Pavilion dv6t-7000 failed to create a virtual hard drive for a dual boot Windows 7 / windows 8

Hi, I just bought this system, a Hp Pavilion dv6t-7000, Enterntainment CTO notebook PC.  I want to take the amount of space between the C drive and create a virtual hard disk.

Disk 0 is severed as follows:

System:

199 MB NTFS; Primary partition, Active system

C: 678.60 GB NTFS; Boot, page file, crash dump, primary Partition

D recovery: 21,53 Go NTFS; Healthy primary partition

HP_tools 108 MB Fat 32; Healthy primary partition

I would take 50 GB on C: and create a virtual hard disk to install windows 8 to have a dual boot system.  Can someone point me to a credible link that describes how do this or share the solution?  I tried a process described in TechRepublic where you create a virtual hard disk, and then start on Windows 8, shift f10 in an admin window and try to use diskpart select vdisk file that does not exist, that is to say, I'm not.

Is there anything else I need to do?  I can do this via disk management?

Thanks much for any info.

I found this process is here.

It seems similar to the process of the technology of the Republic, but it has a few key differences. Give the TechNet process a try it may work because of the extra steps, he has.

  • Pavilion p001tx 3rd Gen: keyboard changes upgrade and hard drive for HP pavilion P001tx 3rd gen

    Dear HP,

    I am former HP employee worked for many years and big fan of HP.

    I bought the HP Pavilion P001tx in November 2014.

    question;

    1. can you exchange or upgrade from keypad with backlight one?

    2. can we exchange or upgrade the Normal Hard Disk 1 TB with SSHD 1 TB keyboard?

    WebCam is too dull...

    Thank you.

    You misunderstand my role here. I do not work for HP and I'm not the order desk. I am a user final companions. The laptop has a program backup and restore installed where you can make the recovery discs or a USB key to reinstall the software factory on a new hard drive or SSD SSHD.

    You will have to find a SSHD and will make install. HP does not offer that service and I also do not, of course. It can affect your warranty. If you let us know your country of residence, we can find a good deal on the parts you want.

  • Install WD Black2 Dual Drive on a Pavilion dv6t-7000

    Hello

    I recently bought a new internal hard drive for my HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC and have some difficulties to install the drivers for it. I bought a Western Digital Black2 Dual disc, which is a hybrid disk with 120 GB SSD and 1 TB of HARD drive, but I can't access the 1 TB because the installer for WD drivers keeps returning an error code.

    After much digging, I found documentation of the WD site that States the particualr error I received was due to one) the SATA mode to RAID in the BIOS, or b) an Intel driver a RAID reporting configuration. I can not check the BIOS settings myself, because the tab in the BIOS for this is hidden and locked down due to the fact that I'm working on a laptop of HP (I found answers on the forums for models with slightly different laptop computer that reported the AHCI is the default SATA for HP laptops) (, but unable to verify for my particular model). However, I was able to find an Intel driver that can cause the problem in the Device Manager. It is listed under 'Storage controllers' and is called 'Intel(r) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID Controller '. When you contact the service customer of WD, the representative has tried to help me change this default Microsoft Inbox Driver by following the process: (right click > update driver software > Browse my computer... > choose from the list of device drivers). Unfortunately, it was not useful because the afforementioned Intel driver is the only one available. I was a bit puzzled by that because I installed windows 7 from scratch, only adding the drivers from the HP site needed to establish a wireless connection to download the installation of WD software.

    So basically I'm looking for help in these areas: a) to determine the particular my laptop model SATA mode, b) to understand why I have the default Microsoft Inbox Driver, c) installation of the Microsoft Inbox Driver default value or a Variant that works with AHCI, and/or d) any other course of action I could take additional troubleshooting.

    Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (installation costs)

    Laptop model: HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

    Hard disk: Western Digital Black2 Dual Drive

    Error: A bad SATA mode in the BIOS or reported by the Intel driver

    Pilot suspect: Intel(r) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID Controller

  • Cannot open my virtual hard drive

    I tried to create a virtual hard drive, so that I can view and edit files from my backup of Windows from my hard drive.  I have a 'new virtual machine' installed, but when I opened this program, I get this message.  "No startup disk is specified. Although you can still boot from a floppy disk, it is recommended that you specify a startup disk. "I guess my question is" what? "No, seriously, how can I specify a startup disk?  And what start up disc can I specify?  And why is it so freaking hard?

