Pavilion A6750F hangs after new drive with Windows 7 64 install. Suggestions?

Pavilion A6750F new hard drive with clean install of Windows 7 64.  The system will hang on many screens from IE to Outlook 2003.  If I wait, they will correct themselves.  The Bios is version 5.13, but I do not see an update available.

Hi,
There might be several items to check.  Open the RUN window and enter: MSCONFIG
Make that the boxes under the Advanced TAB are unchecked.
It's very possible since you installed a new hard drive that the hard drive is faultly.  Recheck the sata cables and run some bios diagnostics.
Open the RUN Window and enter the following command: chkdsk
Open my Computer and right mouse click on the hard drive --> properties --> Tools --> Check now
What is the make and model of the new hard drive?

  • Missing driver with windows 8.1 installing or restoring

    Hi all,
    If I try to do a clean install of windows 8.1 the installation routine tells me helpfully that I am missing a media driver. The only way I could get round this was to create a USB bootablke disc and then add ALL the lenovo drivers that I have down loaded cfrom the lenovo site. This worked and it appeared to scan the USB drive and find whatever it was looking for. I'm still none the wiser as to what it was missing.
    This problem is compounded when you try to restore from a backup image created in windows (I have a new drive and wanted to clone my old system). It finds the restore image on the external USB drive but can't seem to find the internal drive. This time however it won't scan a folder but wants me to provide the location of the actual INF file for the missing driver.
    Can anyone help? I am assuming its the data/drive controller but I can't find it anywhere.
    Thanks

    hi Rolf,
    You most tikely have the Seagate ST500LX005 SSHD.
    just to verify, using this guide as a reference, are you getting stucked at Step 7? Also, is the SATA Mode set to AHCI under BIOS?
    When you get the prompt to provide the location of the actual INF file for the missing driver, can you consider the following:
    1. Download the f6flpy-x64.zip file on either of the links below and extract it on a usb flashdrive.
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=22194
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=22676
    2. Before running the system image recovery, insert the usb flashdrive and locate the iAAHCIC.inf / iaStorAC.inf file on flashdrive and use this path when you get the prompt to provide the location of the missing driver.

  • My ipod classic will not sync to my new laptop with windows 8. Any suggestions please?

    I have an iPod classic U2 Limited Edition. After hours of sorting and searching for lost tunes I finally managed to re-create my music library on my new laptop which runs on Windows 8. However, when I connected my iPod, although it starts the sync process it just stops after a few seconds. My old laptop ran on Vista Home Premium. My current laptop has the latest version of iTunes and the software version for the iPod is 1.2.1 which is also the current version. At this point it is just over half full so I know this cannot be the issue. iTunes recognises the iPod when I connect it.
    I have checked some online forums and tried some fixes used by other people but these did not solve the problem
    This included running iTunes as administrator and also enabling disk use

    Hey there netsie_1960,
    It sounds like your iPod Classic seems to start syncing, but it stops before it actually finishes. I would recommend the troublehsooting in the following article to help resolve USB syncing issues, named:
    iTunes: Resolve USB-related alerts
    Try these steps to check the connection between your device or computer. You might need to do only one of these steps to resolve the issue, so test your connection after each step.
    See if the cable connection at the device or computer has come loose or unplugged.
    Unplug the cable you're using to connect your iOS device from the USB port on your computer, and then reconnect it. Then unplug it from your iOS device, and reconnect it.
    Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
    If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead. 
    Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
    These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
    Restart your computer.
    Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    If your iOS device displays the Connect to iTunes screen, reset your device and then restore it.
    If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes if you haven't already.
    Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device. 
    If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Load Leopard on a New Hard Drive with Windows XP already loaded

    How can I load a new, fresh Leopard operating system on a new hard drive, with Windows XP already loaded and working on it's own independent hard drive via bootcamp beta. I have been using Tiger on it's own drive and wish to discontinue Tiger and move to Leopard without reloading windows. Can I just put in a new drive, and load Leopard with the Windows drive in place?
    Please, any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Malcolm:
    Thanks so much for replying to my question! I am new to MAC and have Tiger and Windows XP on separate drives. I will be removing the drive with Tiger and putting in a new drive to load Leopard and I wondered how that would effect accessing Windows XP since the Windows drive will remain in the system. Is there anything I need to do with bootcamp, since Windows was loaded using the Beta version of bootcamp, and bootcamp icon currently shows in the Windows XP taskbar. Tiger was pre-loaded when the computer was purchased. In fact I had to backdate the beta bootcamp version in order to get it to work. I hope this is not asking too much, but I wondered if there would any problem with Windows after the Leopard load.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

    Terry,
    Plug your iPhone 5 into your Leopard Machine.
    Fire up iPhoto.
    The phone should become available in iPhoto, and then you can import the camera roll.

