E130 - Migrate WIn 7 Pro to SSD

Hi!
I have a Lenovo Edge E130 and I have recently inserted a 128 GB SSD into the extra mSATA slot in addition to the 500 GB HDD. Now I want to migrate Win 7 Pro 64 bit and my programs from the HDD to the SSD, in order to start the laptop from the SSD only in the future. The 500 GB HDD will just be used for data storage.
However, my migration efforts from HDD to SDD so far failed  I attempted it twice, using a) the migration option in Easeus Partition Master 10.2, and b) an image of partition C: from an external USB drive.
I assume that it could have failed due to the Lenovo setup of Win 7. There is a partition "Windows_7_OS" on C: and a "System_Drv" partition labeled with a "*". I don't have Win 7 installation CDs/DVDs, only those for Win 8.1, but I want to keep on using Win 7.
What do I have to do to successfully migrate Win 7 Pro 64 bit and my programs to the SSD?
Thanks for your answers!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dear Alex5723,
thanks a lot for this helpful link. Now that I am back to a running system and to the Windows desktop, I will go on following the suggestions for optimization of SSD performance suggested there.
But first I had to solve some other problems. Here's the story how I succeeded to migrate Win 7 and programs from an HDD to an SSD, both of which now run parallel in my Lenovo E130 with Win 7 on the SSD:
1) I installed the 128 GB SSD into the additional mSATA slot.
2) Using the existing Win 7 system on the HDD, I chose Acronis True Image 2015 (free demo version available) to save an image of partition C: (OS and programs) to an external USB drive.
3) Next I created an Acronis rescue CD. 
4) I have shut down the laptop and removed the HDD.
5) I booted from the Acronis rescue CD and copied the saved image to the new SSD.
6) Then I restarted and changed the boot sequence to first boot from the SSD and started windows. This stopped after a while before getting to the desktop with a blue screen telling me Windows was not genuine (build 7601). My Win 7 Pro 64 bit is genuine (pre-installed OEM version). The problem was that the new OS was not in the C partition. Apparently, you can avoid such a screen when you don't assign a partition and a partition letter to the new SSD, so that the space on the SSD just remains unallocated. That's what I did (made the SSD a primary partition, partition letter was E). The very easy and quick solution to that problem is nicely described here: http://www.anotherwindowsblog.com/2011/02/windows-​7-not-genuine-after-disk-clone.html
7) Now that my desktop is back again (everything looks and works like on the HDD before), I have shut down the laptop again and reinstalled the HDD. I went on deleting the old operating system partitions on the HDD and reallocated this space to my data storage partition, but you might prefer to do something else.
8) Next step I will take is to follow the optimization of SSD performance suggestions that are included in the instructions Alex5723 referred to:

  • I want to install windows7 on my 27in iMAC. I have an OEM version of Win7 which is win pro 7, 64 bit english.  I will use boot camp to partion the hard drive for a win7 install.  Can I use this version for the installation ??

    My iMAC is a 2011 3.4 GHz intel i7 based with a 27in display.  A year ago, I bought a Microsoft win pro 7 64-bit english OEM OS to install over a newly assembled AMD PC.  I never installed it.  Now, I want to put it on my iMAC using either Apple Bootcamp or Parallels.  The win 7 OEM package has a lot of verbage about using an OEM preinstallation kit (OPK) and that it must be preinstalled on the hard drive.  Is it OK to install this win7 version following the Bootcamp instructions.?

  • *TERRIBLE* "Write" speeds w/2x Samsung 850 Pro Internal SSD (RAID-0).. HELP! ( pics)

