HP Compaq dc7800p missing disks

• OS for HP Compaq dc7800p Convertible Minitowers boards

  Gentlemen (and the occasional Lady).

  I just bought a minitour Convertible HP Compaq dc7800p computer on the cheap.

  From what I see, it seems almost not modified from its original configuration. It has an Intel Core Duo E6550 2.33 GHz processor, 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, a 80 gig HARD drive and DVD read/write.

  HARD drive appears to have already disappeared completely - not even a left system recovery partition - so, no OS.

  I ran HP Insight Diagnostics on it and everything passed the comprehensive test.

  Now that I am fairly confident that it will work properly, I need to choose an operating system. It comes with Vista Business and I can get a replacement from HP for $11.00 drive. I don't know what service packs, where applicable, the hot spare. This would be a factor because I am limited to 56 k modem and these service packs would take a loooong time to download. But, all things being equal, I'd rather have Windows 7 Premium. The problem is that all things are not equal! A copy of Windows 7 is around $90,00 of distributors such as Tiger Direct.

  I'm accustomed to Windows XP and have never used later versions of Windows. It is popular wisdom that Win 7 is greater than Vista in many ways, but it is $ 79.00?

  I want this computer to take over the online activities of my XP computer because XP is more dangerous. I'll keep my XP machine and put any contact with the outside world when I'm pretty confident with a new OS. The HP machine will not be called to lift heavy objects - but that could change over time, as the HP is easy to upgrade.

  Given the description of my situation, it would be more prudent to get Vista Business on Win 7?

  Extended support for Vista is scheduled for completion in 2017, where I would then face the same problem that I have now with XP and I would find myself looking for a new OS once again. Win 7 will be supported until 2020. In the coming years a new version of Windows will be better than Win 7 to the point where I don't want to change operating system before 2020? This HP computer will be obsolete before then as to makes it unusable?

  There are a lot of these questions without reply. The essential is that I'm a good sobbing market and I eventually get more for my money on a copy of $11,00 of Vista or $90.00 for Win 7?

  Beyond that, I have other questions, but I'll fix it in another post. I went too long in this one!

  Thank you for your interest!

  Hello:

  I have a dc7800 CMT (E8300 processor) that I bought for my wife and upgraded to W7 because I got an upgrade to W7 pro I used no license.  I installed 8 GB of PC2-6400 memory and use a graphics Radeon HD 6570.

  I have for all of Vista Business 64 bit recovery disc to restore the original operating system should I decide to donate or resell the PC some days.

  I had the other dc7800 CMT (processor E6850) for my mother and order the recovery disks Vista Business 32 bit for it.

  Now, you can have a choice of the floppies to install Vista Business 32 or 64-bit.

  The set of recovery disks you get should have included SP1 (mine do).

  Then you will just need to DL SP2.

  It was the first thing I did once Vista was installed before that I made another anytbing to download the Setup file of Vista SP2 Standalone directly from Microsoft.

  If you do not ever plan on installing more than 4 GB memory, then the set of 32-bit recovery diskettes will suffice.

  I put 4 GB of memory in the PC of my mother because I had 4 x 1 GB of PC2-6400 memory, laying around.

  Windows 7 is a better operating system.  I call it "Vista that works."

  But really the main differences are:

  1 Vista seems to use more memory to run than W7, so more memory, you can throw to Vista better it works.

  2. the disk defragment tool seems to take forever to work.

  3. a few other minor quirks which I was able to use a few settings to make it better.

  I have used many of the settings on the link below and my mother PC works fine on Vista Business 32 bit.

  http://www.thewindowsclub.com/make-Windows-startup-run-Shutdown-faster

  I have disabled Vista Disk Defragmenter and use free Auslogics Disk Defragmenter that works just great.

  If I don't have a W7 license for use, I would have been perfectly happy under Vista Business dc7800 of my wife.

  I run Vista Business on an old notebook nc6400 and it works very well on that too.

  Then... IMO, I have just spend the $11.00 and go with Vista. If you like it, then you have saved $ 90 million.  If you have not, you buy W7, and you may have professional Vista recovery discs use one day as I want.

  A few final thoughts on the PC in general...

  1. make sure emulation sata in the BIOS storage section is set for RAID and IDE not.  RAID will be performing hard drive because it can take advantage of the native command queuing in RAID mode and it cannot in IDE mode.

  Many of the dc7800 are used in enterprise environments and have been downgraded to XP Pro. I would not be surprised if a large number of defined system IDE controller administrators when they set up their corporate images, because if they understand not drivers SATA RAID/AHCI necessary necessary in their corporate images for this and later models, their image it not install if the BIOS is set to RAID mode.

