TouchSmart 300-1025uk disk configuration
My neighbor has one of them. It is under warranty and does not start - not found Boot Manager. built in show of diagnosis without fault but the disk hard watch as having 3 partitions - C: about 100 megabytes, about 500 gigabytes D: and E: recovery partition about 3.5 gigabytes. It is marked, the other two are not and do not appear to contain any files. I guess that's the work of a virus. Recovery software will not work - I think not that Windows7 fit in 100 megabytes - but there might be some hope if the disk was repartitioned. My question how should the reader be partitioned? It should be just a more than C: partition recovery partition - or should there be a partition C:, D:, and E: and if so where the limits?
That's exactly the configuration which is expected.
The 100 MB partition is to place some Win7 it there for reserved system use, it does NOT receive a drive letter in a normal system, the 500 GB partition you see must be the Boot/C: partition. The recovery partition usually contains hidden data also.
There is nothing that says whatever it is dirtied with partition sizes, they are correct except for the drive letters.

My UK Touchsmart 300 will work in the United States?
I bought my Touchsmart 300 at the United Kingdom 2 years ago. Now, I'm moving back to the United States and bring it with me. I have an adapter for it and if so, what kind?
Ed,
Yes, I meant the laptop as power supply. However, since it has an internal power supply, please provide the full name of the HP model and/or the name of the product to the computer in question. I'm trying to determine if the power supply is auto-allant 100 to 240 volts as laptop power supplies are.
Information of a product number: VG255AA / name of the model: HP TOUCHSMART 300-1025UK indicates that the internal power supply looks like;
http://allpcpower.com/images/products/detail/517133001FULL.jpg
http://allpcpower.com/images/products/detail/517133001DETAILLABEL.jpg
This picture shows clearly... of 100-240 v, while the first image does not display a red switch. This should indicate that the power is automatic. Now, if your computer uses the same power supply... you can be good to go, just using a computer 110V US cable.

HP Touchsmart 300-1020 system restore
Hello, I have a PC HP Touchsmart 300. I recently sent in for repair and it works very well for a few months. They replaced the motherboard and the hard disk. My brother somehow got some malware on the PC so I decided to do a system restore on it. Whenever I do a restoration of one of the discs of recovery or the recovery partition, it gives me an error saying: Recovery Manager cannot restore your computer by using the image with. Please contact HP support. Error code: 0xe0ef0003. What can I do to solve this problem and to restore?
Hello
I don't think your recovery partition can be damaged and the only option for you is to order the Kit of the RRS from HP in order to restore your windows to original state.
You are still able to get into windows? If so, try to create the RRS Kit, if you can't, try to order the Kit by using the information that I posted below.

HP TouchSmart 300 connection issues
Hi, I have a HP TouchSmart 300 with Windows 7 Edition Home Premium that I bought in 2008. Yesterday morning it was working completely fine. The end of the night when I turned it on again, it took a while to start and join the log on screen. I was thinking just leave it off overnight and turn it on the next morning to see if that would help. I turned it on this morning and it took awhile to get to the log on screen, but he got there. Once I logged it took awhile to open a session and he stayed right on the Welcome screen indicating the loading circle. When he connected, the screen was black. Works and move the cursor, but everything else was black. I pressed Ctrl + Alt + Del and the usual options screen appeared. I clicked on log off. I then logged back in and it started to load for awhile then all returned to the login screen. I connected again and again the black screen with the cursor to work. So I pressed Ctrl + Alt + Del again and cliked start the Task Manager and it returned to the black screen. After 10 minutes to leave her like that the Task Manager appears but the rest of the screen is always black. I know 5 years will be a great run by a computer these days, but I just want to know if I could still save and continue to use it.
Does anyone have an idea of what might happen and how I could solve this problem?
This happened to someone else?Hello Mindy123:
Welcome to HP forum. Sorry you hit hard by malware / virus. The reason I say this is because if Windows are not authentic. This is not the message, that you would see period that yours is false. The real message in a white box appears on a sreen desktop windows open up on the right. He'll tell you please provide Microsoft with contact phone number.
There are three things you can do. 1 is try the safe mode method. Turn your computer off tension, then restart it tap f-8 keys use arrow keys select Safe mode with network. You can try to remove it by low loading verson of the trialhttp://www.malwarebytes.org/ malwarebytes scanner once he has finished and deleted everything. You can see if your computer starts normal now or if you like you can also try running a free virus scan check as well. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ If no analysis removes the virus/malware. Your computer still is not booting properly then it in 2 safe mode this time you now open up HP Recovery Manager and perform a Microsoft System Restore. Go to all kind of research programs in the HP Recovery Manager open it select the Microsoft System Restore, click Next until you get to the dates that you select a date as far as you can. It can perform the recovery. Once, he completed see if your computer starts normal now. Sometimes this method whipes on the virus / malware. If this a not you don't have no choice but to do a restore factory, only cd discs.
Pior that put your computer in safe mode and back up your personal data files once completed. Then precede to step 3.
3. turn on your computer and press the f-12 Recovery Manager window will open. Select Restore Factory of cd. 1 insert recovery disc follow all orders for recovery.

