Pavillion 500-164: System Z drive

When I downloaded windows 10, everything was fine, 1 month before the anniversary update to windows system 10 Z stood. After updating birthday he went. Today is Friday I noticed that System z is back, I didn't update or I downloaded something. This could be a disk that stores information about how to use the computer, and it is only on HP computers? It does not appear like a virus or a Trojan, and it is 356 mb with 301 MB of free space, using 55 MB...

Hello

From time to time, Microsoft may create a player called Z: to keep information during the process of update/upgrade. Drive Z: can appear and disappear. Microsoft should tell the people about it or hide it as a default.

Kind regards.

  • Remove the hard drive and optical drive on HP pavilion 500-164

    Hello

    I was eager to build a new computer and was hoping to use the hard drive and the optical drive from the Hp Pavilion 500-164 to reduce their costs. I'm confused as to how to remove the optical drive, because I removed the two screws on the left and don't know how to get to the other side as it wouldn't come out. When you remove the hard drive, the SATA cable wouldn't come off, so I stopped here and would like some advice on how to remove the hard drive from its Bay.

    Thank you

  • I bought a 500 GB external hard drive and did a full system backup. Then he told me that I need a floppy disk? After backup system restore was complete. What?

    I had a scare last week and thought that my computer crashed.  In the end, everything was fine, but I decided I had to do a full backup of the system.  Bought 500 GB external hard drive.  Full backup of the system ran through the performance Wizard mode & maint.  When finished, he gave me a saying of the warning, something like "insert a diskette to run the system restore" something like that.  Does this mean that if I have a major failure which is on the external hard drive is null and avenue?  Floppy?  What is everything?

    The disk is a boot disk that is used to access the backup files.

  • Pavilion 500-164: motherboard replacement raises Questions


    Thanks, Malygris1, for your very comprehensive answer.  Unfortunately, I'm looking forward and installed the new Board of Directors.  For those faced with replacing a motherboard HP, I will elaborate on my trip.  The most important step was in buying for the motherboard.  I have no HP, but from a dealer on Ebay.  I DID, however, carefully note the model of the motherboard AND the designated HP part number of alternatives on a small paper on the motherboard label.  The same motherboard model is used in several models of HP Office; but, if the number of HP spare parts is matched, the info on the model should be on the motherboard.

    My original problems were solved with the installation of the new Council.  After a router struck by lightning, the ethernet port had stopped working, and when told to stop, or in standby mode, the machine would invariably restart.  The new motherboard solved both problems, which seem to be related to the power surge.

    I installed the new Board of Directors of the Windows 10 updated 500-164 and held my breath I have it powered for the first time.  I was pleasantly surprised to see that everything looked the same as when I left it.  Recognized support assistant the new Board of Directors as part of a desktop computer 500-164.  I have not tried; but I hope that the recovery media will work, if necessary.  Malygris1, do you think that if Support Assistant recognizes the info on the model, the recovery disks will work?  I'm curious to know how it works, but, if not, no big deal, as I now have a new image Acronis 10 Windows installation, which works perfectly on the 500-164 Pavilion (without "Pitfalls", as some have reported with audio, etc. of the wireless card.).

    My second concern was whether or not Windows is always activated with the installation of the new Council.  He said that he "Windows is not activated.  ... Rats and other profanity.  I know it can take time to be put in correspondence with the info from Microsoft, so I updated the bios and checked the rest of the ports for the features of the machine.  I returned in configuration/system Panel and he told me that the activation information were "unavailable" - different from the message 'not active' sooner.  I've been waiting on this screen for a few minutes and the message changed to "Windows is activated"!  I was ready to make Microsoft telephone activation and I had run a keyfinder to get the original MS product key for Windows 8 from the hard drive, but I didn't have to use both methods.

    So, in summary, if you want a card mother 'replacement', shop for the exact number of spare parts HP; not only the MFG part number.  It will save you a lot of grief.  Obviously, if you want to 'upgrade' from your motherboard, all bets are off, because it's a totally different scenario with different issues to deal with.  My project was a complete success at a cost of $103 for the new motherboard and several hours of my time.

  • HP Pavilion 500-164 recovery disks came with instructions in Spanish, don't read not Spanish

    Hi Ron,

    Don't you see the external hard drive listed in Device Manager?

    You can also check if the hard drive is listed in disk management.

    a. click the Start button > Control Panel > system and security > administrative tools.

    b. double-click on computer management.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    (c) in the left pane, under storage, click Disk Management.

    Please post back and we do know.

  • Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?

    Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?  The bios is version v3.26, and the operating system is XP with SP3.  40 gig HD is full and you are looking to replace it but do not know what the size limit is with this bios version.

    Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion a705w desktop. This is based on the assumption that you converted the 5 and 0 and the fact that you mentioned a 40 GB hard drive.

    You already have the most current version of the BIOS of your computer and running the most recent service pack of Windows XP. Your computer and the operating system should support a drive of 500 GB without problem. The only problem is that your computer isn't any SATA ports, only 66/100 IDE (PATA). Look at local retailers and online for the IDE drives.

  • the desktop pc Pavilion 500-164 to date of Windows 8 for windows 8.1

    My dealer told me that the 500-164 Pavilion had windows 8.1.  This isn't.  Even if the Assistant on HP site says that it has not been tested, has anyone successfully done?

    Hello:

    I do not have your PC but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

    HP provides W8.1 drivers for this model on its support page.

    Before moving to W8.1, I'll make sure to create the W8 recovery media so that if for some reason, something doesn't work well in W8.1, you can restore the operating system and software from the PC to its status of "out of the box.

    And you should do anyway even if you do not upgrade to W8.

    Check out this guide to make your W8 recovery media set.

  • Toshiba 500 GB external HARD drive is no longer detected - after only 1 hour

    Hey,.

    I finally got my Toshiba 500 GB external hard drive delivered today. I had no problem setting up and to turn my laptop on, it immediately recognized and I started to transfer things for her.

    However, I accidentally stood on the USB cable to the HARD drive and disconnected. I plugged it in, but my computer did not recognize.

    Nothing I've tried has worked, always, the laptop does not recognize the hard drive.

    Please help, I've only had the one hour thing, and it already does not work! I really hope that I have not only lost £56...

    All advice is appreciated, thanks in advance.

    NEW: My father just tried plugging the HARD drive in the desktop PC is on the ground, and as soon as the USB when it is in the port, you stop the computer... causing him to lose a lot of important business email, he wrote. It starts the computer, the USB and you stop again... and this has happened 3 times until he gave up. What on Earth is wrong with this thing? I've never heard of a USB cable, stop a computer permanently, or a hard drive that does more after an hour of use...

    Post edited by: Sam_V631

    The USB port on the HARD drive may have been damaged and may be causing the PC detect a short power.

    You can try another USB cable? If it is not the cable, then the HARD drive should be sent to a Service Center for repair or replacement.
