• HP Pavilion a1767c Vista Home 32 bit - BIOS update failed

  The unexpected happened by updating my BIOS, we lost the power.  Once the power came back, my machine was bricked.  I get the error of Checksum BIOS's Boot Blocker

  I did some research and found that I could re-Flash my BIOS so I could boot to a CD or a floppy disk.  I don't have a floppy drive, and after many attempts, I learned how to create a bootable CD with PHLASH16 and the extracted from the update of the BIOS ROM file that I had downloaded from the HP support site for my computer (sp37378.exe).  The question is the program flash will not read the ROM file that I've extracted from your exe file and I can't find the original file for the BIOS on the HP website.

  Am I right in thinking I can reflash my BIOS?

  Can you help me to loacate the worm/Date BIOS:

  Phoenix Technologies, 5.08, 12/08/2006?

  Thank you for your time and help,

• HP Pavilion dv6000 (Vista) starts with a blank screen with a cursor after the original hp logo screen.

  HP Pavilion dv6000 (Vista) starts with a blank screen with a cursor after the original hp logo screen.  Cannot get it to boot Windows.  Any thoughts on next steps?

  I remove the hard drive and attach it to your desktop and use the host operating system to run a check disk on your drive.  The laptop goes hard disk looking for instructions to start and he does not see the correct code.  This is probably due to a damaged boot sector.  Another idea is that your bios has changed and you have changed the SATA from AHCI to IDE type somehow or vice versa. You also left a non bootable disk in the DVD/CD drive.  Remove all disks from your DVD.

• Can a system pre-installed with Windows Vista be manually downgraded to Windows XP?

  Can a system pre-installed with Windows Vista be manually downgraded to Windows XP?

  original title: Windows Vista to Windows XP?

  Can a system pre-installed with Windows Vista be manually downgraded to Windows XP?

  No, you can't downgrade. But you can probably * clean install * Windows XP.

  I say "probably" because there is a potential problem with drivers XP being available for all hardware. If the computer is a laptop, this risk is greater. So check with the manufacturer or on their web site to make sure that all the drivers you need do not exist for XP.

• I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full.

  I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full. I don't understand how he got that way... but... I've never used windows to the top, however I do back up with my Norton Security.  I'm not a COMPUTER guru AT ALL and am very confused as to what must be saved for me to do a system restore.  I just made a backup on a 16 GB usb flash drive, which included photos, documents, email, contacts and music.  But what of my registry or my drivers I've updated on the latest updates of 2 years and windows?

  So in plain English for the layperson to the computer, lol, can someone tell me...

  1. where should I back up to? (windows, norton?)

  2. what should I back up? EXACTLY, please. lol (I have hundreds of games, I don't want to back to the top if possible)

  3 and... HOW MUCH ALCOHOL SHOULD I HAVE AVAILABLE WHILE TRYING THIS. LOL just kidding. Laughing out loud

  Hello

  Updates must be installed in a certain order and no Service Pack must be installed unless and until it is offered through Windows Update.

  However, try these options:

  Step 1: You can not reuse what already automatically downloaded and installed. You can however save updates and install them manually if you wish.

  Step 2: You can create a system image on the computer. A system image is an exact copy of a disc. By default, a system image includes the drives required for Windows to run. In addition, it includes Windows and your system settings, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working.

  Thank you!

  Look at the link above of HP XP drivers.

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

  If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

  Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

  Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

  http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sg_clean.asp

  Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

  Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

• A6525UK: Pavilion upgrade Vista to Windows 7 not compatible NVidia Drivers?

  I have a Pavilion model A6525UK I wanted to update to Windows 7 premium 32 VistaHome.

  I ran advise upgrade of Windows 7, which told me to download the latest driver for the Nvidia nForce ethernet 10/100mps before you start the installation of Windows 7.

  I have been in contact with the Nvidia customer service and got this response

  Hello:

  The information you received from Nvidia is incorrect.

  It is indeed a updated driver chipset from Nvidia, which updates the driver ethernet, you can upgrade to W7.

  W7 is not on the drop-down list for the download of the driver, but when you select Vista, it shows that the driver is also good for W7.

  Here it is... 32 bit...

• Pavilion p6120sc: Vista to Windows 7 upgrade: how to find the necessary drivers, etc.

  Cheap HP Experts, the Vista operating system in my Pavilion p6120sc must be upgraded to Windows 7. The compatibility test of Microsoft said that the current driver for my NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Mbps Ethernet is not valid in Windows 7. Therefore, I was advised to download the latest driver for this device in advance; but its installation should only be performed after the installation of Windows 7.

  Problem 1: what is the right driver for NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (i.e., valid in Windows 7), and where can I download safely to (without viruses etc.)?  -J' did an extensive search on Google but couldn't find an answer I could understand.

