ENVY of HP dv7-7230us: DOUBLE BOOT 8.0 and 8.1?

• ENVY of HP dv7-7230us: HP DV7 disc includes six partitions - are they all necessary?

  I am trying to create a system image to save laptop my mother using Macrium after receiving a SMART disk error. It is to show that the hard drive has 6 partitions:

  1, WinRE (none)

  Primary NTFS

  235.3 MB

  400,0 MB

  2. NO NAME (none)

  Primary FAT32 (LBA)

  104.6 MB

  260,0 MB

  3. (none)

  Unformatted primary

  128.0 MB

  128.0 MB

  4 (C

  Primary NTFS

  541.21 GB

  670.92 GB

  5 (none)

  Primary NTFS

  274,6 MB

  350.0 MB

  6 RECOVERY (D

  Primary NTFS

  22.86 GB

  26.60 GB

  Are these really necessary? I understand that one or possibly many may have to do with Bitlocker, but the #3 partition in particular looks like it's just foreign. It's not like she's taking a lot of space, but it seems unnecessary.

  Thank you

  Hi there @infohack

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

  I can certainly understand your concern about this mix of partitions, and I am happy to help you with this.

  As a first step, this page: partitioning and naming of readers (Windows 8)

  There is also this post of @Daniel_Potyrala , even if reference is made to windows 7, it is loaded with useful information that applies to windows 8 as well. Its theme is more on the preparation of another drive with partitions, but this part of the update, there is information on the purpose of most of the partitions that you ask the subject.

  How to repartition the disk HARD of HP notebook with pre-installed Windows 7

  Since some of the partitions you listed are not labeled, it is difficult to tell what some of them are, but in a UEFI environment, it is possible one of those is a part of this environment. The recovery partition would have your plant to install the image. I would recommend you do a CD set of recovery as well via the recovery manager. You can make only one series.

  I hope this helps a little.

• Envy of HP dv7-7230us Notebook: \EFI\MICROSOFT\Boot\BCD

  I did 6 recovery disks for win 8 installed at the factory. I upgraded to 8.1, HDD started failing so I tried: external cloning, cloning of 2nd HARD drive in the Bay from 2nd and two of these operations failed. I formatted the HDD new and loaded my original win 8 and it says 100% installed then rebooted and said that he could not find \EFI\MICROSOFT\Boot\BCD. Please, I need one direction other than jumping off a cliff.

  For the reason that there is no problem without a solution, you can try this thread(even if Windows 7), but apply the same principles?  Good luck and do not skip!

• ENVY of HP dv7 7230us repair - HELP!

  Hello

  I am trying to replace my screen and processor, motherboard and having all kinds of problems. First my camera fell. During the re-booting I noticed the screen turned white, but the cooling fan has been executed and the charging light was still on. I also noticed that the cover lock blinking continuously and the wifi was on but orange. Since she was an ssd that I couldn't tell if the drive worked except the small led on the side front right was on. I then shut the machine down, not connected the power adapter, took out battery and not connected to the RTC battery. Then, I pressed the power button down for 30 seconds to erase all stored tension. I then reconnected the battery RTC, the AC adapter and the battery. After re-booting, the screen turn black. The caps lock blinking continuously and the wifi was on but orange. Essentially the description above. I bought a new view compatible, used ENVY dv7 7000 series motherboard and a processor AMD A10. The original processor was an A8. I then reinstalled everything and even put the hard drive installed in the factory, Toshiba 750 g, I got the same results as before. This time, I could actually hear spinning drive. If everything worked. I even tested the ram original in another machine and found it was good. I also plugged in a monitor and nothing. I am at a loss. I'm trying to send the Commission in Exchange for another. Anyone know what is happening here? I missed something? Would appreciate any input. Thank you

  Al Hebert

  In addition, the original processor, AMD A8-4500 Series, has 2 functions? CPU and GPU or is it just a GPU or CPU. I do not understand how it differs from the older processors.   Thanks again

  The relocation of the CROWD?  I'm sorry what is a MOB. Yes, I remove the RTC battery. I tried to start it with and without the RTC.

• Envy of HP dv7-7230us: Microsoft Updates

  After the installation of Win 8 x 64 and reboot the PC so that he could finish and configure updates, it stopped at 12% and gave me one, message "can't set updates, goes back to the files please do not turn off computer. He remained in a loop of reboot and shutdown at 12%.

  I used partition magic to delete a partition off my dying HDD which had 8.1 installed and copied on a new HARD drive. The reason for this, I tried to install Win 8 at the new disk of six disks I made from when I first bought the laptop. I couldn't install it for nothing, I tried the 'prompt com' approach to fix the mbr, tried to start options, auto repair, etc. I noticed 8.1 had an extra partition which was the same size with different data, use percentage, so I thought it was to win 8 before I upgraded to 8.1. I copied on a new hard drive and the installation disc started to load, and history was made.

• Multiple operating systems. How to get the double boot or sort and what's on the disk images?

