HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx - do not pick up the Samsung 840 Evo SSD for clean installation

Hello

Laptop model: HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx

I bought a new Samsung 840 Evo 500 GB SSD and going on to replace the main HARD drive. Tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate on it using the USB bootable Win 7, it loads the installation and starts ok and then he asks to load the driver for any device and gives you an analysis of the option to see if there is any storage device to select for installation. It clearly shows that it does not pick up the SSD.

Unfortunately the bios insydeh20 V3.5 has no possibility of even check if it is detected or so.

What do you think is the problem? The BIOS update would solve this issue? or is there any other work around that.

Thank you

Mike

Before I went ahead with the method you suggested, I tried updating the Bios with the latest version and voila... system picked up the SSD and all is well now.

Thank you

Mike

    A couple of months, I had someone replace my fan and the heat sink. Since the replacement my integrated webcam and MIC do not work. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers several times. When I go to device management there is no legacy Imaging.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx: HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx Windows 7 x 4 Can not find Hard Drive

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx. I put in a new hard drive. I can't get Windows 7 x 64 to recognize during the installation. I tried the Intel Chipset drivers on the HP download site for my laptop. I also tried the x 64 drivers from the Intel website: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24293/a08/f6flpy-x64.zip.

    I tried with the original hard drive in and Windows 7 does not recognize either.

    Any ideas on how to get Windows 7 to recognize the drive?

    Brian

    I understood why Windows 7 does not recognize the hard drive. I tried to install Windows 7 from a USB key. I burned the BONES on a dvd and booted on the dvd and he found the hard drive. It is trying to install Windows 7.

    Problem webcam and HP SimplePass troubled can be tricky - when they don't work, it may be easy to fix - or terrible and difficult to understand.  I hope I can help.

    ===============================================================

    The camera can be other problems.

    The Support of your laptop troubleshooting Web site section:

    HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx laptop / troubleshooting

    Help for Webcam / camera:

    Article > Webcam / camera

    Look at this document for help and suggestions:

    Laptop HP, Touch and PC AiO - Webcam troubleshooting (Windows 7)

    What happens if nothing helps?

    It is possible that the tiny wires in the camera are broken.  If nothing is done to fix the camera, you may need to consider that the wires that connect the camera to the computer are loose or disconnected (broken).  If that's true, in other words, if the wires are broken or disconnected, the webcam / camera will not work.  This isn't good news, but this is not cheap having fixed.  You can take the computer to a local computer repair center, the confidence of having this kind of work.  HP can also do this repair.  If you have the skills, you can do the repairs yourself.

    ===========================================================

    HP SimplePass

    Reboot = redΘmarrer

    HP SimplePass is sensitive to "other software" on the computer.  Everything must be "up-to-date" and ready to go.

    For example, you want to have your update of the .NET Framework, you want to have your updates from Windows Update (in the last month or almost) and you want to make sure that you do not have a shortage of pilots.

    For example:

    Page driver your computer laptop Support site:

    Category: Software - security > HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection

    sp57232.exe

    Category: Software - Solutions > HP framework

    sp56878.exe

    The short answer:

    Preparation

    • Stop all programs: browsers, games, Applications, etc.

    Control Panel > display icon > System > System Protection >

    Select (highlight) your main drive (C)

    Click on Create a Restore Point

    Installation of the driver and HP SimplePass

    • Download the Driver of sensor of validity on your computer:

    sp56403 validity sensor Driver W7 - 64 bit V4.3.301.0

    • The pilot will probably download in your "Downloads" folder
    • Install the driver of sensor of validity by 'double click' on the name of the file
    • Restart the computer and log in

    Next

    • Download the version of HP SimplePass program 5.4.0.402 on your computer:

    sp58600.exe

    • Probably, the package will be downloaded in your "Downloads" folder
    • Install the HP SimplePass program in "double click on the file name.
    • Restart the computer and log in

    See if you can get HP SimplePass program to start

    ===============================================================

    HP SimplePass Version 5.4.0.402 is an older version of the program SimplePass.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work for everyone.

    There is a newer version of the HP SimplePass program drawn up by the same company (AuthenTec) that might work.

    If you want to try it, follow these steps:

    • Download this program:

    sp63224 HP SimplePass V6.0.100.276 Win7-8

    • Probably, the package will be downloaded in your "Downloads" folder
    • Install the HP SimplePass program in "double click on the file name.
    • Restart the computer and log in

  • Catastrophic customer service, Pavilion dv7 laptop STILL not repaired, shuts down randomly

