Pavilion dv7-6195us lost drive D, but won an F drive after a blue screen stand

Today, I saw the dreaded after a udate Microsoft blue screen so I turned off and restarted and everything "seemed" fine until I noticed my "D" drive was now looking to drive "F". I see everything that was in my "D" drive has been changed on disk "F".

I did a "Restart" and then noticed that I didn't drive "D" or "F". I turned off the laptop via a software, restarted the computer and now have a drive "F".

No idea why this is happening? How can I get my drive "D" back (I have a number of programs that drive the "D" of source for data, while asssuring that I will lose everything that is now featured in my drive "F".

Thank you

Stan

Hi, Stan:

Only, you should be able to change the drive letter using disk management tool in windows 7.

See the link below for how to do this.

I don't think that changing the drive letter should have an effect on the files on that partition.

  • Pavilion DV7-6195us: reliable wireless connection

    It is of a Pavilion DV7-6195us. It connects wireless to a provided Comcast router/gateway. My connection drops randomly, and my solution was to click on the bottom wireless icon to the right of the taskbar, disconnect my network, wait 5 seconds and reconnect. It is successful in 90% of cases.

    I looked in Device Manager > network adapters and see: Intel Centrino Wireless n 1000 #2, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter #2, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport adapt #3 and Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.

    This laptop was bought second-hand from a guy who did the free update for Windows 10 without doing all the preparation work. I restarted it in Win 7, 64 bit. The laptop is starting in 2012 and I did the best I could to update the latest drivers, but trying to install the latest WiFi driver gave me the message that says that the driver installed is newer than the one I tried to install. The current version of the driver is 15.11.0.7 as of 1/26/2014(Intel Centrino). I don't know why it is a #2, and I do not know whence the Microsoft Virtual Miniport #2 and #3. Their versions of the drivers are identical and are dated from 2006.

    I wonder if they interfere with the Intel N 1000? Should I uninstall them? Is there a driver later for the Centrino N 1000 found somewhere other than to HP support site?

    My goal here is to stabilize my connection to my wireless router.

    My wife's cell phone is a Dell Inspiron which is located not far from where my laptop is, about the same distance from the router, and she has no problem connecting.

    Thank you.

    @skaler,

    Sorry, I sent the graphic driver not the network driver.

    Here is the link for Intel Wireless drivers for Microsoft Windows 7 Version 14.2 Rev A sp54841

    Again, I am sorry that I did.

  • Unable to boot to HARD drive or disc - blue screen Vista: 0 x 50 or 0x7E

    I can't start Vist from my drive hard or with the installation disc. Boot from the HARD drive gives a blue screen with the error 0x000007E code and boot from the drive allows me to launch the recovery program, but once I click NEXT for the first time, it goes to a blue screen with error code 0 x 0000050.

    I saw a lot of people have had these errors when the computer is running, however, I'm not able to start somehow, not even in safe mode, last known good configuration, etc.. I also tried to clear the CMOS with no luck.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    It starts very well when I got to work last night, but won't do a thing tonight.

    Hey Ross,

    Unplug all external devices (except keyboard and mouse) and check if it can boot up to the desktop in all modes.
    If this is not the case, contact the manufacturer of the system for more help.

  • Pavilion DV7-6195us: replacement keyboard on a Pavilion DV7-6195us

    I watched a couple videos on You Tube, but the Pavilion DV7 show is not the same as mine.

    I know that there are many varieties of entertainment DV7 laptops.  One of the videos shows the cover that surrounds the keyboard as rupture near the top corners left and right of the keyboard. Mine is solid from before backward, and has a border of lighted (illuminated) around the touchpad.

    My question: How can I ensure that the keyboard that I buy is good?

    There are a lot of keyboards for sale on ebay and amazon and the prices range from $ 17 to $ 51 +.

    If you know a video training here on the HP support site, please let me know.

    Thank you

    You have misunderstood me. I buy one on Amazon. My only fear is that even if they say that they provide one of their warehouses, other buyers have to wait 50 days or more.

    I've been waiting a ridiculous amount of time before, but it was through ebay, even if the seller claims a U.S. address.

  • Pavilion dv7-4285dx hard drive

    The hard drive on 2 years, Pavilion dv7-4285dx of my son is dead. It's a Samsung HM641JI, 640 GB, 5400 RPM. can anyone recommend a good replacement for this notebook drive? The new drive can we (GB) smaller than the original? Should I just stick with the same Samsung drive? Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.
    PS - I use the recovery discs just purchased from HP to restore the new drive.

    Hello

    You can use standard HDD from other providers. Nowadays people need more space, go for a larger HARD drive, it's a wise move. The recovery disc may not install on a smaller HARD disk because it will put your machine back to the factory settings.

    Kind regards.
