• HP Pavillion DV-7? Nr can a recovery disc in the Blu - Ray drive and reinstall original settings?

  After my sister died, I found his nearly new laptop (HP Pavilion DV7? nr), but have not been able to use it, because of password and a biometric scanner. It sounds like a nice laptop, but worthless if I can't use it. Any Suggestions for one-it-myselfer (cheap)?
  A recovery disk can be inserted into the Blu - Ray player and re - install the original settings?

  Restore the PC to its original state with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not accessible

  If the computer does not start in Windows, it may still be possible to use the HP recovery disk to restore the computer to its original state. The Recovery Manager can be started during the boot process by following the steps below.

     NOTE: by pressing the f11 key during startup on a computer with an image factory HP will start the system recovery process, even if the message is not displayed.

     • If the HP Recovery Manager can access the recovery on the hard drive partition, you receive a to back up user files before you start the recovery prompt. Follow the instructions.

     • If the HP Recovery Manager cannot access the hard disk to resolve system errors, you need to use the recovery disk custom that you created to recover the hard disk to its original state.

     • If you have not created the custom recovery disk, or disks are damaged, you can order a replacement of HP recovery CD.

  2. When the Recovery Manager starts, follow the instructions of recovery step by step , shown above.

  Solve a common problem of recovery.

  If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.

  HP has a simple recovery process, and its policy to provide filtering alternatives is well integrated in its support pages.

  I went through the process of replacing for a two-year-old HP Pavilion Elite m9600t. This system was built in the summer 2009, before Windows 7 shipped. As a result, my only option was to support Windows Vista 64-bit. For first class mail, HP shipping or taxes added up to $15.80. (I might have updated 2-day or night FedEx delivery for another $6 or $12, respectively.)

  

  From this page: HP and Compaq Desktop PC: looking for recovery discs?

  There step by step instructions to create a recovery disc for Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. Also, it offers the possibility to order replacement disks, but warns that these discs may only be available for a limited time:

  If you are unable to create a set of recovery discs, you may be able to order a set of replacement of HP HP discs. maintains an inventory of recovery disks of replacement several years after the product was released. However, due to licensing restrictions, HP is able to provide these recovery disc for a limited time. If the computer is several years after its warranty period, HP isn't maybe able to provide replacement for your computer disks.

  I tried with a model of 2008 HP (long out of warranty) and was able to locate filtering alternatives.

  The process of media control was a little confused. The key is to start with the appropriate model number, then click on software and driver downloads, as shown here:

  

  On the next page, you are prompted to select an operating system. The support link to recovery in the results list is available only if you select the version of Windows that your computer initially comes with. If you do not see a section "Recovery media", HP suggest "to ensure that you are on the right model number page and select another operating system." It worked for me.

  Interestingly, the last section on the page is titled "finding of the recovery disks from other Web sites. It contains a warning at the top in bold: try all other options in the paper support before attempting to order recovery disks at outside HP.

  If HP is further providing the recovery disc for your computer model and is no longer possible to create a recovery disk, you may be able to find a solution outside of HP.

  Popular online auction sites and providers of computer parts may have a part in stock original recovery disk. However, be cautious and aware of the risks when buying from a source outside of HP recovery disks. Beware of sites that offer recovery solutions when they are not affiliated with HP.

  Even if HP could not have a recovery disc available for purchase of value, search the part HP command Web site to find recovery kit part number that corresponds to your computer. Once you find the part number of the recovery disc, use the number in your search for best results.

  It's actually good advice. If you can find a part number, you may be able to find records of replacement from a legitimate outside vendor that specializes in parts for the models of the manufacturer of your PC.

• X230T USB 3 port sleep problem with external Blu - Ray drive

  Hi all

  I bought a new LG external blu - ray drive and I have problems with it sleeps very quickly.  It is recognized in Windows 7 and will be available for a short period of time after I turn it on, but if I don't use it for 30 seconds, it's in a kind of fashion 'sleep'.  It works perfectly on the single WE port 2.0 on the X230T so there must be something with the 3.0 port.  The drive is powered by an AC adapter and USB 3.0 cable included one.

  I tried to disable all the properties sleeping USB in all areas of power management and power options in Windows.  Also enabled and disabled USB hub root energy saving.  Also, I went through the BIOS and threw the USB options as well and can't find why it is go to sleep so quickly.  I have the latest firmware on the drive, as well as the latest drivers Lenovo USB 3.0 for the X230T.

  I guess I'm out of luck at this point because I think I've tried all possible solutions?

  Thank you.

