Can,t boot into recovery

I bought HP Pavilion g6-1240se Notebook PC about a month ago it had windows 7 home basic x64 installed on it
I upgraded the OS to windows 7 ultimate but something went wrong so i decide to recover it to the original factory condition but recovery manager said that option is disabled (that is when i launch recovery manager from windows) so i decided to do the recovery by pressing F11 on startup but i got this error message:
file: /boot/BDC
status: 0xc0000225
info: an error occured when trying to read boot cofiguration
so is there any chance we can fix that knowing that i still got the recovery partition on my hard drive and unfortunatly i didn't makr a recovery media before i upgrade the system
looking forward for your help

Hi,
The following assumes you still have a 64bit version of Windows 7.
If you don't already have one, use another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD.  Download the ISO from the link below.
Windows 7 64bit
You should use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  Once created, or if you already have this, insert the Rescue CD into the notebook and restart to boot from it.  Select Repair Your Computer and choose the Command Prompt.  When this loads, enter the following commands and hit enter after each one - include spaces as shown.
Bootrec.exe
bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
c:
cd boot
attrib bcd -s -h -r
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /RebuildBcd
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
Remove the Rescue CD restart the notebook and see if you can now launch Recovery Manager using f11.

  • Mountain Lion only boots into Recovery mode after using iCould lock

    Hi everyone!
    I have searched the forums for hours now, but I can't seen to find an answer to my question, so I'd like to ask it.
    Recently my system partition failed due to frequent kernel panics caused by a cable in the screen I think. The kernel panics still occur, but I don't know what to do with them.
    I managed to save my files and reinstall my osx, which is Snow Leopard (the disc came with the computer). Then I wanted to install my purchased copy of Lion through Appstore, but it said it's no longer available in my country and I couldn't download it again.
    Then I decided to buy a copy of Mountain Lion which I tried to install. I managed to do it, and I tried to explore my new operation system.
    I tried the iCloud app as well, including the Lock. It locked the computer, and rebooted, but ever since I couldn't unlock it.
    When it asks for the password I enter it and it accepts it, but doesn't unlock, only lets me into Recovery mode. Now I reinstalled the whole thing over again and when the Mountain Lion install finishes, it only boots into the Recovery HD without asking.
    So if I reboot my computer, no matter what I do it only boots into Recovery Mode.
    Please help!!
    Mike

    I was afraid the Apple Store wasn't going to be an option.
    Based on your previous post, I was under the impression you could download Mountain Lion, but when you installed it, it locked up again. Not true?
    I don't know how to remove it. You can try contacting Apple support through the link below to see if they can help you get this unlocked.

  • Mac keeps booting into Recovery mode

    HI,
    my macbook pro mid 2009 keeps booting into recovery mode,
    if I select primary disk in recovery mode or at boot holding shift it quickly showes crossed out circle instead of an apple at boot screen than boots into recovery mode  again.
    I have repair permessions, repaired disk (no errors) and reset pram but no luck.
    Is there anything alse I can try?
    Thank you.

    Looks like some files might be damaged. You will likely have to reinstall the operating system. I hope you have a back up of your data.

  • Can't boot from Recovery or USB Install Drive

    Hi Folks,
    My (mid-2011) MacBook Pro [Mavericks (10.9)] is not booting up – not matter what I try.
    I've tried booting into Recovery (using command-R), Internet Recovery, and tonight I finally created a bootable USB install drive – no luck there either (pressing option to get to the startup disk manager). I can select which drive I want to boot from, but after selecting the USB drive and clicking on the arrow, I get to the gray apple screen (with the spinning progress wheel), and then it just stalls on a blank light gray screen (and the fans spin up). I've waited up to 45 minutes in this state, still nothing.
    The same thing happens when I try to boot normally. I have Filevault 2 enabled, so I get to the user account screen – but after selecting my account, the machine goes from the gray apple startup screen to the blank gray screen and hangs.
    I've tried resetting the NVRAM, booting from an install CD, etc., etc., and nada.
    Does anyone have any advice where to go from here? I had hoped the USB install drive would be the answer, but for whatever reason, I'm simply having no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated – this is my main rig and I can't afford to have it down for much longer…
    Thanks so much!

