Hmm @vivid temple Would It be The SATA Emulation section. Its been so Long Since I messed with a HP
livid bluff
Hmm Try Boot Order
hollow lichen
vivid temple
heck knows, thats one of the old custom hp bios (it looks like at least) so ... just about all bets are off :)
vivid temple
start from one end and go through it all
livid bluff
Sum ##### Ok What the Model Number of the Computer So I can see if I can find where the heck its at
vivid temple
Viper / do you have the time to jump on a video call with him?
might make it easier to dig through
livid bluff
Not Really Im Updating my RP server Sheriff Roster
vivid temple
i dont have the time for a call either :)
hollow lichen
sku number???
livid bluff
Nah I got the Info I needed from a Screenshot you sent
hollow lichen
Oh kk
vivid temple
@hollow lichen so, the conclusion is this: Keep googling, and hopefully, at some point, someone has the time to maybe jump on a call with you, incase the relevant info aint available online
livid bluff
Im Got Youtube Video
hollow lichen
So if it’s not on my bios Is there a way I can instal a new bios
livid bluff
Darnnit It was just how to change the Boot ORder. No Its IN The BIOS its just buried in the menus somewhere
hollow lichen
Okie
livid bluff
Nope That MotherBoard Does Not Support a UEFI BIOS at all.
So there is no Option for it.
hollow lichen
Hmm
livid bluff
@vivid temple Does HP Compaq dc7900 have UEFI BIOS? no its an older 775 setup no uefi motherboard bios. Found this answer in Steam Forums
And It amkes sense as that system was only desinged to handle Up to Windows 7 Possibly 8.1
livid bluff
It would have been Upgraded From 7 then from within the Windows Environment then
hollow lichen
Hm
livid bluff
Thats The Only Way I can feasibly think of that it would have had 10 on it
@vivid temple Would I be correct on that?
hollow lichen
Does it need to have that if I just upgrade using media creation tool??
vivid temple
if the bios is stubborn enough
going windows 7, then upgrading
can be the simple way
problem is custom bios on boards like that
heck knows what is actually "cooking" under the hood of them
livid bluff
Right
So The Windows 7 install To Windows 10 Might be the best option just because the BIOS is being Stupid and Stubborn at this point. Thats just my opinion. Yes its a longer Process but at the same time might resolve quite a few headaches as Win 10 will configure itself to the hardware
cinder mauve
windows 10 does not require uefi btw
livid bluff
Newer Versions For Some reason Do need a UEFI. At least in my experience with Building Systems anyway
cinder mauve
also what the hell is going on with your capitalization
i feel like i'm having a stroke
vivid temple
@cinder mauve no, it doesnt (technically). But as mentioned, welcome to custom bios'
@cinder mauve if you have a problem with the way he types, please take it up in a PM with him :)
livid bluff
Sorry. Im in college and when having to write 600+word papers ever week it becomes habit when you have to make a statement or type in a quote from a Cited Source
But yeah It seems His system requires a UEFI setup for Win 10 to install from the USB thumbdrive
cinder mauve
so one other thing to consider: how did you prep the thumbdrive?
livid bluff
From what we know he used MEdia Creation Tool
cinder mauve
ah
could you try having him use Rufus?
in it you can specify that it's for legacy BIOS
which should solve your issue
livid bluff
I havent heard of that software before
Then again Ive never had to create a Thumbdrive for a Legacy BIOS since I have a Win10 install disc
cinder mauve
Rufus is excellent for making bootable flash drives for just about anything.
If you supply it with the Win 10 ISO you'll be good to go
livid bluff
@hollow lichen You Get All That
hollow lichen
Yess
livid bluff
ok

hey guys, my windows 10 keeps doing this thing where it aoutomaticall scolls down or points down with my mouse if im in a game and its only with games or windows 10 stuff, not chrome or discrod, and i cant go through my settings as it keeps scrolling down and selecting the wrong stuff, has anyone got any ideas on a fix
its not hardware based btw

