• Pavilion Elite HPE-170F recovery problem

  I woke up yesterday to a problem of blue screen on my Windows 7 Pavilion Elite HPE-170F.  Following reboot, but would end up the same way.  Tried to boot mode without failure, but same result.  A technician came to the House and he did Diagnostics with its test disc that says the HD had to be replaced.  I had my recovery disks that I made when I bought the computer 4 years, which made her happy.  He installed the new HD and put the old in another location, planning to transfer my files after the restore.  He began the process of recovery with disk 1 and told me to change the disks as needed while he went to see another client.  All done and then it entered into startup mode of windows. went black for a while and then gave me the message "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on hardware.  The technician returned and tried other things but the same results.  We ordered a new series of HP recovery disks but will take a week.  The question, since the instructions say to disconnect everything except the monitor, keyboard, and mouse, would be the printer that is wireless a problem and should it be turned off?  Also, the mouse and the keyboard are different than the original, which would be a problem.  In addition, Windows installed several updates of the day before the problem.

  I venture a guess the your computer uses an Intel chipset, can be set to "RAID", and the replacement of the hard disk is a disk AF (Advanced Format). Please see desktop HP - can not recover the PC after replacing the Hard Drive with an AF Drive (Windows 7 and Vista) for more information on this topic. Please see computers HP-HP System Recovery troubleshooting (Windows 7) for more information on the AF drives and some troubleshooting tips.

  Alternatively, if you can still read the Windows product key of 25 characters on the COA Microsoft attached to your computer, you can install Windows 7 using this key. Please see "how to install Windows 7 without the disc" to get instructions on how to download Windows 7, create the installation media and install Windows 7 using the product key 25 character of the COA Microsoft on your computer. Using this method will not install HP customizations or value-added software and you will have to manually install all necessary drivers.

• Hp pavilion elite hpe-570f system recovery question

  I'm having all sorts of problems trying to do a reinstall my hp pavilion elite hpe-570f system. I'm trying to use the recovery partition. I can get to options and don't start the process, no problem. He has even reformat the hard drive. The problem arises when relocation of the factory software. Usually, it hangs at 1% until the screen loses the signal and that's it. I have disconnecged everything - including the usb keyboard and mouse on the last attempt - but the most I ever got was 35% before the screen loses the signal and nothing else happens. I thought that if I left him alone, he would install completely, but this last time I left for almost 4 days and still not install. Advice?

  Given that it was me that pisses off the coast, I purchased a retail version of windows 7 unlimited and tried. The same problem. Bought a new motherboard - and the case since the case of HP is designed to put another issue - and he moved very well. Have not had any problems of video card. It seems therefore that the cause of this whole ordeal was the motherboard.

• Pavilion Elite HPE 450 t PC: desktop computer will not be updated for windows 7 64, Microsoft tried without success.

  I have a PC Pavilion Elite HPE 450 t, and a few months ago he ceased to accept automatic updates from Microsoft downloads.

  I tried to use the tools that Microsoft has nothing helped.

  Some time after, my Norton Security software security suite failed and wouldn't charge.  Norton failed to find a solution.  I guess it must do something with the heavy backlog of unloaded updates.

  ? Is it possible to load windows 10 on win 7?

  I got my PC tested for viruses, root kits and it is clean, but updates are still not loading.

  Honestly, I'd appreciate any help that you folk can provide.  Thanks in advance

  Hi there @LROSZKOW,

  I hope you find your experience of positive Support Forum! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you have had problems with the updates of Windows and want to know if you can upgrade to Windows 10. I'm happy to help you with this.

  Reading the questions you have described in your current system that you cannot upgrade to Windows 10, using the normal method of free upgrade. Your system should have the option available from a previous update of Windows, as the free update is delivered via Windows update. If you have a Windows 7 or 8.1 product key, then you could do a clean install of Windows 10 and use this key to activate your Windows 10 free documents. Of course, you want to first make a backup of your data.

