How to Install Windows 7 in UEFI Mode from USB Drive to HP Z Turbo Drive

March 12, 2018, 3:01 pm

Hello Again,

 

Following my recent apparent failure of  the z620_2 (E5-1680 V2) motherboard and subsequent purchase of a replacement  (en route), I am preparing z620_2 for reinstallation of Windows 7 plus programs to an HP Z Turbo Drive 256GB AHCI (G1) (=Samsung SM951 AHCI).

 

The conventional method to install a PCIe M.2 drive is to prepare a USB flash drive of 8GB + by creating a single, clean FAT32 formatted / GPT partition, load an installation version of Windows - typically from a Windows ISO, and set that version to be bootable from a USB drive- typically by moving and renaming certain files. 

 

My concern is to create the USB installation of the Windows version optimized for the z420 / z620.

 

Two ideas to create this version:

 

1.  The Z Turbo Drive arrived with Windows installed and includes HP Recovery Partition of 12.08 GB, so I've never actually installed Windows to the Z Turbo.  It's logical that it's not possible to install Windows from one partition to another on the same drive, so I'm assuming it's setup on a USB drive.

 

The folders on the Recovery partition (10.3GB) are:

 

boot

efi

FIRTOOLS

sources

1

bootmgr efi

wpeinit

 

Q: Can I simply copy that contents of the recovery partition to the USB flash drive and set the boot order accordingly?

 

2. I also have the recovery DVD's from z420_3 and have seen a procedure in which the files from installation DVD's are copied to the flash drive and a couple are renamed so they will boot from a USB drive. 

 

The best assistance would be to find the elusive HP document entitled along the lines of: "How to Install Windows 7 in UEFI Mode from USB Drive to HP Z Turbo Drive".  I'm quite surprised that these expensive and unconventional drives are not more prominently documented. I must have missed them! There are pages of drawings of plugging it into a PCIe slot, but how is it organized to run the computer?

 

Thanks!

Retreive downgraded product key

Hello!
A year ago or so I have purchased a used HP workstation computer, which came preinstalled with Windows 7 Professional. It had a Windows 8 sticker on it though, and after further reading, it turns out that it was a downgraded computer. Now, back than I thought, that using used Windows keys is illegal, so I wiped out the system, installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Professional with a retail key I had lying around. Now I would need that retail key for another PC, but than for this workstation I would need the original Windows 7 Pro key that it came with. I could extract the original Windows 8 key from the BIOS that was downgraded, but not the Windows 7 key. Just to clear things up, I'll say it again. The computer had Windows 8, but was downgraded to Windows 7 with downgrade rights, but than I wiped out everything and installed my own copy of Windows 7, and now I want to get back the licence key of the original Windows 7 that was on this computer. It wouldn't be a problem if I had to wipe out everything from the computer again, just to get back to the old system with some kind of recovery CD for example, as I have read that in some cases that is needed for such thing, but I am not sure about downgraded OSes. Also, if I need to order a specific recovery CD, please specify, which one I need and where can I order it.

Thanks you.

How to Properly install Firmware for BIOS

I received my HP support email critical driver alert stating a critical driver (SP85516.exe) was available for the BIOS. I downloaded the file and remembered when I was updating my bios a year ago over the HP website going back a long ways through its revision history, installing in a consecutive order of its bios version files, that perhaps I should ask if there is any special way to install this critical driver?  There was with the bios flashing, but is there with this, or can I just open it or do I run as admin or is there a readme that says do it such and such?  The file is version 00.03.06 Rev.A  and so is my present bios version, they match. So can I just double click this critical file open and let it do its thing or what?

Hello, basically I found a big difference between same machines Z420 but one with a 1620 xeon and the other with 1650. The ono with the 1620 tend always to stay at his lower speed (around 1.19) even when I open up excel or doing some query on SQL with access or some of my programs and rise up speed only if I open up programs that use 3D functions. So my computer for general use is very slow and it's very annoying because the other machine with 1650 just starting windows get to 3.0ghz. What should I check for try fix it ??

The bios is the last one available updated yesterday. Thank you for any help

Additional SATA Controller and RAID

March 17, 2018, 2:58 am

Hi, I am new to the forum today and would really appreciate some help. I have just purchased a used HP Z620 (dual E5-2690 with 96GB and Quadro K4000). The intention is to have a multiboot config with VMWare ESX 6.5 as the primary O/S (dual Windows 2016 Server Standard VM), also with Win 10 Pro and Linux Red Hat dedicated installs (max use of hardware for mining with dual GTX1070 and SLI).

 

I had planned to use this with 3 x 500GB SSD (RAID 5) and 3 x 3TB HDD (RAID 5). I have purchased all of the components and appreciate that I have made incorrect assumptions about how easy this would be.

 

I cannot see  more that 3 disks when installing via the BIOS or when installing via Windows. When reading the detailed spec and blogs , I see the SATA is 2 x SATA 3 (6GBPS) and 4 x SATA 2 (3GBPS), also that RAID is software rather than hardware only supporting RAID 0,1 and 10. I have come to the conclusion that my options are;

 

(1) to reduce the config to dual SSD and dual  HDD both with RAID 1 (but can still only see 3 x drives), or;

 

(2) add a seperate SATA Controller 8 Port SATA 3 and a seperate RAID Controller. I have found a SATA controller card that looks suitable (Syba SI-PEX40071), and I also see through that there are a couple of compatible RAID cards  (LSI 9217-4i4e or LSI 9270-8i).

 

I am look for some guidance, is option 2 feasible and if so, how difficult is it to achieve. Would the SATA controller be compatible? do I need to disable the Mobo SATA Controller?,  would I be able to control the new SATA and RAID controller independently of O/S?. Also I see that the compatible RAID controllers are SAS / SATA and I have no use for SAS, so is this appropriate or would a different RAID card be better?

 

I appreciate this is actually a lot of questions, but any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.

HP Z220 CMT - Graphics card upgrade

Hi, 

 

I was looking to upgrade my Z220 CMT graphics card from a Quadro 600 to potentially a Quadro P2000.

 

I understand that this is not on the list of recommended graphics cards but saw on a separate thread that someone has installed a GTX 1060 on a Z220 succesfuly. It was my understanding that the GTX 1060 and Quadro P2000 are made from the same base components.

 

Do you think this is likely to work? I read somewhere that there may be a BIOS issue but if this was the case then you would image the GTX 1060 would not worth either. Will the older computer bottleneck the GPU performance?

 

Thanks for the help
