Out of desperation, I'm going to crosspost this from the W8 thread. quote:Well, I'm in trouble here... EDIT: Well, it looks like EASEUS Data Recovery will do the trick. I let it run all day, and it's currently moving everything over to an external drive. Knock on wood, fingers crossed. LifeSizePotato fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Mar 9, 2012 |

I'm not sure if this is the best place to put this... I just got a new laptop and it came with a 256gb SSD. I replaced it right away with a Samsung 850 512gb. I was hoping to clone my GF's 128gb SSD to the 256gb, giving her the larger drive with double the capacity. I did that, but the computer doesn't seem to want to boot from the drive. It sees that it's there, but it says something like "Invalid media. Reconnect cable." Is this something to do with it being a Windows 8 drive, and I cloned Windows 7 to it? Should I completely format the drive first? It's a Dell drive going into a Lenovo, if it helps. Edit: Maybe this will work: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/rebuild-bcd-store-windows.htm LifeSizePotato fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Aug 13, 2014 |

Alereon posted:Good suggestion, thanks! Now that I have a Samsung SSD and can poke at the Magician, I think that would be enable all the features it disabled (ensure everything on advanced tab says "Deactivate"), set Pagefile to Windows defaults, set Power Plan to Balanced, and re-enabled System Restore. Can you think of any other changes that are needed? I wasn't aware of this stuff. I just installed an 850 Pro into my new laptop. It doesn't seem like Magician made any changes, at least from looking at the panel you're talking about. Any guides out there to optimizing the Samsung for Windows 8.1 or common knowledge adjustments I should make?
