• HP envy 17 can not boot windows or using recovery DVDs after the replacement of the motherboard

  Hi all, I need your help

  first of all sorry for my English but I'm from Greece. I really don't know a lot about the mobile only very basic computer.

  I have a hp envy 17 3d 2080en with windows 7 Home premium which, after overheating, chips to the motherboard. I ordered and installed a used motherboard from China (part 630793-001 hp number).

  After that I tried to start the laptop, but when he opens he said probably due to the change of the material he cannot start windows normally. After reading a lot on the internet, that I tried using the recovery DVDs I had prepared before the problem, but they will not start just yet. Then, I tried to use the cd system repair but again no luck.

  I looked in the bios as some people say on the internet and realized that the product number and serial number are different from those of my laptop and it's maybe part of the problem, but I don't know. I looked in other posts about similar problems, but did not get a definitive answer and this is why I post for your help.

  Thanks to you all

  IF YOU HAVE AN HP LAPTOP (MINE IS HP ENVY 3D 2080EN) THAT YOU HAVE CHANGED THE MOTHERBOARD WITH ANOTER ONE (MINE WAS FRIED OVERHEATING) AND AFTER REPLACING YOUR LAPTOP DOES NOT START AND YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH SYSTEM REPAIR DISC OR DOES NOT PERFORM A CLEAN WINDOWS INSTALL OR DON'T LISTEN NOT A RECOVERY CD/DVD RECOVERY THEN EXPERTS HP WHO KNOW NOTHING. LOOK IN YOUR BIOS, AND IF YOU SEE THE PRODUCT NUMBER OR SERIAL NUMBER DIFFERENT THAN THOSE APPEARING ON YOUR COMPUTER (USUALLY IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT) THEN GO TO A HP SERVICE ALLOWED AND TELL THEM TO HAVE YOYR TATTOOED BIOS. WITH THE TATOO (COST US $ 40), THEY WILL REPLACE THE NUMBER OF BAD PRODUCT AND/OR THE SERIAL NUMBER WITH YOUR MOBILE PHONE NUMBERS AND YOUR PROBLEM IS SOLVED. MY MOTHERBOARD HAS BEEN FRIED TO OVERHEAT AND I BOUGHT A USED ONE FROM CHINA. AFTER I REPLACED IT THE LAPTOP WOULDN'T START AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO REPAIR DVD HE OR EVEN THE USE OF RECOVERY. I CALLED HP SUPPORT, I EVEN JOINED THE HP FORUM TO ASK FOR HELP AND I GOT ONE EXPERT WAS USUALLY TRY THIS OR TRY THIS. DON'T LISTEN TO THEM. FINALLY, I READ AN ARTICLE FROM THE INTERNET THAT EXPLAINED THAT WHEN YOU CHANG THE MOTHERBOARD / SYSTEM BY ANOTHER THEN THE BIOS REFERS TO THE NEW PRODUCT NUMBER, MOTHERBOARDS AND/OR THE SERIAL NUMBER AND THIS WAY THERE IS INCOMPATIBILITY WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW WINDOWS TO START, YOU CAN NOT REPAIR WITH SYSTEM REPAIR DISC OR IT DOES NOT PERFORM A CLEAN WINDOWS INSTALLATION OR A RECOVERY CD/DVD RECOVERY. ONCE YOU TATOO THE BIOS THATS IT. THE LAPTOP WORKS. I HOPE THAT THIS MESSAGE WILL HELP SOME PEOPLE WAISTING THERE TIME AND SPEND THE MONEY FOR NOTHING

  Hello

  1 were you running the scan of auditor of file system as an administrator?

  2. you have any security program installed on the computer?

  3 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

  Method 1:

  I suggest to perform the disk check and check.

  a. click on Start
  b. type cmd in the start search box
  c. right-click on cmd.exe in the list programs and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted to provide a
  Administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click continue
  d. in the command prompt window, type the following command and press enter Chkdsk/r X:

  Note: in this command, X: is a placeholder that represents the drive letter of the volume you want to check.

  a. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.
  b. close all applications and restart the computer.

  After the computer restarts, repeat steps a through d for the other volume and then check if the disk cleanup works.

  Important: When running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found, all available on which data may be lost

• Expanded the bad virtual disk but not Guest OS - Shrink?

  Not quite another question generic "shrink the VMDK.

