SATA SSD Boot Drive in Your Laptop. Your laptop would be so much faster if you replaced your hard drive with an SSD, often three times faster on the tasks that matter most opening apps, copying files and multitasking. The catch is that high capacity SSDs can be very expensive and you dont want to give up your 5. GB mechanical drive for a much smaller storage solution. Fortunately, if your notebook has an m. SATA slot, you can have the best of both worlds, a large hard drive for data storage and a speedy SSD boot drive for your operating system and programs. While not every laptop offers m. SATA support, several popular models from 2. Dell and Lenovo systems. If your notebook is available with a solid state cache, even if you dont have it in your configuration, the system will have an empty PCIe slot, which you can use to connect an m. SATA SSD. You can also check the service manual for your notebook or look at a list of m. SATA compatible notebooks such as the one maintained by My Digital Discount. Though you wont find an m. SATA SSD at your local Best Buy, you can purchase one at any number of hardware e tailers, including New. Egg, Amazon, Tiger Direct, My Digital Discount and Mwave. Intel, Crucial, ADATA and Mushkin are among the popular SSD vendors who make m. SATA drives, with prices ranging from 5. GB model to well over 2. GB capacity. We recommend purchasing at least a 1. GB size, which should cost between 1. SSDs here. If possible, choose a drive thats rated for SATA III speeds. For this tutorial, we used a 2. GB Intel 5. 25 Series SSD 2. Think. Pad T4. 30 notebook. To install an m. SATA drive and make it your boot drive, follow these instructions. Before You Begin Install disk imaging software. We recommend Macrium Reflect Free, which we used for this tutorial. Create a full backup of your system on an external drive. Using Macrium Reflect Free, you can simply select your hard drive under the Create a backup tab, click Image this disk and then choose a folder on the external drive for storing the image files. Clear space on your hard drive. Make sure you dont have more data on your hard drive than the m. SATA drive can accommodate. If you bought a 1. GB m. SATA SSD and your hard drive has 2. GB of data on it, youll need to delete unnecessary files and temporarily move large media files onto external drives as necessary. Install Easy BCD, a free application that helps you control which drive is your boot drive. Make sure you have admin rights. The Windows account you use to perform the upgrade must have administrator privileges. If its the only or main account on the laptop, it probably already is an administrative account. To check, launch the User Accounts app in the Windows Control Panel and the word Administrator should appear next to your username either on the first screen or after you click the Manage user accounts or Manage another account links. If not, log in to the administrative account, before you proceed. Physical Installation Open the your notebooks upgrade panel and locate the PCIe slot. A thin slot thats made to accommodate a stick the size of a piece of gum, the PCIe slot is usually located next to the RAM. If your notebook doesnt have an upgrade panel on its back side, you may have to check its service manual on the manufacturers website to find out how to access the PCIe slot. Remove the existing cache driveif your notebook came with one installed. If the slot is empty, skip this step. Unscrew the mounting screwand put it to the side. Insert your m. SATA SSDinto the slot. Because of a groove in the slot, you cannot insert it upside down. Reattach the mounting screwto hold the m. SATA drive in place. Replace the upgrade panel or close any other parts of the chassis you had to open. After you install the drive, it should mount and appear as a drive letter on your computer. If you dont see the drive, check Windows Disk Management Utility, which appears under Computer Management in the control panels Administrative Tools section. If you dont see it there, check to make sure its connected properly. Make the m. SATA Drive Your Boot Drive Launch Windows Disk Management which appears as an option in the Computer Management control panel app. Shrink the main partition on your hard drive so that its the same size or smaller than your m. SATA drive. To shrink the partition, right click on it and select Shrink Volume. Then click the Shrink button in the dialog box that appears. Its not necessary to change the default value in the amount of space to shrink field. When youre finished shrinking, the hard drive should have hundreds of megabytes of unallocated space and the amount of allocated space should be the same amount of less than the available space on the m. SATA drive. Clone your hard drive to the m. SATA SSD. In Macrium Reflect Free, click Clone this disk and select the m. SATA disk as your destination and follow the prompts. If the m. SATA drive has any existing partitions on it, delete them when given the option. This process could take anywhere from 1. After cloning, your m. SATA drives partitions will appear as drive letters with the same volume labels and data as the primary hard drive. However, the m. SATA drives main partition will probably not be the C drive, which will cause all kinds of problems until you follow the steps below to fix it. If the m. SATA drive already labeled as C, you can skip to step 2. Restart your PC and Enter your BIOS. To access the BIOS setup menu, interrupt the startup by hitting the appropriate key for your notebook, which is usually one of the function keys F1 on our Think. Pad. Change the boot order in your BIOS setup menu and rank the m. SATA drive higher than the hard drive. The boot order submenu appears in different plac on different notebooks, but on our Think. Pad, it was located under the Startup Tab. Launch Easy. BCD in Windows. Click BCD Backup Repair. Select change boot drive and click Perform Action. Select the m. SATA drives Windows drive letter on the menu that appears. Usually this will be drive D or E, because the old hard drive still has letter C. Click Edit Boot Menu. Delete all the entries by highlighting each and clicking Delete. Click Add New Entry. Enter New Windows Drive as Name and make sure Select Windows Vista78 is selected on the Type pulldown. Select the m. SATA drives drive letter and Click Add Entry. Make sure that the m. SATA drive is both the boot device and Windows drive by clicking View Settings in Easy. BCD. Reboot the PC. Launch Regedit. Either  hit Windows R and type Regedit into the Run box or find the program by searching. Navigate to HKEYLOCALMACHINESYSTEMMounted. Devices Rename the Dos. DevicesC to Dos. DevicesZ so that the hard drives Windows partition will now be the Z drive. If the hard drive has any other partitions with drive letters, change their letters to lower alphabet letters also. Rename the key associated with the m. SATA drives Windows partition ex Dos. DevicesD or Dos. DevicesE to Dos. DevicesC. Rename any the keys for any other partitions on the m. SATA drive to reflect the drive letters the original partitions used on the hard drive. Close Regedit and Reboot your PC. If you did everything correctly, the laptop will now boot off the m. SATA drive, which will also be the C drive. Atomix Virtualdj Pro 2010 Pc. Open the Disk Management tool and verify that the m. SATA drives Windows partition is now the C drive. Extend the Windows partition on the m.
