Realtek NIC driver failure on HP Envy

I have an HP Envy With Windows 7 (Original OS) and Ubuntu Linux installed under dual boot.  One day I found my computer in Windows Safe mode with a message saying that my "New Drivers were ready to install"  or something to that effect.  When it rebooted into Windows, all network connectivity was down.  I have scanned the Windows Partition for viruses and found nothing.  Networking still works in Linux.  I downloaded and reinstalled all Drivers under "Network" from the HP website for my machine.  The other symptom is that one of the bluetooth drivers also will not reinstall.
My Device Manager currently looks as follows:

I tried:
Reinstalling drivers from the device manager. For the Devices and Protocals that are down, I get a "File not found error."  There are files in the relavent directories, but I do not know what files the error codes are refering to.
Reinstalling drivers from HP tools.
Downloading and installing Drivers from the HP Website.  When I try installing  the "Realtek Local Area Network (Lan) Driver" I get an "Access Denied" error when the installer starts trying to write over files.  Yes I am running the installer as Admin.
This is a real pain to try to fix, because I have to reboot into linux everytime I need the network and all the network based update  and diagnostic tools are useless.  Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Sorry for delayed response. No leave the drivers in SWsetup file. You are going to choose the option to delete driver when you delete the device from device manager....delete everything under network that it will let you delete and also select to remove driver (advanced). Now you have to reboot....you will have some unknown devices, obviously the wired and wireless network devices and just reinstall drivers using the HP driver files.

  • Envy 14 - Hard Drive failure imminent

    I have an Envy 14-1110NR laptop and am getting a Hard Drive failure imminent message every time I boot up.  Having run the HP diagnostics, the hard drive check fails so I'm guessing I have to replace it.
    The hard drive is a Samsung HM640JJ which has gone obsolete.  Does anyone know what I need to do...?
    Thanks so much...

    Hi,
    The error message would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced.
    If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced - you can check your warranty status Here.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
    If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know.
    Regards,

  • HP Envy 7 interment hard drive failure on start up

    Hello,
    I have a HP Envy 7 with Windows 7. On start up, I get the "Interment Hard drive failure", I ran the hard drive test and the results were good. I didn't get an error message but the message comes up everytime I restart. Is there a way to turn the smart disk message off or should I get ready to purchase a new hard drive?

    Hi
    Can you help me with Product number & the complete model number off you unit. Please find the Link given Here how to find the details.
    Most HP Notebook PCs have SMART (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology System) capable hard drives. SMART is firmware that resides on the hard drive and continuously monitors drive parameters such as performance and error rates. SMART uses a technology known as predictive failure analysis to tell you when a hard drive failure is imminent.
    Common SMART errors are:Hard disk failure is imminent.
    A hard drive in the system reports that it may fail.
    Smart failure imminent, back up your data
    Error 1720 Imminent Hard Drive Failure
    HP Hardware Diagnostic errors that start with HD521
    The use of SMART does not prevent all hard drive failures, but it can give you the opportunity to back up your personal files and replace the hard drive before it fails.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • How can I just use a generic Realtek audio driver without "Beats Audio" interfering!?

    Beats audio is terrible! I just want to have a flat EQ with no stupid sound effects enabled. The only way I've been able to do this so far, is to uninstall the audio driver, and just use the generic windows one instead. But what I would like to do is use a generic Realtek audio driver, and completely remove Beats Audio from my computer.
    After uninstalling the audio driver that comes with my laptop, I tried getting a standard Realtek driver from their website. But when I install that, Beats Audio reappears! This is so frustrating! How can I uninstall Beats Audio? I want it gone forever! I can see from searching these forums that this is a common problem. But none of the solutions have shown how to just use a standard Realtek driver without this Beats Audio rubbish.
    Can anyone tell me how this is possible? I'll stick to the generic windows driver if I have to. But it would be nice if I could just use the Realtek drivers as they were meant to be.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. But you've misunderstood the question. I know how to uninstall the sound driver and just use a generic Windows one instead. But what I'm actually looking to do, is install the Realtek audio driver without Beats Audio. Thanks.

