How to change BIOS language from Chinese to English US

[WhyDNA]

Somebody gave me a Pavilion G7 notebook and it is in Chinese.  How can I change it to English?  Everything including the BIOS is in Chinese.

[KNRK]

Step 01 : Restart the Unit and keep tapping the F10 Key

Step 02 : After you log in to BIOS Setup, move to 4th Tab on the right and Press Enter

This should bring up the language menu and you will be able to change it accordingly

Let me know how it goes, so I can further help you

Regards,

Thank you, KNRK.  Your response is correct and very helpful.  Now, I need to reinstall Windows 7 but it is asking me to insert the installation disc and restart the computer.  I do not have an installation disc.  Isn't the installation program for Windows 7 imbedded on the hard disk in a separate section that I can access for this purpose?  I appreciate your advice.

Originally the Notebook will have the Recovery Partition and that would give you an option to create a set of Recovery Disk. If you have not created those Recovery Disks when the Notebook was in working condition we cannot do that right now

As of now if you need to recover your Notebook with the new Operating System you can check if the Recovery Partition

is in a working condition or not by tapping F11 upon restart, If yes you can easily recover/restore your Notebook

If Recovery Partition is corrupted

You need to call HP Technical Support and request for a set of Recovery Disks , So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest

Or

You need call up Microsoft and purchase an Operating System with the License Key, So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest

I strongly recommend you to Contact HP Technical Support over the Phone for further assistance without any delay
