Zero out SSD and clean install x201

Hello All,
I read a lot about disadvantages of an SSD and came to a conclusion that the only way to keep it in the original shape is to zero out data once every months. Please let me know if this is fine to be done.
Now can anyone please explain how we can zero out data on an SSD and how to copy back the entire backup?. Will Lenovo Restore and recovery work as usual when we format the hard disk? I am pretty good with finding my way through so please let me know the process in brief so that I can try it sometime. FYI I have a 4GB USB Stick and a 1TB external HDD.
cheers!
Solved!

All ssd's have some form of garbage collection.  It just depends on when it does it and how much collection it actually does.
Some of them do it while it's in use and that could result on not being able to access the data on the block that is being cleaned.  Others do it during idle.
There's not much information on Toshiba's site on their drives.
I think I would rather have a good garbage collection than trim just because the more reading and writing to an ssd, the shorter its life.
The only 3rd party tools that I know anybody uses are monitoring tools, so I can't recommend any cleaning tools because I don't know how they work.  Intel has a tool, but I don't know whether that will work on other drives besides theirs.
I'll try to find out more information.

  • Erase And Clean Install Error

    Hi Guys,
    I'm attempting to reinstall OSX on a Macpro - 10.4.10 using the Erase and Clean Install. All goes well with the first installation disc and all is going well with the second disc until it gets to garageband where it freezes and then stops installing and says that I need to try and reinstall again - I''ve tried three times now - is there something I am doing wrong or need to do differently to bypass this problem.
    Thanks

    First off, there is no such thing as an erase and clean install option. These are these Mac OS X installation options:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607614
    So what are you doing according to the actual installer?

  • Apps crashing, boot slow, want to wipe and clean install

    Is there a good way to find what needs to be preserved in order to wipe and clean install? I tried Archive and Install, and though it helped, I'm still having issues with scanner software:

    Archive and Install preserves all of your apps and prefs. including VueScan and something is messed up with your VueScan install. Try removing VueScan and any associated files (search for any files containing "VueScan") and reboot. If you still have problems post back.

  • Need help with backup and clean install

    Need Assistance with G5
    Background
    I'm an inexperienced Mac user with a G5, twin 2.0 gig processors and 1.5
    gig ram. The OS is v10.3.6. It is the latest OS that will not slow down
    internet (Safari/Mail) applications. Anything newer has really slowed internet applications down big time.
    Current Problem
    I've probably messed up my hard drive by switching back and forth
    (archive/install) from newer to present OS. I now have corrupted data and
    while my Mac is useable, several things do not work (disk utility, printing
    and possibly more). I have a mixture of new and older versions of
    these applications/utilities in my OS.
    Going Forward
    I believe I need to wipe out my hard drive and do a clean install. I also have a Mac mini which I can use (I believe) for backup via firewire.
    Backup
    Is everything I need to backup in the "User" folder? My spouse and I have
    separate accounts and a shared account on the same Mac, with a total of 8.5 gig of data, mostly photo's and music. We want to save that and the usual preferences and favorites/bookmarks/addresses/email, etc. It would be nice if all I had to do was drag the user folder into the target drive.
    I'd appreciate any assistance. I have more questions which I'll get to later, but I need to start somewhere.
    Thanks all
    Mac G5    