If the three methods don't turn off your computer. Turn on your computer hold down Esc button for 5 seconds. Change the start of your computer in order to initialize disk CD/DVD Recovery disc 1 insert click on save and exit. Restart your computer that will automatically start to recovery. If Recovery Manager ask you how I would like to perform a recovery. Select Restore Factory disk CD and continue to follow the orders of recovery. frrw

TouchSmart 300 Windows 7, re - install on hard drive replacement problem. Help!
I have official restore for my Touchsmart 300 disks and try to get it back on a hard drive, which I took from another machine. Drive hard said have left include Win 7 and Win XP. When I try to boot from the recovery CD, I am taken to the old hard drive Artemision boot menu, not the installation of the recovery disc. If I continue on this path there, I get an error message and a suggestion from my hard drive is damaged. Repair disk option can fix anything. Recovery Console doesn't help either. Why the CD read and overwrite all the old stuff on the hard drive?
It is a good idea.
They can have tools or diagnostic we individuals have no which can isolate the cause.

HP TouchSmart 300-1120: the video card upgrade
I came into possession of a HP Touchsmart 300-1120. I do not use not for the games just the navigation and use to watch movies when traveling through Plex home theater.
I've updated the CPU to an Athlon X 4 605th & maxed out the RAM 8 GB. I noticed that I can upgrade the video card using the Mobile PCI Express Module slot. Even though I know that the GPU Radeon HD 3200 onboard can handle HD videos, he hangs out considerably. even though I have the film on the hard drive.
So the question is, where can find one of these cards. And is there a way to upgrade the PSU?
Thank you
Jim Hutto

You need to search online to find a seller or a person who has one for sale. I see them on eBay for @ $35-50, 00
The upgrade of the PSU is not a viable option.

TouchSmart 300: Windows 10 no sound
Hello
I have upgraded to windows 7 to 10 and have now no sound. I tried to update the audio driver which is updated but still no sound. ideas please
Without your specific model number, I can't check for your PC, but I checked several Touchsmart 300 models and the problem is that your driver is NOT updated - and cannot be updated. Why? Because HP does not provide the Win10 for the Touchsmart 300 pilots.
If you follow the instructions in the thread and post your detailed model number, I can check for your model: find your model of HP product number. HP® customer support
But fundamentally, the problem that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 driver for your laptop. HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.
Here are a few alternatives to pilot, you can continue...
You can try to use Windows updates to find the drivers from Microsoft deposits for your device: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139
You can also try following the instructions in this thread: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04763435/
If Windows Update doesn't give new drivers, you can pursue alternative which are described in the linked Microsoft Windows Insider community thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki/insider_wintp-insider_devices/how-to-install-and-update-drivers-in-windows-10/a97bbbd1-9973-4d66-9a5b-291300006293
If you then run into trouble, install the drivers through Windows Update, you can try to use of Microsoft Windows Update Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

HP Touchsmart 300 turns on itself
My HP Touchsmart 300 turns on itself every day when I turn on the power strip, I to another desktop pc and a laptop plugged into the same band of power and these computers do not it rigt now it is running Windows 8 but used to do the same thing when he was running Windows 7, already unchecked the option to Wake Up LAN Please any help will be great, thank you
Hello Luijo,
Is the computer is completely shut down until the power strip is turned off? If the computer is set to return to the last power state after a power cut so he could turn himself back on thinking that there is a power failure.
In the BIOS, check the setting to "After AC Power Failure" changing of auto off.
