• 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: DOUBLE BOOT 8.0 and 8.1?

  Is it possible to dual boot Windows 8.1 with Windows 8?

  Is it possible to dual boot Windows 8.1 with Windows 8?

  Hello

  Windows 8.1 is more or less updated to Windows 8. The only way how to make a dual boot these two is to buy a license retail of Windows to get a new system with the OEM installed by default in. The version of Windows 8 must have disabled Windows updates in order to ensure that it does not refresh to Windows 8.1. I see no logical reason why having a dual boot like this. It's like a dual boot with Windows 7 and Windows 7 SP1.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

  I have leveled down Windows 8 for Windows 7 Professional with success and that you have downloaded all current Windows updates available at this time. I downloaded all the drivers from the HP support for this computer site (HP Envy dv7 - 7373 ca) successfully with the exception of the Nvidia Geforce GT driver HP which gives me an error indicating "file intel requires.

  When I open the device (see above) Manager, I have five "other devices" that have no drivers and one of the two adapters without driver. I searched HP forums, web, updates of drivers intel and Microsoft Updates for the drivers, nothing works. Please provide a link to the drivers required to use all the above listed features above to be dysfunctional.

  Finally, the touchpad when typing is extremely annoying! Breast of Windows 7, is it possible to disable it?

• 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.

• Update Microsoft Update Site crashes video system

  Envy 17 3D (model: LV045UA #ABA) with a Radeon 6850 M and Mobile Intel HD Graphics

  09/03/11 Microsoft Update site provided a ~ 150 + MB update for Radeon 6850 M and Mobile Intel HD Graphics. After the downloaded update and had started to install, the video system crashed. The screen went black and has not recovered after more than one hour. I restored my last system image and tried again. The results were the same.

  Everyone knows about similar problems?

  Microsoft automatically finds the drivers, but they are not good. If you need to update the video driver to your support page of models or AMD.com.

  http://support.AMD.com/us/gpudownload/Windows/pages/auto_detect.aspx

  If the machine does not function normally, then don't update the driver.

• Poor performance of Firefox after you apply the latest Microsoft Updates (Win 7 x 64); all solutions?

  Recently, I updated to Firefox 27 and noticed really horrible performance (Manager tasks indicates FF connecting a carrot, frequent "Firefox is not responding messages", even strikes in late development in the URL bar). It's on an Ideapad s205 (AMD E450 APU, Win 7 x 64, 8 GB RAM, SSD) who has always had pretty decent web browsing performance for a low end machine.

  At first, I blamed FF because poor performance coincided with the update to version 27, but now I think that the first cause to be a recent Microsoft Update. The reason is that my wife has a laptop with a same low-end APU (APU C60, hard drive 5400 RPM, 4 GB of RAM, Win 7 x 64), and she was getting much better performance with FF27 until I applied a backlog of some 90 + updates. Now she suffers from the same poor performance I am and she is pretty p * ssed at home.

  Interestingly, I have two WIn 7 x 64 Intel computers to office who have 27 FF and are fully patched, and performance are very good. Maybe this problem is specific to AMD APU.

  Any thoughts? I tried to turn off the backend Azure with some comments in this forum, but makes little or no difference.

  Thank you!

  Success! 32 FF seems to have solved my problems of performance. Thank you!
