SSD Issues HP Envy 4-1101sa

Hi, I am using HP Envy 4-1101sa. It had builtin 500gb hardisk. I purchased new SSD Drive ScaDisk Ultra II 120gb n replaced it with 500gb HDD, I want my system to be more fast. I installed fresh windows on new SSD hardisk, Now I face problem of Critical Process Died every now & than, I think It might be issue of new SSD with system. there is one builin msata SSD 32gb in system as well, or I think it might be compitable issue with these 2 SSD hardrives. I have few question now. What If I remove msata would be any issue? will my system work fine without it?Is there any issue of compatibility of SSD with system or may be msata SSD?I have formated that msata as well Can I reinstall the windows in that? One more issue I face, When my pc restart sometime it doesnt detect my new SSD where the operating system is installed & it give me error no operating system found. If I restart number of time than It works. What is the best solution for me now? I am quite stuck here. Thanks Mujtaba Shuja

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 4-1101sa Ultrabook and issues with MSata. You do not see this in your service guide(page 46) as a supported drive as it is not supported with your Notebook. Your interface connection type is Sata and the Disc rotation speed is 7200 RPM or 5400 RPM. You could order parts at HP by entering in your serial number. An external Hard Drive might work better for you. I hope this helps. Thanks.

Please help! Recovery on my ENVY 4-1101SA is not completing

I have spent all day googling and searching forums and nobody seems to be having the same problem as me - so I am turning here to the community perhaps for some insight...?
My new HP ENVY 4-1101SA (with hybrid SSD/HDD drive) came with the usual preinstalled stuff that I wanted rid of so as per my usual routine, first thing I do is create recovery media (USB stick) and recover to minimised image.
Problem is that the first time I did this the installation terminated after an hour or so as "incomplete" - with three options, Save / Details / Retry. I tried to "retry" but regardless of whether i left the flash drive in, it would ask me to "insert recovery media." I was forced to reboot the machine but in doing so I can now only get back to the window saying "recovery incomplete" with those three buttons Save/Details/Retry.
I tried F9 > selecting USB and that gets me back to the recovery manager window where I can choose minimum image or full factory etc.
So I started googling on my other machine (the one I am on now) and found the suggestion that I open the recovery manager from the USB stick, go to computer checkup and select "open command prompt" then in diskpart start messing about deleting volumes.
I tried this, and as far as I can tell I have deleted all the volumes from disk 0 (the 500GB hard drive) and disk 1 (the 32GB SSD). However recovery - using any of the schemas - fails with the same error.
SO my question to the community is - please, does anyone more technically-competent know if there anything else I can try?
Thanks for the help (in advance!)

Hmm... some views but no responses yet.
Here's what I have tried:
- F10-F9 restore BIOS to factory default
- Ensuring WIFI is on after every restart during recovery
- Open command prompt from recovery manager - DISKPART, select disk 0, clean all THEN select disk 1, clean all
(after that both disks showed No Volumes when I did DETAIL DISK
I have ordered some replacement disks from HP for £33 in case my flash drve is faulty

6465b - Bios and ssd issue. Intel 520 not recognized by BIOS.

Hi,
I am writing with 2 issues.
First, BIOS issue.
BIOS F.20 for 6465b and 6565b is no longer available. The current version on HP support page is BIOS F.03. Anybody know why it was changed?
When will be released F.22 which should enable support for SATA III, as F.22 for 6x60b notebook?
Second, ssd issue, which I believe is connected with Bios.
I've bought Intel 520 120gb SSD and it is not recognized by BIOS. When I put it as primary hard drive and turn notebook on,i go 5 blink of caps + num lock, and al stuck.
I can't install system. But ssd works when in external eSATA enclosure. So it isn't ssd related problem.
I know for sure that 320, m4 are perfectly working on 6465b. Other SF drives, Force GT and Agility 3, too.
What is wrong with 520, and how it can be resolved. I think only new BIOs, unfortunately.

