XPS 8700 - new mSata does not start unless...

I had my 8700 for a little more than a year and from the beginning, I put a 256 gb 2.5 SSD and everything has been good... unfortunately I ran out of room so I'm a 512 GB mSata and installed with the normal hiccups (bios setting, etc.) and for the most part, it works fine... installed win7 - all my programs games, media and all that. Well, now that I have everything there I was trying to format the original 1 TB hdd which served the initial boot (later converted to my games drive) drive and it refuses to format 'windows cannot format the system disk partition' I went into the BIOS and noticed his 1st listed in the order of the boot sequence. OK... so I put the mSata as first on the boot sequence and people with other disabilities 2 boot sequence HARD drives... Unfortunately, after that it does not start, say no boot device available. I tried other settings and the only way I can get my OS to load is if I put it on AHCI - legacy - then set my empty 1 TB (manually remove games) under the 1st boot device and set my msata #2. I want to use the 1 TB in a different computer and I want all my available bays opened for larger storage players when I need... but most of all I want to solve it because he needs to solve... Someone has an idea what I am doing wrong? any help is appreciated.

OS was initially earn 8.1... I upgraded to win 7 home

The boot sequence is dynamic, so it does not matter if change you it in the bios. Each listed item will be sought for the boot files according to what is currently installed. Because your startup files are not on the ssd, it will never start to this player. Windows must be installed on the ssd from scratch, so you lose everything and have to reinstall everything. If you have now works well, leave it alone and save yourself a lot of trouble. Startup files are still on the original drive.

  • BlackBerry 8250 new smartphones does not start with the connected SIM card

    I'm having a problem with my new Blackberry of Virgin Media (mobile).  I just got it and when I have a connected SIM card I only get the loading screen timer and the blackberry does not start.  If I have no connected SIM card the device starts in the operating system, but was told that there is just no SIM connected (obviously).  Once I put the SIM card in again once it is stuck on the loading screen.  As you probably already figured out that I did many resets hard with the battery pull and it has not solved the problem.  A consultant because it would be greatly appreciated because the only advise I got support was remove the boot of sim and put it back and start again duh!

  • New T460s does not start after initial reboot

    I have recommended T460s to a friend. Now there's a problem: after installation and restart (Win 7), it does not start. Seems to be to do something (welcome...) and that it is. After about 30 minutes of black screen and a cursor. Then she presses button / stop for 4 seconds, and welcome once again. He left for one night but no change when she awoke. What to do now?

  • Pavilion 550-138nc: new PC does not start

    Hi all

    I just got a new 550-138nc PC Pavilion. When I turn it on I get the boot that device message is not found and that I should install the operating system on hard drive (3F0).

    When I ran F2 system diagnostics, everything is OK mind no error message, but now I see only one disc. This machine should have 2 discs - 128 GB SSD and SATA 1 TB.

    If I put myself in the BIOS that I see in storage - Device configuration as a disk and it is this 1 TB and a CD-ROM unit.

    I also tried to use my old own Win 7 64 - bit installation DVD to start at least (that I don't have any DVD or USB key) However, I get the error message:

    Secure Boot Violation - invalid signature detected. Visit the secure boot policy.

    Could please give me a tip or help - what is the problem? Partition on the SSD drive? Will be the recovery of the aid of HP support (I just ordered what follows)? Or is the all go SSD?

    Thank you very much.

    If the BIOS does not detect the SSD drive, then maybe a cable is unplugged.  Jump off the side panel to check if the wires of the card are in place or if the SSD is in a socket, see if it is placed correctly.

  • XPS 8700 + Radeon 5770 does not

    Just got a XPS 8700 and decided to put my gcard of my old system in because it is more powerful.  Radeon 5770, when I put it in I get nothing.  The monitor does not display anything.  I put back it in my old system, and everything works fine.  Is the 8700 XPS somehow simply not compatible with the card Radeon 5770?

    Any suggestions on a map of decent price I want to consider?  If the XPS 8700 for some reason any cannot support any powerful graphics card I can just return.  Very strange that the card doesn't seem to work.

  • Windows XP does not start unless F12

    I cloned my HD with acronis.   Cloning has worked except that now the system will not boot unless I'm involved with F12 during the boot process and choose correct HD.
    Currently, my system has my original HD (C :) and a slave HD (e :))
    If I enter Configuration during the boot process (by pressing "delete") to select the C: HD as primary - it is not at all (only HD E: is a choice)
    If I have to start during the startup process menu (by pressing F12) - I see my C HD:-I choose what it and everything works fine.
    What is going on?   The MBR is defective or is it a BIOS problem?

