The upgrade with an SSD

I plan on migration to an SSD soon. After the upgrade SSD will appear as drive E:? If so, how can I change the C: drive SSD? I use a computer house built, based on the motherboard ASUS P5K - E. The processor is Intel E8400 3.0 GHz. I have 2 GB of RAM. Please ask me for more details if you need it. Thank you!

If I understand you correctly, you want to change your system so that the first disc (the one where Windows is installed, as well as all your programs) is a new SSD.

Assuming that the new SSD is at least as large as your current system (c) partition and assuming that there are no other partitions on your current hard drive more (I assume that your current D: is a CD or DVD drive) the right way to achieve your goal would be to do the following:

Clone the current C: drive on the SSD drive (preferably, but not necessarily, in an external USB enclosure)
Turn off computer
Remove the existing computer C: drive
Physically install the SSD to the computer (for example, out of the outer shell)
Turn on the computer and restart
At this point, you can stop (a) or (b) install the old hard drive as a second internal drive or (c) put the old hard drive in the external box. For one of the last two options, you can use the old hard drive for backup. I would hold off the coast on the restructuring of the old hard drive for at least a few weeks until you are sure that all cloned correctly.

If you are not using an external enclosure during the cloning operation (for example, you install the SSD as a secondary internal drive), you MUST shut down the computer WITHOUT REBOOTING and remove the original hard disk before rebooting. (See, however, notes Anna me at the end of this response.)

If you want to have the two former players and new internally, be sure to log in using the appropriate connector and set the jumpers to ensure that the SSD is considered to be the main or the "master" drive

Cloning software

If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

Acronis True Image Home
EASEUS ToDo Backup
Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
Casper
Norton Ghost

Macrium Reflect free
What follows is a very old post of 'Anna' in the Microsoft support newsgroups (the predecessor of "Microsoft Answers", which, in turn, was the predecessor of the current "Microsoft Community." I edited the message refer only to cloning, rather than "Disc imaging" as well (another method of backup not useful in your situation). Although some details have changed with the new versions of the software, it is always interesting to read:

Detailed instructions for the use of Acronis True Image leprogramme to clone a hard drive

Within the framework either of these two backup & recovery process, you are
dealing with two hard drives - source & destination records say.
the source is the HARD disk drive you want to save and the destination disk
is the HARD disk that will be the recipient of the cloned content of the
source disc or the recipient of the disk image that you create.

When you use both methods, it is usually best for most users to use a
drive external HARD as the disk of destination, i.e. the recipient of the cloned
content of the source diskette or the recipient of the disk image created. This

can be either a USB or Firewire cable or external SATA HARD drive. While the other internal
HARD drive can also serve as the destination disk, that there is an additional element
safety in the use of an external HARD drive because this player will normally be
disconnected the system except for the cloning disk or recovery
process.

Here are the step by step instructions for
by using the Acronis True Image 9 program to clone the content of a HARD disk to
external HARD disk. (The steps are essentially the same using the latest ATI 10)
(version):

1. with two hard drives (source & destination disks) connected, start.
Ensure that no other storage device, for example, flash drives, ZIP drives, etc.,.
are connected. It is also probably a good idea to close all programs, you
may have to work in the shadow - including any antivirus antispyware
programs - before this disk-to-disk cloning operation.

2. access to the Acronis True Image 9 program, under "Pick a task", click
on 'Clone disk '. (In version 10 of ATI, click "manage hard disks" in the)
"Choose a tool" box, and on the next screen click 'Clone disk').

3. in the next window "Welcome to the Disk Clone Wizard!", click Next.

4. in the next window of the "Clone" Mode to select the automatic option (it should
be the default option selected) and click Next.

5. on the next window of 'hard drive' Source, ensure that good source
HDD (disk you duplicate of) was selected (highlight).
Click Next.

6. on the next window of 'hard disk of Destination', ensure that good
destination of HDD (disk you duplicate to) has been selected (even once, click
to highlight). Click Next.

7. in the next window, select the option "delete partitions on the.
destination hard disk. Understand that all data currently on the disk which
will be that the recipient of the clone will be removed before the disk cloning
operation. Click Next.

