EliteBook 8570w System Repair Disc Windows 7

Hi all,
I wanted to make a System Repair Disc of Windows on my Elitebook 8570w. This was fairly easy as Hp has a programme called Hp Recovery Disc Creator which does this for you. It gives you one opportunity to burn a Windows Disc and a Driver Disc. What HP calls the Windows Disc is the System Repair Disc.
Now, my problem is that the Windows Disc does not function properly (no idea why). When booting from the DVD the screen keeps stuck at Windows is loading files... Also when I try to run the setup file from the DVD I get error messages that say "F:\Sources\autorun.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error." and after that "The file 'autorun.dll' could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue. Error code is [0xC1]" Because I only got one shot at making the disc I can't simply make another DVD.
Then, I tried to let Windows make the System Repair Disc by itself (using Create a System Repair Disc). However, I get another error message: "The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057). Some people suggest that HP Recovery Disc Creator has "hijacked" Window's "Create a System Repair Disc" function and that's what is causing the problem. So HP does not give me a second try and it prevents Windows from giving me a second try as well! So, maybe deleting HP Recovery Disc Creator would work. However, it does not list in Programmes and Features and I can't find an uninstall file in its directory.
When trying to find a solution I came across a guide to create a bootable Windows 7 Installation USB drive (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2432-usb-windows-7-installation-key-drive-create.html). It involves copying the files from the installation disc to the USB. Step 21 details the files that are on this installation disc. They are the same as on my System Repair Disc.
So would downloading an image of the installation disc be the same as downloading an image of the System Repair Disc? (I'm downloading a file atm but not sure if it makes sence) If not, are there any other options to create a new System Repair Disc? Maybe by somehow uninstalling HP Recovery Disc Creator or by tricking it into thinking I have not yet tried to make a Windows Disc? Or can I download an image of the System Repair disc somewhere online (most links I have found are dead)?
 Please let me know if any additional information is needed! Thanks in advance!
Michael
TLDR: burned a system repair disc, disc is not working properly, HP and Windows won't let me try to burn again. Other options?
This question was solved.

Hi:
You can probably make an ISO file of the version of W7 Pro that you need from the link below.
Use one of the SP1 Media Refresh files.
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/14709-Windows-7-Digital-River-direct-links-Multiple-Languag...
Use the W7 Pro product key from the bottom of the notebook to activate the installation.
Use this tool to transfer the ISO file to a USB flash drive or DVD.  The tool will also make the file bootable.

Your other option would be to order a set of W7 recovery disks for your PC, by contacting HP for the country you live in at the link below.

  • Windows won't start and can't get system repair disc to run

    I have a toshiba A505-S6980 and suddenly windows will not load up and start.  I did get to safe mode and saw some windows files load up but safe mode doesn't really open up windows where I can do anything.  I have a System Repair Disc and the System Recovery discs I can run but I can't get to the Toshiba Recovery Wizard.  How can I get the "D" drive to open to try and use the system repair disc?

    Satellite A505-S6980
    How can I get the "D" drive to open to try and use the system repair disc?
    After you have loaded the repair disc, shut down the computer. Then power it up and press F12 to reach the boot-priority menu. Select the optical drive there.
       What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
    If you can't boot from the repair disc, there's something wrong with the hardware, the BIOS, or the disc.

  • How to Use a System Repair Disc to Restore Windows 7 For Seniors For Dummies

    Hi I'm new to this forum and I haven't seen the proper place to post some thing like this. I'm going to post it here and staff can do what they wish with it.
    I can't understand why people aren't creating a System Repair Disc to Restore Windows 7. This is the best tool you can have. I have seen a ton of people posting here that can't boot into Windows 7. No mention of a repair Disc. Can you people not read?? This should be one of the first things to do after creating System Recovery Media(Mine requires 5DVD's). What is your thinking not to do these things?

