I got an error message when Windows boots that I have imminent hard drive failure.
I purchased a new HD and I am trying to do a fresh install of OS onto the new hard drive.
I made a rescue USD (Windows 10) and tried to use that but I get an install fail.
I have also used the HP recovery disc and Windows repair discs (Windows 7) that I made when I first got my computer.
That also fails to install.
What else can I do?
Thanks
Spent 8 hours after Microsoft automatically downloaded Win 10 to my machine (my fault for having auto updates) only to find that HP says my machine not tested by HP for win 10..
Now worried that I will not be able to upgrade free by July 30th. Will HP comply with Microsoft or vice versa? Can I get an extension from Microsoft?
Not sure why HP has not tested my machine for Win 10?
Getting message from Windows that "hard drive failure" is going to happen on my 2TB drive. Ordered from HP the re-install pack. Is there a way to fix the existing drive? Anyone else had this happen?
I bought this new laptop and i want to install windows 7 instead of 10 that is preinstalled. i could not even though i downloaded the iso file from microsoft website directly. it keeps restarting the installation procces and then says on a black screen that windows could not verify the signature on the app.
Thank you
My computer has done no updates in a very long time, when I went to go and find out why I found that the settings were changed by an admin account. I own the only account on this PC and it is an admin account however this screen will now allow me to change these admin seetings. Is there any solution to this?
I don't know where else to post this.
I am getting weekly calls from 1-800-474-6836 he says he is HP Tech Support and they have been monitoring my PC and I need Repairs Emergency. I know I don't need anytthing But these calls are so anoying and I can hardly understand the man.
Can this be HP calling ? If so it is Harrasing Calls. Also when I search the number on the enternet everys thisg says H P
Thanks for the help (I hope )

HP Pavilion p7-1254 - Win 7 64 Bit
After working just fine, CD/DVD drive has disappeared completely. Does NOT show up in Device Manager or Disk Management....My Computer etc..
Was going to use the Microsoft Fixit tool, but it has been discontinued for my OS, Win 7 (64).
From googling, this seems to be a common problem.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Have already checked physical connections.
Hi There,
I am working on a friends HP 20 Desktop Computer and I really need help.
She did have Win 8.1 and upgraded to Win 10 - But she is not happy with either or.
Therefore I am in the process of installing Windos 7 Pro (SP1) and I need help, becuase the starting screen just loads and loads without continuing. I had to disable the secure boot function in the BIOS which helped to pass the EFI error message.
What now? I have tried tu unplugg the USB devices, I coudnt fing any floppy settings in the BIOS to deactivate.
Please help, it would be such a blessing for her to have WIN 7 She really loves it.
Cheers Folks,
Grandioso
Greetings,
I may be out in left field.
Having all kinds of unexplainable media problems using Win 7 Pro.
Windows Media player as well as Media Center is DOA.
Tried using Cyberlink Power DVD 15 to play media files on Win 7 Pro with anomalous problems.
Power DVD 15, running on Win 7, would play for a while and then completely shuts down for no apparent reason.
Also having strange stuff going on when using Chrome. You click on a link and get a web server page which then gives an error stating "The site is not available now, try again or go back to the previous page".
I am composing this on Win 10 as Microsoft is killing me.
I give up. The evil empire is beating you one way or the other. There is nothing inherently wrong with my current installation of Windows 7. The people at Redmond are pulling some good stunts to make your Win 7 experience suck. They really want the user to throw in the towel and give up. The folks at Redmond keep telling us "Windows 10 is a much better experience". It sure is when the manufacturer is deliberately sabotaging older operating systems to get the user to upgrade to the latest operating system.
How can a user prove Microsoft is doing something that breaks their software or other vendor's software, which previously worked great on Win 7, but now is broken?
I am listening to music using Windows Media Player on Win 10 as I compose this post. But Windows Media Player is borked on a relatively new install of Windows 7.
**bleep**?
Again, Microsoft is doing bad stuff but no one sounds the alarm.
When does this crap come to an end. When is Microsoft going to be held accountable for this?
I can't prove any of these allegations. But I can say Windows 7 was working great two weeks ago. Now it is messed up.
There is no other explanation, no malware, no hardware problems as the installation is only a couple of months old and the system runs great on Win 10. I did not do anything to Win 7 to cause the types of problems I am now experiencing. I am using the same software and hardware on both installations of windows. Win 7 is now flaky, Win 10 runs great!
I will run Win 7 because I want to. I will use Win 7 until I decide not to.
Microsoft is not going to dictate what operating system I use or control when I make the decision to upgrade the operating system.
I paid for Win 7 and expect it to work until I decide it is time to move on.
Microsoft may be purposefully changing code on Win 7 installations to cause problems.
Is anybody else having strange issues when using Win 7?

I tried to upgrade to windows 10 and I cant because I get this : cant upgrade to windows 10 need mv hook driver2
I had just bought this computer not even a week old, just moments after taking it out of the box and hooking it up and turning it on it has been stuck on the Just a moment page since then, I have tried multiple solutions I've found on the web but none works. I can not access anything at all or do anything for the matter. I am getting frustrated with this product as I had just bought it brand new and it does not even work as it should.
Good Morning,
We recently had to change HP models from the EliteDesk 800 G1 to the 800 G2. In beginning to create an image for them I have ran into a bizzare issue. I image the machine with our basic script Windows 7 install, which only adds the machine to the domain and names the machine the serial number.
It finishes the install and then once it comes back up, I cannot use the USB ports, no keyboard, no mouse, nada. There is also no network driver found. So I'm unsure on how to proceed. I've never run into this, normally I either can get the USB to work and manually load the NIC.
Has anyone else ran into this issue?
Thanks in advance!
Mike
