• Desktop HP Envy 700-305no: SSD Installation Guide

  Hello

  The pc comes with a hard drive hybrid with 16 GB of cache Express, and some say, that I am therefore not able to install the SSD.

  The wish for SSD comes from the coming Win 10 which I would install on SSD alongside the most used applications either Office and others.

  I've been in contact with HP, but they seem unable to specify the How - to's question. Strange when you know that they sell these PCs for a living.

  As I'm fairly new to SSD, I would warmly welcome a guide step by step for the zero on the SSD installation and new operating system on this particular machine.

  Must also have a list of would be nice (cables, rack...) as well as a description of the location where on the motherboard, the drive must be connected.

  Finally, any information may be necessary - I read somewhere that you need to disable the original hard drive to install the SSD, and somewhere else that the boot sequence should be changed. Others again, said that the SSD will be automatically recognized, and some say I have to get the pc to install the SSD.

  All of these statements leave me a little confused and with a lot more questions, e.g. what will happen with the old Win 8.1 on the C drive, if I install a Win 10 on SSD?

  Wow - it's a lot to ask, but I hope someone is able to help me, and I send you all to thank you in advance

  Hello

  There is a lot of confusion and frustration with the help of technology.  These two words are very common on many forums.

  I suggest you Google "SSD Installation Guide" and you should find a lot of general literature.

  Installation of a 2.5 SSD "will require a special mounting for your PC kit...  HP should have what you need. Please read this thread.

  Frankly, you won't earn as much in performance using a SSD verses your existing configuration.

• M83 2.5 inch SSD installation

  ATTENTION: This is my first endeavor material addition Introduction experimental set-up in Introduction to the laboratory of engineering computer science and make a cable crossed in Introduction to networking laboratory.

  Computer type: 10:00

  I am trying to install a secondary drive. It is an essential M550 2.5 inch SSD. I'm looking inside the box for the second disc, I see (1) power cord with two plugs and (2) a cord with a plug of SATA data transfer.

  (1) a CAP is currently hung in the main HARD drive. The other is not plugged, but use very close to the second drive Bay which is - I guess - is available for the secondary drive.

  (2) the CAP is currently hanging in the main HARD drive.

  Therefore, I am confused. I'm blind and lack a second plug for the SATA cord to go to the SSD data transfer? Data transfer on the power supply cord is like a cable POE? Do I need to buy a cable to connect to a place for the SSD? All the guides basically say, ' insert the disc, disk, put on the bevel, put the cover, model in turn computer connects, launch the installation of the firmware through windows, "which is not useful when it seems that I'm missing a data transfer cable.

  Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

• Pavilion dm4 1006tu: SSD installation on dm4 1006tu

  Hello
  I want to install the SSD drive on my laptop (pavilion dm4 1006 YOU.)
  Before installing, I want to confirm by experts which makes my system configuration supports the SSDS?
  I heard that SSDS have backward compatibility with legacy systems.
  And my HARD drive is 5 years old, the reason why I want to replace it with SSDS.

  Please fix this, so I could move further with the installation of the solid state drive.
  Thank you

  No Yes No problem. Your portable computer hardware will fully support an SSD. Is the SATA-II speed, but a SSD SATA-III works perfectly.

  Your hard drive is a size of 320 gig so I recommend a 500 GB SSD which make it easy to clone (copy) from the old drive to the SSD drive or you can use the HP recovery discs. You can install a smaller if budget is a constraint.

  It is a good SSD to buy it:

  Hey @CJBr,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I would like to help you today to resolve the error 2147467259 installation when you install your Deskjet 2050 on your Windows computer. Just so you know that this seems to not be a problem with SSD for Windows.

  I'll provide you with a solution of @chburnham .  I suggest this fix but do not guarantee that it will work because you will need to go into your registry and modify some files. Only run the fix if you feel comfortable with editing your registry files.

