Cannot read the OS DVD, but can read the Diag CD sata disc?
Greetings,
Laptop is the famous brick of overheating creatively titled DV6416CA.
I had to format the new hard drive after the original hard drive fried. (HP says too bad with that in short).
It now sports a WD3200BVET which is sata 5400 320gigs. I had installed Windows 7 during about 6 months now.
It was great. Life was good. I was happy. My daughter, wife and mother-in-law all used to watch movies online.
Then they got a virus that has rendered useless map of wireless network and in the end, I was told by 2 different specialists to give up and reinstall. So I said OK. I'll reinstall with the same dvd that I used last time. But it was not to be.
Somehow, I can read the diag cd I have but when I insert a dvd of Vista (a real one) it will not read it. He tries, but giving up at the end I tried the DVD (the original one) and also one dvd of Windows 7 on 2 other workstation without problem.
Therefore, I can not install the OS from scratch on this laptop using the DVD player.
The BIOS is also sport all options, for example, the IDE compatibility or such.
Just the phone does not have a DVD OS...
Thanks for the help
Antoine
PS: with 3 generations of angry women, waiting for this I need all the help I can get! LOLz
Perhaps because it is the laser burnt out or defective DVD it reads cd but not dvd. Have you tried to boot from XP cd?
You could try a 4 GB USB Flash drive to create a W7 bootable Installer.

need vista in windows vista 64-bit upgrade Express dvd, but can't without a yellow sticker? is - this saposed to be somewhere on my pc? or on the vista cd case? and how to make the upgrade without the sticker?
32-bit to 64-bit is NOT an upgrade path.
It must be done with a clean installation using a Vista FULL 64-bit disk/license.
Buy a version of disk/license FULL Vista 64 bits of your local computer, or online store: amazon, newegg, etc.

Hello
Follow these steps to reinstall the Beats Audio interface.
Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.
http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp52501-53000/sp52658.exe
One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers. Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.
When you are done, reboot the laptop and let Windows load completely. Open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation. When this has completed, restart the computer again.
Kind regards

I wanted to create a RESET DISK of PASSWORD, but NOOOOO - my machine has a FLOPPY DRIVE. No product only the CD/DVD PLAYERS and one cannot change the a drive to a different letter designation.
If you really NEED to do this, you are up the proverbial Creek, apparently. Hard to believe! How long has he given now that ANYONE used FLOPPEIES (small square disks)? Certainly, we are asked not to believe that nobody is realized for this oversight! I TRIED a CD/DVD - no dice. My machine has 2 CD/DVD players, a Terrabyte Mobile with a slot drive. My spouse has built this machine, and it is ensured that there are enough USB connectors that I could plant some tulips! (It's photography & video editing - retirees have a busy life, that pays well.) There are sites for readers of any persuasion EXCEPT the 1998 'PLACE floppy DISKS'. Also, as with most machines, I do not want to return and crush things that my husband has a loading on the drives and call other than the names they bear within the network as things go well, otherwise. We can't decide to call H Drive (CD/DVD drive), drive A, to say, just for the sake of my need to create a password reset disk. My machine does not allow me to do things on the "fly". I have to create a NEW one (and download something from those that already exist). A ray of light shines through the same mess! I think that maybe I can use a "USB key"? Does not have a CD rom, but just explore, I ran across the words using a player instead of 'A' USB flash drive. Hoping that USB key or "memory stick" is acceptable!

Hi Janice,.
If you are using Vista, please see the following: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/create-a-vista-password-reset-disk-using-a-usb-flash-drive/547.
If using Windows 7, please see the following: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/use-a-usb-flash-drive-to-create-windows-password-reset-disk-in-windows-7/4142?tag=rbxccnbtr1.
From what I read, it seems quite simple and easy in both cases. And not worry about drive letters - it will take whatever drive letter you choose (or who has been assigned to the flash player).
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Windows vista HP didn't not load because the system registry is missing or corrupted state 0x000014c and the cd cannot read the recovery disk, could someone help, thanks
Hello help 757,
My apologies for the delay in the answer here.
We need to check the BIOS of the machine and make sure that the CD drive is the first boot device.
When this is complete, we can use the following article:

Cannot access a Web site, but can ping IP addresses on the internet
-With the help of Vista SP2 64-bit on laptop faulty.
-Number of computers on the same network have access to the internet.
-Tried several network interfaces on this laptop, but no luck for access to the network, wired or wireless
-From this notebook, I can ping addresses Internet IP so the problem seems to be the side DNS.
-Flushing DNS cache and reset the network interface.
-Rebooted several times.
What did I miss?
Thanks in advance
Hey easternguy,.
Check if you can test the Web site by name.
To do this:
a. Click Start and type cmd.
b. press ENTER.
c. type the following command:
ping hostname
Ping uses name resolution to resolve a computer by IP address name. Therefore, if you successfully ping the IP address but you cannot ping a computer name, there is a problem with host name resolution, and no network connectivity.
Case 1: If you can not ping the Web site using its address, follow these steps.
In this case, try changing your host file.
In the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc Hosts files may be damaged or corrupted.
Review the contents of your HOSTS file and compare it to the screenshot below. There is no need to worry about any line that starts with a # is ignored by Windows. In addition, the line "127.0.0.1 localhost" can be ignored without risk, because it is a standard input.
Everything that appears in your HOSTS file without a # earlier this year, aside from the "127.0.0.1 localhost" line, should be regarded with suspicion when we try to diagnose the cause of the problem. The fastest way to test the involvement of HOSTS file is to just rename the host file. By changing the name of the HOSTS file, prevent us Internet Explorer to use it and so all problems caused by the file.
Case 2:
If you can ping external websites by IP address and name, but can't browse the web, probably your browser is misconfigured.
Check that you do not have an incorrect Proxy Server affected necessary or not.
For Internet Explorer, follow these steps.
a. open Internet Explorer.
b. go to Tools / Internet Options.
c. click on the Connections tab.
d. click the LAN Settings button.
"e. uncheck both" "automatically detect settings" and "use a proxy server for your LAN '.
This should be it.
Kind regards

