  I don't have a windows disc 8, I got the laptop a month ago but it is pre-loaded with windows 8... help a brother out!

  Curiously, I tried all the patches when I got this error efi unawares. I have a dual boot using win 7 as my first and win 10 on another drive.

  I downloaded a Boot Manager after you saw that somehow the drive letter had changed when I decided to check the start state. I don't have this problem before the last update.

  It changed back and everything was fine.

• 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: 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.

• 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.

• ENVY of HP dv7-7250us Notebook PC: HP Envy dv7 Notebook PC contains a 5 GHz adapter?

  On March 23, 2015 I finally switched from DSL to Time Warner Cable and the technician who came with us to install it settle on 5 GHz and it worked very well.  However, our iPhones and iPad would not connect at 5 GHz, so in went into their chat room and of the technician TWC changed something on my laptop, then the two seems to work fine so far here.  Then the next day I couldn't connect the my other devices to 5 GHz and everything worked fine again.  Starting yesterday afternoon, only the 2.4 GHz shows on my PC screen and automatically connected to it, but the 5 GHZ does not at all appear.  I spent an hour on the phone with a TWC technician who check the router several times trying it to make it work on my PC but it still does not even show up.  Our other devices are always connected to the range of 5 GHz so the technician specific TWC that my HP laptop does not have a 5 GHz adapter.  That is my question.  Is my laptop has a 5 GHz network card?

  Thank you

  Hello

  No, your laptop does not support the 5 GHz, it has only:

Now there are a few different things that have been happing (because I've done a few times and I took it to a computer store to try because I was pulling my hair out) then one thing is takes like 1 hour to load everything and then stands up and says: IMPOSSIBLE! Another is it take too long to load all over go on udates and FAIL! It loads real slow, I did a check on said SSD that's fine. I got another thing same drive. So I was wondering I missed something maybe a driver I need to download? Maybe update my BIOS, I only did that because I can't find an update but haven't looked really hard. I went to the HP site and did all the updates it. My 240GB works great never had a problem it right to the top and boots fine. Maybe the firmware on the SSD, I saw something about this someplae. Any help would be great thanks

  Sides are good. As I said it is an older SSD and just may not be configured to work with current storage controllers.
