How to get around the BIOS Lock Windows 7 (Windows)

and install Linux OS flavor...

Guide me as soon as POSSIBLE...

It wasn't a problem with the BIOS settings...
The question is how HP handles the boot device for locked bios of laptop computers.

You cannot boot any os other than OS locked.

Deviation is boot Ubuntu via USB HDD and install...
subsequently install updated BIOS (from Ubuntu using Insyde Orginal Patch) to definitively solve the problem...

  • Cannot install any os in a hp pavilion dv5 - 1120ev

    Hi, my friend has an hp pavilion dv5 - 1120ev, he had top, pre installed windows vista. He asked me that if I could make the computer faster, so I told him, of course, you need to change OS to do this, you must install windows 7, I said. So I took with me, put windows 7 dvd, boot from the cd/dvd drive, deleted all partitions, even the recovery partition (I didn't know it came without a copy of disk recovery tools), partitioned the drive into 2 two new partitions, formatted and continued to install the os on the primary. The dvd that I used has all versions of windows 7, 32 and 64 bit, tried all, it gets stuck on the process of expansion, to 0% files (only with one version, she was 14%, I can't remember which), and it gives me the "windows cannot install required files. the file may be corrupted or missing. "Sure... error code: 0 x 80070017. Then, I tried with another dvd with winodws 7 ultimate, same thing. I also tried with the disc do not split into two, one partition, just in case windows is having problems expanding all of the files, just in case, same thing. Then I thought it was a bios thing, he had to be updated, which to be honest there cause of the version it is F.0C, and in the support section of the hp site, I found a newer version of it, which is also described as necessary for the latest operating system upgrade. I thought wow, that's it, I found it, I will upload a version of it bootable, version bootable cd to be precise, cause the bios version there back does not support booting from usb devices, I'll update it and install the operating system. NOPE. The site has an exe of the bios version. I tried to make a disk bootable with the bios in there (with the option of nero boot disc), I guess that I've not done it right, it could be a solution, but I could use some help on this. I also tried to install windows xp, so that I can install it the update of the bios, the same thing, I get the same error, only with the old blue sceen scholl. Finally, I tried to install windows vista Home premium, just in case the bios for a reason any has only accepted this operating system, no way, same error again! So now I'm not stuck wth no operating system, a pc unusable, nothing can be installed on it. I asked my friend that if the cd/dvd drive had some kind of problem, he said, had no problem with game discs, their loading and installation of games. Please HELP I don't know what to do! Thank you

    Nevermind, I managed to solve the problem by taking the hard drive, put it in another phone and the windows installation, then put it back. It worked like charm, so the problem is 100% on the DVD player.

    Thank you

  • Cannot install Ubuntu 14.04.2 on Acer Aspire E5 - 511G with Windows 8

    Hello. I have tried everything I can to install Ubuntu 14.04.2 alongside Windows 8 on my laptop and I'm not going to be successful. I have Ubuntu on a USB key, and whatever I have, I get the message "the system has no USB boot option." So far, I have:

    -Disabled the quick start.

    -Disabled Secure Boot UEFI firmware settings.

    -Tried to set the USB FDD and USB HDD at the top of the order of priority of Boot and Windows Boot Manager to the lowest priority.

    These measures appear to allow most people to access Ubuntu on their flash drive, but it does not work for me. Anyone know what I can try? Is there anyone here who has the same model and who has installed Ubuntu?

    If USB is not, probably you did not create a proper EFI bootable USB.

    Rufus allows you to create a bootable USB flash drive, selecting only for UEFI system.

    Please re-enable secure too boot.

  • UCS C220 M3 - cannot install Ubuntu 14.04 OS

    Hi all

    I'm new to Cisco servers and we bought 3 servers UCS C220 M3.

    For one of them, I would like to had installed an operating system Ubuntu (14.04). I tried hard but unsuccessfully to install the operating system on the server.

    On this server, I have only one physical hard drive, because I'm not really interested in getting the RAID on this server. Initially, I started on a USB with Ubuntu image and installation worked fine. Then, I tried to boot from the hard drive, but it was impossible to find the hard drive in the boot menu.

    You have no idea about it? I suspect that this is because the RAID of LSI sotfware controller is enabled and one thing to note is that I have not installed FlexFlash Cisco's SD card. Is - this mandatory? When I try to configure RAID 0, so I'm not able to install ubuntu (impossible to detect the drive with the Ubuntu Installer).

    Thanks for any help!

    If you set the UCS SW storage battery in AHCI mode, Setup see your local hard drive then?

    What is the hard disk that you installed? Depending on whether you install a 32-bit or 64-bit OS and size of the disk you are installing, it may require that the UEFI boot options.

    Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI for Ubunto UEFI install help.

    If you have an installation ISO that you used to create the bootable installation USB, you might want to consider editing than the ISO via the virtual KVM, on the tab of the VM and begin your installer in this way.  This will require that a compatible version of Java to be active in your browser.