  I recommend you back up your registry before you edit the registry files:

• Tecra R840 mSata SSD installation in module 3G position

  Hello
  I have a Tecra R840-110 model, there is also a 3 G module inside, I would install the mSata SSD pcie slot.
  Is possible to use the mSata SSD instead of module 3 G pcie slot?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  I think that something like this is not possible. Card mother ports are not a kind of flexible ports.
  In the past, that Toshiba gave the second HARD drive, upgrade instead of the optical drive using special adapter.

• Portege R700 - SSD installation: a succesfull and the other failed

  For what it's worth I just short wants to share my learnings SSD:

  1. I bought a Newton GTX 500 GB Corsair for my R700 (i5, W7). Looked to work ok after normal cloning, but often the PC froze and I couldn't restart it. Only way to continue was to force its rotation down with the power button. I've always had this message when starting:

  + PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable for. +
  + PXE - M0F: exit Intel Boot Agent. +
  + Insert system disk in drive. +
  + Press any key when ready... +.

  Only way to go was to force down once again and then the Pc may start and open windows. I've updated all the drivers I could think of-including Intel - but the problem persisted. Please note that this happened at the time with no systematic behavior, at least what I could understand.

  2. I got cold feet for this behavior and I bought a new R930, exchanged relative small with a bigger Samsun 840 Pro 500 GB SSD HARD drive. No problem, works very quickly and smoothly!

  3. I can now reinstall Windows 7 on the older R700 with the Corsair SSD - and now this machine works without any of the oldest problems, but I Don t understand.

  Any of you have seen something similar?
  / Anders

  > Anyone of you seen something similar?

  Of course. PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable error is displayed because the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN.
  Usually, this happens because of faulty HARD drive.

  > 2. I got cold feet for this behavior and I bought a new R930, exchanged relative small with a bigger Samsun 840 Pro 500 GB SSD HARD drive. No problem, works very quickly and smoothly!

  I n t have this laptop Portege but I ve bought the same shape of my laptop Tecra SSD drive.
  After cloning, the data on the drive to SSD drive using the software, which was part of the SSD HARD drive package, start the laptop much more quickly. I m very satisfied.

• Star Wars 15-an002ns: SSD installation socket m2

  Hello

  Recently I bought HP Star Wars Special Edition laptop for laptop - 15-an002n, which comes with 1 TB of HDD. I think it is too slow for the overall power of the rest of the components, and I intend to install a SSD for the OS. Consulted the manual, I see that the laptop has a blank m2 socket and some versions include an SSD there:

  M.2 SATA-3 (NGFF):
  ● SSD 256 GB, 2280, M.2, SATA-3, TLC

  I installed some other SATA III SSD, but never a type m2. My questions are:

  1 are there compatible with lower capacity models? I want to just install the OS here, so it would be enough with M.2 128 GB SSD.

  2 how the BIOS will recognize the new drive as primary drive? I need to change the settings?

  3. I alter anything else in the computer. This update will void the warranty?

  4 is recommended for installed the OS from scratch in the new drive or could I use disk clone software? In this case, which?

  Thanks in advance.

  Currently, there is a problem with end users not being able to get this empty housing to recognize a M.2 WSSD drive added after delivery to the details of the laptop. Technically, the trying to jeopardize the warranty but who never stops the hard core of the valuation. So for the time being, until HP provides an answer as to what is happening with m2 slots, I do not recommend that you do the upgrade. If you want to go faster, I recommend that you install a SATA 2.5 inch SSD in place and place of the mechanical hard drive. Even that, however, will show warranty issues.

• SSD installation - conflict with PCB

  Hello

  Today, I tried to install an SSD 2.5 "in a S10 (4333-A13) - and was surprised that there is a part of the circuit board under the S-ATA-connector colliding with the SSD (the green room on the left and right for the connector s - ata is aprox. 2-3 mm higher than the floor of the cargo bay hhd). See here:

  

  Thus, the DSS will not be properly connected. See here:

  

  It's a little annoying (spoken politly) - and I do not take a saw and adapt the ssd of course.

  Someone at - he experienced this? A failure in the design?

  Best regards, pepun.

