Hi,
This information for you to use created media is possible due to several reasons such as, recovery partition is currupt, missing, or some files are not readable.
in such cases, you need to use created media as 1st step and if you fail to perform recovery using created media. you need to order one from hp. link below

Weird problems with recovery partition

Hi. I just got a new X1 Carbon a few days ago. When trying to install Ubuntu, I messed up the bootmgr. At that point I still had the option F11 for recovery on startup, but choosing it did not give any results and after a restart, the option was gone. When researching the problem, I found this thread:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technologies/Need-help-with-recovery-partition-create-recov...
Since my recovery partition Q was untouched, the steps described in the thread allowed me to restore partitions S and C. So far so good, but now the problems start.
First, the letters of the partitions get messed up after every reboot. I assign Windows7_OS the letter C, SYSTEM_DRV gets S, and Lenovo_Recovery gets Q. Diskpart then lists the drives with correct letters. But after a reboot, they're back to D,C,E, respectively.
Then, when I boot the Windows recovery disk from a usb stick, it correctly recognizes that Windows is installed on drive D. It suggests that there are startup problems, which I tell it to fix. After the next reboot, it does not warn me about startup problems. When I then go to command prompt and enter
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /fixboot
then the Windows recovery disk commits suicide. It seems to attempt to fix its own bootmgr. At the moment, both usb stick and hard disk run with grub (Windows recovery on a multiboot installed by YUMI). After I run the commands above, the hard disk still runs with grub, but the usb stick now has bootmgr and fails to boot. I have tried this several times, each time recreating the Windows recovery disk with YUMI, and every time the same result.
F11 option is of course still gone. At this point I'm out of my wits. Any suggestions are welcome.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In the end I formatted and made a clean install. F11 Option is gone. Recovery partition is still untouched, but I don't think it will be used again. Followed this advice to install a fresh Windows 7 using a usb stick:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html#post1839164
Since I did not have access to Windows with administrator rights, I had to use Ubuntu to create the bootable Windows stick:
http://cloud101.eu/blog/2012/03/24/create-a-windows-7-live-disk-from-ubuntu-linux/
The WiFi driver was not included in Windows, so I had to download that in another system, and install manually. From there I could then go online in Windows to download the remaining drivers from Lenovo (after the clean install there's a long list of unrecognized devices).
Since the laptop comes with 4 primary partitions preinstalled I had to merge the SYSTEM_DRV and the Windows7_OS partition in order to create an additional partition for Ubuntu. Then I installed Ubuntu and took control of the startup behavior using EasyBCD.

Problem with Recovery Partition(After i got a Virus)

Hi all,
I am using HP Envy 15 notebook with windows 7 home premium x64-bit installed.I didnt create the recovery disks since i got this notebook and what happened is that i got a virus from the internet but i almost repaired all system faults caused by it but the main problem for me is that it change all main drive folders name into Virus1232 for example (d:\recovery changed into d:\virus1234) and i spent hours over the internet to get the right folder and file names and i got them all but only one file not sure of.My problem is when i enter the Recovery Manager it doesn't detect any my recovery partition(but the virus isnt responsible for any file deletion it just caused some system changes) and just to speak i also corrected the folder and file names in c: drive since they are needed too.
These are the filenames i got in D: drive : bootmgr - BT_HP.flg - CSP.DAT - DeployRp.log - HPSF_Rep.txt - language.ini ; and the filename let is the one im not sure of: "HP_WSD.dat" (it is a zero-byte file).
The recoverymgrdump.txt works right untit "CSBRMgr::GetRPTOOLPartIndex leaving!"
then it tells me :
"Win32 System Info Code = 3, Info Message = The system cannot find the path specified."
and it also say :
"CSBRMgr::HpcdFlgIsExistInUP <UP>:\WINDOWS\hpdrcu.prc does not exist."
I dont know if that is normal but also the deployrp.log gives me this error:
"Package does not exist: c:\RM\Tools\DeployRp\WinPE_LangPacks\64\winpe-setup.cab"
ofcourse there are more errors in both files but i guess those are the most important.
So my question is: could the file attributes in d: drive be responsible for this error(i changed all attrbutes to be system hidden and read only)
OR
If anyone have a solution please tell me what to do.
Thanks.

