Factory restore does not restore Win7 but Win8

I just installed Windows 8, but I want to go back to Windows 7. So I chose the factory via the HP tool restore Assistant, which I have done many times before getting a clean install.

To my surprise it has restored the laptop to a new installation of Win8, but I want to go back to installing Win7? Is this average score the 'restore Win7' has been changed?

How to get back to Win7 with factory settings?

I don't burn any media. But I fixed it. I was running to the recovery of Windows, I tried again when starting (F11) and this recovery gave back Win7. So I guess there is a difference there.

So I'm happy, I got rid of Windows 8 (and 15 males ;-))

    Like they said, I can't find any mimemappings.properties.

    more information:
    "An alternative is to create a file mimemappings.properties the entire domain to define a type for the '.myext' extension. Start the WebLogic administration console and go to the domain--> for Web Applications. Set a value for the "Mime mapping file' if the field is empty. Next, create the file. Should be the format of the contents of the file: = mime-type extension

    Example:
    myext = text/plain
    WBMP =

    The first entry above defines a new file extension 'myext' and sets the type of 'text/plain '. The second entry above means a 'wbmp' file extension that already exists in the default values. Setting the value vacuum removes the mapping.

    Another solution is to configure the MIME type in the web.xml file. Update the Web application's web.xml file, by adding a element to map the new extension to a suitable MIME type.

    I had a similar problem with my environment, Forms 11 g with Weblogic. Files with the extension ".rtf" displayed as text gross when I used the port 8888 (SST). Using the port 9001 (WLS_FORMS), it worked. I have four servers managed in the group, so I have to use port 8888.

    After a few days and many tests, changing configurations and restart services, I found the file "mimemappings.properties" of Weblogic. In fact, in my environment, I had to create the file with the line 'rtf = application/rtf' and restart the Weblogic Server. It worked for me.

    Using the Console of Administration Weblogic, in Configurations of domain / Web Applications, see the parameter "Mime mapping file. The file must exist in the folder "$DOMAIN_HOME/config.

  • Restore to factory content does not work correctly

    Help, please!

    I had a 'Blue Screen of Death' on my T42. I decided to use the button "Access IBM" and to "restore the contents of the factory.

    However, once I did this, different devices (listed in the Device Manager) were not working properly. The its (SoundMax) did not work at all (no sound from the computer). The INTEL 2200BG wireless network card does not work. I even installed the driver (downloaded on the IBM Web site) and install the driver. Then the noise started working (but the volume buttons on the keyboard do not always work.) I have a little trouble getting all the devices to work.

    I had restored the contents of factory once before, and I don't remember the devices does not. Shouldn't this operation set all devices to work correctly?

    OK, I solved my problem.

    It turns out that the procedure to "Restore the content of the plant" is not complete. A lot of the never executed restore procedure and so many devices were missing (and many pre-installed software).

    I don't know why this happened, but my best guess is that I have accidentally hit the "ESC" key or something like that and who may have quit the restore process.

  • Factory reset does not work

    I have a Nighthawk X 8 I bought two months ago. Up to today (March 7), it worked fine. Today I came home and found it did not work. I tried to access it via routerlogin.net, nothing worked. I tried factory reset using a toothpick about 5 times now, but it doesn't seem to matter. my computer (connected via ethernet) does not allow me to set it up, and I'm not wireless. The power button remains mostly orange, but it seems resets automatically once in a while.

    I tried to call customer service, but they hung up on me while starting to record my router midsentence. I'm afraid I'll need a RMA number, unless someone can tell me why reset does not work. I tried to do it for 8 seconds (directions say that), longer, several times, while it was turned on, turned off, both, etc. None of this helps.

    If I can't get the factory reset to work, is there a way to set up an RMA number without appeal? After the initial CS hangup, I was told that I would be on the phone for an hour, waiting for relief.

    I ended up doing an RMA number. Got my new unit and it is working fine now. If all goes well, he will not leave in like the last 2 months...

  • W530 factory recover does not

    I just had a new w530 and trying to upgrade the HDD to a crucial SSD.

