Hi,
I normally use Hirens CD to fix similar cases. Do you have any bootable CD/DVD or USB ? My suggestion: contact HP and order a new Recovery set for your machine. Here is how:

No audio on my probook 4510s

Hello,
I have a new HP probook 4510s with an audio problem, more precisely no audio at all. I followed all the troubleshooting, download audio drivers, delete them, install again... all I could find, but nothing seem to work. Any idea before I take it to repair?
Ah, the only thing I didn't do is to check if the sound is turned on in the BIOS and I don't know how to do this.
Thanks a lot!

In the audio panel I have only the ATI HD REAR card.
I've tried to install the SoundMAX driver but after unpacking it comes up with the following error:
The audio Driver files do not support your computer hardware.
I have several laptops with the same problem (Windows XP SP3)

I recently deleted a partition on my mac that was intended to install windows. Now it is just blank space. I attempt to resize my Macintosh HD partition to cover entire hard drive space and hit apply but nothing happens (disk utility). Any ideas?

I have a few problems...
I wanted to make a partition to install windows, I tried to use bootcamp 5 where it wanted to partition and install windows at the same time. I do not have a cd of windows but instead had it on a flash drive. Bootcamp couldn't find it. Instead I was reading forums and found that there was another way to install windows by partioning your harddrive using the disk utility, downloading the bootcamp drivers, and installing rEFIt (an app that when starting the compouter a menu would come up to boot windows from the flashdrive). I try that and the windows install screen gets me to the point where I pick a partition. I attempt to pick the partitioned drive but a message comes up telling me that "this is of the GPT partition style" and windows cannot be installed on the drive.
So now I went back to disk utility and deleted the partition but there is still blank space. I wanted to retry and install windows through bootcamp (somehow) but a message comes up that there cannot be any partitions or that a partition must be created using bootcamp. SO i keep trying to drag the partition over the blank space and hit apply but nothing happens.
By the way I was trying to install windows 8 pro, some forums would say that you cant install win8 however I found others that said you could. How do I fix my partition and how do I use bootcamp to install windows (preferrably 8)?

Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

How do I delete HP_Tools partition & turn of beep on my DV7-6153ea?

Hi Everyone,
I recently updated my bios with a HP update and a fourth partion called 'HP_Tools' has appeared on my new DV7-6153ea Windows 7 (sp1) laptop. My question is this... I don't want a fourth partition on my harddrive especially for 99mb. I'd like to completely remove this 99mb and partition - can I do this and how do I go about it?
Also, is there a way to turn the bios beep off when the laptop starts!!! It's so loud and disturbs people when I'm working!
Sincerely, and with many thanks,
Judd

I would personally recommend not to delete HP_TOOLS partition as its helpful during BIOS update process in case if you would like to do a rollback etc. Also HP_TOOLS partition is useful in running F2 (System Diagnostics) in case of any emergencies when required.
If you are still keen on deleting/removing it , Click start and type "Disk Management " without quotes and open Disk Management window and right click HP_TOOLS partition and click Delete volume. This would also stop bios beep sound on the notebook.
I'm unsure how many times in a day you would restart your notebook where beep sound would annoy others but I'm very positive that you would hear that only once when you power ON the notebook.

Can't boot anything after deleting C partition in order to install Windows 8.1

I have a ASUS X55VD notebook, wich had a Windows 7 64-bit (and a dual booted Ubuntu, but with Windows bootloader). Yesterday I tried to install a Windows 8.1, so I inserted a disc and restarted.
The window to manually select the partition, on wich it will be installed, came up so I formated C partition where Windows 7 was installed. It did not allow me to install to that partition because, a new format (GPT) had to be used. So i chose to delete the
partition. Deleting was quite long, after wich the computer restated, and after that it only showed black screen.
The Windows DVD is still spinning, but nothing shows. Can't acces the BIOS (none of the keys work).
Tried:
- Hardware reset (battery out>hold power button fro 10-20 sec>put battery inside>start) - No change
- Put a Live Linux DVD to boot from it - No change
- Put a hirens boot cd - No change
- USB boot - No change
- Connect a external keyboard and tried accessing BIOS - Nothing happened
I would suffice with just gettng some of my data from him, and sending him to repair Can't tinker with harware, or it will void my varrancy
Please help. The problem is really urgent.