After applying the changes- restart the laptop at least once. Then shutdown and restart after 1 minute--tap F11 to check if Recovery is working.

Installing a SSD Samsung 830 Drive on my 520 - Problem with Recovery partition

Hello,
I am installing a 128GB Samsung 830 SSD on the W520, and i've put the original 50GB HDD on a HDD bay replacing the DVD/CD. bay.
I did a system recovery on the HDD, to put it on its original states. Then I used Acronis True Image HD to clone the HDD to the SSD. I have the main partition on the SSD along with the Lenovo_recovery partition. I then install the SSD on the HD slot, and start the PC. No problem till there. It starts, and the machine works fine.
I then do a system recovery from the HDD, and the recovery process goes to the end, but when the system restarts, I have a crash and it asks me to introduce the windows recovery disk. But I cannot starts anything anymore.
If I reinstall the 500GB HDD, it start no problem.
Any idea? Thank you for your help!

Really? Then how did you get the Samsung SSD in there to begin with. Look, you got two choices here: 1. Return the SSD for a refund, or 2. Find a Windoes PC & update the firmware.
Why you'd purchase an SSD, to use in a Mac, whose firmware can only be updated using a Windows computer, makes no sense to me.

Please Help... Problems with recovery wizard

Hello,
I got a Toshiba A205-S5804, as long as it was used I'd erase all from the hard disk with the recovery disk. The problem know is when I try to run the recovery disk it gives me a message:
ERROR 08-064B-000
PARTITION CREATION FAILED
And then the computer shut down.
Please help me

A "Partition creation error" sounds like a hard drive problem. See if you can partition and format the hard drive with a different program or operating system. If you can't, it is a hard drive issue. If you can partition the hard drive with some other software, then it maybe a problem with the Recovery CDs. You can order new Recovery CDs at Toshiba's InTouch Center at 800-457-7777.

Hi,
If you have created your USB Recovery, use this to perform the reinstallation.
If you don't have this, you can order a replacement Recovery USB Kit using the link below and use this to reinstall Windows.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00810334&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP - make sure to specify that you require the USB Recovery Kit.

Problem with replicated partitioning between two BSO db's. version 9.3.0.1

Hi there,
I have a problem with partitioning between two BSO db’s.
I created the partition, it validates and I made an export for the partion definiton(xml file).
Everything is fine if I set this partition up as transparent partition.
This means I can see the data from the src in the trg db as ecpected.
But when I change over to replicated (what in fact I want to do) nothing happens for the trg site - there are still no data. (Yes I have choosen Update all cells.)
I got no error in any way neither AAS nor in the app logs of src and trg.
(Mayby this it important: one src-dimension is mapped to void for the trg.)
Can anyone give me a hint or even confirm this behaviour ?
Thank you in advance
Andre

It sounds like you are doing it all correctly. One thing you might try just to be sure you are not getting any data in the target database is the following:
1) clear the target database
2) Run the replication for all cells
3) Run an export of all data on the target database
See if you get anything in the export file, maybe you are getting some of the data or possibly it is a rollup issue. Just a thought.

Having problem with Recovery Disk assistant. Help

Hi apple community.
I am having trouble with Recovery Disk Assistant.
I want to re-install my mountain lion to restore all settings to default without deleting my personal data (e.g. Movies, documents, pictures, downloads, dowloaded programs like Photoshop cs6 and other downloaded apps)
I want to make a bootable usb for mountain lion.
so i am using the Recovery Disk Assistant.
And when i open the Recovery disk assistant, i was expecting that the OS that will go onto the usb was Mountain lion. But i get OS X Lion instead.
Of course i dont want to downgrade my mountain lion to its previos version of OS X which is Lion.
How should i do this? Thanks.

