HP Pavilion p2 PC Model p2-1113w Can't boot anything!!! Help!

Okay so I got this computer about a year and six months ago. Two days before it was a year old, I turned it on and it came up with an error saying &quot;Windows Error Recovery: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.&quot; I can't start it normally, in safe mode, or from disc, I can't even launch repair or recovery. All it does is hang and then go to StartUp Repair. But when I run diagnostics it says S.M.A.R.T Card - Failed. I know that has to do with the hard drive but, since I'm 13 I can't buy a new hard drive. Any help here. If its within 50 dollars ill try to fix it. (It's not the RAM, I already tried that.) Please help.

Oiestin, welcome to the forum.
We'll try to help you get the computer running again.
When you said that you ran diagnostics, was this the SMART test from the BIOS? This will test the hard drive. If it is the hard drive, there is nothing to do but replace it.
If the hard drive passes the test, I suggest trying to do a full System Recovery using the Recovery Discs. The link that I provided will give you all of the instructions for doing the Recovery.

Can't boot anything after attempting to Bootcamp

Hi,
I have an Intel Macbook Pro (can't think what year off the top of my head right now) running Snow Leopard and I attempted to Bootcamp with a standard Windows XP disk a few hours ago. A few minutes before the attempt I finished reformatting and reinstalling Snow Leopard, as I'd been having disk utility problems. I set the partition for 50GB (of 200GB) in the Bootcamp Utility, but when it restarted, I was presented with only a single partition to choose from, which was 130GB. I couldn't see the 50GB, so decided to exit. After exiting the MBP attempted to load the disk again, but failed. From then on I can't load any operating system (not that I expect I could load XP), and it boots to a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left corner. I can't load the original Snow Leopard install disk, or any disk, and I also can't boot into safe mode. When I use the alt/option key boot, I'm faced with a semi-large grey lock with a password field.
If anyone needs more info, I'll try find it.
Thanks,
chunks01

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
the single partition of 130GB phenomenon usually indicates that you used a Windows XP CD that does not match the requirements of BootCamp.
Usually a XP CD which is not at SP2 (Service Pack 2) level, but a prior one.
To make yourself an XP SP2 (or SP3) install CD you can use these instructions http://www.winsupersite.com/xp/sp3_slipstream.asp
As for your second but foremost problem, have a look here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1978
Hope it helps

Can't boot anything after deleting C partition in order to install Windows 8.1

I have a ASUS X55VD notebook, wich had a Windows 7 64-bit (and a dual booted Ubuntu, but with Windows bootloader). Yesterday I tried to install a Windows 8.1, so I inserted a disc and restarted.
The window to manually select the partition, on wich it will be installed, came up so I formated C partition where Windows 7 was installed. It did not allow me to install to that partition because, a new format (GPT) had to be used. So i chose to delete the
partition. Deleting was quite long, after wich the computer restated, and after that it only showed black screen.
The Windows DVD is still spinning, but nothing shows. Can't acces the BIOS (none of the keys work).
Tried:
- Hardware reset (battery out>hold power button fro 10-20 sec>put battery inside>start) - No change
- Put a Live Linux DVD to boot from it - No change
- Put a hirens boot cd - No change
- USB boot - No change
- Connect a external keyboard and tried accessing BIOS - Nothing happened
I would suffice with just gettng some of my data from him, and sending him to repair Can't tinker with harware, or it will void my varrancy
Please help. The problem is really urgent.

Hi,
It seems a hardware issue, you can first try to reset the CMOS - remove the cell battery from the motherboard for at least half hour, re-insert it, boot up. The BIOS settings should be reset to defaults. But for better solution, I
suggest you contact the manufacture.

My kid forget id and password to use i pod touch now we can not do anything help

i have a ipod touch my kid forget pascode and id and now is locked we can not do anythingcon not get in go on line help how do i ghange the passcode on this thing

Here's what to do:
Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Broadband connecting but can't do anything - HELP ...

