Do some legwork first. Find the filenames on Dell's website and indicate exactly what devices they correlate to. Bear in mind that some packages have software as well as drivers embedded in (e.g.) InstallShield CAB files. edit - Which "tutorials on the web"? The only valid ones are here in the nLite FAQ and Guide (they are stickied). Other than that, there are several SATA tutorials and drivers on MSFN. Please clarify. We are "helpers" for those that "do" and we require "more input".

You mean USB Ports. There appear to be 8 of them, identified with "269U" (gold-ish ends, black across middle, EXTREMELY small). External - neither of these work 1 next to the Rear USB Ports Connector 1 next to the Rear USB+NIC Ports Connector Internal Headers (in this order) - these work 1 next to USB Hdr #1 (white dual) FUSB2 (n/c) 1 next to USB Hdr #2 (white dual) FUSB1 (upper USB ports) 1 next to USB Hdr Pair (black sngl) FUSB3(upper SD/MMC)/FUSB4(n/c) 1 next to USB Hdr Pair (black sngl) FUSB5(n/c)/FUSB6(single port) FUSB1 and FUSB3 are directly at top front of case. FUSB6 is beneath a "door" at the side front of case along with Front Headphone/Mic connectors. The documentation states that the HP Wireless Keyboard/Mouse Tranceiver is (normally) to be plugged into a Front USB Port. Now the odd parts - - Odd that both Extenal Rear fuses would be bad - Note (again) that KYBD/MOUSE do NOT work in ANY of the Front These (along with the initial post) is the reason I had assumed that perhaps the BIOS KYBD/MOUSE Detect had somehow been borked since FUSB1 Ports (both) Boot to USBstick as well as FUSB6 Port (single). Options at this point (in order) - 1- Try PCI-e USB Add-In 2- Try BIOS Flash Manipulation (nothing to lose) 3a- Replace MoBo 3b- Build-A-Computer *- have yet to try (but why) clean install to different HDD (from DVD/USB) Untrue that MoBo=$20. Yes, I have been digging deep for equivalent specs as well. On eBay $75+$10s&h exact Refurb PN 533234-002. Google that or eBay Search (select "include description"). Not trusting any other HP-brand MoBo Replacement PartNumbers. Remember that any Replacement MoBo must meet all requirements of other existing hardware or I'll be facing a complete Box Build. And this (with specs) is what the Computer is and where it was purchased from (complete). http://www.samsclub.com/sams/d-hp-pavilion-elite-desktop-2-50ghz-1tb-27-lcd/prod1030282.ip Here, on eBay is "just the Tower" - http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Pavilion-Elite-HPE-137c-b-1-TB-Intel-Core-2-Quad-2-5-GHz-8-GB-Desktop-/111158624187?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item19e191ffbb Jeez, this is for a "friend", so I can't expect beaucoup bucks for the work.

GACK! (Nearly) opposite corner next to the CMOSclr/PWDclr jumpers is the BIOS version (very near the BIG chip). The one you say is the BIOS is right next to the "Recover" Header (SPI header?) so that makes sense (to completeley reprogram the BIOS). I'll look for a "fuse", but... AND will carefully inspect for a "short". Also, went to my favorite "used parts" place and the guy told me somewhere nearby that "should" have the PCI-e USB card for approx.$10, so going to try that as well. The guys at my "favorite place" are OEM/Refurbishers so I trust them (very knowledgable) - they also said try the USB Add-In. Thx - will get back to you. :thumbsup:

1 - Yes maybe "short" but kids severe interruptions. Will check later. 2 - What fuse? (see link to MoBo) 3 - Agreed. Have to get to "store" to see if they have any. 4a - "Enter the BIOS"? Is that where the first message comes from (No Keyboard)? 4b - Can't get past the "After Boot To Windows" to allow for it (No Keyboard). 5 - Virus in Windows? Maybe. 6 - Would have to attempt that with ANOTHER HDD (OEM Preinstall on original). COULD maybe do it from the DVD - it DOES "blink" the light so I'm "assuming' The Boot Order is DVD/HDD/USB-Device (no clue about Wired NIC - nothing displays). Bear in mind this is an HP OEM Install and may have "Create Recovery DVD" in it. SATA-II DVD-BluRay and SATA-II 1-Terrabyte PreInstall. This is apparently NOT a UEFI and I'm unfamiliar with any BIOS that cause the first message. The HP Logo shows when turned on and F-(whatever) keys lines for BIOS options shows plus the v5.14 BIOS version. That's it -THEN... 1st Message appears to be similar to an F8-style warrning "hardware failure or hardware change". Selection to Boot Normally or Recover (the hi-lited default). 2nd Message is absolutely after 30-second timeout and booting into Windows Recovery. Then the Windows showing as stated. This bad boy was purchased new at Sam's Club. I have no clue how long it was "down" having no keyboard/mouse. That's why I thought MAYBE it might "come alive" if I DOS-flashed and forced Defaults (which?) from the BIOS File. AFUDOS - Will be putting original HDD in another box, booting to LiveXP and retrieving photos, etc. Then LAN-scanning for viruses (fwiw). Again, don't want to "wipe" the OEM install and I don't have a MONSTER HDD to Image it to. Limited options...

