• Windows 8 and SSD drive

  Hello! A year ago I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 with 8 Windows preinstalled. My question is this:

  you want to upgrade my hardware to replace my current hard drive with a Solid State Disk. The problem is that in windows 8 there is not any program except the OneKey Recovery, obviously it is not asking the official recovery of Microsoft (including Windows 7). If I create a disk with OneKey then is it possible to use it to install windows on the new SSD 8? The pc will recognize a backup disk created by an application that is not installed on it?

  You can do this way:

  Replace the hard drive with sshd, then starts with the drive flash usb partition creator site Evozi. Once you have created partitions replace the sshd with the existing hard drive and start the machine. Use a hard drive with the sshd adapter so that you can copy the files from backup recovery D:Lenovo\Lenovo\OneKey App\OneKey okr. Lenovo file is hidden so you may need to turn on hidden files in the folder of the control panel option. Again, replace the hard drive with the sshd. Press the button of novo for a restore okr.

  Note: Each time you turn on the hard drive and sshd, the computer must be stopped. A bracelet of gounding should be used.

• How can I enable AHCI in dv7 6199us? And install windows on a SSD?

  Hello!

  I got help.

  How can I enable AHCI in dv7 6199us? And install windows on a SSD?

  Intel based computers, like yours, are usually set to "RAID", which is a superset of "AHCI". Basically, if the BIOS won't let you choose between "IDE mode", "AHCI" and "RAID", leaving in the RAID led to you everything done "AHCI". In this case there is no need to activate the AHCI, as RAID will support an SSD anyway.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• 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.

• 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.

  / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

  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.

  Please read this message before doing anything. If you don't feel confident that you can follow the instructions, ask someone more experienced to help you.

  This procedure applies only to an iMac or a Mac mini with a drive installed in the smelter.

  You must read these instructions while no web browser is running, so either print them or load them onto another device before you start.

  1. all the data on the internal disks will be deleted, including Boot Camp data, which are not saved by Time Machine. You need at least two complete and independent backups. 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.

• Satellite R630-155 - fan is too loud and SSD update

  I am the owner of a Toshiba Satellite R630-155 (Core i5-480). My problems are:

  1. the fan is too loud and never stops. In normal operation (navigation and General Office work) there is a constant high pitch noise which is audible three to four meters in a desktop - high load environment, you just can't take it anymore! The fan never stops... even when you do nothing...

  2. the heat is a big problem. The bottom of the laptop is overheated constantly and I have to place on my desk so that the lower left corner is outside the table, so it can breathe fresh air from below - otherwise, the temperature rises and the (noisy) fan is unable to follow. When I work with the laptop sitting on a couch, I place a thick book between the laptop and my legs. The book must be thick (more than one inch) with hard covers, otherwise the heat going through the book!

  3. last (but not least, I will mention the biggest problems here) that's the problem with the installation of the SSD. I bought a used Corsair F80 (80 GB SSD) from a friend, but I was unable to use it with the Toshiba - BIOS not detect the disc. I tried to install all the latest updates for portable and SSDS but I had no success. Then I put the disc and I bought a brand new Zalman 128 GB SSD (SSD0128N1 Sandforce) but I had exactly the same problem. I contacted my local support Toshiba and after much conversation, the only answer I got is that the laptop is not compatible with these SSDS, and it is acceptable by Toshiba and not their problem. They told me that if I need an SSD upgrade I cannot go for the Toshiba SSD that is installed on the portege series, which is sold by Toshiba for a ridiculously expensive price - about $500 for 128 GB. I contacted the European support center and I got the same exact answer. I searched the Internet and found someone else with exactly the same problem with a Corsair 128 GB SSD - he concluded that the laptop detects the SSD after ten to twenty resets. I tried and it was true - after a lot of restarts the detected disk Zalman laptop and I was able to successfully install Windows 7, but the process is unacceptable. Also the drive is rated by the sites official at the speed of an OCZ Vertex 2 128 GB (and a little better), but when I ran a cue point in the Toshiba, the results I got were less than half of the advertised speed. Same reference in another machine of the same disc, resulted in the announced speeds.

  Shame for Toshiba...-beautiful design and portability, but all the rest is a big flaw. Their support in non-existent and they do not appreciate their customers. According to me, they stole my money and I will never buy a Toshiba laptop again.

