  • SSD not recognized, in-house or Via USB

    Very long story, there are similar positions here but other situations are not the same as mine or the answers do not explain things very well.  I am trying to replace the hard drive in my MBP mid-2010 with a modern SSD, the manufacturer said it is not formatted (say you need to get in shape first of all, in response, saying that their operating system does not recognize in some way, shape, as is my case).  When I put it in the internal drive Bay I get the big "?", sometimes alternates between it and the icon of the Apple and the circle with a slash through it (which means indicates that it has not recognized connected equipment).  I bought the cable I need to connect it via the USB port, I have the original hard disk to another external drive that I intend to use to keep my saved MBP, I want to clone the original to the new SSD hard drive, then try to boot from it.  I'm sure I have format the SSD drive, but how can I do if it is not recognized?  When I connect it outside of a Windows machine (7) it is recognised in Device Manager (but not in my computer).

    Thank you

  • Pavilion dv6 - 1350us: dv6 1350us 240 GB SSD not recognized by BIOS ver F.41

    Hi all

    I want to replace the stock 340 GB hard drive SATA with a 240GB SSD but the BIOS does not detect the SSD drive. Here are the specs:

    HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook - dv6-1350us (Intel - Core 2 Duo)

    BIOS - Hewlett-Packard F.41, 12/11/2009

    SSD - Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 240GB Model # MKNSSDCR240GB-DX

    This laptop is currently in operation with no problems. It has been upgraded to Windows Pro 10 and all the latest updates installed - it's just very slooowly. The SSD, I try to use is checked 100% working. It detects and is accessible by other computers and works very well in a USB/SATA attached to this laptop docking bay. The SSD has been deleted, including the protected EFI & system partitions - IOW, it's completely empty - without walls.

    I am capable of (old) drive image hard work and save it on an external USB drive. The image size is 110 GB and includes data, system and recovery partitions, so it fits on the SSD. When I install the SSD in the laptop there is no option to boot from it so I guess that it is not properly detected in the BIOS. Nevertheless, with the SSD installed, I can boot from a Windows 10 'repair DVD' and get to the point where he's ready to recreate the image. However, since the SSD is not detected in the BIOS, it just gives me an error and dumps me.

    I want to update the BIOS to see if it helps but I can't launch the HP flash/upgrade BIOS updated SoftPaq (sp54629.exe) on Windows 10. I get a UAC error that says: this app has been blocked for your protection. An administrator has blocked the delivery of this application...... sp54629.exe... Publisher: Not approved

    My question: if I restore the old o/s Win7 (original) of the partition recovery and then run the update of the BIOS SoftPaq under Win7, it will allow the BIOS to see the SSD? I don't want to waste hours until I can be fairly certain that the problem will be solved by upgrading the BIOS.

    Thank you in advance!

    Update: still no solution to this problem of HP. 5 hours wasted. Had to install temproarily old hard drive from the laptop in order to reinstall Win7, as well as all the crapware HP forces on us all, the recovery of the DVD because Firmware HP update software does not work with Win10 - THANKS HP! Anyway, it did not help the problem at all. In addition, I tried a SSD of SATA-III (Samsung) different with the same results. HP has to pay a bunch of 12 years to write BIOS of their laptops. Well, time to throw this laptop HP in the landfill. HP - never.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook - 17-f250: new SSD not recognized, Pavilion 17 AMD drivers

    Hello

    I bought the laptop (HP Pavilion Notebook 17-f250) on September 2015 and this September 2016, I decided to upgrade with a 2nd SSD.

    I bought a caddy, placed my SAMSUNG EVO 850 PRO inside, removed the optical drive and then place the CART inside the laptop. It fit perfectly, no problem there.

    But Windows does not recognize it at all in MANAGEMENT OF DISKS.

    It is not here in order to format it, etc...

    My IDE/SATA appears as "AMD SATA CONTROLLER".

    I can not find anywhere no possibility of enablev AHCI etc... My BIOS is not an option to check if the AHCI drivers are enabled or not.

    With the AUTOMATIC DETECTION is my driver: AMD APU A4-6210 with graphics AMD RADEON R3.

    My operating system is WINDOWS 10.

    FYI, I bought another same SSD for my office and worked smoothly. I only have a problem with my laptop, and I can't figure out how to recognize the Windows SSD!

    BR,

    Dionisis

    What caddy you bought? There are a lot of these on the market and some are not made with the highest quality control. You may have it tested with another hard drive?