    Backing up your Users folder will save everything in all the accounts on the computer including pictures, music, preferences, etc. as long as they were kept in that folder.
    If you have File Vault turned on you should turn it off. The "correct" procedure for transferring to your Mac Mini is as follows:
    1. Turn both computers off. Connect them together with a Firewire cable.
    2. Boot the G5 into Target Disk Mode.
    3. Then boot the Mac Mini normally. The G5's hard drive should be present on the Mini's Desktop.
    4. Create a new folder on the Mini and name it something appropriate like G5 User Backup. Drag the Users folder on the G5 into this new folder on the Mini.
    After the transfer completes you should verify that everything has been transferred and is there in the folder.
    5. Drag the G5's hard drive icon from the Desktop to the Trash or CTRL-click on its icon and select Eject from the contextual menu.
    6. Shutdown the G5 and remove the Firewire cable connecting the two computers.
    You can now proceed to fix the G5. Because you are planning to erase the hard drive I would like to suggest you do an extended format to prep the hard drive properly for your restoration:
    1. Boot from your Panther Installer Disk. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    You can then quit Disk Utility and return to the installer. Now proceed to reinstall OS X. Be sure you set up your accounts with the exact same usernames and passwords as you used before.
    Once you have completed your reinstallation on the G5 you can restore your Users folder from the Mac Mini.
    1. Shut down both computers. Connect them with a Firewire cable.
    2. Boot the G5 into Target Disk Mode.
    3. Boot the Mac Mini normally. G5's hard drive should appear on the Mini's Desktop.
    4. Open a Finder window on the G5's hard drive and drag the Users folder to the Trash (don't delete yet.)
    5. Now copy the saved Users folder from the Mac Mini to the G5 (only the Users folder, not the folder in which you stored it.)
    6. Eject the G5's hard drive from the Mini's Desktop and shut down the G5.
    7. Disconnect the Firewire cable.
    Now restart the G5. If all worked well it should start up normally and you should find everything normal in your accounts.
    There is one potential problem in all the above. All your account preferences are contained in the Users folder. If you have any corrupted preferences, they will still be corrupted and may continue to cause problems. If that's the case you may need to trash the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder's contents. Hopefully, this won't be the case, but you should be aware of the possibility.
    If eveything is working normally you can empty the Trash and delete the contents. Same on the Mac Mini.

  • How do I wipe Win 8.1 64 from a SSD to clean install Win 7 64?

    My HHD crashed on my Pavilion m6. Laptop was out of warranty, so I decided to go with a SSD. I only had a copy of Win 8 to install, so I could use my laptop while waiting for a copy of Win 7 Home Premium OEM from Amazon.
    Within that week I had the new SSD installed with Win 8. The system wanted to update to 8.1, which I did. My intent was to ultimatly uninstall Win 8.1 from the new SSD and install Win 7 which the laptop originaly was designed for. My problem is I now have the copy of Win 7 and when I install it doesn't seem to connect to the network during installation so I get no drivers automaticly installed. I have tried the installation connected by LAN and Wirelessly with the same results, no network drivers installed.
    I reinstalled Win 8 again with no problems so I don't think it is a faulty network adapter in my laptop. Now I am out the money I spent on the OEM copy of Win 7 because my system only wants to install properly on Win 8.1. Any suggestions?

    m6-1035dx
    Install process never asks to install drivers. Now when I reinstall Windows 8 it's almost like everythig is still installed. Even the wallpaper. I have deleted all the partitions when trying to reinstall Win 7 but it's like remnants of the Win 8 install still remain.

  • How to change startup disk for a 2012 Mac mini with dual HDD and clean installed with Windows 8.1?

    Hi,
    I have a Mac-mini (late 2012 model), originally with Mac OS X Maverick Server installed (with two HDD). Recently, I had clean installed Windows 8.1 on one of the HDD (worked perfectly, just slow) and swapped the other HDD (with Mac OSX) with a SSD. I then cloned the Windows OS HDD in to the new SSD. Now I am trying to boot this Mac mini from this SSD, however, since this Mac mini do not have BIOS for me to change the boot sequence at the startup, is there any one can help?
    Thank you,
    Liusc

    If you boot with the Option key depressed what boot options are shown?