Hi guys I have a gl504 and i can not find where to change my ram speed. Bios has no forms of overclocking at all is there something I'm missing?
hot shell
@livid bluff The Manual shows 2 methods for changing the boot order 1. in the bios 2 pressing F10 during post will bring up a boot drive menu
livid bluff
@hot shell The System Naed and I were helping with is a older Intel 775 or 755 type board wich does not have a UEFI option in the BIOS whatsoever
Its Just Not Supported
Hence why the Option at that point became Installing Win 7 and Doing a Inplace Upgrade at that point since he was unsecsesful in Installing from the USB drive at that point
He already had the Boot ORder Set properly for booting from the USB to Install Windows
hot shell
IC I posted that info from the manual yes there is no UEFI but there still should be a bios assessable on post maybe delete or f2 if he lost the hard drive he's going to need a key for windows 7 Don't think windows 10 will install on anything lower than win 7 sp1 manf date of 2008 its possible it was upgraded to windows 7
livid bluff
From what we know it had 7 on it preinstalled from HP, It was Updated to 10 from bt the previous owner and then the Hard Drive Failed
hot shell
the pc was manf. 2008 so it more than likely came with Vista Preinstalled as Windows 7 didn't happen till mid 2009 he's probably going to need to find a super cheap laptop or pc off of craigslist or the goodwill and clone the hard drive if he just wants a pc for general purpose maybe installing a Linux derivative would be simpler like Mint
sand bronze
can someone help me with updating driver or checking connectivity? i just put in a new video card and i'm udpating the software and the 400 meg driver took a long time to complete. and right now i have a windows update just sitting at "installing - 0%"
slender rose
If I build a completely new system and carry over my old drive as the boot drive would I need to reinstall Windows?
sand bronze
the os should boot up from the drive i'd think
slender rose
Oh ok
sand bronze
@slender rose you can update all the drivers and stuff once you boot up. but if you have abootable drive from one computer and move it to another its as if you moved the computer to a new hardware set
I cant figure out why my install is stuck and i updated drive from power color site and it looks like i just reinstalled software again... meh
and theres 100% of my disk in use fo rsome reason... now i'm confused lol
slender rose
What if down the road I buy an SSD and install Windows on it, is there anything I have to do with the old drove
Drive
last gorge
i would backup the data you need and just wipe it, if you install windows while another drive in pc already has windows it will make a boot loader thing on startup where you select which windows to use, i find it annoying. Some people also like to clone their drive and use that
slender rose
Oh I see
I just wanted to avoid the pain of having to redownload my larger games because my internet is extremely slow
sand bronze
Now my windows icon won't work to restart lol...
Anyway to figure out why my HD is at one hundred percent? I can't see anything actually using it
hot shell
Task manager isn't showing what's utilizing the cpu? unless you also cant bring up task master is it trying to update and also install the new drivers?
sly heath
I'm trying to boot through a USB stick while on the UEFI, but it's only popping up with "USB: Sandisk" and not "UEFI: Sandisk." Any ideas?
hot shell
@sly heath see if any of this can help https://neosmart.net/wiki/boot-usb-drive/#Shortcut_keys
sly heath
Would I need to format my USB?
I'm not seeing any sort of "secure boot option" to disable
hot shell
Is yours a newer or older PC
It would be in the uefi or bios or you may not have have it if its an older pc
sly heath
It's new. It might be under an entirely different name
hot shell
It sounds like you have to format it as a UEFI boot device so it will show up as a UEFI USB
sly heath
Alright. I'll see how to go about that
hot shell
Many in here recommend you use Rufus its and open source tool for creating a UEFI bootable flash drive
sly heath
Apparently you can have Microsoft automatically change your USB to UEFI when installing Windows onto it
hot shell
Thats what I read also
sly heath
Everything worked perfectly!
last gorge
Some mobos when it doesn’t say UEFI just means it is booting in legacy
Not sure if that is the case here

