ENVY of HP dv6-7246us SSD Upgrade, problem Windows 7 installation with boot from a usb/dvd drive.

Hi all

I recently bought the dv6-7246us and have updated for one SSD HARD drive. The problem I have now is I can't boot from usb or dvd drive that contains the Windows 7installation. Initially, this laptop has a HDD with Windows 8. I changed the boot order to boot from the USB drive and the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive several times and have still no chance to start to the top of the installation. Is there a solution to this problem?

Thank you

Robert

Hi, Robert:

Go you into the BIOS and change in legacy Mode?

I think that you need to do in order to boot from another device other than the hard drive.

  • If I get the dvd of recovery to win s 7 of the manufacturer, what problems is I meet when I try to boot from a usb dvd player

    Separated from this thread.

    OK here is what I was asking.  If I get the dvd of recovery to win s 7 of the manufacturer, what problems I will get when I try to boot from a usb dvd player.  I worry because my computer is uefi firmware. should I disable secure boot, make sure the dvd usb drive first in the boot order.  What other bios setting I would be worried.

    You will get a facility better if you find the ISO to create such media as discussed in step 1 of the clean reinstall Windows 7 follow these steps to get the best possible installation.  You can even create flash media if that's easier for you.

    Regard to Recov disks that reinstall all the bloatware factory, Yes, you must disable Secure Boot in firmware that doesn't support UEFI to install Windows 7, and then start the media as a UEFI device.

    After installation, you can pick up some performance and optimize the installation by following Clean Up Factory Bloatware .

    You can also do a Clean install Windows 10 improvement using the Windows 7 product key, as this is explained in this link.   You can at any time change to Windows 7, even move back and forth until only is installed at the same time.

    Let us know if there are any questions and how it goes.

    Lol when this laptop was sold solid state drivers were exotic things and one concert 160 cost of a King's ransom. It was the largest offered HP, not a hard limit. They are more reasonably priced now. The best consumer SSD is a Samsung 850 Evo and I would at least get a concert from 480 to 512.

  • EliteBook 8440p: elitebook 8440p upgrade of windows 10 mess with boot

    Hello!

    I bought a refurbished elitebook 8440p with pre-installed windows 7, 8 GB of RAM, 2.40 GHz processor.  I continued to refuse the upgrade of windows 10 when he constantly jumped upward and then one day I turned on the computer and it updated in any cases without permission.

    Since the upgrade, if I shut down my computer, or try to put in standby or Hibernate mode, when I go to wake up or put on, I always get a white screen. In general, I have to turn power several times on and off until any startup screen. Then half of the time, when I get a splash screen, my cursor is stuck at the top of the page, moving only left or right whenever I try to move it. So I have to turn and turn until a new screen is displayed.

    I studied how to remove 10 windows and reinstall windows 7. I passed the period of 10 days or 30 days. Media creation tool asks for the product key which I type in the sticker on the bottom of the laptop, but do not pass the verification process saying to contact the manufacturer for help.  Apparently there may be specific drivers or something you took when it improved and the media tool does not allow me to create anything for me to do a clean reinstall of windows 7.

    I tried to find an option after pressing esc at the f11 reset start screen. There was no option to do so. The best I could do was to 'reset' of the computer, but he took back to the original Windows that it is firstly set at level 10 to. All my files are deleted from the computer. I just want to return to Windows 7, but could not find an effective way to do it.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • 700 - 147C envy: cannot change bios to boot from backup USB Acronis. Startup command problem

    I tried to boot from my USB Acronis boot device to clone my C: drive to another HARD drive, but I was unable to set the boot order (first USB) because it keeps resetting & put the USB back where it was before.  I've done this before without problem; I wanted to boot from an external USB Acronis rescue disk & run the procedure to clone of it. The USB is listed in the startup as list "Sandisk Cruzer 1.27 & it's the ISO boot Acronis on this file but I failed to get the pc to boot from it.» (not this time in any case). After a needless frustration 3 hours I ran successfully clone of C: drive procedure.  I checked the clone by disconnecting the source & boot from it, but it works "BOOT PXE ON IPV4 followed by PXE BOOT ON IPV6 before it starts the clone. The startup disk is listed before the lines of IPV in the bios then why what is happening?  I disabled the 2 procedures of IPV with F5 & now it starts normally, but I do not consider this problem solved, because I have not yet able to boot from USB & I don't know why I had to disable these 2 lines.

