• Pavilion dm4-3090se: how to use the SSD after restoration of the system of Windows backup disks?

  Hello

  After a lot of work, I finally could restore my OS using Windows backup disks that I created a few years back. (The OS has been corrupted when the power has been accidentally deleted from the system and the battery was dead)

  Restoring backup widows put everything on 444 GB C drive.  Nothing I put on the SSD drive d:-20 GB and there is nothing in the tools of HP E: drive - 4 GB

  How can I make use of the SSD drive to help speed up the system?  I see the system starts and runs more slowly now.  I'm ready to blow the current operating system and re-run the Windows backup utility.  But I need to know how to use the SSD during the restoration.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Bob

  Hey @llebrez,
  
  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! This is a great place to find solutions and help our community!

  I understand that you have some information about using the SSD in your HP Pavilion dm4 Beats Edition Entertainment Notebook. I'd be happy to help you with that.

  The SSD in your laptop is used for a technology called Intel Smart Response. Intel Smart Response uses the SSD as a type of Cache smart to help load the items faster. The reason why that is not used currently is because the restoration of the system is not designed to use the SSD for intelligent caching and is not able to establish that on its own.

  If you want to configure Intelligent caching on your laptop, you can follow this guide provided by overclock.net: how: implement the Intel Smart Response Technology (SSD caching)

  I hope this helps. If you have more questions that I'm able to answer for you, please do not hesitate to ask.

  Please hold me.

  See you soon.

• Perform a restore of the system partition

  Okay, I need some help here! I'm trying to clean up old e-system laptop, 3213 M430 CPU daughter, 1 GB RAM, 40 GB HARD drive to pass it on to his brother. It's over the years, the system got clogged and need of resettlement carried out to clean it.

  I'm having is, she never performed any restore points and never made a recovery disk! Tried to do a software disc using TechGuys, but he says Power2Go not loaded. Software loaded but product key on the underside of the laptop and can no longer be read!

  Therefore impossible to create the recovery disk, then after having a second account (just in case something goes wrong with the original), I tried to start a destructive restore loaded partition (wipe it clean and start again from fees)

  Start using F8, select system repair wait a while starts to Vista loading screen then get a screen asking 'another user '! Now what should I do? Don't know what the other user, only thought that there were two accounts on the system. Daughter doesn't remember all accounts created on this subject, can not find any reference to the "Other user" screen in the manual.

  Anyone have any idea what this means and what I am supposed to do next please? As I have things left to try now. Fingers crossed someone understands what I mean and how to go beyond that. Maybe I'm coming to this from the wrong angle and there is an easier way to clean the machine. If you please feel free to advise me.

  Kind regards

• After you perform a restore, Bing apps are now gone and appear in "all apps" in the store under a profile that I can't access.

  Original title: Windows 8 Bing apps not available in the Microsoft account

  My problem is that my Bing Apps.
  I have upgraded to Windows 8 Pro 7 without problem. I ran the application Bing weather and asked that he finds my location - it was more than 100 miles on. I couldn't remove it then uninstalled the app hoping I could reinstall, but couldn't figure out how.
  Then I did something obviously stupid, that I did a restore. I thought that by 'all the apps' WIndows 8 did not have programs, but it does of course (a slight rewrite would make that more clear for those of us who do identify not all apps as including programs).
  OK, I had to reinstall programs, a nuisance, but that's all. However, all my Bing apps are now gone.
  They appear in "all apps" in the store, but under profile DOUGW-PC (the name of my PC) I can't access. I can't find a way to install them on the only account I can access.  And I paid directly for a couple of them.
  Not a good general experience despite the fact that the upgrade went well.
  Doug

  This has happened to all of my Apps - those who came with Windows and those that are installed on the APP store. The convenience store showed no problems. Reinstall does not help and I could not uninstall, as they were not available.
  However, I found a solution - a real uninstall instead of the uninstall normally, using a PowerShell script: http://www.howtogeek.com/138752/use-powershell-to-remove-multiple-modern-apps-from-windows-8/ I managed to uninstall those I wanted to use, and this time when I reinstalled the they all revealed in the tiles of departure.

  I wish that Microsoft could understand that when they say that this update will remove all applications from other web pages that they are actually referring to what Microsoft has used to call programs. I thought apps were talking apps such as hear normally.
  Thanks for the reply though.

• I can't perform a restore of the system after the removal of the admin account?

  Original title: admin deleted, now impossible to restore

  I bought my laptop from my work for personal use and remove the admin users. When you try to download anything it gives me an error now, "the requested operation requires an elevation" when I put my user name and password. How can I solve this problem? Can't even do a restore without credentials. When I looked at the accounts, mine is the only one listed. Is there another way I can find out what is the admin account? My work told me a few options for the password, but was not really sure because they put in place so long ago.

  Remove the admin account amounted to throw away the key of your safe. A better idea would have been to create and test an alternative admin account. Here's how you can recover from this disaster:

  1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
  3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
  4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  7. Configure Windows to a point before you deleted the admin account.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• Missing files to user in Start menu - > all programs

  I recently found a folder "Programs" in my "All programs" folder in my Start menu. This folder contained essentially all my custom folders as well as the default folders and icons to the start menu. Because I thought it was a duplicate, I decided to remove it and then realized what he deleted all files recently opened and all my custom folders (apps, games, programming etc.).

