Hp pavilion dv6 3034nr system recovery

I have a 3 year old HP Pavilion DV6 3034nr Entertainment Notebook having Win 7 home premium installed that I wish to restore to factory settings.I made another partion and changed the drive letters of existing partions. I have either lost or never made system recovery discs. Now how can i do that....

Hi there:
Follow this useful document:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01867418
If the recovery partition in the laptop HDD has been corrupted or removed, then you may not be able to recover to factory using that. But you can by ordering recovery USB from HP directly & using that.

HP Pavilion DV6 Restore/Data Recovery

I'm taking a look at a friend's laptop that was acting up. It refused to connect to the internet and when/ if it ever did the screen would go completely white locking you out of even task mngr. I installed AVG Free and detected a couple trojans. The problem seems resolved. It was working fine with several restarts until Windows detected updates.
After installing the updates and restarting Windows seems unable to display anything past the login background. Booting the windows diagnostic or system recovery leads to the same login background. Neither user account is displayed and there's nothing to do besides a hard shutdown.
I was able to open the HP Advanced System Diagnostics and ran a Start-up Test. It returned a DST failure with a failure ID of 94get9-5086ab-xd0021-60t803. The HDD is a 320Gb WDC WD3200BEKT-60V5T1.
I would love to simply perform a system restore but I have two problems. First, I need a way to back up the important user files. Second, I need a functioning method for performing a restore.
I'm able to boot into Linux from a USB but I can't get the HDD to mount. I don't know if the drive is encrypted or not. If anyone has advice for me on this I'd be grateful cause I'm not sure how to go about it. I don't have any hardware to connect the HDD to another system so I'll need to get the current OS working or find a way to boot to another that can access the drive.
As for the system recovery, since the default method isn't loading, is there something I can download from HP that will boot from a CD or USB? Or, is there another way to perform a restore outside of starting up Windows?
This question was solved.

Hi:
A DV6 would most likely have a W7 Home Premium OS installed.
See if rubbing the product key with a jelly bean works. It does from time to time if the key isn't too obliterated.
If you have a W7 home premium disk already (that you just used for a fresh install), just use the product key from the notebook to activate.
Otherwise, do this...
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river/
If the jelly bean trick doesn't work, you will be forced to purchase a set of recovery DVD's because they don't need a product key to work.

I have hp pavilion dv6-6080se my recovery removed help

my notebook recovery (pavilion dv6-6080se) removed

Hi,
To get the Recovery Partition back, you would need to perform a 'Factory Reset' using your Recovery DVDs/media - remember to back-up any of your personal files first.
If you don't have these discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.
Order HP Recovery Discs.
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

Luckly, I have a set of 3 recovery dvds but once I finished the setup of the 3 dvds an error mesage has appeared as follow;;;;;
Recovery Manager could not restore your computer using the factory image.
Pleae contact H support. Error code: 0xe0ef000d
and when I going to restart the device the following msg. coming:
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
FYI : I Bios setting on Default
PLZ
Regards.....

Refrain from the no added value comment. It is not appreciated. This is a volunteer forum.
Answer the questions from the previous post before you ask questions beyond the original one. If you don't answer then I will move on to a thread where someone whom needs help will cooperate in trubleshooting an issue.
If you have anything plugged into a usb port remove it. Do not touch any keys while performing a system recovery.
Why did you ask the questions about the partition types? Did you modify or change the partition types? If you modified the recovery partition to dynamic then a recovery will not work.
Did you make a recovery disk set or a usb recovery media flash disk?

I try with same method to recovery bios with pen drive but without solution.

Try reviewing this post to see if any of the information in it helps you as this case sounds very similar. The thread also has a link to a YouTube video that worked for someone.
http://goo.gl/bVrAD
Also, did you try the two methods in this document exactly as they are outlined? As long as there is no underlying hardware issue, it should work.
http://goo.gl/WQb43
You mentioned you tried the pen drive method and it did not work. What exactly did not work about it? Any error messages? What were the exact steps taken?

Hp pavilion dv6-2150us system variables - drivers, etc,

I did a windows easy transer, of files from an old Acer amd 32x system to my Pavilion. Not sure how this happened, but when i did a reboot my drivers, system variables and a number of programs got their setup, load instructions all crossed with data from both systems. I tried doing system restore to last date before this occured. Did not fix. Right now I am showing an AMD 64 Architecture. I now show 2 sets of IE 32 & 64, a number of my programs will not run. Is there anyway to fix without having to do a complete factory reset? I do not want to have to complete a full setup all over again. Thanks

Sorry, am unable to accept your answer. I have gone into my system and did the drudgery of digging out all the bad keys from registry. It is not perfectly fixed yet, but better than having to reset to factory settings. Thanks for the answer I knew not to be true. But, I am not a programmer just a hobiest. BrianMrstenter wrote:

HP Pavilion DV6 Model: 3307sz Recovery Disk Missing

Hi
My notebook recovery disks are missing. How can i download the recovery disk?
Awaiting For Solution
Praveen

Uh....
Sorry but your model doesn't have reocvery disk to order yet.
What you could do is to use a backup software or the preinstalled microsoft backup tool to do a partition like C drive backup.
When your system fails, you could restore it without starting over with factory defult and all that stuff.
Sorry because of different timezone I might not be able to help/reply you right away.IF that happens I deeply apologize!

