• Pavilion dv6t-7000 failed to create a virtual hard drive for a dual boot Windows 7 / windows 8

  Hi, I just bought this system, a Hp Pavilion dv6t-7000, Enterntainment CTO notebook PC.  I want to take the amount of space between the C drive and create a virtual hard disk.

  Disk 0 is severed as follows:

  System:

  199 MB NTFS; Primary partition, Active system

  C: 678.60 GB NTFS; Boot, page file, crash dump, primary Partition

  D recovery: 21,53 Go NTFS; Healthy primary partition

  HP_tools 108 MB Fat 32; Healthy primary partition

  I would take 50 GB on C: and create a virtual hard disk to install windows 8 to have a dual boot system.  Can someone point me to a credible link that describes how do this or share the solution?  I tried a process described in TechRepublic where you create a virtual hard disk, and then start on Windows 8, shift f10 in an admin window and try to use diskpart select vdisk file that does not exist, that is to say, I'm not.

  Is there anything else I need to do?  I can do this via disk management?

  Thanks much for any info.

  I found this process is here.

  It seems similar to the process of the technology of the Republic, but it has a few key differences. Give the TechNet process a try it may work because of the extra steps, he has.

• Dual Boot windows Linux 8.1 on Pavilion 17-e157eo

  Will there be a completely safe way for a dual-boot Windows 8.1 and Linux on a Pavilion 17-e157eo?

  I searched the dualboot topics, but solutions do not seem to apply in this case.  Secure boot has been disabled. Quick start has been disabled. In this PC disk partitions are not dynamic but simple.

  Starting from a Live Linux DVD results in a blank screen even if the DVD player is clearly read something.  Is the problem due to the fact that this PC has the INTEL 4600 graphics chip and an AMD Radeon 8670 M?

  A better solution would be to use VMware or VirtualBox, set up a Linux guest operating system, the host system is of course Windows 8.1?

  No problem, glad I could help. If you could mark one of my posts with an acceptable Solution and congratulations if this information was useful, it would be much appreciated and it would be useful to other institutions. Thank you and have a great day!

• HP Pavilion 17 Laptop: SP72853: updated Diagnostics hardware UEFI and Dual boot

  On my HP Pavilion 17 laptop, I have a sollution to dual-boot Microsoft Windows 10 (upgrade to 8.1 pre-installed) and Debian Linux 8.

  In order to start Debian (my main system of fact), I disabled the feature of 'safe start' UEFI. Ago, there was news that Microsoft's UEFI specification had changed and that its previous policy of mandatory "turn off secure boot UEFI" was now an option "enable disabling secure boot UEFI.

  In other words, if I understand it, BIOS/UEFI firmware designed after that Microsoft's policy change can now either you allow to disable secure boot UEFI and allow you to use an alternative OS, such as Debian Linux or they can force UEFI secure boot on you and in this case, you cannot start a system like Debian...

  Thus, with regard to the update UEFI available for my system, SP72853, before installing... I can always disable UEFI secure boot with this update?

  Also, I noticed there is an even more recent update for my UEFI, which I assume that I will be offered to install once SP72853 has been installed. Thus, the same question about SP73263: I can always disable UEFI secure boot with this update of UEFI?

  OK, so I advanced and tested myself.

  First of all, I saved a copy of the previous update of the UEFI (SP72230), so I could go down to him if necessary.

  So I just installed the update through HP Support Assistant, and indeed I can always choose to disable Secure Boot in the BIOS setup and boot Linux very well.

  Just for info.

  EDIT: The latest update did not become an option available on HP Support Assistant now. The diagnostics UEFI version number is however one of the (5.9.0) SP72853 not the most recent one (5.9.1).

• Dual-Boot Pavilion dv6 does not work

  Hello

  I bought a Pavilion dv6 with Windows 7 pre-installed. Now I want to dual-boot with Linux (Fedora).

  (1) this laptop has a 500 GB hard drive. So, using diskmgmt.msc, I shrunk the size of the primary partition by about 100 GB. Now, I have that much free space.

  (2) figured out the magic handshake to get the BIOS to run (the F10 hold to power up).

  (3) connected the DVD of the Fedora Installer. He settled in saying that there is not enough space. Tried several options for installation in 'free space' and 'replace existing Linux installation. Same question. Note that I have not yet tried Ubuntu.

