Hi Tina,

Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

HP_Tools is a partition that contains "work programmes" used for the diagnosis of the system.

The partition should be left alone: do not add or remove files from HP_Tools.  is the partition, and it should take care of itself.

You don't need to defragment the partition; HP_Tools is not a part of the operating system that has no impact on the speed or slow your computer works during the day-to-day operations the day.

The following document explains the HP_Tools partition and what to do if you have accidentally added files on the partition.

I said to hell with it and just DBANed all of the hard disk and install a clean Windows 7 did. Everything was fine except the wireless driver adapter could install.

On two of them, whenever I click on the downloaded file, nothing happens after having unpacked the file, no installer doesn't run. I tried to run regularly and running as long as administrator, I also tried to run the installation programs directly from where they were first decompress the C drive, on a regular basis and as an administrator.

    All other software on the driver of my PC model page and drivers installed just fine except the wireless, it's the only thing and the most important thing, that I can't seem to get on with the job. Windows 7 comes with the PC version was Windows 7 Home Premium, the version I have and that I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate. Not ultimate compatible drivers?

  • HP Pavilion dv6 new HARD drive

    Hi guys... the hard drive of my HP Pavilion dv6 was broken and its not detectable more... my question is... can I replace the hard drive of my HP Dv6 with any brand? I still have my recovery upwards... Please answer asap thnx

    Hello

    Your not limited to any manufacturer of player, so you are free to choose the HARD drive you want.  The only point to keep in mind is to buy a replacement of equal capacity drive (or slightly larger) to the original - installing a lower capacity drive may cause problems when using recovery discs to reinstall the operating system.

    Yes, it seems that the support page does not work.

    They had a major problem with the support pages earlier this week, and it looks that it arose again.

    The only BONE that appears is W10, and of course, there are no drivers listed.

    Well... I can probably help you with some of them the hardware manufacturer's Web sites.

    See if the graphic driver directly from AMD works for graphics.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6c47cl: hard drive errors

    I just got the factory reset disks, my pc is out of warranty... Will be factory reset discs allow me to install the new hard drive into the computer and then it will be as if it was directly from the factory?

    I did the resets to factory using partition on computers, but never a reset using the discs... so I hesitate just install HDD without knowing if the reset disks will be re-hard drive partition and install the factory installed software.

    Need help...

    HP Pavilion dv6-6c47cl notebook PC

    Hello

    Big question. Factory reset disks will allow you to bring the laptop to original settings.

    If the hard drive is bad or you replace it for a reason any (like changing for one SSD), you can use the same media to reinstall the OS.

    I hope this helps!

  • HP Pavilion dv6 - 6119tx HARD drive upgrade question

    Hi all

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 - 6119 notebook tx. I am facing a SMART hard disk error and I need to replace it with a new hard drive. It currently has a capacity of 640 GB 5400 RPM HDD Toshiba. All I want to know is can I replace it with a 1 TB hard drive, 7200 RPM (with SATA 6.0 GB/s)? May be I have to 5400 RPM (with SATA 3.0 Gbit/s)?

    Hi kiranmanju

    After some reading on this subject, I think I'll go with MistaB.

    SSDS and hard drives are treated in the same way by the operating system, and they are easily interchangeable. So no, you shouldn't have any problems during the installation of a faster 7200 RPM drive to replace your current drive to 5400 RPM.

    There are only a few things you need to know when buying a compatible disc:
    (A) interface: the vast majority of readers is SATA, and it is what you need
    (B) 2.5 "or 3.5": the first is for laptops, the latter is for desktop computers
    (C) drive height: most of the hard drives 2.5 "are 9.5 mm, and it's what fits most laptops. Some high-capacity drives are 12.5 mm

    Other than that, the rest of the variables are related to performance.

    but I can't guarantee anything of it now. I don't really know why then the user's Guide for your product just omitted part of 7200 RPM if they do not harm anyway. I recommend that contact HP technical support for more details.

    Thank you

    It doe doesn't have a lot of space (physically) to a second HDD. If you wish, you can: remove the ODD (CD/DVD drive) and use this slot for a HARD drive. Please watch the following video:

  • HP pavilion dv6-3299 GRAPHIC DRIVER PROBLEM HD 6550 M

    Hello

    I have problems with the graphics driver on my hp pavilion dv6-3299. I installed windows 8, and it seems that windows will not recognize correctly. Graphics card is Ati mobility radeon 6650M. Sorry for the bad English.

    TNX

    swear

    If the driver is not supported by HP, then you can not go to it. The only thing I can think of for you to do is push your graphics chip. Windows 8 is quite recent and the upgrade of the operating system can affect material and it is very glitchy. The alternative, I can arrive at this moment is to do a refresh for your computer. I had to refresh my computer when I upgraded to Windows 8, but I didn't know that it would remove all my drivers for my hardware. If you want to update your computer, make sure you know where to find all the drivers for your hardware on your computer. Your sound card driver can be removed, your graphics driver disappears too and that fixed my problem with my card when I upgraded to Windows 8.

  • Anci SATA for HP Pavilion dv6-1230us controller driver.

    I need driver Intel Sata Controller Anci (I want to install windows 7) for HP Pavilion dv6-1230us.

    Hello

    If you can still access Windows, please go to your device manager. Click on the pointer little next to IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers and display the name of your controller SATA ACHI.

    I think that according to the manual, it takes the ICH 9 M.

    Here is the link to the drivers: you must select the 32 or 64 bit version as appropriate.

    Copy them to a USB FlashDrive as you see them. Do not put them in a folder. That plug into a USB port. Start the PC and press F6 to load the sata driver or if the installation asks you for this you will need to use your Up / Dn arrows on your keyboard and select the Intel(r) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller.

    Please note that it may not be initially visible in the list of drivers on your screen, this is why you must use the arrow keys to find. Once you, just select it and press on enter and hope that your installation will continue.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 - 6123cl: HP Pavilion dv6 - 6123cl - USB driver problems

    Hi all

    I tried to find a way to solve the problem I encounter without success, so I decided to join this community and hope that someone else came across something similar and has been able to solve.

    I have two identical HP notebook computers (HP Pavilion dv6 - 6123cl) and both of these computers have exactly the same problem. After you have reinstalled Windows 7 for some reason any USB ports on the left side of the laptop are not recognized by Windows, leaving me with only 2 USB ports available. I downloaded and installed all the official drivers from the HP site but the problem remains still. Device Manager will not find the drivers and it drives me crazy because all the USB ports on both computers worked very well so far. What am I supposed to do?

    Any help or suggestion is highly appreciated.

    You are the very welcome.

    Download and install both of these drivers and restart.
