Pavilion dv7-7064ea: Hard laptop computer reset deleted OS

Hi all

Yesterday I tried to use my laptop, how it froze and I had to force him to stop. After several vain attempts to put it on again, it gave me the error message that it held no boot device.

Research on the HP site, I saw that they recommend a hard reset, which I did. However, now when I turn on the laptop he asks me to install an operating system.

I have a repair disc, but I have no image system for my own laptop that I can use for the restoration (I backed up my files). I tried to use my brother's laptop system image (we have the same model), but my laptop it would not recognize external hard disk on which it is registered.

Does anyone know how I could get my OS back without buying a new installation disc?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Additional info in the case, it is relevant:

Laptop was purchased in summer 2012

Upgrade to Windows 7-summer 10 2015

Have had no problems with Windows 10 so far

Hello

So you have a backup of your personal data, I wouldn't worry about retaining the existing partitions and just convert the reader into a guid partition table - recovery won't work anyway after a clean install, system will be replaced by efi and HP_TOOLS can only be downloaded again.

If the existing HARD disk has a mbr partition style, you can convert this to a table of partition guid (gpt) as follows.

Open an command prompt- Option 1

Enter the following information, hit return after each entry.

DiskPart

list disk

Assuming that there is only 1 HDD installed then enter

Select disk 0

clean

convert a GPT

When did the type exit and press to enter.

Re-run the installation of Windows 10.

Kind regards

  • 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.

  • Pavilion dv7, 1016nr: hard drive card on HP laptop Toshiba

    I had a HP used off craigslist, because my Toshiba laptop crashed. I replaced the hard drive with the Toshiba, but now, the CPU it's again a Toshiba! He's trying to look for records that do not exist, the bitrate is mixed up, and I can't do certain things because of this!

    The operating system was the Toshiba, and I don't know what specifications are contained in the hard disk. Help, please!

    I know, but the problem is the hard disk that came with it is FULL of viruses, and I don't want to connect two of them in the same device, or even that you use at all. I'm on an allowance now, so I can't exactly buy a new, can't use both at the same time, otherwise the laptop overheats.

    I could try using Malwarebytes on that hard drive and transfer files from the old and hopefully get Speedfan to find the fan that cools this thing.

    WoW! t helps a lot when you have something to talk about when things to know!

    I have that now to 1 question: what are the functions of the computer are stored in the hard drive?

    Hello @Jacquihenman,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, a great place to find answers!

    I came across your post and want to help you solve the problem with your HP Pavilion 15-n005 not start correctly. This can be caused by a few different issues, so first of all that they have to be narrowed down.

    Please start by a hard reset. Once the laptop is back on follow the directions under "the computer crashes to the screen of the HP or Compaq logo or the Windows loading screen" of this document:

    Computers laptops HP - computer won't start (Windows 10)

    You can also run the trial extended, as he stated in this document.

    I look forward to the results!

  • HP Pavilion dv7-1270us Enterta: password computer

    I got this laptop from my brother in law and have no idea of what the computer password or if it even has one. My question is how do I know if it has a password and what is the password. Also how can reset you the password if you do not know the old password.

    Best way to know if it has a password must start. If it starts Windows without asking, then you are good. If it has a password, it will show a session before the Windows logon screen. If you do not know and can not guess it - simply hold the power in a few seconds at the stop button.

    A recovery of the system using F11 power on can be in order if you need remove a password.
