The music you listen to in your headphones should capture all the sonic details the artist wanted you to hear. But normal headphones can’t deliver the rich, full sound in today’s digital audio tracks, especially not smaller, lightweight headphones. But Solos high performance headphones, which are designed for today’s active lifestyles, deliver sound so real, you’ll be amazed it’s all coming from something so compact & portable.

CLI way to hide a partition without installing 3rd party program.

1. Open run and type diskpart.

2. Then type "list volume". It will show u a list of volume/partition in your HDD. Example below.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


3. Identify which volume to hide. (Important)

4. Type "select volume <insert no. of volume you want to hide>". Eg: I want to hide Volume 1, so i type "select volume 1".

5. Volume 1 is currently assigned to letter C, so to hide it i type "remove letter C".

6. The partition is now hidden. Profit.

7. To unhide it, repeat the same process but instead of removing the letter, u need to type "assign letter <insert letter>" and restart your system.

GUI way to hide partition without installing 3rd part program.

1. Click Start and type "diskmgmt.msc" in your start menu

2. Right click on partition that you want to hide and select Change Drive Letter and Paths.

3. Click Remove to remove the drive letter and click OK. Profit?

4. To unhide it, u need to click Add instead of Remove and select which letter you want the partition to have.

Using 3rd party program

1. Download and install MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition

2. Open MiniTool Partition Wizard Home.

3. Right click on the partition you want to hide. Go to Modify > Hide Partition. Then click Apply.

Too unhide just select Modify > Unhide Partition instead and reboot your system.

Have a question to ask... for the dv6( i assume that it is the same for all dv6-6XXX variants) what is the name of the wifi network adapter?
Because i am thinking of using the new HP wifi mobile mouse with my upcoming dv6... Checked that the mouse would require a windows 7 certified network adapter. The list can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibi...ts=50&os=64-bit
So... anyone know about it?

If i'm not mistaken.. 6114TX and 6108TX use Broadcom wifi adapter and 6001TX use Ralink RT5390.

None of that brand is in the compatibility list. doh.gif

Cheers for those who wish to use the HP wifi mobile mouse (me is one of them) with their dv6.
I just checked at the software and driver section of hp malaysia for the dv6. It seems that the drivers are meant to make our wifi adapter to be win7 compatible... so i think after the driver update, your wifi adapter would then be win7 compatible (because if not compatible, you would be facing problems/errors when connecting to wifi network... correct me if im wrong) brows.gif

My order status says the stupid printer will be delivered on 19th july where the laptop itself already arrive in KL last friday.

WTF hp.

I called them up and they said they're waiting for everything to arrive before they can send to me.

They should really learn from dell on how to do these things, cant even find an email address to complain on their site.

i feel ur frustration. me too. ordered on 8th of June, and from the order status, I only see my printer is ready. everything else date to order rclxub.gif

i would have opt for retail purchase if i knew it would be like this.

but think about the bundled extras, i think a lil more wait is worth it

Limitations:
The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one.

that mean cant use since my destination ssd is 80gb while my source disk is 750gb?(although the os might just around 10gb)

If you take the path of actually cloning your existing hard drive's partition(s) over to the new SSD, you need to ensure you set the cloning software application, in our case it was Clonezilla, to resize the new partition on the target drive to size of the SSD.  Norton Ghost from Symantec has this setting selected by default but in the screen shots above, you can see how to set it up with Clonezilla.  Also, if your new SSD is actually smaller than the old hard drive, Clonezilla won't let you map the partition over, even if the data area is smaller.  In this case, Norton Ghost works a bit better and is in general a bit more elegant to work with.

means that norton ghost shud b my choice?Or i shud uses Macrium Reflect; Microsoft Image Backup (part of Windows 7); Paragon Drive Copy; and ShadowProtect?

Heard both of you make me think again to order online... shocking.gif

But, what to do, the promo for online only.. Admit, its unbeatable price for the time being.

One thing, is there a retailer selling that package too?

1. No, only for online purchase.
2. Yes, another 4GB is free.
3. It's an offsite warranty where you need to send the laptop to the service center on your own instead of they send the technician to your house like what Dell did.
4. No, you have to create it by yourself once you got your laptop by using the dedicated software.

Hey guys, I think the CoolSense permanent fixed setting has been solved with the new version of HP Support Assistant and BIOS, I just updated both, and I tried the CoolSense, and after shut down and boot up my laptop, the setting that I fixed remains there without going back to the Optimized Mode.

Try to run your Hp Support Assistance, it should prompted you a new version of HP Support Assistance is ready to be downloaded and installed, after installed then run again the HP Support Assistance, there should be 3 updates available, if I'm not mistaken one if DVD Burner LightScribe software, another one is HP Bios Update, while the last one is something about On Screen Utility.

Added on June 20, 2011, 10:00 pmOK guys, I hereby confirmed that the CoolSense permanent fixed mode issue has been solved with the latest BIOS / HP Support Assistance where we do not need to select and apply the mode every time we boot up the laptop. It is a real good update for me, as I find the CoolSense is really good in cooling down the temperature from the Coolest Mode, so with this update, it eliminates me to open the CoolSense application and select and apply the mode every time I boot up my laptop.