  • New Internal Hard Drive and Clean Install: Errors, Frustration and Hopelessness

    First Off:
    Macbook 13" (late 2009) ... It was running Mountain Lion 10.8.5 with 2 gigs of memory and 160gig stock hard drive.
    I started this process almost a week ago and despite numerous attempts every night I have had no luck. I appologize if the details here are fuzzy, my head is spinning after reading dozens of threads and attempting multiple solutions to each error I've received and i cant remember everything I've tried so far...
    I got my new memory in the mail first, upgraded to 4 gigs and everything works fine with that..
    Next came my new Seagate Momentus 750 gb 7200 rpm SATA 3gb/s 16Mb Internal Hard Drive.
    Using this guide: http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/17/make-bootable-os-x-10-8-mountain-lion-usb-install -drive/ (and cross checking other guides) I ended up creating a bootable external drive using my 160gb External Firewire drive for my clean install to my new hard drive. So far so good.
    I then shut down the computer, removed the old internal hard drive, installed the new, restarted the computer holding option key and booted up using the External Hard Drive, and the install software started fine. Note: I have attempted to re-erase the drive so many times without luck that I cant remember if I actually successfully erased the drive originally to begin with the installation, but either way I started the OSX reinstall and it got almost all the way finished before it gave me the error message:
    "Install failed. Mac OS X Lion couldn’t be installed, because the disk (volume name) is damaged and can’t be repaired. Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again."
    restarting of course did nothing, it repeatedly gave me error messages and made me quit installation...
    Disk Utility isnt getting me anywhere, im either getting errors like:
    "POSIX reports: the operation couldnt be completed. device no configured"
    it wont allow me to erase the drive or partition the drive
    "Disk Erase failed with the error: File System Formatter Failed"
    and everytime the drive fails to erase or partition, it disappears from the list of drives on the left of the disk utility screen and i have to restart the computer for it to reappear for a second try. Typically the volume under the drive is greyed out and says that it is unmounted.
    Ive zapped the PRAM.... and Ive done other things that I cant quite remember right now because my brain is boiling from reading too many **** threads on multiple devices....
    halp.
    halp me plase.

    So funny story...
    While writing this discussion I had to come to the computer and try to erase the drive so I could see the error code for reference. The erase didnt work as usual but I wrote the error code down here.
    I also could not remember the error code for partitioning the drive so I attempted that as well so I could write down the code, and this time it magically partitioned successfully! The only thing I did differently was that I didn't rename the partition because i figured it wouldn't matter anyway. Since the partition was successful, I attempted the Reinstall of ML and it magically worked!!
    I dont know what the **** happened but ive been attempting this install every night for like 3 hours since Monday and this is the first time it went through... for no apparent reason?
    Ghosts? Magic? Full Moon?
    we may never know...
    Thanks anyways guys!

  • Erase disk and clean install - The only way

    Just a note to say that I tried Archive and Install, and Migrate, and was beset with many of the problems discussed here. I messed about for hours trying to sort this and that. Then I decided that it was time for a fresh start.
    I hated the idea of starting again from scratch installing all my progs one by one. It took me about a day, as I tried each program for glitches after install. But it felt more satisfying than trying to fix a busted system.
    There were no glitches. I stayed away from progs with known issues.
    http://www.macintouch.com/leopard/compat.html
    I started with the progs I can't live without, and added the others as needed. I kept a backup of my old system and dragged in prefs for many apps as needed, which speeded things up and made it less painful. My main problem after that was importing Mail, as it seemed to be corrupted or at least Mail could not deal with the import. I got around that by using a prog called emix to mbox converter and imported the mbox file. That worked fine.
    The result is that now my system is clean of all the dross of old prefs and progs I did not use anyway.
    AND Leopard works really well.
    I know it won't solve all the problems, and all the other install methods should work, but we have to remember every computer is different due to the soft we put in. A major system release is the burning edge. I'm so curious that I always get burned a bit. I know I should wait for the first update from apple before jumping in, like all my sensible friends. Of course, I do have a laptop still running Tiger so I'm not that brave!
    All The Best
    Gordon

