Windows with Microsoft, and you're done. At worst I've occasionally had to call Microsoft because the online activation didn't go through - but it's always a simple process and windows xp code purple the MS folks are very helpful. But recently, I encountered a business practice

Code Purple Windows Vista
my clients. A customer brought in a HP Pavilion desktop (p6110y w/Vista) with a dead motherboard. They had purchased a new laptop and we grabbed the data off the old computer. But they http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Your-system-has-detected-a-configuration-error-Code-purple/td-p/692441 still wanted the desktop operational and wiped clean, so we ordered a refurbished motherboard for it, installed it, and ran the factory install from the recovery partition on the HD. When it finished, the system rebooted and I saw this: Puzzled, I tried the recovery reinstall again. Same result. Before I was sitting in a call queue to HP, I did a little research, and https://fixedit.itxpress.biz/2013/10/30/hps-code-purple-configuration-error/ found that HP was not playing fair… My first find was this thread about someone trying to replace the motherboard on their HP. While the original poster had apparently used a non HP motherboard replacement, other people posting had used HP motherboards and one even had *HP* repair the computer (presumably using HP parts) and they encountered the error. That person was told to ship the system back due to a ‘firmware' issue. Riiiiight. My next find had similar advice, always use an HP motherboard (which I had done - it was an exact HP part number match to the failed one!). If you got this error - use a retail DVD to install Windows and no problem - but that's such a hassle compared to a recovery partition install. Then someone said something about a ‘check' directory and if you removed that, the problem went away. Hmmm. Finally I found the true answer here. On an HP forum, someone posted a way to fix it by changing a script in an HP post install directory. But WHY did that fix it? The 2nd thread I linked too had the link I neede
System Configuration Error (code purple) Windows Vista purehate July 24, 2010 Errors 51 Comments Tweet I am not sure how I have been lucky enough never to encounter the HP/Compaq booby trap but until today I https://www.question-defense.com/2010/07/24/hpcompaq-system-configuration-error-code-purple-windows-vista was so fortunate. Apparently HP Tattoos a number in the bios of their motherboards so that when you try to use the factory recovery, it checks to make sure the stock motherboard is in place. If it is not in place you get the following error: Your system has detected a configuration error. Please report this error to Customer Care using the phone number code purple found in the Warranty and Support Guide that came with your PC. Unless corrected, this error will prevent your PC from operating properly. Turn off your PC by pressing and holding the Power button. After a few seconds your PC will automatically turn off. (Code Purple) I mean seriously? HP does not want you to be able to change the motherboard in their PC's. I configuration error code am guessing this is some idiots solutions to piracy somehow but in any case I will stop complaining and get to the solution. It took some searching but I finally found a solution to this problem. There are a few ways to do this but basically there is a script in the recovery image of the operating system which checks the bios for the correct motherboard code. It is a pretty simple batch script which says if the numbers don't match return a exit status of 1 and give the code purple error and if it does match give a exit status of 0 and move on to the clean up phase. I will say that normally you would have to mount the drive on another computer or boot a rescue disk of some sort in order to do this but it turns out that HP was nice enough to give us access to a cmd.exe window even when receiving this error. 1. Once the error box comes up press shift and F-10 to get a command line. 2. Navigate to the following folder. bash C:\\hp\\bin\\checkdmi\\ 3. Enter the following command. ba