  (4) booted back to Windows 7, looked again diskmgmt.msc. I noticed that I have the following partitions. 'System', which is 200 MB (NTFS), player C which is now 351 GB (NTFS), D drive Recovery 13 GB (NTFS), HP tools 103 MB (FAT32). Here are the possible question, all these partitions are listed as "primary". I read somewhere that there may be only 4 primary partitions (it can be extended partitions).

  My questions are:

  (1) is the fact that all primary readers are allocated to preventing me to install a secondary operating system (in this case Linux)?

  (2) if so, what are the disadvantages of the removal of the partition of HP tools (except perhaps less boring tools automatically runs all the time - with no apparent way to stop).

  Thanks for your interest.

  I've heard nothing back for 20 days, which raises the question to know if HP support people even read this, much less provide support on this forum. In any case, I managed to run dual-boot on mine. I hope this helps someone out there doing similar things. Here are the steps that I had to do (and some I do not have):

  1. Created the HP recovery discs... Well I tried to anyway. This process is configured to do one time only. Unfortunately burning failed on the first (I put by mistake a double layer DVD-R in the drive, but the drive itself is supported) and burning failed, but the process seems to still consider that he "get". Bottom line, if I ever corrupted hard drive, I'm out of luck (unless a HP support person has other suggestions).
  2. Bought a 1 TB external drive which has an ESATA interface with intention to save the different partitions of Windows.
  3. I bought Nero 9, which is supposed to make backups. However, he seems to have a bug where it said that I could not make a backup disk of an account that does not have administrator rights. The account I was using has Admin rights, so I guess that the program cannot handle permissions Windows 7 style yet.
  4. Defragmented the big drive (351 GB) C.
  5. Using diskmgmt.msc, used the "shrink" option to reduce its size to 351 GB GB 251, who did not assigned 100 GB on the disk.
  6. Using diskmgmt.msc, assigned a drive letter to the partition of HP tools (see the list of partitions in the previous post).
  7. Using Windows Explorer, tools HP Score Watch now upward because he received a drive letter (it was not visible before). I copied the contents of HP tools in a folder on the C drive, just in case I needed to get it back. It's only a few MBs.
  8. Once again using diskmgmt.msc, deleted the partition of HP tools. This frees up a single primary partition on the disk.
  9. Rebooted the laptop from the Fedora 12 installation disc. Now grub / gparted is happy because he is free to use partition.
  10. Chose to install grub on the MBR, definition of Win 7 as the default bootloader on the player option.
  11. Completed the full installation of Fedora.

• Disable Secure Boot on HP Pavilion dv6t - b 6, 00 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6t - b 6, 00 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC and I installed 8 64-bit windows.

  I installed the latest version of the BIOS F.1C.

  I want to disable Secure Boot to boot from a USB EFI.

  I started windows in Advanced Mode, but I don't see the option highlighted here: http://www4.pcmag.com/media/images/380851-back-to-windows-7-uefi-firmware-settings.jpg?thumb=y

  My BIOS is locked and I don't have any advanced options there.

  Thank you

  Have a great day.

  If you original computer comes with Windows 7, it is not / is not compatible "Secure Boot. Please see "on UEFI and Start Menu" for more information on access to various start up options and instructions on disabling "Secure Boot".

  To boot from a valid "UEFI USB", the computer must recognize the active UEFI boot device. Some computers are not what UEFI valid "NTFS" format USB Flash Drives UEFI activate and in this case, the USB Flash drive must be formatted in FAT32.

  Use the Boot Menu or Boot Device menu to choose a source of UEFI, such as Windows Boot Manager startup, - internal CD/DVD drive or UEFI - UEFI USB Flash drive.

• Install WD Black2 Dual Drive on a Pavilion dv6t-7000

  Hello

  I recently bought a new internal hard drive for my HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC and have some difficulties to install the drivers for it. I bought a Western Digital Black2 Dual disc, which is a hybrid disk with 120 GB SSD and 1 TB of HARD drive, but I can't access the 1 TB because the installer for WD drivers keeps returning an error code.