The default package currently offered does not have the carepack. By default, its warranty is 1 year. You need to send it to HP service center yourself.
If you scared of spoiling your laptop or dont want to go through all the hassle to send it yourself, you can get the carepack with onsite support.
But in my opinion, just use your laptop with care, treat it well and take good care of it and the default 1 year warranty would suffice. Unless it is hardware failure (hdd failure etc.) that cannot be controlled... smile.gif

The laptop doesn't fit well in the bag given during the promotion. You can barely fit the laptop in the main compartment, but not in the place where the laptop should be put in. The bag is simply too small for this laptop size, 15.6", A 15" laptop would definitely fit in. Even the default bag comes with the Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 11, fit this laptop better.
Myu opinion is better for you to buy your own bag that can fit better and offer better protection to your precious laptop.

Bros, I got a big problem. Please please help advice me on what I should do to save my new dv6-6001TX!! sad.gif

I just bought this new baby 2 days ago. So far here are the symptoms:
1)gpu has crashed a couple of times
2)I've got a blue screen (BSOD) once
3)i mysteriously get disconnected while i play WoW as if someone is trying to log in
4)My boot time is about one minute+

5)MOST CRUCIAL: Everytime I take out my battery without the power supply connected, or even without the battery and i just shut down the laptop and disconnect the power supply and put it back again, I get some kind of CMOS/BIOS error and I think it reverts back to origin (the time and date of my laptop gets reset to 12.00AM 1/1/10)

Here's a pic of what the screen that shows at startup looks like (sorry for lousy blurry photograph):

First of all, have created your recovery disc? You better do it first.
1) Which GPU is the one crashed and did you install any new driver in the last 2 days? How's the temp? There is a new driver update released in the past week, maybe you can try to download it and update you driver.
2) Your laptop comes with 4 or 8GB RAM? BSOD can be causes by hardware (such as RAM incompatibility, HD failure) or software (driver, corrupted Windows files). There is a software out there (bluescreen viewer, or something like that), download it and check the minidump file to identify the culprit.
3) Try update your Wireless card driver. Please check you wireless card brand before you download the appropriate update. Check also your Internet connection. The problem could be originated from your ISP too.
4) Looks normal to me.
5) Please read Checksum is Invalid
Or it could be that motherboard battery is dead. You could either replace it yourself or bring it back to the shop you bought from and launch a complaint to them to replace it for you. To replace it yourself, first get a replacement battery (CR2032 button battery) and a "-" screwdriver. Open the backplate (careful, this is one of the trickiest part) and once you've open it, you should be able to see the battery near the harddisk. Replace the battery, and close the backplate (the second trickiest part).

For 1,2 and 3, if the problem persist, you could opt to do recovery using the recovery disc you've created. If all else fail, bring it back to where you bought it from and demand a solution from them (warranty or a new unit, perhaps)

These are my opinion and you should wait for other user for their opinion on these matters.

The default package currently offered does not have the carepack. By default, its warranty is 1 year. You need to send it to HP service center yourself.
But in my opinion, just use your laptop with care, treat it well and take good care of it and the default 1 year warranty would suffice. Unless it is hardware failure (hdd failure etc.) that cannot be controlled... smile.gif

Efalex, thank you so much.
Regarding the recovery disc, actually i'm really noob with computers, sorry for that. When you say recovery disc, is it the same with system restore?
I've installed a couple of programs into this laptop so is the recovery disc to reset your laptop to factory conditions or is it to reset your system to how it was exactly at the time of the creation of the disks?

1)I am pretty sure it's the Radeon HD as I've only been running on power supply all these while.
2) It originally came with 4GB, then I got an extra 4GB and installed it when I brought this baby home. The salesman wanted to give me an apacer RAM but I demanded for a Kingston. Erm, I'm not too sure bout the harddrive. Is there a way to check it's brand without removing the back panel?
3)Okies will try this.
4)I was reading on this threadd V1 how others have been showing their boot time to be around 23 secs plus minus. was hoping since mine is brand new it should be around there as well? haha tongue.gif
5)ok will read the link and will try to update the BIOS first.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ADVICE!! you're AWESOME!

Hmm...

I did wat the HP support website told me to and ran the HP Support Assistant, ran a health analysis, installed updates, etc.
and when I disconnected and reconnected the power supply, the same problem persists.

Everytime this happens and I get into windows, this is how it looks like:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


For the above pic, notice that most of the taskbar icons are blank (missing AVG, grapics controller, etc. Even the wireless connectivity bars are missing, just an empty space between my speaker icon and the HP wireless assistant icon.)

And what's worse, I've done all the software update and stuff through the HP Support Assistant, and then I shutdown my laptop to install the updates and crap and I disconnected and connected the power supply again with the CMOS problems and crap but the updates should still have been done right? WRONG.

Just to be sure I re-ran the HP Support Assistant after reconnecting the power supply and BOOM! The system health analysis asks me to redownload and install the same updates again!

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Am I the only unlucky sob experiencing this hell? What did I ever do to deserve this cry.gif
This is a brand new laptop which blew a gigantic hole in my pocket against the advice of my friend because almost everyone in Lowyat is rooting for the DV6 lol.

Do you think it's possible for me to go and get a 1 for 1 exchange? I bought it at gadgetzone One Stop Penang.

