HP Pavilion dv5-1108ax, Windows Vista 32-bit: BIOS Boot Order does not see external eSATA HDD

I am trying to run some Linux OS (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora) from my external USB 2.0/eSATA HDD on my laptop. I can boot from a USB connection but not from an eSATA connection. Is there any chance of updating the BIOS to support booting from eSATA? Is there something I am missing in the BIOS setup menu?

No the eSata port is not bootable.

Please Help! Problems with Windows Vista 32-bit on Boot Camp (Wireless/Etc)

We recently purchased a new aluminum Mac Book (13 inch) with Leopard (10.5.4). I attempted to install Boot Camp and Windows Vista 32-bit. I can successfully alternate between both operating systems with no problems. However, I am having 2 problems:
1) I cannot connect to wireless internet. No connections will even show up when I attempt to connect, its almost as if an adapter hasn't been installed.
2) I cannot set up the trackpad to do right click.
I've read articles everywhere and nothing has helped. Can anybody please help me??? Any support/advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
It appears that you may not have installed the boot camp drivers. Boot into Windows and insert your Leopard installation disk in the CD/DVD drive. This should automatically begin installation of the necessary drivers. Reboot the computer when instructed and all the hardware should work as designed.
The right click is accomplished by placing two fingers on the trackpad and then depressing the trackpad button. This should also work after the drivers are installed as instructed above.

My HP Pavilion a6357c with Windows Vista 32-bit freezes until the system warms up

Any time I start the computer up when it hasn't been used, the system fails to boot. It will freeze up in the process where I have to hold the "ON" button down to shut it down and then attempt to reboot. the system will freeze just about anywhere in the process. Sometimes I get to log in with my user name, and then the screen will freeze up. Sometimes trigger a blue screen, sometimes a black screen and then perform a hard disc diagnostic routine. Once whatever component warms up, the system works great.

I am not that familiar anymore with troubleshooting Windows XP, but way back in the day I seem to recall that the Windows recovery console would be used to fix issues like the one you're describing. It sounds like you may have a corrupted boot sector if it keeps going into the windows recovery mode. The solution could be as simple as using the last known good configuration or possibly doing a system restore. You may want to try this link on Technet that explains the recovery console and the tools available in it like fixmbr..

Worst case you may be looking at doing a reinstall of windows XP.

Sound Issue HP Pavilion Dv6000 OS:Windows Vista 32-bit

After setting my notebook up to record vocals from a P.A. the internal speakers and two headphone in jacks are making a continuous, fast paced popping noise. No changes were made to the sound card or operating system previously to setting up the computer to record. The only cable I plugged in to the computer to record was a line in to the microhpone jack from the P.A. which is a setup I use to record guitars as well and have had no previous issues. The guitar amp I line out of is 75 watt amp and the P.A. is 60 watts so I don't think any kind of overload is an issue as to what cause the noise. I set volumes down on everything as a fail-safe before powering on the P.A but soon after I turned it on the speakers started making the noise. I'm unsure of what went wrong exactly but I can only draw two conclusions, either the sound card is fried or the input jacks on the computer shorted out. I disconnected the internal speakers so I can still use the computer without sound. Any help would be greatly appreciated with determining what is causing the noise or how to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Windows 7 64 bit / HPE-010be Computer does not start up out of 'stand-by' mode

I had this problem several times since I bought this system last month.
I leave the PC normally in stand-by and then wake my system up by pushing a key on the keyboard.
In the case of the problem, I push a key on the keyboard, the system starts and I hear the fan and the drive running, but nothin appears on the screen for minutes.
The only way to get out is to force a full restart by pushing the power button for long time.
One thing I had one time that I did not force the full restart but waited for longer time. Half an our later I came back to my system and saw a full restart had happened.
In the log, I see:
Windows Operating System; Versie: 6.1.7600.16385; Id: 41; Gebeurtenisbron: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power;
Msoft relates this log-issue to bad power-off situation, but honestly all the cases I've had I cannot remember issues. It could be that my computer is causing such situations by itselve.
Anyone had this problem? Solutions?
This question was solved.

Patrick,
What BIOS level are you running on your PC? What model NVIDIA video card are you using? If it's the 220 then try this HP NVIDIA video card update.
Try this procedure:
Unplug the PC and open it up.Clean out all the dust. Carefully remove and replace all the cables going to the motherboard one at a time. Do the same for the memory dimms and the video and sound cards if you have any. Plug your PC back in a give it a go.

Iphone 4s. Windows 8.1 hp laptop. Itunes does not see my phone when I plug it in or launch itunes. My other computer sees it no problem, Is there compatibility issues with win 8.1 and itunes? Very frustrating...

Need help getting itunes to recognize my 4s, my older other computers have no issues. I have hp 2000 with windows 8.1..

That didn't work for me....I have done every concievable action to resolve this....now I am getting pissy......Went through all the suggestions on the support page....I am going absolutely nuts here, uninstall, reinstall, set this default to that....NO ONE KNOWS WHY THIS IS HAPPENING OR IT WOULD BE ADDRESSED ALREADY!!!!!!
Sitting right next to my new laptop is the old one that started out with XP on it. Has Win7 and itunes fires right up. I called my brother, he doesn't have apple products. He just bought a new laptop and did the 8.1 upgrade and guess what? Itunes still won't recognise my 4S....
ANY FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREAT. However, keep in mind I have done everything except throw the laptop and the phone.....
IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!!!!!!!

Hello BRDGDD,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are having issues using your Blu-Ray Player on your HP Pavilion Elite e9140f running Windows Vista. I am going to approach this from a couple different directions.
First, we are going to try to put back the original drivers that came with your computer using the HP Support document: Performing a Software Application or Driver Recovery (Windows Vista), which will walk you though using the HP Recovery Manager to restore the original drivers on your computer.
Second, if you are still not able to use the Blu-Ray Player we are going to try using the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows Vista), which we will use to roll your system back to a point in time where your Blu-Ray player worked. This will not affect your personal files, but it will affect any applications you have installed between now and the date you choose and any settings you have changed during the same time. These will have to be re-installed and/or re-changed.
Lastly, if you are still not able to install the software or are still not able to use your Blu-Ray Player I am going to suggest you back up any personal files, bookmarks and such to a USB drive or something and then follow the HP Support document: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows Vista), which will walk you through recoverying your computer back to factory settings.
***NOTE: Be warned you will loose everything so ensure you backup what you want to keep!
If none of the above work and your still having issues it appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contacted HP technical support for repair options.
US support link to contact options for HP products purchased in the US.
Outside of US support link to contact options for HP products purchased outside the US.

Help with compatibility of photosmart printer 7760 and Windows Vista 64 bit

Just purchased an HP Pavilion dv5-1150us OS Vista 64 bit,. I have a HP photosmart photo printer model 7760. I did not use the disc that came with the printer to install the printer. Instead I downloaded the needed driver for vista from HP, However, doing so has left me with a printer that prints in a normal mode only, and I do not have any printing software anymore. I cannot change the resolution of the printing for photos where I would want best or max dpi, and have lost all editing and printing options. Is there any way in which I can install the software for the printer and make it work with vista? I was using it with windows XP SP2. and achieved fabulous results. The printer works well and is relatively new. I do not need another cheap printer for documents, which is what this has turned into when using it with my new laptop. Please help.

Hi,
bellow is the link for the latest software download for win vista :

Windows Vista 32-bit failing to start after successful recovery.

Hi all, my apologies if this has already been covered in another post, I did check but I'm new here so could've overlooked it.
I have a HP Pavilion a6442a running Windows Vista 32-bit. A couple of weeks ago it froze up, forcing me to maually shut it down, and now it will not restart. It gets so far, then goes straight to startup repair, which never seems to find any problems. I've tried system restore (to several different restore points), ran diagnostic tests, ran memory and hd tests, and tried starting up in every mode I could: no issues found anywhere and I still had the same problem. Finally I backed up my files and performed a full system recovery. It said that it completed successfully, I restarted to complete the Windows installation, it gets as far as "please wait a moment while Windows starts for the first time....", freezes there, then restarts and goes straight back to the startup repair screen.
I'm at a loss, I've done everything I can think of. Does anyone have any suggestions?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi:
Have you added any hardware to the stock configuration (other than replace the hard drive or add memory)?
Did you only have the mouse, keyboard and monitor plugged in when you ran the recovery procedure?
If yes, to question 1, remove any hardware you installed that did not come with the PC, and try recovering again.
If the PC successfully recovers, shut down and reinstall your aftermarket hardware.
If no, to question 2, disconnect anything other than the mouse, keyboard and monitor and try recovering again.
If you continue to be confounded, and you can read all 25 characters of the Vista product key on your PC's case, then you can make your own Vista installation media.
This will be just a plain Vista installation and no software other than the operating system will be included.
You can install any drivers and available software from your PC's support and driver page.
Link to info below...click on the blue Windows Reinstallation Guide PDF link and begin reading the Vista info which starts on page 296.

Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) Windows Vista does not see DVD-ram UJ-850s

Hi
I have a Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) with windows Vista. Windows Vista doesn't recognize the DVD-ram any more. The BIOS recognize the DVD-ram. I did try to download the DVD-ram drivers but they are not on the side of Toshiba.
Who can help me to get the right driver or know more? From the problems with the Mat****a DVD-ram uj-850s ATA device and windows Vista.

Hi
The CD/DVD drive does not need special drivers!!!
The Vista includes a Microsoft driver which works with all ODDs (CD/DVD drives)
Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.
Some questions; did you get any error messages? What is the device manager status? Do you see any yellow exclamation marks?
There is an old way to fix a similar drive issue. It worked under XP so try it on Vista OS.
Its necessary to update the registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
1. Click on the start menu.
2. If this is a Vista machine in the search box type in regedit without the quotation marks.
3. search the registry key mentioned above.
4. In the right panel youll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and LowerFilter you want to click on each filter key and hit delete. Click yes when it asks to confirm if you wish to delete the key.
5. Restart Windows.
6. Let me know if this works.

Windows 8.1 Setup DVD does not see SSD

Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 Setup DVD does not see Samsung SSD 840 Pro so cannot install Windows 8.1. The same SSD disk currently does have Windows 8 Enterprise and runs fine on the same laptop. Checked the Dell BIOS does see the SSD. Loaded the
latest drivers from the Dell website but did not help. Tried changing the BIOS settings from SSD to ACHI. When in setup did the SHIFT+F10 to run the DISKPART clean the partitions.
How do I troubleshoot why the Windows 8.1 Enterprise setup disc cannot see the SSD?

Hi,
According to your description, I would like to confirm if you can see SSD under the Diskpart.
If you can see the SSD under the Diskpart,I think it is related to the installation DVD.
I suggest we use a new installation DVD to test it.
Also, you can create a bootable USB flash drive, and then use the USB flash drive to install Windows.
Keep post.
