  • BIOS recovery process for HP systems with AMI BIOS?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to fix an HP a6718uk model PC which has an M2N78-LA motherboard and (I think) and AMI BIOS.  A BIOS update that came through HP Update has failed, and the machine will not boot.
    As it's out of warranty the HP Repair Centre want £200.00 to fix it, even though a simple BIOS recovery process should be sufficient - does anyone know the BIOS recovery process for these systems?   Everything I've read (not specific to these boards) says you should be able to put a BIOS update (called AMIBOOT.ROM) on either a floppy, CD, or USB memory stick, and boot holding down Ctrl-Home and it will perform the recovery, but I've not been able to get this to work successfully.  HP don't supply a standalone update so I've extracted the file from the BIOS update SP.exe on the HP support site.
    Any help would be most appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Andrew

    Brilliant idea - I tried AMIBOOT.BIN and that didn't work, but then took the Hex Editor to the file - it's HPBIOS.ROM
    Renamed the file to HPBIOS.ROM and all now works.
    To recap for anyone reading the thread, this was from an HP machine with a corrupt AMI BIOS, to get it back, extract the ROM file from the SP.exe file from the HP website, rename it from VLE5.22 (or whatever the file is that ends in a numeric) to HPBIOS.ROM and copy onto a floppy diskette.   Put the floppy in the internal diskette drive (in my case a Sony OEM drive attached using a grey floppy ribbon cable) and boot the machine.  You may need to hold down Ctrl-Home, but not 100% sure.   After a long while the machine will give 4 or 5 beeps, and reset itself.  Once it's done that it will boot normally.
    Thanks for your help David - much appreciated.
    Cheers,

  • Best recovery application for external drives?

    I have a Western Digital 500GB external drive I picked up maybe 4 or 5 years ago that I wasn't really using much, but had been the last couple weeks.  Transfered some things over to it on Sunday.   Noticed last night that it wasn't showing up on the desktop.  Went to Disc Utilities and noticed that while the drive itself was accessable, the specific drive was greyed out.   Tried to mount it manually, and no go.
    Doing a disk utility repair of the drive on my current computer (iMac Core i7, running Lion) tells me there is no problem.  Doing a disk utility repair of the specified drive tells me there is a partition being updated... but nothing ever updates.
    So I unplugged it and hooked up my old iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo, running Panther) and tried to repair it that way.  Now it tells me that the drive has an invalid header volume on that computer, and claims it has repaired the hard drive... but yet, again nothing.
    From every indication, the drive itself has all my stuff... I just can't get to it.  And I know there are a handful of products that can scan the drive and help me retrieve the files.   Does anyone have any suggestions?  Any of the ones from the App Store, perhaps?
    Thanks.

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • Cannot finish recovery process for a Satellite M645-S4070

    Hi there!
    My son had a bad virus on his laptop that I was unable to fix.  I am trying to recover to the out-of-box state using recovery dvds and the user's guide.  I followed the instructions but the computer seems to be stuck at copying files.....please wait.  It has been on that screen for about 90 minutes.  I'm afraid to do anything that might cause damage during this process.  Is it normal to be copying files for that long?
    Thank you!
    Deloris

    Satellite M645-S4070
    Deloris, I've read about cases here where restoring the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media took hours. So sit tight for several.

  • T42 Recovery process stuck in loop

    I ran the 7 + 1 disc recovery process for my Thinkpad T42P.  I selelct restore factory defaults and  tt runs all of the discs and says operation is completed succesfully and I should reboot.  I switch the bios boot order to defaults.  But then it just keeps retrunging me to the Rescue and Recovery screen and will never start the OS.  Please help!  How can I get out of this loop? ?

    zac, welcome to the forum,
    please try the following;
    shut the system down by pressing the power button for 5 seconds, or untill the system shuts down.
    Start the system as you normally would and press the blue Access IBM button when you see the message "To interrupt boot..."
    When R&R has loaded select to restore the system and then factory restore.
    This should work.

  • Toshiba shipping policy/process for recovery media - bizarre and expensive.