sometime it help to turn off and back on set time automatically

I have a quick question. I just built my first pc like 2 weeks ago. I’m going to add an m.2 drive. I’m currently only using a 2.5 ssd. Can I clone it to my new m.2 or is it easier to just reinstall windows?
livid bluff
You can Clone But I think it Would be easier to reinstall Windows so that there is no Driver Issues with the new M.2 drive
obsidian cloak
Thank you that is what I will do
livid bluff
Yeah No Problem. I want a M.2 drive for my system but would only wind up using it to store games on since my OS is already on a SSD
And that SSD is connected to a 6gbs SATA port on my motherboard so there wouldnt really be much of a difference
obsidian cloak
My os is already on an ssd too but i thought if I was adding a m.2 I should probably go ahead and switch it over the os
So I install the m.2, put in my usb installation drive and boot. Should I unplug my current ssd? I want to wipe it clean.
livid bluff
Yeah Unplug the SATA cable from it so the system doesnt read it when You do the Fresh Install of Windows
obsidian cloak
👍🏼 sweet thanks again
livid bluff
Yeah No Problem
obsidian cloak
I know just enough to be dangerous
livid bluff
Same
Although I built my system. Just had to Fix Google Chrome thanks to a Microsoft Update breaking it. Had to change a User Data file in the App data for Chrome. Just had to rename is User Data.BAK and walla Chrome Works again
Otherwise Chrome would open and just crash with no error code
obsidian cloak
Yea I would have tried redownloading chrome until it worked lol
obsidian cloak
Or assumed my ram usage was maxing our lol
livid bluff
I know thats not my case. I have 32gb of DDR4 3000mhz RAM
obsidian cloak
Nice
livid bluff
Yeah. Im a Graphic Desinger and alot of those programs are RAM instensive. Stupid Adobe Creative Cloud
obsidian cloak
I only have 16gb. 3600mhz speed tho
livid bluff
Yeah 3000mhz is my XMP profile. I can make it run faster but my Motherboard Only Supports 3200mhz so not really worth overclocking it anyway. Besides Ive had OS issues when Running the RAM at the Max my MOBO allows
obsidian cloak
Yea I’d go for stability
livid bluff
Yep Thats Why I leave it at the XMP setting. No Issues with OS and Games or even Adobe Creative Cloud
obsidian cloak
So after I get windows installed I’ll plug in the ssd and I’ll have to get it to read it. Will it wipe it clean then?
livid bluff
No You will have to format it. Windows May go into a Dual Boot State where it shows Both Installs of Windows on a Blue Screen. You then Have to figure out which one is on what drive
Once You Boot into the One of the M.2 youll be able to wipe the Drive clean
You Could Always Leave It connected and USe the Windows Installer to format it then close out the Installer shut down the system and Disconnect it. Thats just alot more work
obsidian cloak
Gotcha I think that’s what I was thinking. So how do I format the ssd do I need to boot to bios first and make m.2 boot priority
obsidian cloak
And then boot up and then plug in ssd to format
livid bluff
Yeah
You could hot swap it that way but Windows may or may not read the Drive when Hot swapped in
obsidian cloak
I understood installing the windows on the m.2 but I wasn’t sure how to format the ssd and when I could do it. I know there’s a part at installation where you can pick which drive to install and I thought I could wipe it clean then
livid bluff
You Can
You can Wipe the Drive Fromt he Windows Installer. But you have to make sure you know the Drive Sizes if your going to do it that way so you install the OS to the M.2 and not the SSD. Now if they are the same size you will be having a CRAP shoot essentially on what drive is what.
obsidian cloak
Yea lol they’re both 1tb
livid bluff
Yeah Best bet would be use the Windows Installer to format the SSD then exit out the installation and then Disconnect the SSD
If you were going to do it that way
obsidian cloak
Gotcha but the easiest thing to do is just get up and running on the m.2 and then plug in the ssd and format it
livid bluff
Yep
obsidian cloak
I considered not even switching it
livid bluff
@vivid temple Wann ahelp Him I have to go
vivid temple
@livid bluff aye, have a safe one :)
@obsidian cloak give me a bit to read up
@obsidian cloak okay
any questions ?
obsidian cloak
I can get everything up and running on my m.2 when it comes in. When it comes to formatting the SSD after I plug it in where do I go
obsidian cloak
Yes I just type it in the search bar
vivid temple
or, right click your start button and select it from the list that shows up :)
obsidian cloak
Yea I didn’t know that
And my m.2 will be a c drive so i format the ssd to a d drive
vivid temple
basically yes
let me just verify something
you only have the 2.5 drive right now?
obsidian cloak
Yes
vivid temple
