RELOADED VISTA operating system CD - Mgr device has exclamation point in the SM Bus controller

Pavilion a6400f with VISTA 32-bit Edition home premium. System would not start after HP splash page and all the diagnosis seems to imply things were OK. Inserted the VISTA CD and entered the product code and reload the Windows partition. Existing files seemed even after reloading VISTA, had to download RTL81xx REA:LTEK driver from HP support and internet and all site seems to work fine - charged 102 patches Windows system, including the chipset g31/33.  Everything seems to work EXCEPT having an exclamation mark in the device to OTHER DEVICES Manager - CONTROLLER of BUS SM. Right click on properties says drivers are missing.  I guess I'm missing chipset but can't seem to find the one that.  Troubleshooting Guide of HP who took me to the page of INTEL for chipset, but do not want to download a chipset with the warning below he followed.  A ran dxdiag in Start menu and and involves the g33/g31 chipset but see the drivers installed. Appreciate any thoughts...

Interesting - no luck with this chip set no more BUT took the look to my file system on the hard drive and found that it still contained the windows.old directory of my reloading VISTA the other morning.  I thought I had done a full charge but does not have the format of the disc so appartently VISTA saved my old windows directory in windows.old.  In this folder is a file INF folder - I have seen nothing obvious in the folder, but on the installation of the SM BUS failed, one of the questions was point to a search folder.  I mentioned it in the windows.old.inf folder and the installation program found a software to install. Installer complained of not digitally signed data, but I said to continue and the SM Bus has been installed.  He removed the exclamation of OTHER DEVICES and placed SM BUS SYSTEM with Intel ICH9Family DEVICES with address of 2930. If I look at the properties of the SM BUS under details it shows the DRIVER VERSION 8.3.0.1008 with the date 2007-01-13, but under the driver Details button, it says no driver required.  I'm not sure what exactly it says but everything seems to work now, and I suppose to be sure I should save the file in case something like this happens again well probably just move to Windows 7.  Thank you very much for all your help and ideas - carried you me on my problem.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Re: How to reload your operating system

    Hi people.  I do not have my password entry and the unit was wiped out.

    How can I get hold of the o/s to reinstall?

    Two methods given in this thread has not worked for my situation.  New loader said I was aware, but then went on to say that the older Blackberries are not supported.  I have a 7200 series.

    Thank you.

    So, your carrier has no file device OS for you? They must, I think, find their site DL here:

    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

    You can also try to contact your carrier to see if they can provide you with a. The OS is controlled by the carrier... RIM launches the carriers, they certify (or not) and release (or not) to their customers. The above site is the portal to the carriers DL sites.

    In case it wasn't clear (my apologies if it is redundant), what made the device OS DL is to install on your PC, essentially on the RIM desktop software, files, and things that relate to your device from your carrier (which may be different from your device to another carrier). Then, when you tie, you can get updates that relate specifically to you rather than a series of 7000 generic BB of any carrier. With him, installed on your PC (at the top of the RIM DTM software), it is available to the process discussed in the KB to reload your operating system.

    So see if none of this is useful... it will be very sad if a workaholic as your 7000 must be consigned to the dustbin. Sad indeed... even if she has had a good run, there no?

  • Re: Serial number down would work with the other Windows Vista operating system

    First of all sorry for my English.
    I have one question.

    My hard drive is broken with my recovery partition.
    If I download windows vista and install the system with my original serial number on the laptop, this will work or should I activate it after installation.

    I hope it's the same number that the front is installed on my first installation.

    Hello Marcin

    I doubt that the serial number that is placed at the bottom of the device works with another Windows Vista operating system. But it s worth a try
    You could test it I heard it's very rare cases it was possible

    In any case, if your HARD disk is damaged and it of not possible to create a recovery DVD using recovery software Toshiba disc creator, then you must contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

    If the warranty is valid the HARD drive should be replaced just for free. If you need only the recovery DVDs, then you can order it here:

  • Download XP Home on computers than rn on Vista operating systems

    I bought a Lap Top that runs on the Vista operating system.  I have my work on a Dell under XP Home machine and want to put the whole package of XP on the Lap Top which has Vista.  I was told that it was impossible, that it can only be charged on a unit of Dell.  I have the XP original software still sealed and never loaded on a computer, so I don't think I would be breaking the laws.  The company I worked for arrangements made with Dell for employees who worked at home to buy hundreds of computers and had them loaded with all the software that they require.  This is the package of XP Home and Dell sent the discs sealed to buyers.  I was one of the buyers and have a new series.  The problem is that it's going to work or Vista shot of it.  I am a novice and you worry mess up Vista and everything I have on the computer.

    Someone, please ME SAY it IS OK AND HOW to LOAD it.

