My computer says application is missing or corrupt and boot selection failed. I have run all of the tests and everything has passed. The laptop is only 2 years old. It is a HP 412 nr with Windows 7 Home Premium. Will this fix my problem ?

Wasted my money, not much, but my last ditch effort before moving to a Mac. I have not retreated my choice to move from Windows 7. HATED Windows 8 without a touch screen, but then you have gorilla arm. Also, my Mac Air is cool as a cucumber on my lap, no need for a cooling fan.

the answer for me was yes and no. Yes, it worked well enough so that the repair system from my backup cds was able to reinstall everything after the cloning procedure left me with enough errors that I was unable to start Windows 8 normally. My experience was with a refurbed HP Elite laptop that came with windows 8 preinstalled. My hope for you is that you took the time to prepare a complete backup with a boot sector. Good luck.

Be careful with Lenovo. Even if it's a supported Intel card, if you don't purchase it directly from Lenovo, it won't boot. They serialize their cards.

Tough question. Delete (clean out) your old drivers then go to HP's site and download the latest drivers. Be sure you have enough paper in the tray and that should do the job.

This CPU is for desktops only. The chances are high that your CPU cannot be replaced because it is soldered down onto your motherboard. Even if you could replace it, you would only be able to get something marginally better. If you suspect something is broken on your laptop, I would contact HP about getting it fixed.

I'm actually having issues... I'm not sure if its the MB for the hard drive. After installing the OS and updating Windows crashes and won't boot up. It gets stuck on the update screen and won't change.

I believe the boot cd could possibly fix any problem.It allows you into the heart of the computer,registry,etc.....,,,but it won't fix it for you........

I just bought this laptop and I'm having the same problem. It runs fine and suddenly freezes and nothing works. The only way out is a cold boot with a prolonged unsuccessful Windows 7 repair attempt. Any ideas how to correct this problem?

Good question. I've been having issues with my hard drive lately. It says my memory is too low and to add memory. I've purchased an iPad to replace this product. For what I spent on this ASUS, I am not happy that it only lasted just over 1 year before major problems. I would look at an HP. Good luck.

Thank you for posting this fix. I hate to bother you but I am having the same problem and tech support said they were moving me up another step but I haven't heard from them. Can you explain how to disable microsoft services and what you mean by a clean boot.

To clarify, I did put in a different hard drive and load Windows 7 on it. HP does not have good support for this model for Windows 7 drivers.

I had the 8.9" Aspire One. Before I was going to return it, I wanted to use the Restore program to restore Windows and get rid of the Ubuntu partition I put on it. I ran the program and it said it was going to reboot. At reboot, it just seemed to go back into GRUB. I chose the Windows partition, of course, but nothing happened. So, it seemed that the Acer Recover program depended on nothing else touching the MBR. I think I could have gotten around it if the Recovery program would let me boot to a CD or USB drive, but I don't remember seeing that option anywhere. Any ideas in case I want to buy another Aspire One? Thanks in advance. I had the 8.9" Aspire One.

Yes. You have to go int0 the BIOS and turn on legacy boot (sorry I forget the exact setting but a google search will get you pointed in the right direction). I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed on mine and it works flawlessly.

Try going to the windows 8 screen, press hp and find the hp support. There you can update drivers, mine is great and I had some new drivers to install. Hope it helps!

To get it pre-installed no. Easiest answer your going to get unfortunately is to install a clean copy of windows 7. You won't be able to get any of the drivers for the computer from the hp site pertaining to that specific computer but just use a similar model that has windows 7 drivers available. Worked for me!
