Don't know about that.

Lightscribe


You can download OpenHardwareMonitor. Link at the 1st page.

tl;dr..

but from what i know its a manufacturer's faultpolicy that their drivers are not open sourced.. from the company AMD and ATI because of god know what reason that they need to keep it a secret..

only partial or near to none driver are open public but the open source community cannot do much to help or quicken the process of making homebrew drivers to solve this muxless design problem..

so the only choice is to pray that ATI's software engineer can come up with a solution or update quick enough which i doubt is going to happen.. in order to promote their new HP dv6z (Ilano)..

so my best bet is we are not going to get an update from AMD anything soon where the recent release of 11.6a and 11.6b hotfix from AMD is to add support and fix some problems for Ilano..

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER USERS WITH THIS MUXLESS DESIGN PROBLEM?

Guys ive just gotten my HP Dv6, how do i activate my Microsoft Office 2010? @_@; I checked under the laptop for the key, and entered it, it says invalid. What should i do?

The Product key for MS Office is provided in a separate package. The one under the laptop is for your Win 7 OS.

So they don't give you a cd?

Nope, the package is just the product key. Dont worry, the office 2010 is already pre-installed in your dv6

wanna ask... now in disk management i have 3 partition.. if i wan open another partition.. i right click the drive C for shrink volume rite?
i heard that only can make it half of the drive C for new partition...
can i make drive C 150GB & other all use in new partition for keep data??

You can use 3rd party partition software to shrink it to smaller..

is it MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition ???

That one should work..

ok thank you

sifu lee, yesterday i tried using the minitool and follow ThisIsBoletaria's guide, but i failed which i think is due to my own reason.
I wanna ask whether what im trying to do is correct or not, please correct me if im wrong:
This is what im going to try again tonight:
-first, install the minitool partition home wizard
-then open it, i see 4 things: system, C: drive, D:Recovery and E:HP_TOOL and all these 4 things are "primary"
-then i first shrink the C:drive into let's say 100GB which is still in "primary"
-then the remaining space i set it to "logical" is it?
-after that only i repartition the remaining space according to the number of my preferred drives number is it?

You would need to set it to logical, since MBR could only hold 4 primary partition or 3 primary + logical..

you mean, i shrink the C: drive which is still a primary partition down first, then only i reassign the remaining space as logical?

Added on July 15, 2011, 3:46 pmyesterday i set the C: drive to logical first, then only i repartition and then it failed.... when i rebooted so that the minitool kicks in, after it run the C:drive repartitioning for around 20%, then screen goes black, and it hangs... i have to force shut down it in the end.... and the windows memory diagnosis helped me revert back to normal....

I think because you set it to logical,
OS partition need to be primary so there is bootloader..

Okay... so meaning first i shrink C: drive down in its original primary partition state.
Then i assign the remaining space as logical partition and im good to repartition my remaining space?

Yup.

Okay, I will try it again tonight. Many thanks for your help, sifu lee!!!