  After much digging, I found documentation of the WD site that States the particualr error I received was due to one) the SATA mode to RAID in the BIOS, or b) an Intel driver a RAID reporting configuration. I can not check the BIOS settings myself, because the tab in the BIOS for this is hidden and locked down due to the fact that I'm working on a laptop of HP (I found answers on the forums for models with slightly different laptop computer that reported the AHCI is the default SATA for HP laptops) (, but unable to verify for my particular model). However, I was able to find an Intel driver that can cause the problem in the Device Manager. It is listed under 'Storage controllers' and is called 'Intel(r) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID Controller '. When you contact the service customer of WD, the representative has tried to help me change this default Microsoft Inbox Driver by following the process: (right click > update driver software > Browse my computer... > choose from the list of device drivers). Unfortunately, it was not useful because the afforementioned Intel driver is the only one available. I was a bit puzzled by that because I installed windows 7 from scratch, only adding the drivers from the HP site needed to establish a wireless connection to download the installation of WD software.

  So basically I'm looking for help in these areas: a) to determine the particular my laptop model SATA mode, b) to understand why I have the default Microsoft Inbox Driver, c) installation of the Microsoft Inbox Driver default value or a Variant that works with AHCI, and/or d) any other course of action I could take additional troubleshooting.

  Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (installation costs)

  Laptop model: HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

  Hard disk: Western Digital Black2 Dual Drive

  Error: A bad SATA mode in the BIOS or reported by the Intel driver

  Pilot suspect: Intel(r) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID Controller

  Thank you kindly,

• Pavilion dv6t 1200 CTO for Ghost boot disk

  Ahoy, all

  I am trying to create a boot disk for purposes of Ghosting. I have the BartPE disk that works with the HP Elitebook 6930p. However, this does not work with Pavilion dv6t 1200 CTO. I think it's because I can't change IDE to AHCI in the BIOS (do not see the option).

  And so I think that the problem lies with the drivers of storage but not sure. When I go to Pavilion dv6t 1200 CTO drivers HP website drivers 'Storage' alone I see relate to the USB and a Ricoh card reader.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  figured it out. necessary to get the Intel Matrix drivers out of the Intel site. I also had to get the drivers Realtek NIC Realtek off-site. those in integrated BartPE. works now.

• HP Pavilion dv6t-7000: want to boot from the cd drive, but can't get the UEFI bios

  I try to perform a simple boot from a CD/DVD on my HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 portable player.

  After I bought it, I divided the hard drive into two partitions, is win8.1 and the other win7.  I tried the boot menu (by pressing ESC when it first starts) and the possibility to enter the BIOS.  However, he will just immediately go back to the start menu, inviting you to select win8.1 or win7.

  Pretty frustrated at this point.    I watched a video on youtube where the guy said go to the bios UEFI and toggle the settings, but I can't even BIOS.  Shouldn't UEFI recognize that there is something in the CD/DVD drive and ask if you want to boot from it?      Thanks for all answers

  After tapping Esc and get boot F9 menu-tap Options. Use the arrow key to move down and highlight / select the CD/DVD and press ENTER.

• Dual boot Win8.1, openSUSE 13.1 on Pavilion TouchSmart 10 10-e010nr

  I installed openSUSE 13.1 on a recently purchased laptop, leaving the installer set it up to dual boot with the Windows OEM 8.1. However, when the computer reboots, it goes straight to Windows. A web search reveals that this is not a rare problem, but the solutions are so varied that I don't know where to start.

  Details are as follows:

  The material is a HP Pavilion TouchSmart 10 10-e010nr with Windows 8.1 64-bit OEM. Installation media is the installation of openSUSE - 13.1 DVD ISO, put it on a Flash DRIVE by:

  http://en.openSUSE.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick

  In the BIOS Setup, I've disabled Secure Boot and changed to traditional Mode. After that, the USB has been seen in the menu boot device options.

  I chose to do a new installation, to reduce the main Windows partition to make room for the installer /, / Home and swap. I accepted the suggestion of the installer to use Grub2 EFI and make existing partition/boot/efi Windows EFI boot without formatting.

  Installation seemed to go normally, but as soon as the stop and restart, the computer went straight to Windows. In the Windows disk management tool, I see the newly created partitions, so presumably the only problem is the boot or startup program manager.