DVD-RW/CD-RW Combo does not read DVD but can play CD
I used to have Windows XP on my laptop. I then decided to do a fresh install of Vista. Since I've upgraded to Vista, I put a DVD, then it asks me to "Please insert the disc in drive E". I have the latest firmware and have obtained the Windows drivers.
I really need my DVD player so I can watch movies on a holiday. Any help appreciated
Hello!
The sound of it, looks like a hardware problem but on the other hand as you say that the problem has occurred after that you installed Vista. For this, there are very less reasons. but you can try the following, if it works.
1. go in Device Manager, click on the dvd/cd rom drives and do a right-click of your player, click on uninstall and then you restart. The reader will be installed again when you restart. get a disc cleaner for dvd lens and clean you drive with it.
If the first did not help
2. If you can do it yourself its good else take your laptop to a Mech and tell him to remove the drive and start the computer. then stop it and install the drive into the slot, tighten the screw and start your computer. This could help.
on the other
3. check if you insert a dvd does show all of the data at all? If another player gains a firend or ask Mech. install another drive and check it works.

Inspiron E1505 - reads/Burns DVD but can't read or burn CDs
In the last two months, (shortly after my warranty expired, ARGHH!), my Sony DW-Q58A ceased to read or burn or even recognizing CDs all together. Is this a common problem? It is simple to fix? I'm not at all afraid to start opening that baby, not that it is more under warranty but it wouldn't hurt to have some guidance on what to do. not reading CD not during boot or the other, is not associated with windows.

Cannot view mutual fund statements, but can view other parts of the site
I can access my mutual fund site and see everything except my statements.
On Safari, I can view everything, including statements.
What gives?I know it may seem illogical, but... The file that stores the preferences of what to do with different kinds of downloads may be damaged. Sometimes the program that handles that type of file from A to B, record, then return B attach it will switch. Anyway, you're back in business.

Just bought a new Asus laptop.
4710HQ-i7 CPU @ 2.50 GHz
16 GB of ram
64-bit Operation
NVIDIA Geforce GTX860m
I installed PPCC2014. I can't import files from a Canon XF300 .mxf. I CAN import them into CS6 on the same laptop computer.
I've been editing, .mxf files on my desktop to the PP years and for the last year on CC2014
I tried to take the files, .mxf on the folder (which contains the .cif, .xml and .sif file) and import only and it does not work.
The message I get is "not supported or damaged file."
I tried to import by dragging and using import in the first.
Someone knows what could happen?
Thanks for your help.

Hello
I came across this before. Seems that Premiere Pro is not properly enabled. I suggest the following:
Sign out of the creative cloud app and exit (Quit option will be available after a few seconds).
Now move the following folders on the desktop:
(1) SLCache
Windows: OS Lecteur\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe
Mac: Adobe/Library/Application Support/Adobe
(2) SLStore
Windows: OS drive\ProgramData\Adobe
Mac: Adobe/Library/Application Support/Adobe
(3) OOBE
Windows: OS Drive\
\AppData\Local\Adobe Users\ directoryMac: /users / / Library/Application Support/Adobe
Launch of Premiere Pro and sign in with your Adobe ID
NOTE: Make sure that your Anti Virus/Firewall is blocking all the Adobe activation servers. Alternatively, you can also check your file "hosts" for any changes.
If it does not help, I suggest you to runs the CC for Adobe apps cleaning tool to uninstall and reinstall: use of the cleaning tool CC to resolve installation problems. CC, CS3 - CS6
Thank you

Hello
Your printer model do not support a full borderless printing, must not exceed the specified margin and it is a limitation of the hardware.
You can find his record of handling of paper below:
Borderless printing: No http://www8.hp.com/in/en/products/printers/product-detail.html?oid=7174564#!tab=specs
Minimum printer margins are 2.96 mm high, right and 14.5 mm (1.45 cm) for the lower left margins and margins of the page, the printer cannot exceed and to print on these margins, see the section called paper handling > margins below:

Satellite L450 - 173 BIOS cannot detect the HARD whil eLinux disc that ubunto can
I have a Satellite L450 173.
The system will display a failure while trying to detect the hard drive then cannot boot from the hard drive.However, it can boot from the CD and install ubunto 11.04 (with barrier).
However, after the success in the installation process, the system cannot start...
Is this a Bios problem that require an update?Hello
* Question: *.
Either classified and recognized in the BIOS HARD drive?
On the first page of the BIOS disk HARD should be listed with details such as the name and the size of the HARD drive.If his list, then you must run a HARD drive test. You could test the HARD drive by using a freeware tool called Drive Fitness Test.
This tool is free and can be downloaded from different pages
To do this, and if there is error, it means that your HARD drive is malfunctioning.
