Slow Boot

Hi

I have a  Inspiron 17R SE (7720, Mid 2012), a couple of weeks ago it started booting really slowly, I have been running all kinds of tests and it kept passing, I found something called Intel rapid storage technology and ran it and it says the Samsung SSD PM830 mSATA 32 GB has failed.


( I did run the Dell pc doc on the hardware and it passed all the diagnostics)

There appears to be ways to reset it to available etc in the intel rapid storage technologies software but I don't want to muck anything up...can someone walk me through what I should do to safely get it working again.

Once the laptop has booted up and been running for 5 mins or so it is ok other than a couple of programs running a little slower initially.

Thank You,

Michelle

    Hi Michelle,

    Follow the steps mentioned below to enable the mSATA for acceleration on the system.

    1. Click Start button on the keyboard, type ‘CMD’
    2. Right click ‘CMD’ and run as administrator
    3. At Command prompt type in Diskpart
    4. Type LIST DISK you should see 2 Disks listed.
    5. Note down the correct DISK number for the next steps. On some systems mSATA HDD would be either Disk 1 or Disk 0
    6. Type SELECT DISK 0(Whichever is mSATA drive)
    7. It should say DISK 0 is selected
    8. Type Clean
    9. This should clean the mSATA HDD.
    10. Type EXIT and RESTART the system.
    11. Open the IRST application and try to enable the accelerator on mSATA.

    Please let me know if this helps.
