SSD for ProBook 430 G2

Hi,
I have 2 new ProBook 430 G2 on my desk.
I'm trying to clone existing HDD to Samsung EVO 250GB SDD with Samsung migration software provided along the SDD.
It's cloning ok until showing a message "Access violation at address 64D812CE in module 'Restore.dll'. Read of address 00000074"
After this notification Samsung migration application gets frozen and have to closed via task manager.
I managed to clone ProBook 450 G2 without any problems.
Called to Samsung, and they just told that maybe the new SDD is broken.
Got a new SDD, but still facing the same issue.
Any idea what could be wrong?
PC and sofware of Samsung has been updated.

M.2 (NGFF) SSD on Probook 430 G2

Hi Everyone, Just bought HP ProBook 430 G2 (HDD version - 500GB 7200rpm). There is a M.2 socket (M key) under the cover. - I would like to know this socket support M.2 SSD (B+M key) or not ? - Otherwise, only "mSATA" in bios for selection. Is this selection for boot from M.2 ?
Thanks

SSD for Probook 4540s

do probook 4540s with windows 7 ultimate 64-bit support SSD storage, and if it support, will it replace my HDD or my optical drive ?

Hi,
Normally we replace the HDD with SSD, you can use the ODD but you need more hardware for it. Replacing HDD with a SDD is very simple interms of hardware but recover software may take a bit longer. The following shows how in general which can apply to many other machines.

Probook 430 M.2 (NGFF) SSD

I recently bought a HP probook 430 G1 laptop.
It came with a standard 500GB 5400RPM HDD. I want to upgrade it with an SSD.
Obviously I have the standard option of a 2.5" SSD, but I know that this laptop has an empty slot, which should be an M.2 slot, according to its manual. Also, i know that one of the options when buying it is to buy it with an M.2 120GB SSD.
If so, I guess that it is possible to buy an M.2 drive.
However I'm a bit afraid that it won't work. Do you guys have experience with this laptop with M.2 SSD, and can tell me for sure that this option WILL work?
Thanks!
This question was solved.

You are right...the Manual says this:
M.2 SSD and WWAN devices share the same connector; therefore, you cannot install both
devices at the same time.
I would say the fact that you have a boot option for an mSATA must mean the M.2 slot and that would mean you can use it as the main boot drive and still have a regular SATA drive for storage.

SIM card for HP Probook 430

Hello.
I'm looking at buying a HP ProBook 430 (M0Q65PT). Could you please tell me if I can insert a NEXTG sim card for wireless working??
Thanks.

Hi,
Normally you must also buy WWAN card and the WWAN card must be supported by your telephone provider. By the way no option WWAN card for HP 430 [M0Q65PT] as shown:

HP Probook 430 mousepad issue

I'm having issues with the mousepad with several Probook 430. What happens is that after å while the mousepad gets choppy in the vertical direction. If i go in to the synaptics driver and reset, the problem disapears for a while. It also disapears while i hold down one of the mouse keys.
I have tried to update mouse driver and bios without luck. I've been in contact with HP support, they have changed motherboard and mousepad on one of the computers, but the issue still remains.

OK, found some kind of solution:
in battery & power saving settings there is setting for CPU maximum state. If set on 70%, then I got desirable frequencies.

