SSD for boot only on 1170 HPE-9.

I just bought a 1170 HPE-9, and it came with a SSD 256 GB and a 1 to as the secondary drive. Is it possible to configure the computer to just use the SSD for boot only, and have all new program of these games, videos and large files to use the 1 TB.  Somewhere, I continue to move these files to the 1 TB drive, but some of the reasons that some programs can do, but others install automatically on the SSD (C:\), fills the SSD so fast.

Are there any suggestions or comments to avoid such as Itunes or any portal application of games to download directly on the 1 TB.  I know that before the application is downloaded it normally asks you where to install, but in many cases, is not.  I just want to put the SSD just to boot only and the necessary windows files.  Is there a setting in Windows 7 I need to change or RAID configuration or any?

Yet once, I enjoy comments and/or suggestions.

Hello

You can use Windows 7 to move several folders listed under your user ID.

C hard drive :--> users--> 'your name'---> you can then right mouse click on folders such as: my videos, my music, My Documents, my pictures, Favorites, then choose location. Then use Move to move the file and remap the location on the desired location (1 TB HDD). See the example below.

  • Try to use the System Image to migrate from Windows 7 for SSD for boot upward

    Hello

    I have a new computer Windows 7 operting.   I'm trying to migrate my OS to SSD for faster boots, etc..

    I first tried various 3rd party applications such as EaseUS Partition Master and Reflect, all futile for unknown reasons.

    Now I'm having problems using the built-in tool "Create a System Image" Windows 7.

    The Image of the system seems to be created properly and is listed in the appropriate folder.   The next step is to use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to save the ISO file, then use this ISO on the DSS file.

    Unfortunately, despite all that I've read to the contrary, the file created by windows wasn't an ISO... it saved as a VHD file.   The download tool cannot copy VHD - only ISOs.

    Microsoft technical support suggested that I have post the question.   All the patches?

    Thanks in advance!

    What happens when you boot the system repair disc?  If necessary, you will need to enter your BIOS Setup utility and make your optical drive the first boot device.

    You have created the system image includes everything: the files of your operating system, your application to the program folder and your data.  Assuming that you have already used your system for awhile and so Windows, your installed programs and files total user more than 128 GB, the image does not fit on the SSD.

    If everything except your totals of less than 128 GB user files, then a possible scenario would be to backup all your files from user to some external medium data, confirm that the backup is valid, and then delete the files from the current hard drive.  Then make an image of system of what's left (which is now less than 128 GB) and restore that image on the SSD.  You create a new user profile and then copy your files from backup data on disk 1 to and link to your user profile in the user data (see tip below).

    Another alternative, especially if you have more than 128 GB used even without your data, is to do a clean Windows 7 on SSD install, reinstall all your application files, specifying as much as possible of the facilities is located on the 1 TB drive and your profile link to the data of the user on the 1 TB drive.

    This trick of sevenforums.com can help with the problem of having windows on the SSD and your data on the disk rotation:

    If you are simply wanting to save files HARD disk space in your user folders, you might consider this below in order to access the files in your library with the actually located files where you want to place. This way you won't have to worry about the potential problems that come with mobile user folder locations.

    To do a clean install of Windows 7 on your SSD, follow the instructions here to get a file ISO of Windows 7 to the same version of Windows 7 that is preinstalled on your computer: https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/67-microsoft-windows-and-office-iso-download-tool burn the image on a DVD (Note: you can not just copy the files, use the built-in tool to burn dvd of Windows 7 or free third-party tool like ImgBurn).  Use the product key from the label on your computer (not the key retrieved by using a key finder program) to activate Windows.  See https://techingiteasy.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/how-to-activate-windows-7-oem-license-using-a-retail-disc/

    If this all sounds complicated - it is, and I haven't provided all the details - you can consider getting the help of a local independent computer repair shop (not a chain of stores).  Just make sure you get a real installation of Windows 7.

  • How to get cloned SSD for boot on Y510p

    Hello

    Recently bought a laptop Y510p and of course, I wanted to have an SSD as boot drive.

