EliteBook 8730w ks074ut: pilot 3d

Hi all

I need to do a clean install of Win 7 Pro 64 bit on my trusty 8730w.  Try some Thinkpads I used make is easy in the face of this problem by allowing you to download the wifi driver, and a tool to update the system that makes most of the rest of the driver install for you.  I guess they aren't counting on old IBm'ers be smart enough to figure it out for themselves.

Any chance of HP has a tool something like that?

If not, could someone help me a list of the drivers that I need?

Or maybe just the ones that I'm going to need to get a new facility for you connect to driver support page?

I have on the 8730w

Intel Wifi Link 5300 AGN

CPU T9900

NVIDIA FX 3700M

DreamColor Display to FHD

I appreciate the help, as always

Mike

  • HP EliteBook 8730w: replacement of SSD for the boot drive not recognized

    I'm trying to install a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500 GB instead of the original 500 GB HDD in my Elitebook 8730w (product no. VF889PA #ABG). The 8730w has the latest BIOS (F.20) installed and that is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (fully patched).

    When it is connected to the laptop through a USB adapter, to clone the HARD disk image. the SSDS works correctly. Cloning through data Migration Samsung is reported as a success, and the image of the C:\ drive occupies approximately 153 GB. The image of the disc does not include the partition of 1 GB dedicated to HP_TOOLS, due to a known limit of the Samsung software supplied.

    When it is installed in the HARD drive Bay. the SSD is not recognized as a drive and does not appear in the list of startup options. The available boot options only shown are the DVD or a network boot.

    would be very grateful for any advice on the steps required to successfully install the Samsung SSD as boot drive.

    Hmmm.
    Honestly no, I'm not happy with this one. If it was my machine, I'd be a little concerned about whats the corner of the street. In view of the age, is not surprising really, things wear out over time, the mere fact of electronics.

    Search through everything you have posted, all photos, pdf, all the text double checking. I am absolutely puzzled as to what happened. If you 100% does not reinstall the hard disk between the posts above where no HARD drive is detected in the menu boot options for the post below that where the HARD drive is detected in the same menu. I would say that you have a problem with either, the ssd, the computer motherboard laptop or the small connector on the sata port, I think on these is integrated on the motherboard, so it seems that your advice is doubtful.
    If his works now, great... but be aware that your machine can fail at some point in the near future. And it looks like a defect of the motherboard, other things are probably waiting to fail.

    There is no reason whatsoever your laptop must not have seen this ssd at first startup. A HARD drive is a HARD disk, if its compatible sata, then it will work, no doubt. When he is not on an older machine, its probably a sign of a faulty component.

    Looking through your bios options, I recommend the following.

    On startup options, get rid of internal nic pxe boot, that will only slow your machine at startup as it will seek for a network bootable device. This is the message that you get at startup saying Media Test Failure, this page is preventable with this option disabled.
    Less built lan/wlan switching on enabled in the options of the terminal, also change. This means that if you use wifi at home for example and you decide to plug in a cable network directly to the router to speed up the connection, it will not pass if it is not defined, you will have to do it manually. I work in a large company and the number of people who have this option is unreal. They all assume when they are docked they will on the wired connection.

    Because we are here too, if you ever have problems with a flickering screen, first thing to try, is disable the ambient light sensor which is just below this option of switching. Its fine on normally, but its quite common on 8560p for this causes a flickering screen.

    Hope that helped. Good luck in what you decide to do with the machine

  • HP EliteBook 8730w: new installation of Windows 7 on HP EliteBook 8730w?

    Is it possible to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on HP EliteBook 8730w?

    In other words, if my machine is not currently of any operating system installed, I can use a DVD to install Windows 7 directly or do I install Windows Vista first, before the upgrade to Windows 7?

    Hello:

    If you have a lot of retail or oem drive of W7 installed and the corresponding product key, you need not to install vista first.

    If you have a drive of W7 upgrade, then you must install vista first and then upgrade to W7 and select the custom (clean) installation option then enter the W7 upgrade product key.

    If you upgrade a disk, there may be a way to install W7 without installing Vista first.

    You can do a search on the internet for a few links that provide information about how to do this.  For example:

  • AC adapter / CC / Elitebook 8730W-can I use 200W safely?

    I have a laptop EliteBook 8730w. It comes with an external adapter Smart AC 120 watts to 150 watts.

    A friend gave me a 200W power adapter replacement which was originally for the 8740w. It matches my 8730w but is it safe to use as it is of a higher power than the original?

    I talked to HP Support and they advised its fine to use the adapter of 200W. Since they are intelligent adapters, they are made to reduce power regardless of the laptop needs. That is, if the laptop is peaks at 150 w or 90W then the adapter will only provide that much.

    Please don't tell me that I need to find the disk supplied with the machine because that will not happen!

    Chris

    Hey, Chris:

    Just order a new set of recovery disks by calling HP to 1-800-334-5144.  You will need to provide the model # and # of series.

    It costs $10.

    If F11 does not work, then the recovery partition is either missing, or faulty.

    You can also make your own drive of W7 or Vista installation and reinstall this way if you can read the 25 product key MS Vista or W7 characters on the bottom of the laptop.

    If you want to go this route, please let me know what OS you are running and give you directions to setup you need to do different procedures for Vista or W7.

  • EliteBook 8730w: Hp 8730w Will support 500 GB of HARD drive?

    I have a Hp 8730w and the vehicle currently has a 160 GB HARD drive. I have an additional 500 GB HARD drive.

    8730w will be able to support it? I saw its specifications and found this info from Hp site:

    You are well. It of an older laptop, but a true ICH9 SATA storage controller has therefore no effective size limit for a SATA hard drive. Do you need a manual, or do you know how to replace the hard drive physically? It's so old specs is a time when readers were smaller and the manual lists only the HP readers offered by the factory.

I bought this little gem of a laptop power PC on Ebay at a fair price. However, research recovery - Discs.com and other similar sites were not successful. Recovery - Discs.com has no one live you can join when you call them and their online registration does NOT work for the Canada addresses ! Other "so-called" recovery disk sites will sell you a disc containing the latest drivers ONLY , and is not the OS, still call their disc a "recovery solution ! Can someone direct me to a solution? I can not even find any information on the site of HP to order a set of replacement of the recovery disks. (??) Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  • EliteBook 8730w: no bluetooth EliteBook8730w in windows 10

    L.S.

    My computer is a device for bluetooth connection, although I do seem to find in Windows 10. I checked the forum, updates and tried some drivers that are specifically for Windows 7.

    Is there a solution?

    Thanks for the reply.

    Jacob

    Hi, Jacob:

    Install it, restart the PC and see if you can turn on the bluetooth radio using the software.

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?sp4ts.Oid=3784204 & swItemId = ob_84194_3 & swEnvOid = 4053

    If that does the trick, you can then uninstall the software and manage the bluetooth radio with the utility built into the W10.

    W10 will also install a suitable driver for the device.

    I have the 6930p which is pretty much the same model as yours (mine has the 14.1 "display) running W10 Pro 64 bit very well and was surprised to find that the old HP bluetooth module that our phones have works very well.
