How do I install a 512MB SSD in my ENVY dv7-7212nr Notebook PC?

My dv7-7212nr Notebook has a 640GB HDD & a 32GB MSATA running Windows 8.1 on Intel 4-core CPU. I bought a Crucial 512GB SSD and an Install Kit with cloing software. I cloned the drive onto the new SSD with no issues. I removed the HDD and installed the new SSD.
Upon boot up got "Your PC needs to be repaired Error Code 0xc000025".
I removed the new SSD and reinstalled the original HDD and it booted up fine. I removed the HDD again and installed the new SSD but this time I also removed the existing 32GB MSATA SSD (what a pain getting to it).
Upon boot up I got "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed Error Code 0xc000225"
The new SSD shows up in the bios boot order. What am I doing wrong?

Just boot from it and select repair your computer
Here is a Microsoft tutorial:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/how-do-i-fix-a-boot-startup-problem
You are going to perform a startup repair and it should replace boot files onto the SSD. The files you cloned from the old drive onto the SSD should be enough for the repair disk to see that there is a repairable Windows 8.1 installation on the drive and put the extra files needed to boot up onto it. It could take 2 or 3 restarts.

How do I get my dv7-7212nr notebook to recognize a second HHD?

I installed a 512GB SSD as my main drive on my ENVY dv7-7212nr Notebook. I removed the partitions and formatted the original 750GB HDD. I bought the HP kit for the second drive and installed it onto the HDD.
Issue 1: There are no mounting threads in drive bay 2 for the 2 screws to attach the HDD bracket to the notebook. They are obvious in the drive one bay. Is this a factory oversight or do I need to order something else? I jerry-rigged it temporarily.
Issue 2: After I installed the formatted HDD the system would not recognize it. I can't see it in the BIOS, or Disk Manager or Disk Partition Manager Pro.
Suggestions?

Hi,
Issue 1: No, you have to by caddy and cables for the second bay. The following part would do:

Issue 2: Please fix the isue 1 first.

How can I activate my HP TrueVision webcam (HP Envy dv7; Windows 8)

I'm really losing my patience here. My laptop is brand new. I remember the first time I started it I clicked on CyberLink YouCam and the camera worked. I even took a picture with it.
Since then I am trying to activate the webcam and it is not working. I wanted to Videochat on Skype but the webcam was not activated so there was no webcam option.
I read that if you go on Facebook and click on "Change Profile Picture" and then "Take Picture" it activates the webcam, but not in my case.
When I start CyberLink YouCam it says that there was no webcam found and if I have to activate it if I have one.
So here is my question: How do I activate the webcam? Please, just give me the instructions on how that works. What button combination I have to press or whatever.
I have the HP Envy dv7-7202eg with Windows 8. Bought and used in Austria, if that information makes a difference :-)
This question was solved.

If the webcam worked before, it may be "stuck". If that is the case, then a Reset may kick it all free and you will be "back in business" in a couple of minutes. If the Reset does not fix it, there are a few more options. Stop when it works.
At the bottom is a Help Guide that goes over the testing and options that you have available from the software side to help you solve the problem.
This is a brand new system; if all else fails, please do call HP and ask for help! Just because the webcam worked before does not mean it works now. These little webcams are delicate and they can break - the wires are tiny and they can be crushed, bent, or broken at any time. If the stubborn webcam won't work, Call HP and ask for help. Something may have been missed or the little beast may be broken!

I cannot install windows 8.1 on my Envy touchsmart 15 notebook pc

I cannot install windows 8.1 on my Eny touchsmart 15 notebook pc. My current operating system is win 8. After going throught the setup and about 35% of the drivers load, I get a black screen and the install quits. I have left it on all night and still no installation. I am not sure what to do next. I have all my drivers up to date, have stopped my backup system, unplugged all my external items and stopped my firewall and antivirus.

