X131e 33722FU Boot from msata ssd not working

x131e 33722FU
I installed a crucial 128gb msata ssd in the full length mpcie/msata slot.  In the documentation http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&DocID=PD024828 it shows that the wwan port can be used for ssd.  I can't get the bios to boot from the ssd.  When I am in Windows I see the drive is recognized but I can't get it to boot.  My goal is to remove the factory HDD and just boot from the SSD.
Any Idea how to get this to work?

Hello,
I believe the ThinkPad X131e (MT: 3372-2FU) contains an AMD E2-1800 CPU and associated chipset.
As far as I know, mSATA functionality is currently only available on commecial systems equipped with Intel chipsets.  I did find reference to mSATA support in a few embedded systems with AMD G-series CPUs and A55E chipset used for things like industrial control systems, but it given the limited mention, it sounds like that it has not been widely adopted, even on systems that use AMD's A55E chipset.

  • Boot from mSATA SSD in Probook 650

    Hi guys and girls, Is it possible to add an mSATA (NGFF) SSD in the Hp Probook 650 G1 (F1N78EA) and boot from it? The technical manual does desribe that there is a slot for a mSATA flash cache module for Intel SRT, and that mSATA SSD's are expected later. So I assume it should work? From the specsheet: "32 GB M.2 (NGFF)Optional 32 GB mSATA flash cache module* support for Intel Smart Response Technology. (Available only with standard non-SEDhard drive.)*mSATA SSD is planned to be available in August 2013." Thanks a lot.

    I had a breakthrough. And I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier - or that HP support didn't just suggest it right away.It's a really simple solution.You can't boot from a M.2 device directly.But you can boot the M.2 windows installation from the sata connected device (hdd/ssd). So if you just install windows on the sata device first, you can utilize the 100mb system partition for all other windows versions, including any on the M.2 device. No diskpart needed (assuming you have already initialized your M.2 ssd so it can be detected in windows)No BCDboot commands needed. Tested with windows 7 sp1 x64 professional.Bios settings & my notes at the buttom.Bios settings may need to be tweaked for win8/10. Step 1: Install windows on your sata attached device (hdd/ssd).Step 2: Boot into the newly installed windows*Step 2.2: Install windows from inside your first windows installation on your M.2 device.Step 3: Reboot, boot using the OS manager (which will appear in the boot order when more than 1 OS is detected). It should be top boot priority automatically.Step 3.2: Select the correct windows installation when prompted, it should be the top one.Step 4: Delete the windows installation from the boot list using cmd->msconfig. *If you want to avoid having the optical drive taking up the D: drive-letter, change it before installing windows to the M.2 device. This is purely optional, and only meant for the drive-letter obsessive people, such as myself. I have yet to find a way to end up having the M.2 windows installation as the C: drive.Right now my M.2 SSD is the D: drive, and the HDD (containing the first windows installation) is the C: drive.  Bios settings & notes:Fast boot: enabledBoot mode: UEFI hybridSata device mode: ACHI For some reason 'startup menu delay' must not be set at 0, I have mine set at 5 seconds. At 0 seconds the system will boot 'too fast' and the M.2 device will appearently not have been switched on in time for windows booting. You will get a device-undetected error. The partition style of the sata device and the M.2 device must be the same. Either both must be MBR, or both must be GPT.I tested both MBR and GPT, they both work.

  • Booting from msata ssd

    In my Y500, I installed a samsumg 850 evo 250 GB msata ssd.I made it a GPT drive and cloned all bootsectors and the whole system from my HDD. So the Msata is now identical to the HDD (minus de D-partition for data.) But I can't boot from it. In the bios the windows-bootmanager on the ssd is recognized, but it does not function. I thought I have to rename the OS partity on the ssd  to C, but I can't rename it with any of my partition-managers (on Bootable cd's). Microsoft says that windows change the letter of the os partition to C by itself. ??I tried removing the HDD to force a boot on the ssd, then he want to "recover", but there is no recovery and I dont want to make a clean-install of  the windows 8 version of 3 years ago and reinstall all the software. I see on the forum that others got it working, but maybe not by clooning ??How to get my Y500 booting from the sdd, with the clooned OS and all software ?? 

