• Envy of HP dv7-7332ea - System Restore does not work on windows 8

  Hey there,

  I recently bought this machine about a month ago. I used the Windows 8 System Restore feature to restore my pc to a previous state.

  However, after running it, I got a message saying: it failed and to ensure my anti virus is disabled. Accordingly, I have disabled Norton and tried again but it still does not work.

  Previously, the only problem I had with the pc was that he locked himself completely and therefore I turned off the machine that I have been unable to close.

  When I rebooted, HP Support Assistant could not run and so I uninstalled and then reinstalled from website theHP. It is now resolved. The thing is I'm a little scared that something is wrong with the machine that is the reason why I think that the system restore does not work.

  I'm a newbie on the computers here. Could you please give me some advice to diagnose if there is nothing wrong with my machine and fix the system restore?

  See you soon,.

  Damon

  Hi Damon,

  Norton is a component called 'Tamper Protection' that should be disabled before a system restore can be performed - for more details on this topic, see the following link.

  Disable self-protection.

• ENVY of HP dv7 Notebook PC: install Windows 8 discs HP

  I just ny laptop from HP repair center a week ago and I already had to perform a system reset.  I tried to reset my laptop and the message I got was, ' cannot reset no, because no disk partition detected ".  I called HP and they could not help, they told me that I have to reinstall Windows 8 and they post the discs to me.  HP blamed the problem of the partition on the fact that I had Windows 8 is installed and then I downloaded Windows 8.1 store Windows and it screwed in place the parition.  This answer has any sense at all to me.

  As I mentioned earier, HP is mailing me new Windows 8 discs. However, the technical support representative HP told me that the discs do not come with a product key.  How can I perform a clean installation without Windows product key?

  Yes at the time the upgrade of the OS is corrupt or delete the recovery partition, especially when it formats the disk.  It is always better to create recovery disks when you get the computer.

  The key of Windows 8 is embedded in the BIOS and not need to know the key when you reinstall, the installation will recognize the key.  If you want to know what your key, download Belarc Advisor, and it will give you all kinds of information about your computer: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

  It is best to upgrade to 8.1 Windows because it is more stable and with the new Windows 10 to come this year you will be eligible to get the free update if you are running 8.1

  Hello

  I have a HP DV7 7332ea want. I recently put a San Disk Extreme 2 120 GB SSD as drive and put the HARD drive in the Bay secondary. I installed Win 8.1 clean and everything works well. I then worked my through the various settings required in the operating system for one SSD maximize its usefulness as travel page file on the HARD drive, deleting hibernation, switching to restore in Control Panel and the last was to change registry settings to activate the DIANE and select it in the bios. However, the "F2" for this model Envy Bios has no option for IDE or DIANE. What this means and am I actually losing any ability to form my SSD if DIANE is not enabled?

  Hello:

  The contoller drive in your model can be set to RAID and that cannot be changed.

  You can check that the speed control is set to RAID if you go to Device Manager and see a category of storage controllers.

  Click to expand this category and you will see a controller RAID SATA Intel that are listed there.

  As long as you have installed the driver Intel RST that you'll TRIM full support for your SSD in RAID mode and you should ignore all the warnings on the drive doesn't work is not in AHCI mode.

  Take a look at this thread for more info...

• HP ENVY 15-J104SL - DOWNGRADE TO WINDOWS 7

  I am a system integrator and therefore a very expert user.

  I bought a notebook HP Envy 15-104SL. This NB have 8 pre-installed Windows.

  I have a lot of planning application that will work with Windows 8 so I have to downgrade to Windows 7

  I've read thousands of messages, but I can't solve my problem:

  I put the BIOS with Secure Boot disabled AND Legacy Support active

  I tried to install Windows 7 with a DVD 64 bit OEM licenze, but the installer doesn't recognize any hard disk intalled.

  Also, I downloaded driver from intel smart technology and I have customized a DVD with this driver, but the answer is the same. No disc found

  How can I make the downgrade? Can I install an other bios more advanced?

  I have to prepare the DVD with another technique?

  Thanks for the replies

  You are the very welcome.

  Unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions for you to try.

  The laptop can not read the flash drive is because there is no USB 2 port and until it is installed in the USB3 ports are pretty useless.

  Is there a BIOS setting to allow the USB3 ports act as ports "legacy"?

• Help... downgrade to windows 7 on my HP Envy 23-c059 all-in-One is a disaster!

  Help please!

  After a major effort (and another $ 110 for the Windows 7 product key) I finally managed to downgrade from Windows 8 to 7 on my PC (HP Envy 23 - c059 all-in-one). I thought that I had finally made until I realized that nothing worked. Not only I need drivers for all components, but I now have no way to install on my machine. As well the free wireless and Ethernet seem to be inadmissible, so I tried to use a USB flash drive, but it seems to be out of use as well.

  I know that it is not suggested to do the downgrade in the first place, but I bought this machine for my kids to do their homework on, and since buying it almost 8 months ago, children just do not use it in frustration. I decided to take drastic measures, as I felt the $1 100 I have devoted to this subject has been wasted completely with it being unused.

  Please tell me that I have not created a weight heavy and very expensive.

  I thank in advance for any tips or advice, you can provide.

  Your best option might be to order recovery media to get the machine to factory. You can order it in your list of drivers down HERE

  If you are to meet the challenge of installing the drivers Win 7, I'd start with Chipset AMD here. He should get usb ports work. Maybe you can download and burn to a cd to make it on the AIO.

• Envy of HP dv7 7073ca Windows Recovery Environment help!

  • Envy of HP dv7 Notebook PC running on Windows 8
  • Product number: C2H79UA #ABL

  When I'm on the HP Recovery Manager screen I want to do a factory restore, but it says (disabled: recovery Partition is removed) but when I check the partitions on my laptop, there is a partition that says RECOVERY (D and Local disc (C.)) How can I do a factory restore?

  Ok. Sorry to hear that you did not have serial or usb disk recovery recovery media.

  This means that, unfortunately, in your case, than to buy a set of HP or send to drive hard reimage is your less expensive options.

  It would be wise to buy a set of recovery disks or to ask if an instant multimedia usb HP rcovery disc is available for your laptop.  At least this way, you would be not dependent on any other repair of your PC. You could do it yourself after reading a tutorial or watch a video on using the recovery media.

• Downgrade from Windows 8.1 to windows 7 on a HP ENVY 15 laptop

  Hello

  I recently bought this laptop and it comes preinstalled with windows 8.1 and I wanted to know if I could downgrade to windows 7, if yes how. I'm totally foreign to the way I would go to do.

  I gave to windows 8 a chance and I can just get used to it, it seems it would be much better suited for a pc equipped with a touchscreen (which mine does not).

  If anyone knows, pleae let me know.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  You can move applications on the desktop and you can lock all the apps freq in the taskbar. If you want to access other applications, Start (sorry no click, just as you must not click) and all programs (programs and features, now) come out on top. After 2 days, you will get the usefulness. I have two other icons for stopping and restarting.

  Kind regards.
