Change bios seting in dv6

hi
how can i change bios setin in dv6 6070?
i want install windows server 2008 r2 64 bit in vmware , but has on eror "enable bios vt option".
what is it and where is it ?
tnx

Hi ofr, welcome to the HP Forums. The 'vt' from your error message, is the Intel Virtualization Technology. Simply put, it is technology that improves performance over software based virtualization, and a requirement for Windows Server 2008 R2. Here is a more elaborate description from the source: Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Technology
To see if the option is available, you will need to enter your BIOS. Turn on or restart the computer.
While the display is blank, press the f10 key to enter the BIOS settings menu.
Here is an article that will show you what it MIGHT look like: How to Enable Intel Virtualization Technology (vt-x)
I hope this helps.

Changing BIOS settings?

About a month ago I picked this motherboard up, and I usually format after I get new hardware. Since this new motherboard apparently doesn't let me change them, and WinXP doesn't have DOS, how do I change my BIOS settings so I can format?

I'm sorry.. You've totally lost me.
...you can't get into BIOS?
...or you can't boot to a Windows CD?
...or are you talking about BIOS update protection?
I'm confused.
me_AMD is right, though... if you want to change BIOS settings just press DELETE on your keyboard, whether PS/2 or USB makes no difference. Press it as soon as the video card bios disappears and the system posts.

I need to restore corrupted bios for a DV6-3103sa

1. Product Name and Number
     HP Pavilion DV6-3103SA
2. Operating System installed
     Windows 7 64-bit
3. Error message
     Caps Lock flashes twice (BIOS Corrupted)
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
     Updating BIOS, tripped on cable, lost power, bios corrupted.
     Initially tried reinstalling bios with a USB;
battery out, usb in, win + b held down, plug in power, turn on.
usb light flashed few times, it did not find \*.bin so no install.
     Then, it was CMOS battery out, laptop battery out, unplugged, left it overnight.
     Didn't reset bios.
   Then, I tried USB again,
I read I should've renamed 0143FF27.bin to 0143.bin or even 0143F.bin
but it's no longer reading the USB drive since I took out/replaced CMOS battery....
Any help would be greatly appreciated, exams coming up, a working laptop would be amazing

Welcome to the HP Forum!
Try a hard reset.
Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
press the power button
If it does not help then you have reached a point where only a shop or service center capable of reprogramming and/or replacing the BIOS eeprom chip can help.
It is sad to say it, but the normal result for interruption of BIOS updating , even if inadvertent, is the creation of a laptop shaped Brick.
It can be repaired but not by anything we can tell you except Contact HP or a BIOS repair company.
Kind regards,

Changing BIOS image

I have an HP Pavilion dv6 2020ev laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Is there any way to change the image BIOS displays when booting up (before Windows boot-up)?

Replacing your BIOS logo
Flashing the BIOS on your computer is risky even if you don't modify it - flashing the BIOS with a modified BIOS image is very dangerous and may well result in a non-working motherboard that is very difficult, or even impossible to repair. Follow these instructions
entirely at your own risk.
If your BIOS currently doesn't display any logo, and doesn't have any setting in the Setup, it is possible that it can't display the logo. In this case, you may check your motherboard manufacturer's website, to see if a BIOS update which can display the boot-up
logo is available.
This guide assumes that your BIOS file is called BIOS.BIN.
These instructions were tested on GigaByte 7VAXP and VIA Epia Eden 5000 motherboards. They should work with most motherboards which use Award BIOS though. (If you don't know if you have Award BIOS, here's a screenshot of mine.)
1. Requirements:
 CBROM.EXE - tool for editing the BIOS files; you can find it with Google.
 BIOS for your motherboard
 AWBMTools - programs for converting TIFF files to Award Logo format and vice-versa
2. Ensure that you have CBROM.EXE and TIFF2AWBM.EXE (from AWBMTools) somewhere in your PATH (if you don't know what this means, it's best that you don't play with your BIOS).The easiest way of ensuring this is to put all
the EXEs in the same folder as your BIOS file
3. Open a command console (MS-DOS box) and change to the folder where you have your BIOS. First check that your CBROM is compatible with your BIOS file. Type CBROM BIOS.BIN /D. You should get something similar to this:
4. E:\BIOS\GigaByte>CBROM BIOS.BIN /D
5. CBROM V2.01A (C)Award Software 1999 All Rights Reserved.