    Second, the interface for the optical drive is SATA which is ahci. The drivers are not the issue.

    Finally, put an SSD in an optical drive is a little excessive spending from one optical drive interface is slower, so the speed of SSDS is wasted. It would be much better to put a regular hard drive large, slow in the optical Bay for storage. Having an SSD in there won't be fast in all directions. Also, a disc in an optical Bay will not be initiated.

  • Satellite L50-A-1CU: new SSD not recognized if SATA is set to the performace

    I changed the hard drive from my toshiba a-1-cu C50, with a 128 GB SSD 830.

    This drive only set on the 'autonomy' work is not a 'performance '.
    (In the performance of the modality, the Bios do not see, or seen once on ten of system startup.)

    This settings in Bios called sometimes "interfaces sata".

    The performances are a quarter more slow (125 MB/s vs. 500 mb/s).

    The hard drive has the latest firmware available.

    There is a solution to finally put on the "performance"?

    Hello

    Indeed, it is very strange question

    However, it would be interesting to know if this BIOS <–>recognition SSD problem appears with the other SSD drives. Have you tested other SSD?

    Otherwise, I think that if this problem would appear with different disc SSD, the BIOS may not be not entirely compatible with various SSD.

  • CQ50-130US: CQ50-130US SSD not recognized

    My in-laws CQ50-130US has a scratch disk, but the machine is SO slow I want to update a 5400 RPM for one SSD and windows Vista 7 (or maybe 10). I installed a Sandisk Plus 120 GB SSD but can not get the system to recognize it. I can see it using a USB docking station I have on another machine, I even formatted it so the drive seems to be OK.

    I updated the BIOS of F.25 to F.65. The BIOS will start to test the drive (because I don't know what all the test consists of I cancel immediately so I use unnecessarily) and if I remove the disc test fail... so the BIOS sees it, but when I get to the windows installation, Windows is unable to find a drive to install on.

    I google a certain number of things, but what I found doing the litle is meaningless, as it said that it should be a 256 GB for the BIOS drive to see, but it doesn't seem to be the problem.

    I had to use the drivers when I install disks to a RAID controller and which seems to be what windows 7 is looking for here, but too sholdnt happen.

    I'd appreciate help if there is to be

    At any time.

    I am pleased to have been of assistance.

    On a newer platform, I think any SSD will work.

    On the largest, it's a crap shoot.

    As I wrote yesterday, I have a HP 6930p notebook with the same chipset that you work the CQ50, and I installed a 330 Intel 120 GB SSD in this one and it works great.

    I noticed in the specifications of the HP 6930p, which was the first company PC HP 'officially' supported for one SSD.

    I'm having a problem with the installation of a new SSD on my T5400. Ultimatly I want to load the operating system and all the software on the SSD and then install a 2nd hard drive SSD of same type and size to store my files.

I tried to find the appropriate drivers on the website of dell for my system and the unziped NautilusDOSA48_ZPE, put on a USB key.

    Hi Todd,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I currently have the readers installed and running on my system

    In response to your answer, yes Bios A11 had been installed for more than a year, removed the card activated before installing the SSD raid and AHCI.

    The question, it turns out that was a simple, as I said after enabling the AHCI I thought that ports 0 and 1 auto detects new readers, they do not have. Once I have manually configured ports on in the Bios, the system recognizes the new SSD and they work now.

  • Dell Latitude e5440 - Samsung 850 EVO mSATA SSD not recognized

    I bought a new 500 GB Samsung 850 EVO mSATA SSD for my Dell Latitude e5440 (running Windows 7 Pro).  The new player was not visible in 'Computer', so I downloaded, installed and ran the software Samsung magician.

    Samsung software shows that the drive is present.  And there is a button "Validate" - I clicked on - and now: ' Drive Health Status: Good ' and ' serial number: true "appears.

    However, the SSD is not visible when I double-click on computer and the Samsung software States:

    a. "AHCI Mode. Disabled (IDE or RAID).  AHCI mode is necessary for the best performance of the SSD. »

    b. SATA Interface s. o. cannot detect SATA interface details.

    c. s. o. OS OS optimization is supported only for disks using an operating system drive.

    Question 1: Activation of this AHCI mode will allow Windows to recognize the SSD?

    Question 2: How do I?