    I ran the thing 'to create a recovery disk' ThinkVantage to burn a factory restore disc. This burn has worked, and this is the only dvd that he asked to burn.

    When I pass on the hard drive and run the recovery DVD, it has been running for a little bit and then asks: "Please insert the drivers recovery disk and applications" 1 in drive D:

    It has only an OK option, which, once clicked complains that it doesn't have the good disk.

    I went to the original hard drive and tried to make another dvd. He finished burning and check, but at the end of the process, it says "an unexpected error has occurred (rc = 9). I have tried this twice and these results in the same message "Please insert disk recovery applications and drivers.

  • Accessories HomeKit does not at home, but work outside.

    Hello

    I recently got a new Signal of Hunter ceiling fan, which is one of the first active HomeKit fans. I went through the installer on my iPhone 7 more for the fan about 20 times. Each time, installation works and the fan is controllable for about 1-5 minutes each time. Then the two buttons for the fan and light are starting to appear 'No response' on them. By clicking on the buttons, surprise, has no effect on the fan or light.

    I have my Apple TV (4th generation) Setup as a hub. I also tried setting to the top of my iPad as a hub. Nor has helped get my fan work. However... today we were shopping, and I happened to pull up the control center. I noticed that Photonics and fan buttons is no longer says "No response" and typed a. After a few seconds, the fan button said it was now on. Then I tried the light. Same positive reaction. I played with them a few moments and everything seemed to work... except that I couldn't be sure, because, you know, I was not at home.

    So, when I got home, I tried again... back to 'No response' on the buttons. What the devil? So I then turned off the wifi on my phone and guess what? The "No Response" disappeared and the fan and light work.

    So there is something when my iphone is on my own wifi network, it cannot speak to the HomeKit accessories. That makes no sense at all. Why would it be? Is there something on my router I need to unlock it (even if I looked and did not find anything which is blocked).

    I contacted the support team for the fan again. But I'm starting to think it's something with the iPhone, not the fan. Oh, and HomeKit opening on the iPad does not work internally either.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Bob

    Greetings, U2SockMonkey!

    To review your post, you have configured your Signal Hunter ceiling fan in your HomeKit and use your AppleTV and iPad as hubs. Your iPhone 7 more on iOS 10.0.2 intermittently becomes a message 'no response' when you try to control your ceiling fan with it but it worked fine while you were away from home. It is apparently only at home and I'll be happy to help you to get this working properly.

    If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch connects to a Wi-Fi network - I found that iOS devices and a home network can stop talking to each other. Follow the steps in this article to ensure that your home's Wi - Fi signal is strong and consistent.

    Take care and thank you for using communities of support from Apple!

  • I want to use a Terminal Airport Express to extend network provided by my Fios router/modem without going through another airport base.  Is there a way to do this?  I understand that Apple does not support this, but surely there must be a way to do this.

    Can someone tell me how to set up an Airport Express Terminal to expand Network provided by my Fios router/modem without going through an airport as a base?  I understand that apple does not support this use, but my applecare Advisor said it's possible.  Thank you!

    Unfortunately, your AppleCare Advisor is wrong if he or she has told you that an AirPort Express to extend wireless signal of a Fios router/modem.

    Function of "Extend a wireless network" Apple is an exclusive feature that was designed by Apple engineers to extend the signal from another wireless only router from Apple. Thus, the AirPort Express... or any other router Apple besides... would not be able to extend wireless a Fios network.

    SO... you have the possibility to locate the Airport Express where it is needed... And... Connect it to the Fios router/modem with a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection, then the AirPort Express can 'extend' in this way.

    Or... If you are ready to add a second AirPort Express, connect the first near Fios modem/router with an Ethernet cable, then the second Airport Express could extend the signal first Express wireless.

    Another way to say the same thing, is that if you want an Apple AirPort router to extend wireless network... then you need two Apple routers to achieve this goal.

    Which SSD drive you have exactly?
    I also think it s a compatibility problem between the HARD disk controller (motherboard) and the current SSD drive.

    So you should check if you have the latest firmware of the SSD drive and if it of possible, try another disc SSD of a friend, for example.

    By the way: have you tried to load the default settings in the BIOS?
