Win 8 SSD

I'm working on a laptop G585. I'm not familiar with Lenovo and haven't seen any series G listed so I have no idea if its thinkpad or an idea or a terminology what ever so I post here.

My client has updated its plant win 8 to 8.1 and when restarting got nothing else than the black screen. OneKey brings up a menu and choosing recovery goes back to the black screen. She then bought the recovery $89 discs and gets a mops.dat error towards the end of the installation. Then she brings me.

Long story short, the hard drive is bad. Irreparable sectors and fails S.M.A.R.T.

My question is if I replace the original Western Digital Scorpio Blue 320 with a 256 GB SSD while using 4 recovery disks, will it install or give me an error message on the HD is smaller then original?

I wouldn't order it and there no work or spend many hours looking for a solution.

Because I couldn't get an answer on the use of a smaller SSD, I went with a Western Digital 320 GB WD Black SATA III 7200 tr / MIN 16 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Portable Hard Drive WD3200BEKX at Amazon. It installed without error mops.dat pefect. In conclusion, the mistake of mops.dat post toward the end of the installation was caused by a bad hard drive.

  • HP 450-011: delete the recovery partition after upgrade to win 10?

    I have a new HP 450-011 and it came with Win 8.1 and the recovery with the letter D: drive partition.  I did the upgrade to windows 10.  I made a set of recovery DVD for win installation 8.1.  Is there a reason for me not to delete the D: drive and replace it with my information?  I seriously doubt I'll want to roll back to 8.1 Win.

    Greetings,

    Have you tested the Win 8.1 HP Recovery disks before installing Win 10?

    A question is: If you need technical assistance from HP tech for a possible hardware problem. HP normally requires that the factory installed operating system to take in charge. This policy of HP may have changed during the upgrade to win 10. I do not suspect.

    You can export the recovery, Partition because it will not work now in any case.

    But you need a way to go back to win 8.1 when you need HP warranty support.

    Since you have already upgraded to Win 10, the only way to check the recovery of 8.1 Win disks is to use them and start all over again. Or the support of disks/USB recovery HP Win 8.1 on a new equivalent or larger HDD or SSD. A good installation means that you have now the factory install on this disk.

    It's a lot of work.

    The problem of guaranteed support is your problem.

    I have eliminated this problem by installing Win 10 on a new SSD. I have HP Win 8.1 on a separate SSD and win 10 on a different SSD. Possible guarantee problem solution means earn 8.1 running on HP SSD factory to check the problem of winning 10 SSD.

  • Dual boot Win 7 64 - bit of complications and Win10

    At the present time, I have a dual boot system running Windows 7 and the preview to win 10 (on a separate SSD). Everything works OK.

    I want to install a new motherboard and load a 64 bit version of Windows 7 (new battery).  And... I want to use the SSD for the final version to win 10.

    If I understand correctly, I will have to remove my HD Win7 and win 10 SSD to install the 64-bit versions. I have a DVD 64 bit Windows 7, but I guess I'll have to get a Win 10 ISO.

    I would like to reinstall a large part of my Win 7 backup files and programs for the 'new' 64-bit Windows 7. Then I carefully would focus on files and programs to victory 10 64-bit in the car.

    What is freaking me out, is the vision of key programs does not work with the 64-bit versions. If all goes well, I read that a large number of 32-bit programs running on a 64-bit system.

    With a bit of luck, I have to burn (in TB) storage so I can back up carefully, but that is not good if the stuff saved refusing to work with a different system.

    I'd love a lot of comments on my strategy. I'm too much of a big deal, or it's going to be a nightmare?

    Thank you!

    Kurupa salvation,

    I'll be happy to help you with the problem you have with the computer. I understand the frustration when things do not work as it should.

    If the program is specifically designed for the 64 bit version of Windows, it will not work on the 32-bit version of Windows. (However, most programs designed for 32-bit version of Windows operate on 64-bit Windows version).

    Device drivers designed for the 64 bit version of Windows do not work on computers running a 32-bit version of Windows.

