HP Pavilion dv7-6050ec and 199 MB partition

Hello guys,.

I would ask (that I was not happy with the touch of search here) about 199 MB large partition. I just brought my new HP Pavilion dv7-6050ec laptop, receive Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed and there 4 partitions: 199 MB system. C: 450 GB; Recovery: 15,45 GB; HP_Tools: 103 MB.  I would like to divide the C: partition, but as I have already 4 NTFS partition I'm pretty sure that Windows doesn't let me do (as they will push only me to use max 4 NTFS partitions). So my question is:

Can I remove first 199 MB SYSTEM partition? I'll be able to use HP Recovery (in the future) via F11 on reboot, when I delete this partition? Thanks for any response.

Thanks guys, you two. In fact, I have trouble with back up Recovery partition atm. When I run the Recovery Manager console keeps looking for external USB for centuries. But my (Western Digital) external HARD drive is connected. I also didn't find how to save the HP_Tools partition so tho

You don't have a backup of the HP_Tools partition. When you create the recovery disks, disturbances restore factory settings of these disks, including the HP_Tools partition, the partition recovery etc...

If you have problems to save the recovery partition, I would create the recovery disks. Then, you don't have to anything other than your backup data...

    I saw your question on the boards of the motherboard or system they are known in laptops and they are compatible. The reference is 574680-001 and on page 4-40 of your Maintenance and Service of Guide for the dv7 series you can find instructions on how to remove and components to access.

  • Skype on Pavilion DV7 Vista and Win7 problem

    I have problems with Skype 5.1 - when I try to open it a message appears 'Skype has stopped working, check online for a solution and close the program, etc.'. Nothing is displayed when clicked. I tried searching for virus & update drivers without success. My DV7 was initially running Vista so I decided to do a new install of Windows 7. To my surprise, the problem with Skype persisted, so I can only assume it is hardware partner. I've updated the Bios without success.

    I found a partial solution - start Skype in Win 98 / ME compatibility mode. Skype opens but the video & audio quality is poor. I have Skype installed on 2 desktops with Vista & Win 7 & it works perfectly, so the fault must lie with my HP laptop. Any help would be appreciated.

    Update: if I disable video IDT Audio Device Codec drivers Skype works well (in Win98 / ME compatibility mode) without sound. This suggests that the audio drivers are the cause of the problem - there are several posts on this topic. I tried to install an older driver (6.10.6225.0 instead of 6,10 6276.0) but the program crashes still after a few minutes on a call for the use of the CPU to 85-90%. My machine is the DV7-2030ea with a processor AMD Turion 2.2 GHz, 3 GB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500/5100 graphics & AMD HD Audio. Someone else had this problem?

    Tried Skype 5.2 - reluctant to install & video out does not work. Decided to return to 3.6 (360216). Only works under Win 98 / Me compatibility, but No problem with the gel etc even mode after 30 minutes. Anyone with problems above with DV7-2030ea or similar machine spec, I would say:

    (1) use Skype 3.6 instead of a newer version.

    (2) run in Win98 / Me compatibility mode.

    (3) if the problem persists, replace IDT HD Audio Codec drivers with those of Microsoft.

  • HP PAVILION DV7-6199US and WINDOWS 8

    I have no errors, but to be honest, I have no software to install HP with Windows 8. I need my drivers for my switchable graphics as well as all my other components. HP, please, tell me that you will be kind enough to provide these things for my nice HP computer. Thank you.

    Hey guys,.

    At the moment Windows 8 pilots are not officially supported for these laptops.

    I'm sure they test the books right now, and if everything fades there should be no problem with them releasing the pilots.

    Please bare with them while they find a way to provide you with the drivers.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-6b86us and the printer HP 7520 by a 12 volt inverter current?

    Can I use a sinus prue or modified inverter 12V sine to run the laptop and printer in my truck?

    Hello

    I think you may have meant a pure sine wave instead of "prue Sine.

    The average automotive inverter will provide enough clean power to run the device, but it is not as effectively. You can run your laptop from the inverter, but it won't charge almost dead to full battery while using it. If you can afford to buy a UPS of the top end that feeds a sinewave pure AC your device will work effectively. Take note of the ability of Watts from the inverter, you buy. Best units are manufactured by Whistler and Tripp among others. You might consider tarticle from Consumer Reports in order to understand a little more on the motor inverters and their reading skills. He explained in simple terms.

    Hi, Jon:

    Relatively easy. If I can do it, anyone can.

    Here is the link to the service manual. Read Chapter 4, page 55.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02642701.PDF

    Always remove the battery and unplug the power adaptor to the laptop before working inside the PC.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-4150er upgrade complete. Issue of processor and HARD drive

    Hello. Sorry for my English. I'm from the Ukraine.

    I want to improve my HP Pavilion dv7-4150er and I need advice from experienced people.

    Now, I have:

    -8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB),

    -1 TB of HDD (5400 RPM)

    -stock video (Mobility Radeon hd 5650 graphics card) card overclocked to 700 MHz GPU and 950 MHz Vram.

    -CPU (mobile Quad Core Intel Core i7-720QM, 1716 MHz) in stock

    -BIOS F.29

    2 problems:

    -Slow CPU

    -Slow HARD drive

    I want to buy a few HARD drives SSD for Windows and secondary soft and left for the data.

    Get an increase in the performance of the system?

    On the 'Intel' site, I read that my

    Intel® HM55 Express Chipset Mobile

    is compatible with the more powerful processors. LINK

    And I have a great opportunity to buy Intel® Core™ i7-940XM processor Extreme Edition (8 M Cache, 2.13 GHz)

    But the laptop manual says:

    720QM and 940xm - identical processors. The difference in 'MAX TDP' 45w/55w, 'Cache' 6 mb / 8 mb and clock speed 1.6 GHz/2.13 GHz

    The Intel® Core™ i7-940XM processor Extreme Edition (8 M Cache, 2.13) will work properly in my laptop?

    or not?