DV6-6001TX + 4GB Ram + HP Carepack (No beats headphones or freebies) = RM3290 sweat.gif

I wanted a DV6-6114TX but I need a laptop desperately for work and it's either drive to KL or wait a month through HP online rclxub.gif

So what should I do now? Take it back to the shop?

Eh... this issue i dnt think related to Hp. It's software problem. I believe u can customize the icons setting. Why dnt u update the window or reformat ? Hv new BIOS to update ?? Some time i also facing such issue too but it's rare.

For HP Support Assistant, I think u should try reinstall the software or dnt need to use it. For me it's just wasting memory and space tongue.gif

By the way, hv u using any software which will roll back ur window into previous one ? Such as Returnil Virtual System, if do, pls un-click the function and update ur window and turn it back when everything has done.

If not mistaken RM3290 without beats headphones one~ It's hard to exchange to a new one for software problem. If it's still there, i think u can send it to HP service center at pinang, Their service good unlike Mlc service ^.^

Dackson, i don't think it's just software problem it only happens when I reconnect my power supply without the battery in the laptop. Please refer to one of my previous posts to see the CMOS error screen that pops up when reconnecting power supply. (I only use the battery when I go out and dont leave it in the laptop all the time fearing I might wear it out fast, and I always disconnect my power supply when I turn off my lappy for fear of lightnings)

Anyway, after I reconnect the power supply and boots it up with the CMOS error and everything and then restart the laptop without removing the power cable, the laptop boots up normally and the taskbar would turn out the way it should:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


So what do you think about that?

And no, I am not using any software to rollback windows or the system, at least none that i'm aware of. hmm.gif

Even on a HDD, my boot time is about 40 secs. More than fast enough for average use. SSD's also have limited number of writes because they never use SLC chips.

The best deal is still the Seagate Momentus XT. I'm getting one very soon. 500GB HDD + 4GB SSD. Best of both worlds.

According to C-ZONE's latest pricelist, it costs RM419. It is slightly more expensive than the cheapest SSD, but those are just like 60GB, pure useless, even windows 7 is nearly 20GB.

Plus, all the SSD's dont use SLC chips so the number of writes is about 10 000, whereas the Momentus XT uses SLC, 10x the number of writes supported

Sorry for the wrong code dude, It's dv6-6114TX not dv6-6108tx since dv6-6108tx already sold out that time I was ordering so I just pick dv6-6114TX...

Do you still have BSOD or system crash?
Regarding the CMOS problem, if you have a spare CR2032 battery, you could try to replace the battery on the motherboard to see if that resolve your CMOS problem.
If it doesn't, I afraid it's a hardware problem. Bring it back to your dealer or the service center and demand service or 1 to 1 exchange (depends on how good you argue).

Hmmm, now already 7 days after my order and I haven received such email so It can be 2 things going on with me right now:
1) my transaction is ok and the thing is progressing.
2) my order is too delay, they din even make the transaction yet...
hope it's 1) ...anyway my status now is "Production", is this status appears before your transaction is cleared?

Well, here also first time dealing with online purchasing. Please check at the hp online store for availability (currently still have).
If you need to claim the warranty, you have to send back to hp service center, or better still, call them up and ask where to send (before you make the order, then you can think whether is it comfortable for you to purchase online, if it is very far from where you stay, better get from retail shop, easier to service) hmm.gif

From Sarawak? You better call them to order by phone. Please confirm with them the delivery charges to Sarawak, as I've posted before that the website stated delivery charge is RM 138 while the PO they sent to stated that the delivery to East Malaysia incurred as fee of RM 300+.

acid.. please put me in the owner's list biggrin.gif
got my dv6-6001tx (+4gb + 3 years warranty) for RM3374 from thundermatch lowyat 2 days ago..
I know I should have gone to mobility square and get me a DV6-6114tx but then I need to purchase a few other pc stuff.. so I just went straight to Thundermatch... biggrin.gif

anyway here's my short pros & cons of this lappy:
Pros:
1) Powerful & fast biggrin.gif
2) Freakingly beautiful - i especially like the light around the touch pad
3) No bloatware - if ade pun 1, 2 je

Cons:
1) keyboard flex - read somewhere someone said asus n53's keyboard flex is worse.. so I can't imagine how worst it could be. I mean this dv6 keyboard flex is already quite noticeable..
2) attract fingerprints everywhere
3) the damn small up and down arrow - what the heck.. it's already a challenge to play PES2011 using keyboard, and now this..?

Guys, does anyone know why we can only create ONE set of recovery media (Notice from the HP Recovery Assistant). Is there anyway to bypass that?

I mean I prefer to have two (one on a set of dvd and one on a thumbdrive) on hand just for safety precautions.

Dackson, i don't think it's just software problem it only happens when I reconnect my power supply without the battery in the laptop. Please refer to one of my previous posts to see the CMOS error screen that pops up when reconnecting power supply. (I only use the battery when I go out and dont leave it in the laptop all the time fearing I might wear it out fast, and I always disconnect my power supply when I turn off my lappy for fear of lightnings)

Anyway, after I reconnect the power supply and boots it up with the CMOS error and everything and then restart the laptop without removing the power cable, the laptop boots up normally and the taskbar would turn out the way it should:

So what do you think about that?