Probook 430 G1 - The worst notebook I have ever had

Good Afternoon HP (or whoever may be reading this),
This email is written to address HP customer support.
I will try to keep this message as civilized as possible. I abhor people who abuse manufacturers/sellers just because they have a problem with a product. In this case however, I am beginning to reach the absolute edge of my patience, and so I beg for your forgiveness if I come across as being too blunt.
In August 2012, I purchased a Probook 430 G1, which was one of the newest batches installed with the Haswell chips back then. This was a student promotion offered by my school, Nanyang Technological University, in Singapore.
I don't really want to get into the specifics of the EXTRAORDINARY journey with this laptop, because it makes my blood boil. But the gist of the matter is this: I paid approximately SGD$1200 for this unit, a i7-4200, 4GB RAM model, hoping for a decent experience. What I got back in return was a horrendous laptop which had problems surface from the 2nd day I began to use it. That's right, 2nd day, not 2nd week or 2nd month.
I sent the laptop to HP service centre for a total of 3 times, as well as 1 time where they sent a technician over to try and resolve my problem by installing a new hard disk and then a new motherboard. Problems, not necessarily happening all at once were:
Ultra-incredibly slow performance. I would click on Settings, and it would take 5 minutes before the Power option came up, another 5 minutes before the Sleep, Shutdown, and Restart options came up, and another 5 minutes before the laptop actually shut down. Clicking on internet explorer would take 5 minutes before the browser started to open.
Screen brightness went crazy. I suppose there is a auto mechanism to change the screen brightness according to ambient light. Well, all I can say is that there were times for no reason the laptop would intermittently change brightness back and forth in a jerky manner which almost gave me an epileptic fit
Hard disc problem detected, please blah blah reset blah blah diagnostic blah blah. Every single freaking time I switched on or off my laptop, the same message would appear.
Two times when I sent the laptop for repair, and specifically on the second time, I was told that it was a hard disk problem (I don't need to know that because the computer already displayed that. Tell me something more which any 5 year old kid looking at the computer screen can read out) and that they would replace it for me. I insisted the second time that I was sure it couldn't be a hard disk problem because the first time I retreived my laptop from the service centre, the EXACT SAME PROBLEM had occured. I implored them to perform A THOROUGH CHECK ON THE LAPTOP rather than just replace the hard disk, and was told that they would. But hey when I went back to collect the laptop, guess what had been done this time? HARD DISK CHANGED AGAIN. Of course, I was delighted that they took my begging into consideration. And yes you guessed it, THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM... AGAIN happened. And so came the third repair request...
I was told that they would dispatch a technician down to my hostel (I stay on campus) to help be rectify the problem. In the first place, they did not send the technician during the time period which they promised, but I'm not too strung up over that. The technician stripped my laptop to the barebones, and said that everything looked fine, and by examination, from looking at the components, the only evidence of change over the last two repair sessions was a simple hard disk change, and that the other components had not been removed for checking or diagnostics (another indicator of A NICE, THOROUGH CHECK). So he said changing the motherboard might help, and of course I'd kill to make the laptop finally fully functional (this was already 1 year + after the original purchase. I had reverted back to using my DYING OLD LAPTOP WHICH WAS STILL BETTER THAN THE USELESS HP JUNK I HAD TO DEAL WITH)
So he replaced the motherboard and everything, but when rebooting and doing some technical stuff, he told me that a NEW ERROR HAD OCCURED, and that the diagnostics for the battery had failed. Yay. Pleased to say however, I never use my laptop unconnected to a power source so goodness, saving myself from even more horrors. Well I could make do with that right?...
And now the latest problem. Cache problems. I don't really know what that means but trying to surf the internet has been murder. 'Waiting/ trying to detect the cache' or some message like that always pops up at the bottom, SSL Connection errors, the script can't even load. Can't even connect sometimes. The screen resolution I don't even know how to describe e.t.c, e.t.c, x100. I don't want to say more, but it is UNFREAKING POSSIBLE TO USE THIS LAPTOP FOR ANY USEFUL PURPOSE.
Okay so my rant is nearly almost over. I just want to say this. I am sick and tired of travelling down from my busy schedule just to give my laptop for HP to change my hard disk so lamely like that. I am tired of trying to troubleshoot, call, find HP contacts (Probook 430 is not even recognized on the model detection page for goodness sake). For the record, I had a decent-ish experience with my previous laptop which was also HP, and generally during the 3 times I phoned in, the HP person attending to me was very accomodating, polite and sympathetic, and I cannot help but be impressed by it.
But honestly, I feel like demanding nothing less than a full refund for my $1200 because honestly, I have spent more time trying to repair my laptop than using it properly. For the record, I have never asked for a refund for anything in my entire life. This is the first time I really want to do that. I will never ever buy a HP laptop after this because this experience has been too traumatizing to describe.
HP, if you are reading this, please wake up and buck up your idea

