Is it possible to install an m-sata ssd alongside the 2.5" hdd in a dm4-3114tx?

Hey guys!
As the above says, I have recently bought a DM4-3114tx and am wanting to know if it possible to install a m-sata (or otherwise) SSD alongside the 2.5" HDD contained in the laptop, and if this is possible, what would you recommend? 
Thanks in advance,

  • Is that possible to install OS X 10.6 on the newest iMac?

    I have a special software only support OS X 10.6.  So I want to know whether I can install 10.6 on the new iMac, or I have to use a virtual machine for the purpose.

    And in a virtual machine only if you have Mac OS X Server 10.6, which may still be available if you call the Apple Store. The workstation version of 10.6 is not licenced for use in virtualization.

  • Is it possible to install a different music player on the iPod

    I wonder if the music player on the iPod can be replaced?
    I am an cyckling instructor and use the iPod to play music in my classes.
    I would very much like to have the following possibilites -in landscape mode- without having to touch the iPod (all information in the same view):
    -name of the song
    -how long is a song in minutes and seconds
    -how much has been played of the song in minutes and seconds
    -how much is left of the song in minutes and seconds
    -what is the name of the next song in the playlist
    -larger letters and numbers. difficult to see when I'm sitting on the bike with the iPod one metres from me. (Cyckling in the gym).
    Can this be done?
    Can one suggest Apple to do a thing like this or can a player be developed by independent developers?
    Regards Julenissen

    correct me if i'm wrong but cant you get that information in portrait mode, by tapping the screen?
    there is no way to make the text bigger though.
    but if you want a different music player, buy a different music player. i can't see apple wanting to allow 'different' players on their products. they may consider different feature requests though.

  • Is it possible to install solaris on unformated disk?

    Hi!
    Is it possible to install solaris8 on scsi unformated disk,the new purchased one?It's gonna be the only one disk in workstation,becouse the old one faild.Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    This is a normal problem with new disks. Since I use jumpstart I have since adjusted and the server autoformats the disks for me. Since you are on a singe platform my suggestion is that you do a boot cdrom and then when the installer gets to a stopping point (at the beginning) just open a new ternimal window and then type format. All that needs to be done is labeling the drive, nothing else. Afterword you can close the window and proceed with the installation. You MUST not proceed with the install until the drive is labeled. So the second that the desktop comes up open the 2nd terminal window by right clicking the mouse and chosing host > terminal.

  • I want to replace the optical drive in my iBook with a SATA-SSD.

    I want to replace the optical drive in my iBook with a SATA-SSD (using a HDD-caddy PATA to SATA) and use that as my OS disk. Is there a speed difference between the ATA connections of the optical drive and the hard drive? Mactracker tells me that the Hard Drive Bus is Ultra ATA/100 (ATA-6), but there is no information to the Bus of the optical drive. Is it the same?

    There may be a kit from OWC to replace the optical drive in the old iBook G4 with an SSD. They have similar items for other portable Macs of the era where optical drives still were inside.
    They do have what they call a 'legacy' ATA/IDE SSD series of portable computer drive for use in older type architecture, but I don't see the kit to replace the optical drive with an SSD on the same page... They do offer a live chat on the page, though. So it is possible to ask questions and hope you get matching results...
    •OWC Mercury Legacy Pro:
    For all laptops that use a 2.5" IDE/ATA Drive
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Mercury_Legacy_Pro
    I'd considered upgrading my iBook G4 (mid-2005) 12" 1.33GHz computer with an SSD because the original 38GB HDD is rather tight with Leopard OS X 10.5.8 installed and some applications. And it has the max RAM at 1.5GB. Plus it would need a new battery since both batteries from Apple failed early on with low use cycles. I do like the idea of wear-leveling technologies in their Mercury Legacy drives. And some of the external enclosures look durable enough.
    Hopefully they can answer some questions.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Hello, I have a G5 PPC. I want to install a copy of Entourage on the second hard drive. Can I do that or will it create problems for the processor?

    Hi everyone
    I had a very old intel iMac from late 2006 which was dying now dead. I just managed to copy the Entourage folder onto an external hard drive before the iMac gave up the ghost. But I could not open the Entourage copy on the G5 PPC. each time i tried to do so the PPC copy of Entourage would open instead.I have emails on the PPC copy and do not want to lose them. I was wondering if it would be possible to install another copy of Entourage on the second hard drive? I was hoping that by doing that I could access the information from the iMac which has been copied to an external hard drive.
    Any help would be very very welcome.

