HP Envy Phoenix: New MB and HD system will accept no recovery CD

Here's the challenge, I replaced the MB and HD and the recovery disks do not work to get back on the BONE. Is the solution that I need to buy a windows 8 CD and will that work or is there another solution?

If you have changed the motherboard to a different as to what you had originally, the recovery disks will not work.  You will need to purchase another license.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • HP ENVY Phoenix 810: Tiles and charms stop working

    Tiles and charms stop working. When the tiles stops working (by clicking tile on causes Office Office window to scroll) and I could still access the charm of the research, I ran sfc/scannow as administrator. He showed a couple of corrupt files, he couldn't fix, but on reboot, the tiles and the charms worked again. Have experienced this on four times at this point.

    Seems to have started with the last Windows 8.1 update and is somehow related to the engine OneDrive of synchronization.  I hadn't used onedrive; started using it, and this mess. I disabled all settings onedrive pc and laptop and stopped using it. However, the message "Synchronization engine OneDrive" appears for no apparent reason, and then the tiles and charms stop working.  If I have Outlook and Foxfire open apps, they still work, and their open windows always appear in the toolbar at the bottom. All other app shortcut links that have normally pinned it disappear.

    When I try to shut down the PC, if I can do this via the charm of power, I get a message that it cannot be closed because the "Portrait Display Inc. app prevents close.» There is no such program indicated in the list of installed programs in Control Panel. I understand computer Googling there somehow integrated in the HP PC.

    It is a HP Envy Phoenix 810, with a monitor (not touch) HP, both purchased December 2013. 8.1 Windows running automatic updates; using McAffee All - Access AV, up-to-date. Standard desktop applications. No software of Dingo.

    I see that many other people have had this problem, used the approach of the sfc/scannow, with little lasting effect.

    Plnjmw, welcome to the forum.

    If you have configured the Windows system restore, I suggest go back to a restore point before you started having the problem.  This will tell you if the update is the problem.

  • a windows 8 NEW ACER AND the computer will be returned. What should I do to get windows 8 transferred to a new pc? thxs for any help

    BOUGHT AND INSTALLED windows 8 NEW ACER a few weeks ago and now have decided to return the ACER.  What should I do to get windows 8 transferred to a new pc?     can I "return" windows 8?

    thxs for any help

    You must first remove Windows 8 on the computer by restoring it to its factory State. This will allow you to transfer the license to another computer and reactivate over the telephone:

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    ------------------

    Continue to install 8 Windows on the new computer and reactivate by phone if necessary:

    1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

    2. then press the ENTER"" key.

    3. Select your "country" in the list.

    4. choose the option "activate phone".

    5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

    6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

    Hello

    Recovery media, I am referring to disks (or flash drive) that you create yourself using the Recovery Media Creator application on your laptop - you can create it once, so I would definitely recommend to do.  A guide on the creation of this support can be found on the following link.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-envy-X2-11/5296226/model/5336701/document/c03481733

    This support will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, all the original software (including applications on the start menu). They will also recreate all the original scores.  A guide on the main ways to perform a factory reset using a recovery or support of the partition recovery (including a video preview) can be found on the link below.

  • I have a new motherboard and windows do not accept my legitimate product key.

    I rebuilt my system with all new disks ssd and MB and of course my LEGITIMATE code is not accepted, VERY frustrating. Tried many different methods and need this resolved. Any suggestions that don't require bilingual skills?

    You probably have an OEM license that cannot be transferred to a different motherboard.

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )

    Once downloaded, run the tool.

    Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.

    Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message. (please do not change the report.)

  • A1103 new Ram and HARD drive will not start

    Hello.

    I have a Mac mini A1103. When I got there the folder flashing with question mark. I got a macbook earlier where this problem was solved by installing a new hard drive. so I ordered a new 160 GB IDE 2.5 "5400 RPM and 1 GB Corsair Valueselect DDR1 333 MHz hoping that this will help me get the mini running and preforming a little better with 512 MB of Ram.

    When I boot the mini after swapping ram and hard drive I always see the same flashing folder. I can reset the NVRAM Boot, enter diskmode target? (I think) and the Boot Manager.

    When I enter the Boot Manager I can see the following screen

    a few times I get to this screen for Open Firmware screen where I can use certain commands such as vram-reset reset-all rebot and so, but sometimes I'm just stuck on this screen.

