HP Pavilion 500-297c: Boot failure now need to recoversystem

My Pavilion 500-297c will not start.   All initial tests HD pass ok.   I am running an extended test.   Resetting the system w/maintain files fails.

I guess even a hard disk failure.   I purchase and install a new HD.  The system came with Windows 8, which has since been upgraded to Windows 10.

So, I'm going to need some kind of bootable recovery disk HP.  No idea how to get a CD or bootable USB drive to restore the system to a bootable state?

Also, given that the current hard drive always seems to work at least in part, I hope to set it up as a second drive on the system once I get the new HD installed.  What is the best way to try that?

> No idea how to get a CD or bootable USB drive to restore the system to a bootable state?

Because Windows 10 _was_ installed on your computer, a "fingerprint" of your computer is registered with Microsoft.

This 'fingerprint' allows you to download Windows 10, on any computer and create a bootable DVD that can be used on your computer, without having to enter a 25-character license key.

Reference: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

There is no need to wait for HP to courier-ship anything for you.

Tip: buy a new disk drive and install, remove your current hard drive.

Install Windows 10 on the new drive and then attach the old drive as a "slave."

and copy all your files to it on the new drive.

  • Maybe a bad Mobo Pavilion 500-297c

    Hello all and thanks in advance for any help there is for.  Against my better judgment, I bought a HP Pavilion 500 - 297 c instead of building my own PC.  In my old computer (which has exploded after 4 years, I was the second owner) I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 550ti.  I wanted to put it in my new computer and knew I needed power upgrade.  I went to my local computer tech store and had them install a new power supply and my old card.  Not that I couldn't do it myself, but I thought with it under warranty I would like to leave to the professionals.  So installed 500W Power and a 6-pin Sata, I thought we were in business.  Unfortunately, it would not pass on the MESSAGE.  The tech thought it sounded like a report of bad memory.  He went out two DIMMS and restarted.  Nevertheless, would not pass POST.  So he replaced the DIMMs, pulled the card and rebooted.  It starts very well this time.  He thought he could be the graphics card itself that was bad.  He then installed his "known to work" test card (a HD 4350).  Still no dice.  I then had him test my video card in one of its computers in floor and it seems to work very well.  We thought it was a bad housing PCI Express.  Someone has an idea, if I forgot something, or if the two are not compatible (I don't see why they would be)?  Any help would be great!

  • Install Windows 7 on Pavilion 500-297C

    Hello, I tried to install Windows 7 on my Pavillion 500-297C.  In the first screen to select Select language setting, time and keyboard, keyboard and mouse do not work.  Is that the problem of no drivers for the keyboard and mouse?  I thought in General, Windows Setup supports the generic keyboard and mouse.  Is - this particular to HP PC?  Thanks for your help to help me diagnose the problem and direct me to where I can get the driver for keyboard and mouse.

    HP provides drivers 64-bit of Windows 7 If you want to install first, but if they will work for the Windows 7 install, I'm not sure.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&LC=en&product=6743755

    Why the keyboard and mouse are not recognized on installing Wiin 7 is a mystery.

  • Pavilion 500 - 206t: Boot Manager does not appear in the sources of boot UEFI

    I had a working system, until I installed Fedora on it...

    I have since removed Fedora, but cannot get the windows partition to start for the life of me.

    In the bios, I don't see "Microsoft boot manager" in the list of Sources of boot UEFI in the boot order.

    I have the original, untouched windows 7 x 64 partition, the HP recovery partition and 10 windows partition, I recently did a clean install, but still no start.

    I've deleted and recreated a 100 MB EFI partiton and a partion of 128 MB msr by using diskpart.

    formatted fat32 EFI, left the msr as-is.

    C:\Windows\Boot\EFI\ files on the EFI partition in \EFI\Windows\Boot

    Creates the via bcdedit boot manager entries.

    I tried:

    1. Bootrec /fixboot
    2. Bootrec /fixmbr
    3. Bootrec /rebuildbcd

    I also used boot bcd with uefi function to copy the files on

    I used an installation disc USB win10 to the foregoing as a win7 disc does not have the USB drivers for the keyboard and the mouse.

    Am I missing something for the HP Pavilion?

    Thanks in advance

    Repair of windows did nothing.

    I created a ultimatebootcd USB drive (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/) and used parted Magic/clonezilla in order to image the old windows and partitions of hp recovery (not the entire disk) to a USB external HDD (plugged into USB 2.0 port)

    Then I deleted all partitions with parted magc.

    Install win 7 on the system with no partitions, it's easier to reduce windows on partition of 100 MB, but you can adjust it later, also don't you bother with the product key, ignore her.

    Restart the ultimate boot CD, choose parted Magic then Partition editor and create an important partition for windows = or superior to what it was when he was photographed. If your new installation of win 7 took the entire disk, simply to reduce the size of the partition and create the large partition to restore to, don't forget the restoration of 15 GB HP as well. If you don't see all the partitions or get an error in the score editor, see this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1619381

    don't worry about formatting new partitions.

    To restore, you will need to rename the image files on the external hard disk created in the second paragraph above. The partition names will be changed, see this link: http://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/102_restore_image_to_different_partition.faq#102_restore_image_to_different_partition.faq

    After the restoration, start windows installation disk and repair, it will be your old windows partition, restored. Save and reboot the old partition. If everything is successful, you can delete the newly installed partition win 7 and use msconfig in windows to delete startup entries. You can use parted magic to cultivate the restored partition, if you wish.

