System Recovery using HP recovery CDs

Hello,
This is very frustrating!.......
HP Pavillion DV6 Notebook Windows 7 Home Premium
1. PC was hacked
2.Tried to restore from recovery partition by pressing F11 and then following instructions for factory reset. It went through a lot of processes and seemed to be restoring the operating system etc. As part of the process the PC turns off and then comes back up. Then it says 'Setting up PC for first time use' (or something like this). Then get an error saying 'Error system could not be restored' (again something like this. Apologies it has been a while)
3. Looked on the net and on this forum. Worked out I needed the HP recovery disks. I ordered them from their suggested provider in Europe Best2Serve as suggested by HP(Paying another £30. Why? when I have paid for this already). Entered all the correct serial no. and model no.
4. Get the recovery DVDs a couple of weeks later. Put disk 1 in the cd drive and start the computer. It is still trying to start windows from it's previous incomplete set up from recovery partition. It does not take notice of the disk in CD drive. I hunt around more and discover that I need to change the boot order from BIOS menu. I change the order of boot disk to internal cd/dvd ROM first. I change it back to C drive afterwards.
5. Now starting the computer with DISK 1 in CD player HP recovery manage starts. I follow on screen instructions. It goes through Factory image recovery preparations. Reformats windows partition of the hard drive, copies files required for the hard drive, restores files to the hard drive. I put in disk 2 and the supplimentary CD (Application and Driver Recovery CD) when asked.
6. At the end press Continue to restart the PC. PC Restarts. Various Dos windows pop up. Then get Software is being Installed window. Everything completes normally. It finally restarts the PC. I then get a message 'THE RECOVERY ATTEMPT HAS FAILED. SELECT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING BUTTONS. SAVE LOG, DETAILS, RETRY'
7. I retry all of the above with the CD's this time not needing to change the boot order. SAME RESULT!!! The error log is below.
I am not wanting to launch a rocket into space! Just want my PC back! About to chuck the PC and never buy HP again!!!
I am moderately copmuter literate! God help the total beginner!
Can anyone help??? And thank you in advance.

Sometimes it helps to prepare the hdd with Cyberlink Utility cd first. Download and Save the file. Once download is complete, put a blank cd in your drive and click the file to create a boot cd. Boot with this cd and wait until you get a green check mark indicating hdd is ready. Remove the cd , insert first Recovery Disk and restart the laptop.

System restore using the Recovery CD on Portege M200

Hi, I want to restore my M200 using the recover DVD supplied. I have a Toshiba PA345U-1DV2 external USB DVD that came with a CD that includes drivers for DOS. The readme file in the dos driver folder is in Japanese! I've created a boot SD card using the Toshiba util and added the dos drivers to the config.sys file.
No matter what I try I cannot get the USB DVD to boot in dos and therefore read the restore DVD. I must admit this is driving me nuts. I've tried every option I can find on the net and still not luck. Can anyone help?
It seems to me that as the DVD player is Toshiba and has dos drivers it should work.

Thanks for your help, working through the various links you gave me I came across this one http://www.zipvoid.co.uk/
downloaded the file and gave it a go.
IT WORKS - its the only solution I've tried that does. Boots from a floppy, see's my USB drive and boots the recovery DVD.
Did have a go at PXE but couldn't quite get it to work - maybe with a bit more time if I have the desire. But to be frank having spent the last three day's trying to solve this problem now I've found a solution, I don't think it's that high on my list of things to do!
I guess I might be lucky as I do have a Toshiba USB drive. The drive and floppy drive I have are Toshiba PA3454U-1DV2 DVD USB Drive and Sony Vaio PCGA-UFDF USB Floppy Drive.
Thanks again for the help

After erasing drive, tried to use Internet Recovery to download a bootable system

hi
i need some help.
after erasing the drive on my macbook Air, I tried to use Internet Recovery to download a bootable system, but after going through the motions of the spinning world globe and (probably) actually downloading something (it takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour to finish) and after it restarts, it cant find any system, and subsequently gives the folder with question mark, not able to find any bootable system.
what am i doing wrong?
how can i get mountain lion on it (like before) so that i can upgrade to mavericks?
thanks

The Online Internet Recovery system, Cmd + Option/alt + r keys at startup, will give you whichever OS X version originally came on that Mac when it was shipped from the factory new. That is IF it originally came with one of the Download Only version of OS X, Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks.
If it originally came with Lion Yes you will need to buy Mt Lion from the Mac App Store or get Mavericks for Free. If it originally came with Mt Lion the newer Point version of that will be downloaded and installed.