    What install "CD"?? (sure it's not a DVD disc) did you try.
    Not sure it is related to the Filevault system but if you can't get the Recovery HD partition to boot that may be caused by having Filevault enabled.
    Have you tried the Real Online Internet Recovery system? Hold down the Command + Option/Alt + r keys at startup and keep holding them down until you see a globe on the screen. If after you see the globe, or you never get a globe on the screen, and you get that same Grey color on the screen then you more than likely have a hardware problem. You should make an Appointment with your local Apple store Genius Bar for your Mac to be properly diagnosed.

  • Booting into recovery endlessly

    Hi everyone, in a pickle. HP 6v1323 laptop needed reformatting so went ahead and used recovery. After several hours it told me it failed! As l had set the recovery partition to boot first to get it to work, l am now locked into this eternal loop l cant get out of. Each time l reboot, it goes straight to recovery. Have tried recovery several times. No recovery disks but know l can get some. Would they work? Any way to get it to boot back to ordinary drive? Thanks in advance :-)

    Problem fixed! Went into bios and reset to default setup and also ran the drive check (don't know official name :-)) Altered boot sequence too. Still booted into recovery so l decided to run it one last time and it worked. Yah.... Happy, happy....and probably very lucky. Will be making recovery disks NOW.

  • Can't boot into anything after EasyBCD's "Write MBR"

    After upgrading my windows 8.1 install to windows 10 about a week ago (week ago), I decided that I no longer wanted the Windows/Ubuntu dual boot I had setup. So, in an attempt to delete GRUB and set the bootloader back to the windows bootloader, I downloaded EasyBCD and fiddled with it a bit before finding the "Write MBR" option. I figured that would allow me to boot directly into windows, or at least delete Ubuntu's GRUB Bootloader, so I could use one of my many windows install DVD's to set the bootloader to a windows one. Unfortunately, I'm an idiot, and after doing that, I can't boot into anything. I've tried everything I could think of or find on Google to get it to boot into absolutely ANYTHING. I've tried boot into every one of the boot options, including the main boot menu, but none of them load. instead, it shows me a loading screen that displays some mobo info as if it were loading a boot option I selected, but it hangs there. Maybe it was just taking its sweet little time right? Wrong! I let it sit for hours, still nothin'. HP has a "solution" where you hold the windows key + B for one second as you start up the pc, and it should start a bios recovery. Feeling hopeless, I tried it, hoping that it would do SOMETHING. Of course, it didn't boot into that either. Just a black screen. Finally, I learned that sometimes problems like this could be cause by hardware issues, and a lot of the times its the hard drive. I highly doubted that it was a hardware issue seeing as I bought this PC late last year (around November or December of 2014) but I removed the hard drive just in case and started my computer. Same result. FML. Can someone, anyone, help this poor idiot get his baby up and running again? I don't have the money or the confidence in their abilities to give it to Geek Squad or anyone else for that matter and let them have a go at it, so i'm depending on the internet ((

    but if my PC's bootloader or something related is messed up, can the neosmart forums actually help?not trying to be rude or anything, i'm genuinely curious. you see, i cant really load anything, including any recovery disks or USB's, which is why i was hoping that there would be some sort of HP utility that could help me restore my PC back to its previous state. i'll still ask the neosmart forums though. i'm pretty desperate to fix my PC at this point!

  • HP Pavilion 14-n020se Dosent boot into recovery

    So, I have the troublesome laptop (Model typed above). So I found a Single Language ISO of windows 8.1. And I installed it and Activated it. I booted into recovery once and then I did minimized system recovery. It did not work. And I kept getting BSOD. So I reinstalled Windows 8.1 again. Then I got a TDC-SDV (File). After that, I could not boot into recovery. Even after I kept pressing F11. It kept on booting into the normal OS. And trying to make my Recovery Partition Active is no choice for me. Because in Disk Management, I right click the recovery partition and I get no option but help. And in Disk Management I get two Recovery Drives. When I use command Propmt, It says that "The selected disk is not a fixed MBR Disk. The ACTIVE command can only be used on a fixed MBR disks." How do I boot into recovery? And if possible and anyone give me a copy of Windows 8 Pro? My father won't let me download from Microsoft upgrade product key only Software for some reason. And I can't find it anywhere on the Web.

  • OS X Lion 10.8.2 won't boot into recovery mode

    Help! OS X Lion 10.8.2 won't boot into recovery mode, I get a grey screen, the apple icon and the spinning symbol...Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Have a MacBook Pro (2009) and had no problems until upgrading to LIon from Snow Leopard... thanks!

