How do I install windows on SSD and use HDD as data + program storage?

I just bought a 240 gb SSD drive, it's installed on my X220t laptop and now I'm about to install windows onto it. Before I do that, how do I make sure that I clean install windows 7 on my SSD drive, and have my current drive set as a backup drive for data/programs that I don't use much? I need to keep the data that's on the HDD right now, can I transfer data between the drives?

yes download the ISO

  • How do i install Windows on SSD with a Fusion Drive?

    Hello everyone,
    i currently have a perfectly working iMac late 2013 with 1TB Fusion Drive.
    I would like to install Windows INSIDE A SSD PARTITION.
    Classic bootcamp will store Windows inside the mechanical hd and this slows things...
    How do i put windows inside the SSD? Does anyone have a step by step tutorial?
    Thanks.

    What is the purpose of this?
    I have my drive formatted case sensitive on purpose for more security and stability.
    Why on earth would y'all choose to do this?

    Now, how i can do in order to solve this problem.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Take a look at the admin guide (Page 75, 119, 159):
    [http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000150922010E.zip]
    If you installed a firewall on the license service computer, make sure that the firewall is not set to port 30000; otherwise, the license service cannot work.
    If you are using Port X, make sure that you open Port X and Port (X+1) in the firewall. For example, if you are using port 10000, make sure to also open port 10001.
    The default communication port is 1143.
    The default port of the SAP Business One license server is 30000 for license communication and 30001 for the license naming service

  • Setting up OSX after installing a new SSD and moving HDD to optical bay

    Hey all,
    I know there are a tonne of other posts similar to this one in here, but I couldn't find the specific answers I was looking for.
    Soon I'm going to remove my optical bay and put my current HDD in it's place, and install a brand new SSD where the original HDD once was.  I'm comfortable with the hardware installation but am wary about what to expect on first power up afterwards.
    I would like to ideally run OSX Mavericks and all of my apps (everything from Notepad to Premiere Pro) from the SSD, and leave all of my data on the HDD.  I have an early 2011 13" Macbook Pro, model number A1278.
    - When I first turn the computer on after the hardware switcheroo, what can I expect to see?  How do I re-install OSX Mavericks onto the new drive?  Am I right in thinking that Mavericks is merely an upgrade rather than a whole new OSX and that I will need to install Lion and then upgrade to Mavericks rather than just reboot immediately to Mavericks?
    - How can I then remove Mavericks from the original HDD?
    - Exactly which files do I need to move to completely relocate the apps to the new drive?  Is it as simple as moving the entire applications folder over, or are there hidden files dotted all over the place that I need to consider also?
    Thanks in advance,
    Adam

    Adam,
    if your current HDD is a SATA III (6.0 Gb/s maximum throughput) drive, then you might find that you’ll have problems with it in the Optibay position. If this is the case, you’d probably be better off putting your SATA III drive into an external enclosure, and purchasing a SATA II (3.0 Gb/s maximum) drive to install in the Optibay.
    If you have a SATA-to-USB or SATA-to-FireWire adapter, you can connect your SSD externally and format it with Disk Utility. After that, you could use a cloning utility to copy the contents of your internal HDD to your SSD (presuming that the SSD is at least as large as the amount of space currently used on your internal HDD), and then boot from the external SSD using Startup Manager to make sure that everything works well on it; that will save you from having to make sure that all of the scattered hidden files have been migrated. Once you’ve confirmed that your apps run well from the SSD, you can then install the SSD and move the HDD to wherever it’s going. An advantage of keeping Mavericks on your HDD is that you can boot from it if needed, e.g. should your SSD develop a problem.

  • Is it dffernet to install windows through parallels and use bootcamp ?????

    I've used to bootcamp install windows , Can i use parallel to use it

    If Parallels will run okay with Panther then you can install Windows into it. Parallels runs like a native Apple program on your desktop. Windows runs in Parallels the same as it would in Virtual PC. If you use bootcamp then you are setting up your Mac to dual boot Windows or the Mac OS. I have tried both and Parallels is way more convenient.