    I downloaded a software of cloning and cloned partition of Windows operating system that I intended to keep all of the original partitions intact Lenovo on the original hard drive.

    I put the original HARD drive in a caddy and replaced the DVD drive and put the SSD where was the original HARD disk.

    I tried to change the boot order in the Bios, but no matter what it just comes down to boot from the original HARD disk.

    I don't know what I have to do to make it boot from SSD, clone all partitions from the disk? I have Windows 8 discs, or anything like that, so I want to just clone the HDD of origin, as it was installed in the laptop.

    Thank you!

    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.

    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.

  • HP EliteBook 8730w: replacement of SSD for the boot drive not recognized

    I'm trying to install a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500 GB instead of the original 500 GB HDD in my Elitebook 8730w (product no. VF889PA #ABG). The 8730w has the latest BIOS (F.20) installed and that is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (fully patched).

    When it is connected to the laptop through a USB adapter, to clone the HARD disk image. the SSDS works correctly. Cloning through data Migration Samsung is reported as a success, and the image of the C:\ drive occupies approximately 153 GB. The image of the disc does not include the partition of 1 GB dedicated to HP_TOOLS, due to a known limit of the Samsung software supplied.

    When it is installed in the HARD drive Bay. the SSD is not recognized as a drive and does not appear in the list of startup options. The available boot options only shown are the DVD or a network boot.

    would be very grateful for any advice on the steps required to successfully install the Samsung SSD as boot drive.

    Hmmm.
    Honestly no, I'm not happy with this one. If it was my machine, I'd be a little concerned about whats the corner of the street. In view of the age, is not surprising really, things wear out over time, the mere fact of electronics.

    Search through everything you have posted, all photos, pdf, all the text double checking. I am absolutely puzzled as to what happened. If you 100% does not reinstall the hard disk between the posts above where no HARD drive is detected in the menu boot options for the post below that where the HARD drive is detected in the same menu. I would say that you have a problem with either, the ssd, the computer motherboard laptop or the small connector on the sata port, I think on these is integrated on the motherboard, so it seems that your advice is doubtful.
    If his works now, great... but be aware that your machine can fail at some point in the near future. And it looks like a defect of the motherboard, other things are probably waiting to fail.

    There is no reason whatsoever your laptop must not have seen this ssd at first startup. A HARD drive is a HARD disk, if its compatible sata, then it will work, no doubt. When he is not on an older machine, its probably a sign of a faulty component.

    Looking through your bios options, I recommend the following.

    On startup options, get rid of internal nic pxe boot, that will only slow your machine at startup as it will seek for a network bootable device. This is the message that you get at startup saying Media Test Failure, this page is preventable with this option disabled.
    Less built lan/wlan switching on enabled in the options of the terminal, also change. This means that if you use wifi at home for example and you decide to plug in a cable network directly to the router to speed up the connection, it will not pass if it is not defined, you will have to do it manually. I work in a large company and the number of people who have this option is unreal. They all assume when they are docked they will on the wired connection.

    Because we are here too, if you ever have problems with a flickering screen, first thing to try, is disable the ambient light sensor which is just below this option of switching. Its fine on normally, but its quite common on 8560p for this causes a flickering screen.

    Hope that helped. Good luck in what you decide to do with the machine

  • HP Pavilion HPE h8 - 1260t CTO: stuck at the screen with the words "Press ESC for Boot Menu" on the bottom

    I unplugged the graphics card to clean dust. After that I connected everything again, he stuck to the blue screen with the words "Press ESC for Boot Menu" on the bottom. If I press ESC at the beginning, it will go to a black screen and it will show the basic information of the computer (information about the processor and memory). It also show this black screen, "Press ESC for Boot Menu" on the bottom and it will show "Start menu" in the lower right corner. If I press F8 at the beginning, it's going to be the same black screen, but it does not "Start menu" show in the lower right. If I press F10 at the beginning, it will go to the same black screen, and it will show "setup" in the lower right. Can someone help me solve this problem? And thank you very much!

  • HP ENVY 15-k009ne: replacement of SSD for ENVY 15-k009ne

    Hey there everyone.

