Pavilion dv8000 recovery questions

Hi,
I have the Pavilion dv8000 laptop which came loaded with Windows XP. I have since upgraded to Windows 7, and now feel I need to run a system recovery but I am not sure how to proceed. I researched on HP about the recovery process but was not sure if my upgrade to 7 makes a difference or do I follow the diirections for the XP? I also can't recall if I bought my laptop in 05 or 06, so I'm not sure if I need a recovery disc or not. There is a D Drive listed as a recovery drive but I have no idea how to access it.
Many thanks in advance for your assistance!

Normally you can boot into Recovery by tapping away at the F11 key immediately after powering on the laptop. However, many times the F11 function is broken when you install another OS. Try it first to see if it works.
If not, this procedure has worked for many owners>>
1.Right-click on "Computer" icon and select manage.
2.This will launch the Microsoft Management Console.
3.On the left side of the MMC, click on "Disk Management" and it will show you all of the partitions.
4.Right-click on the "HP Recovery" partition and select "Mark as Active Partition."
5.When the warning prompt appears, select "Yes" - Reboot and it will automatically boot into the Recovery Manager (without pressing F11).

    Windows XP
    512MG 80M
    I was factory restoring it and the keyboard stopped working and the boot manager is missing, 
    No new changes just would like to recover it back. please
    I would like to download a recover disk for that computer, where it does it automatically because the keyboard does not work, the screen does not work, however,  I have a flat screen monitor plugged to it.  Please help me recover it back.

    You may be able to order Recovery Disks, there is no download. http://computersurgeons.com/
    You need "complete" model number (1) or P/N (2) from Service Tag on bottom of laptop to find correct set.

  • Pavilion dv8000 audio problem

    Hi everybody,
    I did a clean install of windows 7 on my HP Pavilion dv8000 just last night, most everything is working fine except one thing, my audio.
    I successfuly installed the drivers but in the device manager I get a message "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" wherther or not this is a problem with windows 7, I'm not sure, however the problem started when I installed it any suggestions on fixing this would be appreciated

    My problem with Win7 drivers on a dv8000 unit with AC97 audio is consistent with what has been aired here (audio, mass storage, modem). The audio was most egregious. I followed a number of solutions over (3) days which eventually led me me to sp35558. But it did not install without tweaking. I followed this advice, and then tweaked it. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Windows-7-Beta-and-test/NEED-HELP-Windows-7-sound-drivers-for-dv8310us/...
     After that failed, I did this routine:
    1) right-click the question marked (unknown audio) device and choose update driver software.
    2) Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
    3) Choose "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer"
    4) Page down to and choose "Sound Video and Game controllers"
    5) Choose (Click) the "Have Disk" button on that dialogue box.
    6) browse to the folder with the CP6308Ba.inf file.
    7) Choose the inf from the browser, "open" it and press OK.
    It will warn you that the driver is not signed in the process. Just OK it.
    It installed the drivers after that as "Conexant AC Link Audio."
    I love my audio again.

  • HP Pavilion DV8000 Notebook

    HP Pavilion DV8000 Notebook, Windows XP, SP2:  I noticed lately on my laptop that I can be working on it and it will automatically just shut off.  My battery does not keep power very well so I have to keep plugged in all the time. I have done diagnostics on it no hardware problems show up at all.  So I am not sure what is going on.  Does anyone have any ideas of what can be wrong.  Of course this is no longer under warranty.   Any help is greatly appreciated

    >> I have to keep plugged in all the time
    Hi,
    It looks like your battery does not work well, it should tell you the machine is low on battery before shutting off. I don't know how old is your laptop but you may want to check its battery and replace if required.