  Another option would be to try to load the original image from the desktop computer, and then try to update again by using Windows Update. This assumes you have a working recovery partition or recovery media. Computers HP - performing a recovery of system HP (Windows 7)  But to protect your data, you want to make a first backup as I mentioned.

  Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

• Pavilion Elite m9600t: OS reinstall for HD "Advanced format" on Windows Vista

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9600t desktop provided with Windows Vista. Recently my 640 GB Hitachi hard drive gone bad. I ordered a new one (Seagate 1 TB), installed and tried to reinstall the Vista operating system with the provided HP Vista recovery disks.

  During installation, the following message appeared: "installation of Windows could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer." I did research and found this happens on Vista with discs advanced formatting (AF). My new record is AF.

  I have read some threads on the forum of HP who say that you can always do the operating system installed, but you have to do by creating a new disc of installation with your product key, and then mix a partitioning in there. I'm confused on where to find the ISO files for Vista (64-bit SP1), as well as how to partition before installing the operating system, and which must be partitioned.

  I have a drive to upgrade Vista to Windows 7, but I can't use it until Vista is installed. Is there a way I can ignore the Vista installation process and move to Windows 7? Who could help me to avoid the issue of the AF.

  Thank you!

  Hello:

  You can check this link to know how to clean your drive of W7 upgrade installation.  I assume you have the W7 upgrade of the key product that will be necessary.

  http://helpdeskgeek.com/Windows-7/clean-install-Windows-7-using-an-upgrade-disc/

  Another thing you can try, is to format your new drive to NTFS MBR and get rid of the advanced formatting.

  You can use this disk management software and create a bootable CD, and if everything goes well after you format the disc as it was supposed to be for your PC, you can use the recovery discs if the clean install from a disk upgrade W7 does not (because of the problem of the AF).

• Adding a 3rd HARD drive to my Pavilion elite m9150f

  I have a Pavilion Elite m9150f with a motherboard Asus IPIBL-LB. I have 6 sata ports, but only 4 are currently used. It has Vista Home Premium 32-bit running 2 HARD sata drive seagate 360 with a partion recovery and 2 CD/DVD players. I would add a Seagate 2 TB sata as main drive (C) both a bigger partion (posibly update of OS in the future) 20 to 25 GB for recovery (D) copied to starting from the origanal and reformat it as a temp for videos, etc. I can do this by moving the SATAS after the cloneing and move the optical drives and see MOBO them without having to make all kinds of changes to the BIOS. Thanks for any advice in doing so.

  Hello

  If you have already two drives hard and two optical drives, then you will have a hard time to find a place inside the PC to secure the third hard disk.

  You could try to use a 5.25 "to 3.5 adapter railsand then fix them and the hard drive down inside the PC. Another option would be to expand the two ports of the vacant motherboard to the I/O back plateand use a drive external eSATA dockthat could accommodate two hard disks that are either 2.5 "or 3.5" or a combination. That would give you great flexibility for the exchange of different hard drives while appearing that they are installed in their own country.

  You should be able to use a hard drive imaging product to the new hard drive the current boot drive. If you use VISTA then I would avoid using a disc hard format model advanced unless you know for sure that the disc produced Imaging align correctly partitions. In any case, if you use VISTA then upgrade to service pack 2 and run this update Intel utility before you install the new hard drive. Utility update driver Intel Intel Driver Update Utility level Bios 5.43is the latest bios for your PC.

  I use Paragon Hard Disk Manager Suite(eval copy) to make the imagery of my hard drive, but there are other products available. Macrium Reflectand Acronis are also good products.

• HP wireless keyboard from 2.4 GHz on the HP Pavilion Elite 083 Volume controls does not not in Windows 8

  I have a HP 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard on a desktop HP Pavilion Elite 083 UK:

  Model KG-08510 rev 1.1

  Product #ABU KZ256AA number

  Part number 505143-031

  .. Since the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro to Windows 7 Home Premium, I have problems with getting control of Volume +, - and disable keys on the keyboard to work reliably in Windows 8 Pro.