  Hi again,

  I have looked on the specs and do not see why this problem should occur. I would make sure that the BIOS is updated, if you have not already. The latest BIOS for your machine is 2.03 and came out a month ago. This update, you can find here. And if this does not work, can you check and publish what are the settings in your BIOS Config > USB Configuration?

  Best,

  Adam

• Virtual Blu Ray player or Blu Ray drives external programs... Which one? Myth or Muffin?

  Greetings one and all,

  Alrighty then let me are the sitch. When I bought my computer two years ago I got to worth the money, cash, dough or dollars to buy, so I had to skimp on what I wanted. The main thing I have the proverbial axe was the disk/drive Blu Ray, my PS3 could handle plqaying already so I was not too broken not to have one in the computer, after all, it was a short walk to the center of pop entertainment in the dics and press play.

  Well, it was then and this is now and I have become totally lazy and should rather not do the loooong now trek to the PS3 to play my Blu Ray DVD more and prefer to have this accomplished through my computer without the need to install another drive. So now I'm looking for ways to accomplish these tasks by getting either a Blu Ray drive/external drive, or use one of the many "virtual drive Blu - Ray reader/programs I've seen available for download on the net?

  Now the first choice is to say... the external hard drive is pretty easy to install, just pop something cord USB into the USB port and tah dah Uncle Bob, you have a Blue Ray disc/player! The second path, that the program Virtual Drive/drive Blu Ray, becomes a much more confusing question, a question I am now in touch with you very smart people. Okay here's my stupid question...  These programs will work through my factory installed Combo drive CD/DVD Drive to play my Blu Ray DVD on my calculation? Or do I really have to buy something else to achieve?

  "Help me Obiwan you're my only hope!" Tiffany Snow

  Hi Tiffany Snow,

   
  Welcome to the Microsoft Community, thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community. You will need a physical bluray player to read physical disks. A virtual disk appears only on the computer disk images.

• Satellite L850-161 - Tempro Blu - ray driver update notification

  I have just received an alert of tempro on a driver update that my L850-161 will play blu - ray discs. Now, I was quite surprised that I only have a dvd player of standard model provided with L850 when I bought it.

  I have downloaded the driver and tried to install it but nothing happened that was not surprising.

  You are the one second that reports about this alert Tempro. Unfortunately this will not help at all.

• Wanted: Adding a Blu - ray drive

  Right now, my laptop reads DVD but as soon as it is out of warranty (soon), I want to replace the DVD player that will play blu - ray as well. Can you give me some suggestions of what will be the word with this model?

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See p. 46. You remove the back cover and a screw inside and the optical drive behind the scenes.

  This is the player you need for M7 models:

  Disc Blu - ray ROM with SuperMulti DVD±R/RW Double layer Combo Drive 729728-001

  It is a Blu - Ray player, which I think is what you need as you want to watch Blu-Rays and not burn Blu-Rays.

  You can buy the part that it comes from the factory, so it's just a replacement fitted but very expensive:

  https://www.Amazon.com/HP-729728-001-optical-disc-drive/DP/B00G2GJRNC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&QID=1468928120&SR=8-2&keywords=729728-001

  Much cheaper to buy just the drive and swap the disc in your drive current DVD is in the mounting bracket. It is a 5 minute job, involving perhaps 5 or 6 screws.

  http://www.eBay.com/ITM/Panasonic-UJ172-Blu-ray-6x-BD-combo-drive-for-HP-envy-M4-M6-M7-series-/271739477830?hash=item3f44ef5f46:g:xLgAAOSw8d9UtJdr

  If you take it to a technician he or she will have access to anything on the computer. I always ask someone that I help give me passwords, etc., so I can test the functioning of the parts that I install. In this case, you can see if you could make an appointment and watch the technician as an experienced technician could swap in a new drive to maybe 15-20 minutes. You can buy the disc and take the laptop to the technician. I don't think there are that I am convinced that we can guide you through the process, but if you really don't want to do and I understand then that would be the way to go. Probably even cheaper than the factory replacement.

  CyberLink Power Media 14 can read Blu - Ray, but it may require that you purchase a kind of plugin pack. Probably not, however.

  Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

• Upgrade to a DVD to a Blu - Ray drive in a HP Pavilion DV6910 laptop

  My DV6910 came with a dvd/cd rom drive and I thought that the switch will be simple, but I have a feeling that the sata connector is going to be different. I bought a used one and it is on its way, but I'm starting to see photos of some of the connection point and the connectors while the two sata, are different. The one I bought did not have a picture of the back, but I suspect it's like others I've seen. All this experience?