    Just to clarify - in terms of backing up one set of these, would that just be so I had it on disk and didn't need to re-download from Adobe if the installation got corrupted somehow?  Or do I need a backup for some other reason?
    Thanks

  • Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

    I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    It is quite easy to transfer your files to the new Mac.
    When you start up your new Mac for the first time, it will guide you through the steps of setting up the operating system, and one of the steps will ask you to restore files from another PC, Mac or external drive.
    At this point, you can install Windows Migration Assistant on your old PC, choose the option to transfer files from another PC on the Mac and follow the on-screen steps. It will let you choose what you want to transfer, so make sure you transfer the folder with your photographs (normally, Pictures).
    After setting up your computer, you will have a lot to learn because it is a completely new operating system. Apple prepared some articles for new users that you may want to read in order to use your computer > http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/ Also, if you live near an Apple Retail Store, there are workshops there to help you use your Mac

  • HT203164 CD burning on new pc with windows 7

    I just bought a new pc with windows 7.  I downloaded the latest version of Itunes and now when I burn a cd it won't work in my car cd player.  Is there something special I need to be doing?  I didn't have this problem with my last pc.

    Ok lets see if I clarify this... On the original Vista PC I have C, D, and the external drive which I thought everything was stored on was recognized as I.  The old PC now powered down and the external drive plugged in via USB  now recognized as  F on the new PC. So now the new PC has a 500G C drive and a 1 TB external drive. I read somewhere that the catalog file could be copied anywhere on the new PC and just double click on it PSE7 would open. I did and PSE opened the tags I created and albums were visible on the right side of the screen and PSE started generating thumbnails. Problem was PSE kept freezing and I couldn't even close it in task manager so I had to force a shutdown by holding in the power button.. After a few tries at this I un and reinstalled PSE7 it opened fine like before and it started generating thumbnails again. I had noticed some broken links as I scrolled down (not the hour glass icon but the camera icon with the rip in the page) which lead me to believe that some photos were still on the hard drives of the old PC. At this point I decided to close PSE on the new PC plug the external drive back on the old one and did a complete backup to the external drive having it scan for broken links before the back up started. Back to the new PC and for the hell of it before restoring from back up I figured I let it generate to see what happened. As I type a half a day later it is still generating thumbnails... There are over 15,000 pics there and a lot of them are duplicates but that is a question for another day. Any suggestion here? Stop generating and reinstall the backup to the c drive, clean up the folders on the external drive and when everything is fine make another backup and restore it to the external drive....

  • I just bought a new computer with Windows 7 . How do I start a new account?

    I bought a new computer with Windows 7. I installed itunes, and I downloaded some podcasts. When I try to sync, it begins syncing and then stops.
    Any suggestions?
    Also - is there a way to upload my music from my ipod onto my new itunes?
    Thank you.

    The easiest thing to do is backup your old computer with an external hard drive. Then import all of your files from the external hard drive to the new computer. I just did this about two months ago myself. The biggest problem I had was that it did not keep any of my playlists that I had spent many years developing. However, there is a supposed way to be able to keep the playlists if you do your research on this website (which I did not do first, only after the fact) and follow the steps they guide you with.

  • Reinstalling card on a new PC with windows 7

    I had a sound blaster AUDIGY 2.ZS platinum pro working fine on my old computer with windows XP.
    I did now receive a fully new PC with windows 7 and i requested to install my sound card on the new PC.
    The sound comes normally on the speakers (creative INSPIRE 580 - system 5.1)
    BUT.....! when i tried to install the consoles (EAX, TXH and so on), from the installation CD, the setup program says that he does'nt find any AUDIGY 2 card on the system.
    Its the same after having downloaded the latest version of the driver.
    Also, when i try to control the volume from the external I/O hub, it does'nt work properly.
    I can mute or no mute the speakers, but i cannot increase or decrease the volume.
    Any solutions available?
    Thank you very much for your attention.

    Hi Fidmon,
    After performing a research, I just get the same conclusion as Rick Dee and Shadow Walker. There is no Lexmark Optra S 1625 Printer driver for Windows 7 provided on Windows Update Catalog. Also, no driver downloading information for your printer listed on the Lexmark Product Download Center.
    At this time, you can try the suggestions raised by Shadow Walker to install the similar printer driver to check the issue. For your convenicen, I have located a driver for OPTRA S 1255 printer. Please download and install the driver to test the issue.
    Please note: Since this is a Windows XP driver, I can't guarantee if it works for you, but we can try installing the driver under Windows XP Compatible Mode.
    OPTRA S 1255
    If the driver did not work, I strongly suggest communicating with Lexmark Support and ask them to produce the proper driver for Windows 7.
    Judy :)
