How to disable the eMMC or remove it from the motherboard of ES1-111M-C40S.

Spitfire

After further research, I concluded to remove or disable the eMMC from the motherboard of ES1-111M-C40S to install OS on the SSD or HDD added to ES1 laptop.

Is there any advice or guide?

Thanks.

Hi ACE philetus, I can't find answer from the link. The link is all about how to add storage capacity to overcome capacity limit of the eMMC rather than replacing the eMMC with larger storage device.

 

I successfully added 240GB SSD but the protected partition on the eMMC doesn't allow me installing OS on the added SSD.  Finally I removed the protected partition using command screen and installed Windos 8.1 on the SSD.

Thanks any way.

Hi Spitfire, i am looking for the same solution for bypassing the eMMC. Could you please describe your method in details so i can do it also. I can't find a way via comand screen from anywhere.

thanks in advance.