then there should not be anything preventing you from trying to do a clone onto the m.2
its your call what you want to do
obsidian cloak
How do I clone it? And does that wipe clean the ssd also
I assume I need to download something
wraith timber
Drive cloning doesn't wipe the original drive
obsidian cloak
So I’d have to clone and then format it
vivid temple
basically yes
wraith timber
There are quite a few cloning softwares available, I personally used Macrium Reflect, free edition
vivid temple
https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree <- this one
wraith timber
^^
vivid temple
@obsidian cloak the upside to trying a clone is the following:
IF it works, you will be up and running as fast as your drive can clone itself
if it doesnt, you will most likely have used 1 hour on it
wraith timber
I watched a video and read a few things to understand how to clone
What does "used one hour on it" mean?
vivid temple
imo, Reflect is quite user friendly
re: used one hour on it: IF the clone doesnt work, he will have spent 1 hour on something that didnt work out
wraith timber
Ah, I see
obsidian cloak
Instead of reinstalling all drivers and games which will take awhile
wraith timber
It is pretty easy to use. I ran into an issue where it didn't shrink the Windows partition enough to allow for the remaining partitions to also fit on it, so I had to manually input the Windows partition size. It was trial and error to get it just right to where the drive wasn't left with much unformatted space, so I had to reset the prompt a few times before I figured out the right value to shrink my Windows partition to
It was otherwise smooth sailing in my case, though
obsidian cloak
If I clone will I have to go to bios and set boot priority too and probably unplug the sata ssd to after its cloned
vivid temple
hm, i had someone else with the same problem the other day @wraith timber , still waiting for him to get back to me, so i can have a look next time he does it. Because reflect is normally good about doing that correctly
wraith timber
Interesting 
vivid temple
@obsidian cloak bios boot order should be enough
wraith timber
It only took a little math and guessing, so they should be good
obsidian cloak
I fresh installed windows on the ssd like 2 weeks ago so wasn’t too worried about doing it again I just didn’t know what was the best way to get the current ssd wiped clean
vivid temple
disk management :)
because there will be hidden partitions you cannot "see" from file explorer @obsidian cloak
obsidian cloak
Ok well that is helpful I didn’t know too much about disk management because I only had one drive lol
vivid temple
@obsidian cloak when the time comes, just ask :)
obsidian cloak
Sweet thanks for the assistance
vivid temple
you are very welcome :)
shadow jay
@vivid temple can assist you :).. very well
vivid temple
@shadow jay what have you dropped on me this time?
shadow jay
hmm zaky have some troubles
vivid temple
ah yes, i see your questions in #general-chat
why would you reset?
what is slow?
also, please remember the following: i cannot read your mind :)
and there are no stupid questions, only silly answers
your OS is installed on the SSD?
azure sandal
@cinder mauve Are you running on a hard drive?
vivid temple
got a parts list?
cheers
how long have you had the system ?
you running discord client or browser?
okay
azure sandal
Do you have drivers installed?
I know it's kinda cliche to ask but that could definitely be the problem
Did you install drivers for your motherboard/gpu etc?
vivid temple
the "system & chipset drivers" tab
okay
as a test: do the following:
shutdown your chrome
then give me a rough count of seconds for it to start up
nah
"then give me a rough count of seconds for it to start up" <- that
yes
by you clicking on it
okay, something got lost in translation
your current task is the following:
shutdown/close chrome
then start it up
and count how long it takes
that is normal
that is not "slow"
that is what you said :)
as i said earlier, i cannot read your mind :)
smoky pagoda
vivid temple
reset <- is not what you want
i am trying to understand what your problem/desire actually is
smoky pagoda
sometimes loads slow?
vivid temple
so that you dont do something that ends up leaving you in a bind.
smoky pagoda
even if you do 'reset' ... you'll get back to that point
cache fills up, things slow down.
vivid temple
from what you have said so far, it sounds like a user related problem
meaning: have a serious look at what software is actually running/active
because the system you listed, should not have a problem like what you are describing.
IF you really want
you can press start, type reset
smoky pagoda
did you download a buncha crap?
vivid temple
and work around with that
smoky pagoda
have you ever ran a virus scan?
with windows? thirdparty app?
ran defrag/trim ??

