How do i reset my pavilion g7 with windows 7 laptop?

I need to reset my pavilion when I hit the F11 key nothing happens

Hi,
There are Two options to try and reinstall Windows - the 2nd is the easiest, but you may want to try the 1st to see if it will save you having to order a replacement set of discs - make sure to back-up any important files first.
1.  If you can still boot in to Windows, hold down the Windows Key and press R.  Into the Run Box type compmgmt.msc and hit enter.  Click Disk Management in the left pane and when the partitions have loaded, right click the Recovery Partition and mark it as 'Active'.  Close all open windows and then restart - if this has worked, the notebook will boot from the Recovery Partition upon restart.
2.  You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.

If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

  • HT1238 How would you reset a Ipod shuffle with windows 7

    Attempting to give my old ipod shuffle away and want to set it to factory settings with windows 7, is there a way to do this.

    Connect shuffle.  Run iTunes.  In the sidebar, select shuffle under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary or Settings tab (depends on shuffle model).  There should be a Restore button.  Click it to erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
    When it start up and connects to iTunes, decline to do anything that syncs music to the shuffle.  The new owner should be invited by iTunes on their computer to sync the shuffle to their computer's iTunes library, the first time it is connected.

  • My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

    My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

    Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.)  If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
    However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different.  You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).

  • How do I enable the blue function keys on an old Pavilion N5445 with Windows XP?

    Yes, how do I enable the blue function keys on an old Pavilion N5445 with Windows XP?
    The blue function keys currently do not work.
    There is NO mention of the function keys (or even action keys) in the BIOS.
    Let me repeat that so that nobody posts a stupid link to how to turn on the function keys in the BIOS. THIS IS AN OLDER LAPTOP.

    Somehow the function keys got turned off. So I suspect there's a way to turn them on again.

    HI Lukon:
    Thank you for your post.  I will do my best to assist you in this endeavor!

  • Getting my HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 back to normal after a system recovery.

    I did a system recovery for my HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 and have all of my files on a SanDisk thumb drive. How do I get my laptop's files, folders, shortcuts, applications, etc. all back to the way they were?

    Hello marinegf.  I understand you've lost your sound after performing a System Restore.
    What is the product number for your notebook?  There are many versions of the HP 2000 and this will make it easier for me to locate any appropriate software.  This document can show you how to identify the notebook by the product number.
    Also, it may be helpful to know what issue you encountered which led you to perform a System Restore.
    The first suggestion I can offer you is to run Microsoft's Audio Troubleshooter.  Here is a link to the utility.
    If the troubleshooter is unable to resolve the issue I suggest you next try removing the driver and allowing Windows to perform the reinstall.  I assume you're using Windows 7, so these instructions will be for Vista/7.
    Click Start, type "Device Manager," and press Enter.
    Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
    Right click on your audio device and select "Uninstall."
    Reboot your computer and allow Windows to perform the reinstallation of the driver.
    Verify whether or not you have sound and post the result!
    I'll keep an eye out for your reply.  I hope you have a great day!

    how to connetct macair with windows laptop using wifi

    m8,
    You might need to download the latest driver for your Dell Latitude(D600). PAN(personal Area Networking or Piconet) is just one of the profiles(device support/services) of bluetooth(SIG). Blue Soleil are only for that blutooth that uses that chips, like that of widcomm. Toshiba/HP laptops have updates for their bluetooth I can't see why Dell wouldn't have also. And check if the driver,is one that is known to work with Nokia phones.
    Good luck.

  • HP Advisor stops working on my Pavilion p6330f with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit system

    My computer is a  Pavilion p6330f  with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit system.  It bothers me when I get error messages and can't seem to correct the problem.  After loging onto my computer  a message comes on that the HP Advisor stopped working. When I attempt to load the HP Advisor it gives me the same message and does not come up. 

    HP Advisor-one of the first things I uninstall, flaky software.
    Have you tried the update for Advisor from your support & drivers page?

  • How can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

    how can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

    You can by placing a short cut in the windows startup folder, just like any other windows program.
    However if you do you are likely to encounter problems as downloading mail while the anti virus is still loading and the network is busy announcing your machines arrival to the network ( which might be a network of one) and any of a dozen other program are loading is fraught with risk of timeouts and server disconnections as well as error messages that make little sense because they are about something that is still loading.
    So the bottom line is sure you can, but if there are issues take it back out of there as a first step.

  • How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

    How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

    Ah, did you move your media files by hand? Often doing so will have broken the links from iTunes to them.
    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

  • How to use Time Capsule via INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB Cloud

    how to use Time Capsule via INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB Cloud

    Get a vpn router.. I have no idea where you are in the world but you can find reasonable stuff for not too much money or even a general router that takes third party firmware like dd-wrt can run openvpn. 
    Set up the vpn router in place of the TC, as the main router in the network. Simply bridge the TC and place it behind the router. It will be accessible as part of the network via the vpn.
    This is the only safe way to do it via windows.
    http://www.dyncommunity.com/questions/18132/accessing-time-capsule-from-windows- 7-over-the-int.html
    If you google around I have seen posts about how to access TC by port forwarding SMB on the TC.. using a different port.. To me this is going to slow down the hackers by a day or two.. then they will discover the open port and access your network.. not just the TC.. they now have SMB access to everything. Don't do it. There is very little security on SMB.

  • HT201320 I don't understand how to transfer my email contacts from my Windows laptop to my iPhone? What do I need to do?

    I don't understand how to transfer my email contacts from my Windows laptop to my iPhone? What do I need to do?

    Hey wahanz!
    In order to sync your Windows contacts to your iPhone, you will need to first create an iCloud account:
    Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436
    You will create the iCloud account on your iOS device, and when you do, don’t forget to turn on contact syncing in the initial setup. Then you will want to download the iCloud control panel for Windows onto your computer and install it:
    iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455
    Make sure that your contacts are in Outlook, as that is the supported way of syncing your contacts to iCloud, then make sure you have the contact syncing enabled in the iCloud control panel on your computer, and when the contacts have synced, they will be available on your iOS device! Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