  • Hard drive failure on Pavilion dv6-6000 laptop (LT069AV)

    I posted this as a reply on another thread (xxx).   Thought I might get a quicker response starting a new question.
    Persistent BSODs and disk errors culminated in a "disk not found" error yesterday on my dv6-6000 laptop PC.  Windows 7 Home, Intel i5 processor, 6GB RAM.  I like the PC overall - nice screen and usually great performance.  I look forward to getting it back online as it serves as my work as well as personal computer.
    So, I need to replace my hard drive and reinstall the OS with a an HP recovery disc that I have yet to purchase (I can't find a recovery disk I produced myself after several moves), and then restore using my cloud backup solution. 
    The HP part number for the SATA hard drive is 621046-001 (this is a 640 GB volume).  I noticed that a replacement for this drive is available at CPU medics for about $90.  Would I be foolish to order a replacement, having just experienced a drive failure with this part?  Should I look to other manufacturers and perhaps go with a 750 GB volume?  Also, do I need to replace with a 7200 rpm drive?  Is there any disadvantage if I went with a 5400 rpm HDD?
    Any suggestions?

    You have options when installing Windows 7 to create partitions, you could just select the complete space & install as one partion then once installed use windows disc partition manager to adjust it to you requirements.
    Windows 7 can be loaded to a memory stick & the link provided includes a tool to make the bootable memory stick.
    Plenty of step by step guides on installing windows can be found on google, it is quite easy but first time is always going be slower due to learning curve, if you like super simple then hp recovery discs could be worth the money dor you.
    Link below is guide on installing Windows 7, useful as a rough guide on what involved.

  • Experiencing strange performance issues after a hard drive failure - Help!

    I bought my mid-2012 i5 Macbook Pro in December of 2012. I realized when shopping for computers that I wanted an SSD installed, but that it would be a lot cheaper if I bought the SSD and installed it rather than customizing it in the Apple Store. So I bought a nice Samsung 128GB SSD (820 or 840 - can't remember which) and did the installation. I went ahead and installed two 4GB sticks of RAM while I was at it. Everything was just dandy: my boot time was just under 9 seconds, and all of my data-heavy apps booted in no-time at all. Then all **** broke loose.
    About two weeks ago, I opened my computer and I got the dreaded "? File Folder" notification with a gray screen. I immediately thought hard drive failure. No matter how many times I tried to boot, the computer just would not talk to the SSD anymore. I used Internet Recovery to get into my Disk Utility, and the entire partition was gone. I assumed the worst but wanted to be sure - I bought a hard drive enclosure and hooked the SSD up to an older Macbook, and lo and behold: it worked perfectly. I was not only able to recover data, but I could write data to the drive. Nothing appeared wrong with the drive when I plugged it into the old Macbook, but my newer Macbook still would not recognize it. Even my fiance's Windows 7 PC recognized the drive as "?" (since it was formatted for Mac, but hey - it recognized that it existed!).
    I decided to re-install the original HDD that came with the 2012 Macbook Pro (the one I removed in favor of the SSD). I was able to re-install the OS and I can boot up at will, but everything is different. The performance issues are extremely noticeable. I can't have more than two programs running at one time without the spinning wheel of death appearing. My boot time went from 9 seconds to 2 minutes. I know that SSDs increase performance, so there is some slight performance downgrade to be expected since I am using a mechanical drive now -- but these are not normal issues. Sometimes I can't even type a web address into Safari without the wheel appearing. iTunes, and specifically the App Store, take minutes to open - and I have no media is on iTunes.
    Here's the thing: I have tried just about anything to fix this problem that Google can pull up. I've verified the HDD, I've booted into Safe Mode, reset RAM and cache, run benchmarks and other performance tests, entered all sorts of weird language into Command Prompt, and studied Activity Monitor - I can't find a single red flag that would indicate anything being wrong. It appears to be a perfectly functioning, updated computer.
    I'm thinking a piece of hardware failed that triggered the error with the SSD. I'm not really sure though since all of my performance tests indicate perfectly functioning hardware. I'm a little afraid to take it to the Apple store because I know they'll tell me it's my fault for opening the computer and replacing the hard drive in the first place.
    Any ideas? At this point anything to salvage this computer would be helpful.