8. the next window will reflect the disc source and destination. Once again
confirm that the correct commands have been selected. Click Next.

9. on the next window, click on the button continue. A message box appears
which indicates that a restart will be required to undertake the drive cloning
operation. Click on restart.

10. the cloning operation will pronounce on reboot. With modern
components and a medium to high power processor, data transfer rate will
be in the range of approximately 450 MB/min at 800 MB/min during cloning to
an external USB HARD disk. much faster when cloning to another internal
HARD DRIVE.

11. when the cloning operation has been completed, a message
indicating the disk cloning process was a success, and ask you to
Shut down the computer by pressing any key. Do it and unplug your USB
external HARD disk.

If, however, the destination drive was another * internal * HARD drive, see the
NOTE below.

12 note that cloned content now residing on the external USB HARD drive take
on the file system of the source drive. For example, if before the
disk cloning operation your USB external HDD was formatted FAT32 and
your XP operating system has been formatted to NTFS, the cloned content will be formatted in NTFS.
There is no need to format the USB external HARD disk before the disk cloning
operation. Similarly, it is not necessary before the operation of disk cloning
to format a drive HARD internal if use you a drive HARD internal as the
destination drive.

13. the system restore can be performed by cloning the content of the
data from the external DRIVE for a normal HARD internal disk drive
process of cloning such drive as described above.

NOTE: Just another point which should be emphasized with regard the
the recipient of the clone disk cloning operation would be an another intern
HARD drive and not a USB cable or Firewire external HARD disk. Immediately after the disk
cloning of the machine must be decommissioned and the source that HARD drive should
be disconnected. Boot ONLY on newly cloned drive. CAN I NOT BOOT
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE OPERATION OF CLONING WITH TWO CONNECTED DRIVES.
It is quite possible that in doing so, it is likely to cause future
starting with the cloned disk problems. Of course there is no problem in this
area should be a port USB or Firewire EHD be the beneficiary of the clone since
device is not usually bootable in an XP environment.

**************************************************************************************************

LEM:

As you may know not my previous posts about this issue of cloning/disk-image disk, I am rather partisan passionate about Casper 6 - disk cloning program and highly recommend this comprehensive program for most PC users as a backup tool. (I recognize that this is probably of little interest to the OP because I guess it is concerned primarily or exclusively with cloning just the content of its failure (apparently) HARD drive to a newer HARD disk. And it seems that it may have other problems as well!)

The reason for this post is in my "NOTE" (quoted above) caveat regarding the sea program. I wanted to mention that one of the main reasons we prefer program Casper to other disk cloning programs (for example, the Acronis one) is that, unlike these other programs Casper completely avoids this potential problem I did reference.

During the two years since we started working with the Casper drive cloning program we had done (or were involved with) hundreds of disk cloning operations, involving a wide variety of PC brands/models, hard disks (both PATA & SATA), etc. During this time, we have never met a * single * instance of the problem raised. IE a user could clone the contents of his HARD 'source' to another disc * internal * HARD drive and would not (possible) later problem affecting the ability to start the (cloned) destination HARD disk even when the system was booted to the HARD drive with the cloned HARD disk connected source * immediately * after the disk cloning operation.

Under this scenario the cloned HDD would be obviously treated as a HARD secondary, a drive letter assignment drive of (obviously) other than C:. However, the source disk HARD later disconnect so that would imply the boot * only * the newly cloned HARD drive, this drive would start without incident and be granted the 'normal' C: drive letter assignment.

In addition, two hard drives must be connected in the system and the user changes the BIOS boot priority setting to accommodate a first start at the cloned disk as HDD will start without incident. And, of course, the ancient source THAT HDD would be then treated by the system as a secondary as HDD should in these circumstances.

And if the user decides to start at the disk of origin at a later time (for some reason any), the boot of this player would normally occur.

I thought that the information above might be interesting for you & others.

