HP 2710p + Kingston SSD SMS200S3/120G + Sintech adapter PA6007 - No detection!!

Can anybody hepl me with my problem?
I exchanged my 100Gb Toshiba MK1011GAH for the Kingston SMS200S3/120G with the Sintech adapter PA6007.
But my HP 2710P PC tablets doesnot detect the SSD.
The HP 2710P BIOS software version 1.38 made it impossible to detect the SSD.
My guestion is how to detect the SSD and enjoy the SSD.
I read on the forum about a BIOS update, which makes it possible.
Which BIOS version do I need in combination with Window XP to detect my SSD.
After that finally I can upgrade to windows 7

Here is the latest BIOS available which can be flashed from Windows XP:
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=3355645&sp...
That is about all I can think to try. I have never tried to install an mSSD adapter in one of these so I can only provide limited help and there is not going to be any official documentation on it. It either works or not.

T60 and Kingston SSD not working

Hi guys, I have small project at wok. We are upgrading our T60 hard drives with Kingston SSDs and I have to find a way of cloning and make them work together. Just so you know the T60 HDs are encrypted if that's goanna make any difference.
So far I have tried couple of cloning programs ( Clonzilla and the Kingston cloning software that came with the SSD) and couple of ways to clone. I followed all the steps from http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T61-and-prior-T-series-ThinkPad/Intel-X25-M-Solid-State-Drive-SSD-won-t-... and still no success. When I plugged in the SSD in to the lap top and start it I`m getting a message "Hit any key to continue..." and from there I can not do anything. This message comes up on the screen where you can see in the left top corner " [F2] to cancel autologon".
Does anyone have an idea what I have to do to make it work?
Thanks is advance

Go to Solution.

Firstly, I have to question the logic in what your doing. You say these are "work" computers, and since you have the harddrives encrypted, I assume they contain valuable data.
Did you know that SSD drives fail about 2-3 times as often as mechnical drives, and these failures usually leave no way to slavage data. I can't imagine a reason to use them on a business computer. Currently the only advantage to an SSD is speed, so if speed is of foremost importance, and data security isn't important (such as in a gaming PC), then I'd say go with SSD, but if you want something reliable, then SSD technology just isn't there yet. Also note that most mechnical harddrive fialure with be possible to slavage data from, where an SSD failure would usually be impossible (think of trying to repair a lightbulb compared to repairing a candle).
Getting back to your question...
I'd definitely disable the encryption and try it again, also make sure you have the new ssd drive in the main drive pay when you clone the drive. Put the old drive in an ultrabay adapter or usb enclosure.
Good luck

T520 with Kingston SSD and OS Win XP Sp3 - Unmountable boot device

Hello everybody,
I have a problem with the combination of our Lenovo T520 and a Kingston SSD. The last laptop we have ordered no SSD seems to be working with the laptop. I install normally WIn Xp with SP3 the installation work very well but when I begin to install new drivers and make a restart Blue Screen with unmountable boot device. Ive tried also an Corsair SSD it results with the same effect. Do have any idea what else I can do? I've also made an bios update but that also doesn't worked very well. Do you have any other Ideas that i can try to have a better result.
Best Regards

Same problem here, spent half the day figuring out what was causing this, now I find another victim. Here's what fixed it for me: Restart WinXP with your ext. monitor connected, login to admin acct, go to "Start" menu>Control Panels>Printers and Other Hardware>NVIDIA Control Panel. Expand the Display folder on the left side and select "Set up multiple displays", then select the "Use only one display" radio button and make sure your laptop display is entered in the "Select the display you would like to use." box. Approve the changes and now it should restart without the ext. monitor connected.

