Hdd disk 277gb used after removing 20gb, the new ssd has 447gb free Discovered that if unclick the system recovery partition, which is around 12gb, it stops complaining about sizes. Then I deleted those 20GB and nothing changed. So wondering what happens if I clone without it. Or... what if I...

Macrium was complaining about the size of the hard disk when it had the blank space. Found a way to solve this with the clean command (it was impossible under windows_ disk management) and also to convert to mbr. Macrium still complaning about the size though (450GB for 300GB aprox) when I...

Ok thanks. Just double checked your message and there is another thing to take care about "Both drives must be the same partitioning scheme, either MBR or GPT" My old HDD Disk is MBR (just double checked it), while I chose GPT for the SSD (I read it was better for SSDs). Is this important...

"Is the original drive still viable and bootable by itself? If so, redo this clone." Yes it is. Several softwares were promising the free trial would do... and in the end they were just lying. Very annoying. Although I didn't try the one you suggest. To redo the clone I guess I need to...

Thanks guys, yes I installed ssd (kingston). Seems it would have been easier with that samsung tool, I saw it too late... I managed to clone the old disk with hasleo disk clone and speed difference is huge when executing programs. As expected. But, after cloning the new hard disk is not...

I have a laptop with similar CPU, where I changed the old hhd for a ssd, and windows 11 for 6 months now (8gb ram there). All good so far, it works super well. "But yes, you could add a SATA III SSD in there." Thanks, I will go ahead then. Probably just cloning the hhd in the ssd and keeping...

Hello, an old desktop pc is now extremely slow with Windows 10. It is an i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz, with 4BG ram and a hdd. I am thinking about buying a ssd, installing Windows 11 and all the programs there, and keeping the hdd as data disk. I had done this kind of basic things before with a...

Ok, I reinstalled the CPU, I put a new battery, which I understand cleared CMOS. I realized that the old battery was probably almost over, because I had been having issues with time and date for some time. But everything stayed the same. Then I updated BIOS. And everything stays the same...

The monitor is working well with another computer. So both dvi cable and monitor are fine. Also tried with cable hdmi and tv, got the same problems Finally could contact gigabyte support. They are suggesting it might be a cpu problem and asking me to reinstall it and clear CMOS. Will update...

Thank you, I hadn't execute the exe file. Although seeing strange things in the screen... both with the graphics card and now with the integrated graphics, should I still try to update bios to check with my other graphics card, or is it enough info to know there is something damaged in the...

Also, I think I should make a copy of all the important files in my pc, because it seems things are getting worse. I have a SSD disk, with all the system files, windows, programs, etc. and a HDD disk with info. Do you know if the info is safe in the HDD disk, or should I copy that as well...

Yes, yes, I had done that. It is 1.0. On the other hand, apart from this (apparently) compatibility issue with the Gigabyte z77x d3h and the GTX750Ti, there might be further problems, as @BFG-9000 was suspecting. It was a bit strange that the quality of the image with the integrated...

I haven't been able to update the BIOS. I get an error message saying: ¡¡¡Warning!!! File size incorrect In the previous screen it says (apart from mother board model name, BIOS version, BIOS date): Flash type/size: MXIC 25L6465E/6406E 8MB But the files in this gigabyte link are 3-4MB...

"However do you have a spare high-wattage PSU you could try? It may yet resurrect your GTX 580." Sadly not, the one in the pc is 730W and don't have anything higher than that. But do you mean that if I take it to some repair store , they might be able to resurrect it by using it with a higher...

Yes, gtx580 made so much noise! But tried the GTX750Ti in the other PCIe (the motherboard has two possible positions for the GTX750Ti), and system doesn't boot when the GTX750Ti is inserted in any of them. Both the one where the GTX 580 was and the other one. Black screen in both. The dvi cable...