CBROM lists the files in your BIOS and gives some other information. Most important line is Remain compress code space = 046FDh(17.75K), which tells you that there's about 17 kB free space in your BIOS, space that can be used by the logo.
Other interesting items are EPA pattern, which is the Energy Star logo displayed during boot-up and LOGO1 ROM, which is another image displayed during boot-up (in this case it's GigaByte's DoubleBIOS logo). EPA pattern and the logo can be safely removed from
the BIOS to make more space for the full-screen logo.
If your BIOS already contains a logo, a line similar to thisone will appear somewhere:
9. LOGO BitMap 4B30Ch(300.76K) 02ECBh(11.70K) VPSD.BMP
Note the uncompressed size, 300.76kB, this tells you that it's a full-screen logo. You will want to remove this.
On the other hand, if your output looks similar to this, the CBROM version is not compatible with your BIOS:
E:\BIOS\GigaByte>CBROM.EXE BIOS.BIN /D

Remain compress code space = FF866F07h(-7780.24K)
E:\BIOS\GigaByte>
30. If you wish to remove the existing full-screen logo from your BIOS, use the following command: CBROM BIOS.BIN /LOGO Release. To remove the EPA logo, use CBROM BIOS.BIN /EPA Release. For any other logos that may be in
your BIOS, use CBROM BIOS.BIN /LOGOx Release. Replace x with the number that appears in the listing.
You can also remove other parts of BIOS this way, however you will disable those hardware components by doing it. Eg. I removed RAID133.ROM from my BIOS, because I don't use the Promise controller as RAID. (There is still ATA133.ROM in there, which allows me
to use it as normal IDE controller). If you have an on-board network card, there's a chance that boot ROM is included in your BIOS. If you don't boot off network, you can remove that ROM (it is only needed for booting, the network card will work fine without
it). Remember though, that any of these actions can corrupt the BIOS and later render the system unbootable. If you wish to remove other parts of BIOS, run CBROM without any parameters, it will tell you which switches you can use.
31. If your logo is already in AWBMP format, you can skip to step 6. Otherwise, here are instructions on how to prepare the logo:
1. The logo dimensions must be 640x480 pixels with 256 colors. However, you should avoid using too many colors at once, and the image shouldn't be dithered to improve compression. You might find it necessary to reduce the
number of colors to be able to squeeze the image into your BIOS.
2. Save your image as a TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) file.
3. Use TIFF2AWBM.EXE to convert the image to Award Bitmap format: TIFF2AWBM myimage.tif myimage.bmp. Note that output file name must not be longer than 8.3 characters. Also, Award BMP format is not compatible with Windows
BMP format, even though they use the same extension.
32. To insert your logo to the BIOS, run CBROM BIOS.BIN /LOGO myimage.bmp. If it succeeds, you'll see something like this:
33. E:\BIOS\GigaByte>CBROM.EXE BIOS.BIN /logo new.bmp
34. CBROM V2.01A (C)Award Software 1999 All Rights Reserved.
35. Adding new.bmp ..................................... 19.4%
36.
E:\BIOS\GigaByte>
In this case, you can flash your BIOS with the newly prepared file. Remember that you do it at your own risk, so don't blame me if the system doesn't boot after flashing.
Follow the instructions of your motherboard's manufacturer on how to flash the BIOS.
If however, the image is too big to fit in the BIOS, you will get this message.
E:\BIOS\GigaByte>CBROM.EXE BIOS.BIN /logo new.bmp
CBROM V2.01A (C)Award Software 1999 All Rights Reserved.
Adding new.bmp ..................................... 19.6%
BIOS.BIN have not enough space for adding ROM. (Over A545h bytes)
E:\BIOS\GigaByte>
The message also tells you how much more space is needed to store the image, however it's in hex. Use your fauvorite calculator to convert it to decimal (in the example, the compressed image is 42309 bytes too large).
You can either try to reduce image complexity, or if you're more adventurous, you can try removing some of the ROMs in B

S10-3: Change BIOS boot device sequence with + - keys does'nt work

I want to boot my IdeaPad S10-3 from an USB HDD.
In the default BIOS setting this is the 4th or 5th line in the boot device list.
The help instructions in the right column of the BIOS page tell me to use the <+> and <-> keys to move an entry up or down. When I do this, the BIOS only responds with annoyed beeps.
If the keys refer to a numeric keypad: there is none, and neither an indication how to map one onto the existing keys.
Is this Netbook delivered with a BIOS that was designed for other PCs ?
A workaround is to press <x> twice on a device above the desired boot device:
The 1st press excludes the device, the 2nd press moves it to the end of the list.
In this Forum I have found hints that "incorrect" changes of the boot device list may disable the internal harddisk, but I can't find precise definitions of "correct" changes that avoid this.
Do I miss something or this just an improper BIOS ?