MacBook Pro mid 2009 HDD to a Kingston SSD SATA drive - Problems

Hi
I own a MacBook Pro Mid 2009 and I'm running OSX Mavericks with Windows 8.1 Pro Bootcamp. I wanted to upgrade to an SSD drive and after reading the great reviews on Amazon, I purchased a Kingston 240GB SSD 2.5" V300 SATA 3.
Many of the buyers had installed the SSD drive on Macbook Pro, including "mid 2009' models without any real problems but I've just spent the best part of 3 hours trying to install the drive but so far, it has not worked and the problem seems to be that, although the Acronis True Image software that comes with the drive to 'clone' the source drive and install it onto the destination drive (new SSD drive), I get a message which states, "WARNING: After migration, the O/S will not be able to boot from the destination disk in the BIOS - If you want to boot from the destination disk after migration, you need to enable UEFI booting in your system and then restart".
During one of my first attempts to install the SSD drive, I removed the original HDD from the MBP and installed it in the supplied 2.5" caddy and and connected it to the MBP via the USB cable supplied then installed the new Kingston SSD SATA3 drive in the MBP, powered up and then rebooted. The Acronis bootable software launched and after choosing 'clone disk', cose source and destination drives, I got a message saying: "The selected disk will be migrated as is (disks layout will remain GPT)". "After operation completion, operating systems will not boot from the destination disk in the BIOS".
My system has the latest available Boot ROM Version (MBP.00AC.B03 and the SMC Version is 1.47f2 and as far as I am aware, Apple computers have no BIOS that you can access like on Windows computers and instead use EFI instead.
Both drives had Extended Journaled GUID Partitions on them and what baffles me is that other buyers of these Kingston SSD SATA3 drives appear to have managed to install the SSD drive, but I've had to give up.
I would really like to get the SSD drive working but so far I've failed. Any advice would be appreciated and I'll try it out before reluctantly returning the drive for refund.

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Yes the Acronis software is Windows but I read through a lot of reviews on the Kingston SSD SATA 3 drives Amazon and from what I can gather, after removing the original drives and installing that in the 2.5" caddy and then installing the new SD drive in the Macbook, those buyers then used the software to boot from and clone the source drive to the new drive.
I'm not sure if I mentioned it in my first post, but I did use the Disk Utility in Mac OSX and erased, formatted and partitioned the drive and then pushed CMD + R at start up but I was not able to install a copy of the OS because the drive was not recognised.
I think I also used the disk utility in Windows and then tried again in OSX but no luck. I'm no expert but as stated above, the issue seems to be that the SSD drive is not booable in the BIOS (or Mac equivalent).
The SSD drive is SATA 3 and I'm sure that the SATA ports are SATA 1 on my MBP and maybe that the problem Perhaps someone can confirm this.

Two Kingston SSD dead on Satellite L850-1PD

I replaced my mechanic hard drive with a Kingston SSD and after two months the drive just stopped working. I got my money back and bought another Kingston SSD on another supplier. After another couple of months the new drive stopped working again. I'm on the process of replacing it with a new one however, at this point, I believe that there is something wrong with the laptop causing the hard drives to fail.
If more details are needed, I can provide them.
Thank you.

I dont think that the issue could be related to the notebook.
Why should notebook break the SSD drives and how?
I mean the SSD drive is connected to the SATA controller and thats it!
What you should do is check and modify some system settings
You could disable the scheduled disk defragmentation
Disk defragmentation is only useful for common spinning HDD that have moving parts but not for SSD drive!
You should also disable indexing. Indexing is a Windows service that is designed to speed up Windows search. The indexing service automatically keeps track of the files which makes files searching faster.
But the point is that Windows indexing performs numerous small write operations and this might decrease the SSD working life.
Last but not least make sure TRIM support is enabled and you could disable, move or reduce the page file

Macbook Pro 96gb kingston SSD + 1TB WD Scorpion Blue: Harddrive Issues

Hi,
I would like to ask to following thing:
I installed the 96gb kingston SSD & the 1tb WD Scorpion Blue in my macbook pro (Mid-2008 model).
I use the 1tb as storage drive so my data gets moved to this drive. Now the following thing is happening:
When I try to play a file in itunes (.m4a audio file for example) the file gets loaded but suddenly stops playing. Same when I move large amounts of data to the hard drive it suddenly stops, the beachball pops up wait 10/15seconds and then continues.
Is there a way this can be fixed or is this a drive error? Should I check it with drive genius?
I don't have them installed in any raid or something like that. I just plugged them in and installed Leopard 10.6.7.
Greetings,
Maxime