Can I use my Recovery CD for Satellite A50 to repaire my WXP?

Dear sir/madam
I am a Student and I have a Toshiba A50 laptop. I have a system problem in my computer. when I was running an adware remover program the computer got stuck and when I tried to restart the computer, the computer starts and goes to the windows welcome screen(windows xp) and then the computer screen goes blank (or black).
When I restarted my computer it goes to this option screen where it gives, safe mode, last good configuration mode, etc.. I tried to start in safe mode, and in last good configuration mode, but nothing happened , the black screen appear after the windows welcome screen.
My friend advice me to do a windows XP repair. I have the Toshiba product Recovery CD, which I got when I purchased the laptop. My question is can I do a Windows xp repair from this CD ?
I booted my computer from this product recovery CD. It gave me 3 optons as below
1 Recover entire hard disk
Warning- all store data on your computer will be lost. Factory pre installed software will be installed/
2 Expert Recovery
Warning- this is for pc experts only. Factory pre installed software can be installed onto an existing (bootable) partition.
3 Exit
I need to recover all my files from my hard disk. That's my main concern.
So do you guys think that I can do a Windows xp repair from this product recovery CD?
Thanks
Robert

Hi Robert,
No you cannot use the recovery CD to repair your Windows installation. The Recovery CD can only be used to fully restore your operating system to its original condition when you first obtained it.
If you want to use the Windows recovery console then you will need to obtain a genuine Microsoft installation CD.
If your notebook has only one partition (the C: drive) then using the recovery CDs will effectively reformat your hard drive and will overwrite all your own data and files.
regards,

Do I need to use Toshiba Recovery Wizard?

Hi everyone!
I've been having major problems with my Toshiba since I first got it last March. I have a Toshiba Satellite L750, Windows 7, 64-bit, with 6GB of RAM.
Last December (right before finals were due -_-) my laptop just committed suicide. The hard drive totally died on me out of the blue. I got a computer-savvy friend to replace my hard drive with a new one. Everything was working fine at first, but within a week my laptop ate that hard drive up too. It was BIZARRE. I went back home for the holidays and since my laptop was still under warranty then (it's not now), Toshiba replaced my hard drive, reinstalled Windows, etc. This was in January - things were fine, but it's now May and everything is messed up again.
Basically everything takes forever to load or it doesn't load at all - desktop, taskbar, programs, internet, user accounts... sometimes Windows won't even load. Booting in Safe Mode, things work, but they still take a little longer than usual, even just logging into my user account.
I've ran CCleaner numerous times. I've tried starting up with certain programs disabled. I've ran virus scans, and this is another problem -every single time I try to run Malware Bytes, in Safe Mode and regularly, the scan ALWAYS freezes. After that, nothing else works and I have to restart the laptop. Startup Repair doesn't do anything. Neither does sfc/scannow. Also, I tried doing a System Restore, only to find that I have no restore points. It doesn't seem to be a virus - Avast is always running and hasn't found anything.
I ran a system analyzer on my laptop and this is some of the information I got:
513.0 GB of available space on system partition
Total size of hard drives is 595.6 GB
Total memory of PC is 6092 MB
-all of this is apparently "above average"
HDD speed = 58MB/second
CPU has 2 cores running at 2.29GHz
CPU temperature = 60C (140F)
I uninstalled programs I don't use and have tried physically cleaning my computer, but to no avail. Usually I can get past the startup/Windows logo screen fine, but once I get to a user account/desktop, that's when all the problems start.
Any suggestions?
Someone said to use the Toshiba Recovery Wizard/HDD Recovery, since I'm not too fussed about losing files. Do you think this will help? Would it completely wipe out Windows 7, though?
I can access the "Repair your computer" function that leads me to Toshiba Recovery Wizard... does that mean that it'll restore everything to factory settings (out-of-box) and reinstall Windows 7 automatically? I'm assuming this because I don't remember receiving any recovery disks, so I'm thinking this might be the hidden recovery partition. I don't have the Windows installation CD, so I just want to make sure I won't end up without an OS before I go ahead and try it.
I'm trying to exhaust all options because I'm a brokeass student and would prefer to not have to buy a new laptop... but if nothing can be done, then I guess I'll have to.
Thanks for reading!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks Jerry!
So do you think this will work? The fact that my laptop has eaten up 3 HDDs now kinda makes it seem like it's a hardware issue... a problem with the motherboard. I gave this laptop to Toshiba in January when I was still under warranty, and I specifically told them that this laptop goes Hannibal for hard drives -which is not normal - and that they should check if there's a hardware issue (it had eaten 2 HDDs at that point). Clearly they didn't do that, though - they just slapped in a new hard drive. If they had listened to me, then my HDD wouldn't be dying every 3, 4 months. I've accepted that I need to buy a new laptop, but I just need something to work in the meantime while I look for one (and scrounge up some cash).
Also, do you think the fact that nothing ever loads on my laptop will have an effect on the Recovery Wizard? I read that if even one thing goes wrong during the recovery process, everything will be completely lost and you can't even try the process again. Obviously I don't want that to happen!
And one more question: it's not 100% clear in the manual and that is what I originally came here to post about - will the "out-of-box" recovery process delete my OS? I have a Windows 7 sticker on my laptop, so I'm pretty sure it was pre-installed... I definitely don't have any disks with me. So even if it does work, will it reinstall Windows 7/MS Office/etc. automatically for me?
Thanks again for your help!