    Hi tuuf,

    Try the following.

    Method 1: We will try to update the computer with the latest chipset drivers. In addition, update other device drivers. Log in the Web site of the manufacturer to do so.

    Method 2: You can also update your computer with the last BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) available from the manufacturer of your computer.

    Important: Update of the BIOS can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered unusable. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

    Method 3: Reset Master Boot Record (MBR)

    a. start your computer and insert your Windows installation CD/DVD.

    b. restart the computer and press a key to boot from the CD/DVD when prompted.

    c. Press 'R' when prompted to press 'R' to access the Recovery Console.

    d. Type "fixmbr"

    e. Press 'Enter' to reset the Master Boot Record. Restart your computer.

  • RAM Dell XPS one 2710 question does not start with more than 2GB of ram

    Hi, I recently updated to Win10 I've taught it will be easier way for installation after upgrade fees, but the reset button does not work so I decided to return to 8.1. I copied version UEFI victory to USB and restarted the victory while pressing F2, but the computer does not restart "just black screen even no Dell logo" so I turned it off, back on and same story. Then I disassembled the pc and know that no matter what combination I do the computer not start until there are just 2 GB or less ram in slot I have 1 x 4 GB 3x2GB and 2x1GB any variation as possible, you can imagine I tried close up with the same result. If there is more than 2 GB of system ram won't start. No idea where is the problem? for 2 years this computer worked perfectly.

    PS: Does anyone know how to reflash the BIOS I have spin A12 which is the most recent, but I want to just make sure that the BIOS is not messed up. DELL utility allows not only update reflash. Does anyone know how to force the upgrade of BIOS?

    So I found the problem, it's a BIOS. I tried to reset it in PIN on MB and it did not help removed battery no change I found that the BIOS utility can be forced thru cmd. So I did and the finishing of the bios update successful she even seems scary cos for any computer freezes. but that came on and after several early I can again use all the RAM slot with what ram size I want.

    How to force the update of the BIOS...
    Open cmd as administrator
    and run the exe with command extra /forceit in my case "A12.exe /forceit".
    Voila BIOSupdate is running

    Simple but time fly. hope it helps someone too.

  • Scheduled task does not start unless I am connected

    When I schedule a task, it will run if I am connected, but if I am offline scheduler pointed out that I could not start the task.  How can I solve the problem?

    Thank you!

    I finally found out what was the problem; the program I want to run resides on a network drive, I had mapped to a network drive to the location of the file, the name of the file the task scheduler has tried to run included the mapped network drive.  When I put the absolute path to the file to execute, it worked as expected.  I discovered the problem by looking at the Task Scheduler Log, indicating that the file is not found.  The program that the Task Scheduler runs consulted files sent with the mapped network drive and it works as expected, but for some reason that task scheduler failed to start the program by using the mapped network drive.

    I want to thank each of you for your help to solve this problem.

    Thank you

  • ENVY dv6-7214nr - mSATA does not start

    ENVY of HP dv6-7214nr - 8.0 Windows (x 64)

    I installed a KINGSTON 30 GB (KINGSTON SMS200S330G) mSATA with 8.1 Pro N (x 64) Windows on this subject, to use as a boot device.

    The system recognizes the new hardware, but when I try to set the mSATA as the primary boot device, the system recognizes as a boot device. Even if I disconnect my 750 GB HDD (ST750LX003-1AC154), to see if it solves any conflict.

    No idea on how to solve this issue will be appreciated.

    It is intended to be a cache of acceleration drive. It speeds up boot time and makes the programs open faster. It allows a slow to behave more like an SSD mechanical drive. You can enable the acceleration of the program Intel Rapid Storage. It improve performance even with 16 GB of memory, even if HP will not sell it in this configuration because a 30 gig WSSD is not compatible quick start recovery from hibernation because it is not large enough to hold the entire contents of RAM and other things that the WSSD has hold.