    [url]http://imgur.com/a/5p05u[/url]
    Hello.. I was really hoping somebody could help me out with this, as I'm pretty much starting to lose hope..
    I've attached as many relative screenshots as possible, to make it easier to quickly see what's going on.
    I've got [b]2x brand-new, Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSD's[/b] installed inside my MacBook Pro.. [b]One inside the hard-drive bay, and one inside the Optical Bay[/b] (SuperDrive Bay), using an OWC Data-Doubler..
    I've got these drives configured using Disk Utility, into a RAID-0 striped configuration..
    [u]The drives are rated @:[/u]
    [b]Sequential Read:[/b] 550MB/s
    [b]Sequential Write:[/b] 520MB/s
    [img]http://i.imgur.com/sY83PX0.png[/img]
    So "theoretically", I should be achieving approximately close to double these speeds (since that's the basis behind RAID-0 configurations)
    [u]Both SSD's are connected internally via SATA-III (6Gigabit Link + 6Gigabit Negotiated Link Speed)[/u].. Both in the hard-drive bay, as well as in the Optical Bay (confirmed in pictures)..
    I'm getting [b]*EXCELLENT* "Read" Speeds[/b], yet [b]*HORRIBLE* "Write Speeds[/b].. to the point that the RAID-0 software configuration is not even achieving *near* the "Write" Speed of even one of these drives.. let alone 2 of these drives in RAID-0..
    [img]http://i.imgur.com/0jw9Z7l.png[/img]
    I've tried contacting Samsung directly regarding this issue, but since they don't exactly get along with Apple, and even more-so, dislike anything that has to do with "RAID" configurations, I was left with practically no help on that end..
    I've tried contacting Apple, who said that I'm pretty much on my own, in terms of support, since [i]they[/i] don't exactly get along with Samsung either.. and don't provide much of any support whatsoever, when it comes to third-party, hardware components that are not upgraded directly through Apple themselves.. (aka no support for user-end personal upgrades)
    Both of these drives are [b]*Brand New*[/b] directly out-of-the-box, shipped from Amazon, as "new, un-opened" items..

    I apologize in advance if there's a lot of pictures to go through, however, I know how much of a pain in the *** it can be to troubleshoot these sort of problems, let alone, try to help somebody else troubleshoot these problems while not physically being there in person.. I tried to provide the [b]most comprehensive[/b] troubleshooting steps I've taken thus far, as to hopefully make this thread as fruitful as possible, and eliminate any unnecessary steps that have already been taken..
    I've tried re-formatting and re-installing OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 several times now, hoping that maybe one of them would allow the RAID formation to work as it should, yet none so far have proven successful..
    If you have any time to look through and read this thread, I can't tell you how appreciative I'd be for your help and any advice possible that you can give me.. I do large amounts of audio processing, producing, along with many other taxing system processes, so I'd really like to get this RAID-0 configuration working as it should be..
    Please do not waste your time by bashing RAID-0 or writing an unhelpful, opinionated comment that does not move this process forward.. I understand the risks of RAID-0, I run [b]daily backups[/b], as well as having an Apple Time Capsule running in full-force, all day long.. My data is well backed-up, and I understand the risks.
    If anybody has dealt with this sort of issue before, please, give me any advice that you can.. I tried to put in the most effort possible with uploading and embedding all of these photos, as to not waste your time and to hopefully make this troubleshooting process as smooth as possible
    Thank you all so much in advance! :apple:

  • Macbook Pro with SSD 10.8 OS install CC desktop failed

    System disk (256GB SSD) has 210GB before installation process started, 16GB system DIMM available, OS is v10.8. The process of updating Creative Cloud Desktop could not be finished, system prompted warning message of "insufficient memory for app installation" even SDD still has 140GB left.

    Dear Kapil,
    I still failed to install CC desktop successfully. Same failure encountered. It looks like the installation process could not be finished for some reason, the storage space in SSD was keeping consuming for more than 60GB. I would not believe CC desktop needs more than 60G storage for installation. I had already installed it on my Mac Pro without any problem. I tried to install it on my MBP as backup. My issue may also relate to my changing level of my subscription last week. I upgraded my subscription level from single app to full function last week by the help from Adobe Service staff. However, I still saw the older subscription was listed on my subscription list, even the service staff said he or she has already cancelled my single app subscription successfully. I started to get warning message of trial expiration soon today while I was using Photoshop CC. This did tell me my single app subscription has been cancelled. Why I still saw it in my subscription list? It is really confusing.

    Kapil,
    I had ever tried the process you suggested days ago by referring to closer issue reported in forum. However, I still encountered same failure after doing so. I will re-valid your suggestion after returning home tonight. I am afraid it related to SSD. Many thanks.

  • Is it available to replace DVD driver in MacBook Pro with SSD 512GB Crucial m4 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb?

