard drive and the HARD drive on the DVD drive SATA connector

    the two hard drives have win 7 professional 64 bit

    When I turn on the laptop, the OS on the SSD starts and I see the HARD drive as a storage drive

    Thus, from a material point of view, everything works fine

    now, I would like to use two hard drives with the ability to use win 7 times of SSD and HDD

    to boot from the HARD drive, I tried to change the boot order put the DVDrom before the hard drive, but it did not work

    any suggestion\software tool which may help?

    Thank you very much

    Giuseppe

    @Giuseppe1:

    To do this, you must choose a single installation as the default and change the BCD in this one to include starting in the installation of other.

    Installing Win7 on the internal HARD disk is the best choice because he will always be there.

    That change, download and install EasyBCD from Neosmart Technologies.  It is a tool on the menu to change the BCD.  It is safe to download and use, as I use it all the time.

    Once installed, follow these steps:

    (1) run EasyBCD

    2) click on the button Add a new entrance on the left

    (3) in the section on the right operating system, click the Windows tab, and then select the drive that contains the OTHER Windows startup

    4) click the button Add an entry

    Now when you reboot your machine, you should see a menu with two entries - one for each version of the windows OS.

    Good luck

  • (Redirected) Cannot boot from the HARD drive on dell n5010 with SSD and HARD drive installed

    I have my old dell n5010 (15R Inspiron) with SSD (Samsung EVO 840 120 G) installed on the main drive Bay and the HDD (Samsung HJJ 500 G) on the optical drive Bay.

    It is a typical way to add an SSD on such an old laptop (bought from dell.com.cn in 2011).

    My Windows 10 operating system has been installed on the SSD using Samsung Data Migration software, so the previous C drive was pointless. So I formatted and installed an operating system Ubuntu 14.04 on it, hoping the grub OSs double beginning located on the HARD disk.

    However, I find no the Dell bios boot option to boot from the HARD drive installed in my optical drive Bay. All the choices are 'Hard Drive', 'Network' and 'Diagnostic '.

    But I was definitely sure that my bios program has detected the SSD and HDD with information on the main menu of the bios.

    And the LED on the optical drive Bay was immediately once I pressed the Start button on my laptop.

    As a general rule, all things were right except for options of the bios boot.

    Is there a way I can boot from HDD (with installed Ubuntu) while remaining has my SSD on the main drive Bay? I don't want to swap their positions, because the SSD is super fast on the main drive Bay.

    I have alse won't migrate 10 Windows to the HARD drive and reinstall Ubuntu on the SSD, because I'd like my windows be loaded quickly.

    Someone at - it the same problem with me?

    Any suggestion is appreciated!

  • Satellite T135 how to enter Safe Mode and HDD Recovery if 'F8' does not work

    Hello everyone

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite T135 and it crashed recently. Since then, whenever I turn it on, startup repair is enabled automatically. But it does not fix the error.
    I tried to solve the problem with the system restore, but that no longer works. So I think I have to go through the procedure of HARD drive recovery.

    The problem is that I have a lot of data on my laptop that I must first of all safe. I wanted to do it via Safe Mode that supposedly, I should be able to enter by pressing "F8" at initialization, when the Windows logo appears. But my laptop is not responding when I press F8, but rather getting a sound alert, if I press the button for a long time.

    Apart from how to enter safe mode by pressing F8 during initialization does not work, I have a second question: Toshiba Recovery Wizard is the equivalent for the HDD recovery procedure? It is the only similar option that I could find...

    Thank you very much for your advice.

    Hello

    The recovery of HARD drive installs the image of Toshiba.
    The image is the package that contains the operating system, drivers and all the tools that have been installed on the first day of purchase; simply said; using HARD drive recovery you would set the laptop back to factory settings.

    You want to save the date before you install the operating system once more?
    Well, remove the HARD drive, put this in a USB HDD enclosure and move the file to the HARD drive to another computer.
    It would be the best way to get the file save.

  • NAS work with FCPX and external drives?

    I use a Mac Pro 2013, 3.7 Ghz Quad Core, 16 mHz Ram with 512 GB of internal storage, AMD over-pants D500. My employer also purchased a Synology DS415 + as my storage with 12 TB of HARD drive space.

    Now, I try to install FCPX and Motion 5 as my zero external because the machine has only 512 GB internal. But the problems lies in that the Synology's NAS still FCPX he sees not as my drive to zero. The NAS is connected to the network and I can access it via the NAS software but it does not appear on my desktop as an external drive even if I directly connected via USB 3.0 (A - A). I read on the website that if I connect it to the Mac via USB 3.0, it will appear as an external drive on my desk, but that does not happen. USB port on both units are USB - A (male?)

    And so my question: someone has their 2013 Pro Mac connected to a NAS for mounting on FCPX? And how do I set up mine to do what I hope? I searched the web HI & lo, nothing helped, and I have a feeling that I won't like the answer.

    Thank you in advance. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    External drives no longer appear on the default desktop.

    Finder > Preferences, select the option to display on the desktop under the general tab.

    I do not know if that will solve your problem in FCP X, but it could explain why he is not on the desktop.

    I think that FCPX will be unhappy if you try to use a disk on the network, he really needs a fast connection, USB3 should work, but I think that ethernet can be slow because it is a shared environment.

  • Lenovo G500 with SSD and HDD in ODD Bay

    Hello!

    So I have a laptop Lenovo G500 aged for 1 year with a processor i5 to 3230M, now an 8 GB (originally, it was 4 GB) of RAM and a 1 TB HARD drive. I recently bought a 250 GB Samsung SSD 840 Evo and a disk HARD caddy from here: http://hddcaddy.com/en/lenovo-ibm-hdd-caddy/646-lenovo-g500-hdd-caddy.html

    So I removed the HARD drive, put the SSD in its place, removed the STRANGE and put the HARD drive in its place. It was all nice and comforting, but that in some points the HARD drive was not seen by the system as if it was disconnected or something. This happens usually when the laptop was running, if I rebooted everything worked. I remember that in the past, I don't know, maybe in the last 4 months, I used my ODD twice and neither time was it works well.

    So my question is: can it be that my ODD SATA port is faulty, or does this problem occur because this whole switch-and-swap operation is not supported by my laptop? If this is the first I can replace this SATA port?

    Hello!

    Thanks for the reply. I just did an update of the bios, so far everything seems to work well, it still took some time (a few hours) unitill the problem occurred.

    If the problem persists I'll try the fix from microsoft that you sent, but with the 2nd solution, there is the problem that I need to reboot the system to get the bios, but so far after a reboot my laptop has always recognized the HARD drive.

  • Working with XML and button

    Hello

    How are you all. Well, I'm new to Flex. But I started to build simple applications. One of the best most problem I face in working with XML and the button. Can you please help me in this. I explain my problem:

    I have an external XML file like this:
    < menu >
    < button >
    < idnt > 0 < / idnt >
    General Health < label > < / label >
    pages of < text > general health is currently under construction < / text >
    < / button >
    < button >
    < idnt > 1 < / idnt >
    < label > mental health < / label >
    pages of < text > mental health is currently under construction < / text >
    < / button >
    < / menu >

    Now, I want to generate dynamically buttons from this XML file. And the second thing that is the most problematic is that how I code so that when I press the button marked 'General health', it will display the same text as in the XML corresponding to the tag tag "< label > General Health < / label >?
    I seriously need it. I'm really confused on this. Kindly help me.