  I accidentally spread the bad virtual disk in vCenter 725 GB to 1 TB. Fortunately, I realized that until I expanded the partition to use the new space in Windows. Is it possible to reclaim that space? In the virtual machine settings, I have the options of arrow to "reduce" the size down, but I'm not sure on the impact at the prompt to do. Certainly if the guest has not been extended to consume this space then it should be recoverable?

  as you're talking about: the option arrow in the virtual machine settings

  This does not leave you reduce (Shrink) the size of the virtual disk, which has already been strengthened. This option is useful in the case when we say you went into settings of the virtual machine, the disk size increased from 10 to 20 GB, but not yet committed that change and you want to return to 15 you can then use this arrow to do.

  Please visit following KB, is the answer to your question, use VMware converter.

• Then Toshiba send me a new windows disk?

  I brought my laptop for Christmas, he came with a windows disk (they can be on at the bottom of the box, I'll check when I get home) but came pre-loaded with Windows Vista.
  I have a few XP discs but I don't want to go back to XP now.
  So, if I don't have a disc, is it possible to send off for one?

  I want to format due to orders does not and mutiple errors on start up.
  This and it has been incredibly slow. I tried to search for viruses with McAffe and AVG, as well as appropriate Norton and it will not find anything at all, despite the obvious sighs.

  Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I couldn't tell...

  Who and what Set Up Utility?
  Can I use it? When I start my laptop, it's by "menu boot entry.

  Hello

  > So, if I don't have a disc, is it possible to send off for one?
  I put t know what laptop you have, but I guess that your laptop was equipped with HARD drive recovery.
  This allows you to recover the laptop without using any disk recovery.

  Of course, there is an option to create an own recovery DVDs. You read operating instructions!

  From my experience, you could use the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  Good bye

• 860-160SE Phoenix envy: how to get 10 Windows to recognize the new hard drive

  I installed a new WD Black 2 TB hard drive and the BIOS sees it, but Windows does not. It is not found in Windows. What I am doing wrong or do I need to put in place?

  Hello

  You can see Windows disk management? You must initialize and give it a drive letter and Windows 10 should see under Explorer files (old Windows Explorer).

  To access disk management please use search (or Win + Q) and type "Disk management" and then click the Service.

• New hard drive. Do I need windows disk?

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop and recently the hard drive has failed...

  It was running windows 7 home basic 64-bit and did not come with recovery disks.

  im going to buy a new hard drive to replace soon and I was wondering what discs do I have to get my system running again?

  A member of the family has the same exact computer and I made a recovery disk of the Panel out of it. can I use this disc to install windows or anything? I don't really want to buy hp disc because I don't want any additional programs but if I wrong choose on a windows disk $7,100.

  Yes, you need a Windows install disc. However, there may be a way to restore from the image of the system of the other computer you have, that you say is the same. I'll get back to you on how to do it later.

  You can also use the restore disc, you created from this computer.  If it is exactly the same.  I'm not sure of the legality of it, but...

• How to replace a bad IDE disk with a USB Flash drive system - and have all the functionality of XP Pro SP3

  How to replace a bad IDE disk with a USB Flash drive system - and have all the functionality of XP Pro SP3
  Given a PC without hard disk...
  How can you use a flash drive instead?
  So, indeed, the USB key works as an SSD...
  I saw online options that gives partial functionality of the system... and an option that is more than $100 (more than the system's worth)...
  None of these options are acceptable in the circumstances.
  It is an effort to create a machine for a particular use, built from a recycled pc for which hard drive was removed and destroyed by the original owner...
  The criterion is that it must work just like it was a mechanical drive running xp pro sp3 with all updates, etc...
  Thanks for any help.

  You can not install XP on a Flash as his unsupported drive. Your only two options are a traditional hard drive or Solid State Drive (SSD).

• How can I do to repair Windows Vista if I don't have a disk drive & asks me to insert the Windows disk and select Repair.

  I have a netbook with no disk drive that is running Windows Vista.  When I try to turn it on, it tells me that a file is missing or damaged and that I have to install my Windows disk and select repair.  Seeing that I don't have a hard drive on my computer, How can I do to repair vista windows?

  Hello

  Netbooks have the option to reinstall the operating system to when it was new.

  They have a recovery Partition on their hard drives the same as most laptops and desktops...

  You should ask the Netbook Manufactuter for particular key sequence to begin a recovery.

  Some manufacturer's instructions are to press F10 or F11 at startup; others are Alt + F10, etc..

  The installed software doesn't have knowledge written in programming to realize that you have a Netbook and you are unable to insert the disc. That's the way it is written, unfortunately: one size.

  And some more expensive Netbooks now have a DVD player.

  See you soon.