  It is the only native command Queuing does.

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Command_Queuing

  2. set the boot order to boot from the hard drive first.  Who's going to shave a fraction of a second startup time.

  You can always press the F9 key at the beginning of the HP welcome screen to boot from another device.

• Clean the OS install on HP Compaq dc7800p CMT - which drivers/software for HP?

  Gentlemen.

  I decided to first try the road at low prices and to order a recovery disc Vista professional instead of a copy of Win7 for my HP Compaq dc7800p CMT with Intel Core Duo E6550 2.33 GHz processor, 1 GB of DDR2 800 MHz RAM and HARD drive retail 80 GB sata.

  I'll have to download drivers and software from HP and there is such an astonishing array of software available for this model I don't know really what to download and what I can let it slide.

  This is designed to be a professional computer maintained by computing professionals, but I just want what he as a general-purpose computer "ordinary".

  Now I tell myself that I should get certainly all drivers because they are strictly based on the material and will also apply to my needs to those of the original unit office drone was designed for. I just discovered, in cases where there is more than one choice of material, what advice or feature of this particular machine has to obtain the correct driver.

  But sometimes to wonder if, as Vista will be installed on a HP reinstall drive, has the disc still a library of drivers HP to replace the more generic drivers that can come from a MS retail disk, which makes it unnecessary for me to download drivers HP. I doubt it, but it is best to ask.

  The BIOS is less obvious. I think that there is a BIOS version that is newer than the one currently on this machine (786F1 v01.04). I've heard several philosophies on the BIOS updates: one is, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it. " Just replace the BIOS if there is a problem (s) it might lessen. The other school says you should always have the latest version of everything, even if it not is not the current problems. So, should I get the latest version of the BIOS?

  I have no idea what ' ME ' designated operational entities and firmware if I should worry about this.

  Also less obvious is the software designed for increased security, seamless integration with an enterprise network and generally make it easier for the IT guys earn their salary. I don't know what, if any, utility most of these things would provide in my situation. If there is no hardware on the system which would "complain" If a particular piece of software was not installed, then for the stability of the system, I do not want to have even if I never use it.

  I know I ask much, here, but Paul Tikkanen in response to my initial post on this computer, mentioned a few BIOS settings that may be to my advantage. I'll use these suggestions and all that more that can take this machine more pleasant to work with my circumstances.

  Sorry... Just one thing. The descriptions I've read of this computer say she a dial-up modem 56 built-in of k, but it is referred to as a 'soft' modem It applies to a sort of virtual modem that exists only if the driver for it is installed? When I ran HP Insight Diagnostics, a sort of device LAN has been entered, but not modem. I have a dial-up modem, believe it or not. I just downloaded the SP3 for Vista and it took about 21 hours! Ridiculous, but it prevents me from wasting time on the cat and pornography videos.

  Thank you for your interest!

  I'll have to download drivers and software from HP and there is such an astonishing array of software available for this model I don't know really what to download and what I can let it slide.  There is a page of software and the drivers of the computer.  You can install all the drivers on this page.  If the driver does not need to be installed the system will tell you.

  This is designed to be a professional computer maintained by computing professionals, but I just want what he as a general-purpose computer "ordinary".  Here is the technical reference Guide for your computer.  It has all the information you might need.  In some sections, it has all the models listed.  Just look at the CMT.

  Now I tell myself that I should get certainly all drivers because they are strictly based on the material and will also apply to my needs to those of the original unit office drone was designed for.

I doubt it, but it is best to ask.  Yes, the majority of the drivers is installed during the recovery.  You need to update the drivers.  You can run Windows Update to get updates.

  The BIOS is less obvious. I think that there is a BIOS version that is newer than the one currently on this machine (786F1 v01.04). I've heard several philosophies on the BIOS updates: one is, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it. " Just replace the BIOS if there is a problem (s) it might lessen. The other school says you should always have the latest version of everything, even if it not is not the current problems. So, should I get the latest version of the BIOS?  My theory is, don't update the BIOS if it does not solve a problem you are having with a component.  A failed BIOS update makes a good door stop.

  I have no idea what ' ME ' designated operational entities and firmware if I should worry about this.  Firmware is the software that tells the operating system do with a component, as for example a drive opticlal (CD/DVD drive).  Windows Update can also be found for you,

• HP Compaq DC7800p Convertible: Fan never works at high speed

  Well Hello hp. My question is that I have the hp compaq dc7800p with intel q35 chipset. I also have the intel core 2 duo e6750, who comes to 66 without high-speed fan spining. I checked, the site of intel, that it is said that Tcase is 72 C I also have the problem with the chipset, there too big temperatures when you play. It goes up to 80 C. What I would do. Should I change cpu fan or don't start high speed at 70 ° C and for the chipset how cool up to at least 60 C, I have the normal aluminum without cooler chipset. I play the games are battlefield 3 and 4 and yesterday my pc freezes, and when I rebooted funs went at full speed, but nothing showed on the screen for 5 minutes, is now well, fortunately, but I all wory to much.

