How to you turn off the card reader in the BIOS of HP on a dv6693us

I'm trying to clean up the hard drive with Dban, it keeps hanging up on the pci sysfs that is a known issue with HP and the Ricoh card reader. All forums say to turn it off, but for the life of me I can't find it in the BIOS. I disabled the only other thing I can, the only one who has been activated was the CD-ROM drive.

I'm not the most experienced in there, but I've never had a problem before. I just need to turn it off, otherwise I'll have to open the case and disconnect it physically... that I would prefer not to do so.

I tried to use Secure Erase of the Center for Magnetic Recording Research, but it does not work either, looks as if it was developed for Windows up to me. I thought nothing to lose then burned the disc and it froze before you start running.

Now after reading some of the reports I'm not if sure that any written software program is 'sunk', but I'm not too worried, I don't have that much to personal info here ever. I have other computers to it. I just want something that does a great job and works well. I lost days to try to obtain Dban to run so far.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

I looked in the BIOS on a DV2810us I, who is the little brother of lil 14.1 '' laptop series DV6000/DV9000. There is no place to turn off the card reader that I can find.

Try something else like Partition Wizard, my personal recipe. Scroll down the page and get > Bootable CD ISO and > ImgBurn to burn the iso image to cd, a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here. Once created, boot from it. Delete hard drive partitions, create and format.

  • How to you turn off the functionality of Flash player auto-update?

    The reason why I want to disable it is because my client doesn't have administrator privileges and gets the automatic update dialog box. Since they are at a level of business, only it professionals can have privileges to update the player.

    After scouring the web, all I could find is this html doc:

    http://www.Adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=16701594

    Describes how a computer can turn off the automatic update via the mss.cfg file, but not what I need.

    I saw the white security paper flash in versions 7, 8 and 9 ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_8_security.pdf, http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_9_security.pdf) which mentions

    Is this actionscript code and how is it used? Like this: FlashPlayer.autoUpdate = false or: FlashPlayer.autoUpdate (false)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do you turn off the coast of the touchpad mouse on an inspiron 1545 Dell laptop?

    My touch pad is so sensative, sometimes I touch again and she mobilizes. I VERY rarely use it. I don't want to turn it off completely, I just turn it off. My last laptop is an HP and it had a button to push at the top to turn on and off, but this one isn't. If someone could tell me how turn off when I don't want to use it and turn it back on when I please? Or should I contact Dell and ask them?

    Hello

    Check with support of the manufacturer system, documentation online or forums that there is probably
    Shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

  • How to you turn off the user invited on the login screen?

    How do disable you the guest user account on the login screen?

    Basically, I have a brand new Macbook, but can't for the life of me figure out how to get rid of the guest user account.

    Summary:

    • MacBook 2016
    • El Capitan 10.11.6
    • FileVault is enabled
    • Find my Mac is disabled
    • Comments User in users and groups is set to Off

    Tried the following from another forum:

    1. make sure that 'find my Mac' and guest user are disabled, restart;

    2. check if the system integrity Protection is enabled or disabled by running: csrutil status to the Terminal.

    3 if she says ' Protection of the integrity of system status: activated. "go to 4.1.

    4. If not, only 4.4 and 4.7;

    4.1 restart in "Recovery Mode": stop and hold command + R after pressing the power button.

    4.2 go in "utilities > Terminal" and run the command: csrutil disable.

    4.3 restart;

    4.4 open the Terminal and run: sudo touch /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/EFILogin.framework/Resources/EFIResourceBuild er.bundle/Contents/Resources, this will force the update of the connection EFI;

    4.5 reboot (again) in "Recovery Mode": stop and hold command + R after pressing the power button.

    4.6 go in "utilities > Terminal" and run the command: Activate csrutil;

    4.7 reboot and it's fixed!

    4.8 re activate 'Find my Mac' as you wish.

  • How to you turn off the warnings on pages window

    How disable you the warning of substituted fonts, etc. during the opening or reopening of a Pages document? I'm tired of seeing it almost everytime I open the Pages. The last straw for me was the appearance of "warning: there is no warnings. If not, where can I find and install common missing fonts when you work on .docx documents imported into Pages (like Calibri)?

    There is no way to prevent the Committee of cautions, only the possibility to hide after she appeared via the view menu: hide warnings.

    Pages will not invent the fonts or font styles if they are not installed. MS Word will invent false appearances bold and italics, and when the actual fonts are not installed on OS X, you will get this warning sign.

    Microsoft Office fonts (Calibri, Cambria, etc.) are allowed by Microsoft through Office 2016 for Mac or Office for Mac 2011 facilities. They are not freely downloadable on the web, as some would say. If someone downloads and uses a Windows font only or download a free Internet police - and use it in a Word document that is not provided by Microsoft or Apple, then you will get an another warning sign. It is a real PITA without police discipline and foresight on the exchange of paper.
