Boot Fail Elitepad 900

My elitepad 900 fails to boot. Is there a way to factory reset it? I just see the HP logo then the small circle of dots circling endlessly.

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can click here for the link.

Boot from usb device on hp elitepad 900

Hello, how can I boot from USB flash device on the hp tablet elitepad 900?

You have to create a bootable USB drive and then copy the bootmgr.efi from an Win7 machine to the USB drive. I ran into this issue when I reinstalled the OS on mine and it was a pain to figure out.

How can i Downgrade Windows 8 to 7 with hp elitepad 900?

how can i Downgrade Windows 8 to 7 with hp elitepad 900? if i connect external dvdrrom is not show on booting option

Most likely because of the UEFI used in Windows 8. It is not by coincidence that this happens. Look at this to help: http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20121126#qa

HP Elitepad 900 - startup error

Hi,
My ElitePad 900 ran out of battery and turned itself off. When I attach it to a charger and try to restart it i get to a blue screen with a big sad smiley and saying something like "There was a problem with the computer. It has to be restarted. First information on the error will be collected and then the computer will automatically restart" (using swedish version on Win8 so this is a rough translation).
Below that in a smaller font it says that the error information is "SDBUS_INTERNAL_ERROR".
There are a numeric progress indicator going from 0-100% finished. It stops on 100% but the ElitePad never restarts.
If I turn it off with the power button I get back to the same blue error screen when starting up the next time.
So effectively I cannot start my ElitePad. How can I solve this?
BR,
Johan

Elitepad 900 Windows 8.1 and Kaspersky Endpoint security 10

hello
I encounter a problem with the HP tablet elitepad 900 Windows 8.1 ( only) and Kaspersky endpoint security 10 .
After the test, I realized that when the components of Kaspersky were active , the tablet had problems booting. ( Freeze at HP logo and blue screen)
If someone in the solution.
Thank you in advance.

Hello romka18.
I am sorry you are having trouble with the auto-rotate.
To turn on auto-rotate, bring up the charms by swiping from the right hand side and search on "resolution". You may need to select that you are searching within "Settings" and not "Apps". One of the settings for resolution is "Adjust Screen resolution", please select that and it will take you to a screen that has a checkbox that lets you enable "Allow the screen to auto-rotate".
There is a good 2 minute video of this on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtiuFLyoGoA uploaded there by Jeffrey Lush.
I hope that helps!

Elitepad 900 Charging difficulties and a question about the connector

Hi.
I have an ElitePad 900 running Windows 8.1 Pro.
The unit was a demonstrator model but came with warranty etc. I am having a lot of difficulty charging the unit. The power unit end is fine but the piece that goes into the Elitepad is not all that firm - I have to get the thing it the slot "just so" and then put it down very carefully so that it maintains contact. Also, it frequently stays connected, and advises that it is plugged in but says it is not charging. Why would it do that - surely if it knows it's plugged in and the battery needs charging it should just do it, not sit idle.
Any ideas on how to make this work better?
Second, I have a Connector that came with it. It has a piece that goes intot he Elitepad on one end and at the other end it has a slot for a USB cable. I assume this is to transfer stuff from external drives and cameras etc. Will it also transfer files from my Laptop if I buy a USB/USB cable? Seems simple enough to me but I'm wondering why it didn't come with one if it is needed to connect to a laptop.
thanks
Hoges

Okay, I have determined that it is an optical output. What I want to know now is how I can convert that to a stereo output.