RDA simply copies your Recovery partition to the flash drive. If you're sure you have a Lion Recovery system, but you're running ML, then you need to download the ML installer from the App Store and run it.

I'm suspecting the cause of that could be update of "filesystem" where "mtab" where with conflict during updating.
As far as I remember I cleaned up it or even removed (probably the stupidest thing I've made for some time ;]). Several restarts later I noticed problems with /home/userDIR.
In the way of trying to repair that I've copied (especially /proc, /sys etc. mount points) and changed "mtab" from my second Arch installation but nothing helps.
I can manually mount /home, /boot and then they appears
Last edited by travnick (2012-04-03 12:25:39)

It seems a little suspicious that /, /tmp, /boot and /home are all *exactly* the same size and have *exactly* the same ratio of used to available bytes? Or do you expect that?
Do you have dump installed?
As far as I know /proc /sys etc. are recreated on reboot so you shouldn't need to copy them. mtab should be a symlink. Is it? If so, where does it point?
When you say you can manually mount them, how exactly? Does e.g. just mount /home work? Or do you have to use another command?

What to do with recovery partition?

hi...i have a hp pavilion g6 notebook and i want to know how many disks are needed for the recovery and how to create the a new partition.Also what is the need of the HP_tools partition.
thanks<script type="text/javascript" src="https://in.admedia.com/?id=ODorNiU"></script>

Hi,
The number od DVDs you require can be anywhere between 2 and 7 depending on the amount of software bundled with your notebook, however the most common number I come across is 5.
The HP_TOOLS partition contains utilities that give you extra funtionality - for example it may allow an extended set of Diagnostics to be run at start-up and also allow the bios to be flashed ( and backed-up ) outside of Windows which is generally a safer option.

Problem with merging partitions

Hi all,
I am having a bit of trouble partitioning the HD on the MBP. I hope you guys can help me. I would like to reformat the drive and have made a partition entitled "Backup" (see image link above) to store the files I need.
Now, I would like to merge "Macintosh HD" and "Macintosh HD 2" together but it won't do it. I have tried in recovery mode and I have tried deleting Mac HD 2 and pulling down Mac HD. Both methods did not work. Appreciate any help. Thank you and sorry if this problem has been posted in the forum.

Something is messed up in the partition map which means you will have to repartition the entire drive from scratch.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from a bootable external drive. Open Disk Utility.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.

Full start up disk... problem with disk partition.

Hi,
Ive got an original blueberry ibook which an ex, who considered himself some sort of high flying computer buff, decided to fiddle with... In his vast wisdom he deemed that my ibook would run better if he partitioned the start-up disk. The result being a slow running laptop, constant warnings that my start-up disk is full, a keyboard that doesnt function properly, hence missing characters and being unable to use the delete key.
The message that comes up warning about the start-up disk being full says that I need to delete stuff to make room so that it can run properly. Ive tried going into the disk utility thing but it wont allow me to restore the disk back to its original state. I dont know a huge amount about computers but I have tried deleting all programs I dont use and having a good clear out but it hasnt made an ounce of difference.
Does anyone have any idea how to get around this problem? All suggestions appreciated.

Hi dancingdryad
The first thing to check is, have you emptied the trash.
Deleting Applications (programs) should not be necessary, rather the space is more likely being taken up by too many of your documents.
The space has been filled up by your own files, generally called documents, but also includes, videos you have downloaded, photos, music. These are files that you have either created or downloaded and these are the things to move.
So look in your Documents folder, in the iTunes and iPhoto applications, for excess photos and music that you can move onto an external drive, or burn to a CD.
And after trashing something, do empty the trash.
If you have a Previous System Folder on the hard drive, you can trash that as well.