Need help - Error while updating the firmware of Muvo Slim using the recovery t

Hi ,
While I am trying to update my Muvo slim firmware using the recovery tool it throwd up an error. And from then onwards if I am trying to power it up it won't.
If I again try to update the firmware, it throws up the error that "Unable to Write to Device: Device Time out".
I am afraid that my Muvo slim got bricked. Can you please help me in recovering the same.
PS: My PC OS is Windows XP.
Thank & Regards
ksraghava?

On my XP system, the last time I wanted to reload the firmware, I had to remove all of my Creative software programs,?and then revert my Windows Media Player back to 0 and then use The Recovery Tool. It is a bit of a pain, but does seem to work when you are getting errors with the firmware download.
luvmyrescuedogs
Almost forgot. Make sure your player is fully charged or has a fresh battery before starting any firmware download.

Drive Recovery Using DRA on another Computer Shows No Protectors

We are rolling out a new series of laptop using MBAM 2.5 next week. We are encrypting the OS drive with 256bit encryption using MBAM GPOs and use TPM+PIN. We have also setup DRAs via GPO, which was done on our previous generation of laptops, but
without MBAM. We are able to recover a drive using the recovery password. Manage-bde -protectors -get c: on the laptop shows all the correct protectors. When I remove the disk drive and put it in a USB carrier and plug it into a similarly configured laptop
to decrypt the drive via DRA, the drive shows as unformatted and a showing of protectors for the drive lists no protectors. I don't understand. We have done this same process for several years with our previous generation of laptops. I am stumped.

You may want to check the settings configured for the policy “Choose how BitLocker-protected operating system drives can be recovered”
From Planning for MBAM 2.5 Group Policy Requirements
Suggested configuration: Not Configured
Configure this policy to enable the BitLocker data recovery agent or to save BitLocker recovery information to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
When this policy is not configured, the data recovery agent is allowed, and recovery information is not backed up to AD DS.
MBAM operation does not require recovery information to be backed up to AD DS.