    I've had a Pavilion dv7-6c95dx for over 6 months now and 1 week after I bought it, the laptop began to stop randomly. Firstly that it happened sometimes, usually once a week. When this problem occurred, I had to open the Task Manager, as well as SpeedFan and Manager tasks showed that everything worked well minus 50% of their capacity and SpeedFan has indicated that all systems (HARD drive, processor, motherboard) were running at 50 degrees Celsius (when I talked with a representative from HP on the phone, they told me that their products are supposed to operate at the maximum temperature is 90 degrees Celsius). I assumed it was a small issue, and, after a few months, to see if Windows 7 because of the problem, I installed Ubuntu (Linux). The same problem. I then reinstalled Windows 7, Ubuntu and even threw in a copy of Windows 8 for good measure and the same problem kept happening, but now it would be up to 4 TIMES a DAY. It would be closed (meaning that just go to a black screen, with the familiar sound of hard-stop which makes the fan) usually when I'm either: play a video game, who does not use a lot of RAM or CPU at all and is not graphic, or watch a YouTube video, usually HD and full screen. I'd hear the fan starts pumping a little (I knew it could get loud if necessary, but it's never told fort) and usually after a minute or two, he would have hard stop and then restart itself. So after 3 months of daily irritations, I decided to take my laptop to Geek Squad in the best buy, the store where I bought the unit. Geek Squad was no help: I sent the unit in 4 TIMES and first they said that the problem was "A defective HDD," they replaced, without success, and the other 3 times, they could not reproduce the problem, so that was the MONTH wholly wasted and worn out waiting for my computer back. I then asked to call HP, in the store, because when I called HP, I was not able to get a straight answer and HP, after AN HOUR of talking on the phone in the store, with a Geek Squad Manager, has reluctantly agreed to send me a box to pack up my computer and send it to HP service center. I received a call from HP after the computer and surprise, surprise, they could not reproduce the problem either! I asked about a policy of lemon no., and they said they didn't know what to do to that, of course, continue to send the laptop. When I got my laptop, I also got an email from HP asking me to rate my experience, and after I gave them the low ratings consistenly, so only I was able to speak to a case under the name of Kevin E Manager. He told me that I have to send the laptop in for "more extensive testing" (I'm not sure what this means, should not run them not testing the most extensive possible THE FIRST TIME AROUND)?) and when I asked about the policy of lemon no., he said after I send it, they will look at "other options." This time, the heat sink has been replaced, because for some reason, the laptop was running at 90 degrees Celsius, (which never happened in all my time to possess, to the best of my knowledge) but, of course, they were unable to reproduce the original problem. When I got my laptop, there was still the problem. When I called HP back, Kevin told me that at this point, they may send a representative to my home. 15 minutes before the arrival of the local representative, the closed laptop. I was relieved, because I thought it meant that I could reproduce the problem and show him. However, after waiting for an hour, with more applications running that generally required to shut down the computer, he WORKS PERFECTLY. As a matter of fact, the representative took the home unit for 3 days, and it worked perfectly. When she returned, of course, could do nothing about it. This device has been repaired 7 times now, and it is a shame. Kevin called me today ' today - in fact, it was after 1 week of waiting for a response from "24 to 48 hours." Moreover, off the 8 times that Kevin has promised to follow with me, it was only once I received a call during the response time promised 24-48 hours-another 7 times, it's me calling to him.

    Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed by the products and the HP customer service and would certainly not bought this device from them if I had known that I have would have been treated this way.

  • Game of demand does not pick up the good period open to active fixed from the SQL statement

    Hello

    We have a demand that could kick off the simultaneous application of the value: Ixr: list of asset by period and Ixr: reserve book report.


    ON overall demand, we set the parameter: default period based on a SQL = select period_name from FA_DEPRN_PERIODS where book_type_code = 'PER2011' and period_close_date is null


    The query runs with the good period, until we open the new period, the game application will still come closed period.

    When I run this script on the database, it gives the correct name of the open period.


    Why all the demand does not pick up the open period?


    Rock


    Hello

    When planning, the parameter values that you gave when planning will not change.

    For the test, for a simultaneous program, I create a parameter and has given the value 100 tank and default type sql statement and the value as below.

    Select to_char (sysdate, 'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss') of double

    If, at the time of the program, it shows a default value such as the date and time with seconds. Then I planned it for every minute.

    When you check in for each race it is seen the first time only, it does not.

    so in your case, you must plan its new after change of period.

    Hope this will help you...

  • Z500: Samsung 840 evo does not (under windows)

    Hello

    I replaced the build-in the hard drive in my Ideapad Z500 with a brand new Samsung 840 evo and tried to install Windows 8.1 on it.

    (I also replaced the dvd player with a hard drive caddy, where I put the old hdd)

    Unfortunately, I can't install windows.

    Whenever I try to format the primary partition, nothing happens for about 3 minutes, and then he throws the error code 0 x 80070057 "unable to create partition" (actual description is in German)

    When I boot from the old hdd and try to format the SSD inside windows, it does not either.

    Magician tells me, everything is fine with the ssd, but it cannot perform all tests, because there is no volume

    SATA controller mode is AHCI.

    Boot mode is UEFI.

    Here's what I've tried:

    -In installation: diskpart-> disk list-> select disk-> own-> convert gpt-> exit (exits without errors)

    -Manual partitioning with parted magic

    Someone at - it an idea that doesn't require you to disassemble the laptop new? That's what I want to only try if all else fails. I was very careful when you replace the readers and did not notice any physical damage, suspicious sounds, etc.

    Several times after that I opened Google it does not connect to the internet. Has worked for a long time, and now it will not. Sometimes it opens if you "Refresh" sometimes not.  Help, please. It has been stable over the years and now it will not work. I get no help when I diagnoise of problems, but I never. It has been checked and rechecked. PitStop does not even recognize a problem. I could change the homepage, but I prefer to use Google if it works. Frustrating.

    C:\ [VirtualCenter_installation_directory]\resources\windows\sysprep\1.1 so copied the files extracted to the location C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\resources\windows

    3 then I copied and extracted the file \support\tools\deploy.cab on the windows 2003 CD and copied the sysprep files extracted to the following location on the VC Server

    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep\xp

    For XP SP2 Sysprep files can be downloaded from the Microsoft site and are called

    Windows XP SP2 deployment tools

    The article you linked was VirtualCenter 1.x. Since you have given a version number of VirtualCenter I assumed it was 2.x or later.