I can confirm that an Intel 520 SSD in combination with an HP 6465b is an issue.. The CAPS + Scroll blink 5 times while in POST. This indicates a general mainboard issue, but I am 100% sure that there is an incompatibility between the two
I have installed BIOS F.21 and the firmware of the Intel SSD is standard (errrr 300i if I'm not mistaken).
Right now the laptop is useless (it has to have a SSD drive for our developer-dudes) so I'm hoping HP will release F.22 soon.. Where did you find that F.22 will add support for SATAIII?
Stupid thing is, when I put the drive in a really old beast (HP nx7400) the SSD works without hickups.

HP Envy Select 15t BIOS/SSD Issue

Hello,
I hope this is the right forum, if not a mod can feel free to move this post. About a month ago I installed an SSD in my 15t-k000 and installed windows 7 64 bit on it. Everything is fine when the computer is up and running but occasionally when I restart/cold boot it, I get a message that says something like "No operating system detected" and then a short list of options. I have discovered that if I press F10 to open the BIOS and then simply press F10 again to save and close, the computer boots no problem. It's almost like the BIOS doesn't recognize the SSD unless I try to boot from the BIOS itself.
When I was installing windows on the computer, someone recommended that I enable "Legacy Boot" and that is still enabled in BIOS. Do I need to enable something else, or change a setting in BIOS to get it to boot directly from the SSD?
I am running the latest BIOS available in the downloads section of the main HP website.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It could be caused by a buggy firmware on the SSD. Perhaps even the BIOS could be buggy and I don't really like what HP did with the BIOS on Windows 8 laptops. They should have abandoned the mSATA RAID for cache and enable the mSATA slot for boot.

2 SSD in a Envy DV6-7331 possible?

Hi is it possible to fit 2 SSD hard rives to an Envy DV6-7331?

Hi,
It's possible. However, there is no reason for that and it could be a bit tricky as one of the SSDs must be a mSATA drive. Means you have to dismantle the top cover to access the mSATA slot. One SSD in the mSATA slot and a common hard drive is a decent config for any computer.

SSD for HP ENVY 17-j184nr

I am getting an HP ENVY 17-j184nr with the 1Tb HDD. I would like to add an SSD and make it the master drive. I have 3 questions:
1. Can the HP ENVY 17-j184nr date a second drive and can it be an SSD? I believe it can based on the compatibility report at crucial at http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=ENVY%2017-j181nr
2. If it can take an SSD what size and any recommendations on what manufacturer would be best?
3. As it is coming with Win 8 installed on the HDD I will have to switch to having the SSD as master and install Win 8 on it. Any walkthroughs on how to do this? I have not found any good resource for Win 8 and the HP ENVY 17-j184nr
As an extra upgrade question is there any significant difference between crucial memory and corsair?

Hi,
Q1: Yes
Q2: I don't think the newest laptops have any limitations so amost any SSD should work. Crucial, Corsair, Samsung or Intel are decents drives.
Q3: Samsung drives come with some cloning software for an easy OS transfer. Don't forget to disable the "Secure Boot" feature in the BIOS before you start the upgrade.
The Corsair module has a lower CL (10). Means it's faster. I would recommend Corsair modules anyway. Use them for a while and no troubles.

How do I install a 512MB SSD in my ENVY dv7-7212nr Notebook PC?

My dv7-7212nr Notebook has a 640GB HDD & a 32GB MSATA running Windows 8.1 on Intel 4-core CPU. I bought a Crucial 512GB SSD and an Install Kit with cloing software. I cloned the drive onto the new SSD with no issues. I removed the HDD and installed the new SSD.
Upon boot up got "Your PC needs to be repaired Error Code 0xc000025".
I removed the new SSD and reinstalled the original HDD and it booted up fine. I removed the HDD again and installed the new SSD but this time I also removed the existing 32GB MSATA SSD (what a pain getting to it).
Upon boot up I got "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed Error Code 0xc000225"
The new SSD shows up in the bios boot order. What am I doing wrong?