  • L755-S5244 - W7 system repair disc could not be created... unable to parse... XML data. (0x800705B9)

    After creating a backup image of my W7 Toshiba laptop OK, the last step was the option to create a system repair disc. However that returned the following error:
    System repair disc could not be created
    Windows was unable to parse the requested XML data.
    (0x800705B9)
    Note this is *not* the same as "system recovery discs"! I already have a set of those discs which work OK.. What I need is a system repair disc which allows booting into special recovery mode to repair W7, to restore a backup image, etc.
    Note that my computer is working fine. I just need to be able to make a system repair disc in case there are future problems. There always are, eventually.
    In googling this problem, there are many reports of this error but no clear solution. Some of the reported fixes refer to microsoft help/support/social/technet links which no longer exist. I tried one of those suggestions, SFC /SCANNOW, which didn't find any system file errors on my computer. So that's not the cause.
    It may have something to do with the OEM W7 version which Toshiba puts on its laptops such as my L755-S5244(?). It's possible that Toshiba has intentionally or accidentally disabled the normal commands to make a system repair disc in W7. Does anybody know for sure?
    Thanks.

    I did a fair amount of goggling and reading, then... I tried 3 different downloadable boot disks from maximumpcguides.com, spirebyte, and mydigitallife.info. They all work exactly the same. When booting from one of those discs, there are 5 options offered. I had to make text notes (below) because there's no way to make screen images in repair mode.
    1) Startup Repair - apparently works OK, at least it went through the process and found no errors. That's as it should be, because this computer is working fine! My only objective here is to find out what can be done someday when it malfunctions, as all computers do eventually..
    2) System Restore - doesn't work
    big red X: "To use System Restore, you must specify which Windows installation to restore. Restart this computer, select an operating system, and then select System Restore." That makes no sense because I only have one Windows installation! This is an important option. Is there any way to access it when Windows 7 won't start normally?
    3) System Image Recovery - It found the image file I had created previously. But I didn't want to risk it on a properly functioning computer (no reason). So I don't know if it will actually work right... someday when I really need it.
    4) Windows Memory Diagnostic - doesn't work
    "Windows cannot check for memory problems. An error is preventing Windows from checking for memory problems during startup. To run the Windows Memory Diagnostic manually, boot the computer from  the Windows installation disc, and then select Windows Memory Diagnostic from the Windows Boot Manager menu." However there is no such thing as a Windows installation disc on Toshiba OEM W7. Or is there? Also, I can get to Windows Boot Manager by pressing f8 during startup then select Repair Your Computer, but it won't do anything. Again, it requests the Windows installation disc, which I don't have. Then at the end of all the verbiage... "... Status 0xc000000e; Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible." It would be nice to run a good memory diagnostic because I just  upgraded from 4G to 8G RAM. Suggestions?
    5) Command Prompt - apparently works OK, at least it listed the directory when I entered "dir".
    I feel that chances would be better if I could somehow get this W7 Toshiba laptop to make its own system repair disc, which goes full circle back to my original query... Can it be fixed to avoid the parse XML data error?

  • 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.

  • Woke up to OS X Utilities window with 4 options. Tried repairing discs, and ended up re-installing the OS and now everything is gone. Please help.

    Woke up to OS X Utilities window up on my screen with 4 options. One was backup from Time Machine, another was to re-install the OS, the third was to open Safari for help, and the last was to repair discs. I tried repairing all of the discs including the two external hard drives I had attached and it said that they were all good. Then I proceeded to re-install the OS, but it would only allow me to install Mavericks and I had already upgraded to Yosemite. I tried restarting with a safe boot and it got stuck half way for more than an hour, so I just did a hard restart. Without a recent Time Machine backup, I decided to try re-installing the OS. The funny thing is that it would only let me install it on my external HD and not the internal HD - and there was a message saying that a newer OS was on the internal HD and so it could not be installed there. So after it was installed, it started up like it was a brand new mac - asking me for my apple ID, wifi, etc. And now I have nothing on the computer - no programs, files, anything. And the Macintosh HD showed up in the finder, but it ejected itself and is no longer viewable. Any ideas on how I can get this back to normal??? I am pretty desperate at this point.

