Hello @jdreller69 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your notebook has paused during a system recovery and is displaying a command prompt with a blinking cursor. There is nothing that should be typed in this command prompt as the recovery is nearly fully automated after starting.
Sometimes installers will open command prompt to automatically process commands to copy files to the hard drive, it's not uncommon to see them blinking open and closed during an install or uninstall.
Can you see if there is anything hiding behind the screen that may be waiting for some user input such as a next or confirm button?
If not and the screen has been open for an extended period (over 1 hour) I would suggest shutting down the notebook and attempting to boot it up normally. If the notebook does not boot, re-run the recovery.
Let me know if that works.

Missing Dragon - X1 back from lenovo after a full factory recovery

I just got my X1 back from lenovo after a full factory recovery (they had to replace my system board).
As you can see, I have the new X1, and yet Dragon is missing (it is factory pre-load at this stage, all the lenovo preloaded apps included except for Dragon).
Can anybody help me please?
I have seen many other posts resolved but those involved Lenovo staff sending information offline, so the posts do not help at all.
Solved!

HP Recovery Manager only shows a black screen when opened on dv6t

I just recently got a HP Pavilion dv6t-6c00 notebook and I tried to create my set of recovery discs, which I've already been having trouble with because I don't have the right brand of DVDs. I still haven't completed the process of making all 5 recovery discs. When I try to open the HP Recovery Manager to continue the process, it opens but only a black screen comes up that says "Welcome to HP Recovery Manager. Use this tool to get your computer back up and running if it ever stops running as usual." It won't let continue making the recovery discs, or do anything for that matter. I've tried running in safe mode and starting the program, but the same thing happens.

Hello msorr21. Before I can thoroughly assist you, I need to ask a few questions:
What is the exact model number of the computer? If you are unsure, reference this link to show you how to find it: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00033108
What Operating System do you have?
Could you give a little more detail on the issue you are experiencing?
Please respond as soon as possible. I'm only here to help!

After installing iOS7 update ipad sought passcode disabled restore dead! Now what?

After installing iOS7 update my ipad magically wanted a passcode to open. I tried several of my usual passwords but none worked and it disabled for increasing lengths of time. Eventually after reading up a bit about it I strated to restore it to factory settings but was interupted your this process and was unable to complete it fully (to be honest I'm not keen to do this anyway as I don't want to lose all my data - photos, and fail to see why I should simply becasue of a bug in iOS7). Now my ipad is totally dead and will not respond to anything. What can I do now?

It is still not working. I have had Apple support on the phone twice as each time I get through the restore process it comes up with an unexplained error (3194) which they keep telling me is because I have a firewall preventing it from happening. This is wrong because I have removed the firewall and it still comes up with the error message and will not restore. I now have to take it to the guys I have had look at my computers from time to time to sort it out (presumabley at my cost). If and or when it gets to the point to restore, yes I can restore from iCloud an should get all my data ok but I shouldn't really have to go through all this drama as the iPad is only very new and still under all of it's warranties etc Completely unimpressed with this whole thing.

Fresh install after CC Cleaner Flash is not the latest version... now what?

I uninstalled CC, ran cleaner, restarted, reinstalled and Flash is not up to date. I don't have the HTML 5 options I see in the what's new docs. What can I do to force this update?

Updates is greyed out. I know there is an update to the one I have though... my coworkers have it. The first line of "New Document" dialog box should read something like "New HTML 5 canvas..." then a space then New Flash file etc... I don't have that option.

License error 150:30 Downloaded license recovery, the app doesn't response. Now what?

Recently had to recover mac from Time Machine … all good.
Now can't start Photoshop Elements 8.0. Receiving message:
"Licensing for this product has stopped working. ….. Error 150:30"
Successfully downloaded License Recovery app package from Adobe website. When I launch the License Recovery app nothing happens and it is not responding.
Unsure what to do to resolve this.

Migrating Adobe applications from one system to another does not work. You need to install using installation files. If you do not have access to the disks then you might be able to download thru the following page (depends what you need).
Download and Installation Help -
https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
You will need the serial number from the disk packaging to activate the installed files. You might be able to find this thru your Adobe account online if you registered the software previously.

Can't install itunes on XP after factory recovery

hi everybody,
This is a bizarre issue that became a problem. on a t500 after a xp factory recovery, update OS, install normal app, office, qbooks, etc.. I download iTunes 8 last version, double click to install and the first weird sign was a message to run but said “unknown publisher “ after click run, nothing happens. It won’t do anything. It won’t log anything on system or app logs. User has admin local priv, I tried install on local comp, safe mode, different local user, domain admin. Nothing. Last thing I tried was download iTunes version 7 and it did install, but I need the 8 because prior library setup.
Does anybody have a clue?? Is driving me crazy.
Thanks a lot.

