I had to do a clean windows install. im missing drivers

So I had lost my recovery partition, burnt the 4 recovery cds from my ex's laptop, and ordered the system recovery dvds from hp. Nothing worked so I had to do a clean windows 7 install. Now I dont have any of the drivers thay came with my computer such as my wireless network. How can I find out what drivers I need to where do I down load them so I can manually get my computer back to the state it was when I bought it?
This question was solved.

Hi:
Looking at the support page, they should all be there...
You go with this one first and reboot.

Which APP is most appropriate to be used immediately after a fresh clean Windows install?

Hi,
The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
Notebook PC support
The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
I know to install the required drivers for my notebook computer, I will need to use the HP Recovery Manager; which will install the original software and hardware drivers that first came with my notebook. To do this, please follow this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7), as well as (Windows 8 and 8.1).
To update the drivers on my computer to the latest software, I recommend following this document on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7) as well as (Windows 8 and 8.1).
However,
First: my primary goal is to know which HP tool is most appropriate for locating, obtaining, and installing all appropriate drivers, updates, etc. immediately after a clean new Windows 7 or 8.1 installation.
I know that HP support assistant helps to download the updates for existing sotware, and drivers. However, if I made a fresh installation of widows, there wouldn't be existing drivers or software, then Which one is most appropriate to be used immediately after a fresh new clean Windows install?? -- to determine, retrieve, and install all the appropriate drivers??
Second: How to save/transfer/export/move the Drivers and Application built-in HP Recovery Manager onto a HDD Or a disc(DVD/CD). So, in case I have delted the HP Recovery Manager, and installed a new Windows 7 installation, then I would be using these Drivers and Applications saved on a HDD or Disc to retrieve, and install all the appropriate dirvers and applications?
Finally: All rivers and Application built-in HP Recovery Manager are saved as NON-SoftPaq on a folder called SwSetup. So could I download all rivers and Application built-in HP Recovery Manager as a SoftPaq.

Y40 GPU not working after clean windows install.

I did a clean Windows install since I got a new HDD and I can not get the switchable GPU working again. I have the latest intel and amd drivers from Lenovo installed and both show up under dxdiag. When I try to access switchable graphics settings all I get is a blank page. The game I am playing shows what gpu is being used and it is Intel.
If anyone has any ideas that would be great!
Thank you!

installed 10.4.10 all is well!!! Cool! Tim

Clean windows install - losing any software?

I'm going to do a clean install as I upgrade from Vista 32-bit (ack!) to Windows 7 64-bit. Am I going to lose anything I won't be able to get via System Update? Anything that shipped with my Thinkpad I should care about? Like Roxio?
Will the install process allow me to take care of the service partition? Or do I need to handle this manually?
I've grabbed the most essential drivers and will let system update handle the rest. Anything else I should do before I start?
Thanks for the advice!

Hello,
If you have not done so, you should make a set of recovery discs for the Microsoft Windows Vista installation on your ThinkPad. That way, if you ever do have a problem and need to revert to the original operating system you shall be able to do so, with all of the ThinkVantage utilities and Lenovo supplied software intact.
As AndyP noted, some of the software supplied with your ThinkPad is not available for download using the ThinkVantage System Update program, such as DVD viewing software. After reinstalling it from wherever you backed up the C:\SWTOOLS directory, you should be able to update it as you would any other Lenovo-supplied software through the ThinkVantage System Update program, though.
My personal preference is to run the the ThinkVantage System Update program before running Microsoft Windows Update on a newly-configured ThinkPad as a precaution against the Microsoft update service installing the wrong drivers, but I cannot say that I have had that problem with any recent computer or version of Microsoft Windows.

How can i make the volume controller on a pavillion dv4 work after a clean windows install?

Hello!
Recently I performed a clean windows 7 install from a windows install disk I previously owned, the problem is that this disk didn't intalled the drivers and programs specific for this computer. What I want to know is which driver or program I need to install to make the volume controller on my computer to work again? The problem is that the volume bar that previously appeared on the screen and the "bing" sound indicating the volume level doesn't appear or sound now.
All other things seem to work fine, this is the only problem so far.
Thanks!

