Windows 7 recovery with advanced format failed drive without SP1

I have a dv6-2150us and the hard drive has failed.  I bought a new drive and ran the recovery disks.  Unfortunately a lot of features does not work on a disc format in Windows 7 without SP1.  The main feature is that Windows update doesn't stop me from upgrading to SP1.  I've tried a lot of difficulties to Windows update and downloaded SP1 from the Microsoft site, but all fail to install because update does not work.

Any advice?  I tried to install an ISO cool Windows 7 SP1 which works fine, but I'd rather not pay for an OS that I already own.  My windows license key does not work with Windows 7 SP1 install.

dv6guy,

There the HP recovery discs actually failed to install? The recovered installation fails to boot completely or correctly. Or installation retrieved not only has risks with Windows Update or other software?

If the recovery is complete, and you can enter Windows please try to use ABR Beta with Windows 7 Support to save the installed HP OEM SLP keys and certificate of HP OEM SLP. Once you have these, save the complete record of ABR to an external location, such as a USB key. Then, install Windows 7 SP1 to your ISO fresh. Do not enter a product key when asked and do not allow any Windows try to activate the computer. Now, restore the key and the certificate to your new installation of Windows 7 SP1. Verify that Windows is activated. Post back and let us know if it succeeded or failed

Please see this forum thread titled How to install Windows 7 without the disc to learn more on the subject.

Please send Bravo

  • "Re: Toshiba M10: replacement 7 k 200 with Advanced Format HARD drive" 7 K 750 HDD

    Can we see problems with the replacement of the original Hitachi TravelStar 7 K 200 (200 GB) HDD, that went into my two year old Toshiba Tecra M10 - 11 X, with a so-called 'Advanced Format' 7 K 750 (750 GB or maybe 640 GB) hard drive?

    Like the original, I want to dual-boot the new disk using three partitions:
    * Windows 7 32-bit
    * Data
    * Windows XP
    and would probably clone one disk to another (by increasing the size of the partition!) with the v5 of Macrium Reflect.

    I read up on top of the TravelStar 7 K 750 form, the alignment tool from Hitachi, Microsoft KnowledgeBase article 982018 "an update that improves the compatibility of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Advanced Format drives is available" Bit-tech http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/sto...t-hard-disks/1and so forth, but wonder if anyone has actually replaced the HDD with all original Advanced Format drives and could therefore have a certain experience to share?

    Thank you!

    Hi Paul,.

    This article was created when users have faced problem with old drivers for AMD graphics card.

    Yes, you can upgrade to the last 16.1 pilots and who should work well however, you should have 1 GB VRAM or more to take advantage of the GPU processors.

  • E521 with advanced format ST500DM002 Player - do I need a SATA driver separated during the installation of Windows 7?

    Hello

    I have an E521 with 2 GB of Ram and X 2 processor. I want to install Windows 7 on a record nine of ST500DM002 (= native 4K advanced format). It will work without hassle, or will I have to install a SATA driver during installation? If Yes, which? I can't find the necessary information for the main card.

    Thank you, Andre

    Hi Andre,

    As you would expect, you will need the Windows 7 drivers RAID so that the installer of Windows recognize the drive. Our buddy rdunnill forum explains how to do this HERE. He included a link to NVIDIA support site where you can download the driver.

  • HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC: HP Envy 15 with SATA USB adapter 512th Advanced Format HARD drive

    Hello:

    I want to clone the HARD drive in my system via a USB to SATA Adapter for an identical external HARD drive - this record could then be used to get back in the quick business failure of internal drive. Internal and external drives are the types of advanced Format.  The drive is: HGST HTS541010A9E680. I see the 4 areas of native k when the disk is connecetd via a USB adapter?  So far, my older USB/SATA Adapter shows the areas 4096 bytes, not he emulated disk 512 byte sectors.

    Thank you

    Hi @teranz

    Thanks for the reply.

    Unfortunately the adapters can be hit or miss, not always reliable. You could talk to the manufacturer of the adapter for advice.

    Regarding booting from a USB key, it looks like you want to install the OS on a USB device. It is possible with some advanced configuration, but it is out of the reach of these forums. You may find help by searching for «portable Windows installation»

  • Problem upgrading to 4K Advanced Format hard drive (Windows Update)

    I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, on a Lenovo ThinkPad W500 laptop. I am trying to upgrade my Seagate 320 GB hard drive for Western Digital WD-Blue 1 TB. The new drive has 4K (Advanced Format) sectors, as opposed to the sectors of 512 bytes, which seems to be the cause of some problems with Windows. The operating system loads, however, Windows Update will not work, and various programs give strange guests.
    The old drive was cloned to the new using Acronis True Image WD Edition. Alignment has been checked using Acronis WD Align. I clone the old drive. cleaning Windows installation is not an option.
    Microsoft has this article for what seems to be my problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982018. I have already run this file (before the cloning), but the problem remains.
    Online, I've read that it might help to install Intel RST 9.6 or later version. My Device Manager lists currently Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller (under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers); This is the version of the driver 8.9.2.1002. I tried updating the driver, but without success: I just got the message, "Windows has determined the software driver for your device is up-to-date.»

    I believe that the problem has been resolved, I downloaded Intel RST 9.6.0.1014. The latest version could not be installed on my machine and slightly older than more recent knocked out of my DVD player. Older than 9.6 had the problem with allowing a training of 4K, but 9.6 seems to have been appropriate.
  • Satellite A210 - 17l BIos update to take care of advanced format HARD drive problem

    Hi all

    Really hoping someone can help me with this.

    My old HDD not was not so I cloned the entire disc before it failed. -Just in time, too.

    I ordered a new drive - it's a WD scorpio black - Advanced format.

    Unfortunately I can't get my picture on this new album.

