Hi aladdin, As hard as I've looked I don't see those selections anywhere in my HP laptop's BIOS settings! Should I be looking elsewhere? Cruise
The installation-recovery disks I received from HP worked (so the problem had nothing to do with BIOS settings or a bad HD)! Windows is now up...
Just to let you guys know that the Win7 x64 disks arrived this morning (from HP). I'll get on it when I return home this eve. Cruise
Given my taste for Scotch whisky I should have known I'd be better off with a Mac. :P Cruise
Nevertheless, at this point that's their assumption. Yes, and I already tried doing that - to no avail. Cruise
Ok, so far I've spent about 2 hours on the phone with HP tech-support personnel. I related the incident to them (in detail) and told them...
Robin, I appreciate your attempt to help, but I see no way to run that fix on my non-functioning laptop! Thanks anyway, Cruise
No luck guys - after all that I'm still having the very same problem! Time to get HP involved, but right now I need a drink. Damn computers!...
That's the one. Looks like the HP recovery has another 12 min. to go. Let's keep our fingers crossed. :P
Correct and correct Brian - go figure (or as you say, "damn computers!"). Cruise
Brian, I've already tried restoring 4 different images, 2 IFW images and 2 DS images. My last two restores (1 IFW and 1 DS) included restoring the...
Brian, that looks like it's going to take a very long time (5 min. and only 1% done)! As I mentioned to MudCrab I need my laptop for work, so...
Brian, as I mentioned in my prior post to MudCrab, I don't see any such option/selection in the HP's BIOS! :doubt: Cruise
Not by my doing (I don't even see that kind of option in the BIOS)! ------- EDIT: While I sincerely appreciate your attempt to help find a...
Okay MudCrab, I finally got to read the BSOD (which in itself was an ordeal)! STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFFFFF880009A97E8, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034,...
MudCrab, I only see the BSOD for 1/2 sec., so I can't read a thing. And when I try to boot into Safe Mode it too fails! That's entirely possible,...
Sorry Brian, I thought we were waiting on MudCrab. After booting up again with BIBM (since my last restore)... Partition Work now shows the...
Brian, I don't have a spare HD, but as stated previously it passes all of HP's HD diagnostics! And if the HD was really bad how come both Dos...
Brian, before reading your last post (quoted above) when I returned home I anxiously attempted restoring my IFW backup (using IFD) but this time...
3-lines. The 1st line is non-descriptive and all of the entries are zero. The 2nd line is for my primary active C-partition (Windows & Apps)....
I've got to step out for an hour or so, but I'll give it a go as soon as I return. Besides my primary active C-partition, I have 4 other logical...
@MudCrab: I presume its a standard WinPE (Active@ BootDisk) which doesn't see my drive/partitions! Acronis Disk Director Suite and EaseUS...
MudCrab, the BIOS does see my HP laptop's hard drive and the drive passes HP's diagnostics 'with flying colors'! Background: My laptop...
Hi MudCrab, I never thought of looking in the BIOS, but I'll check that out when I return home in a couple of hours. Cruise
Tried that, but no joy. :(