    Thanks! My trackpad has been broken for a while and physical clicks no longer work, only taps. I plugged in a mouse and it worked.
    Doesn't seem like good design to me.

  • HT1533 i have no control of my new imac as windows 7 starts suggesting system repair and usb ports seem to be

    how do i regain control of my mac to unhang it from needing system repair (windows7)
    should osx on an sd card work (only option?)!
    any response would greatly encourage success.

    If you are having Windows issues then you need to be in touch with a Windows forum for assistance. You did not state how you run Windows (Boot Camp, Parallels, Fusion, etc....) so I'm afraid I can't provide any more help than that. If you happen to use Boot Camp, there is a Boot Camp forum available which is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus tend to hang out.  The same would hold true if you use virtualization apps such as Fusion or Parallels.
    Good luck.

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button.

  • [EliteBook 8570w] General System Board Failure

    While trying out a new Linux distro (probably unrelated), I've found my EliteBook 8570w unbootable. When I turn on the computer both the num lock and caps lock lights blink 5 times (General system board failure) while seeing the HP boot logo.
    I tried restoring a working BIOS, however I've formatted all drives before which means there's not HP_TOOLS or HP_RECOVERY partitions. I tried restoring the BIOS through a flash drive but with no results: the light of the USB drive flashes for about a half second, the caps lock light starts flashing, the fan goes full throttle and then nothing happens; the computer can only be turned off by unplugging AC.
    After trying several configurations of the flash drive (UEFI restore, BIOS update, custom stuff...) with the same result, I'm not sure what to do next.
    Is there any other viable options to try (e.g. would flashing BIOS work with a HP_TOOLS partition on the HDD)? Is my motherboard just plain dead?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Elitebook 8570w - Windows 7 - How to turn off light when touchpad disabled

    I much prefer to use the styk rather than the touch pad, and I lay my hands on the computer in such a way that I can accidentally trigger the touch pad when it is on.  So with laptops I usually just go to the device manager and disable the touch pad entirely.
    However, on my Elitebook 8570w, when I disable the touch pad, this extremely bright orange light comes on.  It's extremely annoying, especially in low light situations, where I often have to work with my laptop.
    How can I disable this light while the touchpad is disabled?

  • URGENT: I lost the Lion Partition after repairing the Windows 7 partition

    URGENT: I lost the Lion Partition after repairing the Windows 7 partition
    I have recent bought a new Macbook Pro and then I start doing all the necessary setup. This is the first time I do such setup with bootcamp myself anyway.
    1st: normal MacOS setup, the Lion version has been setup perfectly.
    2nd: run the bootcamp and setup the Windows 7, done perfectly as well.
    3rd: try to partition and resize the harddrive with the Lion installed and create 2 new FAT partitions (now 4 partitions in total: 1 for Lion, Journaled, 1 for Windows 7 in NTFS, 2 for file sharing purposes in FAT). See if I can have better partitioning to do necessary organisations.
    4th: When I want to restart in Windows to see if the newly created 2 FAT partitions can be read in Windows environment and can function norally, the Windows setup does not show at the start up page when I hold the "Option" key during the startup. I then try to restart again, still no such partition but boot directly to Lion.
    5th: I tried to repair the Windows 7 with the start up disc and then it worked. I can also see the 2 newly partitioned FAT drive work normally.
    6th: When I want to restart in Lion, I cannot boot the Lion OS and I cannot find the start up icon on the startup page even with me holding the "Option" Key.
    7th: "MacOS Installation Utility" appears. I tried to repair but cannot as I have neither the Lion setup disc with me (coz the Lion has been pre-installed) nor a time machine backup/ any other backup image to load from.
    8th: Tried to "erase and install a new copy of Lion", the partition where the Lion has been previously installed cannot be shown, now indicate itself as "freespace" and not able to be selected for my "erase and reinstall" process.
    9th: so I go to 2 other FAT drives to do as the instructions to try "erase" and hope the "reinstall" process can be started. But the Disk Utility ends up saying the drive cannot be dismounted/ cannot verfy...
    At the end of the many tries, I tried to shut the computer down and restart again, hopefully something will work still.... the startup page now shows a disk image with ?, I guess NO OPERATION system/ drive detected for booting. So I got a piece of metals without any use now...
    Anybody help? Thanks alot!!

