HP Pavilion dv6-1140ea. want to make the dual boot for Linux also

Hello

I just bought one of these laptops. Is really very nice. I am a software developer and want to ensure that the software I write also works under Linux.

For this reason, I want to make my system dual boot. That means I'll need to wipe the hard drive and install from scratch.

I am really disappointed that the laptop came not with Vista disk (s), and that the HP software I want here (assistant wireless and all that is installed to make Vista works with the card reader, lightscribe DVD, etc.) is not simply written on a separate disc.

So, can someone please tell me the best course of action once the hard drive is to get the Windows partition as it is now with Vista and HP utilities on? I want to get free or very low cost disks that I already paid for this software.

I really hope that it is not my option to create recovery discs. Therefore, your time! I tried their creation and halfway through the process of verification of DVD 1 drive (about an hour in the process), he said verification had not.

I'm looking for a simple, fast and cheap way to do.

Thank you

PUK.

You are welcome.

An alternative or a safety net in case where everything goes as planned. You have a C:\SwSetup folder that contains all your driver/app installation programs. Copy on dvd before making any changes. Use your Dell drive to install Vista, using the license key of the laptop on background to activate. Use your dvd with applications/drivers to complete.

  • Satellite C850 - 19(d) - I want to do a dual boot with Linux and Win 8

    Last week I had a Satellite C85O - PSCBWE-03200WGR 19(d)

    Yesterday, I try to make a dual boot with Ubuntu.

    I do not have a start to boot from USB, or iso CD (same choices as for the Toshiba application), and I did one on the bios:
    -Disable secure boot
    -Change UEFI CSM support
    -Save

    On reboot, I get not Toshiba logo, but a black screen with:

    «This product is covered by one or more of the following patents:...» (list of patents...)

    Realtek...

    PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable
    PXE - MOF: Exit PXE ROM
    "No boot device - insert boot and press a key.

    I can't open the Bios again at F2.

    Which I recover the system?

    Hello

    The unit has been pre-installed with Win 8 64 bit right?

    Change BIOS setting of UEFI to CSM and disabling secure boot prevent Notepad to start 8 to win!

    That's why the device cannot find the boot device and passes to the last option: LAN.
    But given that the laptop can not find bootable system via LAN, the error PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable appears.

    If you want to use a dual boot, you will need to boot into Win 8
    Win 8 you must create a partition for installing Linux. This can be down in Win 8 disk management. It must reduce a last partition and have to create new free space available.

    Now to start installing Linux you need support... you can burn the iso on DVD or a USB bootable Linux. There are a lot of details on the internet how to create these media.
    Once you have created the bootable USB key, restart your PC with USB connected.
    Press F12 for the boot menu. Now you should see the key USB (if it is bootable!) choose USB and you should be able to install Linux (Ubuntu is great!)

    Here's a nice page that would provide the statement all step by step!

  • Pavilion dv6-2155dx: need to fix the card wifi for dv6-2155dx

    Hey guys. I have a laptop HP Pavilion dv6-2155dx with a Intel Centrino Wireless - N 1000 wifi card. The card was to die for a long time now and about to go off completely. All other PCs and phones connect properly to the internet here, except that this laptop connects, but drops to around every 15 minutes, limited connectivity or so and I have to turn off the wifi and then turn it back on to operate for another 15 minutes. Its incredibly annoying and I need help to make sure that I have buy the correct replacement so that it will work. Here is the info I have:

    HP Pavilion dv6-2155 x
    No. WA781UA #ABA

    Intel Centrino Wireless - N 1000 wifi card
    Running Windows 7 64-bit OS
    All the drivers are up to date, the computer is free of viruses, spyware, etc.

    Basically, I need to know if there is a model specific card Intel Centrino Wireless - N 1000 that came with this laptop that I need order. I've seen several different of these cards for sale online, but they have all the different numbers and I just need maybe a link or something to show me the exact replacement I need.

    Thank you very much for your time and help!

    Yes, you need this one

    https://www.Amazon.com/Intel-5100-512AN_HMW-wireless-572507-001/DP/B00O0GG1L2

    The maintenance manual does not list a Centrino Wireless - N 1000 card. You must not only the correct chip, but he must have a part number of HP. Probably your card has this number on it, on a label or on the label that the number of "SPS" and it will be 6 numbers and a dashboard and then three other number 001 usually.

    The 5100 card is dual-band 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz so is in fact a better map and will work.

  • Im just not getting the dual boot I want

    I have a dell that I installed a 2nd HD in 1720.

    I need to be able to boot either Vista or XP without that dreaded OS drive letter change.

    When I boot from vista... I get C: OS but when I boot XP I E: XP.

    A few applications that I have are not well written and require the explicit C.  So when I boot XP drive should list as C: and not E:

    I really need to keep each separated from each other, but be able to use the dual boot without having to tell the machine this disc to start off every time.

    Suggestions?

    You don't need to change the boot order to reinstall Windows.

    Have the Windows CD/DVD in the drive.

    Restart the laptop and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, press the F9 key to get the length of a boot menu options.
