How to identify suitable SSD?
Does your BIOS need to be modified?

I read somewhere in the HP Forum that the BIOS need to be modified to be able to boot on AHCI instead of IDE boot..
Please enlighten more on this... sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

identify your current hdd

in order for your potential ssd to work your current hdd must be a SATA hdd

if it is already currently plugged into your laptop board on the SATA port then your new SSD wihich you will buy will also be plugged into that same port hence replacing your current HDD

simple to understand or not?

nothing else need to do - if it connects then it will be seen in BIOS and you can install any OS you want to into that new SSD
