Y500 SSD Leno starting problems

OK, so after trying a lot of different things, I can't seem to get this to work. What I'm trying to do, is to get my OS (windows 8) at the start of my ssd mSata (256 GB) and use the stock storage HARD drive. I want to use the SSD because I like the faster startup time and load times that accompany it.

What I tried:

(1) used a Windows 8 ISO on a usb key to install windows on the SSD drive, everything went well and the download is complete, but every time that I boot on the laptop, it gives me the ability to start from the volume 2 (OS on the SSD) or Volume7 (OS on the HARD disk) which really annoyed me (Im picky like that) so I formatted the HARD drive. This is where things are hairy. When my computer restarts have me an error trying to start up, essentially telling me that there is something on this HARD drive he had to be there, long story short, it made me factory reset my computer (the ssd remained the same since it was not outside the problem).

(2) after #1 I thought, Fine BONES may remain on the HARD disk, it is large enough to hold my stuff and this OS. But I still wanted the option to not see that Volume 7 Option, so after a bit of searching on Google I found that you can actually remove the boot option so that this doent show there are 2 choices on initialize toward the top. Tried it, didn't work, got the same error as try #1.

(3) I found a guide on these forums (http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/Lenovo-y500-COMPLETE-mSata-SSD-Installation...) on how to do what I'm trying to do. I made sure that I installed it properly, made sure that I see in my bios, and he was using the UEFI, secure boot off, start prioty defined on the ssd. I have clone 4 partitions for the SSD with Macrium Reflect. Name SSD changes it's self for Windows 8 d: drive. He gets so my hopes upward this will work. IGO to start since the SSD and nothing happens, still boots the os from the HARD disk. So I say to myself, I'll just remove the drive HARD doing so he MUST start from the SDS. I remove the HARD drive and turn on the computer, gives me an error screen blue fat fat, says that my computer is missing an important element and that I should get my computer repaired.

I don't know what to do. If I have to I will return to attempt #1 and just deal with the options Volume 2 and volume 7, but I'd really like to have rather 2nd OS gone so I can get my maximum storage out of it. Any help would be welcome. -Thank you

Unfortunately, this has not worked for me. I did all your steps but when it asked me to restart my computer to complete the migration that has nothing happened. I tried twice with no success. However on the third attempt, I did something stupid on the accident. I ment to try to copy the OS on the SSD, but what I actually did was copy the empty SSD at the disk, formatting so the HARD drive completely. Initially I capotais, but then I realized that everything what was that hinder me before (these hidden partitions of lenovo) are now gone. So I just installed windows on the computer, manually installed drivers, and everything's fine and dandy.

However, the only problem with that is I don't believe one key Recovery works more unless I can understand how to install it on the laptop.

Thanks for your help, it worked very well in a unexpected way haha.

  • HP ProBook 450 SSD cold start problem

    Hello. I recently bought new HP ProBook 450 H6P53EA with SSD (SanDisk SDSSSDHP128G) included.

    After the first commissioning of this message came:

    "Boot Device not found.

    "Please install an operating system on your hard drive."

    "Hard Disk (3F0).

     

    I just thought about it it might be true that the laptop came without OS (probably SUSE there, but I did not even notice) so I went just to install Windows 8.

    Everything works fine and I am very satisfied BUT

    my laptop is turned a few hours every time this message and the operating system cannot be started.

    After pressing enter short menu appears (with memory/disk check options I think) and I'm heading directly at the exit and when it starts up again everything seems to be ok.

    After reboot or a short period of time when the laptop is liquidated everything is always very well. So, it seems that the problem only occurs when the laptop is down for several hours. All possible solutions?

    Thank you.

I want to keep my hard drive 2 TB of storage mass (videos, music etc...) but I want to migrate my OS on my SSD.

  • Satellite L - starting problem

    I used my new Toshiba laptop about 6 months ago - no prpblems. These last days I have starting problems. I turn it on and Toshiba logo appears on the screen, and Windows does not start. Toshiba Logo remains on as frozen screen and laptop keyboard does not respond. I turn it back on works and that's okay - wimdows starts normally. Startup Repair does not detect any problems.

    What can be?

    Hi oktay,.

    What model of laptop you have exactly? I can t find this information in your ad.

    If the laptop hangs on the Toshiba logo, it has nothing to do with Windows and it s hardware related issue.
    Have you connected external devices? If Yes, remove them all and try to boot up your laptop.

    I get the message RunDLL32.exe, procedure entry point_except_handler4_common could not be located in the dynamic link librarymsvcrt.dll. What should I do?

    I had starting problems, boot loop, I think it seems to have been resolved by using the last known good configuration, but I get this popup dialog box. I've not closed for fear that it will start XP looping again.

    Hi EddieBryan,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    3. when exactly you receive the error message?

    Method 1
    Check if the problem persists in safe mode and after return with the result.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Method 2
    If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.
    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Reset the computer to start as usual
    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
    1. click on Start , then click run.
    2. type msconfig , then click OK.
    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
    3. click on the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

    Method 3

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that will search the corrupted system files and try to correct them.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD.