    If you do not have a longer boot disk 2 TB, you might want to consider to keep everything in legacy bios mode and avoid the complexity of UEFI which can sometimes appear.

    For drivers, these will actually be the C600 Intel or Intel AHCI drivers (depending on the mode you're looking for).

    See the Readme in ucs-cxxx-drivers.2.0.8b.iso\Linux\Storage\Intel\AHCI\Ubuntu\14.04\ AHCI driver said that the ahci driver is already provided with the operating system...

    I must stress that for Ubuntu, I see not all versions or versions of firmware that have been officially supported for the SR on board or AHCI controller.  Please visit http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/ucs/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

    Although you are able to run in AHCI mode, it is not officially test/pick-up.

    In my view, the controller AHCI/PCH 6 port included with theM4 C240 is supported in Ubunto 14.04.

  • Cannot install Ubuntu Server 64-bit

    Hey, I have a doubt, I think that my processor supports 64-bit operating system, then why I install Ubuntu Server 64-bit on VMWare?

    My processor is Intel Pentium Dual-Core T3200 2.00 GHz

    Some conditions must be met before a 64-bit guest OS could be virtualized:

    1. the transformer must be able to handle VT

    2. in the bios, this option should be enabled

    3. the host operating system should be a 64 bit OS in order to get good performance of the guest

    Theoretically, it might be possible to run OS 64 - bit almost under a 32-bit host OS, but performance will be poor due to the emulation instead of virtualization. If this is not an option.

  • Cannot install Ubuntu

    Hello

    I just got my new Ideacentre A310 all-in-one desktop computer.

    I never intend to use the operating system pre-installed, so I started the system, read the license agreement of MS and rebooted with my Ubuntu 10.10 live-USB.

    Now, something strange has not arrived. The live-USB has been recognized and began to initiate, bus and then the screen just erased, and the keyboard went unresponsive. I tried again and I tested the live-USB on my old laptop - and I'm still stuck.

    Can someone explain why this happens? Then point to the solution of the problem?

    cordially Wullepoliticiens

    Problem solved.
    I created my live-USB with UNetbootin instead of detault Ubuntus Creater of startup disk. And my new PC is now running.
    For some reason any SDC done something wrong for this particular situation (it works fine for my old HP laptop and my Acer netbook).

  • HP pavilion DV7-6c10so: cannot install HP Quick Launch on HP Pavilion DV7-6c10so

    I am really pulling my hair out on this one. Recently I swapped my brothers HARD drive into his laptop, and with that we decided to do a clean installation of windows. Evrything went smooth and well with the excavation and activate Windows. But I ran to a problem with the installation of some software and drivers HP. All drivers except 2 would install properly. Once, it was a hassel to install were the drivers Bluetooth and wi - fi. That's what happened when I tried to launch the exe to install:

    A window opens saying some information on im about to install software. I press next here.

    in the next step, I accept the EULA and press Next.

    Then begins the extraction process and once it has been done the window close.

    After this a windows installer window appears saying: preparing for installation...

    This was followed by: Please wait while Windows install configures the installation...

    During this stage, the progress bar fills upp to 100% and the window closes, and that's all. No message telling me the installation was a success or a failure. no error code or message. If I check the Device Manager I can be that the driver is not installed. I solved this problem by right-clicking on the device and then choose install driver and then find the extracted folder and choose the driver in there.

    But here's the tricky part and my problem, I need the software of quick launch buttons asswell but Installer is broken here as well. but since this isn't a driver I can't operate by itself.

    I let the Installer do its thing and all that with the drivers just sort of stops. No messagege not nothing. The program does not appear in the Control Panel, the task bar or in active processes (yes I restarted the computer). However I find it under Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel, so the computer thinks its installed. the same for HP software executives, but it is not as important.

    If I go to the extracted installation location I get a lage Setup window that says welcome to the quick launch HP Setup Wizard. Here, I choose to remove it ocr fix/repair it. I tried manny time to fix but I doesent help. I uninstalled and then installed using this installer manny thus times. Nothing helps. but atleasst with this installer, I get a quick launch of HP has been successfully installed message, yet it doesent work.

    what I tried:

    I installed each updates windows and .net.

    I tried to install an older version (for software farmeworks and quick launch).

    I reformatted and reinstalled the computer once again to see if the problem was caused by windows.

    go to the installation folder and run there (only for software frameworks).

    News of the computer:

    model: HP Pavilion DV7-6c10so

    Shipping os OS: Windows 7 Home premium x 64

    After reformatting operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium x 64

    I'm in the desperaste need to get this working because it's my brothers computer and it needs today to come back later and I said wrong I work just like before.

    Sorry for the bad English everybody!

    Hello

    In this case, it may be worth trying the following.

    Uninstall the current version QLB and restart.

    Download the version from the following link and save the installation program.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56929.exe

    Use software such as 7-Zip manually extract the contents of the Setup program, and then run the setup.exe routine (20 KB) as an administrator since the extraction folder.