  Problem solved!

  Intel sells an ssd that fits.

  Unscrew the black plastic braket.

  Replace the screws.

  Then your good to go.

  Definitely fits the 320 series (SATA 2).

  IM using this type.

  Startup time has improved, but... the holds of the Atom Processor stil reconnect once the operating system.

  Anyway I hope this helps some people who thought they were stuck with a HARD drive

  Happy computer

• Simulator 6.0 Installation woes - wasted a few hours already.

  Hello

  I try to install the Simulator for OS 6.0 on my windows XP machine.

  I have 4.09 Directx installed on my machine.

  But the installation retains not due to missing components. The installation is able to correctly detect that I installed 4.09. But he keeps insisting that I have installed DirectX. I've attached a screenshot of the screen relevant in the installation process.

  I'd appreciate any help to solve this. I already spent several hours trying to trouble shoot ths.

  

  I was able to get around it after a bit of research on Google.

  I had to change the permissions for the following folder.

  Settings\ temp * folder c:\Documents and settings\%username%\local

  This is the mail thread where I found this.

  Thank you Jerome to confirm that DirectX looked OK. I was otherwise the impression that it was something wrong with my installation of DirectX.

• New installation woes - SQLDeveloper on Oracle 11 g XE and Oracle Linux x 64

  Note that as a developer Oracle experienced in enterprise environments running the MS Windows operating system, I am familiar with SQLDeveloper for Windows. However, I have not much experience with Linux. I find not intimidating, just, I don't have a lot of accumulated knowledge.
  
  Recently, I tried to set up a development environment on my portable Windows7 Professional x 64.
  
  1 installed Oracle VBox
  2. install Oracle Linux 5.2 inside the VBox (because Oracle 11 g XE is not certified on 64-bit Windows, to go with a Linux OS)
  3 installed Oracle DB 11.2 XE
  4 Installing JDK as described in SQLDeveloper for Linux x 64 release notes
  5 installed SQLDeveloper 3.1.07.42 - 1
  
  No apparent problems with any of the facilities.
  
  Problem: I can run SQL Plus command line, but when I click on the icon for SQLDeveloper, nothing happens. No error message, nothing else.
  
  Question #1: Not sure how debug/fix it. Will read through the installation and release for SQLDeveloper, but any suggestions would be welcome.
  
  Question #2: This could be due to a problem with the installation of JDK? It appeared to be successful (no obvious problem), but I do not see anything this either in the Oracle Linux menu system that tells me the JDK was installed successfully. How can I make sure that the JDK installation was successful?

  >
  Linux x 64 of SQLDeveloper version is shipped with the JDK. There is a recommended JDK version, with a view to install it before installing SQLDeveloper. What I did with apparent success. I guess I'll have to reinstall the JDK and check my Java versions later. Thank you.
  >
  I don't know what JDK you have downloaded since you didn't say. What version is this? Post the link.

  I can hardly believe that the recommended JDK version is 1.4.2 since it is an OLDER version of Java, you have to hunt to find even for download and, especially, the main download page, sql Developer Announces clear what version of Java is required.
  http://www.Oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/SQL-Developer/downloads/index.html
  >
  JDK support
  Oracle SQL Developer 3.1 comes with JDK1.6.0_11. However, you can connect and use any JDK 1.6.0_11 or higher. To use an existing JDK, download the below zip files "with JDK installed.' already
  >
  As you can see you need JDK 1.6.0_11 or above.

  If the version that you say was recommended was actually 1.4.2 is a mistake; view details so that developers can get this fixed an error.

  I don't know what is on your system and can only go by the information you provide
  >
  4 Installing JDK as described in SQLDeveloper for Linux x 64 release notes
  . . .
  version Java '1.4.2 '.
  >
  You have either downloaded the 1.4.2 version which seems unlikely, or your Linux included 1.4.2 and it is used when you try to start sql developer.

  Maybe that your system has now several versions of Java top but the version used by sql developer is evil. If so this is the question that you have to solve.