  • Win 7 intermittent starting problems

    My wife birhtday, I bought a new desktop PC 500-281 HP Pavillion through Win 7 clips in July of 2014. Intermittently the machine hangs at startup. Usually, he gets to "Starting Windows" screen and freezes, windows logo is not launched. When I shut off and restart, usually the screen asking if I want to start windows normally or start the Startup Repair utility. Should I choose one of these options and the machine works very well, sometimes I can shoose an option and the machine hangs again. Startup Repair shows no problem. When I'm on Windows I ran antivirus (AVG, McAfee, bitsMalware IO) analyses all upward with no problem. The machine is connected to ethernet (not wireless) a of the USB connections and: mouse, keyboard, external hard drive WD, printer Canon, Logitech webcam. All of this worked well on the old box. I have checked/updated all the drivers for external and all devices are updated. I checked the BIOS and Windows Connection Manager is the first start. This is a report of start-gel 60/40 at the moment and it happened that the staples of 14 days return policy. Any advice? My wife is extremely frustrated! (as a result so I am!)

    Hi Bob,

    I would test equipment (systems and components) to restarting your PC and pressing "ESC". A defective material is usually behind on a new PC erratic behavior. Despite a software driver problem which is very unlikely, component, causing this type of symptom can be the power supply. This point of failure (power) is not detected using HP diagnostics. If material tests pass and this isn't a software driver problem, through the process of elimination, it can be the power supply.

    In the start menu select F2 and run diagnostics.

    If all tests pass, try to use the PC with HP supplied only devices (mouse, keyboard, and Ethernet connection) to see if the system stabilizes.

    Let me know how it goes. We can try additional troubleshooting if the advice above does not help.

    Finally, you need to maybe to back up important data and do a factory restore. Then, run the system without installing any additional software and only HP devices connected.

    Always start problems? Now is the time to contact the HP Support.

  • Kingston Hyperx SSD Savage - compatibility problem of Macbook Pro start 2011

    I bought Kingston Hyperx Savage 480 GB SSD with the intention to install it into my Macbook Pro beginning 2011. but my Mac does not recognize the SSD when I connect it via USB. The strange part when I restart the Mac keeping the SSD attached to it, he acknowledged. And I can copy and paste normally. in the case where if I deleted and plugging it back in, it is appears as not counted. is there a solution for this or if I should change the SSD?

    Should work well.

    connect the USB box,

    Start DiskUtility, (a) select the drive, the long name,

    Select the partition tab in,

    partition with the Table to Partition GUID, 1 partition only, OS X Extended (journaled), give it a name (like Mac - SSD).

    After that it is ready to clone the boot disk and then swap the drives.

  • Impossible to get a new SSD to start

    My iMac 2009 HD is dead, but I had a Time Machine backup. I replaced with a new 1 TB SSD HD death and thought I just plug the TM backup and start over. Well... I guess it doesn't work like that. I tried searching the net and found instructions to supposedly solve my problem, but they have not worked. I tried to start up taking Cmnd R, but that has not worked. I'm sure I have no CD from when I bought the iMac to my boss, while the option is out. I have an old iMac (predecessor of it) that I used as a system until I could get it fixed. I "think" I inferred that I can copy somehow the OSX from the old machine, I used it on my external hard drive which has my TM backup on it. So I think I somehow transfer that to the new SSD. Is that guess correct? If so, how can I get the operating system on the external hard drive (shouldn't it already be there as part of the TM backup?). So, how do this OS on the new SSD?

    Thank you

    You formatait the new SSD?

  • Lenovo Y500 does not start

    Hello

    I've had my y500 ideapad for a few years now. One day, my computer froze completely in normal operation. I had to hold the power button to do a manual stop. After that, my computer will not turn back. When I try to start it, I see a black screen, not even the Lenovo Logo. After 30 seconds, there is a single issue of the computer. Thirty seconds later, the fan turns as if under load, then a bit later, the fan to calm down and the computer will beep again. At this point, I can adjust the brightness of the backlight keyboard, activate the backlight of the screen in and out and the lock LEDs Num Lock shift on the job before, but I can't do anything else.

    I tried to connect an external monitor to see if it's just a screen problem, but it doesn't produce any signal on the screen. Important, the same thing happens also when I try to boot in the BIOS using the Novo or F2 button.

    I discovered that by leaving the computer unplugged with the battery for a long time, I can sometimes get it to display the lenovo logo and then start to boot windows. However, he gets as far as the windows 10 logo then goes black and finally beeps, as shown above. It will not fully start in the operating system. The time it takes between the work is around 5 minutes unplugged for a few hours.

    I tried the stock bios flashing (using a USB bootable BACK player) and eventually managed to Flash the bios, but the problem persists. In the rare cases where the computer starts up, I can get to the bios, but as soon as I reboot, it goes back to the black screen.

    I also tried holding down the power button while up to a minute while the computer is disconnected without battery. This seems to have no effect on the amount of time it takes between two attempts to start succesfull.

    So is - anyone help me? From what I've seen, the problem seems to be deeper than the bios (as evidenced by no change after the flash bios). What I can do about it, or I'm on a laptop?