    Thanks for replying. I gave changing the bootconfiguration an other try. although I had done it already.Results: If I use only "legacy" the bios passes both my ssd-drive and my hdd-drive and goes to network-boot (without result of course). If I choose Efi first, and put the windowsbootmanager on SSD on top, he skips it an goes to bootmanager on the HDD.The question still is: How to adapt the windows bootmanager on the ssd to make that it boots the windowspartition on the SSD ??

  • Trouble booting Windows 8 from mSATA SSD drive on HP Envy

    I’m having an issue booting Windows 8 from my mSATA SSD drive (I believe that’s the correct terminology, it connects directly to the motherboard.)  I have a HDD that, it appears to me, it is trying to boot from.  The bios does not let me specifically select the boot drive, just disk.  I can boot from the SDD if I either remove the HDD or go through boot options and select to boot from an EFI file. A little background – I’ve had this running Windows from the SSD drive since I got it (installed that way) and using the HDD for storage.  My SSD drive had been removed and Windows installed on the HDD (since this is the HP forum I won't get into how this happened when I sent my laptop in for an unrelated repair.)  Seems I should be able to get it booting from the SSD again since it has not changed.  I’ve since removed the partitions and reformatted the drive.  I also tried setting up the EFI files on the HDD using BCDBOOT, maybe I didn’t need to/did it wrong/something else.  Seems this is not an uncommon issue but trying various things I’ve not yet been successful.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Ralph,
    thanks a lot for the helpful information! But the problem still persists, and I don't know what's wrong about the installation. I again checked the case and device are fully compatible with Windows 8 on USB 3 and the current boot camp drivers are installed - so everything should work perfectly fine as Windows 8 does natively support booting from external USB-3-devices.
    I personally still assume it's rather a driver related problem as the external SSD doesn't even show up whilst booting into the boot menu with "Alt" pressed - I can only choose to boot from the external SSD within the "start volume" menu in OSX (which then doesn't work out when rebooting, unfortunately). I mean, if there was a chance to boot from the external SSD with the configuration I got right now, but OSX/the iMac just "doesn't know" it shall boot from the external partition and therefore rather chooses the internal boot camp partition, the SSD would at least show up in the boot menu when pressing "Alt" on start-up, or do I go completely wrong? I even tried to rename the internal bootcamp partition (which did not work out) or disable it in order to prevent OSX/the iMac to boot from the internal bootcamp partition, but it didn't help: After rebooting it again chose the internal boot camp partition to start from.
    Might the deletion of the internal partition be worth a try? Meaning is there a realistic chance that the issue might be caused by that? I would give it a try although I really don't wanna loose the internal boot camp partition for no good reason (btw: would it be possible to clone an image back from the external SSD to the internal HDD then?). Or do you maybe have any other idea what driver could miss resp. could be wrong about the installation so the boot process from the external SSD fails...?
    Again MANY MANY THANKS in advance for your further assistance, everybody!!

  • Qosmio F60-14K - Can't get it to boot from the SSD

    Hi
    Im trying to install a new SSD disk, but cant, because I cant get it to boot from the SSD, "Insert a system start disk" Works fine as a USB, even installed Windows 7 on it and tried to boot from it but with out any luck.
    All I havent tried are to switch between IDE/AHCI, but that because I dont have that option in BIOS. I think I have tried everything I can test, any tips/help would be much appreciated!!
    And so to the BIOS part a joke to call bios all you can do change clock settings and the bootorder more or less!
    Anywhy to get more options?
    thx
    //Henrik

    I installed it on my desktop cuz I couldnt install win7 when it was in the laptop it said it wasant a start partision, but it didnt help since it didnt boot from it even with the OS installed on the disk.
    Since I cant boot from the ssd it dosent matter what I install on it.
    Yeah aslong as u dont want to change anything the set bios seams ok but not as soon as you want to change anything like in my case.
    something I really really miss is the fan speed control and ofc the acpi and maybe some chipset settings.
    but aslong as I get my SSD to work Im more then happy with the bios settings ;)

  • No Boot from Internal SSD RAID 0  ( partitioned )

    6 Core Westmere MAc PRo 10.6.2
    I have 2 OWC Exteme PRo RE SSD drives 200 Gig each -
    one in lower optical bay , the other one in HD bay .
    I made 2 exactly same partitons on each of those ( using Disk Utility )
    and created Striped RAID on two pairs of those - using this workflow:
    http://macperformanceguide.com/Storage-HowToSetupRAID.html
    ( so I have 2 volumes Boot and Scratch )
    Everything works fine - extremely fast .
    I can do things on those volumes no problem .
    So I made a Super Duper clone of my system
    harddrive into "boot" SSD volume .
    What I get is a " forbidden " sign while trying to boot from that .
    I was able to boot from my SSD in JOBD setup ( before Raid O of partitions )
    Any suggestions how to make my 400MB /S SSD raid0 volume bootable ?

