Did you try going to the bios and going to onboard chipset for sata  and put in AHCI mode for sat type. This has to be done for the SSD Drive to respond. Hope this helps
Not true, a working SSD will be identified by the BIOS regardless of what mode the SATA controller is set to.

  • MSI P67A-GD55 B3 cannot detect Solid State Drive

    Hello Everyone!
    I bought and installed a MSI P67A-GD55 B3, very happy about it, all perfect, with the exception that it  cannot detect the Solid State Drive (OCZ SATA II --> Vertex 2).
    The standard Hard disk (SATA II as well) works fine ...
    Anyone with the same problem? Any Idea?
    Thanks!

  • Satellite Pro S300 EZ1514 - Cannot initialize Solid State Drive (SSD)

    I have a Satellite Pro S300 EZ1514.
    Recently I purchased a SATA II Cavalry 64GB SSD to replace the current hard drive. First I tried to install XP with SATA drivers streamlined in.
    The install process recognized the SSD and did the initial file copy to it, but when it restarted to continue the install process the system would not boot from the drive.
    Then I tried installing Vista Business 64 from the recovery disk that came with the laptop.
    After initiating the recovery disk, the install process said the hard drive was not Initialized and to click OK to initialize now.
    After clicking OK to initialize the system restarted only to end up on the same screen telling me to initialize the hard drive.
    Then I tried to initialize the drive manually off of my desktop.
    Plugged it into my desktop, initialized it and formatted it to NTFS. Plugged it back into the laptop to try Vista recovery again. And yet again the same screen shows up. Plugged the SSD back into the desktop only to find that the drive was no longer initialized and had to be initialized again.
    Then I gave up and installed the SSD to my desktop as primary boot and it installed perfectly fine with XP. For testing purposes I then put the ssd with the pre-installed XP back into the laptop to see what happens. To my dismay the laptop would not boot and on top of that when I put the SSD back into the desktop only to find that the drive was no longer initialized and I had to reinstall XP again.
    Conclusion:
    It seems that the Satellite Pro S300 series is not SSD friendly and just the post it self de-initializes the Solid State Drives.
    This seems like the logical conclusion as the SSD works perfectly fine on my desktop and the laptop is fine now with the old spinning hard drive back in.
    Anyone else have this problem or a solution?
    I would still like to put the SSD into my laptop for power saving.

    Im using AHCI mode, but for testing I tried both and neither one worked. My bios is already up to the latest version and unfortunately the Cavalry site does not have any firmware updates yet. Again I don't think the drive is bad cuz it works perfectly fine on a desktop that had the same intel chip set and SATA controller. I think it's the custom boot agent that Toshiba uses at boot. Anyone know how to disable that agent and the intel boot agent as well? I read somewhere that the agents are not needed for the boot process and that in some cases they do cause issues like mine.

  • MOVED: MSI P67A-GD53 P67 cannot get sound nor internet

    Ok, do you see the Realtek HD Audio correctly installed in your Device Manager?
    When you plug speakers into MoBo, do you get a auto pop-up dialog from Audio Manager?
    If not, you have to click yellow folder (in the upper right corner on the picture below) and to enable that dialog.
    Does Realtek Audio Manager see anything connected to your board?
    On my picture you can see 5 jacks faded,  but one ( green) in which I have speakers connected is in full colour.
    When you right-click you mouse on that jack , it has to be dedicated to 'front speaker out'.

    Tried all ways to reset cmos, battery out and polarity swapped, jumpers to pos 2/3, cmos clear button, none of these resolved the problem so have RMA'd my board, all I can say is avoid the 1.8a (b10) bios like the plague

    If you have or can borrow a digital multimeter, please check the DRAM V. at the V-Checkpoint. It may need to be set higher. For DDR3, 1.575v's is the upper end of the 1.50v. standard. 1.65v's is considered the maximum.
    I'm taking a guess that OC Genie set my DRAM V. a bit too high:

    When I went to change Intel SVID to APS, I noticed that the feature was set completely to disabled. Is it safe to change to APS from Disabled?

