HP Pavilion DV7 BIOS - need to change AHCI IDE, but don't have no option to do so. The F.1A BIOS version

I get a blue screen STOP after the replacement of SSD drives. I had taken a picture SpotMau the week before so, fortunately, (I think) I will not lose a lot of work. Now, after the restoration of the image on a new SSD, I get a blue screen with:

STOP: 0X0000007B 0XFFFFF880009A97E8

I have looked for help on this STOP and tells me that I need to change the setting from AHCI to IDE, let the operating system pick up the new device driver and then update after reboot. I know where to do on Dell and Lenovo machines, but this HP doesn't seem to have this option.

Can I update a BIOS later (the latest is sp55068 - F.1B) or make another change to allow me to make this change?

If it helps, Win7 x 64 with 4 GB of RAM on a 128 GB SSD. The old, defective, SSD was also 128 GB.

I tried to put in a 'normal' 320 GB 'plateau' HARD drive but get the same error so assume (with care) that it is relative to the creation of the AHCI/IDE.

Any ideas?

In case someone is interested, problem solved.

It had nothing to do with the BIOS or defective material. SpotMau (for some reason any) created a partition of 100 MB to the front of the drive during the process of the image. This is in addition to the "SYSTEM" partition that creates Windows 7. Using the partition tool that comes with SpotMau I deleted this partition, fixed the boot record (also with a SpotMau tool) and hey-presto, everything works again.

Thank you for taking the time to read these ramblings. I hope this helps someone else.

EDIT: Spelling and a final sentence.

  • How to access the BIOS Setup - Pavilion P6650z, BIOS Version 6.04

    I have a 2 years, Pavilion P6650z, BIOS Version 6.04, AMD Athlon II 250 dual-core processor. Using Microsoft havdetectiontool, I checked the processor is capable of virtualization hardware-so, but I need to enable it. Problem: I have not been able to get to where I CAN enable it. I can access the BIOS settings by pressing F10 on start up, but I do not see the choice for the configuration of the BIOS, either on the main screen or advanced Sceen. Instead of press F10, I tried the key ESC and F2 button without success.

    Hi Elizabeth,.

    There is no option to change the plan of one Adobe ID on the other.

    You will need to get this current plan cancelled according to the link: cancel your creative cloud membership

    Then you can plan on the same subscription using the other Adobe ID.

  • I want to activate the outputs audio multiples to be active, so I don't have to wear my helmet all the time, or need to disconnect anything to the speakers.

    Pretty simple question really. I want to activate the outputs audio multiples to be active, so I don't have to wear my helmet all the time, or need to disconnect anything to the speakers. I checked the 'sound' thing in the Control Panel, but the enable option is not letting actually work. So if I want friends to hear my video games or something else, I turn on my speakers and they can hear it now.

    Thank you.
    Windows 7, 64 bit.

    Audio original tittle: multiple

    Windows does not support this. This is handled by the device drivers or hardware - if they don't support the outputs multiple, you can try the search for an alternative solution.

    Then, it is not incompatible with the Quad Core CPU. I suspect that you have just a bad CPU it. I regularly buy with a higher incidence of disorders than processors, there is no other portable computer components. Sellers say they're working, but a significant percentage are bad on arrival.

  • HP pavilion dv7 4077cl need new hard drive

    I need a new hard drive for my laptop HP pavilion dv7 4077cl entertainment.  The old man is a Toshiba MK6465gsx.  What would be compatible?  Maybe more now I have 640 GB of storage like most.  Can someone help me?

    Hello

    Yes, the HARD drive become more fat and more (capacity), becomes also more small - actually thinner - (dimension) AND cheaper too. You can use more (once again - ability) HDD from reliable suppliers/manufacturers. 750 GB or 1 TB of a WD HARD drive would be a good start - please stay with the one who has more cache and fast (7200 rpm or more).

    My suggestion: replace it with a SSD and put a larger HARD drive on the second span.

    Kind regards.