    Usually you do not want your scratch and system to be on the same hard drive, even if shared in RAID0.
    6-core Westmere is Mid 2010 and comes with a later build of OS X than 10.6.4.
    You'll also see SoftRAID recommended on MPG and what I prefer to use for arrays.
    While you are experimenting, I would use the entire two SSDs in RAID0, formatted with 10.6.4 Disk Utility. And ask OWC what they think is up.

  • Yosemite won't Boot from External SSD with Firewire Connection

    Seeking help, I boot from external SSD drives from my 2010 iMac. I recently installed Yosemite on an External SSD with a firewire connection and all went well with the installation and first boot. After completing set up and restarting my iMac Yosemite will no longer boot from the firewire connection it will boot to the loading bar and then get the dreaded Goest Buster Emblem, if I swap out the SSD to USB connection it boots normally. I have 6 SSD Drives with Mavericks and Lion installed on that will boot from the Firewire Connection.  Any suggestions ?

    Additionally when testing while the SSD is connected to a USB Connection and booted if I attach any firewire device they are not recognized or connected to the operating system.

  • Boot-up keyboard commands not working

    Hello.
    For some reason, when my iMac is booting up, the keyboard commands to affect boot-up (for example, holding Option to pick which drive to boot into) do not work. It wasn't too much of an issue before, since I could access my Boot Camp partition through the Startup Disk preferences pane. But that partition suddenly stopped showing up there, and with holding Option not working, my Boot Camp drive is essentially inaccessible to me. Does anyone know why these keyboard boot-up commands are not working, or any way to fix this? I'd greatly appreciate any help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Please help!
    I picked up a Mac Pro Dual Intel Quad-Core from a partners office. The system has four 750gb drives. It had Tiger on it.
    Here are the steps I tried:
    1. I got leopard and installed it. I installed on drive 1.
    2. Software updates. Installed Flash runtime and Silverlight runtime.
    3. Opened boot camp and split the boot drive equally for windows and mac os.
    4. I then tried installing Vista Business and my monitor freaked out. I started having weird colors displaying after the boot up to the Windows Vista Disk. The Disk is from my MSDN subscription and I've installed with it before. The install failed after Windows install restarted the machine.
    5. Reformatted all the drives and reinstalled Leopard with the OSX boot DVD. I skipped installing updates and just went straight to boot camp after a fresh Leopard install. Same problem on windows install.
    6. I thought the drive might be messed up, so I wiped all the drives again and tried installing OSX on drive 4. BIG MISTAKE :-/
    OSX worked but once I started installing windows Vista it crapped out again.
    Now I can't boot to anything.
    I tried manually putting each drive into bay 1 to boot. No dice.
    None of the boot shortcut commands seem to work: Holding option does nothing at start up. Can't boot into single user mode. Holding c does nothing at start up. It's possible my keyboard is not working correctly because I have had problems with my USB keyboard in the past.
    Any suggestions?? I'm going nuts here and I need this machine set up ASAP for a huge project.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Consuming PI Webservice from Webdynpro Java Not working