    Spin Cycle,
    were those other computers which were able to recognize your SSD in its external enclosure also Macs? Do you know if your SSD has its most recent firmware revision installed? (If it doesn’t, its installer can be downloaded from the Samsung SSD firmware page for burning onto a bootable DVD.) I haven’t used the 830 myself, so I don’t know what its reputation is with Macs. I have an 840 PRO in my MacBook Pro, which has been trouble-free for me, but my understanding is that the 840 EVO has had trouble with Macs in its earlier firmware revisions — so I’m wondering if the 830 has a known track record with Macs, good or bad.

  • HTTP.SYS fails to load after ProLiant NIC driver update on Server 2008 R2

    Hi team,
    This has been driving me crazy for a week and I can't find any reference to solving the problem in Technet or any forums...
    I have a ProLiant ML350G5 server that I installed Server 2008 R2 on and migrated all my domain AD, DNS, File Services, Shares and files from SBS2003 (end of life, so let's take that out of the network) - Exchange and SharePoint were not being used so Standard
    server 2008 was the choice seeing that the server hardware is 4 years old...
    Everything went well, migration was successful, AD was primary and active.
    Then (stupidly) I decided I'd better install all the updated drivers and management software from HP. The NIC is showing as an HP NC373i which is a Broadcom BCM5708C. I updated the FLASH in that card (HP utility) and updated the driver to the latest version
    7.8.52.0 along with a bunch of other updates all handled by HP's Support Solutions Framework (msi).
    After the reboot required, I noticed that the Print Spooler (set to Automatic) didn't start, neither did IIS or Web Services...
    Trying to manually start them gives the error that a dependency failed. Now Print Spooler only uses HTTP (no longer a "service" but integrated into the kernel for multiple http connections on the same port and controlled using netsh http command
    prompt...) DCOM and RPC. The last 2 are running, so that leaves HTTP as the culprit.
    The Event Log shows that HTTP failed to load as "the services cannot be started. Either because it is disabled or because
    it has no enabled devices associated with it"
    From an administrator cmd prompt, net start http gives the same failure error.
    netsh http show servicestate returns "The handle is invalid" - it's not seeing http at all...
    OK. If you've read this far, thank you - keep going...
    Here's my thinking... Updating the NIC driver has "broken" the association with HTTP.SYS - How to I get that association back?
    I uninstalled anything http related, IIS, BITS, Web, Printing Services. Reboot after reboot and still no HTTP. I deleted http.sys from \windows\system32\drivers and did sfc to get windows to give me a clean one. Reboot, still doesn't load so it's not a damaged
    http.sys.
    I uninstalled EVERYTHING ProLiant, uninstalled the NIC, deleted the bxnd60a.sys driver so Windows would use it's own, rebooted, let it load NIC drivers, set the IP's up again, reboot - still no http.sys loading...
    I've tried older versions of drivers from Broadcom, the latest version of drivers, still in the same hole...
    Does anyone know how I can get HTTP.SYS to associate with the NIC? Can I do anything in the registry to achieve this? Do I have to do a System State Backup (is that the only way to preserve the AD and DNS?) scrub the server and start from scratch and then
    restore the System State to get my AD and DNS back? If I do that will it bring the http.sys fault back?
    I'm really at a loss - please, someone, please help...

    I uninstalled EVERYTHING ProLiant, uninstalled the NIC, deleted the bxnd60a.sys driver so Windows would use it's own, rebooted, let it load NIC drivers, set the IP's up again, reboot - still no http.sys loading...
    I've tried older versions of drivers from Broadcom, the latest version of drivers, still in the same hole...
    Does anyone know how I can get HTTP.SYS to associate with the NIC? Can I do anything in the registry to achieve this? Do I have to do a System State Backup (is that the only way to preserve the AD and DNS?) scrub the server and start from scratch and then restore
    the System State to get my AD and DNS back? If I do that will it bring the http.sys fault back?
    I'm really at a loss - please, someone, please help...