If I do that, then I lost the warranty? (In English)

Salvo, sono a nuovo consumatore di prodotti HP e sapere I wanted is sostituendo Hard disk capacity guarantee del PC original, grazie. (Italian)

Hello:

Unfortunately, there is no redress related to the support page and the driver of your laptop, so I have no idea whether or not you can do the job yoursel without voiding the warranty.

http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-15-R200-notebook-PC-series/7486447/model/7835232/manuals

I suppose the easy way to say would be that if your laptop is a service door Bay on the bottom of the PC, you should be able to replace the disk hard if you see after removing the cover of the service Bay.

If it's a solid background and without visible access panels, so it would be a model where access the disk cannot be done by an authorized service center.

There is a manual related to the series 15-r000. It is the series of model closer to you to your model.

According to the manual, it seems you need to take about the portable unit departed and arrived at practice.

"Dell Backup and Recovery" asking the upgrade with the inspiron 15 model

Hello

I'm new to this forum and also started to use the Dell laptop. I bought Dell Inspiron 15 (model 3521) 01-Jan-2014. I am trying to take backup of my laptop on a DVD. When I clicked on 'Backup and restore of Dell' app in app Manager. I try to click on backup system option 'Dell backup and recovery' section, its upgrade premium or enter key. Its not that allows to create backup DVDs.

What may be the issue? Because when I bought it, seller said that his original one.

It's part a scam from Dell. I've got 5 Dell portable computers/computers / tables all have this software on it with a VERY limited useage then weekly or if I get a pop window op offering the upgrade at a special price which, in the end, is the same price as if you would have just bought or 'improved' (like Dell likes to call it) the program to a regular price which IS : 39.99.

What I hate about businesses, in particular, the one that I spend a lot of money with it, is when they think they can put a quick access on me or in my case 5 times that I have 5 of these upgrade special offer windows popping up each week.

You're better off getting programs like Goodsync which will back up your computer or synchronize your files on an external hard drive, and that you can use on all of your computers for only $29.99. I use it on my servers and my offices.

Otherwise good luck with Dell and their implementation to special day called 'offer' that is the price of retail, after all. NOT COOL DELL ALL!

The upgrade with the new computer

I've been with Photoshop since version 2.5.1. I've updated by CD receiver and downloads on Adobe's Web site. I plan to buy a new computer and upgrade to PS CS6. How much of my older versions should I install to be able to buy an "upgrade"?

You don't need to install an older version to buy an upgrade. To activate the upgrade, you will just need to have the serial number of the product you qualified for the upgrade.

Question - the upgrade with 3 USB card and esata

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro Quad core 2.67 going to have maxed out RAM soon and are planning to get a couple of 2 TB seagates Macgurus. I'm a little embarrassed by my lack of knowledge, but I'll put my questions over there anyway. Last year, I bought a 120 GB ssd card Accelsior PCIe mercury OWC - not being aware of the s and outs of things, but I knew it wasn't a port multiplier with two external esata ports. so my question is this: since I have to live with this card can I connect the esata ports to discs in separate outdoor pens and then through disk utility make a raid 0 set, and what size of disc must be effective for the cost the least? I intend to get a USB 3.0 also so that I can use this speed also. My other plans must be a drive of fusion with the ssd 120 on the map of Accelsior with a disk of 1td existing in my drive for the system Bay and replace all small readers of seagate more big HARD drive and I'm wondering if the 2 TB is the largest capacity I can use internally. I am on a very limited budget so that's the reason why I'm thinking hdd and if there is someone with advice on a card USB 3 I would appreciate your comments - in fact, I would be happy to comment on everything I mentioned, I'm a little out of the loop on the evolution in recent years. It is possible to configure a raid with two disks of two PPI crd esata ports would there be an advantage with drives of 2 TB or 1 TB disks would work as well for raid 0. Do I intend to put in storage for Time Machine with the USB 3 map, and what size disc would be appropriate for Time Machine? I'm not lazy and waiting for someone to find out - I did weeks of research to get to this point and I just need a little advice. I'm just going through what I know and what I can afford, but maybe I'm missing another solution to try to get a little more speed and back up storage for my photoshop files.

