SSD in new ALX R4 installation and what makes the startup disk
Have just ordered a new R4 ALX. Would have preferred to order a combo HDD SSD, but Dell didn't, this combo and the largest SSD they available was 512 GB.
Thus, when the new PC arrives, I intend to install a 840 Samsung 1 TB mSATA SSD EVO (using an Icy Box 2.5 "to 3.5" HDD/SSD converter).
YouTube has a video showing how:
"Alienware Aurora ALX R4 - installation of an SSD.
So, how can I make the SSD the startup disk and the backup HARD drive?
Re-install the operating system? Can I clone on the SSD HARD drive, then change the boot order? Something else?
For any help or suggestion will be appreciated.
Problem solved - see link to post

Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.First run Memtest86 +:
It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

I can't get updates since SP2 installation and update of the Windows Update Agent.
I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I have done 3 installs clean for several days and each time I install SP2 and update the Windows Update Agent I can't get updates. When I click search for updates, it just keeps looking for hours and hours and never stops looking. I tried several solutions on the internet, including those found here. Of course, the first thing I did was run the Fixit of Windows Update tool. He could not solve any problems found. He gave the error code 0 x 80070005. I installed the SubInAcl.exe and run several different command text and a text of the batch. The batch text did nothing. The texts of order had errors of syntax and a file, he could not access. I ran the System File Checker, and it finds errors, it could not fix. I just did a clean install on this machine 6 or 8 months ago because I was going to get rid of the computer, so when I put in place I used the username user. I came across no problem at all when I installed the operating system and update everything. Since then, I decided to keep the computer, so I wanted to have it in my name. As I said, this is my 3rd try. I am willing to give. Maybe someone here can help.
I tried two clean installs and I get the same thing. Once I have installed SP2 and the new Agent update, I can't get more updates. It keeps only the search for hours without results or error messages. I tried all of the suggestions I found on the internet, but nothing works. I get always the same error code 0x80070005, when I run the Fixit of Windows Update tool. There must be a way to solve this problem. Why I was able to do a clean install of 6 or 8 months without any problems, but now I can't. It makes no sense at all. I really hope someone who knows the answer reads this.
Ralph C.
I finally got it! I tried two other proposed solutions, then I ran the System File Checker, which is no problem, then I ran Check Disk. Check disk found and repaired files in the file system of BITS among others. After that, I'm now completely up to date with Windows Update. I was ready to give up. I'm glad I did not. For anyone else having similar problems, don't give up, the answer is there.

Hello
Sorry for my ignorance but I just bought an iPhone 6 (my first) and I don't know anything about the purchase of a sim card. Do you advise me to buy a nano sim or a regular sim (my iPhone 4 has a sim card from Rogers) and what is the difference?
Whoever you are, thank you for your patience and your help.
The SIM card for the iPhone 4 is much greater. You need a SIM nano. That's the only size that fits. You get one of your carrier.

My wife has an i5 to 2.3 GHz MacBook Pro early 2011 and it worked like a slug. Ran disk utility and verified that the disk needs repair using recovery HD. What does this lead and what is the risk of losing all the data is there?
Even if it is very slow, you must make a return upwards before the race "repair disk". The risk of data loss is minimal, but do it anyway: Save and run to repair the disk.
As for what it implies - most of the time nothing more than simply sitting and waiting to do his thing.

With Skype, your location is unimportant. Calls to (or within) the United States wherever you are cost 2.3 cents / minute or part of it.
You can easily find the information yourself with a little research here:

TIME ZONE - US EAST. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest version of Skype: Windows & Mac
