Transfer the BONES of an SSD

I just bought a Pavilion HPE h8 - 1330a with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit and a 1.5 TB hard drive. I added a 256 GB SSD and would like to transfer the operating system for the SSD. So I used the Windows "shrink" command to reduce the operating system on the hard drive partition. However it would only reduce it up to 1.2 TB despite the amount of space used is less 40GB. Then I tried a third-party utility that reduces the score to a reasonable size. However it would not start. I then had to resize the DOS partition up to 1.5 TB and use the recovery feature to recover the operating system. If I had a set of original OS disks that I could just set them on the SSD, install the drivers for various devices and wipe the old operating system partition. However, HP do not provide the original disks.

How can I transfer the OS to my new SSD?

There seems to be no direct way to do what you want. Please create your personal HP recovery disk set prior to any modification of the original scores of factory or installing any OS on such partitions.

This method requires no activation and strength that a reactivation if you change all your hardware as will normally will not happen if you are using Windows with a standard COA key.

(1) download and unzip ABR beta for Windows 7. This is the homepage of ABR for Windows Vista. Please follow the section "How to use" for information and instructions on how to use it. These steps also apply to Windows 7. The 'activation' on your original with factory HP OEM Windows installation hard disk backup, backup the backup files in several locations (USB stick, SD card, external hard drive, etc.).

(2) download your version (the version that has been preinstalled on your HP computer) Windows 7 from Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River. Using the built-in Windows 7 CD/DVD burning software, burn the ISO image of Windows 7 downloaded onto a DVD.

(3) install Windows 7 from your new "Windows 7 disk" to your SSD, following all prompts as needed. Do not enter a product key Windows and do not allow Windows try to scoped. After the windows installation is complete, run ABR 'restoration of activation' to 'install' the previously saved until the product key and the certificate. Verify that Windows is activated, if not activated... repeat "restoration of activation" until Windows 7 is activated.

Good luck.

  • Move the BONES of an SSD on ENVY h8 - 1520t

    Hello

    I just purchased and installed a 240 GB INTEL SSD 530 Series hard drive in my machine of h8 - 1520t HP ENVY. The SSD is initialized and works very well.

    Both the original hard drive which is a TeraByte WDC WD10EZEX-60ZF5A0 and the SSD newly installed are installed and works very well.

    My goal now is to start from the SSD and move MS office and other applications for the SSD.

    I would appreciate help on what's the best method to move the Windows 8 (now updated to 8.1) from the original for the SSD hard drive and what it takes to set up to boot from SSD ENVY.

    Notes:

    The Intel SSD came with an acronis cloning tool they call software data migration-which is supposed to copy or clone everything, since the HDD through the original SSD - I'm willing to give that a try, but a bit hesitant as I don't know if it's the best solution, and I think still need to do something probably would change the settings in BIOS to boot then the SSD.

    Thank you

    You are welcome.

    You must change the boot order.  However, until the SSD starts successfully, you should unplug all other HARD drives.  I'd be happy to hear how it works.  Many brands of SSD requires changes to the BIOS.

  • With the help of an SSD in a 2007 MBP

    Hello

    My first post here, so I'll do my best!

    I did research on the possibility of replacing the standard HDD in my MBP A1226 with a SSD instead. There are a few messages and advice here and around the internet however nothing farm.

    So my HARD drive has given up! In my view, it is possible to replace the old drives with SSD but before I go and spend money does anyone know if a SATA III will work in this model? More old SATA I and II is hard to find these days without spending ridiculous amounts of £££! I realize this id, that it is possible to mount a drive SATA II that I have complete data transfer speed, but there must be better than a normal HARD drive?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    SSDS tend to be retro-compatible SATA.  Just don't no experience of the full capacity of the SSD in your MBP (i.e. SATA1) like you tells you quite rightly.  However, there are significant performance improvements reflected in the operation of Mbps.

    Ciao.

  • Transfer the information to another hard drive

    # 1 I am operating Windows xp pro and you want to add an additional hard drive. I would like to transfer all the data to the new hard drive. Is it possible to copy data from the old to the new drive without transferring the operating system? I want to format the old drive and reuse, but I don't want to lose all data.

