How to recover notebook with Recovery DVD's instead of USB-stick?

I've ordered a Recovery kit from hp.com for my Compaq Mini 110c.
Apperantly HP sends DVD's to recover notebooks... I don't know if they know it, but there is no DVD-player in a notebook.
To order a recovery kit, I had to fill in a sheet with my model number and serial number. So they should know what kind of system I have. But OK, let's get to the point.
First of all, my keyboard doesn't work, my trackpad only works when I didn't touch my keyboard after reboot. If I press any key the trackpad doesn't work anymore and I have to connect my USB mouse. And I cannot connect to my wireless network.
I've had a stupid virus on this notebook and I think that's why its acting strange.
Before ordering the recovery kit, I tried formatting my system with a default Windows XP disk (after copying it to a bootable USB stick). I managed to get to the setup menu in XP, but apperantly the SATA-disks in my notebook are not recognized by the WinXP setup.
I don't have a legal Windows Vista or higher version available.
So I've ordered the recovery kit from HP. When I try to make a bootable HDD with the recovery DVD's, I get a warning that some file on the DVD was not found.
I'm a bit out of ideas to recover my notebook.
Any help or remarks would be great...

Hi Thom,
There are Two options available.
1. You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below - these will reinstall the operating system, all required drivers and nearly all of the original software ( the exception often being trials of MS Office ).
Order HP Recovery Discs.

Satellite Pro A210 - How to recover it with misplaced recovery disk`?

I have been having some problems with my Satellitte Pro A210, (AMD Athlon 64 x2, Vista, 120GB HDD, 2GB RAM), and it seems that I have made recovery discs when new and have misplaced them.
What can I do?

What you can do? Good question.
If you don't have original Toshiba installations disc you have two options either order new one under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or use Microsoft installations disc. All drivers, tools and utilities you can find on Toshiba support and download page.
By the way: if you got notebook with recovery image saved on HDD you can try to install OS using F8 and Repair my computer option. More about that you can read under

How to recover using lion recovery disk assistant IN MAC MINI

how to recover using lion recovery disk assistant IF MY KEYBOARD AND MOUSE DOEST NOT WORK DURING BOOTING ?

Hello:
If my memory serves me correctly, the licence agreement that comes with a new system indicates that is good for one system....
Also, I do not think that something that would boot one type of processor would work on a different type.

Can't figure out what is wrong with recovery DVDs

Last year, right after turning my laptop ON, I've created 4 DVDs as such: http://i56.tinypic.com/6i79rn.jpg
Recovery DVD Disk 1
Recovery DVD Disk 2
Recovery DVD Disk 3
Windows Recovery Environment 64-bit
My Laptop is Qosmio F60-14R, with Windows 7 Home Premium.
Now all I want to do is format my laptop and re-install windows 7 Home premium using those 4 DVDs. However I can't figure out why I cannot re-install or get the laptop back to the factory state.
This have wasted 8 hours straight of my time and frustrated me by great deal. Can you kindly tell me what I have to do? I am lost!

Here is what I have done so far:
I inserted 'Windows Recovery Environment (64-bit)' DVD and booted the laptop from it.
First thing that loads up is a window with two options:
- Toshiba Recovery Wizard
- System Recovery Options
Taking Toshiba Recovery Wizard as choice, clicking Next.
It asks me: "Please set 1st Recovery Media and press Next to Continue.
So, I insert Recovery DVD 1 and then click Next. However it ejects the disc drive (seems Recovery DVD 1 is not the correct Disk!).
So I repeat the same process with Recovery DVD 2 and Recovery DVD 3 and again the Disk Drive ejects the Disks.... As a desperation attempt I even put the Windows Recovery Environment Disk inside but that as well get ejected.
Okay, so the Toshiba Recovery Wizard is not the right choice 'it seems'.
So, I restart the laptop and inserted 'Windows Recovery Environment (64-bit)' DVD and booted the laptop from it.
First thing that loads up is a window with two options: (First choice failed, now trying second choice)
- --Toshiba Recovery Wizard--
- System Recovery Options
So, choosing System Recovery Options this time and clicking Next. I Choose US as Keyboard, then click Next. A small window appears which gives me two further options:
- Use Recovery tools that can help fix problems starting Windows. Select an Operating System to repair.
- Restore your computer using a system image that you created earlier.
So, I already tried the first choice and it takes me to another window with several recovery tools. One of the tools is System Image Recovery but when I click it, it gives a Warning messagebox that says:
Windows cannot find a system image on this computer. etc.
But when I insert every disk, still the warning messagebox shows up as if all the four recovery DVDs are irrelevant.
So, it seems the first choice doesn't lead me anywhere. So, remains the second choice:
- Restore your computer using a system image that you created earlier.
Turns out it is exactly the same 'System Image Recovery' from first option mentioned few lines earlier. So, there you have it, checkmate.
Please guide.

How do i transfer system recovery dvd to a usb

Recently my ultrabook broken down and now the start up is in a never ending loop. I brought a system recovery media from hp, I cleary stated my ultrabook doesn't have dvd slot and he said that's fine once you get the dvd call us up and we will help you.

Can someone that understands my problem help me out?
How can I transfer a system recovery dvd to create a bootable system recovery usb. I have another pc.

Do you have only 1 dvd or several? I have seen others attempt this with a multiple dvd set and fail miserably. With 1 dvd you might have a chance. Create an ISO from the dvd with something like ImgBurn or other cd/dvd burning tool that can create an ISO file from a disc.
Once you have the ISO file use Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool to create a usb Recovery. It was created for Windows7 but works on other ISO files.

