  • Windows 7 recovery media is unable to complete the installation

    I have had a total hard drive on my HP Pavilion DV6-3108EA failure and got the relevant HP recovery media and install a spare drive compatible plug - in this case, it's a Samsung SSD 850 EVO, 500 GB solid state of direct replacement for the deceased Samsung 500 GB disk drive. Drive diagnostic confirms that the replacement drive is fully functional without error.

    The recovery kit comes with 3 DVDs. tightening of the bolts 1 and 2 are the Windows 7 recovery media and #3 is the recovery of applications and drivers. 1 recovery attempt has done OK, loaded all three DVD but eventually stuck at a screen "loading devices (40%). ", which would not go further even after a night's sleep. Therefore, power off, and...

    Attempt 2 is better. I jumped 3 DVD and the construction seems to be almost complete but finally stopped with hearwarming message that "Windows cannot complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer restart the installation"frustrating, I think you'll agree.

    Out of curiosity I tried ctrl-alt-del what task manager open nicely and from there I was able to do many things including use setup to reconnect to my wireless router, enter the number of license Win 7 OK and activate windows, get the right keyboard configuration and launch a copy of IE8 with which I am still typing this message.

    It seems so I have a PC almost fully functional except that Windows could not complete the installation and if I click the OK button in the offending dialog box, it restarts and returns to the same dialog box. Very frustrating. Oh and there is no button start / menu start so clearly there are always things to be completed.

    The recovery media is "System Recovery Kit for portable Pavilion or Presario" (COL35379_631054_031) for which I paid £35,12 and expect to deliver the goods. But it doesn't work. Also remarkable is that the recovery media did not build a D: partition of recovery disk, contrary to what he says. Can anyone help?

    It's frustrating. Fortunately, I can also access this forum and this email addressfrom my Android Tablet and check there return from time to time. Really appreciate your ideas and help here.

    Either by the way, on a different thread, I read the assertion that HP requires to change a chip on the motherboard when you change a drive. This disc is loaded with tools and Windows software and saving the configuration changes as my wireless network details I don't buy that one. Thanks for reading this far.

    Hoping for wise leaders to help me move forward.

    So close and yet so far.

    But I would like to clear one thing up to HP support were excellent - good focus on my ideas of the problem and a commitment to see it through.  No worries about to buy me the hot spare elsewhere.  Problem still not solved, but I'm more forward with other ideas to pursue.  I was told to reset the BIOS date to 2012 (don't know what difference that would make but there) and the construction has progressed much further this time.

    More anon, but had to post a message praising the support that I received today.

    Result!

    Fixing the date of the BIOS to 2012 has allowed the recovery to go much further, but still have up to a point where he had failed.  So, why?

    Silly me!  Should have read the instructions on the screen and their follow-up religiously.  Eventually, the restore process (which takes a lot of time) begins to re - install applications and other things.  The message on the screen at the beginning of this process very clearly said that it will automatically reboot several times.  However, being a little too eager to get there, I finally saw a message that said that such and such an application requires a restart to complete the installation and stupidly I clicked the button restart now.  Who killed for the rest of the installation.  Finally I have sussed out - and kept following reconstruction my itchy fingers away from the mouse to the manuscript to rebuild whole had been terminated, making his own restarts suff and hey hop... a PC entirely restored with a nice new Samsung SSD drive.

    As an aside, if you plan to replace your hard drive (defective or not) with a Samsung SSD tested loading the Wizard software that comes with it to optimize the OS to SSD hardware.  It optimizes the things like the prefetcher and Super-fetch to the machine and the drive to work more effectively together - very impressive.

    Kudos to HP who were great support.  I know that some people say thay have bad experiences.  Mine here in the United Kingdom was outstanding.  The guy listened, asked good questions, gave good advice and has been a pleasure to work with - what would you like... oh yes, his advice worked!

    Thanks to HP real home to my little crisis.

    A lot of work to do now to recover data, backups (yes I) and re - install a large number of tools that I use, but all disks are there and it's just a matter of time now.

    All the best

  • Failure of Windows 7 Service Pack - keyboard missing filter driver - nothing this fixes

    I have a Pavilion dv6, running Windows 7 (x 64) - the software that came with the PC.

    Windows Update tried to install Service Pack 1 (KB976932) - for what seems to be a year now - and each time it fails during Setup and then "lies changes."

    When troubleshooting the installation/configuration has failed, error code 80070490 is provided: device driver error.

    Through "Devices and printers", I literally stripped off unit each for now only that the computer identified himself as a device (it comes to eliminate other devices to potentially cause conflicts).  When I "Troubleshoot" the computer through the "Devices and printers" page, it returns "Keyboard filter driver missing" - so I use the button 'apply the Fix '.  Troubleshooting is complete, and just saying "Keyboard Filter is not a driver" - "not fixed".

    I used the HP website, specific to a computer driver download, under "Keyboard" to install the driver "AMD USB Filter".  Whenever I run the Setup, it says that the driver is detected.  I tried to fix it, unistalling/re-installing/changing - and each time, the "devices and printers" Troubleshooting is back with the same error.

    I tried to use the automatic troublshooter of HP - but after his execution "HP devices Detection" and my PC model/serial number comes up (quite rightly) when I try to use the 'Scan my product' button, nothing happens.

    Now, I do not how to proceed.

    It seems that the Windows7 service pack is not recognize a "Keyboard Filter" - omitting so driver.  By using all the tools of HP that I can find, it seems that the most recent keyboard filter driver is installed.  Whenever Windows Update tries to install Service Pack 1 from the download/installation/configuration steps, my PC is hyjacked for about 45 minutes.  This cycle of 45 happens two or three times a day now... and as you might guess - always at an inopportune time.

    Where should I go from here?  Thank you!

    Hello:

    Unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions that you can try to correct the error of keyboard filter.

    However, you can do your own installation/repair W7 support by reading the info below.

    If you want to try to repair the installation, select the option fix bottom left of the installation screen.

    Repair installation will not require the use of the product key.

    If you want to do a clean install of Windows using the media that you have done, you will be able to read the complete product key 25 character W7 on the bottom of your laptop.

    If you decide to install the version of W7, remember that your restore partition will no longer work.

    So, make a set of recovery discs before the clean install of Windows.

    Instructions for making a drive of W7 installation/repair.

    Download the version of W7 provided with your PC 32 or 64 bit W7 Home Premium/Professional/ultimate.

    Your probably came with Home Premium.

    Make sure you absolutely get the entire ISO file when you see the download complete message.

    Sometimes, he reports the download is finished and your ISO file is a lot smaller that what he said was downloading.

    Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the method of compilation USB or DVD.

    http://download.CNET.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-download-tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.