    I finally diagnosed it as the video card. After I reinstalled windows, the computer starts normally and work, but the video card is turned. No video, blue lines outside the screen. I ordered a replacement motherboard, which is about the only way to fix it if you encounter the same problem that I am. Do not know what started the error if. Could have gotten just old.

  • No operating system not found of starting problems

    I understand that there are other threads covering this error message, however none with this particular set of circumstances.
    Reminder: My system came with an empty msata slot that I filled with a 240 gb intel 525. I did two great patricians, loading on Windows 7 and cloning the windows installation 8 factory to another. Bios supported configuration using inherited and put my ssd as the first drive in the boot order. and as if it was magical, I could duel boot 7 & 8.
    Question: when I pulled the factory 5400 RPM drive I haven't had the no OS found message. Representing a little less a perfect starting, I went into recovery and command prompt 'bootrec (FixMbr/FixBoot/RebuildBcd)' commands. All crossed very well and after the closure of the cmd prompt window that I was given the opportunity to stop and start Windows 7 ultimate to the recovery page. Convinced that he had worked I accepted this offer and was welcomed by no operating system found once again. Confused, I went back and did cmd invites new bootrec /ScanOs and again found two.

    What I forget?

    Thank you in advance for something useful.

    Please do not take into account. Incace anyone else have this problem, I had to use the BcdBoot commands to add files of Bcd for each partition on the disk msata.

  • Mac Pro start problem

    I have a Mac Pro Tower, that will not start the first time I press the power button, the machine "lights up" in a way that the light in front comes on and I hear a click, however the fans and readers do not engage and the screen is blank. I am then forced to hold down the power button until it stops and hit the power key once again, and each time on the second time it starts. Now I use this equal parts of Mac on the Mac partition and equal parts as a PC, this problem appears when I start in two, but I put in this detail to explain another thing, I have a PC graphics card in the computer. I have all his own CUDA Driver Version that allows me to do it on the mac, but it might have something to do with it. Even if the problem persists when I have my Mac AFI graphics card in the computer as well. I also want to add some other details, nor the mac from the PC partition can go in "standby mode" or the computer goes back to be a brick with just the front light on. (Sometimes the LED keyboard works, and sometimes is not after the mode 'sleep'). In addition, if I restart the computer, it starts well the first time, as well as when I move from mac to PC partition. I tried to do resets of LANDAU and SMC and that has not worked, someone at - it ideas?

    Thanks guys for any input you may have.

    The next time that you touch inside, try to carefully remove the 3 v button cell half hidden behind the graphics card and check the required 3 Volts. If less, a new is needed. You can also use CR2032, which is used for the remote control-door garage and car-door-key original is BR2032.

    About 2 hours later, I opened the lid to take what I was doing and to a complete stop, but I got a partial summary leading to a bluescreen with the logo "XP" just to the right of Center and no home screen or directly in the Windows desktop as expected. Then, the computer does nothing.

    Seems you have to reinstall new OS.
    If you don t have disks or functional HARD drive recovery option, then I would recommend ordering the disc from here:

  • Re: Portege 3440CT - starting problems

    I received a Portege 3440CT by a former colleague. It works under Windows 2000. She has not used in more than 5 years and can't remember what the password was. I tried to log in as administrator with a blank password, but the password has not been left white (grr) so basically I can't cross the password prompt.

    Shouldn't be a problem - there are a lot of Internet password recovery tools. I did a disk using this one here: http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/ intending to boot from the disk - there is a brand USB Toshiba external floppy drive.

    HOWEVER: the Portege stubbornly refuses to do. The boot order is set to try the FDD before all other options; I manually told to boot from diskettes; There is no ignoring me and Win2K boot from the hard drive. Would be very grateful for any ideas!

    I do not have:
    a reader of CD or DVD for laptop;
    a network connection or internet on it, as far as I know;
    disk recovery or installation of Windows;
    anyway to start Windows without knowing the password.

    I have:
    USB flash drives / external hard disk drives;
    The installer of Ubuntu (although on a CD, so useless without a CD player?);
    other computers.

    Wipe the hard drive is a solution I'd be happy to see if anyone can advise me on how to do it - there is nothing important about the laptop that should be retrieved.

    Hi abi278,
    first of all: what do you think?

    -install a new os on this machine?
    -use the operating system installed?

    get rid of the operating system administrator password:
    -install the drive in another system and run norhdahls supertool > read each line which is given! It is able to check the registry to another hard drive as the boot device.
    -make an installation of xp on another machine, sysprep this installation and change drive hard back
    -install the drive in another system and make it bootable with back, copy the source files for the system of desires and run the installation after you reinstall hard drive to your ct 3440

    Maybe you need a special player to install...

    BTW: nordahls disc resets passwords * inside * your operating system - read the manual of this powerful tool.

  • Starting problem with a Satellite A75-S226

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A75-S226, recently bought application

    My problem is that whenever the computer cover is closed, it I cannot restore the operating system. So, I have to turn off the computer and try to start again. This is where the problem occurs when I try to start, the fan will start briefly then turns off, the screen remains black and there is no sound, the pulp and power lights are on and green and the circle around the power button is blue. I can't open the CD player or get no response from keyboard and mouse.
