Remember: Do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc.

 

I suggest you follow the below steps and ensure you change the settings for both - "On battery" and "Plugged in" to make this work:

  1. Open the Control Panel in Large icons view. Click Power Options.
  2. Click the “Choose what closing the lid does” link in the left side panel.
  3. If the options are grayed out, you have to click the “Change settings that are currently unavailable” link at the top.
  4. Open the drop-down list next to the “When I close the lid” option. Select “Do nothing” under both “On battery” and “Plugged in“.
  5. Click Save changes. Now, when you close the laptop lid, Windows will still keep running, without losing any unsaved work or suspending your downloads.

Let me know how that pans out,

Re: Windows 10 install fails ... no drives found

Hi Paul, I wanted to follow up with you.

 

I downloaded the HP cloud recovery tool again.  Found a Windows 10 Pro PC and spent a couple of hours making the USB image.  Took it home and get ... no HDD found error.

 

So, I tried chatting with HP support but the technician wasn't responsive (no replies to questions) so I disconnected from the chat session.  To my surprise, the technician opened a case for the problem.   I've no idea what happens to an HP case but there is one opened.  Looked around HP site and don't see anywhere to look up a case.

 

Sooooo ... I am going to query the community to see if anyone knows how to get around the HP recovery tool not finding any drives.   I am sitting here just shaking my head.  🙂

 

Bug in HP Cloud Recovery Tool

The SDD died in this laptop.   I found the exact same SDD on Amazon and installed it.  BIOS HD test passed but Windows install media couldn't see any drives on the laptop.   I burned a Linux Mint install DVD and installed Linux just fine on the laptop.   I was puzzled.  How is it possible for Linux to see the SDD but nobody else can?

 

Then, I learned about the existence of the HP Cloud Recovery Tool.   Went over to DELL computers and found a nice article about OEM cloud recovery.   Sweet!   Now I am guaranteed to get all the drivers I need for the laptop.   I followed instructions and created the HP Cloud Recovery Image on a USB drive.   Takes a long time but completed just fine.

 

Ok, took the USB drive over to my laptop.  Mind you ... this is the recovery image for this particular HP product.  Right!   I had high expectations.  YES!    Nope.   Booting off the recovery image USB I get the error .. no HD found.   Doesn't matter if its a UEFI boot or Legacy.  Yeah, secure boot is disabled too.   Seriously?

 

This is crazy stuff.   I was hoping somebody had seen this bug and could tell me how they got around it.   The SDD is alive and well on this laptop.   Linux and the laptop BIOS think so too.    Gosh ... anybody have a clue?

I just did a hard reset on my notebook and then i was re installing my software but at the end the “Restoration Incomplete” tab came up and it won’t go away. How do i get rid of that?

Thank you for posting back. 

 

 Let's recover the BIOS using a key press combination.

  1. Turn off the computer, and then connect the power cord.

  2. Press and hold the Windows key and the B key at the same time, and then press and hold the Power button for 2 to 3 seconds.

    Keyboard highlighting the key presses for BIOS recovery

  3. Release the Power button but continue pressing the Windows and B keys. You might hear a series of beeps.

A BIOS update gone wrong can totally render your PC useless and irrepairable unless the entire comuter gets serviced.

If I use the Windows install media to get a command prompt ... diskpart list disk returns ... no disks.   I figure this is because it is not an OEM install image and lacks the proper drivers.  However, If I run the driverquery cmd I do see the storage driver for the Intel rapid storage chipset running.  I was thinking ... ok ... I need the HP factory image for this laptop.   However, the HP Cloud Recovery tool also cannot see any physical volumes (disks) and it won't allow me to get a cmd prompt to look around.

 

There is already logical ext4 volume on the SDD physical volume ... because I installed Linux Mint on the laptop.  Linux runs just fine on the laptop.   However, I bought the laptop specifically to run Windows 10.

 

Do you think there is a specific logical volume I need to create or a specific partitioning scheme I need to use?  The link clearly shows a GPT + NTFS as the preferred volume management scheme.

 

Thanks so much for looking at this problem.

 

I don't have anther Windows PC in my house.   I could remove the SDD and put it in an external closure and access it as a

I can remove the SDD and install it in an SDD enclosure.  Then, partition and format it by plugging it into another Windows 10 PC but am thinking that the 2nd Windows PC won't see the SDD either.

 

I could try to reinstall Linux ... with the correct Windows required Disk initialization.  ?