    Addendum: I revisited the right bios & reactivated 2 disabled lines & it is now booting properly, no nonsense IPV. Go figure.

  • ENVY of HP dv6-7246us Notebook PC Wireless "turned off", can't go back.

    Help, please. I have a HP ENVY dv6-7246us Notebook PC with a Qualcomm QCA9565 Atheros 802.11b/g/n wireless adapter. This camera has worked flawlessly since purchase in January 2013. But for the last 2 weeks, the adapter has been disabled and I can't find a way to reactivate.

    In Device Manager, the adapter is shown to work properly. The indicator light (f12) shows white as it should and active / disable correctly in and out of airplane mode.

    I tried to open the Properties tab in nothing helps network connections. I could not find a newer driver for the adapter.

    As you can see, the ethernet adapter works well. I have 64-bit Windows 8 and use AVG anti-virus.

    I'm hoping to find a solution to what I need the wireless to work properly, or I'll just get another computer.

    Thank you.

    OK, here's the deal. I talked to my grandson 13yo the problem and at the very least, I feel embarrassed.

    The problem was a setting in Windows 8, I don't know. (Bring up the menu on the right side of the screen, click settings at the bottom of the list, and then select the wifi tab.) Think back to Windows 7.

    I appreciate your time to your time. I'm marking this as resolved point. Thank you very much.

  • Problem of button wifi HP Envy TouchSmart 15 j001TX on the upgrade to Windows 8.1


    Finally, here is the Solution for the ProblemsI facing point 8.1 of Windows in my HP Envy 15 J001TX (D9H44PA) TS

    1 PROBLEM Wifi button (led)

    -Cause - Bluetooth Incompatible Ralink driver (SP64082 Driver Wifi works fine)

    -How to solve the problem =

    Reset you first FORMATER THE System Partition (normally 100-500 MB size) when clean installing windows 8.1 (I don't know how to do after the upgrade via Windows store cause I never have I clean installed from the image ISO of Win 8.1)

    Then after installing Windows install Wifi button Driver Compitable with your system and of course to win 8.1 (SP63752 http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-123643-1&cc=in&dlc=en&lc=en...  in my case)

    Here you can see the effective operation of the Wifi Button (F12 key) after restarting your PC

    Now if you install your old Wifi and Bluetooth Drivers you will ruin everything!

    THEN please INSTALL new WIfi driver Ralink (SP64082 that are currently compatible for win 8 but works very well and were available on the site, only last week here is the link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-125308-1&cc=in&dlc=en&lc=en... )

    The driver Bluetooth Ralink (well SP64156 I do not know if it will work or not cause he doesn't get just installed on my machine gave error file not found and I never retried there are waiting for the Win 8.1 driver compatiblehttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-125314-1&cc=in&dlc=en&lc=en...)

    THEN the underlying problem seems to be Bluetooth driver and above the steps is how it will be fixed!

    In my view, FORMATTING of THE PARTITION SYSTEM is only average stuck reset who have dirtied the old Bluetooth driver!

    2. the NO work of BEATS AUDIO, other software and technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology bit

    The main cause is the INCOMPATIBLES INTEL GRAPHICS drivers...

    If you have installed the drivers Win 8 offered by HP on Win 8.1 What is causing many software malfunction!

    Then please download the latest drivers from Intel graphics for your laptop https://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx (in my case 4600 Graphics Intel for windows 8.1 64-bit has been downloaded) it works perfectly!

    You must also install the updated Audio drivers (SP63555, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-124012-1&cc=in&dlc=en&lc=en... )

    Yes that's it everything works fine!  (I suggest that you do not install the Bluetooth driver until HP provides new compatible with win 8.1 setting the LED issue until then I suggest simply do not install and use bluetooth caue you must format the system partition whenever you need to reset the frame and for this we need to clean installation of Win 8.1)

    questions please answer!  tHNX

  • ENVY of HP dv6 - 7273ca - fan/temperature problem

    Hi guys,.