    Having a few issues with the victory 8 DVD pro included with my laptop.

    BIOS is set as UEFI + secure boot, win 8 pro dvd starts and I can start recovery, after a while, he asks disc 2 and starts to recover win 8.

    After completion and reboot, it does not start and shows just the toshiba logo.

    Factory hdd with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 is replaced by the bios.

    What could be the problem?

    > Drive HARD factory is replaced with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 recognized by the Bios.

    You have the same start-up problems 8 win using the original HDD equipped Tecra R950?

    From my point of view, it would be possible that this laptop does not start successfully because of the new SSD.

    I recommend you check the previous HARD disk.
    If the laptop could start correctly, the problem is related to the new SSD drive.

    In some cases, it would be possible that the SSD firmware must be updated.

  • Satellite U840W PSU5XA - Win 8.1 installation and effective use of SSD

    Hello.

    IM in the hope of a solution to the two questions.
    The second that I suspect is caused by the first.

    Satellite U840W PSU5XA-001006

    Has started getting the BSOD with various defects.
    The most persistent has been IRQ LESS or not EQUAL - iaStorAV.sys

    Many hours of research and I can't find a solution or post did the extension "AV" the iaStore.sys...

    So I have provided zero factory (BSOD) issues have persisted.

    So, I Clean installed Windows 8.1 directly above everything and removed all previous records.

    I noticed that the system was not working all utility brand TOSHIBA factory etc. and seemed to be much slower. I suspected that this was caused because of the 32 GB used SSD as Cache has apparently been bi-passe and now everything worked strictly on the 500 GB HARD drive. I don't remember BSOD, but the system has been significantly slower on the start-up and performance.

    (SIGH), I even once reset to factory settings, and it gave me back TOSHIBA utilities such as gas stations of the brand.

    HOWEVER, the BSOD remained, and once the upgrade to windows 8.1 MAINTENANCE of files and settings, the iaStorAV.sys error is returned (specifically when closing lid in mode "standby") forcing the CRITICAL error and force the system to restart instead of awakening from sleep.

    Note: Windows is a legitimate copy of MS, so it's not the question. More strange, it's that 8.1 installation had run at least 8 months no problem before sudden BSOD Page file and iaStorAV errors. Readings and messages have believe me MS Updates to bee the culprit here for the start of these issues.

    I read a similar post regarding RAID CACHE PRIOR to 8.1 Windows Installer. My intuition tells me that these two can only be related. that is if windows was incorrectly installed RAID cache, CACHE is not in strored properly and causing BSOD. Im a beginner at this stuff, so be patient...

    What I really want to know is, how now can I Factory Reset Windows 8, make it positive to the 32 GB is used as CACHE and help etc. fastboot, then pass safely to 8.1 Windows?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    ATTEMPT of THINGS ALSO: TSRI and RAID re - install, memory (success), updated BIOS to 6.70, Diagnostic fast storage re-installed drivers

    Thanks in advance,
    Mr. frustrated...

    iastorav.sys is part of the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.
    The BSOD appears to be related to this pilot and is therefore the first step which I recommend: update the Intel rapid Storage Manager driver.
    The latest version should be available on the Intel driver page.

    If you use the Toshiba Recovery disk or the HARD drive recovery process, you will get the same system and State of the laptop computer as on the first day of purchase. In this case, the system must be configured correctly.

    But if you have deleted or replaced the HDD / SSD in the past, then the RAID configuration is lost and must be rebuild with special tools / software and the procedure.
    This can be done ONLY authorized by the service provider.

    By the way: the upgrade to win 8 to 8.1 Win has been very well described in this Toshiba HowTo doc:

  • How to install Win 7 on a SSD in Satellite U500?

    Hello

    I had good results with SSDS in my desktop PC (both Win XP) has decided to ride one in my laptop U500 who has Win 7/64. The original HARD drive still works very well so I saved an image on a big USB and burned a DVD of recovery.

    With the SSD installed and connected USB key, the image is on the USB drive. I get prompted to recreate the image and select 'Yes', then I get the message "the restore system image failed. No disk that can be used for the recovery of the system disk can be found. ». From here, it's downhill that, at the next prompt, the computer restarts.

