[. . . ] Data Migration NOTE: If you prefer to do a clean OS install, you may skip this section. For Windows users, a full version of Norton Ghost 15. 0 is included with every SSD 830 Series. Please refer to the "Norton Ghost ­ Data Migration" User Manual included on the CD that came in your box, and is also available online at www. samsung. com/ssd, for detailed instructions on migrating all of your data, including your OS install, to your new SSD. If you have installed Samsung SSD Magician on your computer, this manual is also available from the "Site Link" section of that software. Macintosh users can complete a data migration using the native Disk Utility application. Insert the Restore DVD that came with your computer and restart while holding down the "C" key. 5. Hardware Installation Guide This section briefly describes the installation procedures of the SSD. For more information, please refer to the user manual of your PC. Laptop PC 1 Turn OFF the laptop PC power. Disconnect the power plug and remove the battery from the PC. 2 Remove the HDD cover on the back of the laptop PC and carefully remove the HDD from the bay without damaging the HDD connector. If not, please follow the procedure below or refer to the user manual of your PC. 2 Press the special key for your system to get into the PC BIOS settings (also called CMOS) during the initial boot process. 3 After entering the PC BIOS, make sure that your PC BIOS recognises your Samsung SSD 830 series and that the operation mode is set to either [AHCI] or [RAID] (depending on how you want to configure your system). 4 Save the changes you made to the BIOS settings and reboot the PC. NOTE: The way to get into the BIOS and the settings menu itself differs between PC manufacturers In most cases, the key is the F2 or Delete key. Some PC manufacturers have the BIOS optimised exclusively for their PCs and may provide only limited settings and options. Some PC chipsets do not support [AHCI] operation mode even if they support the SATA interface. Refer to your PC's user manual for more information. For users who are completing a data migration with Norton Ghost: You may stop here. Your computer should boot into Windows as normal. For users who are doing a clean OS install: If the BIOS detects the SSD and a booting error message appears during the PC booting process, then the SSD installation has been done correctly and you can now start installing an OS. 7.