    I have read many articles on this topic, but the answer is not...

    And I can't find information on HP F.29 BIOS specification.

    How can I increase a CPU nested way (with another compatible processor) perfomance if 940xm is not compatible?

    Help me please.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hello nickiblackmore.  I understand that you are curious about the upgrade of your laptop.

    Here is a link to Guide of Service and Maintenance of your laptop.  It covers the disassembly of the laptop and can also show you how to replace parts if you upgrade the.

    If you switch to a Solid State Drive of a standard 5400 or 7200 RPM hard drive, you should see a significant performance increase.  This is because a normal hard drive spinning platters and it takes time to locate data on the trays as they are moving.  A Solid State Drive has no moving parts and therefor can locate data much more quickly.

    A CPU upgrade is a much more difficult question.  HP does not recommend that you perform this type of upgrade.  Laptops are generally designed with specific thermal and electrical needs.  If you change the CPU, it will probably create more heat and use a higher power that will cause you problems.  However, if you stick to a processor that is listed in the service (for example in your picture) Guide, you should be fine.  For example, you can choose one of the microprocessors found in the image to upgrade your laptop.  Also, keep in mind that the integral part upgrade as a CPU can affect your warranty (check your warranty here).

    If you think that answers your question be sure to mark the post as solved.  This makes it easier for others to find answers to their questions.

    Have a great day!

  • issues update HP pavilion dv7 - 6157cl

    Currently, I own a hp pavilion dv7 - 6157cl and want to upgrade my memory of 8 GB and the least 1 TB HD. I tell myself that I'll do when I tear apart my laptop apart to replace the cooling fan (strange though - I have a Compaq laptop (which is supposed to be a lower end of the line of HP, but it is more more than 3 years old and the fan is still going strong and even a much older and lower end bridge without any problem of fan - go figure!).) I upgraded my card from a G to a Compaq Wireless N and learned that HP/Compaq white lists for some parts that would allow only some manufactures parts to use. Is this true also for memory and hard drives?

    As the memory goes - what are the specs (I know they are DDR3) but what is the specs of the speed of the memory being used. Being that it's 6 GB I assume that there is a 4 and 2 GB key installed, but as I went through the standard to which it is faster to have the two sticks of memory, the same capacity and speed. I also imagine that extra memory would also improve the part of graphics memory graphics system.

    I'm also going to replace the HD 640GO at least a 1 TB drive - is there a good program to clone the internal drive to use a bigger as a replacement direct without having to reinstall. The cloning process would be simplified that currently buy external USB 3.0 drives 2.5 inches is less expensive than buying discs from barebones (a 2.5 drive "1 TB Seagate can.) I guess if I had a 2 external to partition 2 will I go 1 TB but the way in which the external 2 TB 2.5 "anime it would be worth the cost.

    Finally - these questions are there some made for memory and the HD which are in the 'white list' that can be used. Any information would be appreciated.

    The allow list does that wireless. I could bore you with the details, but it has to do with not applicable to anything else the FCC regulations. You can use any hard drive and memory of compatible configuration and specifications.

  • Error 601 help asked for Pavilion dv7 - 3063cl

    Hello

    I have a Pavilion dv7 - 3063cl and anway there a 601 error. I replaced the internal battery (CMOS) and I thought everything would be fine, but at the start, I get the error 601. I looked around HP.com and other sites trying to figure out how to solve this problem, and he has been without success. When I plug in the AC adapter it will only be "plugged in, not not load." It was a difficult mess and it couldn't have come at a worse time, because I am a student with exams at the corner. One who reads my message and knows or has any suggestions is appreciated by speed. If you need more information, I will provide. Thank you.

    On a side note, I did download and install the latest BIOS but I don't know if I need to do something more in this regard. I'm tech-savvy than the average, but I might have forgotten some minor details. Again, thank you.

    MC.

    You need to replace the main battery.

    I'm working on a G60 who has the same problem.

  • Pavilion dv7-6b76eo: upgrade of RAM HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo

    I created a thread really well here and received great help from @Paul_Tikkanen so if he or someone else could help me, that would be great. Don't know why I can't post a reply in this thread again. They either closed the thread or I'm blind. In any case, I have the HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo and plan an upgrade of RAM. Currently I have samsung 2 x 4 Go PC3-10600 / DDR3-1333.

    1. I think go to ddr4, but what keeps me is some threads I have read saying ddr4 won't even in good physical shape in a ddr3 slot (which is my current) as well as this piece of info from Wikipedia:

    DDR4 SO-DIMM have 260 pines (instead of 204 pin DDR3), which are evenly spaced more close (0.5, rather than 0.6 mm) and are 2.0 mm wider (69.6 against 67.6 mm), but still the same 30 mm in height.

    Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR4_SDRAM

    • 204-pin SO-DIMM (DDR3) have a single notch closest in the center than at 200-pin SO-DIMM.
    • 260-pin SO-DIMM (DDR4), 69.6 mm (2,74 in.) wide and 30 mm (1.2 inches) in height, making it wider than the DDR3 SO-DIMM, with one notch after pin 2 mm 144 (0,079 in.).

    Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SO-DIMM

    This means that a chip of RAM SODIMM ddr4 wouldn't even in good physical shape in the slot of my laptop?

    2. well, okay... If I have to make my peace with her and stay with DDR3 can I at LEAST faster DDR3 install i.e. PC3-17000 / DDR3-2133 because my current a PC3-10600 / DDR3-1333 is sorta slow sometimes?

    Thanks in advance and would really appreciate an answer to the question 1 and 2 above!