Where or how can I get a recovery DVD for Satelite L350-16L

Sorry for my english,
I am from poland.
3 days ago I bought notebook toshiba. I made two recovery discs and I decided to try instal Vista from recovery discs.
I had made to be sure they corect but the OS did not stand up.
Now I have a problem cos my hdd was formated during instalation and any one of the to recovery discs dont work.
ASP does not want to create a new hdd recovery on my hdd.
The one solution is to bay the dvd recovery i internet and pay 35 euro.
But why i have to pay for something I have alredy bought. It is stupid.
What I can do? Is there anything solution too do not pay?
Maybe someone have a dvd with recovery to Toshiba Satelite L350 16L VISTA HOME PREMIUM and could send to me.
I will pay for delivery of course. Or someone could share the fils through the internet.

> 3 days ago I bought notebook Toshiba. I made two recovery discs and I decided to try installing Vista from recovery discs. I had made to be sure they correct but the OS did not stand up.
What do you mean exactly?
Did you create the Recovery disk successfully or not?
I mean if you have created the recovery disk successfully then you should have this disk. Is it right?
So what is the problem exactly? Are you not able to boot from this disk or what?
By the way; the recovery disk has to be bought from the internet as you have mentioned.
The recovery disk is copyright protected and therefore its not allowed to share or copy it.

How to burn iDVD with no DVD burner..

Hi - I have a new MacBook but foolishly didn't buy the one with the DVD burning capability. I have created a nice slideshow with pics and music, nice transitions, etc. in iDVD which I want to be able to play in a DVD player on the TV, but can not burn it as I have no superdrive. Can you think of a way around this, or other software I can use to create the same slideshow and burn to a CD and play on the TV? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Your DVD player attached to the TV will probably be looking for a DVD, unless it will also play video CD's. One option is to buy yourself an external DVD recorder. You can scan the discussions to find ones that work with macs (not all specify that they will work with macs). For example, OWC has 3 external recorders from $80 to $120 at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/optical-drives/ . If you follow the path I've seen others follow, once you find out how easy it is to create various materials for DVD's, you'd probably get your monies worth from an external DVD burner.
Another option would be to hook your computer directly to your TV, if the TV will allow it. Many newer LCD/plasma TV's allow for computer hookup.

Re: Error message with Recovery DVD creator

A few days ago i have purchased a new laptop Toshiba L650 12Z. I wanted to make the recovery dvd's.
I run the recovery DVD creator and after a while it gives the error "The file can not be read. E: / sources / boot.wim Error Code: 020150-20-00000000)" and the process stops. This I have tried several times, with the necessary waste of DVDs.
Does anyone know what to do in this situation.
Thanks

Last step should be option given by Jeka. For recovery DVD creation I have always used DVD-R medias from Verbatim or TDK and have never had such problems.
Please try the same and use DVD-R medias only.

Formatting the Hard Disk with recovery DVD's

I'm having a L505 S5996 laptop and it takes a longer time to boot. So I thought to format the HD and install a fresh copy of windows and other drivers from my recovery dvds.There is only one HD partition in my laptop but when I open the disk management window it shows three HD partitions. These two hidden partitions are named as "Recovery Partitions". So I want to know the formatting of HD will result in erasing all these hard disk partitions(including the hidden partitions) in my laptop. If so please tell me the correct way of formatting the HD without loosing pre-installed image of Windows.

if you want to return it back to factory. as in exactly how it was when you opened the box and turned it on. you can select recovery to factory out of box when you either run the recovery media or hold zero during boot and use the recovery partitions.

How to recover from a repair DVD?

I created my repair disk on DVD about 6 months ago, without the image, just the repair disk. This is a 2-year old HP desktop Pavillion.
Now I have a brand new drive WD 500GB (original was Seagate 500GB, both SATA) and the repair disk does not work with it. I formatted the new drive using the same desktop from the command prompt using the command Format C:, one NTFS volume 500GB. The repair disk loads fine but none of the options get me to recovery. When I go to the Recovery Manager, all the options are not enabled, and no way to select the recovery options.
What is the problem?

The problem is you needed to create a set of about 3 HP recovery DVD's when you first got your computer. If you still have the original hard drive and it functions properly and you didn't erase or format it, than you could reinstall it and make a set of recovery discs. If it was broke, erased/formatted, or you got rid of it... you will need to order a set of discs from HP.

Satellite A25-S279: How to reinstall XP with Ghost DVD without internal drive

I have tosbhia satellite a25-s279 and the toshiba ghost dvd.
My internal dvd drive is broken (w/ some difficult, it can play some audio cd's some of the time. it doesn't recognize any cd-rom nor dvd). I also have external pioneer dvd writer dvr-s606 (connect to satellite via usb). I want to reinstall xp.
The Bios is 1.10, the chipset is ALi M1672 rev 0. You have option of booting off HDD, FDD, CD-ROM, and LAN.
I think you also have option of bootin off pc-card, but this is not in Bios.
It appears (from reading these forums) that my satellite does not support booting off the external drive, so i can't use the ghost disc?
I found another website suggesting make usb stick bootable and load xp from the memory stick.
However, reading these forums, it also appears that this is not possible w/ my satellite?
I guess I can buy a replacement internal dvd drive, but these seem extremely unreliable, and i already have functioning external drive.
any other advice would be appreciated.
thanks.

>It appears (from reading these forums) that my satellite does not support booting off the external drive, so i can't use the ghost disc?
That's correct. The external USB CD/DVD drive is not bootable and you will be not able to boot from the CD
> I found another website suggesting make USB stick bootable and load Xp from the memory stick
No, its not possible to boot from the USB stick. BIOS does not support this boot option
I think the only way is to buy an internal supported drive and then to boot from the CD.
You could also try to boot from the LAN but this is not easy and you will need an RIS server.
I think this is not a really solution.
