OEM Installation Timelapse #10 - HP Pavilion P6243w

Описание: The tenth episode shows the HP Pavilion P6243w, with Windows 7 Home Premium RTM x64.

This is the first HP I've done for this series. Bypassing to install one of many HP recovery medias in the Vista/7 era sometimes can result in problems, preferably the DV series of its computer lineup, but not like the P6243w and some others. This one completes the restoration but has two problems here:

1. The "Code Purple" error. Can be fixed by editing "CheckDMI.cmd" in the "checkdmi" folder, adding "goto cleanup" at the very top of the script next to "@echo off", saving it, and then the last and very important step to force restart the computer without any confirmation (otherwise the installation will fail).
2. Hardware Diagnostic Tools checks the authentication of the license for this specific model, but because I'm running in an unknown model, specifically my late 2012 Mac mini, it fails to check and reports it as "not licensed". Clicking OK brings up to the point where it gets stuck and can't continue to HP TCS (setup). To solve this, end the process "BTBExec.exe" using Task Manager.

In future episodes, I should avoid installing any DV-series recovery media. These can result in either getting stuck on the Software Installation screen, erasing the entire hard disk, etc.
