How can I install Linux or Win7 on my PC of h8-1534 HP ENVY?

Hi all

I try to install Linux or Win7 in my office h8-1534, because I really don't like Windows 8 System. I was working on this for the whole weekend, but I failed.

By installing the Linux system, I followed the instructions step by step:

http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2013/09/install-Ubuntu-Linux-alongside-Windows.html

I tried four editions of the Linux operating system: Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04 and Mint mate 13 and 16. All have failed to find a partition, the partition list is empty, as shown in the following image:

While a successful installation should show this: (I have captured this image from the link above)

I think that this may be because I not create a partition for Linux properly, but I created a partition unallocated in the Windows8 OS by using the disk management tool.

By installing the OS Windows7, I followed the solution in this link:

http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-hardware/need-Win7-drivers-for-H8-1534/m-p/3070893#M70817

However, the Setup program cannot find the drivers during the installation process. Actually I have downloaded all the drivers on the site and stored in a USB drive and specify where the installer should find the drivers but the installation program may not always understand these drivers.

Can someone tell me what are the problems on my installation? Especially how to correctly install the Linux operating system in my PC H8-1534?  Thank you very much! I'm so disappointed now because I spend the whole weekend but still have no resolution.

Thank you once again.

Sincerely

Xiankun

Hi TheOldMan,

Thank you very much, the parameter should be set as you say.

As for the problem of the empty partition list, it must be resolved by typing "sudo dmraid-rE" in the Terminal. This need to run Linux on the compatibility mode, so we can run Terminal.

The above method is described in the following link:

Thanks again for your help

Sincerely

Xiankun

  • How can I install Linux (Ubuntu or Kubuntu) and Windows on the same HARD drive?

    Hello world

    I have Toshiba L20-148 and I have the Toshiba product recovery DVD and I have the DVD Ubuntu

    I'm only able to install Linux or Windows XP Pro I have with the recovery DVD

    and the only way I know to install both together by installing linux and windows... but every time I try to install windows, then factory data recovery, it is just the whole HARD disk and install windows only...

    any help?

    Hello

    As mentioned that the Toshiba Recovery CD contains image and files during the installation of the OS on the HARD drive or the partition will be formatted. In this case all data will be deleted.
    Therefore, you must create a second partition for the use of Linux. But be careful. Linux uses the special file format. Partition Magic 8 contains and supported the creation of the Linux partitions.

    So if the new partition has been created, you can install the Linux

    It is possible that the recovery partition "can" still be fuctional if Linux has not deleted it. Check the manual of the owner on how to start and start (press key during the initial boot process) the process of recovery. If this does not work then contact the manufacturing of the laptop and see if they can still provide you with recovery media.

  • Qosmio F50: How can I install Vista Business

    I need to install Vista professional.
    How can I do?
    I have to format it?
    So how do I install back all the utilities and drivers which it came with?
    I have problems with my laptop if I do this?

    Hello

    The Vista installation is not difficult.
    He just put the Vista disk in the STRANGE and then start from the disc.
    The installation will start automatically.

    But this will format your HARD drive and you will lose your installed Win XP and other files.

    > How can I install back all the utilities and drivers which it came with?
    I guess you have a Toshiba Recovery disk.
    If you want to retrieve the OS installed by Toshiba, then you need to use the Toshiba Recovery for recovery disk.

    PS: what Qosmio F do you have exactly? I ask because 108 F is not known to me

    MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, beginning 2013) El Capitan 10.11.3, Simple question here: I can't open FinalCut Express (4, I believe). The wheel turns for hours. How can I install/uninstall and will I lose all my old films (for the most part stored on external hard drives). Thanks for your suggestions.

    You will not lose anything, but the app if you uninstall. If you decide to uninstall use this app to make sure that all the other files which depends on FCE are also deleted however I can't give you any assurance as to whether you will be able to reinstall so that it works correctly. It is a software that has not been supported for almost 5 years and there are conflicting reports as to its compatibility with OS X 10.11. Can't I test it myself.

    Maybe someone else will chime in with their own experiences.