    I don't think MS lets you install Entourage outside of an active system folder. However, you can install a fresh copy of Entourage on the G5's hard drive (if you have Office 2008 or lower), then use Entrouge's Import command to move the data files from the old hard drive.
    We're done this several times as we've upgraded either computers or Entourage.
    However, I think that, before you act, you should also ask in Microsoft's user forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    They are excellent and often an employee of their Macintosh unit will assist in answering.

  • Ok to installing NW 7.1 Mobile on the same server as CRM 7.0?

    Hi,
    On a physical server (HP-UX), we have CRM 7.0 (basis 7.01 SP7) installed already (development system). Is it possible to install NW 7.1 Mobile on the same server (as sandbox)? Is there any issues that you see this might cause?
    We will install the SUP and Relay server on a separate Linux box.
    Thank you for any pointers,
    -Serine

    It's not advisable to run separate installations of
    ColdFusion 7 and ColdFusion 8 single server on the same machine the
    re are several services that will try to use the same ports.
    However, you can install ColdFusion Enterprise using the
    multi-server configuration and then deploy the J2EE versions of
    ColdFusion to JRun. You can change the JVM that each instance uses
    (we recommend the latest 1.4 for CF7 and the latest 1.6 for CF8),
    and everything should run fine.
    ColdFusion itself is essentially just a J2EE application, the
    J2EE server itself is JRun 4. So the specific answer to your
    question is "don't install 2 copies of JRun 4 to the same machine".
    But yes, it's 100% possible, I'm running this configuration in my
    own development environment.

  • Can the hdd part of the fusion drive be replaced with a large sata ssd?

    Is there any technical reason why the mechanical (hdd) can't be replaced with a large sata ssd in the fusion drive setup?

    None of these replies addressed the reason for my original question.
    I do appreciate the answers however I see I should have been a bit more thorough in my query.
    I know how the fusion works.  I know you can get a 1 tb ssd with the imac.
    I also know that it is very very expensive to get a pure pcie 1 tb ssd as an option.
    The reason for my question is to see if the sata ssd which is a little slower and also much much cheaper than pcie flash ssds can be used instead of the slow
    hdd in the fusion configuration.  I have ordered the 512 gb pcie flash for my imac so I am committed to pure ssd.  I would still like to know if
    what I mentioned is possible as a much less expensive option.
    Sorry for the confusion but in a rather lengthy search throughout the net and asking Apple's Geniuses I have been as yet unable to get any answer.
    It would seem to me that using a sata ssd instead of a sata hdd would be nothing but beneficial in the fusion setup.

  • Help: Major problem installing a 2nd drive (SSD) in 2011 i5 Mac Mini

    I've installed an Intel 520 SSD in the second bay in my mum's 2011 Mac Mini. I used OWC's kit and the installation went well.
    For two days now I have tried cloning over the OS from the HDD to the SSD but I can't get the computer to boot from the SSD. I cloned using both SuperDuper and CCC. Initially I had problems getting the cloning operation to complete but I suspect that was because I forgot to turn off Spotlight on the SSD before cloning.
    Once I managed to clone the HDD (with SD), I can select the SSD under Sys Prefs - Startup Disk but the system won't boot from it. I notice this because after a reboot About this Mac reports that the HDD is the boot disk even though I selected the SSD. At the beginning of the boot, sometimes the apple symbol (on the grey) screen flickers a few times between the apple and the circle with a diagonal line through it, which I take to mean that the SSD isn't ok. Then the computer defaults to the HDD instead.
    Also, if I click Option to get the boot menu on startup and select the SSD, I will only get a grey screen with the apple symbol and the spinner. I can leave this for ten minutes without the system booting fully.
    I ran AHT (normal, not extended) but no problems are reported. Disk Utility reports no errors on the SSD.
    Then I reset PRAM and suddenly the computer booted from the SSD. Hurrah I thought, but then, equally suddenly, it failed to do so, defaulting to the HDD.
    Could it be that the Mini can only boot from one of the drive bays?
    Or is my SSD faulty? - does Intel have a special diagnostics tool perhaps? I found this page about some bug between SF2281-based drives (like the 520) and an Nvidia chipset but I'm not sure that applies to the 2011 Mini.
    I'm a bit at a loss here so would appreciate some help.
    Thanks very much in advance