    Hello SAP,
    Environment: CE 7.2.
    Resolution expected immediately, Helpful answer is highly appreciated.
    Is the namespace should not exceed 60char for PI Webservice, for executing the webservice from Webdynpro Java.
    I tried with all the options in executing the PI Service from Webdynpro Java, None of the options worked. I am facing the below error while I was calling the PI Webservice.
    I don't see any problem from Webdynpro Java, what ever the procedure I have followed is the standard procedure.
    Fortunately when I execute the service from Webservice Navigator, it is working as expected. The same webservice when I consume it from Webdynpro Java it is not working
    Options tried so far:
    1) Published the Services to Service Registry and there by consuming the PI Service from Service Registry - Not worked
    2) Tweaked the URL with few options - Not worked (Tweaking the URL, ex: portType, Binding)
    3) Changing the Business Systems in PI and there after calling the service - Not worked
    4) Initializing the code, instead of creating Service Controller and calling the PI Service - Not worked.
    5) Created a Provider System and tried to call the PI Webservice from Provider System - Not Worked
    For all the Options, I am facing the same error which is provided in the screenshot.
    Below procedure which I have followed for calling the PI Webservice:
    1) Created Adaptive Webservice Model
    2) Provided PI Webservice URL (It prompts for PI System UserId and Password)
    3) Selected Option - No Service Group Configuration
    4) Provided Logical Destination
    6) Completed creation of Model
    7) Added the model as a UsedModel
    8) Right Click on Comp Contr. and selected Apply Template and Created a ServiceController for the model (Entire mapping to comp contr, Initializing the nodes is taken care by Service Contr.)
    9) Created an Template Action button and there by calling execute method which is auto rendered from CompContr..
    10) Build the project.
    11) Activated the code and Run the Application.
    12) Getting the below error which is showed in the message.
    ERROR MESSAGE:
    Exception on execution of web service on destination 'GetPIHRPeopleData' for operation 'SI_CreateHRPeopleData_OS' in interface 'SI_CreatePeopleCompany_OS'

    Hi Sankar,
    If the webservice is working fine in the Wsnavigator then there is some problem with importing the webservice in webdynpro for Java. Please check the required parameter for creating the Adaptive Webservice Model. After adding in the used model and compoent controller binding, you need to write code for to execute the webservice model.
    Please check the code for initialization and execution for the webservice and then test it.

    If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the internal switch is stuck.  Insert the earphone plug a few times and see if you can trip the switch.  If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer and the like and jiggle it around inside.  If that fails, take it to an Apple store and have the technicians at the genius bar do it for you.

  • Get-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration Set-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration From Only (still) not working

    Hello,
    I would like to ask a question, hopeing it is resolved in some way and i missed it.
    I have installed SP3 Rollup 4 on our Exchange 2010 server.
    This added 2 new Powershell commands
    Get-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration
    Set-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration
    This can be used to manipulate where mail is stored in the send items.
    Sender - e-mails sent using SendAs or Send-on-Behalf-of permissions are saved only in the Sent Items folder of the Sender (UserA);
    SenderAndFrom – e-mails sent using SendAs or Send-on-Behalf-of permissions are saved in the Sent Items folder of the Sender and the mailbox on which the permissions are assigned (in our example, both UserA and UserB);
    From – e-mails sent using SendAs or Send-on-Behalf-of permissions are saved in the Sent Items folder of only the mailbox on which the permissions are assigned (in our example, UserB)
    What we really want it to use the From only way.
    We use a shared team mailbox and use that as primary, as a second mailbox users get a trusted non shared mailbox. Mail sent from the trusted mailbox should only be in the send items from the actual sender, not both.
    2 sites report that the From field is reserved for Future Use, or bugged and does not work is intened.
    Here is is stated on 1 July 2013
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj884078(v=exchg.141).aspx
    From Reserved for future use. To save the messages sent as this mailbox in the Sent Items folder of this mailbox, use SenderAndFrom value.
    That was on 26 March 2013
    http://www.msexchange.org/kbase/ExchangeServerTips/ExchangeServer2010/OutlookOWA/sent-items-behavior-shared-mailboxes-update.html
    NOTE 1: the From value does not work as expected... It basically performs the same action as the SenderAndFromvalue, meaning it saves the e-mail in both mailboxes. This is still the case in Rollup 5 v2.
    We are on 3 March 2014 now, is this still bugged, did i miss something, or is there an ETA when this will be fixed ?
    Looking foward to any replies.
    Kind regards,
    Jeroen van Velzen

    I am using a shared mailbox (with a disabled account) where I get sent items and also deleted items placed in the right folders.
    I think it’s just a matter of how you configure Outlook. It works well for me in both Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013, cached mode and also online mode. You can add a shared mailbox to your Outlook profile in at least two ways where one of them doesn’t work
    but the other does.
    If you add the shared mailbox via the File tab/Account settings/New/ and just enter the e-mail address of the shared mailbox in the Auto Account Setup page. No name, no password, just the e-mail address and click Next and voila “Your e-mail account is successfully
    configured”. After restarting Outlook you will find the shared mailbox below your own in the left pane.
    If you click the inbox ones in the shared mailbox and then open a new mail you will see the shared mailbox display name in the From field. After sending the mail you will see the mail in the Sent Items folder of the shared mailbox. If you delete a mail in
    the shared mailbox you will see it in Deleted items folder of the shared mailbox.
    The prerequisits for this is that you have “full access” and “send as” rights of the shared mailbox.
    This was accomplished without using the Set-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration command.
    We are running Exchange 2010 SP3 RU4.

