Hardware not recognized when installed via an image

In our labs we use a lot of computers with various NI cards in it. All the computers are the same. The installation of the computers is done via an image over a network. When a new image is loaded, the hardware in the PC is not recognized, even if the computer configuration is exactly the same as on the image. An administrator has to log in every single computer, to run MAX. How can this be done automatically?

Hello sillyprimate
As I understand it you wish to get your 128gb SSD to be recognized by your HP Pavilion dv6-7029wm. Unfortunately, as per the HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment PC Maintenance and Service Guide for your computer located here your computer supports only the 160-GB drive SSD. This would be why it is not being recognized by your computer.
I hope this helps resolve your issue. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • [SOLVED]Hard Disk not recognized when installing

    Hey all, I'm just starting with Arch and I've had some trouble installing it on my Acer netbook.
    My first installation went well except that I had forgot to download the wireless tools so I decided to do a fresh install as I had no access to a wired connection at the time.  The second installation attempt must have had some error on my part as Arch failed to start after selecting it from Grub, saying that the kernel was not available/not recognized.
    Now my subsequent attempts at installing have failed because the hard disk is not recognized when running either cgdisk or cfdisk.  Instead of showing my hard drive partitions after running
    cfdisk /dev/sda
    it shows my usb drive. If I instead use
    cgdisk /dev/sda
    it displays an error saying that the disk is damaged or not recognized.  When I first saw this I thought my disk was failing, so I tried #! to see if it would show the same error, but it was able to recognize the entire disk and install correctly.  Now, even after having the entire disk formatted as ext4 with #! installed, cgdisk is still giving me the same error about a damaged disk.
    Am I doing something incorrectly or is there a fix for this?  I haven't been able to find any information about this after a good while of searching.
    Thanks for your help.

    srs5694 wrote:The cgdisk "damaged disk" error is probably a result of the tool seeing an MBR partition table on your USB flash drive, rather than the GPT disk it's expecting. If I'm right, you should not follow s1ln7m4s7r's advice, since that will simply trash your USB flash drive!
    If you mean by trashing the USB flash drive, that it will delete all data and partitions on the selected drive it is correct, because:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/$disk bs=4096 count=1
    - this will delete all partition-table data
    sgdisk -o /dev/$disk
    - this will clear out all data. This includes GPT header data, all partition definitions, and the protective MBR.
    /dev/$disk
    - this will make you enter ncurses-based GUID partition table (GPT) manipulator, where you can create new partitions
    You should only do this if you are certain of what disk it is.
    Now if when you said this, you were meaning it will became broken, then it may be a special kind of usb drive because i've donne it many times and i've not broken any.
    srs5694 wrote:My guess is that either your hard disk has become /dev/sdb (this can happen in some cases; disk identifiers aren't really fixed) or you're missing a driver for your hard disk controller because you've booted a different kernel or a different initrd file. Another possibility is that there's a hardware fault -- probably a loose cable -- that's preventing the kernel from seeing the disk.
    If the usb drive is not where you installed arch, then you need to find if there are more recognized drives:
    lsblk | grep disk
    And see the uuid of the root partition you want, and add it to your bootloader boot line:
    blkid /dev/sdxx

  • Serial number not recognized when installing.

    I bought Acrobat Standard XI off the Adobe website.  When installing the serial number is not recognized.  The drop down box for selecting which product I bought has a selection for Standard X but not Standard XI. 

    Hi brabski
    The download link is for the retail version installer so if you do have a volume license then you need to download the installation files from
    https://licensing.adobe.com/.
    Below is the link to contact for support:

    Please reply for any assistance.

  • "User Not Recognized" when installing UPK with Windows Authentication

    Hi all,
    When installing UPK Server with Windows Authentification mode, everything work fine until when the installer starts populating the Library. I get an error message saying "User is not recognized. Please enter a valid administrator user name and password. Click OK to enter another name or click Cancel to stop the upgrade process."
    I tried using "my current Window account" and different Windows account when asking to give a default Developer admin login during the install but I still get the same message.
    I might be forgeting something this time since I have installed UPK tones of times and never got this error.
    Many thanks.

    Hello,
    Thank you!! After much testing and environment and OS changes, I found out that I totally forgot my Windows administration from over 7 years ago on a security feature that Microsoft put into their OS's. If you are using a friendly DNS name to publish to your clients (instead of them typing in the server name as the URL) and you want to utilize Windows authentication, a registry entry will need to be entered in order for the OS to be allowed to pass the windows auth through to that URL as well.
    Example registry entry:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0]
    "BackConnectionHostNames"=hex(7):
    KB Article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861
    In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0
    Right-click MSV1_0, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.
    Type BackConnectionHostNames, and then press ENTER.
    Right-click BackConnectionHostNames, and then click Modify.
    In the Value data box, type the host name or the host names for the sites that are on the local computer, and then click OK.

  • Disabled ipod not recognized when plugged back in to itunes.

    Daughter's disabled ipod (second time) is not recognized when we follow instructions to enable it and plug into itunes.

    HT1808 is the article you need to follow. You need the section labeled "Placing the device into recovery mode."
    You need to power the device off. Once the device is off press and hold the Home button or the button on the front of the device and while holding the Home button plug in the device and continue holding the home button until you see the image below.

  • Mac App Store not recognizing previously installed Apple applications

    Mac App Store is not recognizing previously installed Apple applications (Aperture 3; iLife'11; iWorks'09) as already purchased and installed. These were installed either via download from the Apple Store or from install discs. Prior to the 10.6.7 update, at least some of these applications were recognized as already installed by the Mac App Store. This is no longer the case.

