HP 360: My laptop encryption

Hello

I bought this HP 360 laptop second hand and so far its worked very well. But after that I changed the operating system Linux I used for more sensative work in college and would be dred think someone walk away with it.

Its constantly updated for my desktop at home, so I wouldn't lose all the data, but I prefer not to have some jerk trying to hack the hard drive just for the hell of it.

So, I want to protect as much as possible by encrypting the whole machine, not just the hard drive. Theres a program on the laptop that activates if the IDs are entered three times incorrectly and begins to broardcast its position very precisely through GPS every 30 seconds until what the battery dies or is removed.

But I want to make it is impossible to do anything to the machine.

Thank you very much.

Michael.

Hello;

Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

Couple of issues with your concerns...

First, it is unlclear you want complete encryption of the disk for Linux or Windows 7 - so please explain.

In second place, one of the sad things that I learned to work in InfoSec is that once someone has your hard drive in their possession, all the encryption is delaying their access - NOT prevent it.

If this person is a typical consumer, they will try to break the access (they will not be able to do so), giving up after a few days and replace the hard drive with a new - for example, to get a FREE laptop in the process.

If this person is working for an intelligence agency, they will have material that will crash the access very quickly and have access to workaround solutions that we don't know about - reference recent access to encrypted iPhone!

So, basically, the best way to protect the information on your laptop to ANYONE if it is simply NOT there - using USB keys with hardware encryption.

  • Xbox 360 on laptop?

    How can I connect my Xbox 360 to my laptop so I can use the screen as a screen? Im trying an hdmi cable, but nothing... Help, please

    Very few portable supports HDMI input - most are only a HDMI output, which means that you can not connect an Xbox 360 console and watching on your laptop.

    Check the specifications of your laptop to see if it supports a HDMI input.

    Try the following.

    First, use another PC to create a bootable Windows 10 DVD or a USB Flash drive via the following link.  Under the section "Imperative to create a cable USB, DVD or ISO", download the media creation tool.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows10

    Once you have it, run the tool, select 'Create the installation media for another PC', then select the language edition of Windows 10 and 64-bit.

    Follow the rest of the guests to create this and then click on finish when done.

    Insert the Installation of Windows 10 support and stop the laptop by pressing the power button for 10 seconds.

    Click next to the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to enter the Boot Menu, and then select the Boot Options Menu ( f9 ).

    Use the arrow keys to highlight the CDROM (uefi) or USB Flash Driver (uefi) option, according to the type of media you created, then press on enter – if you are prompted to "Press any key to continue...". "- make.

    Start on the Menu of Boot Options Advanced - see Option 5 on the link below for more information on access to this.

  • Spectrum x 360 Convertible: laptop grinds to a halt when plugged into its charger.

    Hello

    I hope someone can advise me.

    My laptop recently has problems of severe performance as soon as I plug it into the charger. Everything runs slowly, even just open a website takes an age, windows navigation menus is slowly, basically, every action you perform runs on a 10th of normal speed.

    I used HP online support and the chap took control in my PC remote, lots of services disabled and starting the process and then restarted my PC, making it even more useless! I couldn't even reconnect to the HP support to undo changes, he did. And he has not tried to call me after f * king my laptop.

    Anyway - I have heard that a defective charger may cause the problem I'm having, but when I suggested that he told me that it is a myth.

    Can someone tell what could be the problem. The parameters of plan of my food look good and nothing has been changed in the OS, so I can't understand why this only happens when I load the wretched machine and can only assume a faulty charger or mobile hardware problem

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey there!

    It is MCC, another post that you comment. I can't find the answer on this topic button so I found you here instead.
    Looks like you have the same problem I had. I tried tons of stuff to fix the problem but nothing did the trick.

    But then, I decided to buy a new AC adapter and check if it was the problem.

    AND IT SOLVED EVERYTHING.

    I don't pretend to know that your computer has the same problem as mine, but for me, a brand new $ 80 real laptopparts.ca AC adaptor has been around. Laptop still works like a charm on this adapter. I made sure to buy a better one than the one that came with my laptop. I used to have a 90W, now I have a 135W, compatible with my laptop model.

    I hope that she can help you to know that it worked for me.

    Best wishes

  • Laptop HP Pavilion x 360: cannot find USB 3.0 drivers.

    Hello, I'm using a HP Pavilion x 360 PC laptop with AMD, but I didn't like Windows 8.1 so I decided to install Windows 7 (64-bit). I'm having a hard time finding USB 3.0 drivers. I think the material what ID is-

    PCI\VEN_1022 & DEV_7814 & SUBSYS_22B3103C & REV_11
    PCI\VEN_1022 & DEV_7814 & SUBSYS_22B3103C
    PCI\VEN_1022 & DEV_7814 & CC_0C0330
    PCI\VEN_1022 & DEV_7814 & CC_0C03

    It is for the Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller ".

    Which I assume is USB 3.0?

    In any case, I can't find the drivers for it. Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    The driver USB 3.0 on computers with processors / AMD chipset is contained in a single installer:
     
    http://support.AMD.com/en-us/download/chipset?OS=Windows+8.1+-+32
     
    What usually happens is that may also require two additional drivers:

  • Envy 15 360 t: double support for repairs controls bouncing

    my computer has sent to tepair the case. The case damage was ln the lower part of the 360 envy laptop (it was a month)

    the computer came with the screen out and have bright markings - this was the upgrade of dollar $ too btw 356 improved screen.

    I called 10 minites after as I opened the box when I realized the problem.  I have spenf a nour and the other half being transferred around, during which, I noticed the buttons stick inside of the case, a computer for months.  very angry and red, I said a bad word and said to be silent and transferred again.

    Finally the 9th person I talked to said it includes and went on the subjects with me, has accepted the machine must go back and fix it the right way without charge,

    whereas the first repair was $ 270, it seems logical to me.

    I woke up and realized that they took me $ 252 for this second repair.

    now they have a laptop I paid $ 1200 for and an additional $ 270$ + 252 to make repairs in the first month of possession of the machine.

    This machine more than my car cost me at this rate.   I can't afford to be a customer of hp.
