Pavilion DV7T Quad: image of the defective hard disk system restore

• The constant hard disk - system and DiagnosticAgent.exe wrote to 300 different activity. Files of the PNF at a constant rate - starting programs negatively impaired.

  Something similar to this began after a time, I was installing updates (somewhere in June or July). A month later, after I installed SP2 via the update, the problem presented differently (just as bad). Here's what I found recently of the reliability monitor and performance:

  -DiagnosticAgent.exe > C:/windows/inf/infcache.0 = wr 1.5 MB/min x 2 (constant) (sometimes up to 6 x)

  -System > loads of instances (~ 500) on. The files of the PNF in C:\Windows\inf\ =
  mainly writing<100kB in="" but="" some="" write="" up="" to="">
  -Diagnosticagent.exe > loads of instances (~ 500) on. The files of the PNF in C:\Windows\inf\ =
  mainly writing<100kB in="" but="" some="" write="" up="" to="">

  (total of instances of 1000 files .pnf; 300 different ones, several up to 12 instances of the same .pnf, half of them at least 4 instances of the same .pnf.)

  I don't see many cases playback from the hard drive. Even at 100% highest active time, the graph of the disc in the performance bed also monitor, an average of only 2 Mbps. When Disk Defragmenter is running, it is an average of 50 MB/s.

  This constant HDD activity about 1000 cases write in 30 minutes continuous .pnf files after startup and after awakening from sleep. While that happens, most of the programs, after loading, do not react for 5 minutes, then run as usual. Even the message control user account often fails to appear before it expires (in 2 minutes) during this time.

  I tried Googling on hdd constant activity on the PNF files, but did not find much.

  I will try using the restoration of the system again, although I had a few unsuccessful attempts with her.

  I have Norton Antivirus installed, which scans for viruses periodically. It is not really the cause of this unknown and unusual hard disk activity I know.

  Hi Tiscando,

  Welcome to microsoft windows vista forums!

  You did any recent changes of hardware on the computer?

  Have you run a memory diagonstic test?

  This question may be occurred due to services (3 programs) running during startup.

  I suggest you put the computer in a clean boot and check:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 - how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista

  (By putting the computer in clean startup - you can find which program is causing the problem)

  Note: Turn the computer back to normal once the test is done.

  Analyze the computer from infection by the virus:

• Where to find the replacement physical disk system restore?

  Good so I had an old model Notebook/Tablet PC and tried Windows 8 on it, since Win8 is really Intense App and defined for the type touch screen interface and all that.

  Well well... fingerprint reader and many other things simply does not work. Tried all workarounds that I could as well and it is just a no-go.  So I thought "hey Let's use this fancy restore disc".

  Well... to restart the PC, press F11 and... nothing happens. It starts normally just.

  So I'm in the bios and extend the deadline, thinking it didn't catch and then try again... and again... and again...

  No luck... Curious, I opened the D: / and there is only 1 file seen...

  & drvmig & 1 KB of size...

  But the D: / said he consumes more than 40 MB... as well as of... very unusual.

  Since I have not implemented a Dual Boot of Windows Vista/Windows 8...   I'm stuck on 8, with a system non-working for the most part.  Even the wifi has problems. (Had to wait and go home on the desk to write this)

  In any case... to sum up the story... I tried to find the disc "restore your system" paper with what he was referring to-because the Discless option apparently is a No Go (unless maybe someone else has something to try?)

  The book says that I can order a replacement disc blah blah.  I know it's a few years old and everything - but the discs have got to be always around.  I must have my fully functional Wacom drivers - as well as the fingerprint reader (which seems to want to not install at all - even after several tries).

  EDIT:.

  Tried anyway - it did nothing. It starts as if I had not changed a thing.

  It does not appear that there is a command option or HP support is terrible, worse then I had ever imagined.  They should be ashamed of themselves for cutting so many corners.

  The Tablet I bought is a known defective system.  Its design has many flaws that cause its failure usually in 1 year and 2 months of use.  Sometimes sooner, given the climates.

  HP has refused to make public something known and refused to give him a recall notice - instead they keep blaming it on other things and never get the problem resolved.

  I've been waiting 4 years after the last models were made - they would at least recognize this problem - at least a cup up to her.   This is not the case.

  I fell on the Support forums to see if my problem can be corrected.  HP apparently cares not at all.