  • Regarding forgotten password n recovery question

    Sir...I forgot my blackberry 9380's blackberry I'd password n recovery question....even icant download any applications frm the store...I also tweetedon your twitter account but there wasno response...please provide the appropriate assistance through phone or online....
    Thank you

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Start first with these please:
    KB28685 How to reset the BlackBerry ID password using the password recovery question
    KB32111 "The link is no longer valid." is encountered when attempting to reset a BlackBerry ID password
    KB26361 How to change or reset the BlackBerry ID password
    KB28111 Unable to reset BlackBerry ID password when using a BlackBerry hosted email address
    KB28232 BlackBerry ID reset email is not being delivered to the associated mailbox
    If you have forgotten your BB ID credentials AND have non-BB access (e.g., Outlook, webmail, etc.) to the email account that is currently configured to your BB ID account, then those instructions should allow you to recover access to your BB ID account.
    However, if you do not have access to that email account, then your challenge is much greater, and you have a choice to make depending on your circumstances:
    If you have no AppWorld records that you require to retain (e.g., purchase records for apps), then simply abandon the BB ID and create a new one. To do so, however, does require a device WIPE:
    KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
    But, if you do have AppWorld records that you must keep, then you require human intervention. To receive that, you must ring up your mobile service provider and convince them to escalate your case up to BlackBerry. Further, you must convince BlackBerry to provide you with a solution -- which likely will either be resetting your current BB ID so that you can again access it or having you create a new BBID and they will manually move your purchase records over. Note that I have no idea if they will be willing to do this, but there is no other way that I know of to retain your prior AppWorld purchase records.
    Good luck!

  • Can my Pavilion dv8000 run 2g of ram and dual 250gb hard drives?

    I have a older HP Pavilion dv8000 that has been wiped and reloaded at least 4 times because my son thinks all web sites are safe, and I want to know if it will handle 2 gig of ram and dual 250gb hard drives with the processor that it runs on, it currently has 1 gig ram and a 160gb hard drive, or do I throw it in the trash and buy a new one?? The 17 in screen is perfect but my son loaded Windows 7 on it and now it will barely run at all, it had XP but his "computer wiz buddy" said this will make it run just great. WRONG, so I need to start over. Any suggestions other than when or if I get it fixed to keep my son away from it.

    The dv8000 series covers a lot of territory...most are single core centrinos but some are core duos...some are single core AMD processors. It was not a real poular model and I do not see a  lot of them, but always thought they are pretty well made and robust. To me a dual core processor is the minimum requirement for a useable computer these days. If it is in fact a single core I would abandon it and buy a new one if you can afford it. But even the single core would be OK for light use if there is no other option. I recommend XP be installed on it, but some of them have a video system that can handle Windows 7 OK. Yes it can be upgraded to 2 gigs of RAM and you can install 2 x 250 gig hard drives. It uses DDR2 memory and if I recall correctly some are PATA hard drives and some are SATA hard drives so you have to see what you have before you order a replacement. They evolved quite a bit over their lifespan. If you can give us the full model number from the tag on the bottom of the laptop we can provide more knowledgeable help.

  • Blackberry ID recovery question

    Hi.
    I recently decided to come back to blackberry. I tried to reopen my old blackberry account I D but cant get past the security question cause it seems like my answer is wrong in the Recovery question. All I can think is that there might be a spelling error. I do need to get this ID working again and will not open another email adress to just get access again to Blackberry World. Where is a feature where a recovery link cant just be emailed to my email adress to reset my password? This is how everyone else does it.
    I used  of my gmail adress in the mean time to get another ID but this isnt what I want and secondly I want to use my old ID cause I have another Blackberry 9790 that will require that I get my ID working again. I want to let my daughter use the phone and I will use my old blackberry ID. I cant use the same Blackberry ID on two phones. I want to put BBM on the 9790 as well but with only one working ID at the moment I cant get BBM onto the second phone.
    If I cant get the ID to work again I will just install whatsapp cause it will only need a cellphone number and avoid this whole complicated password recovery process.
    The issue here is I dont want more email adresses created just to get back onto BB world. Complications like this drives clients with less patience away,,,,,,
    Please assist with a solution.

    can both of you try logging in to your BBID at www.bbid.com and enter the security question answer there?
