Install mSATA drive in card reader slot of M92P small form factor

I thought it would be a wonderful idea to install a SSD in my M92P SFF. Seems I can't do that unless I ditch my installed hard drive as there is no second drive slot. So now I'm left with the option of installing an mSATA drive. The manual says I need a "storage converter" with a mini PCI Express slot.. Where, oh where, do I get one of these 'cause it certainly did not come installed on my machine? Anybody have experience installing one of these puppies? Thanks in advance.

After doing some research on the message, I came across this post.
Apparently, your PC has a smart card optional system (maybe it was government surplus).

Now, if you can get into the BIOS menus, if you look at the top of page 8, you will see what you need to do in order to enable/disable the smart card reader message.

Whatever the problem is, it is a security setting issue, and clearing the CMOS or updating the BIOS will not have any effect on that setting.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with the security settings or protect tools software on HP business PC's.
I have a dc7800 (and only use HP business desktops and notebooks), so I am very familiar with all the other aspects of the PC, but that one.
You may want to post your issue on the HP business support forum, business PC section. Hopefully someone there has experience with turning this feature on or off.

You may also want to log in and reply to that post, but don't get your hopes up that it will be answered.
RichS hasn't replied to a post in 3 years. Although someone else may.
Good luck, and please post back if you find the solution to the problem.

No sound output on installing a hdmi support graphics card on HP Compaq dc5800 Small Form Factor

when i inserted a HDMI support graphics card on g-force nvidia on my HP Compaq dc5800 Small Form Factor no audio output was availabe i need a support for this problem

You will have to switch the sound Playback from Speakers to the Digital Audio output.
Disconnect the speakers from the default output at the rear of your PC. Sound will be output through the HDMI cable to the device it is connected to if the video device has HDMI sound capability. If you have it connected to an HDTV it should not be an issue. All you will have to do is use the TV's menu to accept the computer input instead of cable.

Inbuilt speakers, microphone & SD card reader slot is not working from day one

Dear friend
I bought my HP mini (model no. Hp Mini 110-3009TU; Sr. No. CNC02139GY) on 14th august 2010 from Home Comforts, MP Nagar Bhaopl, Madhya Pradesh, India. I bought it without any operating system and installed Linux [Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)] on it. I'd like to inform you that it has two problems form day one.
First problem is with inbuilt speakers & microphone, which are not functioning. However my headphone are working with this laptop. So I believe there is no problem with sound related driver. I think it is a hardware problem.
Second problem is in SD card reader slot, which doesn't read inserted SD card.
I've gone to HP service centre situated in MP Nagar, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Experts over there said that they'll have to formate existing operating system (Linux) and need to install Windows to 'check' whether the said hardware(speakers, microphone & SD card reader) are working or not. Otherwise I've to bring one more laptop so same brand and same model, then only they can check by replacing parts.
Both the options they'd given were ridiculous! I didn't understood why they are forcing me to install Windows?
If HP is also selling laptops without any operating system, then it means the costumer is free to install any operating system of his/her choice. And why should I bring one more laptop? Doesn't your service centre equipped with proper instruments and expertise to check hardware of a laptop?
Pretty girls working in your service centre were totally unaware of card reader – how does it functions?
Even they didn't had any SD card to insert and check.
One among them told me in soft voice: “Sir, you'll have to purchase one 'Jack' for this.” When I inquired further what is 'Jack' and why should I have to purchase it when all other laptops doesn't need such jack? She gone mute as my inbuilt speakers.
Even if I do allow your service centre to install Windows to try out whether speakers, microphone and card reader is working or not, its sure 'experts' at your service centre will install pirated version of Windows. Is it not a malpractice? Does HP allow its service centre to do so??
And further, even if I ignore your malfunctioning for my benefit, could your service centre assure me that inbuilt speakers, microphone and card reader will function properly in Linux as well. Because I would like to continue using Linux.
I request you to look into the matter and tell me what to do.

Anyone know how much it typically costs to replace the card reader hardware? Mine isn't reading, however I reason to believe the hardware was damaged.

Hi Noob Søren
There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
Hope this helps

How to remove SD Card from the Card Reader slot - Satellite A100?

Hi,
Is there anyone to help me? I inserted a 64 MB SD card in the card reader slot of my Toshiba A100 model. It's the first time i have inserted the card. The card is inside the slot. I can not take it out! I don't have any idea how to remove the card from the card reader slot. I can see the contents of my SD card, can open the files too. But how to remove it out from the slot. Please help me giving your idea to remove the card out from the slot.

Hi
In my knowledge the SD card slot doesnt has a any additional helps like the PCMCIA slot to remove the card.
You have to remove it simply. Try to grab the card and move it out. You can try to use the pair of tweezers. Maybe it helps