    Hi there - thanks very much for your suggestion, it did reboot eventually but took a long time to get there.
    I've have run Disk Utility. After Verifying the disk it said it needed Repairing - so tried doing that and got the message " Error: Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files" I have got Time Machine but haven't backed-up since Dec 12...Can I use "Restore" to copy the MBP HD to an external HD and then re-install Lion?

  • How do I boot into recovery mode with wireless keyboard

    I am unable to boot into recovery mode using either cmd-R or holding down the alt key. How is it supposed to work?
    Message was edited by: Niklas Brunberg (better title)

    I understand your concerns - I'm glad both of my machines are dual bootable (just in case) and I have my Snow Leopard install disks..... However, this is what Apple has decided, so we need to find the best way to deal with it. Personally, I've tested the recovery mode several times and, at least on my machine, it was not reliable (i.e. it wouldn't work - I tried it again and it did, but it spent more than an hour downloading the entire 4 GB installer again and then another 30 minutes installing it), and on a third try, I found that it had vanished because I had cloned by drive. When you clone, only your system is cloned, not the extra partition.
    So, I've decided to rely on a) my bootable clones and b) a copy of the installer (.dmg) in case my clones fail. I don't feel comfortable relying on something that requires an internet connection and a full download to work. But, that works for me; you may want to take a different approach.

  • Windows 7 Installation Media Only Boots into Recovery

    Ever since I've updated to Windows 8, I have been really pleased. Everything works fine but when I was automatically updated to windows 8.1, I wasn't happy. I mostly use my PC for gaming and emulating my favourite classic game consoles. But windows 8.1 either
    doesn't allow games to play, and makes my emulators run at 15 FPS (normally they run at 55-60). And now, I cant install Graphics drivers! I used to be able to on windows 8. 8.1 will not let me run any of my old Windows 7 Apps either,
    So, after spending hours backing up my date, ready to start a fresh windows 7 installation, I figured out that I cannot upgrade, or even start the installation from the USB drive!
    I had lots of issues with Windows Vista and used the same installation media to fix the OS. Now, the installation ONLY boots into recovery mode!
    Luckily, I use Debian KDE on the side, So I am able to use my computer, but not play any games.
    Is there any way to have the installation media boot into Win7 Setup?

    Hi,
    Could you provide with a screen shoot?
    Please test the USB drive in another pc.
    If it is the same issue, it would be caused by the USB  drive.
    And then follow the steps to create a bootable USB drive.

  • Can't boot into Windows 8.1 partition after apple store repair

    Can't boot into Windows 8.1 partition after apple store repair
    I went to the apple store about a week ago to get my screen fixed, and when I get it back I don't have an option to boot into my windows partition. The bootcamp partition is still there, but I can't boot into it. I can still see all of the files on the drive. When I try to boot into windows from the startup disc setting I get "no bootable device — insert boot disk and press any key” on a black screen. I went in for a dead pixel, and the guy at the genius bar ran something on my computer and went into disk utility application. I’m not sure what he was doing, but obviously that’s what messed up my windows partition. How can I be able to boot back into windows? Here's what disk utility looks like on my computer.

    Here's the output

    Hi,
    If you don't already have one, use another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD.  Download the relevant ISO from the links below.
    Windows 7 32bit
    Windows 7 64bit
    You should use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  Once created, or if you already have this, tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.  Insert the Rescue CD.  Select Boot options ( usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter.  You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue' - do this if asked.
    When loaded, select Repair Your Computer and choose the Command Prompt.  When this loads, enter the following commands and hit enter after each one - include spaces as shown.
    Bootrec.exe
    bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
    c:
    cd boot
    attrib bcd -s -h -r
    ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
    bootrec /RebuildBcd
    bootrec /fixmbr
    bootrec /fixboot
    Remove the Rescue CD and try rebooting the notebook.

  • Can't boot into windows 7 anymore......

    Hi all, I have a Mac mini late 2012 with windows7 installed through bootcamp5. It has worked flawless until recently, now I can't boot into windows anymore. I've checked in finder and the bootcamp partition is present and also all the files. Before that, I did have some trouble with my LaCie 2big thunderbolt hdd, it kept on saying I had to reformat one of the discs in the drive, but only when used in windows, in OSX there was/are no problems reading the hdd .......
    Any idea of how I can make windows bootable again?, do I really have to make a fresh install of windows to make it work??
    Any help is very much appreciated
