  • How can I create the recovery discs for my AIO computer? (For Windows 7 systems)

    Q.: How can I create the recovery discs for my MSI laptop/AIO computer? (For Windows 7 systems)
    A.:
    1. Locate the "MSI BurnRecovery" shortcut on your desktop or start menu. Run this program. (Note: If UAC is enabled, press "Yes" to allow the program to run.
    2. MSI BurnRecovery will prepare the files. This process may take a few minutes.
    3. Click on "Next" to continue.
    4. Click on "Advanced".
    5. Click on "Create an ISO file for the recovery disc".
    6. Select the destination where you want to create the ISO files. (Default is the D: drive)
    7. The program will now create the ISO files. This process may take up to 20 minutes.
    8. Click on "Finish". Make sure the box is unchecked.
    9. Browse to the location of the ISO files. Double-click the recovery_dvd file. (Note: Depending on your system, you will have 1-3 recovery_dvd files)
    10. Insert a blank DVD (If the AutoPlay window pops-up, close it). Click on "Burn". It is also recommended to check the box to verify disc after burning.
    11. After burn is complete, click on "Close".
    12. Double-click the recovery_dvd2 file.
    13. Insert a blank DVD (If the AutoPlay window pops-up, close it). Click on "Burn". It is also recommended to check the box to verify disc after burning.
    14. After burn is complete, click on "Close". Recovery disc creation is now complete. (You can also delete the ISO files, but it is recommended to keep them)

  • Windows 8 Pro (OEM Activation required) operating system recovery disc

    We bought a Thinkcentre M72Z PC with a windows 7 downgrade.  The PC came with the Windows 8 Pro (OEM Activation required) operating system recovery disc but I cannot load Windows 8 from it.  Does anyone know what steps I have to take to use this disc?  It says the media is provided for recovery purposes, but it is not like an install disc.

    First, the discs that you have do not include Windows, so you are stopped right there. What you had in mind might have worked, but the first thumbdrive has to be made bootable before copying the files on the disc to the thumbdrive.
    Have you tried going into Windows and change the language it uses? I am not sure if installing the language pack is all you need to do. I believe it will only get you part way.

  • System Recovery disc - How to create without floppy drive?

    I am trying to create a "system recovery disc" as part of the TOSSHIBA ASSIST (protect and fix section).
    However before I proceed, I noted that it prompts for a "floppy" to create a recovery disc but as this model does not have this facility can the data be saved to CD. I did not want to get all through the procedure and find I could not finish it due to no floppy drive!
    Or alternatively should I just use the product recovery DVD-Rom that came with the laptop in the event of a problem...not sure if this would hold the same data?
    Any help appreciated!

    Hello again
    The recovery DVD and Tools & Utilities CD are two different things.
    The recovery DVD that you got with your unit contains just an image. This image contains operating system, all necessary drivers, tools and different utilities. Like you know the Qosmio is pretty complicated unit and installation is not easy. Because of that Toshiba software department has created this image and on this way everybody (experienced and also non-experienced) users can be able to install the unit in very short time. If the unit is preinstalled with recovery CD it is not necessary to install any driver or other stuff.
    Just restart the unit and have the fun. If some user wants to install own operating system they need to install all drivers, tools and utilities separately. Before all this stuff must be downloaded from Toshiba download page everyone can create own Drivers and tools CD and use it every time.
    If you have more questions please write again.
    Bye

    Hi:
    If the HP Recovery Manager came installed with your other programs, there should be an option to create recovery disks.
    If you don't have this program, then you may be able to order a set of recovery disks from HP for your notebook.
    Call HP Technical Support for the country you live in at the link below.  If they have a separate number for business PC's/notebooks, call that number.
    Inform the customer services rep you need to order a set of quick restore disks for your notebook.
    You will need to provide the model number and serial number.
    Costs range from free in the UK, to $10 in the USA, to more than $10 in other countries.

  • How can I get system recovery discs (mailed and/or burned from laptop)?

