• TRYING TO DO THE SYSTEM RESTORE, BUT 'NO PARTITION FOUND

  I have a HP Pavilion laptop g6, which works on windows 8.  I tried to do a windows system restore because my computer is having a lot of problems lately and it is less than 1 year.  The fan runs constantly very loudly, computer is hot, there is a process running in the background and flash plugin is constantly crashing on mozilla/I.E. Problems got even worse when I upgraded from Windows 8.1 windows8.

  When I went to do the system restore windows through the hp support assistant, it gets stuck and when I tried to do it by putting power by pressing continuously on f11 to get the boot menu, it says that it cannot restore because no partition... Also, I can't do a complete HP reset because when I turn on my computer now since the upgrade to windows 8.1, it seems to ignore the point when I'm supposed to hit esc to the start menu and instantly goes to the start screen.

  I looked into this mess partition missing and tried to 'test drive' as suggested in this message, which seems to argue that a partition is missing and gives me know no way to add a.

  Help, please! all boards (and please keep in mind while I consider myself rather computer savvy, I'm no geek team so he dumb down a little) would be VERY USEFUL! My computer is too new for this shit.

  The document here may help to do a factory reset:

  If this does not work for you, I hope you recovery disks either burn you or HP. If you don't have recovery discs you can contact HP Support to order a set. Contact HP

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  ===========================================

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
  programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
  first.

• My sound keeps inhibition by itself! Have you tried System Restore, but still was no use, guard passing! I have Windows XP.

  For no reason I known, my speaker in the toolbar at the bottom right keeps silent! I tried the system restore, but it happens again... more frequently! Help!

  Hello

  Check if you have a sticky on the keypad mute button.

  The sound will actually mode 'secret' or is it just cut out. You can tell if you have the sound icon in your system tray, you can see the red circle with a line through when her mute.

  If it's cut: the function of it cutting may be a physical problem. The system may not have enough juice to power the sound. Try playing the sound on a low volume. My other guess would be to update drivers and test.

  If the problem persists, reinstall the sound card drivers and check if that helps.

• Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  Hi!, I need help.  I tried to understand the upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 but I have not been able to fully understand the various issues.  My dilemma is this. I have a House runing PC with Windows Vista Home Premium and I want to install a version of Windows 7 Professional.  The package I have indicates whether an upgrade, but when playing in the homepage of Microsofts, in my view, that I understand that to switch from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional, I need to do a full install, not an upgrade.  Because my package bed upgrade, I don't know if it contains the program needed to make an installation full or not.  I don't want to start and install and find out in the middle that I don't have the good disk to complete the task.  Could someone who knows about it could give me the right path to follow. I will be very greatfull for any guidance. Thank you.

  See this simplified table of upgrade: http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/windows-upgrade-chart-eb-remake-final3.png?tag=col1;post-1246

  Vista Home Premium upgrade to Win7 professional will require one in Place (i.e., update Win7 Home Premium) and an Express Upgrade (from Win7 Home Premium to Win7 professional).

  That said, Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. Any future post upgrade issues rather here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

• Not to say could not upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  I pre-ordered Windows 7 months with no indication that I couldn't switch from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional without performing a new installation.  Now I learn that I have to re - install all THE programs, once I have perform this upgrade / 'clean install '.  All the criticism of Windows Vista pales in comparison to my irritation at says this news AFTER the purchase, and not before.  Failure of the installation of the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to note any problem.  All previous Windows upgrades went flawless.  Needless to say I am extremely disappointed by this turn events and we hope that Microsoft will improve its pre-purchase counseling in the future.

  I guess I have no choice now but to do a clean install of Windows 7 and then reinstall on my computer that will put me out of use for a long period of time?  I backed up the entire hard drive before trying to install, but I doubt I can get by simply restoring this backup.  Is this correct?

  Hi pwcushman,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  Windows Live OneCare Backup works in stages. You start by setting up how you want Backup to run and save the configuration. The backup will then run according to schedule and backup your files according to the saved configuration. You can make changes to this list or add other files and folders.

  You can restore all files and folders, but you will have to reinstall all the programs.

• Windows Vista Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  Like other people who are trying to move from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional, told me the softward an upgrade is not possible. Rather than having to reinstall everything, I wonder whether it would be possible to do a full backup using Vista backup on an external hard drive, and then perform a new installation of Windows 7 Professional, and then recover all applications and settings of the backup after Windows 7 is installed? Which would make life much simpler.

  Thank you!

  Of course, you can back up all your personal files and settings, but you will have to reinstall all your programs and drivers.