    Gordon, I think that for must users, the simple upgrade is the way to go, but only with a confirmed backup. I upgraded my "old" MBP and the process went perfectly and took a bit over an hour. Everything works and it works better than with Tiger.
    I think the choice depends on how old the computer is, how many programs are installed, how good the hardware is, and how well prepared the computer and the user are for the upgrade.
    If someone has a lot of special software installed, it's possible that they have some combination that was not tested simply because it's impossible to do so.
    I would still recommend an upgrade (with that backup) then, if that does not go swimmingly, an erase and install.
    I did a clean install on my G5 only because I wanted to keep the Tiger in the tank, so to speak, so the machine is dual-boot - one internal HD for each OS.
    But, to each his own.
    No piece of software will ever install smoothly on every computer. That's a given. The goal is to maximize the number of computers it will install on smoothly. This is also the reason Apple has cut off some older computers from this upgrade.
    Perfection is for the other world, not this one.
    However, with well over 2 million Leopards leaping out in the wild, I can only assume that most installs went perfectly or this board would be inaccessible for all the traffic we would have.
    You obviously know what you are doing, and you did what it took.
    I did one upgrade and one clean install and I would leave the choice up to the user.
    But only if they have that all-important clone standing by in the sidelines.

  • IWeb and clean install

    i just did a clean install and i forgot to backup my iWeb settings ---now the iWeb app. on my machine does not see my iWeb site on my iDisk ---any way to sync these again or do i have to start over with a new site ?
    If i create a new site will it erase my existing site that is not being seen by the iWeb app. ? Thanks for the help

    sorry to say, to the best of my knowledge if you did not back up the domain file you are out of luck.
    i have not seen anyone figure out how to bring the files back from idisk to a new doman file as of yet. hopefully i have missed something.

  • Format and Clean install

    I have a virus which I suspect is a keystroke logger. I cannot isolate it and want to do a complete wipe and format and re-install XP professional. (Since the unit was new I have always had occasional freeze-ups, etc.,  which I would also hope to correct with the latest version of software.)  Unfortunately when I purchased my A31 new from IBM, no Windows XP discs were provided. Now the Lenovo web site says that only questions and inquiries are accepted from users who are under warranty. Is there no other solution than to go out and buy a new XP Professional (or Vista?) software package?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Welcome to the forum!
    Does your A31 still have the orginal recovery partition intact? If so, you can do a clean restore from there.
    What COA do you have on your machine? It is perfectly legit to get a burned copy of the original IBM disks for the OS that your machine has the COA for.
    Let us know.

  • Firefox 27.0.1 keeps crashing after a complete uninstall and clean install and disabling all plug-in's .

    FF started hanging up recently so I did a complete clean uninstall including profile. then a complete clean install. I've disabled all plugins and extensions still to no avail. I just open FF and wait a few seconds with out even going to a page and I get the Beach Ball of Death, have to force quit every time. Disabled hardware accel also after reading through the forums. Nothing seems to help. Chrome and Safari work just fine.

  • Disk Utility: Differences between "Zero Out Data" and "7-Pass Erase"?