    I have a family member who is in another state and has a Toshiba C855D-S5100. It is just under 1yr old and is having some issues booting up. She got it from Best Buy and took it to them yesterday. They are currently running a full diagnostic scan and will let us know what the problem is sometime today (virus, bad drive, bad memory, etc.).
    In the meantime, it made me think that we may want to create some recovery discs (if we can). I did this with an older Gateway. It required 4 DVDs. Can this be done with this model? If so, how as it has Windows 8 and I am not real familiar with this operating system just yet.
    If the test comes back and says the hard drive is the issue, the unit will be sent to Toshiba for repair (since there is 2 weeks left on warranty). In addition to trying to create some recovery discs, can we maybe somehow order the actual recovery discs from Toshiba directly (& keep for future purposes if the hard drive fails and gets replaced)? If so, how and where do we go to get these Toshiba recovery discs sent to us?

    The full Specifications for that machine are HERE.
    See the User's Guide starting on page 55 for instructions on "Creating Recovery Media" yourself.
    You can order Recovery Media from HERE. (Scroll down).

  • Hp g5000 system recovery disc fails 1002

    Hi
    My frends daughter took the hp laptop to america and subsequently the hard disc failed so with no recovery disc she went to a repair center and had a new hard disc fitted.
    i ordered the system recovery disc from best2serve but the laptop would not boot from it?
    I tried the disc in my HP Desktop and it worked fine so DVD player is suspect also.
    I then tried my Dell Vista recovery disc from my C521 desktop and that worked fine.
    If i then mounted the recovery disc it looked fine and i could read all the contents Strange Just cant boot from it.
    Anyway downloaded the HP Bios update in case that would fix it (no good still would not boot)
    so went back to my Desktop and built a USB Bootable flash drive with contents of Recovery disc
    It booted fine and started recovery Manager selected rebuild Hard disc (cant remember exact words)
    and shortly after failed error 1002 contact HP
    have searched error 1002 and WoW wish i had just not wasted time buying the recovery disc as endless calls all say They do not work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    ps It also destroyed the working Dell Vista that was on
    can anyone suggest where to start
    1) to Install Genuine HP recovery image from recovery disc (with suspect dvd)
    2) get money back if possible
    3) ps AS USUAL OUT OF WARRANTY
    This question was solved.

    More on this saga,
    the 120 gig drive replaced by 250 gig after first disk failed.
    Purchased another dvd drive as could nor read HP recovery dvd (neither would work)
    the second drive has exactly the same problem it would not read the dvd-r or dvd+r copies that I had created.
    Wasted my money on problem that did not exist
    ( I should have known that XP and Dell Vista disks worked o/k so problem is with the Bios Firmware for this drive)
    This time I used a USB Flash copy of Windows 7 Update DVD and removed all partitions leaving a completely unformatted disk.
    Then rebuilt the USB flash drive this time with HP Recovery disk and started the recovery process. (the 1002 must mean I want a empty disk)
    As I speak it has been going for over 2 hours with FBI gui manager doing bits of updating and rebooting.
    one post says it will take 3 hours and 25 reboots ( i have lost count)
    By Chance HP rang to say how was it going with replacement DVD that was sent (I bet he wished he had not rung he spent over 1 hour waiting with not much help as to what was expected to happen)
    Told him about not being able to read DVD (solution 5 year old PC may not be able to read it!!!!!!!!!)
    any way Flash usb copy of DVD does work if that help anyone.
    One of the reboots showed PC Angel? something about recovery but as FBI GUI minimised I did nothing (dissapeared after next reboot)
    Then went into recovery Manager and said creating recovery please wait (another 1/2 hour)
    small problem ends with recovery manager said i wanted to recover and seems to have restarted the whole process again!!!!!
    urgh
    Will update if the recovery fails or works so it may benefit all

  • Creating System Restore Points in Windows Server 2012

    Searching for "Create a restore point" on Windows Server 2012, brings up a link that when clicked takes you to System Properties. Once there, there is no System Protection tab or option to create a system restore point. Windows Server Backup
    is installed and functioning.
    Is this feature available in Windows Server 2012? Was it replaced with Shadow Copies for Shared Folders?
    Thanks for any insight you can provide.

