Probook 6470b | SSD is not seen on F9 Boot menu (SanDisk Ext. 128gb SDSSDX-120G-G25)

[elusive]

Hi, I`m planning to upgrade my Probook 6470bs HDD by adding a SSD: SanDisk Extreme SSD 128GB with caddy drive.
I inserted SDD as correctly, seen and primary drivers installed on Win7-64Bit but right after that I restarted my laptop and was keep pressing ESC > F9 and then I don`t see my SSD as a BOOT option.

Any idea to solve this issue?
Which drivers, patches or programs do I need to install in order to start from scratch for installing OS Win7-64Bit on my new SSD?

Thnx.

- SATA settings that are in BIOS are set to AHCI
- BIOS Version : 68ICE Ver. F.43

serhatsine

it's not a AHCI problem is a RST and Firmware problem

First install the new Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver

Reboot

Update the Scandisk Firmware over USB Cable

Hi Toofy,

Thanks indeed for your reply. But...

I did what you said, SSD is in MyComputer folder (as formatted) but still there is no SSD shown in HP BIOS Boot Menu.

What I want to do is, install a new OS on SSD as primary drive and while current/embedded HDD as secondary, as an external Disk.

Install the new BIOS F.45

After Bios update install the new UEFI Support

http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=5212925&sp...

Your old BIOS and UEFI is the problem

And Change the First boot option in the bios to Caddy drive

Your ssd is not a active Boot drive

For dual boot use EasyBCD

Hi Toffy,

Thanks for reply.

-BIOS update is completed as successfully (from F.43 to F.45)

-UEFI Support is installed as successfully

But still SSD is still not shown in F9/BIOS Boot Menu.

BTW, when you say "Your ssd is not a active Boot drive"; Couldnt figure-out what to do with EasyBCD. Is there way to modify SSD settings to get Activated as Boot Drive in Windows7? 

[Toffy]

start the System and Push F10

Change the default boot order

SSD must be first

Toffy,

No, not in there, still the same.

Is it because of Boot Option settings related with UEFI shown as in the attachments? Pls check attached documents. (1-2-3-4)

I`ve 2 laptops right now. we can make a skype or TeamViewer Session in order to show it as live.

2 - Update : Solved - I guess

After installing EasyBCD, now everytime I need to choose `Windows 7` as OS which is very annoying. How to disable this? I`m googling over and over but not have a furtherstep yet. Why this 3rd Party porgram is requred with this issue? (EasyBCN.png) It is not possible to de-select `Yes` to `No`

After selecting `Skip .. .. .. ` it is not asking me which OS to run evrytime. Hoping that everything rolled back as OK.