    This can or can not give an indication that it completed - if not, leave it for 5 minutes, then restart.

    If it still does not work, check if the routines are present in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Hewlett-Packard\HP quick launch area and let me know - I'm going to work but to hope to be back within the hour.

    In fact there is no driver for your GPU.

  • Cannot install Laserjet 4 on xp HP Pavilion computer.

    I try to install my HP Laserjet 4 on my HP Pavilion computer.  I bought two new, years ago, but they were never together until now.  The computer was in my office and the printer was at home.  The printer was working on a different HP Pavilion for a long time and it now works when it is connected to other computers, so I know it's good.

    I downloaded ljJ632en.exe on the site of HP drivers.  I ran that file and unpacked the 29 files to c:\lj632 and reported it was done.  The printer is still not recognized by Notepad or Word.  I tried to restart and did the download and he ran three times, sometimes with some afterwords restarts and sometimes without.  Should I sent the files downloaded to another location?  Is there something else I'm missing?

    The operating system is Windows XP, Version 2002, Service Pack 3.

    I'm puzzled.

    Thank you, Magali.  Your solution did not work because the Panel did not show my printer in printers and faxes.  Your answer has led me to try the function of adding new hardware and it worked.  In case someone else needs to use it, here are the steps:

    Control Panel

    Adding hardware (opens the Add Hardware Wizard)
    Next
    Yes
    Next
    Add a new hardware device
    Next
    Find and install automatically
    Next
    If the printer is not found, click Next
    Printers
    Next
    Use the following port: LPT1
    Next
    Highlight in the left for HP
    Highlight as part of right for HP Laserjet 4
    Next
    Keep the existing driver
    Next
    Print a test page

  • Cannot install XP X 64 in HP Pavilion DV5-1203ax

    Hi all

    I have trouble to install VMWARE in my laptop that is currently installed with Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. I then decided to go to XP X 64 bit and during the installation, I got a blue screen error message before you even load all files.

    Error message: STOP: 0x0000007b (0xfffffadf90a323c0)

    Help, please.

    Thank you very much

    Prince

    Also please let me know that the reader downloads for XP x 64 for DV5-1203ax

    Hello

    There are big problems with the drivers for XP 64 bit version, software, etc. This version is not as good as another system supported. I know that the there is a difference which can be very important to you. Then XP 32 bit can contain only 3, 5 GB of Ram and 64-bit version that can take all this chipset. If you need Ram full for any program or any other thing the best choice is to use both systems. One will be XP32 bit and second x 64 Vista or Win7 x 64 which is now in beta test mode.

    Until you do anything please readmy all post, please.

    Don't forget also then before starting the change for dual-boot on you laptop you need to prepare the XP CD. All information on this subject, you will find in the section of downgrade XP 32 bit which is written below in this post.

    If you want to use two systems on your computer, you will need to do it like this:

    Has) for Vista x 64 with XP 32 bit: how to dual boot with Vista installed first guide here.

    B) for XP 32 bit with Win7 x 64: how to dual boot with 32-bit XP installed first guide here.

    Downgrade XP 32 bit:

    Decommissioning of this model is not always easy, and your model is designed to work well with Vista. Please check first that link written by Joshua Wood and concentrate on problems that may appear when you install the sound card in it.

    Before going down do Vista backup. Here you have all the information, how do.

    Now you need to integrate your drivers Sata (only x 86 drivers) with nLite.

    Here are the Sata drivers for you. Just unRAR it drivers with Winrar.

    Here you will find the file .doc with guide how to integrate this with Windows XP Sata driver. (You will need to open the Microsoft Office).

    Here you will find the file with the same guide *.pdf . (You must open the Acrobat Reader software. Download link for this program here. Select your language and your system it.).

    Also, remember that you use at least version of WinXP SP2 . If you have not got the version SP2 here you can download this service pack and here you have a guide to how to integrate this with XP file written by nLite.

    In nLite, you can even burn your new XP CD with these changes.

    All the drivers, you will find in the guide of Cheryl General Guide of Downgrade XP for HP Laptops_Part 3.

    If you have problems make me know about it. I'll try to help you as quickly as possible.

  • Cannot DISABLE the speakers of an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC

    Greetings! I recently downloaded updates for the computer. Now, my speakers and the headphones does not work. I have an amber mute button that turns it on my screen on the upper left side of my keyboard. I can't activate this button. I don't have a system restore point which will allow me to restore the system to a working state before recently downloaded updates have been installed. I tried to restore the default values for my speakers. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am logged in as administrator. Help, please! Best regards, Stewart

    Greetings BHK6! I discovered the solution to the problem. I restored the ORIGINAL AUDIO DRIVER. The function of speakers now. My question came on 27 December 2013 when I allowed a useless update. I went several days without the sound on my computer, and I am grateful to have the restored sound. I should have tried this solution to restore the ORIGINAL AUDIO DRIVERS several days ago. Thanks for your help. Blessings, Stewart