    I would like to know if it is possible to replace the hard drive installed SSD (8 GB) on my Hp envy 15-k009ne. The problem is that he is very much in quality and appear to be limited to the default files of hp. I have a few questions:

    1. is it possible to replace? If not, is it possible to replace the other hard drive (1 TB, 5400 RPM)?

    2. What size (actual size and capacity, I mean) or number/model should I buy?

    Thank you.

    PS sorry if this is a recurring question. I must be sure before that I could buy another SSD drive which is quite expensive!

    The specifications of your laptop do not indicate that you have an SSD. You may have a hybrid drive that has a cache of flash 8 GB built-in player for faster access, but this isn't a separate volume that holds its own files, just a different part of the reader. HP sold never, to my knowledge, laptops with an 8 GB SSD. You probably also a HP recovery partition on your hard drive. According to the specifications, the hard drive only your machine is a 1 to 5400 RPM mechanical hard drive standard.

    See p. 66 of the manual here:

    Manual

    Unfortunately, access to the hard drive Bay is very difficult and forbidden to an end user. In other words, it will jeopardize the warranty. If you are past the warranty and want to remedy let us know. You can replace the mechanical drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD and your laptop will be much faster if you do. There is also a slot of the WSSD m2 on the laptop, to complicate things more, but use it to add a SSD and boot of it is even more difficult. Have any kind of SSD in laptop computer that is not the boot drive make not much sense. However, if you want to explore the option of WSSD m2 we are here to help.

  • New SSD UEFI boot [U430 touch]

    Hi all

    My Lenovo U430 touch came with a Samsung 128 GB SSD.

    As it became a bit on the small side, I decided to replace it with a Samsung EVO 250 GB SSD.

    My first thought was to clone the old SSD and then resize partitions later. I quickly ran into trouble, the cloning has not worked. So I decided to start from scratch. So, I installed the new SSD and installed a Windows Pro 8.1 installation naked.

    Although everythings works one thing is still bugging me.

    For the new Samsung SSD to be bootable, I must:

    -Disable secure boot

    -Allow the start of the legacy

    Why is this?

    I thought about all the necessary codes were a BIOS / OS thing?

    * This was done a few months ago, it came just once again that I upgraded my BIOS and the laptop don't boot *.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestion or help

    well done secure boot part of the key of Windows 8/8.1 that is embedded in the bios and check the boot image, so if you install windows 8/8.1 pro or normal CD it will give the error box saying non-secure OS detected which means that it rejected your copy unaudited operating system which is not verified in secure boot so that the why it must be turned off.

    Reason 2: for UEFI only works if you have a bootable UEFI your ona windows USB key copy, so it can use UEFI and GPT instead of MBR since MBR mode only works in legacy mode and no UEFI, for uefi to work you gota difficulty one copy USB windows 8/8.1 with rufus and select UEFI & TPG box and then hit create so it will iso copy USB as a device of UEFI boot so it can use the UEFI

  • 750 - 177C envy: addition of Samsung SSD for envy 750-177C

    I just bought a HP Envy 750-177c. I have it operational and it works very well. I had installed a Samsung 850 EVO SSD in my old computer and now want to add to it. I have an external cloning device that I can plug it into the computer and launch the software from Samsung to clone the HD HP. Once this is done, I will be able to add the SSD to the drive Bay and make the boot drive. I did all these steps with my old computer, so I think that it will be substantially the same with the RESUME. I wonder if there is any change in the BIOS, that I should do to get the best performance from the drive. I also heard AHCI. Is selectable via the BIOS with Windows 10, or do I have to make some changes by Reg Edit? I need to download a driver AHCI? Is this useful?

    Thanks for the tips.

    Robb

    Hi @RobbL!

    When it comes to SSD, I suggest you to activate the AHCI because it often improves performance when it comes to SSDS (and not only - if you are running an SSD and a HARD disk HARD drive will get some push), and it offers a few additional features like connection hot records.

    You can activate it by following these steps:

    * Let the connected existing boot drive.
    * Go to MSCONFIG and set the PC to boot in safe mode.
    * Power cycle your PC all the way to the top in safe mode then power down in safe mode.
    * Turn on and boot into the BIOS and enable the AHCI and disable secure boot. Save the changes.
    * Restart your PC. If OK at this stage then return to MSCONFIG and uncheck start safe mode and save the changes.
    * Turn on your PC and if OK then power off.
    * Connect the new SSD and power upward.
    * Use the cloning software to clone the old disk on the new SSD.
    * Switch off the PC. Disconnect the old drive and plug the new SSD in this SATA port.
    * Lights up and you should be good to go.

    Regarding the drivers, you can take a look at this article from HP on the SSD:

    Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

  • ThinkPad T410 boots only if the power supply is plugged

    Hello

    I have a really strange bug. My thinkpad T410 (2537-UQF) with an OCZ Vertex 3 SSD boots only if the power supply is connected. If I have a full battery, and try to boot without the power I get a blue screen after about 60 seconds on the screen where the windows logo appears. I have Windows 7 installed fresh a few days ago.

    I think its possible, I've done a few failure with drivers. The power management ThinkPad always stops working after startup. So I deleted the program using the feature "msconfig".

    I'm not really sure what I can do about it. Any idea?

    Thanks for any answers in advance & regards

    Rain

    OK I solved the problem:

    The workaround is to set to battery power settings in the BIOS to auto. If the power in the Bios settings are on maximum battery life, the system does not start if you use the SSD OCZ Vertex 3.

    Hope this helps everyone who has the same problem. I need 4 days to understand this.

  • SSD for my Aspire V Nitro 15 VN7 - 571 G-72UZ

    I can add a SSD for my Aspire V Nitro 15 VN7 - 571 G-72UZ? It's super slow...

    Absolutely Yes.

    Update to the SSD HARD drive is a good way to improve your PC. My suggestion is to only install the OS on the SSD if the HARD drive still works. Then use the HARD drive as secondary storage. This would save space on the SSD so you won't need to buy SSDS with capacity. I don't know what your operating system, but normally a 120 GB SSD is sufficient for the OS. And you can install some favorite programs if there is a lot of space left after the installation of the operating system.

    Clean install and cloning two works, yet if you want to keep all the current personal settings, cloning is the best choice. You can learn more about transfer of HARD OS to SSD drive here. Note that after cloning or a clean installation, you will need to remove the old HDD or change the boot settings in the BIOS to check if the operating system starts. If everything is OK, reformat the partition to the OS on the HARD drive in Windows PE mode (you cannot format under Windows environment).

    Kind regards.

  • Adding an SSD for Acer Aspire VN7 - 591G - 70RT (need help)

    Hello

    I have an addition an Acer Aspire VN7-591 G-70RT with a slow 5400 RPM 1 TB WD Blue that creates a bottleneck in my laptop.

    I checked on Crucial to see if there are compatible SSD for my laptop which recommended:

    MX200 crucial m2 Type 2280 (Single Sided) 250 GB internal SSD

    I was wondering, do anyone know if this information is correct? I was having mixed information online, 250 GB wouldn't cut my storage needs, if I could only get a 2.5 SSD "so my intention is to have an SSD 250 installed and my 1 TB HARD drive.

    Also, if the SSD was not the main drive would I still see the benefits of installing games who him? As in would be the existing WD blue always be causing a bottleneck?

    Any help with this would be appreciated!

    I have the device works now, I installed the MX200 Crucial m2 250G without any problem. Here's how.

    WEAR AN ANTI STATIC BAND:

    Step 1) remove all the screws on the underside of the laptop

    Step 2) use spudger or credit GENTLY lift a gap between the keyboard and the base, then use the credit card to slide slowly into the space to jump open clips, NOT FORCE.

    Step 3) (OPTIONAL) remove the keyboard connectors by moving clip and gently remove the cable from the Jack. However the HARD drive slipped in for me without necessary to detach.

