Windows 8 and SSD drive

• Windows can handle a disc SSD and HDD together? Is it better to install Windows on the SSD drive?

  Can Windows take the advantages of Solid State Drives and hard drives and know where to write or suggest?

  Is it better to put Windows on a SSD and programs like word and save files on hard drive?  Also maybe windows might do a B/H on the HD.

  I think that that's where computers go.  Either all SSDS like Mac book air or a hybrid of the two and is ready for her Windows or do we wait for an update to Windows 7 or Windows 8?

  You need at least a 60 GB SSD (or more) to install Windows on. The traditional hard drive can be used to store data files.

• Parameters to win 8 and SSD drive

  Just bought a h9 - 1440t with windows 8 pro and an SSD.

  Can you tell me:

  1 - is the motherboard SATA 2 or SATA 3?

  2. are there additional parameters I should do to ensure the best performance of the SSD drive?

  I was led to believe that I had to disable indexing and to put all temporary files on the secondary drive which I use for data.

  Thank you

  eddiel66

  Hey eddiel,.

  The majority of our units produced since Feb 12 will use SATA3

  And Yes, to disable indexing and assigning temporary files (and other files from storage) to your secondary drive would be wise.

  Hacker life also has a great article on SSD found HERE.

• Windows 8 and SSD Toolkit

  Hello

  I just installed a Sandisk Extreme SSD 120 gb in my laptop computer with 1-port SATA II and swapped the old DVD player for a caddy to hold my old mechanical hard drive.

  I installed the SSD toolkit and found the R201 for my SSD (windows disc) update, and since I don't have a DVD player more I chose USB option. It copies the files well, but when I restart and go into the boot devices, USB is not there! It does not seem to recognize that it is bootable.

  So I did the first USB device boot in the bios and the bios hangs until I get out of power.

  I tried the process 2 usbs, a 1 GB and one 8 GB, but two of them do not work. After trying the dialog to tools to make them bootable both appear as 257 free of 10,4 Mo ko '. Is this normal?

  The Toolbox is not compatible with Windows 8?  I think that the update is not written some files to the usb port that is used to start. Anyone can check if your bootable usb key has the same files as mine?

  the two photos above are the only files on my usb key

  Please help I need to update the firmware of my SSD. I don't have a dvd external player thanks in advance.

  120 GB SSD is currently on r112
  Running Windows 8 Preview version

  Windows 8 has not been tested I'm sure that since he is not an official statement. Having said that I've seen a few reports of machines, on which the USB wouldn't boot up. It would be probably much less of a headache just to exchange the caddy for your original DVD drive and update the firmware then swap back.

• HP laptop laptop 15-ac047ne: computer hp laptop. upgrade to windows 10 and graphic driver problems

  Hello.

  I have a newly purchased HP 15-ac047ne laptop. Whenever I have let windows automatically updated, update the full operating system for windows 10, I keep losing the Catalyst Control Center as well as the AMD graphics driver (which I noticed because the adapter is gone from Device Manager.) So I ended up back to factory default with windows 8.1 and kept all the automatic updates turned off. In addition, update drivers on this unit is very annoying... so I went here because I'm tired to reset the laptop to factory settings, whenever things get screwed

  Issues;

  1. is there a simple and effective way to get the latest drivers for my graphics card? (AMD Radeon r5 m330 / Intel HD Graphics 5500) The fact that it is switchable does not seem to make the drivers from amd site adapted, so IDK

  2. why dxdiag only shows Intel HD Graphics 5500 and not AMD Radeon r5 m330

  3. should I just turn off the automatic updates (both windows and hp) to maintain the stability of my system?

  Thank you!

  We will address the latest first - blocking the MS driver updates.  Follow the instructions in the link to prevent the update of your drivers in Win10 MS: How do I uninstall and updates of block and the drivers on Windows 10

  Now, as for drivers, those of AMD is unlikely to work on your PC, because they are not designed to work with computers that have switchable graphics.

  The best place to get drivers is on the HP support site. The link is on the page of the HP drivers and software for your PC: http://support.hp.com/emea_middle_east-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-15-Notebook-PC-series/7771404/model/8566519

  Note: If the link does not show Win10 when you open it, click change and select Windows 10 in the menu drop-down.

  You must install the AMD/Intel switchable graphics high definition of the linked page.

  Good luck

• Can I mix SAS and SSD drives? PE2900

  Please forgive my ignorance; I've looked through the documentation but can't find the info I'm after.

  I have a PE2900; When we look at the config online I see comes with:

  GT281 1 Assembly, map, PERC5I, Serial Attached SCSI, 2900
   
  and SAS 15 k of the 4x146Gb discs.
   
  I want to mirror 2 drives SSD for the OS. I have the 1 x 8 SAS backplane with two cables between the 5 / I at the bottom of basket... I guess I have to buy a spare sata cable sas to replace the 2nd cable and to find carriers that contains the ssd?
   
