HP Pavilion g6-2101tu Notebook PC ,After BOIS update, Is HP Recovery Manager option available?

Hi,
I have recently installed BIOS and other drivers update through HP support assistent for the first time. During the installation a drive partition has been created with the name "HP_TOOL drive:f ".
I need your guidance for the recovery of system in the future and want to know about such partition which has been created automatically during update.
Eariler i have once recovered my system using tool which was provided by HP RECOVERY MANAGER through "esc + f11" keys. Hp recommands that we should not make any partition of drive in order to recover your system. if we make partition, we may lose system recovery through HP RECOVERY MANAGER.
I had 2 partition (Drive :c and Drive :d)of the drive by default from the begining when i have purchase my notebook but Now I have 3 (Drive: c,d,f).
Drive; c has system file while Drive: d has recovery and Drive: f contains HP_tool files.
"Please note thatI have not manually created any aprtition of drive till now."
My problems are as follows--
1. Is drive: f is a real partition of drive ?
2. Can i able to recover my system using my BIOS setting i.e esc + f11 key through HP RECOVERY MANAGER?
3. If i recover my system using HP RECOVERY MANAGER in future, i will have to download BIOS and drivers update again or what?
4: suggest me what should i do after BIOS update and with Drive:f to recover my system in the future?
My System details are as follows--
HP Pavilion g6-2101tu Notebook PC,
Product no. B6U26PA#ACJ
RAM - 2GB
Hard disk drive - 500 GB
Opreating System - Windows 7- 64 Bit Home Basic
Partition Drive :d - recovery.
Please give me a best response.,,,,,,,,,, Thanks

Yes, before Windows logo. At the first screen after powering on the machine tap Esc to bring up the Menu- same screen where you use Esc + F11 for Recovery.
Diagnostics is helpful many times in troubleshooting issues-such as testing memory or Hard drive.

Hello @pac-man ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand after running a system recovery from the recovery media you are unable to boot the PC, and get a BOOTMGR missing error.
Take a look through this guide for BOOTMGR troubleshooting: How To Fix BOOTMGR is Missing Errors. The guide contains all of the steps to take and describes how to do each of them in a manner that any level user can understand.
If none of that works, you will need to obtain a copy of the Windows installation and run your installer. Once installed it will add a new BOOTMGR and allow you to re-run the recovery to restore your pre-installed software. The only other option would be to contact HP Phone Support for service options. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Hopefully this helps!

HP Pavilion Elite e9220f crashing repeatedly after critical update

HP Pavilion Elite e9220f, Windows 7 64-bit.
Crashed on 5/9/13, wouldn't reboot. Freezed with blinking cursor in upper left corner of blank screen after HP splash screen.
Changed HD from RAID to IDE mode in BIOS and Windows started but crashed with blue screen on trying to install the IDE controller driver automatically after start-up. Blue screen crash codes indicated the hard drive controller was the source.
System Restore lists several critical updates for Windows over the last few weeks. I ran System Restore in safe mode to 5/4/13 restore point, then rebooted to safe mode for confirmation of restore, and it then booted normally and successfully installed the IDE controller driver, but then crashed again as soon as subsequent critical updates were reinstalled. Disabling Windows Update via services.msc then restoring to 5/4/13 again finally stabilized the system, able to use normally without crashing.
To try to solve the underlying problem preventing further critical updates and allow me to turn on Windows Update again, I found the firmware update on HP's site for the hard drive, WDC WD10EADS-65M2B0, from version B0 to BX. However, after updating the firmware to BX, Windows now crashes upon starting even still at restore point 5/4/13 or even all the way back to 4/28/13, and now before it can even attempt to install the IDE controller. In otherwords, updating the firmware made it worse. The system is again unsable.
Anyone else having this problem?

I agree that it is inexplicable, if that was indeed the case.
If the PC has a single drive, then it makes zero sense to use RAID mode. RAID is an acronym which stands for redundant array of inexpensive disks. The use of any form of RAID (0-5) requires a minimum of two physical hard disks.
AHCI and IDE are the only viable options with a single hard disk.
Did you make a backup or image of the hard disk?
What is the installed OS?
You will need to enable the SATA msAHCI driver in the operating system as this Microsoft document explains. Use the Microsoft Automated Fixit on the document to resolve the issue. It will take care of the registry change required. Afterwards you will need to enter the BIOS and verify the SATA mode is set to AHCI and if not, change it to AHCI before the next boot into Windows.

Product Name: HP Pavilion g6-2006tx Notebook PC... Require a recovery disk for Windows 7 Home Basic

Sir,
The recovery disk that was prepared for my Laptop has been corrupted and is not functioning. The laptop shows an error message as 'BOOTMGR.EXE is missing'. Whenever I use the disk, it starts off well but it stops after 13% of the installation is done. There is no recovery partition in my laptop as it was deleted after the recovery disk was burned.
All this started when I wished to format my Laptop and reinstall the operating system.
I donot wish to install any operating system other than my original supported WINDOWS 7 HOME BASIC. So, if you could send me a recovery disk of the same, it will be very helpful. Any other details required shall be provided.
Your hasty attitude in this matter would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Anuj Agarwal

Anuj.
This is the procedure for recovery disc's.