  • Ethernet seems to work when booted from Leopard DVD--Not anytime else

    Ok. Here is the deal. iMac G5 connected via ethernet cable to router. It will not connect. The airport works fine. I unplug the same cable and plug into macbook pro--it works just fine. Plug it back into iMac.
    In network utilities when booted from the disk--I can ping away just fine. So--in network preferences when I boot it up again I attempt to put the IP address, subnet, router yada yada yada in manually and after about twenty five seconds of the program chewing on it--it crashes. Over and over again. Airport works just fine. PowerBook and Mac Pro connected to same network---all check out.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    The internet port is meant for modem, and ports 1,2,3,4 are meant for computers.
    After making proper connections reset router for 1 minute, and rebbot it.
    Now run easy connect program for configuring router.

  • Trying to switch to SSD, not working at all.

    So I have an A1278 Macbook Pro from Late 2011 with a 2.3ghz i5 and 16gb of ram running OSX 10.9. I also have an MCE optibay in place of my disk drive. I use this setup at a recording studio running Logic off my system drive and record to the drive in the optibay so I don't get any "disk too slow" errors or whatever in logic.
    Anyway...
              I wanted to put my 1TB HDD into my optibay, and put a Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD into my main drive bay. First I formatted thr drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in disk utility, then I tried cloning my drive in disk utility to which I got a "disk too small" error and several "invalid argument 22" errors. (Note my 1TB drive only has 90GB's of used space on it) I then tried a fresh install of Mavericks onto the SSD and restoring from a Time Machine backup. No such luck. It would be stuck at 0.2% and then "Time Remaining" would keep rising until it would stop and ask me to restart. Everything up to this point was happening in recovery mode btw. I then tried moving all my old files onto this fresh install on the SSD with Migration assistant. This appeared to have worked. The computer booted and I got this amazing SSD speed everyone was talking about. Until finder continued to close and not function properly over and over and I had to force shutdown. Back into recovery mode I went. Tried to repair disk with disk utility. and I got a "Disk utility can't repair this disk, please back it up and restore" error, and the log showed some red text about invalid node structres. So, did I miss a crucial step that one has to undergo before using an SSD? Some sort of magic SSD button in disk utility that I forgot to toggle? Or do I have a faulty drive? Right now I'm booted using the original 1TB disk in my Optibay. Any thoughts?

    Hey Clinton
    I guess i'm so stuck with the SSD that i have purchased.
    Here is the details:
    SSD - Samsung SSD 840 Evo 250GB
    MacBook Pro - 13-inch, Mid 2012
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro9,2
    Processor  2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
    Boot ROM Version: MBP91.00D3.B08
    SMC Version (system): 2.2f44
    I was running with the factory HDD (toshiba 500gb) and thought of replacing it with an SSD . Tried a clean installation of mavericks at first using Bootable USB drive having mavericks. So i went on and installed the ssd replacing the HDD i had and went on to boot up from the USB, prior the installtion i tired to partition it first with single partition MAC os extended journaled with GUID table. But then it did partition but after that it says trying to reinitialize the drive and it never came back although i tried more than five times. So then i went back to my HDD and tired cloning it to SSD using Carbon Copy Cloner, but even for that i had to do the partitioning which failed. Finally i had to go and return back that peice and they gave me another one convincing me that it might a defective peice.
    Now, with the second one, at first i booted up my HDD normally and connected the new SSD the USB/sata converter and i successfully partitioned and using carbon copy cloner, i have cloned as well. Now to make sure if its all ok, before replacing the HDD in the main compartment, i just selected the startup disk as the new SSD and restarted the system... it booted up fine like a cheetah... was all gud... i thought everything is pretty fine. Then ofcourse i went ahead and replaced the HDD and powered up the system again, but then it's not booting up... it gives you that folder with ? mark and that's all...
    And then i tried some other ways too... i even checked the firmware versions and i guess they are upto date as well. I just dont get the reason why it's not working.
    Please help me.

    so should i return and buy crucial now..???