  • Solaris 10 installation problems through IP-KVM and Realtek NIC drivers

    I'm on an IP-KVM connection to the server, the installation failed with the message:
    ERROR: Could not create the product file
    ERROR: Could not install all packages. Product installation failed
    mkdir: "/a/var/sadm/launcher": I/O error
    Could not install all packages. Product installation failed
    I tried a full install, I'm going to remove some of the unnecessary packages from the install list and try again. This media has been successfully used to install before so I'm hoping that would work. If anyone has any info though regarding the failure, please advice.
    One of the problems is that the IP-KVM doesn't allow me to power the server off and on. When the install fails in the desktop console mode like this, is there a way to send a command to reboot the server? Sending ctrl-alt-del through the kvm client doesn't do anything. In case this happens again I'd like to be able to reboot myself.
    I'm retrying the install in the console desktop mode so if it fails again I can probably open up a terminal window and issue the reboot command.
    Also, the install is not recognizing the Realtek nic. It's an onboard controller in an Intel motherboard. Has anyone had any luck/tips on getting the drivers from www.realtek.co.tw to work? I haven't gotten to that stage yet but any advice would be appreciated for when I do.
    Thanks

  • How to install NIC driver

    I'm very new to Solaris and I need to install RealTek 8169 driver. How do I unzip and install? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Where did you get the driver? This page perhaps?
    http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/
    If so, here are the instructions for compiling and installing it:
    1. Introduction
    This is the Realtek RTL8169/8110 giga bit ethernt NIC driver for Solaris.
    It is distributed under the BSD license.
    2. Specification of the driver
    File name of the driver: /kernel/drv/gani
    Special file name: /dev/ganiN (Where N is a unit number, typcally 0 for first
    card)
    For example
    % ifconfig gani0
    RTL8169/8110 chipset dosn't support 1Gbpis half duplex mode.
    Currently gani driver isn't stable on sparc platforms.
    Tested OS version
    Solaris10 x86 3/05 (Athlon 2800+ w/ VIA K8T800 chipset)
    Solaris10 x86 3/05 (Athlon 3000+ w/ nVIDIA nForce4 CH8-04 Ultra chipset)
    Tested cards
    RTL8169s -- Planex Communications GN-1200TC
    RTL8169s -- Corega CG-LAPCIGT
    3. Preparing for installation
    (1) Install your PCI card and boot Solaris.
    (2) Copy source and binary files.
    # gunzip -cd gani-x.x.x.tar.gz | tar xf -
    (3) Add hostname for the NIC card into /etc/hosts file
    (4) Make links to correct binary directory and Makefile according to your
    configuration. i386 and gcc are default.
    % cd /.../gani-x.x.x
    % rm obj Makefile
    % ln -s Makefile.${KARCH}_${COMPILER} Makefile
    % ln -s ${KARCH} obj
    where ${KARCH} is the result of `isainfo -n`, and ${COMPILER} is
    "gcc" or "suncc" which you want to use to make the driver.
    (5) Making binaries (only for sparc platform)
    Gani driver is ready for 64bit and 32bit solaris8 10/00 sparc or
    later. (But currently it is unstable on sparc platforms.)
    This distribution does not include sparc binaries. To make the binaries,
    you need Sun C compiler or gcc version 3, and do the following operations.
    % /usr/ccs/bin/make
    4. Testing
    Testing before installation is strongly recommended.
    # cd /.../gani-x.x.x
    # /usr/ccs/bin/make install
    # ./adddrv.sh
    # /usr/ccs/bin/make uninstall (for solaris7, don't remove the file )
    # modload obj/gani
    # devfsadm -i gani (for solaris7, use drvconfig and reboot with -r )
    # ifconfig ganiN plumb ( where N is an instance number, typcally 0 for first card)
    # ifconfig -a ( you will see an entry for ganiN)
    # ifconfig ganiN YOUR-HOST-NAME
    # ifconfig ganiN ( ensure IP address is correct)
    # ifconfig ganiN up ( and then you can test with ping, telnet, ftp ...)
    5. Installation
    After you ensure that the gani driver is fully functional, install it.
    (1) install the gani driver into the kernel directory
    # cd /.../gani-x.x.x
    # /usr/ccs/bin/make install
    If you do not test the gani driver yet, execute the following commands:
    # ./adddrv.sh
    # devfsadm -i gani (for solaris7, use drvconfig and reboot with -r)
    (2) Configure the network interface. Create and/or modify the following file:
    /etc/hostname.ganiN
    (3) Reboot the system.
    # init 6

  • K8T NEO Realtek AMD64 driver

    It's unofficial, but with a little bit of fiddling the driver works.
    I tried some and as far as I remember install "manually" by using the second inf file in the WinXP folder.
    Well I'm on a WinXP64 machine using these drivers to connect to this forum.
    Thx to lgoldson!