  In summary, the symptom is that when I start the PC from a start-up to cold which is a full power down of the State of the volume on the keyboard controls do not work.

  However, if I unplug and re - plug the USB wireless receiver that came the keyboard on the PC then on the keyboard volume controls begin to work again.

  I tried the following things to try to solve this problem:

  -Made a lot of new installation of Windows 8 i.e. reformatting the hard drive (no recovery) and fresh install Windows 8 on a blank hard drive.

  -Installation of Microsoft Windows all the updates available for the machine.

  -Manually install drivers wireless keyboard on the site of HP driver for my computer HP Pavilion Elite 083uk (this allows the screen display on to CapsLock and numlock which works reliably every time that I start).

  -Disable 'fast start up' in Windows 8 power settings

  -Using different USB ports on the back of the machine

  This question is re-producable each time and the keyboard volume buttons work fine even from boot cold when I was running Windows 7.

  I think that I have now found a solution / workaround to solve this case no matter who is interested.

  1. download and install the Microsoft "DevCon" tool that provides an interface to command line for Device Manager.

  Download and installation instructions are here:

  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/182.how-to-obtain-the-current-version-of-device-console-utility-DevCon-exe.aspx

  2. create a Windows scheduled task with "highest privileges" that works on logon that issues the following command:

  DevCon restart 'HID\VID_03F0 & PID_0862 & REV_0105 & MI_01 & Col02'

  This restarts "HID-compliant consumer control device" that is listed in my device manager which is middle for the proper functioning of the volume control and mute buttons on the keyboard (keyboard functionality is via a separate driver which is not affected).

  NB. you need to replace ""HID\VID_03F0 & PID_0862 & REV_0105 & MI_01 & Col02"with whatever hardware ID is listed in the device for that Manager.»

  3. If the above does not work, then you must create a scheduled task to run a batch file with the following:

  DevCon disable 'HID\VID_03F0 & PID_0862 & REV_0105 & MI_01 & Col02'

  DevCon enable 'HID\VID_03F0 & PID_0862 & REV_0105 & MI_01 & Col02'

• HP Pavilion Elite m9402f PC reformat

  Hello.

  Can someone tell me how to reformat my computer?

  I just want to erase all data that could possibly have virus in there, but I don't want to lose the software such as Adobe, Micrsoft windows and etc, I installed.

  Your help would be much appreciated!

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion Elite m9402f. According to the specification, this model at the factory with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit install. Modern computers, including HP, have a recovery partition and a Windows-based utility that allows you to create recovery discs. I suggest that to use the HP recovery discs, you created when you first set up your computer, send it back to a factory State. If you do not create theses discs, you can be able to recovery your computer using the HP recovery within the window or 'F11' Manager when turn on/off your computer. Please see this HP support document entitled "Perform a recovery of the HP (Windows Vista) system" for detailed instructions on the recovery of your computer.

• HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 500f D: SSD replacement for HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f to original desktop PC hard drive

  Hi all!

  I would like to replace the original hard drive came with my desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f with an SSD, but when I tried, I got the error message that my SSD drive was not big enough. The original hard drive is 1.35 TB. What size an SSD should be to replace the original CT 1.35 supplied with my HP so that I could use the 1.35 disc as my second drive and the ssd as my main drive?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Yes I think a 240 GB SSD would be sufficient.  Using the hard drive for storage is a good idea.

  These articles HOWTO HP should be useful.

  You should be able to install the SSD in the existing hard drive cage as it is put into service for three hard drives.  Use a 2.5 "to 3.5" adapter.  You also need a SATA data cable.

  Don't forget to create the external recovery media and backup your data.

  If you post them details of the device string ID for each device in the Details tab in XP, I can send you the link for the drivers.

  For now, I can send pilots based on the material in the manual, and if your PC has different hardware, so I could waste your time and mine.