I've been using BT Broadband with the HH2 for about 6 months now and have had very few problems, but last Friday I couldn't do ANYTHING online. The broadband connection appeared to be OK (all blue lights lit on HH2) and nothing had changed with my hardware, but I couldn't get any data through. I tried my other laptop but it was the same. I tried both computers using wireless and wired connections to the HH2, but no difference.
It appeared that some data is being exchanged - trying to open web pages sends a couple of hundred "packets" but only maybe 10 packets are received, according to the Windows connection status window (I admit that I don't know how accurate this is!).
I phoned the BT Broadband helpline (India?) and spent 4 hours doing al the usual software testing (ping tests etc) and internal wiring tests (using the master socket) but these guys were at a loss about why I can't use the broadband. They said that the line looked OK from their side, and that the broadband connection was OK. I even tried a different ADSL router - one I know that works - in case the HH2 box was faulty, but this didn't fix the problem either.
So now I think that there's something wrong with the line, or the exchange.
Does anyone know how I go about getting BT to take me seriously and send an engineer out?
When I asked about this, the guy on the Broadband helpline said that it's probably spyware (!) on my laptop that's causing the problem. I argued that this didn't sound plausible, but he was adamant that the problem is out if their hands.
Any advice / help on this would be appreciated as I'm getting married in a 6 months and the fiance is in the middle of organising a load of stuff on-line. My life will be made a misery if I can't get this resolved as I'll need to be dragged around a load of shops!!

can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester http://speedtester.bt.com and post the results.
are you connected to the master or test socket or somewhere else
Someone may then be able to offer assistance

New G500 1) how get to bios, 2) can't boot SSD Help! Thanks!!!

If this is not the right forum please tell me where.
1) apparently only way to get to BIOS is from power off and press little button? Apparently no F2 F12 or whatever? Yes? No?
2) I pull the SSD out of my V570 and stick it into the G500 and it does not see it in the boot menu. I plug it externally through a Apricorn sata to usb3 adapter and boot menu does not see it. Boot menu DOES see a usb flashdisk that is bootable (Acronis) What do I have to do to the SSD to get the G500 to see it?
SSD has Win7 Pro x64 SP1 current and works fine on V570 (typing on it now). It's in MBR format.
SSD is Sammy 840Pro 128GB.
Thanks!!!

Is your computer on a network by chance? Some network settings could be the cause. I'd recommend testing by connecting your comp directly to your broadband modem.

If i have model A1811 should/can i download lion in order to get icloud? Are they compatible?

If i have model A1811 should/can i download lion in order to get icloud? Are they compatible?

A1811 is simply the white or black plastic case non-Unibody MacBook. Any one of 17 different models.
To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The model 1,1 cannot run Lion all the others can run Lion but you'll have to max out your RAM and upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard first.
You can upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.5 will run under10.6. You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/ I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
To upgrade your iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store if you have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

iOS 4.2.1 is the latest.
If you are on a previous level to update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

I can't boot from OS install USB drive Mac Mini Model 1176

How I can't boot from OS install USB drive, Mac Mini Model 1176

Thank you Eustace Mendis for your answer.
I rebooted the Mac Mini holding the Option key down but it doesn't work. I used an USB drive with O.s 10.7 from Apple that I have used previuosly with other computers and I also tried with a CD install O.S 10.6
It seems that the Mac Mini can't recognize the keyboard inputs and I tried with 3 different keyboards but still didn't work.
I also reset the SMC and PRAM but I had no luck. Any clues?

Is there a graphics card that will be compatible in my HP Pavilion dv2000 notebook (model dv2419us)?

?Is there a graphics card that will be compatible in my HP Pavilion dv2000 notebook (model dv2419us)? - This notebook has Windows 7 Home Premium.
- I was looking to take the free upgrade to WIndows 10 - I requested the reservation.
- Initial response was to wait for downloads would be available.
- Just got the message that it is not compatible with Windows 10 because it has an Nvidia Go GeForce 6150 graphics card.
- I contacted Nvidia about a card that would be comaptible with WIndows 10.
- Response was that couldn't recomment a replacement, and to contact HP.
- Does anyone know if there is a graphics card replacement for the HP Pavilion dv2000 notebook that would make it compatible with Windows 10?
...Or is my only option to not upgrade to Windows 10 or buy a new laptop?

Hi there , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I understand that you are inquiring about a Graphics Card Replacement. Unfortunately the Graphics Cards are not replaceable on the HP Pavilion dv2000 Notebook PC. They are attached directly to the motherboard. The only way to replace a Graphics Card would be to replace the whole Motherboard. Hope I answered your question. Have a great day!

Hi:
I would make a set of recovery disks first before proceeding.
To boot the PC you need to go into the BIOS and enable legacy mode.
Then you should be able to boot from another device.