    Creative Live! driver request:
    Creative (Asia) gave an answer that tells little:
    "Thank you for contacting technical support.
    Regarding your enquiry, I'm sorry to inform you that at this current
    moment, we do not have support driver for Windows XP 64-bit.
    Hope that answer your query"
    Creative America was bureacratic. Wanted to know the exact model and annoying about warning about OEM card. Which my card isn't. Bulk Yes. OEM NO.
    So no answer at all from them really
    Creative Europe: Still waiting.

    Realtek onboard AC97 sounddriver request:
    Realtek sounded more positive on the onboard soundchip(ALC655) driver. At least they're busy developing it.
    And I got the beta AMD64 NIC driver from Realtek. Sso I have more hope in getting the Realtek onboard soundchip AMD64 driver soon, then a driver from Creative for my Live!

  • Imminent hard drive failure message

    can i return my laptop to the store for a replacement.. it is less than 5 months old and i am getting an imminent hard drive failure message. totally unacceptable

    HP will replace the hard drive under warranty. Not too many stores will permit a return after 5 mos. We can also assist with a hard drive replacement.

  • Data Recovery After Hard Drive Failure!

    Ok, basically, I've got a 2 1/2 year old iBook G4 with a bombed hard drive, and unfortunately, the last time I backed up was around 3 months ago. Here's what happened right before the crash: some applications like Widgets and Safari were acting fluky, and it wouldn't let me open Word documents, so I restarted, because I thought it might have something to do with the fact that i had downloaded the new version of itunes not that long ago and hadn't restarted since. well, when i restarted, the gray screen with the wheel and the apple symbol went on for a really long time, and then the blue screen came up with the cursor, but nothing else happened, and the blue screen just stayed there. as far as i know, the hard drive wasn't making any unusual noises, just the usual occasional soft sounds that my hard drive has always made (there are usual sounds, right?) a piece of information that might be useful is that the hard drive was almost full (it only had about 5 GB left, which i understand is how much you should leave) could this have caused the failure maybe? anyway, i tried using the hard drive as a target and tried getting another computer to recognize it and pull the files off, but that didn't work. so, i brought it into the apple store, and they got it to boot up but using some external hard drive, i think. they tried disk utility, but that didn't see my hard drive. then the tried disk warrior, and that saw it and repaired it or something, but then it couldn't get the drive to mount. so, i'm assuming that because disk warrior didn't work and couldn't get it to mount, then other software like data rescue, etc... won't either. like all computer users, i've got some REALLY REALLY important data on there, and all the data recovery places i've gotten quotes from are pretty pricey. if the drive doesn't require physical data recovery, only non-physical, as i hope, the cheapest is still $350. even so, the person on the phone there didn't seem to know nearly as much as the people at the more pricier places. so, are there any other options besides expensive data recovery? i read something about using dd - a unix thing, but i don't know the first thing about it (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050302225659382) so i'm not sure i want to risk messing it up even more. and, if worse comes to worst, then i'll use a data recovery place... but can anyone tell me if they've used any of the data recovery companies below, and which ones are good?
    (first three do evaluation for free, and then you decide if you want to continue based on more accurate price idea)
    MacintoshDataRecovery.com
    $500 non physical
    $1100-1600 physical
    Heroic Efforts
    http://www.heroicdata.com/data_recovery
    $350 non physical
    ships to another (very expensive) place if physical
    ACS Data Recovery
    http://www.acsdata.com/index.htm
    $600-700 non physical
    DriveSavers.com
    (recommended by Apple, probably the best, but the most steep, too)
    could cost anywhere from $500-$2700 and $200 evaluation fee even if data is unrecoverable
    Since this is our fourth hard drive failure in four different iBooks in 2 1/2 years, i am starting to become seriously disillusioned about the quality of the hardware Apple uses...not that i would ever get a dell or anything, but still....
    THANK YOU in advance for any tips you might be able to offer, and also for reading this extremely long post!

    I have read good reports concerning Data Rescue although I have not used it myself.
    Once you get your data back, focus on a regular (even daily) backup routine, because as you know only so well, the question is not if a drive will fail, it's when.
    My condolences, by the way.
