    Hello everyone.
    I'm here because I encountered something REALLY annoying.
    I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 on my HP Mini and after installing all the drivers, the battery only indicates the % and not how many hours left. Is there a fix for this?

    I used Everest to see what is going on and there is no Discharge Rate shown.

    Any Help? It's a HP Mini 110.

    I downloaded a program that works, but I was wondering if I could "hack" the original Win7 installation to show this? I want to sell the netbook, but I think it will bug people that it doesn't show how long the battery will last.