Hi,
It seems a hardware issue, you can first try to reset the CMOS - remove the cell battery from the motherboard for at least half hour, re-insert it, boot up. The BIOS settings should be reset to defaults. But for better solution, I
suggest you contact the manufacture.

Disk utility wont resize/add/delete a partition (HD is part of a raid)

I have two SSD set in a raid 0 in my MBP 15" late 2011 (Mountain Lion 10.8.2)
256gb Samsung
120gb Vertex 3
My Vertex 3 is partitioned into 2 parts
1. 70gb set in raid 0 with another 70gb partition in the Samsung
2. 50gb dedicated to Windows 7
My Samsung is partitioned in to 2 parts
1. 70gb set in raid 0 with the other 70gb partition in the Vertex 3
2. The rest of the space in this SSD is just for data storage.
The reason why I did it this way is a long story since it deals with issues in the optical bay SATA speed limitations so that's a different topic.
So here is my problem:
I have two 70gb partitions set in raid 0 between the two SSD's, the 50gb partition that was in the Vertex 3 dedicated to Windows. After a while I realized I dont use windows that much and wanted to erase that partition. Erasing it was easy, but now with the 50gb space left over I try to use disk utiility to divide the 50gb partition into 2 parts and it wont let me. The satus bar says "preparing to partition disk" for 30 minutes and it doesnt budge.
To make matters worse, I deleted that partition by clicking the minus sign on the lower right corner, and now that partition is completely greyed out. When I try to press the plus sign to add in the remaining free space in my Vertex 3, it wont let me. The satus bar says "preparing to partition disk" for 30 minutes again and it doesnt budge.
Does the 70gb raid partition in the Vertex 3 prevent disk utility from making further changes to the Vertex SSD? I am pretty familiar with disk utility and know my way around it but I have my hands tied in this situation. Please help!

Things I've tried:
1. Booting from an extenral HD with Moutain Lion and trying to use DIsk Utility to make changes to the Vertex 3 partition, same thing occurs (it hangs for 30 minutes with no progress).
2. After I deleted the 50gb partition from the Vertex 3, it is now greyed out. Now when I try to press the add sign in disk utility to add back that 50gb empty greyed out space to make it for free storage (choosing Mac OS Extended, journaled), SAME THING HAPPENS.
It seems as though once I deleted that partition from the Vertex 3, that 50gb space is now totally unuseable!
By the way, I dont have filevault activated if that info helps at all to diagnose it.

My MacBook Pro encounters an error when partitioning for loading windows using Bootcamp Assistant. I deleted the partition that was there in order to upgrade to Bootcamp 5 but now I am struggling to get Bootcamp 5 to complete the job. Help please.

I am struggling to Partition my MacBook Pro using Bootcamp 5, can someone help, please. I previously had successfully loaded Windows 7 running Bootcamp 4 on the same machine. When I upgraded to Windows 8 I started encountering problems. My trackpad would not work and it required me to load Bootcamp 5" as I was running 32 bit this is not supported by Bootcamp 5 I had to completely delete the previous partition, but now I can't repartition as it goes halfway and says an error has been encountered and Bootcamp cannot partition this drive.
I do not know how to defragment the drive in Apple as I can in windows nor can I clean it up to maybe get everything in neat clusters, maybe somebody can help me solve this problem.

Sorry Bobthefisherman, this was not helpful. I had already gone through these pages before coming to you. What I have discovered however is that when Bootcamp Assistant deleted the partition, it did not create a single volume but created three partitions instead which maybe the reason why it cannot create the new part ion parameters I am asking it crate. So I took it to the geniuses at Apple who suggested that I reformat the drive and reload everything again! and this might solve the problem. We'll all know whether this is helpful once it finishes the formatting of the hard drive. This process is taking a very long time to complete so I am leaving it overnight for it to complete. I will keep you updated on progress. I am also told that Apple is struggling with Windows 8 drivers and I may not be able to use that, so I am going back to Windows 7 even though I was beginning to like windows 8 very much.

