• HP Pavilion Sleekbook PC 14: Recovery of Windows 8: PC in a reboot cycle?

  Laptop model: HP Pavilion Sleekbook PC 14
  Product number: C7D58PA #AKL
  The system board ID: 18F9
  BIOS version: F 18
  Editor BIOS: Insyde

  64-bit Windows 8 (I think, unless he updated to 8.1 I don't know)

  No drive CD or DVD (Ultrabook).

  It is a laptop from a friend. At one point, he pointed out that it shows just a black screen with the mouse cursor after the start it (after loading Windows 8). He has no idea of what happened before that, I read a lot of online reports of people having problems after such a broken Microsoft updates for Windows 8 or 8.1.

  Anyway, it goes well with the idea of "clean install", nothing needs to be backed up. Recovery media (USB key) was created at the time. I start the laptop with the recovery media and get to HP Recovery Manager. I select 'Factory Reset' which is supposed to erase the whole hard drive and restore the initial factory condition.

  After some time (30-60 minutes, not sure), it has completed preparations, which I assume were re - create the recovery on the hard drive partition, etc. It is said the PC will start itself several times during the recovery process, and I should not meddle. Ok then.

  After I let it continue, Notepad starts, HP logo and the circle of rotation. After a while, I see a glimpse of what appears to be an empty office of Windows and a window that says something like:

  HP laptop
  < date > < time > (e.g. 14/08/2015 11:15)
  Please wait...

  (there is a button in there I think)

  Which is available for a fraction of a second, but then the laptop restarts automatically just and this very fact time and time again, showing this dialog screen each time after you start HP logo. I waited about 8 hours, and it continued just do so that even, it seems that the recovery process is interrupted every time with a reboot. If this restart is due to a system error, where I can see the journal, IE. What is the error?

  So, what to do next? I have reset defaults in case where (though I think that nothing has ever changed in any case) BIOS, no effect. I have not tried to update the BIOS, but even if I find a new/UEFI BIOS for this laptop, I would try rather than as a last resort, or after that I have the PC back on.

  I also tried the other recovery options, lighter, ('System Recovery' and 'Reduced Image recovery') prior to "Factory Reset", but they have not yet further, I think.

  In addition, I ran a full system check in the start menu (RAM and hard drive), everything was reported as fine.

  Yet one thing that may or may not serious, in case there is a problem of Windows 8: since the PC HP is bought in Thailand, it has a cheaper, 'reduced' Windows 8 version. It's a play full version, but apparently a kind of 'reduced' version that Microsoft sells cheaper on some countries, such as the Thailand. I'm not entirely sure what the restrictions are, at least you can not change the language of Windows system after the initial selection of IIRC (when Windows 8 was executed first to complete installation preloaded, English was chosen as the language of the system).

  I mention this only because I'm not sure if it causes certain restrictions on workarounds, such as the use of some other Windows 8/8.1 recovery media created on another PC or downloaded an ISO from Microsoft, or somesuch. I have already learned the hard way that not all editions of Windows seem to be created equal with regard to the options of recovery, being able to launch the etc SafeMode (at least this was the case with my Windows 7, a lot of instructions online for just would not work on it because they are expecting boot options that simply weren't there).

  USB media recovery that I use is created initially, according to HP.

  Problem solved. Steps to follow:

  1. forget about HP recovery. Of course it does not work for me little matter how I pray, I went to come and clean up the entire hard drive of all partitions (I presume that the recovery partition went too).

  2. create the installation media Windows 8.1 with Microsoft http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media media creation tool

  I created the USB media on a USB flash drive of 8 GB on another PC. It will work and install correctly on Windows 8 system, no need to install first 8.0 and then he move to 8.1.

  3 boot from the installation media, install (I chose the option to not save or move anything old windows, after all he was not supposed to be any previous Windows installed) and a great success. I guess you have to download and install drivers from HP separately, perhaps,

  In fact, I am now upgrading to Win10.

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your post about the duty to restore the HP Recovery Manager and wanted to help.

  Here is the download link for the HP Recovery Manager: Latest HP Recover Manager download

  But facility that will not do you much good if you went to Win8.1, because the recovery files were pre-installed on your computer, not Win8.1, and the Windows Update did not update these files.

  So, if you do a recovery, and it works (which he could not, now that you have upgraded), it will only restore you back to Win8, not Win8.1.

