HP Pavilion dv6-2160 problem with upgrade of the disk

I am trying to upgrade the drive in my dv6.  The current disc works well, but I managed to fill up the 300 GB or so on it.  I got a new 750 GB 7200 RPM Hitachi drive.

So, I want to clone the existing to the new and larger drive.  Here is what I tried:

  • Bought a copy of Acronis True Image & burned a boot DVD
  • attached an external 1 TB drive USB for a backup on the laptop drive
  • put the new 750 GB drive in an external USB enclosure
  • tie the 750 GB drive to the laptop
  • Put the boot Acronis DVD in the DVD drive on the laptop
  • Rebooted the laptop and started on the DVD of Acronis
  • made a backup of the laptop drive on the 1 TB drive
  • perform a restore of the backup on the 1 TB drive for the new 750 GB drive
  • removed the original from the laptop drive and replaced it with the 750 GB drive
  • powered on the computer... and nothing happens

At this point, I can't boot using the boot DVD or even press F10 to go into the BIOS.  When I put the disc original back in, it starts very well and I can restart and use F10 to access the BIOS.

So, the question is this: why does not the new 750 GB drive?  AND... Why it won't let me boot from a USB device or DVD with the 750 GB drive in the laptop?

Well, my suspicions were correct. I deleted all partitions on the new disk and put it in the laptop as main drive and allowed me to boot from the DVD drive.  So, I booted the Acronis software and am now cloning the old disc (USB connected) on the new drive and it is automatically re-sizing of partitions.

Thanks for your help pepe99 & erico you two in this.

  • HP pavilion dv6-2150us: problems with the upgrade of processor for an i7-720qm on a hp pavilion dv6-2150us

    Hi all

    My friend recently bought an i7-720qm processor used to upgrade hp pavilion dv6 2 1 5 0 US and I

    summer giving a helping hand by making the upgrade.

    Since the 10 Windows running Google Chrome used up to 70% of the processing of an i3 - 330 m power

    processor, it seemed to be good upgrade to improve the performance of the laptop.

    We checked that the new i7 processor is compatible with the laptop (it is listed as supported by the)

    ( interview guide , page 108), and the seller assured us he tested the CPU on some different

    HP pavilion and it worked fine.

    But when I replaced the processor with the i7 processor i3 and tried to boot up the laptop, only the LED lights

    on the front and the setting of the power and volume buttons would light up periodically. The screen was black

    All the time.

    Thinking I might have made a mistake during the reassembly of the laptop I put the original i3 processor back in

    and it starts fine.

    I updated the BIOS of the F.1C version I found on the internet and once replaced the i3 with the i7 with the

    same results - display off, flashes periodically LEDs. The BIOS updated smoothly, and the correct version is displayed in the main menu of the BIOS.

    I am confused on what could be the problem with the upgrade, everything should work. Is there a BIOS update I have

    missed, or the problem elsewhere?

    Disassembly and reassembly are made with care, and we took care to avoid static electricity. All the rest

    on the laptop works well - I am writing this post on the laptop in question with the original i3 processor in place.

    Any help, advice or general guidelines as to what should be done would be really appreciated.

    Thank you for your attention.

    Hello:

    The problem is that if you look in Chapter 3 of the manual, pp 22-23, there are maps of separate used for the dual core and quad core processors system.

    In other words, you cannot install a quad core processor in a Board that originally had a dual core processor and vice versa.

    2. try directly from Synaptics touchpad driver.  Try the W10 and W8/7 driver... pilot.

  • HP Pavilion dv6: black screen with cursor after the connection

    For two weeks, my laptop lost sound through the speakers and plug headphones.  The computer recognizes there is a problem of devices not be enabled on troubleshooting menus, but when I check the devices individually and test says they are on and sound screens played... even if there is none.

    Due to this recurring problem, I downloaded the drivers for my system updated and uninstalled the old series and restarted my system.  Since then, I get a black screen after login and could make even spybot search and destroy scan my items, but that's all.  Computer still starts in safe mode and can run the Task Manager... Help?

    Hello

    Boot the computer normally and log.

    Black screen, hold down the ctrl and alt keys and press delete.

    Select Task Manager.

    Select the process tab and select to show processes from all users (lower-left).

    Click the column heading to organize the processes in alphabetical order.

    Look for an entry called to run once Wrapper (RunOnce.exe) - If you see it listed, right-click on it and select end task.

    If your office now appears, download AdwCleaner on the following link (there are 4-5 second delay until it's available)- Save in your downloads folder.

    https://toolslib.NET/downloads/finish/1/

    A once downloaded, close all programs, open your download folder and double-click the application to run it (click Yes to any uac prompt).

    Click the scan button.

    When the results are displayed, click the Clean button - when you are prompted to restart, click Ok.

    It starts on the desktop correctly now?

  • HP Pavilion dv6 sleep problem - recover from sleep mode

    Hello, a year ago, I bought a HP Pavilion dv6.  I recently updated all the drivers for it (he didn't have this problem before).

    The problem with this is now when she goes into Sleep Mode, I can't do recover, I press the button, click it, press keys on the keyboard, nothing works.

    When I do all these laptop seems to open upwards, all fans to run again, but the screen is black and it stays black. I always unplug the laptop and plug it back again.

    Help, please

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello! What happens if you click power for a second or two? You must change your power options, so that they work the way you want them to run. I never let my PC pass a 'sleep' mode when plugged into the power supply. If I'm not going to use it for an extended period, I stopped him. Hate the standby and hibernation is even worse.

    Dokie!

    On my PC, I press the power button for one second if if she goes into sleep or hibernation. I guess some of your power options has changed and you will need to change them back.

  • Pavilion dv7-6157 can be upgraded for the games?

    I bought my son the Pavilion dv7-6157nr two years ago and he has problems with graphics on the high-end gaming, he plays. They freeze or crash. It has 8 G DDR3 SDRam, 2 generation Intel Core i7 2.2 GHz - 3.10 turbo and a radeon HD 6770Ms graphics card. Video memory it says "itchable graphics"... What does that mean?  This computer can evolve in a way that would help the graphics? Y at - it a graphics card or driver upgrade? More graphics memory can be affected?

    I'm tired of hearing that suck laptops.

    Laptops are not really designed or constructed for the high end games. I doubt that adding memory will make much difference. Given that the two most important points (CPU and GPU) cannot be updated easily, it is a losing battle.

    The only other options I can suggest are...

    (1) a HP System Recovery to return the computer to a factory like State

    (2) do a clean install of WIndows 7 and try to use latest drivers for chipset manufacturers

    (3) buy a new computer that exceeds the requirements of game