Tried to install XP Pro, Deleted Restore Partition, Now Lenovo 3000 = Useless Paperweight

I ordered a Lenovo 3000 K100 57068347 from TigerDirect back in April with the intention of using it as a remote help desk workstation and a virus definition 'server'...
Well anyway, it shipped with Vista Home Premium, and I was much more interested in having XP on it for obvious reasons.
Last night, I attempted to install XP by booting off an XP Pro SP2 volume install CD. Everything was going well until it tried to load the HDD controller drivers and the install bluescreened -- I've had this experience with other Lenovos in the past and I know just to disable ACHI and set it to "compatible" IDE mode and it will work.
This time, all the drivers loaded without a problem, and the install began. I got to the screen where you choose the partition to install, and I chose to delete the first 2, and leave the restore partition alone. I wanted a clean XP install with as much HDD space as possible while still leaving me a parachute instead I needed to restore to factory default.
Problem was, once the system rebooted to continue the XP install, I got a "cannot read from disk -- press ctrl-alt-del to restart" in BIOS. No matter how many different ways I tried to configure the ATA options in the BIOS, I kept either getting a blue screen (when in ACHI mode) or the message above (when configured any other way).
Like an idiot, I thought -- "hey, maybe the restore partition is causing some conflict" and in haste, I deleted that partition too, thinking "there's no way I can't get a XP install on this totally clean drive." Well of course you know by virtue of me posting this message that didn't solve anything, and I kept getting the "cannot read from disk -- push ctrl-alt-del to restart" message.
So I decided... might as well use the restore DVD that came with the system and start over. This is where I started to hit the roof..... I booted off the LENOVO-PROVIDED VISTA SYSTEM RESTORE DVD, and when I got to the "choose a disk/partition to install to," I selected the now clean 298gb partition, and clicked next.
Imagine my shock and horror when the install gave me an error that "Windows cannot find a suitable volume to install." Keep in mind, I'm staring a brand new clean 298gb partition in Windows install, and it's telling me it cannot find a suitable volume to install to. At the bottom, there was another error message that said (paraphrased) "This system may not be able to boot off the selected disk." This makes me think again that it doesn't have the correct driver to boot off the disk.
I tried it in ACHI mode, IDE compatible mode.... again trying every possible combination to get it to work. Nothing. Then I remembered -- "Ahh the Vista driver pack CD" that also came with the restore DVD. Pop that in, choose "load driver" for the disk, scan the entire CD, NOTHING....
So, to make a long story longer, I now have a $500 Dual Core 1.6ghz 3gb 300gb paperweight sitting under my desk. I can't boot off and install using the XP CD, I can't boot off and install using the Lenovo restore DVD, and I can't even boot off and install Vista Ultimate off a DVD that I had.
Can anyone tell me:
1) What the hell drivers do I need to make the XP install work? I would REALLY like XP above all else.
2) Why the hell doesn't the Lenovo system restore DVD work? Why would Vista not be able to boot off and install the disk when it's the manufacturer-provided disk to restore your system to factory state??
3) (more of a side note) Why does my serial number display as "invalid" in BIOS and also as "invalid" when I attempt to enter it on the Lenovo support site? This scares the hell out of me -- if I call, they're probably just going to tell me it's invalid. Can I get support from ANYWHERE with this issue? I'm not very happy with Lenovo at this point (but I'm just looking for a scapegoat to blame my own haste on)
Help!!

My apologies for the frustration that you have felt with your system. I just want to let you know that this is not a normal experience and I will help as much as possible to get you back towards having a working system. My experience with these boxes is rather limited since we do not normally see many escalations on them here but I will do my best to answer your concerns/issues.
1) The support site is still segmented a bit for the Lenovo IdeaCentre and Ideapad systems. For your K series desktop you have to go here to get drivers/support docs. All the available drivers should be downloadable from this link. Unfortunately I don't see any XP Drivers listed for that system however. You may have to locate drivers from the chipset manufacturers sites themselves if you want to go with a retail copy of XP. I've also found that the latest service pack for XP contains updates to many drivers and may contain the ones you need.
2) Your Recovery CD set should work. Have you tried booting off of the first CD? What errors are you encountering?
3) have you recently had anything that could have wiped out the BIOS settings? I'm curious because normally the machine type and serial are loaded from the factory.
4) For your XP Installation it appears that you got all of the XP files installed on the drive but when you rebooted it then lost site of the HDD? Is it seen in the BIOS? If so you may just have a Master Boot record that got scrambled. You can run FDISK /MBR using a XP Boot diskette and that should fix the issue if that is the source. You'll know its fixed if you get the xp logo soon after you reboot.
I would suggest that you contact the Consumer support line and get the system serviced ASAP. They can get the serial number loaded properly, fix the startup sequence problem it appears your having, and get the system reloaded properly.
You can contact them at 1-877-453-6686

How do I delete a partition that was created in Bootcamp?