    If I come back to the process and consult the list excluded disks, the SSD is shown here, but is not checked (thus not excluded).

    Only problem I could think of is the new SSD is 240 GB and the orginal HDD is 320GB but it is far from complete.

    Any ideas I can try?

    Stuart

    Stand by.
    You can install recovery using recovery DVDs image? I assume that you have created in the past.

    A few years ago I U500 and AFAIK it has optical disc drive that can be used for the installation of OS image or regular recovery. You have the Microsoft installation disc? When you start OS install has access to set-up for the SSD?

  • Screen of C850 - 1 H 8 satellite flashes and turns off using SSD and win 8

    Hello, I bought a C850 - 1 H 8 of Ebuyer and I removed the hard drive installed windows 8 on it and installed my SSD, and then a clean installed Windows 7.

    The laptop was working perfectly, and then after a little more than a month, the headphone jack has become defective intermittently. I contacted Toshiba, they picked up the computer laptop, fixed and returned.

    When the returned laptop, I still pulled the hard drive provided with Windows 8 and replaced by my SSD with Windows 7 top.

    The laptop screen started flashing on and outside. So I thought ok, they must have changed the material. Using the SSD even I formatted it and then reinstalled Windows 7.

    I find that contrary to front - that my laptop according to the system information for Windows - is manufactured by LG and not Toshiba.
    I also find that the desktop screen and startup splash turned into a screen LG and not an a Toshiba.

    I contacted Toshiba and they gave me, told me to ask for a replacement from Ebuyer. I was passed between the two companies constantly. Then I took the hard line with Toshiba and said that they have damaged my computer and I want a replacement or I will not buy another Toshiba product.

    I then return a petulant response from Toshiba, actually insinuating that aside from the faulty earphone Jack, it was my fault. Incredible.

    I had not used my new laptop at all really after all of this, because I'm sick of all this. But today I started to use it again, and after some time of use, the screen flashes again. Even after using a new installation of Windows 7 and the clean use of Toshiba Windows 7 64 bit drivers for the right model.

    What can I do?

    See you soon

    + The message was edited summer - subject wire +.

    > When the laptop returned, I still pulled out the hard disk provided with Windows 8 and replaced by my SSD with Windows 7 top.

    It was not good because headphones is part of the motherboard and I think they replaced the motherboard. In such cases, the bulk of the material is changed and do not use the same system pre-installed due to the compatibility of the driver. This can lead to physical problems.

    But the screen flashes at the beginning with 8 win preinstalled?
    Have you seen the LG sign turn on/off the unit after replacing the mobo?

    Maybe service guy (ASP authorized service provider isn't Toshiba but independent company) I forgot to update the DMI and therefore LG sign appears on the screen.
    But in my opinion this should not affect the screen but this should be verified using Toshiba original image (Windows 8)

  • Install upgrade SSD S400, win 8 questions

    Hello. I recently bought an S400 and try to upgrade to an SSD HARD drive. After a lot of pain, I find a Lenovo OEM 8 ISO Win and a USB bootable with her. I have confirmed that I can boot to it in UEFI mode on another system. I installed the SSD in the S400, a unit of series 120 GB Samsung 840, and the BIOS recognizes the drive. Whenever I try to boot on USB or SSD (which is empty at the moment), I will meet with an array of symptoms according to my process:

    Overall, it does not try to start on a device. If I boot using the onekey without the USB is connected, it will allow me to access the boot menu and it shows the SSD as the only option. If I try to start on the SSD, I get an infinite loop to display the Lenovo logo, then a restart. If I try the onekey with USB already plugged in, the activity of the USB light with flash a couple of times and the screen will sit on the Lenovo logo indefinitely, without giving me the opportunity to get into the BIOS or a start menu. If I boot to the recovery screen where I can choose BIOS or boot menu and then plug the USB and select the start menu, the screen goes all black. If I try to start directly, without onekey, DSS or the USB port, I get the infinite loop.