I do only cc2015 Photoshop, Lightroom and On1software version 10.1 using OS X El Capitan and a cg 276 Eizo monitors more a second older Eizo. My usb ports 2 are all used and I rarely use a firewire port. Thanks in advance to all those who have advice. This is the first time that I have not posted anything on this forum

Time machine is a USB 2 connection. No real reason for a USB 3 connection.

There is no RAID in disk utility in El Capitan. Apple dropped the disc utility in El Capitan. However, you can still the Terminal commands to configure RAID.

You should be able to create a set with eSata RAID

Here is a map of the BSE 3 compatible with El Capitan.

USB 3.0 Mac Pro 2008 El Capitan

Make sure that the card said it works with El Capitan. Some cards USB 3 is no longer with El Capitan as the CalDiget of first generation card.

Internally the Mac can also use large HD depending on availability. However, there is a bug that first appeared in 10.8.4 and has not yet been set. To format a plu 2.2 to internal HD:

-Use a disk utility of all Mac OS X older, including the 10.6 DVD (if your Mac can boot from it) or any of the installation DVD player or boost saved work.

-Another solution is to move this drive in an external case and delete it there (assuming your case is modern enough to deal with readers more than 2.2 to.

In addition,

To sled mounting internal:

The penetration of the screw depth for 'down-screw mount adjacent to the platters' on some readers from over 3 TB have been shortened. This may mean that the live sled down until they adjust and begin to compress the washers on the sled. If this is the case, your drive will not rest flat on the sled and do not breed with the connector backplane without additional adjustment.

Cannot set the password for hard drive on the W530 with Intel SSD 520

Hello

I have a w530 with an Intel SSD 520 in primary hard drive Bay. Whenever I try to set a password for the primary hard drive, it doesn't stick. If I chose master + user or simply user, I will enter the password, it will take the passwords without producing an error and then just dump back me to the screen of passwords while leaving the disabled hard drive password.

BIOS is on the latest version for the w530 and SSD, the machine seems fairly normally operate differently.

Does anyone have ideas how I can activate the password? Thank you!

Hi, ctenorman

I did some research and came across this thread of Intel. There are a few people in the thread who were able to set the password on this particular drive. It seems that changing the BIOS "SATA" compatibility mode, set the password, restart, and then change it to "AHCI" worked for some, but not all customers with this player.

Good luck and let me know how it goes

Permissions in vCenter AD during the upgrade with SSO

I have an existing vCenter 4.1 with many existing permissions based on AD users and groups, which is member of a domain that trusts the domain where users and groups reside. As a result, SSO Setup does not add the trusted domain as a Source of identity during installation, only the domain of the server vCenter himself. Nobody knows what will happen to the existing permissions in vCenter during an upgrade? If not, is it possible to connect SSO before vCenter is updated and add the AD domain approved as a source of identity?
Thank you
John

What I've been through, if users/groups defined in 4.1 installation are not in the defined identity sources, they will be deleted (the installation program creates a file deleted_vc_users with a list of these users that you can then view them later) from the database.

After installing SSO, install the Web Client and use it to manually add your domain (s) and then go back and install the other components.

You just purchase a license CS6 fresh reduction in S & T if you are still eligible. If you're not, you can buy the normal commercial CS6 upgrade. And creative cloud programs work offline anyway. They don't need Internet conmnection during installation and activation just like the normal standalone versions.

HP envy 14-2090eo: activate the ahci with new ssd on hp envy 14-2090eo

Hi Hp experts...

I just ordered a Samsung 850 evo 500 GB ssd, replace the drive hard seagate 750 GB original in my HP Envy 14-2090eo. I then took a peek in the Device Manager and found that when I click the menu ATA/ATAPI IDE controller, it shows a new field saying: Intel(r) Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller. Does this mean that AHCI is enabled automatically when I install the Samsung 850 evo 500 GB ssd? Its because I don't have any options the normally settings in the BIOS to change to AHCI mode and then he hit me maybe its on automatically, or what I have to do to switch to AHCI mode, which I have heard is the best setting when installing SSD´s...

Best regards to all