This is where you look to see if there is the option to order recovery disc's for your laptop.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5239...
NOTE: If you cannot find an "Order Recovery Media" section, select another operating system from the drop down list until you find a "Order Recovery Media" section or you determine that a Recovery Media section does not exist in any of the operating system selections. If you cannot find a Recovery Media section for your computer model, HP does not have a recovery kit available.
Sorry.

If apple bring out a new ipad after i purchase, is there an upgrade option available?

if i was to buy an ipad 2 today and in a months time the ipad 3 came out, would apple provide an upgrade option to upgrade to the new one??

They have never done so in the past, and I doubt that they would in the future. All that you've been able to do with Apple is return it for a full refund if it was within the returns timescale, and then buy a new one instead

Pavilion g6-1330EO: issues in performing a factory reset...recovery manager doesn't show up!

Hi, I wanted to do a factory reset of my notebook and tried to do it through recovery manager during startup(as I can't login to my system..seems OS corrupted or something) but i just don't get the recovery manager screen.
Here is what I do and what I see on the screen:
After pressing F11 - System recovery during startup, it takes me to a screen with a progress bar saying 'Windows is loading files...' then to another screen which says..'starting windows' and ends up in a screen with nothing but just the mouse pointer. No recovery manager window is shown at all.
Can somebody pl help me in letting know what could be wrong and how can it be fixed?
thanks!

Try testing the Hard Drive through the BIOS.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00439024&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3816360&tmp...
While you're there test everything else out.
If it doesn't allow you into the BIOS take the Hard Drive out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6agiCGktwA
Then try getting into the BIOS again.

HP PAVILION TX2000 ENTERTAINMENT NOTEBOOK PC ISSUES!!!

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.I BOUGHT A TX2000 LAPTOP A YEAR AND A HALF AGO.THE THOUGHT OF IT MADE ME HAPPY SINCE THIS LAPTOP COST MUCH AND I WAS ONE OF THE FEW WHO WAS ABLE TO BUY IT.AFTER A YEAR AND 2 MONTHS,IT SUDDENLY HANGED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WORK AND WON'T TURN ON.CONSIDERING THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY,HP DID NOT GIVE A HELL OUT OF MY QUESTIONS.SO I JUST CONSIDERED THAT MAYBE BECAUSE I OVER USED IT OR WHATEVER.BUT AFTER I READ COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME MODEL,I SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT IT IS NOT MY FAULT BUT THE FAULT OF THE COMPANY.
PROBLEM:AFTER TURNING THE MACHINE ON,FAN AND LIGHTS ARE ON BUT IT NOTHING WILL APPEAR ON SCREEN.
I TRIED PLUGGING IT TO A DIFFERENT MONITOR AND STILL NOTHING.THEN I REMEMBERED THAT NO MATTER HOW COLD THE PLACE OR ROOM WHERE I WAS USING THE MACHINE,THE HEAT OF THE LAPTOP KEEPS ON INCREASING!!!
TELL ME,IS IT THE CUSTOMER'S FAULT?I,TOGETHER WITH SOME WHO I AM SURE WILL SUPPORT ME, DEMANDS A RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT SINCE AS WE CONNECT STORIES,IT OCCURS AFTER USING IT FOR A YEAR.COINCIDENCE OR INTENTION???
PLEASE HP,IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE CUSTOMERS AND LOSE TRUST, PLEASE HEED THIS REQUEST OF MINE AND RECALL THE PRODUCT!!!
PRODUCT NAME:HP PAVILION TX2000 ENTERTAINMENT NOTEBOOK PC

I also have the tx2000 with nothing but problems. If you get the blank screen here is what you need to do:
Turn the computer off and flip it over. Blow dry through the vents on medium heat for about a minute. Keep the blowdryer moving. Wait a minute and then turn it back on. The heat from blow dryer warms up the chip and it will work again. I have to do this every once in a while with mine. And also make sure you buy a laptop cooling fan for yours. I have mine on continuously and it helps, although it still overheats on occasion.
Here is a class action lawsuit that was just settled: http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-compaq/521913-nvidia-reaches-settlement-class-action-suit-affecti...
Unfortunately for some reason it doesn't look like the tx2000 is included. I may just take them to small claims court.