Hi,
Try downloading and installing the latest HP OSD Utility on the following link.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55152.exe
After the installation has completed, restart the notebook.

Windows install with PV Drivers. Start with PV or HVM?

I am unclear, and it doesn't state in the doco, whether I should start with a HVM install of windows and then install the PV drivers or if I should try to install windows PV to begin with. Can you even install windows PV?

It's very hard to release a PV windows. There are lots of legal problem we need to deal with. So we just provide a GUI installer program to install Oracle VM Windows PV Drivers in a HVM windows.

hi mhmohamadi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The BIOS is pre set to load on UEFI Settings and you will need to change it first.
Open th BIOS Menu by tapping the F1 Key when you turn it on.
Once youre in BIOS you will need to change these settings
1. Under Exit TAB
Look for r OS optimized defaults - Change the settings to Disabled
2. Under security TAB
Look for Secure Boot and set it to Disabled
3. Under Start up TAB
CSM -- This option to what ever will enable the options Boot mode and Boot priority because these are Grayed out
Once CSM is changed these option will be available
Boot Mode set to Legacy
Boot Priority set to Legacy First
Now BIOS is set, HIT F10 to Save and Exit
Unfortunately There are no driver package, you will have to download each of the drivers on this list

[Solved] U430 Clean Windows Install

So I've got my Ideapad u430 touch yesterday, and wanted to install an SSD and upgrade the ram instantly, so I did.
Because I had to replace the HDD, I also had to reinstall windows. I got a hold of a windows 8 retail image, made sure it's not been tampered with and installed it on the ultrabook using a generic key.
After I completed the installation, I uninstalled the generic key and tried installing the OEM key that's embedded in the BIOS by reading it through RW Everything utility. So I've got the OEM key, typed 'slui 3' in admin cmd, and now it tells me that it couldn't verify the key.
http://superuser.com/a/710346 - This is the guide I used.
So my question is how do I activate windows 8 with the OEM key that is on my ultrabook.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is resolved.
What I actually needed was a Windows 8.1 OEM image since that's what the laptop shipped with. After I made sure my USB Flash Drive that contains the install is UEFI bootable, I proceeded with the installation and the product key was detected automatically.

Clean Windows Install Help

Hi, I really could use some help. My thinkvantage software got buggy and wasn't functioning, even after resotring the computer to factory clean. I erased everything, including the system partition, and started an XP install on a clean partition. I followed the instructions on the Lenovo website, but I didn't back up my IBM Tools folder. So I am stuck. I need help getting from a clean install to a working computer. I have a second computer that I am using to access the internet. Here's what I think would help:
1. A list of the drivers I should download to get my system back up. Is there a specific one that would start an entire system update?
2. Is there a location where I can download that IBM Tools folder?
I'm not sure what else I can tell you. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

chez17, welcome to the forum,
Start with ThinkVantage System Update, if it misses something you can go to the Driver Site for your ThinkPad.
Happy installing

How can I get my iTunes to start up after a clean re-install?

Following the corruption of many of my Applications and Files, I had to have a Clean Re-install done.
That solved most of the problems, but when I try to start iTunes it comes up with the iTunes Software Licence Agreement.
When I click on Agree, I get the message "The File 'iTunes Library' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. That's it.
Do I try update my current iTunes 6.0.2, or what?
Your help in solving this problem would be much appreciated.

I can only speak from a Windows perspective.
Have you tried uninstalling Itunes, then uninstall quicktime and reinstalling both ?
if you log onto the pc as another user does itunes work then ? if so quicktime and itunes are fine and it's something specific to the user.
Try finding the itunes library (for vista c:\users\users name\music\itunes most likely), this is where your music is going to be along with what seems to be configuation files for itunes for that user. Try renaming.
Does Itunes work then ?