I am unclear how I have to use the Recovery CD

I have added up all the space my hard disk is using it comes to about 12GB, I have 27.9 GB disk space but my disk only has 1.80 disk space left. I have done everything obvious to resolve this problem. Recycle bin is empty, I have run disk clean up.
A computer expert suggested that Windows could have become confused and cannot recognize what space I have spare, this could be because I have run a program called Cyberscrub often. His solution was to reload Windows XP home. My laptop came with recovery disks, everything else already loaded. I have so much I do not want to lose on my laptop. If I use the recovery disks, will I lose everything on my computer, am I best to buy Windows XP home and re-load, in which case will I not lose my work?
Also I am unclear how I use the recovery discs, I cannot find any instructions on what you do.
The one person who could help me has gone off traveling and not contactable.
Any help greatly appreciated
Lorraine Hart

Hello,
what kind of programs do you have on your harddisk? Maybe a little description of your System will help us further. You mentioned, that you have a Program called Cyberscrub. Is this Program showing you your diskspace? Check this out! This program is, as i know, usually intended to wipe harddisks or files.
Maybe you can try some Registry cleaner that cleanes out some information which is showing you wrong information that is corrupted by Cyberscrub. Maybe this helps.
Another suggestion: run the program "chkdsk". This program will check out your filesystem on errors. Maybe it can fix that problem. You can run this program with right-clicking on the symbol of your systemdisk, clicking on "extras" and choosing the "Checking on errors" or something like.
At all events, when this fails, then you dont have to buy a new XP Home. You dont need it because you have already one on a recovery cd, and you can solve that easily.
You have to write down which programs you have in your system and backup your important data with a backup program or just burn it to a dvd or cd. You have the option to put the whole system on a mobile Harddisk connected over USB. This means backing up your system to this harddisk.
After that, you have to boot with the recovery-cd, by pushing the "c" button at boot time.
Then you follow the instructions and reload the "factory-like-installed" Windows XP on your Harddisk. Dont forget: all your data on the system disk will be erased, and the corrupted information of the free diskspace too. After that you just put the backup of your data back to your systemdisk and reinstall the programs you noted before the re-install of your system. Then the system will be clear again.
Let me know about the activity of your problem.

Thanks Charles

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically. I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive. will that delete the windows partition too??

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto. I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system. My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too. If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

Equium A210 171 What info do i need before i use the recovery disk?

Hi,
I have 1 recovery disk that came with my equium, haven't used it before.
On the back of the recovery disk envelope it says "insert the first disk"
I'm assuming there should be a second?
Also what info will i need to provide during the install process? like serial number?
All i have is a black and white sticker that's on the side of the box it came in, but that was so long ago.
I'm having lots of issues with windows installer not running and many others,
Windows updates won't work either and i've tried to fix those but a clean reinstall of the os was recommended.
Now at this point nothing will install because windows installer won't work.
So i think i wil lhave to attempt a clean install, but i'm not even sure the cd drive will work.
I have gotten a great run out of this laptop, bit slow for my needs today but over all great product, bought in 2007.
With a clean os and 4 gigs of ram this thing could last for years more, can't afford a new one right now.
I have really tried to avoid using a recovery disk in the past, as i've never had any serious issues till now.
Thanks

Im wondering why you get such disk together with your notebook why? Because I did not get the recovery disk but I had to create one using the Toshiba Recovery disk creator software
But my notebook is newer than your A210 this might be the reason why you got such disk
I created a recovery disk and I needed two DVD disks I think these depends on the image file size
> Also what info will i need to provide during the install process? like serial number?
This is not needed because your system was already activated.
But I recommend to backup your personal data because the recovery disk would format the whole HDD and you would lose the files.
PS: recommend reading the other threads in the Product recovery forum!

Can I use a recovery disc on a new 120 GB SSD for HP Envy 17 that previously had 2 500GB RAID 0?

I currently have a HP Envy 17-2070NR. I would like to install a new SSD (120 GB) to replace one of the 500 GB HD that are currently in the laptop (the 2 drives are set up RAID 0).
If I install the new drive and remove the two old ones can I use the recovery discs to reinstall windows/drivers/default programs?