I have to add that both drives are formatted with Journaled HFS+

Kingston SSD Drive Carrier / Bracket - Agility 4

hi everyone! this is my first post ever (excuse me in advance for its lengthiness)
this morning i went to a store to pick up my ocz agility 4 and a kingston SSD driver carrier (see below).
15 mins later: my computer would't see the new ssd
after a detour to another shop i knew that neither the kingston bracket nor my ssd were malfunctioning. the problem was (i quote freely): "the kingston bracket runs perfectly with a number of ssds and a vertex 3 (which the they tested on the spot), but not with the agility 4. controller wha wha incompatible wha. sorry."
back home i was frustrated and started fiddling around with the bracket. in the end i had the idea that the same tray that should connect the ssd with the interface in the bracket while you close that hatch could be the problem. so i bent some metal parts (the vertical one whose narrow top side you can see closest to the interface and one more you can't see) and then it worked. while this tray where you can put the ssd into is the right size it apparently is not putting all types of ssds into place, i.e. making a connection to the interface. (looots of general questions here...)
im pretty happy that it works now (very good in fact!!!).
but still - not being overly paranoid nor too much into this stuff - this does not seem to be a good (good as in: foot + shoe = (aaah) fits or car + gasoline = driving) solution.
here's my questions:
1) is there an alternative to this kingston bracket for a mac pro?
2) is there an altogether different way to get my ssd into place?
3) could there be a problem because of not perfectly locked into place connection? (system runs... i don't see sparks interface damage etc?)
looking forward to some posts!

ordered the piece you suggested - works very well. installation is easy thanks to the simple and very smart design.
some extra info: the bracket as seen above does not support the ocz agility 4 without tinkering with it. as i was told this holds true for all samsung ssds as well. the ocz vertex 3 however - for whatever reason - does work perfectly.
the problem is apparently that some ssds (agility 4, samsung models) do not lock properly into the internal interface of the kingston bracket. at first i was led to believe it is some firmware problem (so i was told twice).
thanks a lot for your tip, so far i ordered several other parts on owc.
im trying to figure out how to give you your ten points now

Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter is not detecting wifi

i am using HP PAVILION 15-E015TX. i reset my windows 8 OS recently because of some corruption of data. after resetting the OS everything is reinstalled to its original state. But the Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter is not detecting the wifi which is worked properly before resetting the OS. when i run the troubleshoot option under HP SUPPORT ASSISTANT it shows a red mark while resetting the adapter.
i want to know how can i fix it.

Rats.
I hope the replacement card fixes the problem. Over the years I have had just one bad network card -- and it drove me nuts tracking down that it was, indeed, a failed card.
Good Luck - post back if you like and let us know the results!

Lenovo b570 Kingston SSD problem

Hello, I bought this drive fron newegg a week ago: SSD KINGSTON|SV300S37A/120G R. I am trying to do a windows 7 installation but windows refuses to format partitions ("Windows could not format a partition on disk 0, Error code 0x80070057). One time it allowed me to format but it errored out at the end of installation saying it can't write to boot area of the disc. Now it consistently refuses to format any partition on that drive. I tried using diskpart tool from windows 7 repair but it fails at clean (diskpart has encountered and error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error). I simply tried to follow steps described by killbucket in this forum: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/250282-32-major-problems-formatting-partitioning-intel-windows-ins... I updated bios from Lenovo website prior to SSD installation. It worked fine with WD Blue 5400RPM drive and win 7 home. Is there any bios setting that can fix the issue? Does b570 work with SSDs? Please advise.

Yes the B570 does work with ssd's I am running a sandisk extreme right now on mine. There may have been a bios setting you have to change as I dont remember it has been a while and I do not have a bios anymore thanks to windows 8, see my other topic. Just go into your bios and see if there are any "legacy" settings around your hard drive controler and if there are turn them to sata or whatever. I would recommend downloading a linux distro called gparted. It is a live cd and it can format the hard drive any way that you want it. Just pop it in the cd drive and run it to set a new partition table (msdos) and to format it at ntfs. If you cant figure it out feel free to email me at

Is the Kingston SSD 240GB Sata3 2.5" SSDNow V 200 compatible with a LATE 2011 Macbook Pro 13?

I need to know if it is 100% compatible and not give me problems in the future.
I hope some help, thanks!!!

Kingston Hyper X is compatible with your Macbook.
Another SSD to look at is the Samsung 830 Series and Sandisk Extreme.
There are a few of us here using the Crucial M4. I have the 256GB and 512GB Crucial M4 drives.
As for the RAM. You can use Crucial, Mushkin, Corsair and Patriot.
I use Crucial on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro 15 Inch and Patriot Signature Series on my Late 2011 13 Inch Pro.
Both are 16GB with no issues. Patriot Signature Series is currently on sale for $100 (16GB)....Not sure which part of the world you live in so can't give you any stores that sells them.
In any event, good luck with your transplant.