And no, I am not using any software to rollback windows or the system, at least none that i'm aware of.  hmm.gif

Hey guys, I'm thinking of buying the HP dv6 with the Beats solo. However according to the reviews and youtube videos, it seems that the Beats Solo headphones are very fragile and break easily, has anyone had this problem yet?

You may search on youtube for videos of the headphones breaking ._."

So, my next question is, is this version the normal Beats Solo, or the Beats Solo HD?

Guys, does anyone know why we can only create ONE set of recovery media (Notice from the HP Recovery Assistant). Is there anyway to bypass that?

I mean I prefer to have two (one on a set of dvd and one on a thumbdrive) on hand just for safety precautions.

No idea.
but the disc can be copy right ?
use another backup software to backup ?

Dnt need back up. what you need is a linux ^.^ you can use it without installing xD~

Hey guy, just got mine today! A bit underwhelmed, haven't played any games/music on it yet though. Screen is very poor compared to my old laptop (1600x900 res). The rest of the laptop looks really classy though.

So basically I have a few questions tongue.gif

1. What should I do when I first get it? What bloatware should I remove?
2. Has anyone else been able to use the 'middle click' function? It was quite essential for me in my last lappy when browsing, doesn't seem to work for me because the buttons are very hard to press in the middle.

Thanks guys!

The one that come with DV6 is the newer version of Beats Solo featuring Superior Strength Headband. Check marcus pictures here, it has "Superior Strength Headband" sticker.

Wanna ask you all something technical....
As you know laptop vent as times goes will accumulate dust inside and eventually will clog the air passage way....

What you all do to minimize the dust as not to void the warranty opening it and clean?

Because right now i think the U2 ventilation will help to reduce the dust and the backpanel of DV6 have some filtering material on the ventilation so i guess i'll need some times to check on the effectiveness of both stuffs i just pointed out. hmm.gif

customize do happen for Dell in M'sia but less option. For M'sia Hp to bring in full HD will definitely reduce their profit. the new dv6 GPU without 3D, they should bring in 3D or touch screen for Dv series, dust free keyboard, backlight, 12 cells batteries and make dual vents system ^.^

If not mistaken, Hp did selling one FHD model under HDX series, a unit popular during SXPS 16 1 generation but the price shakehead.gif shakehead.gif

HP has outsourced the carepack registration function, it will take around 14 working days for them to update your warranty status. The sales invoice will reach you by post in around 2 weeks time after you received your notebook, if you want the invoice urgently, can call HP to request for soft copy, they will provide it to you as soon as possible.

Peep~~how the switchable graphic device work?
i call and talk to 2 difference HP technician, both said same thing, we are not allow to manually switch the graphic device,
technician just told me the system are dynamic switching -.- even though you are multi-tasking the system will be able to auto switch as well.
are you guys still can perform manual switching for the graphic devices?

i like the dv6 chrome outfit so much, very beautiful!
dv6 outfit are definitely one of the best among others. blush.gif

but HP customer care line suck big time if compare to DELL, mad.gif
the phone rout confusing + certain rout never have people to answer even you wait for 20+ minute;
DELL do so much better in this case.

6108TX use auto switching compare to manual switching on 6001TX. IIRC, efalex got post on how to force manual switching back in V1 thread.

You can install MSI Afterburner to check whether the Radeon is running or not.

my 6114tx has an option to choose Green (low performance), Yellow (Auto), Red (High performance) for each program you use. therefore i think there is option, even though i don't really bother since it runs smooth on those programs that i usually use

6108TX use auto switching compare to manual switching on 6001TX. IIRC, efalex got post on how to force manual switching back in V1 thread.

You can install MSI Afterburner to check whether the Radeon is running or not.

Errr...the force manual switching doesn't work. If you are lucky, you may find the "hidden" tab, but once you reboot, they will go back to auto switching. All 61XX series comes with auto switching. It's not that bad, only that you do not know which graphic card is active at the moment and OpenGL application may have problem running on the AMD card.

I don't think u need high GPU memory to plug in to external. hmm.gif

Even if they need.. this GPU shared 4GB of system memory.. so if you have high speed memory i think it will help increase that framerate. hmm.gif

Display adapter type AMD Radeon HD 6700M Series
Total available graphics memory 4837 MB
Dedicated graphics memory 1024 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 3813 MB
Display adapter driver version 8.850.6.0

Hello guys, I had received my DV6 on June22. But today i only have the time to unbox it.
I am having few problems and questions here.
1. I did not received the so called 3 years local warranty and mystery gift.
2.My dv6 cant read some chinese word (How to setting?)
3.My storm player cant open rmvb files (Sth of codec problems?)
4.When i plug in my 2TB WD to the 3.0 port, i then I switch on the laptop, it will just stop at the HP there. It can be started up only if i plug it to the 2.0.(Any1 having this issue?)
5.Do i need to switch on the Hp automactic update?

BTW, the beats. solo headphones really not worth it, it dont sound better than my 200bucks Sony headphone.

for Problem 1, you should call Hp customer service if you purchase online. Hp warehouse 1 800 99 4899, HP M'sia 1 800 88 6998, Hp wwarranty center 03-23323443, HP Technician 1 800 88 8588

For problem 2, go to Control Panel, then goto Clock, Language, and Region. Choose Region and language option. Go to administrative, change the local system to "Chinese PCR' under "Current language for non-Unicode programms".
If still can not, goto Keyboards and language option, install Chinese language there.

