The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

notebook will not boot to windows only HP quickplay

Asked by cfischer225 in PC Laptops, Windows XP Operating System, Computer Hard Drives

Tags: , ,

so my buddy gave me his notebook, which i restored about a month ago using hps restore wizard due to a missing ntldr. this time it had a corrupt file and wouldnt boot. before this file went corrupt he told me when he would turn it on it would boot staright to hp's quickplay which is a feature that allows you to play music/dvds without booting to windows. anyway i figured maybe he had a bad hdd so i got the seatools and ran a test it found an error and i chose to fix it ran another test and came back fine. so i booted to the recovery console form hp which allows you to recover your os while keeping your data. so it ran through that and when it was rebooting to load windows i would get a windows splash screen then straight to quickplay, so i restarted and sometimes i wouldnt get the spalsh screen but everytime it went to quickplay. whats my move it seems to me like its not detecting the os on the hdd and goign to the next device in the boot order which is this quickplay. i dont want to go out and buy an new hdd if the diag test comes back fine. its out of warrenty and hp will not sel lme an extended warrenty if the computer is not working correctly.Start Free Trial
