Yes, those files are supposed to be QPv2 installation files. I hope they still work, if they don't, ask someone to upload them again. I can't uploead them 'cause I don't have QPv2.

hmmm.. the site he used to upload the files wont let me download em.. i put in the letters and it just sends me to yet another 30 sec wait followed but a new code i got to write.. has anyone else got the same problem? hmm ill try it on a XP pc with IE6 and see if that works better.. also.. thous intall files.. do you install within windows or how does it work?

okay. looks like its finally downloading.. darn IE7.. :P

now I just got to firure out how to intall this safely when its done downloading.

Edit. Dam.. when I try to install it I got that same error message as many others in here.. I gues I need to install 2.0 before this 2.1 installer.. has anyone uploaded 2.0?

hi everyone, i just got a pavilion dv2025nr, and i was going to reformat it just like if that were my clone desktop, when i saw the QP and i started to look for it around to have it and then reinstall it, so i found this thread and i was shock, i couldnt belive that the 2 options were reformating and not having QP or have the shitty XP that came with...

after 3 days of reading this post (man its 17 pages!!!) i am relax and tomorrow i will reformat it, but i still need a sumary of wot to do, to dont **** it. I think i saw other thread where it says like 10 steps to do all, but just want to be sure

also i want to congratulate everyone because wthout this i would be nuts, but i still have some questions, if i reformat all i will blow the recovery partition, do i need it?i think i dont but just to be sure, and other thing, i have a SATA disk, but i dont have the drivers and i dont find it in the hp page, those are necesary? my brother just bought a desktop and have a SATA and he didnt press the f6 key when asked in the install and everything went well...
if i need the drivers, could i put them in a usb pen drive? because i dont have the usb diskette and have no money...

i need to know another thing? this is my first laptop and i hope everything go well...
thx in advance

Hi Dont' know if osmeone could do it, But i could not been able to maker function QP 2.0 or 2.1 in my HP DV8130us. IT seems i will have to stock with my QP 1.0 untili can buy another computer. It saounds sad, but i'm tired of still trying i can't e able to success in any way. It was Fun anyway. If Someone could help in another way it will be apreciated.

regards

BuZzEdW - My best suggestion is to look for the DV2000 ReFormat thread with all the specifics. It IS possible, but you must have good preparation and the SATA drivers are a MUST HAVE. I'd guess that the USB drive would work, but check that thread to make sure.

fduenas - Did you try removing the second disk? If so, what happened?

BuZzEdW,
USB flash drive won't work from posts I've read.
Sata drivers may or may not be present.... Depending on what version of windows you are trying to install.

(The $10 HP provided OS disc, an option when CTO'ing a machine HAS the drivers... Installs without having to press F6, point it to the drivers.)

CTO=Custom to Order

Drivers are in the C:\SwSetup folder. Should be the SAME drivers as used on the dv2000t.

No need to install 2.0 before 2.1, they are both complete installers. Exactly which error message are you getting? There is one that basically means you must put the Registry entry in, and another means not enough disk space.

the one saying alot of stuff. and in the buttomline its stats with -21 something..

hers a picture of the screen (since the printscreen fucnktion is screwed up totally.. proberly because of some driver issues.. I can upload the screenshot if you want yet another reson to post "LOL" )

Box in forground saying:

ComponentMoveData Error Information

ComponentMoveData had the following error:

Component: Quick Play Component
File Group:
File:
Error Number: -2147418113

And I think another error message related to trying to install QP to a logical partition...

well.. the QP partisioned is unallocated so I cant see it in
"my computer" (called "computer" in vista) I can only see it in disk management and theres one gig
so I got this:
C: 67.11Gb (blue)
Unallocated: 8Mb ??WTH?? (balck)
D: 6.4Gb (blue)
Unallocated: 1GB (black)

(the color is the barcolor in the top of the drive in diskmanagement)

1 - (at least in XP) if you look at the bottom of the window there is a legend, that probably shows Navy= Primary Partition, Green = Extended Partition, Royal Blue = Logical Drive

1a - If you have an Extended Partition, it will have a small Green border surrounding the partition graphics.

2 - Exactly how many bytes are in that 1Gb unallocated space? I'm not sure but it may need a little bit more than 1Gb.

D_Zarster,

1: Please when talking about ERROR codes POST the ERROR code, the text of... instead of doing a "screen shot".
OR

2: Post both the image AND the text of the error code.

WHY? ... 6 months from now someone (such as yourself on another issue maybe) may be searching for a "fix".... and the "image" is more than likely NOT going to still be "hosted"...

Hate when when I run across some good info, people don't post the "error" code in this case.... and the image is "gone".

There was another poster a while back who did the same thing... posting a "screenshot" of a error code... but never posted the "code" itself in any of his posts.... and a short time after he "got"... "his" answer to "his" problem the image was DELETED....


It would be sort of like someone posting a "image" of the HP QuickPlay 2.0 install disc showing the part number... but no-one posted the part number.... and then the image was deleted.

Here's the link to D_Zarster's other thread,

HP DV5137ea, purchase date Sep-2006
Trying to install Vista beta 2.0... and re-install QP

According to HP unit shipped with QuickPlay 2.0 Direct and QuickPlay 2.0 for Windows

According to the above "screen shot", which I assume will NOT be hosted 6 months from now he's trying to install QP 2.1

well.. good point.. but what now? do I just need a 2.0 Install disk..? cant i run 2.1 on my pc?

I did talk to HP and they could only send me the recoverydisks (wich I allredy burned from the preloaded recovery files on the HD)

Look back/up 2 posts and let us know if you have an Extended Partion, which QP does not like at all.