For problem 3, eh.. I think storm player can open all format files.

For 4, stop at HP ?? it's not enough power ?

For 5, ask you like. Personally, I prefer you update window rather Hp updating.

Then, you can sell ur solo headphones ~

Well, as far as I know, the Beats Solo may not suit everybody's taste when it comes to sound quality, as it highly favours bass and well.. beats. However, sounding worse than your 200bucks headphone, probably not. You should give it time to burn in. flex.gif

It has rubber feet, so unless your table is made of smooth ice then there is no chance of it sliding off when you push it. biggrin.gif

what kinda probs u have? I tested almost everything on mine, seems to be running fine.
Mayb i'll give a spin on some games later on... and see if the gpu is problem free.
But so far, all my apps, music, drives are working like they should. Only complain
is the plasticky, flexy lcd panel. I swear i could almost break it with 2 fingers.

BTW, anybody wanna buy my solo beats? Still unopened, shrink wrapped in a box.
Im too old for this hip accessory.

I think the only way to permanently switch to Radeon for 6114TX is configure all the executable files to run on "High Performance".

Of course plug out, because laptop will generate heats which may harming your battery if plug in.

One more thing, programs using OpenGL may not works, i.e. thay may still run on Intel graphic despite being set to run on "High Performance".
These are the main issue that the owner of DV6-61XX series are complaining about.

there are always a group of people attack on certain brand no matter what, this is happen to all the brand not only HP.
but don't worry, dv6 are one of the best lappy in town biggrin.gif

only thing that i am not happy is the "dynamic switching" for the graphic device. sad.gif i really hope they can fix it in near future.
(but if you are not heavily using MAYA, after effect etc etc which require open GL, you should have no problem with this features, after effect run like shit with intel HD 3000)

oh thanks for the reply regarding the battery question. I have real life experience to share.

Previously I had a laptop before this DV6 that I plug out the battery all the time because I wanna increase the battery life span.

Well one day I had a power surge in my house. As a result my motherboard was burned because of the surge. I took the computer for repair and was told that if I had plug in the battery, I would have saved the motherboard.

Fortunately it was still under warranty, and I was grateful that I just have to pay for the transportation fee and not the motherboard.

Have another question here, I try to use the MiniTool Partition Wizard to do partition, I wanna create another 2 partition. However I have to change the C partition to logical first because I start creating the 2 partition. My question is how do I change the C drive back to primary again?

Actually, I think the drivers are all in the C drive already but before installation it still prompts me to select drivers with an error message device/driver not found... I've googled it but they recommended formatting using ms-dos so I'm doing it now.... cry.gif

Hi Acid,

Yes. Strange enough for mine there is a dialog asking me to install driver right after I click install now button... BTW, I am installing Win 7 by USB drive. But I dun think it's that problem. Anyway, what i did was to use command prompt and repartition my drive into my desired volume sizes and now I'm restoring using HP recovery. Hopefully will be restored and I plan to upgrade to Win 7 Ultimate after done restoring...fingers crossed.... smile.gif

I'm not sure about it, bcoz the HDD driver does not match~ While, the bootloader will be missing after recovery into a new HDD. SO, you need to rebuild bootloader if u success recovery it into SSD. Hence, you may need a bootable window software to rebuild the bootloader. Go try it out ^^

200MB partition? I think that's where the bootloader is located. Not safe to delete.

I think not possible since the recovery will repartition your HDD to its original state.. unless ur SSD is 750GB.. i think there'll be a problem.

I think possible to make it, bcoz window 7 will auto detect the driver and renew it i guess. Those original OS and factory image were implanted direct copy from the main disc. should be no fine. If got error after recovery, just use window repair to repair it.

Since I have another external copy of Genuine Windows 7 Professional 64bits, then I think most likely I would use the copy to do a clean format rather than the recovery. Anyway thanks for you guys.

I'm not sure if its possible anyway... since recovery will unable to repartition the disc because of the smaller size.

I'm not sure if its possible anyway... since recovery will unable to repartition the disc because of the smaller size.

repartition disc ?
The factory recovery really useless ~ It's damn slow and recover outdated driver and software. may you can teach them use Acronis or northern ghost to create recovery and save those recovery into a partition and hide it. Them install the software into pendrive and use it to boot and recovery. USB drive can recovery while OS include software within 10mins ? Then use window bootable pendrive to create bootloader if recovery into a no OS HDD ^^(not sure last step work or not, hvnt try)

By the way, i wanna ask you how to run Boottimer from ur boot optimize section.

boot_BASE+CSWITCH_1 - two files winrar and performance analyzer tracer file

IMO build quality of alienware should be better compare to DV6. Alienware got bling-bling, sure it will stand out alot.

yes, i admit this feature are good to some point, but just not suitable for me,
it seem like my 6770m only turn on in game but some game also cannot play with that card.
i don't want this card are just for game purpose.

This is why the 6001tx is still the best. The intel HD3000 is so powerful that you can game on it with nearly all settings on max in Race Driver GRID.....and when you really want crazy graphics, just use a shorcut key and the graphics card comes on, so 0 issues.

Look at all the problems the 61xx people are having, such bullshit. Auto switching never works. And before you blame AMD/ATi, even Nvidia has problems with Optimus.