Sound from speakers & headphones is monaural NOT stereo HP Pavilion TS 15 Notebook PC Win 8.1

My HP Pavilion TS 15 Notebook PC is only 2 weeks old I found out soon after I got it that any test I do of the left and right speakers or headphones is not stereo. When I click on the left speaker I hear the sound in the center and when I click on the right speaker I hear the sound in the center. I have tried a test from the internet same results. However, if I connect a bluetooth audio device then when I click on the left speak I hear the sound on the left only and when I click on the right speaker I hear the sound in the in the right only. Also when I boot the computer with Ubuntu 13.10 there is stereo distinct sounds from either the left or right when I run the left right test.
At first and before I installed Ubuntu HP was sure it was a hardware problem and sent a tech out to install a circuit board which the headphone plug was on, thinking the jack was defective and mixing the left and right channels. That didn't fix it. I went to the Realtek website and ran their program which removed all traces of the sound driver and installed the newest one they had, didn't help. Hp log into my computer and cruised around but found nothing wrong. I have played with every sound setting there is, no change. The final solution they suggest is to reinstall Windblows 8.1. I really don't want to do this as I just did it to transfer from my win 7 notebook to this one using windows easy transfer. FYI this computer is one HP sent me to replace the previous G6 Win 7 notebook which had unresolvable problems, worse than that this is the 3rd computer HP has send me to replace previous ones which each had their own set of unresolvable problems. So I haven't had very good luck with HP computers!
Anyway I am left with maybe a couple possibilities. 1. Reload windblows, I cannot use easy transfer because it no longer works on win 8.1 (maybe file history will work though I'm not sure) 2. Try windows refresh which won't remove as much of what I have installed. 3. Maybe someone has experienced a similar problem and can share here.
Any help is appreciated.
Michael
UPDATE:
HP wanted me to do a clean reinstallation of Win 8.1, sent me the disks to do it, but the disks were defective and wouldn't go on to the second disk. I used the Disks I had made from the computer they worked and the reinstallation was completed. That didn't resolve the problem! They decided to send me a replacement computer.
The new computer is a HP ENVY TS 15 Notebook PC with win 8.1 updated. Same problem except the speakers seem to be in stereo but the headphone jack is still mono. I chatted with HP last evening and was told this is a "Known problem and the fault of Windows 8.1" Can someone tell me if this is true? I have doubts but really want to know.
Michael

Hp replaced this computer for me due to this problem, however, the Envy (dumb name) they sent me to replace it had the same problem. I did fine a solution and here is the web address http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/envy-17-headphones-in-mono-not-stereo/td-p/...
Read down a few posts for the solution by making changes to the registry. But, my problem and the solution was with a win 8.1 computer and I do not know it it applies to Win 7. Unless, you have the same sound card and driver, which I doubt. If you haven't removed the sound card driver and reinstalled it with the one on the HP website do try that.
Good luck.

HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot after windows update (windows 8.1)

After a series of windows update (windows 8.1) my HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot up, no fan noises, no lights no nothing.
I have tried a "hard reset" a number of times with no success.
When the battery is present the white LED flashes 3 times when the power button is pressed.
Please please help.

Hello Cuffy,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you notebook will not boot after a series of Windows updates.
Can you tell me if you are able to access the HP Recovery Manager by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while the notebook turns on? If you can access this, try doing a system restore to before you installed the updates. If not I would suggest you go through this document: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
If it's the Caps Lock light that is blinking this document will tell you exactly what the error is (spoiler: 3 beeps is a memory failure). This could also explain the failed updates. The updates are stored in the RAM before being applied to the operating system.
You can try reseating the RAM, or using only 1 of the RAM cards, as you have 2x4GB cards. If it still doesn't work with 1 card, try the other card to confirm it has failed.
You can replace defective cards via HP Phone Support if covered under warranty or at the HP Part Store if not covered. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

HP Pavilion g6-1c58ca Notebook battery issue

hi , i purcahsed HP Pavilion g6-1c58ca Notebook after using for 7 months , i left the laptop unused for 15 days in monsoon season.
i went for a trip & when i came back , i charged the laptop for 2 hours , showing battery full 100% .

* removed the battery and again plugged it, there is no sign of damage on it.
*it is in warranty , but since purchased from canada , indian hp customer care is unable to help.
kindly suggest.

virender singh

Hi,
So when you say the battery isn't working, are you saying it won't power the laptop at all, even though it says it is 100% charged? If you pull the power cord out while the computer is booted up, does it just shut off, like it would do if the battery wasn't installed, or does it give a warning about low battery and try to shut down, or does it do something else?
The first thing I would do would be to run the battery check and if it passes, run a calibration on the battery to see if that improves performance:
Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 7)
Post back with the status of the battery check.

Thank You

Hi @satyakam
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are enjoying your sound from everything today. I am happy to help.
If you have a sound application installed along with your sound driver, then I would check the settings for the speakers and headphone in that application.
Then I would make your headphone the default device when it is plugged in.
To make headphone as the default device
1.    Click on Start; Go to Control Panel.
2.    Click on Sound.
3.    Switch to Recording.
4.    Select your microphone/headset as the default device.
5.    Save the changes by clicking on OK.
Also you can Uninstall and re-install your audio device drivers, to do that:
1.    Click on Start; in the start search type “devmgmt.msc” without quotes and press Enter.
2.    Expand Sound, Video and Game controllers.
3.    Right click on the audio component and then click uninstall.
With the driver uninstalled then download and re-install the driver from:
HP Pavilion g4-1121tx Notebook PC Drivers
Just be sure to select the correct operating system from the drop down, and click next, which will refresh the list of drivers below.
Let me know if that helped at all.
