Elite 8200 SFF: BuildID and Featurebyte on missing 8200 Elite

I just bought two lease Elite 8200 SFF i7 2600 units from a dealer. Software HP Advisor offer updated the BIOS and I wrong therefore supported in the latest version available on HP Web site. BIOS is missing info BuildID and Featurebyte. There is no label of product outside the chassis with this info. Startup units is no longer Windows 7 64 bit, or any OS and I cannot use my support of recovery because of this missing info from Bios. Without the BuildID and Featurebyte numbers I'm dead in the water. How can I get these numbers when I did no sticker on the chassis. Is there a database by serial number somewhere at HP?

Thanks, Skylarking. Here are the legimate lease 8200 with a valid sticker of COA and label series/product number for HP. However, there is no background label with the buildid or featurebytes. Fortunately and luckily, since I posted, I was able to find the buildid and featurebyte always in the bios (Ctrl-A) on one of the machines. So, my wandering bios update flash only erased the buildid and featurebyte on a single unit. After copying and recording the same numbers in the other identical 8200 (who had been his numbers suffered by the bios flash),.

I was then able to use the recovery discs to reinstall the HD to the original factory configuration, and now I'm ready to go. I had to reinstall disks as recovery option would not allow me access recover partition recovery HD. Apparently, if I had not always had numbers in the same unit, I would have been powerless, unless my unit seller could give them. I will be away from HP Advisor suggested bios flashes in the future, unless I'm having problems.

Thanks for your time and your input. It was an answer clear and informative, and I learned something about buildid and featurebyte, even though I had already solved my particular problem.

  • Even in Safe Mode, minimize, restore and close is missing, even if the functions remain, and a dialog box now appears at the opening of the FF.

    Since I installed the latest update of Firefox, reduce it, restore, and close are missing visually, even if their functions are always present.

    I also started to have one of these dialog boxes asking whether or not I'd like to allow a program to make changes to my PC when I open Firefox.

    I could fix this apparently either by way of turn disable the compatibility mode setting, or by rebooting completely.

    Then, Firefox logo disappeared from the icon for a while, being replaced by the default Windows system image which is displayed under the icon of unspecified files.

    I do not know whether or not the uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player and restart had something to do with this corrected, but at some point, she is back to normal.

  • wczdlg.dll and netshell.dll missing and cannot start my Windows Firewall

    Hi all
    I hope that someone will be so good to help my with this situation I tried (and failed) solve this past week or so.

    I lost my firewall, l, and network connections.  As advised I checked the status of the automatic Wireless Configuration.  The State was "arrested" and was not a solution for this.  I continue typing applications for a solution ot wczdlg.dll and netshell.dll missing.   Now I can sign BT.openzone - it's the only way I can use the web.

    Also I can't start my Windows Firewall.  I have no idea why my system is so badly damaged - the only situation I had was that my charger no longer works and my laptop crashed.  I also brought my laptop (HP compaq nc4200-Xp) to my daughter.
    I don't have a recovery disc and the disc I have with drivers does not download.  I would be grateful for any resolution of this problem.    I'm only a moderate ad user have no knowledge regarding the actual system so need advice step by step.
    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Notification options are only available for Windows Vista and higher. The Control of the Volume icon may appear from the Control Panel.

    You said that the Spokesman of AOL could have removed the Control of Volume, please make sure that the following files exist on your system to see if the Setting of the Volume has been either deleted or not
    %SystemRoot%\system32\sndvol32.exe

    If you do not want to enable the display of the Control of the Volume icon, please try the following

  • Error: the registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.

    Original title: the registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can occur as a result of installing other CD burning software. reinstall iTunes

    I've loaded and discharged Itunes 5 times and still get the same error message box. This error does exactly what he says, I can not burn anything in my itunes library. ITunes worked great in XP-3 no problems. It will not work on Windows 7-64.  I can download and play songs from any site, but can not burn anything.  And I don't have any other burning software on my CD PC

    Hello PohlCat,

    Given that you have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes without correcting the problem, it may be with a 3rd party product causes a problem.

    I would look at the post here to see if this solution can help you. It's from a 3rd third party site, you should use at your own risk, because it has not been tested, but seemed to help others with the same error that you are experiencing.

    Please reply back and let us know if this can help.

    Well we are all learning, sometimes doing unwise things :(

    If you can not use a restore point, and the moving process simple origonal location cannot be done.

    I would like to copy your files to external data, make sure that you have the keys that can be required for programs, then start with a win clean installation, deleting all partitions during the process, and then using the entire disk for C space.

    Hi Lapiz,

    This is an expected behavior. You will get information ppi for raster as JPEG images, not for the vector images based as EPS.

    Kind regards

    OM

    Hello Om,

    in place of the image files EPS PhotoShop, InDesign is able to calculate the effective PPI.

    Not in the links Panel, but with its preflight feature.

    Here is an example for some parameters with a preflight profile.

    Note: The values are examples. Insert values that correspond to your needs.

    Set your minimum values high enough and you will be reported on each value effective ppi for every PhotoShop image placed in your document.

    In my view, an expected behavior would be to calculate the effective ppi for PhotoShop EPS images in the links Panel.

    Like preflight display, it can be done.

    Kind regards