  Is it possible on this machine?  All the world does? If so, how can I find the correct carrier? I can not chat w/dell as this system is way out of warranty and the store "parts & updates" is a joke.
   
  Thank you!

  Hello wilddoktor

  The PERC 5 / I do not officially SSD support, but it will probably work. PERC 6 is the first controller to SATA SSD support and the H700 supports SATA and SAS SSD.

  I would recommend that you try SATA SSD. In addition, none of our controllers support mix of technologies of discs in the same container/table, then you will probably not be able to put the SSD in the same table as non - SSD.

  Create a RAID 1 with SSD 2xSATA would probably work, and you should be able to keep your another Bay of SAS drives on the same controller. I only am not able to give a definite answer since SSD was not taken in charge with this controller, but maybe there is someone who has tested that sounds in.

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Vista can be installed on the SSD so because it works like a normal HARD drive, but read the instructions of your SSD as Akuma has written because you shouldn't t defragment.

• How to re - combine a HD and SSD in a player of "Fusion".

  Hi all

  Well, this process has floored me know how much time lost, he created and how the problem occurred in the first place.

  I am wanting to do a clean install of El Capitan on iMac late 2014 retina with El Capitan with a 1 TB drive merger 10.11.6.

  Boot from an external hard drive with OS X utility disk 10.11.4, wouldn't let me simple deletion of the reader. He came up with the error message "removing logical volume of the logical volume group cannot delete the storage base logical volume...". »

  So I started to investigate this problem and found:

  estorage-logical-volume-from-the-Terminal http://Apple.StackExchange.com/questions/136590/How-can-i-Delete-a-partition-Cor

  Who publishes various other forum known as the best solution to the problem. Knowing that I hate to use the terminal, I dove in full anyway. I was reformatting disks on Mac for 20 years without needing terminals?

  I got so far as to remove the existing with logical group:

  sudo diskutil cs deleteLVG

  and now the HD and SSD drives appear on the desktop as a empty volumes (which is fine, I don't need to save anything).

  But now, try to use the:

  sudo diskutil mergePartitions HFS+ "Apple_HFS Macintosh HD" (and different combinations of drive locations)

  results only in "the data partitions are not of the same disc.

  This is what I see with the "diskutil list; ECHO; Cs diskutil list "command in terminal.

  3: disk3s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

  I have no idea how recombine the separate HD and SSD drives in one drive of Fusion, with which I can then do a clean installation of El Capitan. Can someone please!

  Also, how can quickly and safely erase a disc from Fusion in the future? I need to deploy a new image of master with all our software top one another 10 times, and I want to completely erase the readers for clean installs (with Migration Assistant for about 8 years, moving from a system has resulted in a lot of weird and wacky behaviour on our Macs) and it is time for a clean install for each of them.

  Again, I'd be very happy any help on this.

A backup is not enough to be sure. There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

  2. you will need to start one recovery system other than the one on the internal hard drive (if he has one.) There are several ways to do so.

  a. If you have a backup time of the Machine (not a network backup), or a compatible Mac OS X installation on an external drive, then you should be able to start it by holding down press option key to start ringing. Select the external hard drive in the row of icons that is displayed. I mean by "compatible", an installation running on the machine. A version of Mac OS X that is older than the machine is not compatible.

  b. If you used Recovery Disk Wizard (or can use it now) to prepare a system recovery on a USB flash drive, you can start that by pressing the C button on the ring. No icons will appear. Startup will be much slower than usual.

  c. start the Internet recovery mode by pressing the key combination command-option-R to start ringing. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe. Select a language, if you are prompted.

  Note: You need an Ethernet or Wi - Fi connection to Internet to use the features of recovery network. It will not work with modems USB or PPPoE, proxy servers or networks that require a certificate for authentication.

  3. disconnect all other external storage devices.

  What happens then depends on what version of recovery that you are running.

  ☞ If the machine came with OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), 10.9 ("Swat") or 10.8 ("Mountain Lion"), and you're in the recovery of the Internet, please take step 4a and skip step 4 b.

  ☞ otherwise, go to step 4 and go to step 4B.

  If you are unsure which version of Mac OS X, the machine came with, search for it on this page.

  After taking these steps apply, you must have a reader of empty Fusion named 'Macintosh HD' on which you can perform a 7 step or step 7B.

  4. repair of the Fusion drive (see "Troubleshooting" on the linked page.) Quit disk utility and go to step 7A or 7B step. Skip steps 4, 5 and 6.

  4. in the OS X screen utility, select get online help. Safari will launch. While in recovery, you will have no access to your Favorites, but you won't need them. Load this web page.

  5. triple - click anywhere in the line below to select this option:

  N=Macintosh\ HD; for d in /dev/disk?; do o=`diskutil info $d`; for D in SSD HDD; do eval [[ ! \"\$$D\" ]] && grep -lqw "APPLE $D" <<< "$o" && eval $D=$d; done; [[ "$SSD" && "$HDD" ]] && break; done; diskutil cs create "$N" $SSD $HDD && diskutil cs createLV "$N" jhfs+ "$N" 100%

  It is a very long line, and you won't see it on the web page. Be sure to select the entire line, not just the part that you can see.

  Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

  Quit Safari. You go back to the OS X Utilities screen.

  6. in the menu bar, select

  Utilities ▹ Terminal

  Launch the Terminal application. Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. Wait for a new line ending with a number sign (#) to appear. If nothing happens, press the return key.

  Quit the Terminal must be returned to the main screen.

  7. If you have a Time Machine backup, connect the device to backup and restore your data. If you have saved to a network like a time Capsule device, it must be connected automatically.

  7B. If you do not have a Time Machine backup, or if you can not restore from Time Machine backup that you do not have, install OS x Restore data later in The Migration Wizard.

  In the Internet recovery mode, you install the original version of Mac OS X comes with the machine. If you have upgraded the operating system on the App Store, you will need to do it again.

• Tecra S4 does not detect the SSD drive

  Hello together,

  I try to install a Samsung SSD 840 Pro to install in my Tecra S4. But when I try to install Windows 7, there is no detected SSD.

  What can I do that Windows detects the SSD drive?

  With greetings
  Golfbaer

  Hello

  You must add the SATA/RAID driver.
  Download from here:
  http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/RAID-drv-20070719134547.zip

  Now, go to the BIOS and on the 3rd page of the BIOS, you can change the RAID settings to * 1RAID-0. *.
  Eventually, you will need to enter the password 1234 + and then press on + ENTER +.
  Now boot from the Windows 7 installation disc.
  Select "Custom Installation.
  Connect the USB where the RAID driver files

  Regarding the selection of the target (SSD drive isn't visible yet) disk, select "Load Driver" and navigate to the USB key, where is the folder with the drivers. Setup for Win 7 now allows you to select a memory stick USB attached.

  Confirm and after that we should include a list of available devices (SOLID-STATE drive)

• LY580 - installation of windows 8 on SSD

  I would like to install windows 8 on my SSD instead of upgrading my copy of windows at the standard C disk. However, during the installation of windows 8, I says that it cannot install on this disk because it has a MBR partition table and EFI systems require GPT disks. When I try to change that in disk management, I note that the SSD is not configured as a full disc, but is rather a volume of disk 0 with the HARD drive. How would I change this so that I can install windows 8 on this drive?

  Thanks for any help

  I had the same problem. Guess that's the problem with the config RapidDrive. PC with RapidDrive are not upgrading to Windows 8.

  I suggest:

  Quick tool allows to separate your HARD and SSD drive

  Pure install Windows 8 on SSD

  Go to the link below and read the last post on the page by BinaryInk

  These instructions will help you activate Windows 8, even if you only have an upgrade key. (That worked for me)

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-windows_install/Windows-8-Pro-upgrade-Pro...

  and use the SSD and HDD separately for now.

  Finally wait for Lenovo release RapiDrive for windows 8 as promised.

• Envy 15 t q300: activate Windows after add SSD

  -Recently, I bought an mSATA SSD and add to my book. Now I want to reinstall Windows 10 in this SSD, my Windows 10 is now on the HARD drive. Windows will automatically activate once I installed windows SSD or what I can do to activate it? My settings shows that 10 Windows activation is enabled with a digital entitlement, what is?

  -J' have a the HP USB recovery order, can I use it to install Windows 8.1 (my laptop came with Win 8.1) to my SSD?

  -One last thing, in disk management, there 2 partitions hidden before Windows (C, healthy (recovery Partition) and healthy (EFI System Partition), which ones, and if I reinstall windows SSD my windows will work fine without these 2 partitions?) I deleted the recovery partition in my HARD using HP Recovery management disk but the healthy (recovery Partition) has not disappeared.

  Excuse me for my English, I hope understand you.

  Older versions of Windows offer a product key to activate Windows (as it is written on a sticker COST or built-in BIOS/UEFI).

  Windows 10 offers another option, called right digital.

  Probably, you had older versions of Windows and free upgrade to win 10. In order to keep your old version keys active Windows, Microsoft enabled Windows 10 using the new method. Win 10 has been activated using Windows 7 or 8 button, then this key would have been valid for the 2 versions of Windows (which is impossible).

  More information about this new option:

  > http://www.winbeta.org/news/digital-entitlement-a-new-method-of-activation-in-windows-10

  Maybe you can get temporary, the computer HARD disk and reinstall Windows on the SSD drive. Then you can insert the HDD tray in and when everything is ready, you can format the HARD drive and use it as an extra.

  If your computer came with Windows 8.1 or 7 preinstalled and later upgraded to Windows 10, you can use the recovery media to install the previous edition of Windows, and then upgrade to Windows 10

  Alternatively, you can try to clone your disk SSD using a software like Clonezilla:
