HP pavilion dv6-3143cl notebook pc running windows 7 home premium. How do I empty recovery disk D?
Is there a tutorial on how to do this anywhere?
Hi,
Just so that I'm certain, do you mean you want to remove the Recovery Partition?
If that's correct, see the HP document on the following link.

Hellooo Apple Community!
I'm trying to install iTunes on my computer running Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm not sure if iTunes is compatible with my computer operating system because when I try to install it, it says the installation is completed but it says there was an error so it won't let me get itunes! Can someone please tell me if iTunes can be downloaded and installed on "Windows 7 Home Premium" and if so, how?! I need iTunes asap, I have an iphone 4 running ios 6.1.3. Please get back to mee!!
Thankyou thankyou thankyou!
Natalie.I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode. Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed. I forget what those tests were called.
I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides. -

Replacing Motherboard on HP Media Center PC running Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)
Running OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) on an HP Pavilion Media Center m8226x Desktop PC. Replacing motherboard ASUS M2N68-LA Motherboard 6150SE HP Narra2-GL8E with an MCP61PM-HM (Nettle2) motherboard due to failure. Both boards have same chipset and form factor. Can I just replace board without reinstalling windows? Do I need to install new drivers? I don't have an install CD or install key, would Microsoft provide a key if needed? Is there a link I can reference for MB replacement/ install?
Thanks for you assistance!

This question was solved.
View Solution.The OEM license is tied to the original motherboard version, ie M2N68-LA. You lose the OEM "rights" when you changed the board.

How to install HP Deskjet 990cxi on my new laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium on an AMD 64
I have spent two days trying to install my excellent HP Deskjet 990cxi on my new laptop running Win7 Home Premium on an AMD 64-bit processor. I want to do two things:
to set the printer up to run direct from a USB port on my laptop. Having done this, I then want
to set the printer up on BT Home Hub Type 2A, connected through the hub's USB, as a network computer.
So far under windows, this has proved a huge problem. It seems that the printer settings file is in 32-bit, but in the attempt to install the printer through the Windows "add printer" in Devices and Printers, and after a Windows update on the program to find Deskjet 990c, I run into a brick wall with the printer failing to install. I get the following message: "Printer driver was not installed. Access is denied ". Yet I am loading the printer drivers as Administrator.
By contrast, I also run Ubuntu 11.04 linux on this computer under Windows.
Ubuntu loaded the 990cxi drivers in an instant when it was connected via USB to the laptop; and more importantly,
Ubuntu set the printer us as a network printer running off the BT Home Hub type 2A and it worked perfectly. I even tested it by sending a graphics file from my garden to the printer indoors and the quality was perfect.
So the observation is this: If Ubuntu can load both printer settings on the same laptop, why is Windows 7 such a trial? Can HP do anything about this?

HP Pavilion A1429.UK - No Sound On Windows 7 Home Premium
Hey folks, got a wee problem.
I have recently put Windows 7 Home Premium onto my computer. The install worked perfectly but every time I install the drivers for the X-120 speakers that came with the computer, after a few hours it disable itself and no sound plays. And I have to Re-Install the drivers each time this happens.
What can I do to stop this happening and to stop me installing the driver each time the computer disables the driver?Your PC has not been certified by HP for Windows 7 or VISTA. Putting that aside, I suspect the sound driver needs an update. Go to www.realtek.com and look for a newer driver. Why do you need speaker drivers since the on board audio should do the job?
Go to Device Manager and look for yellow exclamation points, yellow question marks or red Xs.
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.

Every time I turn on my PC I get a box saying 'AppleSincNotifier has stopped working'. My operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium. How do I fix this?
Hello janemacq,
If you are getting an error about a component of the Apple software not working on your Windows machine, you may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling the Apple software, as outlined in the following article:

X201 running Windows 7 Home Premium problem with wireless network adaptor
my x201 shows that my wireless is on and my wireless network is available. it keeps trying to connect but is not able to hold a connection (continuously trying and failing). i'm on windows 7, 32 bit, home premium. i downloaded the latest update for the intel wireless today but it's still not working. any ideas?
1) This could be a software problem, so try to uninstall the Wireless card software, and reinstall.
2) If that fails, then try to do an OS reinstall.
3) If OS reinstall fails, then it is a hardware problem, which most likely you need it replaced (if you are under warranty, then call the warranty support, if not then you can source a Lenovo branded wireless card for your machine).

How do I add additional internal hard drives to Pavilion h8-1217c running Windows 7 Home Premium
I am stymied in my effort to utilize two recently wiped and formatted Hitachi Deskstar 500 GB SATA drives I inherited from my previous HP desktop. I have installed them in my aforementioned unit, and find that the BIOS apparently accurately identifies them, but I cannot see them in Windows. Instead, in Disk Management, a disk with twice the capacity is listed, and the system does not allow me to initialize the drives, an apparent step necessary before they can be assigned a drive letter and utilized. Upon selecting to initialize, the Disk Management program of Windows presents an Virtual Disk Manager error message saying "The system cannot find the file specified," a message the specificity of which is slightly wanting. Huh? What system? Windows? The drive? Help? BTW, this particular frustration is well documented among a number of users on the internet. Why has no answer been provided yet?
Don't know what you mean about a link indicating this is an issue with the HP Pavilion h8-1217c...I posted that it is a general issue with a number of computers, many of them HP, wherein the error message I earlier cited came up. To answer your particular subsequent query, in Storage Options in my BIOS, it states that the SATA Emulation is AHCPI, not IDE...a setting I believe is appropriate in this case, since, as I had stated previously (I often find that I have stated, and clearly, previously) that the two additional drives I have installed in this box are Hitachi Deskstar 500GB SATA drives from a previous HP system. Both drives were wiped and reformatted by a local computer shop that was delighted to charge me $60 for that particular piece of heavy lifting, defending their bill by suggesting they woudl have to update the firmware as a matter of course. Upon getting the drives, they freely confessed that, of course, it was NOT necessary to upgrade firmware. I di-grease! To reiterate, both drives are recognized by the BIOS, with their appropriate ser no listed. It is in Windows 7 where the problem seems to crop up. Of course, as a Windows 7 issue, HP is supposed to support it. An earlier post in this forum...a reply to me...gave me a link to instructions on how to disengage the cage that holds the drives. I have, indicated by my posts, moved WELL beyond that point. Is anyone familiar with my issue...again, it is this...with the above stated conditions, when in Disk Management in Windows, with the drives recognized in Device Manager as one drive listed as "Volume_000," I am faced with an immediate pop up box telling me to initialize the drive, either as MBR or GPT. I chose MBR, though it matters not which I choose, since upon clicking OK, another popup box identified as "Virtual Disk Manager" tells me that "The system cannot find the file specified."
This delightful cul de sac is frequently cited on the internet, with no clear answer as to a resolution anywhere that I could find. Can someone help with this. This ought not to be so difficult, nor should HP be sending me around the bend, making ludicrous statements like "you should not be adding internal drives to your computer" or "we cannot cover this issue unless you pay a fee!" A FEE!! I just bought this system within the last three months. I have purchased several desktop and laptop systems and their accessories from this computer giant in the last 7 years! Do they give a flying-you-know-what about their customers? -
I/O device error when trying to backup system image on my K330B running Windows 7 Home Premium
I set up my Idea Centre K330B to schedule complete system backups to an external HDD once a week. This worked fine for three months, then about a month ago a scheduled backup failed due to "device error encountered with either the source or the destination (0x8078012D)". It also gave "Additional information: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. (0x8007045D)"
I ran chkdsk/r on both the backup drive ( E: ) and the system drive ( C: ) and no problems were found. The backup drive has plenty of available space. I tried the backup to a freshly NTFS-formated external drive. I tried the backup with my BitDefender 2012 Anti-virus disabled. I tried the backup after booting in safe mode. Nothing works.
If I specify to backup only C: and not the reserved partition the backup completes with no problems.
I get the same error condition whether I perform the backup with Windows or the Lenovo backup software.
Is it possible I have a disk corruption on the reserve partition that is not found and repaired by the chkdsk/r C: operation?
I'm thinking about saving all important user files and rebooting to the factory settings, but if the reserver partition is damaged I might end up with a dead 4-month-old PC.
I would greatly appreciate any help or advice as to how to get these backups going again.I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode. Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed. I forget what those tests were called.
I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides. -
On the occasions when the windows fail to restore, I usually see a blank start page with something to the effect of "about:restore" or "about:restore session" in the URL line. I've tried pressing enter, but it didn't help. Other times, I've immediately tried going to the History menu, but the "Restore Previous Session" menu pick is faded out. I followed the help posted here to activate the restore windows feature, but the windows still fail to restore most of the time. I'm not a techie, so I'd really appreciate some easy to understand help.
The DMP file is inconclusive. You could run driver verifier to find the underlying issue but WPR is often easier.
In order to diagnose your problem you will need to download and install the below
Install the WPT (windows Performance Toolkit)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652
Help with installation (if needed) is here
When you have, open an elevated command prompt and type the following
WPRUI.exe (which is the windows performance recorder) and check off the boxes for the following:
First level triage, CPU usage, Disk IO.
If you problem is not CPU or HD then check off the relevant box/s as well (for example networking or registry) Please configure your as per the below snip
Click Start
It will reboot 3 t imes and record the data to a file and tell you its name and location.
Zip the file and upload to us on Onedrive (or any file sharing service) and give us a link to it in your next post.
These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver).
Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.
If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't
know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
Since it is more likely to be a driver please run verifier first.
1-Driver verifier (for complete directions see our wiki here)
If verifier does not find the issue we can move on to this.
2-Memtest. (You can read more about running memtest here)