Hyper-V 2012 R2 new VM with ISO in DVD boot failed - default SCSI not IDE

Hi, have created some VMs fine on 2008R2 and 2012 Hyper-V but now onto 2012 R2, am using the Gen 2 VM and hitting install error when booting them from the 2012R2 RTM .ISO (downloaded straight from Technet) loaded into virtual DVD:
I see from http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/53f901e4-5bd0-4e13-80a2-bca2f57b15e9/hyperv-unable-to-boot-from-cd-or-iso-in-vm-machine?forum=winserverhyperv that Hyper-V seems unable to boot from a synthetic SCSI until guest OS actually
installed - so Catch-22! But I can't add an IDE Controller because it's not on the list:
I tried the Integration Services and it seems fine on the Settings (including ticking the only one unticked - Guest Services) although if you need to run them from the DVD, it has the same problem - you can see them loaded (or the Win2012R2 ISO) in the DVD
Media but you can't make them run through booting on SCSI!
The physical drives are SATA not SCSI but presumably no matter as Hyper-V runs SCSI virtually, but why does Hyper-V default to SCSI and how do I get the DVD to run off an IDE instead if that is the way to install a base OS from .ISO? Or is there an easier
way than all this?
TIA, Phil.

I found this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2013/11/11/hyper-v-generation-2-virtual-machines-part-9.aspx
I hope this help.
"...yes, we’re acutely aware that the generation 2 EFI boot loader messages persist on the screen and it can be a little confusing. Essentially what the generation 2 virtual machine did was:
Attempt to boot from the CD SCSI device containing the Windows 8 ISO. This is where the ‘Press any key…’ message came from. As no key was pressed, we went to the next boot entry. (And this is where we didn’t clear the message from the EFI CD boot loader)
I didn’t press F12 (in fact, this VM wasn’t connected to a network), so network boot failed
The SCSI VHDX is raw with no partitioning or file system, so this too failed
So why did the generation 1 virtual machine start setup from the Windows media? The answer is simply that it’s the way Windows media is built, and it’s inconsistent between the PCAT and EFI loaders.
However, it’s relatively simple to solve if you want to avoid the press any key message. In fact, we almost have all the pieces from previous parts. In particular, part 4 where we injected keyboard drivers into the Windows 8 media.
If you loopback mount Windows 8 or 8.1 RTM media, and navigate to the \efi\microsoft\boot directory, you will see there are two versions of cdboot.efi
The default version, cdboot.efi prompts for a keypress. The unused version, cdboot_noprompt.efi doesn’t prompt.
So it’s fairly simple to create modified media which uses the noprompt version. First, copy the contents of the ISO to a working directory, rename cdboot.efi to cdboot_prompt.efi, and rename cdboot_noprompt.efi to cdboot.efi.
Do the same with efisys.bin and efisys_prompt.bin
Then re-use our oscdimg command (in an elevated deployment and imaging tools environment) from part 4 to recreate the media.

Boot Failed, Single User FSCK couldn't load, mounting Macintosh HD failed, repair and verify returns no errors, and i need to transfer my data before starting over - HELP!!!!

Lets break down the facts here: My machine is an Intel-Based iMac running Mavericks - 1TB Hitachi Hard Drive
1. Was running an initial baseline image with Time Machine when the computer froze - waited hours - nothing got better and no functions were possible (force quit, etc.)
2. Hard Reboot
3. Upon reboot, the iMac was unable to load the log-in screen. The image was a folder with a "?" on it.
4. Rebooted with option key held down and selected Macintosh HD - Boot Failed
5. Restarted and Rebooted with Command R held down
6. Ran Disk Verify and Disk Repair - returned errors round one.
7. Ran Disk Verify and Disk Repair - Returned no Errors
8. Restart - Boot failed - the "NO" symbol replaced the apple symbol
9. Reboot with Command R
10. Attempt to mount Macintosh HD
11. Mount Failed.
12. Shutdown
13. Connect Firwire to Host computer and Target Computer
14. Boot with Command T
15. TDM entered - Host Machine cannot read Target Hard Drive
16. Shutdown
17. Boot with Command S
18. Endless loop created - Multiple errors including:
     - failed to open create the journal retval 0
     - could not read 512 bytes for the journal header - Return 22
     - Errorno 19
     - hfs_mounterror return: 22
Short of springing for a software online, I have no idea what the next steps are to getting my data moved from the Macintosh HD to my external so I can just reformat and install the OS again. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is is a serious headache and I cannot lose my data - Thats what I was backing it up for in the first place!!!!