Hmmm... would give that a shot but it's all PCI-e. Guess I could find&buy one. Seems a shame to go through the effort of a chancy MoBo change. Heck the Video Card alone runs pretty expensive. Still, no KBD in the front Ports? Will inspect the Rear Ports very carefully... (Stupid OEM's....)

This is an All USB/All SATA HP Pegatron Eureka3 (IPIEL-LA3 Rev1.02) in a Model HPE-137c-b, AMI BIOS=v5.14 (can see that on PowerOn). I got tasked by a friend with "fixing" it. - Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q9300 (visual confirm) - 8GB DDR3 - 4 slots (visual confirm) - PCI-e x1 Wireless Network (internal antenna) - PCI-e x16 Video (RADEON HD4350 - on-board VGA/DVI "covered") http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01746799 (Note- all stickers, including HP-specific COA are intact.) I had tried 3 different keyboards (all function on other PC's) and none are detected, nor is the mouse (I'll get to that). I called him, it was then he informed me that the USB Keyboard wasn't recognized the next time it was turned on. The BIOS documentation has nothing on KBD/MOUSE (obviously, since no PS/2 ports). F10 is normally to enter BIOS. Symptoms as follows: 1- KBD/MOUSE not detected (in any USB ports). 2- Windows-7 Boot screen appears with - "Windows Failed To Start. A recent hardware change might be the cause." Defaults (no KBD/MOUSE) to "Repair" selection. 3- Proceeds to boot, performs Startup Repair (a window), the displays another window with - "Do you want to restore your computer using System Restore?" with Restore/Cancel buttons. No KBD/Mouse so no choice but PowerOff. Performed the following (same symptoms): 1- Blew it completely out (pretty dusty). 2- Disconnected all Front USB (includes SD/MMC slots). 3- Cleared CMOS (jumper), says "Defaults Loaded". *- Note - "Clear Password" jumper has no effect (also used w/F10). 4- Reconnected USB, disconnect SATA HDD+DVD, attached USB Floppy - not accessed. 5- Inserted USB "LiveXP To Ram", fully boots, but must PowerOff. *- Note - ONLY the Three Front ones, the Four Rear ones DO NOT (all are USB2) 6- Pulled the Video/Wireless and "uncovered"/used the On-Board Video. I have dug around HP and the WWW and found multiple references to Eureka3. I managed to find the following BIOS 1- v5.05 (indicates XP/Vista) 2- v5.14 (indicates XP/Vista) 3- v6.07 (indicates Windows7) 4- v6.09 RevA (indicates Windows7) All of them are to be installed via Windows and found by searching the MoBo strings. Strangely, HP does find the Serial# and clearly indicates "Windows7 x64 Home Premium" (as does the stickers, which all still exist). Obviously, SLIC2.0/2.1 must be in there somewhere for HP to have preloaded any of the given OS, but no indication WHICH Models they are for, only the MoBo/OS+Version-Fixes. On the MoBo I can't seem to find the BIOS chip to get any further info and all but one chip has HeatSinks so I can't confirm much more. I did, however pull ALL specs and, weirdly, googling - eureka3 amd motherboard - there are references to the EXACT SAME PART NUMBER but says Socket AM3, so I'm guessing thos are full to the eyelids. I have found information indicating that BIOS v5.x can't be upgraded to v6.x. This, however, only applies to running under Windows. IOW, I found the associated (internal) documentation indicating using the DOS BIOS Update Program (which I have) plus the "/x" option, allowing up/down version flashing. The questions - 1- Since this is a new BIOS, what part of the Code would USB Keyboard/Mouse detection be in (no separate chip?) so I'll know specifically which "parts" to flash/not-flash (there are options for them). 2- How can a v5.14 BIOS be there and have Windows-7 installed, unless it has the SLIC2.1 and HP isn't saying that? 3- Should I use FAT16 on the USB stick? (Fat32 SHOULD be OK?) 4- Would Win98SE "basic" Boot be OK, or would another DOS-OS (DR-DOS) be better? 5- Shouldn't USB1.1 KBD's work in USB2 Front Connectors? *- Note - Two are the "dead Dell E521" keyboards, one is an older Gateway. Obviously, I would have to flash via AUTOEXEC.BAT with the "/q" option since no KBD at the time. The (possible) process - 1- Test Boot to "basic" DOS 2- Backup current BIOS (v5.14) 3- ATTEMPT to flash downloaded BIOS (v5.14) and pray 4- (MAYBE) ATTEMPT to flash newer BIOS (v6.09) I have nothing to lose at this point since I have confinced my friend that he will probably need another eBay Refurb with same Part#533234-002. Even a replacement MAY not have the Windows-7 SLIC2.1 BIOS and HOPE that the HDD would boot and stay Activated, otherwise reload with COA key and Activate just to be done with it. *- Comments on above? Side notes- Warranty states Begin=May17,2010/End=May16,2011 and the following from Internal Documentation- The FlexBuild sticker DOES HAVE the v6.x FeatureByte strings and am a bit concerned about the SystemID stuff (Product Name, SKU, Serial#, Features, ETC) being "wiped" during flash. Apparently, not a problem with the FeatureByte stuff (SMBIOS Type 11). BIOS Flash Notes and Recommended Parameters Note- The v6.x BIOS I have are appropriatley named "EU36.nn". Additionally, DO NOT ask about the Internal Docs or the Utilities I have. Not giving them out, you find them. (That statement is for the general populace.) WHEW!!! Hardware/BIOS Guru's, have at me! EDIT- Found the BIOS next to the CMOS/PWD Jumpers (Fintek?) and a sticker next to it specifically stating v5.14. Edit2- Forgot to mention the Flash Utility allows for loading certain Defaults from the BIOS-file -or- from the Running BIOS. Consider this a final question on "which ones" (Default or Optimized)...