I installed XP on my MBP using Bootcamp a while ago, and recently erased all the data on the partitioned drive. I have the second partition doing nothing and would just rather delete it.
I have been told that I need to use Bootcamp to delete the partition, but everytime I load bootcamp it says:
The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.
I cant even get into bootcamp, what should I do? Do I need to do something in Disk Utility?
Thanks in advance.
Chris

Yeah I find using the Boot Camp utility is much easier. Open Applications and find the Utilities folder and open that. Then find and open the utility called "Boot Camp Assistant". It will walk you through the process of restoring the drive to a single partition -- it's real easy.

Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Cannot delete bootcamp partition/free space on HD (OS X Mavericks)

I am having trouble removing a bootcamp partition made a while ago. I thought removing this partition would be as simple as using disk utility to delete the partition, and extend the Macintosh HD partition back to its original size.
However, after clicking the minus sign using disk utility I am now left with 51.24GB free space where the bootcamp partition used to be and cannot seem to do anything to bring the hard drive back to one single partition.
I have tried using boot camp assistant, which is useless. I have to tick either "Install Windows 7" or "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple", and when I click to install windows 7 (which below says it can be used to remove an existing windows partition), it only lets me re-size the Windows partition to a smaller 20GB size. It does not give me the option to remove the partition like it says it does on the first page and like I have seen on examples online (which I am sure are from previous OS X versions).
I have tried going to disk utility when booting from the recovery disk, however this does not give me the option to erase the entire disk then start again from a time machine backup; it only gives me the option to erase my current 268.48GB Macintosh HD partition, which wouldn't be any use.
I have verified the disk and all seems ok. I am running OS X 10.9.1 on a mid 2010 Macbook Pro. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Memory.
Any help appreciated as I am running low on HD space on my mac and the extra 50 GB that I can't seem to free up would be very useful.

This will install the default version of OS X that came with your computer if it came with Lion or later. If it came with Snow Leopard, then you must do this instead:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Probook 4510s will not boot

I have a Probook 4510s that I got from work. I ordered the original CD's and loaded the OS and drivers. I was getting it set up for my church and had all the software installed. I wanted to remove the Credential Manager so that there wasn't 2 icons on the opening screen and removed it through Control Panel/Program and Features/Uninstall. When I rebooted after the install, the laptop does not recognize the CD Drive or hard drive and does not boot up. In the BIOS set up, I matched the options with another computer of the same model that is working. it now acts like it is reading the CD, but still doesn't boot. The only difference between the 2 is that there are 2 entries missing for HP Quick Look and Prebooth Authentication on HP Quick Look. And there are no devices in the boot order.
I tried moving an already imaged hard drive from another Probook of the same model and it doesn't read that hard drive either. Is there a way to recover or have a damaged my motherboard?

I assume you mean it won't boot from the Recovery cd? Since this is a business class laptop I would suggest posting in the Probook specific forum where they should know more about Credential Manager on business machines and if there is a solution to resolve this.

Deleting a partition in Lion OSX

Now I am happy with LION I wish to delete a partition I previously set up for older documents, etc.
I can see ERASE in DISK UTILITY but the partition remains.
How do I completely delete a partition so that I only have the single partition on my new 27" iMac?
I searched Forums and Support but no luck: my poor digital litercy skills failed me again :-(
Thank you.
Michael

Select the Disk (not the Volume), highlight the partition to remove, and click [-], then drag the slider to resize the other volume (note that re-sizing only works if the volume to delete is below the volume to remain)

I can't delete a partition from my Hard Drive using Boot Camp!!??!!

Hello. Earlier today I installed Windows 8 to my iMac using boot camp and creating a partition. I've decided I don't like it, and want to remove it. I cannot delete the partition!! Help!!

How are you trying to delete it? What happens when you try? There is only one way to remove a Bootcamp partition and return your drive to a single OSx partition, use Bootcamp Assistant and choose the menu option to remove Windows.