  • How to get a parameter from BPC and use it in ABAP program

    Hello gurus!
    I got a problem...
    SAP BPC will send parameters such as year, division, category, company code and so on via script logic to SAP BW.
    I need to get these parameters from BPC and use them in a ABAP program as a filter.
    This ABAP program will do several routines and return new values to BPC. It must be made on ABAP and I need to filter data to avoid performance issues.
    Does anybody knows how to do it? or have a example of it?
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Rubens Kumori

    Hello, I'm looking for a suggest.
    I need to pass two parameters (users can input them in a data manager package in bpc) to a BAdI.
    In this BAdI I write a code that store those parameters in a InfoObject.
    The problem is:
    - one parameter is for CATEGORY value. CATEGORY is a dimension of the application and I read the value with a code like this:
          READ TABLE it_cv INTO l_s_it_cv
               WITH TABLE KEY dim_upper_case = 'C_CATEGORY'.
    - other parameter is a generic DATE. this parameter is not a dimension of the application and I don't know how I can retrieve this value in BAdI.
          READ TABLE it_cv INTO l_s_it_cv
               WITH TABLE KEY dim_upper_case = '.....'.
    The data manager dynamic script is:
    PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,,"%CATEGORY_DIM%")
    PROMPT(TEXT,%SELECTED_DAY%,"Write the date (format YYYYMMDD)",)
    I also have a dynamic constant that assign the name %CATEGORY_DIM% to "C_CATEGORY" value.
    Can anyone help me?
    thanks a lot

  • My Netscape 7.2 has become very unstable and unuseable(Netscape will close now,etc.). How do I install Firefox over it and keep all my data? Thanks.

    I have XP Pro SP2, 2 gigs, AMD 64x2 5200 at 2.7Ghz. I did a reinstall of my original 7.2 setup file that I have stashed in a folder. It does not find the current mozilla folder and hence nothing works without setting up profiles etc. I was thinking for a long time of getting another browser and mail handler. I have 30 years as a computer tech and know how to use regedit and get to mozilla *.mab and *.html files in the mozilla folder.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Netscape 7.2 is a combined web browser and mail client, Firefox is just a web browser. You may want to consider using [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ SeaMonkey] instead. It is based on the same code as Firefox but also includes a built-in mail client.
    If you want to go with Firefox, see [[Importing bookmarks and other data from Mozilla Application Suite]], it shows how to import data from Netscape 7. If you want an email program as well, Mozilla's offering is [http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird].

  • How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?

    How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?
    My optical drive is non-functional and I want to dual boot with win7. The only problem is my macbook does not boot from USB at all, even when I hold th ALT key down when it is starting up.
         -I have a flashdrive with win7 on it.
         -I mounted the ISO of win7 with toast for bootcamp to do its thing.

    Good luck.
    Consider this a bump so that hopefully someone with better news spots your thread.

  • Can I install windows 7 on my portable HDD from my Mountain lion? and how i need to do it?

    Can I Install Windows 7 on my portable HDD from Mountain lion ? And how i need to do it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Because of a Microsoft restriction, Windows can't be installed on an external drive (there are workarounds, but you need Windows). Apart from that, Boot Camp only works with the hard drive where you have installed OS X, so you can't use it to install Windows on an external drive

  • How do I install windows from USB on Macbook pro 3,1

    How do I install windows from USB on Macbook pro 3,1 ?
    My Superdrive is far from super anymore, So I managed to make an extern drive with both Snow Leopard Partition, Lion Partition (Since I thought Boot Camp 4,1 would bypass my problem), and Time Machine partition, Since I got 1. USB drive that works.
    - My general issue is that Boot camp Refuse to see the USB drive - (Many "how to"´s though show how they install windows perfectly through the USB port, but they use airbooks!, and somehow the Macbook will not ?)
    I fix that issue with >> rEFIt <<, that suddenly makes it possible for the Mac to see the USB drive, and partitions.
    Which was very strange since I could use an extern HD with the whole installation to start up wipe the whole disk, and then use my extern drive with partitions to install Snow Leopard and get everything as before with timemachine. Very smart with timemachine, but very lucky that I have a extern drive that runs the whole system and that I made the partitionsdrive before. DVD-drives are the past!
    Point: So the original system could see the Snow Leopard installation USB disk, but boot camp cannot find the USB drive ?????????
    After rEFIt I booted and then I got this error:
    Starting bootmgr.efi
    Error: Unsupported while loading bootmgr.efi
    I read it could be a problem with the Windows software, so I purchased an extern DVD drive, Used Disk Utility to make an image (.DMG), then used another program to convert the .dmg to .ISO.
    Then downloaded a trialversion of vmWare fusion, and installed windows from the iso. Everything worked brilliant, except and that is why I want to use boot camp, Running windows in another program while running the mac system is a little hacky and slow.
    Point: Nothing is wrong with the windows software, and windows runs fine.
    I then downloaded the Windows DVD / USB Tool, reformatted a USB drive as Master Boot Partition, MS-Dos Fat partition, then after lots of struggling got Vmware, windows to recognise the USB drive. And installed the windows software on the USB drive, as all the walkthroughs recommend.
    Then I tried for "fun"! to just install windows form the extern USB drive, and with rEFIt it will see the drive and start to do something, but then when it starts to boot, the screen just turns into black and nothing happens, and you can see the drive does NOTHING. (I think it is because I only have 1 USB drive and the Extern DVD drive does not get enough power, but again the mac refuse to see the USB drive unless it is a Snow Leopard installation USB-drive!
    Well trying to install Windows Ultimate 64 Bit, which worked great in vmware, because that program installed from the .ISO file that I had on the desktop, but trying with Boot Camp did not get anywhere, what kind of **** program is this boot camp anyway!?, but then I try the new USB disk with windows made from windows, thorugh rEFIt, it sees the disk and then starts and then I get this ERROR:
    rEFIt - Booting Legacy OS
    Starting legacy loader
    Using load option ´USB´
    Error: Not found returned from legacy loader
    Error: Not found from LocateDevicePath
    (x 9 times)
    Error: Load Error while (re)opening our installation volume
    The firmware refused to boot from the selected volume. Note that external hard drives are not well-supported by Apple´s firmware for legacy OS booting
    (Hey Apple please send out a updated firmware that fix this issue?!)
    So how do I do it ? - or is the only option to fix the partition running the system from the extern disk. Format the whole drive in 2 from the "bottom" and install windows and then afterwards install Mac on the other partition ?  Or just run windows on the mac and forget about mac software ? What a stupid solution...