The best? Manual switching!!!!

auto swicthing is work for most of the game, the main thing is some software that i use for my work~ non of it are working with my 6770m that is the main problem.

i don't know what to do now seriously.

i am not with my laptop now, but is that possible if i turn off intel HD 3000 in device manager? what will happen?

Open up CCC. Under Power, go to PowerPlay and make sure it's enabled. Then set both "Plugged In" and "Battery" to the Maximize Performance setting

example: photoshop cs5 i've put that to high performance, my laptop are running in high performance mode,
ccc power play mode on, but photoshop still detect graphic card as intel HD 3000

some other graphic tool app also same, i use msi afterbuner to monitor, my 6770m not working at all, accept when i play game.
Even some game i need to play in window mode for some reason, that is no way for me to use 6770m, the color so much difference even tho intel HD 3000 could manage to run the game smoothly.

^ oh.. i don't think u can use msi afterburner to monitor your HD6770M. try Open Hardware Monitor and monitor that HD6770M core clock see if it's changing.

I'll try to lurk i NBR forum to check about switchable graphic.

On desktop > right click > graphics properties(make sure your gfx card is on) > preferences (in top right) > hotkeys > list hotkeys for mobile intel HD graphics > assign the hotkeys you want, I use alt + z for my gfx card and alt + x for my intel > tick the active boxes beside the name > tick enable hotkeys feature at the top > OK

This works beautifully on my 6001.....

for certain program / game u can check in the preferences see what graphic device are currently using,
or try this open hardware monitor like what acid said

for this dv6-61xx model i i don't think you can run radeon on any game/program in window mode, since you are FORCING to run your OS with intel HD 3000

and MAYA too, this is bad...
for photoshop ya right i can run well with intel HD 3000
but thing is i pay money for the package, they shouldn't forcing me to run it with intel HD3000,
even i wan to run microsoft paint with radeon also is my business right? they shouldn't force or fix for me, all i want is simple just let me decide.

now i can see the problem not just because of open GL,
the thing is they  force you to run the OS with intel HD 3000, which mean you are impossible to run any program in window mode with radeon card.
imagine you multi-tasking with few program at the same time some run with intel some run with radeon, is not logic right your laptop for sure will crash or else bling like hell when they switching lol . rclxub.gif

The one that this guy suggested right?

QUOTE
THE FIX: I turned on the power management [Power Play] checkbox in the ATI CCC settings. Previously, the defaults had it set to MAXIMUM unmanaged by the drivers, but then I changed it to managed Maximum/Maximum {AC Power: Maximum Performance, Battery Power: Maximum Performance}.

NOW Finally Dolphin gets 1.8x to 3x the FPS as it was getting (example: Wii Sports Bowling now is 65 FPS in places it was previous only 35). Open Hardware Monitor shows the Radeon at 750Mhz while wii games are running!

Other notes: I'm running NTSC games, which I ripped from my console myself, and to get > 60FPS you have to turn off the throttle in Dolphin. I also tell Dolphin to lock threads to cores to make sure the turbo goes stable at 2.6Ghz [Dolphin uses only 2 of the 4 cores]. Close all other other open applications. I was running at > 60 FPS just to stress test the system.... see how much headroom I had. Running the latest builds of Dolphin...


http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-pavilio...tml#post7640356

Did you monitor the Radeon clock speed while u run the application as well? like this guy.. as u can see he ran that in window mode and the dGPU is working.

overall this is a good choice, but this build are come with dynamic switching function for your graphic device which mean you cant switch the graphic device manually,
for more detail please read some of previous post.

Did you monitor the Radeon clock speed while u run the application as well? like this guy.. as u can see he ran that in window mode and the dGPU is working.

The numbers are identical because the drivers are identical.....only the catalyst itself is newer, not the actual display driver. So it is safe to upgrade.

specs for DV6-6108TX seem pretty good.

the only problem is the display, is there anyway to upgrade it to 15.6" Diagonal High-Definition LED HP Brightview Display (1920 x 1080) instead of 15.6" Diagonal High-Definition LED HP Brightview Display (1366 x 768) ?

oh ya, i am apologize for some wrong input that i did yesterday,
i mention that we can notice screen bling or shake for few sec while graphic devices switching, in fact the devices switching are seamless.

i admit and mention before, intel HD 3000 can run photoshop well, in fact photoshop are not really depend on GPU but CPU and ram...
the benefit running ps on HD6770m are little to no benefit, but the thing is they shouldn't decide for me right?
And also i understand HD6770m not really a professional card for 3d work, it just a gaming card after all,
may be in some opinion this dynamic switching are good enough if it able to switch or activate HD6770m when we playing game, but not for me..
actually the only thing that make me not happy is i cant really fully control on my GPU, other then that i like this laptop so much biggrin.gif
No body can say a thing if i want to run a notepad with HD6770m correct or not, may be people can laugh or say i am stupid but they don't have any right to stopping me for doing that? biggrin.gif


PS: most of the professional graphic tool are uses OPEN GL, hp shouldn't kill it because of the dynamic switching.

I think I get the microsoft office for free easily *grins*
No need printer, already have tongue.gif
What mystery gifts they gave? curious...


Question 1

Anyway, is your ATI CCC 11.6 looks like mine, because I find it weird with so little configuration options for this version, or is mine corrupted?


user posted image


is it only "AMD home" under "Information"? or it suppose to have more tabs?
sorry, but I'm still a laptop noob haha...

I just found out about some problems facing by dv6-6100 series after 2 days I purchased mine sad.gif

http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Disp...100/td-p/733827

Are these problems solved yet or it's still there? sad.gif



I have another question here:

I'm sorry if it was asked before but I cant really find a proper solution for it.

I get black bars on the two side of the screen when play old games like MapleStory, Counter Strike etc... how can I make them full screen with the new ATI CCC 11.6? As for Warcraft3 I manage to make it full screen using Acidz's method posted earlier.

Your help is very very much appreciated! smile.gif

Not actually flexing, but I feel it is uncomfortable to press on the button on the number pad area, it has some kind of noisy sound when I press the button, so my guess was the keyboard was not placed perfectly, so just now when they check for me, and they told me the keyboard is working fine and cannot replace a new for me, so I insisted the technician to try to take out the whole keyboard and try to replace it back, afterwards, the noisy sound gone, luckily I had insisted them to try to take out the whole keyboard and replace. rclxms.gif

hmm, I wonder why they removed so many options... too bad then...

Well, actually I dont play MapleStory much, installed it because of my brother... MS still a 800x600 game but they added a new option to play it in a window in stead of full screen by pressing "Alt+enter".

How bout Counter Strike ar? did they fix this or still the same? sad.gif
kind of sad to see such a great laptop which cant play old games in full screen...

I tried Crisis 2 yesterday ad the graphic is just so awesome!!! At the beginning, I didnt select "High Performance" for Crisis 2 and the fps was lower, then I changed it to High Performance in CCC and boom! it became soooo smooth and with superb graphic quality! satisfied. smile.gif

Havent try other games though...

just now i was playing hon until half way that my battery left 20% and i forget to bring my charger with me. I am currently using another HP's charger which is not the dv6's version. do u think by doing this will spoil my battery or laptop by any chance? and if i often pull out my battery while my laptop is running. is it a bad practice?

Thats all. Kthxbai.

Since there are confirmations that Warcraft III and Heroes of Newerth can be played, this list does not apply to dv6-6114TX then?

wow all this dynamic switching issue being fronted here makes me wish that I can take back my order and get a full refund...

wonder if thats possible..

I was looking at the latest dell xps, however the price is at rm3800 for a i5 processor whereas the hp 6114tx is at the same price + the headphones and has an i7 processor...but all this dynamic switching problems is kinda worrying me. More so when I'm a Maya and 3dstudio max user and both programs uses openGL. I realize that the graphics card is suitable for gaming and not for 3d applications, but Im treating this laptop as my work companion....do you guys think its still ok for me to purchase this hp laptop? even with the dynamic switching issue with openGL programs?

Haih.... me also worrying about the "dynamic switching" issue with the dv6-6114tx cry.gif
All these while while i was waiting for my dv6 to come.... was thinking of playing many games... but argh.... this annoying issue.... vmad.gif
Hope HP can realize that their perception of "well, who dont like automatic? so, we make the system to choose for you, no fuss, correct?" and release a patch/update/firmware or whatever in the near (and i mean very very very NEAR) future to ease this tiny yet annoying flaw.... mad.gif
The 6114tx is really near perfect.... if only this problem is absent.... cry.gif

I dont understand why our great graphic card has such little configuration options.... why is that?
dont even have scaling option, that's unacceptable...

or is it our Radeon HD6770M graphic card is actually still under testing? lol

Any 6108tx owners here having problems with the switching of graphic cards? it seems to be fine for me... maybe have to test more games and see...

oh, and sifu lee, can you share the link to get the modded driver by asder00? Thanks!

Guys, do you know how to solve this issue? I'm unable to switch my AMD GPU to iGPU after updating my CCC to latest version. By the way, is there anyway that I can permanently use the HD3000 instead of AMD GPU?

I always get this prompt. If you have application using D3D running on the background u can't switch the GPU. For example, Window Live Messenger.

if you going to use this laptop to do 3d work for most of the time,
you should get a workstation laptop eg: dell precision which having nvidia quadro graphic card (very expensive) or laptop with ATI Fire GL
you mention you are considering XPS, but XPS is also just a multimedia / entertainment laptop,
the graphic card inside (nvidia GT series) also more to gaming.
why don't just get DV6-6001TX like some other people here? instead of XPS ? brows.gif brows.gif brows.gif brows.gif
don't worry about Radeon card compatibility for 3dmax / maya, these issue are happen very long time ago.

personally i like this laptop so much, i am using this laptop 50% for work (graphic / video / little bit of blender) 50% for gaming / entertainment.
before that i am also consider return the laptop to HP because of i cant manual switching the graphic card
(i am forcing to use blender with intel graphic device, this should be happen to be same with maya and 3d studio max),
but after many consider i decide to keep it and pray everyday that hp will give me manual switching in near future. lol

if you going to use this laptop to do 3d work for most of the time,
you should get a workstation laptop eg: dell precision which having nvidia quadro graphic card (very expensive) or laptop with ATI Fire GL
you mention you are considering XPS, but XPS is also just a multimedia / entertainment laptop,
the graphic card inside (nvidia GT series) also more to gaming.
why don't just get DV6-6001TX like some other people here? instead of XPS ?  brows.gif  brows.gif  brows.gif  brows.gif
don't worry about Radeon card compatibility for 3dmax / maya, these issue are happen very long time ago.

