S205 &; Win8 - how to force the legacy BIOS mode?
Hello
AFAIK the S205 features of two different interfaces:
Legacy and UEFI BIOS.
Windows 8 is compatible with both.
With the help of UEFI, Windows will partition the drive with TPG.
Using the BIOS, it will be with the MBR.
The main problem is that - probably due to malfunction of the drivers - there are a few major problems when using GPT with this netbook. You can find many discussions about cards WiFi works do not for example.
I'm looking for is an option to start the installation of Windows 8 through the BIOS from a USB interface.
The S205 does not have an optical drive and I not one or the other.
Thanks in advance for any help.
PS: As it is not a driver issue, I'm not this announcement in forum Windows 8.
After some research, it comes to use successfully the Ralink Wifi with Windows 8 on the s205 - own USB Installer.
You must install Windows 8 in legacy mode (click on "IDE" in BIOS).
BUT - you must * also * remove "bootmgr.efi" and USB \efi\, before installing. If you do not, the USB key will still install in EFI!
If you have already installed Windows 8 IDE USB mode, you should check whether your installation is IDE/legacy or EFI - open this log file:
\Windows\Panther\setupact.log
Search this text:
Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Environment detected: BIOS
= you have IDE/legacy install
.. .or
Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Environment detected: UEFI
= you have EFI install
(This information is extracted from http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=209045)
If you see EFI/UEFI in the log file, you must reinstall Windows 8.
The only problem I have now is that Windows is freezing sometimes, so I intend to reinstall from different USB drives in the event of corruption of file etc.
I hope this helps.

How to change the Legacy USB Support on hp phoenix h9 - 1215t?
I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the option of existing usb on the phoenix from HP support. I tried to find on the BIOS, but I had no chance. I want to change it, is because I want to use my hardrive external without unplugging and pluggin it back everytime I turn on my computer.
Hello
I see that your particular PC is not active UEFI. You can check that the information provide in the BIOS. Version 7 is not UEFI. If you start in the BIOS (tap button to power up the ESC) and then press F10 computer for installation. Now, go to storage topics and then select Boot Order. You should be able to move the hard drive on it to the top of the list of Legacy devices and then save the settings.
I saw on some latops legacy USB option as a separate selectable parameter.

How to force the screen sharing to use Ethernet 2 port?
Hello
I have 3 MacPros connected in my studio. MP1 is the master and I use screen apart to see MP2 and MP3. Now, I bought a very quick switch to connect these 3 between them via the Ethernet Port 2 MP1 and at the same time have the MP1 connected to the internet and printers, servers and so on with 1 Port Ethernet. But this is not possible, because the screen sharing will prefer to use the port where the internet/router is connected.
When ONLY Ethernet Port 2 is active, screen sharing using this port and it works perfectly, but when turn on again once, 1 Port Ethernet 2 remote Mac loses connection.
Is there a way to force the screen sharing to use Port Ethernet 2?

I don't see 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless as a capacity of connectivity for each model (6310 and 6310xi) of your printer. It is most likely the reason why your laptop is not 'see' it.
There is a bluetooth wireless connectivity. It's a different way of connection that allows only printing capacity.
You give more than the number of series in your laptop so I have no idea if bluetooth wireless is installed as a standard option. If it is not installed, you must buy a bluetooth dongle to wWalMart and set it up to use that feature.

HP ENVY 17-n013na: the Legacy BIOS boot option does not work
Support dear HP team,
I recently bought for laptop HP ENVY 17-n013na . It came with Windows 8.1. I have to install Windows 7. Unfortunately, the legacy in BIOS boot option does not work for me. Here is detailed information:
BIOS version: F.04 Rev 5.0
I tried updating to the latest version of the BIOS on the Support site.
To activate the option to boot legacy, I followed the following steps:
- Entered, BIOS configuration utility
- Go to the System Configuration
- > Boot options
- Changed the setting to the Legacy Support on " Enabled"
- F10 - save changes & exit
Now, after the restart, if I go once more, configuration of the BIOS Legacy Support is set to disabled. Whenever I have change to active BIOS, Save & Exit, it is up to the people with reduced mobility. Because of that I can't run the installer of Windows 7 DVD.
Please provide any help & suggestions.
Thank you.
Kind regards
Eugene

HP 9470 m Ultrabook, Win8 - how to get the 3G connection?
Hello
I got a Ultrabook 9470 m of work with Win7 installed. Everything works, cool, but I wated Win8 (64 bit) for my own stuff. So, I installed Win8 (dual-boot) for my use personal. Of course, I have no HP drives or whatever it is. -No worries, I found all drivers for Win8-64 in this site ok. And now everything is recognized correctly.
But I don't know how to get the 3G card to connect. On Win7 HP connection manager takes care of that. But there is no connection manager for Win8. And google results only direct me to choose the network in the bar 'charm '. Great, but there are only available WiFis appear...
... --- ...
Well, I finally got this resolved. -As usual, it'S just a driver issue, as always with Windows... I suppose that there is nothing new under the stars.
In any case. Thanks for Cloud_Strider to point to the firmware upgrade. I did, but it alone did not help. BUT I don't know if it was still a part of the solution. So, thank you!
Unfortunately, Ericsson or Navatel drivers broadband did the trick. -It's the only ounces available on the site of HP support for this laptop. = (Fortunately, I had (finally) look in Device Manager to see what drivers are installed. Seems that this braodband card is a HP un2430. Looking for these drivers for WIndows 8 on Google showed me finally good page on HP which she link to fresh (from March 2013) drivers for this card.
After removing the old drivers (+ restart) and new (+ reset) installation, broadband is now available. I now write this with happiness through 3 G connection. =)

How to force the af:gridCell to stretch?
Hello. I somewhat complicated layout requirement and I decided to use af:panelGridLayout.
Let's say I have this kind of table:
Header 1 Header 2 Header 3 TEXT There is a cell in which the TEXT is and I need to set a background color of that cell.
But when I put this wallpaper af: gridCell or border that I can see that actually the cell is not tense but only surrounds its content - if the background is only behind the TEXT, but not the whole cell space.
How can I force the cell to stretch so I could put in the background of the entire table cell?
Thank you.

AF:panelGridLayout is the component THE MOST CREEPY in ADF Faces.
It is absolutely unusable and useless.