I can't find a way to access my external hard drive with the Virtual Machine.  My external drive appears in Windows Explorer on the virtual computer.  Cannot get to recognize the external hard drive.  Any suggestions?

  • Dual Boot windows Linux 8.1 on Pavilion 17-e157eo

    Will there be a completely safe way for a dual-boot Windows 8.1 and Linux on a Pavilion 17-e157eo?

    I searched the dualboot topics, but solutions do not seem to apply in this case.  Secure boot has been disabled. Quick start has been disabled. In this PC disk partitions are not dynamic but simple.

    Starting from a Live Linux DVD results in a blank screen even if the DVD player is clearly read something.  Is the problem due to the fact that this PC has the INTEL 4600 graphics chip and an AMD Radeon 8670 M?

    A better solution would be to use VMware or VirtualBox, set up a Linux guest operating system, the host system is of course Windows 8.1?

    No problem, glad I could help. If you could mark one of my posts with an acceptable Solution and congratulations if this information was useful, it would be much appreciated and it would be useful to other institutions. Thank you and have a great day!

  • Key Action WiFi does NOT work on Pavilion DV6t-7000

    I just got a new Pavilion DV6t-7000 Quad Edition laptop, and the first thing I did after I boot the system was to upgrade the operating system.  I have an MSDN subscription, so I've upgraded to Windows 8 Pro (RTM).  Everything is great... except for the WiFi button.  It does simply not to turn on or turn off the WiFi connection.

    It always shows a white LED while the WiFi is on, and pressing the button does nothing.  Other action keys may work... the brightness, mute audio, etc.  If I disable the WiFi in the network Panel, then the light turns red.  As if she recognizes the WiFi it's takes no action to actually turn on or turn it off.

    I updated the BIOS to the latest version, by the site of HP support for the 64 bit of Windows 8 OS, and I checked in the BIOS action keys are enabled.

    Can someone help me get this to work?

    Thank you!

    Have you tested it before loading Windows 8 on it?

    Support of thing going before interview, that Windows 8 drivers are available or not, is to perform a recovery to the original embedded operating system.

    If it is a fault, the question would be present in the original Windows 7 operating system as well. I suspect that this is largely a software/driver problem.

    Also, I recommend the update to the BIOS before installing Windows 8. Windows 8 installations work differently with the BIOS that previous versions of Windows, so the end result would be different to reinstall Windows 8 from the version of the BIOS is different this time.

    However, I recommend he get back to Windows 7 in order to ensure all features is present.

    I know you probably don't want to go back in the recovery efforts there to Windows 7 and then put 8 on.

    By chance, you did the recovery disks for your system first? If this is not the case, they must be ordered from HP. You can try to use the Recovery Manager to create, but I don't know if it will work since the operating system has been modified.

    In all cases, whether it works or not with the original software, she shipped will help determine if it is a defect or not. More than likely, it is not and is only a matter of unfortunate compatibility with Windows 8.

  • HP Pavilion dv6t-7000: Ralink RT5390R wireless adapter does not connect to 802.11n network

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6t-7000, equipped with the Ralink RT5390R wireless adapter.  For the life of me, I can't get it to connect to my home network when implemented as 802.11n.  They connect other devices. If I change my router 802.11 g, but no other change, doe HP connect. But if I return the router to 802.11n, HP sees the network, and it correctly identifies as a 802.11n network, but does not connect.

    The router is a D - Link DIR-615 (N300 2.4 ghz)

    All this experience? All solutions?

    Woo-Hoo.

    Found a solution.  Both HP and windows said I had the most current drivers, but this HP forum had a link to a newer driver.  Installed and it worked.

    My laptop model number is Pavilion dv6t 7000. In recent days, he had a problem. When I turned off my laptop and put it off, the next day I find that is not starting. A black screen, caps lock shift is blicking twice and f12 key is red (WIFI). Nothigs happen. Then, I searched and came to know that it is the failure of the bios. Then I tried some way and nothings worked. ATLAST when I remove the cmos battery it set again after 2 or 1 minute its starts fine. Then againg I turn off the computer and its power day following again the same problem. I was to solve this problem by removing cmos battery and put it again for 4 or 5 days. But today this tip does not work. I tried so many method like (Windows key + B), (byholding down the power button for 1 minute), (Flash UEFI) etc. to solve the problem of failure of the bios, nothing worked at all. What is the problem?  Is this really a failure of the bios? How can solve this problem? What is a dangerous problem? There the chances that my laptop is completely exhausted?