Installing system on m.2 SSD on Probook 650 G1

I am going to buy Probook 650 G1 (L8T52ES) and I would like to buy m.2 SSD (128 or 256 GB) that would be used for system (Windows 7 or 10, I am not decided yet), keeping the 750 GB SATA for data. I have several questions:Can the m.2 SSD be used for system? Will it be detected by the Windows installer? Is there any tutorial or manual how to do this?Can this drive http://adata.com/us/ssd/feature/291 be used?If I buy a care pack from HP, will it be affected by the additionally installed m.2 SDD? Will the care pack cover also the m.2 SSD? If not, is there any way to get the notebook from HP with a m.2 SSD already included? I found some information about using m.2 SSD on Probook 650 G1 in forums, but it does not seem complete and provided solutions seem to be rather workarounds that direct methods to achieve what I am interested in.

what bios version you are using?
can you list the exact M.2 SSD (Transcend 256 GB) mode/part number?

SPACE Key on ProBook 430 G1 Stuck

I bought an HP ProBook 430 G1 in May. After a couple of months of very light use, the SPACE key on the keyboard started to get stuck constantly. For a touch typist like me this is extremely frustrating. I have two questions:
a) I live in Arcadia, CA. Is there a repair shop nearby where I can have the key fixed quickly (I'll need the laptop on a trip in a couple of weeks)?
b) If I want to fix it myself, where can I buy a spare key (or a spare keyboard)?
Thanks.

This is NOT official HP Customer Support
I, as most other persons on this forum, do not work for HP.
This is a peer-to-peer user supported forum for HP consumer class products. HP maintains no official presence on this forum and it is unlikely that HP will respond in an official capacity.
Any reply from a HP employee represents their own opinion and not that of HP's.
As this model is a business class computer, your question may be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community. You may also consider contacting the HP Business Support Center to request assistance with your question.
This may be a hardware issue, nevertheless try the following:
Try updating the drivers & BIOS from you product site.
Have you tried connecting a USB keyboard to check it if it's the board at fault here?
Try this:
Shut down the notebook
unplug the AC Adapter
Disconnect all the external peripheral devices
then remove the battery
Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds
Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter
Test for hardware issue from BIOS System Diagnostics by pressing F2 or F10 soon after restart - do component test - keyboard test.
Reboot,
Tap away at the esc key with USB keyboard as you start the notebook to see if this will launch the Start-up Menu
then select F10 to enter the bios menu
Press F5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes F9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key )
use the arrow keys ( assuming they work in this menu ) to select 'Yes' and hit enter
Press F10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Note: If you find the keys don't work in the Bios menu, then this is likely to be a Hardware issue.
This might help you:
Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 8)
OR
Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 7)
If troubleshooting doesn't work, it's probably hardware issue.

Probook 430 G1 and G2 power supply?

Pretty simple question. I have some Probook 430 G1 and G2 notebooks. I may have mixed up the chargers but I have 3 chargers here that wont work with the G1s yet are fine with the G2. Is their a difference between the 2?
Thanks

Rob.
Look on the chargers for the Volts and Amps.
Then look on the bottom of the laptops for the Volts and Amps."It may be under the battery."
The Volts and Amps on the laptop is what is required for the laptop.
Remember Volts times Amps equals Watts."V x A =W"
Let us know what you find.

How do I use my SSD for apps and HDD for documents?

Hi, everyone.
I just installed (myself) an Intel 120GB SSD into my 2011 iMac (3.4Ghz Quad-Core, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD). I kept the HDD.
I run Logic Pro 9 and have around 200GB of additional sample plugins (VSL Solo Strings, Ivory Grand Pianos, Superior Drummer, etc..) and
I want to know how I can successfully transfer the Apps (Logic, Sibelius, Pages, iTunes, etc...) onto my new SSD while keeping the plugins on my HDD and using them simultaneously.
I having been searching for a way to do this all day to no avail.
Thanks! If you can help.
p.s. since some of the apps require registration, I cannot simply drag them to my SSD from the HDD and expect them to work. I get an error.