Welcome to lenovo user forums!
Have you tried the in place upgrade functionality of itunes?Make sure that you select only itunes from the "available updates " list.
Otherwise it will also install safari

After factory recovery HDD is only partly recognized

Hi,
Could someone please help?
After a full factory recovery my Pavilion dv7 netbook does not recognizes its HDD well. It shows the hdd's size is only 92GB instead of 931GB. Check shows everything is Ok. Attached a screenshot below. Any idea why is that and how to fix it?
Thanks a lot.
Solved. Cheers.

it might be worth checking to see if the ipoddriver.kext has gone skunky on your Mac. for some more info about the symptoms of that, see:

iTunes: No Photos or Videos tab in the iPod preferences pane in Mac OS X
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X

Factory recovery dvds will not work. hp g62t vu636av

windows 7 home premium 64bit
it's been so long i dont remember how/when this started. it was either a windows update or a hp total care update, after the update my computer would load the hp logo bios screen then would either say boot mgr missing or no bootable device. i got out my factory recovery dvds and ran them. it would read the disksload the files but when writing them onto the hdd it would stop at 12% i tried it a number of times with the same result. then i found a win7 disk of the same release, loaded a fresh copy of win 7 and it worked great. then my computer did a few updates and the exact same thing happened, no bootable device, etc. called hp customer care. they decided i needed new recovery media. did not work. same 12% result. hp decided it was a hdd issue. they sent me a new hard drive, and new recovery media. same 12% result with new hard drive and new recovery media. i have no idea what to do now. help.

If all has been replaced except the system board then it is time to contact warranty services again.

Recovery Manager Asking for 5 Disks! HP G56-118CA

Hi. Hopefully someone can help me.
To replace a corrupted HD, I did the following:
1) I created the factory installed Win 7 resore disks (4 in total).
2) Wiped my drives (not formatted, but wiped) for disposal security.
3) Replaced old HD with new HD of same capacity.
4) Started restore process. After formating +/- 82%, the Recovery Manager ejected disk #4 and asked for disk #5.
I don't have a disk number #5 ! What has happened and how can I fix this?
(After reading the boards, I checked out the ordering disks from HP option for my model. The recovery disk set is also 4 disks.)
Thanks very much for your advice and help!
This question was solved.

I understand that you only had four recovery disks created from the system, but the recovery asks for a fifth disk.
Is it asking for disk 5 or a supplemental disk? In any case, the disks you made are not working and there is no way to alter the files that are actually on that disk to change what it asks for at the end of the disk.
I suspect the best option would be to contact HP to have a set of factory recovery disks sent to you. These disks would be made for this system specifically and should work without any issue. Granted, the system made disks should work as well but some issues with them can arise. In some cases where the user created disks are not working, you may get them sent at no additional cost. I will note that I cannot guarantee they will be at no additional cost. In the U.S., they typically run $15-$20 USD.

HP 550 Notebook Only Booting To Recovery Manager

HP 550 Notebook / Core 2 Duo T5670 1.8GHz / Vista Home Premium
I switched on my laptop this evening, but got an unusual black screen with a white 'windows is loading files' message at the bottom. This was then followed with the familiar 'microsoft corporation' black screen with the green bars moving left to right, before a HP Recovery Manager (1,0,1,3) screen loads.
If I click on [next], I am taken through to the next screen, but I don't really want to restore as I will lose all my files. However, if I click on [cancel] the screen goes black and switches off.
Is there anyway I can get windows to boot even if only to transfer any important files I have stored?

Theres no issue with the mother board. It's the activation lock look at the link I provided.
There is nothing you or Apple can do without the previous owners icloud information.

How to recover HP recovery manager after replacing a new hard drive

Recently i've got alot of BSOD saying Bad_System_Configuration_Info, and i ran a hp start up test and my hard drive failed the short DST test, so i searched online and it says that it means my hard drive is failing.
im planning to buy a new hard disk. i dont have a windows disk to recover my windows 7, so i wanted to copy the hp recovery partion from the old drive to the new one. i dont know how to do it, i wonder if anyone knows. i dont have any recovery disks and i dont think i can order one so i want to restore my new hdd without using disks and using my old hdd`s recovery manager from hp
i bought the computer in US but i moved to china so im assuming that i will buy a new HDD that is not from Hp ? i dont know if this will still work cause i hear that it has to be HDD from hp to work

Hi,
Here's an alternative option you can use.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook - ie Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