    I have USB boot enabled, LAN boot disabled and have tried different combinations of UEFI and the bootable media legacy. What I am doing wrong?

    I want to emphasize that this does not mean that I am hacking it, just an observation. I'm not happy having to use one of my key MSDN is everything.

    I would use minitool partition manager to clone the disk partition & 100 MB windows C if your installation.

    Works well in general & used for this task a lot. Use the partiton options rather than SSD clone will enable driving a complete copy of all of the source to the target SSD. Don't delete anything since! TB until what you tested SSD clone A1.

    Could someone with their infinite knowledge teach me throughout the procedure with pictures if possible?  What parts do need me if any?

    Thanks in advance

    Tom

    I thought I was doing a 512 GB SSD.  The system came with Win 10 Pro 64 bit installation floppies, but I'm used to and prefer to use Win 7.  The idea of cloning seems interesting.  In fact, it looks to the ticket.  What cloning software is recommended.  The priority of the boot in the BIOS change after cloning?  I am concerned with what type of SSD should I purchase (interface, transfer rate, etc.), what cables, if any, and which adapters will be necessary?

    At work, I have all my computers run with SSD (OS/startup) and they run like rockets.  This new computer runs great, but with a SSD for the start, program files, "scratch disks", I'll be in the drive hyper.  I'd be in Mary for a bargain price.

    Yet once again, thank you very much for you answer quickly.  I have several Dell optiplex computers in office and did not have a problem.

    Thank you once again to Osprey

    Well, tell me how it works,

    I have dell inspiron 15z with 500 GB hard drive with laptop want to exchange it to 120 GB ssd, but I can't because no media to reinstall and the whole system is on hard Bank...

    I tried to do with software usb recovery dell preinstaled originally, but when I start to install the ssd system it gives me the error message that the new hard disk must be at least 465 GB

    I tried to copy the partition that I tried to do the recovery with another software image, it simply does not. When I tried to install win from another cd that he refuses the number series, even when I used the same version. instead of this test of dell to kill my mood why don't they have just not preparing the software backup and restore Dell to facilitate the use and for SSDS too?

    I would gladly appreciate any help

    Hi Thomiq,

    The backup and restore software would seek similar configuration during the restoration. If the hardware is changed the original image may not work.

    At this point, I see that you will need the operating system disc to reinstall it on the SSD drive. Please send me a private message with serial number of the computer, name registered during the system purchase and email address so that I can check out what we can do.

  • Problem installing WIN 7 64 bit on a Vostro V131 with SSD

    Hello everyone,

    I just got my new Vostro V 131 with i5 2430 M, 4 GB RAM, HD3000 graphics and standard 500 GB HARD drive!

    I already had a new OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB SSD and wanted to change it against the bed on the HARD drive.

    I put a boot Win 7 64 bit with SP1 on a USB key and started the system. I am able to choose my language setting and then click the button "Start installation". And this is the mess: Setup starts, then then tells me I need to install other drivers. I can't choose anything else but a reader where these drivers. So I downloaded the SATA (AHCI) support drivers for my controller from DELL. They are recodnized by the system as drivers and checked, but I just go back to the window that says Add. the drivers are needed. The SSD is recognized in BIOS and SATA set to AHCI. I was able to format and part with the victory included tools/recovery Partition.

    OK, I checked for allmost everything, which could cause such problems. SSD firmeware is updated, set BIOS to update (as mentioned, SSDS is shown correctly). I put the SSD drive on an external HARD drive enclosure, and it has been shown in Windows as a normal USB storage device.

    Everything I checked was correct, the SSD is identified and shown correct instead of the Win7 installation menu.

    I am at the end of my ideas and hope that one of you can help out me!

    Thank you so far...

    Flo

    I discovered what caused all this trouble ;-)

    It was the USB port used! I don't know why, but the USB 3 port starts the installation and then want additional drivers! I swapped the USB 2 port and everything worked fine. ;-)

    But thanks for the answer! Also, I don't have a DVD player ;-) If this would not have worked.