Lost Linksys password after new windows install

I have had my Linksys E4200 for a few years now. When I'm home my cell phone and laptop both use my wireless connection. My desktop computer had the main Cisco console which provided the passwords to both my cell and laptop.
My problem is I recently had a virus attack to my desktop from clicking on a bad email link. I couldn't remove the virus so I did a clean windows install. I can't find my Linksys router box but I found my CD disc. The disc is asking for my password which is probably somewhere in my original box (which of course I can't find now). My router has the model number and mac address but I don't know how to reinstall my console without my original password.
I never disconnected my router when I did my new windows install on my desktop, and my computer still recognizes my Linksys router. When I click on the device icon it says, "network connected", Catagory: wireless network router, Manufacturer: Cisco, Model: Internet Access Server. Is there enough information so I can recover my password and install my console again? Thanks...
Solved!

Hello DuMartin,
It is asking for the password you set up for your network. If that will not work, then it would be best to reset and configure the router again.

U310 Clean Windows 7 Installation

I bought a U310 which suffers from a very slow Wifi perfomance. The problem seems to be know in this forum.
Apart from that I'd prefer a clean Windows 7 installation without the "Lenovo overhead" and with my Win7 Professional liscence.
I prepared a USB pen drive to be bootable and tried the setup from the stick. Somehow the Windows 7 setup does not seem to recognize any drives and partitions to install on. I guess I have to include the intel storage driver on my setup usb stick? But on the other hand, shouldn't the normal hdd (500 Gb) be recognizabe for the setup?
In Windows storage manager, I see what I suppose is the 32GB SSD, but its only shown as 32GB.
Any hints on how to be able to fully use the 32GB SSD and install Windows on it?
Thanks

Hi,
the method described below is theoretical, I haven't tried it yet:
if you want to use the SSD cahce for installing Windows on it, you have to break up the raid array on it. After that you should see unallocated space.
If you don't want to use RapidStart, you can force delete the hibernation partition to gain extra 8GB space. (note: you have to disable it in the bios too)
Then you sould download the Rapid Storage F6 drivers (x86 or x64, based on your future installation architecture) and copy it on the usb drive.
During windows install, load the drivers from the disk. And install the system on the ssd cache drive.

Lost OEM information (manufacturer, brand, model, logo) after a clean windows installation

Please help if there's any way to get it back to original.

Help Promise 378 Sata (non raid) Windows install

Ok I am now atempting a fresh WinXP install on my new WD Raptor.
The Problem being that XP setup does not see my Sata drive.
After F6 it gives me the following choices...
"Win2000 Promise Sata378 Controller"
"WinNT Promise Sata378 Controller"
"Win Server 2003 Promise FastTrak 376/378 Controller"
"WinXP Promise FastTrak 376/378 Controller"
The Obvious selection #4 has been tried multiple times, it never see's my Sata drive.
Options 1&2 give error as I did not copy Win2000 and WinNT folders on floppy.
Is XP based on NT or 2000? I dont remember.
Floppy was made according to "makedisk.txt in the 378_55.exe.
Ive tried multiple Bios settings under "On chip Ide configuration"
If you read my earlier post I had a problem with my current Windows install loading raid drivers by default. I think Xp setup is doing the same thing. How do I get it to load Sata drivers instead?
Thinking Promise or MSI (whoever) should have gone to the trouble of configuring seperate files, ie. 378_Raid.exe 378_Sata.exe!
Yes I have Changed boot order to the sata drive. Order is floppy, CD, Sata, Other (yes).
Tried legacy and native modes, Sata only and both etc. etc.
Still think the problem is with the floppy. Probably the "txtsetup.oem" file. But Im not enuff of a wizard to edit it proper.

Check the sata configuration in bios.
I set it in auto (it has auto,disabled enhanced and one more option,i don't remember)
or a 848p neo2-v board and it worked!
If you don't see it recognised by your bios it won't be recognised by windows either!
So don't bother letting it start the boot from cd unless you can see your drive in the bios.
What i suggest is that you continuously press delete at boot,
go into bios, change some settings, press F10, reboot,press delete again and if you still
don't see your drive,try others settings,press F10 etc.
Go into boot from cd,that is, xp installation ONLY AFTER you can see your drive in bios.

I had to do a clean windows install. im missing drivers
