Configurin​g 32GB SSD while installing new clean OS in hp envy 4-1002tx

My original HDD drive was broken. Now I have original Windows 8 Pro install disk and new HDD 500GB drive.  Original SDD 32GB drive is good. Is any way to install Windows 8 Pro to this two disk together like in one disk (SDD will be for hibernating and accelerate system operations) ? Maybe I must install Windows 8 Pro only to standard HDD drive (500GB) and later after install Intel Rapid Technology (special drivers and technology) I must create RAID disk connecting existing HDD disk with SDD disk for best performance ?
 Also I dont know how to create RAID disks..as in my bios I cant see INTEL OPTION ROM for creating RAID Volumes.
Someone please help.

Hi @cruiser91 ,
These are recoverable downloads located at the Driver page. I would install all at the driver-Chipset.
A RAID array appears to the operating system to be a single logical drive, regardless of how many individual drives are part of the RAID array. Both hard disks can be used, and while it’s advised that matching drives are used in a single array for best performance.
Thanks.

  • While installing new app prompting for Apple Id & Password

    Hi,
    Can someone help me out, I have created a new apple id and trying to install new apps(Games), it prompting for apple id & password. When I provide credentials pop up the following message "This Apple id hasn't used in iTunes store yet" .
    What should I do now? Help is much appreciated. Thanks.

    There is no fee for creating an iTunes or App Store account.  But, before you can download anything from the store, you need to associate your AppleID with a store account, which needs to include payment information.  You are only charged anything if or when you download a for fee content item or app for the first time (re-downloads of purchased content other than audiobooks is free, as many times as you wish).
    Your account will be active within moments of setting it up in iTunes, and it will work as long as your AppleID is valid (so indefinately - mine has been actice since the iTunes store first opened).
    Just for clarity - an AppleID by itself is just an identifier and is used to create accounts (and subsequently log in and use) a number of Apple services.  You use an AppleID to create accounts for the iTunes and App stores, for using these forums, as well as services like iCloud, iMessage and so forth.  The AppleID is just the identification used to create the accounts, but the service accounts need to be created before they can be used.  So you need to use your AppleID to create an iTunes store account before you can start downloading content from the store.

  • Pisox report: Cannot allocate memory - while installing new hard drive

    I have a fairly recent MacBook Pro (~2010) and installed a new Intel 510 ssd.
    When I go to format it, I receive "Pisox report: Cannot allocate memory"
    I tried formatting with an external enclosure and it worked fine, but no luck in Disk Utility or on the command line.
    I tried this in the install wizard of Snow Leopard.
    I've seen many reports of this, but no luck with any solutions.
    Thanks for any help.

    Still nothing solution except replace SATA cable?

  • Error while installing new com+ component SAP CRM Mobile Transfer 5.0

    Hello experts,
    I've upgraded crm/msa from 50sp6 to sp11. In SP11 there msa/mas use dot.net framework
    2.0 .
    For this I have to upgrade the commstation with note 1065337, but after deleting
    the com+ component DOTNET.TransSrv I cannot reinstall the new MsgTransServer.dll,
    I get error:
    you do not have permission to perform the requested action. If security is enabled on the system
    application of the targed computer make sure you are included in the appropriate roles.
    Has anybody similar problems while upgrading this ?
    I've checked MS-note 909444 for new user rights, but didn't help.
    Thanks Gerd

    Hi Siva,
    I've registered the dll with command line execution as described in
    note 1036377. This should solve the problem.
    If you have still problems with admin rights on the server have a look on
    note 1036377.

  • My iPod went flat while installing new iOS now it wont even charge. Is there anything I can do????

    My iPod went flat while iOS6 was being installed and now it shows a white screen when charging but wont take a charge. Is there anything I can do??????

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Where is OK button after checking new cartridges while installing new printer

    Am installing a new hpENVY5660 on my Apple PC Yosemite version. Things go well until I put in in new in cartridges that came with printer. Get message ink cartridges problem. Checked both cartridges and still get message that tells me to "touch OK . I've tapped everything on the screen and nothing happens. In searching a solution, I find a message saying something about if my Apple Yosemite installation is newer than the printer, it will not operate. Is this my problem or can you help me find "Touch OK? 

    Hey @mraf ,
    Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
    I understand you are getting a cartridge error that says touch ok to continue and you are not able to find the "ok" button.
    I recommend unplugging the printer for 3-5 minutes and plugging it back in. See if that message comes back. If it does let me know and we can go from there.
    Also Yosemite is compatible with this printer so don't fret about that.
    Have a good day, look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Clean Install-New SSD

    I've an early-2008 MacBook Pro and would like to do a clean Yosemite install on a new SSD before installing it in the machine.
    My question is can I do the Yosemite install from the current drive in the notebook given it's already running Yosemite?
    Many thanks in advance!

    No. Here's what you need to do. Put the SSD into an external enclosure connected to the MBP.
    Drive Partition and Format
    1.Oopen Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button.
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button. Be sure to select the external SSD as the target for the install.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How do i install os on new clean HD once swapped?

    I have new macbook pro 13" with ivy bridge released on 6/11/2012. I want to install new ssd in it. I figured out hardware procedure but need some help figuring out how to put os on new hd.
    How do i install os on new clean HD once swapped?
    MBP didn't come with installation disc, also i don't have external drive to backup restore.
    Is there any way to install os with new hd without using backup? if no, any way i can burn installation disc.

    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID  then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
    Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume.  Click on the Restart button.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.
    It's possible to make a USB flash drive installer, but it's not simple. First you need to capture a Lion installer application: Downloading Hardware Specific Lion Installers.
    Then use the following procedure:
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion.

    Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.
    You can safely give us a snapshot of your model and its current config that will allow us to deternmmine your model and its upgrade potential, plus show it you have any software that may impede any upgrades. Please download and install this free utility:

    Remember that, on leaving OS10.6.8, you lose the ability to run older softare written for older PowerPC Macs (yours in Intel-based). Programs such as Office 2004 will no longer work (min of Office 2008 needed to work on newer OS versions), and AppleWorks will stop working completely

    My Windows 7 Professional desktop system hard disk got corrupted and I took the opportunity to install an SSD for a new system disk and reinstall Windows.  The system is up and running on the SSD, with my old system disk now used for storage as it is still readable.  The only Adobe product I have reinstalled so far is Reader XI but I would like to reinstall Elements 8 and Acrobat 9 without taking up more licences as both are also installed on my laptop.  Can you point me to the best way to do this?  - Thanks