    First -254 which happens right away. From googling a bit I've discovered this may have to do with having chosen the drive as opposed to the volume as source/target.
    So selecting these (but being confused as to how the recovery partition could be included in the restore if I choose only the boot volume and not the boot drive) the restore began. However it stopped after a few minutes complaining about an "input/output error". No further information given.
    Sorry, my instructions may have been too vague. Yes, when you boot into the Recovery HD on your internal HD and use the Disk Utility Restore you need to specify the Source and Destination as a volume (e.g. Macintosh HD). Don't select the drive. And make sure the SSD is formated correctly.
    With Disk Utility's Restore it does a block level copy so it's like creating an "image" in the PC world (e.g. Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image). This means you get ALL visible and hidden partitions copied over and bootable. With CCC you get a bootable clone of your OS/Apps/Data, but you can't boot to a Recovery HD on that clone. There is none. So, when you clone back to an internal drive, CCC has the Disk Center feature to create a Recovery HD on your internal drive. Disk Utility's Restore, however, clones both OS/Apps/Data and the Recovery HD to your internal drive without having to execute a 2nd step.
    Which Intel 520 Series SSD did you install? I have an Intel 520 Series 120GB SSD installed in my Mac Mini in the bottom slot (closest to the bottom opening) and my stock 500GB HDD in the upper slot (in the drive bracket).

  • Is It Possible to Install Windows 7 on a GUID Partition Table Disk?

    Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a GPT disk?
    I created a RAID 0 array on my dual Xeon 5580 system and tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit RTM. When I got to the "Where do you want to install Windows" part I used shift-F10 to open up a command window, then I used diskpart to create a GPT with the following partitions:
    Disk 0 Part 1 -  102 MB EFI System
    Disk 0 Part 2 -  128 MB MSR
    Disk 0 Part 3 -  500 MB Primary
    Disk 0 Part 4 - 7446 GB Primary
    But there was a message "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3 (show details)" - clicking on "show details" gave me "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style."
    What gives? I thought Windows Vista and beyond supported GPT.
    The problem with MBR is that you can't have a file system larger than 2 TB.

    I am trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent edition onto system that has an ASUS M3A78 Pro motherboard with 8GB of memory & an AMD Phenom II x3 2.6GHz Socket AM3 Processor
    (X3 710).
    I realize that this system doesn't support UEFI but I have an Adaptec 3805 RAID controller in this system that does support the advanced format hard drives, so I would think I should
    be OK there.
    Attached to the RAID controller are 3 - 1.5TB SATA Hard Drives in a RAID 5 yeilding 2.72TB's of usable space.
    I followed the following process to convert the array to GPT.
    I booted to the Server 2008 R2 Ent installation DVD.
    I select next at the language \ time & currency format \ Keyboard selection screen.
    Then I select the 'repair your computer' option at the following screen.
    I do not select the 'repair' (default) option, but instead select the radio button above it (I forget what that's labeled) working from memory here - which gives me the option to
    launch a command prompt.
    I launch diskaprt from that command prompt.
    First I selected the disk
    list disk (this displays the installed disks)
    select disk 0
    The I converted the disk to gpt
    convert gpt
    Then I created 200 MB EFI partition:
    create partition
    efi size=200
    Then I created MSR
    partition:
    create partition
    msr size=128
    Then I created primary
    partition:
    create partition
    primary
    ...and it took remaining
    available space to itself.
    I assigned drive
    letter C to this new first "primary" partition
    Assign letter=c
    I confirmed the order is:
    I confirmed the partition order is:
    ESP > MSR > DATA Partition
    After all of that I restart into the Windows installation and attempt to install by selecting the newly created primary partition and am presented with an error that states:
    “Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3. (Show details)”
    and the details show:
    "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the gpt partition style."
    Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    They're available now, although it's going to be a hefty price premium compared to mechanical hard drives. Right now SanDisk is only selling to OEMs (probably without a manufacturer's warranty). I'm not sure about Samsung, although I have heard of them being available for single-piece sale and warrantied by the seller. Crucial.com is supposed to be releasing them. The only ones I'm sure is being sold and warrantied by the manufacturer are from a company called Super Talent.

    It should be as easy to install as any other 2.5" SATA drive in a MacBook. I've replaced my drive myself, and it's about as easy a job as I think they could have made it. You would need a #00 Phillips screwdriver (3 captive screws on the RAM shield), a T-8 Torx screwdriver (four Torx screws holding the mounting bracket to the drive), and a coin (to remove the battery). Everything I understand about these SSDs is that it's pretty much transparent to the drive controller. It communicates with the drive like any other SATA drive and can do pretty much anything that could be done with a mechanical hard drive.