    I'v external DVD driver and I'd like to replace DVD driver with in MacBook Pro with SSD 512GB Crucial m4 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb.  Is it available? All your opinions are welcome.

    Here is a post from another thread on this problem.
    So here's the deal, don't expect SATA III devices to work on the optical port.  I just went thru this on both my 2009 and 2012 13" MBP's.   The 2009 is SATA II (3Gps) and the 2012 is SATA III (6Gps).   A SATA III SSD (OWC 6G) will only connect at 1.5 Gps on the 2009.  On the 2012, it actually connects at 6 Gps, but every drive I tried crashed (dropped drives, file errors, kernel panics), including a Samsung 830 and  Seagate Momentus XT 750.  Out of desperation, I stuck the (slow 500 Gb) Apple HD in, it connects at 3 Gps and works like a champ.   Check your System Info on SATA info.   If you have a 2009, don't waste your $$$ on high end SSDs or drives.  If you have newer, BEWARE, you're likely to have issues with high end SATA III devices.    On the bright side both Samsung and OCZ V4 work great on the main drive (450 MB/s read) and boots in 10 seconds!!      The optical drive SATA port is a major issue for everyone ( like me ) who buys MBPs because they can trip them out, this is a real nagging issue/obstacle.   This is a firmware issue that needs to be addressed by Apple. I'm hoping for a firmware update and that Apple isn't doing this intentionally.

    I have beaten my head against the same brick wall, a few years ago now, with a MBP 3,1.
    Replaced optical superdrive drive with HDD, and used external USB optical drive. I discovered that there was no way any bootable Windows CD/DVD would boot from the external burner. Tried Microsoft install disks, Paragon and Acronis. Also tried a different burner which was firewire or usb
    I ended up putting the superdrive back in the MBP and all would boot again.
    I have since heard that there are exceptions and ways round this, but you may be in same situation.
    Windows is fussy about booting from external optical drives.

  • New Macbook Pro:  To SSD or not to SSD?

    Hello All,
    It has been a while since I have been in the market for a new computer. I've managed to hang on to my 12-in. PowerBook G4 since 2003! Alas, it's time for an upgrade, now that the new 2010 line of MBPs have been released.
    So far, I'm leaning towards getting the 15" i7 2.66 Ghz, with an 8 GB RAM. My dilemma is whether to stick with the 500 GB HDD that it comes with or "upgrade" to Apple's stock Solid State Drive. I'm not a techie, but I've been reading a little bit about the pros and cons of SSDs. It's a pricey option (especially for the top-tier 512GB), so I thought it merited further consideration.
    I'm particularly interested in your thoughts about the longevity of these drives (decay, degradation?), SLC vs MLC drives, and whether or not Apple's stock SSD drives are a good value overall. (Anybody know which brand(s) Apple uses?)
    The salesperson with whom I spoke at the Apple store didn't seem to know much about the machine's internals. I've had much better success searching answers in these discussion boards, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Your experienced and thoughtful insight is always appreciated. Thanks in advance!
    Cheers!

    I have the 13" 2.53 Macbook Pro with SSD configured from the Apple Store (I think I paid $600 extra). It is only up to you to decide whether an SSD is worth the price for you. Frankly, given my usage I don't know how an SSD makes things better other than:
    1) Making me feel secure moving the machine when using it or using it during turbulence in airplanes ...
    2) Instant open of applications
    Would I envision today buying a computer without an SSD? NO. To me, the level of comfort from the two advantages I listed above is worth the expense. I am not sure I would pay some $1350 extra for the 512 GB though. But I might.
    The SSD supplied by Apple was a Samsung. Could other brands be less expensive? Perhaps. But I don't see how any other SSD could be faster +for my needs+. It is not that I keep writing huge amounts of data to my disk all the time. You can think of it that way: An SSD is at the very least an option that improves the overall experience and comfort (including a sense of security) and in this respect, given certain usage patterns (mine), the ones Apple uses are good enough.