Something weird... Been logged off several times. No need to respond. Just saying...

...or ScreenSavers, or any of the Power Management "powerdown". I turn them all off and have never had a single glitch. (NIC's and LAN @100mbs.)

SHEESH! (Magic Man holding the hand... :thumbsup:) That, sir, is the answer. 7-Zip will open the INSTALL.WIM so just "dump" them from the same folder name inside to the HDD as instructed.

Looks kind of like this? http://reboot.pro/topic/7590-create-dvd-from-pqservice-acer/

? On MSFN? Never seen one... Maybe RyanVM website?...

Posted images are WAAAAY too small to see. We have much larger eyes than yours?

You will "feel" nothing. You'll have access to all RAM. However, Applications will also have to be able to utilize it (64-bit) otherwise you gain nothing AFAIK.

Which one? I usually use "Admin Mode" with "AutoUpdate Off", observe the filesize, and select that set.

? How did you "download" them? (You didn't say...) I just look in MS Update to find the name, then go to MS Catalog and search for them. Downloads a CAB perfectly capable of installing via the internal INF.

MRT is a boondoggle. -X- doesn't even bother with it. Not worth integrating (inconistent month-to-month - GUID). THX, nuhi "new to all this". Will try out soon.

Oh, you tease! It's been a week now. Hmmm.... must be looking over the code to refresh his memory.

This is where you should have posted - http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/89-nlite/ No, it does not do any of that. You provide the original, unaltered cd and select the drivers, updates, etc, from your own "trove". It collects nothing from the running system. See the following - http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/158294-nlite-officialunofficial-faq/ http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/143271-nlite-reference-guide/ http://xdot.tk/ SATA drivers are a different subject (SATA/AHCI mode). Other drivers are bases upon your other hardware. Nlite is not a mystically "press a button, all done" application. HTH

Huh! Haven't seen g-force around for a while either. Nuhi, have you by chance hacked his account and are posting under both member names?

Yes, but who will repair the D-tube, jaclaz?

Yeah, I'd say "went wrong". Screens "blow up" when *anything* is posted, even in "reporting" a spammer. Since the post does show up, assuming the reporst went through. Just worked ok (no blowup).

<- Happy to see "human.dll" back!

Not quite OT, but you can also find a legitimate download of Vista that you can use either the "internal" key or the COA key if you want to get really radical and "start from scratch". Google "vista home" "service pack 2" iso download -torrentYou'll find a link directly to DigitalRiver files much like you can find legitimate Windows7 ones. You MUST have a valid key. Go jaclaz' route though to keep in line with the Vendor's setup because if you go the "radical" route you can never go back to the OEM way without more hassle than it may be worth to you. -OR- you could follow the "get the keys" and the associated ISO files, "Recover to Factory" the current setup (not even making the CD's/DVD's), get another appropriate HDD, and start from scratch, thus tucking away the "Factorey Restored" HDD for whatever reason. (Side note if you decide this, after Recovery, do NOT reboot, but shut down - that's the way YOU would have received it when purchased, providing New User Name and all). Warning - You get to "create" the Recovery CD/DVD set JUST ONCE and never again. Assuming you want to keep the current HDD (and OEM Install/Crapware), ignore this. /interjection
