Flash the BIOS to the operating system other than Vista

Hello

I have a HP dv6500 running Windows 7 for which I want to upgrade the card wifi mini pci-e one of the cards intel available on Newegg, or maybe a 4G card.

However, I read the BIOS of HP stock has a whitelist for the wifi cards, and will work only to select the cards.

I find a updated F5A bios that I am willing to try: http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-HP-Disabled-Whitelist-Mega-Thread?pid=28193#pid28193

I have also heard that Flash a BIOS of Windows 7 it will damage, and the recommended solution is to reinstall Windows Vista. Is there a way to get around this? Maybe I could use a CD EP?

Thanks in advance.

Not that I know of.

Vista or bricks laptop is how I understand.

    Original title: someone help please?

    Working on my old computer, a pentium 4, card mother GA81PE1000, I continued to have this message flashing on the screen "ERROR of LOADING of THE OPERATING SYSTEM" after the restart when loading the software Window XP. After so many years, working on the construction of computer & repair, it's new to me.

    So I checked the Microsoft Website for answers from people with the same problem in the past and apply their suggestions, nothing works... hard drive replaced, the changed value in the bios, did everything possible, still nothing works, phenomenal for me, please help me find an answer, thank you?

    Hello

    1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
    2 - what you want to say that you receive this error message during the installation of Windows XP?

    Check to see if the following is useful.

    Method 1: Disconnect all devices non-essential connected to the computer and restart. Check to see if it boots normally.

    Method 2: You may need to check the settings of the BIOS (Basic Input\Output System). Check if the hard drive is detected. If this is not the case, check the physical connections. Refer to the manual to check the same.

    Warning of the BIOS:

    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I see you want to know if you can install programs on a drive with no operating system.

    I wish to inform you that this is possible with only specific programs, which give the user an option to choose where the program is installed.

    When a program is installed, it runs in program files, which lies in the operating system drive and can not be moved elsewhere.

    Another reference:

    Microsoft does not support changing the location of the program files

  • Will there be repercussions to Program Files on one partition other than the operating system of the installation?

    Will there be repercussions to Program Files on one partition other than the operating system of the installation?  Most if not all the software packages allow to customize the installation.  I had an experience with OFFICE 2013 and this allowed me to install on a separate partition.  After installation, I checked the menu START was 2013 OFFICE & I was able to launch PwrPt without complications.

    My motivation for doing this is that I have several versions of LabView which occupies the huge disk space.  So if I can separate the backup image of my OS program files is greatly reduced in size.  This allows me to record several images of my OS by dates without needlessly chewing my external hard drive.

    Anyone know this & if yes are there complications or questions?

    Appreciate any feedback

  • T610 with Windows Embedded 7 - the system does not license for the operating system image

    Hello community,

    I bought a refurbished computer ThinClient T610 that is running a Windows 7 Embedded English. The label on the package says, that the computer ThinClient is allowed with W7E. When I now run Easy Tools installed on the computer ThinClient hp to create a USB Image with the German language, everything works fine: the image is downloaded from the web and put on the stick.

    But after you start the stick, the installation program tells me: "the system does not license for the operating system image. What I am doing wrong? The BIOS is already the latest.

    Or y at - it another way to transform the operating system in German? There should be an option to download additional languages, but this particual window has no other options. And I have not found any manual way to download other languages.

    Concerning

    Michael

    Sometimes it can be so easy... ;-)

    So here's my solution:

    1. go on the Web for hp Support site

    2. go in the software and driver download

    3. set the language of driver on the language of your choice (in fact: it was the main problem)

    4. download an operating system image

    5. run the configuration tool and copy the image of an operating system on a flash drive

    6. restart the workstation and install the os

    7. take advantage of your computer ThinClient in the language of your choice

    I don't know, why the hp Easy Tools downloaded the image of evil, but with this solution, that I find myself at the same point, as if they did.

  • Satellite P100-324 - GPU overheating due to fan does not work in the operating system

    Hello world.

    While trying to solve the problem of RAM of 4 GB ([this thread | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=28374&tstart=0]), I meet another weird thing - gpu overheating due to fan does not work in the operating system.

    Now, I restored the XP MCE using the Toshiba Recovery and I was VERY surprised to see that the problem still exists! As soon as loading the system GPU fan stops, and there is only tranquility. The application load is heavy on GPU and reaching 104 results by reducing its GPU and MEMORY clock values and NOT in the activation of the fan.

    The same thing happens in 64-bit gentoo. ACPI can be turned on or off, it is not serious, the GPU fan always dies as soon as the system load. In non-OS environments (bios, program of recovery, etc.) the fan works fine, GPU cooling from time to time.

    This problem occurs in versions of BIOS: 2.40, 4.00, 4.20.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, since this laptop is my main working tool and I can't let go 14 days (service).

    I saw in your other thread that you have updated the BIOS and you have installed several different OS.

    Fact is that the BIOS v 4.2 package contains BIOS 32-bit and 64-bit OS.
    Your laptop has been preloaded with Win XP MCE 32 bit. Please use the 32-bit BIOS if the original XP MCE running on the laptop.

    Hello everyone.

    Today I turned on my laptop A300 and does not load the operating system. In other words, Toshiba logo appears, the message "Press F2 to enter SETUP", but not in continuity with the boot. Yesterday it worked and did not update the BIOS or something else.

    Someone has an idea? I deleted a both SDRAM and vice versa, to check that the problem wasn't RAM, but no. There is no beep. LED touch 'NumLock' and other, power on and off when I have impulses, so the keyboard responding but by pressing F2 or F12 does nothing.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Start your laptop with F8 and test if you can start the operating system in safe mode.

  • remove the operating system

    Hi I want to completely erase the HARD drive and replace the operating system.

    Windows 8.1 is better than 8 buggy, horrible but if I'm tired and want to go back to windows 7, where it does not crash and is just so much more stable.

    I have a HP Envy 700-230ea. It will not recognize a device to boot to other operating systems, so I can't wipe it off and replace it becomes prety frustrating so why I am here now.

    I also noticed that the bios is pretty much non-existent saddens me also!

    I spent £900 on a computer I should at least be able to put the operating system what ever I like about it.

    Please can you help.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    To perform the boot from your Windows 7 installation disc, you will need to boot into the Bios Menu, and then disable Secure Boot and allow material - see the document at the link below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03659945

    Additional drivers for Windows 7 64-bit is on the following link.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=6753462

    Note:  Looking at the specs of your PC, it is listed as coming with Windows 8.1 if the HARD drive will have a Partition Table GUID - assuming you are going to install a 64 bit version of Windows 7, just choose the CDROM (uefi) option from the Boot Manager (tap away at f9 as you turn the power on) to start the installation.

  • XP SP3 no sound after reinstalling the operating system

    Hello

    I have re-installed the SP3 of XP on my Toshiba laptop and it has no sound after that. You may have installed the operating system in "secret" mode and so there is no sound.

    I checked the audio settings are that all settings are correct.

    Is it possible to go back again to the sound.

    Kind regards

    R

    Hi RAJRAU,

    You can try to check if the onboard sound is disabled by checking the advanced settings of the BIOS.

    If so, try allowing it and see if it helps.

    You can see the manual of the system manufacturer or contact the system manufacturer for more information on how to make the changes in the BIOS.

    Note: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    You can also read the following article and try the steps to solve the sound problem:

    Hello

    System Restore puts your computer's settings to a date earlied.

    You mean that recovery of the system.

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    This sounds like the BIOS failed in a different startup command, or
    you have a USB key that tries to start and failed (for what is obvious
    reason!)
    -Make sure you have nothing plugged in USB ports except your
    Mouse keyboard &, if necessary.
    then try a cold start
    If it works, then plug your USB stuff one at a time, each reboot
    time - see that it causes.
     
    If it doesn't, then check the Boot in the BIOS order - to ensure that
    the CD and HD are the first two devices (up to you that who!) and who
    Activate you the option "other devices balance"if it's there. "
     
    See if that cures it.

  • When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

    Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.