    Then, install windows 10 to get a true EFI boot.

  • HP pavilion a1547c: disk boot failure! Appears on the screen

    How can I reboot my hp pavilion diskless desktop computer

    The message means that the hard drive has failed.  An answer to the question "did I can restart my desktop hp pavilion diskless computer"-No.  Is there not a drive then there is nothing to make the computer.  If the hard drive has failed, then it needs to be replaced and use the recovery media for the computer or use something else, either.  If you do not have the recovery media set, it can be purchaseHERE or you can use a Linux OS for use of a temporary or permanent basis.

    OR buy another OS such as Windows 7.

  • HP Pavilion 500-141ea: GPU for HP pavilion 500-141ea

    Hello

    A couple of years ago, I bought a HP pavilion 500-141ea, I am now looking to upgrade the GPU and the power supply on this subject. I want to replace the old GPU with a GTX 960 but I unure know if it is compatible with my motherboard because I'm not sure if it has the version of the bios that is needed to support the 960 GTX

    Information on the motherboard:

    MS-7778 (Jasmine)

    BIOS version: FRIEND 80.46 10/03/2013

    If it doesn't not work could offer you some suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

    Madness 78, welcome to the forum.

    960 GTX requires UEFIin the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS / Legacy.  Your motherboard has UEFI.  You have two things to consider: 1) the power required to run the video card correctly and 2) the length of the card.  The power supply unit (PSU) to the count is 300W.  I think that you will need a minimum of 400W.  I recommend a block of power SUPPLY Corsair of at least 500W.  The modular power supply to reduce the number of cables you are using.  This allows for better air circulation.  You can determine if the card fits by the measure of the e/s rear plate at the front of the computer.  This will allow you to see if it fits and if other ingredients will be in the way of this Assembly.

  • How to clear the BIOS on an HP Pavilion 500-214ed

    Hi all

    in a Flash of genius unprecedented I accidentally disabled all the USB ports on my Pavilion 500-214ed. Which now leaves me with a useless system, since both USB keyboard and mouse do not work. So I need to reset the BIOS to factory settings.

    I have found the ROM_RECOVERY (E16) jumper on the motherboard, which I guess is that I need to clear the BIOS, but I can't find a manual or something to let me know which jumper settings, I need.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks in advance

    Steve

    Hi, Steve:

    Normally, you can find that info on the motherboard plug page but it isn't here.

    Have you tried to unplug the PC and carefully remove the cmos battery room and pressing the power button to remove all residual power to the motherboard?

    If all goes well, remove the cmos battery will also clear the BIOS settings.

    But if you look at the motherboard first, there are no jumpers labelled CMOS and password?

  • HP Pavilion 500-326na: upgrade of power supply for HP Pavilion 500-326na

    Last year, I bought a HP Pavilion 500-326na. I now want to update its graphics and to do this, I need to power level. I want to upgrade to a CX500, but the specs say that his current power is "external". I don't know what this means, and indeed, I don't know if I will be able to upgrade. I see no reason why I shouldn't be, but everything I've seen only offers assistance on internal types.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    Look at the power supply cord.  If you have a device of black brick similar to those for portable computers, then you have an external power supply. PC with external cannot be upgraded with the installation of an internal power supply as a Corsair CX500 according to HP internal.

  • Need help with USB 3.0 on desktop Pavilion 500-214

    I am currently the owner of desktop HP Pavilion 500-214.

    I noticed that the USB 3.0 ports do not seem to work.  Tried with 2 different brands of USB cables now.

    I connect my Samsung S5 with USB 3.0 desktop.  It connects to the 3.0 for a few seconds and then gives the message "cannot connect USB 3.0 devices.

    Does anyone else have this problem?  If so, how to fix?  Or the troubleshooting steps that you might suggest?

    Help, please.  Thank you.

    "So there is no way to use USB 3.0" so it seems.  It is a problem of Samsung and Windows 10 and not HP

    When Samsung found a solution, then it will be OK.

  • Pavillion 500-214: I have a HP Pavilion 500-214 and need to upgrade the power supply to support a new video card

    I'm upgrading my video card, and the other needs at least 400w.  The existing PSU is only 300w.  What is a power supply compatible to be installed in the Pavilion 500-214?

    Well, we meet again.

    While the minimum requirement is power for most video cards 400W, I always offer at least 500W; 600W is even better.  This will allow a high maximum operating power.  A modular power supply is good in a medium-sized business, because just use cables that are absolutely necessary.  This allows for better circulation of air in the case.

    This is a power supply that should work for you.  You should check the measurements of the existing PSU (5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches) with the measures of the new power supply to ensure that it will not go in the space provided.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer, this is not the place to save money.

  • Disk Boot Failure on Pavilion a1720n

    My computer froze and crashed, then went to a black screen saying Disk Boot failure Insert System Disk. When I go to start my computer it goes either directly on the screen or it starts and runs fine for about 10 minutes and goes back to a black screen, repeat the disk boot failure.

    It is usually a very strong indication that your hard drive is dying. I hope you did the recovery disk set that will be required to reinstall your Windows and your software to a new hard drive.

    One thing you might try is first to enter the BIOS to turn on by pressing the F10 key. Once in the BIOS, press F5 to reset the default settings then F10 to save and exit.