    In Windows, go to Control Panel -> System. Do you see a Boot Camp option? If you do not, please download BC drivers as appropriate for you specific Mac year/model System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support

  • System won't start - Error 0xc000014c and System Repair fails to work.

    Hi,
    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium x64 on my Dell Inspiron 1520 Notebook and I had to force shut down the computer yesterday because it was unresponsive (Programs wouldn't execute, shut-down didn't work). When I turned it back on I got an error screen:
    Windows Boot Manager
    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the Problem:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
    2. Choose your language settings, and click "Next."
    3. Click "Repair your computer."
    If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
    File: \Windows\system32\config\system
    Status: 0xc000014c
    Info: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing, or corrupt.
    ENTER=Continue           ESC=Exit
    I inserted my Windows Installation disc and pressed ESC to restart, then pressed F12 and booted from the DVD-drive. I waited for the "Windows is loading files..." and "(c) Microsoft Corporation" loading bars, then clicked on "Next" at the language page and "Repair your computer" at the install Vista page. A loading box pops up "Searching for Windows installations..." and after a few minutes I can access the "System Recovery Options" box, which shows my OS. I select it and click "next", but an error message pops up saying:
    System Recovery Options
    This version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of Windows.
    [OK]
    The other option at the bottom of "System Recovery Options" is "Load Drivers." If I click OK, I can see all the folders on the installation disc, and any Setup Information (*.inf) Files. I can also browse my whole drive, but I cannot open any files other than .inf. I can even navigate to my USB stick if I plug it in. I tried opening each of the .inf files that I found in "sources" which was where "Open" opened to but this happened for all of them:
    Add Drivers
    The specified location does not contain information about your hardware.
    [OK]
    My first question: is there an .inf file that I could download and access from the USB stick that would repair my system?
    I also wanted to do a system restore, and found instructions how to burn a Vista x64 recovery disc from a downloadable iso on the HowtoGeek.com (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/). I booted from my newly burned system recovery disc, and it went through the two loading screens, and then to a black screen with the cursor. I waited here for about 20 minutes and nothing seemed to be happening, so I gave up.
    My second question: How can I get the system recovery disc to work?
    My initial post was on HowtoGeek.com forums:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/startup-error-0xc000014c-cannot-repair-or-restore-my-system?replies=2#post-50643
    And I was referred here.
    Any advice is appreciated, in the mean time, I will keep trying the recovery disc to do a system restore. Maybe I just need to wait longer (Hours, days?)
    Sincerely,
    Daniel
    *EDIT
    I guess I will just reinstall Windows.

    Hi Daniel,
    The reason why the error message “This version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair” appears can be that your Windows installation is a RTM one while Server Pack 1 is installed on you system. Therefore, your disk version is lower than your system so that you cannot use this disk to enter WinRE.
    The recovery disk you created is a third-party tool which we are not familiar with. We cannot tell why it does not work on your computer. You need to contact the tool manufacturer for more information.
    Now the simplest way to resolve this issue is to restore the system to its factory settings. If you have important files on the computer, please unplug the drive and install it on another computer as a slave drive. Then you can access your data on that computer. After that, you can restore the system to its factory settings. If you would like to know how to restore the system to its factory settings, please contact Dell or look up your computer manual.
    Hope it helps.