    I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a significant difference between the "Zero Out Data" erase option in Disk Utility (specifically Disk Utility 10.5.5), and the "7-Pass Erase" and "35-Pass Erase" options in same software.
    Here's why I'm asking: I have a co-worker with an iMac G5 20" 1.8GHz with 160GB internal hard drive. As a result of the power supply overheating a week ago due to dust, some hard drive problems resulted. I'm trying to assess whether these are 'soft' formatting problems that can be recovered from, or 'hard' problems requiring replacement of the hard drive and/or power supply.
    Following the failure, I removed the dust and restored the iMac to servicable form. The power supply seems to be OK now. The next thing was to attempt to recover as much data as possible from the 160GB, as the last full backup was a week old. Carbon Copy Cloner, shell copy via 'sudo cp -p -R -v', Finder copy, and DiskWarrior recovery all met with problems. TechTool Pro identified a huge swatch of unreadable sectors during repeated surface scans. Unfortunately, these unreadable sectors were located midway in the OSX boot partition (an 80GB partition), and not in the other 80GB partition devoted to lower priority video data.
    When I was satisfied I had backed up the data to the best of my abilities, I next set out to reformat the drive and see if the bad sectors could be eliminated or remapped out of existence. I did a "Zero Out Data" erasure in Disk Utility (with no errors during the erase), but TechTool Pro showed the bad sectors persisted in equal strength at the same location. I next executed a sixteen hour "7-Pass Erase" (again no errors, and confirming that it takes about an hour per 10GB). The next day when I ran TechTool pro, all of the sector errors had disappeared. I'm a bit perplexed as to why the "7-Pass Erase" seems to have recovered the use of the drive. Is it possible that there are simply thousands of bad sectors now remapped that I'm not seeing? [If so, how do I check for this?] TechTool Pro has not reported any S.M.A.R.T. issues to date on the drive. What am I to make of that?
    There are some related threads I've checked into, but I'm not sure how to properly assess my situation based on this information:

    Since the iMac has three weeks left on it's one year warranty, and I've already moved the user to another machine temporarily, I'm thinking that the smart thing to so is to send it in to Apple to have them look at the power supply and hard drive. That way, when it returns, even if there is still a lingering hardware problem, at least it will be covered under warranty for another 90 days.
    Any thoughts?

    HI, Bret.
    The only differences between "Zero Out Data", "7-Pass Erase", and "35-Pass Erase" are the number of times a binary zero is written to every bit on the disk. "Zero Out Data" writes a binary zero once, whereas the 7- and 35-Pass options write a zero seven and 35 times, respectively.
    Technically, one pass with Zero Out Data should be sufficient to map bad sectors out of service, a process also known as sparing. If a bad sector is encountered, it is both marked as "in use" in the directory's allocation table and added to the directory's "bad blocks file."
    My understanding is that the Surface Scan of Tech Tool Pro should identify bad sectors every time it is run unless the bad sectors have been locked out by the drive controller of the ATA drive itself. This is because Surface Scan checks the entire surface of the disk.
    What may have happened is that running "Zero Out Data" spared the bad blocks from a directory standpoint, but did not result in the drive's controller locking out those sectors for reasons detailed in the "Surface Scan" section of the Tech Tool Pro manual. However, the 7-Pass Erase may have resulted in the drive's controller locking out the bad sectors and why Surface Scan did not pick them up after such.
    Given the problems you described, I concur with your plan to have Apple check the affected computer. You might also want to consider purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan for that Mac: I recommend and buy these for all my Macs.
    For some additional information on bad sectors, see the "Bad Sectors" section of my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ.
    Good luck!

  • Can i clone my macbook air HDD into an SSD and then install that on a macbook pro??

    i Have a macbook air 2013 with mavericks and my brother has a 2012 macbook pro with yosemite, i want to keep mavericks, can i clone my air's HDD into an SSD and install that SSD into the pro??

    Yes, although your MBA does not have an HDD. It has an SSD. Just put the new SSD into a dock or enclosure, clone your drive to it, then install the new SSD into the MBP.
    Clone Yosemite, Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external SSD. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • Should I reformat and clean install to my iMac?

    I have an 27" iMac that is about five years old. It was custom top of the line i7 hyper threading 16 GB of RAM yada yada but it's much slower to boot up and the 1 TB hard drive is almost full. I'm sure some of that is orphaned files and other junk. I'd like to think that reformatting the hard drive and doing a clean install of Yosemite followed by a Time Machine restore from an external disk would be helpful. Is there an article or something that can tell me how to do this safely? Any suggestions appreciated, thanks.

    HI ..
    Make sure your Mac can run Yosemite >  Apple - OS X Yosemite - How to Upgrade
    You can reformat (erase) the drive then restore OS X using OS X Recovery.
    Then upgrade to Yosemite.
    Yosemite requires 5.16Gb's of drive space.
    Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