personally i like this laptop so much, i am using this laptop 50% for work (graphic / video / little bit of blender) 50% for gaming / entertainment.
before that i am also consider return the laptop to HP because of i cant manual switching the graphic card
(i am forcing to use blender with intel graphic device, this should be happen to be same with maya and 3d studio max),
but after many consider i decide to keep it and pray everyday that hp will give me manual switching in near future. lol

thanks dude

haha the reason why I look to these models is because of the price range/budget constraint only. For solely work purposes, Ive a professional desktop at home already so thats ok. Just wanted a laptop as my work companion..when Im at the office I can just continue some of my personal work and then bring back and continue work on it on my home desktop..

Just my main concern is that I cant fully use 3dstudio max and/or Maya with this hp laptop and the hd3000 card

choose ur spec > dl the 1.11 mb > use the s/w to dl the actual driver > install the driver > restart
dun panic.. now if everything ok try enable other option.. rmb run regedit as admin & end process the CCC.exe & MOM.exe b4 edit regedit..

here's what you do, go into your CCC and head over to Information>Software

Copy the 2D driver Path to a notepad so you would see which registry to edit.

For some it maybe: :/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/Class/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0000
For others it maybe: /MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/Class/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0001 etc.

Check CCC first.

Next, click on the start button and in the search box type the word: regedit. Select regedit by right clicking on it and select "Run as Administrator". Goto: /MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/Class/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/000[X] (X denotes whatever CCC 2nd Driver File Path tells you) & locate and change the following (right click on it and select modify):
-Change MLF_NA from 1 to 0 (MLAA)
-Change SurfaceFormatReplacements_NA from 1 to 0 (Surface Format Optimizations)
-Change TFQ_NA from 1 to 0 (Mipmaping textures)
-Change EQAA_NA from 1 to number 0 (New AA called EQAA)


Now open up the UMD sub key located:
/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/Class/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/000[X]/UMD and add the following:
Right click, select new, select string value and enter: MLF_DEF. Then right click on MLF_DEF and select modify. Enter 0.
Right click, select new, select string value and enter: SurfaceFormatReplacements_DEF. Right click on SurfaceFormatReplacement_DEF and select modify. Enter: 0
Right click, select new, select string value and enter: TFQ_DEF. Then right click on TFQ_DEF and select modify. Enter: 1
Right click, select new, select binary value and enter: EQAA. Then right click on EQAA and select modify. Enter: 31 00
Right click, select new, select string value and enter: EQAA_DEF. Then right click on EQAA_DEF, select modify. Enter: 0
Right click, select new, select string value and enter: EQAAMapping_SET. Then right click on EQAAMapping_SET, select modify. Enter: 0(0:0,1:0) 2(0:2,1:2) 4(0:4,1:4) 8(0:8,1:8,2:16)

No need to reboot, just press the windows key and letter "r" to open the Run command, type in MOM.exe Restart. And then boom you are done!

Added on June 29, 2011, 1:27 pmRight click, select new, select binary value and enter: EQAA. Then right click on EQAA and select modify. Enter: 31 00

no matter how u change it will auto become 30 00.. dunno y but the important option is enable will boost ur performance.. since ur card quite good enable MLAA x2~x4 no problem OC a bit play dirt 3 with high setting is piece of cake..

If you need hydravision, download and install CCC 11.5b.
My Catalyst is from Stock HP > CCC 11.5b > CCC 11.6.

For 6114TX and 6108TX user i suggest to rollback to HP driver if you have problem with AMD official driver. sweat.gif

ngkhanmein, you have a different graphic card? cause those who are using Radeon HD 6770M having the same CCC without those configuration options...

Hydravision can be installed separately if I'm not wrong... smile.gif

Yes, Goto AMD where you download CCC 11.6, there is an optional for you to download latest Hydravision.

hmm.gif I think i am also seeing the same thing as you guys..but not really a problem i think. cause i still can play HON and the 6770 kick in without even blinking the screen.. or maybe it just happened too fast.. sweat.gif

for the software and hardware tab.. I think is because theAcid upgraded from 11.5b to 11.6.. and we straight install 11.6?

reinstall the modded version to check the difference later..currently working.. haha..

Is there anyway for me to disable the AMD GPU permanently and only enable it back when I need to use it? I have tried to disable in the Device Manager, but after shut down and re-open my laptop the GPU back to AMD again when AC Adapter plugged in without battery.

Enable power play? There is a setting for plugged in and AC both set to maximum battery life?

I think is very tidous to change each and everyone of the setting to know which setting can change the GPU permanently but I think this can help a lot of people smile.gif

Did any of you see this webpage at hp site?
I did not know that we actually can buy a dv6-6114tx and 6108tx without the beats and other free stuff like what is promoted at the Music Matters LIVE promotion?

Had I known there is this thing, I think I would have taken this instead....

A reminder to all future DV6 buyer

doh.gif i mean the setting for power play.. u set Batter and Plug-in settings both to maximum power saving.

Or just use power saving mode and adjust the brightness back to full?
Downside of power saving mode is that the core will not run at full speed. only clocked at 798MHz.