    Step 4) unplug original WD HDD blue reversing the clip and disconnect the cable

    Step 5) close laptop together and boot with Windows 10 USB install

    Step 6) install windows on new SSD (for me windows automatically activated via the BIOS/UEFI) if it doesn't happen for you, simply re-attatch the original HARD disk.

    Step 7) if the activation is successful, again set HARD drive and original format. I have kept all the original ACER RECOVERY and Partitions (Healthy) in case I need to restore factory default, but formatted primary partition.

  • Organize my SSD for first installation / After Effects, your opinions between Mushkin / Samsung PRO 850... ?

    Thank you for taking the time,

    I have i7-5960 x arrives in the mail, it is a huge upgrade for me to sage of the CPU, and I intend to install it on the motherboard ASRock Extreme 4 x 99.

    I have installed ram 64 GB with mono-GPU (Evga overclocked 980Ti) - I also ordered a bolt of lightning ASRock extension adapter to install in one of the PPI.

    with internal Samsung PRO pci 512 m2 will be installed (and hopefully also works!) for my OS/PROGRAMS;

    Now in the light of the information (please do not hesitate to give a few tips if you think that something's going South) above

    I have the options of 3 disks Samsung Pro 850 SSD (1 to) each

    and also Mushkin reactor 1 TB drives coming from another system.

    Now because m2 is expected to be only to win 10/programs installation, I thought I had 3 separate SSD for media (media that I capture) - Render (output) and the Disk Cache

    now I know PRO Samsung SSD are preferred for editing configurations 4 k video, but I also want to save money to change my monitor in the near future, so I want to return

    some of the Samsung SSD if possible.

    I want to ask if I wanted on Raid 0 to increase the speed of 1.5 x times. should I do for media drive, or make it output drive or Cache?

    what player in terms of managing files in Adobe Premiere and AE would benefit more and be more safe if a failure at the top of my head, I think there should be files that I can lose a days work if hds Raid goes down?

    I thought I can keep records of 1 TB of reactor of 2xMushkin in RAID 0 for this player that you would suggest.

    and perhaps just one Samsung drives for others. I'd really love to hear your comments; Even now, I'm sitting on a certain readers, but I want to save money in the long run since Sammy readers are quite expensive.

    page Tweakers is a starting point for the advice, but its general advice that may not match your specific needs. some of the information there was written for 7200 rpm disks.

    hackers page says that its important to separate the OS/applications of the media player, so that the windows of standard tasks done constantly in the background is not interrupt reads/writes on the media player when editing. He goes on to say that disk operating system/applications doesn't have to be anything other than an ssd sata. the samsung 950 pro m2 will be only windows boot a bit faster and a little faster, has nothing else once they are open and running of programs.

    scratch disk has several settings for the captured media and rendering of previews. Some people use none and so their installation program does not need a disk separate cache / scratch for first, and they can leave their cache on the disk for the OS/applications. for AE, it will depend on if you have the disk cache. If you are interested in a cache drive, which could be shared with first rendered preview and scratch your files.

    'media' on the page of tinkerers and forums here, almost always refers to camera video files, not video files captured through a map of IO with the first or any other software. If you capture images with a map of IO, there can you want to have a dedicated ssd to it, to make sure that nothing interferes with the disk writes.

    the media cache database files are as creating files for indexing creates to help speed up the playback of files while working with them first. media cache is not the same as zero/capture/preview makes. Bill (forum member) did a lot of tests with disk configurations and also tested leaving media on a sata ssd cache used as disk operating system/applications. He concluded that it makes no difference to performance. so no, there is no need to worry about raid for the first cache files. If you want to use the samsung 950 pro for OS/apps, you can also leave your cache about it. You can even have enough space to use the 950 pro for the cache drive AE and rendered preview files creation too.

    all this is based on the media and what will be done in the timeline, such as screenshots, multi-cam, or preview files. the samsung 950 pro is fast enough to do anything, as long as it fits on the disc. the CT 1 950 pro releasing will see even more people with a configuration to a single disk for everything. other people will be fine with only two ssd sata, one for the OS/apps/cache and other media projects. Some will have more ssd sata or ssd pcie for increasing the speed or the ability to adapt to their specific needs.