  I will turn to illegal means to fix my problem - because HP don't care my system in any way, as well as take the chance - every chance I get - to warn everyone interested in a HP buy simply do not place.     We will go to Dell or Toshiba according to our needs.

  HP should certainly be stopped.   Bad, bad product support and skirting around the fingers solutions then don't be directed to them for making a mistake.

  Mistakes happen, HP.    What makes other companies so good compared to you - is that they cut up to the mistakes and try to do better for those made by them.  This does not mean giving millions of dollars - away simply stating "we messed up, but here is how you can solve the problem once and for all"-are all that is needed.

  In my Tablet model, there is a kind of "carpet" fuzzy on one of the chain and the GPU has a thick heat cushion plugging on the radiator.  Here's the first problems.     Replace the thermal pad with a pure thickness 1.2 mm or 1 mm copper plate and use a few good thermal grease such as arctic silver 5 on both of its sides.  If you really want to guarantee employment some silicone high temperature apply sealant on the edges is like a framework so it it adheres in place and won't slip.  Replace the carpet with new grease as well, and your connections on the radiator must be perfect.

  Lower temperatures up to 30 ° C.   Given that the system has been called to hit more frequently - 100 c and damage irreverseable - drop 30 c is a great victory.

  I want you to keep in mind this "difficulty" requires almost no computer knowledge, around $8 in supplies to buy everything that (with shipping and handling and inflated ebay prices) and less than an hour of work to do.

  So why, exactly, could not HP fix their own models of 4 years ago?  It was just the thermal pads, they used! They remove not enough heat, and indeed cuased heat build up on top of the CPU and GPU!  Copper to copper authorized connection heat flow upward and out of the system as it was proposed and solved overheating once and for all!

  Microsoft has had a similar problem with their origins Xbox360, the RROD.  The problem of heating has been fixed by - you guessed it - fix the spacing between the GPU and the CPU contact for heat sinks.  It's another fix ' 1 mm '.

  Of course, quality control slipped in both cases - but Microsoft rumbles again because they have replaced hard defective systems (sometimes with new systems depending on where you did) and said: "we are sorry".

  However, HP has no.  This is why you are unable to HP. This is why people are upset.  If it was not a problem - we wouldn't be find ways to modify systems to correct.  But when even... you won't admit there are problems you too looked in the manufacturing industry.

  Admit that you made a mistake.   At this time (4 years after the model has been released) nobody is going to care much if they can't get replacements.  That is what Ebay is for.  You won't have the money. You just do what you have had to do the whole time - that will HELP your customers stay loyal.

  HPs new motto should be ' go cheap and don't care, we do it. "

• If Adobe has disabled the ability to use Lightroom 5.7 to see the images in the external hard drive, how one judge the images in the file on the external hard drive without bringing back them to the Lightroom library?

  JPEG images being dragged over to Photoshop are veiwable as thumbnails on the external hard drive.  However back to the DNG RAW images are not visible.  Anyway is to visualize images of type external hard disk?  It would be nice to get a glimpse of what you make in Lightroom simply looking on the external hard drive you can with JPEG files.

  The library, just click on the import button and navigate to your folder on the EHD. Choose the folder and click Add at the top of the dialog box. You should see thumbnail previews in the import dialog box where you can select what to import.

• Satellite l.660-12 q - would the recovery disk rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition

  Talk about confusion. Does anyone know how to get a Toshiba C660 work after the HARD drive failed and the owner has stupidly NOT followed the instructions to make a recovery disk. Will be the recovery disk (if buy you one from Toshiba) rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition and install windows 7 (original OS) and accept the product key printed on the Windows license, attached to the base of the laptop. I have read a number of suggestions, but these have been considered incorrect by others.

  Surely, Toshiba must have a way to sort this problem.

  They read these messages?

  Hey Buddy

  I don't think it's really complicated, that I could find all the information about the recovery procedure in the user's manual

  The recovery disk must be created on the first day of purchase its recommended to create one in case something would be wrong with the HARD drive.

  The recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package containing Win system, drivers, tools and all the stuff pre-installed on the notebook.
  You bought the laptop and the system has already been activated so that you have need of t the key placed at the bottom of the unit.
  In addition, the use of the recovery disc formats the drive HARD integer (partitions too) and set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of the purchase.