My suggestion is to move you entire home directory on to the hdd and leave the ssd for the os and your key applications.

What is the best way to use a SSD for Photoshop/photo editing?

Computer hardware newbie here: I do a significant amount of photo editing work and for a very long time I've experienced Photoshop, Bridge and Photomatix crashing constantly (usually due to insufficient RAM) or just generally taking forever (Bridge took forever to load the thumbnail/preview extractions in a folder full of images, Photoshop took forever to save images and Photomatix took ages to load/merge a set of bracketed photos). Here are the typical error messages I'd get: http://pastebin.com/J9byczse
As a professional photographer, constantly running into that sort of thing is quite aggravating, so to hopefully avoid ever having to deal with that again I invested in a new custom built computer. It's Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with 32GB of RAM and a 240GB SSD; I'm using the 240GB SSD as my boot drive/OS, all of my programs are installed there, and the page file. My photos and data are stored on several HDDs. I have yet to install any of my photo editing software (Photoshop CS6 Extended, Lightroom, Photomatix etc) to the new computer yet since I'd like some advice first.
My basic question is this: what is the best way to take advantage of the SSD (and the computer in general) when it comes to my photo editing software?
Specifically...
1. If I have a folder of photos I'm working on, should I move it to the SSD and then work on them from there in order to take advantage of the speed of the SSD? Would this make any difference in terms of speed if the photos are located on the SSD vs. an internal/external HDD?
2. Most of what I've read online seems to recommend two separate SSDs, one for installing/booting the apps and one for cache/scratch. Does it matter if I use my 240GB SSD for both?
3. This is a fairly new computer and the SSD is already almost half full (102GB used, 120GB free) *WITHOUT* any of my photo editing software installed yet. I'm concerned about how fast that remaining 120 GB may fill up. As it fills up will I lose the speed advantage of the SSD vs. a regular HDD?
4. Sort of similar to #3, but should I bother moving any of my other non-photo editing programs/caches off of the SSD to a HDD and would there be any major difference in the speed/lifespan of the SSD if I did so? It's mostly Firefox and Chrome and their caches that I'm concerned may be a problem if they remain on the SSD.
Thanks for any help!

If you have an SSD you can run the cache and programs on the same drive. However, many recommend a scratch disk size of 100-200 gigs so that will not work here unless you opt for a larger SSD. Otherwise an internal spinner is recommended that does not contain the program files, or idealy any other files that may want to get acessed at same time (only one read/write head per drive).
With 32 gig of RAM you may not need the constant use of the scratch drive unless working on large images with lots of layers. So see no advantage to moving folder to SSD for temp work environment.
From what I read the new crop of SSD do not have the wear problems of the older versions.

How do you run to Drives on the same screen. I installed a ssd and a hhd to my mac but i can only view the content of the drive only if i boot of that drive. Im try to have my ssd for fast boots and hhd for my music,movies etc. Please help.

I installed a samsung 840 pro SSD to my primary slot and relocated my 1.5 TB HDD to a data double where my optical drive was. I transfered my apps and Mac OS X to my SSD for fast boots and all my itunes movies, music, Iphoto etc to my HDD. I rebooted off my SSD then seen all the data on my HHD itunes movies, music, iphotos etc i cannot view on my SSD. So my question is how do you view all the content on both the ssd and hdd on the same screen with having to boot off one or the other?

No, what I'm saying is that once you boot into OSX, you should be able to see both drives listed. If you don't then either OSX is hiding the other drive because it sees it as a boot drive and is trying to protect the contents from novice users or there's another problem. If it's the first thing (i.e. it's a protection thing), then your only option would be to boot into the old drive, copy off all your personal data to an external backup drive, then reboot into the SSD and go into Disk Utilities and wipe/reformat the second drive so that you can see it as a regular secondary drive. Then when you see it as that, you can copy your data back to it.
Be carefull poking around in Disk Utility as you can easily lose your data. It's possible the Mac just isn't mounting that second drive because it sees it as another boot drive. Whatever you do, don't accidentally erase it without getting a copy of your data off of it because you obviously don't have that on your SSD now.