They WHO fixed it?  If it was not HP, then you might have voided the warranty and would now have to pay dearly to have it factory reset.

You didn't provide any useful details about WHY you tried to reset the PC, but this is not the miracle cure that most folks tend to believe it is -- quite the opposite -- if the drive is damaged or corrupted in any way, this is liable to leave your PC unusable.

 

If your PC is new enough to support UEFI, you can use these steps to test the hard drive: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00439024

If not, to check the drive you have to follow these steps:
1) Press Esc key repeatedly, several times a second, while rebooting the laptop. Do NOT hold the key down, just press it over and over.
2) Eventually, you will see an HP Startup Menu -- that will look similar to the image below ...

3) press the Function key for testing the hard drive (usually F2) and let it run.

Please report back the test results.

It was some local computer repair shop, "Affordable Computer Repair"  was it's name, they got a website too. I'm not one to cast suspicion, but this was NOT a problem I had before they had to wipe my drive returning it to Factory specs. I know this Laptop is already 2-3 yrs old now and likely there's better out there anyway...but still.

After 36hrs in installing software loop, lost power

After trying to restore system to original settings, it ended up in a "installing software" loop for 36hrs at which point we lost power so the computer turned off. If I get a recovery kit, will that take care of everything needed? I don't know anything about it...does the drive need to be formatted and partitioned? Will the recovery kit do that? Or do I need to give up and visit geek squad?

Laptop start issue with error message of system diagnostic and boot devise not found 

Перестал быть виден ssd m2

Пару месяцев назад установил на ноут ssd m2 (42x22)на 120gb. Поставил на него windows 10, а старый hdd остался как хранилище для файлов без ОС. Все было хорошо, ноут летал, пока внезапно не появился синий экран с ошибкой 0xc000000e. Я тогда ничего не устанавливал и не обновлял, просто в одном окне играла музыка  а в другом я чатился в телеграме.

Появился синий экран с надписью:

Recovery

you PC/Device needs to be repaired

error code:0xc000000e

и 4 выбора действия:

enter  (при нажатии ничего не происходит, только мигает экран)

F1 (перезагружается и все по новой)

F8 (при нажатии ничего не происходит, только мигает экран)

esc (перезагружается и все по новой)

Перестал видеть ssd. Пробовал восстановить систему с помощью флешки с которой ранее и была установлена 10ка на ssd но не находит сам ssd. Автоматическое восстановление не помогает. Прописывал в консоле по гайдам(fixmbr, fixboot, rebuildbcd) - не помогает и с помощью recovery drive - не помогает. Сканирование SFC и CHKDSK показывает CD-rom, флешку, efi и не показывает ssd. Восстановление образа через Dism тоже не помогает. Все советы по консоли не помогают т.к. просто перестал быть виден ssd. В биосе все настройки такие же как и стояли. Вынимал ssd и ставил обратно, старый жосткий тоже снимал и ставил обратно. Пробовал все перечисленное выше со снятым hdd и наоборот. Думал может это гнездо под ssd лагает и под разными углами фиксировал ssd, включал и проверял все заново - не помогло. Просто внезапно перестал видеть ssd. 0a8ad0a4-94b3-4356-9079-0554fffb6317.jpg3e0038e6-7e67-456e-8965-1702a5cc97ab.jpgf19f12b7-cfed-4688-b579-14130abe4b52.jpg

‘no hard drive installed’

After a hard drive check I get ‘no hard drive installed’. What do I do??

Re: Bug in HP Cloud Recovery Tool

Thought I'd update this thread in case anyone is reading it.

 

I chatted with HP support and they suggested I call HP level 2 support.   Hmm.  I had no idea I had to make different calls to support levels. Otherwise, I'd have skipped level 2 and called level 3 and opened a defect.

 

I removed the SDD and put it in an external enclosure.  Plugged it in as a USB drive and now diskpart can see it.   So, I demolished the Linux install I had, creating a GPT + EFI + NTFS disk.  All was reported as healthy by diskpart.  Then, I dismantled the external SDD enclosure and put the SDD back into the laptop.  Drum roll please ... but the HP Cloud Recovery Tool still reports ... no drive found.

 

The HP cloud recovery tool works just fine ... it creates a recovery boot image.   However, the recovery boot image doesn't work one bit.  For some reason, none of the Windows code, including this OEM recovery image, can access an installed SDD drive in this laptop.  Amazing.

 

I have given up.
