• Want T15 - J100 Quad Edition Tou: recover the BIOS of the laptop using an external storage device

  So, from the start of my screen is empty and Caps Lock flashes 2 times.  I tried the Windows key + B + power key without success as indicted here:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02693833?JumpID=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0003

  I tried to recover the BIOS with an external storage device but HP's Software and driver download page does not have BIOS updated.  I've updated for Windows 10.

  Where is the BIOS update that is supposed to be here? :

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-envy-15-J100-Quad-Edition-Notebook-PC-series/6521...

  This model seems to have a lot of problems with what I find it everywhere on the internet, but the solutions all return to the download of the update of the BIOS.  I noticed that I can download an update for Windows 8.1.  Are there not one for Windows 10 yet?  Can I use the 8.1?

  The BIOS in the list of drivers of Windows 8 is the last exit for your model. You can use it regardless of the operating system because the BIOS recovery is run outside of Windows.

  BTW-to help the Windows key + B keys. When you press and release the power button / continue to hold the buttons for a few seconds see if BIOS recovery screen appears. I know that it is different from the document - but try it.

• Cannot find the specified device, path, or file. May not be the appropriate permissions for access you.

  Hey everybody,

  I was running Windows vista professional for more than 2 years yesterday, I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled vista prof. (entirely new, different CD key). Everything works very well excenp for one thing - I had saved some of the programs and files on my external hardrive before formatting my laptop. Now, when I try to access these files I get the following msg-"cannot find the specified device, path, or file." You don't have permission to access them. ".
  I am logged in as administrator.
  
  
  Help, please. I reallly need the files.
  
  
  Any help would be appreciated.
           

  Hey Jihirshu,

  It looks like permissions.

  Try this on one of the files on the disk to see if it allows you to copy the files.

  1 right click on the file, then select Properties
  2. click on the Security tab
  3. click on change, in the name box, type "Everyone".
  4. in the boxes next to the permissions below, put 'Total control' for everyone
  5. click OK, and then close the dialog boxes
  6. try to copy the file that you just modified.

  If the works above, you must change the permissions on all the files you want to copy.  Normally, you can just highlight all the and follow the steps above to change the permissions on all files at the same time.

  I get the too common but seemingly irreparable "Windows has encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device...". Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to intall it. The system cannot find the file specified. "

  The job of printer/copier/fax end but not go on the scanner.

  I tried the 'fixes' to epson.com repeatedly with no luck.  This includes their reccomendation uninstall/install several times, trying even to this process in safe mode and clean boot the.

  I ran the program to 'fix' Microsoft ATS with no luck.  It has detected the error and said that the problem has been resolved, but guess what?  No, it isn't.

  I clicked on install update driver/driver from Device Manager.

  I tried the work around, eliminating the "LowerFilters" of the registry.  Guess what?  You have it, no luck.

  So, before I go and buy a new printer/scanner, with no guarantee that they will work.  Does anyone have another suggestion?

  I am running Vista, 32-bit.

  You can also try and replace or install the ntprint.inf file.

  I had a similar problem on a Windows 7 PC and noticed that this file was not present.  I just copied the file from a different PC Win7.  The printer, I tried to install was a Brother MFC-J410w.

• I can find driver for my dvd writer dose not work Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) _ dvd writer ad - 7530 has ata thanks

  Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) has .dvd rw ad - 7530 ata

  Hello

  Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
  the question.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  --------------------------------------------------------------

  Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it
  are you can reinstall the 'old'. Many use Windows default drivers however some special aura
  ones. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• HP Envy 15-j139TX: the BIOS using external storage recovery does not work.

  My HP Envy 15-j139TX got stuck (frozen) and I force closure by long pressing the power button. I tried to start by pressing the power button, it shows a black screen (display off) and the capslock continues to Flash.

  I did research on the problem and discovered that the issue was "the BIOS corruption failure" according to the information on the link below:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01732674/

  I tried to recover the BIOS using an external storage device by following the instructions at the link below:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02693833

  But it did not work. The lights keep flashing. I have my files b.SC. thesis on the computer and their need for pronto. (If not my life is pretty well made)

  I also couldn't find the files for version 10 of Windows (64-bit) to my laptop, so I tried with one I downloaded from another site and I got a BIOS of Windows 8.1 HP site.

  Is there anyway I can fix it soon or get my files as soon as possible. Help, please!

  Have you ever updated the BIOS before?

  If you have, you should be able to recover the BIOS using the Windows key + key B method.

  All holding the key Windows + B button down, press the power button and wait to see if the laptop responds with a message of recovery of the BIOS on screen.

  As my wife continued his mastery, I insisted on his recording of his files periodically to our home network NAS.

  You can remove the hard drive and connect it to a desktop computer to get the files from it. You can connect the hard drive to a USB to sata cable to connect it to a laptop.   Instructions to access the disk by opening the back door are on page 42 of the maintenance and service guide. The hard drive is part replaceable by the user, so you don't have to worry about voiding the warranty.

  Your notebook is new enough to have the recovery key enter BIOS update available. Use the F.65 version in the Windows 8.1 driver download section. the softpaq is at the following ADDRESS.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp69501-70000/sp69886.exe

  You will need at least 256 MB usb key to create a USB rcovery to recover the BIOS with. BIOS update softpaq will offer the opportunity of creating a recovery USB. I used the method on multiple occasions and it worked for me.

• SE error message: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The unit may be damaged or missing. "When you try to install new drivers for DVD players

  Original title: CD/DVD drives do not work after upgrade from XP to Vista

  I upgraded my dell E521 to Vista dimension, but now finds that none of the CD/DVD drives work.  I also tried two external drives, same thing.  I downloaded the new drivers for the internal disks and when I tried to install the windows said they already had the best drivers.  Both drives are TSST - I get device status "windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The unit may be damaged or missing. "I want to upgrade to 7, but can not run the dvd, and apparently MS has no download available if you purchase cd!  Am tearing my hair!

  Hi krt2,

  In general, the error can be caused by a missing required device driver, a required binary file is damaged, if there is a problem with the process I/O file, or if a pilot that makes reference to an entry point in another binary file which can not load

  You can try to uninstall and reinstall the driver for the device to solve this problem.

  Step 1: Uninstall the CD/DVD driver. Follow this step to do the same thing:

  a. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click System and Maintenance and then click Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  b. expand CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drives-> right click on the device, and then click Properties.

  c. on the device properties dialog box, click the driver tab, and then click on uninstall.

  d. restart your computer.

  Step 2: Reinstall the CD/DVD driver by visiting the manufacturer's Web site.

  See the links below for more details on the update of drivers:
