• Satellite Z930 - mode boot Boot CSM and grayed out on the value

  Hello

  Hope someone can help me please.

  I have a Toshiba Ultra Z930 friends book.

  When you start the laptop does not start it comes up with the meesage PXE - E61: Media Test Failure.

  It is a Windows 8 portable 3rd Gen i7.

  I can boot from Hiren'S and the hard drive is located and can be selected and all files seem to be intact.

  I went into the BIOS and found that the startup mode is set to MSC Mode.
  However, Windows 8 requires the for UEFI boot mode.

  I can't find how to change the boot of the CSM Mode in the UEFI.
  The option is grayed out and cannot be selected.

  Help
  Please

  Hello

  Go to the BIOS by pressing F2.
  Then put the BIOS on the default settings, save the changes and power the laptop off.
  Then switch on the device and access to the BIOS, once more the key F2.

  According to my experience, secure boot option must be available, and you should be able to change the startup mode UEFI/CSM layout too.

• Pavilion 500-164: motherboard replacement raises Questions

  
  

  Thanks, Malygris1, for your very comprehensive answer.  Unfortunately, I'm looking forward and installed the new Board of Directors.  For those faced with replacing a motherboard HP, I will elaborate on my trip.  The most important step was in buying for the motherboard.  I have no HP, but from a dealer on Ebay.  I DID, however, carefully note the model of the motherboard AND the designated HP part number of alternatives on a small paper on the motherboard label.  The same motherboard model is used in several models of HP Office; but, if the number of HP spare parts is matched, the info on the model should be on the motherboard.

  My original problems were solved with the installation of the new Council.  After a router struck by lightning, the ethernet port had stopped working, and when told to stop, or in standby mode, the machine would invariably restart.  The new motherboard solved both problems, which seem to be related to the power surge.

  I installed the new Board of Directors of the Windows 10 updated 500-164 and held my breath I have it powered for the first time.  I was pleasantly surprised to see that everything looked the same as when I left it.  Recognized support assistant the new Board of Directors as part of a desktop computer 500-164.  I have not tried; but I hope that the recovery media will work, if necessary.  Malygris1, do you think that if Support Assistant recognizes the info on the model, the recovery disks will work?  I'm curious to know how it works, but, if not, no big deal, as I now have a new image Acronis 10 Windows installation, which works perfectly on the 500-164 Pavilion (without "Pitfalls", as some have reported with audio, etc. of the wireless card.).

  My second concern was whether or not Windows is always activated with the installation of the new Council.  He said that he "Windows is not activated.  ... Rats and other profanity.  I know it can take time to be put in correspondence with the info from Microsoft, so I updated the bios and checked the rest of the ports for the features of the machine.  I returned in configuration/system Panel and he told me that the activation information were "unavailable" - different from the message 'not active' sooner.  I've been waiting on this screen for a few minutes and the message changed to "Windows is activated"!  I was ready to make Microsoft telephone activation and I had run a keyfinder to get the original MS product key for Windows 8 from the hard drive, but I didn't have to use both methods.

  So, in summary, if you want a card mother 'replacement', shop for the exact number of spare parts HP; not only the MFG part number.  It will save you a lot of grief.  Obviously, if you want to 'upgrade' from your motherboard, all bets are off, because it's a totally different scenario with different issues to deal with.  My project was a complete success at a cost of $103 for the new motherboard and several hours of my time.

• HP Pavilion 500-164, upgrade the video card.

  I replaced the power supply in this area for a graphics card into the PCIE slot. I put a Nvidia 9600 GT in the box, not changed no settings, tried to start, and I get no bios and 6 beeps. Any advice?

  Based on specifications, your desktop HP Pavilion 500-164 has been bundled with Windows 8 installed and has a feature called 'Secure Boot'. You must DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ACTIVATE the standby mode 'legacy' in the BIOS before the computer will start with the nVidia 9600 GT installed.

  Please, remove the video card, make changes to the BIOS and turn off the computer. Then, reinstall the video card and turn on the computer. Your problem should be solved.

  Please see Computer Does starts is not after the installation of a videocard (Windows 8) for more information on the subject.

• Pavilion 500 - 206t: Boot Manager does not appear in the sources of boot UEFI

  I had a working system, until I installed Fedora on it...

  I have since removed Fedora, but cannot get the windows partition to start for the life of me.

  In the bios, I don't see "Microsoft boot manager" in the list of Sources of boot UEFI in the boot order.

  I have the original, untouched windows 7 x 64 partition, the HP recovery partition and 10 windows partition, I recently did a clean install, but still no start.

  I've deleted and recreated a 100 MB EFI partiton and a partion of 128 MB msr by using diskpart.

  formatted fat32 EFI, left the msr as-is.

  C:\Windows\Boot\EFI\ files on the EFI partition in \EFI\Windows\Boot

  Creates the via bcdedit boot manager entries.

  I tried:

  1. Bootrec /fixboot
  2. Bootrec /fixmbr
  3. Bootrec /rebuildbcd

  I also used boot bcd with uefi function to copy the files on

  I used an installation disc USB win10 to the foregoing as a win7 disc does not have the USB drivers for the keyboard and the mouse.

  Am I missing something for the HP Pavilion?

  Thanks in advance

  Repair of windows did nothing.

  I created a ultimatebootcd USB drive (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/) and used parted Magic/clonezilla in order to image the old windows and partitions of hp recovery (not the entire disk) to a USB external HDD (plugged into USB 2.0 port)

  Then I deleted all partitions with parted magc.

  Install win 7 on the system with no partitions, it's easier to reduce windows on partition of 100 MB, but you can adjust it later, also don't you bother with the product key, ignore her.

  Restart the ultimate boot CD, choose parted Magic then Partition editor and create an important partition for windows = or superior to what it was when he was photographed. If your new installation of win 7 took the entire disk, simply to reduce the size of the partition and create the large partition to restore to, don't forget the restoration of 15 GB HP as well. If you don't see all the partitions or get an error in the score editor, see this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1619381

  don't worry about formatting new partitions.

  To restore, you will need to rename the image files on the external hard disk created in the second paragraph above. The partition names will be changed, see this link: http://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/102_restore_image_to_different_partition.faq#102_restore_image_to_different_partition.faq

  After the restoration, start windows installation disk and repair, it will be your old windows partition, restored. Save and reboot the old partition. If everything is successful, you can delete the newly installed partition win 7 and use msconfig in windows to delete startup entries. You can use parted magic to cultivate the restored partition, if you wish.

  Then, install windows 10 to get a true EFI boot.

• HP Pavilion 500-164 playing through my TV station

  My HP Pavilion 500-164 is not an HDMI Jack on the back of the office.  But she has a VGA socket.  I plugged a VGA cable into my office and my television.  But don't you computer desktop on my TV screen.  Nothing else.  I have a HDMI cable.  Should I get a VGA to HDMI?

  You computer has the following connections;

  

  3 - VGA           4 - DVI-D           12 - audio: output port (lime) line

  I suggest to use a HDMI-DVI cable and a mini plug cable stereo 1/8 "to connect your computer to HDTV. Alternatively, you can use a VGA cable, but theoretically, the image will be of inferior quality.

  See examples of Amazon.com (RadioShack.com would not work);

I need to know if there is anythign iNeed know are to make this recovery instructions to tell me if I could read smoothly. I hope it's clear enough for yall to get what im saying lol.   Also if someone has a link to the instructions I have but in English please .

  You are the very welcome.

  You do not have an additional drive or in addition to disks 1-4, there is one labeled accordingly.

  Thus, you would have answered no to the question asking if you have an extra recovery disk.

• Remove the hard drive and optical drive on HP pavilion 500-164

  Hello

  I was eager to build a new computer and was hoping to use the hard drive and the optical drive from the Hp Pavilion 500-164 to reduce their costs. I'm confused as to how to remove the optical drive, because I removed the two screws on the left and don't know how to get to the other side as it wouldn't come out. When you remove the hard drive, the SATA cable wouldn't come off, so I stopped here and would like some advice on how to remove the hard drive from its Bay.

  Thank you

• Pavilion of 500-164 usb controller driver

  I have a 500-164 Pavilion on which I have installed win7 because win 8 is... Well, lets not go. Now, the usb ports do not work. It is said that there is no driver. This driver does not work?

  BTW, some ports are labeled SS E (where E is the simbol of wireless USB) and some are just the E (without SS in front). Is this a new USB type?

  The keyboard and mouse only function in the ports of E. a key drive will not work in any of them...

• the desktop pc Pavilion 500-164 to date of Windows 8 for windows 8.1

  My dealer told me that the 500-164 Pavilion had windows 8.1.  This isn't.  Even if the Assistant on HP site says that it has not been tested, has anyone successfully done?

  Hello:

  I do not have your PC but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

  HP provides W8.1 drivers for this model on its support page.

  Before moving to W8.1, I'll make sure to create the W8 recovery media so that if for some reason, something doesn't work well in W8.1, you can restore the operating system and software from the PC to its status of "out of the box.

  And you should do anyway even if you do not upgrade to W8.

  Check out this guide to make your W8 recovery media set.

• Presario 500-164. upgrade to windows 8.1

  Did someone tried this upgrade with this computer.  All the problems

  Are you sure that it is a Presario 500-164 and not a 500-164 Pavilion?  I can't find a reference to a Presario 500-164.

  However, there is a HP Pavilion 500-164.

  I bought a HP Pavilion 500-075 December 2013 with 8.0 and immediately put updated to 8.1 with no significant problems.   After the configuration of the PC and the creation of recovery disks, I searched and updated all windows updates and HP I could find, then updated via the Windows store.  Everything went very well without error, but I also had not added additional programs or applications before the update to 8.1.  I think it is clear that there is still some 8.1 problems that must be fixed with future updates from Ms.