I am unable to insert the Memory Stick into the card reader slot on my HP 7510

I have three Photosmart 7510's (C311a) and one Photosmart Premier (C310a). All of these printers have the identical Card Reader slot on the lower, left front corner. ALL four printers will not accept a standard Sony Memory Stick from my Sony digital camera. In all cases, the slot has two layers for "DUO SD MMC" chips and each will accept the "Sony Memory Stick Duo" without the silver and white MSAC-M2 Adaptor. No matter what I try, the Memory Sticks will not even start to go into the slot. I have looked into the slots with a fiber=optic flashlight attachment and there appears to be no issues -- except, possibly, the separator between the upper and lower part of the two-slot opening, is a little above center in the opening. Sitting in front of the 7510, I can look into the slot and see a white or very light gray surface that is sided to side across the opening, just inside the opening. When I get down and look into the slot at about a 'flat' angle, the white surface does appear to be just high enough that it partially obstructs the lower slot -- all the way across the slot.
I have tried four Memory Sticks and two Memory Stick Duo's, with and without adaptor. NOTE that the Memory Stick DUO, when NOT in the adaptor, will fit right into the upper part of the slot. However, with the Memory Stick Duo in its adaptor, and all the other Memory Sticks I have, none of them will start inot the upper or lower 'bay' in the slot opening.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I think I will declare this discussion closed. In an earlier post I said I would need to keep working at this problem until I seized up the right setting. Well for my 1080ii XDCAM EX 35 timeline, I have alredy tried a number of settings. The source WWV is 1280x720. The problem is stuttering video losing every other frame, audio popping or audio continuously losing a greater amount of sync. I tried APPLE TV 1280x720 in Compressonr (I'm still making more, not all have been tested.) The Apple TV h.264 works. It has to be rendered. I know some will say that's not optimal. I have put a lot of time into this with no other good results so I'm accepting this for now. I might be cooking up another right now in Compressor that will work better. Thanks to the posters.

Possible to install msata drive in probook 4330s WWAN slot?

Hi,
Can someone verify if it is possible to install an msata SSD into the WWAN slot of a probook 4330s and use it as a OS boot drive?
If it is possible, is there any information on how to install this and how to enable the boot option.
Thanks.

Hi,
Your PC has a hard drive cage that will accomodate two drives. This HP How-to document starting at Removing a Drive a hard drive will show you the process for removing the hard drive cage.
If you still want to use the Expansion Bay then you will need a 5.25" to 3.5" adapter bracket. NewEgg.com would carry such a bracket. You will also need a SATA data cable. This HP How-to article will give you an idea on how to use the Expansion Bay for a 5.25" device. Check up by the existing optical drinve for a spare SATA power connector. If one is not available then you will need to use a SATA power splitter.

SD/SDHC/SDXC/MMC/MS/MS Pro card-reader slot not showing up in windows explorer.

I have a Lenovo IdeaCentre, purchased only four weeks ago. It product family is IdeaCentre k410, machine type 10089. Anyhow, the problem is: I inserted a microSD / microSDHC, both of which seem to fit into the slot fine, though neither registers under anywhere in windows explorer, neither in the root of C://, nor in any of the subdirectories, or on the main listing of mounted file systems. I used the Lenovo Driver Updater and re-installed the SD Card Reader driver, to no avail. Any help would greatly be appreciated. As well, the computer runs Windows 8, which has some features I'm unhappy with, and although this is not a windows forum and I don't mean to create a thread that deviates from lenovo-specific topics, I was wondering if there is anything in either the machine architecture or the software of Windows 8 that could hinder m in installing a dual-boot system so that I might have the option of running a variant of linux as a sub-operating system, as I did with windows XP.????? OK any help at all would be so greatly appreciated, thank in advance. I really want to be able to retrieve some writing files I have stored in that micro SDHC card. As another aside, does anyone know the max limit of RAM this computer can take and if it is DDR or some other type?

hi BrokenHalo,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Regarding your questions:
1. When you inserted the SD card, do you hear a sound that a device is inserted and under Device Manger, do you see a Card Reader?
If not, try to:
a. boot intto the BIOS by pressing F1, load defaults by pressing F9 then press F10 to save and exit BIOS.
b. Reseat the front panel connectors (see page 23 of the hardware maintenance manual)
2. To install linux (i.e. Ubuntu), see if you can install Ubuntu via UEFI. If you're unable to do so or if you want to install other OS, try to:
a. Boot into the BIOS by pressing F2 and set the following settings below
UEFI Boot Mode = Legacy
Secure Boot = Disabled (if applicable)
CSM = Disabled / Legacy or Other OS (if applicable)
OS Optimized Default = Disabled or Legacy (if applicable)
b. When finished, press F10 to save and exit BIOS then try to install Ubuntu via Wubi or insert your Windows installation disc to install a different OS.
3. As per this pdf data sheet, the Lenovo K410 has a max RAM of 8GB PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 but Crucial reports that this unit can take up to 16GB PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 - check this site.
Hope this helps

Is it possible to install a 3G SIM card reader to Satellite M645-S4070

Hi there!
I have Satellite M645-S4070 laptop with serial no. YA153766K.
It is WiMAX ready and also has a SIM card slot but does not have a SIM card reader.
I took a slight look inside and it does have something that has "3G" written on it.
Would it be possible to install a SIM card reader to my laptop?
I know, that I could also use a 3G USB modem but it would be a lot more convenient to get connection without additional devices around my laptop.
Thanks!
Taros

Hi
As far as I know there are models which supports 3G or Intel 4G WiMAX
Your unit supports 4G (WiMAX)
Im not quite sure if its possible to upgrade this unit with an 3G module but if it would be possible, this needs to be done by Toshiba authorized service technician.
By the way: your notebook belongs to the Toshiba US series and was released for the US market therefore I recommend checking the Toshiba US forum:

I have a HP Media Center m7050y (PX153AV) CTO Desktop PC that I've upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. I'm trying to get my card readers driver. Is there one specifically for Windows 7, or is there one that worked with previous Windows editions that I should use?

PMurnane, welcome to the forum.
