automatic repair of Windows 8 could not repair your pc
I recently bought a new 3 TB hard drive for my computer to add to my system. I installed without a problem and has used the software that came with the drive. For reference, I added a Seagate SATA drive 3TO. I cloned my original 2 TB drive on my new drive because I want to use it as my main drive for windows. No problems showed up after it was complete. My records all use MBR and I have very little experience in creating the partitions. I have partitioned my drive and was designed to use the extra space after the 2 TB limit has been reached.
In all cases after a few days I decided to perform a new installation of windows and my recovery disk that put back me in windows 7. My recovery partition is set for windows 7 and I started the migration to windows 8. After completing the installation of Windows 8-re, I ran the seagate software to allow me to use the extra space on my HARD drive but after restarting my computer finds the option of automatic startup and recovery States that he is unable to fix the pc.
I tried a few different options to no effect but my attempt to enter a system restore point, I noticed the Seagate Software did a restore point so I started this earlier period.
It is a new installation of Windows 8. I have not yet loaded Windows 8.1 as all I have is the DVD of Windows 8 and Windows 7 recovery partition. I decided to try another new facility once again with the same result. I have a 3 TB drive, which has been cloned my original 2 TB disk. My 2 TB drive is wiped with 1 single partition and my new 3 TB drive has a system partition, the OS partition and a recovery partition. In addition, I now have a portion that is not attributed, that I'm unable to access and if I activate Windows finds an inevitable auto repair with no option but to remove the Seagate Software. My question is this, can I use this 3 TB drive as my main drive and be allowed access to all the data or I'll need to come back to used my original drive as the OS drive. I would avoid using my original drive because my new drive is faster.
This issue has been resolved itself, I have reformatted all my readers and did install a clean Windows 8. After reading on the 2 TB limit I found that changing a few settings in my BIOS allows me to use the full 3 TB in Windows 8. I tried to save the Windows 7 recovery partition which has been installed by HP, but thought to remove the partition would be the best option. After formatting the drive, everything works as expected but Windows did install 2 partitions, that I don't already know, it's a recovery of 300 MB partition and a 100 MB EFI system partition. I hope this helps someone else who may have this problem as well.

As I tried to reinstall win 7 on my laptop HP Pavilion dv6-7028tx, the competition, Enterta I received this message by win7 saying that «windows Setup could not configure windows on this computer hardwear»

You cannot change the drive controller setting in the BIOS on any HP laptop consumers made in the last 5-6 years.
See if it works...
Download the drivers from this link below (first listed file - 64-bit).
Extract (copy) the files on a USB FlashDrive without all records.
With the flash player and support installation of W7 in the machine, boot from the installation of W7 media.
After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.
You should now see the storage driver files listed.
If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

Hello:
I'm not sure that there is a 'one size fits all' answer to this problem, if you google the error.
The most common solution is to try to install the SATA driver.
Here is the link to the SATA drivers you need for your model. Download and extract to a usb flash drive.
First file listed is for 64-bit operating systems.
Use the Drive Options - Advanced method to install and then select the option load a driver.
If you check the box, only the compatible SATA driver is selected.

Under programs right click wups2.dll and choose Properties, when the Properties window opens, click the Details tab.

Now do the same for c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll
He, too, should show file version and product like 7.4.7600.226
If the version is earlier than that, you will need to install the more recent Version of the Windows Update Agent.

Once the download completes close all open programs and browsers.
Run MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and choose its default mode.BUT, if the installed firewall antivirus/security suite or a 3rd party is causing the "reading check error" then the Fixit may/does not work.
If this is the case, then Configure the system to boot after download and Save the Fixit.
Then, run the Fixit after the reboot to clean boot state.
Restart and Cancel the clean boot steps, restart again to normal Windows mode.
NOTE: in the boot minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. When you run the Fixit either unplug the system from it is the network connection or make sure the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on by opening the control panel > Windows Firewall.Expert MowGreen Windows IT Pro - consumer safety