  • How to migrate win 8.1 from sata hard disk to ssd

    I brought an Intel SSD 730 480GB 5GBs Sata 3
    I also brought  a RAID CARD SYBA| SYPEX40039 bootable. attached the ssd to that.
    I like to migrate the Windows volume to the SSD.
     but I have trouble to get the boot manager on to the ssd. despite not using uefi on the original install on the 1Tb drive. I can't use ghost. if I use ghost form the other partition(vista)  I can clone partition but  the 1TB is too huge to
    for disk to disk cloning to  ssd 480GB
    Can I start w 8.1 DVD to do a repair on the ssd to get the boot manager to there?

    Hi fs - ab,
    Since third party clone software frequently cause system corruption and it’s not fixable, we only recommend two ways for system installation on new hard disk: performing a clean install or using windows system image restore and both ways need reactivate
    Windows 7. And for system image restore, you can only do a system image recovery to a HDD or SSD that is the same size or larger than the one(s) included in the system image when it was created. You will not be able to do a system image recovery to a smaller
    HDD/SSD. If the HDDs/SSDs are larger, then you will have "unallocated" space afterwards that is left over from the difference that you can extend into.
    In that case, we VERY recommend you to perform a clean install for new hard disk.
    Note: If you decide to use windows system image to restore your computer, you need to create a windows recovery disk (drive) for entry to Windows repair environment.

  • How can I clone my old macbook to my new Macbook Pro 768GB SSD

    Hi,
    I have a 2 year old macbook and have just received my new Macbook Pro Retina dispaly with a 768gb SSD.
    How can I clone my old drive to my new Macbook as the unit is sealed so I cant ge the drive out.
    thanks.

    Bootable clones can only be used with the same model machine as there are machine specific hardware drivers involved that are different between different models of Mac's.
    Probally the fastest way would be to clone the old Mac boot drive to a external drive using Carbon Copy Cloner, then connecting it to the new Mac and booting the new Mac (first time) into Setup Assistant and then use that to "migrate" accounts and programs over. Takes a few hours.
    Transfering via Wifi does take FOREVER. like several days in some cases.
    If you have the new Mac already setup, then use Migration Assitant in the Utilities folder.
    However Setup Assistant and Migrations are not perfect and tend to fail badly if you had problems on the older Mac, sometimes these problems are unseen and only until you try to use the new Mac afterwards do they appear.
    You might want to opt instead of installing the same name account on the new Mac, installing 10.8 compatible programs from original sources and then use the external clone of the old Mac drive to transfer just user files manually into the same Pcitures, Movies, Documents etc., folders.
    Since you have a SSD, you can load programs later, it's hard drives that you want to install programs before user data to run them faster.
    Get a cleaner machine doing it manaully that way and you know there is nothing nsaty hidden, like what Setup Assistant and Migrations often transfer.

  • Questions about buying a new MacBook pro with SSD

    Hello, I am about to buy a new MacBook pro. I'm going to get the 13 inch 2.8 dual core i7. I want a solid state drive also. I was going back and forth between the 128 gig or the 256 but I will probably get the 256. My computer will ship with lion but i am so confused about the TRIM support. Does lion take care of this? Dop I have to do anything like run a command or program to take care of TRIM?  Also, are solid states reliable? Should I get apple care? ( i really don't want to. Lol)

    I suggest you buy the notebook with the standard drive and the standard RAM, if you were thinking about upgrading the RAM.
    You can replace the original drive with a SSD at a lower cost then what Apple charges You can also buy RAM for a MUCH lower price.
    TRIM:
    Lion only supports TRIM natively when used with a Apple SSD. BUT, REALLY BUT, You can enable TRIM support yourself on the SSD you install. I have a SSD in my MBP that I installed and I have enabled TRIM support on it.
    Are SSDs reliable? As far as I can tell Yes they are. I have one in my Win 7 desktop PC for the last 9 months, No Problems. I have a SSD installed in my Dell Win 7 Notebook for the last 1.5 months, No Problems. I have a SSD installed in my MBP for the last month+, No problems. There are reports of SSDs failing but there are also report of standard hard drive failing all the time.
    I used Intel 320 series SSDs in my 2 Windows PCs and a Kingston V200 SSD in my MBP. I switched to the Kingston because of the price and it runs on the higher SATA III bus speed, 6GB, where as the Intel 320 series only run at the 3GB speed, SATA II.