finite glen
I wanna copy my os to a SSD through ufei as a backup for if things break what part should I copy to the ssd
finite glen
That's what I'm using I gotta know if its the first one I'm supposed to clone
Or whatever sequence
azure sandal
Looks like do 3 and 4. Except don’t do it yet wait for someone else to confirm what I just said.
Or look up a video on YouTube saying “how to clone OS with macrium reflect” or something along those lines
vivid temple
@finite glen the idea/concept is good
but it is very in-efficient to do
it is much more practical to have systems setup for backup of the data that actually matters
and then "just" have a usb stick with the windows installer on a shelf somewhere
finite glen
Oh
vivid temple
because IF you think about it, the OS install itself takes about 20 minutes
finite glen
The main reason I wanted to do this is for IF something happens when I try to have both the hdd and SSD plugged in and I get an error but I see your point
@vivid temple do you think it's a good idea for me to try and plug both of my storage devices in because I haven't had any error or problems with the os on the SSD?
vivid temple
@finite glen you had some kind of problem earlier right? (sorry, but i cannot remember each and every single case)
finite glen
It wouldn't accept the SSD as a boot drive but it started to work the day after and its been working fine for a week
vivid temple
plugging in the hdd will most likely just get the bios to try and boot from that drive first
but that can be changed in the bios
finite glen
I know
vivid temple
plugging in the hdd will not cause your ssd to not work (with the hdd unplugged)
finite glen
You know it helps if I have the windows boot manager set as priority and not the storage

ok well luckily amazon takes all returns haha do you recommend a link to purchase windows 10 online?
its crazy cause this is an actual product from microsoft
billy be trifling
livid bluff
No More than likely what happened is the Thumbdrive got jostled around to much in shipping and wasnt packaged properly and something came loose on the mainboard of the thumbdrive and a sector of the data is no longer readable. Worst Case is the Hard Drive itself that your trying to install to has bad sectors

Looking for some advice or help. I will be upgrading my motherboard and cpu for the first time soon. My OS is currently on an SSD that I will be reusing with the new hardware. I will have everything backed up on an external hard drive, and my Windows 10 product key is linked to my Microsoft account. Is there anything else I need to do or worry about when I boot up for the first time, or will windows 10 recognize the new hardware and take over from there? Or am I just better off doing a clean install of Windows?