    Windows, any version, does not come with spreadsheets or excel from MS Office, which contains.
    Win is an operating system only, it contains no other software
    If you want to MS Office, or any other software, you must purchase it

    The recovery disks provided with your PC by PC manufacturer are related to this PC, you can't use them on another PC, no, you can't use your Dell disks on anything other than the Dell pc, they were provided with

    The only thing that you can transfer from one PC to another are your data files and all commercial versions of the software that you have purchased

    If you buy a PC with MS Office, while the desktop version is also related to this PC, it has been installed previously on and cannot be transferred to another PC.
    You cannot transfer commercial versions of the software that you have purchased a new PC

    In your case, it would seem that your old Dell PC, available with Windows XP home also had MS Office, none of them can be transferred to a new PC

    And no clip has not transferred to winxp home of your Dell to your Compaq, which would have been impossible

    Transfer of license with a twist

    So I've recently upgraded to a new system... Virtually everything has been replaced - the motherboard, RAM, graphics card, processor... Everything but my HARD drive. I want to continue to use my current Vista operating system, but I forgot to turn it off before changing the parts of my PC. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it says that the license is already in use.

    If you have a retail copy of Vista, you must activate by phone.  Click Start, type "slui 4" and press ENTER.

    If your copy of Vista is preinstalled on your computer, you can't use it with the new motherboard and you will need to purchase a copy of the license full of Windows.  Most of the editions of Vista out of support in two months so consider Windows 7.

  • I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system. Can I do this? I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.

    Windows XP instead of Vista.

    I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system.  Can I do this?  I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.

    Hello

    There are a few things that you would have to do to install XP instead of Vista:

    1. contact the manufacturer of your computer and see if the XP drivers are available for your computer model to make sure that XP has worked properly in this regard.

    2. If the XP Drivers are available, buy a XP disk operating system / license. Try local computer repair shops because Microsoft sells more than XP and online sale buy you pirated copies can cause. Be very careful.

    3 XP runs with 512 MB of RAM, although a little slow by today's standards.

    4. do a clean install of XP. Make sure that all your data is backed up as the hard will be cleaned of everything during the Installation of XP.

  • Deleted the operating system preloaded PC that has no restore disk.

    Original title: my stupid mistake: deleted operating system pre-loaded PC that has no restore disk. How can I the system works again with the original software?  Please notify.

    I am the original owner of an e-machine model (office) preloaded 32 bit ET1161-07, labeled with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.  4050th AMD Athlon tm X 2 processor.  NVIDIA GEForce 6150SE integrated.   I know almost nothing about the operating system, and while he was trying to destroy the virus, I deleted all the files from hard drive, even those inside what I understand now was a protected partition.  Now I hear the disks with this computer not restore disks, I made a huge mistake delete these files. e-Machines Web site indicates that they no longer provide a restoration for this model drive, but they have the driver files on their website so I copied all the files on a flash drive.  I have a copy of the diskette MS Office Home and Student 2007 that I bought at Best Buy, shortly after I bought this computer (also at Best Buy).  I also have an e-machines CD accompanying desktop, but I realize now it is not bootable and has only a power supply and Acrobat Reader.  I thought that the MS Office Home and Student 2007 would be bootable and include the operating system, but seems not to be the case.  What should I do now?  Help, please.  Thank you!!

    Hello

    You can use a Microsoft Vista DVD for resettlement purposes (borrow one from a friend), which contains the files for the different editions of Vista must be installed. The product key on your computer case will determine which Edition is installed.

    Builders recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as well as 32-bit and 64-bit editions different DVD lights.

  • I can't backup DVD for Windows Vista operating system due to the error of 0x8007001B

    I can't finish a DVD upward on my Windows Vista operating system.  This is due to an 0x8007001B error code.  I was unable to complete the fix to services.msu

    Hi mine,

    This isn't a question of MSE - there is a problem with Vista or your computer or your software backup or your DVD player or its drivers or something else. We are not the right people to answer your question and give you the best possible options and solutions - you have to talk to the experts.

    Please repost at: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system?page=1&tab=all&tm=1304884961900 where specialists who understand and focus to help with these issues will be more than happy to help you.

    Although not my area of expertise (and you're welcome to ignore it and just after to the other forum), I did do research in any case and believe that the problem involves the corruption on your hard drive (although I could certainly be wrong - it is more likely to be the case if the full error message includes "drive cannot find sector requested" but you don't get the full error message, so I don't know). To try to fix it, if that is the problem, follow these steps:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run. They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot. Answer Yes and restart to run the program. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

    If this does not work, test better clean your hard drive. To test your hard drive, check the manufacturer and try to diagnosis HD (http://www.carrona.org/hddiag.html) or this test: hard drive diagnostics tools and utilities (storage) - Corp of TACKtech (http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287). If it passes the tests, there's probably nothing wrong with it and you must do to the other support forum. If it fails, which include in your post on the other forum and let them advise you how to proceed.

    I hope that the above solves the problem. If this isn't the case, I am confident, they can help you in the other forum, because that's what they specialize in. It would help if you posted the message Word for Word that is accurate and complete, including all codes. In addition, it would help them if you explain the difficulty you mention services involving (a link to the site where you found the solution or at least what exactly you did and what has happened or not happened when you tried). And if you've tried my suggestions above, include the results in your message (so they don't ask you to do it again and will be able to exclude).

    Good luck and best wishes!
