QUOTE(scarxxx @ Jun 14 2013, 08:28 PM) Thanks for the info. I can proceed with SSD instead of mSata... is there any default option with msata from dell outside malaysia? i can see all malaysia option doesnt come with msata. The mini slot is identical with one of acer or asus laptop, anyone manage to get that size of msata locally? or it is useless since some of you stated it wont display in the system?    |

Unable to install any OS on the mSata which rule me out from getting a mSata to slot into my machine. 32gb cache + 7200rpm hhd will perform good thou it ll lose to a standard ssd, but you will get more space and probably better than the seagate hybrid (8gb cache) , not sure on the WD XE SAS (10000rpm) Series.so now is cost wise, 32gb mini-msata + 7200rpm (500g) = RM ??? + 190 = SSD 240gb = RM630 seagate (hybrid) 500gb = RM260 WD XE SAS 300GB (WD3001BKHG) = RM650 |

QUOTE(kam_4160 @ Jun 22 2013, 11:16 AM) pls take note that, vostro 5460 bios don't support boot from msata ur disk 0 is msata and disk 1 is ur hdd? u meant need to have boot partition in ur hdd (disk1) and windows on ur msata (disk0), since bios boot option can only select disk 1 (hdd). do u reinstall ur windows? what if i plan to clone my current windows, any idea how should i do it.  can i just shrink and clone my current c into msata, and leave current boot partition at hdd (disk 1) then edit the bootloader of msata(disk 0) to read disk 1? any idea about running as cache? if i plan to get 32gb instead of 64gb This post has been edited by Alexdino: Jun 22 2013, 09:14 PM |

QUOTE(kam_4160 @ Jun 22 2013, 10:14 PM) correct, a system reserve partition need to be created when install win7, its contain boot files inside. since bios din't support boot from msata, that partition need to be created from disk 1 (HDD). thanks for the info.i'm prefer to reformat the OS, coz it's easier and clean. whole installation take 5-8 mins only. There are a lot of utilities for clone os, like ghost, xxclone, Partition Assistant, etc Boot Configuration Data Editor (BCDEdit) is the utility to use when editing boot loader information in Windows 7 (and in Vista too). you can choose either run msata as normal ssd or cache, once u choose to run it as cache, u can't see it in my computer and save anything inside. cache will help on certain situation only, won't be much different with only HDD. But run as OS partition will increase a lot on boot time and software response time. 32gb also manage to install win7 which take around 15gb only, but few space will left after install software. btw, i bought the wrong harddisk size today  , might as well go back change to ssd tomorrow, luckily i didn't open the package yet, dont know they allow me to change or not i never know this model run on 7mm hdd  bought a 9mm standard 2.5" . anyone know will it fit?ps: i have previously tried to upgrade ram 4g and msata, but all bought it wrongly didnt know it only has 1 ram slot, and 1/2 cut msata, instead upgrade all to my asus g55 now.. |

did you clone the boot drive (system partition) along (disk0 or disk1)?
try use the Boot Configuration Data Editor to see where is ur bootdrive. the root problem came from the "window boot manager" LOL at dell comments.. sorry i was late, my gf laptop have NO PROBLEM running with SSD (corsair Neutron) alone.. just one thing my gf version came with no-windows (price at 2k), i did a full format and installation with win7(64) cd..not dell version.. not sure if this one of the cause to your problem.

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Dec 10 2013, 03:24 PM) Ok, wait. Your GF's laptop is the Dell Vostro 5470 and can run SSD as boot drive without any problems? yes. so far no problem...ssd (7mm, 9mm wont fit) in place of hdd.. Not mSata.please ensure when you clone, clone the boot drive (system partition) alone.. it took me an hour to get it correct.. it is not as difficult as my asus g55vw --> msata.. maybe i should open up shop..LOL This post has been edited by Alexdino: Dec 10 2013, 03:30 PM |

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Dec 10 2013, 03:36 PM) I don't intend to clone at all. Can't just install a brand new OS into the SSD by using the recovery disc? (Since the OS is saved in the BIOS?) do you have any other win cd other than recovery disk? need to know hows the recovery disk install the windows. you need to identify the boot drive [EFI system partition].try to install using windows cd (not recovery) you wont have much problem. one more thing remember it only fit 7mm ssd This post has been edited by Alexdino: Dec 10 2013, 03:47 PM |

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Dec 10 2013, 03:47 PM) I have no idea as well. I sold off my Dell Studio XPS 16 about a year back and I do remember there's a Windows recovery disc but I did not do any HDD upgrading, so I'm not too sure how it works also actually best way is to use a win cd and install through boot option in bios..since my gf model came without win (most affordable option) so no recovery for me to test out. replace the hdd with 7mm ssd (i bought corsair Neutron for my gf laptop, so far no problem at all) This post has been edited by Alexdino: Dec 10 2013, 03:51 PM |