Hi KalvinKlein,
before I received your new Info about Fn+Insert , I had once more checked Fn-F7 : no effect in the BIOS.
I have also tried all non-character keys plus the "Umlaute"-keys on the German keyboard with the following result:
The key right of the "0" shifts boot device entries down in the list.
On the German keyboard this key is labelled with " ß ? \ ".
The next key on the right and left of the "Backward-Erase"-key, labelled with " ´ ` ",
pressed together with the Shift-key, moves list entries up.
Using these keys I have then set the Boot device sequence according to your suggestion :
1: USB CDROM
2: USB HDD
3: HDD
My USB-Memory stick (with BartPE installed) had been recognized as a USB HDD.
After saving with F10 and <Return> the Netbook responded with a Beep and nothing further happened.
I had to switch it off with a long press on the Power Button.
Switched on again, <F2> pressed, BIOS checked,, o.k. <ESC>,
loads Ramdisk image of BartPE from the USB-stick,
starts BartPE with XPE.
Checking available drives in the Windows Explorer resulted in :
RAMDISK ( "B:" )                (used by BartPE for temporary storage)
USB ("C:")                        (the USB-stick with the BartPE-iso file)
"Wechseldatenträger / Removable storage device"           obviously refers to an unused USB-Port
-volid ("X:") "CD-drive"    but actually another Ramdisk containing the expanded and running BartPE package
The internal harddisk is not visible !
I wonder whether this is a problem of the BIOS or whether I require special harddisk drivers (Intel Matrix Storage manager/driver or possibly AHCP drivers) for Windows XP, because my present BartPE version is based on XP, while the Netbook came with Windows 7 Starter Edition.
Further helpful hints would very much appreciated.
Kind regards

Changed BIOS settings, Monitor won't turn on (Help with resetting CMOS)

Hello,
I have an HP Envoy 700 PC Series. Running Windows 8.
Everything was working fine, until I changed/disabled some settings in the BIOS, an dnow the PC turns on without any display.
I need to reset my Bios settings.
I tried removing the CMOS battery for an hour, still the monitor doesn't turn on.
I tried playing with the jumpers (assuming I'm doing it right).. Any pointers?!
Pc turns on normally without a display. This all happened when I changed my BIOS settings.
Any help would be great.
Thank you

The fact that you removed the CMOS battery usually resets the BIOS so this may not be the problem, however, the computer must be left on for up to 24 hours to permit the battery to charge itself.
You may opt to try another monitor.

I've looked high and low every accessible field in the bios and I'm not finding any solution. why cant it access existing partitions or create new ones. I know the hard drive works because I was originally using it as a back up drive

Hi,
Did you perform a clean installation of Windows 7 on this disk? Did you change the sata mode as Tripredacus said?
Please give us more exact prompt message and which phase did you encounter this error?

Changing BIOS for SDD Addition

I plan to add an SSD to my Vostro 230 using a SATA 3 Gbs connection. When I change the BIOS from IDE to ACHI, will this affect the other drives connected in the IDE mode?

Hih Bobengel,
Switching from IDE to AHCI changes the controller mode for all drives. As long as you perform a clean installation of the operating system, it will have no impact on other drives. If you please to clone your existing system partition, then I'd suggest you Google "how to change from IDE to AHCI", and do this before you install the SSD.

Change BIOS Splash Screen?

Is there a way to change the bios splash screen on the newer thinkpads?
I found a guide for the older ones but i'm not sure if it works for the newer ones (particularly the W520 for me): http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_change_the_BIOS_bootsplash_screen
Thanks!

I looked at my T430s and it is as you describe, but I don't know of anyone who has done this since the UEFI BIOS was introduced, I haven't dealt with custom flash images since the T60. If it doesn't work, I would be afraid that the instructions might be outdated and just might not work.

Accessing BIOS on the DV6

I want to be able to access the Bios so that I can change my AMD 7xxxm series GPU to be the 'fixed' GPU so that the Intel HD 3000 is no longer used. I read that this can be changed in the BIOS, but when I restart my computer, there is no information on how to access BIOS, just a blank screen with a HP logo at the centre. I've tried the traditional F1, F10 and escape with none going to BIOS. Is there any way of accessing BIOS without having to take the PC apart? I've spent hours already trying to resolve this issue, and don't wish to take the computer apart.
This question was solved.