  Temperatures look ok so far.

  -In addition to being very energy efficient - Core2Duo processors have built-in thermal protection.

  If ever they come to high temperature, the frequency is decreased. If temperatures reach critical CPU turns off.

  Chipsets get usually a little hot under load.

  80 ° C is still about 25 degrees below criticism.

  What graphics card you have?

  As far as I know, feeding in these machines has only about 360 watts, which is not enough for some high power graphics cards. It is most likely the reason why your PC freezes. Video games cards consume not only a few watts, they also generate a huge amount of heat under load.

  Anyway, there are two things you can do:

  First, go to the HP Support and get the dc 7800 manual.

  Uninstall the CPU cooler and apply new thermal paste (don't forget to clean the old one).

  Then, increase the speed of the fan slowed down in BIOS F10 for better air circulation.

• 16 GB cache missing disk

  I ordered a T450s and he received a couple of weeks. I opened it now to replace the HDD with a SSD, and I wanted to remove the cache 16 GB SSD drive, which would now be superfluous.

  The problem is that the cache drive is not there. I'm sure that I ordered it, and it showed up on my order. But he is not where he is supposed to be.

  I don't know who I'm supposed to contact about this. I don't want to return the laptop. I would have preferred that Lenovo send me a cache drive, what I paid for, or at least give me a refund for her.

  I've attached a picture where the missing disk should be. I'd appreciate any help that anyone can give me.

  Thank you.

  Hello:

  For a video card, I recommend the AMD Radeon HD 6450 half-height card, which works perfectly with the 240W power supply in your PC.

  Make sure that you get one that includes low profile brackets in the area.

  Memory... you can install a maximum of 4 x 2 GB memory PC2-6400 for your model if you are running a 64-bit operating system.

  I have used this brand in my dc7800 CMT.  I bought 2 games and maxed out.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820231207

  Processors... Mine came with the E8300, so I didn't change that.

  Here is the link to the quickspecs for your PC.  You can find taken processors supported on page 9.

• VSAN missing disks

  I see this on our vmware infstructure

  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  Any ideas how I can get these discs to redisplay healthy? the server see them very well, but I don't seem to be able to get them back in the vsan? I could just remove the groups from the disk and add?

  This has happened after maintenance mode and reset for a 5.5u2 update.

  This notice comes without any warranty.

  If you are a vsan.resync_dashboard and shows no data to resynchronize, then I think that it safe to remove and Add.  It could be useful the wrong wipe them all partitions to add it back.

  Are the missing disks on one different controller than the others?

  Thank you, Zach.

• recovery system for Compaq Presario V6310US disks

  Real novice here and, of course, I did not receovery disks when I bought my laptop.  Talked to HP colleagues tonight on the purchase of recovery disc for my Compaq Presario V6310US.  He told me that I don't have to buy records; that I could go to HP.com and download them here.  Told me it was easy.  I told him that he did not know me!  I had the location of the driver/software and see a lot of things listed (including the order form to purchase recovery discs) but don't know what to do (other than to order discs by mail for me).  Am I supposed to just to buy the discs or am that I supposed to burn discs for all the other things that listed there and not buy discs by mail?

  Your help, in the simplest of words, is much appreciated.

  Message edited by hp4578 on 03/01/2009 21:39

  You must phone/web-form to order them and have them sent you... There is no mechanism in place to download records (officially) from the HP website.

• HP Compaq TC4200 recovery disk

  Hello

  My HP Compaq TC1100 video card went bad so I bought a HP Compaq TC4200 tablet as a replacement, I bought on ebay and the seller loaded it with Windows XP Pro, I think he has a Windows XP Tablet COST (I have not yet received so I do not know the certificate of authenticity, but it's a Tablet so I'm figuring it's a tablet of COA) , My question is can I download a copy of a recovery disk HP TC4200 Tablet from a site like Torrant for my TC4200 XP legally?

  Thank you

  Andy

  HP is quite liberal with you not sourcing recovery media from other sites, I don't think it's a question.

  If you don't feel comfortable with another source, order recovery disks form HP

  You can order materials from HP recovery on the link below, or call HP on the phone to order 1-800-474-6836

  If HP has more recovery media for your model, order them here
