My Touchpad was working fine untill when I plugged it into my PC and it said I needed to format the drive. So I did a format to the reccomended FAT32 (as per Windows) and now even webOS isnt booting. At the time I did not have Android installed either.
I can boot into bootie mode, but neither novacom or webOS Doctor are recognizing my Touchpad. And when I boot up the tablet, I just end up looking at the HP logo, as webOS is not booting.
PLEASE HELP!
not that I actually have a solution.. but out of curiousity..
you REALLY formated your TP's harddisk from your Windows-PC?
Either way, you may have a look at the few threads around here. there where some threads about people who also had problems with doctoring..

first off, wanted to say I've done a bit of searching, but never really found a workable solution to this problem...
I'm running windows 7 x64
At one point I had no problem finding my phones drives on my system. Everything was working fine. I went to format the SD card for ext4, but the windows program (blanking on name) wouldn't correctly recognize my SD card. I ended up using my ubuntu boot disk. However during all that my system somehow got completely screwed. I can't get the phones drives to appear in windows.
I have all the drivers for my vibrant installed on my laptop, but when i plug the phone in the drives don't appear. In device manager it shows two new disk drives (samsung sgh-t959 card usb device and samsung sgh-t959 usb device) without any problems when it's plugged in.
Odin recognizes the phone in DL mode without a problem, and I've flashed to stock a few times through it, as well as flashing jac's kernel. My desktop recognizes the phone, but I'm rarely home and would like to use my laptop to put mods for clockworkmod on my phone, as it's a lot easier to use than odin.
I've reinstalled more than a few times and it's always the same, drivers show up and work, drives dont.
Does anyone know how to get this working again?
I installed cyanogenmod 7.1 with no problems. Everything works fine, it is so much better than WebOS.
When I plug the touchpad into a usb port on any computer (XP, Windows 7, or OSX), they see the tablet as a drive but an unformatted one. I have been tempted to format it, but I figure that will bring me nothing but grief...
I have read everything proposed on this forum and others, like: fixing the permissions, toggling dev mode in webos, manually connecting usb storage. Nothing will get my computers to recognize this as a mass storage device...
Help!

did you fix? i have same problem, when i plug in usb to pc, it wants me to format and states os not recognized.
To make a long story short, I've restored WebOS, did a full wipe (via WebOS) of the SD Card and data and now when trying to go through the process of installing CM on the Touchpad again Windows wants to format the SD Card every time I plug it into the computer.
Is this normal behavior? When I allowed Windows to previously format the card (Fat32), all sorts of problems (booting issues) ensued. I am afraid to do it again.
Thank you.
I found out the hard way that a restore of webOS does NOT restore the SD card to its original state if you had previously installed CM. You have to run ACMEUninstaller prior to re-installing CM.
Doing as you've instructed: running the ACMEUninstaller in the "Pow+Home" mode (novacom boot mem:// < ACMEUninstaller) following a webOS factory reset resulted in the TP booting into wiped WebOS and prompting me to select language.
However, the Windows machine still is unable to read/write to the SD card and hence I am unable to proceed with the process of putting the necessary packages onto the card (CWM, moboot, cm7-alpha3.5).
I'm beginning to think this is an OS problem rather than the TP (this time attempting this process on my work machine running WinXP x86).
Any further advice appreciated
PS. Thinking of attempting to fire up a Linux image in a VM to see if I can mount the SD there...

This happened to me.. I just downloaded webos update, fixed the issue. But if you're already on 3.0.5 not sure of the solution though. If u have home network, u can pull files through es file explorer LAN option

I managed to sort everything out.
After successful ACMEUninstall, I reconfigured the factory reset WebOS and tethered my phone for WiFi (corporate wifi around here, so no certificate). After logging in to WebOS, the PC was able to mount the drive and I went through ACMEInstall process with moboot, cwm and cm7-a3.5, everything is working. Thanks.
Now if I could only get this TP on the corporate wifi now, I'd be set (802.1x PEAP MSCHAP-v2 stage2 auth, can only seem to export the required certificate in CER of P7B formats, which android doesn't seem to want to import nicely... -- sorry to go off topic, I'll post a new thread if I don't succeed in this...) Thanks again.
I've been able to load, boot & run the 4.2 release on my Dell Mini 9 from a USB key just fine. It even recognizes my Intel 4965AGN wireless card. All is good ONLY FROM THE USB. Although I have the option to install to HDD, it just won't do it. Every time I try to boot from the HDD it says "Operating System not found". The files appear to be there but in a folder I've tried formatting FAT32, NTFS, EXT3 and all seem to have the same results. Am I missing something or is there a problem with the installer? Anybody else been here yet?
As I stated, everything runs fine from a USB stick, even my wireless and Play Store! Just wish I could figure out how to get everything to the HDD and boot from there. It goes through all the motions like it is installing, leaves what look like the correct files there, just won't work. Go to Reboot and no OS.
Any help would be appreciated.
Install in virtualbox
I guess you need to install work with these x86 releases in virtual format... like using virtualbox

I managed to install it onto another USB drive. It is a lot easier than sorting out dual booting. The problems I had with setting up the second USB drive was to do with its partition settings such as whether it was a primary partition, active etc.
A few days ago i installed remix os to my 40gb hdd (not primary hdd) via a hard drive case that puts ide through usb. After i installed remix, i booted back into windows and used rmx tools to expand my data partition to 34gb and then i went back to remix and everything worked fine. i installed google services and rebooted a few times and everything was still working. then, to get better performance out of it, i plugged the 40gb hdd back into my motherboard via the ide cable. Now whenever i try to boot into remix again it gets stuck on "detecting android-x86" and won't do anything else. The hard drive status light also stops. I've tried plugging my install usb into the computer when it gets stuck but that does nothing. Any help? my specs are
Intel core 2 duo @2.8
ati radeon 4760 gpu
asus p5ql mobo
250gb hdd (primary)
40gb hdd formatted in ntfs (so i could have 34gb of data)
Seems like it can't read the data partition or something, I don't know how you installed this but maybe you should get a linux distro running first, that makes it so much easier to manage Remix OS see http://forum.xda-developers.com/rem...buntu-mint-t3311865/post65243289#post65243289 for example
You can also try to add the boot option DATA_IN_MEM=1 to see if it boots up

I installed it from a 16gb flash drive to the hard drive. Where do I add that boot option?
I have installed stable lineage OS 14.1 on my PC. but before the last logo of the is shown it says (Detecting Android-x68.................................................... found at /dev/sdb3)
console:/#(...........................................)
I don't know what to write after (console:/#)
Can anyone help me with this.
I appreciate that...