@vivid temple so idk if you remember me switching my os over to my new m.2. I think I got it. I reinstalled windows on my m.2 and then formatted my ssd to wipe if clean. Is that all I need to do?
hoary moon
How can i set solver in Excel to change my cells only in 0.5 increments?
@obsidian cloak i just went through this process with @vivid temple .
Correct me if i am Wrong, but you formatted it through windows it wont wipe your drive clean since windows blocks the formatting of Boot Partitions. If you did it outside of windows, depends how you did it.
You should be able to see in Disk manager, if the Drive has an allocated boot section.
I did the exact same stuff. Installed Windows 10 on my added m.2 Rocket Sabre 4.0 1TB and just formatted the other drive, but i couldn't delete the Boot Partition of my old SSD. Took 8 hours till we got all the Bios settings figured out and the Gpart working
How can i set solver in Excel to change my cells only in 0.5 increments?
obsidian cloak
@hoary moon I have it booting and functioning. The old ssd did have two partitions still from what I could see
hoary moon
@obsidian cloak It should be complete "unlocated space" . Does your old hard Drive have any of this words in it?
hoary moon
@obsidian cloak If you maximize this window you will see that on your old SSD there is the 99MB partition saying EFI System
When i booted up my PC before i did the 8 hour session with @vivid temple i had a blue screen everytime before the log in screen for windows comes up asking me which harddrive i want to boot from
obsidian cloak
I set boot priority in bios
How do you remove that partition
I haven’t had that problem yet @hoary moon
last gorge
are those 2 boot drives?
if you are trying to delete, from my experience some partitions like the efi can't be deleted through interface, i did through elevated powershell or command promt
obsidian cloak
Only nvme should be the boot drive the ssd was my old boot drive. I installed windows on my new drive then formatted the ssd and it deleted everything but it left the two partitions
last gorge
idk if there is another easier way but i did that through powershell with diskpart
I open powershell as admin, then run DISKPART
then run list disk to view the connected devices
obsidian cloak
Yea I’ve never messed with that before lol
hoary moon
If you dont have the problem and are not looking to sit on your pc for a while dont do anything. If it works it works, but here is the quick solution.
You download rufus
get a fresh usb or a formatted one.
Pull gparted on it
shut down your pc
disconnect all other harddrives besides the old ssd boot drive
You boot up and it should automatically bring you to a wierd GUI
you run the script from gparted and your drive is super clean!
shutdown
connect the nvme and then boot up normally
The drive should then say Unlocated space
last gorge
basically that way you select disk, once proper one is selected you run clean and it will completely wipe the drive and then can reformat in disk management
hoary moon
I actually tried the command prompt way....didnt work for me
obsidian cloak
Command prompt seems easier if it will work
last gorge
it didn't work for me until i found that the clean command was to be used to completely wipe
make sure it is right disk selected tho
hoary moon
thats what i did. Didnt clean it.
yeah would be a pain if you deleted your nvme 😄
@last gorge you have knowledge about the excel solver?
last gorge
whatever works for you really, my issue was the drive i couldn't delete was making the gparted thing unbootable for be, basically any bootable drive didn't work, i was only partiallly able to access windows lol
but whatever works really
there are always different situations
no i don't use excel sorry
obsidian cloak
This is my new build pc just decided to add m.2 a few weeks after so I’ll be keeping this pc for awhile
hoary moon
that sounds like the first time i installed windows on my nvme and the setup said cant use it. Then i had to go in the setup to the command prompt and to all the disk part stuff. didnt work
Same for me. Builded this pc 3 weeks ago
and one week later said f it
last gorge
yeah what happened was i tried to install ubuntu on a dual boot and it went corrupt, and my windows drive decided to disappear for a few hours
hoary moon
@last gorge thats the important part

How do I get to powershell

Need desperate help
My laptop, an HP Pavilion with an AMD A10-9600p will not take any of the driver's I've tried to update it with.
Before asking, I have went onto their website and found my specific APU driver installer. I did not use the minimal, I used the full build.
I have disconnected the wifi, used DDU, and restarted likely over fourty times.
Every time I load back up with the new drivers I get an error code 43 or 34 on both of them, and I cannot access almost any games due to them not being working.
I have tried every method available to me on the internet, or what's able to be openly sourced and I have no idea how to fix it. I feel like I'm at the end of the rope, and I truly don't want to do a factory reset to fix the problem.

Hello, I've got an issue with my computer. I put it in safe mode so I could uninstall some anti-virus software and now every time it boots up the monitor goes into an endless cycle of switching ports until it finally shuts off. I can't even get the computer to go into BIOS. Computer has Windows 10 (1909) and I have a Windows 7 DVD. I have removed the CMOS battery to reset everything and plan to buy a new one as the computer is 7 years old and probably about time for a new battery. I have also disconnected the boot drive, but still won't get into BIOS. Please @ me so I can see any responses. Thanks.

So I followed this guide on how to activate windows without paying because I selected Windows 10 Pro when I initially setup Windows 10, cause im a pro and the cost to activate is $200. (I honestly didn't know which one to choose and pro sounded more attractive than home) Then I realized that the Windows 10 activation watermark is more annoying than I expected so I followed this guide on msguides.com on how to activate for free. It was the one where I changed the KMS server. All I want to know is, did I just install something bad like a virus on my computer, and is this legal? If so, then how do I reverse the changes, i.e. changing back the KMS server to all the defaults?