  And, there is nowhere you can download the files needed for the recovery of the Win8.1.
  
  Good luck

• Want to downgrade to genuine Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows Server 2003 on my HP Pavilion DV4t-1600

  Hello

  IM struggling to downgrade my factory installed windows 7 to windows server 2003 on my HP Pavilion DV4t-1600

  Pls help me to do that and also provide me with changes to the BIOS (if any)

  Hi Virginia,

  If you have the full support for Windows Server 2003 (not an upgrade), your only option is to install clean (full). You can not downgrade Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows Server 2003. You must do a clean install. Back up your important files, start the Windows Server 2003 DVD and proceed with the installation as usual.

  Don't forget to mark this reply as useful if it helped you, and let me know what happens.

  Hi, Henrik:

  Specifications of your PC seem to meet all of the hardware requirements to be able to fully run W7.

  P D 915 processor is capable of 64-bit.

  ( (4M-Cache-2_80-GHz-800-MHz-FSB http://ark.intel.com/products/27515/Intel-Pentium-D-Processor-915-)

  I recommend you max on your memory to 4 GB as a 64-bit operating system requires more memory to run a 32 bit OS.

  A 32 bit OS will perform better on a PC that is running less than 4 GB of memory, unless you need a 64-bit system to run 64-bit programs.

  I would also start the W7 Upgrade Advisor to confirm what I posted.

• HP Pavilion Sleekbook b030el and Windows 7

  Product: HP Pavilion Sleekbook b030el

  A friend of mine just bought a HP Pavilion Sleekbook b030el
  Unfortunately, HP officially supports only Windows 8 for this computer.

  I think that Windows 8 is - by far - the worst operating system Microsoft ever released. Worse than Vista. Worse than Millennium Edition, too. Without a doubt. It is completely unusable and useless on something else that a Tablet, and existing operating systems for tablets are by far better than Windows 8 on this kind of devices.

  Is there a quick way to know if Pavillion Sleekbook 15 - b030el material is fully supported by Windows 7?
  Thank you very much.

  You are the very welcome.

  There should be a program (app) in the menu of apps everything to make a recovery of the DVD set.

  I strongly recommend doing this before doing anything else.

  I only know that if you install W7 on the C:\ partition, the Recovery Manager will not work.

  I don't know what will happen if you install it anywhere else.

  I have no experience there.

  I remove each partition on my PC and install the OS on one big partition.

  I use recovery disks or partitions. I install a windows disk with an OEM or retail.

  With Windows 8, it must be very careful, because there is no product key and used the recovery disc or partition, or they will have to buy a new operating system.

  The product key is now integrated into the BIOS, which makes Windows obsolete COA stickers.

• Cannot read files .mov, 14 HP Pavilion Sleekbook-b005sa, Windows 8

  My HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14-b005sa has about 8/9 months. Today it stopped just playing .mov on any program files. He had no problems before. I got this error on the application of video:

  

  The photos app, which plays files perfectly before now, now just tells me that it can't read the files of this type. I made each update, that I could find via the HP Support Assistant, but there is no difference.

  I don't know if it's related, but in the last weeks I had many difficulties to get the sound on Youtube type sites to work. Should be cool 5 or more of the page to get the sound to come.

  I googled the error numbers on this message and I got the impression that it is a common bug in Windows 8?

  First of all, try to update the sound and display drivers following two links:

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp59501-60000/sp59802.exe

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp59501-60000/sp59793.exe

  If the problem persists, try to download and install VLC Player from the following link:

  http://www.videolan.org/VLC/download-Windows.html

  This should solve the problem with the playback of the MOV files.

• separate user and HP Pavilion Sleekbook Windows 8 account passwords

  The Black Friday 2013, I bought a HP Pavilion Sleekbook running Windows 8 and has a tactile ability.  After that I loaded an update to 8.1, my computer at the next startup said it was up to the previous version of Windows and tried to make repairs. The operation failed with my refresh attempt.  I had to reset that completely erased my files.  On reboot, the requested lock screen my Microsoft email account and the password, he has not before.  Not knowing not if it would ruin, with a different password, I used the real one not my original password computer.  Now, I have to use my Microsoft account password to unlock my computer.  I want to change my lock screen password change my password of the Microsoft account.  Would defeat the purpose of changing the password.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, TMS