  Problem 2: The compatibility test also advised me to Uninstall Hardvarudiagnostikverktyg version 5.1.5144.16 (PC-Doctor, Inc.) before upgrading the computer to Windows 7. However, I couldn't find such a program in my PC! Therefore, How can I uninstall it properly? (Is this program might somehow hidden in the HP service package that performs the Test of full operation of my PC once a month? Moreover, would the HP package function test no more if this particular program have been eliminated?)

  You are the very welcome.

  You must install this driver before chipset update to W7, if you do an upgrade "in place", because the driver is good for W7 and Vista.

  If you make an own (custom) upgrade (not to keep all programs, files or settings), then you must install this driver after you upgrade to W7.

  All this driver will do is update the drivers for the motherboard and ethernet (the devices listed in the driver file page).

  Driver Ethernet (v73.14 +) tools for network management (v73.16) "Sedona" SATA IDE Driver (v11.1.0.33) WHQL SATA RAID Driver (v11.1.0.33) WHQL RAIDTOOL Application (v11.1.0.30) pilot SMBUS (v4.74) WHQL SMU (v1.71) driver driver WHQL of GPU (v190.38) Physx (v9.09.0428) WHQL Away Mode Driver (v6.0.6000.114) WHQL Installer (v7.57) WHQL.

  It shouldn't cause any device to stop working.

• Satellite A300 PSAG0A: Vista to XP downgrade question

  I just bought a Satellite A300 with the following details:

  Model satellite A300/Y00 (exclusive to Dikc Smith Electronics in Australia)
  PSAG0A-02Y009
  2.1 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo T8100
  2 GB RAM DDR2 (667 MHz)
  250 GB SATA HARD drive
  Graphics Intel X 3100 (GM965)
  MS Windows Vista Business pre installed
  MS WIndows XP downgrade for A300 recovery disk media

  Basically, I just turned on and configure everything, nothing about that fact yet, not even other software installed.
  I immediately made 2 copies of the recovery of the product for Vista media. So the disc XP and Vista should have all the drivers on them.

  I want to install a software particularly (for programming electronic components), but the company said that it is not fully compatible with Vista. Therefore, I would like to downgrade to XP and use it for 6 to 12 months, and later POSSIBLY roll back to Vista.

  Now, the information provided by Toshiba are limited with respect to the downgrading to XP. (And there is absolutely nothing about to go back to Vista).
  The documentation provided shows four options at retirement:
  1) recover to out-of-box-state,.
  (2) covers the single State of Windows,
  (3) recover without changing hard disk partitions,
  4) recover on a custom size partition. He then goes on to say "Please do not select 'Recover without changing the partitions of hard drive' as a method of recovery." Windows XP cannot be used by the composition of the partition of Windows Vista".

  First of all, what are the ramifications of the other options? What is the best/worst one and why?

  If I understand correctly, the partitioning of the hard drive must be changed for the downgrade to XP.
  But in Vista, there is a separate partition to store data recovery, so that the partition will be changed (lost).
  If ever I decide to go back to Vista, the Vista recovery media I created also change the partitioning to the way it was originally?

  I dared not touch anything until I'm 100% sure of what needs to be done.
  If anyone has any experience with this or advice, I would be grateful for your expertise.
  Feel free to be as detailed and technical that you like - I want to 'understand' and not just 'do '.

  Thanks in advance,
  Robert.

  Hi Robert

  I put t have Satellite A300 and I don t have an Australian notebook but I m, owner of another European model Satellite with preinstalled Vista operating system!
  In any case, I want to share my experience with Vista and XP and of course the recovery procedure on E

  First I noticed that the new notebook series is not delivered with the Toshiba Recovery CD but the image recovery is store on the HARD drive and you can create and burn image from own DVD.
  Seems that you already have.

  As you already suggested the Vista supports 2 different partitions. A partition is the system partition and the partition of the other, smaller, hidden was created for Vista backup files. So if something goes wrong with your Vista operating system, you can use the repair function on Vista to repair the operating system. In this case, small backup partitions, hidden in necessary.

  I also like Xp and that's why I installed it on my laptop. I didn't format t disc installed HARD but the XP on a new created partition.
  You can create a partition in Vista's disk management.
  In any case, I now have a dual boot OS and I use Vista and XP.

  With regard to the use of the Vista DVD recovery;
  If you want to go back to Vista, you will need to boot from the Toshiba Recovery CD and the Vista installation process should begin.
  But be aware that the Vista recovery CD would format the whole HARD drive.
  It would erase the partitions and remove stored data.
  Therefore, you must back up your data before that you would use the recovery CD!

  Hope this little info will help you.

  Good bye