Wish you luck. You are in good company. None of the HP ENVY series appears to be able to upgrade to Windows 8.1 and no one at HP appears to know why. In additgion, if you have looked lately, you may even find that there are no longer any drivers listed for Windows 8x64 either. Only a place to click to order (and pay for I presume) a Restore DVD. Interesting choice of options considering the TouchSmart Windows 8 x64 models do not even have a DVD player to restore From in the first place.
HP definately dropped the ball on this one a it loks like they are not even going to provide solutions for those of us under Warranty.
Error codes I get are 0xC1900101 and 0x40019
I have read others saying it is a hardware problem but HP refuses to do anything about it

How to disable touchpad when usb mouse in on HP ENVY dv7-7259nr Notebook PC‏ using Windows 7

I would like to have my touch pad disabled when using my USB mouse or otherwise be able to manually disable it. It is a pain to use when typing with the touch pad enabled but I would like to use the touch pad on occasions such as when I am traveling or if my mouse goes out. Not to mention, I would need to re-enable the touh pad if for some reason I have no mouse (keyboard shortcut?)
I am using windows 7 on my HP ENVY dv7-7259nr Notebook PC‏

This is what it looks like.
You should consider returning you notebook to the Windows 8 OS. There are many new features that it has that Windows 7 never did. Download use the free open source software called classic shell to give yourself a start button in Windows 8 that even has more features than Windows 7 start buton does. Once you use Windows 8 for a while you will enjoy it, especially the refresh feature and lower memory use.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Windows 7 drivers.

Looking for purchase a SSD drive for my DV7-7212NR but not sure what to buy.

I don't know what will fit in my laptop. Notebooks accept 2.5" drives right? Anything else I should know? I was thinking about getting this drive:

Good reviews. Good price. Good size for what I need it for.
Does it come with the cable needed to hook it up?
Thanks

How do I install Lion on a 2nd (SSD) hard drive?

I installed and formatted a 128 GB solid-state drive (SSD) on my Mac Pro. (My Mac Pro has four drives: a hard drive with Lion, a hard drive with Leopard for a legacy app, a hard drive for Time Machine, and the new SSD.) I went to the app store to download Lion to install on the SSD but I can't figure out how to download it. The download button says "Installed." Rebooting from the Leopard hard drive won't work because Lion can only be installed on a computer running Snow Leopard. (I tried to update the Leopard hard drive to Snow Leopard but for unknown reasons it won't let me.) I looked for the Lion Installer in my Downloads folder but I can't find it there. What should I do?
A good answer would be to return the SSD! I've spent hours trying to install this, to make my computer a couple seconds faster. The first 2.5" to 3.5" drive adapter didn't work because it was made for computers with cables, not for computers with sleds. Finding the right adapter was a challenge (and cost $40).

You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.

How do I install an SSD into my 2007 Macbook?

Hi All,
I did some searching online, but couldn't conclusively find a step-by-step procedure to installing an SSD into my 2007 Santa Rosa Blackbook.
My mac has been running slow, and I've upped the memory to 2gb (I will be upping it to 4 shortly), but also wanted to consider an SSD as well. I know how to physically install the SSD, but my questions are:
Will it work with my specific macbook?
I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, will that have this "TRIM" update for SSDs?
Do I have to contact Apple for a Snow Leopard boot disk?
With my mobo, is my speed limited to SATA I? I heard about a possibly way to up it to SATA II but not sure about this...(is it true?)
I heard we have to format SSDs before we can use them. If I manage to get a boot disk from Apple, can it handle the formating after turning it on with the new hard drive (through BIOS)
Lastly, any make and model you guys suggest? There's no point for me to get at SATA III, so I don't want to spend a lot of money. Let's assume 80 - 120 gb for now.
Any help or step-by-step instruction would be terrific!
Thanks a bunch!!

Hey Eric,
Thanks for the link! Though, I actually know how to physically install the SSD. It was my other questions that I'm getting puzzled by. Any ideas on those?
EDIT: Actually, it answered one of the questions about transferring my data, so cool!
Thanks!

How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 MacBook Pro?

How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 Macbook Pro, and then I hopefully can reinstall my data from my Time Machine backup?
I presume the SSD will need some type of formatting, before I can install Mavericks from the internet? Then can I use my Time Machine backup to reinstall all my other software and settings?

In order to load Mavericks the SSD will have to be formatted Mac OS Extended with GUID partition mapping

Ideally, you should clone your HD as Bimmer 7 Series explains.
However, if your computer originally shipped with Lion or Mountain Lion, a clone is not necessary to merely reinstall OS X. OS X Internet Recovery will create a recovery partition, download the installer package, and install it on a completely empty SSD or HD.
Even if your computer shipped with Snow Leopard, it may be eligible to download a firmware update that creates the same ability: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904