  I still all files windows vista Home premium and icons, but nothing else. I searched the Internet and tried all of the suggestions that I could find (check the registry, restoring files, searching for missing files, ensuring that the Program Files folders are not hidden from program data/Menu start) and nothing seems to have solved the problem. Is there a way I can back my folder structure for programs on the start menu? I checked the system restore, but I have not activated. Unfortunately, I did this in the middle of the tent to free as much space as possible so I deleted shadow copies of my drive, as well as everything in the trash.

  Is there any chance of the folder structure is always on the PC but just inaccessible? I'd rather spend on it from this angle instead of having to reinstall all applications in order to hand over the files of shortcut in the Start Menu-> all programs.

  Here is the procedure; http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/79571-start-menu-shortcuts.html.  Do this for all users.  Note that this will only restore the shortcuts.  If the programs themselves have been deleted, they will have to be resettled.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck.

• Pin a network to the start menu shortcut

  Everyone figured out how to pin a netwrok to the start menu shortcut?  I tried to do it the way they say it, right click and select PIN to start menu, but the option is not there for programs on the network.  I was able to find Documents and Settings/User/StartMenu and I dropped the military in there, but they are not yet appearing on the start menu.  Help, please.
  Thank you
  Jessica

  Create a folder on your desktop called networking programs or files, and then drag the icons for the files or programs in there.  You can then create a new toolbar by right-clicking on the taskbar, go to toolbars and add the new toolbar.  From there, all just point to your folder on your desktop and the appropriate files will appear in your taskbar tasks.  It's not pretty, but it works.

  Hello Colonel,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  Click here for an article on the removal of Webroot Antivirus. There is not a separate for Windows 7, so I follow that for Windows Vista.

• After using a third party partition manager program left to extend my Windows 8 partition, the system of Windows 8 start to a black screen and Windows 8 partition of the drive letter has changed

  Original title: problems of Windows 8

  I have Windows 7 (32 bit) and Windows 8 (64-bit) is installed in a dual boot. I tried to extend the partition of Windows 8 with a third party partition manager. Subsequently, I restarted after having learned so much.

  Later, the first thing I saw was that the locked screen image is replaced by a blue color. Photos of the user are also missing. Once connected, it took a long time for windows everything ready, and I'm stuck in a black screen with the mouse pointer.

  I entered in Safe Mode and found that the drive for Windows 8 letter has been changed (C: = Windows 7;) D: = recovery partition; E: = Windows 8, new drive letter; F: = Windows 8, old drive letter), I tried to change the drive letter, but it does not work.

  Partition of Windows 7 works well (it is what I currently use to put this problem), and I can access the data in the partition of Windows 8. I tried the methods of different repair without result (such as chkdsk and sfc/scannow).

  Can someone help me with this please? Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  I understand that you have a problem of black screen with Windows 8 and the drive letter for the partition of Windows 8 is also changed. This problem is due to the use of the third party partition manager program because it affects the registry files and causes the instability of the system.

  Try to run auto repair from the Windows recovery environment and check if that helps.

  Method 1: start the recovery environment with installation of Windows 8 media.

  It is another way to boot the PC and launch recovery tools when something goes wrong with the operating system.

  Please follow the steps below. Insert the DVD to install Windows 8 on DVD-ROM and restart your computer.

  (a) once you start your computer by using the Windows DVD or the system repair disc, a black screen is displayed with the gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press a button on any.

  (b) select the good time and the type of keyboard .

  (c) click on repair your computer in the lower left corner.

  (d) select Troubleshooting to Choose an option screen.

  (e) click on advanced options in Troubleshooting screen.

  (f) click Auto repair of Advanced Options screen.

  (g) following, choose the operating system by clicking on its button.

  (h) Windows 8 will be looking for problems on the hard drives and verify that all required files are intact.

  
  Method 2: Run the restoration of the system of the Advanced Options screen.
  
  System Restore to restore your computer to a previous state, quickly and easily without losing any of your files and personal settings. Sometimes when you install programs or drivers, they can affect some system settings and prevent other programs to function properly. You can use system restore to restore these settings to their previous state

  Follow these steps:

  (a) once you start your computer by using the Windows DVD or the system repair disc, a black screen is displayed with the gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press a button on any.

  (b) select the good time and the type of keyboard .

  (c) click on repair your computer in the lower left corner.

  (d) select Troubleshooting from the Choose an option screen.

  (e) click on advanced options in Troubleshooting screen.

  (f) select System restore.

  After the system restore your documents and files will always remain to their previous state.

  If you do not install Windows 8 media, I suggest you connect to any other computer and create a floppy disk to install Windows 8. Using this disk, you can run the troubleshooting provided methods.
  
  How to create the installation media for a PC refresh or reset:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

  You can also try the same steps using the bootable USB key. You must select USB as the first boot to the BIOS device.

  Note: Microsoft don't recommend any third-party partition manager program because it corrupts the registry files and cause the instability of the system.