  Always install the first chipset driver:

  http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=20019&ProdId=2842&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%20XP * & DownloadType=.

  This should be your integrated graphics driver:

• HP Pavilion Elite e9220y PC, black screen with blinking underscore.

  Hello. I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9220y with Windows 7. I have a black screen with a flashing underscore.

  I stood and went to the bathroom and came back to this (on fiance mobile atm). If I go, I can do ctrl + alt + delete and get everything except the system recovery... so I made a recovery CD.

  In the recovery CD, I get the options to
  Startup Repair
  System restore
  System Image recovery

  Windows Memory Diagnostic
  Command prompt.

  I have everything but my mouse, screen and keyboard connected. No CD in except for the recovery CD.

  Startup Repair found nothing, so I tried to restore the system... He said it restored to an earlier date, but I get the same screen and the same options... So I tried the following steps:

  Boot from the new rescue CD, select repair your computer and choose the command line. When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

  Bootrec.exe

  bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

  c:

  Boot CD

  BCD attrib s h - r

  Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

  Bootrec /RebuildBcd

  Bootrec /fixmbr

  Bootrec /fixboot

  Remove the rescue CD and try to restart now.

  Above always leads to have the black screen with the underscore flashing with the same options available... I'm so lost...

  If possible, I'd like to back up my files I have. I have plans on my computer that I spent working long hours and lots of family photos. BUT if this is not possible (I have not access to a second round to save the files), then I'm more than willing to start again... I want to just that my computer back... I have not even had it for three years yet.

  So any help to get back on the rails would be greatly appreciated... Thank you in advance.

  
  

• Windows will not install on the new drive for HP Pavilion Elite m9510f

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9510f operation with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP1 and with a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 HDD of 750 GB.

  The HARD drive broke down a few weeks ago and is unrecoverable.

  I bought Seagate 1 TB hard drive to replace the 750Go again and used the HP recovery discs provided by HP to wipe the disk and reinstall Windows on it.

  I can run all the recovery discs 3 without problem, the computer goes through its paces to reinstall Windows and all of a sudden, the computer stops and I get the message "installing Windows could not configure Windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

  What is happening with this?  I use a HARD drive with recovery disks provided by HP.

  HARD drive replacement need to be 750Go like the original?

  Any help would be appreciated

  Probably a problem with the hard drive being the new type of AF. Windows 7 with SP1 should work better than Vista... but your Vista key will not work with ISO download linked above.

• No connection Ethernet - Pavilion Elite M9280F

  Hello

  I got a new Pavilion Elite M9280F (KJ380AAR), but I can't any signal Ethernet no matter, I've tried since I bought it.
  I have Verizon DSL. I connected the new PC with Ethernet cable to the modem (Verizon Weastell 6100) directly with any other router.

  I called HP and Verizon supports several times, once again the test runned much and yet once again, uninstall/reinstall, system recovery, power cables, switch etc... After hours, they told me that the NIC in the PC does not work. And I had already sent my PC to the HP service center to be fixed to 3 times (same question, without result).
   
  Well, frankly, HP could not find something wrong on it. I even had someone repair center called me and he said that they tested the PC for 2 hours, that everything is fine and also could run DSL via Ethernet in their very good network cable.

  Westall 6100 (modem/router) works flawlessly. I tried to reset it.
  Driver/network adapter shows fine in Device Manager.
  I tried different cables (cat5) Ethernet.

  I don't have a wireless setup.

  Ethernet port LED is not lit.
  ipconfig/all shows "Media disconnected."

  In the meantime, I always can get online using my old PC WinXP without any problem (same configuration with ethernet cable, plug-and-play).

  It's really frustrating, any help would be much appreciated.

  I don't think you are going to use the dial-up modem. Just pull out and use this location. Your just try anyway. There is no use keeping the card if it doesn't. You can return it.

  I'm just a person like you and offering my time and advice. If you need help from HP, you will need to contact them.