    There are strings in the pliist file to add other Macs so that you can use some USB-DVD drives.
    This is 5 page thread, so a little more 'meat' to it:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3410900?start=60&tstart=0
    And on PC booting Windows from a USB DVD to do the install is usually a piece of cake, sometimes you just need to specify that USB in the BIOS boot order and sometimes select via F12 (or another Fkey) and that is it.
    What you have here seems to be everything and everyone is excluded unless there is a  mac-model device ID string that specifies yes.  An unnecessary hurdle.

  • How do I install windows 7 drivers correctly on my macbook pro retina?

    I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) twice now, and each time I get on, none of the bootcamp drivers seem to be installed correctly.  This means I can't access the internet because a network adapter isn't present, and I can't play games because the NVIDIA drivers aren't there.  I've seen other people have had this problem in the past, but their fix was to download bootcamp 3.x from Apple's download site, but obviously that doesn't work now as the version is newer.
    Does anyone know how to correctly install Windows so this doesn't happen, or how to get the drivers installed correctly?
    Thank you very much for your time

    For 2 reasons, and they are about the hardware.
    1) Apple/Mac and BC restrict the way you use the computer. Maybe not for you but for me. It does not allow you to create any other parttitions for Windows to use. You can't even re-partition the BC partition into 2 drives. That will HOSE the Windows system and maybe the OS X part.
    2) Apple/Mac does not allow the use of all the hardware. You can not use both graphic cards. switch between them. Windows Must use the descrete graphics adapter which cause the system to run hotter. This is a limitation imposed by Apple as with Reall Windows PCs that have both the Interl embedded and add-on descrete graphics you can switch between them.
    Actually BC 4 has been out since Lion shipped on new Mac's. BC 4 also restricted the installation of Windows to just Win 7, no more XP. Which was what you could do with Snow Leopard and BC 3

  • How can i install windows games in my macbook pro

    I m a game lover but since i've macbook pro,i haven't played any game on my macbook...so guys please tell me how can i install windows games to my macbook pro.

    As eww said, that computer isn't specifically made for gaming. To get advanced graphics in a game, your computer needs what is called a "discrete" graphics processor, or GPU. This means a seperate chip that processes graphics. In Apple laptops, these are only found in the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro. It is not common to find these in laptops in general that are not expensive and high-end. What you have in yours is an "on-board" or "integrated" GPU. This means that graphics processing is done by a small portion of your main processor (the Intel i5 board). This takes away a portion of primary prossessing and dedicates it to graphics. This works perfectly find in most scenarios, but video rendering, gaming, and 3-D graphics tend to suffer. Most high-end, modern games require discrete GPUs to run at full quality these days.
    As far as running Windows 7 and Mac OS both, yes you absolutely can. If you install Windows 7 via Bootcamp (this would require you to have a Windows 7 CD), when you turn on your computer it will default to opening up in Mac OS. But if you hold down the Option key (bottom of the keyboard next to the Command button) while the computer is booting up, it will ask you if you want to open Windows or Mac OS.

    Just to be clear, Office 2010 is for Windows.  Office 2011 is for Mac.  If you actually are trying to install Office 2010, you'll need to have installed Windows on your Mac either through Boot Camp or in a virtual machine.

  • How can I create a new partition to install Windows 7 by not using Bootcamp

    How can I create a new partition to install Windows 7 by not using Bootcamp?

    If you want to dualboot you have to use boot camp i think. I think you have already a full disc and cannot make another partition I'm I right?
    Your question seems a bit blurry so I'm giving you a general tip here.
    If you want to just try the beta you can always use Sun's "Virtualbox".