    I have a HP ENVY dv6 - 7273ca with the following system information:

    I am running Windows 8.1, with HP CoolSense.  The laptop is still on a hard, flat surface with plenty of room around it for ventilation.

    I periodically delete the vents in fan with compressed air as preventive maintenance.

    In recent weeks, I found that, without apparent reason, the fan had more charger and I live of the intermittent "black screens" at startup.  It has now arrived at a point where the fan is constantly working at high speed and is extremely hot to the touch.  This includes initial start-up, even after a long downtime and with any other software other than the operating system.

    I always ran HP Support Assistant via Windows and it doesn't seem to be any problem illustrated by this software.  I also tried to run HP system health analysis, but all I get is a constant progress bar.  I tried this in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

    I checked and I have the latest version of the BIOS update.  I run the power ENERGY STAR option.

    Any contributions to this fan number would be appreciated, as I am in the last days of my warranty!

    Kind regards

  • Computer HP laptop slim 500 GB HARD drive: used for HP laptop HARD drive upgraded to Win 10 Pro with key now stuck after HP Drive Encryption Login

    I bought a portable hard drive used HP for the upgrade of my Lenovo G550 with ugraded CPU with Intel's CORE DUO T9300 2.50 ghz

    (HP hard drive: computer laptop slim drive HARD 500 GB SERIAL ATA DISK DRIVE S/N W627S9NL P/N 756731-001 MFG Seagate Technologies DOM 8 / 2015)

    I was happy to see that the hatd drive had already installed because Windows 7 I had bought already separate legitimate Windows 10 Pro license key for the upgrade. I was able to go online and download the upgrade of Windows 10 and used my purchased license key to activate my updated.

    While doing the installation, there are some HP software that was still on the hard drive. I thought it would be good to have some additional security protocols, so I also installed the WinMagic Securedoc Bootloader v1.2.12 and saved the drive encryption HP with the security issues and password for secondary access.

    10 Windows has been activated and everything was beautiful. But when I restarted the laptop, I put my password for windows and then it goes to this screen of disc HP encryption rises. I put the password and it is accepted - and then the screen turns white... not offshore... jblank TEU with a cursor flashing that doesbn can't react to inputs.

    I tried leaving it for a day or so and still nothing.  There is nothing I can change in the configuration of the BIOS that works so far.

    I also tried Reimage download on USB and re-creation of the sequence of boot, but not good. Even tried a boot drive, but nothing there either. I'll try again.

    I don't know where to go or how to get beyond the screen of HP encryption.  I am pretty good at following directions, I don't know coding, but may do what you suggest to help me fix this problem.

    Can you help me?

    Sorry... I missed the part that you have a license Win10.  I thought you were trying to activate 10 using the OEM HP license and causing problems.

    I do not use HP encryption applications - as having recently completed a career in the InfoSec, I personally focus together on the encryption of the PC to be laughable-, but my guess is that you are basically out of luck.

    If it was my drive, I WIPE the drive of all its content and then again install Win10.  A good product to do i.e. DBan: http://tiptopsecurity.com/how-to-securely-wipe-your-hard-drive-with-dban-erase-your-data-for-good/

    Once your disc is clean, then simply install Win10 on it.

    That said, with a bit of luck, one of the HP EXPERTS will probably come along and tell you how to get around their encryption.

    Good luck

  • Problem with booting from a cΘdΘrom-Satellite A10 - S513

    I have a laptop, Toshiba Satellite A10-S513, who does not want to start from the CD.
    To crystallize the problem, when I want to move the arrow (right or left) to access the CD-ROM icon in Start menu, nothing will be selected and it starts automatically from the HARD disk. I tried to change the startup configuration, but I couldn't because the choice of start-up has been grayed out, although I use the account controller BIOS.
    What should I do to enable booting from CD, taking into account the fact that I had done the CD several times starting.
    A few tips:
    I upgraded the operating system win XP Home to XP Pro and then installed Service Pack 2.

    Hello

    Is there the same situation if you try to boot from the CD drive, hold the C key to the start-up of unit?
