• Pavilion dv6-3177ee (XW119EA #ABV), BIOS: F.23 support UEFI (GPT partitioning)?

  Serial number: {removed privacy}
  Product name: HP Pavilion dv6-3177ee
  Product no.: XW119EA #ABV
  System BIOS: F.23 (Insyde) [diagnostic system (F2) supported]
  OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 6.1.7601
  SMBIOS 2.6

  This BIOS does support UEFI (TPG)?
  If the HD is partitioned to TPG, Windows 7 Home Premium can be reinstalled from the created under MBR recovery DVD?
  In the case of dual-boot, LINUX support the GPT?
  In addition, boot.ini could be tweaked to boot LINUX?

  If the HD is partitioned to TPG, Windows 7 Home Premium can be reinstalled from the created under MBR recovery DVD?

  HP recovery will erase the entire hard drive and restore it on an MBR disk and all the original scores, so no, it won't work.

  I do not know if this bios supports the start of TPG,

• Environment support UEFI HP or environment Support HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)

  You have a question. I have a laptop HP 2000-2b19wm. I bought this system. It came with Windows 8. After I got it I have completely got rid of Windows 8 and IMHO set level to Windows 7 Ultimate. I deleted all partitions and let 7 configure the hard disk the way he wanted, got the drivers and so on and so forth. (not worried about security, I can handel most hardware repairs and software patches).

  I looked to see if there was a new BIOS available and there was, however, I also noticed that there are two things called environment support UEFI HP and HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Support environment. I know they have to with the Diagnostics and recovery of a bad BIOS flash.

  The question is this. Install HP UEFI Support Environment or environment Support HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)?

  Thank you.

  Hi @bfldworker ,

  Thank you for your query.

  UEFI is preinstalled on your laptop.  It does not reside on the hard drive, so when you have formatted and installed Windows 7, it should not affect it.

  If you want to check this press the "F2" key shorten once every second on startup (before Windows loads) and he has to show the menu.

  I hope that this has answered your concerns.

• Update BIOS L430 UEFI 2.56 to 2.61 screen black

  Hi guys, been looking around for answers to this, but can not find it more precisely.

  System details:

  Lenovo Thinkpad L430 2466 3F1

  UEFI BIOS 2.56 installed

  120GB SSD installed when I bought (2nd hand but listed as 'new' - do not know how the image of the system has been installed for the SSD)

  I lived a lot of black blinking cursor problem when waking from sleep. This was addressed in 2.57 updated BIOS or UEFI 2.58 I think.

  I then started getting BSOD code 101 errors of clock. I read that was never solved by an update of the BIOS, otherwise faulty hardware. So, I looked in the BIOS update and a stress test.

  [EDIT] I tested the first processor software (Muessnor or a crazy name) of stress and monitor temperature with Speedfan. Temperatures never got above 75 degrees after 20 min of either small or large pieces/jobs/whatever they were. I read that a defective material was usually picked up in the first minutes of the race, but leave recommended it for 2 hours. Then I saw these processors running hot and cooling inventory systems are not too hot, so do not stress about this configuration test. So I took a compromise to 20 min each. Do all the no errors on the tests of 4-5. [/ EDIT]

  Now is the time to review updates to the BIOS. Lenovo has provided the software with the laptop, so I have updated this program and ran the udpater in VantageTools. Updated itself first of all, she offered me a BIOS update.

  Well, I created a system recovery disk and image of the system including system files and your data first, then closed all processes resembling processes system, disabled self-protection on Avast, shields disabled until the next reboot, process of GUI of Avast that ENDED, then allowed the BIOS update to proceed.

  I left after it restarts on the screen similar to BACK and said BIOS has 999 blocks and started moving dashed lines on the screen, expecting just continue until it has succeeded or failed.

  I came back 15 minutes later to a black screen. No cursor, only led power is green. I have heard no beep, even if I couldn't I was at the other end of the House.

  I read about a user of HP who has had this problem and support. They said to wait a few hours and see if it is finished. Called again, told to wait still. She completed successfully after a few 20hours. If you find that a link more but it is better to try this?

  Then I read about various combinations of keys (e.g., the comment by Ishaan here) to hold everything in startup, but I has not yet turned off.

  What would be more appropriate things for me to do then?

  So, I took the plunge based on this postand turned off. I then turned on, BIOS said worm 2.61 installed and Windows started. I rebooted, pressing F1, the installation program has been entered. Restarted, Windows starts again.

  Mission success, no idea why he gave the blackSOD strangely scary but...

  Problem solved.

• Legacy BIOS or UEFI

  Hi guys, I have a laptop HP G6-1336SA running Windows Pro 8.1 (with Media Center is of no relevance). I am aware, there are two versions of the BIOS available, legacy & UEFI, my question is what should I use? I currently have the latest version of the F.6A of BIOS Inysde and it is in "Legacy" mode, the standard I am led to believe.

  I would like to know the difference between the two modes of BIOS, which would be more effective on my system, the problems of changing mode (like having to delete everything and the product key may not be recognized as some claim) and how I would go about switching modes?

  Thank you for your time, it is greatly appreciated.

  (This laptop has Windows 7 pre-installed, I understand that it can make the difference)

  There is one type of the BIOS. Version F.6A is the newest BIOS available for your computer. The BIOS for this model supports UEFI, which is an extension of the BIOS firmware.