    Is anyone else upset that Toshiba charges nearly twenty five dollars to mail us something we already essentially own?
    "There is no charge for the software itself, for which customers already own licenses, and as of 10/1/10 the shipping and handling charges for delivery of recovery media in the US is $24.95 for DVD media or $34.95 for USB sticks."
    Also, for such an exorbitant price for getting such a small, lightweight package physically to the customer, I don't think it's out of line to expect Toshiba to be OVERNIGHTING the disks....but, it appears Toshiba does not do this, either; my email told me that while "most orders ship the next business day," I should expect to wait 5-7 business days to receive them. Clearly, they are NOT overnighting this.
    Worse yet -- when I checked the tracking of my package, it appears, for some bizarre reason, Toshiba has elected to ship my disks from North Carolina to Georgia (via DHL?) and then, from GA, back up the eastern seaboard to Baltimore, Maryland, where I live.....via the US postal service. This must be some "one size fits all" mailing scheme, which I object to very strongly, given I've laid out $24.95 for what ACTUALLY should only cost a couple bucks, tops. It's ridiculous to ship a package from North Carolina, to GEORGIA, then Maryland. That's wasting several days to ship something in the WRONG DIRECTION. And using two companies to do it. Other companies I do business with don't do this....why does Toshiba? It is idiotic. I object to it because for $24.95, this could be overnighted to me, directly from North Carolina to Maryland, and Toshiba would STILL pocket a profit.
    We as customers should demand better service than this....every day without the computer is like a week, and we're paying for top not service here!

    The Recovery discs cost 24.95 is already a package which is for the disc and the shipping. Normally the standard shipping time is 7 -10 business days because when a customer orders a recovery disc, that is the only time that toshiba creates a recovery disc for the laptop that is, according to the tech that I have spoken to. Some toshiba laptops does not come with a Recovery disc because the laptop already had a Hidden Recovery Partition that would allow you to create your own recovery disc and perform the recovery process without needing a recovery disc. So generally speaking, getting the RACD  would depend on the model of the laptop that you have or if the laptop's hard drive is being replaced  

  • Hard Drive Recovery Process has been selected

    One day, while playing a game online, the computer screen went black and a blue box appeared that said "Hard Drive Recovery Process has been selected Press Yes if you wish to continue " Also, there was NO which only shut the computer down. YES took me to a blue screen with recovery and troubleshooting options. At first, none of these worked, or stayed. Because the next time I used my computer I would get the same Hard Drive Recovery Process message and had to try various things to make it work. I did purchase a Windows 8.1 recovery flashdrive from Toshiba and attempted to install it. It took about 6 tries for it to completely install. However, after installing, I was unable to use the RESTART option to power off the computer as it would trigger the Hard Drive Recovery Process again ! Ugh ! Last night, I powered the laptop off using SHUT DOWN and in the morning, I got the Hard Drive Recovery Process screen again, much to my horror. I have Norton Internet Security and Anti Virus as well as I used Toshiba maintenance tasks and no problems were found. I would appreciate any information on troubleshooting and repairing this problem, if there is a solution. Thanks !!!!!

    I did purchase a Windows 8.1 recovery flashdrive from Toshiba   ...   after installing  ..  it would trigger the Hard Drive Recovery Process again
    The fact that the problem remains after restoring the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media means the software doesn't cause it.
    The computer needs servicing.

  • Process for new hard drive

    Hi everyone,
    I was hoping somebody could point me to some tutorials for upgrading the hard drive in my PowerBook G4 (1Ghz).
    I own an external drive (usb only) that is the same size as the drive in my PB (80gb), this is what I'd use to back up my hard drive (I could borrow a larger drive from work if necessary).
    What is the best process for backing up? Should I use Carbon Copy? I already have Retrospect Express.
    How can I make sure that I won't need to reinstall all my 3rd party apps (ex; iLife, Photoshop)? Would all of this be ported over when I copy my old hard drive over to the new hard drive?
    What is the best process for copying the backed up/copied hard drive to the new hard drive? Won't I need to reinstall Tiger first? Then run updates?
    Thanks for the help!

    "What is the best process for backing up? Should I use Carbon Copy? I already have Retrospect Express."
    I just replaced my drive, I used SuperDuper, it worked flawlessly, a major first for me since using OS X. I swear I'm not from that company, but it made a perfect bootable disk, important since I was swapping drives directly after copying data via USB to external enclosure. Had drive duplication problems prior, carbon copy was a no-go for me, to complicated, something not right w/ the updates, i forget what, it has been a while, just remember I was forced to reinstall apps.
    Should have gotten a firewire enclosure, could have tested it first w/ target mode, oh well.