  Sorry for the big message, but I need, I warn potential customers. Can anyone help me with any of these problems? You also have the same problems?

  To follow...

  Hey Buddy,

  With regard to the issue of fan and the heat: you did it BIOS update? A friend told Satellite R630 too and he told me that the fan with the new BIOS version 2.10 activity is reduced. In addition, the laptop is colder than before so I recommend to install this update. You can download the update of the BIOS here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  But before you start the update of the BIOS, you should consider the following tips:
  -Run update as an administrator only
  -Unzip all files from zip archive before launching the update file
  -Close all running programs as the antivirus and firewall
  -Make sure the battery is fully charged

  With regard to the SSD it s still a little complicated to install 3rd party products and no one can guarantee that these parts would not work. You're always on the side safely with original spare parts from Toshiba.

  All you can do is to install the new firmware for SSDS and hope that it works, but who knows maybe the BIOS update will help you also in this case ;)

• s3100y and SSD

  Is the s3100y (Loctite MB) have problems with a Samsung 840Pro SSD in support?

  Hello

  The Intel s3100y chipset doesn't support SATA II speeds.  You may need to format the SSD before using it.  I recommend also using Windows 7 and select the mode of sata AHCI controller.

  Study posted the Manual on how to remove the hard drive. Install the SSD will require a 3.5 "to 2.5" adapter support.  Some SSD come with this type of support.

  There was firmware bugs reported on the net with the Samsung 840 Pro SSD.

• Clean install of windows on a SSD for Lenovo Z50-75

  I bought a Lenovo Z50-75 with AMD processor and AMD graphics card and a 1 TB of HARD drive, but have found him seems extremely slow and have decided to put in a new SSD and install Windows costs. I'm very disappointed with the speed of this thing.

  (1) since then, the machine did not come with any recovery disk, how can I reinstall windows on an empty SSD 10 put in?

  (2) I wish that I don't have to deal with Bloatware and crapware to obtain best results, how can I make sure I don't end up with him again?

  (3) this machine certainly has the windows 10 product key stored inside the material that needs to be picked up by the installer. However, if I decide that I don't want this Windows 10 rather I want Windows 7 or less likely Windows 8, which should be on the inside then?

  I'm including Windows 7 and 8 here too since I can decide to change for them on this laptop additional mine and if sure that makes me never upgrade to Windows 10.

  (1) since then, the machine did not come with any recovery disk, how can I reinstall windows on an empty SSD 10 put in?

  Comment: Use the Novo button to access the recovery menu to restore the unit to the factory State or if you have your own backup image you can use. Read the manual.

  (2) I wish that I don't have to deal with Bloatware and crapware to get best results, how can I make sure that I don't end up with him again?

  Comment: You can install clean. However, you will remove the Lenovo recovery forever feature.

  (3) this machine certainly has the windows 10 product key stored inside the material that needs to be picked up by the installer. However, if I decide that I don't want this Windows 10 rather I want Windows 7 or less likely Windows 8, which should be on the inside then?

  Comment: This will be the same procedure. Just ensure that you have the necessary drivers for which version you decide. Expect a few surprises since the device is supposed to be built and tested to win 10.

  Suggestion: Try using a raid configuration in a single enclusure similar to this if possible.

• H8 - 1440t: cloning Windows to new SSD

  Hi, yesterday I bought a new SSD and installed in my office because I wanted to replace my old HDD. I cloned my main drive (HARD drive) that contains my operating system in the new SSD successfully.  Everything works fine, but I've seen a watermark on my wallpaper near the clock (on the side of the lower right of the desktop) with the following message:

  "Windows 8.1 Build 9600 Pro with Media Center.

  I searched on google and I found that build 9600 a do something with Windows activation, but I do not know why because I already unplugged the HARD drive and I'm not using it in any other computer. Then I went into control panel of-> system and I noticed that in the part that says that the Activation Windows message "Windows is not activated" and on the right side, there is a link that says "activate Windows".  I have not to click the link again because I first want some suggestions to solve this problem. Can someone help me with this?

• HP m9040n want to upgrade to win 7 and ssd. no problem to get bios maybe

  looking to upgrade. something I need to worry

  Hello

  Before you do anything, remember that you have a set of HP recovery disks in case you would have to withdraw.  Back up your data on an external support. An external USB hard drive would be my choice.