    However, it now says that the software that came with my Mac Book Air (iLife) and other software must be re-purchased!
    No, it doesn't say you must re-purchase them. You can continue to use those apps as they are. There is no requirement for you to re-purchase them. If you wish to have lifetime updates, you can purchase the version on the app store which will give you that. However, you still have the same license to use those bundled apps the same as everyone else.
    This is wrong, at least for the Mac Book Air 2010 and forward purchases because of Mr Jobs announcement back in October.
    What did he say that makes you think that?
    No! Apple must make good on this. Why should Apple give me iLife with an MBA and tell me that I'm getting an App Store and then deny those software to be excluded from being "installed"? This is wrong.
    No, you are wrong. You received the standard bundled apps that were bundled with every other Mac. The App store only reports on apps actually purchased from the app store (apparently correctly, now). Your bundled apps were not purchased from the Mac App Store. They were bundled with your Mac.
    Apple reps (you guys here)
    They are not, at least the ones you wish to talk to.
    MUST escalate this issue for computers/software purchased from that October announcement and understanding.
    Why? You didn't buy a "Mac App Store" bundle with your Mac. As I explained above, you received applications bundled with your Mac. They still work. You have not been cheated in any way.

  • Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer

     Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer, And when Installing network printers from the domain controller it reports it cannot connect to printer.  I can ping all
    network devices. I can connect to the internet.
    On boot I get a netlogon 5719 error followed by service control manager errors 7023,7001 and a group policy error 1129.
    Clients can connect to the remote application and RDP operates to connect to the server internally and externally.
    The domain controller is another server 2008r2 box. I have scoured the internet but have not found any solutions that work yet.

    Hi,
    After referring to your post, it can be identified that the issue which you are facing is mostly due to some network issue in your environment. Please recheck your network connection issue between computer and domain controller. 
    Can you able to ping with IP address and also with fully qualified name of a domain controller in the users' and computers' domain. If it fails states that name resolution issue with computer and domain controller. Are you using MS DHCP Relay agent then there’s
    available Hotfix for the particular Event ID. Please go through this KB 2459530 to fix the error event ID.
    As per the net logon error 5719 which you are facing states that the client component of Netlogon was unable to locate a DC for the domain it was trying to perform an operation against. Below is one of the reason. If this is being logged on a DC and the event
    refers to the DC's own domain, something might be preventing the client component of Netlogon from starting a network session (to itself or to another DC in the domain). The following event 7001 & 7023 states start & stop operation service. Please
    go through beneath article for more details.
    1.  Event ID 5719 is logged when you start a computer
    2.  Netlogon 5719 and the Disappearing Domain [Controller]
    3.  Event ID 1129 — Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
    Hope it helps!

  • "USB Hardware Not Recognized by Windows"

    Please help. I keep getting an error mssage "USB Hardware not Recognized by Windows" I believe i have tried it all. Uninstalled Itunes. Reinstalled Itunes.
    Okay I just tried pluggin it in as I typed this and it worked. The only thing I did diffrent was I unplugged my External Back-up drive.
    Is this Common? Can anyone help explain this to me?

    I have a combo floppy drive/USB 2.0 card reader and I believe I have the same problem.
    I'm not over-clocking and while USB shows up in WinXP in device manager the card reader is not recognized by the system even though I KNOW I have it connected correctly.  The floppy works fine.
    I believe the 4 USB ports on the mobo are non-functional but can't test it until Thursday sometime.
    Hopefully this is correctable with a BIOs update.
    Anyone else have issues with the USB ports on the mobo and if so, were you able to fix it?  How?

  • CS3 Postscript fonts not visible when Installed with Suitcase 11.0 Vista Ult64

    CS3 Postscript fonts not visible when Installed with Suitcase 11.0 on Vista Ultimate 64bit.
    Truetype and Opentype work fine. I have searched through all the forums here multiple times, but not found a solution. The only workaround I found was to manually put the font files in c:/ProgramFiles(x86)/CommonFiles/Adobe/Fonts.
    When I put any font files in that folder, they show up in CS3 for use, but not in windows apps. I thought I would make a permanent work around by placing all of my uninstalled font files in that folder, then use suitcase to install them from there. That didn't work because EVERY font in that folder is available to CS3 and turned on. Do they get installed when you put them in there?? It didn't seem like they were installed, and windows apps didn't see them.
    These are workarounds anyway. My main goal is to have suitcase work so I can organize my fonts efficiently. Extensis blames the font and CS3. I have read that there are adobe issues with other font management software as well as suitcase. Any help would be appreciated.

    Got mine FIXED here is what i did:
    Windows 7 64bit SP1, CS 5
    Postscript fonts (comprising of *.pfb + *.pfm files) did not show up in any CS5 app, but showed OK in Word, Excel, Notepad etc.
    Tried  activating through Suitcase Fusion 2 and also through FontExpert 2009 -  but neither of them made the fonts visible in CS5 apps
    1) open Start Menu/Control Panel/Fonts
    2) on the sidebar there is "Font settings" item
    3) set the settings as i did
    [    ]  Hide fonts based on language settings
    [ x ]  Allow fonts to be installed using a shortcut (advanced)
    FIXED mine,
    now i can use Suitcase Fusion 2 to install any PFB/PFM fonts without any problems...
    PLEASE IF THIS WORKED FOR YOU TOO, LEAVE A MESSAGE HERE SO OTHERS KNOW IF THIS FIX IS 100% WORKING