    Anyone have any suggestions on what is wrong and what I can try next? I do not have the boot original dvd but I have a usb bootable with IOS 10.6 and a dvd with IOS 10.6 (not original) but I can't get botting from any of the devices.

    A Mac Mini A1103 has a G4 Power PC processor and cannot be greater than 10.5.8. Superior OSX versions require an Intel processor.

    In this statement "a usb bootable with IOS 10.6 and a dvd with IOS 10.6 (not original)" I think you mean OSX, not of iOS. You must obtain a copy of the original installation disc which was 10.3 or 10.4 or disk to upgrade to 10.4 or 10.5 full retail. Coverall A1103 all three 2005 models of the Mac Mini G4.

    You cannot use a grey disc unless it was delivered with your specific Mac.  Native gray disc with Macs and can not e used on the other model of disc.

    You can probably call Apple and order a copy of the original disks

  • How can I fix this error? The bookmarks and history system will not functional because one of the files of Firefox is used by another application.

    I tried many solutions being posted in the support forum. I went and deleted my places.sqlite file so that it has created a new profile. I tried to restore my favorites, and nothing happened.
    I went and found out that I had a places.sqlite.corrupt file. As suggested by one of links provided in other articles, I removed the other places.sqlite files and then renamed just corrupt as places.sqlite. I restarted firefox and still nothing.

    Please do not just copy and paste the links to two articles that helped me not yet. I need to know how to solve this problem, because I had a lot of important information in my favorites!

    You should not copy places.sqlite, if you had problems with the history or bookmarks.

    You need to restore from a backup bookmarks JSON in the bookmarkbackups folder has all of your bookmarks.

  • The date and time system will reset always to the same start date and time when I swith off the pc?

    The default operating system always in December 2003 and 23 minutes after midnight. I don't know how to stop what is happening.  Can anyone help?

    Sounds like you need to replace the battery of the time clock (RTC) real (also known as the BIOS or CMOS battery).

    It is generally inexpensive and easy to do yourself, but not for all computers.  What is the brand and model of your computer?

    I read your post about the problems with your new HP PC and wanted to help.

    You should not have problems with a PC this new.

    While this PC is still under warranty, contact HP customer care directly so that they can put you in contact with HP Technical Support to see what they can do on the diagnosis and repair of your machine remotely.

    I did recently, and HP technology was able to remotely access my PC on the Internet and to make the necessary repairs.

  • HP Envy Phoenix 850: HP Envy Phoenix 850 - optical drive add/upgrade

    Hello

    I'm looking for one of the new HP Envy Phoenix 850 models and ask yourself it is possible to:

    (1) add an additional optical drive? I have a spare Pioneer BDR-209EBK, (W148mm x H 42.3 mm x D180mm)

    (2) or replace the DVD SuperMulti HP standard burner (probably this one, which is THIN; H 12.7 mm x D126.1mm x W128mm)

    The marketing material says "busy; external drive bays One available,"but looking at the photos in the 'upgrade and Guide service' I can't identify where the additional drive would be, and how it would be accessible.

    from the front panel.

    The new models look slick, but if I'm not able to add/replace the optical drive, it may be a no-go - and I have to stick to the last years´ 810-models - or a competitor.

    Thanks in advance.

    Any 12.7 mm mini-SATA Blu - Ray writer will work.

    Just drag on the engraver of DVD and sock it to its place. You may have to port on the front, but this isn't a huge deal.

  • Want to Phoenix 810-200: GTX ASUS 1070 will be Compatible with my HP Envy PHOENIX 810-200

    In a month I plan to upgrade my gpu Amd radeon r9 270 for Asus Strix GTX 1070. I know it's a big update. I don't know if the gpu is fully compatible.

    I know that the motherboard is compatible, but I need help if the power supply is sufficient and if the size is too large.

    My 500W PSU. Will it be enough for the new gpu? I don't know the brand but it came with my HP envy 810-200nc Phoenix office. And the gpu will fit inside my case?

    Please help, I can't know if its compatible.

    First I cut a piece of cardboard to 11.73 "x 5.28" and try to insert it into the space.

    The 500W PSU seems OK based on this review.