  Hello

  I don't think that the laptop is powerful enough to manage blu - ray discs. I checked the specs for a dv6910us and there's a D2C AMD 2 GHz cpu and nVidia 7150 M, which is a very bad set config to play BR discs Readers Blu - Ray are supported on Intel based dv6700 recommended full portable series that might suggest that it would be the same on dv6900 series laptops.

• Installation of a BLU - RAY DRIVE internal in a 8700 XPS PC.

  My purchase of a Dell XPS 8700 computer has arrived, and I want to install a drive internal blu - ray since mine did not come with one.

  Is this possible?

  I'm a bit of a novice in computer science and I watched videos online of the people equip their computer with a blu - ray player, but none of them is featured a 8700 XPS.  Can anyone help me with instructions on how to:

  -Open the computer

  -connect/install the blu - ray player?

  I appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you!

  Hello

  It should be possible.  The XPS 8700 should come with unused bays where the blu - ray player can be adapted.   But I must warn you that you're dealing with electronics when you do the upgrades and installs.  Please make sure that you watch videos that explain all the security requirements when it comes to the delicate pieces.

  Here is the link to the manuals for the 8700 XPS.   It has both a guide and the specifications for you to review document.  Again, I strongly recommend reading the safety precautions section and "before you begin" to get a better understanding of what you need to do.

  It should also be a section in the manual to know how to install a replacement disk, which will essentially be the step by step instructions.

  Good luck and don't forget to follow the safety guides and installation instructions completely.

• Blu Ray drive not detected on Windows Explorer

  I recently formatted my laptop old, unused. It had Windows Vista Enterprise Edition before formatting. I replaced this with Windows 7 Ultimate (with integrated SP1) x 64 OS. I could get all the drivers for the laptop, but to my surprise, the Blu Ray DVD rom was not detected on the Windows Explorer!

  Think that Windows may have judged as a disc 'empty', I selected the option to display these empty drives but nothing happened. All I see on my computer is my main hard drive.

  I checked the Device Manager, but I did not see a tree menu to DVD/CDROM drives. I've repeatedly scanned for hardware changes, but Device Manager still couldn't get the Blu Ray player.

  I tried searching for information and I came across a thread that instructed me to find this registry key and delete the two folders namely "Upperfilters" and "Lowerfilters" under the
  Input HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. This did not help at all since it does not "Upperfilters" and "Lowerfilters" folder located under this key.

  Kind of weird, the DVD Rom works because the drawer opens every time I press the button open on the side of the road.

  He used to work before I formatted my laptop. Before formatting, I checked what driver was using the CDROM, I discovered that it was a virtual DTSOFT CDROM device. I tried to search for a driver, but failed to find one. I even tried resetting the BIOS by default settings, but still no luck.

  Can someone help me? Thank you very much!

  Hi Dann,

  Make sure that the Blu - ray player is correctly connected, because it is not visible in the Device Manager. You may need to disconnect and reconnect the connectors at both ends (mother card reader & Blu - ray).

  If the problem persists then I suggest you to check the status on another computer. To confirm that this isn't a problem with the hardware.

  Keep us updated on the status of the issue.

• Re: Blu Ray drive will not play Blu Ray

  Hello world

  I bought a HP Pavilion Slimline s5395a, with a blu - ray player. However when I tried to play Harry Potter and the relics of death part 1 blu ray using HP mediasmart dvd, he came with a message saying you want to search for updates. If I pressed no or Yes, nothing happens. I also tried to reinstall it to no luck and go to the settings icon on the bottom of program updates, where there is a critical update available, but nothing happens when I try to download it. Hope you can help me with this.

  Thanks, Luke

  Hi Luke,.

  This assumes that you are running Windows 7.

  Download and install Revo Uninstaller from the link below.

  http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php

  Run revo and use it to uninstall your HP MediaSmart DVD software.  Make a right click on the program icon you want to remove and select uninstall.  During the process, that you may be asked to remove the registry entries, simply select all and then click on remove.  Do the same for any left over files and folders.  Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the PC.

  Then, download the latest installer for MediaSmart DVD on the link below and save it to your desktop.

  FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp50501-51000/sp50935.exe

  If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip.  Right click on the installation program you download, select Extract 7 - Zip, select the files, and then click Ok.  Open the newly extracted folder, open src and scroll down until you see the application setup ( 6th in the background with a size of 310 KB ).  This Application Configuration right click and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once the installation is complete, restart the computer and see if you can now read your Blu - ray discs.

  Kind regards
