Congrats on V3!!! Damn, everyone wake so early????


LOL.... you kagemusha????
Haha... anyway, glad you still concerned about our lounge here!!!

You guys really courageous warriors la... me no courage to do that...
Can i bring my dv6 to HP centre for them to reapply for me?

Yay!!! So now we dv6-6114tx owners are PROUD!!!!!

I think you need go read first page.... got all the required info....
Wonder why everyone dont read first post???

Hmm... yeah, you have a point... Dont really trust the Hp technician's techniques in handling the notebooks... haih....
Anyway, congrats on your success Efalex!

First, you need to know that the computer can only have either 4 "primary" partition or 3 "primary" + XX number of logical partitions.
By default, our notebook is already full with 4 "primary" partitions, namely the system, C:, D:Recovery and HP_Tools.

If you want to repartition your C: drive, you need to first change D:Recovery drive to logical or delete it, dont delete systems (contain bootloader) and HP_Tools...
Then you shrink the C: drive while it is still "primary", dont change it to logical, it will not boot... experienced it beforehand.
Then your remaining spaces would be logical and the new drives that you created would be ALL logical drives....
So in the end, you will have System (primary), C:(primary), D:Recovery(logical, or deleted it), HP_Tools (primary) and others logical (the new partitons that you created)

The D:Recovery is the recovery partition of the harddisk, something like your recovery discs (if im not mistaken, you can check back at first post the repartition steps by thisisboletaria, im actually following his guide, just that i encountered some small problems, but nevertheless, it was done in the end). You can delete the Recovery partition to free up HDD space, but i only recommend you do that AFTER you BURN YOUR RECOVERY DVDs....
Yeah, shrinking it means you resize it to your liking, then those extras would be automatically counted together as logical remaining space. You can create your new partitions from the remaining logical spaces...

My Crysis 2 got bugs.... the nano catalysts cannot be accumulated... it would either decrease or becomes 0 after i quit and resume.... So, i fed up and uninstalled the game...

I use Imation.... you? Still facing issues when making your recovery discs?

If im not mistaken, Acid is from Penang....

LOL... meaning go download the crack with trainer??
Just now found cracks that can fix the nano catalyst bugs (ver1.8)
Going to reinstall it again and try tonight... haih... sienz..... Last time already replayed several times and reached mission 9, need to do it all over again...

I think he means "in the game, for eg, already holding gun, can move around start shooting people, not in the menu/option before starting the game.


I know now latest is v1.9, but does it contain all the fixes previously done in v1.8?
I mean, if i update v1.0 directly to v1.9, would it fixes the problem previously fixed in v1.8?

I tried it just now, i installed my crysis 2 at D: drive, but when i run the v1.9 patch it said it cant locate my crysis 2 whereas for v.18 it can locate, LOL...


Did you keep C: drive as "Primary"??? Because the only time when i encounter the said black screen with those operations is the first time when i wrongly assigned the C: drive to "logical"
If you force restart like what i did, it will run the system recovery and fix something i know not, then you back into your windows.

Oh, meaning your partition succeeded?
the lettering of my drives also same case as yours, C: drive, D: drive, E:BD-ROM, F:Drive, G:HP_Tools
How to change?

Erm sifu lee, that thing is what? Open at?

Oh, ok, opened. But cant find the optical drive wor... can only see the hdd ones....

Erm.. yeah, it is detected. Under the DVD/CD-ROM there got the hp BDDVDRW drive....
But it is not in the diskmgmt.msc window...
Edit: found already, when i enlarge the windows, can see already, at the bottom of the hdd
So sifu lee, lets say my drives are C, D, F, G with the E bd rom
if i want to rearrange the sequence, i need to rename the BDrom to H first, then only rename the others and in the end, rename back the H to G is it?

got got, saw already, so if i need to rename, do i do like what i've posted earlier?

ok, just now i tried to rename the drives, but when i wanted to rename the G:HP_Tools, it popped up a warning window that said it is current in use, if you change it, some programs may not run, do you wanna continue? So i didnt touch the G:HP_Tools and leave it be.

So in the end, my drives are C: drive, D: drive, E: drive and F: BD-ROM drive + the original unchanged G:HP_Tools drive

Thanks for your help sifu lee

I also dunno what is its use... but when i tried to rename it, it said some programs may not be running if i do so, so i leave it be lo.... better not do it than sorry later...
louis, why you keep going into bumps when dealing with your lappy? First the auto-switching thing(now solved, though you dont need it anymore), then the video codec thing(i think you finally solved it with sifus' help), then the recovery discs(i assume you not yet solve) and now the missing HP_Tools partition....
Me still not yet, couldnt find the courage to do so.... scare will hurt my baby girl

Whoa~~~ now that's damn informative!!!! Thanks for the info sifu lee!!! Man, you really helpful!!! Owed alot to your help

LOL.... the promoter.... hmm....
Can download back the partition?

I asked devour for thee carepack prices... Damn expensive....
Rm350 for carry in 3 years
Rm450 for on-site 3 years....


My thermal paste i dunno they(the HP dudes) got reapply for me or not, last time i sent there for overheating issues they changed the fan and heat sink for me, dunno got include thermal paste or not, but nevertheless, it is still the same, temp still reach 95 for all cores just now when i played crysis 2 for 3 hours.... GPU temp is 88 max.... When i sent them second time, they said they cant find the overheating issue, the laptop is "normal"... and i was lol'ed....

Marcus not yet ask. But since devour is in kl, so nearer mah. Btw i dunno where marcus lived....
I play crysis 2 every time with coolsense at performance optimised + U2 cooling pad, no aircond and the temps are always around 94-95 degrees for CPU and 87-88 degrees for GPU, the HDD is 44 degrees max just now which i think is due to the hot evening....

That is under fixed mode. Well, after i updated the new BIOS, i ditched the dynamic... for now
Erm.... what does that do?

Sifu lee... can i ask what is the safe range of hdd temp? Mine is toshiba hdd. The temps this afternoon~evening max is 44 degrees because i was playing crysis 2 for 3 hours...
And now at night, after a session of another crysis 2, the temp is 41-43 degrees, is it ok ar?

Erm... the HP 3 years carry in for pavillion, G series and others, that one is carepack ar? Now on promotion of Rm180? Can buy just it or need to buy bundled with the other laptop promotions? Coz the individual carepacks that i find is pretty hefty.... will burn deep deep hole in my shallow pocket...