T42 Can't change BIOS settings

I can get into the BIOS fine, I just can't change any of the settings in the BIOS settings screens because it says I need to be in 'admin' mode. I've entered the BIOS by hitting the blue 'Access IBM' button, F1, or F12 and I run into the same problem regardless. This was previously my brother's laptop and he set a BIOS password which I know and he was telling me one of the F-keys will get you into admin mode but he forgets which one.
Thanks for any help.
Solved!

excellent decision. Bios passwords should only be used in rare cases. For years used corporate thinkpads were dumped on the market with passwords, which only served to tarnish thinkpads reputation when buyers get stuck with them. Luckily the brokers have learned not to accept them unless the corp remove the passwords first.

Mobo doesn't "see" hdd after changing BIOS

I have this strange problem. After changing my mobo's BIOS couple of days ago I had a strange "lack of hdd" problem with the new BIOS. I turned off my computer and turned it on again - I was really amazed to see Windows booting normally - everything suddently was ok. I thought that this is a strange behaviour of the BIOS ( 'couse it's probably BIOS thats respnosible for looking for hardware while booting the computer ) and I decided to downgrade the BIOS and to install the old version - the previous one ( from 1.6 to 1.5 ). So I did.
For a while I thought everything is like it used to be before playing with BIOS .... till today :(
I wanted to restart my Computer and while booting the same thing happened - it was written that there is no HDD in the computer and so it cannot boot the OS - I tried to do smth inside the BIOS but I couldnt do anything - like if it was really disconnected - strange thing that the DVD-ROM which is attached using the same IDE cable to the mobo was present in the BIOS ....
I remembered that the last time when it happened the turnOFF->turnON method worked - this time it was ok as well.
But it's still a problem for me - why does it happen anyway ? Did someone have his kind of problem ?
Can I do anything about it ?
PS. my mobo is K7T266Pro2-U with the BIOS ver.1.50 (downgraded from 1.60), OS is WindowsXP with SP1
The HDD is Seagate 20GB but I don't think it is it's fault.
Thank you in advance !

Thanks maesus for answering so soon.
I think I'll to just that - I understand that the Quick Boot option turned on omites something while booting the comp. ?
Hope the computer won't boot much slower after turning off that option.
PS. do you think a new Hard-Disc would solve the problem ?
hope the hdd isn't dying ;(

How to change bios 3.3 to 9.1

Hello
I want to change my bios to 9.1 from 3.3 due to memory problems.
But, how do i change to 9.1?
I have used Liveupdate before, but 9.1 is not there.
Someone who could help me?

install it and go through what it says to flash your bios
it will make the floppy and tell you to boot to it
dont
close live up date and look at files on the floppy
you should be able to see the bios file it wass going to flash
it will have named it some thing like amiboot rom.........right click properties will give it exact
now take the actual bios flie you want to flash
xxxxxx 9.1 or what ever its called in the download
rename it to the exact same name as the rom file on the floppy
remove the original rom from the floppy
add the one you just made
now boot to the floppy and pray

P55A-G55 OC can't change BIOS settings

About this, I've also got a P55A-G55, and overclocking in BIOS seems impossible, all hertz related options are inactive and I can't choose them in BIOS, let alone change the values. Anyone have any ideas? Some option or something that needs to be enabled? Help would be very much appreciated

Oh, really? I just thought I wouldn't waste space with my very similar problem, but alright, will do.
Anyway, I should clarify/alter my problem description. My problem is this: I have set some values in BIOS, and my first question is why does the OS max out the multiplier eventhough I have manually set a lower value? That is to say, I have set it at 20, yet in the OS it is at 22. Anyone know why?
Second question, I have also set pretty low voltages, but the physical values are much higher than what I have manually set. That is to say, the values set in BIOS do not apply. Is that to do with the board?

Satellite L100-113 - Changing BIOS without a keyboard

My keyboard is not working. The easy answer for the moment would be to use a USB keyboard, except that option is disabled in the BIOS.
Is there any way to change or reset the BIOS without a keyboard?

Hi
Try to boot the Windows OS and start the Toshiba Assist.
There you can find the Toshiba HWSetup. This tool contains some options which could be changed in BIOS too.
So I think there could be a option which enables the USB keyboard support.
I think this should be possible using the USB mouse.
