Until now I used a 1.8 inch series 320 SSD (300 GB) in an HP Elitebook 2530p that has a 1.8 inch drive bay with microSATA connector. Now I received an HP Elitebook 2560p that has a 2.5 inch drive bay with a "normal" SATA connector and that contains a 2.5 inch 5V SATA hard disk. I want to continue using the SSD in the new notebook.
I purchased a microSATA-to-SATA connector-adapter from "Lindy" (http://www.lindy.co.uk/micro-sata-data-power-to-sata-data-power-adapter-33v-5v-dc/33502.html) that also contains a voltage regulator also for the power line of 3.3V drives.
When the SSD is installed in the primary bay of the notebook using that adapter, the BIOS does not recognize a drive. It simply says "No disk installed" and does not offer the option to boot from internal drive.
So what can I do to make the notebook accept that 1.8 inch drive?
Best regards
Helge
