I purchased a HP ENVY Phoenix 860VX Desktop with a 256 GB SSD drive as the boot drive with a 1TB storage drive.  I have a Samsung Evo Pro 500GB SSD that I want to use as the boot drive.  I cloned the original drive to the Samsung Evo without a problem.  I opened the case of the PC to switch hard drives, and I can't find the SSD drive.  I found the 1 TB storage drive easy enough but can't find the SSD drive.  Can anybody help?

Vista Home Premium to Windows 10

I have an HP Pavillion with MANY upgrades.  AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 2.5GHz, 4.00GB RAM, 32-bit OS,  931 GB capacity, GeForce GTX 650 video Card, DirectX runtime 11.0.  Ran Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and it said:

HP Pavillion might give me more info (couldn't find anything), Update Netgear WNA3100 N300 Wireless USB Adapter, Update NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Mbps Ethernet... the rest are programs that might not run on the new OS.  So my question is can I purchase Windows 10 and install it on my HP Pavillion?  Can someone smarter than I, please advise me on what to do from here?  Since I just got a new Hard drive, I do not have anything on it... so now is the time.  I have installed a couple of programs...do I need to uninstall them so I can us the registration code when I reinstall on a new OS?

I had a wireless keyboard "hooked" to my desktop but one day I came back to my computer and it had the famous blue screen on my monitor. My keyboard was not recognized  and so I bought a wired keyboard to see if that would work but unfortunately the wired keyboard was not recognized either. So I am trying to figure out what be wrong with my computer and if someone can tell me how I can fix it. Is it the motherboard? I can't seem to press F10 or F11 to restart or reset the system from the blue screen......

Read raw image with smart array controller

0

Hi,

I have a RAID10 that crashed. At first disk#1 and then disk#3. So i want to read even 1 of these disks with a HBA controller (raw reading) in order to recover them.

I found that P410 controller which is the controller of the crashed server can be made HBA with firmware upgrade and utility but HP warn not to connect RAID disks to HBA mode. So i think to buy a HBA controller as H220.

The first question is whether i will read (raw) the disk if i change P410 to HBA or I will lose data.

The second question is if I buy H220 can i read the data raw in order to create an image and then write to another healhty disk?. What software for the image you are proposing?

Thanks all

 

Updating bios error message

I just downloaded sp59218, a BIOS update  and the update failed. 

 

The error I get is:

The system BIOS update file (C:User\(name)\Download\ROM.CAB) is missing or corrupt.  The system BIOS will not be updated.

 

Anyone else had this issue?  Anyone here from HP with recommendations or how to fix this problem and proceed the BIOS update?

 

NOTE: I'm not familiar with F10 way update....i prefer from Windows directly.

Thank you in advance for help!