  Hello. I currently have Windows XP Home Edition on my desktop. I have an update for Windows Vista Home Premium. Both are 32-bit. I read this linkhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista. I have a few questions, I would like to precise please.

  Can I add the upgrade to Vista on a separate hard drive? Is there a partition?

  Do I need to install any other program infront of XP or Vista so I can dualboot? I have to if I wanted to add Win7 Home Premium 64 - bit as a bunch of sorting?

  I'm not pure install, I understand that. I'm done with my XP havn't programs, it takes more time than expected.

  Is it possible to create disk images or backups with more than one operating system installed? If I have an upgrade, I don't think that I can remove the previous installed OS (XP Home Edition) and have a Vista disk image work. At least I have clean install and only Vista is? I have Norton Ghost 15 and I wondered if I would be able to drive or backup XP image or upgrading to Vista at all, or together.

  Can an upgrade copy, I change the material at all, or add anything internally?

  XP SP3 on the desktop.

  Hello

  Yes, you need XP on your drive hard first to use the dual boot with Vista, after the restoration of ghosting for 2 hard drives.

  If you only want Vista on the PC, then you will need to use your Vista installation disk to repair and install files on the hard disk Vista.

  As for the reactivation, you should be able to activate again within 3 days on the internet, you may need to phone MS if you can't.

  1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
  (2) press the ENTER"" key.
  (3) select your "country" in the list.
  (4) choose the option "activate phone".
  (5) stay on the phone and waiting for someone to help you with activation.

  Your XP disk is more then likely an OEM version, which means that it is linked to the computer it was installed on.

  So your Vista upgrade could also be tied to the PC you are upgrading to.

  Please keep in mind that my answer is based on the information in your message. More the better I can answer, Slan go foill, Paul

• How to remove an HP Envy dv7-7230us bezel?

  Recently, I cracked the screen on my computer laptop dv7-7230us of HP Envy and wonder how to remove the bezel to change my screen. I see no screws to screw to replace the broken screen.

  A video tutorial is usually the best way to go.

  The best way to find a way to do is to go to youtube.com and search for replacement of the HP Envy dv7 screen.

• Want DV7-7230us: HP Envy DV7-7230us dual band wireless compatibility

  Hi all -

  I have a DV7-7230us that I've updated massively since the purchase at a great price about 3 years - new display, 500 GB SDD, Win10-Pro, memory maxed out, etc..

  This laptop has all the abilities and raw power I need a laptop, but one thing that bothers me is the minimap original wireless in - it's single-channel video, 2.4 GHz a/b/g.

  I would like to replace it with the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 2 x 2 Networok/Bluetooth adapter (7260.HMWWB. (R), but I just want to ensure compatibility before you start down this path here - anyone had success and/or advice I should on this? If not compatible, does anyone know card dual band wireless compatible AC that works?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Your machine was built long before mid-2014, so the chance to upgrade the wifi card is slim to zero. There is a list on page 7 of the following document:

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c03591253.PDF

  Option: AC USB wireless card is the way to go.

  Kind regards.

• ENVY of HP DV7 - replacing the screen 7230us

  Just a few questions if you let it. Unfortunlsoately my laptop fell on the floor and the screen cracked. I have a new replacement on the way. Mind you, I replaced the screens of laptops before gently and smoothly. On each of them, in the place where the cable Ribbon which extends from the motherboard and attaches to the screen he is and was a warning label 'do not touch'. Take this warning seriously I've always avoided this and do not touch.  On the WANT DV7-7230us the place where the ribbon cable connection is made it is difficult, but not impossible, to do not touch this area. It is a possibility, I might have to hold a small area to re - attach the cable on the new screen. My question is why he cannot be touched? I somehow damage the new screen if I accidentally touch or hold this area? Just one simple answer other than 'just don't touch' would be great.  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that the warning "do not touch" is intended for the Board of LCD screen.

• HP Dv7-7230us: all compatible APUs for Dv7-7230us

  Hello, I've searched for APUs all compatible for my laptop which is a Dv7-7230us, and nothing helps I couldn't find. I just like a list of all compatible APU for her. I don't care if it is really long, it'll be really useful for me and I'm sure that for some institutions. AFAIK the A10 - 4600 m is compatible, but I would like to know if there is more than one, thank you for your time.

• I need to copy the software to the double boot drive

  Hi Noel,

  You remember me?

  Seriously I have XP upwards, and the operation and the goal to be able to run a multiboot system in order to run the two old software packages. Crazy I know, but I need to do.

  Simply, I have the following:

  Drive C: System

  Drive D: Windows XP NTFS

  E: drive Volume in Fat32.

  On this disc, I need to copy on a package that I have on an old drive that double boots: Windows 95 disk 1, part 1: and an old software Paradox on the 2 disc package, part 2.

  I lose my way in which the first due date can help you?

  Concerning

  Hi RaphaelEllis,

  You will need to check with the software manufacturer to see if there is a version update for Windows XP.