  Dobios updatewhile you're still under VISTA.

  Run these two utilities. .    Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.   Test for 64-bit hardware  Look at the results of the analysis of 64-bit with Upgrade Advisor.

  Update your memory on VISTA.  Then, run this utility to make sure that the memory is good.  Download memtest86 iso file and burn it to disk using the Imgburn.

  If you upgrade the memory beyond 4 GB, then you need Windows 7 64 bit to take advantage of the extra memory. None of the HP added value will be offered under Windows 7 64-bit you will need to do a clean install.

  Now, do a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit. Apply all updates including service pack 1.  You may need to restart and run the update of Windows process several times to get everything updated.

  Now, install all the programs you need and updates for them.

  Look over the size of the C partition to perhaps determine the size of the SSD to buy it. I would consider an SSD that is greater than the space used on the C 20 GB partition, but it's your decision to make on the amount of free space to store for updates and future expansion.  Depending on your needs, a 60-80 GB SSD may be enough.

  Looking for an SSD that meets your needs of space and comes with a migration kit (software plus one sata cable USB). If you have an empty hard drive Bay so your will need a 2.5 "to 3.5" disk media adapters and sata data cable. If you do not have a Bay hard drive empty then use an empty optical Bay. In this case, you will need a 2.5 "to 5.25" Bay adapter brackets and a sata data cable.

  Open your PC and inspect cables power the hard drive Bay. Do you see a spare power connector?  If you do not have a hard drive Bay empty then use and empty optical drive Bay.  Looking for a replacement power adapter. If a sata power connector is not available but a molex adapter 4 pin is then you will need to purchase a power adapter to manage the molex connector to a sata power connector.

  Before mounting the SSD inside your PC, use the migration kit and the process to the image of your hard drive Windows 7 overall of the SSD. You need only to images in the mbr record, SYSTEM and C partitions.  If this process is successful then mount the SSD inside your PC and connect the power and sata data cables.  Start now and make sure that Windows recognizes the new sata SSD. If it's good then boot into the bios and change the boot order to reflect the SSD as the first device to boot from the hard drive and save the settings.

  If your PC starts now with the SSD then smile. You must disable defragmentation for the C partition because it is not necessary.  Your original hard drive is still intact, so you can use it to store the data a possibly an emergency boot disk if something goes wrong with the SSD or Windows 7 on SSD.

• Want to Rove 20-ko14us: extremely slow want Rove 20 - Windows 8 and 10

  I got this computer from a guy who had tried to do a clean install of windows 10. He was stuck in the cycle of install it and he couldn't fix it. He created several additional partitions on the hard disk.

  I was able to complete the installation of windows 10 but not activate it. After an hour on the online chat with Microsoft, I was able to retrieve the product code. I then had to go back to windows 8 and then move to 10.

  Because the system is so slow, who has taken far too many hours but I got the upgrade and activation to work.

  On a good start to 04:30 minutes to get started with the home page and have the activity wheel stop. If I do a restart it takes twice longer.

  I installed all the updates of windows 10 and drivers HP for windows 10. Nothing seems to have helped. I even opened the computer to check the excesses of dust and reinstallation of the memory and HD connections.

  I run several different diagnostic programs and found some problems with the HD. I left the software fix, and then the OS did a scan / repair started upward. I simply fill out a deep analysis of the HD with no problems found.

  I am suspecting something at the hardware level or HD is causing slow operations. It is the first hybred HD that I used and wonder if I change it for one SSD drive that in order to speed up the system.

  Has anyone else had this trouble? If so, what was the cause and fix it?

  Thank you

  Tom

• 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.

• K320: how to install windows on a SSD?

  To speed up my system, I bought a 64 GB SSD. The idea was to install windows 7 64 on this disc and the same boot from that. HARD original (1 TB) disk is intended to use for data application only.

  I added the SSD successfully to my system, but it seems impossible to install windows and make it bootable? I can't use recovery tools because my original system is also longer than 64 GB.

  My preferred plan is to unplug the HARD drive and start with the SSD from scratch (so if there are problems during the installation, I can easily switch back to my old system).

  Any ideas how to proceed?

  Thank you

  budo_flieger

  At least I had to reinstall windows on the HARD drive and transfer it to SSD. This link describes how: http://www.com-magazin.de/praxis/detail/artikel/windows-7-auf-ssd.html
