Actually NO.  Neither would suit me.

 

I am not suggesting or recommending how you spend your money, if at all.

 

I attempted to point out some considerations, and that is all.

Re: does Pavilion g6 2105sz have a problematic UEFI ?

$

I decided to lose a few hours of my life. After about 10 of them, I came up with some stuff:

 

1) on my question 1: yes, I do have UEFI. That ugly text only menu is the UEFI menu on Pavilion g6 2105sz.

2) on my question 3: I booted a USB stick with a windows 10 installation. So yes, it does boot from USB sticks.However, it refuses to boot any rescue USB and any Linux Distribution bootable usb. I tried with Ubuntu, Linux Mint 19.1 and Backbox linux. All these bootable USB sticks boot up just fine on my desktop. My pavilion just refuses to start any of them. It just won't start anything else than windows bootable stick.

3) on my question 2: I gave up hope on using this crappy UEFI menu, so I installed windows just to do a BIOS / UEFI upgrade. Problem is, I have windows 10, on the support site I can only find BIOS upgrade for windows 8.

 

New set of questions:

#1: Do Pavilions have any specific preference with windows bootable sticks and / or hate for linux? How can it be that it just refuses to boot anything else? Is it "locked" or anything like that for MS products?

#2: Should I download the windows 8 BIOS upgrade if I have windows 10 or do I risk destroying the laptop?

Hi:

 

Hi:

 

The code generated, Hard Disk 1 Quick Test Failure, means the hard drive needs to be replaced and the operating system reinstalled.

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.   The HDD R & R procedure can be found in chapter 4.

 

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03599931

 

After you replace the hard drive, if you don't have a way to reinstall W8.1, you can do so as follows...

 

Install W8.1 by creating the Microsoft installation media, using another Windows PC, if yours is not working...You want W8.1 64 bit

 

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8ISO

 

Only if you are asked to enter a product key during the installation process, use this generic key.

 

This is the generic key for W8.1 'standard.'

 

 334NH-RXG76-64THK-C7CKG-D3VPT

 

If you had to enter the generic key, manually change the generic product key to the W8.1 'standard' key in your PC's BIOS in the PC settings menu.

 

After you get W8.1 installed, and you had to manually enter the W8.1 generic product key, you will need to run the free utility I zipped up and attached below, that will show you show the W8.1 product key in your PC's BIOS.

 

I have also zipped up and attached below, the Microsoft tool which hopefully will transfer the ISO file to a DVD or usb flash drive so it is bootable.

 

Then you can install the available drivers and software from your PC's support page.

Hi

""What do I need to do to fix my Notebook?""

 

Dunno.

 

if the error message can be trusted, install an OS (operating system), end of.

 

ELSE

 

If you have data to protect or recover then Create a Repair/Re-Install DVD/USB of the appropriate OS.

Find use another PC, college, family, friends whatever and use...

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Create Windows 10 installation media

To get started, you will first need to have a license to install Windows 10. You can then download and run the media creation tool. For more information on how to use the tool, see the instructions below.

 
Then boot from it.  DONT INSTALL.
W8 Repair.pngRecovery Reinstall.pngW7 and W10 Repair.png
Use the repair option.
Then Command Prompt and type   C:\   when the X:\ screen shows.
If thst works then a lot of your data is C:\Users
and you can perhaps copy it off.
 
If in doubt please ask.

Need help with missing Operating System

I have been using my work allocated HP Elite for personal record-keeping. Yesterday, when I fired it up, the laptop said there was no operating system installed. I also noticed a faint "beeping" coming from behind an illuminated Caps Lock key. I have no

 other device to use to troubleshoot with HP (which is why I amwriting this from local library computer)

My primary, panic-fuelled question to this community of knowlegeable users is the following: Does this mean that all of my work related, and personal record keeping documents on this laptop, photos, etc. are gone? regardless of whether ot not the missing Operating system can be "fixed" or "found"?

Hi:

 

If the factory reset failed, the only suggestion I can offer would be to clean install W10 as follows...

 

To reinstall W10...Use the Media Creation Tool.  Make the 64 bit installation media.

 

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

 

You can make a W10 USB flash drive installer using an 8 GB flash drive using another Windows PC, if your PC is not working.

 

If you are asked to enter a product key during the installation process, select the 'I don't have a product key' option, and W10 will install and automatically activate once you are connected to the internet.

 

Here are the steps to create the W10 USB flash drive installer...

 

  1. Select Download tool now, and select Run.
  2. If you agree to the license terms, select Accept.
  3. On the What do you want to do? page, select Create installation media for another PC, and then select Next.
  4. Select the language, edition, and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit) for Windows 10. You want 64 bit.

  5. Select which media you want to use:
  6. USB flash drive.  Plug in a blank USB flash drive with at least 8GB of space. Any content on the flash drive will be deleted.

You can also save the W10 ISO file instead of making the bootable USB flash drive installer, and burn it to a DVD using the tool I zipped up and attached below if you would rather use a DVD to reinstall W10.

 

Then you can reinstall the drivers and available software from the PC's support page.