     HI,
    To create a system restore point, run msconfig.exe, that will launch a UI, click the tools tab, select system restore, that should invoke a UI which asks if you want to  restore to an earlier version or do you want to create a new restore point. I clicked
    "create a new restore point" The problem that I ran into is that when I click that button is I receive the error: can't find "C:\Windows\System32\rstrui.exe". That's the .exe which supports the "Create / restore point' processes. I
    posted a question about the missing .exe on the windows > windows 8.1 > Repair and recovery forum and was told to post it here. :>) The subject title of that post is "rstrui.exe Create a system restore point on windows server 8 Standard".
    That post documents the steps that I followed trying to create a system restore point. (FYI: I'm not trying to backup any drives. I know what a system restore point is and what backup is. They are two different animals). I want to create a restore
    point prior in order to prep for installing an App. So, If a problem occurs; the registry keys and app files can be backed out to some extent. BTW: Create system restore point on windows 8.1does work perfectly well, there's a different UI. I just didn't
    know where to post the initial problem.regards,Steve

  • W530 unable to create factory recovery disc's

    Hi all, Happy with new W530 but unable to create factory recovery discs.. Searched and found possible solutions in knowledge base and forum but none worked Until know Files for recovery media not found... (although i have two lenovo recovery partitions on SDD) Called support and they offered website to order recovery disc's (not for free???) Ok... then..filling in the necessay forms and providing all data ended up in not able to choose for Dutch language recovey disc's . How to proceed?

    In my opinion, there should be a secure way for the owner of the machine to download the images in .ISO format so you can burn them.  Of course information would need to be verified to prove you are entitled to do so, but this doesn't need to be overly complicated. 
    Don't forget you can always get a Windows 7 disk and use the serial number under your battery to install Windows from scratch.
    The only time I use the factory image disk set is if I decide to sell a machine.  I'll image it back to the factory state.  It's a pretty rare event.

    Hi
    What kind of DVDs you are using for creating a Toshiba recovery disc? As yet I have tried Verbatim DVD-R and TDK DVD-R and never had a problem with these discs. Friend of tried DVD+R and he couldnt create a recovery disc. After that he tried DVD-R and all was fine but I dont know why this happened.
    So please try other discs.
    Furthermore check the Toshiba page for a firmware update of CD/DVD drive. Maybe it will help you.

    Hello DrVikashShukla, It appears the HP Recovery Restore disk are not available now for your system.
    Here  is the link for the software/drivers for your system and it shows there are no Recovery Restore disk available.
    Most of the HP system released earlier than 2006 do not have any Recovery Restore disks available.
    You might try restoring the system, by tapping the F-11 key when the HP Logo appears, or the F-10 key. Some systens use different keys to access the HP Recovery Restore Utility.

  • System Recovery Options in Windows 7 (MBP and Parallels)

    I realize it is probably debatable (perhaps at best) if this belongs here but I have borked my Windows 7 installation on my MacBookPro running Snow Leopard and I now see this after opening Parallels and either starting or shutting down the virtual machine:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15285654/Screen%20shot%202011-11-25%20at%2011.13.16%20AM .png
    I am trying to follow some system recovery recommendations and I can't quite figure out if I need to hold down "Fn + F8" upon a Restart of the Virtual Machine - or if I should put the install Disk in and then somehow /boot/ to the CD Rom or what:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-are-the-system-recovery-options -in-Windows-7
    If anyone has any advice I'd love to fix this problem without a full re-install of Win 7.
    Thanks.

    Thanks - but I can't seem to install it! Even in compatibility mode. I get an error box telling me to check nothing else is running (...), and a message saying it has encountered error code -6003.
    Could this have something to do with me running Windows 7 x64?
    Thank you...