    NovJoe@ it is showned as limited connectivity. It does say that there is a LAN plugged in, but with no internet connection.
    There is a green light in middle, which is stable and a orange light on top which is blinking. It is the same as when it's working.
    If the connection shows limited connectivity, your system is actually hotwired to the router already and the hardware are fine on your system.
    What causes this to happen are 2 scenarios, one of them may need you to configure your IPv4 LAN Protocol aka I.P. address, Gateway, Subnet and DNS address in your LAN Properties. The other may be due to the Network Filtering which your router may be configured to control the access of systems accessing it, at the same time, it may also be configured to do DHCP I.P. address allocation for the pre-configured MAC addresses. In other words, you need to configure either your LAN properties in Windows or your router or both, in-order to allow your current system to be allowed to access for Internet connectivity.

    I suggest that you test with one piece of RAM at a time. It may be a RAM problem.
    Do post the code of the BSOD here to let us identify what the exact problem may be.

  • Toshiba Solid State Drive Not Detected

    Sony Ultrabook Model: SVT131B11L
    Micro Toshiba Solid State Drive 256 GB
    Laptop can not find the OS anymore, Hard Drive not being detected in BIOS.
    Able to remove the Micro SSD and connect it externall to a computer.
    Any recomendations on how to extract the Data?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.
    If it's a European model, you could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

  • Old MacBook Pro boots no further than the apple image and the ball spins aimlessly as if it cannot detect the hard drive

    My old MacBook Pro displays the apple image on start up then hangs with the ball spinning continuously. Seems it cannot detect the hard drive. Can I start up holding down certain keys to bypass the problem. Running snow leopard and don't have a start up disk.

    Try the procedures in this support article;
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    You may also use the original install disk.  When you get to the point where the menu bar shows on top of the display, select Utilities.  The open Disk Utility from the drop down menu and try to repair the disk.
    Ciao.

  • MSI GX720 and 32GB MLC Mini PCIe Solid State Drive

    I know that there is a spot on my motherboard inside my laptop for 32GB MLC Mini PCIe Solid State Drive,  has anyone tried installing one and successfully installed an OS?  thanks for the replies.

    I thought you just put one in where you normally put a wireless network card.  There is two slots for mini pcie on the MB.  This is not a typical ssd drive.  It is one that go in the netbooks.

  • What are the advantages of a solid state drive?

    I was considering upgrading to a solid state drive in my Mac Mini, but was wondering what all the advantages are. Does it mainly deal with boot times, or does it actually make programs run faster? The reason I ask is most videos I see only show boot times, and also I was under the impression that once a program is up and running it uses RAM to operate more than it does the hard drive.
    So is a Solid State Drive worth it in terms of speed, beyond just boot times?
    Thanks in advance for any insight.

    The Fusion Drive that came in my Mac  Mini from the factory is a combination of a 128GB SSD and 1TB HD, but OS X treats the two as a single device. OS X has long had a feature where the most active files are moved to that part of the drive that has the fastest access times. That offered some improvment in disk I/O. In the case of the Fusion drive, the fast part of the drive is de-facto the SSD portion of the combination. In theory the Fusion Drive provides the speed of an SSD with the relatively low cost capacity of the HD. In practice, and after some runtime experience where the OS measures file activity and moves the most active files to the SSD there is an obvious improvement in overall system performance and the cost is bearable.
    Kevin Fromcamarillo mentioned the OWC upgrade and IMO it is a good one. There are articles around that will tell you how to format and configure an SSD and HD to be a Fusion drive. I have not tried that so I cannot say whether it is as good as the Apple factory Fusion drive or not. Personally I think the Fusion drive concept is like a hybrid automobile. An intermediate step until technology brings the cost down and capacity up enough to make them fully competitive. That time is coming sooner rather than later. Notice Appe is not even offering HDs on some models and instead going to all SSD. I don't think it will be too long before I am tryng to move my Fusion drive into an external enclosure and replacing it with a high capacity SSD.
    A caveat with the Fusion drive. If you use third party volume repair and maintenance utilities, be absolutely sure the version you hvae is certivied compatible with a Fusion drive. Even when apps are certified compatible, that compatibility may not indlude all of their functions.

  • What is largest solid state drive I can install in MacBook Pro 8,2?  I want to perform a clean install of Mavricks and dump my old hard drive.

    What is largest solid state drive I can install in MacBook Pro 8,2?  I want to perform a clean install of Mavricks and dump my old hard drive.

    If the bank account permits, I suggest getting a 1 TB SSD anyway.  One cannot have too much storage. 
    Unless you are having issues with your current installation, a 'clean' install is not necessary.  It would be more efficient to clone your current drive to the new SSD, test it, and then do the swap.  The installation of Mavericks over Snow Leopard can be done either before or after the cloning process.
    Ciao.