You may not have the luxury of having another Mac but you must know someone who does. You need to boot your Mac into target disk mode. This is going to be your best bet as far as saving your files. Keep in mind that everytime you mess with this computer you are further endangering your data. Also, once your Mac is booted as a target disk, it may be possible to mount it on a windoze computer just to copy your files to another drive. I used to have one here and if i still did I would try this for you but I "offed" it in favor on running windoze (Parallels) on my MBP. But, one way or another, you need to get next to another computer.

Satellite A660 - Will not boot up and HDD boot fail

Hi,
firstly thanks for your time.
Model: Satellite A660 (PSAW3A-07U00R)
The problem started yesterday, the computer was going slow as an application closed, so I held the off button untill the pc turned off. When I restarded the laptop it went to a screen saying: Start windows normally or repair Windows (recomended)
When started normally it just hangs at a blank screen, the repair Windows recommends a system restore to earlier point which didnt work. As it just hangs again. I tried pressing F8 and starting in safe mode but again it just hangs. Then after a few times trying safe mode and another system restore the computer then hangs when I press F8. After this the computer goes past the Toshiba logo screen with F2 and F12 options (which both still work), and then it comes up boot failed then goes blank and comes with boot failed bootfailed with some numbers and letters, then it goes to a small box titled boot menu with 4 options.These are
HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX
CD/DVD MAT****ABD-CMB UJ141ES
FDD
LAN
If I press ESC it goes through the bootfailed loop and ends up at same screen, if I press enter on "HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX" then it quickly comes back to screen and at the bottom it says [HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX] is failed.
I dont understand why it got worse over time. Can anyone think of why this has happend and more importantly how can I get my pc working again? Note: holding 0 then starting does nothing for me atm
regards, Matthew

All you people looking here on this dead thread.....
Toshiba A660 laptops are renowned for having hard drive fails and boot up problems after grinding to a halt.
My solution (after losing 3 hard drives [and a terabyte of family treasured times]) is the following.
Use MALWAREBYTES (free download and use for 28 days)
Scan and fix. Mine found over 300 trojans that 2013 Norton 360 could not find.
Re-boot into safe mode.
SCAN again.
Re-boot and empty the malwarebytes repair files it retains...
Run Norton/McAfee (whichever you have) and you should still have no issues.
Make a back-up repair disc. Ooooops......no you cant...........at least my laptop can`t.
I don`t know why.....
Tell me tosh..... why does windows x64 refuse to allow me to make a system boot disc (even though the laptop is all driver updated and Windows updated)?
Uninstall MalwareBytes when Norton/McAfee tells you there will be a conflict between the two programs.
It tells you to re-boot after uninstalling it.
Then when it re-boots you get a black screen. You cannot even get to bios. You think ytour laptop is turned into a brick frisbee. You pull out the battery in frustration after five minutes.
You replace and re-boot....but again you get no bios or boot up.... you think its destroyed the Bios or graphics somehow....youo can hear the hard-drive but you have no clue whats going on..
Around this time you shake the laptop in frustration.....
Calm down.
Switch on and leave FIFTEEN MINUTES....Ten of which will be a Black nothing screen with maybe a single white underscore line in the top left corner.LEAVE IT ALONE.
Make a sunday dinner for ten people....When you go back to the computer it will be up and running.
When you re-boot again, it will be dead black for five minutes...then boots up... you still think it has a problem... LEAVE IT.
When you reboot again it should work perfect (assuming you have not been overheating it by using it on a cushion on your lap and overheating the insides [use a laptop fan tray]) if you have not shaken your hard drive or caused scrambled damage by pulling the power fifty times like some people do.
I have lost three hard drives and thousands of Gigabytes of treasured family memories discovering the secret the hard way.
Enjoy.
Buy a different brand next time.
ALL Windows system files should be on a SWITCHED (to update) version of Windows.
Spinning drives should be for Data only.

Drive encryption for Elitepad 900

I just received an HP Elitepad 900 tablet and I need to upgrade to Windows 8.1 in order to download many of the apps. When trying to upgrade, I am required to uninstall HP drive encryption. When i try to uninstall, it says that i need to de-activate first How do i accomplish this?