    I'm not very smart computing and would like any help I can get.

    #2 I would like to install the new operating system on a partition itself, is it possible? How can I do this?

    I don't have a rw drive, I have a dvd drive and a floppy drive.

    I run a computer HP xw4100 with 1.5 GB of memory, Windows xp pro sp3-operating system.

    Thanks for the help.

    I note you have a desktop computer and you have posted this in a forum of the laptop, but I think I can help you. Here's the Quickspecs, incidentally:

    http://h18000.www1.HP.com/products/QuickSpecs/11604_na/11604_na.html

    With a desktop computer (even a workstation like yours), it is much easier than with a laptop. Just put in the new drive (I guess you understand jumpering with drives ATA/IDE and ID devices if you're dependencies a scsi disk) and format from Windows XP. Now copy the data you want to save on the new disk. You won't be able to separate programs on the new drive if that's what you had in mind. just data files. For example, you can put all your Powerpoint presentations on the new disk, but you cannot move MS Office there. It is linked in the BONE and must be reinstalled.

    If you want to be sure just copy everything except the Windows folder and the Program Files folder to the new drive.

    Yes, you can install all the operating system on its own partition, but be careful to choose to install the new software on another drive top and you may want to move my Documents on the second drive for example. This will keep the data and the separate operating system, which is what I assume you want to accomplish. Let us know if you need help here.

    During the installation of Windows XP, you can create partitions and choose which use the partition to the OS.

  • Replace the HARD drive with SSD on a T530 - noob question

    Hi all

    I have a T530 with conventional hard drive. I want to replace it with an SSD (probably Samsung 840 Pro). When I look at the replacement Web site instructions, they refer to the use of spacers during the installation of an SSD (as opposed to rubber rails that frame apparently my current HARD drive).

    Do I need these spacers in order to install an SSD? If so, should I buy Lenovo?

    Thank you very much

    Jason

    If it's the same outer dimensions transfer you the rails on the replacement drive rubber. They add protection against shocks to the reader while an SSD is pretty shockproof. It does not float around well! If you do not use the rails lose you and probably never find them again if needed.

    Most likely, what you found, is that the iTunes version is the latest available for your operating system.

    The latest version of iTunes is 12.4.3.  This version requires at least OS X 10.8.5 or later version, or Windows 7 or later version.

    If your iTunes version is earlier than 12.4.3, it will probably not recognize your 6s performance iPhone iOS 9.

    If you do not have the required operating system, get first.  Then download from iTunes

    Hi malcolm_henry,

    From what you describe, you receive an error message when you run OverDrive and attempt to transfer the music files on your SONY reader, are - this correct?

    If so, the issue is probably with OverDrive, and you should contact their support of clarification on what means the error message:

    While moving recently, I came across my old digital camcorder Sony TRV620E and strips. I thought it would be a good opportunity to transfer the contents of the tape on my Mac I-... It is not as simple as it may seem however. The Mac I will not recognize the camera, which I have connected via an out DV link and a usb connection.

    I also downloaded software HomeMemories of Sony, which seems to be as good as a chocolate teapot. In any case, I could not download the content, so I've been in conversation with Sony about it. Bit of a waste of time really, after about 3 months of back and forth emails they say that:

    1. 1. digital Camcorder (DCR-TRV620E) is not compatible with OS El Capitan.
    1. 2 PlayMemories House 3.1.00 or later version is compatible with OS El Capitan.

    However, performance is not guaranteed for all computers.

    As a result, please try another PC with a different OS.

    I don't have access to another PC, only I have a Macbook Pro with exactly the same software as my Mac. They run El Kapitan 10.11.5 and I - Movie10.1.2, HomeMemories 3.1.00.12180 and I also have an old copy of the Toast Titanium 11.

    Is it likely that say a DV FireWire or link Thunderbolt will make a difference?  The latest version of the film I is also not compatible with the camera, according to Apple.

    This camera needs a Firewire cable.
