    Curiously, I tried all the patches when I got this error efi unawares. I have a dual boot using win 7 as my first and win 10 on another drive.

    I downloaded a Boot Manager after you saw that somehow the drive letter had changed when I decided to check the start state. I don't have this problem before the last update.

    It changed back and everything was fine.

    I did 6 recovery disks for win 8 installed at the factory. I upgraded to 8.1, HDD started failing so I tried: external cloning, cloning of 2nd HARD drive in the Bay from 2nd and two of these operations failed.

    Hello

    It is possible that your installation of Norton 360 is damaged and this can cause very long start-up times.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you have a way to reinstall Norton and the activation key if you are able to reinstall it.

    To completely uninstall Norton, download and run the Norton Removal Tool relevant to your particular product on the link below.

    https://www-secure.Symantec.com/Norton-support/JSP/help-solutions.jsp?LG=English&CT=United+States&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&PVID=f-home

    When the tool has finished, restart the laptop.

    When windows has completely recharged, let it idle for 10 minutes then restart it again and see if the startup time has improved.

    If she has or not, reinstall Norton 360.

    Let me know.

    Kind regards

  • 650 HP laptop Windows 7 64-bit boot problem after installation of the graphics driver

    I bought the HP 650 laptop which came with Suse Linux.

    I installed 64-bit Windows and tried to install the corresponding graphics driver:

    High definition (HD) of Intel Graphics Driver

    as indicated in the list of drivers for Windows 64-bit here:

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=5225013&...

    After installing the driver asked me to restart the computer and after the reboot, boot, Windows boot after displaying the Windows logo on black background the computer restarts again before you boot into Windows.

    After this crash to start a startup repair is suggested and I can complete the restore of the system that allows me to connect to Windows but I have not installed display drivers and things like Aero do not work.

    I tried several times and re - install drivers and had the same problem after each attempt.

    Help, please.

    It's quite a few updates failed.  This can be linked to the issue, but we don't know really until the update problem is resolved.

    Read this document to Microsoft as it addresses this particular error.  It also has various tools to try in case the first option does not correct the problem.

    You can also try the Windows Update troubleshooting utility included in Windows 7.

    Go to start > Control Panel > find and solve the problems under system and security > fixed problems with Windows Update under system and security.

    Let me know what happens.

  • Loses satellite P845t-107 - menu of EFI Linux boot entries

    Hello!

    I just tried to create a new boot EFI menu entry.
    Unfortunately, the UEFI configuration has such an option.

    So I used efibootmgr (14.04 Kubuntu).
    After you have created such an entry, it works exactly once. While the entry is lost.

    How can I create a permanent EFI boot entry to start another installation of operating system than the one supplied?

    TIA

    Notting

    Hello

    I found some details about efibootmgr.
    > Due to bugs in efibootmgr and/or implementations of EFI, efibootmgr does not always work.

    Someone said that there is a bug in efibootmgr (bug in the 2013.04.01 Installer) and one of the possible solutions is a start using the 2013.03.01 old version

    But I guess that's a bad place take on efibootmgr issues.
    In my opinion you should visit some places of Linux support / forums to talk about other possible solutions.

  • IDT Audio Codec time Sound speakers but not with headphones on ENVY DV7 series laptop

    I bought my laptop not more than two months ago. Its perfectly played through my helmet literally the day before yesterday.

    Only two changes have occurred since then, first of all I accidentally plugged my headphones into the external microphone jack, then I updated the 'Music' for Windows 8 PC application.

    After my sound stopped working. I restored my PC to a restore point dated before its no longer works in my helmet, however resonates once again that in my speakers (when my headphones are disconnected). When I plug my headphones, sound no longer plays in my speakers but no sound from my headphones either.

    How can I get audio to play through my headphones?

    Product name and number: Envy of HP dv7 Notebook PC C2h74UAR #ABA

    Operating system: 64-bit Windows 8

    Error message: None

    Changes: 1) update "music" app for Windows 8

    (2) accidentally plugged in headphones and external microphone jack

    Hello

    Try the following.

    First of all, download and reinstall the Chipset driver at the following link.

    Chipset Driver - Windows 8

    When reinstalling, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    IDT Audio Installer - Windows 8.

    One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

    When you're done, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Allow Windows to fully - charge it will automatically load an audio driver, but let just this complete.  Then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices.  'Speakers and headphones' left click once to highlight, and then click the Set Default button - check if you now audio with headphones.

  • Mini dv to g series laptop - no port firewire or expansion slot - HELP!

    I have a Canon Vixia - who, when we bought it, the SD cards that do not have sufficient capacity were expensive, so we used mini dv.  now, five years later, I need to get this published stuff and put on dvd before the band begins to degrade.

    I have a laptop HP G42t - 400 CTO.  My Canon requires a Firewire - my laptop port has neither slot Port or Firewire expansion.  I did a lot of research on this topic and there are many opinions contradictory on what I need to do or even I can't do it, period.  I don't want to invest in something that does not work.

    Here's what I understand which seems the most sensible - I need firewire to my Canon to something - a port or hub of some sort - that allows to convert my video into something that is then passed through the hub to my computer via USB.  I'm not a techie.  I need to a clear-cut, easy to understand, "buy this, which buy." kind of answer or a "it's impossible."  I prefer to do it myself because I have years of images to manage.  I would have kept up with her over the years - which was my mistake.  in any case, is it possible?  I have been informed that a firewire to usb will work and then I was also told by many people that it will not.  I am at a loss - please help!

    Hello Lib_B.  I understand that you need to get data out of your camcorder, but it requires a FireWire port that is missing from your laptop.  Is this correct?

    I'm sure that USB and FireWire managing data a little differently.  So, I don't know if this will be a 100% smooth process.  However, based on the discussion on this page , it seems to be possible.

    It is a single issue so it is difficult for me to recommend a specific product.  There are several, however.  This seems to be the kind of product you need.  It allows you to connect two FireWire and USB to a single hub that seems to connect to a computer via FireWire or USB.  Here is a list of the products available.  Give him a look and see if any of the hubs seem to better conform to your needs.

    I hope this information was helpful Lib_B.  Have a great week!