Kingston SSD is destroyed by T60p (2100 initialization error)

It is a very well known error when you try to upgrade the thinkpad harddisk to SSD.
The SSD I bought is Kingston SSDNow V100 Series SV100S2N/64GZ 2.5" 64GB which is this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139421
My thinkpad is T60p 2007CTO. After using this SSD for 1 month without any problem, I got the error message when I reboot the system "2100: hdd0 initialization error (1)".
My system is Windows 7 professional.
This error for me, triggered by plugging the ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay with a Seagate Momentus 500G internal hard drive.
Before that, I have used the Thinkpad IDE Hard Drive Bay for a long time.
I am not sure who actually trigered the problem. Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay or Seagate Momentus 500G hard drive ?
I tried to upgrade BIOS without success. I also tried to put this SSD into external USB driver and plug it under Windows 7, Windows XP and Linux. Linux can see the partitions but cannot format or mount them. I cannot see this SSD disk using Windows disk manager. Sometimes Ican see the disk in Windows Explorer, but still cannot read the data in it.
I have read a lot of posts before I ask for help. Now, what I ONLY want to do is saving my SSD hard driver.
Any suggestion or solution would be very appreciate.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have been using the previous model (64GB Kingston V+) in an X100e with no apparently ill effects for a little over half a year now. Obiviously, different models, but I wonder if the problem is due to some failure of the SSD. I had another brand of SSD which completely failed after having more and more timeouts after about ten hours of use, so it does seem there are some new failure modes to SSDs that we may not see with conventional rotating media type hard disk drives.
Have you checked with Kingston? They may have some specific tools or recommendations for accessing data on the disk.

X61 with Kingston SSD

Hi all,
I just installed a Kingston 64 GB SSD into my laptop, replacing the old 80 GB 5400 RPM one. The drive starts up and works fine every other time. For example, if I'm running normally, and press "Restart", I get:
2100 - Hard drive initialization error
I turn off the computer manually, restart, and...it boots into Ubuntu again. This happens every other time without fail...anyone know what the problem could be?
I updated the bios, and the firmware for SSD, can someone help me resolve this?

try with various reboot param, it's a kernel parameter that has to be inserted @boot time, manually (to test it) or editing the grub.conf /menu.lst file.
try reboot=cold v.s reboot=warm and/or reboot=hard v.s reboot=bios.
I'm confident you will find the right option needed to fix your problem.

Use a kingston ssd with tx1000

I am trying to install a Kingston SSDNow 100 V+ drive into my TX1000 tablet. It fits in the sata connector but however the BIOS does not see it. Is there a BIOS version that will see this SSD? The OS currently installed is Ubuntu 11.04.

Well, thank you for your reply.... I do know how to do the actual job, it's just, I have seen articles say that Apple made Yosemite, so that non Apple Hardware, such as the SSD, might not be compatible. I know Samsung is compatible, but what I mean't was, is TRIM actually not enable when I put my new SSD in? Or is that not true, and TRIM works no matter what? I have watched the video tutorials at OWC already, and they're very helpful. Also, as you said, to enable TRIM, it'll ask to suspend Apple's security, which I don't want to do. That's why I asked, for an alternative I don't know about.... You are correct, about my wording, though. I made a mistake by saying there are blocks, so you can't use third party drives. I mean't, I heard they block TRIM, but don't block the usability of the drive. Thanks again.

SSD issues... Kingston SSD now 100 64 Gb SSD in a Mac book Core 2 Duo.

I am trying to clone my OSX 10.6.3 mac book. Its one of the first intel based mac books running on ddr2 and a 2.4 Ghz core 2 duo. After cloning the HD to the SSD using the Disk utility (restore option) my mac book will not boot on the SSD. Any suggestions? Has anyone done this before. Help is much appropriated. Thanks.

Did you first format the disk using Disk Utility?
And instead of DU, try SuperDuper for the cloning:

The wireless adapter cannot be detected.

I think there is something wrong with my laptop, but this appears to be a little confused. I buy my laptop about 1 month ago, it is Acer V17 Nitro - Black Eidtion. But two weeks ago the wireless adapter is not working (it disappeared from the adapter settings), then I reinstall the driver, it works. Howver, the problem comes back this week from Tuesday. I install the driver, it not works. So I uninstall the driver and then re-install it again, it works. But today when I open my laptop, the wireless adapter doesn't work again! And when I re-install the driver (like what I do before), it doesn't work. After shutting down for severl times, it works again! It takes me really a lot of time! I am so confused about this! Can any one help??? T.T

The problem still exists for twice. And I have send it to the repair centre twice, the first time they replace the SSD, the second they repair the wifi. And now, the third time! Sometimes it works, some time it does not work (which means when I open the laptop every time, there would be a good wifi icon or a red cross icon). When it does not work, the wireless adaptor cannot be detected at all. I have no idea of it.