    Question 3: Activate the AHCI mode "switch off" (logout) my HDD 2.5 "?  (I want to keep Windows 7 to 2.5 "HARD disk and install Windows 10 on the SSD to have a dual boot system, until I got used to Windows 10).

    Remove the disk 2.5 "and connect the new drive mSATA.

    Boot the system to the USB key.  10 Windows Installer should be of the presence of the DSS and will allow you to do the installation of Windows 10 - which in turn is almost certainly going to install the network driver suitable for your system without the need to add anything else.

    USE your 7 product key when prompted and you should be all set.

    in windows Explorer when im running HDD, but when I try to boot from SSD I get an error

    error code (3F2) I ran diagnosis but no result without error of ideas? Thank you

    If you use the Apricorn software and a usb cable to SATA it should work.

    I did it several times without problem, except when I got an SSD that was a problem.

    Replace the original hard drive in the notebook.

    Download the latest version of the firmware from the manufacturer to the SSD and install it.

    Once you have done this, try cloning of the OS for the SSD, reinstall it in Notepad and start on the SSD.

  • 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

  • A SSD from OCZ Agility 3 disc works with a dv9700T? Mine is not recognized by the BIOS.

    I bought a 120 GB OCZ SSD Agility 3 disc to install in my laptop the dv9700T CTO.  The drive is not recognized by the BIOS when it is installed in the Bay of 1 or 2, but is recognized when connected via USB as a secondary drive.  The drive works fine in a different computer, so I know the drive works.  There seems to be a problem with the SATA (ICH8) controller.

    Someone at - it any information on that?  Would love to get the drive works in my laptop.

    Thank you.

    If you have a HARD drive installed in the secondary Bay and the OCZ SSD in the first Bay, the dv9700t starts and works very well.

  • MacBook Pro not recognizing the Cougar USB install

    I have a Macbook Pro 5.2-17 "retina display. I replaced the hard drive and I am installing Mountain Lion. The hard drive is not an SSD. It's a 500 GiB Western Digital SATA, partitioned with TPG and JHFS +.

    I started by installing El Capitan, because that's all I had. The installer of El Capitan is on an external USB drive that is partitioned. When I boot using the down Option key, the C key or command-R, the installer of El Capitan is recognized. I installed El Capitan, created an installer of Mountain Lion on a different partition on the same external USB drive and erased El Capitan the internal hard drive. When I boot on the USB setup of Mountain Lion is not recognized. Setup of El Capitan is recognized correctly. Why not available in boot manager during startup? When I got El Capitan installed, the two partitions have been recognized very well when I plugged in the USB. Both were mounted and appears on the desktop. So I know that the problem is not the USB key, or 2.0 or 3.0, or the recovery partition because I erased the disc and the recovery partition is no longer exist. How can I get the installer of Mountain Lion to be recognized at startup?

    I did the command Option P R, NVRAM reset several times. No joy. The only partition recognized at boot time is the installer of El Capitan.

    I want to level back to Mountain Lion because it is less intrusive than El Capitan and will be more familiar to the person who will use this computer.

    Oh, and more than two elements. When I start the installer for OS X from the external USB drive, I gives me three options on where to install TO - install OS X El Capitan, install OS X Lion mountain and Macintosh HD. Therefore the partition setup of Mountain Lion is recognized, but not as an installer to start from. Although when I plugged in the USB port when El Capitan was installed he showed as an installer Mountain Lion.

    Also, there is NO option to choose where to install FROM. If I have two installation programs, I have two choices of installation?

  • Tecra M9-185 - 750 GB HARD drive not recognized

    I have Tecra M9-185 (PTM91E-0G4045G3) with BIOS Version 1.90 dated the 29.02.2008.
    It came with HARD drive of 160 GB, which is quite old and needs replacement. I want to upgrade the HARD drive. I tried to use the 750 GB HARD drive, but it was not recognized by the BIOS.

    Is it possible to upgrade the HARD disk? Is there a limit to the ability of the new HARD disk that can be installed?

    Hello

    Of course, the HARD drive can be upgraded.
    The laptop supports the SATA controller. The SATA controller is not limited to a special HARD drive size of my knowledge. 750Go should be supported too. But it might be possible that the BIOS is not able to manage these dimensions.
    Try a different SATA HDD with the smaller size.

    But question: why you n t choose an SSD (250 GB)?
    I have improved my Tecra A10 with a 250 GB SSD and the performance gain is amazing. The machine is running much faster and quieter