    Also, I am unable to do a reinstall with the original restore also cd because it doesn't have service pack 1 and that means that it can't recognize the HD.

    In any case id prefer to be able to restore my image and not make a re-install when even if possible.

    So my question is this:

    Y at - it an update of the bios I can ask my another pc version 2.00 is available which will include options to change the options of ide drive - ahci?

    It's the only solution I can think of-bearing in mind I do not have an operating system installed, so the alignment tools are not an option as another fix. -Fast technology of storage Intel drivers do not work, because I have an AMD athlon processor.

    So is there any BIOS I can Flash my computer with to activate the options mentioned?

    I have a method to Flash the bios with a BONE, so this isn't a problem.

    Also other suggestions for workaround on this more than welcome.

    Thanks :))

    The_red_pill.

    Hello

    Update BIOS don t help you. To my knowledge, it does not add additional options such as a switch between AHCI and compatible mode.
    In addition, you can use ANY BIOS. You must use the BIOS that came out for the model of laptop. But as I said, this isn't a solution.

    In addition, the image of Toshiba already contains all the drivers in order to install the system. It s any SP1 isn t the image part.

    I guess you're talking about Vista OS, given that the laptop came with pre-installed Vista OS. http://www.Toshiba.co.UK/discontinued-products/Equium-A210-17I/

    I recommend you format the HARD drive first.
    Use a tool called Gparted. You can create a bootable USB key containing this tool.
    This allows to start Notepad in order to format the HARD drive.

  • I purchesed a to mydv6 3017nr Windows 7 recovery disk. He failed.

    They gave me a labtop that I belived to have the Hard Drive removed. The computer automatically loads the splash screen that allows me to get online, but Windows does not start. The screen is all black with a cursur. I bought a HP for Windows 7 recovery disc, but I didn't know if my computer has a 34 or 64-bit because it did not on the Info screen, so I bought a 64 bit.  When I tried the disc, it started but then stopped saying he could finish due to media errors.  Was it because I bought the bad disk?

    Looks like the wrong drive, sorry...

    That's what you should use.

  • No sound in Windows XP 64 with Conexant AC-Link driver on HP Dv8210us

    Hello

    I have difficulties to get sound working in Windows XP-64 with my HP DV8000 DV8210us notebook PC series.  When I run the installation program, 'sp34567.exe' it says "cannot find the MMdriver.inf file in the Windows system32 directory." If I try to install it manually in the Device Manager, it says that these drivers are not designed for Windows XP 64-bit. I could give up and say this driver does not exist, unless I have another partition of hard disk with it working (got a virus). I think maybe it was a manual installation. However, I can't find this driver I apparently found before. Anyone know how to get sound in XP 64 working with this card?

    Well after about 3 days of searching on Google, that I finally found a driver that works... There

  • Satellite M40 - cannot boot from the recovery cd after format HARD drive

    Hello

    After my Satellite M40 - 133 being affected by the virus of security internet I had to wipe my hard drive. The virus wouldn't let me do anything, boot without failure or system restore. I wiped the disk and it still wouldn't load up. That's why I had to do a full erase of the disk including the hidden partition.

    After doing his now do not let my boot from the CD of restoration as it says invalid partition as his search for files that must be on the hidden partition. What can I do to get it started. I'm not bothered about to recover anything on the disc. If I remove the hard drive and put the recovery cd in, it excludes the disc and begins to start until he fails to see the hard drive.

    Outwardly I can link the drive to another pc and he sees it as a storage device so I'm glad that there is nothing wrong with the hard ware - help please

    Hello

    Can you see the HARD drive with all the details in the BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty or not fully compatible.
    If you can see the HARD drive in the BIOS, then this means that the HARD drive is compatible.

    But this should not affect booting from a bootable CD.
    Even if the HD would not be recognized in the BIOS, you should be able to boot from the CD. For example a live Linux CD has not only any disk HARD because the BONE would not be installed on the HARD drive, but it loads into RAM.

    The question is; Why you are unable to boot from any CD?
    Maybe the discs are scratched or the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc more because of problems of laser lens
    If possible, try to copy/burn the Windows CD using another computer, and then try to start using the copied disc.

  • Compaq Presario c300 - Windows XP Recovery disk is not hard drive

    Compaq Presario c300 - S/No: CND6441F50 Prod No.: #ABU - Windows XP Media Center RT150EA

    When you try to restore a new copy of Windows XP and after booting with a Windows startup disk, download to the point where you can select "recovery or install new ones.

    When I press F3, it gives a message that the hard disk is not installed and I should check the connections of power supply, etc..  However, I can run XP from hard disk. And I checked through 'System' that the h/d driver works fine?

    The laptop is 2006 and the disc does a lot of 'Beating' when even simple are requested - where the need to re - install Windows.  (Tried to frag!).

    Can anyone suggest something outside the upgrade? Thank you

    Did you run a self test on the hard drive? You said that you can run XP from the drive, but it runs well? Looks like to me this drive is defect and the cause of these issues. Here's how you can run a self-test: http://goo.gl/pVHxW

    Let me know if there going to fail the test.

  • Drive external hard used on the windows computer wants me to format the drive after use on a mac

    To get into the details, I have a 1 TB western digital hard drive that I used for a few months to work on a laptop running windows 7. One of my friends using a macbook borrowed my hard drive and now when I plug it into my laptop I got the error message "you need to format the disk in drive d, until you can use it. The options are to format or cancel it. If I have to cancel it, give me the D:\ message is not accessible. The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable.  This is the drive I have months of data to work on it and I need to be able to use it as soon as possible.

    Run as administrator command prompt and run the following command to repair the disk structure.

    CHKDSK D:/F/x

    It will correct the errors on the disk by removing the volume. Once the process is complete, try to access again.
