Anyone got a Curcial msata with windows installed working on W520?

I want to get the crucial M4 msata 256MB to put windows on (clean install), then use my 1TB HD for main drive for data (I dont want to use the optical bay for a HD).  I know its only SATA II, but it will be a lot faster than my current mechanical HD.
I cant find a single post of anyone getting an msata drive working with a W520, especially as a windows install (rather than as a cache).
Does it work?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, I have this card installed in my other W520 which replaced an Intel 310 80GB mSata card. The speed of the Crucial SSD is 30% faster on read and 130% faster on write. The Crucial M4 mSata SSD uses a Marvell controller which is superior to the Sandforce controllers used in some  other SSDs. The card is Sata-III capable, but the mSata port on the W520 is only Sata-II.

  • Has anyone got UCM 11g running on Windows 7 64bit?

    Hi,
    I've just installed UCM 11g on a 64bit Windows 7. During installation I had some issues concerning the user rights, but now almost everything works fine.
    Except of two issues:
    1. when starting the UCM (startManagedWebLogic.cmd) I get the following exception:
    !csNativeOsUtilsError!syNativeOsUtilsNotLoaded!syJavaExceptionWrapper,java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: intradoc.common.NativeOsUtilsBase.getNativeVersion()Ljava/lang/String;
    java.lang.AssertionError: !syNativeOsUtilsNotLoaded

         at intradoc.common.NativeOsUtilsBase.<init>(NativeOsUtilsBase.java:352)
         at intradoc.common.NativeOsUtils.<init>(NativeOsUtils.java:26)
    But the server is running.
    2. Fulltext-Search doesn't work.
    Message in the UI:

    As UCM is not certified for Windows 7 I'm not sure if this is a configuration issue or a generel problem with Windows 7.
    Has anyone got this installation run on Windows 7 (64bit)?
    bye Stephan...

    Assuming that you want to install the 64 bit UCM 11g version:
    Issue with installer closing screen could be related with JAVA_HOME variable or wrong java version.
    1. Check if 64 bit JDK (not JRE) is installed in a directory without spaces (not default Program Files… but something like C:\Java\).
    2. Check if windows environment variable JAVA_HOME exists and is pointing to JDK directory (like C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24)
    3. Open command prompt and check java version with: java –version. It should return “Java HotSpot 64-Bit Server”.
    A little bit more deatils here: Re: Installation issues with WebCenter UCM 11g

    When your username includes a Charakter like "acson te graf" zhere is a Problem for Windows to find your installiert-Files. Yust Build another Username like "Dummy", give admistration rights, change to this user and install iTunes on this accout. Now you can Return to your Old account an use iTunes.
    I am still surching how to change the username in Windows but still no idea.

    What do I need to do. Sent an email to Apple; but just got a computer generated response with no helpful advice.

    Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • Ive got a new pc with windows 7 and my ipod touch 4th gen is synced with my old pc ,how can i back up the photos on the ipod to my new pc ?

    ive got a new pc with windows 7 and my ipod touch 4th gen is synced with my old pc ,how can i back up the photos and music on the ipod to my new pc ?

    Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content such as music, videos, and photos synced to the device, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software available to assist you with this task.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for information.

  • HT3986 can bootcamp be used with Windows install disk on an external drive (internal is broken) ?

    can bootcamp be used with Windows install disk on an external drive (internal is broken) ?

    With Boot Camp, you must install Windows onto in internal HDD (or SSD).  If you are referring that your internal Optical drive is broken, you might be able to install Windows from an external drive, but you might not.  I have heard varying levels of success with that.  I'm not sure what the official stance is, but I do know that if youe machine shipped with an internal optical drive, then you must use that to install Windows using Boot Camp and not swap it out for a "data doubler" and try to install from an external optical drive.

  • Has anyone got the QT stand alone installer to work?

    OK, Has anyone got the QT stand alone installer to work that has a problem getting IT6 to work also?
    You can look at my original thread and see what I've been through: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=262511&tstart=0
    and now am stuck with an old version of QT and no version of IT! Can't update iPod, can't do crap. How slow can Apple be to fixing whatever bug is in IT6?! It's obvious that alot of people are having trouble and many of us are having the exact same or similar problems. Apparently a call to support is no help.
    Mark

    I didget QT stand alone to install. I had the error -3 message. I unistalled itunes and quicktime. Then I reinstalled using my orginal ipod disc. I then was asked to upgrade to ipod 6 or something. Which I did. Still got the error -3. Then I got the QT stand alone to install by it self and every thing works great now. There was some thing stating if I wanted to "Unistall QT for windows" I said yes. There were some error associated with removing "QT for Windows" during the install but after that it works great. It took something like 20 min. for it to download when it took itunes only 7 min. to download earlier.

  • Mac Mini stuck with windows install, won't boot from OSX DVD

    Ok, I just bought this mac mini from ebay, yeah i know but it was cheap. I got it and it came with windows xp installed. I thought ok, I will just pop in my snow leopard disk and get rid of windows. so i put in retail new copy of snow leopard in the drive, shutdown, power on, hold C... grey screen for a little while then into windows boot screen. Thought ok, I will try reset pram, option + command + p + r, nothing... just boots into windows. I have tried to original osx 10.4 restore disks that came with the machine with the same results. I also tried holdind D during boot with the original disks and it still does the same thing.
    I have also tried holding down option during boot, thinking it would give me my boot options, nothing still goes into windows. I am using a new aluminum white keyed usb apple keyboard and apple optical mouse, all plugged into the back of the machine.
    I don't know what to do next, if I can't find the solution it looks like i am going to have to take this thing apart and yank the drive and format it on my other machine with osx partition.
    thanks

    There's a couple more options yet.
    First, try a different USB keyboard.
    Second, when in Windows use the Bootcamp system tray utility to choose bootup from the OSX partition. You can install the Bootcamp system tray utility from the SL disk.
    Third, if you have another Mac and an appropriate firewire cable, bring the Mini up in Target Disk Mode and blat the disk that way.

  • Question for Anyone Using CS4 Production Premium with Windows 7

    I'm testing Windows 7 at home with CS3 Production Premium and have not had any issues. Of course CS4 is quite a bit different.
    Anyone using CS4 Production Premium on Windows 7 regularly? Any issues to report?
    Thanks

    Thanks for replying to my post:

    On our systems at work that have XP and Vista + CS4 Production Premium.  I've noticed this with preview files in particular and possibly some others, I don't remember. The "show only exact file" checkbox is greyed out. This is somewhat annoying because projects can have a huge number of preview files with long  cryptic names making it a pain to locate the correct one manually to get the ball rolling. If I don't think it'll take too long to re-render, I just select "skip preview files".
    We bought 3 licenses for Windows 7 and I'm encouraged by the performance, reliability and features on my home test system (RC 64) that has CS3 installed. Can't wait to get rid of XP and Vista.

  • I just got my new PC with Windows 8 and iTunes 11.0.0.163.

    I just got my new PC with Windows8, and I downloaded the latest iTunes 11.0.0.163.
    Unfortunately iTunes refuses to pick-up my iTunes library from the external hard disk drive where I keep it (to protetct her from computer crashes or theft).
    Can anyone give me a solution for this problem?
    Thanks a lot

    Yes I thought if I backed it up to this huge drive I would be safe but have lost all of my TV shows I bought, several movies I bought and some music.
    I had crashed my laptop in 2009 and they helped me recover it all and they used file extensions for the ones not located back then.
    It looks like the system better organized now but everytime I try to bring it old stuff it duplicating music not the TV or movies I bought.
