• Windows 7 will not Boot

  Hello, I have a HP Pavilion laptop g6, g6-1b79dx model. It runs Windows 7 and is about 1.5 years old and is used for the school. The only things I do on this are usage of the internet, the Microsoft Office Applications and run MATLAB and various CAD programs.

  He was woking fine, but then a day ago I turned it on and it took forever so that it starts. The programs were insensitive, I received messages from strange error and pop-up windows of system files, I've never seen before (had to look it up on the phone to find out that they were computer files and not virus/malware). Whenever I got tired to open a program it would be really weird, sometimes a click would take minutes to register or it wouldn't even register at all. My antivirus didn't load correctly in a first time, and everything that took place at the start so was giving me error messages. I tried to restart and that did not fix the problem. I managed to start a scan using antivirus, and it turned up nothing.

  Then, the laptop froze and I could do nothing, so I had to make a hard stop. But when I turn on back flashes a blue screen and tells me to window cannot start normally and told to try to fix it using the built-in tool. I do that and it loads but then nothing happens, and I see the message in cmd "could not perform the screening because could not detect 2 hard drives on this system."

  I'm pretty good with computers, but I have no idea why my computer suddenly went from 100% fine to not exploitable in about 6 hours.

  Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and happy holidays.

  Hello

  You are welcome

  As you mention, the procedure to replace the hard drive is quite simple and I would not anticipate any problems here.  The procedure is detailed from Page 42 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  There are a few points to note.

  First of all, the HARD drive replacement

  1. do not buy a smaller car in quality than the original because it often leads to problems with the recovery procedure.

  2. given there is virtually no difference in the price, I highly recommend buying a car with a rotation speed of 7200 RPM - this will give you a little better performance.  Your original HARD drive is listed as 500 GB, but a 750 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive can be a better option if you want.

  As examples.

  500 GB hard drive for laptop.

  750 GB hard drive for laptop.

  Secondly, regarding the reinstallation of Windows 7.

  
  You have 2 options here.

  1. order a set of replacement of the HP recovery discs - you can use the link here.

  2 another solution, you may want is detailed below.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  All pilots additional and the software, you may need can be found here.

• Hard drive does not work on Satellite L40 - 14B

  I have the problem with the hard drive on my Satellite L40 - 14B. disk hard single beep 0.o and system work slowly...
  Drive is Toshiba MK1237gsx...
  SMART is normal but spin retry count value is 114 100...
  10 x for help :).

  Yes, the backup data is really not a bad idea to be honest, this is the best you can do.

  I remember my first HARD drive crash. It was horrible because it happened all of a sudden.

  I heard that a low, high noise from the HARD drive and after restarting again the HARD drive died.

  As you can see this drive crash HARD could happen and it s advisable to back up the data before the death of HARD drive.

• Satellite L300-1AS - error PXE - boot error - will not boot from USB

  Startup error - error PXE-L300 1AS - will not boot from USB

  I recently bought a new HD to replace the original that my laptop takes an hour to load.

  I put the new drive hard at in the BIOS setting, I chose to boot from USB... USB is recognized as it appears on the screen of the BIOS. I disabled the LAN option as it gives me PXE error... I think that the USB files are not read. as I handed the old HD and attached to boot from USB but it just goes to the start screen.

  I thought that perhaps I bought the wrong HD, but a new appeared on the BIOS setting... I'm a bit confused and would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction...

  Any help or advice will be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  New HARD drive has nothing to do with it. Problem must be your USB key.
  In your ad you didn t wrote what is on it, and we don t know if USB can operate as boot device or not.

  I put t know what OS you want to install right now but original recovery DVDs or use Microsoft installation disc and install Win7 32 bit. I ve installed on friends L300 and it works perfectly.

• Satellite A200 28H: F6 floppy will not work when installing XP

  Hello

  I am trying to install Windows XP pro on my new laptop (Satellite A200 28 H), and since it needs driver SATA, I downloaded the driver suitable for my laptop (Satellite A200 28 H), put it on a floppy disk for use with a USB floppy drive (which works fine), press "F6" when appropriate and everything... But it simply doesn't. I had training as a technician for a few years, so even thouh that is no longer my work and I might be a little rusty, I think I still know at least a little what I do... Well, apparently I'm more image than I thought!

  I've tried several things, and this is what I get:

  * If I don't use all the disks, Windows XP will not find the hard drive. Which was intended, no problems here, don't except for the fact that it is completely useless for me :)

  * If I force the driver on the floppy disk, despite Windows tells me that is already a driver that can be used, then within 10 seconds I get a BSOD with the stop message 0x7B (found or inaccessible boot device).

  * If I use the floppy drive, but do not force the driver and listen instead of Windows ("oh, you already have a driver? ("OK, then, use and too bad that diskette"), I can actually finish the installation process. Windows will copy all the necessary files on the disk, it will even restart correctly after that and moved on. But when the installation is complete, the computer will restart, I'll see the loading for a second screen, and then, BSOD stop 0x7B again.

  I'm sure I downloaded the driver for my computer. In fact, I also tried a couple of bad drivers too, just to be safe (IE I use Intel Matrix for ICH8M, but I also tried the ICH7M to be sure), I tried with drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site, on the site of Intel and whatnot-other-website-for-newbies-or-powerusers, and I still have the same behavior as described above.

  I tried partitioning / formatting during installation, and I also tried leaving the file system intact. If I do the latter, the only difference is that I have offered 2 possible OS to boot from, the two being Windows XP and both failed miserably.

  It's probably worth mentioning that, if I use the recovery DVDs and start over and clean with Vista, I have no problem whatsoever, except for the loaded gazillion process during startup, the RAM already used half and applications useless hundred I don't give a darn on... And the fact that some applications that I need work just can not be installed on Vista.

  If anyone has any idea how to solve this problem, I would be very grateful!

  Hello

  The procedure, including the SATA drivers in Win XP using the external USB floppy drive is very easy.
  First you need to download the Storage Manager and having to put on the diskette.

  During the installation of Win XP you must press F6 for inclusion since the external floppy drive and follow the new instructions on the screen.

  _Note; _
  Very important is that your XP CD Win would contains SP2!
  Without SP2 a BSOD can appears and could break up of installation!

  Don t format or don t create all partitions after the installation of the SATA driver. It can erase the installed and included from HARD disk SATA driver.

  Last but not least some readers of external floppy drive are not supported. I read that some users had some problems with an external FDD drives they tested another drive and it worked finally

  Check the recommendations may indicate that it might be useful

  Sony Vaio PCG - 691L

  .5gig ram

  I worked on the machine to get to start XP. Sometimes it will boot in Safe Mode, but most of the time (and when it does not start in 'normal' mode), it crashes with a blue screen. The blue screen flashes fast to read, and then the machine tries to restart.
  Once I do start safe mode and got WIndows update but can't update due to the update that needs to be in normal mode.
  I was able to install Malwarebytes and a full scan. Also installed Spybot S & D and performed a full scan.

  When it does not start in normal mode it is slow, very slow. I tried rkill and it causes the machine down.

  It starts in normal mode today, but it crashed before I can get open IE and go to the windows update.