The 500GB MyBook Pro should work fine. Just be sure to use a Firewire connection (not USB) to your Mac and format the drive as Mac OS Extended - Journaled. It will come from the factory as FAT32, so you'll need to reformat it. But wait - don't reformat it until you offload the ButtonManager, FW Driver and Retrospect software. You will need the first two to install your drive.
And that's one of the reasons I stay away from the MyBook drives - they were really designed for Windows systems, not Macs. For one, they have their own FireWire drivers and I see no reason to be required to install device-specific drivers on my Mac in order to use a consumer-grade hard drive. As far as I'm concerned, that's just bad design (or, perhaps design for systems other than Macs ...).
The 500GB Lacie Big Disk did get a bunch of bad reviews. However, the 500GB Lacie d2 Extreme is the same price and has much better reviews. The Lacie d2 Extreme drives are quite reliable; I have many and not one of them has failed me over the years. The 320GB d2 Extreme is currently $140 at newegg.com. See how that compares to the price of the MyBook.

Trying to ... Restore files from MINWINPC folder using HP Recovery Manager

Please help me ... I follow all the steps (pasted below) to restore my PERSONAL files from the MINWINPC folder copied to my desktop computer (new hard drive) from an external hard drive, however it then asks me to insert disc # 171338041 !!! I don't know what disc this is or what it wants!!!! it is very frustrating. Consequently it does nothing other than ask for this disc! even after 2 hours of allowing it to scan for the files ! Reading various information sites/forums it would seem that it is asking me to insert the last disc of the series, however the backup files were all placed onto an external USB drive. and the files are in the MINWINPC folder. It appears to me that the HP Recovery Manager is not reading from the correct place! The files were backed up from my HP compaq which originally ran Widows Vista and was later ugraded to Window 7. The MINWINPC folder contains 2 files namely : Backup.1.exe and Backup.2.fbw I should be grateful for any help... Please ----　Instructions: Restoring backup files using HP Recovery ManagerTo restore backup files that you created using HP Recovery Manager, follow the steps below.Open the USB device to which you wrote your backup file, such as your USB flash drive, and then copy the MINWINPC folder to a convenient location on your computer, such as your desktop.Locate and open the MINWINPC folder on your computer, and then double-click the executable file (.exe) that was created during the backup process.note:There may be more than one file, but only one will be an application (.exe) file.

, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums. There is a way of doing a back up using a USB device but it has to be less than 32 GB. If the data is any more than that then it will become corrupted. As well the back up came from a Vista system and the backup will be looking to load back onto the same OS. By going to Windows 7 it will not find what it is looking for. You would have had to use another back up software for your data that could handle the amount and normally the best way is to plug in a USB hard drive and just drag and drop your files over. At this point you will not be able to recover your data the way you are trying. I hope this helps. Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

ORA-01124: cannot recover data file 1 - file is in use or recovery

I am trying to recover standby database, but it is giving the below error.
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01124: cannot recover data file 1 - file is in use or recovery, recovery is already stated
ORA-01110: data file 1: 'I:\ORACLE\QAS\SAPDATA1\SYSTEM_1\SYSTEM.DATA1'
when i checked in the alert log the recovery is not started. and later i hae given "alter database recover cancel' and the command end up with the below line
"media recovery not started".
it seems that the recovery has stuck in between.
please advise me how to kill the recovery session that's stuck. because i dont want to bounce the standby database.
thanks in advance.

Without dataguard and MRP, you are running a scripted standby.
In a scripted standby, a RECOVER DATABASE session would have an UNTIL clause (most likely UNTIL SEQUENCE). At the end of the recovery to that point (SEQUENCE#), it exits and shuts down the database.
Also, the scripting is such that when one RECOVER session is active, another session is not allowed to start. It may loop in wait state or exit and retry at the next scheduled interval.
Apparently your standby scripting is not robust enough to prevent another RECOVER session from starting off even as the first is active (and/or it doesn't have a proper UNTIL clause and stop, exit, shutdown actions)
What you have is a custom implementation of a standby database. Without complete details of the script, the "locking" between sessions (to prevent a second RECOVER from starting when one is already running) etc .... we really cannot do much to help you.
Your scripts should be maintaing status information . It should be possible for you to discover the "other" sqlplus session that has issued a RECOVER DATABASE but not yet exited (e.g. ... how about a simple "ps -ef |grep sql" and "ps -ef | grep ora" combination ??)