Just boot from it and select repair your computer
Here is a Microsoft tutorial:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/how-do-i-fix-a-boot-startup-problem
You are going to perform a startup repair and it should replace boot files onto the SSD. The files you cloned from the old drive onto the SSD should be enough for the repair disk to see that there is a repairable Windows 8.1 installation on the drive and put the extra files needed to boot up onto it. It could take 2 or 3 restarts.

Adding SSD cache to Envy 4t-1000

Hello, a couple months ago I purchased an Envy 4t-1000 laptop, I have since then installed an additional 4GB of RAM and have began to wonder wether it would be possible to add an SSD (in addition to my current Hard drive). I know Envy laptops can be configured to include such an SSD cache when purchased directly from HP but would it be possible for me to add it myself? Also, does anyone know the specifics (i.e. size) of the SSDs used on 4t-1000s? Thank you for any help.

See the solution here for some help and yes you may do it your self.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and/New-HP-M7-How-to/td-p/1729315
Laptop hard drivers are pretty much a standard size of 2.5 inches. Some of the larger ones are thicker because they contain more platters, but when dealing with and SSD that doesn't really apply here any way.
Post in this thread if you have any questions.
The SSD is put in place of the standard drive and your old one can be then used a storage in the secondary bay.
If you buy the drive from HP chances are that it will come with the caddy and cable.
If you purchase a retail one you will then have to buy a caddy and cable. If you need help with this I will need your full model number.

Yosemite stuck on boot screen - Possible M4 SSD issue

I had OS X Mavericks prior to installing OS X 10.10 Yosemite. I downloaded Yosemite through the App Store on to a mid-2012 Macbook Pro 13 in.
Model Name:    MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:    MacBookPro9,2
Processor Name:    Intel Core i5
Processor Speed:    2.5 GHz
Number of Processors:    1
Total Number of Cores:    2
L2 Cache (per Core):    256 KB
L3 Cache:    3 MB
Memory:    Crucial 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Boot ROM Version:    MBP91.00D3.B09
SMC Version (system):    2.2f44
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State:    Enabled
The download was fairly quick as I upgraded as soon as the update came out. It took about 30 minutes and then locked up before the next 7 minutes to finish the installation. I have FileVault turned on and would enter the password to login to the drive and my user account. The progress bar would get to 50% and then stop. I waited about 30 minutes the first time and 45 minutes the next. After multiple reboots, the same issue would happen.
I rebooted into OSX recovery system (Option-R during bootup) and was going to reinstall OSX Yosemite. After unlocking the boot drive, entering in my Apple account info, it said it was going to take a few hours to redownload and install. I stopped it 5 minutes into the download and rebooted the Mac using the OSX recovery system exit > reboot method. Luck would have it, I was able to login and complete the install. I updated all the applications to the latest version (outside of the App Store), such as Adobe, Silverlight, etc.., missed this step prior to installed Yosemite. Everything was working fine.
During normal work, I had a lot of applications open from VMware Fusion, Office for Mac, Firefox, and then when I opened Preview, the Mac crashed with the grey screen of death. When I rebooted by holding down the power button for 10 seconds, it would only let me unlock the drive and was stuck loading up to 50% without ever getting past the progress screen for 30 minutes. I went back to OSX Recovery System and performed the reinstall OSX Yosemite and backed out again as I did before thinking it would let me log in. After rebooting it failed to get past 50%. The next reboot I was able to login.
I started thinking about the 256GB M4 SSD Firmware and noticed on the http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd-firmware it stated upgrading from 040H (what I was on) to 070H would fix the following issues. Granted it stated for Windows and not Mac, after updating the firmware, I have been shutting down and rebooting without issue (crossing fingers).
The following is a summary of changes between 040H and 070H, which are independent of operating system:
Resolved a power-up timing issue that could result in a drive hang, resulting in an inability to communicate with the host computer. The hang condition would typically occur during power-up or resume from Sleep or Hibernate. Most often, a new power cycle will clear the condition and allow normal operations to continue. The failure mode has only been observed in factory test. The failure mode is believed to have been contained to the factory. This fix is being implemented for all new builds, for all form factors, as a precautionary measure. The fix may be implemented in the field, as desired, to prevent occurrence of this boot-time failure. To date, no known field returns have been shown to be related to this issue. A failure of this type would typically be recoverable by a system reset.
I upgraded the current Mac to a Crucial M4 256GB SSD and moved the stock 750GB hard drive to the cd-rom bay. I was able to install the update to 070H using an bootable USB stick and the method from http://forum.crucial.com/t5/Crucial-SSDs/Updating-firmware-on-Macs-without-a-sup erdrive/td-p/61259. I did have to disconnect the second drive (just lifted the connector to the motherboard) as it would not allow the Firmware update to start with the drive connected.
Seeing if this helps anyone else out with Yosemite locking up during a boot. I did not enable TRIM as I read it can hurt the M4 SSD since it has a garbage collection.