This is an old post but I give my solution in case someone have the same problem
Even certain HP technician can't give me an answer to this, I had to call to 2 different technician before receiving an indication to resolve my problem.
So as you say you have to download Disktech, you can download it on the HP FTP server.
There's also a documentation on how to procede.

New Error - Unable to Create Any Backups (com.adobe.versioncue.boot - Failed to start com.adobe.vers

A new error just started showing up in my Vc logs: com.adobe.versioncue.boot - Failed to start com.adobe.versioncue.backup.schedule.
Since the report of this error, I am unable to create any kind of Version Cue backups. Has anyone else seen this error?
I had hoped that a simple reboot would alleviate the problem, but it didn't. The error occurs during Vc startup (boot). It's a little odd that Vc was mostly fine until I rescheduled my Windows Backup (ntbackup.exe) to run 90 minutes earlier, and failed to tell Diskeeper to also not auto-defrag 90 minutes earlier. (In other words, it's possible that Diskeeper did its thing the same time ntbackup was running.)
Running Windows XP SP3. I'm going to try a repair install of Vc in a few moments.

Update 2: ntbackup restore of System State to day before last successful Vc backup failed to correct the problem. I can't even run a manual backup.
Can anyone tell me how to determine the ClassPath used by Vc?
There is no stack trace from this error - the exception is caught and handled, so Vc continues to run after creating the single log entry posted in Msg-1 above. By knowing the ClassPath, I may be able to restore the corrupted Java JARs, if that is the root of this problem.
I'd really hate to have to (ntbackup) restore the whole computer back to last Monday...

ElitePad 900

We have a number of HP ElitePad 900's, running Windows 8 (not 8.1).
We have found with several of them that the screen randomly locks itself (ie goes black, and then when awakened with several home button presses takes you back to the lock login screen). This can happen when in the middle of typing or pressing things, so it cannot be down to power settings.
Has anyone else experienced this or have any idea on what may be causing it?
We thought it may be linked to the case we are using (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT4S5xkloSM - this video shows similar issues) but it has since happened to a user who isn't using the case. Any feedback or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Here a service number to call 1-866-625-1175.
Feb 19, 2014 call the service number, service was great. HP sent out a box for shipping to their repair center. I sent it in the 20th got it back the 24th. There was a BIO update done. Worked fine for a week and then started to act up again, did not fix the problem.
Mar. 11th or 12th call the number again. This time they sent a tech person out to look at it. He had to take it with him. He ended up replacing the display and the system card (pretty much everything, except the drive and wifi). Had to re-load everything. Got it back the 19th. Now it does no does not recognize my wireless printer. I know it may need the drivers, but before it searched for the printer and went out and found the correct drivers and installed them. And I have now a very hot spot in the upper left corner near the on buttom and camera. I mean this is very hot to touch. This is where I am at. Warranty is up the end of April.
HP service I must say has been great, but I don't know if anyone in the service area really know a thing about these ElitePad 900. The service tech that had mine had to get the tools to work on this. I've had it!
I'm trying to get it replaced. I have no confidence in the unit I have now.
Hp calls this a business tablet, no business person would want this if you cannot depend on it. I'm becoming very dissatisfied with HP products.
I think I've said enough.

Boot failed: solaris server does not boot

Hi All,
one of my support person who has administrator previlages tried move the contents of root to trash directory, in the middle it got hung,and he had restrted the server.
Now the solaris does not boot. It says
boot failed
Enter Filename [platform/sun4v/kernel/sparcv9/unix]
and what ever we enter there it says boot cannot read.
Please suggest some workaround, nearly 200 users are down, actually it is our licnese server.

Hi,
What you could try is the following :
Boot the system from the solaris cd into single user mode.
Find out what the disk is you need to mount and mount it under /a
After you have done this you can see if you can move back the stuff that was moved from the root directory to the trash.
If that works then you could try and boot again from the disk to see if everything works again.