  There is also another option to recover the notebook called HARD drive recovery. This HARD drive recovery requires no recovery disk. The recovery disc HARD would be to use format ONLY partition C (System).

• Is anyway to create fifth partition and keep the basic hard disk?

  Hi, my laptop is g7 1207se Pavilion and the and HP has made 4 partitions (C for windows) and the other 3 for system files and recovery, I want to create a new partition for my files (so I can recover my system without losing them) or install other operating systems, but apparently if I want to create fifth partition I have to convert my hard drive in Dynamics by the practice that I won't be able to boot from any partition but the C, which means no recovery and no other operating system.

  Is anyway to create fifth partition and keep the basic hard disk?

• Use LR5. Because of volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. When opening LR5 it references only the local hard disk. How can I change the refernce to read the external drive. Thank you

  Use LR5, due to volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. LR refers only the Local Drive C not outside. Where do I change this by LR read the external drive. Grateful for the help.

  Thank you

  LR is not a file Explorer. He knows only the disks that you imported photos of.

  If you have previously imported these photos, then later moved into the external hard drive, go to the library files and "update location" Panel on the files that you moved.

  If you have never imported these images on the external hard drive, perform an import by using the option 'Add' (not ' copy') to keep the images on the external hard drive during import.

• Read the last sector of the virtual hard disk

  Hello

  I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium VM inside VMWare Workstation image. I want to access the last sector of this Virtual Hard Drive. However, I do not within Windows 7 itself.

  Instead, I want to start this virtual system using a bootable Livecd. To this end, I can create an ISO using the Windows XP Installation CD and Bart PE Builder.

  Now my question is, how do I boot under VmWare Workstation Livecd Bootable using Bart PE created so that I can access the virtual hard disk.

  And also, once I started the new system, I want to read this last sector of the virtual hard disk. This is for testing purposes. I know, it could be done on a running system as well however, I want to be able to do this in VmWare Workstation.

  I searched the net for a solution. I came across the Disk Explorer utility, which is available here:

  www.Runtime.org/DiskExplorer.htm

  In my view, this will allow me to read the last sector and thus copy. It is however an expensive software. They have even a plugin developed to work with BartPE, which is available online here:

  http://www.Runtime.org/diskexplorer_for_ntfs.cab

  But we need to provide the license key in the .inf for this file to work.

  In any case, I know how to prepare the Windows Bootable Live CD using BartPE.

  Issues related to the:

  How to get started in using a windows live CD VMWare?

  How to access the virtual hard disk of the Windows 7 operating system?

  And finally, are there other alternatives that are easier to explore this disk that would allow me to read the last sector of this virtual hard disk and copy another medium?

  Thank you.

• Location of the bookmarks on an old hardrive that is not Windows, running but the old hard disk files are accessed through another hard drive.

  The old hard disk does not run Windows, so access to the usual file through Windows Explorer or Firefox has not worked for me. The old hard drive is now a slave drive and all files are intact and accessible via the new Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

  You have Windows configured to display the hidden files and folders? If not, do it as soon as the first. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7

  Then, what version of Windows do you have on the old drive? Your profile folder must be on the way there:

  Windows XP and earlier versions:

  \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Windows Vista and later:

  \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  If you find multiple profile folders, see the recent order. You find a subfolder named bookmarkbackups. This article describes how to restore the .json files, you will find: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.

• How to change the letter on the external HARD disk

  My drive external hard was originally on drive F, and with that, I got all my music iTunes also. However, for some reason, my computer stopped recognizing the F drive; the following message appears when you try to open this drive:

  "The drive or network connection that designates the shortcut 'F Drive.ink' is not available. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and then try again. »

  The problem I have now is that the external hard drive is now the G disk and iTunes does not recognize the path (G:\iTunes), I say to use, for example, my music is not loading properly and that a fraction is playable.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Hello

  I would recommend to change the external drive (g) to F letter.
  Do you know how to do this?

  After the external HARD disk is connected, you need to access the disk management and you will see the HARD drive (unique partitions) and other readers.
  Then you must mark the external HARD disk and should change the letter F.

  Perhaps the letter F was reserved for another drive.
  In this case, you need to unlock the letter F by assigning another letter to the reader that uses the letter F.

  What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

  RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
  Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
  no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
  companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
  because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
  more seamlessly.

  Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
  what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
  original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
  your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
  attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
  also have a solid plan of external backup in place.