HP Pavilion dv6-6100 se recovery kit

Please I bought my Laptop from Dubai, and its warranty has expired, I can't order a recovery kit niether from US nor Middle East, The option of the recovery kit or recovery disc is not available in the middle east site, and the product itself is not recognized in the US site, please help me ordering a recovery kit for my laptop.

As the computer was purchased in Dubai, you will have to contact HP in that country / region to purchase HP Recovery Media. HP Recovery Media will not be available in the US and can't be sent to the US by HP. Please contact official HP Customer Support in the country / region was purchased in, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to see if HP Recovery Media is available. You will need to supply a local address of a friend or relative and have them ship you the recovery media. Software may not be covered by the warranty and there may be a charge for the HP Recovery Media.
Alternatively, if you can still read the 25-digit Windows product key on the Microsoft COA affixed to the bottom the computer, you can install Windows 7 using this key. Please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instructions on how to download Windows 7, create the installation media, and install Windows 7 using the 25-digit product key from the Microsoft COA on your computer. Using this method will not install any HP customizations or value-added software and you will have to manually install all needed drivers.

HP pavilion dv6 restoration incomplete after recovery

I recently try to facotry reset my Hp pavilion dv6 using the recovery usb I make with the HP program when I brought this laptop, but it said "restoration incomplete".
I have ran the hard drive check and mem test at the BIOS and there isnt any problem. I also did a full format on the hard drive and it works. So I dont think there are any bad sector on hard drive.
I did factory reset, miniimze windows install...all the option I can had on the recovery problem but It doesnt work.
Once It finish the installation and laptop is restart, it automatically boot into the HP recovery program and said "restoration incomplete".
I am wondering how can I find my license product key so I can install a windows 7 or any other solution?
Thank you

Sorry no solution for you but I to have a DV6 that no longer allows the DVD drive, bluetooth, web cam, wi-di and probably a load of other things to work to work. I've never been able to make back ups of my settings so like you want to start again. Please HP answer this question as I'd love to try Windows 7 also. P.s. never had so much trouble with a laptop!!!! Runs hot, can't system restore, can't use the simple things I'm used to on any other laptop!!

HP Pavilion dv6 System Recovery disabled

I bought my HP Pavilion dv6 notebook (running Windows 7) about 2 and a half years back.
It worked beautifully for about an year and a half after which issues began to crop up. First, it was my battery that gave up (I operate it on direct power now with battery backup of around 5 minutes), then there were blue screen errors and the machine getting hot around the bottom left at times (mostly when I ran games). I still continued to use it without taking it to the techician. After a couple more months the DVD drive stopped working for no reason (it opens and closes but does not read the disks).
I had it last week when the machine's fan (I guess it's the fan) started making loud grinding noises. The noises get louder when I'm on the internet. The technician took it down and gave the fan a proper vacuum but the noise persists.
Also, the system has slowed down due to virus attacks (I suppose). There are weird advertisements on this laptop when I run sites like youtube and google. These ads that don't appear on my other laptop. Some sites take an awful lot longer to load (mostly on Google Chrome). The system also, at times, just stops responding and I have to directly switch it off without properly shutting it down.
Now, with some help from forums here I decided to run the 'System Recovery' but it displays the following message:
"Restore your computer to it's original factory condition (Disabled : Please use Recovery Media to recover your system)." I was given no disks for recovery at the time of purchase not that it would have been of any use as my DVD drive no longer works.
With some online help I also ran Hard drive and Memory tests. The Hard Drive test gives the error: "hard disk 1 quick (303)." I gather that means, my hard disk is dying a slow death now.
Now my system has ran down it's warranty and nothing seems to work. The machine seems to be in a tangle, what do I do?
I somehow would love to factory reset my laptop without an external drive. Is that Possible? What am I looking at?

I understand the problem. HERE is a thread that gives the best possible solution for the same situation.

Hp pavilion dv6 recovery system with win 7 dvd image not found

Hello everyone, I have a hp pavilion dv6 I going to restore the operating system win 7 that I previously saved in an image of the system in 2 DVDs. I need to restore the entire computer because I do not want to lose all installations made within a year , including software installations regularly purchased online which do not have the original CDs . I tried to go in :
1 - "Backup and Restore Computer"
2 - Control Panel and select the " Restore system settings or your computer "
3 - then " advanced recovery methods "
4 - next page select " Use a system image you created earlier to recover your computer "
5 - At this point it asks me to do a backup, but I do not care because the computer is pretty much with the factory settings as has just returned from assistance hp and after ignoring the message I restart the computer in recovery mode expecting to reinstall the system with the image .
After a series of steps at the time to reload the image from the second DVD that I had previously saved , the computer can not find even one image to be restored where am I wrong?
Thanks Acitano

Had the C partition been split/shrunk to form a new partition previously?
Does disk management show the HDD as basic or dynamic? (Start>Right-click Computer>Manage>disk management on the left).
If it has been switched to dynamic (Windows does this automatically when more than 4 partitions are present on the disk), then the F11 recovery partition won't function until it is restored to basic, but I would like to confirm that is the scenario before providing those steps.
The Disk management shows that my HDD as Dynamic, what should i do then if this is the case and the possible solution to my problem?
please help me & Thank you for your time,
This question was solved.

If you have more than 4 partitions you will need to delete the extra partition/partitions, then convert the hdd back to Basic.