    I have a HP G60-126NR laptop. One day she was cold stone when I press the power button / stop. I unloaded the mothboard.  I then installed a new CMOS battery. I use the power supply to the power supply adapter. When I press the power button, I get nothing toally dead, except to show the light of connection. If I remove the CMOS battery, then discharge the motherboard again, then plug in, and the portable lights without power button / stop touching and goes into the Configuration screen to access in time. After time, it starts in Windows without a problem. SFC Windows scan shows no errors. If I stop, not sleep, the laptop died again unless I dump the motherboard and start from the square. In addition, I would like to say that when Windows is running, if I close the lid to put to sleep, you can see that the screen is still active despite change 'what happens when I close the lid. My diagnosis tells me that it needs a new motherboard.

  • new laptop does not start with the boot CD or DVD disk

    HP Pavilion laptop computer g6 brand new windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.  Updates Windows, updating the Bios and Telus security installed, otherwise the system is factory.

    I'd like to partition the hard drive partitions with Partition Wizard on a boot disk, maximum because I don't need a 650 GB partition to do the maintenance on more I like to keep my data and other separate files of my operating system.

    The DVD drive is set to boot first.  The DVD player works (made recovery discs, checked the content on the CD, etc.).

    What happens when I try to boot using the CD or DVD - the DVD drive sounds like it is being accessed, then stops and I get a blue screen. This happens as well with the diskette in the partition Wizard and recovery disks.  Whenever I start even if the bios is set to boot from the first DVD I press the esc key and reset the DVD to start everything first.

    I checked the disk the wizard partition on a desktop PC and it works fine.  I updated the bios after checking on the internet, as was the fix for this issue.  It don't did not help me.

    It took me a while, but I thought about it.  The laptop and DVD player with Windows 7 can't read a bootable disc, made by another computer.  It won't even read a USB stick formatted by another computer (Windows XP).

    What a pain.

  • New player does not start after cloning?

    I'm having some problems with my hard drive, so I decided to install a new larger hard drive. I cloned my drive C using Macrium Reflect Free Edition and at first, it seemed to clone OK although I noticed that the old drive was 10mgb of used space is superior to the other.

    When I disconnected my old drive and I tried to boot from the new drive, I had a Manager directed black screen startup (?) asks me to insert a system disk and choose repair. Also, the screen said "boot selection failed because a required device is not accessible."

    When I tried to start using the drive of W7, I got the same black screen.

    If I boot using the old drive I see the new disk in drive F and it seems that all my files are there, and I can access, the data files and the system.

    When I opened disk management, both drives are shown however:

    Drive C (the old disk) Watch - healthy (System, boot, Page file, Active, Crash Dump. Primary partition).

    Drive F (the new drive)) shows only - healthy (active, primary Partition).

    Then of course some files, including the MBR were not copied. How can I copy these files to my new drive so that it starts?

    Thank you

    Tony

    Thank you for that. I had problems to get the PC to boot from the CD using the W7 installation disc but I used the recovery disc Macrium and who recreated the MBR and now everything goes well :-)

    Thanks again

  • Want to 750-055XT: new computer does not start

    The computer starts nine on eon can't. Customer support attempts were in vain. Yesterday evening was told to perform a test on the drive hard and at the request of a call, but never followed. Computer started this morning, but after a stop (stop through Windows), attempts to restart failed. 40 minute wait estimated with the horrible horrible music and recorded wife makes me crazy. Should I return it and get my back money and shop elsewhere? It was a horrible experience.

    Greetings,

    No point troubleshooting your PC isn't new.

    Return for a refund as soon as POSSIBLE!

  • New G770 does not start after installing Ubuntu

    Do not use is not Windows, I just installed Ubuntu on this new G770 wipe all the previous partition in the process.

    Now when you are powering the laptop, the power led lights up, but isn't it, no display, mechanical noises from him, nothing. Cannot access the bios.

    What is the cause and how to fix it?

    Kind regards

    I had a battery problem. Which is fixed now.

    Installation is complete on the Lenovo G770 with InsydeH2O Bios. He managed.
    Here are the steps I followed:
    The disk partition table is TPG. I created a partition fat32 in first position and set the boot flag (partition type is EFI, checked with gdisk ef00 type). Then an ext4 /, year ext4/Home and a sectoral approach.
    The installer told me that with this partition in use table format, I should normally have a separate partition for the boot loader code, also not yet would it be possible to install the boot loader for a partition. I ignored that did not create an and we went to the installation process.
    He filled out. I then installed grub-efi-amd64 and everything works perfectly on this laptop, the system now works fine.