  As you describe, "Legacy" and "UEFI" refer to boot devices. In General, boot devices will divide into "Legacy" and "UEFI" with UEFI having precedence over the inheritance. UEFI allows the use of hard drive 3 TB for the boot device and is necessary for booting from a GPT-partitioned drive.

  There are no modes "BIOS" and no changes until Windows 8 has been installed at the factory on computer models of HP. At that time, a feature called 'Secure Boot' has been added which locks rogue malware mostly and some valid boot media. On these systems, the use of a feature called 'Legacy Support' disables "Secure Boot" and refers to the ability to boot from old valid media. Your computer most likely does not have these features.

  Please see on UEFI and the Boot Menu for more information.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Secure boot requires firmware which supports UEFI followed the v2.3.1 Errata B and has the authority of Certification Microsoft Windows in the base of signatures UEFI

  What does that mean? I want to upgrade to Windows 8 and it's what came when I bought the program online "secure boot requires firmware which supports UEFI followed v2.3.1 Errata B and has the authority of Certification Microsoft Windows in the UEFI signatures database... Thøis means that my laptop is not compatible? is there something I can do to fix it so I can get windows 8?

  Secure boot is a protocol feature not a Windows 8 of UEFI recent incidents made of PC/Laptop, etc. This is a feature implemented in the BIOS of a PC/laptop.

  Old PC do not have this in the setup of the BIOS, so it cannot be used.

  You have been informed that Secure Boot is not part of the BIOS, you may not use the feature.

  No have Secure Boot will not in any way affect the installation / execution of the W8.

  Here's a technical explanation of Secure Boot, read if you like:

• HP Pavilion 1053 does support UEFI?

  Hello

  Please, I would like to know if my pc HP PAVILION 1053 supports UEFI (win pro 64-bit), because:

  -In the bios, I have a menu called 'UEFI TOOLS',

  - But, on the page to download the drivers from the computer, here, there is nothing for the UEFI.

  If my pc supports UEFI, do I install the UEIF HP DIAGNOSTIC TOOL to make it work? Because now, when I click on the menu "UEFI", nothing happens.

  With kindness.

  Hello faroukal, from your description of the events that you are experiencing, they are all normal.

  The black screen with cursor blinking in the upper left corner is normal for all systems.

  It is when the BIOS/UEFI running control system of the operating system, which in your case is - this Windows 7 Pro.

  The UEFI functionality isn't actually the BIOS of old style, but a code of the firmware that is added to the BIOS. Legacy devices means that they are controlled by the UEFI and not the BIOS.

  You should see a section that you can use for the BIOS and not the UEFI, but I suggest letting the UFEI in the control of legacy devices. It's better that the BIOS control works.

  You should be able to locate the command of Start Menu in the BIOS. You should be able to select:

  UEFI boot sources

  Sources of boot legacy

  ATAPI CD-ROM

  Hard drive

  (WDC WD30000HLF-60G6U2)

  Network controller.

  This is just an example and would not be the exact options for your system.

• HP Envy m6 1125dx: how to upgrade the bios and uefi without a hard drive

  I can't install OS, including Windows 8.1 discs. After that I get so far along, installing Windows says there is no hard drive, but it's there!

  I see that my BIOS is outdated. When I download the new BIOS from hp.com, I get an executable file

  which of course does not work on a computer that does not start. I can't find the bios file when I run

  Quite true.

  See the image below.

  What is necessary to do is to extract the sp66782.exe file to a folder on the second computer.

  Rename A 018, 4. FD file to 018 has 4. BIN and save it to the root of the USB stick.

  Plug the key into a port on the computer laptop problem.

  Press the power button / stop the laptop and immediately press and hold the Windows key and the B key until the phone reacts and starts the BIOS recovery.

  If all goes well, that will recover the BIOS corrupted with the new copy which is on the flash drive.

  There is a detailed description of another method to do this on the thread of the forum according to 3rd party.

  Using this method will result in certain risks that you have to accept if you decide to follow this way to unbrick your laptop. Any update of the BIOS manually is risky.

  Hi there @fanhp,

  I went to your HP Pavilion dx6667cl laptop and the drivers Download Page PC software also, and you are right. The BIOS download file: sp39862.exe for Windows Vista is l58 A version. This version was the latest version was updated October 20, 2014, for your laptop. This should be the version you are using, because it is later.

  You happen to know how you're done with F.59? You download it somewhere? If your laptop works correctly when you use the F.59, I wouldn't worry too much about, however, if you have any questions, I would suggest that return you to the l58 a version to eliminate complications.

  The download description says "this package contains the WinFlash utility and a system of image of the BIOS for the notebook models and operating systems. The WinFlash utility is used to locally Flash system (ROM) BIOS on laptops running in a Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Vista Operating System environment. »

• Pavilion P6610f MV417AA #ABA: MODEL PAVILION P6610F BM417AA with ALVORIX-GL8E motherboard and AMD 785 chipset does support UEFI

  I just plugged a 4 TB WD external hard drive.  NOT too much computer.  NEED HELP!  The computer display as free of 3.63 to 3.63 TB properties.  It was just plug n play set up - I did nothing besides plug it.  I think that it is in the MBR format.  I really don't know about the MBR vs. GPT and how the drive must be formatted, but I understand that the motherboard must support UEFI if I change to TPG and I still want to add MBR for a starting System.  I'm so confused.  Help, please.

  Hello

  I see that your question is a question of HP.  Too much misleading information.