I rebooted my machine and was back to either getting stuck at 50% or just seeing a black screen. Both times I was using a Kensignton USB 3.0 Multi-Display Adapter as well as the Mini DisplayPort to DVI port. Once I power off (hold 10 second power button), unplug all external monitors, I'm able to boot into the OS.

Can I use a recovery disc on a new 120 GB SSD for HP Envy 17 that previously had 2 500GB RAID 0?

I currently have a HP Envy 17-2070NR. I would like to install a new SSD (120 GB) to replace one of the 500 GB HD that are currently in the laptop (the 2 drives are set up RAID 0).
If I install the new drive and remove the two old ones can I use the recovery discs to reinstall windows/drivers/default programs?

The 500GB MyBook Pro should work fine. Just be sure to use a Firewire connection (not USB) to your Mac and format the drive as Mac OS Extended - Journaled. It will come from the factory as FAT32, so you'll need to reformat it. But wait - don't reformat it until you offload the ButtonManager, FW Driver and Retrospect software. You will need the first two to install your drive.
And that's one of the reasons I stay away from the MyBook drives - they were really designed for Windows systems, not Macs. For one, they have their own FireWire drivers and I see no reason to be required to install device-specific drivers on my Mac in order to use a consumer-grade hard drive. As far as I'm concerned, that's just bad design (or, perhaps design for systems other than Macs ...).
The 500GB Lacie Big Disk did get a bunch of bad reviews. However, the 500GB Lacie d2 Extreme is the same price and has much better reviews. The Lacie d2 Extreme drives are quite reliable; I have many and not one of them has failed me over the years. The 320GB d2 Extreme is currently $140 at newegg.com. See how that compares to the price of the MyBook.

Speakers sound issue on Envy 14 Beats Edition

Hi all,
For few days now, my one year Envy 14 has a weird speakers sound issue. When the sound level passes over 50%, there is a lot of scratches and distorsion on the speaker, in that case, it is not usable at all.
Note that this issue does not happen on the jack outputs, with a headset, the sound is perfect, or it is as it also was on the speakers some days ago.
I'm posting here to be able to find the source of the issue. My Envy runs Ubuntu from the beginning, I've just tested with a old Ubuntu LiveCD and the problem is the same, so this is not a Ubuntu or software issue.
Now, my main question is does this come from the speakers themselves? From the audio board? From the main board? How can I diagnose?
Thanks for your help.

I have the same exact problem with mine. I have a problem with my webcam as well. They are both hardware problems and need to new parts. If I knew where to get them I would have have told you.

Adding SSD to HP envy J049-Tx

I use a HP envy j049-tx. It doesn't have a SSD and I'm planning to add a SSD to it.
Can you please temme which SSDs will be compatible with my system?
I'm not planning to replace the existing HDD, but just add a SSD.
Also I want to replace my existing 1366X768 screen with a touchscreen of FHD resolution. Could you please guide me through the process?

15 inch? Envy 15-j029tx, correct? There is no place to add a hard drive. If you want an SSD you are going to have to replace the existing hard drive. You can add a drive by replacing tthe DVD drive using an adapter but that is not how you want to deploy an SSD. Also you are not going to be able to add a touchscreen. Your motherboard is not set up to support it.
Post back if you still wish to proceed with the SSD upgrade.
