Hello
Check with HP Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask the HP

================================================================
Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
a process that solves the problem.
Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
below.
Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
contacts data with a pencil eraser.
Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.
===============================
Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
do it right.
Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.
Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
the correct registry entries for your car.
Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
the parameters.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
drive from someone with the same model.

http://www.myce.com/storage/
Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.
DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full.
I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full. I don't understand how he got that way... but... I've never used windows to the top, however I do back up with my Norton Security. I'm not a COMPUTER guru AT ALL and am very confused as to what must be saved for me to do a system restore. I just made a backup on a 16 GB usb flash drive, which included photos, documents, email, contacts and music. But what of my registry or my drivers I've updated on the latest updates of 2 years and windows?
So in plain English for the layperson to the computer, lol, can someone tell me...
1. where should I back up to? (windows, norton?)
2. what should I back up? EXACTLY, please. lol (I have hundreds of games, I don't want to back to the top if possible)
3 and... HOW MUCH ALCOHOL SHOULD I HAVE AVAILABLE WHILE TRYING THIS. LOL just kidding. Laughing out loud
Hello
Updates must be installed in a certain order and no Service Pack must be installed unless and until it is offered through Windows Update.
However, try these options:
Step 1: You can not reuse what already automatically downloaded and installed. You can however save updates and install them manually if you wish.
Step 2: You can create a system image on the computer. A system image is an exact copy of a disc. By default, a system image includes the drives required for Windows to run. In addition, it includes Windows and your system settings, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working.

Replaced the Hard Drive shows in my computer on HP Pavilion m8120n Vista Home Premium
Hello
I replaced the second hard drive on my HP Pavilion m8120, Vista Home Premium OS due to the imminent failure. Before that, I called HP Tech Support and I was told that I had to replace the 360 GB HD. I bought a 1 TB HD that I was told would work in my system. Following the instructions, I backed up all the files, installed 1 TB HD and down the system recovery. Now I don't see the disk newly installed in the computer; However, I see it in the disk as ONLINE - not ALLOCATED management. What must I do to see it in my computer so I can use the new drive?
JAX0425
Hello
In disk management, right click on "Unallocated space", click New Simple Volume, click Next, click Simple and then follow the instructions to complete the process - should then appear when you look under the computer.
Kind regards

HP Pavilion a1767c Vista Home 32 bit - BIOS update failed
The unexpected happened by updating my BIOS, we lost the power. Once the power came back, my machine was bricked. I get the error of Checksum BIOS's Boot Blocker
I did some research and found that I could re-Flash my BIOS so I could boot to a CD or a floppy disk. I don't have a floppy drive, and after many attempts, I learned how to create a bootable CD with PHLASH16 and the extracted from the update of the BIOS ROM file that I had downloaded from the HP support site for my computer (sp37378.exe). The question is the program flash will not read the ROM file that I've extracted from your exe file and I can't find the original file for the BIOS on the HP website.
Am I right in thinking I can reflash my BIOS?

HP Pavilion dv6000 (Vista) starts with a blank screen with a cursor after the original hp logo screen. Cannot get it to boot Windows. Any thoughts on next steps?
I remove the hard drive and attach it to your desktop and use the host operating system to run a check disk on your drive. The laptop goes hard disk looking for instructions to start and he does not see the correct code. This is probably due to a damaged boot sector. Another idea is that your bios has changed and you have changed the SATA from AHCI to IDE type somehow or vice versa. You also left a non bootable disk in the DVD/CD drive. Remove all disks from your DVD.

My HP Pavilion dv6-6c13nr Wireless Driver is not installed

I said to hell with it and just DBANed all of the hard disk and install a clean Windows 7 did. Everything was fine except the wireless driver adapter could install.
I tried the Broadcom Wireless LAN Driver and the Ralink 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Adapter linked to the page of the driver of my PC model. On two of them, whenever I click on the downloaded file, nothing happens after having unpacked the file, no installer doesn't run. I tried to run regularly and running as long as administrator, I also tried to run the installation programs directly from where they were first decompress the C drive, on a regular basis and as an administrator.
All other software on the driver of my PC model page and drivers installed just fine except the wireless, it's the only thing and the most important thing, that I can't seem to get on with the job. Windows 7 comes with the PC version was Windows 7 Home Premium, the version I have and that I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate. Not ultimate compatible drivers?
I also held account install earlier versions of the drivers, but I can't find anywhere legacy versions that don't look like not fragmentary. I would really appreciate help with this.

Activation of WINDOWS VISTA oem with another oem drive?
HI I have a computer with windows vista business on that key. Apparently, I do not have the original OEM drive but I have a dell windows vista Enterprise drive. the product to activate my acer desktop computer?Hello
A manufacturer of recovery disc is designed for a particular brand and computer model; they are not interchangeable.
Here is the link to order the Acer recovery disks:
And if the Acer never included a drive to purchase, you should have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista to how it was when new.
With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of recovery back to new condition.
See you soon.

won't down load sp1 does sp1 with backup drive
Hi Erieite,
1. which edition of Windows Vista you are using?
2. What do you mean by saying Vista family?
3. what happens when you try to download Sp1? You receive messages or error codes?
Backup recovery discs or Windows Vista discs are supplied by the manufacturer of the system containing a backup of the original factory condition or a favorable condition of a computer as that set up by the manufacturer of the system. This media is usually comes with most computers to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system. If you use the Vista backup drive, it will delete everything on the system. You should back up important data before making any major changes on the system.
If you receive a prompt to install the Vista SP1, then you must download and install the same. It will not be provided with the Windows Vista backup drive.
I suggest that you perform the following steps to solve the problem of installation of SP1.
You can read the following article and see if it helps.

I have a pavilion with Vista m9457c. Recently, it developed a problem in which the mouse or the keyboard you wake the computer from sleep mode more. I knew that the fan on the video card was bad, so I replaced the video card. This does not solve the problem. I did so that the keyboard and mouse could get the computer from sleep mode, but it is still not correct the problem. If I let the computer to sleep, nothing happens when I move the mouse or press the Crescent Moon on the keyboard. The screen remains dark. Then I have to physically press the power button / stop and return to restart the computer. Help me, Obi - wan!

Hello:
HP only provides support and drivers for Windows 8 on its new consumer notebooks.
If you want to install windows 7 on your model, then you need to find the drivers from all over the place.
Before installing W7, first make your recovery media set by reading the info on the link below.
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03481733
You can use most of the drivers of this model, except the audio and graphics.
DO NOT USE ALL DOWNLOADS OF BIOS OR FIRMWARE FROM THIS LINK
For the graphics, you need a two-step approach.
1. download and install the Intel Graphics driver from the link below. The first file listed. Then restart.
Then, install the Nvidia graphics driver from the link below.
